"Tuk-tuk."

After coming to the office of Jucheng Wangfu, Zongwei Shen Yu knocked on the door at the signal of Zhao Hongrun.

Immediately, the voice of Cheng Wangfu of the Smelting Bureau came from inside the house: "Please enter." ”

Compared with years ago, Wang Fu, the master of the Smelting Bureau, has gradually become a little majestic and full of temperament, where is it still like Lord Shilang who was scolded by Zheng Jin, an official of the Military Casting Bureau.

Zhao Hongrun pushed the door and walked in.

At the same time, Wang Fu of the Smelting Bureau was sitting behind the desk in the room, holding a pen in his hand, as if he was writing something.

When he saw Zhao Hongrun push the door in, Wang Fu was shocked, hurriedly dropped his pen, got up and walked quickly to Zhao Hongrun, and bowed his hand: "Your majesty will meet His Royal Highness King Su and congratulate His Royal Highness King Su on getting out of trouble." ”

"It seems that the incident in the sect is really known to everyone......

Zhao Hongrun muttered to himself, waved his hand casually, and said, "No courtesy." ”

After that, he glanced around, then pointed to a corner of the room, frowned and asked, "Where is the table here?" And those scribes, where have they gone? ”

Wang Fu shrank his head and said cautiously, "I've moved to the next room...... More than a dozen people crammed into one room, this is inevitable...... ......"

『……』

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wang Fu lightly, and asked noncommittally: "The next room, isn't it the place where Chen (Tang) Langguan works?" ”

Wang Fu licked his lips, and while secretly looking at Zhao Hongrun's face, he said cautiously: "Chen Langguan...... Moved somewhere else. ”

"Where?"

"Uh...... A few years ago, several new big houses were built in the department...... "Feeling that Zhao Hongrun's eyes were getting colder and colder, cold sweat broke out on Wang Fu's forehead.

"......" Zhao Hongrun shook his head slightly.

I think that at the beginning, when the smelting bureau was poor, it was often more than a dozen people crammed into a room to work.

Take Zhao Hongrun's room as an example, in fact, the inner room is where he works, and as for the outhouse, there are two long tables, where more than a dozen scribes work, so that Zhao Hongrun's design sketches can be drawn into drawings in a more standardized and standard manner at any time, and finally study together how to design the weapons on this drawing better.

For example, the catapults and repeaters that shone in the Battle of Sanchuan were born in an extremely simple environment.

Today, the Smelting Bureau is no longer as embarrassed as it was at the beginning, no, Wang Fu of the Bureau occupied a room alone, the inner room is office, and the outer room seems to be used to entertain guests.

It is undeniable that it has been tainted with some bureaucratic style, and it is no longer the Metallurgical Bureau of the past, but just a pure R&D department.

"Hmph, seats, tea set...... There are a lot of facilities for hospitality. ”

After saying a few words lightly, Zhao Hongrun picked up a ceramic teapot on the table next to him, looked at it for a while, and said indifferently: "It seems that the price is not low...... Newly bought? ”

"Uh, yes, yes......" Wang Fu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Where's that clay teapot?"

"Broken ...... Shattered, accidentally shattered......" Wang Fu licked his dry lips and said cautiously.

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wang Fu when he heard this, and saw a layer of cold sweat on his head, so he said casually: "Spend more energy on the affairs of the department, the 'screws', 'nuts', and other things that this king wants, I still don't have the slightest clue." ”

"Yes, the lower officials must step up this matter......" Wang Fu hurriedly said.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun didn't say anything more.

In fact, he was not unable to understand that Wang Fu used part of it to improve the facilities in the department, after all, the Metallurgical Bureau was no longer as poor as it used to be, and it was not a big deal to spend some money to improve the office houses of the officials.

Who wouldn't want to work in a spacious, comfortable room?

And Zhao Hongrun mentioned it this time, just to knock Wang Fu, lest he use too much money to improve the facilities and buildings in the department, you must know that the money, but he Zhao Hongrun invested in the smelting bureau.

If it is used to build more workshops, hearths, and improve molds, Zhao Hongrun will never feel distressed, but if it is used to make the office rooms of officials blindly enlarge, Zhao Hongrun can not bear it.

Therefore, before leaving the girder, Zhao Hongrun had to knock Wang Fu, after all, in his opinion, Wang Fu, who is now raising his eyebrows, has gradually had some tails upturned because of the gradual rise of the status of the Smelting Bureau.

If you don't knock him before leaving Daliang, and wait a few days for Zhao Hongrun to leave Daliang and rush to Shangshui, who else can cure him in this smelting bureau?

Under Wang Fu's relieved gaze, Zhao Hongrun finally put down the delicate pottery teapot, came to the chair where the former was sitting, and sat down.

After sitting down, Zhao Hongrun found a few pieces of paper spread out on the table, so he picked it up and took a few looks.

What made him happy was that these seemed to be the design drawings of the river port on the other side of Bolangsha, not some random things that he didn't want to see.

"Chen (Tang) Langguan sent it?"

Zhao Hongrun asked casually.

"Yes." Wang Fu arched his hand, and said: "During the construction, Chen Langguan found that the terrain of Bolangsha was inconsistent with our original estimates, so he proposed to change the river port...... As he said, he took two steps closer, pointed to a few places on the drawing, and added: "Mainly here, here, and here, after the copper pile was driven down, the silt under the river was displaced, making the copper pile tilt, and in desperation, Lord Chen had to ask someone to drag the copper pile ashore...... Back and forth several times, but did not wait for the desired effect. ”

Chen Tang is a Lang official of the Smelting Bureau, this person is not as eloquent as Wang Fu, and even a little Muna, and he will stutter when he is nervous, but he is a conscientious and hard-working official, and he is very careful, therefore, Zhao Hongrun ordered Chen Tang to be fully responsible for the ten-year project of Bolangsha River Port.

"If only there was cement......

Zhao Hongrun had a headache.

It is undeniable that if Zhao Hongrun can make cement, the construction time of Bolangsha River Port can be shortened by at least half, but unfortunately, the Metallurgical Bureau has not yet discovered limestone and tuff, the two main raw materials for making cement.

No way, after all, lime ore and tuff are not as conspicuous as iron ore, gold ore, and silver ore after all, so that sometimes some Wei people encounter them, and they will only be regarded as stones with no use value, after all, lime ore and tuff are too brittle, even if they are used as stones, they will be disliked.

"Just according to Chen Tang's meaning."

After carefully looking at the drawings, Zhao Hongrun nodded and said.

When he opened his mouth, Wang Fu dared not comply, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the next official will call someone to inform Chen Langguan later." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded, put the drawings aside, and then looked at Wang Fu and asked, "Wang Fu, this king asks you, a few days ago, the Smelting Bureau announced the suspension of work, what is going on?" ”

Wang Fu was stunned, and then said cautiously: "Xia Guan thought that this move would help His Highness get out of trouble......

He didn't say any more, because he had already learned Zhao Hongrun's attitude towards this, after all, on that day, Zhao Hongrun invited Li Cheng, the president of the Three Guards Army who had gone to visit him, to personally come to the Smelting Bureau and order Wang Fu not to stop the work of the Smelting Bureau.

"Are you giving this king eye medicine?" Zhao Hongrun frowned and said, "Coercing the imperial court, you are really capable!" …… How dare you unite the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry to play the Vertical Arch Palace? ”

Although Wang Fu didn't understand the sentence 'eye medicine', he understood the latter words, and hurriedly explained: "King Su, don't blame, Xia Guan didn't plan to do this, but he just ...... His Majesty secretly released the news that the Zongfu wanted to target His Highness......"

"You'll wait." Zhao Hongrun heard something wrong, and immediately interrupted Wang Fu's words, frowned and asked, "Father secretly released the news?" What do you mean? ”

It's no wonder, after all, Zhao Hongrun was still locked up in the Zongfu at that time, and he didn't know that it was Wei Tianzi who secretly released rumors that the Zongfu wanted to put aside King Su, the biggest hero of this time, for the sake of the Sanchuan matter, and reached a private agreement with the domestic aristocratic forces led by King Chengling and others.

So, Wang Fu told the events of that day back and forth, and finally said: "Therefore, in fact, Your Majesty is not angry that His Royal Highness King Su was detained by the Imperial Palace, but there is no opportunity to intervene, so the move of the lower official is just to push the boat down the river, so that His Majesty has an excuse to interfere in this matter......

"......" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wang Fu in surprise when he heard this, because after thinking about it carefully, he really felt that Wang Fu's words were reasonable.

The most obvious thing is that if it weren't for the holy will of Wei Tianzi, like Li Wei, the secretary of the military department, and Li Liang, the secretary of the household department, they would have taken the risk of boosting the momentum of the smelting bureau?

You must know that Cao Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, doesn't care, because this old man is about to resign from his official position and retire, and he has a good relationship with Zhao Hongrun, even if he takes a risk, it is nothing, but Li Yan, he has not yet resigned and said goodbye to old age, let alone Li Liang, who has only been more than 40 years, and it is the period of great ambitions.

"Who...... Mention yours? Zhao Hongrun frowned and looked at Wang Fu, after all, although Wang Fu can speak well, his intelligence should not be to the point where he can see through this kind of thing at a glance.

"His Royal Highness King Su said this...... Can't it be that the lower officials came up with it themselves? Wang Fu looked embarrassed, but he still took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Hongrun.

It was the letter that Shangshui Churen Jie Ziyu handed to the Smelting Bureau by the hand of a child.

Zhao Hongrun spread out the letter and glanced at it a few times, only to see that the letter analyzed the situation of the day in detail, for example, Wei Tianzi lacked a suitable opportunity to intervene in this matter, and the Smelting Bureau, if it announced the suspension of work under the pretext of "lack of money", so as to coerce the Zongfu, it would not cause criticism, etc., etc.

"This person...... Great eyesight!'

Zhao Hongrun secretly praised, after all, he could swear to guarantee that the rumor was secretly released by his father, Emperor Wei Tianzi, how many people could there be?

Perhaps a few of the government and the opposition would be surprised by the rumor that suddenly spread throughout the city, and even suspicious of Wei Tianzi, but few of them could analyze every sentence like the owner of this letter.

"Who could it be?"

After a few deep glances at the flowing font on the letterhead, Zhao Hongrun secretly kept it in mind on the one hand, and on the other hand, an idea suddenly sprouted in his heart.

He felt compelled to recruit some of his clients, as resourceful as the owner of the letter. (To be continued.) )
