Chapter 133

Tangning was naturally very happy that the flintlock gun was about to be put into mass production, but the appearance of another person brought Tangning another surprise.

This person is Yu Jackie, an eternally famous official. Tang Ning was not so happy when Wang Fuzhi, a great thinker, came to vote.

Because in this era, Tangning only knew this official who was honest and upright, and his name would last forever, so Yu Chenglong's role was irreplaceable for Tangning.

From the moment Tang Ning intervened in government affairs, he had been looking forward to this person's appearance, because Tang Ning himself did not have the ability or energy to make the local officials under his jurisdiction clean.

During this period of time, Tangning killed, dismissed, or dismissed many officials.

Although this made the people applaud, it did not fundamentally solve the problem.

It is true that the officialdom in Daming is too corrupt nowadays, and it is difficult to find a few honest and capable officials from top to bottom.

It's impossible to bring all these people together, it will only cause more problems, so Tangning can only find some typical rectification methods, and the results are far less than expected.

If Yu Chenglong hadn't been too far away from Guangdong, Tangning would have sent people from the intelligence department to Shanxi to find him.

But I really didn't expect that he himself came here not far away.

Yu Chenglong is from Shanxi. At this time, Shanxi has been basically occupied by the Qing army. Yu Chenglong, who is a member of the Li people, really wants to do something for this chaotic world.

He knew that if he wanted to make a real career, he had to enter the officialdom, so he took the imperial examinations again and again.

But because of his straightforward personality and unwillingness to bribe the examiners, he failed the rankings again and again, so now Yu Chenglong still achieves nothing.

By chance, Yu Chenglong heard about Chaozhou Mansion from a Shanxi businessman, and was immediately attracted by the sights of Chaozhou Mansion.

Shanxi is located between Shaanxi and the capital, and Yu Chenglong has seen too much corruption in Ming Dynasty and peasant uprisings in the north.

He thought that the huge Ming Dynasty could not find a place where the people could live and work in peace, and he felt very miserable.

However, Chaozhou Mansion suddenly appeared like a bright light, illuminating the whole Daming and Yu Chenglong's fiery heart.

No matter whether the things in Chaozhou Mansion are as true as the rumors say, Yu Chenglong decided to come and have a look, distance can't stop his tenacious heart.

In the official history, Yu Jackie became an official for the first time when he went to Dangzhi County, an extremely poor and chaotic small county in Guangxi. He was not intimidated by difficulties and distances.

Now, he has nothing, so what scruples do he have?

I just hope that the Chaozhou government, as rumored, does not judge heroes by their backgrounds, as long as they have ambition and ability, they can display their talents.

But even so, Yu Chenglong's heart was still a little uneasy, because he felt that apart from reading some books, he didn't have much ability.

This worry was quickly suppressed by him. Even if he could not make his mark in Chaozhou Prefecture, he was still young, and he could still study in Chaozhou College, which is full of talents. I believe there will always be a bright future.

So, Yu Chenglong bid farewell to his family, took some dry food and went into battle lightly, and set off.

After eating and sleeping all the way, after countless difficulties and obstacles, I finally arrived at Chaozhou Prefecture.

Different from the state capitals he passed along the way, as soon as he entered Chaozhou City, Yu Chenglong was attracted by the vibrant scene of Chaozhou City, and suddenly felt that the rumors were true.

Yu Chenglong's idea at the beginning was to study at Chaozhou College, and then look for an opportunity to enter the officialdom.

With his knowledge, he successfully entered Chaozhou College.

But just two days after class, he was called out by the teacher, and then invited away by several people.

If it weren't for these people's kind treatment, Yu Chenglong would have suspected that he had committed something, but he thought that he had done nothing at all.

Xiao Wu told Tangning immediately about Jackie Chan's appearance at Chaozhou College. Tangning immediately put down what she was doing and arranged for Jackie Chan to come over.

If it was in the Juxian Tower, Tangning would have gone there in person, but it was a college. If he went to meet a student in person and arranged the student in a position where he wanted him to stay, the impact might not be very good.

Besides, with Yu Jackie's current status, it would not be considered neglectful for Tangning to send someone to invite him to the Tang residence.

When he appeared at the gate of the Tang Mansion, Yu Chenglong wondered if he had gone to the wrong place, so he looked suspiciously at the few people who came with him.

"Mr. Yu, please, our adults want to see you in person." One of them smiled and cupped his hands.

At this moment, a young man came out from the wide gate, it was Xiao Wu, and several of them hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Master Shen."

Xiao Wu's original name was Shen Xiaolong, Xiao Wu was only called Xiao Wu in private by his family, Tang Ning and his wife, and Song Yunwan.

"Back off, I'll take Mr. Yu in."

"Yes, my lord." Several people hurriedly obeyed and left.

Yu Chenglong was a little dazed, until Xiao Wu politely made a gesture of invitation to him before reacting, and followed Xiao Wu into the Tang Mansion with some anxiety.

In fact, Xiao Wu didn't know why his family attached so much importance to such a little-known person, who couldn't be compared with other people on the list.

As the current head of the Intelligence Department of the New Army, he naturally checked Jackie Chan's information. He has participated in the imperial examinations for years, and almost [-] people have not won the exams. It can be said that he has accomplished nothing.

But my lord not only listed this person on the list, but also ranked him in the top six, which shows that he attaches great importance to this person.

Although he couldn't figure out the reason, Xiao Wu didn't doubt the eyes of his adults at all, so he was more concerned about this person.

But Shanxi is too far away from Chaozhou Prefecture, and Yu Jackie Chan's reputation is not obvious, and Shanxi is in the midst of war.

It is really not easy to find such a person in the huge Yongning Prefecture of Shanxi Province, so more than a month has passed, but nothing has been found.

Unexpectedly, there is nowhere to look for after breaking through the iron shoes, and it took no effort to find this person in Chaozhou College.

Xiao Wu, who got the news, still didn't believe it at the time. It wasn't until he got Yu Chenglong's student status and passport information that he confirmed that this person was Yu Chenglong he was looking for, and the current scene happened.

In the main room of the Tang Manor, Tangning was already waiting. Seeing Xiao Wu bring in a thin middle-aged man with dark skin, he knew that this person should be Yu Jackie.

In fact, Yu Chenglong is less than 30 years old now, and he can't be called a middle-aged person at all, but he looks more mature in appearance.

He just rushed to Guangdong from Shanxi thousands of miles away a few days ago. From summer to late autumn, it is normal that he has not recovered from the wind, food and sleep for several months.

Seeing the young man sitting in the middle of the main room, although he had never seen him before, Yu Chenglong immediately guessed who it was.

Xiao Wu was about to introduce Tangning to Yu Chenglong, but when he saw Yu Chenglong knelt down and saluted, "Yu Chenglong, a grassroots man, met Mr. Tang."

Tangning was slightly taken aback, but then said, "Mr. Yu, you're welcome, please get up."

Yu Chenglong raised his head and saw Tangning nodded slightly, thanked him before getting up.

Tangning pointed to the seat next to her and said, "Please sit down."

"My lord..." Yu Chenglong hesitated.

Tangning smiled and said, "I don't stick to these etiquettes. Those who are capable deserve my courtesy from Tangning."

Hearing this, Yu Chenglong was even more disturbed, because he felt that Mr. Tang must have made a mistake. He has not accomplished anything now, so where did he come from?
