Chapter 1043 Taking office
Married life feels very good to Hua Lan.

It was really not good to not have a roommate, but she didn't tell anyone, so she just kept going.

She could feel Wang Yan's sincerity in treating her, so even though it was nice and Wang Yan didn't agree, she could only obey. She even went to the medical clinic in the city to verify it, and it was indeed as Wang Yan said, it had some effect. And the amount of data is not just more than a thousand people as Wang Yan said, but tens of thousands of people.

The statistics are based on people who come to the medical center for medical treatment and ask about the birth status of the women in their families. The final statistics are summarized and are relatively accurate. So of course she had no objections and drank the medicine Wang Yan prepared for her very cooperatively.

Except for this one thing, it's all happiness and good.

Wang Yan's family really doesn't have that many rules. No one cares about how long he wants to sleep every day. The food is not bad, and even tastes much better than that of the Sheng family. Mainly because Wang Yan occasionally wanted to eat, so he ran to the kitchen to study various dishes, pastries, desserts, etc., but the Sheng family cooks had not had time to learn them.

Women all like to eat and drink sweet things. Although there was no shortage of sugar among the officials at this time, the processing and application of sugar were still inferior to the many tricks Wang Yan had come up with.

As for other expenses such as clothing, accessories, and makeup, Hua Lan is a wealthy woman, and her dowry brings her a lot. Besides, she herself is not short of money, so she can do whatever she wants. Wang Yan didn't care, and he couldn't control what to do with Hua Lan's dowry. Moreover, Wang Yan also handed over some of his family's business to Hua Lan for management. Such as the purchase and sale of grain, oil and various meats, as well as pawn shops, and the most profitable perfume shop.

As for the caravan and the bank, Wang Yan directly controlled them. This is his core industry, where the human and financial resources are. If it is handed over to Hua Lan, it will really be a business, which is obviously not possible.

As for the property that was handed over to Hualan, it still had to be settled at the bank, and it was still the same inside and out. Of course Hualan makes decisions, and if it affects the business, it affects the money earned. But Hua Lan is okay, he doesn't act arbitrarily, and he always talks to Wang Yan first if he has any ideas.

In fact, Hua Lan is not useless. She is a lady who has received serious professional training. Before she got married, she had an old woman to teach her about sexual intercourse. She was also asked to run the house for a period of time to gain experience, read the books, settle accounts, hire people, etc. Have some experience. I have learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, music, and dance since I was a child, and I have a certain level of proficiency. The female red embroidery is also not bad.

By analogy, it is roughly equivalent to a thousand years later. People have received all kinds of careful training since childhood, specifically preparing to become CEO, and they will definitely be able to do it.

Because most of the legitimate daughters of official families married into official families. Men from official families basically didn't care much about business matters, so the head wife of the housekeeper naturally took over this task and managed the inside and outside of the home.

Everything in business is small, especially the various shopkeepers under Wang Yan who have been managed by him. They are all honest and loyal. Even if there are dishonest and disloyal people, Wang Fuli can just go over and have a chat with them. Generally speaking, it is good for you and me and everyone is good.

But Hualan is very happy because of freedom. And she found that the business structure Wang Yan ran was different from theirs, which was very interesting.

Apart from these, she spent most of her time with Wang Yan, either eating and drinking, studying in the study, or going out for a walk and looking around.

Every now and then, I would go back to my parents' house for a meal, or follow Wang Yan out to attend some parties.

Now that he has an official status, the party activities Wang Yan attends are basically the best in Yangzhou. In the past, the gatherings Wang Yan attended were gatherings of future opinion representatives in Yangzhou. The party I am attending now is the representative of opinions in Yangzhou now. They are all big local families. They are not just ordinary business families, but they must have connections in their families. They are all the families of officials.

What's more, it was a gathering of Yangzhou local officials. The gathering he attended in Yangzhou completely overlapped with Sheng Hong's daily social circle in Yangzhou, and it didn't rely on Sheng Hong's face. Even if Sheng Hong is now involved in Yangzhou officialdom, he still relies on Wang Yan's face.

Hua Lan went to the party and played with other women's families in the back house. In this regard, Hualan did a good job. I heard that it has a good reputation among the wives in Yangzhou and has a good reputation.

Of course, attending various gatherings is a trivial matter, because he has to leave Yangzhou to work elsewhere and will be away for a long time. Unless he is dismissed from office in the middle, he will not return to Yangzhou. At most, he will just pass by. So what he did during this period was to adjust. Industrial layout, and most importantly, further screening of loyal manpower.

After all, it is not an open and aboveboard rebellion. It cannot happen unless things are secret and no one is involved. In such a situation, the first priority in employing people is loyalty, and the second priority is talent. It is precisely to constantly select reliable personnel, even if they are less capable, it does not matter.

He is not in a hurry, just develop slowly. After all, he had to become an official first, and then change the law, until the resistance was too great and the emperor could not withstand it. When the reform was difficult to achieve, that was when he established his heart for the world and his destiny for the people...

After a month of this, it was finally time to leave Yangzhou and take up the post in Hangzhou.

At the busy Yangzhou dock, the coolies who make a living here are carrying things to a large ship docked.

Sheng Hong sighed and said: "Zi Yan, I have already told you how to be an official. You are very wise, so I don't think I need to be nagging you any more. But I still want to persuade you that the reform will never happen." It is not an easy task, nor can it be done overnight. You know how Mr. Fan failed. You must think more carefully and be as thorough as possible when doing things."

Wang Yan was wearing a green shirt, with his hair standing up, and a green hairpin that he liked better. The wind at the dock was blowing his clothes, looking very cool.

He smiled and held his hands in his hands: "Father-in-law, please rest assured. My son-in-law has just entered the officialdom and knows nothing about it. The first thing to do is to stick to your duty. Doing your job well is the right thing. Even if you have the intention of reform, you must be in a high enough position." That’s it.”

"Then I'll be relieved." Sheng Hong stroked his mustache and nodded happily, "When I get to Hangzhou, I write letters from time to time, so that I won't be missed."

"My father-in-law doesn't tell me, but my son-in-law should also write to me for advice. There have been several gatherings of state officials in Yangzhou. My son-in-law is well aware of the difficulties involved and needs more advice from my father-in-law."

Even though he knew Wang Yan was supporting him, Sheng Hong was still very happy to hear it. No matter how rubbish the flattery is, it doesn’t matter who is saying it. Even for a person who says he doesn't like to hear flattery, it would be very satisfying for someone of the same rank to say something nice to him.

There is no doubt that in Sheng Hong's heart, Wang Yan is on the same level as him. After all, Wang Yan was born as a champion and started at the same level as him. In the eyes of outsiders, he, Sheng Hong, was just lucky enough to be able to pick up the top pick on the street.

Sheng Hong smiled and waved his hand: "I have nothing to say, my officials are not doing very well. To be diligent as an official, you have to do things. If you want to do things, you have to bear the consequences. Young people are always more courageous, I’ve been nagging an old guy a lot, and I’m always looking for stability, but it’s hard to achieve anything.”

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows, surprised by his father-in-law's clear self-recognition.

But he still held it in his hands and said: "My father-in-law is so humble. Even Ouyang Gong said that you did a good job as an official."

"No matter how good it is, can it be better than Ouyang Gong and Fan Gong? It's just a polite word, how can it be taken seriously."

After chatting for a few more words, Wang Yan turned to look at Changbai who was standing aside and said: "Changbai, I know your level, so you don't need to put too much burden on yourself. Besides, your age You are still young and have plenty of time. Whenever you are tired of studying, you can come to me. The academic atmosphere in Hangzhou is very good, and it is good to go there to study. It is better to study behind closed doors. "

"Yes, brother-in-law, I know." Changbai was still very polite, even though he must have a lot of complaints in his heart.

After all, Wang Yan is the number one scholar under the age of nineteen, and he has a lot of time now, bah... Although Chang Bai didn't say it, Wang Yan also saw resentment in his eyes, and couldn't help but laugh and pat him. Changbai's shoulder: "I know you have resentment, but everyone says that I am a genius given by heaven. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for you to compare with me?"

Changbai's eyes became even more resentful.

At this time, the Wang family and Ru Lan on the side also had a good conversation with Hualan, and Wang Fuli also stood on the side. Wang Yan finally took Hua Lan to solemnly say goodbye to the Sheng family, and said to Wang Fuli, "Look after the family." ' and got on the boat.

The boatmen on the boat rowed their oars while chanting, and the big boat gradually moved away from the shore.

At this time, Hua Lan, who had been waving beside the boat, finally couldn't help crying.

Wang Yan put his arm around her shoulders: "We can meet again in Beijing in three years at most. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are in good health, so don't worry too much. Just write more letters to keep in touch in the future."

"I know, I just can't help but want to cry." Hua Lan wiped her tears with a handkerchief and twitched her shoulders.

"I haven't left home for so many years, and now I haven't seen her for several years, and I feel empty."

"Ah."

Hua Lan said that Hao Guanren clearly expressed her thoughts.

Wang Yan smiled and said nothing more. Just hold Hualan in my arms until I can no longer see the shore of Yangzhou...

The straight-line distance between Yangzhou and Qiantang, the seat of Hangzhou, is only 600 miles. Wang Yan and his entourage followed the canal down the canal. There were some detours, but it was only 700 miles. It could basically be reached in a little more than a day.

However, the trip was not in a hurry, so for safety reasons we stopped in Suzhou. In the middle of the journey, he suddenly wanted to take a walk, so Wang Yan took Hua Lan to visit Suzhou City for three days before continuing south. Nothing happened along the way, and the water bandit that Wang Yan was looking forward to did not show up.

At this time, in Taihu Lake at the junction of Suzhou, Changzhou, and Huzhou, there were still gangs of half farmers and half bandits who made a living by robbing and selling fish. The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal connects the north and the south. They grab a vote here and ignore it when they return to Taihu Lake. It is difficult for the Navy to pay, and they may not be willing to pay.

The geographical boundaries of local officials are quite clear. In the border area, there is often pushback and bickering. There are benefits, and everyone wants to be on their own side. If there is no good, but trouble, then it must be from the other side. But regardless of whether it is beneficial or not, the taxes that should be paid must not be less. If you can't find someone to take the decision when something happens, it will be a long time, but there will be some trouble...

When we arrived at Qiantang Port, the sun was already setting. The port is still some distance from the city, and the city gate is about to be closed. It is impossible to enter the city today. So Hualan directly arranged for people to buy some vegetables and meat, spend another night on the boat, and go to the city early tomorrow morning.

"Brother Ziyan, I haven't seen you for two months. You are really in high spirits on happy occasions." At the port, Fan Chunren laughed and walked over, hugging Wang Yan very close.

"Brother Yaofu is still so energetic." Wang Yan patted his back, "He is a little thinner."

Speaking of being thin, Fan Chunren laughed: "It wasn't because of being an official. The officials knew the reason and reassigned me to Changge County. I wrote a letter to refuse. But my father disagreed and scolded me. It’s very unpleasant to see me every day.”

"Brother Yaofu, why are you laughing?"

"My father still has the energy to curse and is in good health. This is all thanks to you. When I see my father tomorrow, I must have a good time and see him."

Fan Chunren is really filial. Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "It's natural. I have admired and respected Mr. Fan for a long time. You have to take a look even if you don't tell me. Is this the second sister-in-law? Wang Yan has met the sister-in-law."

Wang Yan saluted the woman behind Fan Chunren who had an ordinary appearance and graceful temperament. She was Fan Chunren's legal wife, Mrs. Wang. This Wang family is not Wang Yan's king, let alone Wang Ruofu's king.

Speaking of which, she was a serious lady from a well-known family. Her great-uncle was Wang Dan, the prime minister of the Zhenzong Dynasty, and she was also worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple. And her father is Wang Zhi, who is Fan Zhongyan's best friend. At the time of Qingli, he was also a member of Fan Zhongyan's crony, and was kicked out of Beijing with Fan Zhongyan's failure. He died in the fifth year of Qingli, that is, four years ago.

"I've met uncle." Mrs. Wang bowed politely and smiled at Hua Lan without any words. "This is sister Hua Lan. She is very beautiful."

Hua Lan also saluted in a sensible manner: "I've met my uncle, I've met my sister."

Fan Chunren also smiled and returned the gift, explaining that he was unable to attend the wedding and other polite words, so everyone had met. He brought Wang here because Wang Yan brought Hua Lan to his appointment.

"Maybe my wife and I can live on the boat?"

"I spent a lot of money on the boat, so I can live in it. I have sent people to buy vegetables, wine and meat. Today, my two brothers need to have a good chat."

"Let's go on the boat and talk." Fan Chunren held Wang Yan's arm as if he was anxious, "I'll tell you the truth, Zi Yan, I have been hanging around with you for half a year in the capital, and you are quite picky. Come back. In these past two months, I have really tasted nothing.”

"My little brother has brought the chef over. Once everything is settled, he will send someone to come to the house to learn."

"Zi Yan, I want to talk to you. I wrote you a long time ago, but ended up spending three days in Suzhou on the way. But you told me to wait, and you will have to punish yourself with three cups of wine in a while."

"It is indeed my younger brother's fault. Unfortunately, I have never been to many places. I have heard the name of Suzhou for a long time, so I took my wife with me on the trip. Now that my brother has spoken, don't say that I will punish myself with three cups of wine. I can punish myself with one jar."

After talking and laughing like this, everyone returned to the boat. Because it was May, it was already warm. A table was set up outside, lights were placed in all directions, and the two started chatting.

Hualan and Wang were sitting on one side, listening to their conversation, and they also gathered together to chat quietly, slowly making friends.

If the men in the family have a good relationship, the relationship with the women must not be far away...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
