Chapter 75
"You did a good job, what do you want me to reward you for?"

When Shen Shiyi entered Chengming Hall, he heard His Majesty's majestic voice.

Shen Shiyi bowed, "I should do my best to do business for His Majesty. However, I still have nowhere to stay in the capital. If Your Majesty can give me a mansion, I will be very grateful."

"You woman..." His Majesty's laughing and cursing voice came, and no one would be stern to her when they saw the account books and real money Shen Shiyi handed over, after all, she could be regarded as a rare capable subordinate.

"Originally, I wanted you to be the Prime Minister of Internal Treasury, a serious sixth-rank official, but now you ask for a mansion. Tell me, should I give you a promotion or a mansion?"

Shen Shiyi lowered his head and stood respectfully in Nuo Da's Chengming Hall. He didn't dare to look up at His Majesty's expression, but bowed down respectfully and cupped his hands, "It's all up to Your Majesty's will."

"Haha, okay, then I will reward you with an extra house. There is a house on Houtan Street. It was originally an old censor who returned home after returning home. Although it is not big, the land is good. It is close to Zhuque Street. , It is convenient to go in and out of the Shang Dynasty Sanya. There are still a few official slaves there, so I won’t take them back, you can just use them.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Shiyi bowed down to thank him.

"Thanks for that? It's not worth it. I plan to let you be the Prime Minister of the Neikusi, in charge of the Neikusi, the sixth-rank official. Although the rank is not high, the responsibility is heavy. This time you did a good job in the county. You have collected money, have you benefited the people, let alone competed with the people, yes, next, you will continue to work hard according to this direction."

The majestic voice was full of satisfaction and praise, and Shen Shiyi was also happy with it.Because His Majesty fully understood her intentions, it gave her a sense of confidant.The things she sells in Shangjun's shop are all "fancy but not useful" luxury goods, which are chased after by the rich, officials and gentry, but have no impact on the lives of the people, and can even benefit one side of the people. The barren upper county has a chance to improve people's livelihood.

Among other things, the luminous cups were originally worthless stones all over the mountains, but now they are made into luminous cups. The local people participated in the mining and production, which made a lot of money.

Shen Shiyi felt that his heart was appreciated, and was inexplicably excited, "Yes, I must do my best in a humble job!"

"Do your best? Then where did Xie Shangshu's salt-making method come from?"

Suddenly, His Majesty's lazy voice came from above his head, and Shen Shiyi couldn't help but glance up, seeing His Majesty leaning on the dragon chair, looking down at him, with a playful and majestic expression on his face, Shen Shiyi After thinking about it, I still reported it according to the facts, "It's a humble idea of ​​a lowly position, and it hasn't had time to be perfected, so I didn't report it to His Majesty. That day, my uncle accidentally learned that it might be because he was eager to serve the court, so he submitted the blueprint to the court. In fact, that , drawings, and some flaws."

After Shen Shiyi finished speaking, Chengming Hall was silent for a moment.

Shen Shiyi couldn't take the opportunity to accuse Xie Qingshan hysterically.After all, he has been an official for many years and has his own reputation. If he is not good enough and smooth enough, he will not be promoted step by step.

For such a person of high morals and high status in the eyes of the ministers and His Majesty, if Shen Shiyi rashly uttered accusations, everyone would not consider what Shen Shiyi said, but the first impression, they would regard Shen Shiyi as a fool people.Even if it turns out that Shen Shiyi is right, people will think that she is aggressive and difficult to discipline.
This is her bloody experience after arguing with her parents in front of outsiders.

The gap brought about by the gap in natural status is difficult to make up.Unless she makes a name for herself in the future and has a well-known reputation, her words will have weight.Only when she speaks out to criticize others, it will have more weight, subconsciously making people stand on her side.

"Little Fox!"

After a long while, the voice above the head sounded, even with a trace of undetectable satisfaction and complaints.

Shen Shiyi didn't understand, so she didn't seem to have much contact with His Majesty, could it be because Qin Zhan trusted him so much?Shen Shiyi couldn't help but think so.

"It's good if you have a plan, step back, after you leave the office, there will be a little yellow gate to take you to Houtan Street, your residence."

A majestic voice sounded above his head, Shen Shiyi didn't have time to think about it, and bowed to leave.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Back in Neikusi, the two long-lost Neikusi gatekeepers were waiting for Shen Shiyi inside the Neikusi gate.

"Master Shen, no, Shen Sicheng, Chief Officer Shen, we will have to rely on you to take care of us in the future."

Li Dazhi took the lead in cupping his hands, congratulating Shen Shiyi, Yang Yansi was not to be outdone, and beside Li Dazhi, cupped his hands and looked at Shen Shiyi, "Master Shen, you've been away for half a year, we really want to die, what's the matter in the future, Just send the two of us, we have nothing else to do but endure hardships and work hard, and we are not afraid to do things!"

These two people had been idle for many years before Shen Shiyi came, but when Shen Shiyi came, they hurriedly came and left, and their mentality changed. When Shen Shiyi returned to Beijing again, but after half a year, they had already settled down Cus's first family fortune!This made the two of them unable to sit still, and immediately made up their minds to stay by Shen Shiyi's side and do some practical things, wasting time all day long, and made the two "exiles" who were excluded a little unable to sit still up.

They were originally excluded in the Sixth Department because they were out of place. They used to have nothing to do. Now that they have the opportunity, it is inevitable that some of them will work hard and want to cheer up.

Shen Shiyi waved his hands with a smile on his face, "We work together, where there is no leader or not, we just help each other."

Shen Shiyi looked at the top of his head, "I didn't see His Majesty handing in his errands until after the morning court this morning. It will be noon now, let's chat while eating."

Shen Shiyi opened his mouth, and Li Dazhi stood up first, "I prepared it for you earlier. Our courtyard here is separated from anyone in the palace, so it is very comfortable. Right now, early winter is the time for nourishment. When you come back from Shangjun, you must have eaten fresh beef and mutton somewhere, right? Let’s try our meat together today, it will be another taste."

Shen Shiyi followed Li Dazhi to the backyard, and there was actually a copper pot. Li Dazhi smiled proudly, "I got the silver charcoal here from home, and there is ample amount. Eat a warm meal without forgetting the smell on your body, and the wind will blow it away in time."

Shen Shiyi gave a thumbs up to Li Dazhi and the two, "It's such a good life, it's delicious!"

The three of them sat around the fire, talking while waiting to open their chopsticks.

The two of them were envious of Shen Shiyi's trip to Shuofang, and asked endlessly about whether the mountains in Shuofang were really majestic, whether the water in Shuofang was really flowing freely, and the fields there were said to be barren. People there don't know how to survive...

Shen Shiyi knew everything, and after a while, the two people sighed up and down. People's yearning for mountains, rivers and land is innate. Seeing that Shen Shiyi, who is so much younger than them, actually walked to Shuofang, they haven't been out of the capital for so many years , became more determined, and showed great hospitality to Shen Shiyi, saying that the next time something happened, he would send the two of them to do it for him.

The three of them ate to their heart's content, and when they returned to the study, Xiao Huangmen came over to report, "Lord Shen, Fourth Highness welcomes you."
