Wei Qi was overjoyed when he heard that the entire Chushen Medicine Shop was returned to the Wei family instead of being dedicated to the court. Then it was not something from the treasury, but his private property. Just thinking about it made him sleep with joy. Not!

However, he still declined: "Since the ancestors of the Wei family don't want it, I can't ask for it anymore. The Shen family doesn't need to return the medicine store."

Ha, the uncle of the Shen family sneered in his heart... You followed my lie and said that this is something that the ancestors of the Wei family also had a share of, how dare I not return it?

"Your Majesty, the children of the Shen family don't have much ability, but they have been rich and prosperous by taking Chushen medicine for decades. Now your Majesty and all the ministers are working hard to cultivate the country and seek benefits for the people of the world. How can the Shen family be embarrassed? Continue to take medicine to enrich your family? Your Majesty, please take back the medicine shop, otherwise the Shen family will be so ashamed!" The eldest son of the Shen family said, holding up a box of deeds from Chu Shen medicine shop, kneeling on the ground with a look of disdain After taking over the medicine shop, he became so kneeling that he couldn't even stand.

Ning Ji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since the Shen family is determined to return the medicine store to the Wei family, your Majesty, as a son of the Wei family, accept it on behalf of your father and ancestors."

Stop pretending, accept it quickly. If you keep pretending, Wei Xiao will come out and say that there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the army and Zhongzhou and other places, and that Chushen Medicine Store should be collected into the national treasury for the use of the military and civilians, and you will lose this huge private property!

Wei Qi was also afraid that Wei Xiao would come out to disturb the situation, so he hurriedly said: "Since the Shen family sincerely returns the child, I will accept it for my fathers and ancestors."

After Ouchi listened, he hurriedly took away the deed box from Chushen Pharmacy. He first glanced at Wei Qi from half an arm's length. After Wei Qi nodded, he took it to the imperial doctor for a poison test, and then presented it to Wei Qi. Wei Qi looked carefully.

Wei Qi added: "Uncle Shen has been in charge of the medicine store's business of delivering medicine to the military camp all year round. He is familiar with the distribution of medicinal materials in the military camp... How about you go to the Military Medicine Department of the Ministry of War to become a doctor and serve the imperial court?"

The Ministry of War has various small departments, which are responsible for various affairs in the army.

For example, the Food Department is in charge of military supplies, the Weaponry Department is in charge of weapons and baggage, and the Driving Department is in charge of horses and chariots. Each department has two chiefs, four times and six doctors, the chief doctor is the fifth grade, and the second doctor is the sixth grade. Taste.

Although he is only a fifth-grade doctor, the Shen family will not be able to continue running the medicine shop if he does not donate it. Now that he can get an official position and protection, the Shen family uncle is so excited that he has tears in his eyes: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Wei Qi smiled and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival banquet where the king and the people enjoy together. If you love me, you don't need to be polite. Just stay calm."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The eldest son of the Shen family stood up and thanked Ning Ji again: "Thank you, Marquis Ning, for recommending this official to the palace."

Ning Ji smiled and said: "It is a happy event to return the medicine shop, and I am loyal to you by helping me. There is no need to thank you, Lord Shen."

You really don’t need to thank me, because your female family members were offended by the gangsters when they went to offer incense on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. This was done by someone sent by me.

Who makes you so ignorant that you insist on guarding Chushen Medicine Store?

Da Chu is gone, your family's title is gone, and you still dare to run a big medicine shop. Isn't this asking for death?

Uncle Shen didn't know that Ning Ji was responsible for the gangster incident. He just felt great fear from this incident and knew that he had to give up the medicine shop in order to gain peace.

Wei Qi then said to Cheng Chong and General Shao: "My dear friends are leaving Beijing at the age of 18. It's cold today and there may be wind and cold on the road. I will give you another hundred carts of medicinal materials. You can send someone to the medicine store to pick them up tomorrow. .”

General Cheng Chong and General Shao felt a little uncomfortable when they were lured over with the fortune they obtained in the blink of an eye, but they quickly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Chong looked at the master of the Shen family again and said, "Master Shen, in the future, when you get the medicinal materials needed by a certain department, Master Shen will have to work hard."

Uncle Shen was startled and stood up quickly and said: "Zhongyong Hou has broken the official's command. The military camp needs medicinal materials. The inferior official must not dare to neglect. After receiving the documents, he will immediately prepare the medicinal materials according to the regulations!"

Cheng Chong smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Master Shen."

Wei Qi and the Wei family's military officials were all shocked... Is Cheng Chong complaining about the Shen family's injustice?

Wei Qi's heart sank... It seems that he can't treat his old ministers too badly, otherwise it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the old ministers and make the old ministers who have surrendered leave again.

Wei Qi is a flexible and flexible person. He immediately smiled and said to the Shen family's uncle: "Shen Aiqing, I remember that your eldest son is already in his early twenties. Is he married? Does he have fame?"

The eldest son of the Shen family said with some fear: "Reporting to your majesty, Quan Zi is already twenty-two years old... He is not married yet, and he has no fame. He is just studying."

They had made an appointment, but it was over before they even got married, and the Shen family were relatives of the emperor. The girl's family was afraid that the new dynasty would cause trouble to the Shen family, so they gritted their teeth and broke off the engagement.

After the Chu Dynasty was over, the Shen family did not dare to cause trouble and could only agree to cancel the engagement. His son was really depressed because of this incident.

No fame?

Wei Qi sneered in his heart, the Shen family has indeed been a waste for generations: "Since he is studying, he should take the scientific examination. Let's do this. I will give him the title of evangelist for the Imperial College, grant him the title of elevator, and allow him to participate in this Enke. When he passes the exam, he can serve the imperial court."

If you don't pass the exam, it means your children are incompetent, and you can't blame me.

The eldest son of the Shen family was overjoyed and knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

With the title of Juren, the boss can cheer up a little and avoid being decadent.

After hearing this, Cheng Chong stood up and praised: "Your Majesty is kind and generous to the children of the Gong family. This is really a blessing to the civil and military officials of the dynasty."

Mr. Zuo is the best at flattering. He immediately led the civil servants and shouted: "Your Majesty is kind and kind, which is a blessing to you and the people of the world. I am very lucky to be your Majesty's minister!"

Brother Cheng saluted along with the ministers, but his mind wandered: Did Mr. Zuo work as a waiter before? Why do you love compliments so much?

Mr. Qin felt a little more at ease... Wei Qi also knew that he was afraid of his old ministers, so he would not dare to commit any serious crimes in a short period of time. As long as he lasted for three years, David was stable, and even if he changed the emperor, it would not be a big deal.

Wei Qi was very satisfied after hearing this: "It is my blessing to be able to win the loyalty of all my ministers."

After the Lantern Festival banquet, the capital continued to be lively.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Wei Qi mobilized his troops and went out of the imperial city in person to see Generals Cheng Chong and Shao off, performing a show of deep love between the king and his ministers.

After the twentieth day of the first lunar month, a large number of candidates poured into the capital, many from the Northeast, and even from the New Six Cities!

After Wei Xiao captured the six cities of Dongqing, he merged the six cities into the Northeast and called them the New Six Cities.

And this time Enke also asked candidates from the New Six Cities to come and take the exam.

But New Six Cities is a month further away from the capital than Northeast China. How did they get there? Did they fly here? !

Many people in the capital were shocked and confused, but soon everyone understood that these candidates could arrive because the Wei family sent people to send the news back when they were still negotiating with Emperor Jingyuan, and then pulled them over together. .

Because these people were escorted by soldiers.

"Your Majesty must use his own manpower. Among the high school Jinshi this time, I am afraid that Northeast and New Six Cities will account for more than half." Many candidates were saying this in private.

Xu Zhaoming and the others also heard this. Although they were very worried, they kept their mouths shut and did not talk nonsense. They only concentrated on preparing for the exam.

Soon it was the eighth day of February, the day when Enke’s exam officially started.

On this day, families with science exams would turn on their lights in the middle of the night to prepare for their children to take the exams.

The Duke Cheng's Mansion was very quiet, because Xu Zhaoming and the others were secretly given tranquilizing pills by Gu Dewang, and everyone was still sleeping soundly, and they didn't wake up until Mao.

He almost went crazy when he woke up. Qu Wenliang said: "It's over, it's over. We have to line up to go to the Gongyuan gate in Chenshi. We just got up now. When will it be our turn to wait in line? Will we not be allowed to do it because there are not enough examination sheds?" Tribute Court?"

Gu Dewang smiled: "Brother Wenliang, why are you panicking? We have Grandpa Qin delivering the exams. The carriages and horses from the Duke's family, and the people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division will personally bring them in, so there is no need to queue at all."

Hey, he’s so arrogant!
