In anticipation of the hundred officials, on the fifth day of King Jing's return, the deliberations finally began.

The Xingcheng Mansion is large enough, and the "Three Provincial Halls" in it have been renovated and used exclusively for daily deliberations.

Traditionally, if there are no accidents, officials set aside an hour or so each day to discuss important matters.

Mu Jingyi walked slowly.

There are no trees planted on both sides of the 100-meter road of the government office, only a few small potted plants. The main buildings are concentrated on the central axis, and are built according to the rules of "Wenzuo Wu Right" and "Front and Back Mansion".

The plaque of the "Three Provinces Hall" is still the original and has not been replaced, and it is written "clear, cautious and diligent". Quoted from the words of a sage, it means "For officials, be clear, cautious, and diligent, and cultivate these three, why can't you cure the trouble!" ”

When Mu Jingyi arrived, it was Chenshi, that is, at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and there were already officials of all sizes waiting in the hall.

"I've seen the prince!"

Ge Zhengtong was talking to his colleagues at the door, and he was the first to find Mu Jingyi.

"I've seen the prince!" In an instant, the emotions of all the officials were excited.

"Get up!"

Mu Jingyi strode to the top position and sat down, Feng Bosong also sat in the lower right position on his right, and the other officials still stood in the hall according to the old system and replied.

"Is there anything going on today?"

There is no greeting at all, no opening remarks, King Jing's way has always been simple and rude.

"Your Highness, the lower officials have something to come back to." The first to stand up was actually Qi Yuancheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

"Say", Mu Jingyi's eyes drooped.

"Lord Wang, since last year, the biggest project in our north is the railway of the "Xingyan Line", my Ministry of Industry and Households, as well as colleagues in various places, have invested a lot of financial resources and manpower, and finally lived up to expectations and built about half of it", Qi Yuancheng first invited himself and his colleagues to take a credit.

"Well, this king saw it, and he did a good job!"

When Qi Yuancheng heard this appreciation, he immediately felt bitter in his heart.

"But, Lord Wang, this railway, about 400 miles, the officials of our Ministry of Industry have all been sent out, and they have been away all year round, and life is hard", Qi Yuancheng said.

Mu Jingyi asked, "During the year-end evaluation, the Ministry of Engineering will be given additional rewards, and all those who participate will be credited!" ”

"Thank you, but that's not what the lower officials want to say."

Qi Yuancheng looked at Mu Jingyi's expressionless face, and suddenly felt that he didn't know how to open his mouth.

He leaned to the side and pushed Ge Zhengtong with his arm, "Old Ge, you are talking!" ”

Ge Zhengtong looked at the roof and pretended not to hear.

"Lao Ge, don't you shout the most fiercely on weekdays?" Qi Yuancheng spoke quietly.

"What the hell is going on? Grinding, do you still say it?! Mu Jingyi's cold eyes swept over, and Qi Yuancheng suddenly stood straight.

"Lord Wang, that's the case. It is really not easy to build a railway, and hundreds of people from up and down our engineering department have all gone out, and they will still encounter various problems from time to time. Such as water conservancy, such as stone, such as geology...... This, this princess, she ......"

At the mention of Luo Xiaoqiao, Mu Jingyi's eyes drooped, and the corners of his mouth tended to rise.

"What's wrong with the princess?"

"Princess she, she...... When she is good, she throws a drawing to everyone, and when it is difficult, she lets us study it by ourselves when it is rare...... Lord Wang, this is not overnight, this railway, it is about to toss into the big guy's half life. ”

Qi Yuancheng remembered that his youngest son was also on the construction site, and he couldn't see his fair appearance anymore, and he couldn't help but feel distressed when he had a pair of red eyes every day.

"The lower official asks the prince to call the shots!"

As soon as Qi Yuancheng's words came out, other officials, big and small, immediately complained.

"Lord Wang, the princess got a new evaluation, and last year, no one in our department got the "goodness"! Lord Wang, we really tried our best. ”

"Lord Wang, and the papermaking, that Lord Cai is the pillar of my Ministry of Industry, and she has been borrowed by her for more than a year, when will you come back?"

"Lord, princess, she also divided a piece of land in the suburbs, and asked my government to be responsible for demolishing and rebuilding the people."

"Lord ......"

"Shut up!" Mu Jingyi's fingers pinched his eyebrows, and he remembered Luo Xiaoqiao's playful eyes before going out, and he was helpless.

"Lord Qi, you let this king call the shots, so do you have any solution?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Yuancheng was stunned, he really hadn't thought of a solution.

always thought that when this question was thrown, the prince would decide to at least let them not be so sad.

"So what do you want this king to say, huh?" Mu Jingyi asked.

"This ...... Xiaguan ......"

"I raise so many officials in the north, and I can't even solve this little problem! Well? The princess helped you think of a way, and you still pushed back, what is the reason? ”

"Lord Wang, the lower officials don't dare."

Mu Jingyi's words were very unkind, and the backs of several people were sweating when they heard it.

"Do it! Don't let the king hear any more complaints! ”

"Yes, yes!" The officials promised and did not dare to reply.

Qi Yuancheng glared at Ge Zhengtong fiercely, good you old Ge, it seems that you have known the attitude of the prince for a long time, and today he actually said nothing, and let them give him the lead.

Ge Zhengtong looked at the angry eyes of his colleagues, and he was also very wronged, the prince had that attitude that day, where did he dare to say it!

The officials wanted to cry without tears, and after today, they finally recognized the current situation.

They found that it was better to talk to the cold-faced prince about these things, it was better to go to Tai Chi with the princess, although the result may be the same, but anyway, the princess's attitude is quite soft.

"What else?" Mu Jingyi asked.

"No, no."

"It's just right, you don't have it, this king has it here!"

As Mu Jingyi spoke, he asked Qin Yan to send each of them a piece of paper.

Several officials exchanged heads and ears, and they quickly finished reading.

"Lord Wang, is there going to be a research institute in the Northland? What does this mean? ”

Fu Jian also saw this proposal for the first time and stood up to ask.

"I have developed in the north to this day, and you should have discovered that it relies on the small skills that have always been looked down upon, and it is the skills of craftsmen. The number of people in Tianji Pavilion is too small, and this king still hopes to be able to discover talents widely and recruit talents, so that the skills of craftsmen can be passed on. ”

"This ...... Lord, this is good, but the status of craftsmen is only a little higher than that of merchants, and there has never been a precedent for craftsmen to be officials. Sun Yangbo stood up again.

"Master Sun, what you said is not right, my northern land is changing, and we can't just because we didn't have anything before, we won't change in the future." Huang Yuzhang said.

"However, it's a custom passed down from our ancestors, this, this has changed, it's a big rebellion!" There are also a few conservative officials who also disagree.

"The research institute is in charge of the princess, and talents will be selected in the near future, and if it is particularly prominent, he will be allowed to change the identity of the craftsman." Mu Jingyi said noncommittently.

Sun Yangbo secretly hated, that woman who had nothing to do, did she have to turn over the genius of this northern land?!
