Chapter 1030: Supreme Glory (3)
Be it the Bright Brave and Loyalty Armor or the Heaven-cleaving Sword, they were both refined by the Ministry of Works and had been forged hundreds of times. The former was tough, had strong defensive power, and was comfortable to tilt. It did not weigh much on the body and could withstand sabers and swords. Ordinary weapons and arrows would not be able to break through the body’s defense when they landed on the body. The latter was sharp, armor-piercing, and of a very high grade. Even if it was against an inferior-grade Numinous treasure, it could withstand it for a while and would not be easily damaged.
By the time he was done, it was already afternoon.
He brought Ding Yi to the Shangjing government. As for the ZhongTian camp, he would go there after he was done with the matters here.
Standing at the entrance of the government office.
The position they were in was different, and their state of mind was different. In the past, they were just passers-by who had left in a hurry after finishing their business. Now, they appeared as the master.
Tie Changlin had gone through the transfer procedures first and had been waiting at the entrance of the government office. His position was very clear. To be honest, he was also very confused about this promotion from the Ministry of Revenue. He did not know why such a good thing had fallen into his hands. If his teacher (the former Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue) had not retired, it might have been possible. However, he had retired for several years and had no way to advance. He was prepared to work in the Ministry of Revenue until he retired or was transferred. However, reality had given him a huge surprise.
After calming down from his excitement, he thought about the reason. He couldn’t figure it out. After he finished the transfer procedures, he took advantage of this gap to find his teacher and analyze it before coming to a conclusion.
After Chen Youcai and Xu Xing, Shangjing had become the backyard of Zhang Ronghua’s faction and was firmly in their hands. His visit this time should be the Emperor’s intention to let him manage the money and food and assist Zhang Ronghua. After all, he was from the Ministry of Revenue and was good at this.
Find out the reason.
The teacher warned him that this was an opportunity. Although Zhang Ronghua had many political enemies, the opportunity was also great. If he seized it, he would be able to rise up and advance further! If he was afraid, he could hand over his power. With Zhang Ronghua’s character, he would not deliberately target him. No matter if he made a contribution or fell, he would not be implicated.
After some thought.
Tie Changlin had made up his mind. He wanted to be promoted like Chen Youcai until he reached the second rank, or even higher. Even if there was danger, he would protect Zhang Ronghua, judging from his action of saving Wu Jinxiu. Compared to the gains, this sacrifice was completely worth it!
Most importantly, he didn’t want to slack off, be looked down upon by others, be contradicted by his subordinates, and still have to pretend that nothing had happened. That was why this scene had happened.
” Greetings, my lord!” Seeing them arrive, he led a battalion of officials from the government office to welcome them. He bowed with his hands clasped in front.
Apart from them, the county magistrates, chief registrar, and county lieutenant of the four county yamen had also arrived.
The news of Zhang Ronghua’s promotion in the imperial court spread very quickly. He knew that Zhang Ronghua had been promoted and transferred to the Shangjing government. He thought of this terrifying method. He specialized in defeating higher-ups. Now that he had become his immediate superior, if he did not show some enthusiasm now, when would he show it again?
If he were to burn them down or use some small tricks, they would be doomed.
Chen Youcai and Xu Xing’s people were the happiest!
They didn’t need to do anything. They just needed to hold onto Zhang Ronghua’s thigh tightly. This was the big boss of their faction. Now that he was in charge, they would have more confidence in doing things in the future.
This scene was within his expectations.
Zhang Ronghua had already changed into a new civil official uniform. His face was tense, and the huge official pressure made everyone breathless. He nodded in response.
As they walked towards the government office, the crowd hurriedly parted and followed behind.
In the lobby.
He sat in the main seat and spent some time listening to their brief introductions. He asked them to do their jobs and then let them leave.
There were only two people left. One was Tie Changlin, and the other was Governor Liu An. He was not familiar with the former, while the latter was Chen Youcai’s subordinate, an absolute confidant.
Tie Changlin stood up from his chair. His posture was very humble. He did not dare to be arrogant at all.” I will follow your lead from now on!” he declared.
Zhang Ronghua had guessed his reaction.
Ding Yi went to the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue after completing the transfer procedures. He met with Chen Youcai and Xu Xing to figure out the situation in Shangjing. He also investigated Tie Changlin. On the way here, he had already told him.
When he met Emperor Xia in the royal study, although the Emperor had not mentioned it, he had secretly reminded him that the military was the most important and that Ding Yi was keeping an eye on the Shangjing government.
If Tie Changlin was a smart person, he would know what to do. If he didn’t know how to appreciate favors or joined other factions, he could just take care of them.
“With Meng Qing’s help, the burden on my shoulders will be lighter in the future,” he said with a smile.
Meng Qing was Tie Changlin’s surname.
Calling him by his surname was a signal that he had agreed to join me. In the future, it would depend on his performance.
Tie Changlin was delighted.
He tactfully took his leave.
Liu An hurriedly stood up and introduced the situation in Shangjing. With the capital as the center, the surrounding villages and towns were all under his jurisdiction, including the Academy, military affairs, prison, security, warehouses, and so on.
Zhang Ronghua listened very seriously. As the governor of Shangjing, understanding his authority was the most important thing.
“Sir, do you have any requirements for your and Sir Ding’s office?” Liu An asked again.
“Prepare two new rooms,” said Zhang Ronghua.
“Yes, sir!”
Liu An turned around and left.
Ding Yi said,” Brother, the government office is under our control. We also have our people in the four county offices below. They’re practically an iron bucket. How about you leave the military to handle the rest?”
