The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 106: Duke Cun Zhou wants to teach dragon slaying
[Before 11 o'clock, there should be another chapter. 】

Because all parties were secretly paying attention, Jiao Shun's words and deeds in the Baigong Division and the Miscellaneous Works Office quickly spread in the Ministry of Industry.

On the one hand, Jiao Shun asked the ministry to collect the Taizu's quotations, which made many people despise him even more, thinking that this kind of flattery and flattery confirmed his status as a villain.

But there were also quite a few people who openly scolded Jiao Shun, but secretly had the idea of ​​stealing his teacher, preparing to memorize Taizu's quotations by heart, in case they were needed.

On the other hand, Jiao Shun took advantage of Zhao Yi's difficulties at the handyman's office to apply Zhao Yi's difficulties to Zhao Yan, using ten days against ten days to let him have nothing to refuse, and he could only suffer from the bitter fruit.

It also made the civil officials realize that although Jiao Shun is a lucky person, he may not be easy to deal with.

So most of the masters who originally thought of using others to show their holiness changed their minds in silence.

How about other people is not detailed.

However, it is said that Jia Zheng got the news in the value room, which is quite mixed.

If he hadn't just tasted the sweetness of Xing Jin, he would probably be very contemptuous and shameless. This kind of blatant way of pandering to the likes and dislikes of today thinks that Jiao Shun's actions are humiliating and not decent.

And now...

On the one hand, he felt that Jiao Shun's actions were too flattering and lacked the integrity of a courtier, but on the other hand, he couldn't help thinking that if he could follow his example in catering to the holy will without regard to decency, he might be able to express his ambitions long ago.

But thinking about it, if Jia Zheng were to learn how to do it, he would never be ashamed.

As for Jiao Shun's few words in the handyman's office, it not only suppressed Zhao Yan's arrogance, but also pushed the old account left by his predecessor to the other party.

It made Jia Zheng feel a strange sense of pleasure.

He has been an official in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and has suffered from all kinds of cold reception and exclusion. On the one hand, he spared no effort to be arty, sharpened his head and wanted to squeeze into the circle of literati.

On the other hand, I have fantasized more than once, confronting a few treacherous colleagues head-on in full view, showing off my prestige and talent, and letting them know that I am not easy to deal with!

But first of all, Jia Zheng has different identities, and there is no one who is not open-eyed and will confront him head-on.

Secondly, Duke Zhou is a respectable person with a big heart, even if he is slightly offended, how can he make a big fuss and lose his character and dignity?
So this fantasy has always been nothing but a fantasy.

But now Jiao Shun's actions vaguely made him reflect his fantasies into reality.

A lucky servant in my house can disturb the Baigong department and suppress the handyman's office. If he is the master and goes out in person, how can it be paid off? !

With these thoughts in mind, Jia Zheng looked at his colleagues around him again, with a more condescending attitude - what kind of person who raises a scholar, isn't he overshadowed by my family's slaves?
Of course, he will definitely not show these hidden psychological activities.

On the contrary, in order to reflect his literati character, Jia Zheng not only put on a posture of being ashamed to be with Jiao Shun, but also criticized Jiao Shunlai in public, which was much more vitriolic than those officials with official Jinshi backgrounds.

But after San Ya returned to the mansion, he couldn't wait to set up a private banquet, preparing to have a few drinks with Jiao Shun at home, and pass on some dragon-slaying techniques that he had fantasized about thousands of times but never used!

…………

Let's go back and talk about Jiao Shun.

After dealing with Zhao Yan's provocation, he calmed down and began to understand the specific government affairs of the handyman's office and how it operates on a daily basis.

As the name suggests, this handyman is a platter of miscellaneous goods. The various workshops under his jurisdiction cover everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation, but he is insulated from the most important categories among them.

For example, salt administration, water conservancy, ordnance, civil engineering, kiln metallurgy, and most of the royal construction business are all managed separately by separate departments.

The work of the handyman's office, in addition to dealing with some trivial matters around these departments, is also mainly responsible for processing various incoming materials-such as hair, feathers, leather, paint, glue, wood, stone embryos, etc. The processed semi-finished products are exported to other departments and used.

So most of the time, this handyman office is more like a supporting enterprise of other companies and offices.

And this is also an important reason why the emperor would rest assured that Jiao Shun, a layman, would come to manage the handyman's office.

Anyway, most of the things produced by the handyman will not directly face the 'customers', but go to another place to go through another procedure. If there is any problem at that time, it will be checked in advance, and it will not cause too much loss.

Of course, there are still finished products for 'customers', but mostly arty gadgets.

Such as kites, fans, stone carvings and so on.

It is said that there were two paper-making workshops in the early years, and the exquisite and good paper produced sold well all over the country, and it was regarded as the flagship product of the handyman's office.
However, in recent years, due to poor management, the operating cost has remained high, and it has long been defeated by private companies in the south, and has fallen into an embarrassing situation where it is not as good as buying.

So now, apart from the semi-finished products processed with supplied materials, the most boastful thing is...

"grown ups!"

Liu Changyou gave Jiao Shun a thumbs-up, with a look of satisfaction on his honest old face: "The straw coir raincoats that our handyman weaves are the best in the world. When they are distributed in spring and autumn every year, all the officials in the capital will take care of them." No one is dissatisfied!"

Jiao Shun: "..."

Is there a Dior for this? !
If you can produce in large quantities, it is fine, but it is still a small-scale hand-crafted thing.

Moreover, after this thing is distributed to all the officials in the capital every spring and autumn, there are not many left. Even if I want to use it to make some articles, I'm afraid...

and many more!

It seems that the rain gear we see every day is still a raincoat and paper umbrella. If I can manage to make a rubber raincoat, maybe...

uh~
Considering the cost, it seems not feasible.

Although mass-produced rubber raincoats are faster and more economical than those made by handyman, they are also much more expensive than rough-made ones.

Maybe it can be sold to some wealthy people?
Write it down for the time being, when you have time to estimate the cost, and then do a market research.

Also.

In addition to being a 'state-owned enterprise', the Miscellaneous Works Office is also an administrative department, nominally responsible for guiding and supervising many types of work across the country.

But usually it's just issuing some industry norms or something. As for the specific implementation, it depends on where the local officials are sitting.

After learning about the types of enterprises under the jurisdiction of Handyman and the administrative business involved, Jiao Shun also focused on personnel issues.

The feedback he got made him feel a little relieved.

According to the information I inquired before coming here, although the institute is in charge of specific affairs, the right to appoint, remove and transfer personnel is all in the hands of the chief minister.

But in fact, there are only a dozen official officials with ranks who need to be appointed and dismissed by Langzhong—basically all rank nine, rank nine, and low-ranking ranks.

The remaining hundreds of "financial staff" who are actually in charge of one party's affairs but have no serious official positions, whether they are promoted or demoted, dismissed or appointed, are basically decided by Jiao Shun.

This made Jiao Shun finally find some comfort.

At least you don't have to worry about all your subordinates, under the instigation of those civil servants above, disobeying themselves.

So busy to Sanya.

Jiao Shun reluctantly returned home, and was thinking about discussing today's gains and losses with his father.

Who would have imagined that as soon as he got out of the car, Yu Chuan'er came up to him with joy, and said repeatedly: "Master, Lord! My sister came over to spread the word that Mr. Zheng is hosting a banquet at home, and wants to invite you over for a drink!"
