The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 243: Xi Zong’s Old Affairs Inspection and Mongolian Learning
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, after Jiao Shun rushed to the Yamen in the rain, he sent people to urge the submissions of various divisions, and at the same time summoned the staff of the Department of Affairs, first issued the yamen's regulations, and then rewarded the officials in the hall.

It's nothing more than the established rules of the Yamen, they are all fixed numbers.

Because Jiao Shun never skimped on the items in the hall, he went to Xue's shop to buy them, so although he didn't spend more money, there were nearly half more items than in previous years, and the quality was slightly improved.

Therefore, all the bureaucrats and book offices were beaming for a while.

It was raining continuously in autumn, and there was no official visit to disturb us, so we couldn't help but gather in twos and threes, talking about government affairs, gossip, and market anecdotes.

Jiao Shunyuan also wanted to 'have fun with the people', but because the prestige of bringing down Han Sheng before was still there, the several ministers were all fearful and silent in front of him. festive.

Therefore, he was free in the value room, looking through the document routines compared with previous years, so as to familiarize himself with the administrative affairs of the Department of State Affairs as soon as possible.

I don’t want to have just flipped through a few pages of old papers, and Liu Changyou, who was transferred to the eighth-rank secretary, hurried over and locked the door nervously, then pointed to the north and whispered: "Forbidden matters, my lord can ever heard?"

"Forbidden things?"

Jiao Shun put down the Chinese book in his hand, and asked suspiciously: "What happened in the ban, and it was reported to our Ministry of Industry?"

"Say yes, say that His Majesty is sick and can't manage."

"Your Majesty is seriously ill?"

"I didn't say that I was seriously ill, I just said that I was ill..."

Jiao Shun couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the words, seeing him chattering like this, he thought that Emperor Longyuan's life was not long.

Immediately, he said indifferently: "How can a person be free from disease if he eats five grains? Forbidden China has its own imperial hospital to take care of it, and it's not our Ministry of Industry's turn to worry about it."

As he spoke, he picked up the paperwork and flipped through it again.

Liu Changyou came to pass the news, seeing that Jiao Shun didn't care, he couldn't help being a little discouraged, and wanted to resign at this point, but he was unwilling.

After thinking over and over again, he said again: "It's not a good omen after all that I'm sick during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm still listening to people's gossip about the old things of Xizong in the Ming Dynasty."

The ancients were the most important omen. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is not as good as the beginning of spring at the end of the year, it is often regarded as an ominous omen when you suddenly get sick during the year.

But what is the meaning of this old story of Xi Zong?
Seeing that Jiao Shun was at a loss, Liu Changyou was quite speechless, but thinking that although Master Jiao was intelligent and capable, his background was lower than his own, so it was normal that he was not very familiar with these allusions.

So he hurriedly explained: "This Ming Xizong is the rumored carpenter emperor. Because the small boat he built sank, he fell into the water and caught the wind and cold, so Yingnian..."

After all, these words violated a taboo, even though he and Jiao Shun were both prosperous and harmed, Liu Changyou did not dare to say it too carefully.

tsk~
Only then did Jiao Shun suddenly realize that while he was shocked by the audacity of these bastards, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

This Emperor Longyuan will not really die soon, right?
If this is the case, others will be fine, he, Jiao, is probably the first to be unlucky.

It doesn't matter whether it is the restoration of the Supreme Emperor who suffered from eye diseases, or the establishment of a new emperor, when the time comes, he will be the emperor and the courtiers. He, the "lucky alien" who was superior to the former emperor, may become the target of public criticism again.

At that time, without the emperor's obstruction, I'm afraid...

But Jiao Shun didn't show any panic on his face, instead he sneered and said, "What's the old thing and the new thing, it's just because your majesty is so dedicated to improving the craftsmen, and took advantage of these sour dings! It's also thanks to the benevolence of the dynasty, who wants to be born in the factory Daming, who is under the guard, is afraid that they will raid his home and destroy his family on the same day!"

After a pause, he ordered again: "You take Brother Yun to inspect the places and ask them to be careful--I don't care about other people's gossip, but such nonsense is not tolerated in the Secretary's Office!"

Liu Changyou took orders to go.

Jiao Shun didn't care to flip through any old official documents, and casually threw them aside, leaning on the back of the chair in a daze.

"My lord, my lord!"

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly someone came in yelling, pointed back and said, "Su Shilang suddenly wanted to inspect Zuo'anmen Mengxue, and now he has set up a guard of honor at the gate of the yamen, just waiting for you to go." Confluence!"

Jiao Shun was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly got up and rushed out.

Shuan Zhu hurriedly got the rain gear from behind and caught up with him, tiptoeing to put the bamboo hat on Jiao Shun's head.

Jiao Shun snatched it away, and hastily wrapped the coir raincoat around him. Seeing that Shuan Zhu hadn't brought his own rain gear, he left him waiting in the yamen, went to find the coachman, went out of the corner gate, and joined Su Shilang's team.

At the gate of the yamen, Jiao Shun originally wanted to go up to talk to Su Shilang, but was blocked by the accompanying officials, who only urged him to set off immediately, without further words.

When he left the Office of General Affairs, Jiao Shun had already vaguely guessed something. Now that he saw Su Shilang's different attitude from the past, he felt like a mirror in his heart - this must be caused by his seizure of power with the Ordnance Department!
It's not that Su Shilang is partial to the Ordnance Department.

Su Shilang has always paid attention to practical affairs and is brave in doing things, but he is most annoyed by these internal strife, he values ​​Jiao Shun, and also thinks that he is honest in doing things, but now that Jiao Shun has succeeded in taking office, he just ignores the serious New Deal. He had been arguing endlessly with the Ordnance Department, which naturally violated Su Shilang's taboo.

He didn't say hello before this holiday, but he suddenly went to inspect the Zuo'anmen Mengxue, and he put on such an attitude, obviously wanting to beat Jiao Shun.

But Jiao Shun didn't panic, instead he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's hard to say elsewhere, but he regards Zuo'anmen's elementary school as the foundation, even if he is busy fighting with the ordnance division, he never ignores the troubles in the elementary school.

Therefore, Su Shilang chose Zuo'anmen Mengxue as a breakthrough point, which actually played into Jiao Shun's arms.

Speechless on the road.

The motorcade rushed to Zuo'anmen to learn, but Su Shilang didn't ask anyone to greet him, and got out of the car on his own. After Jiao Shun came to gather, he raised his chin with a cold face and said, "Lead the way ahead."

Seeing this, Jiao Shun didn't say much, just leading the way silently.

Because the school also had a holiday for the festival, and it coincided with the continuous autumn rain, the hearts of teachers and students everywhere were fluctuating, and the head of the mountain didn't come to the school at all.

Therefore, walking all the way along the teaching dormitory, I heard a lot of indulgent laughter and ran into a few urchins chasing and playing.

On the contrary, the classrooms near the work-study students were quiet and completely silent.

But this is not to say that the work-study students obey the classroom discipline more than the primary school children. In fact, when Jiao Shun led Su Shilang to the classroom, he saw that it was empty and there was no one at all.

As a result, Su Shilang's face became a little gloomy, and some of the accompanying officials showed gloating looks.

But Jiao Shun was not panicked, and said calmly to Su Shilang: "This work-study student is different from ordinary students, and some assignments are very inconvenient in the classroom, so the official sent someone to clean up a few laboratories, maybe teaching there Maybe."

Su Shilang glanced at him, and said two words briefly: "Lead the way."

By the way, Jiao led him to a house in the back.

In front of the door, there are four big characters written in Chinese: "Investigate things to know", and there are no tables, chairs, benches, four treasures of study in the house, only a small circular high platform in the middle, on which there is a machine of unknown use, which is scattered inside and out, revealing the rusty interior. structure.

At this time, more than a dozen work-study students were gathering around the high platform, watching a craftsman polish parts.

The craftsman's body was full of stains, and he demonstrated repeatedly like a butterfly wearing flowers on his hands, but his mouth was as prudent as gold, and occasionally he spoke clumsily and couldn't understand the meaning.

Su Shilang peeped through the door for a long while, until someone in the room found the group of officials and lords and greeted them out of fear, then he asked Jiao Shun a question: "It is better to teach skills with real demonstrations, but these schools... Since these craftsmen want to teach and solve doubts, they should choose some tongues and give them."

Jiao Shun said helplessly: "Sir, I don't know. Among the craftsmen, those who are skilled and good at speaking are almost all the heads of the workshops. Even if they are old and weak, most of them have already saved enough money. How can they be willing to be craftsmen?" division?"

"Not without exception, but..."

Jiao Shun said, shaking his head with a wry smile: "Earlier, there was a master craftsman who gave it by word of mouth, and never showed it with real objects. He only took all the bursaries issued by the imperial court into his bag, and ended up at the bottom of the first evaluation."

"Actually, his teaching is not too bad. There is always an upper-middle level. But when the work-study students annoyed him for being greedy and stingy, when voting secretly with his name hidden, most of them gave him bad reviews."

"In the end, he was bluffed out of his wits, and even took out teaching subsidies to bribe acquaintance students, but he was exposed again, and he lost his job before the second evaluation."

"However, the lower officials have already made up their minds. Just wait for the first batch of work-students to graduate, and select some tongues from among them to serve as craftsmen and teaching assistants for skilled craftsmen."

Su Shilang had known for a long time that Jiao Shun had set up this system of elimination at the end of the year. At first he felt that it violated the etiquette of respecting teachers, but he also thought that work-students and craftsmen were not serious scholars after all, so he didn't make any further comments. .

Now that he heard that some craftsmen lost their jobs because of this, Su Shilang became interested for a while, first asked Jiao Shun about the details, and then found a few craftsmen and work-students to insinuate, to find out their views on this matter, and subsequent impact.

After asking, he was silent for a long time, then shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity."

Although he saw the benefits of this final elimination system, he was unable to promote it due to the constraints of all parties, so he could only sigh.

Jiao Shun roughly guessed what he was thinking, but he didn't mean to point it out.

After that, he led Su Shilang to inspect the work-study students' showrooms, dormitories, etc., and at the request of Su Shilang, he shared lunch with the work-study students in the cafeteria.

This leader does not engage in specialization, of course in order to show the attitude of being close to the people, but the problem is that when Jiao Shun used to come, he would always bring craftsmen and a dozen or so working-student students who showed pickiness, and go to nearby restaurants to eat all kinds of things.

Seeing that the big leader came again this time, everyone thought that the banquet would definitely be upgraded by one or two grades.

result……

That's it?

Although they didn't dare to show it clearly, many people were disappointed.

But Su Shilang is close to the people, and he never paid attention to these people. He tasted the food one by one, nodded slightly, then put down his chopsticks, and said seriously: "The layout of the laboratory and showroom is very good, it's hard to do it." In just a few months, you have created such a situation from scratch, not bad, not bad..."

After a pause, he said again: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's hurry up on the joint development of muskets."

Jiao Shun was overjoyed when he heard the words. Although the words were not clear, it implied that he wanted to support himself in leading the project.

And with Su Shilang's approval, there will be no twists and turns in this matter!
