Chapter Seventy-Eight: I Will Be a Master
He will be a master craftsman, and he will be a governor of the overseers. He is in charge of the civil construction of palaces, temples, mausoleums, etc., with a rank of 2,000 stones, and his subordinates have stone warehouses and carpentry orders.
To Ma Yue's surprise, when he brought the nine hundred gold he had scraped together into the Ten Thousand Gold Hall, Liu Hong didn't really ask him for two thousand gold, not even a thousand gold, just asked him for five hundred gold and gave him the official position.
Ma Yue was overjoyed, Liu Hong just said lightly: Ma Qing, you are already among the secretaries.
In addition to Jiuqing, there are three auxiliary chiefs Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, right Fufeng and will be a master craftsman, ruling Jinwu, and the status of Da Changqiu and Yu Lu are equal to Jiuqing, so they are called Zhuqing.
Now Ma Yue is already a Zhuqing in name, but his status, he knows in his heart, he is still far behind.
He was bought as an official.
Regardless of his status, he is going to do it well. And only by doing this well can his reputation be restored a little.
"At least I want people to know that I, Ma Yue, didn't take this official position with the attendants for selfishness!"
On the morning of the second day, Ma Yue said to Peng Shi, so he asked Peng Shi to bring a bow and arrow, and Ma Yue appeared at Kaiyangmen wearing an official uniform with a crown and a small ring knife pinned to his waist. He had come here to meet two of his subordinates.
"Carpentry makes Wang Feng see a master craftsman."
"Shikusi Liu Bad has seen a master craftsman."
Carpenter Ling Wang Feng is an old man in his sixties, with a gentle smile on his face, although he is not flattering, he makes people feel peaceful. Just by looking at his feelings, Ma Yue could guess that this old carpentry order should have been an old man who had been in prison for more than thirty years. Shikusi Liu Bad is a young man who is not much different from Ma Yue, with a pair of slender wolf eyes, deep nasolabial folds on his face, and a bit of a fierce look.
"I'm Ma Yue, the two of you may know about me, and they will be colleagues in the future, I hope that the three of us can work together to do things for Your Majesty."
Wang Feng nodded with a smile, and Liu Bad asked, "Master, what are your requirements for my master and apprentice?" ”
"Master and apprentice?" Ma Yue muttered to himself and asked, "How much wood and stone is needed to repair the palace, and how many materials have been collected in the wooden and stone warehouses now?" ”
"Giant trees and masonry and other things, not as good as one." Wang Feng presented a volume of the book as a record and said: "The materials have been delivered to the treasury a few days ago, and every three days, a state and county team will send wood and stones, and you will be asked to supervise it at that time." ”
"Yes." Ma Yue nodded lightly, and before he could say anything to the two, he saw a middle-aged general walking down the road of the city wall, and said to Ma Yue: "Zhao Yan, the captain of the lower city gate, has seen the master craftsman." ”
Zhao Yan? Ma Yue glanced twice, yes, this person is seven points similar to Zhao Zhong's physiognomy, but he is not as good-looking as Zhao Zhong, maybe because of his temperament, this Zhao Chang looks more like an honest craftsman than a general.
"Captain Zhao is here to find him, but there is something important?" Ma Yue pretended to ask, in fact, he knew too well in his heart that this was to bring a message to him for the regular servant. And Ma Yue knows very well in his heart that whether this matter can be done well or not is not only related to the taxation of the people of Sanzhou, but it is no longer a matter outside his body to come to this point. How this matter is finally completed, it is related to his future reputation in the future, if he does not do it well and makes Liu Hong look down on him, then he will only have two results.
Either be a thousand-stone miscellaneous official in Luoyang until the world is in chaos, or go back to Liangzhou to be your own little tyrant...... Maybe you won't be able to go any further for the rest of your life.
Zhao Yan smiled at him and said, "What can I do, isn't it just to bring a message to the master craftsmen for the regular attendants." ”
"If you have anything to say, Captain, please speak." Ma Yue had an expression that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and glanced at Zhao Yan, "Ma Yue listened." ”
"Hey, hey." Zhao Yan didn't look strange when he saw Ma Yue making such an aggressive expression of resistance, and said with a smile: "The attendants said, since it is Ma Jun who wants to do this, they are always difficult to stop, and they will not blame you, if you are short of money, you just need to send a house slave to the permanent servant's mansion to bring a message at will, naturally you have money that you can't use up, don't make others laugh in the court for a little money, and ruin the relationship between the two parties." If you want to seek fame, then the attendants will fulfill you, the attendants are not small-bellied people, but I just hope that you will not have a next time. ”
Ma Yue was stunned, he licked his lips, opened his mouth five times and three times to his mouth but couldn't say it, and finally said: "Please tell Chang Shi that Ma Yue is not for himself this time, but thank Chang Shi for your understanding." ”
"Well, it's good if you can understand the hard work of the attendants, no matter what your purpose, the attendants don't want to be enemies with you, they have come step by step to the present, you should understand that it is not easy for me to wait, the attendants said, such a thing is not willing to see, not an example." Zhao Yan smiled and said, "By the way, Zhang Changshou invited you to come over tonight, can you appreciate your face?" ”
"Please thank the waiter for me, Ma Yue will go."
Zhao Yan left satisfied, and Ma Yue stopped outside the city and was stunned for a long time. He knew that Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others were entrapping him, and he could see it. He is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, if Zhao Yan threatens him with a knife, he doesn't care whether Zhao Yan is Zhao Zhong's younger brother or not, it is not strange to directly pull out the knife and behead him, but Zhang let Zhao Zhong and others love money so much, but he would rather give up these to invite him to come over, if he doesn't go again, it will really be shameless.
How many people want to enter Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong's mansion gate does not have this opportunity.
Taking a deep breath, Ma Yue looked back and said to Wang Feng and Liu Bad: "I don't care who was in charge before, I won't blame you for those things that were corrupt and perverted the law before, but now that I'm here, no one can covet a lot of money from here, understand?" ”
"No."
Liu Bad said: "Master, our craftsmen will not be greedy for money, but outside the city gate, up to the captain, down to the soldiers, they all need to spend money, otherwise the wood and stone can't be transported in, and those soldiers don't care about us craftsmen." ”
"And this?" Ma Yue frowned and said, "It's okay, if there is wood and stone to be transported, they won't let them in, you will leave it outside the city first, and ask someone to look for me, and no one can stop you." ”
"No."
"Let's go, take me to the prison and have a look."
The group of four left the Kaiyang Gate and walked towards the general supervisor in the city, this was Ma Yue's workplace, and he had to go and see it. And he needs to study again, since he has become a master craftsman, he must know the knowledge of building palaces and mausoleums, otherwise he will lose his adult in the court. In the future, after collecting the materials, he will still supervise the construction of the palace.
Along the way, he knew more about Wang Feng and Liu Bad, Wang Feng was born in engineering, and he was a subordinate official in Shaofu for more than ten years, and then transferred to the carpentry order for more than ten years, and he has his own unique views on building construction, and he is a master in this industry. And Liu Bad is his personal disciple, mainly attacking the mausoleum side, studying under Wang Feng for several years, and has already learned something.
