Chapter 453: Treacherous
Guo Wenying sneered, "What's the matter, Lord Bai won the 100 Workers Competition last time, is this here to show off to me?"
The last time their boat sank, she was rescued again, and in the end she didn't reach the end, but Wei Qi and Peng Cheng broke free from the entanglement of Pi Xiaosan and Zhang Qiang and swam to the finish line. In the end, the game was awarded to them, and a good opportunity was lost.
Losing the 100 Workers Competition, Guo Wenying is nothing, the saddest thing is her master Geng Yunkui, who has been unhappy for a long time. In addition, Guo Wenying was imprisoned, and she was anxious for a while, and she also fell ill. Although he was not seriously ill, he was old and in poor health, and it took a month to gradually get better, but what he was thinking about was the Hundred Workers Competition.
Guo Wenying hated Bai Yusheng for being insidious and cunning, and when he returned to the Ministry of Industry, he was the first one who couldn't be spared.
However, Bai Yusheng is too cunning, and she knows that Guo Wenying has no evidence and can't help him. On that day, the emperor ordered Qi Huaishan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, to investigate the matter thoroughly, and he used his work to destroy all the evidence. is also favored by God, Guo Wenying was too busy to take care of himself at that time, and he didn't have time to care about him at all, he had plenty of time and erased all traces.
Guo Wenying naturally knew that the best time had passed, and it would not be easy to catch him at this time, but in the future, there would always be a chance to get rid of this Bai Yusheng. The fact that such a person remained in the Ministry of Industry was simply a scourge to the imperial court.
Bai Yusheng pretended to be polite to her, then turned around and left, and when he arrived at the back public room, he immediately called someone to find his apprentice Peng Cheng.
After a while, Peng Cheng arrived, and clenched his fists, "Master, do you have something to do with your disciple?"
Bai Yusheng nodded, "I'll leave it to you, closely monitor Guo Wenying, see where she goes, who she contacts, and what she says." ”
Peng Cheng wondered, "It's just a woman, why should Master care so much." ”
"You know what. Bai Yusheng sighed, he always had a bad premonition, he was afraid that he was going to plant it this time, in the hands of a woman.
Guo Wenying's excellent machine skills he has seen with his own eyes, in all aspects even he is inferior, the boat map she drawn, if they hadn't changed her bamboo tube in advance, the person who won the best award would definitely be her. And this woman's background is too strong, she has relatives such as Dingguo Gong and Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, as well as many ministers in the court, and even the emperor seems to have someone who rumors that she has an unusual relationship with the emperor. If such a person wants to strangle him, he has no power to resist at all.
It seems that he can only take one step at a time, grasp her movements, and then think of a strategy.
Peng Cheng listened to his master's words and went to spy on Guo Wenying, but how could he get close to Guo Wenying's side? In less than half a day, he asked someone to beat him into a pig's head and come back, and he didn't even know who beat him, only that as soon as it was dark in front of him, he was thrown out of the wall, and two broken ribs were broken, and he couldn't get out of bed for a while. Bai Yusheng was frightened, for fear of being retaliated against, so he hurriedly asked the officials for leave, saying that he was sick and wanted to rest for a while.
On the second day, Guo Wenying officially went on a business trip, and Jiang Minghe, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was not bad to her, and the public house arranged for her was a single room, not with other officials, which made it a lot more convenient for her. It happened that Bai Yusheng was on leave, and Jiang Minghe handed over the affairs of the Ordnance Bureau and the Firearms Bureau, which Bai Yusheng was in charge of, to Guo Wenying.
Guo Wenying suddenly got busy, first inspected the two bureaus for two days to understand the situation, and then checked the various weapons produced in the previous two bureaus, and found that there were many problems in the two bureaus. Its technical level is not half a star worse than the supervision office she established by herself back then. This is also the result of Bai Yusheng holding two games alone for so many years. Many skilled workers are not reused, and some so-called cronies are recruited, and there are many people who have sloppied horses.
She intended to get these people out, but the number was too heavy, and she couldn't find a replacement for a while, so she really couldn't do it.
She told Deng Jiucheng about this, and planned to hold a technical competition not only in these two bureaus, but also in the twelve bureaus of the imperial court, and those who did not pass the skill would be cleared out of the twelve bureaus. And proposed to Deng Jiucheng to find back those craftsmen who were originally in the southeast, although some of them are old, but the skills are excellent.
Deng Jiucheng had actually thought about transferring the craftsman back to Beijing, but he had just been promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, and a lot of real power was in Qi Huaishan's hands. And places like the capital are all about seniority and identity, like him, who was born in a poor person, and did not go through the imperial examination, he directly became a waiter in the Ministry of Works, which was already very hated, and what he wanted to do was usually just a thought, and others would not listen to him at all.
But it's good that Guo Wenying is here this time, although she is a five-grade servant, she is more powerful than him in words and deeds. Her identity is extraordinary, and others are jealous of her relationship with the emperor, even if she is not happy, she has to let her be divided into two, and it is much more useful than him to say a word.
Sure enough, this matter was mentioned by Guo Wenying, and Jiang Minghe immediately said that he would report to the emperor, but the twelve games were competing in technology at the same time, and the movement was too big, so it was better to choose two of them to compete in technology, and then choose another game, so as to make a buffer for several other bureaus.
Guo Wenying naturally agreed, so she said that she would start with the Ordnance Bureau and the Firearms Bureau. This is obviously taking Bai Yusheng under the knife. Qi Huaishan and Bai Yusheng had a good relationship, and then told him about it, and the two went to discuss countermeasures.
Guo Wenying naturally knew that this matter would not go smoothly, the officialdom of Nanqi was full of filth and dirt, and some things were not personally experienced, so he didn't know what was going on, even if it was Feng Jingting, what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg, and he had no way of knowing the dark side of it.
And once you get started, how difficult it is for Guo Wenying to do something, no wonder Deng Jiucheng has not built at all for a few months when he arrives in the Ministry of Industry, and the reason is here.
In addition, Deng Jiucheng is already a little soft, so he can obey others' orders, but when it is really his turn to be the master, he is at a loss, but fortunately, Guo Wenying is here, and he has found the backbone. I don't mind being a higher official than her like before, but I give her a hand.
It was not difficult to transfer craftsmen from the southeast, and the emperor had ordered a batch to be transferred, but they were not reused, scattered to various bureaus, and in the end they all disappeared.
So this time Guo Wenying handled it by herself, she asked Jiang Minghe for an order, and gave her a lot of privileges, from the transfer of craftsmen to technical training, and the arrangement of entry into the post was all done by her. And at the same time, the examination of the two games is also in full swing.
This time, the craftsmen transferred also had some skilled workers in the shipyard, and the imperial court intended to build a navy in the southeast, and reorganized the current New Southern Army to establish the Southern Qi Navy.
