Looking at Shen Yi in front of him, Jiang Shangshu was silent for a long time before sighing silently.

"Forget it, the Ministry of War will do its best to help you, but there are some things that the old man needs to clarify in advance."

He coughed and said sternly: "The Ministry of War fully supports Huai'an because you, Shen Ziheng, are defending the country and establishing borders for the country. It has nothing to do with the old man's private name!"

He stroked his beard and looked at Shen Yi.

"The old man is already at this age, half of his body has been buried in the ground, and he has already passed the age of seeking fame and fortune."

In the imperial court, almost all of them are smart people who can achieve the position of Da Jiuqing. Although old man Jiang looks ordinary and doesn't seem to have any discernment, but often this kind of person sees things clearly.

If there was no interference from any external factors, but a secretary like Shen Yi came to ask him for something, Jiang Shangshu would probably not give it to him, at least he would not give it so happily.

He needs good enough.

Of course, the benefits mentioned here are not visible things like money and beauty, but political benefits. Shen Yi needs to pay him some political benefits before he nods in agreement.

But now, Shen Yi's fight against Qi in Huai'an is in full swing... Coupled with the internal court, after several rectifications by the emperor, and the change of attitude of Prime Minister Chen Jing, it seems inevitable to attack Qi.

And His Majesty the Emperor's support for Shen Yi is even more visible to the naked eye.

At this time, when Shen Yi made a request to old man Jiang, he had no room to refuse, but if he agreed to it, the reason was to say Guangwei Zheng, so that his reputation as Jiang Shangshu could be spread more widely.

and…

The old man's last sentence seemed to have something to say.

Shen Yi stood in the same place, after thinking for a while, he asked, "Tang Zun, Huai'an is currently short of manpower, I don't know Tang Zun, can anyone recommend?"

Jiang Shangshu said that he himself is old and has passed the age of seeking fame and fortune. He is over sixty this year, and he is indeed old, but he still has descendants, and his descendants are still young, and they still need fame and fortune. body.

Hearing this, old man Jiang patted Shen Yi's shoulder with a smile.

"Zi Heng."

He looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "I don't have any available talents in my hands, and all the scholars are not up to date, but thanks to His Majesty's love, I gave one of my grandsons a seventh-rank loose official two years ago. .”

"This old man's grandson doesn't have any great skills, but he is quite honest and down-to-earth in doing things. If there is a real shortage of manpower in Huai'an, please ask Ziheng to take him to Huai'an and arrange an errand for him."

Speaking of this, the old man quickly said: "Zi Heng, don't get me wrong. The old man asked his grandson to go, not to let him get promoted and make a fortune. It's just that he is in his 20s and has no fixed place yet. He just idles around every day."

"I just hope Ziheng can give him something to do, so that he can rest assured."

Hearing Jiang Shangshu's words, Master Shen was quite surprised.

It's not surprising that the old man paved the way for his grandson.

After all, paving the way was very normal. After Zhang Jian's grandfather, Zhang Jing, stepped down from the position of prime minister, he was still tirelessly paving the way for his precious grandson.

In another world, the famous Prime Minister Fu Bi also wrote a letter to pave the way for his elder brother. The letter that said "I also beg you to go" and asked the entrusted person to burn after reading it was still preserved. It became the "Son Post" that has been passed down through the ages, and was watched by an unknown number of people.

What surprised Shen Yi was that with old man Jiang's "status in the world", he could arrange other good jobs for his great grandson...

Huai'an...is a battlefield.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi smiled at Jiang Jian: "Tang Zun, if Mr. Jiang wants to do something, Huai'an does have some errands for him, but Huai'an is a battlefield after all, if the front line defense is unstable, Huai'an City may be lost .”

"Too dangerous."

He smiled at Jiang Jian and said, "Your Honor is sure, you want to arrange Young Master Jiang to Huai'an?"

The old man Jiang sighed slightly: "To be honest, this is not the old man's wish. It is the kid who heard about the front line in Huai'an and fought fiercely with the Qi people several times. He has come to the old man many times in the past two months and begged the old man to arrange him. Go to Huai'an."

"Young man, full of enthusiasm, can't be persuaded."

He looked up at Shen Yi, his lips moved without making a sound.

After a while, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Ziheng, he insists on doing his best for the country, and the old man can't stop him, so he can only let him go. If he really went to Huai'an, Ziheng doesn't want to let him go." He treats him as the grandson of the Minister of the Ministry of War, just treat him as an ordinary person."

"If he is unlucky, he will die in Huai'an."

The old Shangshu sighed, and said: "That is, he seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence. Our Jiang family will never make trouble for you, Ziheng."

After Shen Yi thought about it, he nodded and agreed.

Take the grandson of the Minister of the Ministry of War to the front line...

Still a good deal.

After all, the eldest grandson is on the front line, and the old man Jiang in the rear will send more snacks to Huai'an anyway, deliver supplies, and approve notes faster.

As for the young master's arrangement...

That is also very simple.

Do logistics.

With the increasing number of Huai'an troops, the construction of the logistics organization is also critical. A large part of the current logistics is relying on Xu Fu and the others for help, and there is also a shortage of people.

Seeing Shen Yi nodding in agreement, Jiang Shangshu didn't know whether he was happy or worried, so he was silent for a while, then cupped his hands at Shen Yi.

"Ziheng, I, the grandson of the Jiang family, is the only one who can be made..."

Shen Yi frowned: "Tang Zun, if you say that, the next official will not be able to take Mr. Jiang to Huai'an."

Old man Jiang shook his head and smiled at Shen Yi.

"What the old man means is that I hope Ziheng can teach him more."

"If he can't get out, the old man will disappear one day, and the Jiang family will be defeated immediately."

This situation is not surprising.

In this era, the imperial examination is the foundation of the country, but the scientific examination often requires talent and hard work.

Most of the second and third generations are too comfortable and are not willing to work hard.

And not necessarily talented.

For example, Zhao Changping's two sons, Zhao Youzhou and Zhao Jizhou.

Both of them are middle-class people. The boss has devoted himself to scientific research for 20 years and is still a scholar.

The second child is even more foolish, and it is impossible for scientific research.

This is a typical case of no successors, so Zhao Shangshu can only focus on his son-in-law Song Ying.

Jiang Shangshu was probably in the same situation.

Because he, like Zhao Changping, came from a "poor family" in scientific examinations. Most of his life, he has been struggling and making progress. He has no time and energy to rectify the family style, and he has no time to educate his children.

Shen Yi thoughtfully nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, as long as he puts his heart into it, he will definitely learn a lot in Huai'an."

"It's not necessary to learn anything from the lower officials."

Two people, one old and one young, chatted for a long time in the squad room of the Ministry of War.

It was not until the afternoon that Shen Yi said goodbye and left. Jiang Jian personally sent him to the gate of the Ministry of War, and the two smiled and said goodbye.

When old man Jiang turned and returned to the Ministry of War, Shen Yi also turned around silently, and glanced back at the Yamen of the Ministry of War behind him.

He lowered his eyebrows slightly and muttered softly.

"I don't know how many grandchildren this old man has."

After saying this sentence, he turned around silently, and put his hands into his sleeves.

No matter how many grandchildren this old man has.

He was willing to let his grandson go to Huai'an, which meant that Jiang Jian, one of the Great Nine Ministers of the Ministry of War, had completely and publicly sided with the Northern Expedition.

To be more precise, it was on Shen Yi's side.

This is good news, which shows that the court's change of direction is not limited to "attitude". Some people have already made some moves and started to place bets.

Although one ginger slip is not enough, it is already a good start for the Northern Expedition and the Huai'an Army.

With these thoughts in mind, Master Shen returned home in a carriage.

After returning home, I took the children all afternoon, and the day passed quietly.

The next day, before Shen Yi woke up, Qing'er knocked on his door.

"My lord, there are guests at home!"
