When Li Zhongyi returned to the yamen of the third division to "go to work" again, it suddenly appeared that the prime minister Fan Zhen, who was also the envoy of the three divisions, had left his post, and the new envoy of the third division, Gao Hongtai, had already taken office.

According to the convention, when the new top boss arrives, Li Zhongyi, a middle-level cadre, should be present to greet him, no matter how busy he is.

However, Li Zhongyi did not hear the slightest rumor beforehand. It's okay for others, Li Zhongyi's direct boss, Sun Daqing, the salt and iron envoy, why didn't he send someone to report to Li Zhongyi?

Li Zhongyi suffered a dumb loss, and he couldn't find someone to reason, so he naturally had to make a small note to Sun Daqing in his heart.

The aftermath of this incident was still rippling, and after lunch that day, Li Zhongyi was suddenly found by Sun Daqing, the salt and iron envoy.

When Sun Daqing saw Li Zhongyi, he didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out an official document and handed it to Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi took the official document and looked at it, but it was the production order issued by Gao Hongtai, the new third envoy.

Fan Qian's instructions were very short, but the weight was not light, and he asked the arrow-making workshop to which the three divisions belonged to speed up the progress of production, so as to make at least 700,000 qualified feather arrows within two months.

Sun Daqing sighed, shook his head, and said: "No blame, let's talk from the heart, don't say 700,000 arrows, even if it's 300,000, I don't have a bottom in my heart." However, since Gao Gong is a new officer, he naturally refuses to lose his prestige, and the official document has been issued, and he must do it by all means. ”

Li Zhongyi has been to the arrow-making workshop several times, and there are more than 800 craftsmen there, which is indeed quite a lot. However, due to the problem of strict production process, a craftsman needs to complete the entire process of making arrows by himself from beginning to end. How can efficiency be improved?

Sun Daqing's meaning is very clear, and he wants Li Zhongyi, the deputy salt and iron envoy in charge of the arrow workshop, to push back Gao Hongtai's production instructions.

Gao Hongtai suddenly increased the production index of bows and arrows, no matter how reasonable it was, it must have cooperated with Chai Rong's Northern Expedition plan. Li Zhongyi will only openly oppose it if his brain is in water.

"Sun Gong, not long after I first arrived, I am not particularly familiar with the various situations, so I don't know much about the production capacity of the arrow workshop." Li Zhongyi is telling the truth. Even if Sun Daqing was unhappy, he had nothing to say.

Sun Daqing also guessed that Li Zhongyi would dodge this task, but Gao Hongtai was the new third envoy and held great power. How dare he offend lightly?

"No blame, why don't you and I go to Gao Gong together and make an explanation?" Sun Daqing naturally didn't want to stand up to Gao Hongtai's unreasonable demands alone, so he had to drag Li Zhongyi, the deputy envoy who should be in charge, into his back together.

Li Zhongyi thought to himself, you take advantage of the fat shortage of the money, and the unlucky things will drag on the water, do you do this?

"Sun Gong. You have been in office for a long time, and you know very well the ability of the arrow-building workshop, and you have just arrived in the next year. My eyes were black, and I didn't even know which way to open the door. "The more Sun Daqing demands, the more suspicious Li Zhongyi becomes, and if he doesn't push it out, there will be ghosts.

Such an outrageous thing was born when Li Zhongyi was on vacation to work, if there is no insider in it. That's called a ghost.

"Sun Gong, the lower official has met the high envoy. How so? Li Zhongyi used Tai Chi tricks and deliberately pretended to be stupid to the end.

Although Li Zhongyi didn't know what mystery was hidden here. However, with the current state of production of the arrow-making workshop, it is impossible to make 700,000 arrows in two months, even 200,000.

Because, in the month when the arrow workshop was the most, only 100,000 arrows were made, and the production efficiency was low, which was fingerpointing.

"Okay then, I'll tell Sù Gao Gong, there is nothing the arrow workshop can do." Sun Daqing sighed, his face darkened and he stopped talking.

Arrowmaking can't do anything? Isn't this an incompetent accusation to his face?

It seems that after the new chief of the Sansi Yamen, Sun Daqing also showed his true face!

Impotent? Lao Tzu is incompetent, you have the final say?

Li Zhongyi was not angry at all, but his mind was unusually calm, and the more the enemy pressed him, which showed that the inside story was not simple.

It's not good, this Sun Daqing is Zhang Yongde or Li Chongjin, and the eyeliner buried in the yamen of the three divisions is not without this possibility.

"Please ask Sun Gong to return to the senior envoy, just say that the lower official has just taken office, and he is very ignorant of the situation of the arrow workshop, please forgive the lower official for not being able to do anything about it." Li Zhongyi took advantage of Sun Daqing's words to return the four words of powerlessness untouched.

There are only huge risks, but nothing good, Li Zhongyi would rather admit that he is incompetent, and it is impossible to drill into the trap.

Blind recklessness is the patent of the infantile patient, and Li Zhongyi will not accompany him!

Li Zhongyi calculated very clearly, the process of making arrows was extremely complicated, and the power of people, property and property was not in his hands.

Whether it is iron, arrow wood, or feathers, if there is a problem in any aspect, Li Zhongyi will fall headlong into the unfathomable abyss, and he can't tell if he has a mouth.

Sun Daqing looked at Li Zhongyi deeply, he thought to himself, this guy is not like what the man said, arrogant to the point of being incredibly arrogant?

Two days later, Li Zhongyi and Sun Daqing were called to Gao Hongtai's official hall together, and Gao Hongtai's attitude was unusually kind. not only rewarded the seat, but also ordered the little official to serve tea.

Gao Hongtai smiled and said: "No blame, the old man has just taken office, he doesn't know the details, and he was almost blinded by the villain, don't blame you." ”

The top boss was so polite, and the alarm in Li Zhongyi's heart immediately sounded. Based on his experience in mixing officialdom, when your boss talks to you, it is either a good thing for promotion or a bad thing that is difficult to predict, especially the latter.

"Gao Gong, you are serious, you are all incompetent, so you have to worry about it." Li Zhongyi put on a humble attitude, wanting to see what tricks Gao Hongtai was going to play?

"Hey, no blame brother, the old man knows that you are a capable official, whether it is buying grain or running a market, you have solved the urgent needs of the imperial court." Gao Hongtai played haha and praised Li Zhongyi vigorously.

Li Zhongyi's attitude is very upright, the soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, the good words are said first, and Gao Hongtai is watching his cards.

The three of them chatted for a while, Gao Hongtai stroked his beard and asked Li Zhongyi with a smile: "I don't know how many arrows the arrow workshop can make every month?" ”

Li Zhongyi's heart immediately sank, he was just a deputy envoy of salt and iron. Gao Hongtai didn't ask Sun Daqing, the envoy, but came to ask him about this deputy, which is not in line with the logic of officialdom?

"Back to Gao Gong's words, Xia Guan has just taken office, and the situation of the arrow workshop. It's still very unfamiliar, and I really don't dare to say it. On the premise of not knowing the situation, Li Zhongyi simply retreated as advance, he wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Gao Hongtai's gourd?

Sun Daqing saw Gao Hongtai's gaze glancing over, and quickly got up and clasped his fists and said, "If you go back to Gao Gong, the arrow workshop is under normal circumstances." You can make about 11 or 20,000 feathered arrows. ”

Li Zhongyi sat with his eyes and nose and nose and heart, but he was thinking in his heart, Sun Daqing's answer is very close to the current production capacity of the arrow workshop, can it be. Did he just think of the wrong direction?

"Well, before the old man took office, Wang Xianggong once said in advance that the manufacturing of feather arrows must be accelerated and hoarded in large quantities." Gao Hongtai picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked at Li Zhongyi's expression by the way.

Gao Hongtai then said: "Although the old man doesn't know how to fight, he has heard it said. When facing the enemy, the consumption of feather arrows is extremely huge, and hundreds of thousands of feather arrows can often be used in a single battle. ”

Sun Daqing accompanied the smiling face. echoed and said: "What Gao Gong said is very true, and he is worthy of being an important minister of the imperial court. ”

Maybe it's because Sun Daqing's sycophant is very comfortable, Gao Hongtai stroked his beard, waved his hand and smiled: "The old man has never led troops to fight, but I just heard people talk about some wars." ”

Li Zhongyi watched the close interaction between Gao and Sun silently. Since Gao Hongtai has found him, he will definitely make things clear. He wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Eleven or twenty thousand arrows, it's really a little less. In the opinion of the old man. Why don't you set it at 150,000 feathered arrows? Gao Hongtai said very lightly, and seemed to be negotiating, but in fact, in his status as an important minister, this was already an order.

Sun Daqing hesitated for a moment, but had to bite the bullet and say, "The next official will receive the order." ”

"Blameless, what do you see?" Gao Hongtai didn't see Li Zhongyi say anything, so he turned his face sideways and looked at him with a smile.

Li Zhongyi vaguely felt that this matter was not simple, but the production task assigned by Gao Hongtai was no longer as outrageous as last time, and it was even very reasonable.

Sun Daqing, the envoy, agreed, and Li Zhongyi really had no reason to oppose it in person, otherwise, the lawsuit would be in front of Chai Rong, and Li Zhongyi would not be reasonable at all.

In this way, the hat of incompetence and fear will definitely be buckled on his head.

"Gao Gong, Sun Envoy is very familiar with the situation, since he thinks it can be completed, Xia Guan feels that Sun Envoy must be sure." Li Zhongyi deliberately didn't say it to death, but pushed it on Sun Daqing's body.

Gao Hongtai touched his beard's right hand, stiffened halfway, although it was very brief, but Li Zhongyi still caught this detail in time.

"Well, the Salt and Iron Division has a lot of affairs, and there is no blame, since you are the deputy envoy, it seems that you have the unshirkable responsibility to worry about the imperial court." The moment Gao Hongtai's hand left his beard, he suddenly made a decision, "No blame, the old man thinks that it will be okay for you to be responsible for supervising the manufacture of 50,000 feather arrows." ”

Li Zhongyi already understood in his heart that there must be a ghost in this matter, but this Gao Hongtai was unusually cunning, and what he said was reasonable, so that he could not refute it publicly.

Sun Daqing, the main envoy, is responsible for the manufacture of 100,000 feather arrows, and he, Li Zhongyi, the deputy envoy, only undertakes half of the production tasks.

Gao Hongtai's arrangement is reasonable, even if it is placed in front of Chai Rong, it is completely reasonable, and no one will say that Gao Hongtai is unfair.

"Hehe, the old man has reported this matter to the ministers in the political hall. This is a hall, no blame, you can take it and see it. Gao Hongtai quietly picked up an official document on jute paper from the table and handed it to Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi took the hall note and looked at it, which not only had the signature of Prime Minister Wang Pu, and the countersignature of Prime Minister Li Gu, but also stamped with the red "Seal under the Door of Zhongshu".

Needless to say, this is the official hall of the political affairs hall of the Eight Classics, which means that Li Zhongyi has been forced into a corner.

In addition to being amazed, Li Zhongyi's heart was more of a praise for Gao Hongtai's old and spicy behavior and thoughtful planning.

This surname is high, and it is more than ten times more powerful than Zan Jurun's pseudo-Taoism! (To be continued)
