Chapter six hundred and twentieth seventh the Ministry of work deceased
Qing'er has grown up in the Zhong Mansion since she was a child. What she faces every day is nothing more than Zhong Yi and the maids and servants of the Zhong Mansion. Her interpersonal relationships are simple, she has never seen the dangerous world outside, and her mind is extremely simple.
She doesn't have any scheming, and her words are a bit unprotected, but they are all truthful.
Of course, we have to exclude some nonsense that little girls don’t understand.
Princess Anyang was pierced through the glass by Qing'er and left in anger. The master and servant looked at each other. Tangning patted her head and said: "You can't speak so frankly in the future, even if you are telling the truth, you know?"
?”
Qing'er nodded and said cutely: "Qing'er understands."
Tang Ning kept a distance from Princess Anyang not only because he didn't like such occasions, but he was now the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and was in the court, so he did not do things as he pleased before.
Students from the Gyeonggi region will occupy a large part of the court in the future. As a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it is naturally inappropriate to meet with them before the imperial examination.
After all, his Minister of Civil Affairs, unlike his previous deputy minister, is the second-in-command of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who truly holds real power. He is more concerned about some malicious rumors than before.
Tang Ning has completed five of the six departments of official, household, ritual, military, punishment, and work, and is only left with the last department of work to complete his merits.
Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Industry has the lowest voice. Above the court, the status of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is even lower than that of a minister in the Ministry of Husband and the Ministry of Personnel.
Although the Ministry of Industry does not have a high voice and does a thankless job, there is one thing that the other five ministries cannot match.
That is, the Ministry of Industry has sufficient oil and water. Palace construction, city wall maintenance, canal excavation, road construction, and the development of various mineral deposits are all under the management of the Ministry of Industry.
None of these projects require money. Although the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the national treasury, it only has the right to dispatch and not use. The Ministry of Works is different. These funds are allocated by the Ministry of Works. Officials from the Ministry of Works want to take some action in this.
Hands and feet, natural and simple.
"I respectfully welcome your lord..."
When Tang Ning arrived at the Ministry of Works, officials from the Ministry of Works stood at the yamen gate and warmly welcomed his arrival.
The Ministry of Industry has four divisions under its jurisdiction, namely, the Ministry of Industry, the Tuntian Division, the Yubu Division, and the Water Ministry Division. There is a minister and a minister above them, who are in charge of all matters.
Tang Ning came to the Ministry of Industry for the first time today, but she did not see the Minister of Works or the Minister of Works.
He looked at the doctor from the Ministry of Works and asked, "Where are the ministers and ministers?"
The doctor from the Ministry of Works glanced at him and muttered to himself, why are the Minister and the Minister not in the Ministry of Works today? Master Tang really has no idea?
He walked all the way from the Sixth Department, with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood behind him. His official position was getting higher and higher. When he was still in charge, he was able to defeat the assistant minister. When he became the assistant minister, even Feng Xiang packed up and returned to his hometown. Every time he arrived
There will be no peace for any one of them, without any exception. As long as the minister and the minister have some brains, they will know that they should avoid their sharp edges during this period.
He looked at Tang Ning, smiled apologetically and said, "Your Excellency, the Minister, went to the north a few days ago to supervise the construction of the post road. He will not be back for a few months. Your Excellency, the Minister, is ill and is recuperating at home. He will not be at the Yamen today..."
In this way, he is the only one in charge of the Ministry of Industry.
What made Tang Ning happy was that the Minister of Industry and the Vice Minister were both absent from the Yamen for good reasons. It was not because they avoided him as a broom star. Those people were not clean under their own skin. Instead of looking for the reasons themselves, they blamed him.
They simply have erroneous views. The imperial court does not need these guys with erroneous views and righteous butts.
The absence of the Minister of Industry means that Tang Ning can occupy a duty room by herself in the past few months, which should make it quieter.
After entering the Ministry of Industry, all the officials went back to their offices. Tang Ning turned to look at the person behind her and said, "Mr. Zhang, long time no see."
Zhang Hao, the doctor of the Ministry of Water, looked at him with a complicated expression on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "I have met Lord Tang."
Three years ago in Lingzhou, it was also at this time that as an examiner for the Lingzhou State Examination, he discovered the differences between Tang Ning and other candidates in terms of strategy and theory, and tried his best to distinguish his test paper from the other candidates.
, to avoid his test paper being judged as failed.
At that time, one of them was a doctor from the Ministry of Water and the other was just a student from a remote county. Zhang Hao admired him very much and even considered recruiting him to the Ministry of Water.
Then three years later, he had reached the third rank and appeared in the Ministry of Works for the first time as his immediate superior.
Three years is not a long time. During these three years, he has remained motionless in his position as a doctor in the Ministry of Water. The student from a remote state capital has already soared into the sky...
Tang Ning had heard Zhang Hao's name before. Although his official position was not high, he was well-known in the court.
The main reason is that he is an upright person and doesn't know how to beat around the bush. He often gets angry when arguing with others because of his different political opinions. Not many officials in the court treat him well.
Because of this, he has held the position of Doctor of the Water Department for more than ten years. Normally, with his qualifications, he would have been able to climb up a few levels.
However, it was precisely because of his persistence that Tang Ning's test papers were able to stand out in the state examination. Without Zhang Hao, his imperial examination path might have come to an end in Lingzhou.
To a certain extent, Zhang Hao, a doctor in the Ministry of Water, was kind to him.
"You're welcome, Mr. Zhang." Tang Ning smiled and said, "If it hadn't been for Mr. Zhang's guidance, how could Tang Ning be where she is today?"
Zhang Hao said with a solemn expression: "Master Tang said something serious. Zhang just did what Zhang should do. Master Tang's ability to reach this point is all due to Master Tang's talent and hard work..."
Zhang Hao, the doctor of the Ministry of Water, is indeed a serious and upright person. Such a person can be a good official, but rarely a high official.
His character and conduct have blocked his path to promotion.
There are many people like Zhang Hao in the officialdom, but most of them succumbed to reality in the end.
Tang Ning is the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Acting Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Although he cannot change the rules of officialdom on a large scale, he can still uphold justice on a small scale.
Ministry of Industry, another room on duty.
The four ministers gathered together and chatted quietly. The focus of discussion was naturally the new minister.
The Tuntian Secretary said: "When Mr. Cui heard that Mr. Tang was coming, he took away the errand that was supposed to be Mr. Zhang and went to the northwest overnight. He was a little too decisive."
The doctor from the Ministry of Industry said: "It is understandable that Cui Shilang is afraid of Mr. Tang. How come even Wu Shangshu said that he is ill at home? Is Mr. Wu also afraid?"
"Who is not afraid of the broom star?" The doctor of the Yu Department shook his head and said: "Even Prime Minister Feng is in his hands. No matter how high the official position of Wu Shangshu is, is it greater than Prime Minister Feng?"
Zhang Hao looked at them and said: "We'd better not talk about you adults behind your back. This is not what a gentleman does..."
The Tuntian doctor looked at him, shook his head, and said: "We are not like Mr. Zhang. We have been kind to Mr. Tang. He can't defeat anyone but you, so naturally we have to be more careful."
The doctor from the Ministry of Works thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhang is kind to Mr. Tang. This time Mr. Tang comes to the Ministry of Works, and he himself is the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Doesn't Mr. Zhang have to stand out?"
Tuntian Langzhong curled his lips and said: "Master Zhang can only be a minister if he is promoted. Cui Shilang has already gone to the northwest. You mean that Master Tang can take down Cui Shilang who is far away in the northwest if he is in the official department.
, help Zhang Langzhong go up?"
"That's not necessarily the case." The doctor from the Ministry of Industry looked at him and said, "Don't forget, he was far away in the south of the Yangtze River a few days ago, and he pulled Feng Xiang off his horse. What does it mean to be a mere minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
The Tuntian doctor thought for a while and whispered: "He can't be so cruel..."
