Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Ministry of Industry Fights the Autumn Wind

Xu Min: I'm on my way here.

......

The little official of the Ministry of Industry cried with a sad face, and after working hard for so long, he still didn't bring Wang Siqi to the Ministry of Industry, and he didn't know how to deal with it this time.

"Lord Wang... I see that things are almost busy here, or let's go to the Ministry of Industry first, Xu Langzhong should be in a hurry..."

"Good.. Right now, right now. ”

....

"Lord Wang... Time to go.. It doesn't seem to be too early this day, and after such a long time, Xu Langzhong may have to blame. ”

"Right now.. Come on! ”

...

"Lord Wang..."

"Up!"

"No need... The official himself is here! ”

Xu Min looked at all this in front of him with a dark face, panting, and couldn't help but angrily scolded the little officials on the side and said: "It's not good for you to do anything, let this official wait in the Ministry of Industry for so long in vain, what are you doing to eat!" ”

The little official didn't dare to refute, so he could only blush and bow his head, not daring to answer.

Wang Siqi: "??? ”

"Dude.. Where did you get so angry? Besides, even if you have a question, shouldn't you ask me first? I'm the subordinate you want to see. ”

Xu Min couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth slightly, and he had already begun to greet Qingyuan Bofu inside and outside in his heart, but what he said was still: "Where, where... Where there is any distinction between superiors and subordinates, they are all doing things for the court, they are all sharing worries for the emperor, it is nothing, this official just has some small things to talk to Lord Wang. ”

"That's good.. Wu De, hurry... Tea was prepared for this Xu Langzhong. ”

"Drink some water... I'm afraid I'm tired from being in a hurry along the way. ”

Xu Min was stunned.

How do you feel like you have the feeling of meeting Shangguan face to face?

Dominated by step by step.

"Not busy, not busy.. I came here today to talk to Lord Wang about something. "Oh? Why don't we go to the Baoyuan Bureau first? After all, this place is not very suitable for talking. ”

Where is Xu Min willing, he finally blocked Wang Siqi at the door of Liu Ji's pawnshop from the Ministry of Industry, and then went to Baoyuan Bureau to wander around, I don't know how long it will be delayed.

Wave your hand.

Xu Min continued: "Not busy, not busy, this place is also very good... Today, when the official comes, I have a question I would like to ask Lord Wang. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"Can the Baoyuan Bureau belong to the Ministry of Industry?"

"It's nature."

"Then the internal affairs of the Baoyuan Bureau, can the Ministry of Industry say what it says, do the master, and will Lord Wang cooperate?"

Xu Min's tone of voice made Wang Siqi very uncomfortable and a little aggressive, but these questions were all simple and principled questions.

Wang Siqi could only nod and say, "This is natural." ”

"Xu Langzhong... If you have anything to say, you might as well just ask, you don't have to beat around the bush. ”

When Xu Min heard this, he thought that Wang Siqi had come to the road.

He nodded with a smile and said, "You little guy, you're really smart... It's good to turn the head around, and today the official came to ask this Baoyuan Bureau about the recent sale of wine because of the Baoyuan Ageing, I'm afraid it has made a lot of money. ”

"This silver, so much... I'm afraid it's not easy to use up a treasure source bureau, and now the Ministry of Industry has a variety of large and small expenditures... In particular, the construction of the Beijing Imperial Palace is mainly a huge expense. ”

"This can't be? First transfer these silver from the Baoyuan Bureau to the Ministry of Industry? ”

What Xu Min said is indeed straightforward enough.

Wang Siqi's expression gradually became serious, and he said loudly: "What Xu Lang said is extremely true, such a big thing naturally has too much to do... Xia Guan was really busy and dizzy during this time, and he completely forgot such an important thing. ”

"In this way, it is really inappropriate to use the silver of the Baoyuan Bureau, personally! I myself, paying 100 taels of silver out of my own pocket, should be regarded as speeding up the construction of the Beijing Imperial Palace! Good no good.. Lord Xu. ”

???

A hundred taels of silver, what about sending it to a flower child?

Xu Min's face changed instantly, and he explained in a loud voice: "Lord Wang, I'm talking about the silver income from the Baoyuan Bureau Distillery, not asking you to donate silver to the Ministry of Industry yourself, besides... For such an important event, what use can a hundred taels of silver be? ”

Okay... I really came to fight the autumn breeze, relying on the fact that the Baoyuan Bureau directly belongs to the Ministry of Industry, and the tone of my speech is also hard.

Wang Siqi raised his eyebrows and said, "Lord Xu... It's not that I don't give you face. ”

"It's just that now this treasure source bureau... I really don't have any money! ”

"No money?"

How can it be! Xu Min immediately felt that this Wang Siqi was clearly fooling himself, and anyone who said that he had no money might believe a little.

But only this recent period of the Baoyuan Bureau said that there was no money.

It was to beat him Xu Min to death.

He didn't believe it either.

"How can there be no money? Where has all the money gone? ... Lord Wang, I can tell you, the silver earned by this treasure source bureau is all the silver of the imperial court, and it is all the silver of the Ming Dynasty, you must not think about filling your purse. ”

"You're still young... In the future, there will be more opportunities in this court, don't be blinded by this floating wealth... Don't make a mistake! ”

Xu Min was filled with righteous indignation, but Wang Siqi's expression did not change much, and he explained seriously: "I spent all this money." ”

"What? Spent? Even if the Baoyuan Bureau doesn't say much, at least 30,000 taels of silver have been earned during this time, so you just spent it? ”

"Or else? You can't give birth to a baby if you keep the money. ”

"Where did the flowers go?"

“... IMHO can't say it outright. ”

....

I can't say it directly, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it up for a while, right?

Xu Min said secretly in his heart.

However, this silver, after all, was not earned by commanding the Baoyuan Bureau by himself, but by the method that Wang Siqi thought of after taking office.

Xu Min spoke a little politely.

"Lord Wang... This silver, not to mention too much, you first hand over 25,000 taels to the Ministry of Works, and leave you 5,000 taels... In the future, our Ministry of Industry and Baoyuan Bureau can be divided into 28, and I promise to do other things when the time comes. The Ministry of Industry will definitely not interfere more! ”

Twenty-eight points?

"I'm eight, Ministry two?"

"Definitely.. No, it's the second of the Baoyuan Bureau and the eighth of the Ministry of Industry! ”

Wang Siqi: Me?? Am I a part-time worker?

"Lord Xu.. The business of this Baoyuan Bureau is supported by me little by little, and the Baoyuan aging is also figured out little by little by the craftsmen of the Baoyuan Bureau, where is there such a thing as you picking peaches afterwards! ”

"With all due respect, if you have to think so, then tomorrow Baoyuan Aging will be closed and will never be opened again..."

Don't open it? If you don't open it, won't you have a penny of silver?

Xu Min was anxious when he heard this, and immediately scolded angrily and said, "If you can't open it, you won't open it?" What are you doing with the Baoyuan Bureau, tell you... This treasure source bureau, as long as it exists for one day, it is the treasure source bureau of the Ministry of Industry! ”

"That's the Ministry of Works!"
