Chapter 14 Progressing Smoothly

The royal workshop suddenly became Wang Tao's industry, and not only many people in the palace were talking about it, but many well-informed ministers outside the palace also felt incredible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 For example, Huang Liji, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, because he is a fellow countryman with Wei Zhongxian, was vigorously reused by Wei Zhongxian and finally became the first assistant of the cabinet last year.

Of course, it cannot be considered that he is a member of the eunuch party, in fact, many so-called eunuchs are not dead set on following Wei Zhongxian. After the Donglin Party gradually seized power, it squeezed out non-Donglin Party people, and Wei Zhongxian, as a eunuch, wanted to grasp the power, and naturally the support of officials outside the palace was indispensable. Winning over these officials who were squeezed out by the Donglin Party naturally became his most effective method.

The same is true for Huang Liji, just because the Donglin Party is too xenophobic, he is unwilling to be excluded, so he has to be close to Wei Zhongxian, and he didn't expect to become the first assistant of the cabinet because of his fellow countrymen. As the first assistant of the cabinet, of course, he was very concerned about the emperor's movements, and Wang Tao also entered his sight very early. It's just that in his opinion, Wang Tao is just a skilled craftsman, and it is not a big deal to win the emperor's favor for a while, after all, the emperor is also a skilled craftsman, and it is normal for two people to have a common language.

He naturally knew about Zhao Deli's impeachment of Wang Tao, but this Zhao Deli was not his person, and he couldn't control it, so someone would naturally deal with this matter, after all, this was a matter of the inner court. Although you are the first assistant of the cabinet, you can't stretch your hand too long, otherwise Wei Zhongxian will be unhappy.

It's just that the internal official supervision and construction bureau suddenly became a private property, which really surprised him. After Wei Zhongxian reported this report, he knew about it, and he easily guessed that this Zhao Deli might have something to do with Wei Zhongxian, otherwise, according to Wei Zhongxian's previous temper, how could he be so concerned about the twists and turns of a Donglin Party's imperial history.

The news from the palace made him very interested in Wang Tao, who originally thought he was just a skilled craftsman, living immortals and knowing spells. Although it is not the time of the Jiajing Dynasty, there are still some special plots for these monks inside and outside the court. In this current environment, everyone can only listen to Confucius and stay away. There is nothing terrible about a alchemist, but a craftsman alchemist is too attractive to the current emperor.

This person must pay good attention, and if he can not offend in the future, he must not offend. What he didn't expect was that he was going to leave Wang Tao's matter behind, but someone came to the door.

After taking the mysterious Zhang Quan to his study and ordering his subordinates not to enter, Huang Liji began to chat with the eunuch chief who was not very familiar.

"Our family is here to send Lord Huang a fortune." Putting down the teacup, Zhang Quan said to Huang Liji with a smile.

"I don't know what kind of wealth Grandpa Zhang wants to give me." Huang Liji was actually a little unimpressed when he heard Zhang Quan's words, you are a eunuch in the palace and I am a Ming chief assistant talking about wealth and nobility, isn't this nonsense.

"Lord Huang will take a look at this first." Zhang Quan naturally heard the disdain in Huang Liji's words, and he was not angry, and handed him a few written things.

"What does Lord Huang think?" Seeing that Huang Liji finished reading the things prepared in advance, he asked with a smile.

"It's really a fortune, but it's hard for me to decide for a while." Huang Liji couldn't believe that these eunuchs who usually lost money when they didn't pick up money when they went out would be so generous.

"It's normal for Lord Huang to have this kind of thought, our family is not in a hurry, this thing will stay here with Lord Huang, you can find someone to advise you." Of course, Zhang Quan knew that it would be difficult to impress the Shoufu Lord in front of him with just these few pieces of paper, so he said politely at the moment.

"That's so much thank you to Grandpa Zhang." Huang Liji arched his hand to Zhang Quan to express his gratitude.

"Then our family won't bother Lord Huang, if you make up your mind, you can send someone to tell me." Zhang Quan stood up and prepared to walk out.

"Father-in-law Zhang, why leave in a hurry, I'll carry some wine and food, you can leave later." Hearing that Zhang Quan was leaving, Huang Liji hurriedly said.

"Our family won't bother you, if our family's sensitive identity is seen, it will not be good for us." Zhang Quan definitely didn't want to eat this meal at Huang Liji's house, if it was known that he had something to do with Huang Liji, I was afraid that things would not be good.

The emperors of all dynasties were very strict with the internal management and the external officials, and they were afraid that the internal and external collusion would be unfavorable to them, but the average high-ranking officials would have their own people in the palace, after all, no one wanted to touch the emperor's brow. Many eunuchs in the palace also relied on this to make more money.

Although Huang Liji is the first assistant of the cabinet, he is still a little confused about what Zhang Quan wrote. He ordered someone to call the governor of the mansion and told him to take a good look at whether this thing was real.

The manager looked at it, organized the language and said: "If the truth is true, this is indeed a great gift." ”

"There shouldn't be any fakes here, there's no need for Zhang Quan to fool us with a fake thing." Of course, Huang Liji didn't worry about the real problem, what he was thinking about was whether this thing was really as written above, nearly 100,000 taels of silver a year.

As the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money and making one's life better, which is the initial goal of many officials, and Huang Liji is naturally no exception. Later, although he became a big official, he still couldn't change his love of money.

"You're going to gather some information tomorrow and see what's going on with this bike and the new wagon." Huang Liji is a cautious person, he must not scatter eagles if he doesn't see rabbits, so he must understand these things well.

There are no secrets in the world, and many people have seen the success of the new carriage experiment, and Huang Liji quickly learned that this thing is true and reliable.

"It seems that I really have to meet Zhang Quan again." Huang Liji said to himself.

A similar scene has been staged in many places, and in the past two days, Zhang Quan has run a lot of officials who planned it at the beginning, and these officials have reacted to this incident similar to Huang Liji. After all, there are few fools in high positions, and they know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Wang Tao and the others didn't care, anyway, if they wanted to do this business, they wouldn't be able to do it in a while. The priority was to find a good place to make a home for the royal workshops. It didn't take long for Wang Tiqian to find a very nice place, which was the place where Wang Gong's factory exploded a year ago. After the explosion, many houses and other houses have not been repaired, and this place is not small, enough for the royal workshop.

Wang Tiqian felt that this place was good, but he didn't know if Wang Tao felt taboo about it, after all, this was an unlucky thing, and what surprised him was that Wang Tao didn't care about it.
