Chapter 241 They are all just a bunch of idlers!
"What did the lady say?"
Jiang An shook his head, "It's okay..."
"Governor, how long will it take to build a good road?"
Wen Shoushi: "Regarding the repair of the official road, how to repair it, how long to repair it, and who will be in charge of it are all the responsibility of the Ministry of Works."
He introduced the Ministry of Industry of Nan Shang to Jiang An...
The main person in charge of the Ministry of Works was the Minister of Works, and under him were two vice-ministers on the left and right.
Many matters of the Ministry of Works were decided by these three people. Generally, the left and right vice ministers would come up with a plan first, and then the minister would review it.
The entire Ministry of Works has four divisions: the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Tuntian, the Ministry of Fisheries, and the Ministry of Water Resources.
(Refer to the Tang system.)
"The repair of the official road must first be submitted by local officials to the Ministry of Works, and after being reviewed and confirmed by the Minister of State, it will be submitted to Your Majesty through the central government..."
"If your majesty approves it, the Ministry of Revenue will allocate silver and send it back to the Minister of Works, who will distribute it to the doctors in charge of city repairs and civil engineering maintenance."
"Finally, craftsmen and officials were sent down to the three northern states to repair the official roads."
The little girl half opened her mouth, and the flesh on her soft cheeks trembled.
She just watched Wen Shoushi talking non-stop until she felt numb from listening.
She sighed, supporting her face with her chubby hands, "Is it so troublesome?"
Wen Shoushi nodded, stroking the map with his fingertips, looking even a little embarrassed.
"As a provincial governor, I am submitting a memorial to the Ministry of Works. I am afraid that I will be stuck at the first step."
He had made no achievements in Kyoto, had no friends or former colleagues, and was also the most unpopular governor of Chongzhou.
His memorial will just be left gathering dust in a corner.
"If we want to accomplish this, it would be best if someone in the capital could help us..."
"Only if we can have a say with the Minister of Industry and have someone in the court to lend his support, will there be a chance for this to happen."
The little girl rolled her eyes, "People in Beijing..."
She counted on her fingers, "Second Prince?"
No, no, she just blew up someone else's mine.
"Xie Yunshan?"
The Xie family is quite powerful in Kyoto...
It just seems like she doesn't have a good relationship with her dad.
If Xie Yunshan told the Xie family about this, he would probably be beaten, so it’s better not to cheat him.
"What about the Dali Temple Minister?"
She had met this person once in Peizhou.
What's his name?
Jiang An scratched his head, thinking that he didn't even remember the person's name, but he went to ask him for help, which was a bit bad...
After thinking for a while, the little girl finally decided to go back home to find her father!
She said goodbye to the governor, mumbling, "If you have any trouble, go to dad~"
Wen Shoushi stood up and wanted to see him off, but Jiang An waved his hand to stop him.
"We are just following each other. No need to see me off. I remember the way out of the house~"
She rolled up the map and packed it away, patting her chest, "Don't worry, Governor. My father will definitely be able to solve it!"
Wen Shoushi laughed and bowed at the door of the study as a farewell.
As he watched the jumping figure walk away, he did not forget to make a joke.
"This little girl is ruthless when it comes to cheating the prince."
The housekeeper behind him looked worried, "Master, is Miss An An really okay?"
The governor turned back to his study to continue reading official documents and said casually, "What are you afraid of..."
"She is like this because of the confidence given by the prince."
……
The palace,
At this time, Hu Yan and Jiang Jichen were still drinking in the front hall.
The dishes on the table were largely untouched, but the jug of wine was already empty.
When Jiang Anfeng rushed in, Hu Yan was pouring wine for himself...
The little girl stared, her hands on her hips, "Old fox!"
The sound frightened Hu Yan so much that his hands began to tremble and a lot of wine spilled.
Jiang Jichen, who was sitting at the main seat, put down his cup and pushed it away, pretending nothing had happened.
Butler Sun, who was waiting beside him, understood his master's thoughts and quickly put the cup away.
Jiang An rushed over in two or three steps, snatched the wine pot from the old fox, and said fiercely: "The doctor said that you can't drink!"
"Be careful that An An won't complain. Next time, ask the court doctor to put more coptis root in your medicine!"
Hu Yan's eyes were still clear. He uttered two "tsk tsk" sounds, with a trailing tone and a pitiful tone, "I've already used the coptis root. I really can't drink this medicine for a day."
An old fox!
The little girl (little fox) smiled and told Niang Niang behind her, "Write it down and repeat it to the doctor later~"
See if he comes to pull your ears!
"Cough cough..."
Hu Yan smelled of tea, became serious, and pushed the cup away. "That's not necessary. I won't drink it!"
Guan Yan, who was guarding outside the door, grinned and laughed, she has to be the eldest lady!
"Okay, An..."
Let Hu Yan go.
Jiang Jichen smiled and beckoned someone to come over to him, "Didn't you say that your dad would come pick you up? Why did you come back by yourself?"
The little girl pouted, "An An went to the governor to talk about the road construction, but he went around in circles and confused me, so I came back to ask my father for help~"
"Building roads?"
Jiang An nodded, "Yes, repair the official road."
Butler Sun replaced the wine on the table with tea.
Perhaps because he drank too much, his lips were dry, so Hu Yan picked up the tea again.
He thought about it and said, "If it's the official road, it will be very troublesome..."
"If Chongzhou reports it themselves, the biggest possibility is that it will be ignored. This matter still requires help from someone in the capital."
"Give some gold and silver to the officials of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue..."
The little girl's eyebrows knitted together, "Old fox, how come you said exactly the same thing as the governor!"
She put her fat paws on the table and said indignantly, "An An has the money to fix it herself, but she still has to give it to them!"
"No, no way!"
The little girl got angry, holding her paws and saying, "Daddy, why don't you just rebel?"
Hu Yan almost spit out all his tea, "Little ancestor, you asked your father to rebel for a road!"
Jiang An glared, "This is a matter of one road!"
She stood on the chair, very angry, "You should do your job well!"
"You just get paid for nothing without doing any work. You are just a bunch of idlers!"
"The students in Chongzhou Academy are better than them!"
"Just building a road requires so many twists and turns, what about other things?"
If that’s the case, then why keep them? It would be better to replace them with capable people!
The chair was unstable, and the old father pretended to protect his daughter and quickly appeased her, "Okay... why bother with them, An wants to build a road, I will help you."
The little girl immediately retracted her sharp teeth and obediently retreated into her father's protection.
Hu Yan was also stunned for a moment, then he smiled happily.
He was used to considering all consequences when doing things, for the prince and for the National Protection Army; he was also used to surviving as a counselor.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a young man like An An who is happy to take revenge...
The old fox calmed down, looked at the prince, and started to help with some ideas.
He said jokingly, "I just told the prince that I would ask for more benefits from the Dali Temple, and now I am here..."
It so happens that the Dali Temple Minister Wu Heting has some connection with the Minister of Works...
Jiang An was at a loss. She looked at the old fox and then at her father. "What's the benefit?"
Jiang Jichen patted her head, "Don't worry, An An, Dad will take care of it..."
"Oh, all right~"
Hu Yan had a smile on his face, but he caught a glimpse of a brocade robe flashing by outside the door.
He actually forgot that Xie Yunshan was still living in the Zhenguo Palace...
I don’t know how much the young general heard.
