After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"Master Zhao, isn't it a bad idea to poach people so openly?"

The speaker was the Minister of Revenue, Lord Wang.

After the Wang family paid a huge price, they successfully removed Lord Wang from the case.

But both sides know that this is temporary.

The emperor will not be able to calm down for a while, so Lord Wang must be cautious during this period. If he is caught with any minor faults, it may become a reason for demotion.

"What's the matter, Lord Wang, have you finished your work at the Ministry of Revenue?" Minister Zhao was not polite either.

What he meant was, you can't even protect yourself, and you still want to meddle in other people's business?

Minister Wang ignored him, staring at Fang Tong with a forced smile: "I think Lord Fang is very good at making money, why don't you come to my Ministry of Revenue?"

Fang Tong felt bad for him when he saw him pretending to be so hypocritical.

Wang was in great misfortune, although it was all her own fault.

But if his daughter had not saved the prince, Wang's two maids' plan would have succeeded, and Wang would not have been implicated.

Therefore, it is understandable that Minister Wang is unfriendly to him. Isn't it disgusting that he has to pretend to admire him?

He lowered his head and said modestly, "I am not a graduate of the imperial examination system, so I am not good at mathematics. Moreover, my orders are entirely subject to my superiors."

What he means is that he can't make the decision. Why don't you go talk to the officials in the Sinong Temple.

Minister Zhao smiled and suddenly put his arm around Minister Wang's shoulders.

"Master Wang, please don't embarrass Master Fang. I have something to discuss with you. Let's go have a drink."

Lord Wang was angry and tried to break free from Minister Zhao.

He is an official appointed by the imperial court, but he is touching people. What's wrong with that?

After all, he was born a military man and doesn't know etiquette.

Just like that, Minister Wang was taken away by Minister Zhao.

Fang Tong got on the carriage, still thinking that he had become a big star today.

A mere ninth-rank official has a say over both ministers. I wonder if this will arouse jealousy.

My daughter once said that if you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person.

Hey hey hey.

Fang Tongle went home happily and boasted about it at the dinner table.

Fang Nanzhi was very considerate.

"Wow, Dad, the emperor has good taste."

"Dad, both ministers are trying to win you over. Your talent can no longer be hidden."

"Dad, I knew this day would come. From now on, you will be able to hold your head high in Sinong Temple."

Because of Fang Tong's coaxing, his smile never falters. He actually kept some secret money for a long time, and gave half of it to his daughter so that she could buy some delicious food.

Fang Nanzhi accepted it without any hesitation.

She didn't forget to give her brother a smug look, and Qin Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But inexplicably, he also had some thoughts of competing for favor.

He poured two glasses of wine himself.

"Dad, this is a toast from your son."

"There are two men I admire most in my life. One is my biological father, who held up half the sky for me when I was young. The other is you. When I fell into the abyss, you pulled me out."

"From now on, I will rely on my father for my status. Even if my father gets promoted, he still has to protect me from the wind and rain."

This touched Fang Tong.

He can have the same status as Qin Xiucai.

What’s more important is the sentence “Your status depends on your father”. Isn’t this what he works so hard for?

He was so excited that his eyes turned red. Not only did he drop two drops of cat urine, but he also gave away his partner's private money.

Qian Fengping couldn't help laughing when she saw the two children coaxing her man.

Fang Yin was a little jealous.

Want to have a child.

He is already a general. Who can he brag to if he doesn’t have children?

The Fang family’s joy was not in vain, as Fang Tong was promoted the next day.

A walking agricultural minister of the eighth rank.

The rank was raised, but the official position did not change. I don’t know why, but the emperor was very attached to this official position.

It is obvious that Fang Tong is now based in the capital, so the word "travel" is no longer necessary.

Promotion was not the most important thing. The key was that at the morning court, the emperor announced that the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War would jointly provide personnel to establish the Wool Bureau, and Fang Tong of the Ministry of Agriculture would also serve as the supervisor of the Wool Bureau.

The Wool Company is not only responsible for collecting wool, making cashmere garments and sweaters, but also selling sweaters, scarves and other items.

The position of inspector is neither big nor small. One does not have to do tedious work, but can participate in everything and point out problems.

It is particularly suitable for Fang Tong, since he likes this position very much anyway.

Eunuch Fu went to the Sinong Temple to issue the decree, but there was no way Fang Tong was not qualified to attend the morning court.

All the officials in the Ministry of Agriculture had to receive the imperial edict, and it goes without saying how envious they all looked.

Eunuch Fu specifically suggested some square copper.

"Master Fang, do you know why His Majesty has asked you to be this inspector?"

Fang Tong shook his head, looking as if he was listening attentively.

Eunuch Fu said with a smile, "The Director of the Wool Department is a sixth-rank official, while the Supervisor is only an eighth-rank official. If Lord Fang discovers any problems, what should be done?"

In terms of official rank, Fang Tong of the eighth rank is not qualified to have a conversation with Si Zheng of the sixth rank.

But in terms of official position, the Supervisor has considerable power and can supervise and inspect the entire Wool Bureau.

Fang Tong understood immediately: "I am your Majesty's subject, and I should share your Majesty's worries."

This is directly clinging to the emperor's thigh.

Eunuch Fu was satisfied. As His Majesty had expected, Lord Fang was very smart.

He didn't mind being more thorough.

"Your Majesty believes that the operation of the Wool Bureau can at least cover the expenses of the Ministry of War on cotton clothing. Any surplus can be used to exchange for farm tools or other things for the Ministry of Agriculture."

Fang Tong understood.

The emperor is keeping an eye on this money. His supervision is mainly to monitor the funds and not let the corrupt officials gain any benefit from it.

"I will definitely fulfill my duties."

Eunuch Fu nodded and was about to return to the palace. Fang Nanzhi quickly took out her purse.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Eunuch Fu, to come and have some tea with you."

Eunuch Fu was a man of great character. He could feel the weight of the purse as soon as he touched it, so he didn't refuse.

"Then I would like to thank Master Fang for his kindness."

After seeing off Eunuch Fu, Fang Tong carefully put away the imperial edict.

Hehe, I got another one. I will put it in the ancestral hall so that future generations can see how powerful our ancestors were.

If they don't achieve anything in the future, they should think more about their own problems and stop saying that their ancestors didn't bless them.

Thinking about all sorts of things, Fang Tong turned his head and saw many of his colleagues staring at him with strange eyes.

"Master Fang is young and promising. He was promoted less than a year after arriving in Beijing."

"In my opinion, Lord Fang deserves this title. He must have put a lot of thought into it to come up with this cashmere garment."

"Master Fang's promotion is a happy occasion. Should we go to Chunxiaolou to treat him to a drink today?"

Chunxiaolou is a brothel, and it is not cheap to treat yourself to a drink there.

"Alas, Master Zhuang, be careful with your words. Don't forget that Master Fang has a wife who is a tiger..."

Another adult joked.

Fang Tong's expression suddenly became unhappy.

"You all have misunderstood. My wife is virtuous and generous. As for me, my monthly salary is barely enough to live on. The tuition for our two children and their daily expenses are all paid for by my virtuous wife. I really can't afford to treat you to a meal at Chunxiao Restaurant. If you don't mind, we can go to Mingyue Restaurant for a meal together."

Fang Tong didn't like people saying bad things about Qian Fengping, such as "tiger mom" or "jealous woman".

His wife is gentle and considerate, virtuous and generous, and Yangyang is good in every way, so how could she be called a tigress?
