Number of People

  Chapter 773 E-character scroll Yuanchun (seeking a monthly ticket for the third update)

  Seeing that the spring break had just passed, Feng Ziying knew that, like other Jinshi five-year Yonglong scholars, she was about to face the selection of officials after three years of Jinshi.

  When I went to the Hanlin Academy on the 11th, I felt a little restless inside. On the 12th and 13th, the students immediately became closer, and everyone was discussing their respective whereabouts.

   Until the last moment, no one knows where they are going, and this will not be settled until after the Spring Festival in the eighth year of Yonglong.

   After sprinting vigorously on the horse with a gun, Feng Ziying turned over from Third Sister You's white and plump body, and leaned comfortably on the cushion beside her.

  Second Sister You, who was next to her, had already leaned over and lay down next to each other, and tucked in Jin by the way.

   "Sister Tiangui is here again." Second Sister You said softly.

  Feng Ziying was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the elder sister that Second Sister You said meant Shen Yixiu.

  From the first day when Shen Yixiu married into Feng's family, Duan and his family looked forward to Shen Yixiu's early pregnancy. During that month, Feng Ziying basically rested in Shen Yixiu's house and worked hard.

  However, the sky did not fulfill the wishes of the people, Shen Yixiu came to Tiangui in the middle of last month, that's all, but this month came again, I guess the old lady would be disappointed again if she knew it.

  Sister Youshi is also concerned about Shen Yixiu's belly.

  The older woman is not pregnant, so the two sisters can only wait. If they want to go to bed, they have to think of ways or use contraception at the wrong time.

  Third Sister You also made a rustle in the bed, and then came over, leaning against Feng Ziying.

   "No hurry." Feng Ziying said that she was not in a hurry, but she knew that the Youshi sisters were in a hurry, and of course Shen Yixiu was also in a hurry.

  But this kind of thing didn't come in a hurry. I had already worked very hard. Shen Yixiu also changed from being shy at the beginning to actively pandering now. The pressure from this mother-in-law also brought a great mental burden to her.

Unlike Second Sister You who spends her days thinking about such things, Third Sister You is much better in bed than she was at the beginning, but she doesn't care much about these things, "Master, your three months Are you going to go down?"

   "Well, if there are no accidents, it should be so." Feng Ziying didn't hide this matter from her family. Both Shen Yixiu and Eryou knew about it, but there is no clear statement on where to go.

  Feng Ziying tends to stay in the north, but Guan Yingzhen hopes that Feng Ziying can go to several big prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Yangzhou, Songjiang, Ningbo, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

  The reason for the official response is also very simple and practical.

Feng Ziying is too young, her qualifications are too low, and she is well-known for proposing the strategy of opening up the sea, and she has a good idea of ​​the economic strategy. Then, all the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River are rich in economy, and they are also big tax collectors. These prefectures and prefectures must be able to adapt to local conditions and make some achievements.

Once three years arrive, as long as the Jingcha is excellent, they can consider returning to Beijing, and at the worst, they can be promoted to a higher level to take charge of a government, and taking charge of a government is often a very important step in the promotion rules of the political arena of the Great Zhou. Without the experience of being in charge of a government, even if he joins the cabinet in the future, he will have shortcomings in his right to speak.

  Like the comparison between Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, Qiao Yingjia lacked local experience because he had worked in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a long time, so his career promotion was not as smooth as Qi Yongtai's.

  Qi Yongtai not only once served as a magistrate in Ningguo Mansion in Nanzhili, but also served as a magistrate in Zhangde Mansion in Henan Province.

   "Sir, should you go to the south or stay in the north?" Seeing Third Sister You's curious face, Feng Ziying couldn't help reaching out and pinching her.

"Where the master goes, I can go there, but in terms of life, I'm afraid it's better in Jiangnan." Third Sister You pressed her body closer to the man, her emerald green bellyband was trembling, making people fascinated .

   "Hey, don't you like the taste of Jiangnan's food?" Feng Ziying was very impressed. The third sister You felt that the taste was not suitable when she followed him to Jiangnan for the first time, and she ate very little. It took a long time to get used to it.

   "I'm used to it, so I feel pretty good. I don't want to go to the south of the Yangtze River?" Third Sister You's plump lips are like fire, and her gray-blue eyes are like a civet in the dark under the flickering candlelight.

"It's not whether you want to go to Jiangnan, it depends on how the court arranges." Feng Ziying pondered for a while, "Going to Jiangnan has the advantages of going to Jiangnan, and staying in the North also has the advantage of staying in the North. I personally think that staying in the North More appropriate, after all, Jiangnan is too far away from the capital city."

  In this era of extremely underdeveloped communications, beyond Shuntianfu, it is really a foreign city, and outside of Beizhili, in the eyes of many people in the capital, it is the countryside thousands of miles away.

  For the civil and military officials in the capital city, Jiangnan is more of a source of taxation, or more of an impression of luxury and money, and ordinary people are just an illusory concept that only exists in their hearts.

As Qiao Yingjia said, I am a scholar from the north first, and the strategy of opening the sea has greatly benefited the south of the Yangtze River. It may even be regarded as a betrayal, which must be guarded against.

Moreover, although the south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, it is also a place where taxes are rich, but except for the big cities such as Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Jinling, the tax revenue of Songjiang, Hangzhou, and Ningbo is far higher than that of the rich cities in the North. However, the status in the imperial court is not high, even less than the northern prefectures such as Baoding, Hejian, Taiyuan, Datong, and Jinan.

  In addition, the closer the city is to the capital, the higher the chance of it being known in the court, and the more timely it is to get some news from the court, which is also very important to Feng Ziying.

Qiao Yingjia's insights should be quite incisive, and it is difficult for veterans who have been immersed in the court for many years to taste them. Just like Shen Xing, he had the opportunity to go to Changzhou Prefecture to serve as the magistrate, but in the end he chose Dongchang Prefecture. Take this into consideration.

Seeing the two women beside her curled up beside her like cats, listening to her narration quietly without saying a word, Feng Ziying couldn't help but put her hands under the quilt and patted the two warm bodies, " Why, are you so worried that Master won’t take you there? Or are you unwilling to leave the capital?”

   "We will go wherever the master is going, but the wife and concubine have no one to serve them." Second Miss You said in a low voice.

   "You are filial." Feng Ziying smiled and stroked the soft and fluffy hair of Second Sister You.

My aunt likes Second Sister You's personality very much, she thinks she is honest, reliable, and diligent, and she can't be shaken if she goes to ask her every day. most popular.

  Hearing the teasing in her husband's words, Second Sister You was a little shy and twisted her body.

  She can bear all kinds of tricks on the bed, but she can't stand her husband's teasing. Feng Ziying thinks that Second Sister You is really a gift from God.

"Well, let's see, maybe your sister may not go with the master." Feng Ziying was also thinking, if Shen Yixiu could get pregnant earlier, then she could stay in the capital city and take Eryou to the post by herself, guessing my old lady I thought so too.

   "By the way, Master, the Jia Mansion sent a message to ask Master to go there tomorrow, saying that the imperial concubine and empress want to see Master, but I don't know what it means?" Second Sister You suddenly remembered something.

"Well, I'll know when I go." Feng Ziying didn't want to talk about this matter, so she specially sent someone to send a post to ask her to go to Jia's mansion to meet her. Feng Ziying also felt tired. The imperial concubine is now, so she can point fingers, or do you have other intentions?

  Feng Ziying is more inclined to the latter, but he would rather be the former, that is just a matter of the Jia family, but if it is the latter, why summon him?

   What Feng Ziying was most afraid of was that the other party came with some intentions of the concubine or even the emperor, and that was tricky.

  ********

   "It is said that the Feng family replied to the letter, and Uncle Feng agreed to come to the mansion." Baoqin whispered while combing the hair of the imperial concubine sitting in front of the vanity mirror that came from Xiyang.

   "What did the master say?" Yuan Chun's face was full of worry, and his fingers were as delicate as jade, warm and fair, and he was gently pinching the lacquered incense stick.

   "Well, it was sent by the second master Bao, specially to meet Uncle Feng." Baoqin said cautiously.

Hearing Baoqin mentioned Baoyu, the worry on Yuanchun's face faded away, and a smile appeared on his face, "Baoyu heard that he has been studying harder in the past six months, and I heard that "Today's News" has published things written by him. If Baoyu Being able to write articles on "Internal Reference" is not in vain."

   "Your Majesty, don't worry, with Uncle Feng taking care of you, Second Master Bao will definitely have a good future." Bao Qinkuan explained Yuan Chun, "However, Your Majesty will stay in the mansion for two nights, and Director Xia also needs to take care of it."

"Hmph, that old slave, what else can I do besides asking for money?" A flash of anger flashed across Yuan Chun's face, and then he became depressed again, "That's all, you go and prepare five hundred taels of silver to send, so that this old man won't be able to do anything." Noisy."

   Seeing Baoqin going out, Yuan Chun got up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the small garden outside the window, lost in thought for a while.

Only when I actually came to the palace did I know what it was like to live like this. Yuan Chun could no longer describe it in words. Regret was meaningless, and I never even had a chance to make myself regret it. Sometimes when I woke up from a dream, the embroidered pillow was soaked, I don't know when this day will end?

  But in addition to these sufferings, he still had to be involved in those intrigues, which made Yuan Chun feel exhausted.

   It was just the various fetters and inextricable troubles from home and palace, Yuan Chun found himself powerless to refuse and get rid of.

  Maybe this is my own fate, a fate that I can never break free from?

  Looking at the few strands of emerald green sprouts outside the window, it seems that they have already broken free from the shackles of the cold, releasing a greenness, Yuan Chun thinks of himself, what about himself?

   Continue to target 1000, brothers support!
