The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 236
Returning to his hometown, Zheng Xiong is in a completely different mood at the moment.

The Ministry of Industry can be said to be the Yamen that Zheng Xiong came to the most.

It is also a lot of dealings.

From the establishment of Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau to the subsequent series of construction projects, the Ministry of Industry is indispensable.

From a small official to the chief official of Ying Tianfu, the Ministry of Industry also witnessed Zheng Xiong's rise step by step.

The change of status also brings different treatment.

In the past, it was always the receptionist from the Ministry of Industry, but now when Zheng Xiong came in, Zheng Xiong's robe alone was daunting.

After a year, the people in the Ministry of Industry have changed a lot, but I haven't seen any familiar faces.

Others were afraid and did not dare to go forward, so Zheng Xiong went straight to the Ministry of Industry and asked.

"I have a blueprint here, show me how much it will cost."

Hearing this, the head of the Ministry of Industry, who was busy, looked up and saw Zheng Xiong's third-rank official uniform. He quickly swallowed the words that came to his mouth, put on a smiling face, got up and saluted, and asked respectfully.

"My lord is very polite. I'm a lower official. May I ask your lord's name?"

The attitude of the new boss was okay, he just asked for his name, although he didn't know him, Zheng Xiong still told him his name.

"My official, Zheng Xiong, is currently the Governor of Yingtian Mansion, please take a look at this blueprint."

The chief didn't dare to take too much credit, Zheng Xiong's name is well-known in Yingtian Mansion, and it was the top topic of the topic during this time.

It can be seen from the two consecutive seals.

Not to mention that Zheng Xiong is still an impressive role in the Ministry of Industry, so he quickly bowed and took the drawings.

After looking at it for a while, he replied.

"Your Excellency builds too many things. Regardless of other factors such as size and interior furnishings, if it is built by our Ministry of Industry, it will cost about 20 guns."

"what?"

It was really dark, and Zheng Xiong was taken aback. His own property was only one hundred thousand guan, and even with the money from the pharmacy, it was enough.

And that doesn't take into account the furnishings, that is, the interior decoration.

It is equivalent to spending money to build a blank, and the 20 guan is gone, but I have nothing left.

In the end, the unfinished building was properly completed, and when something happened, the entire Yingtian Mansion would go bankrupt.

Such a high price was really out of Zheng Xiong's budget, so he couldn't help but exclaimed.

Seeing this, the principal explained a few sentences.

"My lord, you have a lot of things to build. The price is still based on the general construction. If you use better materials, you will definitely be able to beat 20 guan."

Hearing this, Zheng Xiong's heart was already chilled.

I can't beat 20 hits, so what else can I say.

Besides, today is different from the past, I am no longer a big dog in that pharmacy, and I can make whatever I want when I have money.

Now that he is in charge of Yingtian Mansion, he is asking for money from top to bottom, so he really can't do such a desperate move.

Facing this unbearable burden, Zheng Xiong retreated and said immediately.

"Forget it, I will go back and think about it again, let's go."

"Your Excellency, please."

After finishing speaking, the principal smiled and sent Zheng Xiong to the door, watching Zheng Xiong leave.

After visiting the Ministry of Industry, Zheng Xiong felt depressed for a while, not meeting his expectations.

Going back to the government office sullenly, Zheng Xiong didn't think about it, and lay his body in front of the table.

If you don't have money, it's useless to think about it.

Seeing Zheng Xiong's expression, the others didn't dare to touch the bad luck, after all, the new official took office without putting any of the three fires.

No one knows when Zheng Xiong will ignite the first fire in order to establish authority, so everyone is cautious.

In this way, I stayed at ease until the afternoon.

At some point, Tong San walked in and said respectfully to Zheng Xiong who was warming himself by the fire.

"Fu Yin, there is a case outside, because officials are involved, and the Lord Fu Yin is required to go to make a ruling. I wonder if the Lord Fu Yin is free."

Hearing this, Zheng Xiong put away his hands warming the fire.

Just in a panic, he stood up, walked forward, and said to the judge as he walked.

"Let's go, lead the way."

In the lobby, Zheng Xiong walked slowly from the side.

In the solemn courtroom, Zheng Xiong walked to the desk step by step and sat on a chair.

Looking at the affairs on the desk, gavels, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, tokens, etc. came into view.

In the middle of the desk, a flat-out petition was quietly laid out, waiting to be read.

Under the stage, there were two people kneeling, one of them was dressed plainly and had a sad face.

One person has the temperament of a scholar, with a smile on his face, as if he has a chance to win.

Two different people, from which we can see the difference between the defendant and the plaintiff.

Zheng Xiong took the complaint and watched quietly.

The content of the complaint is a story of borrowing money.

The defendant took the money from the plaintiff with the real estate and land of the family, but now the date has come, but the defendant refused to return it, and now the dispute is in court.

After reading the complaint, Zheng Xiong looked at Tongjuan suspiciously.

As if he knew the meaning in Zheng Xiong's gaze, Tong San explained.

"My lord, the defendant is the son of a thousand households. Because he has been guarding other places all year round, his mother died young at home, so he is the only one in Yingtian Mansion."

"The person who is suing now also has a background. He is the nephew of the right servant of the Ministry of War."

After Zheng Xiong listened, he said speechlessly.

"Because these two have backgrounds, so call me to take the blame!"

Although he didn't quite understand the term "blaming the blame", Tong San sensed a trace of displeasure from Zheng Xiong's displeased face, and quickly explained.

"To be honest, my lord, there are some problems with the loan. It was a dispute for gambling. The interest was too heavy and I couldn't pay it back. According to the law, I should be punished, but how to punish it is difficult, so~~"

Zheng Xiong spoke directly, interrupting Tong San's words.

"It's still not the same after a long time. They came here according to the law. They are divided into officials and eunuchs."

"After the trial, copy the law a hundred times, and hand it over to the official for a look. I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for you."

This penalty, whether it is serious or not, is really uncomfortable, a hundred times, what a waste of paper!

However, compared to offending people, it still makes the judge feel that it is acceptable, and he bows down.

Ignoring the judgment, Zheng Xiong turned his eyes to the audience and asked.

"Two, one is the nephew of the right servant of the Ministry of War, and the other is the son of a thousand families. They have profound backgrounds! If you want me to tell you, it's better to have a deeper background than someone else's family. You guys say so."

Zheng Xiong said such intriguing words in a slightly teasing tone.

The expressions of the two people in the audience were also different.

One person's expression became more and more distressed, and he lowered his head even lower.

One person is more satisfied, after all, according to Zheng Xiong's judgment, the obvious advantage lies in himself.

The proud man quickly thanked him.

"Although this is true, I am not a bullying person. This excuse clearly states that he is a bit messy and entangled. I hope that the Lord can handle it fairly and be fair next time."

Give you a face, you really climbed up, which made Zheng Xiong a little speechless.

However, what he said in the next few words still made sense, and Zheng Xiong didn't pursue it too much.
