Zheng Quchi thought Yuan Xingzhou was joking, but he never expected that the appointment letter and official uniform would be delivered the next day.
Suspecting that it was fake, she took the "Jiu Shen" and tried to read the awkward appointment letter. It had her background and resume, and also had the signatures and seals of the awarding official and the person in charge. It was so formal and rigorous... fake, I guess it can't be fake anymore.
His only hope failed, Zheng Quchi pursed his lips.
She, she also plans to return to her hometown after solving everything in Shengjing, and use the remaining energy in her hometown to create and build Xinfu County and start a farming chapter.
...But things took a turn for the worse, and what she was going to do next was not farming, but engineering construction.
She was told that she was familiar with civil engineering, but she still planned to decline. The main reason was that she felt that it was very unreliable to be appointed to an official position for no reason, especially if it was given to a woman.
She had asked about it, and there had never been any cases of women being given official titles in Ye State.
This is not allowed by the ancestral system, the bureaucracy, and probably even the principles of human ethics. Although the malice towards women in this era is not that great, and it is not enough to practice the superiority of men and women to the end, it is still far from the equality between men and women. situation.
Therefore, if she accepts this lawsuit, it is equivalent to accepting the path arranged by Yuan Xingzhou for her to risk the disapproval of the world. She will have to face all kinds of colored eyes and all kinds of objections, and then the civil and military officials of the court will She and her daughter were mixed in, and they looked like strangers.
In this situation, if a strong woman from time travel came to do it, she would definitely be dreaming of it. From then on, she would fight hard and rise to the top, but a technical geek like her just wanted to change her life in peace and stability with technology, make money to support her family, and bring world peace.
But she didn't see Yuan Xingzhou, he sent Shi Zhonglai to brainwash her.
Her official position was actually not as important as she thought. It was just a casual position. She was promoted when needed and hidden when not needed.
In addition, some of the ministers in the court who rebelled with Empress Ye were beheaded by His Highness the Crown Prince, and a large part of them are still in prison, awaiting trial. The last part of the court has no leisure at all to pay attention to and oppose an appointment to a sinecure. thing, so she doesn’t have to worry about being embarrassed or discriminated against.
Finally, His Highness the Crown Prince got the Shenmu Meng from Queen Ye. If she wanted the Shenmu Meng, it would be best to rebuild him and his future queen's palace for His Highness the Crown Prince.
She asked in confusion: "Why were the two palaces, Zichen Palace and Kunning Palace, burned down?"
"Oh, His Highness did it."
Zheng Quchi: "..."
"Madame General, oh, no, it should be Master Zheng, Master Zheng. His Highness is anxious to live in a new palace. I hope you can take office tomorrow and do your best to provide a residence for His Highness and his future queen."
Seeing that there was no excuse for him anymore, Zheng Quchi immediately changed his mind and fought for the treatment he deserved: "Then what rank is my great craftsman? Do I have any subordinates? How much is my salary?"
"Although the great craftsman is ranked as the ninth minister, he is in charge of civil engineering affairs. If there is something to do, he will take care of it, and if there is nothing, he will save it. He belongs to the official rank of Youcheng, Gongcao, and Chief Secretary. He is the third rank and has a rank of two thousand stones."
"Two thousand stone salary is quite a lot." Zheng Quchi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Gai Shizhong also thinks so: "Of course there are many. If you work well, there will be additional rewards. For example, if you build palaces, ancestral temples, royal tombs, etc. for outstanding performance, Your Highness will have your own rewards."
"...Okay, okay." She was impressed by the charm of money. After thinking about it, she asked again: "Then where will I live in the future?"
"Master Zheng, doesn't he have his own residence? The general seems to have a residence in Shengjing..." Qi Zhong was surprised.
Her relationship with Yu Wensheng was pure water, pure and innocent. To be honest, she didn't ask about his wealthy family at all, and she had no intention of monopolizing and enjoying it.
But she definitely can't live in the Babu Palace in Renyuan Xingzhou forever. After he solves the murder of King Ye by a group of people behind Ye, he will naturally ascend the throne as the new king. When the new king naturally lives in a new palace, she If this person really takes over this position, it’s time to get started quickly.
After he left, Zheng Quchi sighed.
"Being an official, I never dreamed that such a day would come to me."
For a moment, I felt elated again.
"Mom, I have made a difference. I became a high official in ancient times."
I was worried again for a while.
"If the Ye Kingdom is destroyed, where can I find such good conditions to work?"
For a while, I felt indignant.
A man's mouth is a liar.
At first, he kept saying that if he became the king, he would make her the queen. But now it's better. Just because he offended him, he was demoted to a workman like a cow or a horse.
Although she had no intention of becoming his queen.
Later in the evening, Yuan Xingzhou sent someone to bring her the Shenmu Meng. After she confirmed it was correct, she asked Liu Chaiji, who was about to go home, to deliver it to Brother Sang.
Yuan Xingzhou said that he only needed to grind a little into powder, mix it with water and feed it to Sang Yaomei, and the poison could be controlled for a period of time. Sang Yaomei would be safe and sound until the Shenmu Meng was completely used up.
After settling this major matter on his mind, Zheng Quchi asked where he worked the next day, and planned to check in first, get to know the people he knew, and find out what the craftsman was specifically responsible for.
But as soon as she arrived at Hualin Garden, she saw several people with red letters and white scarves on their foreheads rushing out. They were dressed in official uniforms and stood angrily at the entrance of Hualin Garden. They seemed to be discussing something and angrily denounced something. The crowd was passionate.
How does this look like the angry people carrying flags and protesting on the streets in modern times?
Zheng Quchi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked politely: "Brothers, what are you doing around the entrance of Hualin Garden?"
They glanced at Zheng Quchi, recognized her third-grade official uniform, and said angrily: "Sir, please give way, we are going to fight with those bastards in Nanlin Garden!"
"ah?"
As she looked confused, the middle-aged men with honest faces tightened the headscarves tied around their foreheads, passed her, and rushed towards the trail.
Zheng Quchi was hesitating whether she should take care of this matter. These people coming out of Hualin Garden might be her subordinates in the future. It doesn't seem right to just let them go like this, right?
So she followed.
"No, brothers, who are you going to fight with now? Can we calm down first? Everything should be discussed. Don't be impulsive."
"It's none of your business, get out of the way!"
"I don't care. Even if you want to fight, you'd better get some weapons. With nothing but anger, what if you rush over and can't kill others?" she suggested.
This counter-persuasion was effective, and they actually stopped: "Yes, you have to get your weapons."
Seeing them turn around and prepare to go back to find weapons, Zheng Quchi said again: "Can you tell me why you are fighting with the people in Nanlin Garden? I have manpower. If you can't defeat me, I can also call someone to help you. !”
When they heard this, they all looked at Zheng Quchi with surprise and gratitude.
Today she is wearing a dark blue official uniform with bluestone piping. She is of medium height. At first glance, she thought she was a man, but upon closer inspection, her facial features are very delicate, with red lips and white teeth, resembling a woman.
But this is impossible. There is no woman in official uniform. He must just look like a woman. (End of chapter)
