Chapter 58: The Ministry of Industry Strikes the Autumn Wind

Xu Min: On the way here.

...

The clerk at the Ministry of Works was crying and had been working hard for such a long time, but he still couldn't bring Wang Siqi to the Ministry of Works. He didn't know how to deliver the job this time.

"Master Wang... I think things here are pretty busy. Why don't we go to the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible? Doctor Xu will be waiting in a hurry..."

"Okay...right now, right away."

....

"Master Wang...it's time to go...it seems to be getting late. It's been so long. I'm afraid Mr. Xu will be blamed."

"Come right away!"

...

"Lord Wang..."

"superior!"

"No need...I'll come by myself!"

Xu Min looked at everything in front of him with a dark face and panted. He couldn't help but angrily yelled at the clerk beside him: "You can't do anything well, and I have been waiting in the Ministry of Works for so long in vain.

What did you do for a long time?"

The clerk did not dare to refute, he could only blush and lower his head, not daring to answer.

Wang Siqi: "???"

"Brother...where do you get so angry? Besides, even if you have questions, shouldn't you ask me first? I'm the subordinate you want to see."

Xu Min couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, and he had already begun to greet everyone inside and outside Qingyuan's house, but what he said was still: "Where is there... There is no distinction between superior and inferior officials. They are all doing things for the imperial court, and they are all for the imperial court."

The Emperor's sharing of worries is nothing, I just came to Mr. Wang to discuss some minor matters."

"Okay... Wu De, hurry up... prepare some tea for Mr. Xu."

"Drink some water... I'm afraid I'll be exhausted from the rush along the way."

Xu Min was stunned.

Why do I feel like I am meeting a superior?

Being dominated step by step.

"I'm not busy... I'm here today because I have something serious to talk to Mr. Wang." "Oh? How about we go to Baoyuan Bureau first? This place is not suitable for talking after all."

Xu Min didn't want to. He finally blocked Wang Siqi at the door of Liu Ji's pawnshop in the dusty environment of the Ministry of Industry, and then went to Baoyuan Bureau for a wander. He didn't know how long it would take.

Wave your hands.

Xu Min continued: "It's not busy or not, this place is pretty good... I'm here today, and I have a question to ask Mr. Wang first."

"But it doesn't matter!"

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

"It's natural."

"Then, can the Ministry of Works have the say and take the initiative on all matters within the Baoyuan Bureau, and will Mr. Wang cooperate?"

The tone of Xu Min's words made Wang Siqi very uncomfortable and a bit aggressive, but these questions were all simple matters of principle.

Wang Siqi could only nod and said: "This is natural."

"Mr. Xu...if you have anything to say, you might as well ask directly. There is no need to beat around the bush like this."

When Xu Min heard this, he thought it was Wang Siqi who was on the road.

He smiled and nodded and said: "You little guy, you are really smart... Just turn your head and turn around. Today, I came here just to ask about the Baoyuan Bureau's recent wine sales because of Baoyuan Aged Wine."

I'm afraid I made a lot of money."

"This is so much money... I'm afraid it won't be easy for a mere Baoyuan Bureau to use it up. Nowadays, various large and small expenditures are constantly going on within the Ministry of Industry... especially the construction of the Beijing Imperial Palace, which is even more expensive."

"Isn't that right? First transfer the money from the Baoyuan Bureau to the Ministry of Works?"

What Xu Min said was indeed straightforward enough.

Wang Siqi's expression gradually became serious, and he said loudly: "What Mr. Xu said is absolutely true. Such a big matter naturally involves too many things... Xiaguan was really busy and dizzy during this period, and he completely forgot about such an important matter.

Already."

"In this way, it is really inappropriate to use Baoyuan Bureau's money. I personally! I will spend one hundred taels of silver from my own pocket as a way to speed up the construction of the Beijing Palace! Okay... Mr. Xu."

???

One hundred taels of silver, how about sending a beggar?

Xu Min's expression suddenly changed, and he explained continuously: "Master Wang, I am talking about the money earned by the Baoyuan Bureau Liquor Shop. I am not asking you to donate money to the Ministry of Industry yourself. Besides... it is so important.

For such a big thing, what use can one hundred taels of silver do?"

Well... I really came here to fight against the autumn wind. Since Baoyuan Bureau is directly under the Ministry of Works, the tone of my words was very strong.

Wang Siqi raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Xu...it's not that I don't want to give you face."

"It's just that Baoyuan Bureau... really doesn't have any money now!"

"No money?"

How is that possible! Xu Min immediately felt that Wang Siqi was clearly deceiving him, and he would probably believe anyone who said he had no money.

But only in the recent period, Baoyuan Bureau said it had no money.

Just beat him Xu Min to death.

He doesn't believe it either.

"How come there is no money? Where has all the money gone!... Mr. Wang, let me tell you, the money earned by the Baoyuan Bureau is all the money of the imperial court and the Ming Dynasty. How can you

Don’t even think about filling your own wallet.”

"You are still young... There will be many opportunities in the court in the future. Don't be blinded by this little wealth... Don't make the mistake!"

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

"What? Spend it? Even if Baoyuan Bureau doesn't say too much, it must have made at least thirty thousand taels of silver during this period, and you just spent it like this?"

"What else? If you keep the money, you won't be able to give birth to cubs."

"Where have the flowers gone?"

"...I can't speak bluntly."

....

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

Xu Min thought to himself.

However, after all, this money was not earned by commanding Baoyuan Bureau, but by Wang Siqi's own method after he took office.

Xu Min's words were somewhat polite.

"Master Wang... I don't want to say too much about this silver. You first hand over 25,000 taels to the Ministry of Works, and leave 5,000 taels for you... From now on, our Ministry of Works and Baoyuan Bureau can divide it into 28%.

I promise that the Ministry of Industry will never interfere with other matters!"

Twenty-eight points?

"Me eight, Ministry of Industry two?"

"No...no, it's Baoyuan Bureau No. 2 and Works Department No. 8!"

Wang Siqi: I...I am a part-time worker?

"Mr. Xu... I helped build up the business of Baoyuan Bureau bit by bit, and the Baoyuan aging wine was also worked out bit by bit by the craftsmen of Baoyuan Bureau. How can you pick peaches afterwards!"

"With all due respect, if you insist on thinking this way, then Baoyuan Brewing will close down tomorrow and never open again..."

If it doesn’t open? If it doesn’t open, won’t you lose a penny?

Xu Min became anxious when he heard this, and immediately shouted angrily: "You can't open it if you can't say it? Why do you think Baoyuan Bureau is a place? Let me tell you... As long as this Baoyuan Bureau exists for one day, it will be...

Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry!”
