325 OK, OK, OK!

Bai Minghe got off the carriage, and four people in his guards entered the imperial gate of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites and checked everywhere.

People from Nanjing’s Ministry of Rites just watched this kind of unruly behavior, just pretending that they didn’t see it.

Bai Minghe and Xiao Lie got off the carriage together, but Xiao Lie reached out and grabbed Bai Minghe: "There is no credibility, and the words are written in black and white!"

"What?" Bai Minghe didn't understand.

"You said that this is a good thing for the new department of the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue. I responded to the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue. But you said it without any evidence and you have to make a certificate. I am afraid that you will regret it in the future. At that time, only you and I will talk about it, so if you regret it, I will ask for whom to reason with it." Xiao Yu said seriously.

Bai Minghe asked back: "Do you think I am a person who is untrustworthy?"

"It's just that the matter is serious. Although Bai Minghe has a very good reputation, if something happens to happen, if it is not your responsibility, you will always do your best to help you with a document. Otherwise, you may be able to refuse. It would be better to make a book as a proof!" Xiao Wei still did not mean to let Bai Minghe go.

"Okay, but it's not possible now. You have to come out of the Ministry of Rites and do the same thing."

"I'm following you." Xiao Wei sorted out his official uniform and walked towards the Ministry of Rites with Bai Minghe.

The people from the Ministry of Rites saw this scene just now, but they didn't see it. They were the most idle officials in the entire Ming Dynasty, absolutely no one. Although Nanjing academicians and the Ministry of Rites were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, they were much busier than them. If the people from the Ministry of Rites did not take the initiative to move forward during the provincial examination, they could be said to have been idle for decades.

Meeting the Minister of Rites, Zhang Feng.

This person is also a wonderful person. He can be said to be the first person to write a letter to ask for tax increases in the Ming Dynasty.

He once wrote twelve consecutive books in a month, starting from land reclamation, increasing yield per mu, increasing taxes, and requiring the reserve of two million stones of food and grass for Nanjing. The only person who supported him was Jin Lian, the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who unfortunately his theory did not receive support from others.

Those who can be sent to the Six Ministry of Nanjing are considered to be disappointed in their careers.

After meeting, Bai Minghe performed the ceremony of a senior official according to his official position. Zhang Feng did not say much when he returned the ceremony, but just invited Bai Minghe and Xiao Yu to the main hall together. Then several officials from the Ministry of Rites with high responsibilities were accompanying him.

The white-known crane did not come empty-handed, and gave a gift list with both hands: "Although the official examination is not the national examination, there are many people. It is really uneasy to work for all the workers. There are many expenses for organizing the examination, whether it is the venue or the staff. The younger generation does not know how to calculate it. Please accept these wishes with a smile!"

"Okay!" Zhang Feng was not polite, and took the gift list and gave it to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The Left Minister opened the gift list and took a look. The first line was written with gold and five stones. He immediately pressed his hand on his heart. He was a little excited and felt that his heart disease was about to occur. He quickly closed the gift list, but he didn't even dare to read the contents behind it.

Zhang Feng still looked calm, even if he guessed that this gift list would not be light.

"I have some ideas. According to Mr. Gao's suggestion, let me listen to your opinions from Lord Zhang. At this time, I also need a national document. Please show it!" Bai Minghe handed over the revised document with both hands.

Zhang Feng took it and looked carefully. After reading it, he immediately pressed his official seal on it. Then he answered Bai Minghe: "This matter can be done!"

This time the answer is more than the last time, and the focus is only one word.

Bai Minghe was a little confused. Such people who didn't speak might be difficult to deal with. What he was thinking in his heart could not be guessed by guessing it.

"There is another thing, I want to discuss with you. This official examination can be selected for the country to help the country's strength. Although it is not as profound as those who have obtained the normal imperial examination, the ancients also said that the elders think they are pillars and the shorts think they are archers. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty still needs some archers. The younger generation wants to do some archers in Nanjing. Those who fail to be elected or others want to use official examinations, teach some practical skills and can also take the exam again next year."

Bai Minghe finished speaking. He stared at Zhang Feng and observed Zhang Feng's reaction.

Zhang Feng grabbed his thigh with all his hands. If Gao Gu hadn't taught him in advance, Bai Minghe would have welcomed him politely and then put his score in full, there would have been unexpected benefits. He would have been shouting at this time.

What pillars and arches?

People from Nanjing’s Ministry of Rites only said that their right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites was compared by the knowledge of the boatmen on the dock. Don’t you know about this?

In your white-name crane's eyes, I'm afraid these officials are more useful than some officials.

But facing Bai Minghe, Zhang Feng still tried hard to keep calm: "This matter is OK!"

This is agreed, without conditions and no ideas. There is no need to discuss the details. What should I do if I say what to do?

No, it can't be like this. If there is no communication, it will be over just these three sentences. Bai Minghe feels uneasy.

I am afraid that the Nanjing Ministry of Rites would agree, but in fact I didn’t do anything.

Bai Minghe thought about it and said, "There is another thing. I want to ask you, senior. In Danang, I have enclosed a small piece of land, but not big, only more than 40 acres. I built a garden, which was named the Ming Consulate. Then I also enclose a piece of land in the Nanzhang Royal City and the Siam Royal City. These two are larger, one is 70 acres and the other is 90 acres. I am also building a garden, called the Ming Embassy Hall. Then I also set up an area in the capital. According to the style of Siam and Nanzhang, each of them is built, namely the Nanzhang Embassy Hall and the Siam Embassy Hall."

Zhang Feng felt a little pain in his heart, and he was almost unable to bear it.

Bai Minghe is already a major event, but according to Bai Minghe, no one inquired about the Ministry of Rites in the capital? Is there no envoys arranged in the Honglu Temple?

"There is another harbor in Siam, and the order is also being selected. Now the younger generation is indeed in a dilemma. Lord Yang Shanyang is naturally dedicated to the public and works hard. It is just that one person is traveling to these four places, which is too hard."

Yang Shan! Yang Dassai?

Yang Shan's face with her upper lip on her forehead and lower lip on her neck flashed in Zhang Feng's head. What else is there on this guy's face besides one mouth?

"Mr. Yang has worked very hard, but the recent work of the Danang Consulate has given people some opinions."

"I wonder what kind of opinion it is?" Zhang Feng couldn't help it. Apart from her mouth, Zhang Feng didn't believe that this person had any talent.

Bai Minghe also breathed a sigh of relief and finally spoke.

"This consulate is not an embassy. No matter what the Ming Dynasty is, the minor affairs of the people outside the Ming Dynasty are always in charge. In Da Nang, there are thousands of merchants, craftsmen, farmers, and scholars. When you go out, you always have to miss your family. Therefore, the first priority of this consulate is to send and receive letters. However, due to improper management, many letters were soaked in water, which made the people have some opinions."

"For the benefit of the people, you should do this seriously. It is human fault for the letter to be soaked in water!" Zhang Feng responded.

"The second priority is to verify the authority of the Ming Dynasty's people outside the country. Some people only have one year's right to stay abroad, so they naturally have to keep files in the consulate after the deadline, but the files are a bit messy. Many people have reached the time to change gears and have not received new documents for more than ten days. Without documents, they cannot open a store or work in Da Nang, which is very troublesome!"

Bai Minghe said slowly.

Zhang Feng is in charge of everything, and there is a rule in everything. Since he is away, he will have to file a record every year, at least prove that this person is still in Da Nang and is still doing things to abide by the rules.

"There are some other important matters, although there are any mistakes, it's fine. There is one thing that the people have a lot of opinions this time."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Feng asked with concern.

"I originally asked for an order, and Long Live also think that although I am outside, thousands of people can compare to a small county. Therefore, I am allowed to hold a course in Da Nang. Because the Ming Dynasty had good friendship with Nanzhang, people in Nanzhang were also allowed to take the exam. I didn't pass the exam last year, because I was not prepared for the first year, which is understandable!"

"No, this Yang Daxiu is a disaster for the country and the people!" Zhang Feng was furious.

Zhang Feng stood up angrily, walked back and forth in front of Bai Minghe for a few times, and shouted at Bai Minghe: "Since it is a county, there are naturally students and the number of children. If he doesn't start school or exam, he will mislead his children."

"Long live the special order. According to the big county regulations, Da Nang will specially approve the addition of 20 Nanzhang students."

The white-known crane explained a sentence next to it.

"How many people are there?" Zhang Feng was very concerned about such things. How many outstanding scholars are there in a county? This is a major event for the country.

"One person passed the exam in Guangdong back then. Later, he followed his father to Da Nang to guard the border. Some people also gave up the exam in the county because they moved to Da Nang with their families. Now they are not ready to start their studies, so they are a little uneasy."

Bai Minghe was just about to make up some reason to describe the uneasiness of these people.

Zhang Feng said anxiously: "Of course I can't feel at ease. This year is the third year of Jingtai. If there is no quota in summer today, then I will not be able to participate in the autumn provincial examination, and I will not be able to participate in the imperial examination the next year. This difference is three years, and I can't afford to delay it. Yang Daxiucai is very harmful!"

Bai Minghe silently claimed a crime in his heart, saying to himself Lord Yang Shan, I hope you don’t scold me in the future.

In fact, Yang Shan didn't care about these things at all. His main task was to contact the powerful and wealthy countries and discuss strategic tasks for Bai Minghe.

"I don't know, what good advice can Lord Zhang have?"

"No good advice is needed. As long as you arrange the available people to manage carefully, this is a practical matter that requires careful management." Zhang Fengxin said that normal officials can do such things well.
