Zhu Houzhong shook his head and got rid of this idea.

no.

How could it be Zhu Cun?

Even Zhu Gouwa is stronger than Zhu Cun.

Zhu Gouwa: "..."

If you call me Zhu Gouwa again, I will get angry with you!

I have changed my name now, my name is Zhu Qi.

"Zhu Gouwa!"

Zhu Qi heard someone calling his original name. He looked up and found that it was Zhu Gouyuan. He was very angry: "My name is Zhu Qi. If you call me Zhu Gouwa again, believe it or not, I will beat you up?"

He waved his fist in a threatening manner.

Zhu Gouyuan rolled his eyes: "Don't you also call me by my nickname?"

"That's what you called first."

"Anyway, you shouted."

"Zhu Gouyuan, do you want to be beaten?"

"You dare? If you dare to hit me, I will tell my husband."

"Zhu Gouyuan, are you destined? Where have I offended you recently? Are you always targeting me?"

Zhu Gouyuan said: "Humph! You still have the nerve to say that I asked you to show me the last exam, but you were not happy. As a result, I failed the exam and was whipped by my father when I went back."

"You were whipped by your father, what does it have to do with me?" Zhu Qi was stunned.

"You have to show it to me. If I pass, won't I be whipped by my father?"

"Then if you study hard and review hard, can't you pass? It's because you don't study hard and have to go out to play..." Zhu Qi felt that he and Zhu Gouyuan had known each other for so many years, how could Zhu Gouyuan surpass him?

Are you becoming more and more unreasonable?

Why, seeing as they used to be brothers, now they start to "bully" him?

Zhu Qike is not afraid. Back then, he was also a "village bully".

"I'm not like you. I have good academic performance, so I'm not a good student. Since I'm not that good, why should I bother? I'm just a graduate... When I graduate from the elementary school, I will

I can enter the middle school and learn skills." Zhu Gouyuan's chest puffed up and he said, "My father said that he will let me enter the agriculture department in the future and learn how to farm. Then I can go home and farm."

Balabala, tell Zhu Qi that their family has purchased two acres of new land this year. When he graduates, there will definitely be plenty of land for him to plant.

When the time comes, if he works hard on the land, he might be able to buy slaves and maids like Mrs. Zhu's family and become a landlord.

Zhu Qi rolled his eyes again. He really wanted to remind Zhu Gouyuan that the landlord was not that easy to be.

Do you really think anyone can become a comprador slave?

The reason why the Zhu family was able to buy so many servants was because they had an official.

After being delayed by Zhu Gouyuan, Zhu Qi could not finish the test paper.

I have no choice but to take it home to make up for it.

When he returned home, Zhu Qi was told by his father that he must study hard and get good grades.

"Whether your father and I can have face depends on you. Even if you fail next year and fail the boy's exam, it's okay. You must get the quota for me this year. You are usually so upbeat, but at this critical moment, you can

Can't catch it."

"I know, Dad, I will try my best."

Although Zhu Qi was quite a bastard when he was a child, he was even visited by the Zhu family because he beat up Zhu Qi, but after entering the Zhu's Book School, he gradually grew up, became mature, and understood the importance of reading.

.

When he thought of Dabao, Erbao and the others, Zhu Qi's heart was filled with wits.

He felt that since he could become friends with Dabao and Erbao, he should be the same as them. Zhu Qi could be a good scholar but failed in the imperial examination and could be a scholar.

Although it didn't reach the point of hanging on the beam to stab the buttocks, Zhu Qi did show his special skills and tried his best.

When he was working hard, other senior classmates at Zhu's Book School who heard the news were also working hard.

No one wants to prove themselves.

Of course, people like Zhu Gouyuan, whose grades are relatively low and have basically no hope, just fail without bothering to bother.

So what are you trying to do?

No matter how hard you try, you can't pass the exam, so why bother?

If you have that time, you might as well...

Zhu Gouyuan's energy was not focused on studying, so he would follow his father in the fields all day long, or study agricultural notes borrowed from the village library.

Now that he has made up his mind to farm, Zhu Gooyuan also hopes that he can become famous in the future.

Everyone has their own direction and is working hard.

As for what the future holds?

The time has not come yet, everything is too early to say.

…

the other side.

Zhu San and his wife Xu Yujin packed their luggage and took their master Luo Qiushan and others to Beijing to take up their posts.

By the time they arrived in Beijing, autumn was already getting stronger.

The temporary residence belonged to a former high-ranking official. That official was from the Queen Mother Lou's faction. He was imprisoned that day and never came out.

After these mansions were vacated, they became the place where Emperor Qin arranged for new officials.

Zhu San was lucky enough to be assigned to a small courtyard with three entrances, which was relatively big compared to his official position.

Who told him that he is now Emperor Qin's "treasure"?

Of course, Zhu San was not clear about this.

Therefore, when the couple found that their mansion was larger than ordinary people, they felt a little uneasy.

The two of them quickly asked their master, Luo Qiushan, for advice.

"Mr. Luo, given my official position, is this house a little too big?" Zhu San frowned slightly and said with some worry, "Could it be that someone doesn't like me and is planning to wear small shoes for me?"

Master Luo Qiushan laughed when he heard this: "Hahahaha... Sir, you are... too careful. Don't worry, as far as I know, this house is indeed yours. As for... is there anything going on in this?

You still need to understand it yourself."

Zhu San: "..."

Understand it yourself?

Why didn't he know he was so capable?

Without having time to think too much, Zhu San started to take up his post and got to know his colleagues so that his future career would be easier.

In fact, Zhu San thought too much.

Because of the relatively big problems in the Ministry of Household Affairs, Emperor Qin completely eliminated them. Basically, there were no high-ranking officials left, only a few soldiers and generals.

After Zhu San took the post, there was also a part-time Master Cai above his head.

Mr. Cai was originally an official of Yushitai and had little power. The Lou faction did not bother to win over Mr. Cai, so he fell through the cracks.

Minister of the Ministry of Finance, if the minister is gone, there must be a leader, right?

Therefore, Mr. Cai, who was originally staying at the Yushitai, was transferred over and temporarily served as the left servant.

Yes, he is not a minister yet, he is just a minister.

He is only temporary, and his main errand is still at the Yushitai.

Therefore, when he met Zhu San, Mr. Cai was extremely polite and couldn't wait to throw a lot of mess in the household department over and let Zhu San take over.

As a person with no foundation at all, Zhu San, who had only been a county magistrate for a few years, was a little flustered: "... Mr. Cai... what... do you mean... Xiaguan has just taken office, Xiaguan..."

"Hey, don't say anything. I don't know if you ask me. I'm just a royal censor. It's okay if you ask me to follow the wind. But if you ask me..." Mr. Cai pointed to a pile of official affairs in front of him, "

I simply don’t have time for this. And His Majesty has also told me that I will only take one name so that there will be no one in the Ministry of Revenue. The specific work matters will be handed over directly to the officials of the Ministry of Revenue once they are in place."

Mr. Cai spread his hands and said that the person who is already in place and has relatively great authority is Zhu San, the doctor of the Ministry of Finance.

Therefore, everything fell into Zhu San's hands.

Zhu San: "..."

I have a dirty word, I don't know whether to say it or not.

Although I am very happy that Emperor Qin trusts me so much, but...

Emperor Qin had just won the imperial power, and the officials in the court were still in a mess. The Ministry of Household Affairs was related to major tax and financial matters across the country, but Emperor Qin didn't make any arrangements?!

Is Emperor Qin really sure that he, a local official with no foundation, can handle so many ministers in the court after taking office?
