I have to say that Wang Xu's rainbow fart still sounds very pleasant.

It didn't take long for Li Qinzai to deeply believe that he was indeed a talent, a rare pillar of the country, a rare chosen son in a century, and the light of mankind.

However, the rainbow fart is a little tired after listening to it too much.

The real social rule is that for sober people, whether they are sycophants or sycophants, they know to each other that it is good to listen to these words and be happy.

If anyone really believes in these sycophants, they are lacking in heart.

In the side hall in the front yard of the Li family, after the guest and the host chatted for a while, Li Qinzai looked at his expression and found that this prisoner really had no other purpose than to worship the mountain and pat himself on the back today.

The mountain also worshipped, and the sycophant also received it, so Li Qinzai planned to send off the guests.

You can't take care of the food, can you? Don't make the relationship between superiors and subordinates too close, and give others a wrong signal that they really accept him as a confidant.

Seeing Li Qinzai covering his mouth and yawning inadvertently, Wang Xu was undoubtedly a very discerning person, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

Li Qinzai's spirits perked up, and he pretended to hold on: "Huh? Wang Jiancheng is leaving? Don't you stay for a light meal? ”

Wang Xu's eyes lit up.

The light meals of the British government can be regarded as officialdom qualifications when you say it!

Seeing Wang Xu's hesitation, Li Qinzai secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly regretted: "It's unfortunate today, my son is stubborn, he burned the kitchen in the house in the morning, and the fire has just been extinguished, so I have to leave Wang Jian Cheng to eat next time." ”

Raising a child is not only used to prevent old age, but also used to carry the black pot at critical moments, and the son who just picked it up yesterday will come in handy today.

Wang Jian Cheng smiled and didn't dare to say anything.

As soon as he stepped out of the hall before leaving, Wang Xu's footsteps suddenly paused, turned around and said with a smile: "Young Eunuch Li, the lower official remembered one thing, half a month ago, he sent a batch of pig iron to the Lieutenant Colonel's Office, which is about 20,000 catties, and asked Young Eunuch Li to decide." ”

Li Qinzai was puzzled: "Will be a prisoner...... Didn't you build a house? What did they do with pig iron to the ordnance warden? ”

Wang Xu was taken aback, and his face suddenly became a little ugly: "Young Eunuch Li, you ...... I don't know much about the functions of the DPRK and the Central Government, right? ”

Li Qinzai glanced at him: "I don't understand, what?" Am I proud? ”

Wang Xu said with a smile: "As soon as Young Eunuch Li entered the officialdom, it is inevitable that he will not understand. The superintendent is not only to build a house, but also to take charge of many affairs, divided into the left and right lieutenant colonel offices, as well as the Zhen official office, in charge of ordnance, masonry, civil engineering, ceramics, craftsmen, as well as palace stables, war houses, and so on. ”

"Among them, the lieutenant colonel's office is the official office in charge of ordnance."

Li Qinzai was puzzled: "The lieutenant colonel is in charge of the ordnance, and our ordnance supervisor is also in charge of the ordnance, don't the two functions coincide?" Who's in charge of whom? ”

"The lieutenant colonel is in charge of providing materials, and our ordnance supervisor is responsible for building, and the finished ordnance will be handed over to the treasury of the military department for collection."

Li Qinzai sighed, this time he finally understood.

In layman's terms, the Lieutenant Colonel is the supplier of raw materials, the Ordnance Inspector is the manufacturer, and the warehouse of the Ministry of War is the warehouse of finished products.

"The lieutenant colonel's office sent pig iron, and the ordnance supervisor kept it, and he made whatever he wanted, and I don't need to be a young prisoner to take care of these things, and there is a prison supervisor above."

Wang Xu smiled bitterly and said: "Our ordnance supervisor is the squire of the military department Ren Yaxiang, Ren Shilang is old, he has been sick for many years, and he is reluctant to serve as the squire of the military department, and he has not asked about the ordnance supervisor for more than two years. ”

Li Qinzai was surprised: "Then who is in charge of the ordnance supervisor in the past two years?" ”

"The person in charge was originally a young eunuch named Sun Xinlan, as well as a subordinate and another supervisor, the three of us jointly acted for the affairs of the ordnance supervisor, after the Son of Heaven appointed you as a young eunuch, Sun Xinlan has been transferred to the Ministry of Engineering for a few days......"

Seeing that Li Qinzai was still stunned, Wang continued to explain: "The affairs of the ordnance supervisor are simple, usually the military subordinates send official documents, the lieutenant colonel signs the materials, and the craftsmen of the ordnance supervisor say that they can build as many ordnance as they want according to the above requirements, and one young eunuch and two supervisors are enough to cope with the errands." ”

Li Qinzai was relieved and said: "In this case, Xiao Gui Cao Sui, you and the other prisoner will take care of the affairs of the ordnance supervisor, the Son of Heaven has promised, I don't have to take care of things." ”

Wang Xu said with a bitter face: "Young Eunuch Li, this time the 20,000 catties of pig iron sent by the Lieutenant Colonel's Office ...... It's a bit of a hassle. ”

Hearing the word "trouble", Li Qinzai couldn't help frowning.

He hated those two words.

"What's the trouble?"

"There is a problem with this batch of pig iron sent by the Lieutenant Colonel's Office, it has not removed the ore, saying that it is 20,000 catties of pig iron, in fact, if the ore is removed, it is good to have 10,000 catties of pig iron left."

Li Qinzai snorted coldly: "Then return this batch of pig iron to the lieutenant colonel's office, and use me to teach you?" ”

Wang Xu lowered his head and said, "The lower officials don't dare to retreat." ”

"Why?"

Wang Xu was silent for a moment, and said softly: "This batch of pig iron was allocated from the current relatives of the prisoner......"

"Relatives? Which relative? ”

Wang Xu's voice became deeper and lower: "Young eunuch of Shaofu, Wu Yuanshuang." ”

Li Qinzai was startled and didn't speak for a long time.

This is clear, there are too many things in the Shaofu's management, and it is a fat gap, including metallurgy, ore mining, cloth, and even coinage, etc., all of which are under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu.

Iron ore mining is one of the functions of the Shaofu.

In such a fat position, it is certainly not surprising that Empress Wu placed her second brother on it.

20,000 catties of unrefined pig iron, mixed with half of the stone, the oil and water in it......

"Did the ordnance supervisor offend Wu Yuanshuang before?" Li Qinzai frowned and asked.

Wang Xu sighed and said: "Who dares to offend him, it's just that the reputation of Young Eunuch Wu in the court is ...... cough, it's just that the eating appearance is a little indecent. ”

Li Qinzai nodded, his words were vague, but the meaning was clear.

In short, this guy is just a bastard, relying on a sister who is the queen, who is an official in the court, and he doesn't care what others think of him, he just wants to make money.

There was no resentment in the past, and there was no enmity in the near future, Wu Yuanshuang just wanted to make a big deal in this batch of pig iron.

This batch of pig iron was allocated half a month ago, when Li Qinzai had not yet been appointed as the young superintendent of the ordnance superintendent, and the superintendent was sick in bed, which means that the ordnance superintendent half a month ago basically had no steward who could handle it except for the young superintendent named Sun Xinlan.

Thinking about it deeply, that young eunuch Sun Xinlan may not be able to get out of this matter, maybe he is in harmony with Wu Yuanshuang, so the ordnance supervisor got 20,000 catties of parallel pig iron.

"Who ordered that batch of pig iron?" Li Qinzai asked.

Wang Xu said in a low voice: "Young Eunuch Sun Xinlan." ”

Li Qinzai sighed, as expected.

Well, that's a big hassle.

Wang Xu, this dog thing, is really an old oilman in officialdom, and he shoots it as if he doesn't want money, but he sent him a thunder backhand.

Empress Wu's brother is not easy to mess with, and if she really wants to return the pig iron, as the grandson of Li Qinzai's British princess, I am afraid that she will have to weigh the weight.

If this enmity is settled, it will bury a disaster for yourself.

What's even more aggrieved is that Li Qinzai can't even move Sun Xinlan, because moving him is equivalent to moving Wu Yuanshuang.

I have to say that everything was good in the Tang Dynasty during the Li Zhi period, but those guys surnamed Wu were really rat feces and spoiled a good pot of soup.

Wang Xu sighed and said: "Sun Xinlan has no fear, I heard that he has already hooked up with Wu Yuanshuang, and I don't know what promise Wu Yuanshuang made to him, he dared to accept this batch of pig iron on behalf of the ordnance superintendent, and afterwards he was transferred, leaving a huge trouble for the ordnance superintendent." ”

"That batch of pig iron is still in the warehouse of the ordnance superintendent, and no one dares to move, but seeing that the Tang Dynasty Wangshi is marching north to Tiele, in addition to grain and grass, the ordnance must also be replenished at any time in logistics, presumably it won't be long before the military department will let the ordnance superintendent build."

"Once the Ministry of War has written, 20,000 catties of pig iron is a big trouble, if the Ministry of War can't match the two catties of pig iron, people don't care if they refine it or not, since the ordnance supervisor has received it, the Ministry of War will ask the ordnance supervisor for the crime."

"Young Eunuch Li, now you are the only one who supervises the ordnance, and I ask the young eunuch to help."

Li Qinzai leaned back and said: "This batch of pig iron is none of my business, I didn't become a young eunuch half a month ago, there is a debtor and a master, who collects it, you go to whom." ”

I am familiar with shirking responsibility, and I have a social animal experience in my last life, and I haven't learned anything else, but I can throw a good pot.

Besides, it was none of his business, and Li Zhi had already promised not to enter the court, not to enter the agency, and not to take care of the government. The sky of the armory prison is not to blame on him.
