Hearing the footsteps, Xiao Lizi raised his head and looked over.
When he saw Lin Shangli's figure, he hurriedly put down the langhao pen in his hand and stood up.
Raise your hand to take out the whisk from behind your neck, place it in the crook of your arm, fold your hands on your lower abdomen, and step aside respectfully.
"Mr. Factory Master, you are back."
"Yeah." Lin Shangli responded, walked to the table and sat down.
He picked up the document that Xiao Lizi was writing and looked at it carefully.
"Let's not talk about our little plum's knowledge. This beautiful handwriting alone makes people feel like spring breeze." Holding the document in his hand, Lin Shangli looked at it and said with a smile.
"I don't think I have any knowledge. I just selected some of the more important things from the materials sent back by my father-in-law and excerpted them together."
Little Plum blushed and felt a little embarrassed to be praised.
After resting, Lin Shangli raised his right hand and flicked the talent document casually with a few fingers: "Selecting some important things among so many materials is also a science. The emperor's energy is limited, and there are so many people in the court.
Department, if everything big and small is reported to the department, how can it be seen?"
Turning his head and putting down the document in his hand, Lin Shangli smiled and looked at Xiao Lizi.
"While I am away, you are temporarily in charge of this matter. Let me ask you now, what kind of things must be excerpted in detail in your consciousness?"
"There are areas where the department fails to implement the imperial laws and regulations, new things have happened that may affect the reputation of the imperial court, and there are also areas where the department has some suggestions or dissatisfaction with the imperial court."
Looking at Xiao Lizi, Lin Shangli couldn't help but have a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Regardless of whether what he said is true or false, these remarks alone are much stronger than many officials in North Korea and China.
At least, he had the imperial court in mind and safeguarded the imperial court's interests at all times.
"If a famine occurs in a place, in order to protect their political performance, local officials will try their best to minimize the losses caused by the famine. What do you think about this matter?" Lin Shangli asked again.
"The villain, like Xiao Chen, is a poor boy who grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. When he was a child, all he saw in his eyes was the suffering of the people. If he encounters this kind of situation, the villain will definitely tell the truth to the court about the true situation.
Report. Famine means that people are displaced and die. If they ignore the suffering of the people for the sake of their own political achievements, such officials should be severely punished by the court."
"Okay, okay." Lin Shangli said "good" three times in a row and nodded happily, "On the other hand, if the famine is not serious, but the local government exaggerates and reports to the court. How should we deal with such a situation?"
"When there is a famine in a local area, it must be the imperial court that provides relief. Whether it is food or disaster relief money, the imperial court will spare no effort to transport it to the disaster area as soon as possible. When this happens, the local government is just trying to take advantage of the famine and ruthlessly punish it.
Make a fortune. Such officials will also be severely punished by the court."
Lin Shangli stood up, looked at Xiao Lizi, and let out a long breath.
"It's a good thing that he came from the same place as Xiao Chen. You all have the suffering of the people all over the world in your hearts. If he is arranged to go to Longxi County, I will feel relieved. But if I am arranged for you to go, I will always feel relieved.
It’s a feeling of ups and downs.”
"Is there a famine in Longxi?" Xiao Lizi asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Lin Shangli nodded, "Longxi is drought-stricken, and people can't even plant seeds in the fields. The land there is not fertile, and the family's surplus grain, who knows how long it can last. The Ministry of Household Affairs has sent people to check the disaster situation, and then according to the
Only by reporting back the information can we formulate next steps for disaster relief measures.”
"But the emperor is anxious. All the people of the Ming Dynasty are his subjects. Although he is cold and majestic on weekdays, in his heart, he does not want any of the people of the Ming Dynasty to suffer because of famine. Therefore, the emperor appointed us to the East
Factory, arrange for manpower to go to Longxi County quickly and report the local famine to the court truthfully."
Lowering his head again, Lin Shangli looked at a table of documents, his eyes full of anxiety.
"The factory owner is worried that if I go to Longxi County, I won't be able to complete this task?" He raised his head and saw a strong look on his little face.
"No." Lin Shangli shook his head slowly.
"Xiao Chen is busy in the Criminal Department, and the others are also busy performing their duties. The factory boss will leave this matter to the villain." Xiao Lizi straightened his thin body and opened his mouth more
It's a hard hold.
Reaching out and picking up a book from the tall pile of documents, Lin Shangli flipped through it casually.
"Xiao Chen, although he also cares about the people of the world, he is a sharp knife. Anything he doesn't like will be cut off on the spot. And you, your personality is too soft. I'm not afraid that you can't handle things well, I
I'm afraid that if you go, you will be punished by the local government. If you stay away from the capital, if something happens, Dongchang will be out of reach."
"I went here this time just to check the true scale and extent of the local famine. Everything will be fine. Don't worry, Mr. Factory Master." Xiao Lizi smiled shyly.
Throwing the documents in his hand on the table, Lin Shangli slowly turned around and looked at Little Plum with a kind face as if he were looking at his own child.
With his gray hair under the brim of his hat and his gentle smile, he looked like a kind uncle next door.
At this moment, no one could tell that he would be the Dongchang factory owner with absolute supreme power in the Ming Dynasty.
"You, Xiao Chen, and Wang San, the three of you have been dependent on each other since childhood. I am honored that you can all become people from Dongchang and become my subordinates." As he spoke, Lin Shangli's eyes were slightly moist, "Wang San has already
We took the first step, and now, of the three of you, only you and Xiao Chen are left to continue working for Dongchang."
Mentioning Wang San, Xiao Lizi's eye circles couldn't help but turn red, and her voice was even choked with sobs.
"Brother Wang died in the line of duty for the sake of the imperial court. Xiao Chen and I will complete the things he failed to complete for him."
"Wang San's death has made me unable to overcome this hurdle in my heart. He just went to deliver an order to Dongchang, but he died in the other party's trap. This is a provocation to our Dongchang, and it is also a challenge to Dongchang.
It was my provocation from the Ming Dynasty. Although the culprit Liao Xianghe is still imprisoned in Dongchang Prison, I did not kill him. This is my debt to Wang San and my debt to him for following me for so many years."
"So many days have passed since this incident, and Xiao Chen even personally took Liao Xianghe into prison. Although he was not beheaded, he could only spend the rest of his life in prison. If Brother Wang knew about the factory owner,
If the Lord is so worried about this matter, he will definitely not feel at ease."
"After following me for so many years and being framed to death, how could I just let it go? The three of you have already lost one, and I don't want anything to happen to you again. This time, I'll send someone else to Longxi County.
Bar."
After saying that, Lin Shangli raised his right hand, patted Xiao Lizi's shoulder, and pointed at the pen and ink on the table: "Stay well in Dongchang. While I'm away, sort out the documents brought back by the uncles and send them to the palace in time.
.”
"But, Mr. Factory..." Xiao Lizi still wanted to fight for it, but was interrupted by Lin Shangli's words.
"Okay, just pretend you don't know about this. I have made up my mind and will arrange for others to go."
With that said, Lin Shangli turned around and walked out of the back hall.
Passing through the passage, Lin Shangli came to the hall outside.
Holding the table with his hands, he slowly sat on the chair.
He picked up the tea that the captain had just poured for him and brought it to his mouth. He didn't care to taste it and slowly placed it on the table.
There are more than 2,000 people in the entire Dongchang, but at the critical moment, there are very few people who can be used.
This trip to Longxi needs to be quick, and the reported information must be accurate. I just arrange people to go there casually, but I don't feel at ease in my heart.
On Xiao Chen's side, the matter of Jin Yiwei is at a critical moment and must not be touched.
As for the Shenji Battle, since its establishment, it has not really fought a good battle. Faced with the emperor's doubts, it must be trained as soon as possible and use military exploits to gain the emperor's approval.
Therefore, as the commander of the Shenji, Liu Rufeng must not move.
Xiao Lizi is the most suitable candidate now.
However, he had already killed Wang San. If Xiao Lizi made another mistake, would Xiao Chen be dissatisfied with him?
Although he is the owner of Dongchang Factory and Xiao Chen's immediate boss, the relationship they have established since childhood is much deeper than that of himself, the owner of Dongchang Factory.
On this point, I can still weigh it clearly.
"Well, except for Xiao Lizi, I really can't send anyone I can trust. I'd better discuss it with Xiao Chen. If he agrees, let Xiao Lizi go."
Lin Shangli sighed, stood up, and walked towards the direction of the Criminal Department.
