Chapter 558: Meeting Bao Zheng Again
After Lu Yijian left the court, the court was extremely quiet within a few days. The position of the Minister of Justice of the Tong Pingzhang was vacant. Zhao Zhen and Empress Dowager Liu both turned a blind eye, pretending to be unseen, and did not mention the candidates for filling in the vacancy. The officials looked at the person but no one dared to mention this matter.
The most anxious person was Ding Wei. He thought that after Lu Yijian left, he would have the qualifications, prestige and talent in the court. This position was his. Unexpectedly, the two heads kept hanging him, and this piece of meat could not be eaten by his mouth.
The official gave the four big words Lu Yijian in the court: worrying about the country and forgetting one's body. It can be regarded as a compliment for his service to the three generations of the Zhao family in his life.
After Ding Wei's reign, he always asked Liang Chuan to come to his study. Some people talked about some national policies. Liang Chuan dared not speak nonsense, but since he wanted to talk about Liang Chuan, he had to accompany him. Liang Chuan vaguely heard his impatient attitude towards the position of the righteous prime minister.
It seems that it is only one step away, but I don’t know how many people fall on this step!
However, the dead eunuch Lei Yungong was tired of coming to Ding Mansion, and the items in large boxes of small boxes were constantly being moved to Ding Mansion.
Liang Chuan couldn't help but open the boxes and looked at them. He almost fainted. The big box of small boxes turned out to be all gold.
After the reconstruction project of the Eight Halls was launched, all funds were in place one after another.
The other thing in the Song Dynasty was that it had a lot of money and was not short of money for anything. Once the 500,000 guan was in place, Lei Yungong first cut off 250,000 guan for some time for some reason, and then the remaining half was purchased for the contractors.
He left half of the 250,000 yuan, and the rest of the officials were replaced. A repair conference turned into a carnival feast for these corrupt officials. The Ministry of Works was not alone. From Liu Yongfang to the chief officials below, everyone was eager to share the money and celebrate the New Year.
The contractor Xu Yin and Wang Lin got the remaining 250,000 guan. In addition to the necessary materials and the hard-earned money of the craftsmen, he could earn another 100,000 guan.
This major project is calculated in tens of millions of yuan.
These 500,000 chunks are just the first budget, and they are used to burn bricks!
If the Khitans knew that they had given their annual monies of only 300,000 guan a year, they would not know what they would think. The bricks alone would be worth more than 500,000 guan. It was the first fund. If they moved the bricks on the construction site of Bianhe Street to them, they would have to find money!
Although Liang Chuan, who is also a civil servant, was only a small policeman and never had such a large amount of money, he knew one thing: don’t stretch out your hand, you will be arrested if you stretch out your hand.
He watched the big money like flowing water flow into the Ding Mansion, without any jealousy at all. Instead, he thought that he would be afraid that all the money he received today would be vomited out one day.
This is naked embezzlement!
Although Liang Chuan hasn't tried it, he has a clear idea in his heart!
What a smart person are the Zhao Guan family and Empress Dowager Liu. They took their money to fill their pockets. If they live in a day, the matter will be lost if they find out!
Yuchi Tian and Qin Jing entered the Ding Mansion. It was very common for Liang Chuan to accept two new servants as managers. Moreover, the identities of the two new servants are not low. Like Nian Cheng, they are both second-class servants with the right to go out.
Two servants and Liang Chuan, three of them stood in Ding Mansion, like a flesh wall. The three of them were strong and strong men. Yuchi Tian also had flower arms tattooed on his body, and a big red peony grew from his back to his arms.
Although it is a delicate flower, it looks like an evil ghost in hell.
The three people are all in one place, and the other servants sleep in the same room by themselves, while Liang Chuan and the two sworn brothers sleep together in the wing room, regardless of each other.
Even Nian Cheng and Liang Chuan did not treat him so well. Nian Cheng was wondering whether he was going to lose favor. Liang Chuan just said, these two are his sworn brothers! Nian Cheng never talked too much again.
The three of them were eating together in the room. Niancheng entered the room and was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene where the three of them were indifferent to their superiority.
Yuchi shouted: "What's the matter?"
Nian Cheng was so scared that he trembled: "There are people outside looking for a big manager. The person looks like a piece of black charcoal. If you want to put it at night, you think it's a ghost, but you can't even find it in the chimney!"
Black charcoal!
There is only one person who can make people say this, a very famous person. Liang Chuan quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks and went out of Ding's mansion to find black charcoal.
Bao Hei Tan was wearing a white shirt, which made his black face stand out even more. He was walking back and forth on the street with his head down, and everyone passing by was filled with strange and joking eyes, pointing and laughing at him, making Bao Hei Tan lower his head even lower.
Liang Chuan laughed loudly and jumped out of the door, hugged Bao Hei Tan and said, "What wind has blown you to me today?"
Bao Heitan knew that he was teasing him, but he was not angry. Instead, he said shyly: "Brother Liang, you can't talk nonsense. I haven't had any fame and reputation yet. This is what I heard from others and I can't sue me."
Liang Chuan glanced at him with his head slanted and said, "I tell you, it's time to go to your fame and fortune. You must have confidence in yourself. No one will lie to you, right?"
The two chatted blankly at the gate of Ding Mansion, one tall and one short, one black and one white, forming a sharp contrast.
"To be honest, I just don't have confidence in this spring exam, so I came to ask you!"
Bao Heitan blushed, but his black face perfectly covered his red little face, and he still looked so serious.
Liang Chuan stared at him suspiciously for a long time, and it turned out that this kid had made some progress in Kaifeng Mansion for a few days. Now he lies and his face is not blushing or his heart is not beating.
"I am not the examiner and cannot decide your future, and I don't know the test questions. What's the use of asking me?"
Bao Heican said, "Hehe, how dare I spy on the test questions? I just heard that there is a fortune teller under the overpass of Tuqiao. Nine out of ten hexagrams are accurate. I want to try it, but I am afraid I will be cheated. You know, I don’t have much money now, and I have to help copy and earn some money in Kaifeng Mansion. If I get cheated again, not only will the money be gone, but in the future... I will pass the exam, but I am afraid that this reputation will not sound good."
This black charcoal head is endless, and Liang Chuan resisted his laughter.
"You are actually not aware of the harmlessness of people and animals. These scammers in the world can't escape your eyes. I have a lot of reading but I don't have enough experience. Look at you now, you can even enter and exit Ding Wei's mansion. The sly person who is cheated by you is fooled. Even such a smart person can't cheat you. I have to rely on your eyes."
Bao Heitan said this, whether it was flattering Liang Chuan or scolding him, but his courage to scold Ding Wei at the door of Ding Wei's house shows that his right and wrong values have not gone wrong, so Liang Chuan was relieved.
"Let's go and see how accurate it is. By the way, I'll let him test it and see how much money I can make in my life."
Liang Chuan changed into casual clothes, and now he was too arrogant to wear Ding's clothes on the street. In order to reduce the trouble, he still wore his own clothes and asked Qin Jing and Yuchi Tian to go out together.
Bao Heitan said on the road: "Originally, these fortune tellers placed their stalls outside Donghuamen, where they could only pass the imperial examination, so they could borrow a good start. However, since you dug out a road, Donghuamen has also been demolished. These men did not set up stalls at Donghuamen, but they changed to Shangtuqiao."
Liang Chuan asked, "How do you know that I opened the way I opened this door?"
Bao Heican said: "Now everyone in the city knows that you are Ding Wei's aide. Those ideas are all made by you behind the scenes for the tiger. You don't know how popular the three poems you wrote on Mr. Lu's mansion are now..."
Why did I talk about this topic again? Now everyone is talking about how great my writing is. If Liang Chuan can say that, he will almost have hallucinations. I don’t know how much he weighs me? If these birds are all given a fight, they will be the sows, and they can’t beat a thousand pounds.
Liang Chuan said: "Stop, is this matter still over?"
Liang Chuan thought to himself, it’s over, if he tied a boat with Ding Wei to the future, will he settle it together with him when Ding Wei falls?
What I fear most in the political arena is labeling. Once this kind of label is posted, it will be useless if you make a quibble.
If others consider you to be Ding Wei, you are the one who dares to deny it and you will say that you are the seller and seek honor.
Bao Hei Tan couldn't stop fighting, and he continued, "I know you are not such a person, otherwise why would you fall in love with a nerd like me? I just want to say that Ding Wei is not a good official. In the past, the world was not peaceful and life was difficult because he had many bad ideas. Why didn't you persuade him if you could be by his side, but instead gave him bad ideas?"
Liang Chuan said, "Who is Ding Wei? You have never heard of him? You follow his status and status and treat you as a treasure. If you go against his will, it would be strange if you don't get rid of you. I am living a life of silence, you are still young and you don't understand!"
Bao Hei Tan was solemn and respectful. It turned out that there were people who could say that being miserable was so fresh and refined, without any shame.
The group did not call a carriage, and let Qiufeng caress his face and enjoy the prosperity of Bianjing.
This dream of Bianjing was the pinnacle of the feudal dynasty, and the customs and customs were the most adorable, so Liang Chuan could not see enough.
Soon after, we arrived at Shangtu Bridge again. The new river channel had been dug, but the dam between the canals had not been opened yet. The migrant workers were sweating profusely on the construction site, and tens of thousands of people worked together, and the imperial guards were waiting for it.
Dig out the river soil like a mountain, use a mold to press it into bricks, dry it for a few days, and then go to the kiln to burn it after the moisture is removed.
The blue bricks beside the river are like the Great Wall!
You should know that many of the Qin dynasty's uprising troops only held hoes and didn't even have a knife, and they overthrew Qin's tyranny and politics.
Behind these migrant workers is the residence of the emperor of the official family. If there is any chaos, Xia Shouen's head will be the first to be put into the ground.
"Who do you think is more accurate if you have so many fortune tellers?"
Liang Chuan looked around and saw that the Shangtu Bridge and Bianhe Street were empty before, and tourists were just in groups of three or three. Now there were flags on the edge of the Bianhe River, with the words "calculating" and "calculating" characters and Taoist masters who were shaking their heads. When they looked carefully, there were monks who were also here to join in the fun.
