Great Ming Dynasty Wen Chao Gong

Chapter 3 Shopkeeper Ding’s admiration
  Zhang Xiao couldn't go home right away, so he went back to a room in a roundabout way.

But this room is much better than the previous one. It has all the furniture and meals. Zhang Xiao sat down after eating and drinking.

I came here in confusion and fear, but I went back with confidence. However, the factory guard had a beginning and an end, and the next morning he woke up and took him home again in a carriage.

"Mr. Zhang, your official duties were here before. Now you can go home." The cold voice of Jin Yiwei was still in my ears, but the tone was much better.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Zhang Xiao bowed and quickly got out of the car.

After returning to his home, Zhang Xiao looked up and saw, good guy, the door was actually installed and replaced with a new one. No wonder the guy from Jinyiwei gave him a key before.

Zhang Xiao opened the door. The room was neat and tidy, and it felt like every inch and corner had been searched.

Zhang Xiao walked to the desk. In the middle of the desk were several volumes of "Collected Commentary on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books". The pen, ink, paper and inkstone had also been replaced with the latest ones. The manuscripts of various novels written by me are also neatly coded, especially the manuscript of "Song of Cid" is placed in the most eye-catching position, which is really thoughtful. But how can I be in the mood to write now?

Zhang Xiao scratched his head. He seemed to have forgotten something. Damn it, he had to go to work today! Now I have five days off, and I haven't asked for leave these two days. Even though I changed to a new unit due to unexpected circumstances, I still have to talk to the original unit.

Zhang Xiao quickly changed his clothes and hurried to Shuntianfu Yamen.

He ran all the way into the yamen and came to the wing where his department was located. Zhang Xiao was about to enter the room and find his desk to sit down, but found that everyone was looking at him as if he was a ghost. Especially his immediate superior, Wu Youde, the general judge in charge of money and food.

"Master Tongpan, I..."

"Needless to say, we all know it. Just come back. Someone will help you move your things back later." Wu Tongpan replied.

Zhang Xiao nodded, went to his desk and sat down. The place was also neatly packed, and his things were still there, but the official documents and information on them had long since disappeared. Zhang Xiao sat down hard and his colleagues were busy working in harmony. Just after experiencing these unusual two days and nights, my work and life have become completely different.

"Zhang Xiao, let's go sit in the tea room. Someone has taken over your work. Let's talk about something personal." Just when Zhang Xiao was feeling uneasy, Wu Tongpan came over.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu." Zhang Xiao said.

"Wu doesn't dare to bear the title of master," Wu Tongpian said.

The two of them walked to the tea room one after the other, silent all the way.

When we arrived at the tea room, there was already a pot of hot tea brewed.

"Zhang Hanlin came to Shuntian Mansion for inspection. The two masters, Fu Yin and Fu Cheng, are not available, so I asked my subordinates to come and serve you tea. The Hanlin Academy is a place where nobles and nobles can raise their hopes. It will have a bright future in the future."

"Wu Tongpan..." Zhang Xiao took the tea blankly.

"Zhang Hanlin, you don't have to be polite, just call me Wu Tongpian." Wu Tongpian poured the tea and sat down.

"I can't thank you enough for Wu Tongpan's care over the past two years." Zhang Xiao's words are genuine. In the past two years, this Shangguan has often taken care of him. Apart from anything else, this former boss helped rent the house he rented.

"Zhang Hanlin, you are also a man of great talent. The Arabic numerals, fan charts, line charts, report statistics, and other functions you can come up with are indeed useful. It makes the calculation of money and food much easier. I originally had to plan I recommended you to the governor again, but you have had this adventure, and I am very happy for you. I thought you were just doing novels, but it turns out I am superficial." Wu Tongpan said.

"Ashamed, ashamed, this is all a fluke." Zhang Xiao replied. "But since Zhang Hanlin is back, go and have a look at Shopkeeper Ding. I saw him pacing outside the Yamen yesterday and didn't dare to come in."

"As this happened, let me go and see shopkeeper Ding." Zhang Xiao thanked him and walked to Ding's bookstore.

After walking around a few streets, Zhang Xiao came to the Ding's Bookstore. The Ding's Bookstore, which used to be bustling with traffic, is now closed.

"Is shopkeeper Ding here?" Zhang Xiao knocked on the door and asked.

"Who? Zhang Xiao, is it you?!" The door inside opened, and shopkeeper Ding pulled Zhang Xiao in and quickly closed the door.

"Shopkeeper Ding, I'm the one who got you involved." I didn't notice it when I first came in, but now that I looked closely, there seemed to be some bruises on Shopkeeper Ding's face. It seems that Jin Yiwei is polite enough to him.

"Hey, I'm unlucky. I originally expected your book to make the business popular, but I didn't expect Feiyu Sui to be provoked. Wait, how did you get out? Are you okay?" Shopkeeper Ding still looked at Zhang Xiao as if he had seen a ghost.

"I met with the Holy One. The Holy One asked me some questions, gave me a thousand taels of silver, and asked me to work as an errand in the Hanlin Academy and then write a book. Do you believe what I say?" Zhang Xiao said helplessly. There is no other way. What happened in the past two days is something I would not dare to write about in a novel. But I came from time travel, so I'm fine.

"I didn't expect that the Hanlin Academy is a place where Wenquxing can only go to the earth. Now I also know Wenquxing. Now the common people should call you Mr. Zhang."

"You're welcome, I'm here to tell you about the royalties and what's next."

"No problem, no problem. I'm going to call all the guys back now. What about the royalties? This bookstore is also yours. If you want to become a shareholder, what about the money? Just because of your literary name, Mr. Zhang, I will give it to you. Half of the dry shares, you can give me the rest if the price is right..."

……

Imperial Palace, inside Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Prime Minister Shen, this case cannot be made. The Hanlin Academy is a place where scholars can raise their hopes, and it is also involved in national affairs. Non-common people cannot enter the Hanlin Academy, and non-Hanlin people can rarely enter the cabinet. This Zhang Xiao can be favored by the emperor. This Of course he has talent and learning, but he is just a minor official in Shuntian Mansion and has no imperial examination achievements." Wang Xijue said eagerly to the first assistant Shen Shixing.

"Yuan Yu, you have been in charge of the Hanlin Academy for many years, and you are already a bachelor. Don't be so impatient. We just mentioned the matter of national foundation to the emperor in the first month of the year, and the emperor agreed. Now the emperor is just a We are asked to do such a small thing, why should we be so disrespectful?" Shen Shixing said leisurely.

"However, the Hanlin Academy is a place where scholars can raise their hopes. If word spreads that one can enter the Hanlin without taking the imperial examination, we will be ridiculed by all the scholars. There are so many yamen in the capital, why does it have to be the Hanlin Academy." Wang Xijue is still a little bit. Not convinced.

"Yuan Yu, how many of Zhang Xiao's books have you read? You mentioned the previous book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to me." Shen Shixing asked.

"I have read all his books, including the unfinished "Cid's Song". Although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is written by a novelist, the language is elegant and he knows quite a lot about the classics. Although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has the great purpose of expelling the barbarians, it does not pay much attention to the status of teachers and students, and the protection between men and women, falling behind. As for "The Song of Xide", it is about the Kingdom of Folangji. I don’t know much about Xiyi in ancient times, but Xide is considered a loyal person, so this book is probably not bad." Wang Xijue thought for a moment and said.

"Then Zhang Xiao is also a person who knows the feelings of the barbarians. This is also a rare talent. To put it bluntly, the Hanlin Academy is also a place for repairing books. If he can compile the history of the barbarians, he is also checking for and filling in the gaps for us. In recent years, Fo Langji People in the Guangdong coastal area are not honest, and they occupied Luzon Island a few days ago. Most of the interpreters in our Siyi Pavilion are Mongolian, Tibetan, and Huiyu, but not many can speak Folangji." Shen Shixing said.

"Prime Minister Shen has a high opinion, but how will Zhang Xiao be accommodated after he enters the Hanlin Academy? His Majesty ordered him to come to the Hanlin Academy for training, organize and proofread books, and give him time. His Majesty also wants to read what he writes. Then Do you care or not?" Wang Xijue had a headache.

"Then give it to the Hanlin Academy for review. From the seventh grade, studying the history of Western Yi is also studying history. If he is commuting to and from get off work, just ask him to take leave if he has something to do. This person can now go directly to the Holy Listening, you have to bear in mind." Xing ordered.
