In Jia Mu's courtyard, Lin Daiyu lives.

"Why don't you tell Brother Jiao directly and ask him to try to avoid Sister Xing?"

As soon as Si Qi explained his purpose of coming, Daiyu raised questions on the spot.

"this……"

Siqi was stunned for a moment, and then he left shyly and said, "Sorry to bother you, girl. I will find a way to send a message to Uncle Jiao right now."

Previously, she had only thought of trying to stop Xing Xiuyan, but under this blindness, she actually forgot that informing Jiao Shun was the simplest and most effective way.

At this time, Lin Daiyu pointed it out to her face. She felt extremely embarrassed for a moment, and wanted to say goodbye and leave with her red head and face.

"Sister, don't worry."

At this time, Lin Daiyu called Siqi. A little hesitation flashed across her pretty and delicate face, but she soon became firm again and said without any doubt: "Leave this matter to me. I will go and talk to you in the evening."

Sister Xing, please make it clear."

"this……"

Faced with Lin Daiyu's overwhelming offer, Si Qi was somewhat hesitant and subconsciously asked: "What are you going to do, Miss Lin? I'm afraid it may not be possible to convince Miss Xing alone..."

"Don't worry."

Lin Daiyu said confidently: "Actually, I have some ideas for a long time. If I take this opportunity to give it a try, I might be able to get the best of both worlds."

Best of both worlds?

How can this kind of thing have the best of both worlds?

Could it be that the Jiao Shun was cut into two equal pieces?

Should it be split horizontally or vertically?

Si Qi's thoughts were uncontrollably diverging in the direction of relieving his anger. He wanted to ask more questions, but then he thought that he could follow them quietly and listen to what they said face to face, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After thanking Lin Daiyu, he went back home.

…………

Jiao Shun received the invitation from Jia Zheng in the Secretary Affairs Office, and his first reaction was to press his hand on his temples, which were trembling with excitement.

It was originally expected that he would be promoted to the head of the Department of General Affairs after one year of employment, that is, after October. However, it suddenly happened two months earlier. Although it was a good thing, it also completely disrupted Jiao Shun's plan.

.

In addition, although Zhang Cheng was not involved in the case, it was obviously impossible for him to hold the position of master again after his only son was imprisoned. With Jia Yun as a half-timer, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui could barely do it, and they expected him to serve as the chief minister

The hall quickly opened up the situation, but it was nothing more than wishful thinking.

Therefore, Jiao Shun has been busy day and night since before joining the job, and has not had a sound sleep for several days.

In terms of his true nature, in this situation of physical and mental exhaustion, he did not want to go to Jia Zheng's house to gossip and trade business. If he had this free time, wouldn't it be nice to sleep with Jia Zheng's daughter-in-law in his arms?

?

But how many people in this world can act according to their true intentions?

What's more, based on Jiao Shun's understanding of Jia Zheng, this senior Jian Zheng, besides holding back his words and wanting to scold Fang Qiu in front of him, was also somewhat envious of the big commotion he had made in the capital.

Due to both emotion and reason, he had to go and comfort him to prevent a fire in the backyard.

Uh~

It always feels a little weird to describe Jia Zheng as his own backyard, but that's how it works.

After making up his mind, Jiao Shun returned his attention to government affairs.

Now all parties in the Ministry of Industry think that he will start to prepare for the comprehensive promotion of the New Deal in various departments after taking initial control of the Department of Affairs. After all, the benefits of work-study have been confirmed in Gyeonggi, Zhili and other places - assistance

The benefits of learning have not yet emerged, but the idea of ​​stimulating workers' enthusiasm has already received good feedback.

But in fact, Jiao Shun listed the promotion of the New Deal as a secondary task.

Because even if we start moving forward from now, it will still be October or even November before a preliminary agreement is reached. As a result, sending out a promotion inspection team will have to wait until next spring anyway.

As for initial results...

Considering that the coverage this time is far greater than before, it is considered a successful promotion if we can get positive feedback before winter.

In short, no matter how anxious you are, it is unlikely that you will achieve results in a short time. As long as you follow the steps and complete it before the end of the year.

Even though this is a step-by-step process, achievements are indispensable in the end.

But is Jiao Shun someone who is content with the status quo?

How could the emperor continue to invest more energy in a small official who was not enterprising?

Therefore, just like when he first joined the handyman office, Jiao Shun's primary goal as a new official this time is to make big news!

As for the materials he needs to make news, he already has it in his hands.

After thinking again and again, Jiao Shun took out a pen and paper and wrote down the first initiative he made after being promoted to the head of the Department of General Affairs - the Department of General Affairs is mainly a link between the top and the bottom, not only accepting the government orders from above, but also urging the subordinates to act according to the orders.

The Department of General Affairs has no jurisdictional relationship with each department. Even if there are certain things, it can only make suggestions. However, given the various real powers of the Department of General Affairs, these initiatives are often no different from government orders. Of course, if something goes wrong with these initiatives,

Companies are not polite when shirking their responsibilities.

After the review was correct, Jiao ordered Shuan Zhu to invite Liu Changyou to come over to discuss the matter.

As the saying goes, a person can ascend to heaven if he attains enlightenment. After Jiao Shun was promoted to head of the Department of Affairs, Liu Changyou was also transferred to the Department of Affairs and served as one of the four officials [eighth rank], while the Fu Cheng [ninth rank] he left behind was

The position was taken over by the official Xu Dabao.

As for Zhao Yan, because his academic qualifications were not strong enough and he was not a craftsman official that the emperor wanted to promote, he still stayed in his original position and was unable to take over the office of miscellaneous workers instead of Jiao Shun.

As mentioned before, it is rare for a craftsman officer to be promoted to the eighth rank, let alone the eighth rank of the Department of Justice.

Liu Changyou can be regarded as breaking through the barriers and shackles of the craftsman official, so he has been like a chicken blood recently. Not only did he rush here super fast, but his voice is also a bit louder than before.

However, after reading the proposal handed over by Jiao Shun, his eyebrows immediately curled up, and he said with some disbelief: "Sir, is this too cheap for the Ordnance Department? This Ordnance Department has always

You are so domineering and have repeatedly put us in trouble with our handymen, but you have to give up the method of sealing components. This is too..."

After developing the kerosene synthesis process, Jiao Shun ordered Liu Changyou to try to overcome the problem of insufficient airtightness of the breech-loading gun, and provided some information for later generations as a reference.

In the end, Liu Changyou really did it!

"What a handyman's office!"

Jiao Shun knocked on the table with his fingers: "This is the Secretary Affairs Department, and you are the Secretary of the Secretary Affairs Department!"

After a pause, he added: "Don't just focus on the petty profits in front of you. Even if we contribute this method of improving airtightness directly to the top, won't it end up in the hands of the Ordnance Department?"

Although Liu Changyou did not contradict him when he heard this, he was still reluctant in his heart.

After all, this so-called airtight component was made with great difficulty under Jiao Shun's 'enlightenment' and took him half a year's hard work. Before he even got over it, he had to share it with the Ordnance Department in the name of joint development. It was really...

…

Even if you donate things to the top, you will definitely not be able to bypass the Ordnance Department in the end, but at least you will always get the credit, right?

Moreover, he can let out a good breath of bad breath and let those high-minded guys in the Ordnance Department know what he is capable of.

"That's why I said, we need to take a longer view."

Seeing that Liu Chang was unwilling to do so, Jiao Shun further explained: "At this time, if we come up with results related to ordnance, how much benefit can we gain besides slapping the Ordnance Department in the face?"

"It's better to use it as an appeasement. Firstly, it will show that we understand the general situation, and secondly, I also want to use this to get a piece of the Ordnance Department's pie!"

"Get a piece of the Ordnance Department's pie?"

"That's right."

Jiao Shun said with burning eyes: "The Ordnance Department has been established for more than a year. Apart from nit-picking to improve the quality of ordnance, there has been no major breakthrough in the manufacturing of ironclad ships, which has attracted the most attention, or the issue that the artillery range is slightly weaker than that of Xiyi.

."

"Although the imperial court does not expect results to be produced so soon, the pressure on the Ordnance Department is increasing day by day."

"At this time, we use the sealed components as bait, and propose that on this basis, the Department of Affairs and the Ordnance Department jointly create a continuous musket that transcends the times. Isn't it far better than presenting the sealed components alone?"

Liu Changyou was a little excited when he heard this. The significance and contribution of participating in or even guiding the production of a new type of musket is naturally more than ten times greater than providing any sealed component alone.

But the problem is...

"Will the Ordnance Department agree? In the past year or so, whatever secret techniques they need to use, they have directly asked for transfer from above."

"That's why we have to take the initiative to 'give up' this recipe so that we can gain the upper hand." When Jiao Shun said this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "If they still want to grab it head-on, then it's up to me.
Chapter completed!
