Chapter 6

Other than the fact that her residence was not good,

Next, Mother Jia doted on Daiyu very much,

Her treatment was better than Tanchun and the others.

Daiyu could not stand such good treatment.

She did not want to be hated by her sisters as soon as she arrived.

Moreover, she was not a good person. It was not easy to be on good terms with others. Mother Jia's obvious difference in treatment made her not know what to do.

At this time, Lady Wang's sister, Aunt Xue,

Brought her son and daughter to Rongguo Province.

On the other side, He Shen was sitting in front of Qianlong and talking to him about the establishment of the bank in detail.

Qianlong had been very satisfied with his performance when he was the Minister of Cloth Treasury.

At this time, when he heard He Shen mention the "bank",

Qianlong did not feel that he was full of nonsense,

Instead, he began to understand it seriously.

By the time He Shen finished speaking in front of him, Qianlong had already slapped the table in amazement.

"My beloved minister's mind is really flexible. You can actually come up with such a method. Good, good, good, why don't you go back and write a detailed account and hand it over. I'll take a look again."

He Shen bowed and agreed.

In the later years, the bank account rose in Shanxi and collapsed in the late Qing Dynasty. The Qing government built an official bank account,

And due to the economic crisis,

The credibility of the bank account was not as good as before, and it closed down one after another.

And what He Shen wanted to do..,

Was to establish an official bank account in advance.

At the same time, he wanted to form a more stable relationship,

So that the bank account would not be like in history,

It would only flourish for a while and quickly disappear.

And from a more macroscopic national level,

Having a stable national bank could also better develop the national economy and improve the national strength.

So, whether it was out of selfish desire or a slightly greater sentiment,

He Shen was determined to establish a national bank and support the bank account.

This was a process that history had to go through, and what he wanted to do was to advance this stage as much as possible in a reasonable way.

"Go ahead," Qianlong said in a low voice. There was still a lingering excitement on his face.

Qianlong hoped that he could achieve more and better feats than his father, but feats were not easy to achieve.

Now, He Shen was giving him a way out, so how could Qianlong refuse?

He wished he could drive He Shen back and make him write a memorial in one night.

However, Qianlong also knew that this kind of memorial wasn't something that could be easily written, so he didn't rush He Shen. He even said, "We will allow you to take a few days off."

He Shen's heart skipped a beat, but he wasn't thinking about writing the memorial. He was thinking about Daiyu.

He didn't show it on his face. He bowed and thanked Qianlong before leaving.

After he left, the more Qianlong thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't even sleep. He ordered the little eunuch beside him to grind an ink stick. That night, he called a scholar from the Hanlin Academy to write an imperial edict and handed it to the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Cabinet.

Qianlong was decisive in his actions. Ordinary people couldn't stop him.

The next day, although the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Cabinet had many doubts and even felt that it didn't conform to the rules, he still issued the imperial edict in the end.

He Shen was sitting at home when he received such good news.

He had been promoted again.

And this time, it was even more amazing. Qianlong gave him the position of assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

How high was this position?

In the Ming Dynasty, it was a third-rank official. In the Qing Dynasty, it was a second-rank official.

He Shen spent only a few years to sit in the second-rank official position.

Where was the most obvious difference?

It was his residence. He dared to call it a residence in the future.

Heshen respectfully received the imperial edict and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In history, He Shen's road to promotion was very fast.

Almost every month or two, Qianlong felt uncomfortable if he didn't promote him. In the end, he was given the position of chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a second-rank official.

And at this time, He Shen was very young.

He was only twenty-six years old.

In history, Qianlong was indeed an absurd emperor. But for the current He Shen, it was exactly what he wanted.

If everything was done according to etiquette, He Shen definitely wouldn't be able to reach this step.

Just the age alone was enough to firmly suppress him.

When the imperial edict was issued that day, it naturally set off a huge uproar. But this uproar had just started, and then it sank again.

The most talked about in the capital was how powerful He Shen was, how he received the emperor's appreciation, and how he could be used as a role model for all scholars in the world.

Even Lin Ruhai, Jia Yucun, and the others received the letter and wrote letters to congratulate him.

Of course, that was all in the future.

At this time, He Shen was in his residence, peacefully writing his memorial.

Halfway through, he pretended to be fidgety and uneasy, threw down his brush and ink, and stepped out of the door.

Qianlong had been paying attention to the movements on the other side, so naturally, he was also watched. Although there was no evil intention, He Shen still found out early on.

Therefore, He Shen's feigned fidgety and uneasy behavior was reported to Qianlong.

"He's a bit hot-tempered. He fell and went out. After all, he's still a young man. He can't do great things." That person said to Qianlong.

However, Qianlong laughed and looked at that person with a reproachful gaze. "You can't say that. He's young. It's already not easy for him to reach this stage.

Who else in the past said those words? Just this point alone, no matter how hot-tempered he is, he's worthy of it.

How can there be a perfect person in the world? If he's young, has the ability to be astute, and has a calm and steady attitude. "

Qianlong shook his head. "I'm afraid he's transformed from a demon."

That person restrained his emotions and nodded. "Your Majesty is wise. I didn't think of this at all."

Hearing this, Qianlong laughed. Then, he waved his hand and sent that person away.

"You don't need to care about what he's doing. If he holds it in too much, he might do something that young people like to do."

Qianlong wouldn't take such a small matter to make things difficult for an official he admired.

Even if He Shen went out and went straight to a brothel or a gambling den, no matter how unhappy he was, he could still fight with someone.

However, He Shen went straight to the outskirts of the city.

Today, the person who accompanied He Shen out was Steward Liu's son, Liu Quan.

This person was older than He Shen. He wasn't tall, but his limbs were strong and he was very capable. He spoke more than Steward Liu, but he never made any mistakes.

According to history, this person was indeed one of He Shen's loyal servants.

The carriage swayed all the way up the mountain and finally stopped outside a Taoist temple.

The words "Quiet" were written on the plaque of the Taoist temple. Just like these two words, the inside and outside of the Taoist temple were quiet and there was no noise to disturb them.

He Shen got out of the carriage and stepped into the temple.

Liu Quan followed closely behind.

At this time, a Taoist child and a manservant stopped He Shen. "The Taoist priest won't be seeing any guests today."

Liu Quan's face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, He Shen raised his hand and gestured. Liu Quan lowered his head and shut his mouth.

"Then let's wait for a while," He Shen said.

However, the manservant looked at He Shen. Suddenly, his face changed. No one knew what he was thinking.

After about half an hour, the manservant looked at He Shen over and over again, as if he was trying to determine He Shen's identity.

Finally, the manservant bowed and asked timidly, "Are you Assistant Minister He?"

He was young, imposing, and extraordinarily handsome. The manservant felt that he had seen him before.

After all, he used to accompany Second Master and sent him to the imperial court. He had seen Second Master's colleagues a few times.

His identity seemed to be on the verge of being revealed.

He Shen certainly knew which family the manservant belonged to. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here.

However, he still pretended to be confused. He looked at the manservant up and down and nodded. "Which family do you belong to?"

The manservant hurriedly said, "I serve Second Master of Rongguo Province. I had the honor of meeting Assistant Minister He before."

After saying that, the manservant smiled fawningly.

Most of the servants in Rongguo Province ran amok. However, in front of nobles, they all behaved the same. No one dared to act rashly.

The manservant pushed the Taoist child. "Go and report to the Taoist priest."

The manservant was always by Jia Zheng's side because he knew how to read people's faces. At this moment, he had an idea. Second Master liked to interact with scholars the most.

This Assistant Minister He was the top scholar in the imperial examination. He was very impressive.

He had just received favor and was in the limelight right now.

Second Master should be happy to interact with him.

The Little Taoist staggered a little from the push. However, he didn't dare to complain. He quickly turned around and obediently went to report the news.

Not long after, the Little Taoist came out.

Jia Zheng and the thin Xuan Tong Daozhang, who was wearing a loose Taoist robe, came out together with him.

The Xuan Tong Daozhang wanted to smile at He Shen, but He Shen avoided him.

The Xuan Tong Daozhang was stunned. Then, he understood something. He hurriedly maintained his posture and didn't look sideways.

Jia Zheng walked in front and didn't notice this detail.

Although Jia Zheng was an official in the same imperial court as He Shen, he didn't pay much attention to He Shen.

It was all because He Shen's arrogance was too strong. Jia Zheng tried his best to be a good official, but he couldn't do it well. He had interacted with many poor scholars, and had seen many talented people who couldn't get a good scholarly reputation.

He Shen was an exception from the moment he appeared in the imperial court.

He became the top scholar without any effort.

He didn't see how he could serve the people and the country, so he was promoted all the way.

In the past, Jia Zheng didn't want to look him in the eye. However, he had no choice but to do so now.

With this look, Jia Zheng was stunned.

It turned out that this young top scholar wasn't as cunning as he thought.

On the contrary, he was born with a handsome face.
