Chapter 175: Shaofu Debriefing

After returning to the mansion in Chang'an City, Zhang Ran selected two of them from several male servants, and then selected two older ones from the only four maids, and sent them to Zhang Li to take care of their mother.

Then, she took her sister Sui'er to visit Chang'an City for a long time, and took her to look at the magnificent Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, Beigong, Guigong and other landmark buildings in Chang'an City from afar. She did not return home until the evening was approaching.

The next morning, with the help of his maid, Zhang Ran changed into a brand new official robe, a yellow ribbon, and a bronze seal. He left the mansion and took a car to Weiyang Palace and reported to Shaofu.

The Shaofu Office is located in the northwest of Weiyang Palace, and is bounded by an artificial ditch leading to Cangchi. To the east of the ditch are the greenhouse halls where the emperor and the queen live, the Jiaofang Hall and other palaces. To the west of the ditch are the Shiqu Pavilion, Tianlu Pavilion, Shaofu and many other government offices under the jurisdiction of many prefectures.

With the bamboo talisman given by the emperor in hand, Zhang Ran successfully passed through the palace gate of Weiyang Palace, and under the guidance of eunuchs in the palace, he came to the Shaofu Office.

Outside the Shaofu official office, Zhang Ran took out the bamboo talisman with the identity information, and handed the official seal to the eunuchs for reporting, and soon received Zhao Yu's permission and summons.

Zhang Ran reached out to sort out his clothes and calmed down. Then he followed the eunuch, strutting his head high and slowly walked towards the main hall of the Shaofu Office.

After entering the Shaofu office, Zhang Ran observed it for a brief moment and found that the Shaofu office was large in scale, the decoration in the hall was also gorgeous, and the various wooden utensils were exquisitely made, which was obvious that they were not something that ordinary people could use.

After walking a few more steps forward, Zhang Ran saw a middle-aged man wearing a black official robe and a magic crown lying on the desk and writing quickly, looking quite focused.

Zhang Ran took a deep breath, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Zhang Ran, the left prime minister of the forbidden garden, has seen Ming Gong!"

"Um?"

After hearing the sound, the man looked up slightly, looked at Zhang Ran in the hall, and bowed and replied, "No need to be polite, please get up!"

"Yi!" Zhang Ran straightened up, looked forward, and looked at the legendary cruel official in front of him.

Judging from the appearance, Zhao Yu, the young master of the young mansion, is about 40 or 50 years old. He is slightly thin, has a clear edge and a very majestic expression. Perhaps because of his long-term seriousness, he looks a little stern and is not a kind-hearted person.

As one of the nine ministers who are in charge of the financial power of the Shaofu, Zhao Yu himself has a very extraordinary demeanor. Just sitting there, he faintly revealed a faint power, which makes people feel awe.

When Zhang Ran looked at the other party, Zhao Yu's eyes swept towards Zhang Ran like a sharp sword. When Zhao Yu's eyes glanced past Zhang Ran's slightly tender face, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

After staring at Zhang Ran for nearly a minute, Zhao Yu slowly spoke: "I heard that Xiao Lang has a talented person who is good at making farmers' tools. He has offered the method of planting wheat on a wheel of wheat to the emperor for a few days. He was valued by the emperor and appointed the left chief of the forbidden garden to take charge of the wheat planting. Can this be true?"

After hearing Zhao Yu's inquiry, Zhang Ran bowed and replied, "How dare you be a virtuous person in front of Ming Gong? I am just a commoner in the countryside and working all day long. Therefore, I have some experience in farming. Last year, I accidentally obtained a number of new farm tools, which are conducive to farming, so I advocated that the people in the village plant and stay in wheat. Later, I was recommended by Mr. Dong, and presented them to the emperor. I was not abandoned by the emperor, so I appointed the left chief of the monarch. However, I was just a mere young man, and suddenly got heavy responsibilities. I was afraid of being afraid. I hope that the Ming Gong would give me more points..."

Seeing that Zhang Ran was so humble and polite, he did not suddenly become noble. After being valued by the emperor, he became arrogant. Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little favor, and his expression calmed down a little, "I just asked casually, Xiao Lang doesn't have to be restrained, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ming!" Zhang Ran bowed his hand to show his gratitude, then stepped to the right of Zhao Yu, found a cushion, and sat down safely.

Not long after he sat down, Zhang Ran heard Zhao Yu say to him: "I have heard that Mr. Dong talked about the benefits of staying in wheat and flying, and I deeply agree with it. But now Guanzhong is a commonplace, which is a pity. Now Xiaolang offers the method of staying in wheat and flying. This move will be of great benefit to the common people in Guanzhong and even the world, and will be of great contribution to the country. If it is recommended, it will be a great good policy!"

After a pause, Zhao Yu warned Zhang Ran again: "Although Xiao Lang has made contributions to his advice, he must not be lazy because of this. Be sure to perform his duties to do his best!"

"Yi!" Zhang Ran nodded heavily and bowed to Zhao Yu and said, "I must keep the words of Ming Gong in mind and dare not slacken at all!"

Then, Zhang Ran hurriedly asked Zhao Yu: "Ming Gong asks for advice. I am hereby the emperor's order and I will come to report my duties to Ming Gong today. However, I have just arrived and have no idea about the powers and other matters of the Qianpu. Therefore, I would like to ask Ming Gong for advice!"

Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "The emperor summoned me a few days ago and mentioned the matters of appointing Xiaolang. Therefore, I have a rough understanding of the matters of Xiaolang's subordinates."

As he said that, Zhao Yu stroked his beard, looked at Zhang Ran again, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "The emperor asked Xiao Lang to choose a place and try the method of planting wheat on a rotation. However, it is winter, and it is the time for cold weather and the land is frozen, and it is not the time for farming. Therefore, there is no hurry to do this. When the weather turns warmer next year and the flowers bloom in spring, it is not too late to make a decision.

What Xiaolang values ​​now is the method of hatching chickens offered by Xiaolang. The emperor once said that this method has some mysterious features and cannot be shown to outsiders, so confidential matters are particularly important.

I have already chosen a good place for Xiaolang in Shanglin Garden. This place is located on the west side of Weiyang Palace, adjacent to Jianzhangying. There are cavalrymen stationed on the side. If there is any change, Jianzhangying will arrive in a moment.

Therefore, Xiaolang can try your secret technique of hatching chickens with peace of mind, so you don’t have to worry about safety!”

After hearing Zhao Yu's words, Zhang Ran couldn't help but be grateful and quickly bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your advice, I am very grateful!"

On the surface, Zhang Ran looked grateful, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "You know everything, and you even arranged a place for me. He just came to the door and pretended not to know anything. Why are you asking questions? He was deliberately testing me, right?"

Zhao Yu didn't know Zhang Ran's mental activities. After giving Zhang Ran a little advice, he picked up a bunch of bamboo slips on the table and said to Zhang Ran: "For the rest, I have ordered the ban on the ban. Xiao Lang just asks him!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ming!" Seeing Zhao Yu's actions, Zhang Ran quickly got up and bowed, and said to Zhao Yu: "Ming Gong is busy with affairs, so I will not disturb Mr. Ming from handling official affairs!"
