Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 65 You are left foot first...

"Your Majesty, I'm just telling the truth, what's wrong with that? If someone with a little bit of skill can be appointed as a high official in the court, wouldn't all the officials in the Ming Dynasty be replaced by craftsmen!"

"You also said, come here, pull him out and give him twenty sticks!" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

"I'm right, I'm right..."

Two guards quickly entered the palace and pulled Hong Yi out.

But Hong Yi's words spoke to the hearts of the courtiers. If craftsmen were to replace scholars like them, they would never accept it.

"Your Majesty, I think what Hong Shangshu said is reasonable. The appointment of courtiers should still be based on political merit. Although the ability of some craftsmen can be regarded as merit, it cannot be used as the basis for the appointment and removal of courtiers."

An Ran came out of class to play.

"Shilang Li is not only talented as a craftsman, he also has the ability to create military formations."

Mu Ying came out and said.

After Li Wei practiced three strikes that day, His Majesty assigned him [-] soldiers and asked him to train them like that. However, these soldiers were not as good as the personal soldiers, and he was not as familiar with the training methods of later generations as Li Wei. During the past few days of training, the soldiers had a lot of problems, which gave him a headache.

"If you have military skills, you can transfer them to the army, so as not to bury Mr. Li's talent in our Ministry of Industry." Zhao Jun said in a sinister tone.

Li Wei was promoted too quickly, and His Majesty was so protective of him, he might get blamed for it one day. It would be best if he could be kicked out of the Ministry of Industry.

Mu Ying was overjoyed when she heard this: "Your Majesty, I think it's okay. Let Mr. Li come under my command. I'm short of people here."

He was worried that this new firearms army would be difficult to train.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed. Li Wei was a treasure. He was not only capable of flintlocks and spear arrays, he also had many other things for this kid to do. How could he throw someone on the battlefield?

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's unhappy expression, Tang He immediately realized something was wrong and hurriedly left the team and said: "Although Li Wei occasionally got into the army, he is just a weakling after all. It is not appropriate to transfer him to the army."

Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, and when Tang He winked at him, she could only remain silent.

"Li Aiqing's talents don't stop there. We will make our own decision on his appointment."

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

Seeing this, Xu Da quickly said: "Your Majesty is wise."

The nobles immediately followed suit.

When the civil servants saw this posture, they could only helplessly follow the crowd and take pictures before talking.

The flattery was gone, and the ministers were about to start talking seriously again, when they saw a censor leaving work.

"Your Majesty, since Minister Li is an important minister of the third rank, how can he be absent from work for the morning meeting? I ask your Majesty to punish him severely and order him to attend the court meeting on time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and looked at the censor. He had an impression that this person was called Han Yike, and he was also a very upright person.

The ministers also looked at this person, thinking that this person has no brains?Everyone is impeaching Li Wei, but they are all impeaching his faults. Regarding the fact that he did not come to court, everyone pretended not to see it. The emperor did not mention it and they did not mention it. They wished that this thief would never appear in the court.

If Li Wei doesn't come, it's natural for them to play whatever they want, but if someone comes, they'll have to quarrel a bit.

Zhu Yuanzhang also had a headache. It was okay for Li Wei not to go to court before. After all, his official position was not high, so it didn't matter whether he came or not. But now he is a third-rank official, and it would be shameful if he didn't come again.

"Well, Li Aiqing may have just been promoted and forgot about it for a while. In this case, it's up to you to remind him."

Zhu Yuanzhang kicked the ball back based on the principle of whoever proposes the solution.

However, Han Yike didn't care and agreed happily: "I obey the order."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Sun Jian below was a little nervous at this time. After the Minister of Civil Affairs said a few words to Li Wei, he was pulled out and beaten with a stick. What would happen to him who complained?
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him, but did not do anything to him, but said: "No matter what the reason is for Li Wei, it is definitely wrong to hit people. Let's do this. Li Wei will be fined for three months as punishment! You go down Bar."

Sun Jianchang breathed a sigh of relief. Although the emperor's punishment for Li Wei was not severe, he didn't care anymore, as long as he was fine.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Wei's matter has come to an end, and the ministers started talking about business again...

As for Li Wei, although he did not go to court, he was not idle. He called a few officers early in the morning to continue inspecting other workshops, especially those that made pottery. In the future, he planned to hand over the important task of making glass to Li Wei. A pottery workshop.He ran to several places all morning and was very tired.

However, as soon as he returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, he received the news like a bolt from the blue: Zhu Yuanzhang had deducted three months of his salary!

Li Wei was stunned and asked in disbelief: "What? Your Majesty deducted three months of my salary?"

"Not bad." Han Yike said expressionlessly.

"Why? I've worked so hard. If you don't give me any extra money, you're still going to deduct my salary?" Li Weiwei was angry and stood up with eyes wide open to question.

"You beat up a subordinate official, and His Majesty only deducted your salary for three months. This punishment is already very light!"

"Who did I hit?"

"Master Sun Jian."

Li Wei was stunned, and immediately remembered the dog officer who beat the old man, and said angrily: "I beat him, he deserves it! He actually beat the old man, do you think he should be beaten?"

Han Yike also frowned after hearing this. He also looked down upon such bullying officials.

"Your Majesty's decree has been made. I hope that Mr. Li will be careful in his words and deeds in the future, and will not act recklessly again."

Han Yike's tone relaxed and said with a hint of comfort.

Li Wei twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling full of anger and nowhere to vent his anger.

"Also, Mr. Li is now a third-rank official. Remember to attend the morning court on time tomorrow. Don't miss work again!"

After finishing his words and completing his task, Han Yike turned around and left without stopping when he saw Li Wei's face was ugly and silent.

Li Wei automatically ignored his last sentence and sat down slowly, thinking about the fact that he had been deducted three months of salary for no reason.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not a good man, and that Sun Jian is even more of a bastard!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Li Wei shouted to the officer outside: "Go and call Sun Jian!"

"Yes, my lord."

The officer took the order and left.

After waiting for a while, Sun Jian finally arrived.

"I have met Mr. Li. I wonder what you have to do with me?"

When Sun Jian saw Li Wei's gloomy expression, he knew that he would definitely find trouble, but he was not afraid. Zhao Jun was still protecting him. Although Li Wei and Zhao Jun were on the same level, they were superior to each other, so Zhao Jun still wanted to A little taller than him.

Li Wei didn't waste any time and asked coldly with a calm face: "Did you enter the door with your left foot first or your right foot?"

Sun Jian was confused when asked, what does this mean?
"Left...left foot."

Li Wei slapped the table and got up, furious: "Who told you to come in with your left foot first? Don't you know my rule here is that you must come in with your right foot first?"

Sun Jian was dumbfounded: "What? When did this rule come about?"

"I just got it today, and you dare to go forward with your left foot. You are so brave! Someone come here!"

Li Weiwei roared, and the servant at the door came in: "Sir, what are your orders?"

"Take him down for me and hit the forty boards again!"

"Ah this..."

The guard was a little hesitant. He could hear clearly at the door. Just because he stepped in with his left foot first, he would hit someone with a forty big board. Isn't this a bit ridiculous?
Sun Jian said anxiously: "What are you doing? How dare you do such nonsense! Aren't you afraid that I will impeach you to His Majesty again!"

"Haha, let's play, isn't it just a deduction from wages? I have plenty of money!"

Now that the business of the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce is booming, Li Wei's monthly income is almost thousands of dollars, so he doesn't care about this little money. He is mainly angry. He has obviously worked very hard, but his wages are still being deducted. It's too much!
Seeing that the guard hesitated, Li Wei didn't wait for him to take action. He left his seat, grabbed the guard's stick, and hit Sun Jian on the buttocks!
"Ow~!"

Sun Jian screamed, covered his butt and ran away. Li Wei chased after him with a stick and a ferocious look on his face...
