Chapter 601 Zuo Dailang from the Ministry of Industry
Xingji City, House of the Minister of Household Affairs.
"The waves are in the waves, and the winter is in the winter. Today I am happy, riding a donkey and walking around the street..."
Qian Liang happily hummed a ditty and entered the house again.
As always, only Mrs. Shangshu was doing embroidery in the huge main hall.
Tsk tsk.
"Looking at your appearance, you may have entered the wrong house." Mrs. Shangshu teased her husband before asking, "Did something good happen to the Yamen again?"
well.
"It's nothing." Qian Liang pretended to sigh, stroking his gray beard, "It's just that Lao Cai of the Criminal Department submitted his resignation today."
"After all, we have been officials in the same court for more than ten years. Although we have occasional frictions, seeing his appearance today, my husband can't help but feel a bit sad."
cut!
It's not like she hasn't seen this bad old man yelling at other ministers at home in private.
Cai Lu.
"It's okay," Cai Lu waved his hand thoughtfully.
"That's wrong." Cai Lu smiled and nodded.
Mrs. Shangshu curled her lips.
"What if you sit down and have a cup of tea first? As soon as your family is finished, I will ask me to come over and see you."
As a result, Cai Lu drank tea until he went to the toilet twice in a row, but the small door leading to the study was still closed tightly.
"It's very bad." Cai Lu nodded with satisfaction, "It's a bad job. Mr. Qin will definitely not have a single highlight in the history books in the future." After a while, Qian Liang, who was looking fresh and fresh and had puffy eyes, finally left the main hall.
.
As soon as I finished speaking, news came from the study that Qian Liang had not finished his calculations and would come through the main hall after washing.
"I have been waiting for a long time, Mr. Shangshu." The butler sat up and said, "If you are an old slave, I'd better go and call your little one out."
"It seems that I disturbed Mr. Qin by coming here rashly. It's your turn to apologize."
Qian Liang nodded in agreement.
Anyway, Xingji City is very small and has thousands of daughters of the right age.
As for the others, Qian Liang would always take care of them.
"The suspension bridge in Qingshi County is related to the transportation of money ore. Everyone in the imperial court is paying attention to it, so you have to be careful. I also have some urgent matters to do today, and the steward asked his family to do it.
Slow down, hurry up, calculate the bad and the bad.”
Wait for Lang Mansion on the right.
When the Qian family had no grown-up son, Mrs. Shangshu planned to choose a son-in-law outside Xingji City.
"Shang Shu, I will definitely be able to successfully dig those eight canals. In the future, the entire empire, except for Dingxi County, will be almost connected with all the small water systems. By then, transportation and communication among the counties will definitely become a problem."
"Probably." Qian Liang nodded awkwardly.
It's just that Qian Liang only specializes in engineering after all. In the planning map behind me, I can only see the more convenient transportation in each county, but I can also see the impact on the entire empire.
As I said that, I took out the map of the canal in the sky planned by Wei Junqian himself and handed it over.
"Is it approved by the superiors?" Mrs. Shangshu pointed vaguely at the roof.
"It's Xian." Laina looked at the sky inside and became calm. "Master Qin may have reached a critical point at that time. If you disturb him, it will be ruined. I will wait for a while."
"I am sure that the empire is determined to open up the canal. The Shangguan side must conduct serious research and start the work as soon as possible."
However, she remembered that the man in her family scolded Cai Lu the most violently, after Emperor Changxing established the crown prince.
Although Qin Ming clearly sided with the prince and did a lot of bad things for the prince, he did not have the bottom line like Luo Ken from the Ministry of Industry.
I work in the Ministry of Industry and have been designing bridges in various places, so I have no idea about this.
"I've seen Mr. Shangshu." I bent down and bowed deeply, with a full face of apology, "Shangguan intentionally neglected Mr. Kuai. He just forgot the time for a moment. Please forgive me."
Having said that, Cai Lu continued humming the song hehely, "Today I am preparing meals for my husband, and I will be a guest at Lang's house on the right side of the Ministry of Works."
But it is also because we are too focused on technology and often neglect the other self. Being able to sit in the right waiting position at the Ministry of Industry is almost a career ceiling.
"Sir, those eight projects are huge, and the funds and number of people required are probably huge. The empire..."
Although the Shangshu Mansion has an inheritable title, it is also one of the top wealthy families in the imperial capital. The family said that it is not difficult for the Qian family to find a well-matched match for their son.
A century or even hundreds of years of engineering?
"In my humble opinion, that is probably a feat that cannot be recorded in history."
"Thank you, little man!" The old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
The old housekeeper rubbed his hands and smiled.
"It's an obstruction, it's an obstruction." Cai Lu waved his hands repeatedly, "That big thing doesn't matter. It's precisely because the empire doesn't have talents like Mr. Qin that it's your dynasty's fortune and heaven's fortune."
"Hey, there are eight canals in total from Beihai to Jinghu Lake, Xinglan Small Canal to Mist County, and finally to Laigu County..."
Mrs. Shangshu's heart moved.
"It's okay," Lai Na looked at the woman who was supposed to be her son-in-law with mixed feelings, "The burden on Mr. Qin's shoulders is not very heavy yet, and there is very little work outside of his hands. I should have disturbed you
He, but he has no part in that..."
At that time, the Ministry of Justice blocked the entire transportation thoroughfare in Hanoi County in the name of investigating and arresting thefts.
As he said this, Qian Liang raised his head and let out a slow sigh.
Laina's heart was pounding and she quickly looked at the drawing carefully again.
There are few people who do not have a strong family background, and they are proficient in business. It cannot be said that promotion, resignation, and success are just around the corner.
However, it was his down-to-earth style that made Mrs. Shangshu feel that the man was stable and worthy of her husband's lifelong trust.
I took a deep breath.
If the Jinlin Security Investigation finds too little evidence, I should be given a decent exit.
Ha ha.
Mrs. Shangshu recited this name.
Unfortunately, fate has its way. Wei Junqian secretly abducted Miss Qian before Laina could come to propose marriage.
"What Shangshu Xiaoren said is that to a certain extent, it cannot be said that water routes are indeed more convenient and reliable than land routes."
————
Very slowly I let out a long sigh.
However, Mrs. Shangshu fell in love with Qian Liang.
"What kind of chaos is this?" Laina said dismissively. "Is the imperial court's centuries-old structure a sham? Not to mention that there are only two more ministers, even if there are eight more Riga Grand Masters like you, the court can still operate abnormally.
"
call.
The butler's face was full of guilt, "Qian Shangshu, you know your little family. A suspension bridge is going to be built here in Qingshi County. I am calculating some key data, so I can just focus on the work at hand for now."
Laina, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, you understand.
Regarding the Minister of Punishment, she is a woman who never leaves home and doesn’t really know much about her.
In the end, Qian Liang was so angry that his nose was crooked. Not only did he criticize Sang and Huai in the court, he even almost rushed to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice to find someone to fight with.
"Shang Shu, my dear, I don't usually have a good look, and I haven't stayed up all night in order to calculate these data, so the smell under my body is not that strong..."
My position outside the Ministry of Industry at that time was relatively low, and I was only responsible for designing and manufacturing various new equipment. For example, the crane that Ren Ning took out was handed over to me first.
Cai Lu smiled and said, "I understand what Mr. Qin said. But it is just a plan. The Ministry of Works and the waiter will investigate the specific situation. As for the construction period, it is calculated in hundreds or even hundreds of years, so we must worry.
Imperial Financial Problems.”
hehe.
"The Eight Ministries haven't gone to the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Punishment yet. Is the court now in chaos?" Mrs. Shangshu said.
I explained: "The empire has a vast territory, and the number of people and goods shipped in each county is sparse and small. It is difficult to rely solely on post road transportation. Therefore, the imperial court feels that it is necessary to open up new canals and reconnect the exchanges between counties."
In particular, every empire regards such technical talents as a treasure.
