A quarter of an hour later, Marlow handed the prepared document to Lin Ze, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Lin Ze directly ignored Maro's expression, took the document, wrote his name on the signature line, stamped the young master's seal, waved his hand outside and said: "Come here, send this document as soon as possible."
Go to Chang'an and hand it over to the Prime Minister."
He moved his hands and feet as if he had done something insignificant.
The subordinate officials who thought Lin Ze was just talking could not help but be shocked. In their eyes, Lin Ze's move could only be described as "daring".
The new official's three-pronged fire upon taking office, his power and power, were completely weakened by Lin Ze's blatant provocation against the prime minister.
Originally, many people in the subordinate officials had some thoughts that they shouldn't have when they saw Lin Ze's youth, but now they were wiped out instantly as soon as they saw it.
They are not even afraid of the Prime Minister, so they still care about you little shrimps?
This was unexpected by Lin Ze. Originally he just wanted to offend Li Si and belittle himself, but he didn't expect that it would also have the effect of intimidating his subordinates.
After sending the documents away, Lin Ze said: "Since the laborers have not yet arrived, let's put the construction of the imperial mausoleum on hold for now. During this time, everyone will think about how to speed up the construction. If anyone can come up with a good idea, I will
The official decides and rewards him with fifty thousand gold."
As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Fifty thousand gold, this young master is really a big deal.
However, there were also people with doubts on their faces. Could it be that this gentleman was exaggerating and just saying it casually?
When Lin Ze saw this, he immediately guessed what they were thinking. He took out a handful of gold tickets from his arms, threw them on the table in front of him and said, "I always keep my word. There are more than 30,000 gold coins here. Everyone."
Don’t worry about not getting it.”
Fifty thousand gold is not a big temptation for the officials of the Shaofu. Even though they control many industries, they all belong to the Emperor of Qin and have nothing to do with them.
As for corruption, let alone mention it. When Emperor Qin was here, all those in the young mansion who had the guts to take bribes were killed. Over the years, these people had long forgotten about corruption.
There was a brief silence. Seeing that Lin Ze didn't respond for a long time, Ma Luo raised his hand and asked for instructions: "Please arrange the next affairs for the official and others."
Lin Ze said casually: "Before I come here, don't you all perform your duties and arrange things properly? In my opinion, don't change it easily."
"By the way, let me introduce two colleagues to you."
Lin Ze pointed to a fat man on his left and said: "Qianyuan, one of my confidants, will be responsible for statistics on material consumption and other matters from now on."
Then he pointed to a young man on the right and said: "Wu Fan, I am a close guard. If there is an emergency and I cannot be found for a while, you can let him handle it first. Do you have any objections?"
All the subordinate officials promised: "I have no objections to this."
Lin Ze then waved his hand and said, "Ma Luo and Feng Xing stay, and the rest should disperse."
Soon, the only subordinate officials in the hall were Marlow and Feng Xing.
Marlowe asked uneasily: "I wonder why you left us two here?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "Don't be nervous, it's nothing big. I'm leaving you two here. I just want to tell you in advance that you two will still be responsible for the specific affairs of building the imperial mausoleum. I will keep an eye on you, but it won't affect you easily.
You, as long as the construction of the imperial mausoleum is successfully completed and I can return to Chang'an as soon as possible, do you have the confidence?"
The two said in unison: "No."
Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction: "You can go down first."
Marlowe and Feng Xing walked away.
After walking out of the door, Feng Xing stopped Marlow, pursed his lips in the direction of the hall, and asked in a low voice: "This gentleman has a great background, but I don't know who is standing behind him?"
After hearing this, Marlow said angrily: "As one of the Nine Qings, who is not afraid of the power of the Prime Minister, besides Your Majesty, who else can stand behind you?"
Feng Xing was shocked when he heard this, and then left with a dry smile.
In the following days, as he said, Lin Ze paid almost no attention to the construction of the imperial mausoleum, and focused solely on condensing acupoints and improving martial arts.
Lin Ze's actions actually made Marlow secretly relieved. He was really afraid that Lin Ze would use his extraordinary background to dictate and disrupt the construction progress, causing him to suffer disaster.
Now it seems that this gentleman is more like a martial arts fanatic. Once he is immersed in martial arts practice, he will not care about anything. This is good, as it saves him from being worried.
…
In Chang'an, in the study room of the Li Mansion, a man in black bowed to Li Si: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, after the new Shaofu arrived at the Lishan Mausoleum, except for the first two days when he pretended to pay a little attention to the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum, the rest of the time
, either practice martial arts in the yard and sleep, or go out hunting and eat meat."
Li Si asked with a little surprise: "Oh! Then he doesn't care about the construction of the mausoleum at all?"
The man in black replied: "According to inquiries from my subordinates, the new young master secretly assigned two young eunuchs to take full responsibility for this matter."
Li Si frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, he should be proactive, so that His Majesty can have an excuse to bring him back. Has he really given up?"
Thinking of this, Li Si immediately ordered: "Pay close attention to the movements on Lishan Mountain. I believe that things will never be that simple. Based on Ben's analysis, I will definitely not give up easily."
The man in black took the order and left.
Immediately afterwards, Li Si clapped his hands, and another man in black appeared in front of him, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to the Prime Minister."
Li Si stared at the man in black and asked: "Have you figured out the situation in Lishanling? How confident are you that you can reach the inside from the outside?"
The man in black replied: "Reporting to your lord, the younger one walked around with his disciples and discovered that the Mo family's mechanism technique is indeed very magical. It is not something that ordinary people can touch. Can you touch the inside? The younger one has not tried it before.
I can’t guarantee it easily. But please rest assured, adults, as long as you give me a little more time, I believe I won’t be stumped.”
Li Si frowned when he heard this, and then calmed down and said: "If you, the loser, can't do anything, I really can't think of anyone who has this level of ability. You go and prepare first, and after a few months, start the official expansion of Li
When you’re in the mountains, I’ll find another chance to try it out.”
"There are not many people on the mountain now. If we touch Li Shanling rashly, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape detection. Okay, you can go down first."
Upon hearing this, the man in black bowed, turned and left.
After the man in black left, Li Si remembered the letter sent by Lin Ze before and said with a cold smile: "It seems that I have to cooperate with you and recruit laborers as soon as possible."
