Do you still need to ask this question?
Ying Zheng already has a candidate. If Ran Fang says that Sang Hua is not suitable, wouldn't he be openly confronting Ying Zheng?
Even though he was deeply trusted by Ying Zheng, he also knew that there were some things he couldn't do.
Without any thought, he said directly: "Your Majesty, I also think that Sanghua is suitable."
"People doing business in Da Qin are already closely connected. Now that the nobles have joined, more factors have been added to the already complicated business network."
"Nowadays, people in the officialdom are more or less related to them, but Mr. Sanghua has nothing to do with these people, and I also heard that although he is a Legalist, he is not related to other Legalists. Complicity.”
"I admire such a determined person."
"So I don't think there is anything wrong with letting him hold this official position."
After hearing this answer, Ying Zheng was obviously very satisfied.
Ever since he heard Ran Fang's suggestion to become the tax bureau, he had been thinking about suitable candidates.
Although Zhang Liang was indeed good, he was Ran Fang's subordinate after all. He was naturally uneasy when such an important position was handed over to someone else.
Therefore, he secretly investigated the people who participated in this scientific expedition, and through some special means, selected Sang Hua among all the people.
After his test, this Sang Hua was indeed a talented person. He was neither humble nor overbearing when facing him, and he was not flattering at all when he was chosen by him.
This made him even more satisfied.
"As everyone knows, Zhang Liang has been with you for a long time and is most familiar with the affairs of the tax bureau."
"So, Sang Hua and Zhang Liang will manage the affairs of the tax bureau together, and I will reward them with a nearby house in the city."
"how do you feel?"
"You won't be reluctant to leave your subordinates, right?"
Although he said this with a smile, there was a sense of interrogation in his tone, and Ran Fang could really hear it.
How could he not guess what Ying Zheng was thinking?
"Your Majesty has really embarrassed me. It is Zhang Liang's honor and my honor to be able to work for your Majesty."
"I will go back and tell Zhang Liang the good news, and ask him to come and thank His Majesty in person!"
As he spoke, Ran Fang lowered his head respectfully and showed his respect for Ying Zheng with practical actions.
After all, Ying Zheng's move was to keep Zhang Liang away from him. After entering the court and becoming an official in the future, Zhang Liang had better not get close to him.
Sang Hua also immediately expressed his loyalty. He saluted Ying Zheng and said, "I accept the decree!"
It was so harmonious without any arguments, which made Ying Zheng very satisfied.
He waved his hand with a smile, looked at Ran Fang and said, "That doesn't have to be the case. Just let him go directly to Sang Hua tomorrow."
This sentence determines the future positions of Sang Hua and Zhang Liang.
…
Commanding the Embassy.
When Zhang Liang heard that he had been elected to the tax bureau, a smile flashed across his face.
But when he heard Ran Fang say later that after joining the tax bureau, he would be working for His Majesty and that he would move out of the Commander's Residence, there was some hesitation in his eyes.
After joining the tax bureau, he was no longer a guard, but a real Daqin official.
This can be regarded as his wish, but now he is hesitant after thinking about his dream.
After all, Ran Fang had been kind to him, and he always felt like betraying Ran Fang by leaving like this.
"Sir, this matter... I can refuse."
"I dare not forget your kindness in supporting me, and I will never leave you like this!"
Seeing his anxiety and the loss in his eyes, Ran Fang knew that he still wanted to go.
How could he not know Zhang Liang’s ambition?
He chuckled and said: "This is His Majesty's will, how can you refuse?"
"Go with peace of mind. Since His Majesty values you, that's your ability. Just don't embarrass me!"
"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, come back to me and I will command the door to be always open to you."
He learned this kind of speaking skills from his previous leader.
The leader at that time used polite words, but now he says it sincerely.
He knew Zhang Liang's ability and he would definitely be able to make a name for himself after becoming an official in the court. He was still very willing to make friends with this kind of person.
Liu Bang on the side listened to their conversation and was already extremely envious in his heart.
Hearing Ran Fang say this, he even started to feel a little jealous of Zhang Liang.
"Brother Zhang, this is a good thing, why don't you go?"
"When you become an official in the future, you can also do things for adults. Don't have so many ideas."
"If...this matter is left to me, I will definitely not refuse like you do."
"It's a pity...I'm not as blessed as you."
Because they have been with Ran Fang for a long time, they will talk a little casually in private.
Therefore, Liu Bang had a self-deprecating smile and a touch of ridicule when he spoke, successfully making Zhang Liang embarrassed.
Zhang Liang smiled awkwardly, not expecting Liu Bang to have such an idea.
"Haha, Brother Liu is joking."
"This is an opportunity given by Your Majesty. Being able to do things for Your Majesty is a voluntary thing for me. When I become an official in the future, I will naturally follow Your Majesty's lead."
One was waiting for an opportunity to promote himself, and the other was looking for an opportunity to show his loyalty. Ran Fang just watched their performances quietly.
He had always known Liu Bang's ambitions, otherwise he would not have come to Xianyang City to look for opportunities to seek an official position for himself.
However, this was the first time Liu Bang said it so blatantly.
"Okay, the matter has come to an end, so don't mention it again."
"Liu Bang, have you found any results about the person I asked you to investigate?"
When he came out of Xiaoshang Market, Ran Fang asked Liu Bang to investigate the person he met at the milk tea shop.
He was very interested in that person, dared to question, and was able to bend and stretch.
And he always felt that this person seemed to be very interested in small shopping malls, otherwise he wouldn't be the first to drink milk tea.
After that, he didn't catch up with him. He didn't know where he went, so he became even more interested. Then he found someone to draw the man's appearance and asked Liu Bang to investigate.
Two or three days have passed. According to his current strength in Da Qin, the matter should have come to an end.
Sure enough, when it came down to business, Liu Bang immediately changed his expression.
He stood very seriously and said respectfully: "Sir, my subordinates have investigated."
"He is from a nearby village. His name is Chang Yuanliang. He is a fellow villager of Xin Yushu. When the small shopping mall was looking for people to do business, he also signed up."
"It's just that he was kicked out because he was very poor at cooking."
"When the streets of the small shopping mall were being built, he also helped and gave a lot of opinions. The workers in the government are all familiar with him and think he is a pretty good person."
"His relationship with the Xianyang Order is not weak. If you want to test this person, you can call the Xianyang Order over and question him."
Now that Zhang Liang has left for the tax bureau, there is naturally a shortage of people available to Ran Fang.
He now asked Liu Bang to investigate Chang Yuanliang, and he was looking for someone to replace Zhang Liang.
Unexpectedly, Ran Fang shook his head, as if he was really just asking casually.
"I see."
