This smile was as alienated as he always was, and all the teenagers felt a chill blowing in the wind in the middle of the lake for no reason, and they all stomped their feet. Han Zhao coughed lightly at the right time: "If you don't occupy a seat again, the big pavilion will be snatched away." ”

Miss Liu and the others were not ignorant, so they left immediately.

After walking more than ten steps and about to disappear around the corner, Miss Liu couldn't help but turn her head again and look at Yan Saburo for the last time.

"Don't do it. The cat stretched out on the pole and made a strange noise.

Han Zhao sat still, as if he had eyes on the back of his head: "Miss Liu turned back again, right?"

Yan Saburo didn't answer. It would be wrong to say too much at this time.

At this time, the third crab was served, which was the most famous drunken crab in Fuyu Xiaozhu, in addition to the ordinary wine marinade, it also added a unique secret ingredient, and it tasted delicious.

Crab and wine are a perfect match.

The boy looked at the white cat, and it shook its head, indicating no. Just as a gust of wind blew, the laughter in the big pavilion was also blowing.

It automatically ignored the other words, but heard a female voice say: "...... The earl, there is no official and a half-job. ”

The cat moved the tip of her ear, recognizing that the voice was the woman who had just exposed Miss Liu. Are they talking about Yan Xiaosan?

Miss Liu is obviously not on the right path with her: "My ancestor...... Appreciated ......"

Another male voice said, "The eyes are high and the hands are low...... How many people have been killed?"

Miss Liu was not convinced, and her voice was very annoyed.

The cat looked at Yan Saburo and saw that his face was flat, and he didn't know if he heard it. In the past, it would have leaned over and secretly lectured the few men and women who had no words. But Yan Saburo has been back in Shengyi for more than two years and has always been a controversial figure. It gets tired of teaching others once or twice, two or three times.

What's more, can it really block the mouths of the world?

The white face jumped to the young man's side, raised his paws to wash his face: "He asked you to eat crabs today, does he have something to say?"

Yan Saburo had finished eating, washed his hands again, and then stroked its head until the tip of the tail.

The cat arched its back in comfort.

Han Zhao poured himself a full glass of wine, raised his neck and drank it all before saying, "San Lang, what are your plans for the future?"

The main topic is finally here. The young man's face did not change: "What do you mean?"

"Even if I don't say it, I want to think about it in the next few days. Han Zhao said slowly, "Are you really unwilling to join the ranks?"

"I thought you already knew. ”

"Is it because of the Heavenly Engineering Bureau?" Han Zhao thought for a while, "With your talent, and even with your merits, it will not be a problem to become a little Sima." In another five or eight years, the position of Great Sima will not belong to you. Wouldn't it be justified to preside over what work for David at that time?"

"Rightly so. He said it tactfully, but Yan Saburo understood it all of a sudden, and tasted these four words repeatedly.

Yes, it turns out that he lost the right word. The young man suddenly said: "I see!"

He was silent for a while before he asked Han Zhao, "The king thinks the same way?"

Han Zhao heard his voice slightly bitter, and said calmly at the moment: "At the beginning, you and I have been friends for many years, so I'll just say it." You are not an official, you can be transcendent and loved by everyone, but you prefer to take over the construction of Xicheng. This is the important task of the country, and the king naturally trusts you, but many officials are not convinced. You know all of this, right?"

Yan Saburo nodded.

He has a knighthood and no official, and he is valued by King Wei, and it has long been rumored that he has the grace to save his life in King Wei, so he is honored and tolerated in every way, and even such a big project as Longkouyan is handed over to him to do.

This was originally the work of an official of the Ministry of Water, and I have not heard of it being entrusted to an individual in any other country.

Han Zhao then went on to say:

"You have a lord but no official, but the industry under your name is growing day by day, and everyone regards you as a giant businessman. Han Zhao coughed lightly, "A businessman can't manage state affairs, this is an ancient adage." In the past, even if the private sector participated in such large projects as the Xicheng Plan and Longkouyan, it was only a small project, and it had to be strictly investigated and scrutinized. ”

Yan Saburo smiled, he could still talk in front of Han Zhao: "I saw clearly two years ago that the so-called 'strict investigation and careful examination' is just a matter of eating and taking cards." ”

Before he set off for Taoyuan, Li Kailiang was building the Swallow Tower, and the Xicheng plan had just begun.

For example, "the same stone, the hardness and durability of Nishiyama rock and washed rock are almost the same. However, the Ministry of Industry requires that Longkouyan must be washed with water, just because the Xishan rock is nearby, saving a lot of transportation costs, and the price is only about sixty percent of the washed rock. Li Kailiang repeatedly went to dredge the work, and finally made two thousand taels of silver to open this joint, and he was grateful to Dade. ”

The list goes on and on.

It is not easy to do the Longkou weir and swallow tower project.

The current official is not as good as the current management. No matter how good the relationship between Yan Saburo and King Wei is, he can't trouble Xiao Mi over and over again for these trivial matters all day long, so the Ministry of Industry is really fearless.

Han Zhao was not surprised when he heard this, and only said: "This was originally the work of the Ministry of Industry, and you took it on you." At the beginning, your heart was too big. ”

Yan Saburo said coldly: "If the Xicheng project is handed over to the project, it will cost three times more money, and it may not be able to do it well, and the time will be delayed for at least ten years." ”

"I know that if you can do it according to your plan, it will be a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people. When Han Zhao said this, his throat was also a little blocked, and he poured himself a glass of wine before he could continue:

"If the project is done smoothly, others will not be able to say anything. It's just that you have been in retreat for more than half a year, and the Longkou weir suddenly burst, and the truth is true, which will push you to the forefront at once. ”

"Do you know that in the past 50 days, there have been no less than 30 copies of your book!" Han Zhao smiled bitterly, "During the court discussion, the ministers reprimanded you in the court, and those who spoke fiercely no less than seven or eight times! They all blamed you for the reason why the Longkou weir burst its embankment, and even the flooding of the Lanjiang River and the displacement of the people. ”

Yan Saburo's face was not good-looking.

The floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Lanjiang River have flooded countless fertile fields, and the people have also been exposed to the wilderness, and the living have wailed and fled. If any courtier blames him for this crime, it is indeed vicious.

But he also understands that if such a big thing happens, someone must take responsibility. If Qingle Bo can be used as a scapegoat, many officials will applaud.

"You're not in court, and you can't even argue for yourself. Shi Congyi and I are also military generals, and we will not go to the court every day, and it is not good to point fingers at major matters of people's livelihood. "During the Taiping period, the light military attaché and the protector of the country did not often go to the court to comfort the monarch's heart. Han Zhao continued to mention Yan Saburo, "Even if the king trusts you, but in three days, there are people who will join you and reprimand you, so that he feels that he is not a person, and this favor will be consumed sooner or later." ”
