Chang'an City Ministry of Industry Yamen

The newly appointed waiter of the Ministry of Works handed out the money, and Yu Qi, the newly appointed foreigner who was responsible for planting trees in Nancheng and expanding the palace, led people to drive several ox carts to pull the money away.

Only then did he pull the money into the small courtyard, Yu Qi was enthusiastically ordering someone to count the money, and a director surnamed Qian hugged the account book and said with a sad face: "Yu Yuanwailang, this time the budget of our camp department is not enough at all, Yuanwailang, you have to think of a way, you can't ask everyone to be busy and have to put money inside." ”

"Not enough?" Yu Qi was taken aback: "How can it be not enough, when Qi Jing was here earlier, the budget reported for these projects was much less than what was reported now, at that time, you still have a lot of money left, and you are fattened one by one, why is it not enough now, I told you that the surname is Qian, don't look at me when I am young." ”

"Am I blinding you?" Qian was about to laugh angrily: "Lord Yu, this person has to speak with conscience, my surname Qian has been in the Ministry of Industry for half a lifetime, what am I called everyone to evaluate and evaluate, am I such a person who conceals and deceives the subordinates, to tell you the truth, we don't have to count these account books when Lord Qi was there earlier, Lord Qi can calculate the accounts clearly after a few glances, and the work arrangement for everyone is very reasonable, the project he arranged not only saves money, but also does it well, it can be said that every penny is spent on the right place, naturally saves a lot of money, But what about you...... You are a member of the Ministry of Works, in charge of our Battalion Division, it stands to reason that you must at least be able to read the account books as an official, and you also have to understand these projects, but you see. ”

Director Qian said a lot of words, and the account book he patted as he spoke: "There are many rocks to be made in the garden of Nancheng, and we have reported how much we will use, if you don't say enough, you have to get more and pile up the rockeries higher." The flowers and plants in the garden also cost a lot of money, originally according to the meaning of Lord Qi this is not a royal garden, but for the people to see, many places to plant some ordinary flowers and plants that are easy to feed, as long as they are planted, it is very good to separate them according to the season, you have to say that you want to be precious......"

Before Mr. Qian finished speaking, Yu Qi's face turned red. He is the new official who took office with three fires. He looked down on Qi Jing's actions, and overturned all the work that Qi Jing had originally arranged, but it would be a waste of money.

There are several directors of the Ministry of Works and Cheng Feng Lang who are far away from watching the excitement. Where Yu Qi couldn't see, there were also small officials who gathered together and whispered, talking about Yu Qi's inability, and he didn't even know how to settle the account, so he had to come to the Ministry of Industry to be an official. It's really an old birthday star hanging, and it's a long life.

Speaking of which. Not only the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also the former and the former dynasties, all those who came to the Ministry of Industry to be officials did not count very well, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites were different. What is important is to be pragmatic, and you have to be able to endure hardships and offends, and want to reap benefits. If you want to enjoy happiness, then come to the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible.

Earlier, when Qi Jing was in the Ministry of Industry. That's really hard-working and practical, and he is smooth and eloquent, respectful to the officials, and very protective of these small officials at the bottom, and most people in the Ministry of Industry praised him well.

Although the petty officials who worked with Qi Jing worked hard, because Qi Jing's work was well arranged, they were able to save a lot of money and make a lot of oil and water, and they lived a life one by one.

Just waiting for Qi Jing to leave on the front foot, and then Yu Qi took the relationship with Ding Zaifu and entered the Ministry of Industry to replace Qi Jing's position.

As a result, there was not much time, Yu Qi made a mess of the first section of the Camp Division, several projects not only missed work, but also spent a lot of unjust money, just this, not only did he not feel wrong, but he also felt good about himself, he had to be so confident that others would listen to him, but he made the officials here angry.

"What's wrong with the nobles?" Yu Qi is also quite guilty in his heart, but even if the dead duck has a hard mouth, he can't change his mind and admit his mistake when he dies: "Doesn't the precious one show His Majesty's love for the people, it doesn't matter how much it costs, the key is that we have to make this garden good and beautiful." ”

Qian Zhu pouted, his heart said it, and made it beautiful, how beautiful the garden designed by Lord Qi was earlier, you changed it when you came up, you made it like that, and said that it was beautiful, so that His Majesty had to be angry to death.

"Let's leave it at that, and I'll ask the squire for some money later." Yu Qi waved his hand, looking unconcerned.

The money owner was happy: "That's it, anyway, you can bear this matter, even if the sky falls, we are not afraid." ”

After speaking, he walked away with the account book, and after taking a few steps, the head of the money thought that he must find a relationship and change places, but he couldn't work with this second fool anymore.

Putting down the account book, the head of the money thought that he and the manager of the palace were of the same surname, and they had also been related earlier, and now they still have some contacts, so they should be able to ask the head manager to help him and change the place for him.

Thinking like this, Mr. Qian didn't have the heart to work, so he asked for leave and went home with some gifts and wanted to visit Mr. Qian.

But I didn't want to meet Liu Rui halfway, the manager of the money was very good with Liu Rui earlier, so that Director Qian and Liu Rui also knew each other, looking at Liu Rui, Director Qian hurriedly smiled and came over to greet him: "I've seen Grandpa Liu, you are always ......"

Liu Rui waved his hand and smiled: "It's the nephew of the old Qian family, what are you doing here?" ”

Liu Rui asked, the bitter water in the stomach of the Qian master had a place to pour, so he had to take Liu Rui to the side of the restaurant to sit down, but it happened that Liu Rui didn't have a big deal, just flattered Emperor Ping's order to go out and take a look around, see if there was anything interesting in the people, and then ask who had a strange thing, collect information and go back to Emperor Chengping.

Director Qian pulled this pull, Liu Rui went to the restaurant with him, the two of them found a small private room and asked for wine and food, Director Qian poured wine for Liu Rui and began to complain: "No, I want to go to Uncle Clan to ask for an idea, I just met you, I want to make an idea with you, Gonggong Liu, you and my uncle are iron friendships, I am also your nephew, you can't ignore me." ”

Liu Rui touched his chin and smiled: "Look at what you said, if I want to have a nephew like you, I'm not crazy, just for your uncle's sake, I will also hear if you have any difficulties, if you can help, I will also pull you." ”

Liu Rui agreed, and the Qian director was very happy, and he gave Liu Rui another dish, and then scolded: "Isn't it the heartless thing that we came from the camp department, he really thinks he is a character, he can't even understand the account book, and he shouts this and directs that all day long, and he instructs that, bah, it's disgusting, I can count enough under his hands." ”

"Who are you talking about?" Liu Rui is a little older, and he can't remember who it is for a while.

"It's the one in the family, the one who stammers with Ding Xiang." Mr. Qian waved his hand and poured a glass of wine and drank it in one sip: "Uncle Liu, don't you know, just this kid is really two hundred and five, originally Master Qi arranged it well when he left, and he came up and did it, but he wanted to show off how capable he was, and he completely overturned the plan left by Lord Qi and started over, and we didn't sleep for several nights to help him make accounts, but as a result, phew, not only spent more money, but also asked us to carry the black pot, saying that I, the person in charge, deceived the superiors and subordinates, Uncle Liu, I was wronged, I don't say I've been conscientious in the Ministry of Industry all my life, but I'm also conscientious, and when Lord Qi was there, I didn't praise me less, but the fool at home didn't have a heart and couldn't see things clearly. ”

As soon as Liu Rui heard what Qian said, he pondered: "Wait, you're talking about Yu Yuanwailang, who has only just taken office now, the one who is in charge of the Nancheng garden and the expansion of the palace." ”

"Hmm." Director Qian nodded, and ate the food: "Who else is there besides this fool." ”

Liu Rui was happy to hear it: "Yo ho, he is really so bad, so that honest people like you can learn to scold." ”

"Alas!" Director Qian sighed: "This Lord Qi is also really, how can he go to Suzhou to eat the wind and sand, leaving us people to be clean every day." ”

Liu Rui drank two sips of wine, ate two more bites of food, and greeted Mr. Qian with a smile: "What the hell is going on, why do I get more and more confused the more I listen, you tell me carefully." ”

Director Qian put down his chopsticks and told all the two hundred and five things that Yu Qi had done in the Ministry of Industry these days, and scolded at the end: "Stupid, he still dares to take care of the project like him, I'm not afraid that he will make those projects into a bottomless pit in the future, Uncle Liu, I just thought that I can't go with these two hundred and fifty one anymore, you have to help me, you can help me change places, no matter where you go, even if you go to the craftsman department, it is better than following him." ”

Liu Rui was serious when he heard this, and asked Director Qian with a smile: "How is the garden in Nancheng?" ”

Director Qian slapped the table: "What can I do, everything is done, and all that is left is to plant some flowers and plants, but ...... Alas, don't ask, you can see for yourself when you have time. ”

Liu Rui was also depressed when he heard it, and then looked at the head of the money, thinking that this kid is usually an honest man and is very kind, so he begged himself this time, if he didn't care about the relationship with the old money, he couldn't look past it, and besides, Liu Rui wanted to sue the old man, before he told the old man, he also wanted to do some good things, so as to leave a good reputation for himself, so he patted the head of the money on the shoulder: "Cheng, your Uncle Liu can't ignore you, wait for me to go back and take a look, and see where there are vacancies, I will get you there, speaking of which, you don't have to rely on learning, I ran into the head of the household and told me about it, saying that there are a few people who will settle accounts if there is a lack of the household, what do you think? ”

Director Qian was happy when he heard it: "Cheng, Cheng, the household is very good, you always bother, you have to worry a lot." ”

Mr. Qian couldn't ask Liu Ruibai to handle it, so he took out a few small antiquities prepared at home and gave them to Liu Rui: "It's not a good thing, but it's more delicate, you can always take it home and coax the children to play." ”

Liu Rui didn't refuse, took it in his arms and got up to leave, but Director Qian hurriedly settled the account and sent Liu Rui out.

After leaving the restaurant, Liu Rui asked Director Qian to take him to Nancheng to have a look.

Mr. Qian couldn't wait to make Yu Qi uncomfortable, so he immediately called a car and went straight to Nancheng with Liu Rui.

How did Yu Qi know that the money owner sued him, and he was shelving the Ministry of Labor to get angry with those small officials under his hands, in the small courtyard of Yu's house, Xu Shi was holding a number of jewelry, clothes and jewelry and a few big gold ingots and laughed happily: "Sure enough, the Ministry of Industry is full of oil and water, and it is good to get a real job, and after a long time in office, people will send the money to the door, and it will not take much effort to get the benefits, so fools don't want it."
