Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 38 Bureau
  The next day, it was already dawn.

The dead trees are sprouting new leaves, green and green.

Su Xian squatted under the tree and dipped a willow branch in some coarse salt water to brush his teeth.

He wakes up late, waiting until it's time to brush his teeth.

Su Guiyuan had already finished eating and left the door.

"Today I will finalize things for my father. Xian'er, you are also planning to go to the Guozi School in the near future. You have to get up early in the future. Otherwise, if you go to the Guozi School, you will be beaten by your husband."

Su Guiyuan warned before going out.

Then, before the morning sun came out, he walked towards Miyagi.

Not long after, it was already Zhongshu Province.

Su Guiyuan adjusted his clothes and thought that on the way up in the morning, many people saw him and greeted him with a smile.

This has never happened in the past.

Suddenly, I felt more confident.

After the announcement, he waited. Today he would continue to meet with Prime Minister Hu.

Although my son warned me.

But this is the rule of Zhongshu Province, and Prime Minister Hu will always have to pass this test.

While thinking about it.

Suddenly, people arrived before they even made a sound.

"Brother Su! Hahaha, Brother Su is really diligent. I thought Brother Su would have to rest for a few days when he goes back."

Hearing the sound, he quickly stood up.

"The lower official pays homage to Zhang Sheren..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Guance directly held his hand, giving him a sense of intimacy.

"If Prime Minister Hu is free, I will come to see you..." Su Guiyuan thought of business.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Guance looked apologetic.

"Alas! What a coincidence. You don't know that Prime Minister Hu is busy dealing with a lot of messes after the empty seal case. The Ministry of Revenue, the Chief Envoys of various places, personnel selection, and official affairs in various places. This is too much. busy!"

Zhang Guance shook his head at first, then smiled bitterly and said: "It's not like you don't know that our other prime minister never cares about anything."

"In the past, people outside here said..." Zhang Guance cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, sincerely.

"It is when the pilgrim himself... puts the sun and moon of the Ming Dynasty on the shoulders of Hu Xiang!"

Su Guiyuan's heart trembled. He usually inspected the books in the Household Department, but in fact he was in charge of extremely detailed and complicated account books.

He didn't even have access to the middle and lower levels of the capital's officialdom. He only knew that Prime Minister Hu had great authority and was deeply trusted by His Majesty.

Today, there is another Prime Minister Wang who hardly cares about anything...

Now it seems that what he said was true!

He wanted to meet this Hu Xiang even more.

"If that's the case, then I'll come back tomorrow..."

Su Guiyuan firmly believed that as long as he was sincere, he would definitely be able to meet this Prime Minister Hu who worked hard for the Ming Dynasty and was deeply trusted by His Majesty.

By then, he will also have to learn from Prime Minister Hu to serve the country and the people, so that he can go a long way in the officialdom.

While thinking about it.

Su Guiyuan then resigned, "I have to go to the various bureaus and treasuries of the Baochao Collection Department to familiarize myself with official duties, so I won't bother you any more."

Zhang Guance stood up with a smile, "I'll see Brother Su off."

……

Until Su Guiyuan left.

Zhang Guance then returned to the front hall. After taking a look at where Su Guiyuan was sitting, he smiled softly.

Immediately came to the side hall.

"see that."

Inside, there was already a middle-aged man with a smile and a slight bow.

"If you want to meet the Prime Minister, why don't you go to the Prime Minister's private residence in advance to send a greeting card and come directly to the court to see him? The Prime Minister has many things to do every day. I don't know how many high-ranking officials above the third and fourth ranks are waiting to see him."

"He is an eighth-grade person. How can he see him whenever he wants?"

"Hmph! It's just like the rumors. At best, he's unreasonable and unsophisticated. At worst, he's just dull, pedantic and brainless."

The latter spoke slowly, his voice mixed with sarcasm.

Zhang Guance's expression remained unchanged, his face remained calm.

Strangely, he smiled broadly at Su Guiyuan.

When he really faces this person, he behaves businesslikely. "He still wants to do something. At least I heard that he once went to study for his son, so he visited everywhere, hoping to find some connections."

Another person smiled and said: "Hey, I heard that Su Guiyuan happened to meet Dr. Guo Hanwen yesterday. Su Guiyuan had begged him several times before, and now Guo Hanwen must have agreed." "Humph! There is no coincidence. After all, it is one step to reach the sky, one person How noble is a fifth-grade doctor who wants to befriend Su Guiyuan? Is he worthy?" Zhang Guance sneered.

"It's not like you want to get involved with Hu Xiang..." The bystanders laughed quickly.

The officials in front of the prime minister are not divided into grades.

Speaking of which, the talent pool in this middle school started from the seventh rank, and after being promoted, he became the sixth rank. Shouldn't he still be nodding and bowing in front of him?

"However, when you go to the household department, there is indeed no one in the treasure bank collection department."

"Speaking of which, the Ministry of Finance has cut off so many officials and left so many positions vacant. You are also capable and have been promoted smoothly."

Zhang Guance stared at the latter.

The latter quickly lowered his head, "Where is my ability? Isn't it because I rely on the Prime Minister?"

"If you can't accompany the Prime Minister and listen to the Prime Minister's teachings, how can this be a high promotion? This is a secret surrender!" A bystander quickly cried, "You have to tell the Prime Minister, I want to guard the Prime Minister day and night, but what can I do? ...But the household department is really short of people!"

"okay!"

Zhang Guance waved his hand, "Before you leave, send someone to hand over to Su Guiyuan. Next month, the Prime Minister has personally ordered that not a single note of the five million banknotes be printed..."

"Yes!" He nodded quickly.

"In addition..." Zhang Guance looked at him sideways, "Stay in the Ministry of Revenue for a year, and then go abroad for three or four years. When you come back, you will at least be the minister. In a few years, you will become a minister. Or even enter the Zhongshu Province as a prime minister. Fu, even the Prime Minister needs to rely on you."

"No..." The man was frightened and was about to speak.

But Zhang Guance waved his hand.

"You don't have to make such an expression on me. Outside, you are the prefect of Baochao Promotion. Because of the empty seal case, the position in the Ministry of Accounts was vacant, and the Holy Spirit personally hooked you up."

"It has nothing to do with the Prime Minister!"

After a pause, he added: "But... the path the Prime Minister gave you is also true."

Hear the words.

The man's eyes suddenly turned red and he seemed very moved.

"I, Guo Huan, swear that I will kill you for the sake of the Prime Minister!"

"If the Prime Minister says something in the future, even if I, Guo Huan, am cut to pieces with a thousand swords, a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire, even in the Palace of Hell, Guo will still be able to break through."

"Okay...go!"

Zhang Guance waved his hand, "The Prime Minister thinks highly of you, but if nothing happens these years, I will sever the relationship with Zhongshu Province."

Guo Huan looked solemn and nodded quickly: "Yes!"

"And Su Guiyuan..." Zhang Guance continued.

Guo Huan said quickly: "You can rest assured, I have heard clearly from my humble position. This Su Guiyuan has a soft ear and a dull personality. He can only nod and agree to whatever others say and has no autonomy."

"As long as you make the situation serious, you can scare the shit out of him."

"This type of person is the easiest to control!"

"Besides, to be honest, when I came to Zhongshu Province, I overheard the promotion officer saying that he had served in the Ministry of Household Affairs for a period of time and had some relationship with Su Guiyuan."

“I could handle it easily in the household department before, and I can still do it now!”

"When the time comes, Su Guiyuan goes forward. According to his honest temper, there are a thousand ways to get him to sign and seal. Anyway, in order to promote him, with his signature and seal, the two games and two treasuries below will be They are our people.”

"In the eighth year of Hongwu's reign, His Majesty established this treasure banknote promotion department, and the Prime Minister placed it in Zhongshu Province. It has been two years. If my subordinates have not taught them well, can they be safely used by the Prime Minister?"

Guo Huan said with a flattering smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Guance was even more relieved.

"That's good. Su Guiyuan should take office today. When the time comes, we can do it as soon as possible while he is not familiar with the process."

"Don't worry, as I said before, this kind of people are the easiest to control." Guo Huan continued to pat his chest and reassured.

"That person's name is Cui Jin, and all the procedures have been prepared."

"We are just waiting for the official seal that is being promoted. When the craftsmen of the Banknote Printing Bureau start to work, the money will come to the Prime Minister like rolling water..."

Guo Huan swung his body in time, like a snake.

Even Zhang Guance, who has always been serious, couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"The gushing is good, the gushing is good, but it's not for the Prime Minister."

"What does the Prime Minister want with this money? This is for the Holy Shangyong, the imperial court, and the common people!"

"Da Ming needs money!"

Zhang Guance was filled with emotions. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was the wind or the excitement.

He actually wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Xiang Hu is for the Ming Dynasty, for the Holy One, and for the people of this world..."

"It's also a matter of dedication."
