The book in Ji Gang's hand was just released in the palace, but it was for Jinyiwei to investigate the matter of Longjiang Shipyard.

This Longjiang shipyard is located near Longjiang Pass, bordering the Yangtze River in the west and the Qinhuai River in the east. At the beginning of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu opened a shipbuilding factory in the open space in the northwest corner of Nanjing.

The reason why the sea ship was chosen to be built here is because it was a wooden sea ship built at this time, and the middle was mostly fixed with iron nails without being pulled, so it could only be built in a place near the river. When building, it is necessary to block the gate between the dock and the Yangtze River, and after the sea ship is built in the dry dock, wait for the tide to come and then open the gate, bring in the river water, and then float the ship out. Drift down the Yangtze River to the sea.

Originally, this Longjiang shipyard had long been abandoned, and after Taizu banned the sea, it was almost in a state of semi-shutdown, only for the sailors to build some boats. Now, however, it is extremely important. Therefore, the scale is gradually large, in addition to the lifting division, the helper command hall and a tent factory specializing in building sea ship canopies, there are also seven workshops such as joinery workshop, painting workshop, twisting workshop, iron workshop, tent workshop, rope workshop, cable workshop and material shop. The supervising officials of the shipyard, in addition to the Ministry of Labor, who are ranked in the fifth grade, also have staff members, directors, promotions, helpers and commanders. There are nearly 100 first-class low-level team leaders alone.

Recently, because the imperial court attaches great importance to this, the eunuchs who inspect it, as well as some high-ranking officials of the household department and the Ministry of Industry also haunt from time to time.

Now the whole capital knows that the shipyard is now the most popular place, and the government and the opposition are looking at it, and even the Son of Heaven has asked again and again. But now it is an order to ask, and this inquiry is certain, and the crux of the matter lies in. Does 陛xià want to see blood or not?

If it's just a light tap, why do you want the brocade guard to be dispatched? This is obviously killing chickens with a knife. But if you really want to make a fuss, wouldn't it delay the shipyard's construction period? People are panicking, how can this ship be built?

At present, His Majesty is asking about the construction period day and night, and it is expected that he is dissatisfied with the shipyard's procrastination, so he wants to beat, but His Majesty's mind is mostly unwilling to raise the stick high and fall gently. After all, he provoked the emperor Lao Tzu, but there was no good fruit to eat; However, the construction period cannot be delayed, and the production of the shipyard cannot be stopped. The degree here needs to be carefully weighed, light, the palace is not satisfied, and it is heavy. delayed the great event of the Son of Heaven. It's doing it yourself. But where is this degree?

Even after figuring out the Sacred Heart for so many years, Ji Gang felt a little embarrassed.

But...... It's not like there's no way.

At this time, there was a official outside and said: "Command the servant Lord Hao to arrive." ”

Ji Gang perked up and said, "Please come in." ”

Hao Fenglou came in, first saluted, and said, "I've seen an adult." ”

At any time, Hao Fenglou is not humble in front of Ji Gang, not only keeping a certain distance from Ji Gang, but also maintaining enough respect.

Ji Gang smiled like a spring breeze, he was already used to dealing with Hao Fenglou. He pressed his hand and said, "Hao Yanshi, sit down and talk quickly." ”

Hao Fenglou had to sit down as he said. In his heart, he guessed Ji Gang's thoughts. pursed his lips and smiled: "My lord called me to come down, I don't know what to see." ”

Ji Gang took the will to the officials around him, and the officials handed it to Hao Fenglou, after Hao Fenglou saw it, he knew in his heart that this was the Son of Heaven who wanted to knock on the shipyard, just like driving a donkey to grind, and whipped so many whips from time to time.

Jinyiwei is a whip, and soon, Hao Fenglou realized that although Jinyiwei is a whip, how to start is obviously a problem, you can't beat the donkey to death, and you can't beat it too lightly, here, but it requires extremely high skills.

Ji Gang saw that Hao Fenglou's face was uncertain, and he knew in his heart that Hao Fenglou should have seen the article behind the holy decree, and he didn't bother to explain, so he simply said: "Hao Yan, what do you think?" ”

Hao Fenglou said with a smile: "In this holy decree, let Jinyiwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigate together, the trouble is here, if it's just Jinyiwei's business, it's okay to say, let's find out something, and take it to pay for it." But the question at the moment is, if Jinyiwei finds out something, what will the Metropolitan Procuratorate find out? In this way, wouldn't our Jinyiwei become a disadvantage or perfunctory in the eyes of His Majesty? ”

Ji Gangjaw nodded and sighed, "Not bad, not bad, you continue." ”

Hao Fenglou continued: "The second is a matter of severity, it is not appropriate to handle it badly, and if it is light, it will fall into the prestige of our Beizhen Mansion, and if it is heavy, it will inevitably delay the construction period, and it may be bad if you can't handle it." ”

Ji Gang couldn't help but sigh: "You can be taught, although you are young and promoted to a commanding envoy, Brother Weizhong is a little unconvinced. But the old man never listened to these discussions, because although you are young, you can see things clearly, and this holy decree can be regarded as seeing the pros and cons at a glance, hey...... Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, the old man can be said to have worked hard, but the sacred heart is unpredictable, so there are merits and demerits. Today's decree is indeed embarrassing, and it may not be bad. ”

He sighed for a while, and then said: "Hao Yanshi, there is a specialization in the art industry, since you can handle this matter and see it through, the old man must not add a burden to you, this matter will be handled by you, you can rest assured, what kind of manpower needs to be called, the old man will try his best to cooperate, do things well, do a good job, the Beizhen Mansion is honorable, even if it is bad, this is related, the old man will also take responsibility for you." ”

No way......

Hao Fenglou almost didn't blurt out a national scolding directly. Originally, he thought that Ji Gang was here to test himself, so as to ponder the intentions of the palace, but he far underestimated Ji Gang, because this old guy was clearly more direct than this, and directly put this thankless thing on himself.

If you talk about rectifying people, it is of course the duty of Jinyiwei, but the problem is that the holy decree clearly does not want to kill people, and if you make people half dead, people will greet you with a smile?

But Ji Gang is the commander after all, although he is slandered, he is helpless, Hao Fenglou has no choice but to say: "Obey the order." ”

Coming out of Ji Gang, Hao Fenglou didn't bother to go to the office, but ordered someone to pass on the order to the thousands of households in Dongcheng and let them transfer some people.

Since you want to investigate, you have to check it, Hao Fenglou entered the palace today, and saw that Zhu Di was very concerned about the shipyard, so this investigation should not be taken lightly.

Early the next morning, Hao Fenglou arrived at the Longjiang Shipyard, with more than 30 literate scribes and lieutenants on hand, and Wang Si also followed.

Hearing that Jinyiwei arrived at the shipyard, Zhu Qian, who supervised the construction of the Ministry of Works, led officials such as foreign officials, directors, and promotions to greet him.

Don't look at this Langzhong is only the fifth product, but in the ministry is only under the Shangshu and the waiter, holding real power, just like the Langzhong Zhu Qian in front of him, responsible for the shipyard affairs, not only the management of the Longjiang shipyard, the shipyards everywhere in the world, are in his control, and the shipyard has shipwrights, as well as shipwrights, and countless officials, more than 100,000 people, not only control the livelihood of so many people, but also control the nearly million silver allocated by the imperial court, such a vacancy, can be described as infinite.

Zhu Qian's attitude towards Hao Fenglou was not humble or unsettling, obviously he had already received the news, an official like him, if there was no big man behind him, it would never be possible to appoint this fat shortage, so he was not only well-informed, but also had enough confidence to have a straight waist.

Zhu Qian was a little polite to Hao Fenglou, and bowed his hand and said: "The adults are coming from afar, and the lower officials can't welcome them from afar, so I'm really ashamed, please come in and talk." ”

These are all clichés and etiquette in some officialdom, polite on the surface, but there may not be much respect, Hao Fenglou noticed that Zhu Qian had a contempt for himself from the beginning in his bones.

In fact, it's no wonder, even their own brocade guards know that this is just a beating in the palace, so if you want to master the proportions, will people not know? Now that you know that you are here to play fake, what are you afraid of doing?

Besides, with Zhu Qian's position, he is not willing to be too intimate with Hao Fenglou, because in the eyes of the court and scholars, Hao Fenglou is really not a good thing, and if he gets too close, this is looking for death.

Hao Fenglou thought about it, so he put on a businesslike appearance and said: "I am waiting for the order to come to check the shipyard, there is no need to be polite, or do the office affairs first, why don't you take us to check the accounts first?" ”

Zhu Qian's expression was calm, and he smiled: "Great, my lord, please." ”

So Zhu Qian took the lead, and everyone went in.

The shipyard was the size of a small town, and was surrounded by a jumble of artisans' sheds for the craftsmen to live in, and in the depths of the workshops of joinery, paint, twist, iron, canopies, and ropes, and countless stripped shirtless men with swarthy muscles walking back and forth on their shoulders or carrying various tools in their hands.

The helper commanders were wearing soapy clothes, with big bellies, patrolling back and forth.

A way has been cleared here, when Hao Fenglou entered with the officials of the shipyard, all the people consciously retreated, and even a few carriages pulling materials were also parked beside them, and the coachmen hung their heads when they heard this, not daring to look at the officials.

Occasionally, a few women's voices came out from afar, and Hao Fenglou couldn't help frowning: "Lord Zhu, why are there women in the workshop?" ”

Zhu Qian said: "Yes, it is the family members of some craftsmen......"

Hao Fenglou asked, "What else?" ”

Zhu Qian stroked his beard, but he didn't hide it: "There are some but they take what they need, Hao Yanshi, this is not a clean temple, most of them are vulgar and untouchable, although these things are unsightly, but they are also prohibited, but since the official is responsible for shipbuilding, then these little things are naturally not easy to ask."
