No shortage of walls

Song Xing was startled. I only asked him to control Liu Chengwen for a while, but in a second thought, I realized that I had not thought carefully. Cui was dragging Liu Chengwen to protect He Shizhang. But as soon as he came, Cui Zheng was about to take the blame. He also complained, and Cui Zheng asked for it this time. I thought in my heart:"It's better to be the same old person who will think of the future for me." I just pretended that I didn't know. He said:"Before I left the palace and went north, Cui Zhengke said in front of the hall that many of the old sergeants were old and unfit to fight, so they all turned to the workshops to work as workers. The workshops should be full of people. Previously, Mr. Liu also Come and sue him, what happened to Cui Zheng? Since we have enough manpower, we can produce, but the delivery is in such a mess, is Cui Zheng having water in his head?"

He Shizhang also looked embarrassed to complain. Said:"Wei Chen went to ask, Master Cui said that the Lu people deposited money in front of them, and also brought dozens of ships of southern peanuts and other goods to sell to the workshop. The Lu people have never lost their credibility and dare not do so. In fact, the Lu people have never lost their credibility. We are too busy. If we are too busy, we will be in chaos. I think that the old soldiers in the army are more trustworthy than the workers. We can add more manpower, mainly older generals, and the soldiers will be transferred back to work. There is no problem with the workers; but overall arrangements require some ability. Ordinary soldiers are not capable enough to do this. Besides, the workshop is getting bigger and there are more items; the business is getting bigger, and Lord Cui is also very hardworking." He naturally knew the emperor's spirit. Technology can no longer be trusted to others. But the veterans in the army have all returned from the test of life and death, so they are naturally more trustworthy than ordinary villagers and craftsmen.

An old pawn who has died in a hundred battles is by no means a spy.

But trustworthiness really has nothing to do with personal ability. A person doesn't have to be die-hard to get things done.

Prince Jing's old army was famous only for fighting. As for the overall planning of the workshop, some of the ordinary soldiers could not even read a few words, which was really difficult.

But when he said this, it didn't sound like he was complaining, but like he was helping Cui Zheng. If the workshop was really short of manpower and the soldiers had few studies, and the shipments were sent out at once, with large quantities and varieties, it would inevitably be chaotic; the same thing would happen. When shipping, the chances of making mistakes are much less. Anyway, the order sent by the border says, for example, 50,000 jins of spirits, so just send out 50,000 jins of spirits, and then look at the second line. This saves trouble, is convenient, and is less likely to make mistakes. But it’s very troublesome for people to buy it. What’s happening now The business is getting bigger and bigger, and the buyers will be dissatisfied with shipping like this, which is really detrimental to the business relationship.

Song Xing nodded. There is no need to tell the truth; anyway, it will be normal after Liu Chengwen is dealt with, and it is nothing more than scolding Cui Zheng in front of the court. He asked:"Isn't it very expensive to receive officials from Northern Xia?"

He Shizhang felt a little uncomfortable again. He arched his hands and said,"Your Majesty! This is the first time for this minister to do practical things. In the past, he was in charge of the sacrificial regulations. Now that he has just transferred to diplomacy, he is always a little in a hurry. Some of the expenses were originally unnecessary." He took out his notebook and handed it to emperor.

Song Xing opened it and took a look. What kind of bullshit money do you use? Set it aside for the moment. He said:"There are many state affairs, we will look at them later."

Officials reported all their expenses to their superiors, and then uniformly reported them to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then took the money back for turnover. But the emperor suppressed his words. He knew that the emperor did not want the Minister of Rites to know how much money he spent. He thought he had spent too much, and the emperor was afraid that the courtiers would find out, so he suppressed it first. In this case, even if you make a small mistake, the emperor will suppress it and the courtiers will not mention it again; this move is completely to take care of your own face. This move shows the emperor's care and concern. He does not want to embarrass the courtiers if he makes a small mistake for the first time. It is really a sign of divine grace. He feels flattered in his heart, but also feels anxious that his inexperience has caused trouble to the emperor. He said:"Wei Chen is doing foreign affairs for the first time, so a lot of things can be saved. The Xia officials were very polite to Wei Chen. They were the ones who entertained us, but a lot of expenses were messed up. I think Wei Chen still disappointed the emperor.""I'm too young, so when I mentioned the court, I was breaking the rules. It had only been four years since he was asked to handle foreign affairs again, and he was personally sent by the emperor, so everything went smoothly. I hate that I thought about it so much and prepared carefully for so long, but in the end I still made some small mistakes. After all, this was my first time doing foreign affairs, so I was inexperienced and had not yet read the rules of foreign affairs thoroughly. Thinking of this, He Shizhang felt very sad.

Song Xing saw his guilty expression. He thought he was sent to do the work, but he spent money that he shouldn't have used. He felt a little guilty and said:"The first time is inevitable, Mr. He! This matter was done well. There are many praises in the court. I want to let him go." You're in the second rank, what do you think?"

He Shizhang opened his eyes and opened his mouth, not knowing what to do for a moment. Originally, he had received a commission for doing things, and secondly, the cost was heavy, and he was already feeling uneasy. The emperor transferred himself from the third rank to the third rank, and personally assigned tasks, just to let the ministers of the court know that he was qualified for the third rank. It's just that I tried my best, but I didn't do it as comprehensively as Mr. Liu, for fear of disappointing the emperor. I just stood upright and focused on serving the country. Even if I wasn't thorough, I would only scold him a few times. I had nothing else to do, but I didn't expect to skip it. From the second grade. I was so stunned that I couldn't speak. Considering my age, jumping to the first level in three years was already the fastest. It was still early, after all, I was only thirty years old, and reaching the third level was already the fastest.

It's been a long time. He Shi Zhangcai said:"Your Majesty! I have accepted this idea and thank you for your grace." After saying this, he took two steps back and knelt down. Said:"It's just that Wei Chen is only thirty years old. It might be inappropriate to be promoted too quickly. Moreover, Wei Chen only does one thing, and it is assigned by the emperor. He has achieved this result only because everything in the court goes smoothly. Please take back the grace of the emperor."."

Song Xing saw his sincere expression. Said:"I just want to ask you, will you be able to do the job when you reach the second level?"
