Ying Tianchang

The city of Jining is not big, and Shen Yue already knew the information by heart, so he found the Heyun Yamen in no time.

High walls and narrow doors, white walls and green tiles.Different from Liang Yuan, which was forcibly expropriated by Zhang Zhiqing, the Jining sub-office of the Heyun Yamen has a refreshing appearance.People in the Yamen of the disaster-affected government have lost all sense of time, and there is an endless stream of supervisors coming in and out of the door, most of them are holding transfer orders.Shen Yueli stood beside the horse-shrinking stone, carefully studied the appearance of the guards and the expressions of the people entering and leaving, and came to the conclusion that this place is really a place for business.

During this trip to Lu, Shen Yue and his son did a lot of homework. Naturally, they had a thorough understanding of the family background of the former deputy director of the Shuiqing Officials Department and now a member of the Heyun Yamen under the Ministry of Industry.Mi Hanzhou, aged 51, was a juren in the 34th year of Zhiming. Before the restructuring, he had successively served as the state judge of the Ministry of Industry, Sicheng, and Fuzheng.

No faction, no affiliation, seems to be an insignificant master.On the information given by his father, this column was circled by Zhu Bi, and Shen Yue snorted coldly, knowing that his father did not know the details of this person, Heyun was the biggest piece of fat in the court, and Yuanwailang was in charge of the transfer of money and grain. It's not that there are people above to take care of it. How can we not sit around and sit around in this job where the wind can't blow and the rain can't get drenched?

When he was at home, Shen Yue suggested that this person might be a close friend of Liang Shangkun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.Today, when Shen Yue first saw the operation of the river transport yamen, he knew that his father had expected well.In the case of Hegong, Zhang Zhiqing is in power, but it is Mr. Mi who does the practical work.Although it is half a level lower than him, how lucky is it to be rooted here for 20 years?Shen Yue didn't want to test his nominal deputy's tolerance for his new boss.

Thinking of this, Shen Yue couldn't help frowning. If Gu Cun is a nail that is exposed when you pry it, then Mihanzhou is a hidden stake in He Gong's lineage. Anyone who wants to build a bridge here must borrow his strength.

Shen Yue took a deep breath, took off the official seal from the saddle, and walked towards the Heyun yamen.

Unexpectedly, Mi Hanzhou was extremely cooperative with him, and he simply didn't treat him as an outsider.

Of course, this is just Shen Yue's guess, because he hasn't seen this Master Mi yet.

No wonder Mi Hanzhou was absent in today's scene. At first, Shen Yue thought that Mi Hanzhou would stay in the Heyun Yamen to handle affairs, or supervise the scene by the river, but he didn't expect his father to be faster than he thought, probably because the transfer order hadn't moved. Food and grass went first, and the first batch of disaster relief supplies from the imperial court arrived in Jining on the same day as him, and this Mr. Yuanwailang ran to pick up these supplies.

Regardless of whether it is clean or not, it is indeed efficient enough to do things, Shen Yue secretly made an assessment in his heart.

As if it had been prepared for him long ago, although Mi Hanzhou himself was not there, he left behind a confidant who not only completed the handover procedures for him very quickly, but even brought him into Mi Hanzhou's study , prepared meals for him, and took out four stacks from the mountains of files on the four wall shelves, and put them in his hand.

"Now is an extraordinary period, and various supplies are in short supply. Mi Gong doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to your lord. He knows that your lord has a hard time traveling, so he can only make it for the time being." The middle-aged man was afraid that the poor food would make him unhappy. Say it quickly.

Shen Yue's attention has long been sucked away by those files, so he didn't care about the quality of the food, so he waved his hand and smiled, "Your family is too considerate, An Ren is young and strong, although he is a son who doesn't distinguish between grains, how can he be so delicate? .but these—"

The man smiled slightly, and said respectfully: "One is the list that must be cleaned up in this corruption case, the other is the distribution list of the various factions in the Heyun Yamen, and the other is the information available to the dams and water conservancy circles in Shanxi and Shandong. The last one is the relatively trustworthy people in the company. You have just arrived, so it would be better to familiarize yourself with the staff arrangement in the company as soon as possible.”

His tone was calm, as if the things in front of him were nothing special, but Shen Yue had to hold down the edge of the table to resist the urge to get up and hug him or grab his collar to ask in detail.After a long while, Shen Yue controlled the absurd feeling of happiness in his heart, tried to maintain a normal look and looked at the man, and said in a deep voice: "Master Mi really takes care of Anren."

The middle-aged man held his hand in salute, smiled respectfully and modestly, and said gently: "It's hot, and the dishes are easy to spoil if left for a long time. You should have your meal earlier."

Shen Yue knew that there were some things that Mi Hanzhou wanted to tell him in person, so he didn't continue to ask. He stood up and bowed deeply respectfully, and changed the subject following the meaning of the middle-aged man: "Mr. Unknown name."

"Sun Yongchang." The middle-aged man was not surprised by Shen Yue's attitude, and returned the gift with a smile: "The department is a civil servant, and he has been in charge of the river transport department's silver and grain transfer for 19 years with Mi Gong."

Shen Yue was silent for a moment, not sure what the other party meant by such a statement. On the surface, the other party seemed to be surrendering to him.

However, is there any reason to bet all your wealth on the first meeting?

Caressing the stacks of files on the table, Shen Yue knew the weight of these papers—there are not many places in the world that his father can't figure out, and this is one place.

Immediately afterwards, he thought of something else, and his slender eyes gradually narrowed—with the money his father raised for him, the family property he was about to receive from Zhang Zhiqing, and the family property that Mi and Sun had accumulated over the past 20 years , What was originally impossible seems to have such a glimmer of hope.

Sun Yongchang stared at Shen Yue's expression, guessed what he was thinking, and said slowly: "My lord's guess is right, Mi Gong has indeed saved a considerable amount of money during his stay here for many years, but it will be delivered soon. The ones used by your lord do not come from this." Sun Yongchang didn't hide the slightest, and said bluntly: "Master Mi will explain the reason in detail when he comes back──Does your lord really not use food? Mrs. Mi's craftsmanship is from Jining area Famous."

After Sun Yongchang finished speaking, he bowed slightly and took leave softly.

……

……

Mi Hanzhou didn't make Shen Yue wait long.

In fact, Shen Yue has been studying those files eagerly, without noticing the passage of time at all.

Shen Yue found it quite interesting.He collected a lot of information about Mi Hanzhou, but he didn't mention his appearance.In his imagination, such a cunning person must be a fat man with a country face, double chins, and bright eyes, but he didn't expect it to be a little fat old man with a red, round face and bad nose.

It is exactly the same as Lao Chai who buys fermented glutinous rice in Nanshi.

Mi Hanzhou walked into the study room, wiped off his sweat, and smiled naively at Shen Yue, "When I came back, I went around the embankment, it was dirty there, and I rushed to see the adults and didn't have time to take a bath and change clothes, the adults laughed at me. "

Shen Yue laughed loudly, closed the file, and gave up his seat to the old man.At this time, he had already calmed down from the previous shock, and waited patiently for the old man to tell the details.

Mi Hanzhou didn't refuse, sat down comfortably, and knocked on the table again.Outside the door, Sun Yongchang was already ready. After knocking on the door lightly, he brought a chair in, and gently pushed the chair under Shen Yuezun's buttocks. A woman who followed came in with a wooden tray on which There are two large enamel bowls, one is rice with green vegetables, and the other is egg soup with chicken feathers and vegetables.

"Don't mind, I'm used to sitting in this position, and I'm not used to it from a different angle." Mi Hanzhou explained to Shen Yue briskly, then took two mouthfuls of food on his own, and said vaguely: "Don't be weird, old man I don’t mean to pretend to be lofty, so let’s take a bite, every time I get off the embankment, Madam always burns this for me.”

Shen Yue looked at Mrs. Mi with a smile on her side. Mrs. Mi blushed slightly, brushed her gray hair, and said softly, "Hanzhou is like this. My lord is used to big scenes in Beijing, so don't laugh at him." "The tone was gentle and reserved, but the meaning of defending her husband was obvious. When Shen Yue thought of his father's pear soup every night, his heart warmed up, and he shook his head with a smile.

……

Mi Hanzhou ate very fast, and emptied the two large bowls in a short while. Madam Mi smiled and wiped off the grains of rice on her husband's beard, carried the tray, bowed to Shen Yue, and bowed back.

Mi Hanzhou watched his wife close the study door, then looked at Shen Yue, smiled and said, "Master Shen, the old man has a kind request."

"Any request, Mr. Mi, but it's okay." Shen Yue's tone was extremely respectful. After reading the files, he had already admired Mi Hanzhou's vision, knowledge, and ability to handle affairs, and he was afraid that he would not be able to accept this person. Under his command, Mi Hanzhou has something to ask for at this time, which is exactly the best.

Mi Hanzhou's smile remained undiminished, but his tone turned solemn, "Although the position of director is entrusted to you, I hope you will still leave it to the old man and Yongchang to do the finer things like transfer of money and food and personnel distribution."

Shen Yue said without hesitation, "An Ren doesn't know anything about it, and he has to trouble your lord for the practical work."

Mi Hanzhou's face froze slightly, and then he smiled happily, "Then, Young Master Shen, the old man is yours now."

Even though he was mentally prepared enough, Shen Yue was still stunned and didn't say a word for a long time.

"you are mine?"

Mi Hanzhou didn't change his face, and repeated with a smile: "That's right, old man, Yongchang, madam, we are all yours."

"It has nothing to do with any forces. We are the ones you can completely trust in the River Transportation Department."
