Chapter 406: Inspecting the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard
Zhu Jie wants to inspect the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, and it is in the situation that he has just taken office, to inspect, but it is beyond the expectations of the nobles and officials of Nanjing City, Longjiang Bao Shipyard, if it is placed a hundred years ago, it is naturally the top priority of Nanjing City, almost all the warships of the Ming Dynasty come from here, but over the years, the imperial court has even been stretched to maintain armaments on the road, where is the time to take care of maritime affairs?
Now Longjiang Bao Shipyard, has long since ceased to be the grand occasion of the year, the towering scenery of the treasure ship has also been blown away by the rain and wind, every year now even a few decent ships have not been built, the loss of personnel is serious, the income is beyond the means, has been Songjiang and Fuzhou shipyards to leave far behind.
Longjiang Bao Shipyard belongs to the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, the top boss is Nanjing's Ministry of Industry Langzhong, the official title of the fifth grade, although the grade is not high, but in the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, it can be regarded as a fat shortage, after all, there are two or three thousand people in the Longjiang Shipyard below, if you count relatives, I am afraid that there are no tens of thousands of people.
Tong Tinghan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, heard that Zhu Jie was going to inspect the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, and his body trembled with fright.
Tong Tinghan secretly said in his heart, his Ministry of Industry is the most powerless except for the Ministry of Rites, and he has never been leaky, nor has he been notorious, and he has no conflict with him, why did this Zhu Jie target himself?
However, now, fear is no longer a problem, is it afraid that Zhu Jie can let him go?
In desperation, Tong Tinghan hurriedly called Li Keqin, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, and rushed to the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, and at the same time ordered someone to quickly send a letter to the Ministry of Industry Lang Zhong Ye Ming of the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, telling him to immediately prepare to meet the Governor.
Tong Tinghan and Li Keqin changed into fast horses and galloped all the way towards Longjiang Bao Shipyard, where they caught up with Zhu Jie's team.
"Xiaguan Tong Tinghan saw Zhenguo Gong, hehe, Zhen Guogong, why did he suddenly become interested in coming to Longjiang Bao Shipyard to inspect?"
Zhu Jie replied lightly: "Lord Tong, I heard that the warships of more than 2,000 materials in the Ming Dynasty were all built by the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, which is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty sailors, and it is related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations. ”
Tong Tinghan's sweat came out, he has been in Nanjing for five years since he went to Nanjing Ministry of Industry, in the past five years, he has only been to Longjiang Bao Shipyard once, and now he doesn't know what is going on in Bao Shipyard, this is too sudden, I hope Ye Mingkai can fight for himself, at a critical time, you must not drop the chain!
"What Zhen Guogong said is that you are a genius, comparable to Jiang Ziya, who opened the Great Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years, Zhang Zifang, who set the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, Tartar and the thief, are definitely not your opponents, Xia Guan has already informed Lang Zhong Ye Mingkai, who is in charge of the Ministry of Engineering of the Treasure Shipyard, must be waiting at the door now, right?"
Zhu Jie nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, Lord Tong, you and I will inspect the treasure shipyard together, after all, this treasure shipyard is an institution of your Ministry of Industry!" ”
Zhu Jie urged the horse forward, and Tong Tinghan followed closely with a horse's head slightly behind.
Came to the gate of the treasure shipyard, Tong Tinghan's sweat flowed faster, what's going on? Didn't see Ye Mingkai! This bastard, the Governor has arrived, and his boss has also arrived, and he doesn't even have a figure! I don't want to mix it up!
"Lord Tong, is that Lord Ye Mingkai?"
Zhu Jie asked.
Belch......
Tong Tinghan hurriedly wiped his sweat and shouted: "Hu Yanlei, Ye Mingkai, why didn't you see Ye Mingkai?" Today, the Governor came to inspect Longjiang in person, where did he die! And Duan Xiuqing, he is not in the waves, he is not even a foreigner, what do you want to do? Is there still a post-governor in my eyes, and is there still me as the secretary of the Ministry of Works! ”
Hu Yanlei on the side is the third-in-command of the Bao Shipyard, the head of the Ministry of Works, and among the people who greet him here, he has the highest official rank.
Hu Yanlei said in a deep voice: "Hu Yanlei, the head of the Ministry of Officials, see the Governor, see the Lord of the Ministry!" This, after receiving your order, the lower official began to look for Lord Ye and Lord Duan, until now, no one has been found, the lower official is afraid that he will mistake the adult's matter, so he will gather the officials of various ministries without authorization to greet him again! ”
"No one found!"
Tong Tinghan was angry when he ascended, shame, shame to be thrown to his grandmother's house, what did he become of his own household book? can still make such a joke, and when an order goes down, even the official in charge can't be found! Standing next to him was the official Shangshu who held the sword of Shang Fang Tianzi, the governor of Nanzhili, and he would raise his head in the future.
"Ye Mingkai, Duan Xiuqing, you guys are so confused, Lao Tzu must investigate all of you!"
Tong Ting was sweating all over his chest, but the inspection still had to be carried out, after all, Zhu Jie had already arrived at the gate, so let's bite the bullet!
Tong Tinghan looked at Zhu Jie embarrassedly and asked what to do.
Zhu Jie said with a smile: "Since the two adults are not here, then there is Lord Huyan to take us to earn a circle, and walk around, especially there are several workshops such as joinery workshops, painting workshops, twisting workshops, iron workshops, tent workshops, rope workshops, cable workshops, etc., as well as docks, and docks are the top priority!" Lord Huyan, you're familiar with all of this, right? ”
Hu Yanlei said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, Xia Guan has been working in the Treasure Shipyard for more than 20 years, including six years in the dock, five years in the Lifting Division, and more than ten years in the workshops below. ”
Tong Tinghan breathed a long sigh of relief, finally, this Huyanlei can be put to use, and Lao Tzu must give this Huyanlei a reward, well, it's time to raise him to the next level!
"In that case, Zhen Guogong, please!"
Zhu Jie said with a smile: "Whatever the guest is like, wherever Lord Huyan takes me, the governor will follow me, anyway, I want to make a lot of money today!" ”
"In this case, Zhen Guogong, Lord Ministry, please come with the lower officials, we will first inspect the nearest workshop, which is mainly used to produce cables, the thickest rope is the rope on the treasure ship, which is thicker than the human arm and is two coils, all woven with coarse linen, and it is extremely ......strong."
Hu Yanlei was in front, while walking, like Zhu Jie introduced, Zhu Jie nodded secretly, it sounds, this Hu Yanlei is good, clear thinking, solid skills, definitely a practical character, but where did those two leaders go? Weird! Today is on duty, and everyone needs to be on duty!
