Chapter 55 Arrangement
"Wei Wei, how's it going? What errand did your father arrange for you?"

When Lu Weimang came out of the main hall, he was stopped by Qin Xuan who had been waiting for a long time.

Lu Weimang thought about what Qin Hou said to him just now, and shook his head, "Let me tell you about you first, which department did you go to?"

Qin Xuan shrugged, "I went to Xuzhou Division."

Lu Weimang thought for a while, "Xuzhou salt class?"

"Well, in addition to various taxes, the most important thing is that there is a division of the salt department. Actually, before I came, I knew that it was either the Xuzhou Department or the Yangzhou Department."

Lu Weimang patted Qin Xuan's arm, "Why do you not like your tone so plain?"

Qin Xuan shook his head, "I don't like it. It's just imaginable in the future, all kinds of sundries, I find it boring. If you can enter Xuzhou Division with me, we will make a career together."

Lu Weimang shook his head, "Then you will be disappointed. Marquis Qin didn't assign me any division, he just asked me to prove myself first."

Qin Xuan frowned, "How could this be? He was the one who pushed you to come to the Ministry of Accounting, why did he just let go of it now? No, I'll ask him for you." After speaking, he was about to turn around and go to the main hall of the Ministry of Accounting go.

Lu Weimang stood aside and looked at him.

Qin Xuan stopped, turned to look at Lu Weimang, a little embarrassed, "Weiwei, why didn't you stop me?"

Now it's Lu Weimang's turn to shrug his shoulders, "Why are you stopping me? You are standing up for me, I can't wait for it! Come on, I'll wait for your good news."

Qin Xuan stopped moving completely, turned around again, and walked to Lu Weimang's side, "Ha, my father must have high hopes for you, that's why he let you stay free. Right?"

Lu Weimang didn't expose Qin Xuan either, after all, she was a little apprehensive about Qin Hou's serious look.

"Qin Hou told me that my status as a woman is not suitable for cooperating with others as soon as I enter the household department. In that case, all kinds of resistance will not cooperate, not to mention, if there is a slight mistake, one mistake will be made, and I will be very yelling. At that time, I couldn't stay in this household department anymore. So Qin Hou asked me to open the situation first, and then talk about the future."

The implication is that if Lu Weimang can't break the situation and is pushed away, there is nothing he can do.

This is the reality, Lu Weimang has always known it.

After hearing this, Qin Xuan scratched his head, "Father can't help it either. It's okay, if you need anything in the future, you can come to me, and I'll help you."

Qin Xuan patted his chest and said to Lu Weimang.

Lu Weimang looked at Qin Xuan sideways, "It's really something, if you don't tell me, I won't let you go."

Qin Xuan smiled warmly, "I sneaked out to meet you, how about it, come with me and sit with me now?"

Qin Xuan wanted to go back to work, of course Lu Weimang would not stop him, "You go, I'll go to the Miscellaneous Department to find a map and have a look, if there is any clue."

The two parted, Qin Xuan went back to his Xuzhou Department to drink tea and read the materials, while Lu Weimang went to the Miscellaneous Department.

Fortunately, when asking for directions and looking for things, as long as Lu Weimang asked, someone would answer.Although everyone in the household department turned a blind eye to Lu Weimang, they didn't deliberately make things difficult.After all, everyone knew that Lu Weimang was the one who Qinhou wanted to come over, and he didn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.

The sundries department seems to be the quietest place in the large courtyard of the household department.Other departments still need to deal with miscellaneous materials. In the whole department, there are many people coming in and out.In the Miscellaneous Department, there is only one person in charge, who is the person who sorts out the miscellaneous objects. Lu Weimang entered the Miscellaneous Department. With the help of the principal, he found the map and put it on the desk next to the innermost bookshelf in the room of the Miscellaneous Department. , looking at the sunlight outside the window.

It's very quiet here, which is different from the busy scene you saw when you entered the gate just now.This place seems to be located in the southwest corner of the large courtyard of the household department. In the entire large room, there are only a few sundries and materials, and the sound of the principal drinking tea.

Lu Weimang looked at the map of Dagan Thirteen Prefectures marked on the map, thinking about what Qin Hou said just now. "The Great Qian Dynasty was first established, and the order was first established. At the beginning, it was possible to divide the land and divide the fields. Now the whole country has become His Majesty's. Naturally, His Majesty must govern it well. But to govern the country, money is needed everywhere. Nobles Sitting in the city of food, you only need to collect money, don't care about natural disasters and man-made disasters, but the emperor has to take care of it. At present, the most money collected by the treasury every year is land tax and salt tax. It's not enough. So, on the one hand, the emperor is carrying out land reforms. In order to prevent the turmoil of the nobles, he specially called Huo Jing, a die-hard supporter of the emperor, to come back. If you, Lu Weimang, want to open up the situation in the household department, you must We have to start with the most difficult problem of the Ministry of Households, either to find a better way to collect more land taxes on the basis of no tax increase, or to find a solution from the salt tax. In a word, the emperor I need your ability to accumulate money, if you can’t hand in a satisfactory answer and lose your heart, as a woman, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to survive in the sixth part.”

After hearing this, Lu Weimang felt relieved.

Over the years in the Imperial College, people often questioned Lu Weimang, a woman, how could He De be appointed by the Holy One to enroll in school.This doubt became more serious this year as Lu Weimang grew up.

Now it's all right, as long as Lu Weimang is the talent needed by His Majesty, as long as she can show her own value, she can be full of confidence and answer all kinds of doubts and noises in her life.

Now, all she needs to do is to find a way.

Of course, land and salt tax are points that Lu Weimang will never touch.The emperor wanted to change the land system, but he needed General Huo to return to Beijing to escort him. Lu Weimang would not naively start from here.

As for the salt tax, to be honest, she earned this money a few years ago.Now part of it is probably in the hands of Qin Hou, that is, His Majesty, and the other part is in his own hands.Although Papa Lu would use it sometimes, to be honest, he didn't use it much.These years, the money is in Lu Weimang's private treasury.She didn't think about it for the time being.

From this aspect, Qin Hou and His Majesty are quite kind.Knowing how much it is, and the court is short of money, they have let themselves hold the money all these years.It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a gentleman.

Therefore, open source is the only way to achieve what Qin Hou said about opening up the situation.

There is no need to stare at the immediate interests if you work hard and have a lot of resources.

Lu Weimang's eyes saw Jizhou from Youzhou, the most bitter and cold place in the north, Xuzhou where Qin Xuan was located, and then to the south were Jingyang and Nanyue, the land of Nanman.

Nanyue was not peaceful, Lu Weimang looked away, and looked at Jingzhou again.

That's where she made her first pot of gold.

Lu Weimang struggled in his heart.

Looking away, next to Jingzhou is Yizhou.In this era, Yizhou is full of miasma, which is not a bit worse than Jingzhou next door.

Lu Weimang's eyes moved between these two states, she was a little undecided.

"Wei Wei? Lu Wei Mang!"

The sudden voice interrupted Lu Weimang's hungry thoughts. She raised her head and saw Qin Xuan was standing outside the window, his whole body was bathed in the golden orange sunlight, as if glowing, and his whole body was also filled with gentleness. smile.

"Why are you in a daze, dumbfounded?"

Qin Xuan knocked on the window, and Lu Weimang came back to his senses, "It's already evening?"

"Isn't it? It's been a long time since you left the office. Look here, are you the only one left?"

Lu Weimang looked forward, and the figure of the principal who seemed to be drinking tea just now had disappeared.

Lu Weimang put away the map, got up and stretched, "Been sitting for a whole day before I knew it. Why do I feel that my stomach is so empty!"

Lu Weimang took a sip of the tea that had been placed on the table next to the map since the morning, rubbed his face, and prepared to walk home.

The Hubu courtyard is in Wenchang Hall, the southernmost part of the imperial palace. When you leave Wenchang Hall, it is a large square. On the left side of the square is Wenchang Hall, and on the right side is Wuwei Hall.

Walking on the huge and wide square, the sun in June was exceptionally bright, Lu Weimang stretched out his hand, trying to catch the sun, but found that his hand was also dyed golden orange.

"You must be hungry after sitting all day today. I'll go with you to lead the horse. I have some snacks. You can eat some on the mat first. Let's go to Rongsheng Pavilion for dinner later to celebrate the first day of going to the Yamen today."

Qin Xuan always looks so carefree and heartless, Lu Weimang thought about it and nodded.She also happened to have some questions about Xuzhou, and wanted to ask Qin Xuan to help him find some detailed information.

"Where's your horse? Or come with me, I have a horse anyway."

Lu Weimang shook his head, "Dad must be waiting for me to leave the office, I have to tell Dad."

Qin Xuan put his arm on Lu Weimang's shoulders, as if he was playing with his classmates in the Imperial College, "You usually say that I am immature and childish, but now let me take the blame? Shangya Sanya has to find Father, tell me first, are you still a child?"

Lu Weimang shook his shoulders, trying to shake off the arms on his shoulders, but retorted, "I'm just out of courtesy."

The two chattered and went to the Wuwei Hall to find Father Lu, but an unexpected person appeared at the gate of the Wuwei Hall.

Huo Jing was dressed in a black uniform, with a wide belt tightly tied around his waist. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The generals of the Mighty Palace behind him were suppressed.

Qin Xuan was the first to see Huo Jing's figure. He wanted to say hello, but was stared at by his sharp eyes. He couldn't help standing up straight, and took off the arm on Lu Weimang's shoulder, "General Huo."

Hearing Qin Xuan's voice, Lu Weimang turned his head and saw Huo Jing, Lin Chen and Ding Yi standing at the gate of Wuwei Palace. Behind him, there was Father Lu on the side, who seemed to be waiting for someone.

This is the first time the two have met since watching the fireworks drunk that day.

"Weimang, you are here, General Huo has been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Weimang stared at her father, then looked up at Huo Jing. He seemed to be taller than the others, and she needed to look up vigorously, "General Huo, what can I do for you?"

Lu Weimang asked.
