The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 57

After calming down, he didn't say much, and let Wu You go out.

From the perspective of a small official of the eighth rank, it is really not enough, not to mention Fu Yin, any official from Yingtian Mansion can eat Wu You to death.

Ying Tianfu is his superior unit, ordering him to pay the money is only natural, there is nothing to criticize.Now Fu Yin uses this method to deduct some money from his own pocket, which shows that he is now in the eyes of Zheng Yiyan.

Isn't it money? Sprinkle water.

However, the previous plan has to be officially started, otherwise these poor ghosts will have to make up their own minds sooner or later. They are not afraid of thieves stealing, but they are afraid of thieves thinking about them.

Zheng Xiong thought about it, and the land of nearly a thousand mu was leveled off. The matter of laying the foundation had been thought of long ago, and now the horse can be mounted.This is a big project, and there is nothing to spend money on at this stage, so it can be done slowly.

I just do what I want, my project has always been entrusted to the Ministry of Industry, the cooperation is very comfortable, and the project can always be completed for myself with quality and quantity, which is trustworthy.

The road to the Ministry of Industry is already very familiar, and we walked leisurely along the way, the boss saw Zheng Xiong's enthusiasm as always, and the good tea was served, and the boss opened his mouth.

"Master Zheng, but you have another job, feel free to leave it to the Ministry of Industry, and I will definitely make it beautiful for you."

"Well, this time, I want to level up nearly a thousand acres of land owned by the pharmacy, so that it will be more convenient for me to build any projects in the future."

After listening to Zheng Xiong's words, the enthusiasm on the principal's face dissipated a bit. If the construction of a project like the Yamen, there is a lot of room for manipulation of materials and masonry, and the Ministry of Industry earns a lot, the principal is very willing.Simply leveling the land and laying the foundation is completely coolie work, and you can make money, but it is coolie money, which is tasteless to eat and a pity to discard. After thinking about it, I replied.

"There is a deadline for this job, how much does the pharmacy plan to pay for this job?"

"There is no time limit. The Ministry of Industry can take your time. I don't have much money right now. This is what I think. I will sign a contract document with the Ministry of Industry for as much money as I have. Your Ministry of Industry will finish the work and move on to the next stage of the project. I am not in a hurry. What do you think of the master?"

"This is indeed feasible, but the manpower of the Ministry of Industry is very tight. Mr. Tiling also knows that now that the ice has melted and the snow has melted, the Ministry of Industry needs to build too many projects. If such a group of people is deployed to lay the foundation, other projects may be affected. I am afraid that there is nothing I can do to help."

Feeling that his refusal was a bit blunt, a high-quality customer like Zheng Xiong still had to maintain it, and for the sake of long-term consideration, he made a special mention.

"Actually, you don't need to find the Ministry of Industry to do this kind of work. Nowadays, there are many people in Nanjing who can't find a job. They only need to take care of the food or pay a lot of money. Some of them work hard. There is no technical content in this job. They can do it."

Originally, I thought that the Ministry of Industry would happily take over such a big project, but I didn't expect the Ministry of Industry to have no interest at all. Fortunately, I gave a suggestion, and it was not empty-handed.

"Since the Ministry of Industry can't find any manpower, I'm bothering you. My lord, you're busy, so I'm leaving."

"Don't worry, it's not too late to leave after drinking this cup of tea. Now that the pharmacy's reputation is getting higher and higher, I still want to learn from Mr. Zheng."

Unable to resist the enthusiasm of the principal, Zheng Xiong drank several cups of tea before being let go.Although he was still a little depressed, he was in a good mood, and he still had his own way of doing things. Zheng Xiong, who inadvertently flattered him later, was very comfortable, and the little bit of resentment towards the Ministry of Industry was gone.

At the end, he enthusiastically sent Zheng Xiong to the entrance of the engineering department, and said goodbye with a smile. This kind of gap in status promotion is indeed fascinating.

It was approaching noon, and the Ministry of Industry did not take care of the meal. It was not done well in this regard, so I have to criticize it next time.I found a restaurant, ordered two dishes, and when the dishes were served, Zheng Xiong sat in the lobby and began to eat slowly.

Zheng Xiong, who was dressed in an official uniform, was not bothered by anyone, he had enough to eat and drink, he paid the bill and left. Before he could go out, he was bumped by an oncoming person and fell to the ground.

The visitor was in his twenties and thirties, wearing an official uniform, a little thin, with piercing eyes, and a sense of righteousness. Seeing that he bumped into someone, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Zheng Xiong up.

"My lord, are you all right? This lord is reckless. Please don't blame this lord. If your lord feels uncomfortable, your lord will take you to the infirmary ahead."

Zheng Xiong was helped up and moved his body. There was no major problem, except that his butt hurts a little, and it should be fine after a rest.

"It's all right, don't be so reckless next time, this time the loss is because I bumped into a young man, if I bumped into an adult in his tens of years, it would not be enough to pay for it even if you gave up your skin."

The person who came was not angry, and he deserved to be said a few words. He secretly looked at Zheng Xiong.

Some familiar feeling, as if seen somewhere.

"May I ask, but Zheng Tiling from Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau?"

"It's me, you know me, I don't seem to have seen you before."

"Your official Zheng Shiyuan, in the palace examination that day, your lord's scenery was the same, and what he did was convincing. Your lord is not inconspicuous among the Jinshi, so it's not surprising that your lord didn't notice me."

"Are you Zheng Shiyuan?"

"My lord has heard the name of the next official."

You must have heard it. The famous anti-corruption fighter in the early Ming Dynasty is also a well-known example for later generations.

Zheng Shiyuan, also known as Zheng Shiyuan, with the word Haoren, was born in Shuiche, Ninghai County, Taizhou Road (now Ninghai County, Zhejiang Province).An upright official in the early Ming Dynasty.Talented and learned, he was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Hongwu (1371), and later he was promoted to be an inspector of Huguang.Later, he was imprisoned because of the empty printing case.After he was released from prison, he was transferred to Jiang Pu because his younger brother Zheng Shili explained the Kongyin case.

The Ministry of Industry's corruption case, the emperor's nephew Zhu Huan's corruption case, and the Kongyin case's active admonition, he was not afraid of being involved in it at all. Such a clean and honest official who did not fear power was undoubtedly a standout existence when Lao Zhu vigorously cracked down on corruption in the early Ming Dynasty.

At this time, he should still be an undercover agent in the Ministry of Industry. As a ninth-rank prime minister, Zheng Xiong silently mourned for the group of people in the Ministry of Industry. There is such a person under his command, but he still doesn't know.

"I have heard that we are still in the same family. The official has nothing to do. The pharmacy has other things to do, so I will leave."

Seeing that Zheng Xiong had made up his mind to go and did not pursue his fault, Zheng Shiyuan did not force him to stay and sent Zheng Xiong out of the hotel.

Zheng Xiong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This kind of historically famous upright official had a very high level of ideological and moral awareness. After a few short conversations, he always felt a little uncomfortable, so he quickly slipped away.

Speaking of which, they are all in the same batch of Jinshi, the first and second are either the fifth rank or the sixth rank, and the other ranks are not high. In Nanjing City, they have to start from the ninth rank, which is really unfair.
