"So there are three forces fighting in the court now?"
After Sang Hongyang drove the carriage back with worries, the discussion about the turmoil among the court officials was obviously not over yet.
The turbulent changes in top officials do not only refer to changes in one official position, but will affect many people.
If you rely on nepotism to get to the top, if your backer falls, the many petty and middle-ranking officials associated with you will not be able to do well either.
Either they can quickly find another company to rely on, or they can be transferred after a few days, or more than ten days, or even dozens of days, thus leaving the carrot pit to other officials who are on the right side.
"Three strands, maybe four strands, maybe five strands!"
When Rong Tianding asked enthusiastically, Zhang Xuezhou thought for a moment before responding.
He didn't enter the court, but he had some basic understanding.
This turmoil involved the intervention of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and Shen Peigong, but in Sang Hongyang's case, the new emperor was obviously also working hard to cultivate his own intervention.
But compared to the other three, the new emperor's manpower is obviously not enough for the scene.
In addition, Zhang Xuezhou vaguely felt that Xianting might have had a hand in it, but he didn't know who on Xianting's side was muddying the waters.
Amid such disputes, it is no wonder that Yao Yuanguang suggested remaining independent.
No matter how good the development is, if the struggle for power fails, the tree will fall and all the investment will be in vain.
It would be fine if the family could be changed. It would be almost difficult for some losers who were heavily involved to stand up.
"It used to be Prime Minister Liu, then it was Prime Minister Wei, and now it's Prime Minister Dou!"
If we count the time since Zhang Xuezhou first came to Chang'an City to work as a spell-casting medium, it would only have been six years, and the candidate for prime minister has already been changed to a third person.
The changes involving positions such as Taiwei also appear to be frequent.
However, it is still relatively rare for the highest positions of imperial prince, prime minister, and censor to be changed simultaneously.
Zhang Xuezhou looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and felt that it was difficult to be an official in the imperial court.
But his thoughts changed quickly. If even he felt that it was difficult to become an official, but there were still so many people flocking to it, it only proved that there were so many benefits to being an official that these people pursued it like moths to a flame.
"If the Jingzhaoyi Mansion sends out official documents to recruit talents after I have slept with them, you can help me carry the bamboo slips asking for an appointment." Zhang Xuezhou said: "They only check the bamboo slips but not the people, so you can go anywhere!"
Zhang Xuezhou thought for a while and felt that he should do the first step well first.
He was urged by Xu Yuan to write more than 10,000 words all night long. His pen became lint-free and his wrists were sore from writing, but he had to finish the task.
If he were a little more relaxed when writing, he would write about 4,000 words a day, and then he would be able to get things done before returning to reality. As for delivery and other matters, he could only leave it to Rong Tianding and others.
"Moreover, asking someone to deliver bamboo slips asking for an official position will show more wealth and wealth, which can effectively reduce their misjudgments!"
Zhang Xuezhou narrated the matter, which made Rong Tianding pat his chest and promise to comply.
"The noble sheep said that the grain harvested in the past two days is not enough. Is our business almost over?" Xu Yuan asked after regaining consciousness.
"This business will definitely get harder as time goes by." Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said, "When the grain harvest fails, we will have to wait until next year!"
"What a pity!"
Xu Yuan pursed his lips, feeling that this was the most fulfilling month in his history.
Seeing half a tael of money coming into his account every day, he was full of energy.
But as soon as he thought about having to wait a year to do this kind of thing for more than a month, he felt that the time was too long.
"We have finished this business, is there any other business next?" Xu Yuan asked.
"We are the only one selling seeds... Why don't you take a look at what seeds are available in the East and West markets?" Zhang Xuezhou suggested: "Our store not only sells millet seeds, but also other seeds!"
"Can we also harvest millet, chestnut, wheat, soybean, adzuki bean, mallow, mustard, and leek seeds?" Xu Yuan continued to ask.
"As long as you can choose good seeds, you can harvest some. Anyway, we can afford all kinds of seeds. When we become officials, we will not only buy a house, but also buy some land for farming!"
Since the new emperor had some interest in agriculture, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he could also engage in agriculture.
If they don't need it, they can still eat it themselves or sell it.
There is no need to do things personally, as long as Xu Yuan gives some guidance and hires two long-term workers to do the work, they can do these things easily.
"When you become an official and buy a house, we still have to make alchemy," Xu Yuan reminded.
"You're right!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded with a strange expression, and Rong Tianding opened his mouth.
Not to mention Xu Yuan, Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding were both waiting for this.
The Peiyuan Pill is of no use to the two of them at the moment. Zhang Xuezhou has passed the stage of using the Peiyuan Pill, while Rong Tianding still needs to find the secret book of the Shijiao School before he can take the medicine and practice.
But after spending such a long time with each other, we can now say some things that were inconvenient to say in the past.
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou nodding, Rong Tianding immediately pulled Xu Yuan and murmured, and even showed off his magic of finding ghost objects, and attracted a trace of Nanming Fire.
"I have a healing technique that can treat internal and external injuries. Maybe I can even help your grandpa!"
Rong Tianding's words made Xu Yuan willing to help, and he would go back to Bajun next year when the weather is suitable to ask. However, whether Xu Ji was willing to pass on the secret code of the Shijiao School to Rong Tianding was not something he could guarantee.
When Zhang Xuezhou opened his mouth, Xu Yuan felt that he could immediately put down everything from buying seeds to the next year. He wished he could take off from where he was and take Xu Ji to Chang'an City.
"If you want to take your grandfather to Chang'an City, we can't run back in such a miserable state!"
Zhang Xuezhou said a few words to Rong Tianding, and things went smoothly. Tianding followed Xu Yuan and ran back to Bajun. In the end, Xu Yuan took Xu Ji from Bajun to Chang'an City to seek medical treatment.
Even if the Nongzong monks don't like the place of Chang'an City, let alone the involvement of the imperial court, it is not unacceptable to treat the disease appropriately.
Rather than lying in Bajun waiting for time to pass and die of old age, Xu Yuan is more willing to give it a try.
He didn't need to show off his skills like Rong Tianding did for Zhang Xuezhou to verify. After being together for so long, he already knew that Zhang Xuezhou would not joke about this kind of thing.
"When we finish Sang Hongyang's millet business, you can take ten guan as payment and rent a carriage and horse for a trip," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Ten punches? Too... too many!"
"Your grandpa is old and his health can't bear the travel. It's worth spending the money!"
Since the establishment of the store, the business has brought in a lot of money every day, but after a long time, less than three guan of money has been brought into the account. Zhang Xuezhou casually took ten guan, which made Xu Yuan tremble a little.
When Zhang Xuezhou mentioned Xu Ji's health, he accepted it while declining.
"If it weren't for my health problems, I would have gone to Bajun with you," Zhang Xuezhou said.
Riding a pair of black and white horses can quickly cross mountains and rivers, and it is more comfortable than running around with a horse and cart, but Zhang Xuezhou does not want to do such a thing.
Firstly, it was a matter of his physical and resting condition; secondly, it was difficult for him to get away from seeking an official position in Chang'an City; thirdly, he had mediocre luck and rashly helped Rong Tianding seek the inherited secret code of the Shijiao School; fourthly, it was difficult to compare For them to go to Bajun, Xu Ji's coming to Chang'an City will obviously bring more convenience.
Not to mention the relationship brought by the Nongzong monk, if Xu Ji really brought the Shijiao Book to Chang'an City, even if the other party looked down on Rong Tianding and thought that Rong Tianding was not suitable for the inheritance of the Shijiao school, Zhang Xuezhou would have to find an opportunity to look through it. Juan Gu animal skin, recite it directly and then make a copy.
