When Sun Shangshu left the Machinery Department of the Ministry of Industry, he received a clear reply from the director, and several research institutes have recently proposed the latest components, so the old steam engine is facing a comprehensive upgrade problem. If the upgrade can be successful, the old machine will be overhauled, and the factory departure time of the new steam engine is not certain for the time being.

For these words, Sun Shangshu has no concept at all. After leaving the mechanical hall, Sun Shangshu suddenly regretted it, he felt that he should see what the steam engine was. However, Sun Qing was also a scholar, and the court under the rule of the Zhao official family was not the previous court. In the past, the imperial court could fully talk nonsense, and the amount of work on the Zhao Guan's side was very large. A little slack, and it won't be done. Sun Qingshang put this matter down.

Two days later, a strange tower built on the side of Sun Qingshangshu's neighborhood was finally built. The tower is framed with iron and cement reinforcements, and the walls are made of red brick. The boxy tower is more than ten meters high, but there are not many windows. This is very curious. The dolls had run in, and according to them, there was nothing but the staircase. Sun Qing didn't care.

After Sun Qing returned home, he saw a notice left by the Water Affairs Bureau at home. The community water supply will be changed from fountains to running water. Please prepare the cost of the modification and keep people at home when cooperating with the modification. If you refuse to renovate, please solve the water problem by yourself after the fountain is completely out of service.

As a bureaucratic leader, Sun Shangshu was very dissatisfied with the bureaucratic style of the Water Bureau. slapped the report on the table with a snap, and Sun Shangshu said angrily: "Just send a notice with such a big grin." The water board is too big! ”

Perhaps from the point of view of the Water Authority, this notice clearly describes what is going to happen, and the consequences of disobedience to the orders of the bureaucracy. However, Sun Shangshu believes that his status is above the Water Authority, so there is no reason to be treated as such.

Sun Qing's wife is from the bookstore, and after listening to her husband's words, she laughed, "Then what are you going to do?" Don't you pay? ”

Hearing this, Sun Qing's first impulse was naturally 'Lao Tzu just doesn't pay the money, what can those scum do'.

Because he was not a traverser, Sun Qing did not know that the enslaved Manchu Qing Dynasty had a drama "Da Luan Driving" with a background in the Song Dynasty. If he knew, probably Sun Qingshangshu would be scared silly. In that play, a noble concubine, in order to protect her relatives who broke the law, dared to block the official's road with a car. There is no such stupidity in the Great Song Dynasty, that is, there is, there is no need to fight with Bao Zheng, just a royal envoy from the imperial history platform will sue him, and the concubine and his relatives will be finished together.

Sun Qing is the Shangshu of the Great Song Dynasty, and he knows that with the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, the result of the bar with the Water Affairs Bureau is that he will not get any benefits except for playing prestige. The Great Song Dynasty is a country ruled by law, and the so-called rule of law is that there are rules.

So Sun Shangshu was ruthless in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He finally said with a gloomy face: "I want to see what they can pretend, if it doesn't work, I'm going to the official house to impeach the Water Bureau!" ”

"Haha!" Looking at Sun Shangshu's annoyed appearance, his wife was amused and laughed.

Not everyone has such a culture, and some people really told about it in the morning meeting. It's told as a briefing. Regarding this kind of fake public and private matter, Zhao Guanjia did not say a word. Everyone looked at Zhao Guanjia's expression, but they didn't say anything more. The importance of the Water Authority is well known, and everyone expects better services from the Water Authority. It really brought down the water board, and they broke the water supply. People can continue to drink tap water that has not been filtered and treated. Looking back on the previous days, everyone also temporarily confessed and watched what the Water Authority was preparing to come up with.

A few days later, Xiong Shangshu sent the latest negotiation report. The Mongolian side demanded a sky-high price, proposing that the Great Song Dynasty should first sign a comprehensive peace treaty with Mongolia and allow Mongolia to sail freely on the sea. This look is an expression of insincerity. The envoys of the Great Song Dynasty immediately debunked the Mongols' thoughts and temporarily suspended the negotiations.

Zhao Guanjia just laughed twice and didn't say anything. Everyone can imagine such things, so there is nothing to worry about. The others are more detailed Sriwijaya messages. The Song army requested that telegraph lines continue to be erected along the Indochina Peninsula and that the telegraph terminal be built to the southernmost tip of the Indochina Peninsula. In the future, news from the strait could be transmitted directly to Hangzhou, and the Great Song Dynasty could easily control the entire Indochina Peninsula and the South China Sea.

This suggestion was not agreed to or opposed. There is no technical problem with setting up telegraph stations, the problem is that there are still many barbarians and savages on the Indochina Peninsula, and it is a big joke to simply put a few telegraph stations.

The matter was put aside for the time being. Sun Qingshang's family received the news of the transformation. It was the weekend, and the Great Song Dynasty had a five-day break, and Sun Shangshu was watching at home that day. The men took their tools and banged on one of the corners of the water room, and then a hole appeared there.

Sun Shangshu thought that God knew how to toss such a thick floor, but he didn't expect it to be solved so quickly. He had to admire the level of work of these guys.

With the upper and lower passages, these people installed some wrought iron water pipes in it, and also installed various water valves, straight-throughs, three-way and four-way water. The water pipe connected to the original flush toilet has also been replaced with an internal water pipe. At this time, Sun Shangshu was a little stunned, and he asked, "After you pretend like this, how will we get water in the future?" ”

"Turn on the faucet and the water comes out." There is no bureaucracy in the construction workers, and they answer very bluntly.

"We don't have to go out with water in the future?" Sun Qing felt that the fountain was a very considerate and convenient way to supply water, and any modification would not be so convenient. But I didn't expect that the latest water supply turned out to be that everyone can stay at home and use water as they please. This change has exceeded the limits of Sun Qing's imagination.

"That'...... Why not in the first place? Sun Qing asked.

"The quality of the previous tubes was not up to par. There are always all kinds of problems. This is a recently qualified product. ”

"It's been years! Stumped for years to solve such a problem? Sun Qing didn't appreciate it.

"Put this thing on it, if there are problems everywhere in three months, can you stand it?" The master asked rhetorically.

"What do you mean? How long have you been doing the experiment? Sun Qing felt a little understood.

"We have to experiment under various conditions for more than a year, and after a year we have a full examination. We have not been idle in the past few years. "The master was straightforward when he spoke.

Sun Shangshu recalled everyone's impression of the Ministry of Industry. Those guys in the Ministry of Labor are crazy. If a group of people are just blindly arrogant, they have been arrogant for years. Then the Ministry of Industry should have been crushed by the angry crowd long ago. The fact that they have grown stronger and stronger over the past decade or so shows that there must be a reason for them.

This kind of persistence is one of the willingness.
