"Mrs. diplomacy" is a vanity fair routine since ancient times, Rao is Wu Meiniang does not have any title, but because she has made the secretary smoothly from acting Jiang Han Observation, her status cannot be treated as an ordinary "daughter of a prince". Because this "secretary" is a real "official", in the imperial court bureaucratic sequence, it has more authority than the big orders of some public offices.

Although it is now only said that the "three provinces" and even the three provinces are about to "exist in name only", this kind of "preciousness" can still be seen.

Now Shangshu Zuo Servant and Jiangxi Governor Fang Qiao have also set up a "secretariat", which is the official official of the Governor's Office to convey policies to lower-level departments.

Although it is not about policy implementation, its importance is self-evident.

Wu Meiniang can be an official, this is not unusual, a large number of girls from the national dynasty are officials, not Zhang Dekai's head, but the "two saints" in the mom-and-pop shop.

Strictly speaking, the eldest grandson queen herself is an "official", and her duty is to "set an example in the harem", and later her family has a big business, so she has changed from "harem model" to "managing the harem". Later, the queen herself had more and more money in her hands, and the family history of the concubines in the harem no longer had any "deterrent", and it changed from "managing the harem" to "ruling the harem".

During this period, the power of the inner government gradually slipped into the hands of the queen, and the profits of the East Palace became controlled by the queen, and the planning of the mom-and-pop shop became a typical "male protagonist outside, female protagonist inside".

The scale of the store is getting bigger and bigger, and the business is getting more and more prosperous. However, it is necessary to take the risk of hiring people, and the family business cannot trust outsiders, so the mom-and-pop shop runs its own school, or recruits relatives from among the domestic servants.

So the yin and yang people died and the eunuchs also had a school, and the talented maidservants in the palace immediately stood out. In the old days, the hard-working and brain-working people in the palace immediately became the "officials" in the hands of the queen, not only able to manage the affairs of the palace, but also to supervise outside.

Up and down, in order to pat the sycophants, the yamen are also racking their brains, how to cooperate with the "two saints", so as to leave a good impression, among which the best is the Taiyi Department.

A large number of "small-handed midwives" trained in Wuhan, a large part of which were requisitioned to the Tai Medical Department.

Of course, the Imperial Medical Department did not dare to be presumptuous, and directly demanded it, but Empress Yuming, and then the queen sent angels to Wuhan to do an investigation, and then signed an "employment intention" with the "small hand midwives", and then returned to Beijing to resume his life.

"Female nurses" and "female doctors" can become famous, and the imperial medical department has a great relationship with the sycophancy, the nobles who are attached to the imperial power have found convenience, obtained benefits, and greatly reduced the premature death rate and preserved the mother, the largest group of female officials, can be regarded as officially on the stage of history.

However, the status of the doctor is not high, and the mainstream of society will not think that there is anything about it, and it is only the behavior of a "husband among women" like Wu Meiniang that people are shocked.

In the boudoir women, or in the group of women in the imperial court, Wu Meiniang and Li Wanshun are all well-known figures in their respective regions. And the latter, because of her father's particularity, there are not many people who are willing to praise her seriously. On the contrary, because Wu Meiniang has no background obstacles, Wuhan can shake off her cheeks and blow wildly.

At first, the officials of various states and counties only thought that Zhang De had a whim and wanted to spoil his little wife, but they never expected that when Wu Meiniang was in charge of silkworm weaving, her performance was extremely eye-catching, not only did the area of mulberry forests increase greatly, but also absorbed two or three thousand weaver girls from Huangzhou to work in Chuzhou.

This performance, just pick a county order, is in the middle and upper part of the performance appraisal, and if there is a vacancy, it will definitely be able to rise.

After that, Wu Erniang was transferred back to the palace for appointment, and this time many officials shut up, and no one was disobedient. After Fang Xuanling went to Nanchang and set up a new "secretariat" in the above table, the post of secretary of the "secretariat" of the Jianghan Observation Embassy was successfully in the hands of Wu Meiniang.

Although it is a court approved from the eighth grade, it is obviously more powerful than the county orders of Wuchang, Yongxing, Jiangxia, Hanyang and other counties.

It's just that the official document of the ministry has not yet been officially down, although Wu Meiniang has been in charge of business, but in the end she is not an "official", and this window period has simply made Wuhan officialdom and even local tyrants on both sides of the Yangtze River excited.

Because if the official document comes down, Wu Meiniang will officially become "Secretary Wu", and when the time comes, give her a gift, it is called bribery. But at the moment, there is no "official body", giving her a gift, that is called winning affection.

It happened that there were signs of "inadequacy" in the "Han Yue Chi Road", and Wuhan's "large-scale construction of civil engineering" was a very probable event, but it was said that there was a specific way to "build large-scale construction".

At the same time that Lao Zhang invited the Jiangnan bureaucracy and technical departments to have a meeting, Wu Meiniang's entertainment gradually multiplied, and she had to deal with the "county lady", "country lady" and "XX daughter" who "came here" from morning to night, so many that it was dizzying.

The diversity and scarcity of gifts really opened the eyes of Wu Erniang, and she knew for the first time that the power of the original "official" was much greater than the power of the "head of the family", and it was so much cooler.

No wonder so many people want to be officials.

In the case of "Mrs. Diplomacy", Wu Erniang not only did not exhaust herself, but because of the nourishment of power, she was extremely energetic and devoted herself to socializing. Entertainment can't be a one-man show, since it's a two-way temptation, for Wu Erniang, it is not too convenient to "get to the bottom" for many wealthy families on both sides of the Yangtze River.

"How can there be so much?"

Looking at the stack of "gift lists" counted by Wu Meiniang, although Lao Zhang was mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised, he never expected that this time "Han Yue Chi Dao" could attract so many people.

The "gift list" was divided into categories by Wu Meiniang, which ones could not be mixed up in the township, which ones were the families of political defeated dogs, and which ones were rich and willful...... They were all sorted out by Wu Meiniang one by one.

"I think it's less." Wu Meiniang raised her chin a little proudly, because she was in charge of housework, which also made her originally somewhat round figure, and she became "thinner" in a few years, although her chin did not become an awl, but the "baby fat" on the tip of her chin has completely disappeared.

"That's less? I'm afraid that if it's not a big family on both sides of the river, everyone who can talk is here. ”

"Why don't you eat minced meat?"

Wu Meiniang looked at Lao Zhang, shook her head and sighed.

"Why don't I eat minced meat?"

was amused by Wu Erniang's laughter, Lao Zhang asked her, "Tell me, how can I 'why not eat minced meat'?" ”

"You have been in Wuhan for a long time, building bridges and paving roads, and even building ponds and dams to build reservoirs, you don't feel like anything. In response to the stone, cement, steel, and iron produced in Wuhan, there is a big project, and it can be used cleanly. Therefore, the large local enterprises involved in various industries in Wuhan are naturally good because they do not worry about sales. ”

While talking, Wu Erniang kneaded Lao Zhang's shoulders at the same time, and the two of them had a small tacit understanding before they went to bed at night. In the year of establishment, although I often masturbated iron and squatted, "occupational diseases" still came out, and the typical one was cervical spondylosis.

Only by aligning with the acupuncture points and kneading soothingly will you feel comfortable. And this kind of private thing is obviously impossible to throw to outsiders to do, Lao Zhang promised, and the women in the family would not agree.

"The same may be true of Chang'an, Luoyang, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou, but in the end they are not as prosperous as Wuhan. The original intention of building bridges and paving roads elsewhere may not be similar to that of Wuhan. ”

"That makes sense, but what does it have to do with 'why not eat minced meat'?"

"Why doesn't it matter? You only think that cement, fine iron and other in-demand things are always in the market, I only say that cement, such as going to Jingzhou, is not in demand for a while. Most of them are used by powerful people for their own use, do you see that even half of them are used to build bridges and pave roads, or just to build a school building? ”

"What do you mean?"

"The urgency of the powerful is a temporary quantity, but only 'building a large number of buildings' is a long-term demand. Those who built cement factories sold to the powerful for a while, and then they had no place to go, so they had to desperately transport the cement to Chang'an, Luoyang, and Wuhan. ”

Suddenly, Lao Zhang understood what she meant: "You mean, these people who have purchased cement factories actually want to move all the properties to Wuhan?" ”

"It is this reason that when you see how much cement is consumed in Wuhan, you feel that it is the same elsewhere, but how can there be more 'bridge and paving roads' elsewhere? Only here in Wuhan is it non-stop, without a moment of rest. So these gift-givers just want to make a long-term appearance. Saying that you 'why don't you eat minced meat' is wrong? ”

"Nonsense, of course it's wrong. If these people don't come to Wuhan, they won't starve to death, which one is not Wanguan's wealth? ”

"I'm just like that, why are you messing around?"

"Where am I messing around?"

"Don't press it!"

Wu Erniang's willow eyebrows were upside down, she clapped her hands, and directly didn't knead Lao Zhang's shoulders, staring at him with apricot eyes.

"Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong. I'm 'why don't you eat minced meat', you press it twice, I'm sour these days......"

"Phew! Shameless ......"
