Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 294

Wang Shouren observed the potion, "I didn't expect this Tang Bohu to make such a potion. What else can he not know?"

The little official on the side went on to say: "Actually, this potion is very easy to make. Many local people know how to make it. They are self-sufficient. Although the grain harvest is somewhat insufficient, it is not to the point of causing disaster. Moreover, locusts eating locusts have also appeared in the local area." The phenomenon that we have prepared in advance, should we still allocate the food and grass that we have prepared in advance?"

"Call it out." Wang Shouren still said, "Can locusts be eaten?"

"It can be eaten." The little official said, "Although I have never eaten it, I heard from them that this worm tastes very good."

"Bring me some here." Wang Shouren smiled, "I want to taste how this bug tastes too."

"There is one more thing." The little official continued: "Because of the Chizhou incident, many officials of the Chizhou generation were involved. The seven magistrates and eighteen county magistrates in the area were all taken away by Dongchang on charges of being private. , although it is a small place, it cannot be leaderless..."

"Stop talking." Wang Shouren interrupted him, "The appointment of local officials is not within the scope of our household department's responsibility, and we cannot interfere. This is a matter for the official department, so let them have a headache."

"The lower official understands." The little official stood up and said.

Half an hour later, a pot of stir-fried locusts was placed on Wang Shouren's bed. After tasting a few times, Wang Shouren was really surprised by the taste of the locusts, which tasted very good.

Standing up, Wang Shouren continued, "I haven't seen Tang Bohu for a long time."

Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was eating noodles with Li Dongyang. Ma Wensheng said, "After eating for so many years, this bowl of noodles is still the most comfortable."

"I think so too." Li Dongyang ate a bowl of noodles and even drank the soup. "Liu Jin has arrested a large number of officials. There is a huge vacancy. If you don't want to find a way, you can still eat noodles and drink here." soup."

Putting down his chopsticks, Ma Wensheng finished eating the noodles, "You and I have lived most of our lives. We have been wandering in the officialdom for most of our lives. Don't you know how to live? Of course this vacant old man wants to I want to fill it in, but after drawing up the official supplementary list, the old man regretted it."

"How?" Li Dong asked.

"Actually, the old man overheard something." Ma Wensheng said again: "Liu Jin made several million taels in this case.
We all know that he wants to poach corrupt officials under this guise, but in fact he is just a eunuch to make money for himself. "

"Jiao Fang is working under Liu Jin." Li Dongyang looked worried, "Liu Jin has no brains, but Jiao Fang has brains. He wants to sit on the mountain of gold and silver with a jade seal in one hand and a butcher knife in the other to command the country."

"Hehehe..." Hearing Li Dongyang's words, Ma Wensheng laughed and trembled all over, "Your words are with me, but this Liu Jin is an eunuch."

"Hehehe." Li Dongyang also laughed, "You're right! This Liu Jin is an eunuch. It's a big joke for an eunuch to have such glory and wealth. He, Liu Jin, can still have descendants? It's a dream of spring and autumn! "

"However, the chaotic hall in this Spring and Autumn Dream will be full of smoke." Ma Wensheng put the bowl aside and continued: "Such a big official vacancy is a big piece of cake for a person like Liu Jin, and he will not let it go. Take this opportunity to enrich your pockets and spread your wings."

Ma Wensheng went on to say: "I have drawn up the list of new officials a long time ago, but I know that this list will definitely not appear in front of His Majesty, and Liu Jin will definitely intervene. Now Your Majesty ignores the government affairs. As long as the affairs of the court come In front of Liu Jin, Liu Jin takes care of everything."

"He wants to do it for him." Li Dongyang sighed.

The dry autumn is very annoying...

"Actually, there is one person who can speak before His Majesty right now." Ma Wensheng said again: "And you also understand, Mr. Ge, that this person has a good relationship with you. The two of you got very close a few years ago."

Li Dongyang fell into hesitation and stopped talking.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said again: "Although Tang Bohu is not a gentleman, he opened an academy and built Tangzhuang! Now the people in Tangzhuang are richer than us officials, and their monthly salary is less than that of Tangzhuang. Depending on how much our salary is, sometimes the old man wants to resign and go to work in his so-called factory."

"Tang Bohu is a person who wants to benefit the people. Although sometimes he does things very unruly, but I believe he is a person who is willing to do things for the people." Ma Wensheng said: "Does Tang Bohu want to watch Liu Jin cause trouble to Daming?"

"Tang Bohu..." Li Dongyang sighed at this thought.

"I'm going to meet Tang Bohu." Ma Wensheng stood up and left.

Yang Tinghe was walking alone on the capital avenue when he met Li Ma Wensheng and said respectfully, "My lord."

"So it was you, Yang Tinghe." Ma Wensheng continued, "You are in a hurry to do something."

"I want to meet Tang Bohu." Yang Tinghe said.

Ma Wensheng nodded, "Coincidentally, the old man also wants to meet Tang Bohu."

"Let's go together." Yang Tinghe made an inviting gesture.

Wang Shouren was also walking on the main thoroughfare of the capital, when he saw Yang Tinghe and Ma Wensheng walking together, he said, "I've seen the two adults."

Yang Tinghe turned his head and saw Wang Shouren, and said with a strange face: "It turns out that it is the newly appointed Minister of the Household Department, Lord Wang."

Wang Shouren could see Yang Tinghe's hostile gaze, he lowered his head and didn't know what to say.

Seeing the eye contact between the two, Ma Wensheng patted Wang Shouren on the shoulder and said, "You are a nice young man, and you can be a good official."

"Master Ma has flattered you." Wang Shouren bowed and said.

As a junior, Wang Shouren knew his situation. Although his official position was more or less related to Tang Bohu at the cusp of the storm, he also looked at Li Dongyang who recommended him at the beginning, with no expression on his face.

"It turns out that all the adults are here!" Liu Daxia, the head of the military department, said loudly, holding a box of pastries: "I heard that His Majesty has also given Tang Bohu the right to cast Ming firearms, so I want to see Tang Bohu." What kind of tricks can a bastard boy come up with."

"It seems that everyone is on the way." Ma Wensheng said, "Let's go and meet this boy Tang Bohu, what kind of tricks can he make?"

"Let's go! Let's meet Tang Bohu together." The four walked towards Tangzhuang together.

The civil servants of Ming Dynasty can always come together in terms of common interests. They have their own strength of character and their own principles of life.
