It's a pity that no, not only not, but a large number of long-term workers who rushed to Jingxi earlier have also returned.

There are only a few coal kilns left in Jingxi where the Daming steam engine is placed, and the 'rumbling' sound all day long is a bluff at first glance.

Those cement Zhuangzi, who claimed to be coal kiln factories, were extremely tightly defended, and Li Lusheng bought several brocade guards without getting in, so he could only get the information he wanted from other places.

Number of long-term workers.

There is no way to find someone to personally survey the number of long-term workers, but it doesn't matter, Li Lusheng is a flexible person, from the amount of grain consumed by a coal kiln factory every day, he still got the amount he wanted.

There are more than 100 long-term workers in one coal kiln factory, and less than 5,000 long-term workers in 40 coal kiln factories.

Not to mention the number of 100,000, it is still half of the 10,000, and Li Lusheng is completely relieved.

The Zhenyuan Mining Bureau reduced a lot of coal mules and horses in the heavy snow season, and it became a natural thing for Li Lusheng, and everything was under Li Lusheng's control.

The overall situation of calculating Zhu Shun has ended, and the next thing is waiting for the end.

Li Lusheng is not a person who gets carried away, he returned to the house from the Chalou banquet and began to pave the way for himself to enter the court cabinet.

In the road that Li Lusheng planned for himself, he first went to a certain department to accumulate qualifications, and at most half a year, he had to use the influence of Lao Zaifu Feng Quan in the Donglin Party and the financial resources of the five major Jin merchants to become the secretary of Dali Temple.

According to the common sense that ordinary officials enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, they generally become a certain ministry attendant from a certain minister, from a servant to a scholar, and then enter the cabinet to become the cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Lusheng is not ready to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister according to this common sense, because he still needs to be a scholar for a few years in the middle as a transition, and he can completely avoid this transition when he becomes the secretary of Dali Temple.

Dali Siqing and a squire are both positive three products, but the squire is only a deputy, and he has never surpassed Shangshu to become a precedent for the cabinet to become a minister.

Dali Siqing is different, he is the highest official in charge of Daming Prison.

As long as it works properly, it is not a problem to enter the cabinet.

It's easy to solve it, but it's a little difficult to squeeze out the current Dali Siqing and become a trusted Dali Siqing.

Officialdom is afraid of a procrastination, and the officials who can sit in Dali Temple are not ordinary people, and they are well versed in the prevarication of officialdom.

If Li Lusheng wanted to take the official hat of Dali Siqing as soon as possible, he could only make an exchange of authority, so he wrote a letter and handed it to the new housekeeper and asked him to send it to Dali Siqing's mansion.

Dali Temple Siqing is also a Xuanhe's central minister in the capital, and even a book does not dare to say that let a subordinate take a deputy letter and call for Dali Siqing to visit each other's homes like a watchdog.

Li Lusheng is just a degraded official who is idle at home, relying on the power of the old Zaifu Feng Quan, he actually asked a Dali temple to visit.

Dali Siqing sat on the poplar official hat chair in the lobby and looked at the vice qi in his hand, and there was no emotional change on his face, but his action of picking up the ordinary fine porcelain teacup and drinking tea made the master standing on the side see the anger in the master's heart.

The master has followed Dali Siqing for more than 20 years, and followed the master from a small nine-grade petty official to the official position of Dali Siqing step by step.

After getting along for so many years, I know very well one of the habits of the master, but whenever he drinks tea after reading the letter, he is extremely angry when he explains the content of the letter.

At the beginning, the second young master accepted a female jinshi of the flower list as a concubine, and the master sat on the poplar official hat chair in the lobby and drank a cup of tea quietly.

The second son of the dignified Dali Siqing actually accepted a prostitute as a concubine, and it was too insulting to spread it, and he, the Dali Siqing, would also become a laughing stock in the officialdom.

As a result, the day before the female jinshi of Huabang entered the door, several death row prisoners in the prison of Dali Temple escaped, saying that they wanted to be happy before they died, and tortured the female jinshi to death.

There are two doubts about this matter, how did several death row prisoners escape from the well-guarded Dali Temple prison, where did the death row prisoners who did not have silver get 1,000 taels of silver, and bought the bustard to be able to contact the female jinshi the day before the female jinshi got married.

Everyone else is speculating, but the master understands what is going on, because he handled it himself.

Dali Siqing handed over the deputy qi in his hand to the master: "Wen Yuan, you see what the purpose of this celebrity in the capital is." ”

The master respectfully took the deputy qi, took a quick look, and suddenly picked up the fine porcelain teacup in his hand and smashed it on the ground with a 'snap', and said angrily: "It's too much to deceive people!" ”

The master seems to be angry, but he is actually quite calm in his heart, but at this time he needs to show his anger.

Dali Siqing handed over the teacup in his hand: "It's all an old person, where did you get so angry, drink tea to reduce the fire." ”

The master still looked angry, gritted his teeth and took the teacup, and poured it down: "The student will meet this Li Lusheng." ”

Dali Siqing stopped the master who got up and was about to walk out, shook his head and smiled: "You, after so many years, you are still so impulsive." ”

Seeing his master shaking his head and laughing at this time, the master felt a little chill in his heart, it seems that the master is not only angry, but this anger is even worse than when the second young master accepted a prostitute as a concubine.

The master sat back angrily, pretending to be contemplative, pretending to have a cup of tea, and suddenly said: "Li Lusheng is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is definitely the best in terms of scheming among the many party members in the Donglin Party. ”

"He won't fail to understand the consequences of this letter, and if he dares to do so, he must have his deep meaning."

Dali Siqing restrained his smile and said calmly: "Yes, with Brother Li's scheming, the city government will not make such a mistake, and increase his prestige among the Donglin Party members at the cost of offending his own officials." ”

Brother Li? At this time, you can still shout Brother Li, this scheming city government is afraid that it is no worse than Li Lusheng.

The master sighed in his heart and continued: "At the level of the master, he will not easily make enemies, but will only try to release goodwill and make friends. ”

"Li Lusheng must not be for prestige, after all, he is already one of Lao Zaifu's valued protégés, and now because of the firewood salary, the three major Jin merchants have inherited his great favor."

"As long as Haosheng manages this network, it is not impossible to become a cabinet minister."

The last sentence of the master was just a joke, but the cabinet Zaifu has the power to veto the emperor's vote, where is it so easy to sit on.

It's just that this joke made Dali Siqing frown and stop talking.

Seeing the old man's frowning expression, the smile on his face disappeared, and he also frowned.

It's really possible.
