But now that the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the first assistant Fang Congzhe have agreed, they are not good at objecting, after all, Guo Zhiyuan has made great contributions in the "palace transfer case", and it is not too outrageous to be promoted from four to three products, and the Ministry of Industry is mainly responsible for managing miscellaneous affairs such as construction, later stage, water conservancy, manufacturing, etc., and has the weakest sense of presence among the six ministries, and has the smallest right to speak in major national affairs, ranking at the bottom of the six ministries, belonging to the cold yamen, so this result is also reluctantly acceptable to the Donglin Party people, and it does not exceed their psychological bottom line. In the end, I can only pinch my nose and admit it!

In fact, Guo Zhiyuan's proposal to be a waiter in the Ministry of Industry is also deliberate, now that his layout on the southern coast has been completed, and a new order of maritime trade has been established, he can also let go. Only by entering the center of the country and winning the right to speak in the decision-making of major national events can he gain greater space for development and have the ability to turn the tide at a critical moment, so he resolutely left Fujian and came to the capital!

But entering the national center is equivalent to entering the whirlpool center of party strife, Guo Zhiyuan can be in Dongfan can be outside the monarch's life and engage in an independent kingdom, but if he enters the national center and does this, it is looking for death, whether it is in terms of qualifications or connections, he is equivalent to starting from scratch, at this time he can only act in a low-key manner, he took the initiative to ask to go to the Ministry of Industry, that is, to avoid the whirlpool center of party strife, and will not become the target of the Donglin Party's attack, but at the same time he retains his right to speak on key national affairs, This is because the Ministry of Works, as the deputy governor of one of the six ministries, can also express his opinion on major national affairs.

At the same time, Guo Zhiyuan also has deeper considerations, why did the Ming Dynasty obviously have the advantage of firearms but could not win Houjin? There are many factors, but the poor quality of weapons and equipment is also a very important reason, the quality of the muskets and artillery assembled by the army is not up to par, and it is easy to explode, so the soldiers are reluctant to use it, and the quality of the armor used to protect the vital points of the body is even more scummy, it is just the same as paper paste, and it can't stop the sharp arrows of Houjin at all, which makes the death rate of the Ming army and Houjin fight ridiculously high, which seriously affects the morale of the soldiers, so it is often several times the number of the Houjin army, but it is also defeated by the Houjin army with one blow, and the defeat is so that the armor is abandoned and fled!

Guo Zhiyuan can't go directly to the front line to fight with Houjin, so at least the quality of the ordnance provided to the soldiers at the front in the rear can also enhance the combat effectiveness of the Ming army and reduce unnecessary casualties, which can be regarded as a contribution to the country.

Another important reason for the defeat of the Ming Dynasty was the food problem, the people had no food to naturally rebel, so Li Zicheng and others of the peasant rebel army would suppress more and more, and finally became the gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty, and the food problem on the one hand because of the influence of the climate of the Xiaoice River reduced grain production, which Guo Zhiyuan could not change, but on the other hand, it was also because the water conservancy was in disrepair, crops could not be irrigated, naturally there could be no good harvest, and water conservancy was also under the management of the Ministry of Industry!

Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan had already made up his mind to enter the Ministry of Industry at the beginning of his entry into Beijing, and he performed hard in the "Palace Removal Case", using small Trojan horse toys to curry favor with the Emperor of the Apocalypse, for this purpose, and now he has fulfilled his wish!

The Donglin Party is anxious to control the government, so they are very concerned about the adjustment of the officials of the six ministries, and the efficiency is surprisingly fast, and the official appointment document will come down after three days, Guo Zhiyuan will naturally be able to take office immediately after getting the appointment document, he is now a Beijing official, and naturally he can't run with a large group of guards wherever he goes like in Dongfan in the past, so he only brought Fa Zheng and two personal guards as his entourage, but he was really not used to the sedan chair, so he got a four-wheeled carriage to sit and go to work.

The office of the six departments is in the noon gate of the imperial city, for the convenience of the office, so the six yamen are adjacent to each other, but each has its own courtyard, Guo Zhiyuan because he has just taken office, so he did not participate in the early dynasty, and went directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry is the most partial in the six yamen, which can also be seen its status in the six departments.

Arrived at the door of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Guo Zhiyuan got off the carriage, looked up at the door with the plaque of "Ministry of Industry", and was quite emotional, before he was the mayor's secretary, he also followed the mayor to Beijing to "run the department forward", which went to the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Construction is in charge of construction, but you can't run more, the taste of this "running department forward" is only known to those who have experienced it, no matter how big the official is in Beijing, it is not big, not to mention that Guo Zhiyuan before the crossing is just a small mayor's secretary, go to China. Can the central ministries and commissions ask people not to look at people's faces?

I didn't expect that after the crossing, I actually became a waiter in the Ministry of Industry, which is equivalent to the deputy minister of the Ministry of Construction. Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan smiled a little wickedly!

However, it is obvious that the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty is not like the modern Ministry of Construction is a popular department, which can also be seen from the red paint that is about to fall off on the door posts.

Guo Zhiyuan shook his head, walked towards the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and was stopped by the guard at the door as soon as he arrived at the door, the officer sat on the chair in the gatehouse, glanced at Guo Zhiyuan, and shouted: "Hey, hey, what about you, when this is your own home?" Just go inside? Do you understand the rules? ……”

Guo Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that because the official document of appointment had just come down, the new official uniform had not yet had time to be made, and he was still wearing the official uniform of the past, and he came in a carriage, and the messenger guarding the door obviously regarded himself as a magistrate who went to Beijing to do business!

But even if he regarded himself as a magistrate who went to Beijing to do business, he was wearing a four-grade official uniform, how could a guard at the door dare to yell at himself? Dare to love this Ming Dynasty is also the same as before his own crossing, a medium. The doormen of the central ministries and commissions also dare to ignore the mayor who came down to do things? This disease can be cured!

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan became interested, and did not reveal his identity, but said with a smile to the errand officer: "This official has just arrived, and he really doesn't understand the rules, but this errand master told me, what are the rules?" ……”

Seeing that Guo Zhiyuan's posture was very low, the messenger became more and more arrogant, shook Erlang's leg and said, "What rules?" Isn't this confusing? Who are you? Who do you want to meet? So what's going on? Report them one by one, so I can go to the courtesy, and the adults agree to see you, so you can enter! If anyone wants to enter, won't this Ministry of Industry Yamen become a vegetable market? ……”
