"You said there was a riot at a construction site?!"

Unable to keep his composure any longer, Grigory slapped the table and let out an angry roar at his subordinates standing in front of him.

The poor member shuddered and stammered, "Yes, yes, Minister. Two days ago, there was a riot at a construction site in Hirnia, and we haven't investigated the exact cause yet, but we can be sure that it wasn't our fault!"

Gregory's lips pursed into a curve, the corners of his mouth sank, his brow furrowed tightly, and his eyes seemed to glint with a fierce light, making the members standing in front of him tremble.

After closing his eyes, Grigory took a deep breath, "...... Go down!"

The member hurriedly bowed slightly to his minister, and then turned to leave the office.

Grigory slumped into his chair, his back pressed against the soft back, as if he were sinking in.

It was hard for him to imagine why there was a riot at the construction site.

The way they pay them is food, and in today's empire, the most scarce thing is food, and if money is issued, it is impossible for the workers to buy much food, let alone fill the stomachs of their families, and even it is difficult to fill their own stomachs.

In this difficult winter, many grain merchants have raised their prices, and he also feels very angry, but he has nothing to do, because grain merchants have backgrounds, and the grain merchants who dare to raise prices at such times and will not be punished are mostly a powerful nobleman standing behind them.

Therefore, he made the decision to use 'food' as the method of payment, and it stands to reason that it is the one who cannot riot in such a situation......

But this is the case, there were riots not only at the railway construction site, but also from within the workers!

Obviously, he had ordered people to keep an eye on those bullies and prevent them from robbing others of their salaries, but why did this kind of thing happen?

What a joke about the riots that took place two days ago and the cause of which has not been ascertained until now!

Gregory opened his eyes suddenly, and with a flash of violence in his eyes, he got up, grabbed his cane and coat, pushed the door and left the office.

"Minister!"

"Minister. ”

"Minister's ......"

As he left the headquarters of the Imperial Manufacturing Department, many people bowed to him along the way, and they all noticed the angry look on his face.

They didn't know what was going on to make the normally moody minister show such a level of resentment.

They didn't dare to come forward to ask, so they could only watch as their minister left the manufacturing department in a rage, got into the carriage, and didn't know where to go.

Gregory sat in the carriage, and on the way to the Palace of Eternal Day, he still couldn't calm down.

There must be someone behind this who is making trouble, to use a big rebellious sentence he learned from the Principality of Sorrowful Wind is 'Tiangao Emperor is far away', His Majesty's orders can't be conveyed to those places, and even the reputation of the manufacturing department is not good!

The top of the manufacturing department has the waste that has been planted in the 'Budia Ken', let alone the low-level, who knows how many useless goods are planted by the nobles?

At a railway construction site, the person in charge of logistics is a fat man, and I don't know how many people want to get this errand.

It was a dereliction of duty for him not to be able to go through all the appointments because he was busy with affairs before, and if he had paid attention to this matter in the first place, maybe this kind of thing would not have happened now!

This must have something to do with the 'deputy minister', but Gregory didn't know exactly who of the three was, but as long as he found out, that person didn't want to stay in that position.

Budia Ken was a suspicious object, and the other two should not be able to do such a stupid thing except for him, and they were both well aware of the importance His Majesty attached to this matter.

Although it is not possible to draw conclusions at this time, it is basically possible to lock down the 'prisoners'...... It could be a good opportunity to oust Boudia Ken from that position.

Sitting in the carriage, Gregory's face was cloudy, since the matter was irreparable, then he was going to use this matter to attack the old nobles and cut off their hands that had reached into the manufacturing department!

What if they get angry again? The seriousness of this matter has long exceeded their imagination.

"Your Excellency, the Palace of Eternal Day has arrived. ”

A reminder came from outside the carriage, and Gregory raised his eyes and reached out to push open the door of the carriage.

The majestic walls of the Eternal Day Palace appeared in front of his eyes, and to his greatest surprise, Calvin was also here!

But when he saw the expression on Calvin's face, he already understood the reason why Calvin was here-

Just like yourself!

A hint of surprise flashed in Calvin's eyes when he saw Gregory, then he looked left and right, and then stepped forward.

"You got the message?" the research maniac asked in a low, unusual, voice.

Gregory could feel his suppressed resentment, bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The matter cannot be undone, so take this opportunity to chop off the hands of those old nobles to prevent future troubles!"

Calvin had never seen such a gloomy Gregory, but he thought the same thing.

When he learned about this, he realized what would happen if the people of the old aristocracy continued to stay on their territory.

This riot is a profound lesson for them, and what they need to do now is to prevent this from happening a second time!

After the two of them revealed their identities to the guards of the Eternal Day Palace, the guards opened the side door for them.

They had permission from Caesar XIII, so they could see His Majesty the Emperor at any time, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to enter the door of the Palace of Eternal Day.

They walked briskly through the vast grounds of the Palace of the Eternal Day, stepped up the stairs of the Palace of the Eternal Day, and finally met His Majesty in the study of Caesar XIII under the guidance of the palace attendants.

"What did you two come to me for?"

Caesar XIII, who was dressed casually, put away his joking mood after seeing the grim faces of the two ministers.

Since Caesar XIII had already asked the question, Gregory explained the matter truthfully.

In addition to the three of them in this study, there are probably only guards hidden in the shadows, and there is no need to be too restrained.

After listening to Gregory's account, Caesar XIII's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Originally, it was also a helpless move to let people from the old aristocracy join the R&D department and the manufacturing department, but he never expected that the matter would be so serious.

"Now there is a riot on just one construction site, but the other construction sites have been in operation for so long, and anger and resentment have been building up for so long......," Gregory took a deep breath, "now it only takes a fire to set them on fire!"

And Calvin, who was straightforward, fanned the flames on the side, "Your Majesty, to say a big rebellious word, 'the sky is high and the emperor is far away' - if we personally supervise, they don't dare to do anything, but now that the first railway has been built and we have returned to the imperial capital, there is no one to restrain them!"

Caesar XIII raised his eyebrows, this sentence is not unreasonable, but why does it sound so harsh?

Calvin's words seemed to remind him that as an emperor, he could not really rule the empire's borders, and it seemed like a joke!

In the past, Caesar XIII would not have thought so, but after the establishment of the Duchy of Sorrowful Winds, he became more and more sensitive to such things.

After a moment of silence, Caesar XIII asked in a deep voice, "I give you permission, can you settle this matter?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Neither Gregory nor Calvin hesitated, and replied categorically.

Caesar XIII nodded, "Well, go and cut off the henchmen of the old nobility, I don't want to see this happen again!"

"Yes, my majesty!" (https:)
