The Smelting Bureau announced the suspension of work, and the impact of this news was even more shocking than that of "King Su is trapped in the Zongfu".

You must know that today's Metallurgical Bureau is no longer the bottom of the original department, and is responsible for the construction of Bolangsha, the construction of Xiangfu Port, as well as the shipbuilding for the Ministry of Households, assisting the Ordnance Casting Bureau to build those weapons, research and development of new weapons, armor, war weapons, etc., as if it has become a huge organization with thousands of craftsmen and officials.

As soon as the Smelting Bureau announced the suspension of work, the most anxious thing was the household, after all, with the opening of the Sanchuan trade line, the profit of the household department doubled compared with previous years?

After tasting the sweetness, on the one hand, the Ministry of Household placed a huge order with the Bureau of Metallurgy and Construction to build hundreds of transport ships, and on the other hand, reached an agreement with the Ministry of Industry to pay the price of a huge appropriation, asking the Ministry of Industry to dig and widen several major currents in the Yingshui waters.

If nothing goes wrong, the next step of the household department plan is to use water transportation to transport the specialties of Sanchuan to all parts of Wei by water, and even the surplus materials can be traded with the allied Qi and Lu states, and even with the Chu state of the temporary truce.

Therefore, Tobe needs a large number of ships.

However, the Smelting Bureau suddenly announced the temporary suspension of all projects, which was like a slap in the face to the household officials who rolled up their sleeves and were ready to do a big job, and made them dizzy.

No, after hearing the news, Li Liang, the head of the household department, immediately felt a strong feeling of tightness in his chest, and immediately summoned the left and right attendants and the divisions of the various departments to hold a meeting in the secret room.

"What should I do?" Looking at the subordinates present, Li Liang, the head of the household, asked with a headache.

In the secret room, the household officials glanced at each other, and then, Yan Zheng, the head of the department, shook his head and said lightly: "It's too coincidental...... King Su here is trapped in the Zongfu, and Wang Fu of the Smelting Bureau over there announced a temporary suspension of work on the grounds that the Smelting Bureau is short of money......"

"You can't say that." Cui Can, the left waiter, said with a smile: "The Smelting Bureau is short of money, this is not surprising, after all, in the past, all the expenses of the Smelting Bureau were borne by His Royal Highness King Su, and for this reason, His Royal Highness King Su has owed millions of taels of money to my household......"

When they heard this, the household officials present had strange expressions.

Because they have never heard of a royal child who owes such a huge debt to the household for the sake of national construction.

"King Su is too stubborn, too domineering, too ...... It's angry. ”

Duzhi Shilang He Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head, but there was no trace of annoyance in his eyes, only admiration and helplessness.

Today's household department has been dealing with Su Wang Hongrun, which makes the officials of the household department gradually realize that Su Wang Hongrun is really an extremely assertive and assertive person, but also a very, very stubborn and stubborn person.

For example, in the case of the "Sanchuan Commemorative Coin", the Ministry of Tobu Gold, which was responsible for minting domestic copper coins at the time, was verbally vetoed.

Because Cai Lu felt that the cost of minting those exquisite coins according to the requirements of King Su Hongrun was too high, but the effect was too low, and it was a bit of grandstanding.

However, King Su Hongrun vetoed Cai Lu's veto, and clearly informed the household department by letter: This king said that if he wants to cast, he must cast!

The household department can't help it, so he said, okay, you can build it, but we won't pay this money.

Then King Su Hongrun said, this king bears it himself!

As a result, in just ten days, the "Sanchuan Commemorative Coins" were quickly released, and the Smelting Bureau cast the mold in accordance with the orders of Suwang Hongrun without complaint, and Suwang Hongrun owed a debt to the household for this.

Su Wang Hongrun is such a stubborn, domineering, and stubborn person, even if he is rich, he is still very angry under the premise that he already owes a lot of debts to the household department.

Not to mention, this matter has long become one of the topics of conversation within the household department.

"Xia Guan doesn't think that the Smelting Bureau is really short of money......" Cai Lu, the golden department secretary, opened his mouth at this time, shook his head and said.

As soon as the words fell, Duzhi Shilang He Yang grinned and said: "It's easy to test the truth of this matter, anyway, the income and expenditure of my household department are generous, and I borrow a huge amount of money to the Smelting Bureau, if Wang Fu is full of smiles, it is really short of money, if Wang Fu glares at us and hates us so much, it is fake......"

Hearing this, the secret room was silent, and everyone turned their heads and looked at Duzhi Shilang He Yang intently, and stopped talking a few times, with extremely strange expressions.

Seeing this, Duzhi Shilang He Yang sneered and said: "The lower official is just joking, why bother? ”

"It's not funny." Kurabe Shilang Kuang Ke glanced at He Yang, looking a little displeased.

It is no wonder that, after all, the smelting bureau has stopped working, and the most affected is the warehouse department responsible for domestic freight and storage, after all, the smelting bureau is building those ships, which are rationed to the warehouse.

It is no exaggeration to say that the person who is in the worst mood at the moment is probably this Kuang Ke Kuang Shilang official.

But secondly, it is He Yang's degree branch, and the gold department, which is responsible for minting coins and coordinating the domestic market price, actually has little impact.

Shaking his head, Shangshu Li Liang said helplessly: "Okay, okay, this mansion invites all of you to come to discuss, not to quarrel, but to hope to come up with a countermeasure." …… What do you think about this? ”

Cui Can, the left attendant, pondered for a moment and said: "Wang Fu's move is mostly to rescue King Su, if my household destroys it and offends Wang Fu, it is tantamount to offending King Su." But there is no need for my household department to help King Su and offend the Zongfu, we just need to push the boat down the river......"

"How do you push a boat down the river?" Li Liang asked.

Hearing this, Cui Can turned his head to look at He Yang, the Duzhi Division, and asked, "Lord He, how is the situation of my household branch recently?" ”

Hearing this, He Yang, Duzhi Shilang, nodded and said, "It's okay." Although I bought a lot of Sanchuan goods, because the warehouse quickly sold them in various places, it was not impossible to make ends meet, and there was still a sum of money ......"

"Claiming to the outside world that 'making ends meet' has been solved." Cui Can said lightly.

Shangshu Li Liang glanced at each other with all the officials present and nodded in unison.

"Good!"

On the same day, when the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry jointly submitted a petition to the Vertical Arch Palace, asking Wei Tianzi to intervene in the matter of "King Su being trapped in the Zongfu", there was also a suspicion in the court that "why did the Ministry of Household not fund the Smelting Bureau".

In this regard, the Ministry of Household said that they had recently purchased a large number of special products in Sanchuan, and these goods had not yet been sold and exchanged for money, leaving the treasury empty and unable to support the Smelting Bureau.

And after hearing these words, the wise and insightful among the courtiers shut their mouths and stopped talking.

Obviously, the household department does not want to get involved in this matter.

Lack of money? Empty treasury? Are you kidding! Your household department has just paid a huge amount of money to ask the Ministry of Industry to dig deep and widen the river!

However, unexpectedly, the Vertical Arch Hall accepted the joint request of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households, and sent the president of the Three Guards Army to lead Li Cheng to the Zongfu, hoping to resolve the matter as soon as possible, so that King Su Hongrun could return to the Smelting Bureau, so as not to cause greater losses due to the suspension of work.

So, the courtiers understood.

It is undeniable that when the situation turned into such a situation, the Zongfu had begun to have some headaches.

Not to mention that Wei Tianzi ordered Li Cheng, the president of the Three Guards, to personally supervise this matter.

Don't look at Li Cheng, who was also born in Zongwei, and was also raised by the Zongfu and taught all his skills, but as the so-called married daughter spilled the water, this Zongwei who went out of the Zongfu will only be loyal to their current object, just like Li Cheng's allegiance to Wei Tianzi and Shen Yu's allegiance to Zhao Hongrun.

Because that's how the sect has taught these sect guards since childhood.

On the same day, Zhao Hongrun's third uncle, cousin uncle, and junior uncle met with Li Cheng in the hall.

Since these elders of Zhao Hongrun were all big figures who held power in the Zongfu when Li Chenggui was in the Zongfu, even though Li Chenggui was the president of the Three Guards Army and could be called the first person in the military forces of the Great Wei, he had to respect him.

"The three elders will be entrusted by His Majesty to come and supervise this matter. …… I believe that several elders have also heard about all kinds of rumors outside, and His Majesty hopes that the Zongfu will negotiate this matter as soon as possible. ”

Due to the evolution of the situation, Wei Tianzi also began to put pressure on the Zongfu along the way, and the reason was so righteous that people couldn't find fault with it: Your Zongfu detained my son, causing my son to be unable to find a way to earn money to support the Metallurgical Bureau, and now the Metallurgical Bureau has to stop work because of lack of money, implicating the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry, causing the imperial court to suffer huge losses, how long do you want to delay? How much more do you want the imperial court to suffer?

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun's third uncle, cousin uncle, and younger uncle were speechless.

Although no one is a fool, the other party is full of reason and righteousness, even if Zhao Hongrun's third uncle knows what is going on, it is not easy to say it directly.

After all, although the Zongfu can sometimes even limit the imperial power, after all, it cannot really override the imperial power and the imperial court.

"Solve it as soon as possible...... That kid is so stubborn, how easy is it to say that?'

The third uncle frowned, very unhappy in his heart.

But now, there is nothing he can do, after all, if this matter continues to make trouble, even if he is the previous Zongzheng of the sect, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover the bad influence.

In desperation, the third uncle, the cousin uncle, and the younger uncle led Li Cheng to the meditation room.

"Stand down."

Holding the candlestick, with the help of the light of the candle, he walked into the stuffy meditation room, and the third uncle waved his hand to send away the Zong Wei Yu Lin Lang who was standing next to Zhao Hongrun.

Then, he looked intently at Zhao Hongrun, who was sitting on the mattress.

For the whole seventeen days, Zhao Hongrun stayed in this hot and stuffy meditation room for the whole seventeen days.

This willpower, even the third uncle has to look at this son with admiration.

Sighing silently, the third uncle said in a deep voice: "Hongrun, let's talk about it." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's closed eyes slowly opened.

There was no peace in his eyes after seventeen days of self-cultivation, but seemed to be filled with endless anger.

"It's called King Su!"

He said word for word. (To be continued.) )
