Dai Zong used to come to the engineering officer a lot of times, but usually he came alone, and Wang Axe was frightened when he saw a fresh face in the car.

"This is ......"

"This is the subordinate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he wants to meet Ma Envoy Jun with me today."

Ma Yuanjun is Ma Yanshou, a native of Liang Guo, a Changyi Gongguan, and a technical official obsessed with various different crafts.

"This Yi Cao looks very young, and the villain also spent a few months in the Prime Minister's Mansion last year, and it seems that he hasn't seen you."

"The envoy has just been promoted, and it doesn't look strange to be raw."

After Dai Zong finished speaking, Liu He took out the small official seal from his arms and shook it in front of Wang Axe.

Of course, Wang Axe recognized the official seal, and hurriedly took a step back and said, "The villain has offended the envoy." ”

"No need to be polite, can we go in?" Liu He asked lightly.

"Of course." Wang Axe waved his hand, and the pavilion guards guarding in front of the car naturally got out of the way.

The carriage drove into the Public Works' Office.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, Wang Axe was still a little puzzled, this Cao Cao looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, this is too young, it's really weird.

But Wang Axe, who had been in Chang'an, had seen a lot of bloody rain, and he knew that it might not be a good thing for him to study some things too deeply, so he didn't think about it anymore.

On the other side, Ma Yanshou, who was staring at the craftsmen making a batch of lacquerware, hurriedly walked towards the government office, and there were craftsmen greeting him along the road, but he didn't have time to answer.

Because he was walking in such a hurry, he almost kicked off his shoes several times.

When Ma Yanshou walked into the main hall of the Industrial Government Office with a sweaty face, he saw Dai Zong standing next to him and Liu He standing in the middle with his back hand at a glance.

Without bothering to wipe the sweat on his forehead, this Ma Yanshou knelt down, made a big salute to Liu He's back, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaguan Ma Yanshou asks Xia'an." ”

The reason why Ma Yanshou's voice trembled was not because he was a thief, but because he admired Liu He too much: this Ma Yanshou can be said to be Liu He's number one fan.

For a technical official like Ma Yanshou, Liu He's drawings one after another are enough to convince him.

"Ma Yuanjun, you are a senior official with a rank of 400 stones, how can you bow down to my subordinates who are only 200 stones, hurry up and let people see what kind of system they are."

Liu He's words were purely teasing, and he didn't even turn around.

"Because you are the ...... of the temple Door ......"

Ma Yanshou was not good at talking, and he couldn't cope with the set of rules of officialdom, and he was so embarrassed by Liu He that he didn't know how to speak.

"Dai Yuanjun, help Ma Yuanjun up."

"Yui!"

Dai Zong helped Ma Yanshou up from the ground with some force.

Liu He only turned around at this time and looked at Ma Yanshou expressionlessly.

On weekdays, Liu He is very friendly to everyone, and rarely gets angry, so that most people forget that he is the king of a country.

However, this horse will not forget his life, because the dozens of evil slaves who were distributed from the palace are still working on the hardest work.

He clearly remembered that when these evil slaves came, they were all beaten to the flesh, and they kept shouting "Your Highness spares your life" in their mouths.

Although Ma Yanshou is not good at talking, he is by no means a stupid person, as soon as he saw Liu He's dark face, he understood that he must have done something wrong.

But he didn't dare to kneel down again, so he had to squeeze out a smile and asked, "The subordinates seem to be a little unhappy today, and I don't know what the subordinates are doing badly." ”

"What does Ma Yuanjun think he didn't do well?"

"Is it that Zeng Langzhong's trial production of the pedal spinning wheel has been delayed, there is a reason for it, and please listen to my explanation."

Ma Yanshou asked tentatively, the sweat on his forehead was even more, and when he saw that Liu He didn't question him, he had the courage to go down.

"A month ago, Lieutenant Wang Ji was going to send troops to exterminate the water bandits in Onozawa, and many craftsmen were transferred to repair the ship, so the construction period of the trial construction of the pedal spinning wheel was delayed......"

"Don't worry, the contemptible people will arrange it immediately, and ensure that the pedal spinning wheel will be made within ten days."

"Assisting Lieutenant Wang Ji in repairing the warship, that is your business, and the trial production of the pedal spinning wheel is just a favor for me, public before private, blameless."

"That'...... This is why...... "Ma Yanshou wanted to cry without tears, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only look at Dai Zong pitifully and ask for help.

Dai Zong and Ma Yanshou usually have a good relationship, so they decided to give him a hand, so they said: "My subordinates are here for the pattern." ”

"Pattern, what pattern?" Ma Yanshou still heard it in a fog.

"The engineer of Changyi County, in the name of his subordinates, asked those woodsmiths who took the pattern to pay a miscellaneous fee, and a pattern would have to pay 20,000 yuan a year, and it would have to be paid every year."

As soon as Dai Zong's words were finished, this Ma Yanshou immediately understood, and his face was red for a while and white for a while.

"Door, under the door, the lower officials are indeed doing what you say, so that no one is allowed to collect money from the carpentry workshop that receives the drawings."

Liu He looked at Ma Yanshou, who was stammering more and more, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, but he could only continue: "Then you have to think about why they dare to disobey your orders." ”

"This, these shafts dare to lie to me, I am bound to ask them to find out."

"If Ma Yuanjun can't do what I asked, then there will be a new pattern in the future, and I won't use it anymore."

"The door, the door, you can't do it, this has a new pattern must let the lower officials see, the lower officials want you to promise, within three days, immediately let the Changyi County Engineer return the money, and severely reprimand, so that they will never do it again!"

This Ma Yanshou is the most obsessed with all kinds of patterns, to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and not letting him see new patterns is even more ruthless than killing him.

Watching Ma Yanshou swear again and again, Liu He's attitude finally softened, and he continued: "Let the engineering officials of Changyi County personally send the money to the door, and apologize." ”

"Bear, bear the guilt of Jing petition, the lower official must let him bear the guilt of Jing petition."

Liu He finally nodded with satisfaction, which gave Ma Yanshou, who was already sweating all over his face, finally a chance to wipe his sweat.

"This matter will be put aside, I came today to see those evil slaves, and asked Ma Yuanjun to bring them here for me to see."

"All of them?"

"Well, all of them."

"They are scattered in different places in the department, and they need to be found one by one, and the subordinates will sit down first, take a sip of tea, and the lower officials will send someone to find them."

"Well, the tea is free, go and come back quickly."

"No."

After answering this, Ma Yanshou hurriedly gathered people to find these evil slaves who had "endured all the hardships".
