Chapter 129 High Five for Oath
And in this bustle, Yang Hongyu stayed in the yard where she lived, listening to the laughter and the sound of firecrackers outside, but she was in a complicated mood.
She didn't know that others were happy for Yang Xu, why she was in a bad mood.
After thinking about it, I realized that I was afraid that Yang Xuguan would become bigger and bigger and further away from him.
She usually appears to be cold to Yang Xu and rarely communicates with Yang Xu, but she cares about Yang Xu very much.
If one day in the future, Yang Xu and her gradually drift away and become strangers, she felt that she would be sad for a long time.
Yang Xu didn't want to be an official, but was forced to be appointed by Emperor Qinglong. Fortunately, he was a idle official position and he didn't have to go to work as a duty officer, just stay at home.
Yang Xu didn't know what the messy game was for. From the literal meaning, he felt that it should be to create something messy.
What Yang Xu didn't expect was that the day after he was granted an official title, two men wearing light blue official robes came to the door, saying that they were deputy envoys of the Miscellaneous Bureau and came to meet Shangguan.
Only then did Yang Xu realize that there were only three people in the entire team of the Miscellaneous Bureau, including his ambassador, plus the two deputy envoys in front of him.
Both of the deputy envoys were both in their fifties. Looking at their half-white hair and thin figure, they knew that this miscellaneous scheme was indeed a clean yamen with no money to make.
Yang Xu asked the two deputy envoys and realized that his ninth-rank official actually had a salary.
Although the salary is a little small, if you pay frugality to ordinary people, you can barely support your family.
The Miscellaneous Bureau also has a small courtyard on the Ministry of Works, which is used for daily office work, but Yang Xu was too lazy to go there, so there were only two deputy envoys guarding there.
"I heard that Ambassador Yang invented something called cement?"
The two deputy envoys exchanged a few greetings with Yang Xu and mentioned this matter.
Yang Xu suddenly felt alert and asked, "How do you know?"
A deputy envoy said: "Eunuch Sun told us."
"Who is Eunuch Sun?"
Yang Xu asked.
Eunuch Sun is naturally Sun De.
Although Yang Xu met him and Emperor Qinglong at the Yang Family Restaurant once, he had no idea of the identities of the two.
"Eunuch Sun is in charge of the Jinyiwei, and is a celebrity around the emperor and the one the emperor trusts the most."
Another deputy envoy.
Yang Xu nodded, thinking that Eunuch Sun was probably an old eunuch, and the emperor usually trusted eunuchs very much.
But what does it mean when Eunuch Sun and his two deputy envoys mentioned the cement?
"What did Eunuch Sun tell you about this?"
Yang Xu couldn't help asking again.
"Eunuch Sun said that Ambassador Yang often has wonderful ideas and can create something incredible, so that we can learn more."
A deputy envoy said.
Another deputy envoy said: "Eunuch Sun also said that since Mr. Yang has been in the Miscellaneous Franchise Department as an official, what he has made in the future must be reported to the Ministry of Works and asked the officials of the Ministry of Works to judge. If the things are beneficial to the country and the people, they can be reported to the emperor and the emperor will order them to promote them."
Yang Xu almost said "Damn" and thought that the emperor had let him become an official in the court, and this was the idea that the emperor was fighting.
In this way, cement that I have just tested and has not yet officially put into production on a large scale must also be reported to the Ministry of Industry?
In this way, wouldn’t the cement that I finally developed has become the industry of the court, and how can I have my own share?
When Yang Xu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel angry. He thought that I had negotiated cooperation with King Qin and distributed the benefits of the cement business in the future. Now that the court intervened, everything was ruined.
"Cement was made before I joined the Miscellaneous Construction Bureau. It should not be subject to the court, right?"
Yang Xu asked.
He felt that Eunuch Sun must have explained something to the two deputy envoys.
One of the deputy envoys smiled and said, "Reply to Master Yang's words, Eunuch Sun specially ordered the name of cement. I believe he was concerned about this thing, so... he should understand the big things..."
"The court's hand really reached in... I don't want me to make money safely!"
Yang Xu was angry, but he was helpless.
"No, I have to talk to the King of Qin about this matter! See if he can come up with any good solutions!"
Yang Xu was just a ninth-rank official and didn't even have the chance to listen to the sky. He could only seek help from the King of Qin to see if there was room for improvement.
After seeing off two deputy envoys from the Miscellaneous Bureau, Yang Xu got on the carriage and hurriedly left the Yang family manor and headed to the Qin Prince's Mansion.
When he saw the King of Qin, he informed him of the matter, and then looked at the King of Qin and waited for him to make an idea.
The King of Qin thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Actually... this cannot be considered a bad thing!"
Yang Xu said: "It's not a bad thing? How can we make money after the court intervenes?"
King Qin said: "Actually, you can consider the problem from a different perspective. For example, through this matter, you have successfully won the attention of your father. If your cement is really beneficial to the country and the people, when your father knows it, he will be happy and will be promoted to you! And the greater your official position, no matter what you do in the future, it will be much more convenient!"
Yang Xu smiled bitterly and said, "But I really don't want to be an official! Especially as a high-ranking official! The bigger the official, the more troubles you have!"
The King of Qin smiled and said, "You guy, everyone else wants to be an official. You obviously have the chance, but you don't. What exactly are you thinking about in your head?"
Yang Xu said seriously: "What I think is that in the future, I can be a leisurely rich man, marry him with three wives and four concubines, and then have a bunch of children. Every day, I play mahjong with my wives and concubines, watch the sunset, and play with my children in their spare time in their study... Well, that's it!"
King Qin looked at Yang Xu and confirmed that he was serious, so he said seriously: "Then, you will help me with your heart. If I fulfill my wish in the future, I will definitely satisfy your wish!"
Yang Xu said: "Then...a swears to high-five?"
The King of Qin smiled in silence, then raised his right palm high.
"Bang!"
The two of them slapped them in the air, making a crisp sound.
"Try to be an official!"
The King of Qin said: "The bigger the official you are, the more helpful it will be to me! I believe that with your ability, you will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future; with your character, you will definitely be a good official!"
Yang Xu said: "You look down on me so much... Well, I'll just barely do this official. But the cement thing... really let the court intervene?"
The King of Qin said: "Don't worry... I'll go to the palace tomorrow to ask my father. See what he means. It would be great if he cooperated with the court in his private name."
"That's all."
