A piece of Jun Ling was sent to Zhu Houzhao's desk. Zhu Houzhao did not look at Jun Ling, but picked up the letter Hua Houwei gave him and read it carefully word by word. After a while, he put down the letter and looked at Liu Jin beside him: "Parent Liu,

How many times did Weibi send this time?”

Liu Jin couldn't figure out Zhu Houzhao's joys and anger, so he could only say carefully: "Master, I will withdraw 100,000 taels of gold from export tax and transport it to the capital city 60,000 taels, 15,000 taels of inner court and 45,000 taels of national treasury. However, in fact,

Entering the inner court for thirty thousand taels.”

"Oh, Brother Wei said in his letter, in fact, the tax on gold is more than 130,000 taels, and the 80,000 taels were shipped to the capital. The accounts have been settled, but I don't say anything, who dares to check the general account?"

"Yes, but..." Liu Jin wanted to speak but stopped.

"Say, when did I be guilty of my words?"

"Master, Mr. Kai is really a sea of ​​gold and silver. The King of Wu is alone in control. I think the inner court should also send someone!" Liu Jin mustered up the courage, looked at Zhu Houzhao's shadow, and expressed his thoughts tremblingly.

"Well," Zhu Houzhao didn't agree, and suddenly laughed at Liu Jin's appearance: "Parent Liu, I have always grown up with you. Being a relative is better than a relative. Why are you so careful? I know your heart, my brother Weizhi and I

But you don’t know the relationship between you. Look at what Brother Wei thinks!”

Liu Jin took Hua Houwei's letter with both hands, couldn't help but burst into tears, and said with a sob: "A gentleman died for his confidant, and I am just a eunuch, but I also have a loyalty."

"Okay, are you annoying? Read the letter quickly!"

Liu Jin looked down at the letter, put down the letter for a while, raised his head and looked straight at the caisson on the ceiling. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't understand! The King of Wu actually asked the inner court and the East Factory to enter the opening ceremony? I really see

don't know!"

"Oh, those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me say I want! Brother Wei, you have never changed, and you are still the small meat ball behind my butt! Haha, how can your elder brother make you laugh at me?

?Liu Jin, go!"

"Sister? Master, I just want to serve you."

"Look at your promising prospect!" Zhu Houzhao raised his feet angrily, then fell down hatefully, pointed at Liu Jin and said, "I'm stupid! You go to show your attitude. I trust Brother Wei unconditionally. It's not that I'm going there.

Come back, it’s the bidding for the six major companies. After the deal is done, I’ll get it back! Humph! The amount of oil I get back is 28, and I promise you 20% of it!”

Liu Jin was ecstatic and hugged Zhu Houzhao's legs, raised his head and asked with a smile: "Master! Is it true? When will it take place?"

"Get out!" Zhu Houzhao smiled and cursed, and continued, "It's still early. The problem now is not the goods, but the ship! Most of the treasure ships left by the eunuch of Sanbao are abandoned, and the shipbuilding needs to be renovated. The money Weidi just collected, haha

, I'm afraid even can't stand the flowers! Alas, this kid is just a rich boy, and he can't save up any money. Forget it, give him some more sweetness."

"Master," Liu Jin stood up, thought for a while and said, "The leopard house has been built, and the empress dowager is not here, so just move over early!"

Zhu Houzhao's heart moved and nodded happily: "Don't worry, let's check the tone of the civil and military officials tomorrow morning. My succession is still short, and I can't do it by my temperament. How did Jiao Fang perform these days?"

"Haha, the literati are still very good when they have transformed! Many people have already joined his disciples. Master, why don't you just let him be the chief examiner? This year, I can get a entries to strengthen his strength."

"Uh, is this person reliable?"

"Haha, Master, his reputation is no longer tolerant to Shilin, and he works very hard!"

"Yes. It depends on the situation. What's going on in Min Gui these days?"

Liu Jin shook his head: "Min Gui, Liu Zhang, Zeng Jian and the others didn't make any noise, but Ma Wensheng's house was very lively. Oh, and Yang Tinghe!"

"Hmm? Yang Tinghe? What's wrong with him? Don't take personal revenge."

Liu Jin was startled and immediately lowered his eyebrows and defended himself: "I have no grudge against him. I have the upper hand when selling treasures this time, so how can I pay attention to him? But Yang Tinghe is unyielding and makes me look ugly everywhere!"

"Well, don't happen to him in the future. I will be of great use to this person! No, I will see the manufacturing bureau tomorrow!"

After the meeting the next day, Liu Jin brought people to accompany Zhu Houzhao out of the palace in a very short dress and headed straight to the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau. Jiao Fang became the cabinet master, and the position of deputy director was empty. Yang Tinghe simply wrote a transfer order to get Jiang Mian over and directly

Airborne as deputy director. At this time, the two directors were listening to Yan Song's report.

"Two adults, it's much easier to do if the funds are in place. In the past few days, the craftsmen on the list have been in place one after another. The technical director sent by Nanjing has been settled and will come in a while. Five industrial mother machines have been installed.

OK, I’m waiting for the technical director to debug. Several juren who are not ready to take the exam have also arrived, just wait for the two adults to scold them."

Yang Tinghe nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Yan, thanks to you these days. I have reported to Your Majesty that the order for promotion will be issued soon. At that time, I will have to treat you! Haha!"

Yan Song laughed and bowed repeatedly: "Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness, I will never forget you!"

Jiang Mian also has a good impression of Yan Song. In his opinion, Yan Song is different from ordinary officials. He is very pragmatic and can be calm. So he also smiled and joked: "Mr. Yan, you can't leave me alone, why don't you?

Block your door!"

The three of them laughed for a while, and Yang Tinghe stood up and said, "Let's go! Respect him, just look at those picks!"

When he walked into the conference hall of the Manufacturing Bureau, the buzzing noise came to an abrupt end. Yan Song pointed at Yang Tinghe and introduced: "This is the director of the Manufacturing Bureau, Yang Ting and Lord Yang. Lord Yang, come here!"

Yang Tinghe nodded with satisfaction and looked around. The young men looked very energetic. Although they were a little restrained, the demeanor of scholars could still be seen. He said loudly: "Everyone, the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau is

Your Majesty personally issued an order to establish it. You choose here, and a bright future is waiting for you. This official Yang Tinghe, a few years older, is nothing. He just has a piece of advice: If you endure hardships, you will be the best!

Yamen, in the future…”

"In the future, you will be my loyal ministers!"

Everyone looked at the door in unison, and Zhu Houzhao walked in with a smile, waved his hands to Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, and Yan Song, who were about to bow down, and continued to promise to these students: "You are all students who are well-read in poetry,

Although the imperial examinations are no longer available for various reasons. But I tell you that the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau is Huaixi, the next important officials in the Ming Dynasty! Do it well, don’t be afraid of the hard work that will not be rewarded. I am only worried that no one can use it.
