Ying Zheng worked very quickly. After Ran Fang told him about the cabinet's ideas, he returned to the palace and started planning the matter.
Soon, a cabinet headed by Li Si and Feng Quji and assisted by the nine ministers of the court was established.
When the news reached Ran Fang's ears, he couldn't help but admire that Ying Zheng really knew how to do things.
Although the three princes and nine ministers are all officials in the court, and the nine ministers are headed by the three princes, who in the court knows about the overt and covert struggles between them?
Now, putting these people together really solves a lot of worries.
Ran Fang didn't care about the affairs of the cabinet. He just asked his subordinates to inquire about the news at any time and tell him if anything important happened.
Now, for him, he has to prepare his own farm.
In the past few days, he has asked people to buy some more sheep, and he is also planning to expand the breeding farm and buy some chickens, ducks and geese to start breeding.
However, he needed to find a trustworthy person who was good at breeding to do these things. He could wait for news from Xin Yushu. After all, he was willing to give a chance to the candidates recommended by Zheng Guo.
At this time, Xin Yushu, who had received the news from Zheng Guo, had already arrived in Xianyang City. He was originally unwilling to come here again, but since the village had received help from Zheng Guo, he naturally could not ignore the news from Zheng Guo. .
Taking the letter written by Zheng Guo, he knocked on Zheng Guo's door.
Seeing Xin Yushu coming, Zheng Guo quickly invited people into the mansion. After sitting down, he said happily: "You are finally here."
"Are you sure of what I told you in the letter?"
"This is a good opportunity. Being able to work in the commander's mansion is an opportunity that many people dream of."
"Besides, breeding is also your strong point. You can take a good bath in the mansion. I will take you to see the commander in a moment to see if he is willing to keep you."
Hearing this, Xin Yushu's face suddenly showed an unhappy look.
Although he is just a small farmer, he still has his own dignity.
The last time I got news from Zheng Guo, I came all the way to take part in the scientific examination. As a result, I stayed in the city for so long and was rejected directly in the end.
This made him very angry and felt that he had been insulted.
Moreover, when facing those officials, he felt that everyone was too hypocritical. He just wanted to do his own thing well. If joining the court as an official would violate his own principles as a human being, then he would naturally be unwilling to do so.
"Master Zheng, I know your good intentions, but this is not what I want."
"I'm not interested in being an official. I'm afraid I can't be flattery with my temperament."
"I came to Xianyang City this time to thank you for your kindness. I have no intention of going to the so-called commander. I am satisfied just doing my own thing in the village."
"After saying hello to you, I'm leaving. I also brought the food that the villagers asked me to bring you."
Zheng Guo's expression was stagnant, as if he didn't expect that someone would refuse to work for Ran Fang.
However, he soon figured out that it was still because of the last scientific examination.
He understood that Xin Yushu was a bit arrogant, but he also didn't like those tortuous things.
Because of this, when Xin Yushu was leaving after his scientific examination, he did not stop him.
"This time is different. The commander is different from other officials."
"I know what you want. The commander is also looking for someone who can raise sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. You don't need to deal with other officials."
"As long as you do your job well, the commander will definitely not treat you badly!"
Seeing how sincerely he said it, Xin Yushu still had a look of disbelief on his face, and there was even a trace of disdain in his eyes.
In his opinion, all officials are the same. Except for people like Zheng Guo who really care about their people, they all talk about benevolence and morality, but are full of egoism.
"Master Zheng, please stop trying to persuade me, I will not work for such a person!"
"You know my temper. If I don't want to do it, I won't do it even if you force me."
"What's more, it should be easy for them to find a farmer. You should look for someone else."
Zheng Guo was very hurt by his indifferent appearance. He didn't expect Xin Yushu to be so stubborn, and he didn't know how to persuade him.
There was no way, as Xin Yushu said himself, if he didn't want to, no one could force him.
Seeing his resolute look, he couldn't force anyone to do anything. He would just let Ran Fang look for someone else when the time comes.
"Since you have decided to leave, I can't make things difficult for you."
"However, I have promised the commander to take you to see him. It is not good to break his promise on this matter."
"You and I will go see the commander later. I will tell him then that if you don't want to stay in Xianyang for a long time, the commander will not make things difficult for you."
"You go change your clothes, and we will go find the commander now."
Xin Yushu stood up, looked at his clothes up and down, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. No need."
"I just went to say hello. Will the commander look down on me because of this?"
Zheng Guo looked at him with some hatred, and said helplessly: "Why are you so stubborn?!"
"There will be times in the future when you regret it!"
"Okay, let's go."
Xin Yushu didn't feel anything at all, and followed Zheng Guo towards Ran Fang's mansion.
When he arrived at the Commander's Office, the expression on his face was still very arrogant, and he even felt that Ran Fang was using his official position to bully Zheng Guo.
But when he followed Zheng Guo into the commander's residence, he looked at the furnishings in Ran Fang's courtyard and what happened from the door to the courtyard. He stood there without squinting and did not laugh at his clothes.
This feeling was rare, and he had a different view of Ran Fang in his heart.
After all, the attitude of an official can best be seen in how his subordinates do things.
But he still adheres to the principle in his heart and will never do anything for officials in the DPRK and China. Even if he wants to do it, he will do it according to his own wishes.
When he walked into the front hall, he didn't find any magnificent decorations. Zheng Guo took him and sat down directly. This showed that Ran Fang was friendly to others. Otherwise, how could anyone dare to sit down without waiting for the master to come?
As soon as they sat down, a man came in from outside. When he saw Zheng Guo, he bowed respectfully and said, "See Mr. Zheng."
"It's been a long time."
From what he was wearing, he looked like a guard in the palace, but his tone of voice was so casual, and he was so familiar with Zheng Guo, which even surprised Xin Yushu.
But Zheng Guo seemed very natural and replied with a smile: "Indeed."
"You are busy with work, but I come here often."
After speaking, he took the initiative to explain: "This is Cao Yangyun who is beside the commander, and he is highly regarded by the commander."
"This is Xin Yushu, a farmer who is very good at breeding, so I took him to see the commander."
After hearing Zheng Guo's introduction, Cao Yangyun turned his attention to Xin Yushu who was standing aside. He had heard about the breeding farm and naturally knew the purpose of Zheng Guo bringing this person here.
He smiled and took the initiative to chat: "That's it."
"Farmers do have some skills, and I admire them very much."
"If this matter comes to pass, then Lord Zheng has solved a problem for you. If this matter comes to pass, your Lordship will definitely thank you."
Listening to the tone of his voice, Xin Yushu felt that if he really succeeded, he would be treated well in this mansion.
And judging from what Cao Yangyun said in front of him, he still had a very high status in this mansion.
This gave him an intuition that the commander's mansion was indeed different from other mansions.
Just when he was thinking about whether to compromise, Zheng Guo next to him sighed helplessly and said in a helpless tone: "Alas..."
"I just brought him to see the commander, but he didn't care about that, so I'm afraid the commander will have to look for him again."
