Chapter 821 Female Ban Chao
What does Su Yunyan want to do?
She wants to be the female Ban Chao of Yunzhou.
Ban Chao led only 36 people to attack the Xiongnu delegation at night, forcing Shanshan to submit to the Han Dynasty, and became famous in one battle.
Then, he captured Khotan by strategy, pacified Shule, defeated Shache, and conquered fifty countries in the Western Regions by himself. He was named Marquis Dingyuan, stationed in the Western Regions for thirty-one years, and wrote the poem "One man can be as strong as a million soldiers"!
"The Han Dynasty can say that anyone who openly offends the mighty Han will be punished no matter how far away they are. We in Yunzhou have firearms and strength. With Yunzhou as our backing, we have nothing to fear!"
Su Yunyan stood up, and the golden sunlight shone on her, as if her whole body was glowing.
She said: "To clear up the land, to bring order to the wilderness, to pacify the nations, to pacify the four directions! This is what I want to do."
Wei Muri's ears clapped, and her eyes were full of stars: "Sister, although I don't understand, I can feel the murderous intent and heroism in it! I will fight you."
Mei Tang stroked his forehead, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Sure enough, kowtowing is not in vain.
Here comes the opportunity to achieve great things!
"Madam Su, I will go and get ready now."
…
Kyoto.
Lumei hurried and finally caught up with Gu Nanxi and arrived in Kyoto.
When she arrived at the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, it was dinner time.
Gu Nanxi sat alone at the dining table, on which there was only a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles.
Even though the meal was so simple, the master ate it with gusto.
"Master..." Lumei's tears fell.
"Lumei is here. Come sit down and have something to eat. All the cooks in our house have run away. This is the new cook. Her cooking skills are definitely not as good as yours."
Lu Mei sat down obediently, feeling bitter in her heart: "Master, people are made of iron and food is made of steel. You are the pillar of all of us. If something happens to you, what should we do?"
Gu Nanxi waved her hand and said indifferently: "It's just a special period. The food supply in Kyoto is tight, and they have cut off the food supply route to Jiangnan. We can't buy food from Jiangnan. When the food and grass from Yunzhou arrive, we won't have to do this anymore."
Lumei nodded and started drinking her porridge.
The porridge is cooked to be extremely soft and sticky, but no matter how superb the cooking skills are, without other ingredients, the porridge is just a bowl of porridge.
Lumei felt sorry for Gu Nanxi. She had gained weight with great difficulty in Governor Yunzhou, but in such a short time after coming to Kyoto, she had lost weight again!
"Master, where is Dalang?"
"I sent him to contact his friends. Yunzhou was already short of people, and after taking over Jingdu, the gap is even bigger. At this time, we can only recruit talents regardless of their background. Let's first set up Jingdu, and then we can talk about other things."
After Gu Nanxi took over Kyoto, he immediately issued a notice requiring all officials above the third rank to report to the palace within three days. If they passed the assessment, they could be assigned appropriate positions according to the situation.
As a result, Gu Nanxi waited for three whole days but didn't see a single hair.
Lumei: "Could it be that they all fled to Jiangnan?"
Gu Nanxi shook her head: "Liu Yunzhang, the governor of the Eastern Capital, Li Hanyun, the Imperial Censor, and others did not go with him."
As if thinking of something, Gu Nanxi laughed: "I originally thought that the treatment I proposed was not good enough and they were unwilling. Later, Dalang said that they thought I was fishing to lure them out and then find an excuse to raid their house."
Lumei was speechless. Although her master was a bit careless, he would not use such despicable means for a bunch of small fry.
Lu Mei said angrily: "Humph, people with a heart will find everyone dirty!"
Kyoto is really short of people. It takes a lot of people just to be responsible for the distribution of food to millions of people.
Gu Nanxi had no choice but to send out another notification.
This time, the requirements were relaxed, the rank was lowered to the sixth rank, and there was no assessment. Basically, it was just a background check, and as long as they were not in through connections and had some real skills, they would be assigned a position.
Even so, few people came to report.
Gu Nanxi was furious and wrote directly to Cui Sanlun, asking him to return to Kyoto to help take charge of the situation.
At the same time, Su Xuanming was asked to contact the students in the opposition and promise that as long as they were willing to come, everyone would be guaranteed a job.
Of course, it won’t work just relying on these people.
Gu Nanxi asked Wang Buxi to organize a temporary civil servant recruitment exam, which would recruit grassroots positions with no age or gender restrictions.
As long as you have enough ability, even if you are only ten years old, Gu Nanxi dares to appoint you to an official position!
As soon as this recruitment notice was released, the entire north, except for Kyoto and Xiangzhou, was plunged into a sea of joy.
Xinye County, home of Lu Zhuqing.
Runniang held a copy of the Yunzhou Weekly and danced with joy, "Duke Yun really didn't lie to us. This recruitment is open to all genders! Hahaha! Dad, Mom, Grandma, I want to take the exam!"
Ever since Lu Zhuqing gave up Xinye County, he seemed to have lost his energy and spirit. He either went to the river to fish with a fishing rod, or lay in the yard with a teacup in his hand, basking in the sun.
He couldn't keep up with the pace of Yunzhou officialdom, nor could he get used to the concise Yunzhou documents. His decades of experience in officialdom was useless in Yunzhou officialdom.
When the night was quiet, he questioned his choice, but when he saw his family members looking radiant, the injustice and grievance he felt disappeared.
If no one in my family is an official, then there is none.
In Yunzhou, being a rich man is also very good.
Lu Zhuqing snatched the "Yunzhou Weekly" and took a careful look. Indeed, there was no gender or age setting, and the job location was still Kyoto!
This is a Beijing official!
Lu Zhuqing's lips kept trembling, and his beard was shaking. He slammed the table and shouted, "Take the test! Take the test! Lang Er, take the test too!"
Runniang smiled happily, she was very confident in herself.
The battle in Kyoto brought many more orphans to Kyoto. Duke Yun established two more welfare homes, both of which were looking for managers.
Runniang's goal is to be the manager of the welfare home! She has experience and truly loves this line of work, so she is determined to get this position!
…
Kyoto.
In the Song Mansion, an oil lamp emits warm light.
Tan Sanniang sat at the table, dazed.
"Madam, I'm back. Didn't I tell you that you don't need to wait for me to come home and you can rest on your own? I've been very busy these days, and sometimes I sleep directly in the Marquis' Mansion."
Song Zhizhou glanced at the table. There was fish, meat, white rice and noodles, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables.
He frowned, thinking of his godmother's food. He wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
Madam is just caring about herself and is not wasting money on purpose.
Tan Sanniang was very good at sensing other people's emotions, and explained, "This was sent by my godmother, who said you work hard, so you should eat something good."
"Oh, I misunderstood ma'am, I'm sorry."
Tan Sanniang pursed her lips tightly, took a deep breath, and said what she had been thinking about for a long time: "Zhizhou, I also want to participate in this recruitment."
"Ah?" Song Zhizhou was at a loss. His wife was the most traditional and was recognized as a virtuous woman.
She actually said that she wanted to participate in the recruitment.
"But what did I do wrong?"
Tan Sanniang shook her head and said seriously: "I am still young, I want to try a different path."
"Well, okay. If you don't like that road, it's the same if you go home." Song Zhizhou smiled confidently and calmly.
He has worked hard for many years, isn't it just to let his family live a free life?
If my wife wants to fight, then go for it. I can always support her!
