Zheng Jin, an official of the Military Casting Bureau, was beaten up in the Smelting Bureau, and then the craftsmen of the Smelting Bureau were thrown out of the department.

You must know that Zheng Jin's family background is not low, his father's Zheng family, all dynasties have been officials in the court, his father is Zheng Lun, a regular attendant in the court, and his father Zheng Yong has served as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and further forward, there are many people in the Zheng family who have served as the ancestors of Jiuqing, which can be said to be the famous family in the Liang.

And his mother, who is the daughter of Li Jin, the current secretary of the Ministry of War, and the sister of Li Jin, the director of the War Casting Bureau, so when the officials carried the miserable Zheng Jin to the Zheng Mansion, his mother Li was shocked and angry, not only ordered someone to call her husband Zheng Lun, but also invited her father and brother to try to administer justice for her son.

"Daughter, no matter whether Zhao Hongrun is the king of Su or not, he asked someone to beat my son for no reason, what did he do? Father, daughter begs father to ask His Majesty for this matter, and he must let Zhao Hongrun return justice to my son! ”

In Zheng Jin's bedding, his mother Li cried and begged his father Li Fang.

However, before Li Fa could say anything, Li's husband, Zheng Lun, a regular attendant, shouted beside him: "Woman's opinion! …… Do you think that Zhao Hongrun is just an ordinary prince? ”

Li wiped his tears and said indignantly: "The concubine knows that Zhao Hongrun is the hero who repelled the Chu army, so he was crowned the king of Su, but even so, he can't ask someone to beat my son for no reason, is there still a royal law?" ”

"Wang Fa? The other party is a descendant of the Ji clan, and you mention the royal law to him?"

Li Yan, Li Jin, and Zheng Lun glanced at the Li family with strange eyes when they heard this, and immediately, Li Jin, the elder brother of the Li family, said: "Little sister, you take care of Jin'er here first, for the sake of brother, father and brother-in-law, go to the next room to sit down." …… Remember. Don't act rashly about this matter for the time being. ”

Li glanced at the faces of his father, brother and husband, and although he was indignant in his heart, he nodded obediently.

Seeing this, Li Fu, Li Jin, and Zheng Lun came to the next room.

After closing the door, Zheng Lun asked puzzledly: "Brother Jin, why did Jin'er go to the Smelting Bureau today?" ”

Li Jin sighed when he heard this. He said in a deep voice: "Brother-in-law doesn't know, yesterday evening, Cheng Wangfu of the Smelting Bureau sent someone to inform the 24th Division of the Sixth Department of the DPRK and the Central Committee, announcing the termination of the cooperation between the Smelting Bureau and various ministries and departments in the past. …… Yesterday, Wang Fu suddenly called someone to come over to inform our Soldier Casting Bureau, saying that the carriages asked me to wait for me to find a way, if there was no accident. After Jin'er heard about this this morning, she must have brought some people to the Smelting Bureau to inquire about it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Jin said apologetically to his brother-in-law Zheng Lun: "This matter is all to blame for my brother, and I forgot to tell Jin'er about Suwang Hongrun's entry into the smelting bureau, which caused him to suffer this disaster." ”

Zheng Lun shook his head when he heard this, you know, now that his Zheng family is gradually declining. The reason why his son Zheng Jin is working as an errand in the Department of the Military Casting Bureau, which has a lot of oil and water, is because of the support of his father-in-law and his brother-in-law. And, naturally, it's hard to say much.

"So, Jin'er innocently fell into the hands of King Su?"

Hearing Zheng Lun's words, Li Man, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stroked his beard, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Jin'er's fate is not good this time, and it has become the sacrifice of King Su to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys...... Seemingly. After King Su became the head of the Smelting Bureau, the Smelting Bureau is bound to have a big change. ”

Zheng Lun pondered for a moment when he heard this, and asked cautiously: "Can you borrow the ...... from the Zongfu?"

He didn't finish speaking, but I believe that Li Feng and Li Jin will understand what he means.

"Yes, yes, though. This move is tantamount to being an enemy of that King Su......" Li Fu touched his beard, and said with a slight frown: "That King Su Hongrun, the old man has dealt with him twice, although this son is fifteen years old, but in terms of means, he is not inferior to King Yong......"

"What does my father mean, could it be that this matter is not over?" Li Jin said unhappily when he heard this: "Jin'er, he is also a Lang official, and he went to the Smelting Bureau for official business, even if there is a verbal collision, he will not be beaten like that." Recalling that his nephew Zheng Jin was beaten to the ground, his cheeks were red and swollen, and his lips were even redder, Li Jin was really angry.

You must know that although Zheng Jin has an arrogant personality, he is not a straw bag, at least he can do a good job every time on the errand arranged by his uncle Li Jin, not to mention that he knows how to flatter and flatter, so Li Jin loves this nephew very much, even if it is not an exaggeration to say that he regards it as his own.

So much so that at the moment, Zheng Lun, as his biological father, has not said anything, but Li Jin, the uncle, has already been angry in his heart.

"Don't you understand?" Seeing that his son was angry, Li Fu said angrily: "King Su's move is not aimed at Jin'er, he wants to use Jin'er to warn the six departments and twenty-four divisions of the central government, and tell those officials in the central government that at present, he Suwang Hongrun is in charge of the smelting bureau, if anyone dares to make a mistake, this is the end!" …… If you want to take revenge on King Su, you can report this matter to the Zongfu now, and I believe that the people of the Zongfu will handle this matter impartially. However, have you thought about it, what about waiting for King Su to come out of the sect's mansion? ”

“……”

Li Yan stroked his beard and said with a sneer: "Don't say that Jin'er is only an injury on the skin this time, and there is no worry about his life, even if King Su accidentally kills Jin'er, how can the people of the sect really sanction King Su?" Either you have the ability to keep King Su locked up in the Sect's Mansion all the time, otherwise, when he comes out, when the time comes, my Li family, as well as the Zheng family of the virtuous son-in-law, will be the target of King Su's revenge! …… The king of Su, who will repay him, will never let go of anyone who is his enemy, and Luo Wenzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Ancestors, is a lesson from the past! ”

......Hearing this, Li Jin's face decreased slightly, and he frowned and said, "Is it possible that you can only swallow your anger?" ”

Li Yan stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Bear with the calm for a while. …… King Su is not a bully, but he hates someone to threaten him the most, Fan Biao, the left servant of the household department, is now in the situation of the household department, you are not unclear, obviously with the support of the prince of the East Palace, but what is the result? The Ministry of Household Affairs is still in great disarray. This is the fate of threatening King Su. After that, he turned his head to look at Zheng Lun and admonished: "Virtuous son-in-law, if you listen to the old man's persuasion, you will persuade your wife, don't choose to be the enemy of King Su at this time, even if the Li and Zheng families join forces, they can't afford to offend." ”

"Son-in-law understands." Zheng Lun said respectfully.

Seeing this, Li Fu nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, King Su has gone a little too far this time, but this is not a curse, but a blessing." Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at his son Li Jin again, and said: "Jin'er, the current smelting bureau is in a treacherous situation, and you have to retreat three points from the military casting bureau." ”

Li Jin didn't feel good when he heard this, but he didn't dare to disobey his father, so he had to nod obediently and agree: "The child obeys." ”

As a result, the Li family and the Zheng family did not say anything at all.

This surprised the officials of the 24th Division of the Sixth Department of the DPRK and the Central Committee, after all, they never thought that about the matter of Zheng Jin, the Li family and the Zheng family chose to swallow their anger, let alone retaliate, and did not even protest.

Even, even Zhao Hongrun was very surprised, after all, in order to set an example for chickens and monkeys, knocking on mountains and shaking tigers, with his acquiescence, Zheng Jin and his officials were not lightly injured.

As predicted by Li Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhao Hongrun had already thought about it, if the Li family and the Zheng family couldn't swallow this breath this time and let the Zongfu intervene, Zhao Hongrun didn't mind being released from the Zongfu and even took the Li family and the Zheng family to clean up together, but now the other party is so obedient, but it makes Zhao Hongrun feel a little uncomfortable.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later."

Shaking his head and putting this matter behind, Zhao Hongrun summoned Wang Fu and Chen Tang, Cheng Lin, and Xun Xin.

When Zhao Hongrun told these four what he thought in his heart, Wang Fu, Chen Di, Cheng Lin, and Xun Xin couldn't help but be a little moved.

Why?

Because the first thing Zhao Hongrun instructed them to do was to count the list of personnel in the smelting bureau and improve everyone's salary.

"Raise the craftsman's fortune?"

Wang Fu asked cautiously.

"Yes." Zhao Hongrun nodded in affirmation.

He had learned about the current monthly salary of the civil officials and craftsmen in the Smelting Bureau, and he really couldn't imagine that the craftsmen who were the backbone of the Smelting Bureau only had about 60 taels of silver per month, while the experienced craftsmen had increased by 20 taels on this basis.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun was speechless, you must know that from the craftsman to the craftsman, the years consumed are not more than seven or eight years, but the monthly salary has only increased by twenty taels.

As for the civil officials in the Smelting Bureau, the monthly salary is generally not high, take Wang Fu, who is the director of the Smelting Bureau, for example, his monthly salary is only 180 taels, and the rest of the three Lang officials, Chen Tang, Cheng Lin, and Xun Xin, their monthly salaries are about 80 taels to 120 taels according to their qualifications, and as for the general officials, their monthly salaries are also according to their qualifications, ranging from 32 to 50 taels.

With the price of the beam, what can a monthly salary of 32 and 1 month do? Although it is enough for a family of five to eat, drink and wear, I believe that there is absolutely no savings left, so once you get sick, you can only resist, and you don't even have the money to see a doctor and take medicine.

"From now on, the monthly income of everyone in my smelting bureau will be doubled! …… In addition, this king has said in advance, this is only a preliminary increase in the monthly salary, as long as the development of the smelting bureau in the future is in line with the king's wishes, even if the monthly income is several times larger, it will not be a problem. ”

When he said this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

If it weren't for the 300,000 taels of silver in his hand, I believe he wouldn't be so confident.

"All in all, if you do a good job, the faster your monthly income will increase."

Under Zhao Hongrun's money offensive, not to mention what would happen to the craftsmen in the smelting bureau after hearing about this, at least the four civil officials in the house, their enthusiasm has been mobilized.

"What does Your Highness want us to do?" Langguan Cheng Lin asked with great interest, because he had a hunch that His Royal Highness King Su was probably going to make a big move.

"What to do in the first step......

Hearing Cheng Lin's inquiry, Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "Let's make a ruler first." ”

"Ruler? We have a ruler in the Smelting Bureau.'"

Wang Fu, Chen Di, Cheng Lin, and Xun Xin looked at each other, their faces full of incomprehension. (To be continued.) )
