Chapter 46 Lu Gong

"Hahaha." Everyone burst into laughter again. After laughing, their eyes looked at Zhang Song became increasingly different from the past.

In the traditional sense, Zhang Song, the head of the Interior Department, was definitely a villain, but because he was a villain, he was not ashamed of making profits and calculated many interests clearly.

Indeed, the Huaiyang General Administration strictly prohibits officials from corruption and benefiting, and will not give any tax exemption policies to the land under the names of officials. However, the Huaiyang merchants controlled by the Huaiyang General Administration can make money every day, and all officials have corresponding positions and dividends in the merchants. Even if they do not embezzle and accept bribes, they can still be rich. They can accumulate for a few years, raise seventeen or eighteen wives, and build a courtyard with a few acres of land.

In addition, with Tutu being repelled and the gradual increase of various workshops, the new industrial and commercial industry has already vaguely exerted its unique power. With this development momentum, General Manager Zhu will definitely have more than 60% of the chances of being in the world in the future. He will not do a good founding father and greedy for the little profits in the process of coin making. Such a stupid thing is that he can only get rid of the head by many donkeys.

The imperial examination may not be able to select talents, but it will definitely exclude idiots to the greatest extent. Zhang Song's principle is a clear verification. Just when everyone was bored, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the first forging bed, then bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "The copper plates prepared in advance are almost used up. Everyone is busy. Zhang goes to ask the chief executive for instructions. Will you be here today?"

"Master Zhang, just go." Except for the officials of the Works Bureau, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief as if they were amnesty and bowed to Zhang Song. All the despises of the past were quickly left behind.

Zhang Song, the head of the Interior Department and the new supervisor of Huaiyang Mint Workshop, quickly sorted out his appearance, trotted to Zhu Chongjiu, and whispered in his ear, "Master General, the copper plate is used up, you see."

"Then stop the machine, thank you for your hard work." Zhu Chongjiu just came to an end with Jiao Yu's discussion, looked up, and gave instructions with a smile.

Then there was another earth-shaking roar of machines, and the two forged beds of different purposes slowly stopped operating. The craftsmen and craftsmen were all sweating profusely, but their eyes were full of excitement. In contrast to their situation, most of the officials present had pale faces, and several particularly thin bodies began to stagger when walking.

"You all should know this time." Seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't help but say a lesson, "There is no easy thing in the world, and making tools is not just a simple path, even."

Before he could finish a sentence, he suddenly heard a series of rapid footsteps outside the door. Immediately afterwards, Cai Liang, the deputy director of the Works Bureau, rolled in like a meat ball, "Lord, please spare your life. I will never dare to do it again, really will never dare to do it again."

"Get up and talk, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Chongjiu was immersed in the joy of successfully minting coins. Seeing Cai Liang's appearance in such a embarrassing manner, he couldn't help asking with sympathy.

"Don't be fooled by him, lord." Seeing this, Chen Ji, the head of the Military Intelligence Department, quickly reminded him, "This place is so precautions that it is not so easy to splash water. How could someone chase him in and harm him? He has calculated the time and ran over to find you to help him get out."

"Is that right?" Zhu Chongjiu frowned slightly and quickly turned his head to Huang Laowai. All the secret workshops of the Huai'an Army were managed by the latter. Unless he specially arranged them, the vice-chief Cai Liang would never have been able to do such a coincidence.

"Lord, wisely." Huang Laowai's face immediately turned red into purple eggplant, he gave a greeting first, and then hesitated to defend himself, "Yes, it was Weichen who asked him to hide from the limelight in the gun building workshop recently. However, Weichen, Weichen, I never told him that the lord would come today, and he never gave him any advice to let him run to you to please him."

"Is that right? I can't tell that you, Director Huang, is quite selfless." Zhu Chongjiu curled his lips, not believing in every word Huang Laowai said. The gun-making workshop is so close to the coin-making workshop. He brought such a large wave of people to inspect. Cai Liang, the deputy director of the Bureau, could not see it. As for taking advantage of his happiness, from the trial production process of the copper coins just now, Huang Laowai, Jiao Yu and Zhang Song, I don't know how many times he has practiced in advance, so how could it be "one-time success".

Thanks to Zhu Dapeng's memory, he has long known the examples of successful success in all major engineering projects as long as they come to visit. Anyway, even if the previous ninety-nine failures are negligible, it can be counted directly from the last time. Both parties involved know this.

"Lord, lord, lord." On Huang Laowai's forehead, sweat beads began to fall down. "My industrial bureau was originally scarce, and those scholars were unwilling to come. Even if they came, they couldn't calm down and do things. Although Master Cai was a troublemaker, he had been with Weichen for so many years and had never made any big mistakes."

"Okay, just tell me what he did." Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand and interrupted loudly. Protecting short-term is human nature, and Huang Laowai's behavior is not surprising, but in front of so many people, he cannot take the lead in disregarding the laws of the Huaiyang General Administration.

"Yes, it's the Wei minister. I'm the one who came to disturb my lord by myself. No, I don't blame Master Huang." Deputy Chief Cai Liang found that Zhu Chongjiu looked wrong. Before Huang Laowai, he took the initiative to take the responsibility on him. "I shouldn't have been in front of the formation, but I shouldn't have been in front of the formation. Please ask the lord to punish him."

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up straight and waited respectfully for the treatment.

"Which show you a kiss in front of the formation, what kind of play do you sing?" Zhu Chongjiu was furious when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't I remember that our Huaiyang has the rule that we are not allowed to a kiss in front of the formation."

"I am accused, I am accused of mistakes, I am accused of mistakes." Cai Liang blushed and Qiqi Ai Ai.

"The lord is clear to him. He will not return after the deadline. Although there is a reason for this, the Military Information Department believes that this person should not be left in the workshop." Chen Ji, the head of the Military Information Department, revealed mercilessly, "Weichen has notified the results of the matter. The Official Affairs Bureau also recognized Weichen's judgment, but the Minister Huang hid him in the workshop on the grounds that the Works Bureau has been busy recently and refused to hand him over to the Official Affairs Bureau for separate resettlement."

"Lord, the Interior Department has never dealt with similar precedents in this matter, so he wants to postpone it for a few days and wait for all the details to be verified before reporting it to the lord." Zhang Song was much more tactful than Chen Ji's work. Before Zhu Chongji asked him, he added tactfully, "The Interior Department and the Military Information Department have joined hands to verify. Director Cai fell into the hands of Wu Nuxia and Zou Zhuangshi that night, and did not reveal any secrets about our Huaiyang. However, he was eager to escape that night, so he used a handsome man trick to impress Wu Nuxia's sister, and made a lifelong decision with the other party. The next day, Wu Nuxia found that his sister had an affair with Director Cai, so he made up his mind and drove the fleet directly over."

"Beautiful man plan." Zhu Chongjiu spent a lot of effort, but he couldn't see that the round Chief Cai still had the potential to do Zero and 7. However, since both the military and internal affairs departments have been investigated, Chief Cai did not leak the secrets, and he was too lazy to pay attention to the remaining housework. Therefore, he smiled and frowned and said, "Since he has not leaked the secrets, why do you still think that he should not continue to stay in the Industrial Bureau?"

"It was the suggestion of the Bureau of the Official Affairs Bureau and the Military Intelligence Department. On the Internal Affairs Department, I think that the affairs of Chief Cai are understandable." Zhang Song first glanced at Huang Laowai, and then continued to report in a low voice. "In addition, Chief Huang tried his best to protect him, so he has not made the final decision yet and has not reported it to the lord."

"He was not protected by the fleet and returned to Huaiyang by cargo ship without authorization. It was a serious violation of discipline." Chen Ji had already had a dark face and refused to give in. "The Military Intelligence Department did not find out his problem, but the witnesses on the same boat were all Wu Nuxia's minions, and their words might not be credible."

"Master, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord." Cai Liang immediately shouted again when he heard this, "I am not leaking the secrets. The work in the workshop is so complicated. In fact, even if I am said, the layman may not be able to understand. I am just thinking that if I stay in the Works Bureau, I can still do some things for the lord. Even if I am just letting me be a minor official, as long as I can stay here, I am willing."

"This example cannot be opened lightly. Baigongfang is the core area of ​​Huaiyang. We must prevent problems from happening." Lu Lu Zeng suddenly walked in from outside the door and said in the same tone as Chen Ji.

He is the head of the official bureau and Zhu Chongjiu's grandfather. His two sons and a grandson also hold important positions in the Huai'an army. Therefore, what he said has a great influence. If there is no accident, it is basically equivalent to announcing the final result.

Seeing that Cai Liang, the deputy director of the Works Bureau, was about to be 'kicked' out, Huang Laowai mustered up some courage again at the critical moment, wiped away the sweat on his forehead, and pleaded for his arms loudly, "Lord, I am willing to protect Master Cai."

One is the head of the official bureau and the other is the head of the industrial bureau. They each hold a suggestion and confront each other. This is a rare scene that is rarely seen in the Huaiyang General Administration. These two people have very special backgrounds. Suddenly, other officials around them close their mouths and stare at the top of their eyes, preparing to see how their lords judge the case.

But Zhu Chongjiu smiled and asked Zhang Song, Chen Ji and Lu Zeng loudly, "Has Wu Xia and his husband, the Ministry of Personnel, the Military Intelligence Department and the Interior Department secretly inspected it?"

"I've been inspected, but my resume is no doubt." Zhang Song and Chen Ji nodded in unison.

"Then what position do you think they are suitable for."

"Zou Zhuangshi has rich experience in water warfare. After training in the martial arts lecture hall, he went to the navy as an admiral of a squadron." Lu Lu once did not understand why Zhu Chongjiu had to turn the conversation away. He frowned and thought for a while, and responded in a low voice, "But Wu also wanted to command the warships, but Weichen thought it was not appropriate. After all, there has been no precedent for women to board the ship to command men since ancient times."

"What's the difficulty? Without precedent, I, Huaiyang, will create a precedent." Zhu Chongjiu smiled and said without hesitation. "Anyway, the precedent that I, Huaiyang, did is more than this. I think that woman is as good as a woman, and she is more than enough to be a squadron admiral. It's better to do this. Let the couple enter the martial arts lecture hall to become the squadron admiral, and then Wu Xiaoxia will be the squadron admiral and Zou Zhuangshi's deputy."

"Lord." Lu Lu once heard the urgent news and instinctively wanted to advise.

"It's decided that there is no need to delay this matter. Then let Chief Cai go to the Zou family to propose marriage as soon as possible and marry Wu Nuxia's sister home. In this way, even if he still has doubts, everyone has become my Huaiyang people, so there is no need to investigate it." Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand and made a loud decision.

"Thank you, lord, for your kindness." Before he finished speaking, Cai Liang, who was already desperate, knelt down with a "thump" and exchanged tears.

Since returning to Yangzhou, he has been living like a year almost every day. He doesn't know how the General Administration will deal with him in the end, nor how he will face his wife who is about to pass by if he loses his post. Today, Zhu Chongjiu's words have swept away the haze on his head.

"Lord, the Lord, the Lord," Huang Laowai, Jiao Yu, and the craftsmen around him also raised their hands and thanked Zhu Chongjiu loudly.

Although he usually takes a lot of wages and the General Administration Office has repeatedly emphasized the equality of the four people, the officials of the Industrial Bureau and the Dajiangyuan still have no status among other colleagues. Today, Zhu Chongjiu not only preserved the Chief Cai, who was usually very popular, but also expressed his attention to the Industrial Bureau.

"Lord" Lu Lu once wanted to persuade him again, but was pulled by Mr. Su, who was following him, and the second half of the words had to be swallowed back into his stomach.

This made him feel very depressed. Until he was on the carriage back to Yangzhou City, his face was still ashen. Mr. Su, who was walking with him, was afraid that he would get sick, so he couldn't help but smile and advised: "Isn't it just the arrangement of a deputy director of the Works Bureau? It's worth your worrying. There are many things in the workshop that you can't understand. How could outsiders steal the secret with just a few words?"

"I'm not angry about this, I'm angry about this." Lu Lu Zeng glared at him fiercely and shook his head angrily, "As the chief minister of the General Administration, you can let your lord do whatever you do. If that's the case, what's the use of asking you to be the chief assistant here? It's better to change to a opera-singing doll. The lord pulls the rope and just bow."

This sentence, however, revealed the real problem. Although Zhu Chongjiu did not officially become king, the red scarf of Huaiyang was already independent of Bianliang. According to the Mongolian and Yuan official system, Mr. Su was the prime minister of a country, and Lu Lu Zeng was the political affairs of Pingzhang. The two of them not only had to assist the monarch in organizing the daily government affairs, but also had to speak out bluntly and dare to advise to avoid the monarch's erroneous orders being implemented by various departments.

But Su Mingzhe's actions were definitely not a qualified prime minister. He could never find him when he argued with reason, but Qu Yi's move was faster than anyone else. If this continues, how could Zhu Chongjiu be a wise ruler? How could everyone reappear the rule of Zhenguan?

"As the old master said, Mr. Su, the chief minister, should have been letting the virtuous." He was scolded for his kindness, but he was scolded for being scolded. Su Mingzhe was not angry, and he took a deep breath and said with a smile, "But Lord Lu, you have been looking forward to this day, right? You have always felt that your lord is too gentle and hoped that your lord will be arbitrary. Why can't you stand it if you fall on your head today? The so-called Ye Gong is so good at dragons, it's not like this."
