"There is nothing to be grateful for, let alone thank you. I have taken advantage of you."
Hearing what Zheng Yiyan said, Zheng Xiong didn't continue to push. It was enough to stop everything.
"I heard that Mr. Boss has been promoted. Where will he go next? Is there any conclusion?"
Hearing this, Zheng Yiyan's face turned slightly rosy, and he was obviously satisfied with where he was going.
"It's not a high promotion. I'm still a third-rank official, Zuo Shilang. At the end of my term, I have to retire and return to my hometown. I hope I can spend this term quietly, and I'll be satisfied."
You say so, but what's going on with the smile that can't be concealed at the corner of your mouth.
A high promotion is a high promotion. Although it does not cross a level, I can still distinguish the difference between the official title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel and the Yin of Yingtian Mansion.
Since Lao Zhu appointed Li Shanchang as Zuocheng, the pattern of superiority to the left and inferiority to the right has emerged.
The left minister and the right minister have the same level and manage similar affairs. One is responsible for internal affairs and screening, and the other is responsible for external affairs and assessment.
The rank and the affairs he was in charge of were quite different, but at this time when Zuo was still respected, his status was slightly higher, and he could be said to be the second-in-command after Shangshu.
Moreover, the Ministry of Personnel controls the promotion of officials all over the world and has the right to review officials. The benefits of promoting two people at will are not small.
As long as you have such a promotion, even if you retire, you can still have some say in the court.
Even if you are not greedy or corrupt, there are still many benefits.
On the other hand, being a governor of Yingtian Prefecture is a hard job. You have to eat, drink, and have sex in one house. There are a lot of big men in this capital. If you don't pay attention, you will offend people.
Normal people know the difference between the two, let alone Zheng Yiyan. After getting rid of the drudgery of Yingtian Mansion, from now on, the sky is high and the fish can leap, the sea is wide and the birds can fly.
But if you insist on being humble, Zheng Xiong will cooperate with the performance.
"Your Excellency is humble. He serves as Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of Personnel, which is the head of the six departments. He is second only to Lord Shangshu. It is nothing but a high promotion."
"In the future, I will have to rely on my boss for promotion, and I will need my boss to take care of me in the future selection and assessment."
The head of the six ministries now has to be the Ministry of Personnel. In the future, the Ministry of Rites will become the head of the six ministries because it has mastered the imperial examination and controls the advancement ladder for rich and poor families.
Moreover, most of the members of the cabinet were selected from the Ministry of Rites, and most of the officials in the Ministry of Rites were responsible for teaching the royal family, so it was the turn of the Ministry of Rites to be the head of the six departments.
The current Ministry of Personnel is the first of the six, and Zheng Xiong is right.
Zheng Yiyan was very happy when she heard Zheng Xiong's words. She obviously beat her chest and promised that it wouldn't work, but she also gave Zheng Xiong a promise.
"Don't worry, I have watched you come all the way. You have achieved so much in just a few years, and you will definitely surpass me in the future."
"As long as you work hard and don't make mistakes, others who want to cause trouble for you have to ask me first. It's hard to say anything else, but I can guarantee you fairness."
Although Zheng Yiyan's words were not obviously protective, this guarantee had fully demonstrated his meaning.
Although Zheng Xiong just said this, it doesn't matter whether the official is big or small, but along the way, although Zheng Yiyan was not of much help, letting Zheng Xiong manage the pharmacy was the biggest help. He was also grateful to Zheng Yiyan and expressed his stance immediately .
"Thank you very much, sir. It's enough to give your subordinates a fair environment. I don't dare to expect too much."
"While I was in charge of the pharmacy, I thanked you for taking great care of me. In the future, I will do my best to repay your kindness if you are asked to do so."
Everyone can say good things, and everyone likes to hear them. Whether they can do it is another matter.
At this moment, Zheng Yiyan was very happy. Zheng Xiong was a third-grade but also a super-grade marquis. He could still treat him with such respect. He only felt that Zheng Xiong was a good kid and he would definitely help if he could.
"You, stop talking, let us hand over the matter quickly! I will go to the staff department to report later."
Zheng Yiyan just chatted if he wanted to. If he didn't want to talk, Zheng Xiong didn't say much and just handed over to Zheng Yiyan.
"Sir, is there still enough money in the warehouse? Is there enough food?"
Hearing Zheng Xiong's question, Zheng Yiyan looked at Zheng Xiong with an incomprehensible look. It took a long time before he said anything.
"What money and food? Do you think it's the same as your pharmacy? You'll still be rich at the end of the year."
"I'll tell you the truth! The grain in the storehouse is all grown grain for spring plowing. You can't touch it. We still have a hundred thousand guan. If you save some flowers, you can survive until the summer harvest."
"It will be enough to collect some miscellaneous taxes when the taxes and grains are paid. Anyway, you have to remember that you have to save some money, otherwise this year will be very difficult."
After listening to Zheng Yiyan's words, Zheng Xiong's heart felt cold. One hundred thousand guan was just a little more than what the pharmacy wanted to pay back, maybe a few dozen guan. After all, he was sealed as Yingtian Mansion's governor. It was related to Bao Zheng's play, and Lao Zhu endorsed it, so only a few dozen dollars were left.
In this way, it is no less generous than the warehouse of Yingtian Mansion. No wonder Zheng Yiyan would even lower his face to buy Qiu Feng from the pharmacy. Everything was forced.
"So this pile of documents isn't really interesting! It's just a hundred thousand guan of money to hand over."
Seeing Zheng Xiong's slumped face, Zheng Yiyan also knew Zheng Xiong's character. He was used to spending a lot of money. He was rich. At first glance, Yingtian Funuo was a little depressed with only such a small amount of money.
To avoid misunderstanding, Zheng Yiyan still opened his mouth to explain.
"Don't look at me like this. It's good to leave these for you. I originally planned to keep them for myself, but I didn't use them."
"Now that I have given you an advantage, you should be satisfied. You must know that the last governor left me only a clean warehouse with no mice. Now there are so many left, but they were all saved by me, so you can steal them." Smile!"
"Don't be stunned, take a look and sign quickly!"
Well, after hearing what Zheng Yiyan said, Zheng Xiong had no temper, so what did he have to say to Lao Zhu and these poor ghosts?
They don't have much to pursue. They just need to ensure production and let the people have food to eat. It's enough not to rebel.
It's useless to ask them about the economy.
"Sir, there is no need to read. I will sign it now."
Whether it's out of trust or because Zheng Xiong doesn't like these things, it doesn't matter.
Zheng Xiong was not a serious person, so he saved a lot of trouble. After the handover was completed, Zheng Yiyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, as for these things, I have to report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Come and sit down when you have time and take a look at my old bones."
Zheng Yiyan was polite, and Zheng Xiong responded politely.
"Dare to disobey orders."
"Sir, it's almost noon, why don't you stay and go to the restaurant at the door to have something to eat."
Zheng Xiong was just polite, but Zheng Yiyan nodded happily.
There's nothing else to say, the kid has made up his mind.
"Okay! We just have a chat again~"
