Datang: Angry at Li Er, he still begged me to come out of the mountain

Chapter 184 Self-reliance
"Okay, I'll go to Jiangjiazhuang when I have time, but if the children are asked to dance at the sound of the chicken, and then study, can they persist?"

"I'm sure I can. I just want to train these children in Jiangjiazhuang to be talented in both civil and martial arts. In the future, any one of them can be a pillar of the country by itself."

Jiang Yunqing also knew very well that neither Duan Lun nor Yan Lide belonged to those with five surnames and seven clans, so he didn't have so many scruples when speaking now, "Families from poor families should also have noble sons."

Then, Jiang Yunqing also knew some general things about the Ministry of Industry, and most of the people in it were Li Tai's supporters.

It is winter now, and the Ministry of Water has nothing to do. It can also be said that as long as it is not flooded, the Ministry of Water basically does not need to care about anything.

But, in the final analysis, when it comes to the fundamental matters, Fang Xuanling is really a penny-pinching person, and every penny must be carefully calculated to the extreme, and it is not a prime minister of a country who cares about these appropriations. There is some tolerance, so the Ministry of Industry does not have much money now.

If Jiang Yunqing wanted Li Jing to develop and train navy with peace of mind, he must do everything possible and use all excuses to get money from Fang Xuanling.

If he failed to get the money, Jiang Yunqing could only figure out how to make the Ministry of Water self-sufficient.

If you want to make money, you have to go to Xiao Kai, the doctor of Yubu.

The Yu Division of the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the streets and alleys, gardens, mountains and trees, and the supply of vegetables and charcoal for hundreds of officials, foreign guests, and hunting and harvesting. Firewood, medicine, and gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin pits are disposed of and recovered.

Hunting and hunting?

A flash of light flashed across Jiang Yunqing's eyes immediately, why couldn't they be allowed to catch them while training for the sailors, and there was Xiao Kai on the sales side.

Xiao Kai was the son of Xiao Yu, Duke of the Song Dynasty, Xiao Yu was Xiao Kui, Emperor Ming of Liang, and Xiao Yu was the same mother and younger brother of Emperor Ming of Later Liang and Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

If the Sui Dynasty had not been unified at that time, this Xiao Kai might still be a candidate for emperor.

But from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Yu has always been the minister.

But this incident was just a small episode. Jiang Yunqing bowed his hands to Yan Lide and Duan Lun, and said, "You two uncles, Yunqing thinks that our Ministry of Industry can't just see what the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War say about how we should do it." , Let them give us what should be given, we can't take it, our Ministry of Industry should also rely on our own efforts, but if there is anything, please ask the two uncles to hold Yunqing a little bit."

"OK, alright!"

After chatting for a while, the three of them went back separately.

Duan Lun glanced at Yan Lide, "Old Yan, you are the good guy, and I am the bad guy."

Hahahahaha, Yan Lide laughed loudly and said, "Jiang Yunqing is just a little money-making expert. Whether our Ministry of Industry can have a good life in the future depends entirely on him. I just wanted you to see and see. What is the strength of this kid, but you see, he can play so well with that bastard from the Cheng family."

"Yes." Duan Lun couldn't help but nodded.

Shuisi's yard is very well repaired, and there are two fish tanks inside, but it's winter now, with heavy snow falling, and only ice.

But when I came to the office, it was as warm as spring inside, and the small heater was burning very hot. I turned on the heater and took a look. Good guy, the briquettes here are all produced by myself.

Jiang Yunqing nodded very satisfied, this Cheng Yaojin is really a capable person, he was able to do business in the palace.

The salary level of the Ministry of Industry is still acceptable, and there is a lot of money. After all, they are in charge of various major projects and inventions in the world.

Moreover, being an official in the Tang Dynasty was still very humane. There were separate office areas and rest areas, and the temperature in the lounge was also warm.

Jiang Yunqing's office is a separate small room with a window. When the window is opened, it is a garden with all kinds of gazebos and waterside pavilions.

After Jiang Yunqing arrived, of course he had to go to the duty room of the Water Division to have a look. When he saw Jiang Yunqing coming, the entire Water Division was in a state of excitement.

Then Jiang Yunqing also got acquainted with two of his subordinates, Yuanwailang.

They are Liu Daozhong and Ren Baiqiang respectively.

The other colleagues also got to know each other, had a face-to-face meeting, and chatted for a while before they realized that Jiang Yunqing was here to fill in the vacancy.

The previous doctor of the Ministry of Water, because he was greedy for money and silver during the flood this year, after being verified by the superior, he ransacked his house and beheaded.

However, Liu Daozhong felt a little jealous of Jiang Yunqing. If Jiang Yunqing hadn't filled the vacancy, there was a high probability that the position of Doctor of the Water Department would have fallen into his hands.

Because Prince Li Chengqian submitted a memorial and recommended him.

Now that Jiang Yunqing came, Liu Daozhong was like nothing.

But, there are also many officials here who were recommended by Li Tai, so now it has been divided into three gangs: Li Er gang, Li Tai gang, and Li Chengqian gang.

The only Ren Boqiang who can make Jiang Yunqing pleasing to the eye is Li Er's gang. This person is a practical person, and he generally has no desire for promotion in the official position. He will do whatever is given to him.

Especially for the position of Doctor of the Ministry of Water, Ren Boqiang was also hopeful at first, but Ren Boqiang also saw the situation clearly, knowing that Wei Wang Li Tai, Prince Li Chengqian, and people on both sides were staring at that position, so he even hid far away. .

Even if it does, it won't be long before they will either be distributed to the frontier, or their homes will be ransacked and their heads will be beheaded.

Ren Boqiang had also heard of this reputation called Jiang Yunqing before. If there is anyone who is not afraid of the impeachment of the censors and officials, I am afraid that Jiang Yunqing is the only one who has military power and is not afraid of powerful people. Dare to send troops to encircle, but also retreat completely, this is unprecedented in Datang.

After letting everyone go, Jiang Yunqing looked at his exclusive seat, and it seemed that he didn't use it very much.

The chairs in the early Tang Dynasty still don't have backrests, and you have to straighten your back when sitting, so Jiang Yunqing's sitting is not so comfortable.

Moreover, the tables and chairs here are very low and short. It was only after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms that high chairs and stools became popular.

Jiang Yunqing summoned Ren Baiqiang, "There are quite a few carpenters in the Ministry of Industry, right?"

"It's quite a lot, but it's in the workshop on weekdays. If you want to use it, you can second it at that time."

"Well, let them make me something."

Then, Jiang Yunqing drew the size of the chairs and tables to be made, and made a tea table, and then handed the drawings to Ren Baiqiang, "Let them make four sets according to this, and send one to Mr. Yan , one to Mr. Duan, another to Master Chen, and another to me, except for the bed, all the furniture in my place has to be replaced."

"My lord, don't you arrange some things for your colleagues?" Ren Baiqiang was a little dumbfounded. The new official just changed some new furniture on his first day in office. What is this?
