The rise of the poor

In the dead of night, the official Wang Shilang was still burning the midnight oil to fight. One after another pieces of papyrus were thrown on the floor in the study. More than a dozen ancient Chinese classics were spread out in a mess on the table, such as "Tongdian. Officials. Nobles". Ah, what's the "Popular Reward System", what's the "Great Edict", what's the "Political Appointment, Removal, Selection, and Nobility Policy" and so on.

"Damn it, Zhu Ping'an, this bastard, has nothing to do. What kind of merit does he have to do? I'm so worried about Mr. Wang. Damn it, what kind of reward should I give to this bastard? A promotion?! A knighthood?! No, no, Yan Xiao The prime minister will definitely disagree! What about rewarding his family? Well, they were already rewarded last time."

As soon as Wang Shilang took up his pen and wrote a few words, he blacked it out in the negative. Angrily and angrily, he balled up the paper into a ball and threw it to the ground, keeping company with the other paper balls thrown on the ground.

"Damn it, what kind of reward is it?!" Wang Shilang's eyes were red and bloodshot. He tugged his hair worriedly. When he tugged on his palm, he found a bunch of hair. If you look carefully, you will find that there is a lot of hair on the ground.

There was no way, this was already the fifth night that Wang Shilang had to burn the midnight oil to fight, but he could not work hard. He only slept for less than ten hours for five days and five nights, and he could not think of a reward that could satisfy Yan Shifan. Chou's hair fell down in clumps, and he saw that the hair on his head was getting thinner and thinner.

"Master, get some sleep. You haven't had much rest in the past five days and five nights. How can your body and bones bear it? You'd better go back to the bedroom and rest for a night."

Wang Shilang's wife came over with a cup of ginseng and wolfberry soup. Seeing Wang Shilang's appearance, she said distressedly.

"Thank you, madam. You can go back and rest. This is the order of the emperor and the prime minister. I must get the draft of the reward before sunset tomorrow."

Wang Shilang glanced at his wife, who was fat and unattractive, and quickly waved his hand, "My body can't stand staying up late, let alone you."

Back then, if I hadn't borrowed the power of my father-in-law, how could I have married you?

Thinking of the past, Shilang Wang couldn't help but sigh.

At that time, Wang Shilang was also a handsome man with bright eyes and white teeth. The main reason why he went to the fat wife in front of him was because the fat wife's father, his cheap father-in-law, was a fifth-grade doctor in the Imperial College and was responsible for teaching third-grade and above in the Imperial College. The descendants of the princes and the descendants of the second-rank officials and above who are in the imperial prison have met many high-ranking officials and dignitaries and have rich connections.

Especially when Yan Song was serving as a priest in the Imperial Academy, his cheap father-in-law became acquainted with Yan Ge.

It was for the sake of his father-in-law's connections that he reluctantly married his fat girl.

On the night of the wedding night, Wang Shilang's waist was broken by his fat wife. It took him more than three months to raise it, but his newlywed fat wife said she wanted to compensate him, but she broke his waist again. waist.

Now, when he thinks about having sex, Wang Shilang has nightmares. For this reason, he often stays up late in the study and works overtime to avoid having sex.

"Sir, why is this reward so important that it keeps you awake for so many days?" Mrs. Wang said unhappily.

"What kind of reward?! I told you, but you don't understand. What do women know?" Wang Shilang frowned.

"What's wrong with the women? We may not understand what military affairs are. If you talk about rewards, we are also good at it. We welcome people in the backyard, promote servants, and reward them. Aren't they all rewards?"

Mrs. Wang said unhappily.

"It's ridiculous. Can the reward in your backyard be comparable to the national reward?" Wang Shilang said with a dark face.

"Why can't we compare? My father often said that cultivating one's family and governing one's country will bring peace to the world. The Qi family is still in the process of governing the country."

Mrs. Wang said with a fat face.

Although Mrs. Wang is not good-looking and has a bad figure, she is also literate. She has a father who is a doctor from the Imperial College, and she has also read books since she was a child.

"Strong words." Wang Shilang snorted with a black face, "Madam, you should go back to your room to rest, don't cause trouble for me here." "Okay, my master, I am also trying to solve your problems, right? Anyway, you haven’t thought of a strategy right now. Why don’t you let me help you think about it? There are three cobblers but one Zhuge Liang. Master, you have to drive out two cobblers. I will drive out one cobbler. If you can’t keep them all, I will come up with it. Why was it awarded?"

Mrs. Wang saw Mr. Wang's dark face and quickly spoke softly.

"You just chased away two cobblers." Wang Shilang's face turned even darker.

"Yes, yes, I'm chasing two cobblers. Sir, can you tell me about it? Maybe I, a cobbler, can come up with a good idea. Anyway, I can't think of it now. I treat a dead horse as a living horse. "

Mrs. Wang walked up behind Mr. Wang, stretched out her fat hand to squeeze Mr. Wang's shoulders, and spoke softly.

"Humph."

Wang Shilang snorted, maybe because the fat wife's soft words made him feel better. Although he snorted, he still started talking.

"It's not that boy Zhu Ping'an who actually accomplished the great feat of annihilating 40,000 Japanese, capturing a Japanese chieftain, and destroying more than a hundred captured Japanese ships. You are not an outsider, and I won't hide it from you. This man named Zhu has offended Yan Yan. Mr. Ge, Mr. Yan Xiaoge specially told me that when awarding a reward, I must suppress the person surnamed Zhu very hard."

Wang Shilang said.

"That's not easy. Why don't we just lower his reward? Give him a vain reputation, or reward him with some gold and silver to make up for it."

Mrs. Wang came up with the idea without taking it seriously.

"If it were so simple, I would still have to worry about it for so many days. Look at my hair falling out. Let me tell you, this guy named Zhu is so lucky that he fell into the eyes of the Holy One. The Holy One is quite fond of him and asked me to Wait for the reward plan to be negotiated within ten days. If the reward plan severely suppresses Zhu Ping'an, the Holy Emperor may not be able to pass it, and those of us who discussed the reward plan will be the ones who suffer."

"However, if Zhu Ping'an's achievements are not respected, Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Yan Xiaoge will not be able to pass the test."

"If you offend Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Yan Xiaoge, let alone me. Even my father-in-law will be implicated and will not be able to stand in the court."

"I can't do it even if I don't do it. I'm worried about being a husband to death."

Once Wang Shilang opened his mouth, he couldn't stop. It was a rare opportunity to express his bitterness, so he kept pouring out his bitterness.

"It won't work if you press it, and it won't work if you don't press it. This is going to be difficult." Mrs. Wang said with a troubled face.

"Nonsense, if it's not difficult, how can I worry about it for so many days?" Wang Shilang rolled his eyes.

"Since ancient times, rewards have come and gone, and they are nothing more than promotion, getting rich, and women." Mrs. Wang said with her fingers, "Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Yan Xiaoge have been pressing for rewards, so they must be pressed for promotion. Now only Now that I have a fortune and a woman, can you give him some more money and a woman?" Mrs. Wang said.

"You think the imperial court is a brothel, and you still send women?!" Wang Shilang was speechless. (End of chapter)
