Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 633 Chang'an Water Department No.1

Hi!
As soon as Mi Xiaomiao said this, Boss Du was so good-tempered that his nose was almost crooked. He didn't see any flaws from the drawings!I looked at the drawings for a long time, pretended for a long time, and made serious comments, saying that it was very wrong.It took a long time to change the name, and a large character was added in front of the waterwheel!

What kind of inappropriate is this!

Wang Ping'an was taken aback, Ping'an big water truck?Your opinion is good, it is much better than not mentioning it!He clapped his hands vigorously, and said: "Yes, this is indeed a big mistake, why didn't I think of it! Master Mi, thanks for reminding me, otherwise I would have made a big mistake!"

Mi Xiaomiao waved her hand modestly and said: "Small meaning, small meaning. Our family and the prince are so familiar, our family won't think more for you, who can think more for you, you think so?"

The Meng brothers nodded quickly, and said: "Yes, that's right, Master Mi is right! Whoever dares to say wrong, we brothers will be in a hurry!"

Ouyang Li and the others grinned at first, then nodded, and said, "Yes, that's the case, Mr. Mi is really far-sighted and insightful!"

As an official, the first thing to do is to learn how to flatter. Mi Xiaomiao is not a high-ranking official in the court, but he is a high-ranking official in the palace. He has no other skills, but he likes to talk nonsense when he opens his mouth. That stinking mouth, if you say it in a good direction, you have to make him happy and make him feel that he is very important, so if he says something, it will be done as he says, not to mention that the suggestion he made is actually Flatter Wang Ping'an!
Flattery, it's only fun to shoot each other!

But Boss Du is not an official, so he naturally doesn't know what the first priority of being an official is!He asked stupidly: "My lord, isn't the key to building a waterwheel on the blueprint? Why do you want to change the name? The villain can't see what's important!"

Wang Pingan sighed in his heart, this man is too honest to be recruited, and Boss Du is usually not a talkative person, but when it comes to professional knowledge, he actually wants to go into a dead end.Since you all know that changing your name is not important, then why waste your time talking about it, what's the use of saying this, isn't this cutting people's face in public!
Mi Xiaomiao's complexion sank, she was very upset, this mud-legged person really has no rules, what's wrong with him when adults talk!

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "Boss Du, your craftsmanship is top-notch, but you are not good enough in other knowledge. Why is your name not important? For example, if you are called Boss Du, everyone knows you are a man, so if you are called Mrs. Du What do others think you are?"

Boss Du opened his mouth, Mrs. Du, how could I be called such a name!
Wang Pingan winked at him, don't talk any more, the more you talk, the more dissatisfaction you will cause.He continued: "The waterwheel we are going to build is the first of its kind in the world. If the name is powerful, then it will save more effort when it is popularized, and it will also show your superb craftsmanship. Yes. Come on, Master Mi, that's how you think of me!"

Mi Xiaomiao returned the drawings to Boss Du, stood up, and said in a high voice, "Yes, that's the way it is. Our family is all thinking of the prince!"

Originally, he didn't have much interest in waterwheels, but when Boss Du interrupted him, he became interested and said: "When our family returns to Chang'an, we must use this waterwheel with the palace. If you talk about it to the people in the court, and tell it to the ministers in the court, then the prince’s invention will definitely be famous in the capital.”

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "Oh, then I can thank Mr. Mi, you are my live advertisement, and it is all up to you to spread the word and promote the Ping An Water Truck!"

As soon as these words were flattered, Mi Xiaomiao was so light that he almost flew up. As he walked out, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know that the ladies in the palace now value you. That Inspiration Temple Pedestrian street, it’s not even built yet, ladies are starting to think about it, that’s not counting, some ladies have chosen a few big merchants and used their things, guess what?”

Wang Ping'an's eyes lit up. He had been planning for that matter for a long time, but because he couldn't stay in Chang'an, he put it on hold. He didn't think those women would really dare to do it, and they actually became spokespersons!

He said: "I can't guess this matter, it's not that the emperor doesn't like girls..."

Mi Xiaomiao snorted, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is busy with state affairs, so you don't have to bother him to know about these trivial matters!" After finishing speaking, he laughed.

Wang Pingan also laughed, and he said: "Have all the ladies benefited?"

Mi Xiaomiao shook her head, and said: "Of course it pays off if you live with your mind, but those empresses with rigid minds... Alas, it's not that our family called them, they are too stubborn, no wonder the emperor doesn't want to see them!"

Wang Ping'an said, "It's a new concept, some people can accept it, and some people can't accept it. Presumably, those who can't accept it still account for the majority.But it doesn't matter, as long as there is a role model, the rest of the people will gradually accept it.

Mi Xiaomiao said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, your Ping'an water truck, after our family returns, we will definitely... advertise that or something for you. But then again, our family, all day long, that, that or something , isn’t it busy, you understand?”

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "I understand!" Isn't it just asking for money? It's okay to ask for another sum, as long as you promote well, we will not be short of money!

Mi Xiaomiao said happily: "Our family knows that the prince is a sensible person. Our family knows a lot of people, and there are so many people in the palace, all of them are older than our family. Who do you think our family is looking for? Talk about the big water truck, can you be ashamed to talk about it empty-handed, what's the point of coming to the door empty-handed, it makes people laugh, say that our family is ignorant, even if you have to say that the prince is ignorant, our family is for For the prince's sake..."

Wang Pingan nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, if you go to the Shangguan's house or the empress's palace, if there is anyone who doesn't carry something, wouldn't that be too ignorant of etiquette? My son, the Master said: A friend comes from afar..."

The two were not idle, one kept saying, I don't really want to ask you for money, I ask you for money for your own good, and the other solemnly said, how can you ignore me for money? , I have to give it to you, if you don’t want it, I will explain it to you, talk about the Analects of Confucius!
The Meng brothers, Ouyang Li and others listened and nodded.Boss Du saw them off from behind, but he was dumbfounded when he heard it. Officials... are they all so shameless?

Wang Pingan accompanied Mi Xiaomiao back to the governor's mansion, and asked Ouyang Li to prepare another gift, which Tommy Xiaomiao would pass on to the empress in the palace for him when he returned to Beijing.Mi Xiaomiao was satisfied, and the Meng brothers also got a lot of benefits again, everyone was happy, everyone was happy.

The next day, Mi Xiaomiao set off with the Meng brothers and returned to Chang'an.Wang Pingan personally sent it ten miles away, broke off a big willow branch, and sent Miqin away.

In the next few days, Wang Pingan stepped up to urge Boss Du and the others to build a waterwheel.Just doing carpentry work is not a problem for Boss Du and the others. The progress is extremely fast. In less than ten days, most of the parts of the waterwheel have been made. It is estimated that in a few days, they can be assembled and installed. the river.

Wang Ping'an was quite satisfied, and the rewards were handed out one by one. If he is satisfied, he must satisfy others, so that the enthusiasm of Boss Du and the others can be fully stimulated.

In the afternoon of this day, a city gate soldier came to report that Chang'an had come again. This time, it was a large group of officials, and they brought several carts of boxes. I don't know what they contained. They had already entered the city. The guards rushed to report.

Wang Ping'an immediately called Di Renjie and officials from Qingzhou to greet him.Qiu Tingxuan has already gone to Maling County, but he is not in the city, only Di Renjie is left.

This time, Changsun Wuji personally gave the order, and the Ministry of Industry issued a transfer order. The Ministry of Industry sent over a dozen officials proficient in water conservancy to Qingzhou to support Wang Pingan. He is the deputy of the doctor of the Ministry of Water, the person who is most proficient in building canals in Chang'an City. It is said that he presided over the construction of the waterways of Qujiang Pond.

Wang Pingan greeted him out of the governor's mansion. Before he could go to the street, he saw a group of horses and horses coming from a distance. When the horses and horses arrived at the gate, he stepped down to meet him with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "My official Qingzhou governor Wang Ping'an, I don't know which adult is in charge?"

A man got out of the first carriage. He was in his fifties. He looked a little dull. He was bald and didn't wear a hat. His hair was messy, more white than black, and his beard was also messy. His official uniform was stained with water. Look carefully. Go, it seems that there are still rice grains, which look extremely sloppy and unkempt.

After the man got out of the car, he cupped his hands casually at Wang Ping'an and said, "Xiaguan Jiang Shuiqing, prince, we know each other."

Wang Ping'an let out an "uh." He has never had any contact with the officials of the Ministry of Industry, so how could he know each other?He said: "We met... Oh, that's right, this officer remembered that we met, Mr. Jiang is safe and sound, how have you been? Your hair has turned gray a lot!" He followed the words Son, pretend to be an acquaintance, and greet him.

Jiang Shuiqing blinked, scratched his head, and said: "My memory is wrong. It is the lower official who knows the prince, not the prince who knows the lower official. The lower official has only seen you from a distance and spoken to you."

In the carriage behind, other officials of the Ministry of Industry also came down. Hearing what Jiang Shuiqing said, they all laughed. Some officials came up to talk to Wang Pingan. In this way, it is a bit lacking in receiving people and things, but it is good at repairing canals, and it is known as No. 1 in the Ministry of Water."

Wang Ping'an thought: "Another person who only focuses on professional knowledge, but not very well-versed in the world. Well, the more people like this, the better, most of them are capable!"

He was even more enthusiastic, and invited everyone from the Ministry of Industry into the governor's mansion, arranged a banquet, and ordered Ouyang Li to prepare a house and arrange accommodation for everyone from the Ministry of Industry. .

After eating and drinking, Wang Pingan went on the golden bullet offensive again. Each official gave a small bag of golden melon seeds, which scared everyone in the Ministry of Industry until their jaws almost dropped!
