Traveling through books: Traveling through time with a golden finger to become a soft rice man

The new emperor had witnessed Yang Yuanzu's ability to make money. Those in the court who had never been to Shunxing County thought it was a remote area. Little did they know that the development there had far surpassed Changjing. The roads there had been replaced with cement roads, but they in Changjing were still using the old roads.

The reason was not for anything else but that the national treasury was too poor, and also because people had not seen the benefits of cement roads and were rejecting any changes in their hearts. Coupled with the obstruction of conservatives, road construction was even more difficult.

If Yang Yuanzu wanted to make money, he had to be given power, otherwise he would not be able to command his subordinates. The new emperor waved his hand and promoted him to a higher position.

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works have the same rank. Lord Shi was filled with emotion for a moment. Yang Yuanzu had only worked under him for less than two months.

Some people in the audience objected, thinking that Yang Yuanzu was too young and inexperienced.

The new emperor looked at the ministers who were not doing their job well and were furious when they opposed the first one. "You who oppose, you go up."

A minister stepped forward and recommended himself.

The new emperor continued mercilessly: "If you can't solve the problem of the empty treasury and can't make money, you can commit suicide to apologize!"

The minister who recommended him was so scared that he immediately knelt down and apologized, and then he strongly recommended Yang Yuanzu to the throne, and he would get angry with anyone who opposed him.

"I believe that no one in the court can take on this important task except Lord Yang!"

Yang Yuanzu:......

Yang Yuanzu didn't want to take the throne at all. Just as he stood up to refuse, the new emperor directly asked the chief eunuch to announce the resignation of the court.

After the court session, the ministers came forward to congratulate Yang Yuanzu on his promotion. Yang Yuanzu looked at the smiling faces and of course smiled back. They wanted to laugh at him, but how could that be possible? He immediately went back to ask his wife for help.

After Yang Yuanzu returned from his shift, he went to discuss with Lin Ting'an, and ended up seeing Zhang Jiangguan and Chen Yuncai in his home.

The year before Yang Yuanzu entered Changjing, Chen Yuncai escaped from her marriage and left home, going to the border alone to look for Zhangjiang Temple. At that time, this matter was quite rare and big in Fengping Village. It could be said that almost everyone knew about it, and the rumors even spread to the county town.

During that period, parents in the village kept a close eye on their boys and girls, fearing that their own children would follow suit in a fit of impulsiveness.

The house that Zhang Jiangguan bought in Changjingli is close to the Yang family and is also on You'an Street.

Today Zhang Jiangguan brought Chen Yuncai to the Yang family to visit Aunt Chen. He was about to go to the border, so he came to the Yang family to ask Aunt Chen to help take care of Chen Yuncai while he was away from home.

Chen Yuncai is pregnant. In the past, he could follow Zhang Jiangguan to the border without restraint, but the current situation does not allow it.

It's not just because of the children. The border disputes used to be just minor ones, but now the foreign countries are really starting to get serious.

Although Aunt Chen had a distant relationship with Chen Yuncai's relatives, she was still half of Chen Yuncai's family.

When Aunt Chen heard about this, she agreed immediately without any hesitation. She even enthusiastically suggested bringing Chen Yuncai into the Yang family. Aunt Chen was particularly confident in herself when it came to taking care of people.

Chen Yuncai felt a little embarrassed to move into the Yang family, and was about to refuse when Zhang Jiangguan agreed to it. Zhang Jiangguan happily thanked Aunt Chen.

His mother died early because no one took care of her, and Zhang Jiangguan didn't want this tragedy to happen to her husband.

The people invited by the family cannot take care of the baby as carefully as the family members themselves, not to mention that the Luo family is next door, so any situation can be dealt with immediately.

Zhang Jiangguan started to care about Yang Yuanzu's affairs only after he finalized Chen Yuncai's matter. Before Yang Yuanzu had the chance to tell Lin Ting'an about the matter, this question directly exposed the matter.

This promotion is a good thing, but there is a price to pay for sitting in this position.

Faced with his family's questions, Yang Yuanzu simply said that he had a way, and then he asked the new emperor for a few days off.

He asked for leave as soon as he took office, and everyone thought that Yang Yuanzu was afraid. People with bad intentions hid behind his back and laughed at Yang Yuanzu, while those who had a sense of right and wrong in their hearts regarded the matter itself as a joke.

Yang Yuanzu only asked for a few days' leave at first, but later he asked for a whole month's leave. When the emperor sent someone to urge him to go to court, he asked for a few more days' leave on the pretext that he was at home planning a fortune.

Finally, the new emperor couldn't stand it anymore and came to the door directly.

When Yang Yuanzu heard that the new emperor was coming, he was lying in a rocking chair drinking tea, and a servant was massaging his legs. He looked like he was spending his day in a relaxed and leisurely manner.

After receiving the advance notice from the servant, Yang Yuanzu quickly ordered people to put away all the things. He rolled up his sleeves and ran to the workshop to pretend to be busy. He also smeared a lot of soot on his face and clothes.

Suning looked at the dusty clothes and wondered if they could be washed clean.

The new emperor did not send anyone out to greet him, but directly asked the doorman to take him to find Yang Yuanzu. When he arrived, the Yang family was in a busy mood, and Yang Yuanzu was so busy that he even had sweat on his forehead.

The new emperor realized that he might have misunderstood Yang Yuanzu, and his anger disappeared without a trace. Yang Yuanzu also pretended to have just noticed the new emperor and hurried forward to greet him: "Oh, Your Majesty has come to my humble home. I am sorry for not welcoming you!"

Standing in the bedroom on the second floor and taking in everything, Chen Yuncai was stunned. He asked his cousin Fulin Ting'an, "Has my cousin always been like this?"

"You'll get used to it here."

Chen Yuncai hesitated for a while. Not only did his cousin behave differently from ordinary people, but his husband did too. So he asked, "Should we go down and kneel down to greet the emperor when he comes?"

Lin Ting'an pulled Chen Yuncai away from the window and said, "Okay, now we don't know the emperor is coming, ignorance is not a crime."

You exploit my husband and still want me to come and pay homage to you? Impossible!

Chen Yuncai: ...He was so afraid that he would be charged with disrespect!

Yang Yuanzu brought the emperor to the inner room to visit his work. When the white cloth was lifted, the new emperor felt as if he had seen a rare treasure and the bright future of the Da Ning Dynasty.

Recently, rumors of a national treasure falling from the sky have been circulating in Changjing City. Not only are the people spreading the rumor by word of mouth, but officials have also come forward to corroborate it.

All the lazy guys in the Hanlin Academy were recently arrested by Yang Yuanzu and forced to print flyers and distribute them all over Changjing City to spread the news of the royal auction to everyone.

Originally, the people were not very interested in the activities of the government. After all, according to past rules, these things had nothing to do with them. Their concern was nothing more than a waste of time to make a living.

However, I heard that there is no restriction on the number of people involved in this treasure-gathering activity, which means that people from every class, including scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, can participate.

The people were delighted when they heard this, as it meant that each of them could go and see the true appearance of the rumored Chinese treasure.
