Qing'er grew up in Zhongfu since she was a child, and what she faces every day is nothing more than Zhongyi and Zhongfu's maids, with simple interpersonal relationships, she has never seen the sinister world outside, and her mind is pure to the extreme.

She has no scheming, and she speaks a little openly, but she is also telling the truth.

Of course, except for some little girls who don't know how to talk nonsense.

The county lord of Anyang was pierced through the glass heart by Qing'er, and left in a negative mood, the master and servant looked at each other, Tang Ning patted her head and said: "You can't say it so bluntly in the future, even if you tell the truth, you know?" ”

Qing'er nodded and said cutely, "Qing'er knows." ”

Tang Ning kept his distance from the county lord of Anyang, not only because he didn't like such occasions, he was now a servant of the ministry, and he was in the court, and he didn't do things as freely as before.

The students in the Gyeonggi area will occupy a large part of the imperial court in the future, and as a servant of the ministry, it is naturally not appropriate to meet them before the imperial examination.

After all, his servant is different from the previous servant, he is the second-in-command of the official department who really holds real power, and he cares more about some malicious rumors than before.

There are six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and Tang Ning has already completed five departments, and only the last ministry is missing, and he can complete his merits.

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Industry is the one with the lowest right to speak, and above the court, the status of the Ministry of Industry is even inferior to that of a squire in the Ministry of Household Officials.

Although the Ministry of Industry does not have a high right to speak, and it is a thankless job, there is one thing that the other five departments cannot match.

That is, the Ministry of Industry has sufficient oil and water, and the construction of palaces, the maintenance of city walls, the excavation of canals, the construction of roads, and the development of various mineral deposits are all under the management of the Ministry of Industry.

Although the Ministry of Household is in charge of the state treasury, it only has the right to dispatch and does not have the right to use, and the Ministry of Industry is different, these funds are allocated by the Ministry of Industry, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry want to do something in it, which is naturally simple.

"Your Excellency greets your ......"

When Tang Ning arrived at the Ministry of Industry, the officials of the Ministry of Industry stood at the gate of the yamen and warmly greeted his arrival.

The Ministry of Industry has four divisions, namely the Ministry of Industry, the Tuntian Division, the Yu Division, and the Water Division.

Tang Ning came to the Ministry of Industry for the first time today, but he did not see the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and the Ministry of Industry Squire.

He looked at Gongbu Langzhong and asked, "What about the two adults, Shangshu and Shilang?" ”

Gongbu Langzhong glanced at him, and muttered to himself in his heart, why aren't Lord Shangshu and Lord Shilang in the Ministry of Industry today, this Lord Tang really doesn't count in his heart?

He came all the way from the sixth department, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood behind him, his official position was getting higher and higher, and when he was still in charge, he was able to restrain the waiter, the official to the waiter, and even Feng Xiang packed up and went back to his hometown.

He looked at Tang Ning and said with a smile: "Lord Shilang went to the north a few days ago to supervise the construction of the post road, and it will take a few months to come back, Lord Shangshu is ill and recuperating at home, and he is not in Ya......men today."

In this way, he is the only one in charge of the Ministry of Industry.

What made Tang Ning happy was that Shangshu and Shilang of the Ministry of Industry were not in the yamen for a reason, not because they were hiding from him, the broom star, those people were not clean under their buttocks, and they didn't find the reason from themselves, but blamed him, it was simply a bad view, and the court didn't need them who didn't have a right ass.

The absence of the waiter of the Ministry of Works means that in the past few months, Tang Ning can occupy a duty room by himself, and it should be quieter.

After entering the Ministry of Industry, all the officials went back to their own offices, and Tang Ning turned his head to look at the person behind him and said, "Lord Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Zhang Hao of the Ministry of Water looked at him, his face was a little complicated, and he arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Tang." ”

Three years ago in Lingzhou, it was also at this time that he, as the examiner of the Lingzhou State Examination, discovered the difference between Tang Ning and the other candidates in terms of strategy, and tried his best to distinguish his test paper from the rest of the candidates, so as to avoid his test paper being judged as a failed paper.

At that time, one of them was Langzhong of the Ministry of Water, and the other was just a student from a remote state and county, Zhang Hao admired him very much, and even had the intention of absorbing him into the Ministry of Water.

Then three years later, he was already a third-rank official, and he appeared in the Ministry of Industry for the first time, and was his immediate boss.

Three years is not a long time, in these three years, he has remained motionless in the position of Mizubu Langzhong, and the students of the remote state capital have soared to the sky......

Tang Ning had heard of Zhang Hao's name before, although his official position was not high, his reputation in the court was not small.

The main reason is that he is a straight-minded person, does not know how to beat around the bush, often quarrels with others because of different political views, and has a thick neck, and there are few officials in the DPRK and China who treat him well.

Because of this, he has been in the position of Mizube Langzhong for more than ten years. Normally, with his qualifications, he would have been able to climb a few more levels.

However, it is precisely because of his original insistence that Tang Ning's test paper can stand out in the state examination, if there is no Zhang Hao, maybe his road to the imperial examination will come to an end when he is in Lingzhou.

To a certain extent, Zhang Hao in the Ministry of Water has the grace of knowing him.

"You're welcome, Lord Zhang." Tang Ning smiled and said, "If it wasn't for Lord Zhang's support, how could there be today's Tang Ning?" ”

Zhang Hao said with a solemn face: "Lord Tang's words are serious, Zhang just did what Zhang should do, and Lord Tang can get to this point today because of Lord Tang's talent and hard work......"

Zhang Hao is really a serious and upright person, such a person can be a good official, but he can rarely be a big official.

His personality and handling have blocked his path to promotion.

There are many people like Zhang Hao in the officialdom, but most of them finally succumbed to reality.

Tang Ning is a servant of the Ministry of Officials and a substitute of the Ministry of Works, although he cannot change the rules of officialdom on a large scale, he can also uphold justice on a small scale.

Ministry of Engineering, another duty room.

The four Lang Zhong gathered together, chatted quietly, and the focus of the discussion was naturally this new squire.

Tuntian Shilang said: "Cui Shilang heard that Lord Tang was coming, so he robbed Zhang Langzhong of the errand that should have been Zhang Langzhong, and went to the northwest overnight, which was a little too decisive. ”

Gongbu Langzhong said: "Cui Shilang is afraid that Lord Tang is also understandable, why is it that even Wu Shangshu is sick at home, is Lord Wu also afraid?" ”

"Who is not afraid of broom stars?" Yu Bu Langzhong shook his head and said: "Even Feng Xiang is in his hands, no matter how big Wu Shangshu's official position is, is it bigger than Feng Xiang?" ”

Zhang Hao looked at them and said, "Let's not talk about you behind your back, this is not a gentleman's doing......"

Tun Tian Langzhong looked at him, shook his head, and said: "A few of us are not like Lord Zhang, we have the grace of knowing Lord Tang, he will not defeat you, so naturally you have to be more careful." ”

Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Industry thought for a while and said: "Yes, Lord Zhang is kind to Lord Tang, this time Lord Tang came to the Ministry of Industry, and he himself is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, isn't Lord Zhang going to get out of the way?" ”

Tuntian Langzhong pursed his lips and said: "Lord Zhang can only be a waiter if he is promoted again, Cui Shilang has already gone to the northwest, do you mean, Tang Daren is in the ministry, he can take down Cui Shilang who is far away in the northwest and help Zhang Lang to go up?" ”

"Not necessarily." Langzhong looked at him and said, "Don't forget, a few days ago, he was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't pull Feng Xiang off the horse. ”

Tun Tian Langzhong thought for a while, and whispered: "He won't be so ruthless......
