Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1052 I’ll give you a promotion, do you want it?
evening.

Night is about to fall.

Bai Mingwei came to the door of Taifu's mansion and knocked on Song Chengzhang's door.

After a while, Song Chengzhang's servant introduced Bai Mingwei into Song Chengzhang's study.

Compared to the White Mansion, the Taifu Mansion is much smaller.

There are no very exquisite courtyards and furnishings in the mansion, which is as simple as Song Chengzhang.

But the study room is huge. The main room of the entire courtyard is connected to two side rooms, and there are a huge number of books inside.

But extremely neat.

When Bai Mingwei came in, Song Chengzhang was busy with official duties at his desk.

Seeing Bai Mingwei, he raised his head and said, "It's just the two of us here. You're welcome. Please find a place to sit."

Bai Ming gave a slight salute, then found a place to sit down: "I wonder why the Master Taifu sent me a message?"

Song Chengzhang put down what he was holding and then sat up straight.

He grabbed a tea cup from his hand, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Bai Mingwei: "Of course I have something to talk to you about, otherwise why would you make this troublesome trip?"

Bai Ming stood up slightly, took the tea respectfully, and sat back on the chair: "It's okay, sir."

Song Chengzhang said: "The investigation of the fake envoys has been almost completed. The Ministry of Rites has uncovered a large number of officials."

Bai Mingwei sipped her tea slowly without making any comment.

These things have nothing to do with her and she has no say.

Silence is the best choice.

Song Chengzhang continued: "I don't know what Yuan Xun is thinking, but now he will never mention the attack on the mission."

"So I put this emphasis on rectifying the administration of officials. The leader can't move, but his minions can take the opportunity to clean up a lot."

"There is no dispute that the officials involved will be demoted and dismissed. Many people in the DPRK should also be promoted."

Bai Ming smiled and said, "I wonder why you are telling me this? This is not within the scope of my responsibilities."

Song Chengzhang smiled and said: "It concerns you, so naturally I have to come to you so that you can have an idea."

Bai Mingwei asked: "Is it about the matter that I entrusted to you before?"

Song Chengzhang glanced at her indifferently: "You girl, you are just pretending to be confused because you understand. That Ren Changlin is just a small role. It is just a simple matter to arrange an insignificant position for him in the Ministry of Etiquette. I don't need to find you specially." ."

Bai Mingwei followed his words and said, "In that case, there must be something big going on when you come to me."

Song Chengzhang sighed. At this time, his conversation with Bai Mingwei was quite laborious.

So he simply stopped laying the groundwork and went directly to the main point: "Donngling guards one side and has tens of thousands of military generals, all of whom are third-grade military officers."

"Only you, although you sit in the northern border in the name of Zhenbei, but you only have a third-level military position. If you want to occupy a place in the court, you must be promoted to this half-level no matter what."

"So I am here to talk to you about your promotion. I want to raise your position by half a level, so that you will be on the same level as General Pingxi and General Fuyuan."

Although everything was expected, Bai Mingwei still pretended to be surprised: "This... you will definitely deserve it."

Song Chengzhang still had the same smile on his face: "You are being humble. Recently, you have done a very good job in welcoming the envoys. You deserve to be promoted."

Bai Mingwei showed hesitation: "However, the missing envoy has not been found. If others make trouble for this, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Song Chengzhang smiled and said: "I came to you precisely because of this hidden danger."

Bai Mingwei cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice."

Song Chengzhang said: "It is naturally not a good time to mention your promotion now, but if you continue to achieve some results, it will be a matter of course."

Bai Mingwei still pretended not to understand: "I don't understand, sir. Please make it clear."

Song Chengzhang took a deep look at her and then said: "Although the wine deal has been signed, Shen Zian is in trouble."

Bai Mingwei asked: "Why?"

Song Chengzhang said: "Of course, there is no way to deliver so much wine in one go."

Bai Ming said softly: "This general doesn't understand. Since you can't deliver the goods, why did you agree to it in advance?"

Song Chengzhang leaned back: "This time when I went north to defend against the enemy, the money appropriated from the treasury was all scraped together here and there."

"At the end of last year, people's harvest was not good, and the taxes collected were not enough to fill the emptiness of the national treasury, which is now tight."

"If this deal goes through, it will ease the temporary tension on the national treasury and prevent the frontier soldiers from having nothing to eat this winter."

"So even if you know that it will be difficult to hand over this batch of goods, Shen Zian must nod and agree first. You can't give up the opportunity you finally fought for without giving it a try."

Bai Mingwei said: "I probably heard Mr. Shen mention something about the matter in the end. It is obvious that Yuan Xun deliberately made things difficult. This batch of goods is difficult to hand over no matter what."

Song Chengzhang nodded: "You are right. The relevant ministers in the court are worried about this matter right now. They are helpless."

"If you can find a way to get Dongling to deliver the goods, then no one will be able to find a reason to refute your promotion."

Bai Ming lowered her eyelids slightly, and things were exactly as she expected.

So she had already thought about how to deal with this matter.

So, she refused at first: "Your Majesty, you overestimate me. I don't have the ability to prepare all the goods Beiyan wants at once."

Song Chengzhang resolutely said: "Don't think that I know nothing about your actions at the palace banquet."

"On that day, Lu Yunfeng's life was hanging by a thread. Someone poured a glass of wine into your wine glass. After that, Yuan Wu gave the order to the warrior, and the warrior failed in the competition."

"Others don't know that kind of wine, but I know it. It's Liuxiazui, the treasure of today's drunken store, also called acacia wine."

After a pause, Song Chengzhang continued:
"Being able to get such a variety of wines from Jin Chao Zui, and also get the treasure of the store, I know that you have a close relationship with Jin Chao Zui."

"Mingwei, if we facilitate the deal and you get promoted, this is the best of both worlds. It will be beneficial to both the treasury and you."

Bai Ming was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Sir, as a person who is about to marry and get married, it seems that there is no great need for me to be promoted or not."

"But I know how difficult it is to deliver a sufficient amount of goods. Even if I can get the wine recipe and clear out their inventory due to my relationship with Jin Chaozui, I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver this goods."

Song Chengzhang asked: "Why do you say that?"

Bai Mingwei said word for word: "The reason why today's drunk wine is irreplaceable is not only because of the exclusive secret recipe, but also because of their brewing process."

"Even if we get the wine order, we won't be able to brew wine that can be delivered; and their inventory may not be as large as 10,000+ jars."

"Your Majesty wants to encourage me with a half-level promotion and ask me to facilitate this wine deal. This attraction is far from enough. The benefits obtained are far less than the difficulty of execution."

Song Chengzhang suddenly sat up straight and looked at her sharply: "What if, in addition to this half-level, I give you another great benefit?"
