Chapter 480: Demand

Li Dehai didn't know how to answer, and cautiously asked: "Lord Shangshu, how should I deal with the matter of Chief Liu?" ……”

Wang Zuo waved his hand and sneered: "Just do what Master Guo instructs, since he is willing to be a villain, why should the old man stop him!" When he can't move an inch, he will naturally come to the old man......"

Li Dehai actually thinks that Guo Zhiyuan is not wrong to do this, there are many middle-level officials in the Ministry of Industry like Liu Qingshui, who always regard themselves as clear streams, and their eyes are above the top, and they are called back and forth for these low-level officials of lower grades, even if they don't have much reverence for Wang Zuo and their bosses, let alone those local officials who come to the capital to do business, which leads to the efficiency of the entire Ministry of Industry and Yamen is very slow, and someone should take care of them.

Wang Zuo, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, doesn't forget if he doesn't do anything, he still wants Guo Zhiyuan to be a villain and take advantage of the fisherman's profits, how can the Ministry of Industry Yamen do it well with such a chief official?

Of course, Li Dehai was soft-spoken, so naturally he would not be stupid enough to help Guo Zhiyuan speak in front of Wang Zuo, so he cautiously retreated and went to handle Liu Qingshui's suspension review according to Guo Zhiyuan and Wang Zuo's instructions.

Guo Zhiyuan finally finished reading the information after reading the information in the signing room for a morning, so that he had a general understanding of the basic situation of the Ministry of Industry, and felt more and more that his act of prestige was not wrong, and the entire Ministry of Industry Yamen was floating in things, like a pool of stagnant water, and if he wanted to make a difference in the Ministry of Industry, he had to take fierce medicine!

However, Guo Zhiyuan also knew that he would definitely encounter collective resistance from the officials of the Ministry of Industry if he did this, which he had already felt, he had been sitting in the signing room for almost a morning, and he was stunned that no official of the Ministry of Industry took the initiative to report to him, this problem is indeed a bit troublesome, he must have a few subordinates who can do things if he wants to make a difference, and he can't be the commander of the light pole.

Guo Zhiyuan rubbed his temples with a little headache and stood up, he decided to meet Wang Zuo, his boss, on the one hand, this is a minimum of respect, and on the other hand, he also wants to determine his own work, so that he can carry out his work next.

Came to the signing room of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, Wang Zuo was talking to a slightly younger elderly official, and when he saw Guo Zhiyuan coming in, the two immediately stopped talking, Wang Zuo stood up and pointed at the elderly official and said haha: "Lord Guo, you came just in time, the old man will introduce you, this is the left waiter Yao Siren Yao, the old man is old, the affairs of the Ministry of Industry and the Yamen will depend on the two of you in the future, you should be close to ......."

As he spoke, he pointed to Guo Zhiyuan and was about to introduce him to Yao Siren, but Yao Siren waved his hand and said: "Lord Shangshu doesn't need to be introduced, Lord Guo is in the limelight now, and he showed his might at the gate of the yamen early this morning, who doesn't know anyone, Lord Shangshu, you talk slowly, the next official will leave first...... "After speaking, he ignored Guo Zhiyuan and left!"

Guo Zhiyuan touched his nose a little embarrassed, but Wang Zuo said nonchalantly: "Lord Yao is such a character, it will be good if you get acquainted in the future, Lord Guo, sit down, what is the matter with you coming to this official?" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan didn't bother to be hypocritically polite to Wang Zuo, and went straight to the point: "Lord Wang, the lower officials have just arrived, and they still don't know for a while, can Lord Shangshu determine the duties of the lower officials, so that the lower officials will not be too idle......"

Wang Zuo's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said in his heart that you are too anxious, so you are in a hurry to ask for power, but he continued to say haha: "Okay, good, it is better for Lord Guo to have the courage to do things, and the old man can also be easier, so let's do it, my Ministry of Industry has four divisions: the Camp Repair Division, which is in charge of the construction and repair of the palace office; Yu Hengsi, in charge of manufacturing, sending and receiving various official utensils; The Department of Water Resources is in charge of water conservancy, estimating the cost of the project, and is in charge of the production of edicts and official documents; Tuntian Division, Zhangling Mausoleum repair and write-off costs, materials and part of the tax ...... The Camp Division and the Tuntian Division are currently under the control of Lord Yao, so why don't Master Guo manage the Yu Heng Division and the Ministry of Water Division......"

Wang Zuo so readily handed over the Yu Heng Division and the Ministry of Water to Guo Zhiyuan to manage the natural no good news, the four divisions of the battalion division is the most abundant oil and water, which is very understandable, the management of infrastructure is also a very rich department in modern times, as for the Tuntian Division, it is the most powerful, all the expenses of the Ministry of Industry must be written off by the Tuntian Department, and it is also in charge of material support and part of the tax, and the power is not imaginable.

As for Yu Heng Division and the Ministry of Water Division, they are the departments that the officials of the Ministry of Industry are most reluctant to go to, not to mention the great responsibility, even if there is some oil and water, they also risk being beheaded, so Wang Zuo is impartial on the surface, but in fact, he completely put Guo Zhiyuan into another book, and he has the heart to see his jokes!

Guo Zhiyuan wanted to improve the quality of the weapons and equipment of the Ming army, and the Ordnance Bureau under the Yu Heng Division was responsible for manufacturing military weapons and equipment such as armor, waist knives, spears, guns, etc., and the Ministry of Water was in charge of water conservancy projects, which was also Guo Zhiyuan's inevitable department, so even if Wang Zuo did not arrange it like this, Guo Zhiyuan would definitely strive to win from him and include the Yu Heng Division and the Ministry of Water into his own management scope.

Now that someone is sleepy and someone sends a pillow, it is naturally better, but Guo Zhiyuan pretended to be very embarrassed on his face and said: "When Xia Guan first came to the Ministry of Industry, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on this important task, and I am afraid that I will live up to the trust of Lord Shangshu......"

Wang Zuo waved his hand and laughed: "Lord Guo is too modest, Lord Guo can build Dongfan from a desert island into a prosperous place comparable to Suzhou and Hangzhou in a few years, and it is not a piece of cake to manage the two divisions of the Ministry of Industry?" The old man has reached the age of Zhishi, I am afraid that it will not be long before the position of Shangshu will be handed over to Lord Guo! ……”

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan knew that Wang Zuo was not right, and deliberately tested himself, so he hurriedly said: "What is this saying, Lord Wang, Lord Wang should be old and strong, and he is the pillar of the country, only when Lord Wang is in charge, the Ministry of Industry can operate normally, who can take over the position of Lord Wang?" The lord asked the subordinate to manage the Yu Heng Division and the Ministry of Water Division, and the subordinate official should do his best, but the subordinate official has a reluctant request, and I hope that the lord can grant the subordinate the right to appoint personnel, otherwise it will be difficult for the subordinate official to take on this important task......"

Wang Zuo frowned when he heard this, this Guo Zhiyuan is too much, he just came and reached out to ask for personnel power, but Guo Zhiyuan is a waiter of the Ministry of Industry after all, if he doesn't give him any power, and wants him to manage the Yu Heng Division and the Ministry of Water Division, it is indeed a little unreasonable, and he thought about it: "Yes, but it is limited to officials below the sixth grade, and it is also necessary to report to the Ministry of Officials, as for the officials above the sixth grade, even the official cannot be appointed and dismissed at will, and the official also hopes that Lord Guo will not be in a hurry, and if you want to hurry, you will not be able to achieve it, and you still have to focus on the stability of the overall situation!" ……”
