Of course Li Mingde found out those people, but Zuo Qiuzheng was also very good at doing things. He did not let Li Mingde take the blame because he knew very well that if Li Mingde was allowed to take the blame, then Li Mingde would be in trouble in the East Palace in the future.
There was no way to get away with it. He didn't want to lose such a capable prince Zhan Shi, so he took the initiative to resist this matter. In this way, Jia Yu and the others could not blame Li Mingde for this matter. Li Mingde
The pressure in the East Palace will also be less.
When Jia Yu and others heard what Li Mingde said, they thought about the list of people in the report. Some people were recommended by Dewey, and they all knew about the relationship between Dewey and Li Mingde. They knew that Li Mingde would not cheat Dewey.
So they believed Zuo Qiuzheng's words, so they didn't say anything and turned around and left. Only Dewey stayed and followed Li Mingde back to Li Mingde's office, but the two of them didn't say anything in the East Palace.
, they just chatted for a few words and made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening, and then Dewey went directly back to his office. On the other hand, Zuo Qiuzheng had already returned to the back house and met the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess is not from a big family, which is also the tradition here in the Star Empire. Under normal circumstances, they will not choose the Crown Princess from a big family because they are worried that their relatives will become bigger, but this also creates another problem, that
The prince has almost no external aid, and in battles with other princes, he is often at a disadvantage. This is why Zuo Qiu was often at a disadvantage when he was fighting with Zuo Qiuyu and the others before, because Zuo Qiuyu and the others were at a disadvantage.
Qiu Yu and others have support, but Zuo Qiu has no one.
This time Zuo Qiuzheng arrived at the back house and directly talked about the matter with the Crown Princess, because some of the people he had to deal with were indeed recommended by the Crown Princess, and Zuo Qiuzheng's relationship with the Crown Princess was still very good.
Okay, and the Crown Princess will not participate in their affairs, so although the Crown Princess recommended people, she does not know the performance of those people. Zuo Qiu Zheng did not give birth to the Crown Princess because of this incident.
Angry, after all, he was also at fault in this matter. As he said before, he did not surrender to the supervision, which gave those people a chance. Zuo Qiu was telling the Crown Princess about this matter, which was also a sign of respect for the Crown Princess.
, otherwise he would almost not have to discuss it with the Crown Princess, so Zuo Qiu Zheng did this.
After hearing this incident, the Crown Princess was also very surprised. She immediately fully supported Zuo Qiuzheng and had to severely punish those people, because the Crown Princess could tell who was her own. She had already married the Crown Prince, so
She and the prince are one and the same. If anything happens to the prince, she will not be easy. If the prince is punished, she will also be punished, so she must fully support the prince.
That night, Li Mingde and Dewey went to the restaurant where they often ate. After they ordered a few dishes, Li Mingde sighed and said, "Being an official in the royal family is really not an easy task.
, I really didn’t expect that the water in the East Palace would be so deep. Fortunately, His Highness took over everything today, otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to gain a foothold in the East Palace.”
Dewey smiled bitterly and said: "You really found out those things, right? I'll know it if you wink at me today. Fortunately, His Highness took this matter off. Otherwise, uncle, you really have nothing to do."
Now that we have established ourselves in the East Palace, you should discuss with me in advance what uncle is doing in the future. After I arrived at the East Palace, it took me half a year to figure out the affairs of the East Palace. I didn’t dare to do anything before.
It's random, but fortunately, through this matter, uncle, you have let His Highness fully understand your abilities. I believe His Highness will definitely reuse you, and you will really gain a foothold in the East Palace. Be careful in the future.
Just a little will do, and everything will be fine." Dewey had already thought that Zuo Qiuzheng was taking the blame for Li Mingde, but he noticed the look Li Mingde gave him. To be honest, he was very surprised, and he was also
I didn't expect that those who manage the industry would be so bold, but if it were him, he might handle this matter slowly instead of directly going to Zuo Qiu Zheng like now.
These people have a way to handle this matter themselves. In that case, they may be given some dignity. Although the East Palace will have less income, there will not be any turmoil, and it will not be like
Such passivity this time.
This is equivalent to if your brother made a mistake, you could have persuaded him or taught him a lesson, but you had to call the police and send your brother directly. This is a bit too much.
, so Dewey told Li Mingde to be more careful in the future.
Li Mingde also nodded, and then said: "I really need to be more careful, and I will discuss it with you more in the future. Fortunately, this matter has finally passed, and those in charge have been dealt with. Next I will
I can carry out my plan boldly. I believe that this way, my pressure will be much less. If our plan succeeds, the income of Donggong will be more than what it is now. This will be very important for the development of Donggong.
, will be very beneficial, and it is also what I want to see most. After all, we and Donggong are now one. If Donggong becomes better, we will become better. If something goes wrong with Donggong, we will also go wrong.
question."
Dewey nodded, and then said: "His Royal Highness will definitely support you uncle in this matter. If you need help, uncle, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."
Li Mingde also nodded. After the two had a meal, they separated directly. The two of them did not call Li Chengyang for dinner today because they did not want Li Chengyang to be involved in this matter. After all, they did not want Li Chengyang to know this.
The matter is of no benefit to Li Chengyang.
The next day, Zuo Qiuzheng directly ordered that those in charge be dealt with. Because of the Crown Princess's full support, the matter was dealt with very quickly. Although those people were in charge of one party, their power was all
It was given by the prince, and of course the prince could take it back at once, and those people had to hand over all their property in exchange for their lives, and as Li Mingde said, those people had to give up all their property.
, can really match the annual income of Dong Palace, or even a little more than this, but Zuo Qiuzheng was so angry that his face was livid. He really didn't expect those people to be so bold and greedy all at once.
So many, but he didn't do anything to those people. He let those people live and just expelled those people from the East Palace.
After dealing with those people, Zuo Qiuzheng fully supported Li Mingde and asked Li Mingde to integrate the industries of Donggong. At the same time, he also re-accepted the management personnel of various places and added a regulatory agency.
The supervisors are led by Eunuch Fusheng, and they are all servants. These people are the most loyal to Zuoqiu. With such a sword hanging over their heads, those people will never dare to mess around.
Here, if they dare to act recklessly, they are looking for death.
And Li Mingde moved very quickly. The people he accepted as managers were all people from the original industries. From those industries, he selected some people with good abilities to take charge of the affairs.
Then the entire industry was integrated, and the results of this integration were quickly seen. After three months of fluctuations, the income of those industries gradually stabilized. The income of Donggong was more than before.
Nearly half of it was something Zuo Qiuzheng didn't expect. After seeing the report, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and held a banquet directly. Of course, this banquet was also a small banquet, and only the subordinate officials in the East Palace were invited.
On the day of the banquet, Zuo Qiu waited until everyone had arrived. Then he looked at everyone and said: "Today's banquet is to announce something. After nearly half a year of adjustments, all the properties in the East Palace have now been fully restored."
It has stabilized, and now the income of various industries in the East Palace is nearly half more than before. If it continues like this, it may be even more. This is good news for us, and all of this is thanks to
Li Aiqing, Li Aiqing has worked hard these past six months, and I have requested that starting from today, Li Aiqing's rank will be raised to the fifth rank. From now on, Li Aiqing will be solely responsible for managing all the properties of the East Palace."
When everyone heard what Zuo Qiuzheng said, they all looked at Li Mingde with envy. You must know that they are all subordinate officials of the East Palace, so their grades are not very high. Like Jia An and others, they are only in the fifth grade. Like Dewey and others,
They were all from the fifth rank, but this time Li Mingde became a full fifth rank at once, which was higher than Dewey's rank. You must know that he joined the East Palace only half a year ago. Such a promotion speed is indeed very fast.
Surprisingly, Li Mingde hurriedly stepped forward to thank him. Zuo Qiu Zheng smiled and said, "Li Aiqing, you deserve this. Please come up quickly." Li Mingde then stood up, and then Zuo Qiu Zheng picked up the wine glass and said
"Come, dear friends, let's drink this cup together." Of course, the few of them were very happy, and they immediately raised their glasses and drank a glass of wine together.
After finishing the wine, Zuo Qiuzheng glanced at everyone, and then said: "Now that the integration of Donggong's industries has been completed, do you think that if Donggong continues to develop, in which direction should we develop?" After saying this, he
Just stare at everyone.
When everyone heard what Zuo Qiu Zheng said, they immediately understood the meaning of Zuo Qiu Zheng's words. Zuo Qiu Zheng was afraid that he was trying to defeat the prince's six rates again, but they all remained silent because they didn't want to
Zuo Qiu Zheng was the one who had the idea of the crown prince's six rates. Once Zuo Qiu Zheng had the idea of the prince's six rates, it might attract Zuo Qiu Wen's attention, which would not be of any benefit to the East Palace, but this was already Zuo Qiu Zheng's first
This matter was brought up for the second time. If they objected, it would probably make Zuo Houzheng unhappy, so they didn't say anything.
But Li Mingde didn't know why. He was okay in business, but he didn't have much experience in this matter. He was different from these veteran officials. He was a businessman. In the past six months, he had been focused on
All of them are focused on Donggong's industry. To put it bluntly, he is now like a manager hired by Donggong to specialize in managing these industries. He doesn't know much about other things, and it is precisely because of this.
