The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Jiang Huaiqing didn't know why, but he still complied.

"Today I discovered something very strange. These dancers are not all Dahuan people." Since He Chengyu was not drunk, Jiang Huaiqing started to talk about business.

When He Chengyu was talking with those bosses, Jiang Huaiqing was not idle. He seemed to be wandering around out of curiosity, but in fact he was looking at the whole banquet more carefully.

"There are also banquet utensils, many of which are not Dahuan's, but are more similar to those used by Beimo people. I didn't find anything wrong with the businessmen who attended the banquet."

"We can't be anxious about this matter. They are still skeptical of us. It is impossible to directly reveal too many things that are wrong. Only when we pass their 'test' can we truly enter the inside." Some things must be done slowly Figure it out, don't worry.

There were two more women in the mansion, which seemed to be the same as before, except that Jiang Huaiqing had to lose his temper with He Chengyu because of some trivial things when those two were around.

Every time the two women tried to get close to He Chengyu, they were interrupted. After a few times, they vaguely sensed something, and stopped approaching them frequently.

He Chengyu would still go out to attend the banquets held by Boss Sun and others from time to time. Jiang Huaiqing didn't need to deal with these people, so he observed secretly. After returning, the two locked themselves in the room to check the clues they got.

Time flies by.

After receiving Shang Junlin's accurate reply, the Ministry of Industry began to prepare for the assessment, because this assessment was only to select those who entered the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites did not participate much.

"The specific process has been finalized for the time being. I will go to the palace to report to His Majesty. If there are no other changes, you can start preparing for the assessment." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry called the people of the Ministry of Industry together and talked about this matter. .

This is a big deal for the Ministry of Industry.

It is also a big deal for the people.

"Have you heard about the recent events? Such an assessment has never been heard before."

"You can enter the Ministry of Industry without taking the imperial examination, as long as you have a good skill, I want to give it a try."

"Isn't this news a long time ago, is it accurate this time?"

"It's all said in the People's Daily. It must be accurate, but the date has not been set yet. I just say that those who are interested should prepare first."

"Are you going to try it? People's Daily said that as long as you know a craft, you can go."

"I can only do carpentry, I don't know if I can do it."

For a while, there was a lot of discussion among the people about this assessment. The people's newspaper wrote very clearly that there was no rhythm, and the people accepted the assessment well.

Many people have already begun to think about which craft they can show off.

In the early court, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry talked about the assessment in the court hall, because this matter would not have any impact on the imperial power, and there were not many people who opposed it.

The time was fixed.

After going to court, several ministers caught up with Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

"Is Master Shang Shu busy with this matter all this time?"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry nodded: "Recently, I have been busy building roads and buildings, and there is really not enough manpower. If you can borrow anything from your subordinates, you can send it to the Ministry of Industry."

The person who caught up said in a sarcastic tone, "Everyone is busy recently."

"That's it," Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry lost his enthusiasm at a speed visible to the naked eye, "Forget it, I will talk to Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites about the assessment. They are more experienced."

Regardless of how many people persuaded him to stay, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry strode away.

He didn't lie, he had originally planned to go to the Minister of Rites to discuss the assessment, if he hadn't been stopped by these people, he might have caught up with the Minister of Rites by now.

Compared with the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites has much more experience in this area.

"If they know that His Majesty intends to set up a new force independent of the court, they will not be so easy to let go."

Shen Yu and Shang Junlin sat at the stone table under the big tree. There were snacks and tea on the table, all of which were in line with Shen Yu's taste.

"We will discuss this matter after the Ministry of Industry's assessment results come out." Shang Junlin took a sip of tea slowly. It is not a concept to implement only in the Ministry of Industry and throughout Dahuan, and there are more and more issues to consider. complex.

Shen Yu is aware of this, he believes that Shang Junlin can do these things well, and that there are so many officials in the imperial court, they are not paid for nothing.

"Your Majesty, I have a bookstore under my name, and I have developed a new printing method. If it can be implemented in Dahuan, it will be more convenient than the original method, and it will not be like the original method. The used up ones can only be printed by others." Obsolete, this method is called 'movable type printing'."

This is also the technology that Shen Qingran provided to the King of Yue in his previous life. Shen Yu remembered this when he was running a public newspaper in the court, but he had never been exposed to this thing in his previous life, so he could only extract the main points based on the content in his memory. He didn't tell Shang Junlin directly, but planned to make a result.

He handed over the method he had sorted out to his subordinate bookstore. Two days ago, news came from outside the palace that he had achieved the effect he wanted, so Shen Yu mentioned it in front of Shang Junlin.

"Is it the bookstore's research or the idea provided by Ayu?" Shang Junlin's question hit the nail on the head.

"What your Majesty thinks is what it is," Shen Yu neither admitted nor refuted, "I'm also quite curious about the effect of the result. Do you want to see, Your Majesty?"

"Let me call them into the palace," Shang Junlin paused for a while, then continued, "Or should we go out of the palace to see?"

"Does Your Majesty have time to go out of the palace?" Counting the days, they haven't been out of the palace for a long time. Shang Junlin has been very busy during this time, and Shen Yu didn't want to go out of the palace alone, so he stayed in the palace all the time.

"I'll see if I can come out for an afternoon."

He was a little interested in what Shen Yu said. The production of Minbao was entirely funded by the imperial court, and because an issue would be published every one or two days, it would consume a lot of material and financial resources. up.

"It would be even better if this method can prevent the Minister of the Ministry of Households from talking about the cost of Minbao every day."

"Is the national treasury short of money recently?" Shen Yu made a rough calculation, Minbao shouldn't spend money to the point where the Minister of the Ministry of Households complains every day.

"There is no shortage for the time being. There is a way that Ah Yu thought of before. Most of the disaster relief comes from the private sector. The loss of the national treasury is not great. It is just the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting. He will talk about everything that cannot make money." Speaking of the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, Shang Junlin was also a little helpless.

I don't know if it's the official position of Hubu Shangshu or something else. When Hubu Shangshu was not Hubu Shangshu, Shang Junlin never saw him like this...

dig.

"The nature of Minbao determines that it cannot be used for profit, but it is not impossible. Your Majesty can publish a newspaper that is different from Minbao at the same time. Like Yan Zheng's sponsorship of the Ministry of Industry, let interested businessmen give a sum of money. Sponsorship fee, and then set up a special section in the newspaper to introduce the products sold by these merchants." Shen Yu thought for a while and proposed.

"Ayu and Hubu Shangshu should have a lot in common, especially in terms of making money."

"Aren't I solving problems for His Majesty? If it wasn't for His Majesty, I wouldn't bother to think about it." Sullen tilted his head, his eyes sparkling with fragments of light.

Shang Junlin felt a burst of irony in his heart.

"I know Ah Yu's intentions, and I will never let you down."

The man's tone was solemn, gloomy and dazed. He didn't quite understand why Shang Junlin suddenly changed the topic, but he continued following Shang Junlin's words: "Your Majesty's golden words, there must be no day of repentance in the future, otherwise, I will be angry. of."

"How can I be willing." It's too late to love him.

"How's Subei going? When will Mr. Fang come back?" Shen Yu read the notebooks with Shang Junlin in the past few days, and saw many people talking about the ownership of another position in the cabinet.

Entering the cabinet is almost the dream of all civil servants. Behind it, it represents not only power, but also a kind of recognition. There is always an obsession in the hearts of literati. After all, who does not desire to do a great job and leave a name in history?

"I also hope that he can come back soon. For the vacated cabinet position, the courtiers are about to fight."

But it is far from easy to find the Beimo people who have been lurking in Subei for many years.

Based on the clues given by Yao Ji, Fang Jun sent people to conduct a rigorous search in the main city of Subei and the surrounding small towns, but still could not find the house that Yao Ji mentioned, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.

"Does your lord really think that woman's words are credible?" Someone in the study raised doubts.

It's not that they want to suspect something, but after so many days of searching, they really haven't found any clues. What if this matter was a lie from the beginning?

Then everything makes sense, why can't I find that house after searching the main city?Because there is no so-called house from the beginning to the end.

"Whether it's credible or not, this matter needs to be given enough attention. They have been lurking in Subei for so many years without being discovered by anyone, which is enough to show that they can integrate well into Subei, and we can't find them easily. It's normal." Fang Jun said lightly.

"My lord said that it was the lower officials who wanted to go wrong."

"Don't say that again in the future."

"Yes."

It's not like Fang Jun didn't doubt what Yao Ji said, but judging from the news brought back by the businessman Tuo Yin Longwei who came back from Beimo, what Yao Ji said is very credible.

They couldn't find any useful clues for the time being, and only hoped that He Chengyu and Jiang Huaiqing could find some clues.

Jiang Huaiqing felt very strange recently, especially every time he went to a banquet with He Chengyu, those people looked at him, although it was very subtle, but he could sense the meaning inside.

And in the mansion, the two women didn't come to their side recently.

He was sitting bored on one side, while He Chengyu was negotiating business with Boss Sun on the other side. If this business can be achieved, they will be considered as having truly penetrated into the business community of Subei.

"I didn't know what kind of relationship you were in before. Did the two people I sent you bother you?" After talking about the business, Boss Sun took the initiative to talk about the two dancers.

"I lost my temper a bit, but it's been dealt with." He Chengyu held up his wine glass, covering the smile on his lips.

"It's up to me to handle this matter. If it's inconvenient for you, you can directly bring it up. How about this? I'll take the initiative to give up [-]% of the profit for this cooperation, so I'll take it as an apology for what happened earlier." Boss Sun showed guilt.

"I didn't say anything, I don't blame Boss Sun."

The movements of He Chengyu and Jiang Huaiqing were also immediately transmitted to the palace through Yinlongwei.

"Their plan is going well, and it is estimated that they will find clues to the Beimo people earlier than Fang Jun." Shang Junlin put down the secret letter and said.

The gloomy focus couldn't help but fall on another matter: "Is Zhuangyuan Lang deliberately playing tricks?"
