.In a blink of an eye, it is Laba. The ranking of novels completed.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the errands in the yamen office are getting busier and busier.

Cao Ke went from the yamen office to his home every day, and the two points and one line was very busy. Almost every day, it took dusk to return home.

However, by the end of the year, there are more social engagements and several greetings received every day.

Some people don’t have a relationship, some are too lazy to deal with it. Cao Keduo quit and rarely arranges to entertain guests at night.

Then, on that day, he told his wife in advance to arrange dinner and keep guests.

Chu Yu was also full of joy.

The reason is nothing else. The one who came here tonight was not someone else's, and it was Zhao Tong who had been out for many years.

After Zhao Tong was released, he served as a county magistrate for three consecutive years. He was favored by several officials of the Ministry of Justice for making achievements in the title of theft and punishment. He was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Justice. He was originally back to Beijing at the end of last year.

Unexpectedly, Ortai had many positions of officials who had "changed land and returned to the current" in the southwest, and asked the court for people.

Because Yunnan and Guizhou are in a remote place, they are not easy to be a migrant official, and have always been regarded as a miserable person.

The Ministry of Personnel was originally planning to select officials from the alternate officials, but the emperor personally inquired about this matter. He issued an order to transfer a group of officials who were "outstanding" in the "Beijing Inspection" to the southwest.

The news came out that everyone in Beijing had to work hard

Cao Ge did not think that the southwest was a difficult situation. Even if Zhao Tong made achievements in the name of punishment, he would have to return to the capital. It would be just a gangster who destroyed the crowd. It would be better to find another way.

Because Zhao Tong was a donation official, it was not easy to get promoted, so in order to make him successful in his political achievements, Cao Po helped him choose a difficult place when he sent officials in his early years.

Even so, I endured three terms before I was promoted.

Cao Yi didn't say anything after Zhao Tong's lack. Of course, he still met Zhao Tong and mentioned his views on the opportunities in the southwest.

So Zhao Tong's chief minister of the Ministry of Justice was sent to the southwest a few days after he took office, becoming the sixth-rank magistrate of the same grade. He was reborn in the late Kangxi period and completed the list of all chapters and novels.

Some officials who failed in "Mancha" and "big plan" were gloating.

Even Chu Yu’s thought of the hard work for Xicai.

Obviously, Cao Po’s view is correct. The Southwest is indeed unlimited.

However, in half a year, Zhao Tong became a sixth-rank magistrate and became a fifth-rank magistrate, and became a seal officer again.

Now Zhao Tong is with several other officials from Yunnan and Guizhou to come back to Beijing to meet him. He is not allowed to come to the Cao family to pay his respects.

Zhao Tong was born to the Cao family, and Cao Yi only obtained a household registration after applying for an account.

But according to the worldly love, Zhao Tong and his descendants should take the ritual of master and slavery to the Cao family.

Therefore, when he saw Cao Po, Zhao Tong kowtowed and gave a big gift.

In the early years, Zhao Tong was arranged to re-officially to help him improve his progress, and on the other hand, he wanted to grow up a house and be weak, and he had many strengths in the officialdom.

The second cousins ​​who had been waiting for him took office one after another, Cao Po's thoughts became weak.

However, Cao Po was still not stingy about the care he could give after Zhao Tong's love for several years.

It is precisely this that Zhao Tong can gain a foothold in difficult places and achieve political achievements.

Zhao Tong was really grateful. Cao Ke did not receive his courtesy and avoided him sideways. He asked him to help him, "I am just a small task. In the final analysis, you are still fighting for your best..."

From Cao Po's arrival in Beijing and Zhao Tong's resignation to the government, Zhao Tong had been with Cao Po for nearly ten years, and the master and servant were very close to each other.

Although they were far apart in their early years, Zhao Tong sent people to Beijing to send holiday gifts every year, and they often greeted him, but the two did not feel unfamiliar.

Cao Po asked Zhao Tong to sit down, and after a few family matters, he asked about local affairs in the southwest: "I heard that the Hubei Supervisor used Western firearms when he pacified the Miao chaos in the southwest?"

Zhao Tongdao: "That is, I asked for an order and transported directly from Guangzhou Customs. Most of them are mainly fire-coordination. There are small cannons and fewer cannons. I was reborn in the late Kangxi period and ranked the novels of all chapters and novels."

Cao Po thought for a while and said, "In addition to Zhuangzi of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Yunnan and Guizhou, the Hubei Supervisor asked people to plant opium?"

This is what he cares most about. In his early years, he thought about "treating others with the same method" and "helping others with the same method" to pick up the Ministry of Internal Affairs to grow crows in Yunnan and Guizhou. In recent years, the Crows in Guangzhou Customs has also made the Ministry of Internal Affairs get a considerable profit every year.

There are also various finished pills sold in Mongolia, and there are also many crow tablets in it.

Zhao Tong hesitated for a moment, and said, "Not only did he plant it..., Lord E also included opium planting in the name of tribute" "'

"Tribute? Gongyu Pharmacy?" Cao Po heard this and guessed Ortai's intention and his expression became solemn: "Could it be that Ortai still sells opium in Yunnan and Guizhou?"

As early as the Ministry of Internal Affairs decided to plant cloves in Yunnan and Guizhou, Cao Po submitted a "no smoking" note.

Crowds are harmful to people and should only be sold outside, not domestically.

Zhao Tong nodded and said, "The Governor's Office specially arranged human trafficking, and the quantity was limited. In Yunnan and Guizhou, there was already a shortage of supply and a price of one tael of opium and one tael of gold... Driven by interests, there are people among the people who have privately grown tobacco, but the Governor's Office has used thunder means to suppress it. In the past six months, more than a dozen people have been imprisoned and hanged...",

Ortai acted like this, but was just a similar behavior to the Sixteenth Prince's "poisoning" Mongolia. Cao Po felt heavy in his heart after hearing this.

The southwest is in chaos, which is different from Mongolia. The top 10 novels are ranked in the top 10

Mongolia and the Central Plains are blocked, and the current traffic information is not as convenient as later generations; the southwest ethnic groups live in harmony with the Han people, and are the inner leaders of the Qing Dynasty.

Although the ravens can destroy a large number of local officials, if you are not careful, it will affect the local area.

Thinking of this, Cao Yi asked, "Since the local officials are popular with eating crows, what about the officials?"

One or two gold and one or two crows, the price is really not low. It is a legend for the people, but for officials, it is not unaffordable. The ranking of the fictional historical novels

Zhao Tong thought for a while and said, "I heard that some people started to learn to eat opium. Later, there was a message from the Governor's Office, saying that it was Lord E who said that "the honest official could not afford to eat opium... Then, the official who ate opium was deprived of his post for greed, and opium became a taboo in the officialdom of Yunnan and Guizhou...,—"

Cao Ke was very disappointed when he heard this.

The ban on smoking is too small. Even if the governor of Ortai is left to reveal his likes and dislikes, it is difficult to guarantee that someone deceives his superiors and hides his subordinates.

I saw that it was time to remind the Sixteenth Prince that it was time to pay attention to Yunnan and Guizhou tobacco...

Cao Ke kept Zhao for dinner and invited Jiang Jian to be a guest.

In addition to congratulating Zhao Tong and being the official seal, Jiang Jian was concerned about local criminal affairs in Yunnan and Guizhou.

In addition to implementing the Qing Dynasty laws, there are also some local regulations that have been agreed upon in Yunnan and Guizhou, which are very different from the Han rituals and laws. Jiang Jian listened with relish.

Seeing this, Cao Po couldn't help but sigh.

Although Jiang Jian had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he liked it the most and was good at the matter of punishment. Staying with Cao Yi as a clerk was really useless.

After dinner, Zhao Tong said goodbye and left, Cao Yi left Jiang Jian to mention the fact that he recommended him to serve in office again: "Not Phosphorus, Ortai has made great efforts in Yunnan and Guizhou, and in recent years, there are great opportunities for Yunnan and Guizhou... Non Phosphorus has essence and punishment, and it is difficult to learn from the strengths of the director according to my wishes. It can be considered as the shortcomings of Yunnan and Guizhou.... The top 10 novels are ranked in the top 10."

Jiang Jian was stunned when he heard this, then waved his hand and said, "The adults misunderstood. Students did not have the intention to become an official inquiries about the crimes of Yunnan and Guizhou... They were taken care of by their parents. After a few young days, the students were very content. Recently, they had a thought...."

It turns out that Jiang Jian is concerned about the criminal name of Yunnan and Guizhou, not because he is interested in the career, but because he is accumulating material. The top 10 novels are ranked in the top 10.

"Which book is written, what is the name of the punishment?" Cao Po was surprised: "How did Fei Zi think of this book editing?"

Everything is inferior, but reading is high.

Editing books in the sect is definitely a matter of elegance, and it is truly a reward for both fame and fortune.

However, the premise is that it is a book of sages and sages, a book of respecting etiquette and respecting Confucianism.

Books on the name of punishment cannot be considered the right path, but can only be classified as miscellaneous books.

As an aide, Jiang Jian joined the Cao family for many years. He said that he did not play his strength in the name of punishment he was good at, but he also did his best and was relied on by Cao Po.

Cao Po treated people and has always been lenient.

I was like this to Mr. Zhuang in my early years, and now I am the same for Jiang Jian.

In addition to buying land for Jiang Jian to buy property, he is not stingy at all.

In addition, Cao Ge is in a high position, Jiang Jian, as his confidant, is often filial to outsiders.

Over the years, it was also quite a lot of numbers, enough for him to be free for the rest of his life.

Since last year, Cao Po has had two serious illnesses, and after he is sick, he often shows his intention to retire. Jiang Jian thought he was confused after he was sick.

A few days ago, he received a clear letter from Cao Po.

Cao Po had no intention of entering the cabinet and would write a memorial to "retire from illness" in a few years.

Jiang Jian was moved after hearing this.

He is about 10 years older than Cao Po, and in the eyes of the world, he has gradually grown from middle age to old age.

Even if Cao Ke retired, he did not plan to change his boss.

Hearing Cao Ke asked, Jiang Jian smiled and said, "The students around him are not short of money. In addition to teaching children, they also want to find something that suits their hearts, but they think of editing books..." He did not seek fame and fortune, but just wanted to come to this world for nothing..."

Cao Po was very envious when he heard this. He wanted to say that he had joined in the fun, but he could see Jiang Jian's eyes shiny, so he swallowed his words again.

After all, he was in a high position and every move, how many people were watching.

Even if he really wanted to "assist" Jiang Jian's editing books, it became his dominance in the eyes of the world, and it was suspected of being too dominant...

The next day, I was on the shift of the Ministry of Revenue.

Cao Po got up early as usual and took a bus from Xizhimen to the Old Summer Palace.

The affairs reported by the Ministry of Revenue were some of the relief matters in Jiangnan; the Ministry of War was still all military information in the northwest, and nothing new was happening.

It was the end of the year, and nothing new was the good thing.

Yongzheng seemed to have already come out of the pain of losing his son, with a rosy complexion and a good complexion.

Not only did he look good, he seemed to be in a good mood.
To be continued...
