Chapter 629 T-Juan It’s hard to be a man!
Xue Pan waited all night in Feng Mansion but failed to see Feng Ziying, so he could only leave a message to Ruixiang angrily and leave.
In fact, both Xue Pan and Ruixiang knew that Feng Ziying had not come back so late, so she probably stayed out for the night, and Ma Xiang Hutong was the most likely.
However, Feng Ziying is seventeen years old, so this seems to be a normal thing. Moreover, Feng Ziying does not like to go out for banquets and wine, and she does not like to wait for singers to accompany her, so her reputation is still good. , As for raising an extra room, is this wrong? It doesn’t really seem to count.
Ni Er didn't wait either. He also guessed that when Feng Ziying came back from Jiangnan, she would probably go to the two aunts You in Maxiang Hutong to rest.
He doesn't have as many taboos as Xue Pan, so he went to Ma Xiang Hutong to guard him early in the morning.
Feng Ziying rode his horse, and Ni Er followed the horse and talked with him.
“Uncle Xue was waiting for me at the house last night...”
“Oh?” Feng Ziying choked, feeling a little embarrassed.
He can be regarded as a quasi-brother-in-law. He didn't go to see Baochai when he came back, nor did he come here to steal fragrance.
However, the taste last night was truly unforgettable for him. It was a wonderful taste that he could never feel in his previous life. It really made people unable to extricate themselves from it. He felt that he could get out of bed with great perseverance.
Ni Er didn't think anything was wrong. Isn't this outer room just for pampering?
He has seen Sister You, who has fair skin and deep eyes, a high nose and blue eyes, and an exotic look. Most people may not like this tone, but some people like her very much. Well, I guess this is the case for this gentleman.
It's just that he has never been lucky enough. He is a little surprised that the You sisters are still yellow flowers. He probably has to wait for a suitable opportunity before picking them.
Seeing that Feng Ziying just said "Oh" and said nothing again, Ni Er said cautiously: "Business at Daguanlou is very good now. Isn't the uncle going there yet? Mr. Liu and Brother Yun are very interested. Even Uncle Xue is interested." Changing from the usual practice of insisting on guarding when there is nothing to do, now the Daguan Tower and Mingyue Tower are the most popular in the Beijing Theater. They are full every day, and private rooms like those have to be reserved several days in advance. Secondly, Only then can we count the Yaoliang Pavilion and Yanzi Tower..."
Although Feng Ziying didn't care much about Daguan Tower, and Feng Ziying trusted Liu Xianglian and Jia Yun, Ni Er still consciously shouldered the responsibility of "monitoring" Feng Ziying, and Feng Ziying did not reject it. Ni Er was a sensible person who knew what was right.
“Well, how did you do that?” Feng Ziying finally spoke.
Ni Er perked up and said, "Reply to me, West City and South City are both in my hands, and most of North City is in my hands. Only Dongcheng, the brother-in-law of the commander of Dongcheng's Army and Horses Division is not actually a brother-in-law, he is the East City Army and Horses Division. Yang San, the brother who commanded Lu He's concubine, also gathered a group of people and almost surrounded Dongcheng. We only occupied one square, and the two sides were a little unhappy..."
Feng Ziying already knew something about this matter, and he also knew very well who was behind Luhe. It was King Beijing, and it was said that he also had the support of Prince Yi Zhong. This matter was revealed to him by King Zhongshun.
"Ni Er, for things like this, whoever comes first, first served, we won't bully others, just follow the rules. Now you have almost occupied the inner city, and there are still many on the edge of the city in the south. Sooner or later, we will have to do it This time, spend more time on it..."
Feng Ziying glanced at Ni Er who was thoughtful. This guy had a ring of eyes, a thick beard on his face, and a turban. He actually had some momentum.
"As for the Dongcheng side, I still say the same thing. Follow the rules and there is no need to deliberately provoke. But if the other party does not follow the rules, then there is no need to be polite. The Dongcheng Bingma Division is not the Palace of Hell. Isn't there a censor patrolling the city? ? Everyone has to obey the king's will and follow the rules..."
Ni Er was very determined.
He secured the patrol camp, as well as Wanping and Daxing counties, but neither the patrol camp nor the county government dared to challenge the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. The only people who could restrict the Wucheng Army and Horse Division were the Ministry of War and the patrol censor. Yes, the Ministry of War has control over the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department during special periods, while the City Patrol Censor has direct jurisdiction over the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department during ordinary times.
Uncle Feng’s teacher is the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the censor of the city patrol is also sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Ni Ermiao knows the ropes here.
"Don't worry, I know the rules. I won't make it difficult for you. We have never thought about swallowing up the entire capital city. There are other people doing it in Beicheng. We don't make things difficult for others. It's just that Yang San is not honest in what he does. , everyone is doing things based on their own abilities, but they have to play some dirty tricks, which makes me, Ni Er, look down upon..."
Ni Er sent Feng Ziying to the entrance of Fengcheng Hutong, then watched Feng Ziying enter the alley, and then Shi Shiran left.
With Feng Ziying's words, he was confident. Since Uncle Feng pointed out that there was still room for development in the south, he naturally meant something. In addition, he also specifically mentioned that he could take the opportunity to purchase one or two more Zhuangzi fields outside the city for special purpose. It is used to grow seasonal fruits and vegetables. It is expected that the demand for this type of food will increase greatly in the capital city in the future.
But if you don’t understand, you still don’t understand. Since Uncle Feng said this, there must be some truth to it.
Not to mention that when she returned to her home and faced Jin Chuan'er, Xiang Ling's mouth that could hang oil bottles, and Yun Shang's aggrieved beauty, Feng Ziying herself felt a little guilty and weak.
Even if you want to try something new, Yu Chuan'er is not here, but you still have Yun Shang. How come you are so busy staying out for the night on the second day after you come back? What do the other maids in the house think?
You really can’t afford to leave me in the house? Maybe there are still people who think it's time to change the person in the uncle's house.
"Uh, Jin Chuan'er, Xiang Ling, Yun Shang, I was wrong, next time I must..." What must it be? Feng Ziying didn't know what to say.
Does it mean that we can no longer go to Ma Xiang Hutong? How can it be? The freshness hasn’t worn off yet.
Feng Ziying wished she could live there every day. The bed was decorated with three good things, one dragon and two phoenixes, and the taste of the blue eyes, **** and fat buttocks was really not something that Jin Chuaner and Xiangling could compare to. of.
"Where I go and where I stay is all my business. How can the servants interfere?" Although Jin Chuaner's face was indifferent, Feng Ziying could naturally hear her grievances. "But shouldn't I also let Baoxiang do it?" Come back and tell the house. If your wife asks where you are, but we don't know, that will also break the rules..."
"Yes, Sister Jin Chuan'er is right. Baoxiang came back at a young age and announced that he would not be able to come back. Sister Xiangling stayed at home for half the night..." Yun Shang also pouted.
"Uh, I must be careful next time, be careful..." This is the first time that Feng Ziying has been so embarrassed in front of several maids. This is like eating someone with a soft mouth and short hands. If you eat someone, you always feel that you are in debt.
However, there are some things that You Er and You San still have to do. I originally wanted Jin Chuan'er to do it, but now it seems a bit inappropriate. Isn't this probably to stimulate Jin Chuan'er and the others?
Being a man is also difficult.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ruixiang came in again, "Uncle, it's almost time."
Feng Ziying sighed, "Let's go."
After listening to Feng Ziying's report, Guan Yingzhen stroked his beard with satisfaction. Although he did not attend yesterday's afternoon meeting, he still learned about the situation early.
This is related to a lot of the next work of Zhongshuke, and also involves the future rights and responsibilities of Zhongshuke. It is necessary to delineate a scope as soon as possible and clarify the rules and boundaries.
Feng Ziying made a good start and grasped the key to the problem. However, as Feng Ziying said, the current Zhongshu Department is short of manpower and has no offices below. It is impossible to flex its muscles. Now we can only put up the airs first. Only when we get up and make plans can we know what we can do next.
The area of responsibilities that Feng Ziying delineated for Zhongshu Ke was a scaled-down version of the National Development and Reform Commission in the future, or more accurately, similar to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce during the Republic of China, which was mainly responsible for public works, commerce, and mining. Of course, from the central level of the imperial court, it was more Most of them are planning guidance.
But in this big week, especially now, if you expect the provinces to implement or do these things on their own, that is pure fantasy.
For the current provinces, prefectures and counties, economic development is not their main responsibility. They collect and pay taxes in full, and then educate, litigate, water conservancy, public security, and even encourage farmers and provide relief. This is the way for them to win official reputation. They have probably never thought about developing commerce or industry and finding more ways for the people to eat and make money, and it is impossible for them to think about it.
So Feng Ziying also brought in some of her "private goods" intentionally or unintentionally when reporting to Guan Yingzhen.
"Master Guan, from the current point of view, the status of the Zhongshu Department is still a bit embarrassing. People say that the name is not justified. Our Zhongshu Department was originally intended to be a transactional organization that prepared imperial edicts for the emperor, but now it has been given important responsibilities. But this seems to be a temporary one. Well, our powers and responsibilities are also broadly defined. Many of them overlap with those of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Works, and even the Ministry of War. Now I am afraid that these ministries are somewhat incompetent. Watch what the joke means,…”
Feng Ziying's words touched Guan Yingzhen's heart.
The Ministry of Household Affairs is better off. After all, it is now possible to get a large sum of money through the Zhongshu Keke, so it can finally respond to emergencies. But the Ministry of Works is a little unhappy.
The craftsmen of the Qingjiang Shipyard in Longjiang will be moved to Denglai, and the construction of the naval fleet will no longer be handed over to the shipyards under the Ministry of Industry. The deposits allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs for the construction of the naval fleet in Denglai will be directly given to the shipyard that has not yet seen its shadow. This makes the Ministry of Industry Everyone was very upset.
If it weren't for the fact that the money needed for the canal work and river canals was also financed by this batch of money recovered from the Zhongshu Ke, I'm afraid the Ministry of Works would really fall out.
