Zhou Qingli didn't care about Zhou Zheng's buying a shop, and said with thoughtful eyes, "Your brother can't stay in the Imperial College forever. I plan to transfer him to the Ministry of Revenue to find a seventh rank. What do you think?"

Seeing that Mr. Zhou really didn't care about his business, Zhou Zheng felt relieved and thought about it.

With Zhou Fang's Jinshi and his resume in the Imperial College for two years, if he had planned properly, he would be more than enough to place a magistrate of a superior county or a certain number of six ministries.

The problem is that, firstly, Mr. Zhou has just been promoted and cannot do too much. Secondly, the eunuch party is powerful and the officialdom is boiling. If you are not careful, you may fall into it, which is dangerous.

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and suggested, "Why don't you resign?"

This is Zhou Zheng’s second suggestion. Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and smiled rarely on her face, saying, “I know you are worried about your father, but it’s okay. Although the eunuch party is powerful, there are still many direct ministers, so it’s enough to protect yourself.”

Zhou Zheng heard that Zhou Qingli should have a backer.

But even so, Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "The eunuch party is powerful, no one can resist it, and no backer is stable."

At this time, there is indeed no safe backer. Tianqi will die, Wei Zhongxian will fall, and Chongzhen is repeatedly suspicious. Who dares to say that he can be a tumbler in the officialdom at this time?

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng seriously, guessing his words, and smiled calmly for a moment, saying, "Don't worry about this, let's talk about you."

"Me?" Zhou Zheng was a little confused.

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and paused, saying, "You are crazy and you can't take the exam again. I plan to find an official for you first, so as to avoid any more changes in the future. It can be considered as a way out."

Zhou Zheng blinked and suddenly became stunned.

Since he woke up, he had always had a vague plan for his future path, probably to make money first, and then he would go to seek an official position after he was about to prepare.

After Dad Zhou said this, he realized that he was already "crazy". How could a lunatic take the imperial examination and take the Jinshi exam?

In other words, his fame and fortune have stopped at the level of Juren.

Zhou Zheng has already checked in detail that Juren is qualified to be an official, such as a school official, or a county magistrate.

He thought to himself, but still looked at Dad Zhou and said, "What kind of official do you want to find for me?"

Zhou Qingli said, "The Ministry of Personnel is short of a few officials. If you are willing to go, I will say hello to you."

As a member of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhou Qingli could easily arrange a choreographer. She was in a low position and was not conspicuous. Even though she knew that Zhou was a "crazy man", due to some unspoken rules, everyone turned a blind eye.

Listening to Zhou Qingli's words, Zhou Zheng was seriously thinking about his future path... and the Ming Dynasty's path for the first time.

He would never break his knees, kowtow, and shamelessly flatter him as a servant to the Qing Dynasty.

Zhou Zheng needs to seriously think about the future and said, "I'll think about it first."

Zhou Qingli looked at the second son and sighed silently. A mad illness came, and his whole body changed drastically, and it was sometimes good and sometimes bad, which made him very worried.

I am worried about where I place it, and I want to watch and protect it.

Seeing Zhou Zheng say this, Zhou Qingli didn't say much and said, "Well, control yourself during this period and don't let the outside world spread your crazy illness."

Zhou Zheng nodded, ate and thought.

After the meal, Zhou Zheng left the dining room and returned to the study. He suddenly slapped his forehead and said in annoyance: "I forgot to talk about the marriage."

However, this is not important. At present, Zhou Zheng needs to think carefully and plan his future path.

Sitting on a chair, legs resting on the table, Zhou Zheng's hands overlapped, his expression was calm, and his eyes were flashing.

The Ming Dynasty in front of us is the world of the eunuch party, which basically controls both military and political aspects, and no one can fight for it.

After next year, Chongzhen came to power and liquidated the eunuch party. Then the resumption of the Donglin party will be another big pit.

Chongzhen was a monster who changed his face, and if he was not good at it, he would be sentenced to death. He had been in power for more than ten years and had changed more than thirty ministers. There were hundreds of Shangshu who had never seen them in ancient times. Among these people, few of them had a good end.

These are not real threats. The real threat is that the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, interrupting the Han people's knees, and they all became kneeling slaves.

There are also those massacres, the sentence "Leave your head but not your hair, leave your hair but not your head" deeply hurts Zhou Zheng.

The candle was jumping and slapping, and the room was silent. I don’t know how long it took, but Zhou Zheng’s low voice suddenly came from the room.

"I, Han people, will never be slaves!"

...

Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng, who was refreshed, came to his shop with complete tools with Liu Liuzhe and a group of servants.

As a result, I saw the shop door being smashed open. On the walls, on the roof, inside and outside the house, there was dung everywhere, and it was a mess and smelled like a stinking thing!

Liu Liuzhe was so angry that his face turned pale and said furiously, "Second Young Master, it must be the one with the surname Zhong. Let's go find him!"

Zhou Zheng's face was cold and flames were pounding in his eyes. He looked up to Zhong Fenteng. It turned out to be such a low-level villain!

The seven servants behind Liu Liuzhe were also full of righteous indignation and shouted that they would settle the score with Zhong Fenteng!

The Zhou family is now the official family of the sixth-rank official, and the Zhong family is only a seventh-rank official, and it is not on the same level at all. Therefore, Liu Liuzhe and his servants are all indignant and furious.

"It seems that just a fight can't solve the problem." Zhou Zheng looked at the messy shop and said lightly.

Liu Liuzhe ignored it and said, "Second Young Master, I used to fight lightly, but this time I beat you to death. See if they dare to provoke our Zhou family!"

Zhou Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Liu Liuzhe and whispered: "You slip away quietly. I suspect that Zhong Fenteng and others are watching us nearby and find it out for me!"

When Liu Liuzhe heard this, he immediately whispered: "Okay, Second Master, please be fine!"

After Liu Liuzhe finished speaking, he shouted to the angry servant in front of him, "This is the shop that the second young master bought yesterday. Everyone cleaned it up first. After packing it up, we will go to the Zhong family!"

The family members shouted a few times, and then endured the stench and started cleaning it.

Zhou Zheng couldn't stand this odor and stood far away and watched the group of servants clean up.

This shop is located at the northernmost end of Nanjuxianfang, and behind it is a river, which is a remote place. However, with a river in it, it is much easier to clean it.

On the second floor of a restaurant not far from Zhou Zheng’s shop, Zhong Fendeng watched the Zhou family clean up the feces, feeling so comfortable, and his face was filled with joy and laughed happily: "Zhou Zheng, today is just the beginning. I will throw it to you once a day in the future to see how you do business, hahaha!"

This time there were two servants behind him, one of them said angrily: "Young Master, I think it's too cheap for someone with the surname Zhou. It's so much money that the young master has spent so much money. Why don't we find an opportunity to tie him up and teach him a hard lesson!"

Another cold voice said, "Young Master, I think it's too troublesome. Why don't we burn this shop with a torch tonight? What else can we do if our surname is Zhou!"

Zhong Fendeng heard it even happier and said, "Okay, when they clean up, we will burn his shop tonight!"

The two servants naturally agreed and looked at each other for a while. One of them said, "Young Master, don't forget the time."

Zhong Fendeng's expression frightened, looked up at the sky, suppressed the pleasure in his heart and said, "Don't worry, there is still time, I want to take a good look at Zhou Zheng's face!"

The two servants didn't say anything, and they really had time. Since the young master liked to watch it, that's all.

The shop that Zhou Zheng bought is not big in itself, and Zhou Zheng also plans to decorate it in a shattered manner, so the servants cleaned it up very quickly because they didn’t care about it.

Zhou Zheng looked around and said, "The room on the left is useless. I smashed it. Clear out a road and lay the stone slabs. I will give you the drawings tomorrow and decorate them according to my request..."

Nowadays, decorating a house is simple, but the servants are all familiar with it. There is no problem, so they all respond.

Zhou Zheng was commanding, and Liu Liuzhe came out from somewhere. He leaned into Zhou Zheng's ear and whispered, "Second Young Master, I found it. It's in a restaurant not far behind us, with the surname Zhong and two servants."
