Now that the matter at the house has come to an end, Chen Kan has lost a lot of his worries.
Seeing that Yuncheng was still standing respectfully waiting for his instructions, Chen Kan crossed his legs and ordered: "I heard that there must be a sense of ceremony on the first day of moving to a new house. Are you ready?"
"ah?"
"Young Master, please forgive me, this sense of ceremony..."
Yuncheng was a little confused. What was the sense of ceremony?
"Forget it, I know you haven't heard of it. Let the cooks start the fire once. I want to try their skills."
Chen Kan gave the order, and Yuncheng ran out all the way.
Looking at Yun Cheng's back, Chen Kan adjusted himself to a comfortable sitting position and waited quietly for the meal.
It doesn't matter if Chen Kan is moving to a new house, but the chef's skills must be carefully tested.
His requirements are not high, as long as he can reach the level of the fat cook in Jinyiwei.
In just a short time of tea, the new maids, led by Yun Cheng, brought the food prepared by the cook to the table.
Chen Kan felt a little disappointed when he saw that the maids invited by Yuncheng all looked like bean sprouts, with sallow complexions and thin muscles.
The big world cannot be seen anymore.
It seems that Yuncheng doesn't know what beauty means.
Of course, Chen Kan was too embarrassed to say some things, so he had to taste some of each food with a grimace.
The food is neither unpleasant nor delicious, it can only be considered normal.
Considering that it was the first day of moving to a new home, Chen Kan didn't comment on all this with vicious comments.
After walking around the house under Yuncheng's service, he got into the study and got busy.
When Chen Kan put the memorial for the Yongle Grand Ceremony into his arms, an hour had passed. Patting the fold in his arms, he walked out the door with satisfaction and headed towards the location of the official department.
The warriors guarding the Hongwu Gate were still the same two familiar faces. Chen Kan took out his tooth tag and flashed it in front of their eyes, and stepped into the gate very arrogantly.
Dude, you stopped me from going out at first, but now I can come in whenever I want and come out whenever I want. If you can, hit me!
Why did Chen Kan come to the Ministry of Personnel?
Very simply, he decided to ask Fang Xiaoru to propose marriage on his behalf.
Because the person he is now is different from the person he was when he first fell in love with Zhu Yuelan.
At that time, he wanted money but not money, wanted power but not power, and was still just a worm living in someone else's house.
Now he has a huge fortune, wants money, has power, and most importantly, is so handsome.
Now Chen Kan is definitely qualified to run to Fengtian Hall and shout out the famous saying "Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty!"
"What reason do you, Zhu Di, have for not marrying your daughter to me?"
In the lobby of the Ministry of Personnel, Fang Xiaoru was looking through the files of Yunnan Chengxuan Chief Secretary.
When the Ministry of Civil Affairs approves the performance of local officials every year, officials in border areas such as Yunnan are the most difficult to approve because officials in border areas change very quickly.
Or should I say died very quickly.
During the Hongwu period, after generals such as Fu Youde and Mu Ying led their troops to conquer Yunnan, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang adopted a notification policy in Yunnan: "Contract the government and build the palace, and the army will suppress it."
A large number of military garrison stations were set up in Yunnan, and Han people were relocated on a large scale from Yingtianfu, Chengxuanzhengsi and other levels in Shanxi to fill the places in Yunnan.
Such a high-pressure policy led to the rapid intensification of conflicts between the Han people and the Yunnan chieftains. It was difficult for the Yunnan chieftains to use their brains to outwit the cunning Han people, so they would choose the most direct method, using a knife to talk. reason.
Therefore, becoming an official in Yunnan was definitely a high-risk occupation in the Ming Dynasty.
Every time the Ministry of Personnel conducts inspections in Beijing, a very outrageous phenomenon occurs. Officials from the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan had excellent performance in the last evaluation. When their performance was determined for the second time and they were planned to be promoted, they all Gone.
It's just so outrageous.
This time in Beijing, His Majesty wants a major change in the local officialdom, and the workload of the staff has increased a lot.
So Fang Xiaoru simply formulated a method of approving the officials in the southwestern region first, then the officials in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains.
The first stop Fang Xiaoru chose was Yunnan.
Fang Xiaoru was watching intently when he heard an official come to report that a young man who claimed to be his student wanted to see him.
"Why is this little bastard here?"
Fang Xiaoru put down the file in his hand and ordered: "Let him come in."
Of course, Chen Kan would definitely not be so abiding by the rules. As soon as Fang Xiaoru finished speaking, Chen Kan's figure had already appeared in the lobby of the official department.
After glancing around at the officials in the staff hall, Chen Kan raised his hands and fists towards them in a friendly manner.
But only Chen Qia, the minister of official affairs, returned the gift.
Chen Kan didn't care. When he came to Fang Xiaoru, he consciously pulled out the stool and sat aside.
Fang Xiaoru was so angry at Chen Kan's rudeness that he blew his beard and glared, scolding: "If you don't go to the Five Cities Army and Horses Division to take up the post, why are you here causing trouble?"
Chen Kan said with a playful smile: "Don't I have something to ask you for?"
Fang Xiaoru frowned and said, "If you have anything to do, wait until I get off work!"
Chen Kan reached for the file on the desk and whispered: "This is a big deal. The student would like to ask you to ask for a marriage from His Majesty."
"Huh?"
Fang Xiaoru let out a light sigh, then looked at Chen Kan suspiciously and said, "Princess Chang Ning?"
Chen Kan's attention was attracted by the contents of the file. In response to Fang Xiaoru's question, he responded without looking back: "Yes!"
Fang Xiaoru asked: "Now?"
Chen Kan nodded again: "Yes!"
Fang Xiaoru's expression calmed down, and Chen Kan tilted his head and smiled and said, "Sorry for the trouble, teacher."
"You should know that even if I go to propose marriage for you in person, His Majesty may not agree."
Fang Xiaoru sat up straight, with an unprecedented serious expression on his face.
"Students know, but they have to give it a try. In addition, students suddenly have a bold idea."
Chen Kan waved the file in his hand with an evil smile on his face.
No, the opportunity to make meritorious deeds has come again.
In Yunnan alone, the imperial court established nearly 600 chieftains. Isn't this encouraging chieftains to rebel and encourage chieftains to fight and kill each other?
If this continues, there will be trouble in Yunnan if there is no chaos.
Seeing the densely packed names of chieftains on the file, Chen Kan laughed wildly in his heart: "I, Chen Kan, am responsible for the reform of Tuguiliu!"
After coming back to his senses, Chen Kan licked his face and said: "Teacher, the student has no chance of having three wives or four concubines in this life. He only loves Her Highness the Princess endlessly, and asks the teacher to fulfill the student's small request."
Fang Xiaoru knew his student very well. The more he smiled playfully, the more seriously he took this matter.
Sighing helplessly, he asked: "Are you going to let me go to propose marriage for you empty-handed?"
