Jian Shuyang was silent. He didn't know much about Zhao Qianming. It was only said in the capital that the second-place finisher was extremely talented, and he didn't know much about the others.
"Today's Nancheng is indeed rich, but it is only Nancheng. I will leave the Nancheng anthracite business to you. All the profits do not need to be sent to my hands. I will use them to build the thirteen cities in the north like Nancheng. , for a period of three years.”
The two looked at each other, and the queen meant that if they handled this matter well, they would definitely be reused in three years.
"I will obey Feng's orders."
What Jian Shuyang and Song Xing'an didn't expect was that when they arrived in Nancheng, they found that the task assigned to them by Wen Jinhe was difficult to complete. In the next three years, they would work hard and not relax every day.
After leaving Changle Palace, Song Xing'an looked at Jian Shuyang who looked relaxed, "Brother Jian, Tiger Leap City is very close to Nancheng. How about we invite Zhao Qianming to accompany us?"
Jian Shuyang glanced over at him, her mind spinning, "The Queen just mentioned Zhao Qianming deliberately, but didn't say anything clearly. Do you know something?"
Song Xing'an looked around at Western Zhou Dynasty and said, "I'll tell you in detail after I get on the carriage."
Jian Shuyang quickened his pace to keep up with him.
On the carriage, Song Xing'an was sitting upright, and Jian Shuyang was more relaxed in the reflection, "When the Queen went to Nancheng to build the cross-river dam, all the food to support Nancheng was purchased from Shuonan City. Su Huaizhi was in Nancheng at that time. , but some time ago, Su Huaizhi was called to the capital by the Queen, and Zhao Qianming is Su Huaizhi's replacement. "
Jian Shuyang frowned. The man who spoke to him that day was named Su Huaizhi, "What is Su Huaizhi's identity?"
During the conversation that day, Su Huaizhi seemed to be a businessman.
"Su Huaizhi is the only son of the former Imperial Master Su Qingli."
Jian Shuyang suddenly realized, no wonder, he had a backer, "Won't he join the court as an official?"
Song Xing'an shook his head, "It seems like he's not interested."
At this moment, Jian Shuyang felt that he was a bit ignorant. His father supervised his studies every day and wished he could spend a lot of money to invite the best teachers in Kyoto to teach him in order to change his family. However, some people were born with advantages but discarded them like nothing. .
Su Huaizhi is backed by his father, and Zhao Qianming is backed by the Shuonan City family.
"Zhao Qianming was sent to Huyue City as the economic chief. If he wants to have a prosperous official career, he must make achievements. Queen Mother, this is to let the Zhao family contribute to the development of Huyue City. Once the business between Shuonan City and Huyue City is open, , other cities will also benefit.”
"Brother Jian is worthy of being born into a merchant family, and that's all there is to know." Song Xing'an's tone was not sarcastic about Jian Shuyang's background, but rather appreciative.
Jian Shuyang: "Brother Song was born in an officialdom, so he knows better than me."
"That's because I have analyzed the temperament of this empress of this dynasty. She is different from ordinary people. She likes businessmen very much, so you are the chief economic officer and I am the prefect."
Jian Shuyang lowered his eyes and felt guilty. After only a few brief contacts, he naturally noticed Song Xingan's excellence, but he could not be looked down upon by him.
After Jian Shuyang set off, Mu Wangshu and Guo Luo also officially joined the Ministry of Industry on duty.
As a result, before the two of them could get their butts hot, they were summoned by Fei Yi, the Minister of Industry, to keep an eye on the construction progress of the New Taipei District.
Nangong Shuo was sent by Li Junche to be the governor of Hua Province, and the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of Industry was Hong Youyuan. Wei Zhengxu was worried about him, so he left Fei Yi to monitor the progress of the construction of Xinbei District.
"The Ministry of Industry is so short of people now. Why did the emperor send two more people here? It's really not enough." Fei Yi walked in front and talked to Hong Youyuan.
Although the two are now on equal terms, Fei Yi is more senior than Hong You and has more say.
Hong Youyuan walked aside and explained, "Nowadays, everything is in need of improvement. There is a shortage of people everywhere. The Ministry of Personnel transferred a minister, and the emperor did not replace anyone."
The world was unified, the number of officials in Beidi Kingdom doubled, and the official department had to take care of many more things than before. However, Li Junche did not increase the number of personnel, so the number of things that fell on everyone could only be more.
Guo Luo and Mu Wangshu followed the two of them without saying a word, because as long as they slowed down a little, they would be thrown away by the people in front of them. Walking so fast was like going to a funeral.
Stepping into the dusty and sandy construction site, the new shoes they had specially changed for their first day on the job became dirty soon after.
Two workers from the Ministry of Industry and Engineering who were supervising the work at the scene saw Fei Yi and Hong Youyuan approaching and hurriedly greeted them and saluted.
"You two leave the matters at hand to the two new workers from the Ministry of Industry." Fei Yi ordered the two of them.
After he finished speaking, he stopped and looked back at Guo Luo and Mu Wangshu. "The Ministry of Industry is now the busiest among the six departments. I don't have time for you to adapt slowly and master it as soon as possible. I will take you there in three days." The two Yuanwailang are about to leave."
Guo Luo and Mu Wangshu nodded in agreement.
They looked at the construction site in New Taipei District many times from the balcony on the second floor of the inn. But when they walked in, they found that there was no end in sight. Everyone was very busy. As long as they didn't have anything in their hands, they would walk very fast. People would disappear in the blink of an eye. It's over.
For three days, Guo Luo and Mu Wangshu studied with two colleagues on site during the day. After the construction started, they returned to the Ministry of Works to hand over the construction materials of the New Taipei District. They were busy until midnight every day before going back.
"Empress, one-third of the pre-sale houses in New Taipei District have been sold, totaling 3.21 million taels of silver, half of which were bought by people from surrounding cities." Man Qiu stood in front of Wen Jinhe, There is a box of ledgers beside him.
Since Li Junche came to the throne and Wen Jinhe moved into Changle Palace, Man Qiu has no longer been by Wen Jinhe's side. Except when Wen Jinhe leaves the palace, she will stay by her side. At other times, Man Qiu is busy with business in the capital.
Man Dong, as the aunt in charge, helped Wen Jinhe take care of the trivial affairs of the harem. Although there were no concubines in the harem, Man Dong took care of some favors between the female relatives of the nobles in the previous palace.
Wen Jinhe made himself comfortable as much as possible, but he still had to train some new people.
Guo Luo and Mu Wangshu walked in from the outside with a weathered look on their faces. They were dejected from head to toe. The past three days had exhausted them. Their legs were broken when they ran during the day, and their brains felt dizzy at night. They were even more tired than when they took the scientific examination. .
"Immediately write up a report on the current situation in New Taipei District and hand it in, as well as the accounts." Fei Yi ordered as soon as he saw the two people coming in.
Guo Luo and Mu Wangshu froze, and then realized that their colleagues inside seemed to be very busy at the moment. Isn't it lunch time?
The official from the Ministry of Industry who led them dragged the two of them away respectively. "Just now, the harem attendant summoned Lord Shangshu to see the queen at Shen Shi in the afternoon. The queen will definitely ask about the situation in the New Taipei District. Although you two have only been here for less than three days, you should We have taught you what we have taught you, and the time has come to test your results.”
Shen Shi? It's half past noon, which means it's only an hour and a half.
