The next day, the morning meeting.

The energetic Lu Zhi and Lu Jian, who had dark circles under his eyes, went to court together.

King Yue ordered that Lü Jian and Lü Langzhong preside over the repair of the statue of General Yu, the god of the town, with the assistance of his fourth son, Lü Zhilu, the deputy envoy, and the two of them were allowed to go to the court to discuss matters.

The two of them accepted the order, and the early dynasty ended, that is to say, how much importance you attach to this one thing today.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were even more realistic, staring at the Lu family with their eyes, and even some of them went down to the court, but they didn't even return home, and followed the Lu family's carriage all the way, and they were going to visit directly.

This is nothing, the matter in the court spread in a few hours, and in the afternoon, the market was rushed at the door of Lu's house, and it was full of people.

Talking about relatives, interceding, and not knowing anyone who is going to come to the door to give gifts, almost didn't break the threshold of the Lu family.

Xie Yan Xie was afraid that someone would snatch Lu Li, the future son-in-law who had already been decided, and went to the Lu family in person.

It's a pity that even so, they still can't stop these crazy officials, and the key people don't break the law, just send some congratulatory gifts, and Xie Yan can't say anything.

In the end, if it weren't for King Yue's death order not to disturb the repairs, these people would not have left at all, and they would have been in the Lu family.

After this incident, Lu Zhi finally understood the status of the statue of General Yu, but he felt that it was too exaggerated.

…………

The right attendant of the Ministry of Works.

Although Lord Shilang also went to the Lu family to congratulate him, as soon as he returned home, he locked himself in the study and seemed to be in a bad mood.

Soon, the sound of falling objects could be heard in the study.

"Sir?" "Get out, get out of here!"

The housekeeper called the door and was reprimanded, there was no way, he could only invite the son to come and see, but after the waiter went in, he fell even harder.

Is this two people together? The housekeeper quietly opened the door a small crack, and before he could see anything, a porcelain vase flew in front of him, and he was so frightened that he slammed the door shut and fell to the ground.

"Oops, it scared the hell out of me!" Fortunately, the crack in the door was not large, and the porcelain vase did not fly out.

"I'm angry, I'm really angry." The housekeeper rubbed his buttocks and didn't dare to raise his head again.

If he was not mistaken, the old man even dropped his favorite porcelain vase, which shows how angry he is, the butler thought, probably this is the so-called thunder rage.

In the study, the squire father and son smashed everything they could, and then sat on the ground, face to face, silent, panting.

Both of them are not small, like two puffing frogs.

"Huhu, didn't you ask someone to clean up this Lu Zhi, what did you do?" The more Lord Shirou looked at it, the more unpleasant he became, and he scolded directly.

"I, I found the son of the extremely fresh house, and also, there are some other ......" The squire boy lowered his head, and he didn't dare to get angry anymore, and became distracted.

It turned out that during the Imperial Merchant Conference, the mentally retarded people who harassed Lu Zhi and made Lu Zhi recognize his identity were all found by this squire son.

"There's a fart!" Lord Shilang raised his hand, and the frightened Shilang Gongzi hugged his head, "Yes, also, the child still knows some people, I heard that they are very powerful, and there are grandmasters under him." ”

"What did you do earlier?" Lord Squire snorted a few times, probably thinking that it was useless to be angry, so he put down his raised hand, "Go ahead, Dad has to think about what good opportunities there are next." ”

"Alright, alright, the boy will step aside." The squire lowered his head, his loose hair covered his eyes, and a touch of ferocity flashed away.

"Hey~~~" Lord Shilang was originally bound to preside over the renovation of the statue of General Yu, and his identity is also suitable, the key is that this matter has a lot of credit, and it can be used as the capital for his promotion.

Yang Shangshu is old, as long as he completes this matter, will Shangshu's position not be proper at that time? It's a pity that he has been cut off by the Lu family now.

Squire-sama cleared his chair and sat down to meditate.

Don't look at him now as the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, it can be said that he is in a high position, but these are all false, very empty, very empty.

His foundation is actually very shallow, not to mention the power of the family, in a place like the capital, it is not conspicuous at all.

If he hadn't been hard enough on himself, he wouldn't have been able to sit in his current position.

Isn't it, when Lu Jian's father died, King Yue had ordered several times to strictly investigate the Ministry of Industry, and the killing was a rolling head, so that the entire department was panicked.

It is also because of this that the position of this right attendant has been vacant, and no one dares to do it at all, so it is his turn, which can be said to be bold.

Originally, he was trembling as an official, and he didn't have any miscellaneous ideas at all.

But after so many years, there has been nothing to do, and this courage is getting bigger and bigger, plus Yang Shangshu is getting older and older, and he has moved his mind when he comes and goes.

The family power is here, and there is little chance of normal competition, so he hit the idea of repairing the statue of General Yu.

For this matter, he also spent a lot of money to move around, but fortunately, there were no competitors.

Until the Lu family returned to Beijing, the situation changed suddenly, it can be said that it took a sharp turn, and then the great opportunity was gone, or there was no one at all, and only Lord Shilang himself knew the taste.

In his opinion, being an official is like sailing against the current, if he doesn't advance, he will retreat, and he wants to move forward because he is afraid of retreating.

Lord Shilang's eyes were distracted, and he muttered in a low voice, "Lu family, Lu family, Lu family......"

…………

At the gate of the inner city, under the statue of General Yu, Lu Zhi was looking up.

Recognizing the importance of the task, he did not rush into action, but prepared to conduct a field trip first.

"The wind and rain are blowing, and the surface is seriously peeling off, so it's no wonder it needs to be repaired." This statue looks okay from a distance, but when you get closer, it looks like the surface of the moon, pitted.

"Huh?" Lu Zhi picked at the skin of the statue's feet and found something, "Could it be that thing?" ”

Before entering the Military Weapons Bureau, Lu Zhi had thought about why the Weapons Bureau could not complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court every year?

After entering the Ordnance Bureau, he understood that craftsmen had to build a small part called mechanism wood every day, and the task was very large, which naturally delayed other work.

Of course, with the help of vernier calipers, this Daily is now much easier to complete.

Lu Zhi once observed that these traps were secretly transported away, and he didn't know where to go, so he asked Yang Shangshu, but he didn't say anything, just said that he would know later.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi actually found it in the statue of General Yu.

This statue is a head higher than the city wall, and the interior is actually made of mechanical wood, I have to say, this is really a huge project.

Fortunately, Lu Zhi is only repairing and renovating, if he is allowed to preside over the construction, it may not be fun.
