Chapter 29                                                             �

Of course, Zhou Mengchen was a tragic matter at the grassroots level of the Ming Dynasty. He had been in the most grassroots Jiangxia Yamen. Although he had never participated in many things, he had not seen them.

To be honest, are the lives of the people in Beijing good?

In Zhou Mengchen's opinion, it may not be very good.

But who should I compare with?

For example, compared with the people from all over the world, it is still good.

Not to mention anything else, this is a hurry. The people are fighting to beat the drum. Although civil servants and Jinyiwei jointly guarded each other, they may not be able to ring. Even if they ring, they may not be useful. But at least it is a thought. In addition, the palace in the late Ming Dynasty was not strictly prohibited, and there were many people who broke into the palace.

No matter how good or bad the emperor always needs some face and decentness.

But how blatant and unscrupulous the people and corrupt officials in various places fully explain what the emperor is like to be far away.

It’s just that these social problems that Yang Hongliang thought were very confused. Zhou Mengchen didn’t know how to solve them, so he told him what socialist theory and contradictions meant. But these words are ordinary things that later generations seem to be, and they must be cautious in this era.

Zhou Mengchen had made some remarks and opinions that were not friendly to Cheng and Zhu's learning. They were just learning about Cheng and Zhu's learning. Now they have many opposing Cheng and Zhu's learning.

But if Zhou Mengchen said these words, he would really dig into the roots of Confucianism.

Zhou Mengchen could not withstand the counterattack of civil officials.

This is not consistent with Zhou Mengchen's previous plan. Even close comrades like Zhang Juzheng and Yin Zhengmao may not help Zhou Mengchen.

He could only say some general and empty words about Yang Hongliang's doubts.

However, he felt a little uneasy: Marxism is a social science developed based on science. With the spread of scientific ideas, when someone uses scientific methods to study society, one day someone will summarize these things.

He may not be Marx.

But there will definitely be some.

What will happen to the Ming Dynasty then?

Zhou Mengchen suddenly remembered Gorky's Haiyan and said intimately: "So I am the wavemaker before the storm comes."

This is a point he had never thought about before. It also brought him deeper thinking.

After all, thought creates the future. If there is a dream that is everyone’s dream, then it will definitely be the future.

Zhou Mengchen only felt that every move he had become heavier.

Soon, Zhou Mengchen's appointment process was completed and finally came to Zhou Mengchen's hands.

Zhou Mengchen officially became the head of the Ministry of Works Yuheng Department.

Zhou Mengchen dressed up and reported to the Ministry of Works on time.

Originally, Zhou Mengchen should have sent someone to take office by the Ministry of Personnel, but I don’t know if the Ministry of Personnel forgot this matter or if some people were in a small dilemma. Zhou Mengchen just thought he didn’t know. He came to the Ministry of Works with the documents he took office and asked to meet the Minister of Works.

The famous sect just handed in. Someone came out to greet him.

Zhou Mengchen went in to salute and said, "I have met Shangshu Li."

Zhou Mengchen only knew that the Shangshu was called Li Shiao, and it seemed that he had a close relationship with Xia Yan, so he did not check the others in detail. He was very cautious at this moment, for fear that Li Shiao would find fault. Although Zhou Mengchen was confident that he had an emperor as the backstage, he was not afraid of anything.

However, Zhou Mengchen was not willing to get into troublesome personnel struggles, and it would be best for both sides to make concessions. No interference.

Li Shiao said, "Uncle can be so happy recently?"

Zhou Mengchen was stunned when he heard this and said, "Uncle Zhang has just entered the Hanlin Academy recently and joined Lord Xu's disciple."

Li Shiao said: "Tell Uncle Zhang not to have the teacher Xu Nian, so I forgot about me. Sometimes, let him come to my house for a drink. I understand."

Zhou Mengchen said, "The lower official understands."

Li Shiao said, "There is nothing else. Do you understand what you do when you come to the Ministry of Works? If you do it well, everything is easy to say. Even if there is anything on Mr. Xia, I will hold you back. If you can't do it well? Even if there is an emperor as the backstage, I will change it, what should I do?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "The officials understand. Please rest assured that the officials agreed to will definitely do the things they promised."

Li Shiao said, "Go. You are the head of Yu Hengsi. Someone outside took you to find the Minister of Tu. He is your boss."

Then Li Shiao lowered his head, as if he was reading some documents. He ignored Zhou Mengchen.

Yes, Zhou Mengchen's only sixth-rank official actually doesn't need to report his work directly to the Shangshu. It's just that Zhou Mengchen's identity is special. Li Shiao came to meet and said a few words.

However, Zhou Mengchen also heard that although Li Shiao said it seriously, his confidence was a bit lacking. It was just that his Shangshu's airs and his boss's identity could not be defeated. After all, Confucianism talks about superiors and inferiors most.

Zhou Mengchen had no intention of exposing this.

There was only one thing, but he was full of doubt in his heart and said to himself: "What is his relationship with Zhang Juzheng? Also, Zhang Juzheng has such a relationship with him, why didn't he tell me?"

However, what he thought in his heart, he still took his leave honestly.

Go and find Mr. Tu.

Mr. Tu is named Tu Kai, who is from Guilin, Guangxi. His official language is filled with a glimmer of Guangdong accent, which makes Zhou Mengchen feel a little uncomfortable. He said: "Yu Hengshi has two chief officials, one chief officials are mainly responsible for the Baoquan Bureau and the other is specialized in the Military Weapon Bureau. You are responsible for the Military Weapon Bureau. Remember, the Military Weapon Bureau is responsible for the production of military ordnance in the Beijing camp. This is the top priority. There are more than 8,000 craftsmen in the book below, and they allocate more than 40,000 taels of silver every year. The responsibility is heavy. You must not be neglected when taking office in a new official."

"First go back and check out the annual regulations of the Military Weapons Bureau. It is a weapon that must be produced every year. Don't talk about other things first. This is a dead order and must be completed."

Zhou Mengchen said, "The lower official understands."

To be honest, he was a little surprised by the power of his sixth-rank official.

Not to mention anything else, Zhou Mengchen can manage 8,000 people at once.

In later generations, a general manager of an 8,000-person large military factory was definitely a position that Zhou Mengchen had never thought of.

When he was in the Imperial Heaven Prison, the staff were simple, just like the research institutes in later generations, so Zhou Mengchen did not think it was a big deal when he got the position of deputy to the Imperial Heaven Prison. After all, even if he became the Imperial Heaven Prison, the people under him were only those few hundred people.

But now it's different. I have taken care of eight thousand people in my hands at once.

And he directly supplied 300,000 yuan in Beijing. Although he probably received too many empty salary now, it was still a large army's logistics service. He suddenly felt like he was promoted by himself.

I can't calculate what kind of official position I would have in my future life for a while?

Is the Ordnance Department of the General Staff’s Lower Fourth Headquarters? It seems that it is not right. He only cares about production and does not care about distribution. Distribution is the business of the Ministry of War.

Anyway.

For a moment, Zhou Mengchen felt that he was responsible for it.

Tu Kai did not leave Zhou Mengchen for much. Zhou Mengchen was led by the officials outside to his duty room in the Ministry of War.

The duty room is not big, it is just a small courtyard. At this moment, there are nearly a hundred people waiting for Zhou Mengchen in the yard.

After all, the Military Weapons Bureau is actually a general term, with many factories of all sizes and large. The largest one is the armor factory and the Wang Gong factory. That is the Wang Gong factory of the Apocalypse explosion.

So many factories need management personnel. Zhou Mengchen looked at the people below, but the Jingwei was clearly divided into three groups.

One group of officials.

Many of the elderly officials in the yamen are hereditary. They are no different from those officials in Jiangxia County. They are fully prepared for their faces. They are respectful and cannot find any mistakes.

The other group is craftsmen.

These craftsmen were all old craftsmen, each dressed in rags and hungry faces. They didn't look up at Zhou Mengchen at all. The four words "Haven and fear" were written on their faces.

Craftsmen are the most indispensable people in the Ministry of Works. However, they are also the group of people with the lowest status. In the early Ming Dynasty, there were often officials from craftsmen in the Ministry of Works, but now they are gone. It is also conceivable that the decline in the status of craftsmen is.

The last group was the eunuch.

These eunuchs usually rely on their relationship in the palace and never give anyone their face. No matter who comes to be the head, they always put their eyes on their foreheads. Needless to say, the fox is pretending to be a tiger. But now it is very different.
