Five eighty-nine ultimatum go to state and county (2)

After the two of them sat down, Wang Yi found that the cushion of the leather-coated cotton was extremely soft and a bit uneasy. He raised his buttocks and fell down and tried it, but fell in love with this slightly elastic feeling.

"Have you ever sat in the army?" Huang Ruixue felt that this junior brother seemed to be more childish and cute than last time.

"Where is such a high-end thing in the army?" Wang Yi smiled and said, "I haven't seen it even though I've grown up."

"It only started to become popular two years ago." Huang Ruixue said: "We all think that the best things you use in the army are all good things. I heard that they are wearing satin shirts and ginseng?"

"That's all war preparations. I'm not used to wearing silk shirts, but ginseng is indeed a good thing to replenish vitality." Wang Yi said: "When the force of marching, it has a great impact on whether or not ginseng tablets are included." After Wang Yi said that, he looked at Huang Ruixue's face and said to himself: It turns out that she has been paying attention to the affairs in the army. When he thought about this, he was quite moved.

Huang Ruixue read this blushing thought from Wang Yi's eyes and explained with a slight explanation: "Last year, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War competed for this year's budget, and then I realized that the treatment of soldiers in our dynasty has been so good."

Wang Yi didn't know the budget, but Wang Wensheng was probably fighting for military pay. He said, "It depends on the treatment of our Tank Division. By the way, our Sima will be expanded into a division soon. His Royal Highness has already appointed me as the division commander and awarded the rank of major general."

"It's a happy congratulations. I'm just twenty years old and I'm on the throne." Huang Ruixue still smiled.

"I told the Crown Prince about the teacher's affairs, and his Highness said that you can solve the problem by writing a letter to the Ministry of Personnel." Wang Yi smiled and said, "We will surrender to the Ministry of Personnel when we open the yamen. Mr. Huang is no longer a criminal official."

The smile on Huang Ruixue's face suddenly frozen, and she lowered her head slightly. She said, "It's hard for you to still be in your heart."

"That is my teacher, of course I dare not forget it for a moment." Wang Yi said in a true voice, looking at Huang Ruixue, he did not dare to say the second half: What's more, he is the father of his senior brother.

Huang Ruixue also said in his heart: His father is his teacher, and it is also worthy of his grace to be taught. However...

Both of them had their own thoughts, and no one spoke for a while. Only the tea on the table slowly exhaled the heat.

"Two guests, who ordered the dishes?"

The waiter waited at the door for a long time. Seeing that the two people inside said a few words, they became sculptures, and they didn't mention ordering dishes, they couldn't help but speak out to remind them.

Wang Yi woke up after hearing the sound and waved, "Come on."

The waiter then laughed and handed the menu carved on the wooden board in his hand.

Wang Yi was a little surprised, but the menu finally understood and said self-deprecatingly: "There are so many tricks in the wine shop now."

Huang Ruixue took the menu, but stopped talking, and said in her heart: Those little sluts often hang Yinglou on their lips, it is so expensive!

"I don't have much appetite, but it's enough to have tofu." Huang Ruixue chose the cheapest dish and returned the menu to the waiter.

Wang Yi is a person who is not happy, but seeing Huang Ruixue only ordered a tofu, he thought to himself: Mr. Huang is an official family, and Senior Brother Ruixue must like elegance. If I order some fishy dishes, wouldn’t she not be happy? Alas, bear it first and wait until you go and eat it later.

"I've been on the boat these days and I want to vomit, so I'll just have two lighter dishes." Wang Yi swallowed his saliva and returned the menu to the waiter.

When the waiter saw that the two ordered little, he said, "What kind of wine do you want to drink? We have sugarcane wine shipped from Taiwan. It is sweet and mellow, beautiful and beautiful, and is the most suitable for women."

"I have to be on duty in the afternoon and dare not drink." Huang Ruixue knew that he had bought two cents of silver in a small bottle of sugar cane wine, so he politely declined.

The waiter left unhappily.

"Uh..." The two of them broke the silence at the same time and said in unison: "You talk first."

This is even more embarrassing.

Seeing Huang Ruixue lowered her head, Wang Yi quickly searched his stomach and said, "Talking with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really like drinking a good wine, which makes people feel drunk without realizing it."

Huang Ruixue smiled and said, "Everyone who has seen the crown prince says this, but unfortunately I don't have the blessing yet."

"Ha, haha..." Wang Yi thought Huang Ruixue often had the opportunity to see the crown prince as a Beijing official, but he didn't expect to reveal the shortcomings of others. Wouldn't this be a show-off? He quickly interrupted: "It's interesting to say that. Your Highness also showed me a new rushing car, made of iron armor, and used steam as power, so that he could move day and night. And Your Highness also said that he would first be equipped with my teacher and be named after the title of my teacher."

Huang Ruixue smiled and said, "I know, a steam locomotive. Last October, Jingshi University improved the steam engine so that it could turn the axle. I also went to see the test machine run."

"It's true! Then I won't have to take a boat when I return from Liaodong to Beijing in the future, haha." Wang Yi said with a smile.

"But it's probably too early to be equipped with the army." Huang Ruixue said: "The test machine is as big as a house. If you want to make a car, you may have to change it. And, do you know how many steam engines are in the world?"

"How many?" Wang Yi asked.

"There are only six steam engines in the world, including the steam locomotive that doesn't even have wheels. This thing is much harder to build than a hot air balloon." Huang Ruixue said.

"Uh...so that?" Wang Yi was quite disappointed and said to himself: Good senior brother, I finally found a topic, but I was destroyed by you like this?

Huang Ruixue said: "There are often some whimsical things in Jingshi University, and the Crown Prince also likes this. As for whether it can be done, only God knows. By the way, there are some more unreliable than this steam locomotive. Someone suggested using pure iron to build a ship, and His Highness really sent someone to train riveters."

"Haha, right?" Wang Yi picked up the gradually cold tea and took a sip.

The waiter just sent a braised tofu, a shredded potato and a cabbage soup, which was really clear and slim.

The two of them gave in and picked up food and had no idea what to say.

Seeing that the food was completely eliminated, Huang Ruixue rinsed her mouth with tea and asked, "Will you stay in Liaodong in the future?"

"No, no." Wang Yi said: "My teacher is reorganized in Liaodong, but he will go to the north to garrison in the future..." Wang Yi's voice gradually became lighter, and he thought to himself: Liaodong is already a place of bitterness and coldness. If I transfer it to Nuergandus further north, wouldn't it be even more painful?

It's nothing to suffer for yourself, if you get married...

"More north," Huang Ruixue took over the conversation, "that's the Nuergandus. Recently, he has been reorganizing the regional map and administrative divisions. It is said that he will be reorganized into the Haixi Provincial Administration and Commissioner General, and in the future, he will directly send officials to take charge. Is it really cold there?"

"It's okay in Liaodong, but I heard that no matter how much I go north, I can freeze to death." Wang Yi smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, I haven't been there."

"I really want to go and see it." Huang Ruixue said casually.

"Then are you willing to marry?" Wang Yi blurted out.

Huang Ruixue's mind roared, and she was completely stunned.

Wang Yi's face was flushed, and he didn't know how to tell it.

After being silent for a long time again, Huang Ruixue finally broke the cold and said with a smile: "The key is who to marry, not where to marry."

"What my senior brother is saying is, what I am saying." Wang Yi gently wiped his forehead with cold sweat.

"It's time for me to go back to work." Huang Ruixue took the opportunity to get up, and took a step forward, and said in a scattered way: "My father has newly appointed Huguang to participate in politics and supervise Changsha Road..."

"Yes, I will go and visit sir." Wang Yi stood up nervously, and waited until Huang Ruixue left the private room before shouting: "Senior Brother, I'll give you it!"

"Customer, eight cents and two cents of silver." The waiter came out and blocked Wang Yi.

Wang Yi almost hit him habitually and stopped the car. Seeing Huang Ruixue's pace slowing down, he hurriedly took out a one-two bill, slapped it into the second hand, and shouted: "Don't look for it!"

The waiter's hands were swollen, but when he saw that he had to give him a reward of 100 cents, he was overjoyed and didn't care about that much. Moreover, this is the most popular banknote on the market. If he uses the silver to make up for it, he can still make some difference here.

In the face of the temptation of interests, the waiter struggled for a while, but finally handed over the money, without breaking his bottom line of faith.

Wang Yi had already chased behind Huang Ruixue. The two of them were one step away from each other. They didn't say much, but they both felt a little happy. Wang Yi even began to think that they would go to the Grand Governor's Office to borrow horses later, go back to Shandong to visit his father first, and then gallop in Changsha to propose marriage to Mr. Huang.

I just hope this month's holiday can be too late.

——How great would it be if the steam locomotive that the day and night that His Royal Highness said could be successful as soon as possible!

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Yi wanted to grow wings and fly back home.

——And Mr. Huang was also an abnormal thing. He actually participated in politics in Huguang as a criminal official. What is this opportunity? If it weren’t for the title of “criminal official”, wouldn’t he have entered the cabinet and become the prime minister?

Wang Yi thought to himself.

In fact, Huang Desu often asks himself this question.

Speaking of which, he should be the most ordinary official in the Ming Dynasty.

When he was admitted to the Jinshi, he was already in middle age, not those prodigy who were released at the age of 18 or 19; he was ranked in the third grade and was awarded the same Jinshi, and he did not even have the qualifications to be a Shujishi. Logically speaking, he would never have the chance to enter the cabinet in his life.

Later, when he became the magistrate, he didn't know what he should do. He was confused and ate some gray income with the master's gift, and he was stubborn for nothing on weekdays... he looked like a mediocre official.

It was not until he became a criminal official that he fell from heaven to earth and suffered a lot of torture that he realized that he had changed his past and regretted all the miserable past.

With the "City Planning of Prefectures and Counties" issued by the East Palace and the "Classification of Official Examination Projects", he knew what he should do and where to start, which was to truly learn how to work in practice.

Officials like Huang Desu accounted for the vast majority in the Ming Dynasty. Once they could grit their teeth and endure it, they would still have the strength of a Jinshi, and their promotion speed would be faster than others. If a third-class Jinshi survived from a county magistrate to participating in politics, no matter how smooth his career was, he would have to be white.
