Chapter 18: Sincerity (Part 4)
Because the Confucius Temple was about to be completed, the six bigwigs heard that the office conditions here were a bit good, so they all sent their lackeys to inquire if they could get some benefits for their ministry.
For this reason, the neuropaths of the Ministry of Rites finally shook their prestige. They had a very hard life, but because of the Wenxuan Wang Temple, it can be said that they have gained fame and fortune.
The name will not mention it, this is the grace of His Majesty the Great Bright and Correct Emperor, to be kept in mind. As for this city, it fell on red bricks and cement.
Anyway, I don't know which big guy started the bad first, anyway, after mixing ten bags of cement-covered latrines from Lao Zhang, there was immediately a group of stinky and shameless wild dogs who came running to the lion and opened their mouths.
Isn't the Mansion in ruins? After Zhang Liang and Li reconciled, the dead fat man actually ran directly in front of Zhang De, and then said: See if you can get 50,000 catties of cement to use.
If it weren't for the fear that the emperor would be mad, Zhang De would have wanted to kill him on the spot.
So although he nested at the construction site to hide from the princess and the prince, it was useless, and there were many people who were not afraid of the dust on the construction site. In order to rub the oil, no matter how brazen things are, you can do them.
Half of the 20,000 catties of cement burned at the end of January were stolen, can you believe it!
In desperation, Lao Zhang had no choice but to find someone who could speak in the Ministry of Rites, and then found Sun Fujia, the messenger of justice, to tell him about this difficulty. The people from the Ministry of Rites said, this is my dick, you go to Sun Shaoqing.
Sun Fujia's face twitched, although I am a messenger of justice, but junior brother, do you know how many powerful people steal your cement?
Lao Zhang then asked him with a dark face, aren't you a messenger of justice?
Sun Fujia had a straight face: I just want to be a living messenger of justice.
What you say makes so much sense that I'm speechless.
Zhang Dexin said that if it goes on like this, it will miss Lao Tzu's construction period, and it is a trivial matter to be hung up by the emperor and beaten, and the money eaten in the key must be spit out, how can this be endured?
Grit your teeth. Lao Zhang said to the group of bastards in the Ministry of Rites: Colleagues, you pull your brother, and the younger brother will also reciprocate sincerely.
The group of poor bastards in the Ministry of Rites are very direct: What sincerity?
Spring was still a little cold, and the poor sour eyes of the Ministry of Rites were shining, first rubbing their noses with their fingers, and then putting their hands in their sleeves. It's like an old farmer in Longyou.
This cement, I came out in batches of 3,000 catties in ten years, and without the strips of your Ministry of Rites, others can't get it, how about it?
Then the poor sour people began to thunderbolt and make small calculations, three thousand catties a ten, nine thousand catties a month, this business can be.
Don't do it!
Zhang De said earnestly: "This is a lot, don't be too greedy." The Emperor stared. β
"Fifteen thousand catties a month, or I can't help but talk about it. It took 500 catties to build a toilet at the Confucian Restaurant. β
"10,000 catties, plus 20,000 bricks."
"Since Zhang Jian Cheng is so sincere, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, how can they see death and not save it? It's up to us! β
The people in the Ministry of Rites are talking about etiquette, which is very good. Very honest.
Then one night, the Gangsters asked their family to bring five wagons. Go to the construction site of Wenxuan Wang Temple to steal cement. As a result, before he could start his move, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites immediately took off his official robe, lay on the ground and shouted: "Kill someone!" Beat the court officials! The military department is still a slave and hurts peopleβ"
Five or six foreign officials and the head of the Ministry of Rites roared out in one voice, anyway, they went to the ground, and then the soot was wiped on the face, and the official robe was pierced with two holes......
The gangsters in Fenzhou were stunned on the spot. What the hell is this!
The next day, Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, was ideologically educated by the Heavenly Khan, and severely criticized the bad style of the nobles in Jingzhong, and said that if some people who used public money for private purposes did not restrain themselves. Don't blame the Emperor for not greeting you in advance.
Don't be unpredictable!
Then the Ministry of Rites became a fragrant dumpling, and the emperor also gave thirty-two likes, no way, theoretically, the Wenxuan Wang Temple is the emperor's industry, so any materials used in the construction of the Wenxuan Wang Temple are the emperor's private property.
Private property is sacrosanct, and whoever violates it will be punished by the emperor.
So after Zhang De had an extra title of "the Virtuous Brother", the cattle of the Ministry of Rites have been living a good life recently, at least Chunminglou can go, and their voices are very loud.
invited Zhang De to eat, and just after crossing the threshold, he roared: "Hurry up and get ten catties of beef!" β
"Lang Jun, this killing cattle is illegal, this beef is ......"
"Don't you know that there will be a cow outside Chang'an City today that is going to commit suicide?"
When he said this, the head of the Ministry of Rites threw out a piece of silver cake.
"Lang Jun Shen, there is a big black cow today, fat and strong, but I don't know why, he actually committed suicide by throwing himself into the river."
"Can you eat water-filled beef?"
"The cow threw himself into the river and didn't die, and jumped off the cliff."
"Well, go and get back."
After finishing the ceremony, the director of the Ministry of Rites said to Zhang De: "Don't blame the virtuous brother of Cao, the little guy here has always been not very clever, which makes the virtuous brother of Caozhi laugh." β
"It's okay, it's okay......"
Lao Zhang's heart directly began to dog: Nima, the Tang Dynasty began to play this trick, Lao Tzu still thought that the scene of wild animals committing suicide on the table would only exist after 1,500 years.
Zhang De silently gave social science another fork in his heart: pseudoscience.
After eating and drinking, the people in the Ministry of Rites euphemistically expressed to Zhang Caozhi that there were some local friends who wanted to get acquainted, but they didn't know if Cao Zhi's virtuous brother would appreciate his face.
Reward, definitely reward, the magistrate has a lot of oil and water!
Then the top representatives of Gyeonggi counties came over to sell a cute look with a flattering face, anyway, it was to climb the relationship, and then also said in a roundabout way that although the county is a little poor, there are still many gentry who are rich and conscientious.
Lao Zhang then smiled: All the people who came were friends, and it didn't hurt to say it directly.
They said bluntly: Zhang Jiancheng, if you look at cement and red bricks, can they also expand the scale of reproduction?
Zhang Dehu's body was shocked, and he felt at that time that people who could be officials were all human beings! Wang Zhong of Taigu County knows how to attract investment, there is no reason why colleagues near Chang'an are stupid?
So why didn't you do it before?
After knocking on the side, the corners of the county representatives' mouths twitched: hemp rope? That's just a few bucks.
It's lost under it.
So Zhang De was very sincere: "Everyone, cement red bricks, this official is here, all the way is smooth." But the two things involve the Wenxuan Wang Temple, the Ministry of Rites, you have to take care of it. β
"Zhang Jiancheng rest assured, we are very sincere."
Then Zhang De got drunk, took a beef leg, two beef tenderloins, a bag of beef tendons, and a box of local products given by the county representatives, and returned to his long-lost home in Puningfang.
"How did Ah Lang go home and sleep?"
When Xue Zhaonu saw Zhang De coming back, he hurriedly threw the pine nut shell into the basket, and then welcomed Zhang De into the door.
"Da Lang Jiro!"
"Lang Jun, what do you command?"
"Send the beef leg from the car to the kitchen to hang up, and a box of souvenirs, take it lightly, don't break it."
Zhang Liqing ran over to fight the beef leg, and then Xue Zhaonu went to help lift the beef tenderloin, and by the way, taste whether the beef tendon was broken. Zhang Lihong ran over to move the box, and said that the local specialty weighed? As a result, I smashed myself in the foot when I moved it.
"Ouch!"
Bang!
The chest cracked and scattered gold bars all over the floor...... (To be continued......)
