There are horses neighing and people shouting in Xiao Han's bedroom, how could Uncle Lunzi not know it?
As early as the time when the fool was catching the horse, they rushed over and guarded the door of the inner courtyard. However, the master did not give an order. Although they, the generals' personal soldiers, were anxious, they still held back and never stepped into the main courtyard.
Home bedroom area.
Although Xiao Han never minded these things, Uncle Lunzi, who was always pedantic in some places, always believed that rules are rules! They must not be broken at will. Our Hou Mansion is also a noble courtyard. Let outsiders take a look and say
They had no rules, and it was Xiao Han's face that was humiliated...
Poor Uncle Fool, he hasn't thought that their family will soon become the biggest joke in the entire Tang Dynasty...
Under the constraints of the upright Uncle Lengzi, as long as Xiao Han is at home and there is no emergency, they will never step into the bedroom without reason. Of course, Lunzi and Xiaodong are not included in this. Their identities are more like Xiao Han's personal
Just like guards, as long as there is no heroine in the Xiao Mansion, they will have no taboos.
At this time, when he heard the master's order to bombard someone, Uncle Lunzi was immediately stunned. The people who had just entered the courtyard were all King Qin's group. Who were they going to bombard?
But no matter what, when the head of the family ordered, they, the generals, could not pretend not to hear outside. Gritting his teeth, Uncle Lunzi rushed in with three old buddies. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Xiao Han pointing at
An unknown person yelled angrily.
"Throw him?"
When Uncle Lunzi saw that he was no longer an acquaintance, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This is easy to handle. If he is asked to throw King Qin away, he may not really be able to do it. It is not that he is afraid of death, but that he is afraid that after throwing it away, Xiao Han will not be able to run away...
"My lord, I'm offended!"
Uncle Lunzi winked at the old man next to him. They immediately understood and took a step forward. They were going to arrest people. Li Shimin was shocked and quickly stopped in front. He had never thought that Xiao Han would be like this.
Impulsively, if you say you want to evict people, you will evict them immediately without delay at all.
Moreover, these generals are too honest. Mr. Huangfu has been an official for decades. Even if he is not wearing official uniform, anyone who is not blind can tell that he is not an ordinary person. How dare these generals dare to do so?
Take action?
According to the laws of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, if the following offenders are punished, they will be given thirty sticks and five hundred miles of punishment. Are you not afraid at all?
Xiao Han's performance was beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected that Xiao Han would fall out at once.
, Mr. Huangfu is a high official of the imperial court, how can you be so rude and not quickly tell your people to stand down?!"
Xiao Han was so angry that he didn't say anything. The stupid uncle rubbed his hands. He didn't know whether he should go around Li Shimin who was blocking the way, continue to go up and throw the guy who made the Marquis angry...
At this time, Huangfu Qi, who was standing in front of Xiao Han, spoke. He was also startled just now. It was not that he was afraid, but he didn't expect that this talented young man had such a serious heart. He didn't even have time to explain. If it weren't for
Those who came with King Qin and the others today must have been thrown onto the street in front of the gate by now...
Huangfu Qi smiled at Xiao Han and said slowly: "Haha... Xiao Han, there may be some misunderstandings between us. If His Highness Prince Qin hadn't come to me to borrow someone today and mentioned it in passing, I wouldn't have known about it this time.
As soon as I found out about this, I'll explain it to you. Do you think we should let them go down first?"
Huangfu Qi's smile made Xiao Han unable to get angry. As for reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Xiao Han had no choice but to wave his hand and tell Uncle Fool and the others to leave for now.
"Hahahaha, we are all our own people. If there is any misunderstanding, just speak it out and explain it clearly. Xiao Han, you should be more generous. Lord Huangfu is a well-known upright and good man. How could he take your formula and give it to you?"
I think it’s okay for your people to drive you away…”
Chai Shao laughed at the side, took Xiao Han's shoulders and came to the room. He pressed Xiao Han on the chair. Huangfu Qi naturally sat on the opposite side. Several other people took their seats one after another, preparing to mediate between the two of them.
Xiao Han sat on the chair, most of his anger had gone away at this time, but his face was a little uneasy, and he said angrily: "Do you need to talk about this? Even if he, the head of the Ministry of Works, didn't do it, he didn't take care of his subordinates. This is not the case.
It’s just that I don’t feel sorry for this secret recipe. If it were someone else who was treated like this, full of grievances and unable to appeal, they would have been seeking death long ago!”
Huangfuqi listened carefully to what Xiao Han said, and the smile on his face froze. The Ministry of Industry he was in charge of had always been the most embarrassing one among the six ministries. To be honest, the Ministry of Industry was in charge of urban construction, military facilities, and water conservancy.
The power of agriculture, animal husbandry and oceans will definitely be an unimaginable behemoth in future generations!
However, in the Tang Dynasty, under the concept of sharing the world with scholar-bureaucrats, the status of scholars and nobles was infinitely elevated, and the Ministry of Industry became a small department that dealt exclusively with craftsmen. What is a craftsman's household?
Go to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in various places and you will see that the people with dirty faces and ragged clothes who look like beggars are craftsmen!
The terrible craftsman household system prevented the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty from engaging in business or farming. They could only do some handicrafts, and they had to work for the state for free for three months to half a year every year! This was without any compensation!
It's not that Huangpuqi has never thought about change, but in this atmosphere where everything is taken for granted from top to bottom, how can change be as simple as just talking?
After several efforts, there was no result at all, and he almost lost himself. It should be noted that his move not only affected the interests of officials, but also the interests of the country. How could he not be contradicted?
In the end, Huangfu Qi had no choice but to give up. The craftsmen were still living a miserable life, and the Ministry of Industry could only follow the other departments and be a stable subordinate. They did not seek advancement, as long as they could make the craftsmen have a reputation.
Just eat and complete the tasks of the Ministry of Works...
A great man once said that if you don’t strive for progress, you will just rot in place. Even the chief officials accept their fate, and the people below are just getting by. What’s worse, some bosses have intensified their mistreatment of the craftsmen, depriving them of their benefits.
This is not the first time that this happened. It is impossible for Huangfuqi to be unaware of these things. But if one person is punished, countless others will appear, and the punishments are endless...
Sitting on the chair, Huangfu Qi was silent for a long time.
Xiao Han felt angry in his heart, maybe this is the real Tang Dynasty! Its advantages make people ecstatic, but its shortcomings also make people angry. There are no perfect people and no perfect country...
Huangfu Qi stood up silently, slowly raised his hand, and saluted Xiao Han amidst the surprised eyes of the people around him: "What Xiao Hou said is that I have a responsibility that I cannot get around. Here, Huangfu Qi gives
You apologized."
This time, it was Xiao Han's turn to be dumbfounded. People respect me a foot, and I respect others a foot. This has always been the foundation of Xiao Han's character.
He was angry at first, but now that he apologized so solemnly in front of so many respectable people, Xiao Han's anger suddenly disappeared like snow under the scorching sun...
Speaking of which, Xiao Han didn't really care too much about the blacksmiths being kicked out, he was just fired. It's not like he had never been fired before. If he gets fired once, he will have one more enemy. Then he will be walking on the street in the future.
How many enemies should there be?
Xiao Han didn't even get angry when the formula was taken away. He knew that people all have bad natures, and there are good people and bad people in this world. When he came up with this method of frying steel, he never thought that he would be caught all the time.
In your own hands, as long as this matter is not under your control, there will never be any time to keep it a secret.
What really made him angry was that some people from the Ministry of Works were treating him like a monkey! Another thing was the tragic situation of the craftsmen’s households that the blacksmiths told him!
Xiao Han never thought that he was a truly good person, but Xiao Han always knew that he was a person with very upright views!
When the dignitaries are in front of him, he will not look down upon them, because their prominence, their status, and their glory will not be shared with him. They accept all this time, and besides keeping their saliva and working hard,
Enjoy less than a penny of the benefits.
Similarly, when poor people are in front of him, he will never look down on them, because they do not rely on him for food or depend on him for life. What right does he have to look down on others?
However, Xiao Han couldn't bear to bully others, even if those people had nothing to do with him!
In his previous life, he was a worker, or a skilled worker. He knew that people who rely on their own hands to make a living are far more noble than those who talk nice but follow crooked ways behind their backs!
But the reality is cruel. Often, those who rely on their own hard work to support their families are exploited layer by layer. In the end, only three melons and two dates are left to survive, while those so-called upper class people can take advantage of them.
The value that you have worked so hard to create is spent in debauchery, drunkenness and dreams!
Why?! Xiao Han wanted to ask!
In later generations, he was just a little fish, unable to even make a splash, but in the Tang Dynasty, he had the right to make his own voice!
Every technological innovation brings more than hundreds of millions of benefits to mankind? Why has China's progress been so slow since the Han and Tang Dynasties?
We have everything we need for the industrial revolution, whether it is the environment, timing, or smart people, but why is it that every budding industrial revolution is always ruthlessly annihilated?
Now, looking at those numb craftsmen, Xiao Han seemed to understand something...
This is also an important reason why he wants to escape Chang'an and build a new industrial base. Since it cannot be established without destruction, why not let me break this situation?
Before this, Xiao Han had been extremely disappointed with the Ministry of Works, and even had the idea of not wanting to deal with this decadent department for the rest of his life, but today's Huangpu Qi gave him a glimmer of hope. Perhaps, the big tree of the Ministry of Works
It's not that bad, at least there is a person in charge who admits his mistakes when he knows they are wrong.
