Ma Feihai immediately stepped out of the queue and replied:

"Returning to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all departments of the Ministry of Industry are gradually implementing the plan according to the plan of the previous year, first of all, the officials of the yamen at all levels are being adjusted, and the dam construction and reinforcement operations of various rivers are in full swing."

"The Coal Division is also actively prospecting, and in the process of mining, it has just requisitioned a large number of idle laborers to solve and improve the survival and income problems of the people in the county and villages."

"After the beginning of the spring of the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Animal Husbandry, we will vigorously engage in water conservancy, improve farmland, and increase production capacity."

“……”

What he said was in progress, and the prince was very uncomfortable when he heard it.

"The Ministry of Industry should strengthen the management of major rivers, and the responsibility for areas and dams that often occurred in previous years should be implemented by people."

"No matter what level of officials are involved, if the dam does not break the embankment this year, there will be many rewards and promotions. On the contrary, the embankment will be severely punished, and in areas where heavy casualties and property losses are caused, the presiding officials will be killed from top to bottom. ”

The prince's instruction made Ma Feihai feel a lot of pressure and his scalp was numb.

The Ministry of Industry is now a very large ministry, and public facilities such as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, mining resources, flood control and dam building, water conservancy projects, roads, and houses are all under the Ministry of Industry.

However, the expansion of the task requires a large amount of construction financial support, in addition to funds, it is professionals who give him a headache.

Talent is not something that can be cultivated overnight, and this unprecedented experience can be used for reference, and the difficulty can be imagined.

However, when he looked at the prince who was drinking tea with his head bowed and his face solemn, Ma Feihai knew that this was an important task assigned by His Royal Highness.

This matter must be done if you can do it, and if you can't do it, you must do it.

Once it's not done, there's no future.

"Minister... If you obey the order, you will live up to the trust of Your Highness. ”

The prince looked at Ma Feihai, who had a heavy face and a painful expression like a dead father, and said:

"Okay, natural disasters and man-made disasters are twin brothers, and only by eliminating man-made disasters can natural disasters be eliminated, the orphan will support in finance, education and training, personnel selection and inspection, and official affairs, and this prince will also pay attention to it personally, and even go to check it in private, and I didn't plan to let you fight alone from the beginning."

Ma Feihai immediately smiled when he heard this, and he arched his hand and said:

"With His Royal Highness's words, the minister's heart is much more down-to-earth, so this task makes Weichen sure to do it, thank Your Highness for your understanding."

"You are the pillars of the imperial court, and you are conscientious and conscientious, so you will naturally understand you and escort you."

The prince glanced at everyone with a smile, stopped his gaze on Shi Shenyi, and said:

"I heard that you have a distant nephew who came to Beijing to seek refuge with you a few days ago, but is there such a thing?"

Shi Shenyi couldn't help but shudder when he heard this.

"Your Highness is indeed like this, and it is also ashamed to say that the nephew's hometown was affected by the disaster last year, and he escaped alone, but like him, a scholar, he has no power to restrain chickens, and he can't do physical work, so he has to come to Weichen."

"The minister can't ignore this uncle, he has passed the township exam, and he can be regarded as famous, but he failed in the exam, and the minister plans to let him study at home and prepare for the next exam."

Hearing this, the prince raised his eyebrows and said:

"Shi Qing, you are also a household secretary, a member of the second grade, the god of wealth of the Eventual Jin Empire, who dares not to give you face? Is it so difficult to arrange an errand for your nephew? ”

Shi Shenyi's face was bitter when he heard this.

Now he is the humerus minister of the prince of the East Palace, and with this face and the connections he has accumulated over the years, it is not a problem to arrange a good future for his nephew.

But he didn't dare.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fighting corruption throughout the country, and if he does this, isn't it called a crime against the wind?

And the prince is a ruthless man who can't rub sand in his eyes.

What is a nephew, he is his own son, and he can't gamble on his future.

Yuan Zhi felt the little ninety-nine in Shi Shenyi's stomach clearly at a glance.

He smiled and said:

"Okay Shi Qing, you don't have to think about this matter, tomorrow I will ask Secretary Qiu to say hello to the Ministry of Officials, and ask them to increase the number of places in this year's palace examination by one."

Without waiting for Shi Shenyi, who was overjoyed, to thank him, the prince added:

"The opportunity is lonely, whether you can seize this opportunity depends on your nephew himself, don't think about the palace test, Lone will give him water again."

"Lone did this, mainly because the household department has a long way to go this year, and Shi Qing can't be distracted by this private matter, that's all."

This is called grace and power.

You are doing things for the new regime, and you are all in the eyes.

Of course, the principle must be adhered to, but solitary is not a rigid monolith, flexible use, but also full of human touch.

At the same time, this is also for Ma Feihai and them to see.

As long as you do a good job for the crown prince, you will have any kind of reward, but you can't be corrupt, and you can take a step beyond the thunder pool by making your own opinions.

For the prince's meticulous care, Shi Shenyi was greatly moved.

He said with a deep sigh:

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, and after you go back, you must teach your nephew well, so that he can serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the court."

Shi Shenyi's words deliberately put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of the court.

Smart people, many things that don't need to be said are too clear, and if they are too clear, they don't mean anything.

Ma Feihai glanced at his rival, and scolded a little sourly in his heart:

The sycophant who picks the door.

……

Just when the crown prince was busy with official business in the East Palace, the street outside the Suzaku Gate in the imperial city.

Zhang's father and son are saying goodbye.

"Father, take care of yourself along the way."

Zhang Bao said to Zhang Chong with a complicated expression.

Then, he took it deep to the end.

Glancing at the chariot not far behind Zhang Bao, as well as a few guards around the chariot with sparkling eyes, Zhang Chong sighed lightly and said in a deep voice:

"Bao'er, have you really thought it through? King Zhao suddenly asked to keep you in Kyoto, it was to be placed by his side as a hostage, you promise to stay now, it will be difficult to go back in the future. ”

"Even if our Zhang family and King Ning cooperate successfully, he will guard against us, and if his big thing is achieved in the future, he will not let you go back, in this way, you will completely lose your freedom."

Zhang Bao had a calm expression and said in a deep voice:

"Father, the children have already thought clearly, our father and son can no longer squat in Dunhuang, this is like a frog at the bottom of the well, I can make friends with upper-class people in Beijing, and it will be beneficial to the development of the family in the future. What's more, do we have any other choice now? ”

"King Zhao, this person, seems to be gentle and benevolent, but in fact he is also a ruthless person, I think his city government means not much worse than the prince, plus the king of Ning behind him, if they really become a big thing in the future, then my Zhang family has been developing since three hundred years ago, and now the second chance to rise may be in front of me."

"As long as I can always give King Ning and King Zhao and see my use value, then they won't treat me harshly."
