Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 169 Plastic Sheeting

Chapter 169 Plastic Sheet

As soon as Zhang Yunji returned to the mansion from the new district, he was thoughtful.

His concubine accompanied him for dinner, seeing his appearance, he could only shake his head and leave him alone.

Ever since King Youzhou came to Youzhou, Zhang Yunji has always looked like he has been beaten to death.

But this is not bad.

At least everyone can see that Zhang Yunji's body is getting stronger day by day.

Not many people knew that Zhang Yunji was cured by Qin Yang.

Naturally, many people attributed Zhang Yunji's improvement to his spirit.

This is not difficult to understand!

After all, as a scholar-bureaucrat, it is not uncommon for him to die of depression.

Before that, Zhang Yunji had always been nested in the governor's mansion, and there were not many places where he could get involved in Youzhou.

The current him, besides the King of Youzhou, is him!
Although there is an extra boss on the top, it is much busier than before!
"Master, someone who claims to be your nephew is outside." The butler came in to report.

"Clan nephew?"

Zhang Yunji thought about it, there are quite a lot of nephews in his family, and he didn't know which one came.

He said, "Let him in."

"Yes."

After a while, a 26-year-old youth was brought in.

Zhang Yunji looked carefully, he really didn't know the person who came.

Moreover, this person is not good-looking, a little dark and thin, with a rough appearance that does not meet the aesthetics of most officials.

"you are?"

"Uncle Seven, my nephew is Zhang Ruolin." The young man saluted him and said.

Zhang Ruolin?
Oh, remembered.

This seems to be his cousin's youngest son?
"How did you get to Youzhou?"

His hometown is Beihai, Qingzhou, not too close to Youzhou.

Zhang Ruolin said, "Back to Uncle Qi, my nephew brought you something specially."

Zhang Yunji sighed: "Just let the caravan bring it. Now the trade route from Qingzhou to Youzhou is smooth, and there are caravans coming here every day. Why do you come by yourself?"

Zhang Ruolin was also a little embarrassed.

He said: "I heard from my father before that you wrote a letter back and said that Youzhou has changed a lot. My nephew also saw the report in the Datang Weekly News and was curious about it, so..."

I get it, it's true to give things away, but it's also true to take this opportunity to visit Youzhou.

Zhang Yunji asked, "Did you see the recruitment list before you came?"

"Yes." Zhang Ruolin replied.

"So, do you want to give it a try? I remember that you passed the scholar examination when you were 17?"

Zhang Ruolin said in shame, "Yes."

"When you were 17, you were able to pass the examination as a scholar. Although you failed to pass the exam a few times later, if you continue to take the entrance examination, you may not be able to get the gold list." Zhang Yunji shook his head, "At your age, it is better to continue to take the entrance examination. "

Zhang Ruolin said with a wry smile: "Nephew knows how much he weighs. Since he failed many exams in the past ten years, he has been studying at home, but he has never been able to study."

"My nephew just thought, instead of wasting time like this, it's better to find another way. Youzhou is now in the midst of employing people, and my nephew plans to start as a small official here."

"With you here, at least I can guarantee that my nephew will get a share of the work."

Zhang Ruolin's consideration can be said to be very sober and realistic.

He didn't ask Zhang Yunji for any convenience. In fact, as long as he was Zhang Yunji's nephew and had this status, he would be able to go smoothly in Youzhou.

Zhang Yunji had heard about this nephew, and he was not lucky in the exam, but he was indeed not without talent.

At least in Youzhou, people who can read and write, and can work hard can be used.

He nodded and said: "It's good if you can think so. If that's the case, you will live in the mansion. When you come back to the official examination and selection, go directly to the examination. I will ask the housekeeper to help you with the registration."

"Thank you Uncle Qi." Zhang Ruolin hurriedly bowed to thank him.

When Zhang Ruolin was brought down by the housekeeper, Zhang Yunji couldn't help but said to the concubine beside him: "It seems that Youzhou is very different now. In the past, even if there was a recruitment list, there would be no special attention. Came from Qingzhou to work."

Qingzhou is much more prosperous than Youzhou.

Youzhou, a place that many people think is no different from a distribution, is now attracting people. Isn't it an affirmation of the work in the past few months?
The concubine said with a smile: "The master is right, the city of Youzhou has changed a lot now."

“Hopefully the counties will follow suit.”

Thinking that in the past few months, most of the counties were obedient and obedient, so many good policies were not followed up, Zhang Yunji wished to kill all these mediocre people!
At this moment, he was able to understand very well that the king had the heads of four county magistrates chopped off.

These people really deserve to die!

Not to mention the four who died, even the others should die too!

If they hadn't held back like this, the whole Youzhou would have become rich along with the county!
Why is there such a disparity between the rich and the poor?
He went to those four counties with the king before, and when he went there, he found that some people's homes were almost broken!

They had to urgently open granaries, set up porridge shops, and give porridge on the street!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunji became furious.

His concubine had long been used to Zhang Yunji's mood swings, so she was busy persuading her again.

Zhang Yunji still couldn't sit still, and left the governor's mansion after eating in a hurry.

"Where's the king?" Zhang Yunji ran to the Youzhou palace again, but when he went, he learned that the king was not there.

He was received by an official, knowing that Zhang Yunji and the king were inseparable, so he told the truth.

"The king has gone to the workshop."

"Workshop? Which workshop?"

Recently, several workshops have been opened inside and outside the county, and they are all making something. Even if Zhang Yunji is concerned about this, it is not clear which one the king will go to.

The official replied: "Your Majesty must have gone to Workshop No. [-]."

Qin Yang likes to name workshops with No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-].

Zhang Yunji was already used to this, so when the name Xinyi appeared, he would directly accept it.

"Workshop No. [-]? Okay, thank you."

After leaving Youzhou Palace, Zhang Yunji asked the coachman to take him straight to No. [-] Workshop.

When we arrived at the place, as soon as we entered, we heard a burst of cheers from inside.

"It's done! It's done!"

What became?
Zhang Yunji hurriedly strode into the inner courtyard, only to see a group of people surrounded by a shiny object, all in high spirits.

The person he was looking for was squatting in front of the thing, stroking it with his hands.

"It's indeed done, you all will be rewarded! One person will receive ten taels of silver! This month's salary will be doubled!"

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Zhang Yunji and the others were all excited to receive the reward, so he walked over and squatted down at the same time, asking.

As a result, the king raised his head, his eyes sparkling.

"Master Zhang, this is a plastic sheet! This is a good thing!"

"Plastic sheet?"

Zhang Yunji saw that the king was stroking the thing with his hand, so he followed suit.

It feels cool, slippery, and soft, not like glass or cloth, what is it?
Not to mention, he has never seen such a transparent and soft thing!
"My lord, what is the use of this thing?"

Qin Yang said cheerfully: "This thing is very useful! Come here! Get all the plastic sheets today into the car!"
