Chapter 52: The Poisonous Dragon Ears Collect the Thunder (2)

Tai Hospital is an unpopular yamen, and it is a "witch doctor, musician, and a hundred workers" who Han Yu said "disdainfully gentlemen", so who is responsible for this yamen does not make the ministers too much attention. They are also happy to change to a more intelligent doctor, so that they can have something to rely on in case they get sick.

As for the Gunpowder Bureau, it was a fat shortage under the Twenty-Four Bureaus, and it was an important link that could participate in the profit distribution of the Beijing camp.

Every year, the emperor allocated military funds from the internal treasury to the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, and after eating up most of the empty salary, he ate up half of the various scepters, armor and gunpowder. Among them, the gunpowder is the most beautiful, as long as you take it back, who knows if it was used in practice? Although the optimal formula of black powder has long been available, in order to save costs, as long as it makes a sound, who cares about the lethality of gunpowder.

Zhu Cihong met with Lu Bin, the envoy of the Tai Hospital.

This old man, who is a doctor of the Central Committee and a young man of the Guanglu Temple, has no opinion on the replacement of the new leader, anyway, there is not much difference between the emperor and the crown prince for him, and they are both people who control their own careers.

The prince was also not interested in this kind of "good doctor" who was good at warm supplements, exquisite in medicine, and would rather make no mistakes than make mistakes, but asked him to copy a copy of the crude drug inventory list under the Tai Hospital as soon as possible to facilitate the use of medicinal materials.

As a result, Yu Chang officially worked in the Tai Hospital, had the right to read all the inventory information, and became a well-known confidant of the prince.

But the Powder Bureau is in some trouble.

"Firearms are booming, this is something that you can think and know with your knees." Zhu Cihong returned to the East Palace Outer Mansion, and his mood was obviously much brighter. He said to Liu Ruoyu in the study: "If you compare firearms to soldiers, gunpowder is the courage of soldiers." Soldiers go into battle on the line of life and death, and there must be no negligence in this. Who do you think you can do? ”

Liu Ruoyu thought for a while and said: "The Gunpowder Bureau is also short of fat, if you send a greedy person, I'm afraid it will be bad." But there are few people in the middle who are not greedy for money. ”

"There's always an incorruptible one." Zhu Cihong said. The Gunpowder Bureau was more limited than the Tai Hospital, and it was an internal supervision yamen, which was always in the hands of eunuchs.

Liu Ruoyu chuckled and said, "When the old minister was in the palace, he heard a story. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"In our palace, there is a place called Anle Hall, which is the place where the ancestors are blessed and heals the internal officials and the small fire." Liu Ruoyu said.

"yes, I know." Zhu Cihong nodded.

Liu Ruoyu then said: "During the Wanli period, two internal officials lived in Anle Hall. One of them didn't get early, there was nothing around him, only a copper basin. When his family came to restrain him, they searched for the copper basin but could not find it. In addition, the internal official soon died of anger, and when he retracted, he found that there was a copper basin hidden in the quilt, which was the relic of the previous internal official. ”

Liu Ruoyu smiled bitterly: "This matter was a laughing stock for a while. Therefore, it is said that the ministers are greedy and stubborn, and they will not die until they die. It was precisely when he saw these bad habits that the old minister was very unwilling in his heart, because he had three major wishes. One is not to play a show, the second is not to build a house, and the third is not subject to the property of the deceased official. Therefore, the first prisoner sat down, and the minister's last thoughts could be laughed at. ”

Zhu Cihong was noncommittal. He knew that Liu Ruoyu was indeed incorruptible, otherwise he would not have fallen into a situation of worrying about food and clothing after being released from prison. However, the life of the great eunuch is also very clear to Zhu Cihong, so he does not have much sympathy.

"So, it's really hard to find anyone among the eunuchs?" Zhu Cihong gently touched the fluff on her upper lip, which had recently begun to turn black and hard.

"Lao Chen really can't think of a suitable candidate...... Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness. Liu Ruoyu said.

"Then it's just a matter of identity."

"I'm afraid the civil servants won't go to that kind of place." Liu Ruoyu said.

That's the official position of a eunuch, which civil official is willing to go? And it is difficult to arrange the rank.

"The minister has a nephew, who is honest and hardworking, and I don't know if I can do it internally." Liu Ruoyu bowed and said.

Zhu Cihong glanced at him with a little meaning, and said with a smile: "Don't avoid relatives inside, don't avoid revenge when you move outside, this way of loyalty can be said to listen to." What are his strengths? ”

"Honest and willing to do it." Liu Ruoyu repeated these four words: "The old minister has followed His Highness in recent days, and it is quite refreshing. The first saint must win talents and then take up general affairs, but His Royal Highness sets rules, rewards and punishes, and then trains talents with general affairs. Therefore, the old minister thought that as long as people are honest and willing to work hard, they can scrupulously act according to the rules of His Highness, but it is better to use someone who does not have any ideas of his own. ”

Zhu Cihong's smile was even stronger, and looking at Liu Ruoyu's eyes, he had a bit of a confidant. In his previous life, he didn't believe in star employees, and preferred the institutionalized team Liliang. I heard that there is a genius in a certain software giant company who has a genius who has done a project, and it is impossible to find such a person, let alone rely on it.

Only an iron-like system and airtight norms can make the entire team, and even the empire, go further.

This is also the reason why Zhu Cihong is not in a hurry to accommodate his henchmen in the palace. As long as there are norms and the right to do things, the backbone cultivated by oneself is more reliable. And those who burn cold stoves and ride on the wall are everywhere, and if there are no particularly outstanding candidates, there is really no need to bother to store them.

"Since you have the confidence not to avoid your relatives, I have nothing to worry about. But you know my rules, rewards and punishments must be clear, the matter of the Gunpowder Bureau, I am very concerned, if he dares to violate my taboo, I am afraid that you will be implicated. Zhu Cihong said seriously.

"The old minister will also be careful, and he will definitely not let any leaks in the gunpowder bureau." Liu Ruoyu's original intention was to take the Gunpowder Bureau into his palm, which was the foundation of his real life. However, his status is too high, and the prince seems to be more interested in his ability to plan around him, and has no intention of letting go, so he brought his nephew out.

Although his nephew is a nest and can't even hold down a mother-in-law, he is tall and big, has a lot of strength, and is a rare solid eye. There is no one to support him at home, and when he has the prince's banner outside, he may not be able to do something. What's more, those craftsmen in the Gunpowder Bureau have a lower status than the nephews of the Liu family, and they definitely don't have the courage of the leopards who committed the following crimes.

……

"You rammer, you only know how to pluck the fruit, but you don't know how to pick the fruit. How long did we raise him for nothing that day? He should take care of your only nephew, isn't you the only one in your Liu family? The mother-in-law chattered as always, but she didn't dare to have the domineering arrogance of pointing her nose and scolding like that day.

She even used a kind and persuasive tone, saying: "Do you think you are doing chores outside, how much silver did you drop in January?" Now that my uncle has lifted us up, an errand of five taels of silver a month, do you still think about it like this? ”

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it, and my uncle will be affected by it." The man smoked a cigarette, and his whole face wrinkled together.

With a monthly income of five taels of silver, that is a high salary that I couldn't think of before! Those talented men who can write and calculate, go to wealthy families to serve as Western seats and clear guests, and this amount is only this amount a month. I don't know a few words, and I may not even recognize my name when I take it apart, but because of my uncle's support to climb to such a high position, my legs are weak when I think about it.

"Besides," said the man timidly, "didn't Uncle give us a hundred taels?" ”

"Scared! Jinshan Yinshan can stand you eating, drinking, wearing and living like this! The woman's voice suddenly rose so high that the man's neck shrank in fright, and he didn't dare to speak.

The woman hurriedly lowered her voice and persuaded again: "Besides, you haven't heard the neighbors say that the prince is too micro Xingjun and can subdue demons." Now that there is a plague in the city again, you can go to the East Palace to get some fairy energy and come back, and your home will be safe, right? Maybe I can still conceive a man and a woman with this luxury? ”

The name of continuing the incense from generation to generation was pressed, and the man could no longer find any other reason to refuse the errand. He took two puffs of cigarette with his head and said, "Okay, I'll go!" ”
