Chapter 442: The Scholar's Daughter Who Died Tragically After Being Drained of Everything ()
After their official positions were confirmed, Li Fan and Li Jin plunged into their work and began to work hard to develop their connections in official circles.
As for business, Liu Yufei was also doing very well.
Especially the business of beauty salons is very popular in Beijing.
Liu Yufei got a few loyalty talismans and selected a few experienced and capable people to establish branches with the capital as the center and spread outward.
In just one year, Liu Yufei created much more wealth than her previous life.
At the same time, Li Fan also met the future Minister of Punishments, who is now also the Langzhong of the Ministry of Punishments.
Because the two people belonged to different departments, they were just acquaintances and did not have much contact.
Now the daughter of the Minister of Justice is just a five-year-old girl. Li Fan does not bother to target her. Everything will wait until ten years later when Hou Yaozong comes to Beijing.
In a blink of an eye, ten years passed. Li Linlang was seventeen years old, Hou Yaozong was twenty years old, and the daughter of the Minister of Justice was fifteen years old.
Li Fan is now the Minister of Revenue.
That’s right, it’s the Minister of Revenue, not the Minister of Works.
Li Fan first went to the Ministry of Industry, but later the emperor gradually discovered that Li Fan was actually an all-round talent.
Moreover, Li Fan never contacted any of the gang members from the beginning to the end.
No matter which faction or family they belong to,
Li Fandu was a staunch royalist, which made the emperor very satisfied.
Therefore, the emperor did not hesitate to express his appreciation for Li Fan.
During these ten years, the emperor had sent Li Fan to four of the six ministries, namely the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Revenue. He only stayed in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War for one year each, and the next were the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel.
All the ministers in the court knew that the emperor was planning to train a new cabinet elder, so they were very wary of Li Fan.
Therefore, a few years ago, there were people who could not bribe Li Fan and planned to kill him directly. However, not to mention that Li Fan had Li Jin by his side, Li Fan himself had a very high martial arts level.
So after those people tried sending assassins, poisoning and other methods but failed to deal with Li Fan, they decided to transfer Li Jin away from Li Fan.
It happened that there was unrest on the border, and several major families united to recommend Li Jin to quell the unrest.
After the emperor had a private conversation with Li Fan and Li Jin, he agreed to their memorial.
So two years ago, Li Jin went to the border.
He is now a mighty general of the second rank, the same rank as Li Fan.
The Li brothers' promotion path in the past ten years has astonished all other court officials, but they have never been able to drag them down or get rid of them.
Even Liu Yufei and Li Linlang had thought about it, but unfortunately, they failed!
Li Fan's family developed steadily in the capital, but they also kept an eye on Hou Yaozong.
When he left, Li Jin went to Hou Yaozong's place and placed an interstellar monitor.
Therefore, although they have been separated from Hou Yaozong in the past few years, they still know the situation in Hou Yaozong's place very clearly.
Just like in his previous life, Hou's father died unexpectedly five years ago.
Only Hou's mother was left to support Hou Yaozong's studies, but she had no way to make money. She could only embroider some items and sell them, but it was a drop in the bucket and was not enough to support Hou Yaozong's studies.
Hou Yaozong has been highly praised because of his reputation as a child prodigy in recent years. Originally, he could earn tuition fees by copying books, after all, that's what he did in his previous life. However, he was praised too highly in this life, and he was unwilling to lower his status to do the job of copying books.
In his previous life, Hou Yaozong had set his sights on Li Linlang, but because his original self, Li Fan, had a good impression of him and valued his talent, he exempted him from a lot of taxes.
But in this life, Hou Yaozong not only has to pay tuition, but also has to go out and party with those friends who are supposed to flatter him, so financially speaking, he is very tight.
Now that Li Linlang is gone in this life, Hou Yaozong has set his eyes on the eldest daughter of the richest man in the county. She is one year older than Hou Yaozong and not as pretty as Li Linlang, but the rich man is rich!
Finally, Hou Yaozong and the rich man agreed that after Hou Yaozong passed the imperial examination, he would marry his eldest daughter, and all subsequent expenses would be paid by the rich man.
Just like that, with the original family gone, a wealthy family came to support Hou Yaozong's studies.
After passing the examination to become a scholar, Hou Yaozong married the daughter of the rich man.
Later, she gave birth to a daughter, and everything went the same way as in her previous life.
That day, Li Fan had just finished a day's work and returned home when he heard Liu Yufei say,
"Hou Yaozong has arrived in Beijing!"
