At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 136 Zhang Yi Talks about Marriage at Sizhou Port, He Qiyi Follows Song Lian’s Resignation and Liu Yuan Replaces

Song Lian resigned from the post of Chief Registrar of the Ministry of Rites, although it was somewhat beyond Cheng De's expectation.

It also made Cheng De feel a little angry.

But he felt that was the case.

Putting Song Lian in a suitable position is better than forcing him to be the head of the Ministry of Rites.

After figuring it out, Cheng De no longer entangled in this matter.

After Cheng De glanced at everyone present, he said solemnly: "Song Lian resigned as chief secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the position of chief secretary of the Ministry of Rites was vacant. I thought about it again and again, Song Zan should take up the post of chief secretary of the Ministry of Rites! Song Zan He is honest and pragmatic, with a lot of talent and knowledge, presumably he will be the chief bookkeeper of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will not have anything wrong."

"Song Lian, you should write to Song Zan to tell Song Zan about this matter, and let him return to Sizhou City immediately to take up the post of chief secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Once the Ministry of Rites responds to the affairs, you and he will hand over the matter!"

Song Lian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Follow the order! Thanks to the general's trust in the dog, I hope the general can rest assured that I will let the dog do his best and do his job well."

Cheng De nodded slightly, looked at Song Lian and said, "You have a lot of responsibilities, and you should pay more attention on weekdays."

Song Lian nodded and retreated to the queue.

Afterwards, Cheng De set his sights on Zhang Yi, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Commerce.

At this time, Zhang Yi looked thinner than before.

Zhang Yi also noticed Cheng De's gaze, so he walked out of the queue and saluted Cheng De in a regular manner.

Then, Zhang Yi said unhurriedly: "General Qi, the port of Sizhou will take two months to be completed. As for the establishment of the port in Gaoyou City that the general mentioned in the document a few days ago, the subordinates think After the Sizhou port is built first, it will be considered.”

"If the Sizhou port is completed, the main goods will be silk, tea, porcelain, etc. in the early stage. According to my subordinates, if the Sizhou port is completed, it will cost a lot of money in the early stage. However, my subordinates have asked the head of the Ministry of Households After discussing with the master secretary, the master secretary Fang told me that there is not much money in the Ministry of Accounting, and the money of the Ministry of Accounting needs to be done for other things. If the money from the Ministry of Accounting is invested in the construction of Sizhou Port, I am afraid that the Ministry of Accounting will Nothing can be done.”

"so."

When Zhang Yi said this, he looked at Cheng De eagerly.

Cheng De felt a headache.

He understood the meaning of Zhang Yi's words.

In a word: money is not enough, call money quickly.

Cheng De frowned, and he had a headache when talking about money.

When he moved his eyes to the people present, he found that they had already lowered their heads.

Cheng De sighed helplessly in his heart.

The matter of Sizhou port really gave him a headache.

suddenly.

Zhang Yi said again: "General, my subordinates know that there is one person who can solve the current predicament. If this person is tied to our Sizhou Army ship, this person will definitely make our Sizhou Army ship more stable and smoother. Moreover, if the general is willing to choose one of the positions of assistant secretary of the Ministry of Commerce to him, then the subordinates will be [-]% sure to tie him to this ship."

Hearing this, Cheng De narrowed his gaze to Zhang Yi: "Who is this person's name?"

Zhang Yi replied: "This man is Shen Fu, his name is Zhongrong, his name is Wanshan, and he is also called Shen Wansan. This man has three sons: Shen Mao, Shen Wang, and Shen Rong. This man has a huge fortune and his lands are all over the world. He is the veritable No. [-] richest businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. Shen Wansan is now residing in Jiangdu City."

Cheng De was silent.

Shen Wansan, he also heard about it in his previous life.

It is even more famous in history.

However, this person has a lot of wealth, so he may not be willing to work for the Sizhou Army.

Therefore, Cheng De looked at Zhang Yi and said: "Shen Wansan is far away in Jiangdu City, and he is the richest businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid he may not be willing to be an officer of our Sizhou Army."

Zhang Yi was not disappointed, but gave Cheng De a meaningful look.

Zhang Yi's eyes made Cheng De feel puzzled.

"General, if you do one thing, I believe that the subordinates are [-]% sure that you can tie Shen Wansan to our Sizhou Army camp."

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Cheng De looked at Zhang Yi calmly: "What exactly do you mean by the one thing you said?"

At this time, Zhang Yi seemed a little hesitant.

But soon, he put this hesitation behind him and said: "Marriage."

Cheng De's face was sullen, and he looked at Zhang Yi with an unfriendly gaze.

"what did you just say?"

Zhang Yi seemed to have noticed Cheng De's anger, and fell silent.

not long time.

Zhang Yi continued: "General, the subordinates of Sizhou Port intend to build it into the largest port in the world, so that it can bring a lasting and huge income to the Sizhou Army in the future. However, if there is no such thing as Shen Wansan I am afraid that with the current Sizhou army's money, it is just a drop in the bucket."

Cheng De was silent for a long time after listening.

And the atmosphere present was a little depressing.

Lack of money, he is really lacking.

At present, he could not think of any other way to get a large sum of money.

He has already done several things like pulling wool from the hands of evil businessmen and landowners.

But that money is definitely not enough to build Sizhou Port.

And if you continue to do this kind of thing, you have to act against your conscience and attack those businessmen and landlords who have never done evil.

But Cheng De didn't want to do this.

Because of using these methods, when there is a real opportunity to establish a country in the future, they may be accused of injustice in establishing a country.

Whether it is to ensure the fairness of Sizhou's laws now, or for the consideration of establishing a country in the future.

He can't do this.

Suddenly, Cheng De thought of the silver mines in Japan.

Unfortunately, Japan is too far away from here.

It would be nice if there was a helicopter, so that he could transport Sizhou Army soldiers directly to Japan.

However, this is a fantasy after all, but not in reality.

Cheng De couldn't help feeling helpless.

In his previous life, he worked hard and worked for 1000 years before he could buy a house. He also accepted it, because he was so helpless because he had no money.

However, in this era, he did not expect that he would suffer from money problems again.

Although not because of the problem of buying a house.

But the pain of lack of money is real.

All things are difficult but money.

The one who robbed the Yuan army?But many people will definitely die.

I am afraid that he will have to pay a lot of money just for the pension.

In the end, if I got it, it was hard to say whether it was a loss or a gain.

Anyway, no matter what the result is, the money is not enough.

After Cheng De sighed lightly, he thought: Perhaps, a marriage is really needed.

Political marriage is essentially an exchange of interests.

It is also a temporary compromise.

But facing the current situation, he could only feel helpless.

After thinking about it, Cheng De lost interest, looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Do you know who the married woman is?"

Zhang Yi did not hesitate at all: "Reporting to the general, it is Shen Wansan's younger sister, Shen Lingling."

"Shen Lingling? Why does this name sound familiar?" Cheng De said to himself.

Zhang Yi: "."

Zhang Yi said in his heart: General, did this person return to Sizhou City with you?

The general has a big heart.

At that time, when the general and his party returned to Sizhou City, there was an extra strange woman.

Zhang Yi felt a little familiar, so he sent someone to inquire about it.

It was discovered that this person was Shen Lingling, the sister of Shen Wansan whom he had met before.

Therefore, Zhang Yi, who was worrying about the lack of money for the construction of Sizhou Port at that time, immediately felt relieved.

Instead, he sleeps soundly and eats everything delicious.

He thought of a way to break the situation.

This method is exactly the marriage proposed by Zhang Yi now.

From Zhang Yi's point of view, Shen Lingling has a good-looking appearance and a gentle and dignified personality, making him a good match for a general.

More importantly, if the general married Shen Lingling, would Shen Wansan still be able to escape?
He knew how much Shen Wansan doted on this little girl.

But after hearing what the general said, Zhang Yi realized that the general seemed to have no idea about Shen Lingling.

Otherwise, if there is an extra woman in the army, normal people will inquire about the news.

However, the general didn't take it seriously.

Zhang Yi secretly groaned in his heart.

But the general looked puzzled, and he had no choice but to answer.

Therefore, Zhang Yi said with a bitter face: "Reporting to the general, this Shen Lingling is the woman who returned to Sizhou City with the general before."

Cheng De was startled, and looked at Zhang Yi in amazement: "Is what you said true?"

Zhang Yi: "Reporting to the general, every sentence of my subordinates is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood."

Cheng De: "Now, I already have a sister Xiuying. She is Cheng De's official wife. The title I can only give is a concubine like Yan'er. Will Shen Lingling agree to this? Also, Shen Wansan Will there be approval?"

Zhang Yi was speechless.

He also knows about this, and this is the most difficult part.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yi replied: "The general's consideration is not unreasonable. If the general trusts his subordinates, the subordinates are willing to give the general a try."

Cheng De thought about it, and felt that there was no problem.

Left and right are just one more concubine, and this concubine looks okay.

More importantly, if she married this concubine, she would be able to attract Shen Wansan and promote the completion of Sizhou port.

What reason does he have to refuse such a good thing?
Therefore, Cheng De didn't object, he looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Then I will leave this matter to you."

Zhang Yi bowed and said, "Yes."

"Is there anything else you want to discuss?" Cheng De calmly looked around the crowd and asked.

The meeting hall was silent.

No one responded.

Everyone shook their heads.

"If so, then"

Before Cheng De finished speaking, he stopped talking when he saw a person who hurriedly stood up, and looked at the person who stood up in front of him, He Qiyi—Zuo Ling, Zuo Shu of the Ministry of Industry.

He Qiyi had always seemed drowsy when he heard these discussions.

It wasn't until he heard that Song Lian had resigned from the post of chief secretary of the Ministry of Rites that he had an idea in his mind.

He felt that if Song Lian could successfully resign as the head of the Ministry of Rites, then he could also successfully resign from the post of Zuo Shuling of the Ministry of Industry.

Since he took up the post of Zuo Shu Zuoling of the Ministry of Industry, he has appeared extremely uncomfortable.

Even, very stiff.

Around him are all scholars who have read poetry and books.

Every time those people below handed over documents to him, he felt a headache when he saw those documents.

In the past, he always dealt with wood, free and unrestrained.

But since he took the post of Zuo Shu Zuoling of the Ministry of Industry, he has always dealt with people. More often, in order to avoid people, he can't avoid the piles of documents.

From dealing with people, it became dealing with documents again.

With little literacy, he was often helpless in the face of those documents.

Although those scholars didn't say anything publicly, they also talked a lot of gossip behind their backs.

Why did he rely on the relationship of the general to become Zuo Shuzuoling of the Ministry of Industry, and he has no ability at all.

Why is he such a vulgar guy, yet he is on top of them? It's the biggest fallacy in the world!

Some people even say that he is a golden Buddha statue in the temple.

You don't have to do anything, just put on a show.

These, every word, pierced into his heart like a knife.

He's been having trouble sleeping lately.

Frowning sadly every day, feeling unhappy.

He wanted to resign from Cheng De's position as Zuo Shu Zuoling of the Ministry of Industry and continue to be his carpenter.

But he was very worried that Cheng De would be angered if he raised it.

It would even involve his nephew He Sanwu, and he was afraid that it would affect He Sanwu's future.

So, he endured it.

But today, during the discussion, Song Lian resigned.

He Qiyi's mind became active again.

He felt that today, no matter what, he had to give it a try.

What if it happens?
With Song Lian in front, he felt that he should have nothing to do in the end.

So, He Qiyi lowered his head and stammered: "Reporting to the general, I want to resign as Zuo Shuzuoling from the Ministry of Industry, and hope that the general will allow me to return to being a carpenter."

At this time, after He Qiyi finished speaking, he felt relieved.

At the same time, he felt extremely uneasy, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He didn't dare to raise his head to meet Cheng De's gaze.

He is afraid, afraid.
Others present looked at He Qiyi in surprise.

They were very surprised that He Qiyi would resign from Zuo Shuzuoling of the Ministry of Industry and was willing to be a carpenter.

Some of them couldn't understand He Qiyi's thoughts.

I just feel a little ridiculous.

There are even some people who secretly despise it in their hearts.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, which is more important, can't you tell the difference?
It seems that He Qiyi has only the destiny of being a carpenter.

Give him a chance, but he can't grasp it.

Why don't you let me take the post of Zuo Shu Zuoling of the Ministry of Industry.

Cheng De looked extremely calm, looked into He Qiyi's eyes, and said flatly: "Have you thought about it?"

He Qiyi looked up at Cheng De in disbelief. Seeing Cheng De's calm and unwavering gaze, his body froze, and he nodded slowly: "Subordinate. Think. Okay!"

Cheng De was silent.

In the past, he asked He Qiyi to take the post of Zuo Shuzuoling of the Ministry of Industry for the sake of check and balance.

It's also for the peace of He Sanwu's heart.

But now, with the abundance of talents, He Qiyi's role is not that great.

Moreover, it was He Qiyi who resigned from the position of Zuo Shu Zuoling of the Ministry of Industry himself, and He Sanwu didn't need to explain it.

Thinking of this, Cheng De said: "Since you have made up your mind, then your request is granted. From now on, you can work as a carpenter under the Academy of Sciences!"

He Qiyi was extremely excited.

Finally, he waited for this day.

So, He Qiyi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the ground: "My subordinate, He Qiyi, thank you General! May the General live long, long live, long live!"

Cheng De's eyes flashed when he heard He Qiyi's words.

Others present were also stunned.

They all looked at He Qiyi thoughtfully.

"Okay, get up first!" Cheng De said suddenly.

He Qiyi got up immediately after hearing this, and walked to the queue in a hurry, with a relieved smile on his face.

"The post of Zuo Shu Zuoling of the Ministry of Industry is to be held by Liu Yuan, the military adviser of the Military Aircraft Department." Cheng De finalized the candidate to replace He Qiyi.

After finishing speaking, Cheng De looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone has finished discussing the matters, so let's go down and busy with the things in hand!"

"Yes." Everyone bowed in response.

After Cheng De watched the crowd leave, he shouted outside again: "Come here!"

After that, more than a dozen people from the General's Mansion left Sizhou City one after another, heading in different directions.

They all carried the order documents Cheng De gave them.

And they were also riding on horses, heading towards the destinations where they sent the order documents.

Afterwards, Cheng De hurriedly took Li Xiaoci and his party to Sizhou Military Academy.

Because, today is the day he gave lectures at Sizhou Military Academy.

This is something that was settled yesterday.

It was delayed for a while because of discussing matters.

en route.

Cheng De occasionally raised his head to look at the sky above his head, thinking: I'm afraid it's almost noon.
