Chapter 36 Xu Jingyi's Promotion
Xu Jingyi spent more than ten days in the Ministry of Revenue, feeling as if in a dream and worried about everything.
Yesterday, the Minister of Revenue finally talked to him and said that he wanted to give him an important task.
Oh, the Minister is so polite that he even wants to stand up and pour him tea himself.
But Xu Jingyi was frightened to death. How could he dare to ask the Shangshu to get up and pour tea himself? He even wanted to kneel on the ground and hug the Shangshu's legs.
Xu Jingyi received a notice more than ten days ago that he was promoted to Langzhong of the Ministry of Revenue and took up his post at the Ministry of Revenue that same day.
Amidst the astonished looks of his colleagues, Xu Jingyi felt elated: "This is so unexpected, so surprising, so exciting! Oh, the Ministry of Revenue doctor!"
Colleagues... This Lord Xu is amazing! He really rose to fame overnight. The Langzhong of the Ministry of Revenue is a high-ranking official of the fifth rank, not to mention that he works in the Ministry of Revenue.
Colleagues hurriedly congratulated Xu Jingyi: "Congratulations, Doctor, on your promotion. Remember to support your old colleagues when you have the chance!"
"Doctor Xu, remember to come back and see us when you're not busy!"
"Oh, Master Xu is so proud of himself. Let's get together and have a drink sometime."
Xu Jingyi couldn't even remember how he returned home amid the congratulations of his colleagues.
After returning to the Xu Mansion and closing the door, Xu Jingyi stood at the door and burst into tears: It was so damn hard. He, Xu Jingyi, had endured so many years in the capital and finally made it.
Xu Jingyi cried for a while with snot and tears, and only then did he feel that the resentment in his heart had dissipated.
At this time, Zhao also hurried from the backyard to the front yard.
The maid ran to tell her that the master was standing at the front door crying sadly.
Zhao looked at Xu Jingyi with red eyes: This master is smiling happily, it’s okay!
"Master, what's wrong with you? You're crying and laughing at the same time. What happened?"
Xu Jingyi glanced at Zhao with a smug look on his face. "From now on, your husband will be Lord Xu, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue. Surprise! Isn't it exciting?"
Zhao covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Master, what did you say? Doctor of the Ministry of Revenue! You got a promotion?"
Xu Jingyi: "How can you say that? Promotion, that sounds so ugly. This is called high promotion, you know."
"Go, order me a table at the best restaurant in the capital. Doctor Xu, I want to celebrate properly."
Zhao was so happy that she nodded quickly: "Promotion! Promotion! Doctor, please wait, I will do it right away."
Zhao changed her usual stingy behavior, and with a smile on her face, she ordered her servants to order food for the banquet, and also gave all the servants in the mansion a monthly salary.
Servant of the Xu Mansion...Today's sun rose from the west.
Zhao.....this is a great joyous event. She will be the wife of a fifth-rank doctor in the future and doesn't care about this little money.
Xu Jingyi had a sweet dream that night, and early the next morning he ran to report to the Minister of Revenue, Lord Yu.
Lord Yu chatted briefly with Xu Jingyi for a while, then asked his colleagues to take Xu Jingyi to his office, where he sat alone and sulked.
The position of Langzhong in the Ministry of Revenue has been vacant for half a year. Lord Yu originally wanted to leave the vacancy to his own disciple, but he didn't expect Xu Jingyi to be parachuted in.
Lord Yu also knew that Xu Jingyi had hooked up with the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, but the Duke of Dingguo did not send anyone to greet him.
This made Master Yu very unhappy: "Let Xu Jingyi hang out for a few days first. If you dare to take advantage of me, I will take it out on Xu Jingyi."
When Xu Jingyi arrived at the new office, he saw that the office of the Ministry of Revenue doctor was really grand.
A single room facing the sun. It was much better than his old office, which had four people sharing a room. There was no privacy in that room, and he had to hold in his farts.
The desk was clean and tidy, with writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone on it.
Xu Jingyi picked them up casually and looked at them. They were all exquisite. As a scholar, he naturally recognized these things.
After a while, the servant brought Xu Jingyi two boxes of tea, teacups and a kettle.
He even mentioned these two boxes of tea to Xu Jingyi, saying that a few days ago, people from the southern state who came to do business brought them some new tea for their Ministry of Revenue to try, and it tasted delicious. The doctor gave them two boxes each, so that Xu Jingyi could try them when he had time.
After the servant put down his things and left, Xu Jingyi got up and made himself a pot of tea.
It smells so good! It’s definitely new tea, and it smells better than any other tea he’s ever had!
When he returned home from work in the evening, Xu Jingyi took Zhao's hand, closed the door and told her about his experience in the Ministry of Revenue that day.
Xu Jingyi didn't dare to tell anyone else, but he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he could only share it with Zhao. Zhao also liked to listen, she was very curious.
"Madam, look." Xu Jingyi said, and took out a small paper bag from his arms with a sly look.
"This is the new tea that the southern states sent to the Ministry of Revenue for a taste this year. It's so fragrant. I drank a pot of it this morning. I brought it back especially for you to try."
After saying that, Xu Jingyi pointed to the small bag of tea.
He really wanted to take a box home, but he didn't dare. So he carefully took it out of the tea box, twisted it, and brought it back to show Zhao.
"I heard it was a substandard product picked out from the tea tribute offered to the emperor. Who knows?"
"Try it now! This is the fine tea that only the emperor can drink!"
Zhao lowered her voice and widened her eyes: "Master, this Ministry of Revenue is really amazing. They can even get such good things!"
"Oh," Xu Jingyi said proudly while looking at his wife, "This tea is nothing. The real treasure is that teacup. It was specially brewed for the emperor. Only one or two can be picked out from hundreds of them to be presented as tribute to the emperor."
"The rest will be given as gifts to the leaders of the various departments. They said there were some flaws, but I spent the whole morning examining them and couldn't find any. The patterns on the teacups are so beautiful!"
He didn't dare to steal the teacup back to show off to Zhao.
"And more." Xu Jingyi said while pressing his chest.
"The Ministry of Revenue's money is so high and so low, it's frightening me to death. My heart has been pounding all day."
Zhao was so shocked that she covered her mouth and whispered, "What did you say! Master, a hundred million! Oh my God, that's a lot of silver! I can't even imagine it!"
After staying in the Ministry of Revenue for a few days in fear and shock, Xu Jingyi began to get anxious and angry again.
What does the Minister mean? Why doesn't he assign him a job?
He has been sitting on the bench for several days, and he is still thinking about accumulating his experience and serving the court. Why don't you give him a chance?
Now, amidst Xu Jingyi's anxiety, he finally had a conversation with the Shangshu. How could he dare to let Lord Yu pour water for him personally?
Lord Shangshu...what good things are you thinking about? I was just being polite to you, but you take it so seriously.
The Shangshu told Xu Jingyi that there was a sum of silver in the gold mine in the southern part of Da Zhou and the court needed to send someone to collect it.
Collecting money is secondary. The key is to send an important person to see what the gold mine is like now, how long it can be mined, and what the annual output is.
Lord Xu, you are that important person.
Also, this trip south is not only to see the gold mines, but also to do work in some important state capitals along the way.
Xu Jingyi...isn't this a perfect imperial envoy!
Xu Jingyi suppressed his ecstasy and accepted the job. He also patted his chest and gave a military order to the Shangshu, promising to live up to the Shangshu's expectations and the court's cultivation.
Lord Shangshu watched Xu Jingyi walk out of the room with a smile on his face. Lord Xu had caught the eye of the current emperor.
Today, the emperor told him that he had something to ask when he came to the palace. Before leaving, the emperor suddenly asked about Xu Jingyi's job.
He also asked him to arrange a business trip opportunity for Xu Jingyi to gain some training. It just so happened that the southern part of the country needed someone to go for inspection, and Lord Xu got this lucrative position.
There's no way around it, the emperor's will is unpredictable! Better be careful. Xu Jingyi is the Duke of Dingguo's man. Lord Yu naturally knows the relationship between the Duke of Dingguo and the emperor.
