Chapter 289: Saving the Sun

Zhao Pian said angrily: "Because of this, you have to be more cautious when doing things. You don't have to do it, don't make mistakes. If you want to spread the word, wait until you go out. Understand what I mean."

Su You saluted: "I understand."

Zhao Pian smiled: "That's it. It seems that you really understand. Otherwise, I wouldn't have reported it so quickly. I would have become a monkey. Go ahead!"

Su You smiled and said, "I'm going to resign."

Returning to the Zhou'an Yamen, Gao Shilin had indeed left, leaving Hong Jiang at work.

Su You came forward to pay his respects. Hong Jiang put down his pen and said, "Xiao Su... the official has come and met the deputy envoy."

Su You smiled and said, "I've seen it before. The deputy envoy was once the governor of Yizhou. Su You was studying in the academy at the time, and he knew my name. So when he saw me arriving at the Third Division, he called me to give me a few words."

Hong Jiang smiled and said: "It would be great if Xiao Su still has this relationship."

Su You smiled bitterly and said: "Deputy Envoy Zhao has a famous name in Shu, Qinghan Wuxi Zhao Zhizhou. He is purging the officialdom of Shuzhou, and the officials below will tremble when they hear his name. Under his hands, there are no good things and bad things."

Hong Jiang said with a smile: "I don't think Lao Zhao is as scary as Lao Bao. Fortunately, Lao Bao has gone to the Privy Council. He is an iron-clad boss in the yamen, so you can just flatter him."

Su You cupped his hands and said, "You are also my boss. Su You still needs to learn more from you."

Hong Jiang laughed loudly and said: "I would rather be a minister than a minister; I would rather hold a raft than be a supervisor. I am a mediocre scholar and have been serving as a supervisor for more than ten years. How dare I ask Mingrun to learn two words from me?"

After thinking for a while: "I really have a temporary matter, how about I leave it to you."

"It's not what the secretary in charge said."

Hong Jiang said: "It's like this. Si Tianjian reported that on the first day of the next lunar month, the sun will eclipse for six and a half minutes."

Su You praised: "It's amazing, I can even predict the eclipse..."

Hong Jiang said: "Let's not talk about that for now. The officials issued an edict and asked the Li Yuan to examine and report the allusions to save Japan..."

Su You felt a little stupid: "Save...save the sun."

Hong Jiang nodded seriously: "Yes, when the Liyuan plan comes out, the emperor needs to be in plain clothes, not to stay in the main hall, and not to take care of things. All officials will be idle, but they must stay quietly at the Yamen."

"ah"

Hong Jiang pulled out a copy of the transfer: "Read it yourself."

Su You opened the file.

Two days before the first day of the New Year, the suburban community order and servants guarded the four gates and patrolled them.

Advocate and order the handsome workers to use square colors to hold the banners and place them under four-door houses.

There are dragon and snake drums standing on the four gates. One person in charge of the team holds a sword, and five commanders and guards hold weapons of the five weapons, standing outside the drum.

The spear is in the east, the halberd is in the south, the ax is in the west, and the sword is in the north.

He also set up Huang Hui with bows and arrows. When Si Tianguan said, "There will be changes in the day!" The workers raised their horses, beat the drums together, and offered sacrifices to the officials. Taizhu read the text, and his words meant to blame Yin and help Yang.

Su You didn't know how to formulate his words: "I think, actually, maybe, even if we don't help... I believe, I believe that the old man Taiyang can survive on his own..."

Hong Jiang said sternly: "The official is the son of the emperor. If the behavior of heaven is abnormal, it is like a father who is ill. Children, even if their salary is meager, they must always ask for help and do their best."

Su You immediately handed over his hand: "This is the right thing. Don't worry, Secretary Zhang, I will do it well."

Hong Jiang said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. The main thing is to urge a few furnaces to stop working, and to restrain the craftsmen to be quiet and not to make any noise on that day."

Su You said solemnly: "Then I will get to know the business in the past few days and discuss with the master craftsman to come up with a plan. I will make a plan and send it to the secretary for review. If it is not suitable, I will change it. If it is suitable, we will implement it."

"Mingrun is good." Hong Jiang smiled with satisfaction: "You see, I will arrange things for you on the first day. Just don't think I'm being mean. It's getting late, let's break up together."

Su You looked at the sky outside, and said around three o'clock in the afternoon: "Well, if the secretary doesn't mind, let's go to Zhiwei for a light meal. To tell the truth, my cousin locked me in the room to study, and it's so fast now."

I’m so greedy.”

"Oh, I know how delicious it is." Hong Jiang couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Su You smiled and said: "That's the Meishan Club. I have little respect among my fellow villagers."

Hong Jiang suddenly realized: "It's really like that. Hahaha, this place is famous far and wide, but the eunuchs are too shy to climb the steps..."

Su You smiled and said: "Those dishes are only averagely priced in my hometown. The main reason is that the seasonings are so expensive when shipped to Bianjing."

The two of them went out and got on the horse. Hong Jiang was surprised: "I heard that you are the son-in-law of the Shi family, and the family has a good horse."

Su You smiled and said: "The Shi family does have a good horse, but I don't think it is necessary. A good horse needs two people to serve it, which is not what a small promotion officer should have. The horse given by the Shi family is for me to train with him."

went."

Hong Jiang smiled: "Mingrun is really different, I have thought of all this."

Nowadays, Fangzhiwei is hard to find.

This is also the first time I’ve come to Su You for dinner since it officially opened.

When Xue Zhong saw Su You coming, he ran over and said, "I haven't congratulated my benefactor yet. If you didn't come, Xue Zhong wouldn't even dare to come. As expected, my benefactor was in the lower world of Wenquxing. Now he is holding the horse for me."

The stirrups all have different identities..."

Su You gave Xue Zhong a kick: "Stop flattering me. This is my boss, Secretary Hong, and he still has no eyesight at all..."

Xue Zhong immediately beamed: "It turns out that I am my benefactor's Shangguan. I surrender personally, and I will be well served. Third floor. Please go up to the third floor."

Su You waved his hand: "You know how to flatter me, right? You can make arrangements yourself. I'll take the officer upstairs."

The two of them went upstairs. Hong Jiang was a little surprised by Su You's arrogance: "Mingrun, I heard that Xue Zhong is a wealthy businessman in Sichuan. Why do you call you benefactor?"

Su You smiled and said: "A wealthy businessman also has his downfall. I have been friends with him since we were poor and humble. When he went to Meizhou for business, he encountered rumors that Nong Zhigao had destroyed Shu, and he lost his entire family."

"I saw that he was really pitiful, so I bought all his goods to let him get over that hurdle. With this favor, he insisted on calling him that, but it was not true."

The private room is elegantly furnished, and outside the window is the autumn scenery of the Bianhe River, with the lively traffic of cars and boats.

Hong Jiang secretly lamented that if it weren't for Su You, he would never be able to eat in a place like this.

The food arrived soon, with eight small dishes and one soup.

Su You picked up the jade porcelain wine corner and poured wine for Hong Jiang: "Sichuan cuisine has just been introduced to Bianjing. I thought that Secretary Zhang was not familiar with it, so he didn't order the dishes and let them mix a few at will. Secretary Zhang, this wine is a must-have.

Drink it, but only in small sips and slowly to get the taste."

Hong Jiang quickly picked up the cup: "The smell alone is amazing. I feel drunk when I smell it. I can't afford it. I've heard the name, Yongchun Dew, right?"

Su You smiled and said: "Exactly, I am also prohibited from drinking alcohol on weekdays. Now that I have become an official, it is my first time to drink with the secretary in charge. It is fate."

The two of them took a sip and Hong Jiang said, "Don't be so restrained after you leave the Yamen. Just call me brother Mingrun."

During this meal, Su You was very enthusiastic. While explaining the cooking methods, he told Hong Jiang how to prepare dishes. He also shared some allusions with him, and also interspersed a few short stories about the big guys' time in Chengdu.

Hong Jiang was very happy after eating, and he also opened up his chatterbox, explaining some of the twists and turns of the Zhou case to Su You, and gradually the conversation got deeper and deeper.

After the dinner, the relationship between the two deepened. When they came downstairs, Xue Zhong came to say goodbye and handed Hong Jiang a bottle wrapped in rough paper.

When Hong Jiang returned home and opened it, he found it was a blue and white plum vase of Yongchun Dew.

Hong Jiang was secretly happy. This bottle of wine could not be obtained for ten thousand bucks in the market. Brother Su is such a generous person!

…

The Third Division case was an armament department. Su You always thought it was as strict and tense as the military industrial units of later generations.

After a few days of investigation, Su You found that he had thought too much.

This is a collection of handicraft workshops, and the only large-scale one is the iron-making furnace.

One furnace can produce 10,000 kilograms of molten iron, and the steel filling method is used, but what is added is not iron powder, but wrought iron wire rods that are stir-fried and mixed with pig iron and ore. What comes out can barely be called steel.

However, if Shi Tong knew about such vulcanized steel, he would probably roll on the floor laughing.
