Chapter 265
"Ah."

Zheng Xiong just replied in a flat tone, and then asked another question.

"Are Tieniu and the others still here?"

Still, his eyes were still focused on Wu You's face. After all, he was the one who stayed behind, and no one knew the affairs of the pharmacy better than him.

"No, after you left, you continued to level the land for a while."

"Afterwards, the Ministry of Industry started work, and there was a shortage of manpower. Because Tieniu and others had helped there, they were all sent by the Ministry of Industry."

"Now they should all work for the Ministry of Industry."

This is a bit pitiful, the Ministry of Industry is not as rich and powerful as itself.

Old Zhu is poor, so the Ministry of Industry is poor.

The Ministry of Industry is poor, so it is not uncommon for the workers below to have a full meal when they are hungry.

As for the salary, it was a joke. It would be nice to be able to pay the salary on time. It is impossible to be the same as the pharmacy again.

I don't know how the staff in the pharmacy is doing.

I haven't seen you for a year, and I miss you a little.

At the moment, Zheng Xiongjing was very anxious, and wanted to meet the former subordinates and see their situation.

"Go and find out where Tieniu and others are in the Ministry of Industry. They found someone and negotiated. There is something here in the government that I need to hand over to them and let them release him."

Wu You is quite happy, not afraid of too many things, but afraid of being reduced to the edge from now on, so he is happy that Zheng Xiong can explain the work to himself.

But on second thought, it might not be a good thing.

I have a low position and a low position, even if I pull Zheng Xiong's tiger skin, others may not be able to give me face.

Moreover, Zheng Xiong had offended too many people during this period, and if he thought about it a little, he could understand the difficulty.

It's not easy to refuse, because Zheng Xiong hates him, and now he urgently needs to change his impression of Zheng Xiong, Wu You can only claim it.

"The next official will do it later."

"So be it!"

As soon as these words came out, after saluting to Zheng Xiong, several people dispersed separately.

After everyone left and things were settled, Zheng Xiong was going to visit his former subordinates.

In fact, there is nothing to see. The original subordinate is the printing factory is still in the hands of the pharmacy.

The winery was taken away by Zhu Biao, and Wang Er, Zhao San, Zhang Yi and others were gone. As the technicians of the winery, they would definitely not be able to escape.

It was too troublesome to see people, and these people would definitely not let Zhu Biao go, and Zheng Xiong didn't intend to insist on seeing them.

The rest are printing plants and glass factories.

They are relatively close, Zheng Xiong intends to go for a stroll.

Without informing others, Zheng Xiong came out of his office and went straight to the printing factory.

Compared with the past, the printing factory has not changed much.

The only thing that can be felt is that there are more people than before, and people come in and out more frequently.

Zheng Xiong didn't know the situation of the other people who were transferred, but Lin Shi must have had a good life.

The first time Zheng Xiong saw Lin Shi, he felt the change in Lin Shi, and he looked younger.

As the person in charge of the printing factory, he gained not only money, but also a great deal of sophistication in this year.

Right now, Lin Shi is talking with the same person, pointing at a place and talking about something unknown.

The man nodded his head from time to time, and sometimes replied with a few words, but Lin Shi was always calm and unhurried, answering one by one, and his gestures were even more sophisticated.

Zheng Xiong approached quietly, even if someone recognized Zheng Xiong and wanted to meet him, Zheng Xiong shook his head and stopped him.

After a while, Zheng Xiong walked in front of the two, and behind him, he listened to their conversation.

"The price is not high anymore. The efficiency of our printing factory is obvious to all. You don't print many books here, so you really can't talk about the price. Why don't you go to other places to see, if they are higher than mine, then you come here, and I will still give you this price. What do you think?"

The other person thought for a while, and understood that the price offered by the printing factory was not high. Even if he went to other places, the situation would be pretty much the same, so it would be better to have the guarantee here.

Anyway, it is an official organization, and the printing efficiency is also high. This person just thought about it, and then he was relieved.

"I can trust you, and the price is fair, but if you don't talk about the price, I feel a little bit uncomfortable."

Lin Shi laughed, and he was not surprised by this situation, as if it was commonplace.

"That's it! That's easy to say, I'll give you a few more copies, and don't talk about bargaining, how about it?"

Sometimes people's psychology is so easy to be satisfied. Hearing Lin Shi's words, there was a visible smile on that person's face.

"Then let's talk about it this way. This is a fixed payment. I hope Director Lin can arrange it as soon as possible."

After the man finished speaking, he groped around in his pocket, then took out a silver coin and handed it to Lin Shi.

Lin Shi staggered, estimated the weight, and put it away.

"Okay, I will arrange it as soon as possible and print it for you as soon as possible, and it will not delay your business."

"Come here, put the silver into the treasury, and draft a document for this person to take away."

It was a pure act of peace of mind, but no one responded for a long time, and no one stepped forward.

After waiting for a while, Lin Shi discovered something unusual, but no one came over, which made Lin Shi a little embarrassed.

Unable to hold back anymore, he just wanted to show his majesty, but when he turned his head and saw the figure behind him, he was startled.

I saw Zheng Xiong standing behind Lin Shi, with his hands in his sleeves, looking at Lin Shi with a half-smile.

From annoyance, to astonishment, to surprise and even respect.

In just a few seconds, as if changing faces, several emotions switched instantly.

Then Lin Shi suddenly took a step forward and bowed his head to Zheng Xiongna.

"Master Hou, you are back."

The person next to him was startled by Lin Shi's sudden movement, turned his head and saw Zheng Xiong.

It's not scary to wear an official uniform. There are several officials in the pharmacy. Although they are medical officials, they are also high-ranking.

Besides, there are not a few officials in the capital, which is nothing unusual.

However, no one can underestimate the sound of Lord Hou.

This is not a title that can only be obtained by those who have made great contributions to the country and the country, as long as they do things and have seniority.

As for the printing factory in the pharmacy, except for Zheng Xiong, no one else has such an honor, and has such a leisurely heart to come here.

Without even thinking about it, Lin Shi saluted so excitedly only in Zheng Xiong's face.

Immediately without hesitation, the same Natou bowed and bowed to Zheng Xiong.

"See you Lord Hou."

Then, as if a chain reaction had started, everyone put down their work, and besides saluting, there were endless voices of greeting.

Zheng Xiong accepted it calmly, it would be nice if the changes brought about by his status didn't float away, but Lao Zhu was too ruthless, so Zheng Xiong always kept it in mind, so he didn't float up.

The current scene is just a basic operation.

Zheng Xiong then waved his hand.

"Don't be too polite, go do your own thing!"

When Zheng Xiong spoke, everyone continued to work on the affairs in hand, leaving only Lin Shiyi with an excited face, standing aside tremblingly with the bewildered merchants.

"You don't need to be too polite. Ben Hou heard what you said just now. You have done a good job in this printing factory."

With Zheng Xiong's affirmation, Lin Shi was still very excited, and he replied while maintaining his salute gesture.

"The Marquis of Quan Nai is very good at guiding, and the little ones dare not take credit for it."

Being able to talk makes Zheng Xiong's senses good, but that's all.

The small size is one aspect, and the value that other places can bring is not much, so it cannot attract enough attention from Zheng Xiong.

Zheng Xiong spread his hands indifferently, and walked forward.

Lin Shi followed closely behind.

The remaining person didn't know what to do, whether to follow or leave.

After thinking about it for a while, it was more appropriate to stand in place, so he stood there like a tree stump.

Zheng Xiong walked all the way, looking around, looking around.

Lin Shi has been accompanying around, Zheng Xiong didn't ask, Lin Shi didn't say much, just followed.

After turning around and returning to the far point, I saw the person who was still there.

Slightly surprised, Zheng Xiong asked redundantly.

"What are you doing here?"

I do not know either!Maybe I just want to talk to you!

Hearing Zheng Xiong's question, the man lived up to everyone's expectations, and immediately said a little excitedly.

"Hou Ye's name is like thunder, and finally saw the real person, and my heart was agitated. I just wanted to pay more attention to Hou Ye's face, so I didn't leave. I hope Hou Ye will not blame me."

Thousands of wears, no flattery.

Zheng Xiong didn't continue to embarrass this person.

"I'll see you now. I just heard a little bit about your affairs in the printing factory. This will be done for you as soon as possible. You can go."

After hearing Zheng Xiong's words, the man said immediately.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, and I will take my farewell."

After speaking, he saluted and left in a hurry.

Zheng Xiong didn't pay attention to this little episode.

Zheng Xiong asked Lin Shi after he had just inspected the printing factory and had some thoughts in his heart.

"How long has the journal been in print?"

The printing of periodicals is done by the printing factory, so Lin Shi is still very clear and replied immediately.

"Eight issues."

"Well, I'll go to the pharmacy later and ask them to prepare the content of the ninth issue and send it out as soon as possible."

"This Marquis has some achievements in Yanmen, it should be enough to fiddle with these and some achievements of the pharmacy."

"Yes."

After Lin Shi finished answering, Zheng Xiong continued.

"Also, finish all the previous orders, and finish the work of that person as soon as possible, and the printing house will not undertake any other tasks in the future."

"This Marquis takes over as Governor of Yingtian Mansion, and you have other things to do, so you have to do them as soon as possible."

This arrangement made Lin Shi a little stunned, and then he couldn't accept it.

This period of time in the printing factory can be said to be the happiest time I have ever experienced.

Wages are paid on time and not low.

His status has also improved, relying on the pharmacy, and Zheng Xiong, who has gone out of the pharmacy, has been conferred the title of Marquis. Lin Shi, who can talk to Zheng Xiong, can also enjoy the benefits of Zheng Xiong's status promotion.

Now that he suddenly had to accept another challenge, it can be said that Lin Shi was a little caught off guard and felt a little apprehensive.

When people are old, they don't want to move their nests, they just want to work quietly from here to the end of time, it's human nature.

Seeing that Lin Shi was silent for a long time, Zheng Xiong asked suspiciously.

"What's wrong, what's the problem?"

These words brought Lin Shi back to his senses.

It is a challenge, but also an opportunity.

Following Zheng Xiong is the greatest opportunity in my life, and now that Zheng Xiong's status has improved, it is even more so.

Although he was a little bit reluctant about the status quo, he still knew what was more important, and Zheng Xiong's will could not be transferred by anyone, so he replied immediately.

"No problem, the younger one is only the Lord Hou who will follow the lead."

Zheng Xiong didn't pay attention to the momentary hesitation, and nodded.

"That's all right, after finishing the chores, come to the government office to find me, and we'll talk about it then."

"But according to Lord Hou's orders."

Zheng Xiong didn't stay any longer and left.

After visiting the printing factory, Zheng Xiong headed towards the glass factory.

As one of Zheng Xiong's achievements in the pharmacy, the glass factory also played a key role.

If it hadn't been snatched away by Lao Zhu, then the benefits it could bring would definitely be considerable, and he wouldn't have to look for money everywhere, and could rely on the pharmacy to earn money slowly and realize his vision in Yingtianfu.

But it was too late, and when they met Lao Zhu's family, they couldn't be treated with common sense.

During the ten-mile journey, even though Zheng Xiong took a slow walk, he still sweated a little, and gradually became a little tired.

He loosened his robe a little, and continued to walk forward.

The training plan formulated before has not achieved much, so it is abandoned halfway.

The current situation does not necessarily mean that there is a problem with the body, but if it is empty, it is empty. This is an undeniable fact.

After Zheng Xiong walked halfway, he made a future exercise plan in his heart.

After all, there is still a long happy life in the future!If you can't enjoy yourself at this position, you will be gone. Thinking about it, you will be at a loss.

Finally, after a lot of hard work, the sweaty Zheng Xiong finally came to the glass factory.

But looking around, Zheng Xiong was completely dumbfounded.

The barracks that could still be seen from the side in the past are gone.

The glass factory is the same as before, but the inside is very different.

The gatekeeper didn't know anyone, but he didn't dare to make things difficult when he saw Zheng Xiong's official robe, so he let Zheng Xiong in after asking a few simple questions.

Before he had taken two steps, a person walked up to Zheng Xiong, who saluted Zheng Xiong respectfully, and then asked the question in his heart.

"May I ask why this lord is here?"

Zheng Xiong didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Who are you? I don't remember that there is someone like you? Is Wang Zheng from the glass factory here? If he is still there, let him come to see me."

Faced with Zheng Xiong's question, although the man was upset, he still gave an answer for the sake of the official uniform.

"I don't know when this lord came here, but now I'm in charge here. The glass factory and Wang Zheng you mentioned are all from last year."

"The glass factory has now been renamed to Liulifang. I'm afraid I won't be able to find the answer you want here."

The glass factory was changed to Liulifang, and Wang Zheng was still missing, which became the source of Zheng Xiong's bewilderment.

I didn't ask when I came, which caused the embarrassing situation now.

At that moment, Zheng Xiong had no intention of continuing to stroll, so he turned around and hurried back after running for nothing.

Back at the pharmacy, Zheng Xiong approached Wu You again.

"What's the matter with the glass factory? It's okay to be taken over by His Majesty. Why is it now a Liulifang?"

Seeing that Zheng Xiong asked about this matter, Wu You breathed a sigh of relief.

"This strange officer didn't tell Lord Hou."

"Your Majesty doesn't know, after His Majesty took over, the people over there were evacuated not long after, leaving only the workshop inside."

"Then this group of people seems to have been sent by His Majesty. The things are all good and cannot be wasted, so they make colored glaze here."
