The rise of the poor

Chapter 429

Yan Shifan seemed to be the protagonist at the wine table, while Zhu Ping'an weakened into a supporting role. Several people from the Imperial Academy came to toast and drink Yan Shifan from time to time, and Yan Shifan always refused to come, and the atmosphere on the wine table gradually became better.

"Let me tell you, Zihou, the Holy Majesty has already issued a decree to approve the memorial of Zhejiang Censor Dong Sir Dong asking for the easing of the sea ban. The sea ban is temporarily lifted. The Department of Shipping is already preparing, and official ships can sail along the coast."

When Yan Shifan was slightly drunk, he told Zhu Pingan the news.

Zhu Ping'an was a little surprised by this. In his impression, the sea ban was repeated during the Jiajing period, but he hadn't heard that it was slightly wider enough to allow sailing to sea, but it's understandable if he wants to come to the official ship.

The official ship is open for navigation. Seeing Yan Shifan's complacent look, it is estimated that Yan Shifan will make him into an official smuggler.

However, Yan Shifan will definitely be disappointed in the future. Emperor Jiajing's sea ban policy has always been repeated, especially the recent Japanese pirates ravaging the southeast coast. It is estimated that this slightly wider sea ban policy can be maintained for a short period of time.

If the Japanese pirates are not eradicated, the sea ban will never be lifted!

However, Zhu Ping'an knew these things in his heart, and he didn't say anything. Now Yan Shifan is just thinking about making profits, so why throw cold water on him.Besides, no matter what Yan Shifan's starting point is, it would be great if someone could set his sights on going overseas.

The mutton served by the proprietress really tastes good, especially the fish and goat dish, which is even more delicious, but the only downside is that it is a bit expensive.

When Zhu Pingan went out to pay the bill between meals, he basically spent all the money he had in his pocket, and there was basically less than ten cents left after paying the bill.After paying the bill, Zhu Pingan made an agreement with the shopkeeper in advance that if there is more wine and vegetables later, it will be recorded on the account for the time being, and Zhu Pingan will come back tomorrow to pay back the money.

No wonder so many Daming officials are corrupt, the salaries just given out are really not enough to socialize, let alone support a large family.

It's about time to think about how to make money. If this continues, I will have to drink the northwest wind.Zhu Pingan touched the empty purse and returned to the dinner table with a wry smile.

Really, to be an official, you have to make money first.

After Zhu Pingan returned to the dinner table, our young master Yan was [-]% drunk. Yan Shifan was bragging about the great achievements of Yanliu Lane, the imperial daughter, to everyone at the dinner table. Don't care about being known.

In other words, if Yan Shifan was in modern times, considering the old Bi incident, he would not dare to be so arrogant if he was killed.

It was getting dark outside, and at this moment, you can't see your fingers, but Mr. Yan is drinking happily, and no one dares to express his intention to leave.

When everyone was drinking heavily, a young boy came in from outside and came to look for Yan Shifan very anxiously, with an anxious expression on his face as if his butt was burned.

"Why are you in a hurry." Yan Shifan hiccupped and asked with his tongue out.

"My lord, my lord, Master Xiang sent a note from the palace, urging you to answer quickly." The young man said while handing the small note in his hand to Yan Shifan.

Uh

Seeing the young man handing the note to Yan Shifan, combined with the note that the young man said was passed by the Xiangye from the palace, Zhu Pingan thought of an interesting incident recorded in the wild history:
It is said that once Yan Song and other cabinet ministers were on night shift in the duty room in Xiyuan, and received a note from Emperor Jiajing, which asked Yan Song and other cabinet ministers to deal with a major current situation. The on-duty discussed for a while, and then each drafted a handling opinion separately. Several cabinet ministers revised it several times after finishing writing, but they all felt that the written opinions were not in place, so they dared not submit them to Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing sent the little eunuch to remind him several times, but there was no other way, so Yan Song and others had to revise and revise their opinions, and then handed them over to the little eunuch.

"Your Majesty is dissatisfied, please ask your lord to draft a new ticket." Soon the little eunuch came back, expressed Emperor Jiajing's dissatisfaction, and returned the proposal.

Emperor Jiajing used pen and ink to alter a lot of the proposals on the ticket, one place after another, and the dissatisfaction of Emperor Jiajing can be seen from the alterations.Yan Song and the others were terrified and had no choice but to consider the proposal again, but this time several people deliberated and deliberated, but they still didn't know how to draft and had no clue.

"Guys, please hurry up, the Holy Majesty is waiting, with an angry face." The little eunuch was very anxious.

The little eunuch came to urge him several times, but Yan Song and others learned the lesson of dissatisfaction with Jiajing last time, and they didn't understand what Emperor Jiajing meant.

Just at this time, Yan Shifan came to Xiyuan to deliver medicine to Yan Song on his mother's order. This was also a kindness from Emperor Jiajing. cure.

Yan Shifan saw his father and several cabinet ministers in the duty room looking panic-stricken like headless chickens, so he couldn't help asking curiously what happened.

"Hehe, it's easy to hear."

When Yan Shifan read the note sent by Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Jiajing's replies to the revised draft proposal, he couldn't help but chuckled softly, and then he couldn't help but quickly wrote a draft proposal with a pen.

In a matter of minutes, Yan Shifan finished writing the draft proposal and threw a pen on the table.

"Donglou, why are you making trouble?"

Seeing Yan Shifan being so aggressive, Yan Song couldn't help complaining.Several other cabinet ministers also showed dissatisfaction with this, a yellow-mouthed kid, why are you so arrogant.

After Yan Song complained, he took the ticket written by Yan Shifan in his hand and read it again. It was a bit unexpected. The angle Yan Shifan wrote was something they hadn't thought of, and it was a bit novel.After Yan Song read it, he passed it on to several other cabinet ministers to read it as well.

"Your Majesty thinks he is sluggish and has an angry look, so I want the elders to report back immediately." At this moment, another young eunuch came to urge him according to Emperor Jiajing's order.

Immediate report means that immediately, without delay, you have to report to Emperor Jiajing.It was too late to write any more, so in desperation, I had no choice but to send the ticket written by Yan Shifan up to deal with the errands first.

But after submitting it, Yan Song and others regretted it unceasingly, and felt that it was too rash to submit Yan Shifan's proposal.

However, to their surprise, Emperor Jiajing's reply came quickly.

"I'm so relieved, let's play."

After this incident, Yan Song and others were really convinced by Yan Shifan. In the future, Emperor Jiajing would have any difficult questions and notes. If Yan Song and other cabinet ministers could not answer and solve them, they would send a note out of the palace for Yan Shifan to answer. What about Yan Shifan? Every time, the problem can be solved satisfactorily and smoothly, and every time he can be praised by Emperor Jiajing.

"No worries!"

As a result, a practice has been formed. Every time there is a difficult question from Emperor Jiajing, Yan Song will always comfort everyone, and then write the question of Emperor Jiajing on a note, and let people walk through the door of Xiyuan Palace. It was reported that the Pegasus was given to Yan Shifan, and Shifan was asked to answer immediately.

This is also the reason why the ruling and opposition parties called Yan Song the "Great Prime Minister" and Yan Shifan the "Little Prime Minister".

It is estimated that the boy came to Yan Shifan this time for the same reason.
