Chapter 269 Mr. Xiaoge was unhappy
“Asshole! What did you say?”
After Yan Shifan heard the news from Luo Longwen in his small courtyard in the east building, he was immediately furious and couldn’t bear it. The commander smashed a pair of white jade walnuts that he had been playing with for a long time on the ground.
Speaking of Panyu Walnuts, it is not Yan Shifan’s hobby. His hobbies are actually very vulgar, either money, beauties, or bullying others.
So it was because of his arrogant personality and lack of restraint, coupled with Yan Song's repeated teachings and reprimands, that Yan Shifan had some twisted psychology.
He thought that as long as he behaved like a gentle and educated man, he would be able to pass the test in his father's eyes, so he imitated other people's platters of jade walnuts, thinking of using this to train his mind.
Unfortunately, his approach is just metaphysical self-deception after all.
Because when he felt like he was pretending, he got even more serious.
So these two jade walnuts naturally suffered a disaster. They were originally good, but now they are incomplete.
Luo Longwen felt heartbroken when he looked at the walnuts smashed by Yan Shifan.
These two white jade walnuts were purchased with a lot of money. They were carved from fine mutton-fat jade and did not contain any variegation. They were a pair of rare treasures.
The result was that it was scrapped before it was given to Yan Shifan for a long time. Can he not feel distressed?
But no matter how distressed he felt, he couldn't show it.
Luo Longwen said: "Don't be upset, Mr. Xiaoge. Since Mr. Xiaoge doesn't like this pair of jade walnuts, I will find you something you like."
Yan Shifan listened to Luo Wenlong He couldn't help but roll his eyes at these words, "What's the use of these things? Can't I get them myself? What I'm angry about right now is why Hai Rui found King Jing, and why no one came forward for such a big thing. Tell me?”
Luo Longwen stood aside in embarrassment. To be honest, he didn't know that Hai Rui would go to see King Jing. He just went to deliver ink on Yan Shifan's behalf a few times, and there was no way he had anything to do with King Jing.
Furthermore, Prince Jing’s character is still so conceited and proud. A person like Luo Longwen, who comes from a lowly background, will never be looked upon differently by Prince Jing, so no one will inform him about the affairs of Prince Jing’s Mansion.
But since Yan Shifan asked about this matter, Luo Longwen naturally had to answer, let alone shirk the blame.
Luo Longwen said: "Old Xiaoge, King Jing has just recovered from his serious illness. When he met Hai Rui, he must have done it because of the expansion of the capital. Who in the capital now doesn't know that this contribution that originally belonged to King Jing has now been taken by King Yu? Take it. And Hai Rui is still under Prince Yu, and he has been in the limelight in the Ministry of Household Affairs and Industry during this period. Prince Jing must be looking for trouble with him. Therefore, Prince Jing should give Hai Rui a warning when he sees Hai Rui. "
Luo Longwen said this with certainty. After hearing this, Yan Shifan also looked at Luo Longwen suspiciously, "Is that true? "
Luo Longwen said: "It must be so, Mr. Xiaoge. How old is King Jing? He is just a fifteen-year-old child, and he is many times smarter than the dull King Yu. So, he must be You're looking for trouble with Hai Rui."
After listening to Luo Longwen's analysis, Yan Shifan couldn't help but stroke the mustache under his round chin and thought for a while, "That makes sense, King Jing is smart, and King Yu is. Stupid. Although Prince Yu now has Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, two dabblers from the Hanlin Academy, I know their thoughts and methods very well."
"It's nothing more than instigating Yu. What kind of righteousness does the king have to teach him to say a few beautiful words to make the emperor happy, thinking that he can get the position of the East Palace? What a wishful thinking!" Yan Shifan was influenced by Luo Longwen's thinking, and he also thought about it smartly, thinking that Yu Everything Wang is doing now is just the instigation of Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others.
Yan Shifan said again: "In this case, I can't be idle anymore, and I have to work harder for King Jing. Let Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng think they are smart. Let’s take a look at what wisdom is!”
Yan Shifan looked at Luo Longwen and said: "Go to Hai Rui and tell him that I have time, and ask him to come to the Ministry of Industry to find me tomorrow. Since he wants the supervisory authority over the capital's expansion of silver, I will give it to him. I Let’s see how he will supervise the money.”
When Yan Shifan said this, he couldn’t help but reveal a sinister smile.
In his opinion, what if the money was supervised by Hai Rui?
Every important project in the capital was not built by someone from the Ministry of Industry. Although the Construction Bureau in the palace also has many construction workers, these people are only good at subsequent carving and painting. Just do some small and detailed work on the palace or temple that has been built.
Really big project construction depends on the ability of the Ministry of Industry!
Therefore, how the money for the capital's expansion will be spent in the future is beyond the control of supervision. Doesn't it have to depend on the Ministry of Industry's reimbursement?
When Luo Longwen heard that Yan Shifan wanted to see Hai Rui, the stone in his heart suddenly dropped, and he was able to pass the test safely.
Luo Longwen looked at Yan Shifan who was in a better mood at this time, and he said again: "Old Xiao Ge, do you need me to visit Prince Jing again?"
Yan Shifan looked at Luo Longwen was very satisfied with such a positive attitude, so he nodded and said: "Go, bring some good supplements, and take a good look at King Jing. He will be our backer and cash cow in the future."
< br>Luo Longwen immediately replied: "Yes, I will go and prepare now."
Yan Shifan looked at such a sensible Luo Longwen, and felt happy again, and then asked: "How was your chat with Yan Maoqing last time when you went there?"
Luo Wenlong said: "Don't worry, Xiaoge. , Yan Yanshi knew Lao Xiaoge’s intentions very well, and has secretly sent the silver to your hometown in Ji’an by boat.”
When Yan Shifan heard this, he immediately laughed again, “Hey, you guys know it every day. Give me a difficult problem. The silver cellar you wanted to dig last time has not been dug yet, and now you have sent another ship. Doesn’t this mean that I have to spend money to dig another silver cellar? "
Luo Longwen listened. Hearing Yan Shifan's words, he immediately smiled flatteringly, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao Ge, Yan Yan has sent some strong men with the ship this time. When the time comes, these men will dig out silver for you." The wages are all counted towards the expenses of the salt administration."
Yan Shifan was even happier when he heard this, "It would be better if you guys understand me. If those people who come to me every day can be so sensible. How wonderful!”
Yan Shifan's face became a little unhappy when he said this, because he suddenly thought that a person who had followed his father's path would not give him face. This really made Yan Shifan very unhappy.
Yan Shifan said: "In the future, when that Hu Zongxian comes to visit, you will stop him a few times so that he can remember it. This old boy wants to be promoted but he is so ignorant. Is it possible that all officials in the imperial court can do this so easily? Are you going out? If you have to be like him, how can I keep a bowl of water flat?"
