Daming: I asked you to supervise the country, Daming is all crazy?

Chapter 100 The Foundation of Ming Dynasty's Future Construction! ! !
Zhou Chen came very quickly. Although it felt a little strange that Yang Shiqi, a cabinet scholar, came to summon him in person, but after a few polite words, he rushed over immediately.

"Minister Zhou Chen sees His Royal Highness Taisun!"

"Ok!"

Seeing Zhou Chen, Zhu Zhanji stopped the movement of his hands, nodded his head, and motioned to the little snot next to him to give Zhou Chen a seat, then looked at Zhou Chen's crimson official uniform, smiled slightly and said:

"This outfit is much more energetic than the green official uniform before."

Zhou Chen also smiled when he heard the words, and patted Zhu Zhanji respectfully and said, "It's all thanks to His Royal Highness Taisun's support!"

The fourth and fifth ranks are different, and the colors of official uniforms are also different.

Zhou Chen originally belonged to the fifth rank, but now belongs to the third rank, directly skipping the fourth rank, and changed his official uniform to a scarlet peacock suit.

Compared with the cyan fifth-rank official uniform embroidered with white pheasants, the scarlet third-rank official uniform embroidered with peacocks undoubtedly had to be upgraded a lot in terms of workmanship, material selection, and details.

This is like the brand-name clothes of later generations, with a different style and a different label, and the feeling of wearing them is different.

If you have to use one sentence to describe the difference between the scarlet official uniform and the blue official uniform, it might be "high-end atmosphere and high-grade", right?
After the simple exchange of greetings, Zhu Zhanji asked the little snot to give Zhou Chen some tea, "Have you gotten used to working in the Ministry of Industry recently? "

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's question, Zhou Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, His Royal Highness, everything is very adaptable, Huang Shangshu has taken care of my ministers, and my colleagues from the Ministry of Industry have never been in trouble, and my orders can be completed in time , all government affairs can be properly handled!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded when he heard the words, and was very satisfied that Zhou Chen could gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Industry so quickly.

Although there are many factors in all of this, Zhu Zhanji is behind Zhou Chen's backing.

However, although the Ministry of Industry's status is not high, it is one of the six departments after all. Huang Fu's own ability should not be underestimated.

Without a little ability, even if Zhu Zhanji supported Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen would not be able to adapt so quickly, and it was very likely that Huang Fu would take advantage of him.

But now Zhou Chen's words mean that he has already mastered the power of the Ministry of Industry.

What does it mean that everything can be properly handled?
Isn't this telling Zhu Zhanji that Zhu Zhanji arranged for him to take charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and now it has been completed, and he can arrange anything for him.

Zhu Zhanji was not stupid, and he naturally understood the meaning of Zhou Chen's words, so he smiled, and sent a few copies of the brochures he had just found out to Zhou Chen, and then said:

"These are a few recent notebooks about Yingtian's affairs. Among them are Yin Guzuo of Yingtian Mansion, who handed over some notebooks about the collapse of some houses in the civilian area, and some about road blockages, and the various departments of the Ministry of Punishment. You should take a look at the matter of this case first."

"Yes!"

Zhou Chen responded, sat on the stool, and picked up a booklet to read.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of his chair, then picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

These notebooks were all he had just found out from a large pile of notebooks.

These excerpts were originally small things, whether it was a certain alley collapsed and blocked the intersection, or a certain intersection would accumulate water on a rainy day, and there were even some cases that were investigated by the criminal department.

It can be regarded as a trivial matter, and some of them are not even qualified to report to Zhu Zhanji.

The time can be short or long, but all without exception are related to some civilian areas.

Zhu Zhanji was found out by someone, and then he had a rough look at everything.

Zhou Chen read all the excerpts slowly, and it didn't take much time. After reading the last excerpt, Zhou Chen closed all the excerpts thoughtfully, and handed them back to Zhu Zhanji respectfully. asked:

"His Royal Highness wants to deal with these problems?"

This is nonsense, but there is a need to ask, Zhu Zhanji nodded and said:

"Yingtian belongs to the emperor's feet, and the capital of a country is the face of Ming Dynasty. Every year, envoys from various countries and foreign merchants come here, but there are still various problems in some places that we don't usually see."

After a slight pause, Zhu Zhanji reached out and knocked on the book that Zhou Chen had just read on the table and continued:
"Just like these things, dilapidated houses that have been in disrepair for a long time, when heavy snow and strong winds come, the houses will be destroyed and people will die, the roads will be crushed by cars and horses for many years, and once it rains, there will be water everywhere, and these..."

Zhu Zhanji picked up a booklet from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and said: "This is the statistics of all the Ministry of Criminal Justice cases from January this year to the present. Excluding some local cases, a total of 130 murders occurred in Yingtiancheng, excluding [-] murder cases. It happened in other places, and the remaining [-] homicides all happened in civilian areas."

"As for those that happened in civilian areas, except for the [-] homicide cases that had solid evidence and the murderer was apprehended on the spot, the rest were all without exception. Either the investigation failed, the case became unsolved, or the case was closed hastily. The entire process cannot withstand scrutiny."

Zhou Chen was a little silent when he heard the words. He originally belonged to the Ministry of Punishment and had been a Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Punishment for ten years. He knew the problems Zhu Zhanji said very well.

He had just read these cases that could not withstand scrutiny, and without exception, they were all cases that could not be investigated.

The civilian area is too chaotic, and all kinds of people gather here. It is not surprising that local hooligans, vagrants, black households, elderly prostitutes, beggars, and even some absconded wanted criminals.

The result of being too chaotic is that many things cannot be pursued deeply, because maybe a criminal you are chasing is a thug raised by a certain relative.

These things often involve a lot. If you want to investigate, if you don't have evidence, you will very likely cause a commotion.

Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and this sentence is by no means just talking. Many people who have experience know these potential rules.

It's always better to have one thing more than one thing less. If you can manage it or not, you don't care.

This is the key to why these cases cannot withstand scrutiny. No one will pay attention to the cases that have been closed in the past.

After all, one or two people die every day, as long as they are not some high-ranking officials and nobles, it is difficult for anyone to pay attention.

After a long time, these things have basically become a practice. Cases that occurred in civilian areas, as long as the evidence is not conclusive, the case can be closed immediately.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen couldn't help hesitating a little. He felt that His Royal Highness in front of him was not someone who couldn't see these things clearly.

But he couldn't hold Zhu Zhanji's temper.

After thinking about it, he asked, "What does His Highness Grandson mean?"

"Well, I mean solve the problem at its root!"

Zhu Zhanji said, glanced at Zhou Chen who was frowning tightly, smiled and said: "Of course, I don't plan to investigate these cases again. The purpose of my calling you here this time is to use other methods to solve this problem." thing."

It is impossible to investigate the cases again. Zhu Zhanji glanced at these cases. Even though he knew the tricks in it, it is impossible to pursue these cases now.

One is that it has been too long, some cases have been closed long ago, and all evidence has been destroyed in time.

If we search again at this time, even if we can find some evidence, it may be difficult to find the truth.

After all, the reality is not to make movies, nor is it a detective novel. For any case, if there is a piece of evidence, the truth can be found out in a few clicks.

This is not an investigation, this is purely a halo of pig feet.

When Zhou Chen heard Zhu Zhanji's words, he was also secretly relieved. It's better to let him investigate the case.

Although he used to be a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice Wairo, but these are really not good at it.

And more importantly, he also knows that these cases can't be investigated at all. If he is assigned to investigate the case at this time, it is basically impossible to do other things.

Zhu Zhanji didn't go to see Zhou Chen, but paused for a moment before saying: "You have been in the Ministry of Industry for a long time, and now the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the greenhouse, and you are responsible for the production of glass. , you should also know something about glass and cement, what is your opinion on cement and glass?"

After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, Zhou Chen couldn't help but fell into deep thought again.

Of course, he knows about cement and glass, and he has witnessed the magic of these two things with his own eyes these days.

One can directly solidify the originally loose sand to be as hard as a stone.

The two are directly fired with sand, but they are as transparent as crystal.

Combining the two together, the greenhouses built are even more amazing. Now many of the earliest greenhouses have been built, and some of the seeds planted have even begun to germinate.

He even went to see it himself, and found that the seedlings that grew out were no different from those grown in normal seasons.

In comparison, whether it is the fire room or the hot spring, the difference is more than 01:30.

In addition, Zhu Zhanji personally demonstrated in front of him the technique of turning glass into a glass mirror.

So naturally, Zhou Chen has done a lot of research on glass and cement these days.

Because he knew that whether it was glass or cement, the purpose of Zhu Zhanji's original creation of these two things was definitely not a glass mirror or a greenhouse.

So when Zhu Zhanji asked him his views on glass and cement, Zhou Chen understood that His Royal Highness was testing himself.

"Returning to Your Highness, Grandson, during this period of time, I have also done a lot of research on these two things. Although it is not thorough, I have some experience."

While talking, Zhou Chen paused for a moment, and then continued: "Cement is a thing that can be mixed with water, mixed with sand and stone, and can be condensed into stone. It is extremely strong, whether it is building a house or other things, it is excellent. ,"

"I don't know much about glass, but it's cheap. If you use it with cement to build a house, the house should be more beautiful. Therefore, I think these two things are the foundation of our Ming Dynasty's future construction!"

　I didn't expect that I would update so early, haha...
