A small boat was slowly cruising on the river surface, and the sides of the boat were filled with ripples.

The fisherman with a straw hat scattered the fishing nets lightly into the river. Soon, a few lively big fish floated out of the water along the net bag and jumped on the boat with their tails swayed.

The fisherman sings softly under the sunset, and it was a good harvest again. I took the fish home to make soup. I waited until dawn to leave the market and bought a few cents and put them in the box carefully.

Sitting by the river, in the elegant teahouse room overlooking the entire river, Lian Zining, the Minister of Works, looked at the scenery on the river, and his depressed face showed a little melancholy and confusion.

He spoke softly, "Look at Ye Zhou, you are in trouble!"

Sitting opposite him, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, who was cooking tea, paused his hand, looked out the window, and then smiled, "Shishang, how can there be peace everywhere in life?"

The poems that Lian Zining chanted casually are from Fan Zhongyan's "Collected Works of Fan Wenzheng".

It was originally an ordinary sentence to express the scenery, but it was meaningful to read it at this moment, and it was more in line with his current situation.

Scholars need face. Lian Zining was attacked by the emperor today, feeling sad and complaining.

"I have been an official for more than ten years, and I will be polite today." Lian Zining smiled bitterly, "It is a joke in the capital." As he said, he shook his head and said, "Hey, it's really polite!"

Seeing him like this, Li Jinglong silently pushed a cup of hot tea and comforted him, "Liang Shigong, why bother yourself like this?" He said, and smiled, "We are officials, the ups and downs of the officialdom are common. In life,

Who can avoid making mistakes? It’s a great deal to improve. Although Master Long Sui said you a few words and fined you for your salary, after all, you will still be decent for you!”

Speaking of this, he continued to laugh, "Why did you say that you are so gentle? Besides, in a certain opinion, it was all villains who missed you!"

Lian Zining picked up the teacup and took a sip, "After all, the subordinates are not strict, otherwise why would villains cause trouble? Alas, after all, I was just seeing the wrong person!"

"Hi, isn't the ruler strict?" Li Jinglong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Shishang, you are a scholar of Fangzheng. You have no idea about your knowledge and character, but what about the world...?"

As he said that, he continued to say in the other party's expectant gaze, "You are the second-tier talent. You have been at the center for many years and have never experienced it below. You have thought too simple about the things in this world."

"I wish to hear it carefully!" Lian Zining bowed.

"We are officials, but we can't talk about the word "ruling". To be precise, we can't talk about the word "ruling". Both officials and officials are ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Who will govern who?"

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "If the rule is strict, then there will be no one below. At least no one works or does things. Others say you are unkind, you say you seek fame and reputation and say you are aloof, you say you are blocking others' reputation.

I wish you got out early.”

"But if you don't treat it, isn't it just the fate of the current officials?" Lian Zining smiled bitterly, "Detectively deceive the superiors and subordinates from profit, and secretly seek personal gain from them..."

"Human nature is like this!" Li Jinglong clicked the table, "Human nature is greedy, and it has nothing to do with whether the superior is strict or not. To put it, when the Supreme Emperor was in power, he would peel off his skin and make it a waste of grass when he was corruption, which would stop someone from greed.

Is it right?"

"As the saying goes, there is no need to expire or invalidate. Some people below have the means to unite and fool the people above. It will be the same if you replace them."

Lian Zining was even more confused when he heard it, as if he understood it and seemed that he didn't understand it.

"So I just said, you are a villain who will mislead you for the disaster." Li Jinglong continued to laugh, "Even if someone has such a person, he is lucky and has not yet discovered it. If he is hit by Master Long Live, I will also want it.

Are you unlucky?"

As he said that, Li Jinglong continued to laugh, "So a gentleman can deceive him, he is talking about a person like you, a disciple! If it is someone, haha!"

"How about you?" Lian Zining asked.

"I will never let the people below cause trouble and be implicated!"

Li Jinglong whispered, "I always let the people below take the blame." As he said, he said seriously, "I will not treat anyone, and I will not investigate some things in depth. But if I have something to do, the people below must give it to me."

Carry it, otherwise I won’t carry it if they have any problems in the future.”

"If you don't govern people, but an official, you must control things within a controllable range. That is to say, you can ignore what you do, but you must not know. You can delegate power, but you cannot be the boss."

"If you don't treat your subordinates, you must be afraid. This time you suffer a loss because you are the one who is the boss. If you don't know how to recognize people, you will be mistaken by villains."

Upon hearing this, Lian Zining thought for a long time and sighed, "Oh, it's too late to say this."

"Don't sigh, you'll say the same thing. Who will have a smooth life in your life? You will gain wisdom after stuttering and gain wisdom!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.

Lian Zining looked at the other party and bowed, "Duke Cao, the emperor ordered you to supervise the treasure shipyard and cooperate with the officials to handle it. What are your regulations now..."

"If you have something to do, let's discuss it!" Li Jinglong said with a smile. "The most urgent task is to clear out all the worms in the treasure shipyard that do not treat craftsmen as humans, and then set standards for food and rations, so that craftsmen are like individuals."

As he said, he smiled and said, "There is no need for snacks. He Guangyi and the Jinyiwei intervened. Whoever goes in and out has to vomit out even the capital and profits, and in the end he has to spend it in the treasure shipyard!"

Then, he hesitated slightly, "But, the head of this treasure shipyard must choose a safe and reliable person!"

Lian Zining also frowned and pondered for a moment, "Is it still chosen from the Ministry of Works?"

"No!" Li Jinglong waved his hand, "Everyone knows that this is a fat man? I don't say anything nice, and anyone who chooses to come up will repeat the same mistake."

"It's not the people from the Ministry of Works, outsiders don't understand!" Lian Zining said.

"The work department is working, and the supervisor is supervising to choose others!" Li Jinglong whispered, "Let them stare at each other and look at each other, so we two are at the top of us." He said, smiling, "If you only choose one type, you can

People, we may say we will be in trouble in the future!”

Now Lian Zining understands that those who work professionally can be from the Ministry of Works, and those who supervise and manage accounts cannot be from the Ministry of Works.

"I have a choice!" Li Jinglong continued to eat dried fruit, "It's my old subordinate. I have enough Jinshi and the emperor has seen him!"

"Who?" Lian Zining asked.

"Our Lifan Academy is the chief of the fourth-rank Japanese invaders, Yang Shiqi!" Li Jinglong said seriously, "This person is in a good position. With him here, the treasure shipyard can rest assured!"

"But he is from the Rifanyuan, and the Ministry of Works is..."

Li Jinglong laughed and said, "It's not a big deal to have more errands. As long as you, the minister, nodded, I'll just be a document from the Ministry of Personnel!"

"That's as you said!" Lian Zining nodded, "Shipbuilding is a national event, and there must be a reliable person to support it!"

Li Jinglong smiled and lowered his head to continue making tea.

Lian Zining was still a little uneasy, "I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the ropes. I hope the person you recommend can take on the heavy responsibility!" As he said that, he suddenly smiled, "Look at me, I became worried about gains and losses again.

The account book of the treasure shipyard, I will ask someone to present it to the master tomorrow, and there will be personnel archives..."

"No, no hurry!" Li Jinglong waved his hand and whispered, "Mr. Lian, I have something to ask for advice!"

"Speaking!"

"Now the treasure shipyard specializes in building warships, right?" Li Jinglong said.

"Most of them are warships!" Lian Zining pondered, "What does Duke Cao mean?"

"The war general is the court who pays money, just a bottomless pit that only leaves but never enters!" Li Jinglong frowned, "It seems that if Ruobao Shipyard wants to last for a long time, there must be a way to earn money!"

As he said that, he got closer, "The maritime merchants in Zhejiang and Guangdong have some money to buy good ships!"

Lian Zining immediately understood and said, "But the merchant ships are all Songjiang Quanzhou..."

"The ships built in those places must not be as good as those built by our Jingshi Treasure Shipyard?" Li Jing poured tea and smiled proudly.

Lian Zining blinked and fell into deep thought.

"You, the Minister of Works will be over for the rest of your life! There is no such vision, and you want the horse to run and feed the grass. The treasure shipyard is a big hole in the Ministry of Revenue. The hearts of the people below will sooner or later be dispersed.

The gate is a singular way, can you see it openly?"

Li Jinglong thought to himself, and Hot Tea pushed it to Lian Zining again.
