Ye Chunqiu felt very sorry to think that Chen Rong and Zhang Jin finally passed the imperial examination and were going to give up on continuing the imperial examination now.

However...even so, everyone has their own aspirations. Even if Chen Rong and Zhang Jin enter the career of the government, it may not be a good thing for them.

The trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them. But if you are mediocre, you will always be a young wife who is angry. It would be better if you don’t do this official position.

Just thinking that his father-in-law was coming, Ye Chunqiu was really excited.

With a happy mood, he took a few rounds of the town government and took out some drawings he usually drew when he was bored. Most of these drawings involved metallurgy, wood processing, molds, and leather processing, which were all basic materials. He asked Sun Qi to hand them over to those craftsmen.

At this time, he even had an idea to set up a research institute under Zhenguo Mansion to recruit some skilled craftsmen to carry out research work.

This matter is actually easy to deal with. The team is ready. In fact, the most important thing is the question of status, which depends on the palace.

A generous salary in this era may not necessarily be touching, but identity plays a great role in this era of strict hierarchy.

Of course, he wanted to lobby for the little emperor. In the eyes of all officials, this Zhenguo Mansion was just the product of His Majesty's nonsense. In fact, most of the time, he was too lazy to pay attention to it, and even the Censor was too lazy to scold him. Of course, this was inseparable from the new army of Zhenguo.

The new army of Zhenguo Mansion is indeed very successful, and in the eyes of scholars, it is a "personal person". Its reputation in the scholars is quite good, and the Zhenguo Mansion has also lost many infamous reputations.

The entire Zhenguo Mansion is like an institution that plays a family in the eyes of all officials, but in Ye Chunqiu's view, it is equivalent to a ******* independent from the court. Although it is very weak and young, Ye Chunqiu hopes that he can become a towering tree.

Thinking of this, Ye Chunqiu should have put some thoughts on this sapling. Now there are two main institutions under Zhenguo Mansion, one is the new army of Zhenguo Mansion, the other is the Zhenguo Mansion Mansion Construction Bureau, one is the eldest brother-in-law Wang Shouren as the deputy counselor to train troops, and the other is the mastermind Sun Qi.

Ye Chunqiu hopes to add a new institution and research institute under this Zhenguo Mansion, which is also a measure to enhance the status of skilled craftsmen in Zhenguo Mansion, solve their identity and life problems, and make them worry-free.

At first, the research of Zhenguo Mansion was almost done by Ye Chunqiu himself, and other craftsmen were just vassals. However, now, with the progress of these people, they have begun to be proficient in calculations and drawings, which makes Ye Chunqiu often have any ideas and orders to send some drawings to pass, so that feasibility and improvement can be studied based on this.

Late at night, Ye Chunqiu returned to the Ye family. He was still in good spirits. Because Ye Chunqiu had not come back yet, the doorkeeper specially left a door for him. Seeing Ye Chunqiu coming back, the doorkeeper specially brought a lantern to shine on the road for Ye Chunqiu. Ye Chunqiu smiled at him and said, "If I come back late in the future, you can leave a small door for me, go to bed earlier and get up early in the morning."

"Young Master, this is a small duty."

Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips and smiled lightly. He didn't say much. He ordered people to burn hot water and prepare to take a hot bath before going to bed. Ye Dong, the manager of the Ye family, rushed here. Ye Dong was a distant relative of the Ye family. He had known his father Ye Jing since he was a child. He had passed the imperial examination, but he always failed the imperial examination. He originally made a living by teaching the museum, but now he is in the capital and is responsible for managing the family business for the Ye family.

To count, Ye Chunqiu should call him uncle, but Ye Dong dared not be the one. He knew that the young master of the Ye family was better than the master of the Ye family. Therefore, since Ye Jing was released from office, whenever he had the chance, he would come to ask for instructions on all aspects of the mansion as long as Ye Chunqiu returned home.

"Uncle Dong, haven't been asleep so late?" Ye Chunqiu greeted him and took a sip of the tea he had just made.

Ye Dong smiled and said, "I dare not sleep, I just wait for the young master to come back. The young master, some of the inputs and expenses at home... are all here, please take a look."

Ye Chunqiu nodded, looked roughly, didn't feel anything different, so he put down and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Dong."

Ye Dong talked about some of the welcome and sending out things. Both owners were not at home, so he had to make his own decisions about many things. He roughly explained some situations, and then took out a list and said, "There is another thing that I want to ask the young master to take charge. This is how Hong Ruyi, the Wu Jinshi in Yin County, has recently passed away. He has been a Wu Jinshi and has been working in the Sanqian camp. But he died young. A few days ago, his wife and children came to attend the funeral. You also know that the villagers in the village are displaced, so his wife Sun plans to restrain his bones and go back to Yin County. However, when Hong Ruyi was alive, he was also a fool, and he left nothing for his wife and children in the capital. A woman from Sun did not know anything, and she called for the heavens to respond, so she asked to come to the mansion and wanted everyone to help. This is a reasonable thing, but I don't know what the young master thinks?"

When people who go out to work, they can only find a fellow villager when they encounter something. Ye Chunqiu can understand it very well. In fact, Ye Jing has always been doing this. Now when asked Ye Chunqiu's head, Ye Chunqiu said, "Oh, how did your father usually deal with it?"

"It's different." Ye Dong smiled: "In the past, the Ye family was a fellow villager in Ningbo, and they were not high or low. Generally, the Zhou family came to cook for whatever they encountered. But now it's different. Now our Ye family is booming, so we usually look at the Ye family for this kind of raising money first. In the past, the Zhou family gave a 10 tael, and everyone gave it to them. This one was three taels and that five taels can't be given more, but if it's less, the other person has already taken ten taels, but you only took half a hang of money, that's not reasonable."

Ye Chunqiu immediately understood what this kind of thing means. There is a mystery. In the past, everyone looked at the Zhou family, but now, more people are looking at the Ye family first, so you can't give too much money. If you give a few hundred taels at one time, what should you do if you ask others to do? Your family has a big business, and a few hundred taels are just a drizzle, but you can't pay a few hundred taels. If someone takes out a few taels, it's a slap in the face, but you can't take less. If it's a few, it's a disappointment for others to follow suit.

Ye Chunqiu said, "It's a trivial matter for everyone to raise money to treat Uncle Hong's funeral. At most, it's a few hundred taels. What's important is how he, the widow, orphan and widowed mother, will live in the future? The Ye family takes twenty taels, which is a starting point. For the rest, you go and say something, and come here to say hello, which will always give you some convenience."
