This little girl is so bold that she is not afraid of the governor's authority.
If it were them, they would be so scared after seeing the governor that they were speechless, and their opinions would disappear.
The governor saw Mu Nanjin coming in and asked preemptively: "What do you think? Do you think your official position is too low, or do you think your promotion is too slow? No matter which one you think, it is because of your own lack of effort. If you want to go on missions with us more often, you should get promoted to a thousand households as soon as possible."
A hint of surprise flashed in Mu Nanjin's eyes: "If I'm promoted to a thousand households, can I go on missions with you frequently?"
"Um."
[There is such a good thing. I want to go on a mission with the governor. I will go on missions with the governor in the future. ]
[Uh... No, I just got promoted to the general flag, and there is a centurion and a five-centurion between me and the deputy centurion. Oh, there are still three levels between me and the deputy centurion, how can there be such a big gap? ]
[It's all my fault for not working hard and for being too negative about promotion. How can I get promoted now? ]
The centurions and the governor outside the gate said: "..."
You just met the governor, why did your attitude change immediately?
Girl, you can't resist the attention of men.
The governor asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"
"there is none left."
Mu Nanjin left the office and saw the captain and the governor looking at her speechlessly. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"fine."
The governor-general signaled them to disperse.
After Mu Nanjin and the others left, the governor's assistant walked to the door of the governor's office and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you would use your male beauty to seduce a young girl."
The governor denied: "When did I take advantage of male beauty?"
When the governor-general saw that he did not admit it, he left with a snort.
On the other side, Mu Nanjin returned to Captain Liu's office.
Captain Liu saw that Liu Qian and the others were full of joy and asked with a smile, "You got promoted?"
Liu Qian nodded happily: "Ninth rank now."
He heard from his father that it took many Jinyiwei a year to be promoted from the ninth rank to the regular ninth rank, but it only took him about a month to be promoted.
Captain Liu smiled happily: "Okay."
Or maybe he had foresight and knew that it would be the right thing to assign his son to Mu Nanjin.
"Captain Liu."
Mu Nanjin inserted himself between the father and son.
Captain Liu smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
"How can I get promoted quickly?"
Captain Liu was surprised and asked, "You want to be promoted?"
This is too strange.
Weren't you very opposed to promotion before? Why do you suddenly want to be promoted? Mu Nanjin nodded: "Yes."
Captain Liu asked, "Are you sure you really want to be promoted?"
"Sure."
Captain Liu told her about the situation after the promotion: "You should be promoted to the general flag now, right? The next promotion is to the centurion. The centurion will be in charge of five general flags. Each general flag has 50 people under him, which means you have to manage 250 people. Can you manage them? In addition, you have to take on various tasks, write summaries, etc. Are you sure you want to be promoted?"
Mu Nanjin hesitated after hearing this.
"Can't I just manage the people I recruit?"
Captain Liu paused and said, "Of course. There was a newly promoted captain who only had five small flags in his hand due to the shortage of Jinyiwei. Later, the Duwei Mansion recruited people to gradually increase the manpower. But writing the summary cannot be shirked."
"oh."
[I will just ask Jiayin or Sangtai to write the summary for me then.]
Captain Liu: “…”
Mu Nanjin asked him: "Tell me how you got promoted so quickly?"
Captain Liu thought for a moment and said, "There is actually a way to get you promoted to a centurion right away."
Mu Nanjin's eyes brightened slightly: "What method?"
Captain Liu coughed lightly and said, "The emperor once issued an edict that anyone who can donate 5 million taels of silver to help the victims of the disaster can be promoted to a half-level official position. If the other party is an ordinary citizen, he can directly become a sixth-rank official, which is actually similar to buying an official position. It's just that the silver for buying an official position is a bit more, and this decision is also made to prevent too many people from buying officials."
In fact, this decree was prepared by the emperor for Mu Nanjin, but he did not say it out loud because Mu Nanjin did not like promotion.
Otherwise, how many people in the entire Daqian Kingdom have a net worth of more than five million taels? Even if you have five million taels, it is impossible to spend all your money to buy an idle official.
"Five million taels?" Mu Nanjin asked him, "If I donate another two million taels, can I be promoted to a centurion?"
"Yes."
Mu Nanjin nodded: "Then I will donate another two million taels."
[Even if I donated five million, I am still the richest man, haha. ]
Captain Liu: “…”
He was really curious about how much money Mu Nanjin had stolen.
It's a pity that he couldn't ask.
In fact, Mu Nanjin didn’t know how much money he had.
All we know is that all the banknotes and all the gold and silver add up to about 15 million taels, and there are countless jade jewelry, valuable calligraphy and paintings, and antique porcelain. After selling these, there will be a large sum of money.
Seeing that Captain Liu didn't say anything, Mu Nanjin asked, "Can I go get the flying fish uniform that Captain Liu is wearing now?"
Captain Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You just said you would donate five million taels of silver, but you didn't even donate one tael of silver, and you want to get the official uniform?"
Mu Nanjin turned to Heitan and said, "Heitan, take out all the banknotes you have."
"Oh." Heitan put his hand to his mouth, but when he thought it was not appropriate to take out the banknotes from his mouth, he made an excuse to go to the toilet. When he came back, he held a thick stack of banknotes in his hand: "All the banknotes are here."
Mu Nanjin placed the banknotes in front of Captain Liu and said, "Count how much money there is."
Captain Liu counted the silver bills, adding up to 2.2 million taels: "We still need 2.8 million taels of silver."
Mu Nanjin said to Heitan, "Go home now and fetch another 2.8 million taels of silver and 10,000 dan of grain."
"Yes." Heitan left the Duwei Mansion.
Mu Nanjin asked Captain Liu again, "Do you have any other way to get promoted?"
Captain Liu was puzzled: "Why are you so anxious to get promoted?"
"It's no wonder that all officials want to be promoted."
[I won’t tell you that I want to be promoted to a thousand households as soon as possible in order to go on a mission with the governor.]
“Ahem.”
Captain Liu almost choked to death on his own saliva.
She was promoted for this reason.
Mu Nanjin lost some patience: "Is there one?"
"Yes." Liu Qian said on behalf of his father, "Girl, have you forgotten the military officer competition? If you can get into the top three, you can be promoted to deputy captain, or if you defeat a captain, you can take his place.
Mu Nanjin asked: "When will the martial arts competition be held?"
"According to the usual time, it's almost time."
Liu Qian looked at Captain Liu.
Captain Liu said, "There is still a month until the martial arts competition. If you want to participate, you can sign up in advance."
Mu Nanjin: "I want to be promoted to deputy commander. Which martial arts competition should I sign up for?"
"To be a thousand households, one must be at least a seventh-rank warrior, so an eighth-rank warrior has a greater chance of promotion."
Captain Liu nodded and looked at Liu Qian and the others: "What about you? Do you want to participate in the competition?"
Liu Qian said excitedly: "I want it, I want it, I want to know how strong I am among the fourth-grade warriors."
Xu Cheng, Yang Bo and Liu Qian also wanted to test their own strength and signed up.
An hour later, Heitan brought the silver and grain.
After taking inventory, Captain Liu asked Mu Nanjin to go to the warehouse to get the flying fish uniform for the captain.
Cang Zandian, who was in charge of distributing the Feiyu uniforms, looked at Mu Nanjin with suspicion: "Didn't you just get promoted to a minor flag? You got promoted to a centurion so soon?"
“Are you here to cheat for the Feiyu uniform?” Another man named Zeng, Cang Candian, snatched the order for the Feiyu uniform from Mu Nanjin’s hand. It did say that Mu Nanjin could receive the Feiyu uniform for a hundred households, and there was also a seal of a thousand households at the end. He was surprised and said, “It really is an order for the Feiyu uniform.”
But Mu Nanjin's official position was promoted too quickly, and Zeng Cang Zandian still found it hard to believe that she had such a great ability to be promoted to a centurion in such a short time: "I'll go ask Captain Liu."
The matter of defrauding Feiyu Clothing could be a big or small matter, and they cannot bear the responsibility.
Mu Nanjin nodded.
Zengcang went away quickly to collect the money and came back quickly as well.
When he came back, his attitude had changed 180 degrees: "Captain Mu, Lord Mu, congratulations, congratulations, I am here to congratulate you. I will get the Feiyu suit for you now, please wait here for a moment."
He walked quickly into the warehouse.
Another Cang Zandian also followed in and asked in a low voice: "Did she really get promoted to centurion?"
"Captain Liu admitted it in front of more than a dozen other captains, so it must be true. The girl is really capable. She was promoted from a non-ranking officer to a captain in just a few months. I have never seen anyone promoted so quickly in all my years in the Imperial Guard."
"I heard that she was promoted so quickly because she was the governor."
"That's not someone we can afford to offend."
Zeng Cang Candian came to Mu Nanjin holding two sets of centurion's Feiyu uniforms and said, "Master Mu, here are two sets of centurion's Feiyu uniforms. Please sign for them."
Mu Nanjin signed his name in the notebook and walked towards the gate of the Duwei Mansion holding the Feiyu suit, attracting many people to look back along the way.
The Jinyiwei above the rank of centurion congratulated her one after another, but most of the Jinyiwei below the rank of general flag had a look of contempt and jealousy on their faces.
When Mu Nanjin walked out of the Duwei Mansion, he met Deng Xingchao who had just returned from outside.
The Left Court and the Right Court had always been at odds with each other. The Jinyiwei below the general flag thought that Deng Xingchao would make some sarcastic remarks, and they all looked at them with a look of anticipation.
Unexpectedly, Deng Xingchao smiled happily when he saw Mu Nanjin: "Little girl, I haven't seen you for a while. You have already been promoted to the small flag. Congratulations."
Mu Nanjin: "I am now a centurion."
Deng Xingchao then noticed the centurion's flying fish suit in her arms. He was surprised and said, "You've been promoted to centurion? You've been promoted really fast. However, it's not surprising that you can be promoted so fast with your ability. Work hard, I believe that it won't be long before you can be promoted to thousand households."
The nearby Jinyiwei sneered and whispered, "What ability does she have? The ability to seduce men?"
Mu Nanjin affirmed: "In a month, I will be a thousand households."
Deng Xingchao thought about the promotion he could get in the military officer competition in a month, and laughed out loud: "You can do it."
"Aren't you afraid that promoting her to the rank of Qian Hu so quickly will cause dissatisfaction among the people?"
"I'm not impressed by anything about her except her ability to seduce men."
"The governor promoted her so quickly. Isn't he afraid that the emperor will find out that he is using his power for personal gain?"
Deng Xingchao heard the whispers around him, glanced at them coldly, then patted Mu Nanjin on the shoulder and said, "I look forward to your performance."
Mu Nanjin nodded.
Deng Xingchao didn't say anything more to her and went back to his own academy to deal with some matters.
Mu Nanjin also hurried back to modify the size of the Feiyu suit and left the Duwei Mansion.
When passing the city river, we saw hundreds of Jinyiwei salvaging things in the river.
People stood by the river and watched, it was very lively.
At this time, a Jinyi in the river shouted to Liang Baihu on the other bank: "Liang Baihu, we can't find it."
Other Jinyiwei also said that there was nothing they were looking for in the river.
Captain Liang frowned. They had searched all the way from the Ministry of Revenue to here for four miles but still hadn't found a single ingot of silver. Could it be that Mu Nanjin's information was wrong? That shouldn't be the case. She couldn't have been wrong.
[What are Captain Liang and the others looking for? Could it be the silver that the Minister of Revenue stole? ]
When Captain Liang heard Mu Nanjin's voice, he was delighted. If the little girl was nearby, their hope of finding the silver would be greater.
Sure enough, he heard Mu Nanjin's inner voice again.
[If you are looking for the stolen silver, you will find it a hundred feet ahead. ]
Captain Liang immediately shouted to the Jinyiwei in the river: "Keep looking forward. If we still can't find it by 3 p.m., we'll call it a day."
"yes."
The hundreds of Jinyiwei in the river continued to swim forward. After two quarters of an hour, one of them finally touched a large box in the river.
He quickly emerged from the river and shouted excitedly: "Captain Liang, I think I found a big box."
Then, one by one, the Jinyiwei emerged from the river and shouted, "I also touched the box."
Captain Liang said happily: "Work together to salvage him out."
"yes."
The Jinyiwei were unable to exert any strength in the water, so they could only tie the box with a rope and drag it to the shore.
When one of the boxes was dragged ashore, Captain Liang immediately opened it and took a look, and sure enough, it was filled with silver.
He laughed heartily: "Haha, found it, we found it."
The other Jinyiwei were also happy, at least this day's work was not in vain.
Captain Liang said happily: "Hurry up and pull up the other boxes."
It is really convenient to have Mu Nanjin around, they save a lot of manpower and material resources.
Next, it took everyone two hours to fish out all the boxes, one of which contained a large sealed iron box.
Captain Liang took great pains to open the box, which contained several account books and some unsigned letters, but which were printed with the seal of the Fourth Prince.
The next night, Zuo Xiang came to the cell with a large iron box.
As soon as the Minister of Revenue saw the iron box, he knew he was finished.
"Ha ha."
He sat on the ground, crying and laughing: "I knew it, I knew that with her around, we would find it quickly."
The children of the Minister of Revenue hurried forward and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
The Minister of Revenue kowtowed to the Left Prime Minister and said, "Left Prime Minister, I plead guilty, but my family knows nothing. Please, for the sake of our long-term colleagues, help me plead with the Emperor for mercy."
His family looked at the Minister of Revenue in disbelief. They didn't expect that he actually stole silver from the national treasury.
"The Emperor is not a cruel person. If they know nothing, he will spare their lives."
"Your Majesty, please be merciful." After saying this, the Minister of Revenue stood up, rushed towards the wall next to him and banged his head against it.
"Bang--"
The Minister of Revenue fell to the ground.
"father--"
"master--"
His family screamed in panic.
The left prime minister quickly asked someone to find a doctor.
The next day, all the civil and military officials sighed when they learned that the Minister of Revenue had been killed in the cell.
It also makes them truly realize one thing, that is: there is Mu Nanjin above your head, you are doing it, she is watching.
