The next day, inside the textile factory.

Mu Yunqian looked at the wrapped Shu brocade, and felt a sense of relief in his heart.

After such a long time, the last batch of Shu brocade that she supervised was finally completed, and she didn't have to worry about things here in the future.

has nothing to do with the royal affairs, Mu Yunqian can't be happy if he wants to.

"Congratulations to Miss Mu, not only did the supervisor not have an accident this time, but these Shu brocades were woven according to the suggestions you gave earlier, and the quality in all aspects is much better." Today is the day when the last batch of Shu brocade is delivered, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is also there, he slowly walked to Mu Yunqian's side and said: "If the emperor knows, he will definitely reward you." ”

"Lord Shangshu laughed." Mu Yunqian didn't react to this, just a general polite remark.

Where does the emperor still have the strength to care about this now? It's good to be able to take care of his three sons.

"This is not a joke, the emperor admires Miss so much, so he will naturally be rewarded." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu squinted his eyes and smiled, and then said: "By the way, I also heard that the emperor has been unwell recently, and Miss Mu helped to recuperate." ”

"Such a great merit will definitely be rewarded by the emperor." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu opened his mouth and said a lot of flattering words, and then said flatteringly, "I hope that Miss Mu will see the emperor in the coming day and be able to beautify my face for a few words." ”

Mu Yunqian just smiled at this and didn't speak.

She didn't think about this, not to mention the reward, the emperor could not attack their Mu family and let them go back to Jiangnan as soon as possible, that would be the best gift.

"Shang, Shangshu, something happened!" While the two were talking, they saw a man dressed as a guard running in in a hurry, his face still full of anxiety.

"What's going on?" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu frowned slightly and asked.

"Yes, it's the head of the household, who sent someone to find the adult, saying that it was about Shu brocade and wanted to talk to you." The guard gasped.

"Got it." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu nodded, and muttered, "What can happen to these Shu brocades?" I'm going to see what he can say. ”

After speaking, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry turned his head to look at Mu Yunqian again, and asked hesitantly, "Miss Mu might as well go with this official, right?" After all, it's about Shu brocade, and you are the overseer of Shu brocade weaving this time......"

"Okay." Mu Yunqian frowned, although she didn't want to take care of these troublesome things, but after all, she was an overseer, and she couldn't say anything if she didn't pay attention to it.

……

When the two of them arrived, Hubu Shangshu was sitting in front of the desk, dealing with official business, and when he saw the two coming, he put down the brush in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the two.

"Hubu Shangshu, you called the official, what is the so-called matter?" After all, I don't know what happened, so when I opened my mouth to ask, the tone of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was quite polite.

"You came just in time, this time the weaving of Shu brocade used three hundred taels more silver than the previous year, should you explain this?" Tobe Shangshu snorted coldly, threw out a large number of lists, and asked in a bad tone.

Every year, the silver used in the weaving of the royal Shu brocade is from the household, so whether there is more or less needs to be figured out. balance

"This ......" the Ministry of Industry Shangshu choked, and it seemed that he didn't expect such a change, and he suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Hubu Shangshu only thought that he was weak-hearted, and his tone was a little more arrogant when he spoke, and said: "Every year, the difference in the silver used for Shu brocade weaving is no more than fifty taels, why did you spend so much more?" These silvers ...... You can't be the one who swallowed it, right? ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" When the Ministry of Industry Shangshu heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he said sharply.

was framed for no reason, he couldn't bear it!

"Then tell me, where did all this money go?" Tobe Shoshu continued to be aggressive.

It's just that this time the Ministry of Industry has not yet spoken, and Mu Yunqian has already taken the lead in speaking: "The raw materials for weaving Shu brocade this year are much more expensive than the previous year, and this year's batch of Shu brocade is 20 more horses than in previous years, of which the extra 200 taels are used in raw materials and fabrics." ”

Tobe Shangshu squinted at her, and then noticed the other party.

Mu Yunqian was the imperial supervisor who was personally appointed by the emperor at the banquet that day, and he naturally recognized it.

As if to confirm her words, she added: "During the brocade weaving period of Shu, every expenditure is indicated in the shop where the materials are purchased, and if the Lord of the Household Department does not believe it, he can check it himself." ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu deals with a lot of things on weekdays, and Mu Yunqian from the manufacturing factory didn't care much about him when he looked at him, and now he listened to the other party's explanation, and when he agreed: "That's right." ”

The other party had already said so, but Tobe Shangshu didn't believe it, but just asked, "What about the remaining one hundred taels?" What's going on? ”

"The rest of the silver should be overpaid to the embroidery girls......"

Mu Yunqian said, but she is not very sure about this, after all, she is only responsible for supervising the raw materials and watching the embroidery girls to weave without problems, for the problem of their wages, it is a matter of the Ministry of Works, and it has nothing to do with her, so what she knows is not very clear.

"Yes, it does." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu nodded and echoed: "This batch of Shu brocade weaving has taken a lot of thought than before, and the wages for the embroidery girls are also more than before. ”

He only knew a rough idea of this, and he didn't need to worry too much about it if he had Mu Yunqian supervising the work.

"No matter how much it is, it won't be a hundred taels more, right?" When Tobe Shangshu heard this, he looked at him with disdain and asked, "Didn't you say that you had filled your pockets!" ”

"Of course not, how could this official do such a thing, don't wronged people!" has been wronged and embezzled three or four times, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is also a little angry, and he is very angry.

"Then you should explain clearly what this is about, paying the show girls is a matter of you, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, this time even the overseer can't speak for you." Tobe Shangshu snorted.

In fact, this little money is not so tight, as long as there is an explanation, but the two are under different political parties, and now they are just looking for an excuse to suppress each other.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu didn't care about these things, and he couldn't explain this bit of silver for a while, so he had to look at Mu Yunqian like asking for help, and said: "I said that this time the Shu brocade weaving has to do more things for the show girls, and the time has been long, and the monthly money is naturally to be given more, is there anything wrong?" Miss Mu, you said yes, right? ”

Mu Yunqian was helpless and nodded: "That's true." ”

The two then argued again, and finally broke up unhappily, but Mu Yunqian was inadvertently caught in the whirlpool of struggle.
