Chapter 339
"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered Chang Wenxuan, the head of the Tuntian Division,...he is conscientious in his work and has made great achievements in the development of rice.

Lan Xi took the imperial decree, and Eunuch Qi smiled and congratulated Lan Xi after awarding the imperial decree. Lan Xi also stuffed the red envelope prepared in advance into Eunuch Qi’s sleeve. Eunuch Qi accepted Lan Xi’s kindness with a smile, and then took A group of people left.

He had thought that he would be promoted, but he didn't expect to be promoted to four ranks in a row. He changed from the chief executive of the eighth rank to the Yuanwailang of the sixth rank.

He Jin beside him smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations to Mr. Chang for his promotion. He will be Yuanwailang of our Tuntian Division in the future. Please take care of him."

The tone of the last sentence is joking. He Jin and Lan Xi have worked together for more than three years, so they naturally know Lan Xi's character, so they dare to joke like this.

If it were someone else, He Jin wouldn't dare.

Lan Xi said with a smile, "In the future, the Tuntian Division will need everyone to work together. I hope to hear the news of everyone's promotion next time."

The people next to him also came to congratulate, even Mr. Qi, who had a bad relationship with Lan Xi, also came to congratulate with a smile. After all, Lan Xi will be his immediate boss in the future, and face is nothing compared to his job.

Lan Xi replied one by one, and then someone sent a message that Master Zhou had come to invite Lan Xi to escape.

Lan Xi was led by the people in front to Mr. Zhou's room. The site of the entire department of the Ministry of Industry was not too small. Lan Xi walked through two small streets and walked into a courtyard, which was where Mr. Zhou usually worked.

When Lan Xi walked in, Mr. Zhou was writing something. When he saw Lan Xi arrived, he put down the brush in his hand and walked to the main hall.

"I've met Mr. Zhou." Lan Xi cupped her hands in salute.

"Excuse me, sit down, I haven't congratulated Master Chang for being promoted to four levels in succession, he is full of spirits, and others are probably going crazy with jealousy." Master Zhou raised the teacup on the main seat, looked at Lan Xi and said.

After Lan Xi sat down, her expression was indifferent, "Thank you Master Zhou for your compliment, but others can only be jealous."

Lan Xi's disdainful words, if those people listened to it, I'm afraid they couldn't help but want to do it.

Mr. Zhou was not surprised either, young people must have some vigor, especially those students who won the exam at a young age, which one of them is not the favored one of heaven.

Master Zhou raised his eyes and took a deep look at Lan Xi, "Master Chang, you know why this time you have been promoted to four levels in a row. This is a rare thing in history."

Lan Xi lowered his eyes and thought for a while. He was thinking about this matter when he received the imperial edict. If he did have merit in this matter, but he shouldn't be promoted to four levels in a row, it would be too dazzling.

"Isn't the emperor attaching great importance to agriculture?" Lan Xi replied.

Master Zhou put down the teacup and made a crisp sound, "Master Chang, there are only the two of us here, so it doesn't matter if we have something to say."

Lan Xi raised her head and glanced at Lord Zhou, "I've always had some doubts about why my lord has always taken care of my subordinates. I think I haven't had any interaction with my lord before."

Master Zhou smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Is there a reason for me to take care of my subordinates in the same department?"

Lan Xi also looked at Master Zhou with a smile, "Master Zhou, there are only two of us here."

Lan Xi boldly returned Master Zhou's words.

Master Zhou paused, and then laughed out loud, "Master Chang is really interesting, but this matter is not important to Master Chang now, and don't be burdened. This is what Master Chang deserves. As long as Master Chang knows, This officer will not harm you, Lord Chang will know the reason in the future."

Lan Xi knew that he couldn't ask the reason today, but he really didn't feel Master Zhou's malice. Instead, he always took good care of him. Presumably, this time the credit can be completely given to him, and Master Zhou is also a good word.

"Why did the emperor give me such a high-profile promotion? One is because I have developed a method to increase rice production, and the other is that I come from a farming family and have no contact with other people in the court."

Lan Xi returned to the original topic, Master Zhou couldn't help nodding after hearing this.

"That's right, it's because Mr. Chang came from an ordinary background. Now that His Majesty is getting older, and there is no crown prince, the ministers below are more or less related to several princes. The royalist party has been wooed by both sides, and the number is gradually decreasing."

"So, at this time, the emperor promoted me to four levels in a row, because he thought I had no foundation in the court. On the one hand, he rewarded me and gave me encouragement.

On the other hand, it is to convey a message to everyone that only by being loyal to the emperor can one gain glory and wealth, and the emperor is the master of this country. "

Lan Xi took the words and analyzed them carefully.

Master Zhou nodded when he heard it, but he had a high opinion of Lan Xi in his heart. Although he did not participate in the court affairs, he had a keen sense of politics.

"That's right, you can think that way, the emperor really wants to establish his prestige, so he ignored the objections of some ministers and directly let you go up to four levels.

Next, you will definitely receive some criticism, and maybe there will be Yu Shijian, so in the next period of time, you must act cautiously and don't be caught by others, otherwise you will go down if the position below you is not hot. "

Lan Xi nodded, "Thank you Master Zhou for letting me know."

This is indeed what I don't understand. After all, I can't get in touch with the internal news of the court. I only rely on the news I usually receive, and then infer it to understand some court affairs.

It must be incomparable with Mr. Zhou, so Lan Xi thanked her sincerely.

Lan Xi had thought about this matter carefully, although she would become a target, and if she was not careful, she could become cannon fodder in the game between the emperor and the ministers, but this was also her own opportunity, just like this matter, after all, she gained a profit.

If you don't pay something, you will worry about taking it.

Today's conversation with Mr. Zhou made Lan Xi feel bored, but who does Mr. Zhou belong to?Lan Xi put a question mark in her heart, and she still needs to check it out by herself.

When Lan Xi arrived at home, the family knew that Lan Xi had been promoted, and they were all overjoyed. Liu Cuie happily cooked and made a meal by herself.

The whole family ate together, and Liu Cuie didn't understand how big Cong Liupin's official was.

It was the second younger sibling, Feng Bihong, who explained to Liu Cuie, "Mother, the official position of elder brother is one level higher than that of the county magistrate of Qingyuan County, that is, the county magistrate has to salute when he sees elder brother."

Feng Bihong's explanation was very simple, which immediately caused Liu Cuie to exclaim, "Hey, the county magistrate has to salute when he sees my eldest son. I haven't met the county magistrate yet, so my eldest son is really promising. Eldest son, how much are you doing?" Eat something, I'm tired and thin."

Chang Wenwu next to him also looked at Lan Xi enviously. As for Chang Linger, he was envious of his elder brother being able to gallop in the officialdom, and now that he was promoted again, he was also happy for his elder brother from the bottom of his heart.

As for Feng Bihong, looking at her eldest brother in amazement, she still understands a little bit. In more than three years, she has been promoted from the eighth rank to the sixth rank.

It can be seen from this that the eldest brother must be extraordinary, and the eldest brother has just passed the age of the crown, and no one knows where he will go in the future.
