The next day, Han Rui went to work as usual, but his spirit was very haggard, dazed, shaking his head and dozing off, fortunately it is the spring hardship period, many people are like this, and no one will find it strange, it can be seen that ancient officials were sometimes happy, sometimes they were quite hard, they got up before dawn and went to court, rain or shine, not everyone can get used to it.

Hiding in the corner and yawning quietly, Han Rui casually held a few Buddhist scriptures in his hand, and read them boringly, Monk Huaihai's request was not very easy to refuse, the problem is that the printed books have been submitted to Shangshu Province, and they have been changed privately, I am afraid it is not easy to explain, and it involves Buddhist disputes, a little careless, it is full of wind and rain, and I have to be cautious.

Han Rui shook his head, said hello to his colleagues, and walked leisurely towards the carving workshop, because it was an errand assigned by the emperor, the provincial temple Baisi did not dare to slack off, and cooperated with Han Rui's work very much, for a period of time, the scale of the carving workshop gradually increased, not only transferred the place, the carving craftsman also expanded from the amount of ten or twenty to nearly 100 people, the latest office location, is also quite secluded, but the yafang is more spacious, due to the needs of the work, directly through the wall, more than a dozen rooms are connected, enter the door to see, is the scene in full swing, nearly 100 craftsmen, Divided into several groups, typesetting, inking, stickers, sweeping, shading, combination, assembly ...... One link after another, like an assembly line operation, each link, according to the amount of work, arrange several craftsmen to work, but here is only a part of it, other rooms, there are craftsmen responsible for engraving and mending, mixing ink, cutting paper, etc., as a traverser, Han Rui naturally understands what it means to take into account the overall consideration, arrange carefully, strive for the greatest extent, and squeeze the surplus value of the craftsmen.

From the warehouse, the mountains of books, it can be seen that Han Rui's arrangement, the effect is remarkable, more than once, by colleagues, Shangguan praise, this, Han Rui does not have much pride, after all, it is only the most simple human process, not to mention the mechanical production, even the simple liberation of labor has not been able to do, the speed does not seem to be slow, in fact, it all depends on those craftsmen, working day and night, to have the current results.

It's a pity that Han Rui is not from a science background, and for some technologies, he is just hearsay, and he knows only a little about it, so he can only put forward some opinions.

"The school scrivener is humble, how could we have thought of it without your guidance." The old carver was respectful, and said with a smile: "Some time ago, the wheel typesetting frame you mentioned, we have made it, push the wheel, take the word and return the word, it is very convenient, no need to run on both sides, the son of the group, a lot easier, grateful." ”

"One person counts short, everyone counts long, I am not perfect, there are always times of negligence, you yourself in the process of work, think of any better tools, maybe methods, you might as well say it, if it works, the court will not hesitate to reward." Han Rui said that appropriate encouragement is necessary and effective.

This can be seen in the enthusiastic and positive actions of the craftsmen.

"Don't worry, as long as you find something, you will definitely report it." The old carver said with a smile: "However, those boys are all elm heads, it's okay to start with them, and you don't need to count on them if you create inventions or something." ”

The word invention is still what Han Rui said, the old carver is now learning and selling, Han Rui shook his head lightly, did not agree, but smiled: "The three stinkers are better than Zhuge Liang, you are more experienced in these jobs, life accumulation, one day the spirit is mobile, invention and improvement, it is very normal." ”

After turning around twice, he didn't find anything abnormal, and he was very satisfied with the progress of the craftsmen's work, Han Rui praised and encouraged him according to the usual practice, and then went back, anyway, there were a few scribes next to him, and he was not afraid of the craftsmen slacking off.

Under the congratulations of several scribes, Han Rui left on the front foot, and the craftsmen began to talk about it.

"In other words, the school scrivener is so polite, he doesn't beat or scold, he just completes the work on time, but there is a reward, will he cash it out."

"Hey, newcomer, don't worry, the school scrivener is a good person, he never counts when he speaks, two days ago, that group of brothers overfulfilled the task, the school scrivener was happy to see it, and each person was rewarded with ten dollars."

"Hehe, what is this little money, wait for me to think about it for a while, make a useful tool out, and take the ten rewards to make you drool with envy."

"Boy, just your stupid brain, don't dream in vain."

While the craftsmen were chatting lively, several scribes came back and immediately raised their whips and warned: "What is the noise, don't you want to do it?" ”

Suddenly, the market was quiet, a group of craftsmen were silent, working in a hurry, the salary here was good, and the monthly salary was paid according to the full amount, and there were additional rewards, so that fools didn't want to do it.

After all, Han Rui had already warned, and the scribe really didn't dare to fight, pretending to wave the whip, confused, and couldn't figure out what the school scrivener was doing so politely to these cheap craftsmen, shook his head, walked quickly to the old carver, nodded his head, smiled shyly, and said: "Uncle Chen, the copperplate printing has been made, if there is anything I need help with, even if you open your mouth, there is absolutely no ...... to say."

"It's coming, if you lack something, I'll call you." The old carver said without saltiness, his attitude was a little cold, but the scribe was not angry, after all, things have been made, and there are also his merits, rewards, who will dislike it.

At this time, Han Rui returned to the secretary's room, but he still had no clue in his head, and when he stepped into the house, he found that everyone seemed to have nothing to do, huddled together, talking and laughing, and he was not afraid that the imperial historian would see him and participate in the impeachment.

cough, Han Rui made some movement, someone turned around, and hurriedly greeted: "Han Xiaoshu, come and meet the new Secretary Gu." ”

Oh, Han Rui is not surprised, some time ago, there was a secretary Lang Gao, who went to the Ministry of Rites to be Langzhong, there was a vacancy in the position, and several school scholars with older qualifications and seven grades of loose officials were secretly competing, ready to go further, but they didn't think that there would be results so quickly, listening to the meaning of this, it seems that no one has fallen behind, and let others choose the cheap.

Han Rui stepped forward, everyone dispersed slightly, and finally saw the face of the new secretary Lang, who was also twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a dignified appearance, and a bookish atmosphere in his eyebrows. ”

"Secretary Gu is polite." Han Rui responded with a smile, exchanged a few words of greeting, and had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't notice that this new secretary Lang had a lot of relationship with him, but he was the Gong Cao Gu Yin of the Yue Palace, and he was recommended by Li Tai, and he became Han Rui's boss.

The spring breeze in his heart was proud, but he didn't show it, he looked at Han Rui deeply, Gu Yin smiled: "It's noon, everyone will go to eat together, and in the evening, I will please." ”

When I first arrived, I must have a friendship with my colleagues, this is the way to survive in the workplace, throughout the ages, it is not the case, everyone responded, and was willing to give this face, free dinner, why not eat.

At this moment, a scribe walked over and said, "Han Xiaoshu, Secretary Yu has an invitation." ”

Han Rui nodded, confessed, turned around and walked towards the secretary and supervisor's office, as a second-class member of the imperial court, the treatment of the secretary and supervisor is not only manifested in the spaciousness of the office, next to the yaroom, is a suite, inside the bedroom, garden, kitchen or something, there is no shortage, noon, definitely not with the middle and low-level officials, to the canteen to receive a boxed lunch, but in the small hall of the suite, enjoy the small stove food.

This kind of treatment is the goal that Han Rui set for himself, and he should be able to achieve it in the next 20 years.

Of course, such ambitions, it is better not to say it, so as not to make people laugh, people dream of living in the temple, which is not the heart of the world, hoping to realize the ambition of governing the country and the country in the chest, if it can leave a strong mark in the history books, then it will be more perfect, but Han Rui is actually embarrassed in order to open a small stove.

The first time I met Yu Shinan in the suite, especially at the time of dinner, when I came here, I saw the exquisite meals neatly arranged on the table, steaming hot, and the aroma was attractive, Han Rui couldn't help but swallow his throat, looked at it twice, and then looked away.

One night, Yu Shinan still didn't seem to get rid of the sadness and pain of the death of Monk Zhiyong, his eyes were bloodshot, his expression revealed a strong sense of sadness, he waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "Sit down." ”

Han Rui knelt down and comforted: "Gong Yu ......"

"Okay, what to do, the old man knows what to do, and he doesn't need you to teach him." Yu Shinan interrupted very unceremoniously, clenched his fist, reached the corner of his mouth, coughed lightly a few times, and had more twilight on his body that he didn't have before.

Han Rui's eyes were full of worry, and he had the heart to persuade him again, but Yu Shinan didn't give him a chance, and said in a dark voice: "Just now, the old man has taken leave, Your Majesty has granted it, I will go home later, before leaving, there is something I want to ask you." ”

"What?" Han Rui was puzzled.

Yu Shinan asked, "Monk Fa Lin has gone to look for you?" ”

"That's right." Han Rui nodded in acknowledgement and sighed: "For no reason, I actually caused a trouble, and I don't know how to solve it." ”

"It's a hassle." Yu Shinan agreed, and asked calmly, "What do you think?" ”

"I don't know, until now, I don't have a clue." Han Rui hesitated, then shook his head frankly, and asked, "Is there a solution for Duke Yu?" ”

"There is naturally a way, as long as you say that Your Majesty will be moved." Yu Shinan said.

Is...... Saying it is equivalent to not saying it, Han Rui rolled his eyes, the problem is, how to move Li Shimin, this is the difficult place, there is no high-sounding reason, Han Rui feels that there is little hope of success, besides, it is even more difficult to write and speak in the case of angering those Taoist priests.

In fact, deep down, Han Rui just didn't want to wade this pool of muddy water, so he would have so many worries in his heart.

"The new secretary Lang Gu Yin, I saw it just now." Yu Shinan said suddenly: "He was originally the Gong Cao of the Yue Wangfu, and I heard that the Yue King believed in Buddhism, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. ”

It turned out to be him, Han Rui suddenly realized, Li Tai believes in Buddhism? I haven't heard of it.

Han Rui was surprised, thoughtful, and frowned slightly: "What does Duke Yu mean?" ”
