Coming out of Yuxiu Palace, Ying Feiyu thought of using the Golden House to pave the road and repair the bridge, so he went to the Ministry of Engineering to discuss with Meng Tian.

"Your Majesty, it's a good thing to build bridges and pave the way for the people, but the old minister will already reach retirement age next month, if he takes over this matter now, the project will not be over by then, I'm afraid that Shangshu, who has just taken office, will not be able to find a clue for a while!"

After Meng Tian learned of Ying Feiyu's intention, he said with some embarrassment.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but he's afraid that when it comes to the handover, there will be something wrong with the project.

Building bridges and paving roads is not a trivial matter, once it is not done well, the people will complain!

It's not like building a house or a factory.

Even if you stop for a while, it won't have much of an impact!

"Huh? Meng Shangshu is going to retire next month? ”

Ying Feiyu was stunned.

"Yes! In the past few months since His Majesty left, the old minister has reported to the Emperor, and the Emperor said that he will discuss it when you come back! The old minister is waiting for His Majesty to start the morning court and report to His Majesty! The folds are all written! ”

After speaking, Meng Tian directly picked up a copy of the recital on the table and handed it to Ying Feiyu.

Ying Feiyu only glanced at it, pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That...... Meng Shangshu, look at Feng Quji, he will be sixty years old next year, and he is still helping in the Ministry of Education! There are also two fathers-in-law who have retired, but there is something wrong with the imperial court, isn't it still obligatory to come to Yizhou? ”

"There are only a few of you left in the court! Those newcomers lack exercise, and if they are directly promoted to Shangshu, I am not at ease! ”

"At yesterday's banquet, I have already promised to use Liu Bang's golden house to pave the way for the people to build bridges, it is estimated that the news has already spread at this time, if there is no movement for a long time, will I not lose my trust in the people?"

"Just like Meng Shangshu said, if the project is changed in the middle of the project, I am afraid that it will affect the progress of the project! If the progress is slow, it will cause inconvenience to the people's lives, and if the maintenance is not complete, there will be people complaining, and then things will not be good! ”

Hearing that Meng Tian was going to retire, Ying Feiyu crackled and said a bunch of big truths, and directly said that Meng Tian was in the circle, and could only nod again and again.

"Therefore, Meng Shangshu will delay his retirement for half a year, and after this wave of bridge repair and paving is completed, it is not too late to retire!"

After going around in circles for a long time, Ying Feiyu finally said his true purpose.

"Hmmm! Forehead...... No, no, no, it's not going to work! ”

Meng Tian nodded subconsciously, but then he reacted to what he said, and quickly shook his head and refused, "Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister is unwilling to contribute to the court, but that he can't violate the court system!" The retirement system was proposed by His Majesty, and no exception has ever been made so far, and no exception can be made because of the old ministers! ”

What he was worried about was that from the beginning of his life, more and more people wanted to work for a few more years in the future, wouldn't it be back to the past?

If you don't retire, how can young people have the opportunity to exercise?

It's all some old ideas, how can the imperial court develop?

"Hmmm! That makes sense......! ”

Ying Feiyu thought for a moment and nodded, "In this way, Meng Shangshu will go through the retirement process normally, but this time the work of repairing the bridge and paving the road will be handed over to you until it is completed!" ”

"Good! It is incumbent upon the old minister! ”

In this way, it will not violate the policy of the imperial court, and it will not delay the construction period, and Meng Tian also agrees very much.

It's just a matter of worrying about a few more months and making an extra contribution to the court!

"Then there is Lao Mengshangshu!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to be a ......!"

"Meng Shangshu has a good candidate for the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry?"

Several other Ying Feiyu have thought of a replacement, but the Ministry of Industry has not yet thought about it.

The Ministry of Industry is different from other departments, not to read a lot, you can do a good job of the Ministry of Industry!

Among the six ministries of the Ministry of Industry, there are the most people under him, and the post of Shangshu must at least have a certain prestige in the imperial court, and he can control these people under his hands.

In addition, the Ministry of Engineering must often go out to survey the terrain, and you must have a good physique!

Then there are things like looking, drawing, and accepting, but you can learn them after you take office.

But the first two things are a must!

This is also the reason why Meng Tian was placed in the position of the Ministry of Industry after he returned to the court!

"What does Your Majesty think, what about Peng Yue?"

"Peng Yue?"

Ying Feiyu never expected that Meng Tian would be optimistic about Peng Yue.

That guy's literacy only started after following Ying Feiyu, and he was able to read the military book in recent years.

But physical strength and prestige are fine.

Anyway, he used to lead the troops in battle!

"That's right......!"

Meng Tian nodded firmly, "This kid has helped me a few times before, and I see that he has some aura for the construction of the Ministry of Works, he is loyal and honest, and he should be competent!" ”

"But he doesn't know anything about the Ministry of Works!"

Ying Feiyu thought that he would pick an excellent one under his hands, but he never expected to recommend Peng Yue.

"These can be learned, and the old minister can take them by hand! When Lao Chen came to the Ministry of Industry, his eyes were also black, and now he is not handy? Lao Chen believes that as long as Peng Yue is willing to learn, he will be able to do it in half a year! ”

Meng Tian patted his chest and reassured.

"There's some truth to that!"

"Your Majesty, as you said, Shangshu's position is very important, and the two squires under the old minister are not young, even if they are promoted, they should retire in a few years, and they still have to be re-selected, so it is better to directly choose a young one, and they can work for a few more years! But the young ones in the Ministry of Industry are all impetuous, and they are not qualified for the position of Shangshu......! ”

Meng Tian shook his head and continued: "Peng Yue is different, he is sincere, and he is also loyal to His Majesty, he was brought out by His Majesty, and he is the most suitable person!" ”

"Hmmm! When I went back, I first ordered him to go to the Ministry of Engineering to adapt for a period of time, if he could, when he retired, let him come up first, and you will teach him slowly for a while! After he fully grasps the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, Shangshu will retire again! ”

Anyway, Meng Tian is also busy repairing bridges and paving roads, and it won't be over in half a year.

It was during this time that Peng Yue was taught.

"I hope this kid lives up to your expectations!"

Ying Feiyu said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, rest assured!"

Meng Yi is very optimistic about him.

Next, the two got down to business and began to discuss the construction of the road!

The entire Daqin road is intricate, not to mention tens of millions? If you want to renovate it, the amount of work is very large.

Not only a large amount of raw materials is required, but also a large amount of manpower, and it is not enough to rely on craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry!

After discussion, the two decided to send seven or eight craftsmen to each section of the road as management personnel, and then hire some local people!

Now is the end of the people's farming, and many people are idle at home.

While increasing the income of the people, it can also speed up the progress of road construction!

Where it comes to the profession, it is guided by craftsmen, and the rest is hard work, and the people are enough to do it!
