Chapter 557.

In fact, after hearing some reading comprehension from Hu Mu, Zhang Anshi was relieved.

He encouraged Hu Mu, “This matter, to be done as a top priority, all the best …… best number.”

Humu said in surprise, “Number?”

Zhang Anshi patiently said, “Record them, and then internally, replace them with numbers, so that in the future, it will be convenient to deliver letters.”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi then said: ”Of course, how to do it, or you are the main, you think about it yourself. The important thing is, according to the actual situation, and can not be taken for granted. The world’s affairs, often bad on the bad in taking for granted on the head, many of the idea, the first thought, often flawless, as if flawless, can really go to do when, but found that the error of a hundred, and ultimately …… instead of bad.”

After a pause, he continued, “As for your highness accounted for mapping the various prefectures, counties, villages of the people of the household registration situation, this …… subordinate officials tightly do, this matter …… is indeed time-consuming and laborious, but as long as perseverance, will be able to Effective.”

Zhang Anshi then encouraged, “Do a good job and I will ask for credit for you in the future.”

Hu Mu couldn’t help but be flattered.

Because the word “requesting credit” has a very different effect when said from different mouths, although these two words, which everyone loves to say, especially the Shangguan, simply take this as a mantra.

But the vast majority of people, really just as a mantra, or ……… take it as a carrot that can never be eaten, and unfortunately, you are the donkey that is always looking at carrots to quench their thirst.

Just Zhang Anshi mouth, this word but never discount, this is in the jinyiwei, straight up and down the Yamen as well as the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of the sea within the consensus, everyone knows, as long as they are willing to make an effort, Zhang Anshi is never stingy to recognize these credits, I do not know how many lucky, because of Zhang Anshi’s highly recommended, only to step up to the top.

Even Hu Mu, he is from a canonical official, but also in Zhang Anshi’s extraordinarily valued under the opportunity to take charge of the Postal Service, such a promotion, this is extremely rare.

Of course, this kind of thing is actually very easy to be criticized, after all,…… for many people, everyone is queuing up, the result is that Hu Mu came to a queue insertion, can not help but make many people feel uncomfortable.

The good thing is that Zhang Anshi did not promote Hu Mu on the original basis, but made a new big pie and taught Hu Mu to experience.

This postal department although the same level with the provincial railroad department, in fact, theoretically, corresponds to the local Buzhengzhi or press commissioner and commander, but after all, this postal department was first created, the future of the future, and unclear, to put it bluntly, good or bad in the individual, if there is no ability to hold the ear of the bull, not to mention the Department of Posts, even if it is the Ministry of Posts, and how can it be?

Because of this, Hu Mu feel pressure, he knows that his seniority is not enough, if you can’t do up the postal service, not only their own future is hopeless, even if it is to appreciate the promotion of their own His Majesty the King of Song, but also to be followed by the face of dishonor.

Hu Mu said, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

After things were talked over, Zhang Anshi started to talk about some small talk since.

He said with a smiling face, “Have you returned home in these times?”

Hu Mu was also considered an honest person and shook his head directly.

A hint of realization flashed in Zhang Anshi’s eyes as he asked again, “Didn’t go to see your father?”

Hu Mu sighed: “My father is strict, since young, taught the next official, do things to start and finish. Now moncler jackets outlet your highness does not abandon, entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, the next official will not dare …… to have the slightest slack, the postal department is related to the country’s economy and people’s livelihood, more can not be slow, so ……”

The latter words didn’t go on, but Zhang Anshi understood.

So he said, “It is better to take some time and go and see. Public is public and private is private.”

Hu Mu glanced at Zhang Anshi and did not retort, dryly saying, “Yes.”

Zhang Anshi, however, added: “Your father is an upright man, but he also has a pedantic side, his words, you have to listen to them selectively, and never take your father’s things and learn them all.”

This was rather like scolding the father to the son, but from Zhang Anshi’s mouth, or in Hu Mu’s hearing, it actually felt very reasonable.

He pondered for a moment and said, “I’m honored to follow your highness’ teachings.”

After a few more moments of small talk, a conversation finally came to an end.

Hu Mu now time is also pressed, he was in a hurry, and when he was out of the royal residence, he went straight back to the postal service.

But when he returned to the Postal Service, a clerk came in a hurry.

“Ambassador Hu, Ambassador Hu.” This clerical official came with quick steps, his voice carrying a few moments of anxiety.

“What is it?” Hu Mu was originally preoccupied, and in his mind he was thinking about how to teach the top and bottom of this Postal Division to accomplish what Zhang Anshi had explained.

At this moment, being interrupted in his thoughts by this rather flustered clerk, his brow wrinkled gently, and he could not help but be a little displeased.

But I heard this clerk say, “There are many people …… coming outside saying that they want to enter the Postal Department.”

“If they want to enter, why do they need to find the Postal Service, the lower part has its own recruitment place.” Hu Mu did not like, he has seen too many people come to ask for an official position, this kind of request, let him get sick of.

But the clerk said, “The visitor is not ordinary.”

“Huh?” Humu raised an eyebrow, his eyes puzzled.

This clerical official then said, “Nai …… is the son of Duke Xia ……”

Hu Mu didn’t react for a moment, so he said, “Which Xia Gong?”

This clerical official said, “Which other one is, since it is Xia Yuanji Xia Gong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who has just resigned from his post.”

Humu was stunned.

In fact, counting, Hu family and Xia family is a private friendship, when Xia Yuanji had given Hu Mu a lot of help, after all, when still the same hometown, Xia Yuanji older, seniority in the dynasty, in the beginning it is more than Hu Guang is much deeper.

Consequently, as a young man, Humu was dragged along by his own father and also visited Natsubara Yoshi.

At that time, Natsubara Yoshi had also given him a number of books, teaching him to study well and to aspire to be a famous minister in the future.

Of course, now Xia Yuanji salute, is considered to be the end, everyone rumors, this is Xia Yuanji offended the emperor.

But although this is the case, the consideration of Xia Yuanji’s merits, Zhu Di did not add to the crime, but let him safely under the Zhuang, in addition to the salutation of the time to give a lot of rewards and gifts, plus the grace, gave Xia Yuanji Prince Prince Prince Bao title, so that he returned to his hometown to retire.

Such a gracious honor and treatment counts against Natsubara Yoshi.

It’s just that Hu Mu didn’t expect that the Xia family, would actually run here.

Contemplating for a moment, if it was anyone else who came to the Postal Division, it would be offensive, but the Xia family was too famous after all, if they were to defect to the Postal Division, once the word got out, it would surely shake the world.

Hu Mu didn’t hesitate for too long and finally said, “Please come, prepare the tea.”

Within moments, someone boarded the hall.

This person, Hu Mu also recognized, was Xia Yuanji’s son, Xia Xuan.

Speaking of which, Xia Yuan Ji was much older than Hu Guang, but Hu Mu was much older than Xuan Xuan, because Xuan Xuan was the son of Xia Yuan Ji in his old age.

Don’t underestimate this Xia Xuan, although he is young, but in fact, by virtue of his father’s shade, according to the court’s courtesy for ministers, he is young, in fact, has been ranked in the fifth grade of the shade of the official.

If it is no accident, he continued to boil seniority down, no less, the future will be in the Taishang Temple such a place, as a temple secretary or less secretary of such a high position, ranked third grade is not unlikely.

This is actually somewhat similar to Hu Mu’s elder brother, who was a shade official of the imperial court and now also holds an idle position in the Taishang Temple.

Hu Mu got up, showing a bit of affinity, and smiled at Xia Xuan, “How did Shidi have the leisure to come?”

For his part, Xia Xuan gave Hu Mu a salute before saying, “I have come to pay my respects in the hope of being in the Postal Department for the Ambassador’s deployment.”

Hu Mu froze, shocked: “Shidi is not in the temple in the official?”

This really had to be a big surprise to Hu Mu!

Xia Xuan said, “Just now, my humble brother has resigned from his position as an envoy of the Taishang Temple, and is now without an official.”

When these words came out, Hu Mu actually had his jaw dropped.

He looked at Xia Xuan and pondered for a long time before saying, “Is it because of your father?”

In fact, even if Xia Yuanji to his post, but after all, is still the Crown Prince, not to mention, Xia Yuanji in the dynasty’s connections are very good, whether it is Xie Jin or Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, were subject to Xia Yuanji’s favor, as a matter of fact, even if the emperor lost some trust in him, but after all, is still mindful of the feelings of the emperor and his subjects, Xia Xuan this life’s future, it can be predicted.

But this Xia Xuan, who had resigned from his shaded position for no reason, was really mind-boggling.

So Hu Mu’s first thought was, is this because His Majesty is still angry with Xia Yuan Ji? Because of this, Xia Xuan was worried about the emperor’s censure, so he resigned from his post just like his father.

However, although Hu Mu think so, but also think it is impossible, because Xia Yuanji even if he was sent to his post, but from the treatment, although there is no longer the Secretary of the Ministry of the household, but it is unlikely that His Majesty’s eyes will be staring at the Xia Xuan this small too often offerings on the head.

Xia Xuan shook his head, “This is my humble brother’s own meaning.”

Hu Mu looked at Xia Xuan strangely and became even more suspicious in his heart.

Xia Xuan said: “After my father’s resignation, my younger brother and my father had some disputes, and my father thought that the program is now in chaos. But my younger brother thinks that this is the time for men to make progress, and I don’t quite agree with many of my father’s practices. Especially my father, who has made such a big mistake, I, as a son of a man, am also ashamed to be ashamed of myself. Although my father felt that this is nothing, but someone wants to take the opportunity to retaliate against him, but my younger brother believes that the world has always been so, but as a minister, can not be followed, and ultimately …… my younger brother will be simply angry out of the house, resigned from the Taishang Temple of the official position, at first wanted to go to the Railway Department to seek employment, but unfortunately the Ministry of Railways side, the Directly under the Ministry of Railway posts full, Jiangxi Province, the Ministry of Railway posts full. Railroad Division’s post is full, Jiangxi Railway Division has a lot of vacancies, but need to go to the Jiangxi side, where after all, too far, think about it, my brother would like to come to the Postal Service to try his luck.”

When Hu Mu heard this, he couldn’t help but sigh, he hadn’t really expected it to be like this!

However, Xia Yuanji was a son in his old age, to this son, since it is spoiled beyond measure, which also created Xia Xuan’s capricious nature, about which, in fact, Hu Mu was heard long ago.

If Hu Mu dares to point to the face of Hu Guang to scold you for not doing the right thing, but also dares to leave home, and even unauthorized resignation, I am afraid that there are three legs to be broken cleanly.

Hu Mu smiled bitterly, “Other than you, who else is there?”

“There are also a few, when in the clan school, and some of the cousins of Yugongyi’s friendship, they also long ago resent the bumbling, all want to take a chance.”

Hu Mu cried and laughed, “This railroad division, it doesn’t care if you have a shade or not, or who your father is.”

Hu Mu still chose to say ugly words before, don’t they regret it later.

“My humble brother was prepared.” Xia Xuan thought for a moment and said, “I just feel that the world is so big that I really don’t want to waste my time, I often listen to opera, in which there are many stories of heroes and heroines, and there are even quite a number of people who have traveled across the ocean, seeking to gain success, if it were not for the seasickness of my younger brother, I am afraid that at this time I would have already been on the ocean ship, heading for Java.”

“The matter ……” Hu Mu is still a little hesitant, weighing: “I still want to ask your father’s advice, really dare not make a decision, if not … …”

Xia Xuan is head high, the volume also unconsciously raised some, said: “I am me, my father is my father, I am a supervisor, and had served in a number of casual official positions, the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, although not proficient, but also can write will count. You postal division, claiming that there is a shortage of people, to be wide open to the wise, now, put the people who come to the service not to use, but to push the three, this is the courtesy of the gesture of the wise?”

The more Xia Xuan said, the more excited: “World brother if you recognize, my talent is not enough in the postal department, I will go! Big deal, go to Jiangxi, or go to other places, the sky is high, the sea is wide, the man is a great man, there is always a place to go …….”

“But if it is the time to use people, right now, such a person as my humble brother, but also used, naturally, please accept, I will do my best to use the life is, why need to say more?”

His words were so loud and clear that it forced Hu Mu to be prudent.

Xia Xuan this kid, is a very strong person, now send him away, I’m afraid that tomorrow he will go around and tell people that the postal service refuses to accept the wise man, this is to smash their own rice bowls!

At that moment, Hu Mu said, “It s just that since you are a first timer, then …… I am afraid that you have to start from a stagecoach.”

Xia Xuan said without much concern, “This I wish.”

Hu Mu added: “Now the various post stations, often some of the remote townships are the most short of manpower, this go …… is afraid to eat a lot of suffering.”

Xia Xuan said decisively, “Why not.”

With the words having been said, it was not good for Hu Mu to continue refusing.

Hu Mu is not ambiguous, immediately ordered people to inquire, a long time, there are clerks to come, close to his ear, whisper a few words.

Only then did Hu Mu look at Xia Xuan and said, “The one that is most in need of people right now is Pingtan Stage, if you are willing to go, you can make the trip tomorrow, and as for your clansmen, naturally there are other arrangements.”

Xia Xuan didn’t have any dissenting views and directly responded, immediately saying, “Many thanks, Ambassador.”

Xia Xuan’s nature was also dry, and after this matter was settled, he didn’t continue to linger, and directly said goodbye and left.

Seeing Xia Xuan leave, Hu Mu is still a little jawed, to be honest, this person …… makes him a little bit unintelligible.

“It’s true that he’s the only son in the family, hey ……” Hu Mu couldn’t help but sigh.

…………

By the next day, Xia Xuan hurriedly departed.

And at this time, in the capital, within the apartment of Natsubara Yoshi, where someone hurriedly sought out Natsubara Yoshi.

“Xia Gong …… heard from the side of the Taishang Temple that the young gentleman resigned from his post ……”

Yoshi Natsubara: “……”

Although father and son, quarrels are commonplace, this Natsubara Yoshi close to forty years of age to give birth to the child, naturally, Natsubara Yoshi can not help but make extraordinarily favored.

But Natsubara Yoshi had just been dealt a blow by his salutation, and now there was unrest at home, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a double blow.

Xia Yuanji blandly said, “Strike …… he both have no intention of career …… or …… good at home to study … . there is nothing wrong with that, call him back and tell him that my father will not blame him ……”

The man then frowned and said, “Little Gongzi, it s already …… gone.”

“Gone?” Natsubara Yoshi froze, unsure, “Gone where?”

“When he went to the Pintan stage, he ran off to join the postal division, and was willing to be a postman …… early in the morning, and I heard that he had packed his baggage, and was going to Pintan to take up his post.”

Yoshi Natsubara: “……”

“His Lordship …… His Lordship ……”

Xia Yuanji actually frozen in place motionless, face just that relaxed and indifferent color has long disappeared.

“His Lordship ……”

It was only after a long time that Natsubara Yoshi began to move, he Fang felt his entire body go numb, and only now did he begin to breathe somewhat normally.

“Hey ……” Natsubara Yoshi returned to his senses, feeling powerless for a moment, and sighed: “The world’s affairs, bad is bad in these youngsters who don’t know the sky and the earth… …”

“Master, should we call for a chase.”

“Where is Pintan?”

“In Fujian Buzhengji …… by the sea ……”

“The end of the world?”

“Yes, the sky’s the limit.”

Yoshi Natsubara: “……”

“Sr. ……”

Natsubara Yoshi actually shriveled up all of a sudden, and even at the time of his salutation, he had never been seen in such a disheveled state.

He finally let out a bitter laugh and said, “If you can chase back the person, you can’t chase back the heart, so let him go.”

…………

Inside the Wen Yuan Pavilion, Zhang Anshi every time he goes, he sees several university professors busy.

The issue of hidden households has been treated by His Majesty as something that shakes the foundation and roots of the country, and because of this, it has been repeatedly ordered three times.

As a university scholar of the Wen Yuan Pavilion, he should try to understand His Majesty’s mind and do his best to get the matter done.

Therefore, for different prefectures, in addition to sending a large number of inspectors to inspect, but also to give the prefectures to give positive advice.

The only thing that worries them is that they still have their minds made up.

Thus by this time, no one had accompanied Zhang Anshi to drink tea.

Zhang Anshi was also able to get some mere words from their mouths.

There is good news, and it is nothing more than a certain government or county that is beginning to show results.

There was also some bad news about the displeasure of the local people.

But no matter what, things are always going to be pushed, and at this juncture, no one dares to be perfunctory.
