Chapter 178 The often incompetent and angry officials are here again (second update)
"The Nu family knows that your husband is a great talent and is admired by everyone in the world, and so is the Nu family."
"It's just that now, in order to allow your husband to return to the capital, the slave family has promised to the official family that they will not have any more relations with your husband..."
Zhou Bangyan looked at Miss Shishi's soft catkin that was slowly withdrawing, put her hands behind her back in embarrassment, and smiled helplessly.
"Master...how can you take these words seriously?"
Miss Shishi looked at the lover she had loved in the past, and when she thought of what he had done, she finally got tired, sighed softly, and slowly walked back to the case.
"Sir, do you think that Shishi is someone who can't even keep his promises?"
"Of course not. If you can't keep your promise, Master, how can I return to Beijing?"
Zhou Bangyan quickly replied, glancing at Lu Qi who was standing next to him, and Lu Luo who was standing at the door.
He used his eyes to signal the master's girl's confidant and maid to go out quickly. After all, there were outsiders around, and it was really hard for him to perform well.
After all, I am an art master who has been famous for many years. I can say some things in private, but I must not do it in public.
Lu Qi, who had always understood the situation with just one look, stood still like a wooden figure.
This made Zhou Bangyan feel annoyed, and he snorted. There was still no response...
At this time, Zhou Bangyan, who was a little embarrassed, saw the small booklet placed on Miss Shishi's desk.
"Han Gongqiu? This, this is..."
Zhou Bangyan's eyes suddenly focused. This rare and very beautiful calligraphy style made people's eyes light up.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the script of the musical that the young scholar wrote specially for my young lady. The name is "Autumn in the Palace of Han Dynasty""
"???"
#####
With a look of despair, Zhou Bangyan left the attic with some staggering steps.
After walking out of the house, everyone Zhou looked around, feeling ashamed and angry. "???"
His confidant Zhou Mo is not here, and even the donkey is not here?
After asking the two gatekeepers, they realized that his confidants had led the donkey into the alley not far away.
Needless to say, the boy must have thought that he had to stay there for a long time, so he went to find his old sweetheart with both his men and his donkey.
"You bastard, you are so bastard!" The extremely angry Zhou people cursed and walked away.
But after walking only a dozen steps, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Miss Shishi's house, grinding his teeth angrily.
"Well, Mr. Li, you put it nicely, haha..."
"A mere child prodigy, a child with a yellow mouth, how can he be as strong as I am with age?"
"In this case, I would like to see how long you, the number one courtesan of the Song Dynasty, can keep your title..."

After hearing Gao Zhang's story, he had already persuaded Tong Guan and Cai Jing today, and they not only agreed to let their son hang out with Gao Zhang.
Even the shares were readily accepted, which greatly comforted Gao Qiu.
I didn't expect that my own son would handle things so well. As for the Gao family who spoke for their own son, they also contributed 20,000 yuan, but the remaining 60,000 shares belonged to the official family.
Not only was Gao Qiu not annoyed, but he became even more elated. He patted his son Gao Zhang's thin shoulder with his big hand and said happily.
"It's so easy to get nothing, Zhang'er. I'm afraid my father wouldn't be able to do this when he was your age."
"Although I lost some money and silk, I was able to gain the favor of the officials. This is a sure business. Even if I give twice as much money and silk as a gift, it is still worth it."
"And according to what you said before, our family is the only one in Tokyo who can refine the coke, haha..."
If that workshop wants to ensure quality, it must purchase its own coke. This is a separate business.
In addition, there are also glass products that Zhang'er has been developing in secret. I don't know what happened to them, but Gao Qiu believes in his own son's ability to do things.

In just a few days, a Kaifeng metal workshop named after Kaifeng made its grand debut.
An outstanding professional manager who previously worked as the shopkeeper of a famous ironware workshop in Tokyo became the shopkeeper of this workshop.
Under the management of this shopkeeper, he first recruited some craftsmen from the society and entered this fledgling workshop.

At the court meeting, Emperor Gao Qiu of the Song Dynasty silently waited for the opportunity. When the proceedings came to an end, he stepped out and bowed respectfully to the officials.
"Guan family, the San Yamen received a batch of ordnance a few days ago. In the past two days, the officers and soldiers of the San Yamen have complained that this batch of ordnance is not only of low quality, but also unusable..."
All the ministers and ministers who had seen Gao Qiu stand up before heard Gao Qiu's words, and they all remained silent in a tacit understanding.
After all, this kind of thing is just a repeat of the same old tune. Every time after receiving the ordnance, the officers and soldiers of Sanya were either complaining or full of complaints.
After that, the most that could be done was that the officials would get furious because of their incompetence, and then all the ministers would apologize.
After the officials continue to be incompetent and furious, they will be investigated strictly by the department. When the time comes, they will throw in one or two scapegoats that they don't like.
When the official energy subsides and the limelight is over, what should we do? We should continue to do it.
When I heard that the soldiers were testing their bows, the new hard bow they received unexpectedly broke off the bow arm when they were pulled, and they cut the armor with a hand knife. The armor was not broken, but a large piece of the hand knife broke off.
After hearing all these things, Zhao Ji, an official who was already determined to eliminate abuses and innovate, had his eyelids twitching and anger rising in his heart.
This horse riding is really enough. If there is a war with an enemy country, the Song Dynasty Tiger Ben bends the bow, cuts it with a sword, and even makes a hair. Could it be that he is preparing to make the soldiers spit and kill the enemy?
As the official Zhao Ji got angry, some of his officials came out to plead guilty.
Of course, these ministers were the leaders of departments related to ordnance manufacturing. The Ministry of War was very angry and said that they were in the same group as Captain Gao.
Hube was also very angry, saying that they spent a lot of money and ended up buying such a bunch of junk.
The Ministry of Industry was very angry, saying that those workshops were independent and liked to mess around, and the ordnance supervisor liked to play against itself. If the two sides merged to supervise the quality of ordnance, there would always be disputes...
Seeing the shameless behavior of these ministers pleading guilty and whitewashing their own departments at the same time, the official Zhao Ji felt very sad.
"That's enough, please shut up. Since Renzong, the military preparations of our Song Dynasty have been neglected and lax, which has become a long-standing shortcoming. When my father was still alive, he was determined to straighten the style and discipline, eliminate the shortcomings and innovate."
"Imitating the Tang Dynasty, the establishment of the Ordnance Supervision did not solve the problem of depletion of armaments. On the contrary, due to the overlapping of agencies, the responsibilities were unclear.
The reform of military armaments has been delayed and has not yet been resolved..."
Hearing the official's angry voice, the officials scolded him with a slightly different tone. All the ministers remained silent, but no one expected that the official's tone suddenly changed.
