The old man's life is still peaceful, and he has not been affected by the old lady's move to sell the big house.

It's just that the number of times he returns to the Rong Mansion is becoming more and more rare, and he will definitely not step into the Rong Mansion for half a step until the big festival, even if there are more people sent by the old lady to summon him, it is useless.

Do you really think that without the Rong Mansion, the eldest master will not be able to get involved?

Although the Ministry of Industry is only the last of the six major scholars, he is also a dignified second-class official, standing at the top of the officialdom of Daqi, and there are many officials who want to take refuge.

It's really not a joke, as long as the eldest master is willing, he will directly pull up a team and form another officialdom faction.

It's just that he was too tired, and the eldest lord was not in the mood to intrigue with others, so he didn't put it into practice, but it was not an existence that anyone, including the current Emperor Taishang, could despise.

How to say, there are also Lin Ruhai of Taichang Temple, and Jia Lian in the governance of Shuntian Mansion echo each other from afar, and they are also a force in the officialdom that people dare not underestimate.

However, the Rong Mansion, without the support of the eldest master, I am afraid that it will immediately fall from the third-rate family and become one of the families that do not enter the capital, even if the entire Rong Mansion is completely controlled by the old lady?

I don't understand what the old lady thinks, she actually played with the big house and the big man, thinking that she could hold the big house in her hands?

Dream on!

Although he had a dislike with the old lady, the eldest master did not target the second master of Zheng, and still handed over the renovation of the sewers in the capital to him to supervise and be responsible.

I don't know if it was the old lady who reminded me, or if I figured it out, this time the second master of Zhenger learned smartly, and after taking the supervision of the project, he directly subcontracted the project to the Xue family's personnel.

I heard that he gave him a shorter construction period, but he did not deduct the project money pulled out by the Ministry of Works.

Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the manpower of the Xue family should have been mentioned by Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, and it is called a clean and neat one when they are busy.

Every evening, he began to work hard, and it didn't take half a month to repair the sewers in the north and south cities, and then transfer them to the east and west cities, and it took less than ten days to finish the work.

After receiving the report that the project had been completed, Master Zheng Er couldn't bear the excitement in his heart and didn't care about the face of any scholars, and personally took Jia Zhu to accept the quality and completion of the project.

There are small officials and workpieces of the Ministry of Engineering to make records, and the Xue family really didn't play any tricks, and the sewer renovation project in the city was done quickly and well, which was unanimously affirmed by the inspection officials of the Ministry of Industry, and signed their names on the acceptance report.

Master Zheng Er was excited, this was the first time he had completed the project, and the sense of accomplishment was about to explode, and what made him most excited was that he could look up and talk in front of his colleagues.

"Big brother, the sewer dredging project in the city has been completed!"

Holding back the excitement in his heart, he rushed to the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible, ignoring the looks of his colleagues, and went directly to the eldest master to report the good news.

"Not bad!"

After receiving the report signed by several officials of the Ministry of Industry, the eldest man casually flipped through it and put it aside, and said with a smile: "How do you feel about completing the task for the first time?" ”

"It's a great sense of accomplishment!"

The second master of politics was in a very good mood at this time, but he didn't mind revealing part of his true mood in front of the eldest master.

"What's next?"

The eldest man chuckled lightly and asked slowly, "Do you want to rest for a while?" ”

"No, I want to keep doing engineering!"

Master Zhenger said loudly: "Is there a project suitable for me to do, eldest brother?" ”

He's not stupid, he doesn't have a hot brain, and he has to do the project that is beyond his ability, which is a sign of masochism and not self-motivation.

"Yes!"

The eldest master smiled slightly, flipped through the information in his hand, and gave a few projects suitable for the second master of politics, and let him choose freely, which can be regarded as a reward for him to do a good job on schedule.

In this era when there is no construction machinery, no matter how good the infrastructure is, there will be problems after a long time, and there are not a few parts that need to be responsible for the Ministry of Industry.

The second master of the government picked a job that looked simpler, and hurriedly turned around to leave, looking at his eager face, it was obvious that he couldn't wait to be the project overseer.

The eldest lord didn't care, it would be good if the second master of politics could really get up, and when he could independently complete the tasks assigned by the ministry and accumulate enough experience and merit, the eldest lord would not be stingy to bring him up.

Don't doubt it, the eldest lord definitely didn't have any good intentions.

It's not that he dug a pit and buried the second master, but indirectly counterattacked the old lady.

Isn't the old lady ruthless and directly pushed the big house into the fire pit, the old man will naturally not be polite, and he will not be rude.

He won't directly fight with the old lady, and even if he wins, he won't have any sense of accomplishment.

The eldest lord is targeting the area that the old lady cares about the most and cannot be violated by others.

What the old lady can't tolerate the most, that is, her status and authority in the mansion!

But if anyone dares to violate her vital interests, the current situation between the big man and the big house is the best example, and the old lady doesn't mind letting the big house end up at all.

Don't think about it, Dafang and the old lady are basically separated from morality, and there will be no chance of easing in the future.

The old lady can make it, and the second room can also be controlled, who called the second room to be very ambitious about the old lady's private room, since you want other people's things, you naturally have to be honestly restrained, there is nothing wrong with this.

Why is the second master under the control of the old lady?

It's not that the old lady can give him enough benefits, and when the officialdom is basically hopeless, the old lady's private house and authority can allow him to get unusual treatment and enjoyment in the mansion.

I really think how filial the second master is?

Right now, the eldest lord is giving the second master of politics a chance to rise in officialdom.

As long as he himself has a little bit of merit, the eldest master doesn't mind pulling this guy, making his career smoother, and giving the second master of politics a feeling of being promoted by virtue of his own ability.

Let's see, after the second master of politics has completed a few projects and accumulated enough experience and qualifications, the eldest master will promote him to the position of Langzhong.

When he arrives at the position of Wupinlang, he is responsible for the construction of the engineering planning of a province, and if the second master wants to make a difference, he will definitely be busy in the dark.

Once he gets busy, the second master of Zheng will not care about filial piety, and the resources of the entire second room will have to revolve around him, whether it is Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhu and Li Kun, or the mother and daughter of the Xue family who live in Lixiangyuan, they all have to focus most of their energy on supporting the work of the second master Zheng.

When the time comes, the old lady will naturally be snubbed, and it will depend on how she reacts.

The old man is looking forward to it, just don't disappoint the old lady's performance.

Not only is the second master of politics gradually familiar with it, and he is quite satisfied with the supervision mechanism proposed by the eldest master, the entire Ministry of Industry is actually adapting to this new set of rules of the eldest master.

The effect can't be said to be good, but it is not bad.

The rules set by the eldest lord directly called the Ministry of Industry to make a lot fewer opportunities to make money, and such a situation naturally made the interests of the injured party dissatisfied.

But in the same way, the rules set by the eldest lord have reduced the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry by seventy or eighty percent at once, so that the middle and low-level officials in charge of specific matters are quite satisfied.

In modern times, it is quite tiring to do engineering, and there are all kinds of construction machinery to help each other, not to mention that there is basically no construction machinery available, and the project has to be filled with manpower in ancient times.

Front-line work is definitely a tiring job, although the officials stationed by the Ministry of Industry are all directly contributed, but the life on the construction site is definitely not good, and sometimes they have to face all kinds of harsh weather and geographical environment, ordinary officials really can't stand it.

The rules set by the eldest lord, although the chance of asking them to reach out directly is also reduced by more than seventy or eighty percent, but compared to the suffering suffered on the front line, those silver are really nothing.

The eldest master did not rush to ask the upper and lower levels of the Ministry of Engineering to get familiar with it immediately, but by constantly letting his subordinate officials practice small projects, it was not too late to show their strength when they were completely familiar with this new model.

Your arms can't twist your thighs!

The eldest lord is the biggest thigh of the Ministry of Industry at this time, and the rules he has set no matter what the officials below think, they have to accept it honestly, unless they don't want to mix in the Ministry of Industry, or think that they can bear the anger of the dignified Ministry of Industry, otherwise they all have to honestly act in accordance with the new rules.

The effect is still quite obvious, after all, the real money is invested, and the quality of acceptance and the completion of the project are closely related to their own official hats, even if they are greedy, they have to think about their own safety, and dare not be too greedy.

In the past, the project was plucked layer by layer, and the project silver was deducted layer by layer from the beginning of the household allocation, and finally the silver that could be used in the project was not saved by three!

This is not bad, there are those who are more ruthless and greedy, and directly greed all the money of the project, and the so-called project is to toss it around, and they don't bother to pay attention to what the result will be in the end.

After all, you get what you pay for, and the old man has set a new rule, although it is inevitable that there will be deductions in the middle, but in the end, the silver in the hands of the specific construction party should be about fifty or sixty percent, which is already quite remarkable, and the big man has taken a lot of responsibility and pressure for this.

He simply doesn't care about these vain things, otherwise it would be better to change his identity, and the bigger powerful family members would not dare to play as thoroughly as the eldest master.

In the month when the second master was busy with the renovation of the sewers in the city, the entire capital became a construction site, and everywhere was busy renovating, the city walls, roads, lower roads and even the moat were included in the scope of renovation, and the infrastructure of the entire capital seemed to have undergone a renovation in a month, and it became very different.

The officials in the court are not blind and can't see these changes, although many people are quite repulsive to the big man in their hearts, but they also have to admit that the big man is an out-and-out capable minister, and even today they have been named and praised at the recent court meeting, so that the dissatisfied voices within the Ministry of Industry have completely disappeared.
