Li An naturally knew where Mrs. Qin Guo was cramping, and also figured out the main reason why she came to find herself alone, for Mrs. Qin Guo's urgent needs, Li An only had to meet it with all his might, and there was no reason or need to shirk it, and he would do his best to satisfy her, and he would not make trouble again.

Of course, Li An didn't know if Mrs. Qin Guo had any other needs that could meet her, and Li An would naturally be easy to do, what if she put forward higher requirements and Li An couldn't meet them?

"Li Shilang is really powerful, it seems that the eighth sister is really not wrong, no wonder she often comes to Li Shilang, but she is much stronger than those weak scholars."

Mrs. Qin Guo said with a satisfied face.

"Madame, is there anything else to do?"

Li An has already entered the sage mode, and he really doesn't have the heart to continue to talk nonsense with Mrs. Qin Guo, and he can't wait to let this thing get out of the way immediately, so that he can continue to practice guns.

Seeing that Li An's tone was too blunt, Mrs. Qin Guo was naturally quite unhappy in her heart, and complained: "Wasn't it quite energetic just now, what's wrong now, it's annoying me." ”

"Madam, how dare you be, it's just that Your Majesty is in a hurry for me to complete the Wanli Transmission Plan, and I am indeed tired these days, and I am a little overwhelmed!"

Li An said lightly.

"Li Shilang's performance just now, where does it seem to be powerless, it is that there are too many beautiful wives and concubines in the family, so he can't be busy!"

Mrs. Qin Guo said angrily.

"Madame can think whatever she likes, but Madame doesn't seem to be short of white-faced scholars!"

Ang Lee said.

"Li Shilang knows me very well, there is no shortage, but they are too useless, three or five together, they are not as powerful as Li Shilang, occasionally change the taste, isn't it?"

Mrs. Qin Guo said.

"This is easy to do, I have led soldiers in the army, and I am familiar with many people in the army, they are all very powerful, do you need to know a few madam? I can introduce it below. ”

Ang Lee said jokingly.

"No need."

Mrs. Qin Guo got angry, got up and got dressed, and put on a dissatisfied face.

She is confident that she is full of charm, and those scholars are reluctant to give up on themselves every time they finish their work, praising themselves for living a good and attractive life, and Ang Lee's performance makes her quite dissatisfied, and even pushes her to others, which shows that she is not too satisfied with herself.

Of course, Ang Lee is really not too satisfied, this goods is really okay, she is a half-old, but she is really not very good, lying on the table like a dead pig, she hasn't moved much, if you close your eyes and change to a pig, it is estimated that the effect and feeling are the same, in short, the level of this goods is much worse than her eighth sister, Ang Lee is not very satisfied, and I don't want to have a next time.

"Madame buttoned the neckline, it's cold, don't catch a cold."

Ang Lee didn't dare to offend people too much, and it was necessary to care a little about it.

Mrs. Qin Guo smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, and said, "I came from the palace, and the solar barbecue grill that Li Shilang gave to His Majesty is quite interesting, is there anything else?" ”

Obviously, Mrs. Qin Guo has taken a fancy to the solar barbecue grill, and she came over alone, just to ask Li An for one, as for what happened just now, maybe it was just a temporary intention, after all, Li An is such a charming Langjun, it is normal to be unable to control it at a glance, especially for an elderly woman.

Seeing that the other party was here to ask for a solar barbecue grill, Li An had such an expression, and said bluntly: "Since Madame is from the palace, then you should have heard that Your Majesty has liked it since she saw the solar barbecue grill, and he has blackmailed a full hundred of them in one go, so many barbecue grills, Your Majesty alone will definitely not be able to use them up, just rely on the relationship between the concubines and reward one to Madame, that is not a sure thing?" ”

Mrs. Qin Guo nodded and said: "What Li Shilang said is that I know all this, but when I came just now, I saw the servants around King Guangping leaving, so I asked, this hundred barbecue grills are ready, I'm afraid it will take some days, and there will be no ready-made ones?" ”

"No, there really isn't, but when mass production starts, I can't wait a few days, and when it's done, my majesty's reward will be put aside for the time being, and I'll send another one to Madame's house, okay?"

Ang Lee doesn't care about a barbecue grill, these things may be very expensive when they go on the market, but for Ang Lee, this thing is very cheap, the manufacture of glass products has become more and more mature, and the cost has been decreasing, the cost of a glass tube is not much, but Li Ang is too black-hearted and sells dozens of times the profit, which not only allows him to earn more money, but also allows people who use glass products to know the importance of saving, so as to greatly reduce the waste of resources.

Since Li Andu was so sincere, Mrs. Qin Guo couldn't say anything, so she smiled and left.

Ang Lee closed the door to his office and continued to practice his pistol.

Approaching the end of the year, all departments of the imperial court began to get busy, many departments are summarizing the work experience of the past year, and at the same time, they are also counting the achievements made in the past year, all kinds of data are there, and the data will not lie, who has achieved the best results, it is clear at a glance.

Since it is a year-end summary, naturally some people do well, and some people do not do well, and those who do well are expected to be rewarded, and officials who do not do well may face the risk of being reprimanded.

Of course, in addition to a certain yamen, some people perform well and some people perform badly, different yamen subjects, the performance is also different, some of them have outstanding achievements, they will definitely be praised by the emperor, and some of them have not done things well, so they have to think about how to explain to the emperor.

Under the influence of Li An, the Ministry of Industry has performed the most outstanding in this year's time, and the results achieved are also very good, Li An, the waiter, did not give in vain, although Li An almost did not go to work in the Ministry of Industry, but his influence in the Ministry of Industry is not small, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry will want to consult Li An when they encounter any difficulties, rather than their boss Guo Xuji.

To say that this Guo Xuji is also a squire of the Ministry of Works, and Li An's official position is at the same level, in charge of the specific things of the Ministry of Industry, it stands to reason that his subordinates should find him when they encounter difficulties, but Guo Xuji's ability and prestige are far inferior to Li An, there are many problems that the officials of the Ministry of Industry cannot solve, and Guo Xuji cannot solve them, and these officials of the Ministry of Industry know that it is futile to find Guo Xuji, so they simply go to Li An, so that the problem can be truly solved.

In this way, Guo Xuji can only solve those cumbersome little things, or Li An has already opened up a good road, and he can be responsible for following up.

Because of Li An's help, this year, the achievements of the Ministry of Industry are too great, all aspects have made rapid development, only the Ministry of Industry is responsible for the iron mine, has produced a large amount of pig iron, and the output is increasing month by month, even in winter, the output has not decreased in the slightest, which is quite commendable.

All this is inseparable from the help provided by Ang Lee, after all, the new process of ironmaking was invented by Ang Lee, and Ang Lee has a high say in the difficulties that iron ore and iron ore workshops can encounter, and how to solve these problems after encountering these difficulties.

If even Li An can't solve these problems, then no one can solve them, and many seemingly small problems, if not solved in time, will seriously affect the output of the workshop and the mine, and thus affect the performance of the Ministry of Industry.

The laying of the new railway is also the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, in this regard, the contribution of the Ministry of Industry can be called great, a new and under construction of the railway, so that the transportation of the Tang Empire has become much more convenient, which is very important for the take-off of the economy of the Tang Empire, no one can erase the great credit of the Ministry of Industry.

The construction of railways and bridges alone has surpassed many departments in the contribution of the Ministry of Industry, leaving other departments far behind.

Of course, there is a good performance of the Ministry of Industry, there are also not very good performance of the department, the performance of the railway bureau is relatively much worse, to say that the railway bureau, some people have suggested that it be assigned to the Ministry of Industry, but the imperial court in order to reflect the importance of the railway, it will be separated, so that the income from railway operation and the Ministry of Industry has nothing to do with it.

Although under the leadership of Yu Chaoen, the performance of the Datang Railway Bureau is still very good, the income is greater than the expenditure, but the income growth is constantly falling, according to this trend, in a few years, there may be an overall loss, and this is obviously not allowed by the imperial court.

Of course, even if there is a loss, there is a way to solve it, that is, to increase the freight, whether it is passenger or freight, the price can be increased, but this increases the travel cost of ordinary people, which will increase the transportation cost of merchants, which will lead to an increase in the price of goods.

As long as it is not a last resort, the freight price of the railway can naturally be less than less, especially the ordinary carriages of passenger transport, the people who take the train are the poorest people, and a slight increase in the price will have a great impact on their lives.

As for why the profitability of the railway bureau began to fall, Yu Chaoen was like a mirror in his heart, and now the busyness of railway transportation has not decreased at all, and the current situation of such a prosperous transportation should be that the income growth is getting higher and higher, at least, it can't be less and less! This is a bit unreasonable.

And as long as he thought about it a little, Yu Chaoen understood that it must be the people below who filled a lot of income that should have belonged to the imperial court, and one or two rats would not be able to eat the granary, but if there were thousands of mice, then even if the capacity of the granary was large, it would not be able to withstand the toss.

For the people below, occasionally greedy, Yu Chaoen doesn't care, he himself is not a good bird, and he is also greedy a lot, but once this kind of atmosphere lacks enough effective supervision, then, it will become out of control, and there will be more and more corrupt people, so that most of the court's income will be embezzled, which has caused huge losses to the court, just feeding these fat rats.

In the stage of inflated and growing railway revenues, these petty thefts and corruption were hidden by the aura of economic prosperity, and they were not easy to be discovered, and they could sneak as much as they wanted.

But people's desires are endless, this time they are greedy a little, and they find that there is nothing wrong, then, next time it will not be a little, but will be greedy a lot, and then next time it will be more, and then it will be more than one time, and other more regular people, seeing their colleagues stealing so much money but nothing is fine, will naturally be moved, so they will follow the same stream, once this behavior spreads, it will spread at a very fast speed, and thus become out of control.

Even if revenues continue to grow, they can't withstand so many moths, especially after the gradual slowdown in rail revenue growth.

In the first half of the year, the revenue growth of the railway bureau was still very stable, a lot more than last year, but after the second half of the year, the revenue growth was decreasing month by month, especially in the last two months of the year, the revenue growth was very low, so that the book of the railway bureau was very ugly.

As the leader of the Railway Bureau, Yu Chaoen is naturally quite anxious about this, although the income is still increasing, but the increase is slowing down too fast, he may be able to get through the tricks this year, but according to this trend, next year, the Railway Bureau is likely to lose money, and once there is a loss, the court will definitely be unwilling, and his life will not be easy.

In addition, even if he can get through this year, it is inevitable that he will be reprimanded, after all, the railway bureau he is in charge of, in the second half of the year, the decline in performance is too obvious, and the reasons for the decline in performance are not so sufficient, it is difficult to be convincing.

Yu Chaoen embezzled the money of the Railway Bureau, and on the other hand, he was angry at the people who were greedy for money below, which is also a common problem of corrupt officials, it is nothing to be greedy at all, but he can't allow others to be so unscrupulously greedy, after all, the income of the Railway Bureau is there, there are a few small moths, plus he can't be greedy, but if there is a large group of big moths, it will be impossible to clean up.

It's like a group of servants herding sheep for the farmer, five or six people take care of thousands of sheep is an easy thing, if someone wants to get some wool, just find a sheep, secretly a few times can get some wool, and it will not be discovered by the farmer, but if these five or six people are going to collect wool, and the courage is getting bigger and bigger, step by step to increase the number of wool, then, the farmer will soon find that the sheep he raises can't grow hair, they have become bare, so, the behavior of these five or six servants, Naturally, it will be discovered.

The current situation of the railway bureau is that there are too many moths, which is similar to this story, and the consequence of too many moths is that it will soon be exposed, and the moment the wool is significantly reduced, the behavior of the servants who steal the wool will be discovered, and the railway bureau is the same, when many people join in the corruption action, the income of the railway bureau will naturally slow down.
