Chapter 46: Duke Lu

Chapter 46 Lu Gong

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter again, and after laughing, they looked at Zhang Song's gaze, which was more and more different from the past.

In a traditional sense, Zhang Song, the director of the Internal Affairs Department, is definitely a villain. But it is precisely because he is a villain that he is not ashamed of his words and profits, and he calculates many interests clearly.

Indeed, the Huaiyang Governor's Office strictly forbade the corruption and benefit of the officials under its command, and would not give any tax exemption policies to the land in the names of the officials. However, the Huaiyang firm controlled by the Huaiyang Governor's Office can make money every day. All officials have corresponding job dividends in the firm, even if they are not corrupt and bribery, they can still be a rich man, and it is not a problem to accumulate for a few years, raise seventeen or eighteen little wives, and cover a courtyard with a few acres of land.

In addition, with the repulsion of Tokhtar and the gradual increase of various workshops, the new industrial and commercial industry has faintly exerted its unique power. According to this momentum of development, Mr. Zhu's chances of sitting in the world in the future will definitely exceed 60%. If you don't do it with a good founding father, you can covet the little profit in the process of coinage, such a stupid thing, how many donkeys have to be stepped on in your head to get it?

The imperial examination may not be able to select talents, but it will definitely exclude fools to the greatest extent. In Zhang Song, this truth is a clear verification. Just when everyone was bored, I saw that he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the first forging machine a few times, then arched his hand, and said with a smile: "The copper plate prepared in advance is almost used up, you are busy, Zhang went to ask the chief manager for instructions, is this here today..."

"Master Zhang, just go..."Except for the officials of the Bureau of Industry itself, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been amnestied, and returned the salute to Zhang Song, and all the previous disdains were quickly left behind.

Zhang Song, the director of the Internal Affairs Department and the new director of the Huaiyang Mint, quickly sorted out his appearance. trotted to Zhu Chongjiu's side, and whispered in his ear, "Boss, the copper plate is used up." You see"

"Then stop the machine, thank you for your hard work..."Zhu Chongjiu's discussion with Jiao Yu just came to an end. He looked up and commanded with a smile.

So there was another earth-shattering roar, and the two forging machines with different purposes slowly stopped running. The craftsmen and craftsmen were tired and sweaty, but their eyes were full of excitement. Contrary to their situation, most of the officials present were all pale, and a few of them who were particularly thin began to walk staggeringly.

"You should know this time..."Seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't help but say a lesson, "There is nothing easy in the world, and making tools is not just a simple path. Even if "

Before he could finish a sentence, he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the door. Immediately after, Cai Liang, deputy director of the Industrial Bureau, rolled in like a meat ball, "Lord, lord spare your life." Wechen doesn't dare anymore, really doesn't dare anymore..."

"Speak up, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Chongjiu was immersed in the joy of successful coinage, and when he saw Cai Liang's appearance so wolf, he couldn't help but ask with sympathy on his face.

Seeing this, Chen Ji, the director of the Military Intelligence Department, hurriedly reminded him, "This place is so well guarded, how can someone chase him in and harm him?" He's calculated the time and came to you to help him get out..."

"Really?" Zhu Chongjiu frowned slightly, and quickly turned his head to Huang Lao. Huai'an Army's secret workshops were all managed by the latter, and unless he made special arrangements, it would be absolutely impossible for Deputy Director Cai Liang to come so coincidentally.

"Lord Mingjian..."Huang Lao's crooked face immediately turned red into a purple eggplant, he saluted first, and then defended in a hesitant manner, "Yes, it was Weichen who asked him to hide from the limelight in the gun-making workshop recently." But, but Weichen, Weichen definitely didn't tell him, the lord will come over today. I definitely didn't give him an idea, let him run to you to please himself. ”

"Really? I can't see it, you Huang is quite selfless..."Zhu Chongjiu pursed his lips, not believing every word Huang Lao Crooked said at all. The gun-making workshop and the coin-making workshop are so close to each other, and he brought such a large wave of people to inspect, it is impossible for Cai Liang, deputy director of the Industrial Bureau, not to see it. As for taking advantage of his own happiness, inferring from the trial production process of copper coins just now, Huang Laowei, Jiao Yu and Zhang Song, I don't know how many times they have been rehearsed in advance, how can they not be "one-time success"?

Thanks to Zhu Dapeng's memory, as long as the leaders of the 21st century came, all the major engineering projects were "one-time" successful examples, and he has long been aware of them. Anyway, even if there are ninety-nine failures in the past, they can be ignored, and they can be counted directly from the last one. Both parties know this.

"Lord, lord Mingjian..."On Huang Lao's crooked forehead, beads of sweat began to fall down in large pieces, "Our Bureau of Industry is already scarce in talent, and those who study are unwilling to come, even if they come, they can't sink their hearts to do things." Although Director Cai is a troublemaker, after all, he has been with Weichen for so many years, and he has never made any big mistakes."

"Okay, just tell me straight, what did he do?" Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand and interrupted loudly. It is human nature to protect shortcomings, and Huang Lao's crooked behavior is not surprising. But in front of so many people, he could not take the lead in ignoring the laws of the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion.

"Yes, it's Wei Chen, Wei Chen came over to disturb the lord on his own initiative, no, don't blame Huang for it..."Deputy Director Cai Liang found that Zhu Chongjiu's expression was wrong, and took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself before Huang Lao was crooked, "Wei Chen, Wei Chen should not be in front of the battle, recruit relatives before the battle." Please, please punish the Lord..."

As he spoke, he suddenly straightened up and waited respectfully for disposal.

"Recruiting relatives before the battle, which drama are you singing? Zhu Chongjiu's heart was on fire when he heard this, and he raised his eyebrows and asked. "Why don't I remember, do we have a rule that Huaiyang is not allowed to recruit relatives before the battle? …”

"Weichen, Weichen, know the mistake, know the mistake" Cai Liang blushed, looking forward to Ai Ai.

"The lord is clear, he did not return after the deadline, although there was a reason for it. But the Military Intelligence Department thinks that this person is no longer suitable to stay in the important place of the workshop..."Chen Ji, the director of the Military Intelligence Department, made a straight face and ruthlessly revealed it beside him, "Wechen has already notified Director Huang of the result, and the bureau has also recognized Wechen's judgment. However, on the grounds that the Bureau of Works has been busy recently, Director Huang hid him in the workshop and refused to hand him over to the Bureau for resettlement..."

"Lord Mingjian, the Internal Affairs Department has never dealt with similar precedents in this matter, so I want to postpone it for a few days, and then report it to the Lord Gong after all the details are verified..." However, he was in a hurry to get out that night, so he used a beautiful man's trick to impress Wu Nuxia's sister. With each other, with each other privately for life... The next day, Wu Nuxia found out that her sister and Chief Cai had already had an affair, so she made up her mind completely and drove the fleet directly..."

"Beautiful men?" Zhu Chongjiu put a lot of effort into it, but he didn't see that the round Cai's chief was still having the potential to be 007. However, since the military intelligence and internal affairs departments have been clarified, Director Cai has not leaked secrets, and he is too lazy to pay attention to the rest of the housework. Therefore, he smiled, frowned, and said, "Since he didn't leak his secrets, why do you still think that he shouldn't continue to stay in the Bureau?" ”

"It's the Jian Yiyi of the Bureau and the Military Intelligence Department, and the Internal Affairs Department, but I think that Director Cai has forgivable circumstances..."Zhang Song glanced at Huang Lao Crooked first, and then continued to report in a low voice, "Plus Director Huang wants to protect him very hard, so he hasn't made a final decision yet, and he hasn't reported it to the lord..."

"He took a cargo ship back to Huaiyang without the protection of the fleet, which is already a violation of discipline." Chen Ji was already blushing and unrelenting. It is true that the Military Intelligence Department did not find out his problem, but the witnesses on the same ship were all minions of Wu Nuxia. Their words may not be credible..."

"The lord, the lord is clear... Lord Mingjian..."When Cai Liang heard this, he immediately shouted loudly again, "Weichen, Weichen really didn't leak the secret. The things in the workshop are so complicated, in fact, even if Weichen says it, the layman may not be able to understand it. Weichen just felt that he could still do something for the lord by staying in the Industrial Bureau. Even if he let Wechen only be a small official, as long as he can stay here, Wechen is willing..."

"This is not to be taken lightly. The Hundred Workshops are the core of my Huaiyang, and we must guard against them..."Lu Luzeng suddenly walked in from outside the door and said in the same tone as Chen Ji.

He was the head of the bureau and Zhu Chongjiu's grandfather-in-law, and his two sons and a grandson also held important positions in the Huai'an army, so his words were extremely influential. If there are no surprises, the final result has basically been announced.

Seeing that Cai Liang, deputy director of the Industrial Bureau, was about to be 'kicked' out of the door, who expected Huang Lao to be crooked at a critical moment, but he regained some courage. wiped the sweat from his forehead, and pleaded loudly for his arm, "Lord, Weichen is willing to save his life and protect Lord Cai..."

One is the director of the bureau, and the other is the director of the bureau, each holding a building,-for-tat. This is a rare scene rarely seen in the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion. And these two people have very special backgrounds. Suddenly, the other officials around closed their mouths, and one by one they stared at the boss, ready to see how their lord would judge the case.

But I saw Zhu Chongjiu smile and ask Zhang Song, Chen Ji and Lu Luzeng loudly, "Then Wu Nuxia and her husband, the Ministry of Officials, the Military Intelligence Department and the Internal Affairs Department have secretly investigated?" ”

"I've been inspected, and there is no doubt about my resume..."Zhang Song and Chen Ji nodded in unison.

"What position do you think they are suitable for?"

"Zou Zhuangshi has rich experience in water warfare, and after training in the martial arts hall, he went to the naval division to serve as the commander of a detachment and poke and poke..."Lu Lu once didn't understand why Zhu Chongjiu wanted to divert the conversation, frowned and thought about it, and responded in a low voice. But Wu Nuxia also wanted to command the battleship, but Weichen didn't think it was appropriate. After all, there is no precedent for a woman to come on board and command a man since ancient times. ”

"What's so hard about that? There is no precedent, and I Huaiyang will create a precedent that..."Zhu Chongjiu smiled and said without hesitation. "Anyway, what I Huaiyang did was more than this... I think that woman doesn't let her eyebrows go, and it's more than enough to be a squadron admiral... It's better to let them and their husbands go first to teach martial arts to familiarize themselves with the Huaiyang military order, and then Wu Nuxia will be the commander of the detachment, and Zou Zhuangshi will be the deputy..."

"My lord...", Lu Lu had heard the great urgency, and instinctively wanted to speak for advice.

"That's it, the matter doesn't have to drag on any longer. Then let Master Cai do his best to go to the Zou family to propose marriage, and marry Wu Nuxia's sister-in-law home. In this way, even if there are still doubts about him, everyone has become my Huaiyang's people, and there is no need to delve into it..."Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand and made a decision loudly.

Before the words fell, Cai Liang, who was already desperate, knelt down with a "poof" and exchanged tears.

Since returning to Yangzhou, he has been living almost every day. I don't know what the Governor's Mansion will do with me in the end, and I don't know how to deal with my wife who is about to pass if I lose my official position and resign. And today, Zhu Chongjiu's words swept away the haze above his head...

"Lord Shengming..."Huang Lao, Jiao Yu, and the surrounding craftsmen and craftsmen also arched their hands and thanked Zhu Chongjiu loudly.

Although he usually receives a lot of wages, the Governor's Office has repeatedly emphasized the equality of the four people. However, the officials of the Bureau of Industry and the Great Craftsman still had no status among the rest of their colleagues. Today, Zhu Chongjiu not only kept the very popular Cai as the director, but also firmly expressed his importance to the Industrial Bureau.

"Lord" Lu Lu Zeng wanted to persuade again, but was pulled by Mr. Su, who came in after him, and the second half of the words had to be swallowed back into his stomach.

This made him feel very depressed, until his face was still blue on the carriage back to Yangzhou City. Mr. Su, who was traveling with him, was afraid that he would be sick, so he couldn't help but smile and persuade: "Isn't it just the arrangement of the deputy director of the Industrial Bureau?" Worth so much of your concern? There are many things in those hundred workshops that you and I can't understand. How could an outsider steal a secret with just a few words? …”

"I'm not angry, I'm angry" Lu Lu Zeng glared at him fiercely and shook his head angrily, "As the head of the Governor's Mansion, you actually let the lord do whatever he wants." In that case, what's the use of asking you to be the first assistant here? It's better to change to a puppet for singing, the lord pulls the rope, and you just make a move..."

This sentence shows the real problem. Although Zhu Chongjiu did not officially claim the king, Huaiyang has a series of red scarves and has long been independent of Bianliang. According to the official system of Mengyuan, Mr. Su is the prime minister of a country, and Lu Luzeng is the political affairs of Pingzhang. The two of them must not only assist the monarch in organizing the day-to-day operation of government affairs, but also speak out and dare to prevent the monarch's erroneous orders from being carried out by various ministries.

But what Su Mingzhe did was definitely not a qualified prime minister. I never found him when arguing with reason, but his movements were faster than anyone else's. If it goes on like this, how can Zhu Chongjiu be a wise man? How can everyone reproduce the rule of Zhenguan? …

"As the boss said, Su Mou's long history should have been made long ago...", but he was scolded for being scolded, Su Mingzhe was not angry, gasped loudly, and said with a smile, "But Lord Lu, isn't it what you have been looking forward to today?" It's not that you always think that the lord is too soft, and I hope that the lord will be arbitrary... Why can't you stand it when it falls on your head today? The so-called Ye Gong is a good dragon, and that's not the case..."
