Chapter 498: Making Bricks and Laying Names

After reporting the corresponding work to Zhu Yuanzhang, Lu Ning couldn't wait to return to his home.

After all, this is half a year, and several ladies in the family are about to give birth.

Besides, I don't know how long I can stay at home this time, and I have to go on a business trip for a long time.

Therefore, serving a few wives at home is also the duty of a man.

After returning, Qi Miaoyi and Lady Goodna, who were the chief stewards of the palace, quickly reported to him the recent events in the palace.

Lu Ning casually took out two treasure bills, both with a face value of five thousand taels, and gave one to each person.

"You can buy some cosmetics and other things, I am not in the palace during this time, and it is too much to worry about you to deal with big and small matters."

Qi Miaoyi and Lady Goodna had already regarded Lu Ning as their master.

Hearing him so polite, he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he hurriedly wanted to kowtow to thank him, but was pulled up by Lu Ning.

Lu Ning stayed in the three ladies' rooms for a while, and found that because they were about to give birth, they were not in the mood to laugh with themselves.

Still, he has enough patience with everyone.

Just as he was preparing to invent something for his soon-to-be-born child, Fauber suddenly came in.

He knew that it was rare for the young master to come back once, and then he hadn't been able to say a few more words to the ladies, so it was not good to come and disturb him at this time.

So, he said to Lu Ning with some hesitation.

"Young master, there is an adult from the Ministry of Engineering outside, who wants to report to you the construction progress of Fengyang, do you want to meet him?"

If it were an official in other aspects, Lu Ningnian would probably not see him.

However, now that he is in charge of the construction of the Fengyang Palace, if there is a basket, it will be a big thing.

Someone from the Ministry of Industry came to look for him, and it was not appropriate to hide from him, so he said to Fauber.

"Everyone has come to the house, and it's not appropriate to see him, so lead him to the living room, I'll see him later, by the way, put on some sour plum soup and snacks and the like, don't hang others."

After a while, Lu Ning changed into a court dress and came to the living room.

The official waiting there looked to be a middle-aged man in his forties, and the patch uniform he was wearing was a peacock, proving that he was a third-grade official.

The left attendant of the Ministry of Industry is a relative of the emperor, so this person should be the right attendant of the Ministry of Labor.

Before Lu Ning could open his mouth to say hello, the other party was first deeply confused, and then said very politely.

"See His Royal Highness the King of Changning, the next official is Li Dahai, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and this time I came to report to His Royal Highness on the construction progress of the Fengyang Palace."

Lu Ning nodded with a smile, then raised his hand and said.

"Lord Li, looking at your red face, you should be very happy, presumably everything is going well in the Fengyang Palace, or it has been successfully completed!"

Li Dahai was also very happy, and he also replied with excitement.

"What His Highness said is not bad at all, the palace has already completed the preliminary works, and in another month, it will be all successfully completed."

Lu Ning nodded, and then he said very approvingly.

"Then Lord Li came this time, do you want me to say hello to the Department of Domestic Products, give you some more project money, or do you have any other requirements, just say it, as long as it is within my authority, I will definitely help you."

In fact, it is reasonable for Lu Ning to think so, after all, no one in the world visits his boss, just for small talk.

This Li Dahai came this time, obviously to report the progress of the project to himself, but in fact, it is estimated that he also wants to get some more money.

Lu Ning directly made his words clear, and he also thought that there would be no twists and turns in the follow-up, so that there would be a lot less trouble.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Ning's voice fell, Li Dahai shook his head and said solemnly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Changning, the lower officials are not here to ask you for money this time, I am just here to recommend you a person, this person is a talent I just discovered."

Hearing Li Dahai say this, Lu Ning was interested, and he asked with a smile.

"This is very interesting, you are a squire of the Ministry of Works, but you can recommend talents for the imperial court, which is much better than those officials in the Ministry of Officials."

In fact, Lu Ning's words were somewhat ridiculous, after all, this Li Dahai and himself were not familiar with each other, but he wanted to recommend talents to himself.

This is indeed a bit of a duck on the shelves, Li Dahai didn't seem to care about Lu Ning's ridicule, just said with a smile.

"This person is indeed a talent, but he is only a small county government secretary and a nine-grade official, but on the construction site he is responsible for, the construction level is the highest quality."

At this time, Lu Ning was indeed interested, and then he asked Li Dahai.

"Then why can Master Li deduce from this that there is anything outstanding about this master book! Could it be a coincidence? ”

Li Dahai replied to Lu Ning with a smile.

"Because he had the brick-making craftsmen put the name on each brick, even the origin of the craftsman and the name and position of the person who supervised the brick-making, he was the best choice within his scope of responsibility, and there was no inferior one."

At this time, Lu Ning was also very surprised, and he said immediately.

"This is indeed a talent, with this way, all craftsmen dare not be lazy, because as long as there is a problem with any city brick, people can be held accountable at any time, which is really a good way!"

After listening to Lu Ning's praise, Li Dahai added a sentence.

"Actually, it's not over here, I heard that the master bookkeeper told the craftsmen that if there is a problem with these city bricks, they will naturally be held accountable according to the bricks, and if there is no problem, then their names will be immortal forever with the palace."

When Lu Ning heard this, he instantly felt that this person was not only a talent, but also a great talent.

Because this ability is really very powerful, it can solve a problem from the root, and it can also be used in a flickering way, which makes people feel very comfortable.
