Pei Caihua made a gesture to invite Zhang Ronghua to drink some tea to moisten his throat.
He held a teacup.
There was no need to bet. The tea was already cold.
She took a sip and put the teacup down.
“You called me over for more than this, right?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
Pei Caicai smiled and stroked his beard.” Your aunt and the others are back. Haoran has been wanting to see you. Are you free tonight?”
Haoran’s full name was Pei Haoran, his son.
Zhang Ronghua smiled bitterly and shook his head.” I’m not free tonight. I’ve already arranged with Pingbo and the others to meet up with Heavenly Earth.”
It’s good for friends to get together more often. How about this? Come over tonight and ask Haoran to wait for you at the door. Bring him along to see the world.”
“This, this…
Pei Caihua waved his hand and said seriously, “What’s wrong with hooking?”
I’m not an old fool, I’m just drinking and listening to music.”
Zhang Ronghua smiled and agreed. I’ll pick him up tonight.”
After chatting for a while more, he got up and left.
When the door closed.
Pei Caihua drank the remaining tea in the teacup.” You have to look at the person when drinking and listening to music. I’m not at ease if you go with someone else.”
Back at the Ministry of Works.
When he entered the courtyard, Huang Zhongshi was standing guard outside the palace door. When he saw that he had returned, he hurriedly came forward and bowed.” Greetings, Lord!”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
They entered the main hall.
Huang Zhongshi didn’t follow them in. He was very observant. He closed the door and continued to guard the door.
“Brother, why is Uncle Pei looking for you?” Ding Yi pushed the black grapes in front of him over and asked.
Zhang Ronghua took a black grape and threw it into his mouth. After eating the meat and spitting out the skin, he said,” Pei Haoran is back.”
“What do you mean?”
“He asked me to go to the Pei residence for a gathering tonight.”
“What about Heavenly Earth?”
“I did! Uncle Pei changed his mind and went to the Pei residence to bring Haoran along.”
“It’s not that simple, is it?” Ding Yi frowned and voiced his guess.
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
‘ Haoran’s coronation ceremony is less than a month away. Uncle Pei’s intention is for me to take care of him first and learn from him. I’ll settle his white body and build a good foundation before transferring to another department. ”
He had thought of it when he left the Ministry of Rites.
It was just a simple visit, so Pei Caihua didn’t have to specifically let him go over.
“Will it be bad?” asked Ding Yi.
“No!” Zhang Ronghua said.
With his current status, it was easy to take care of a person, even if he was a white body. He would first arrange for him to enter the Spirit Research Department and give him a civil officer position. Without a rank, no one would be able to find fault with him. After a period of time, it would be easy to raise Pei Haoran from the ninth level.
As for why Pei Caihua didn’t do it himself, it was already a critical moment for him to enter the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Even the Ministry of Rites didn’t have the energy to take care of him. At this critical juncture, nepotism, even if it was a small matter, would be magnified infinitely. It would be very troublesome if another censor jumped out.
The last point.
Pei Cai trusted him and handed Pei Haoran over to him! Ding Yi’s thoughts jumped, What if Pei Haoran is led astray?
“Beat him up!” Zhang Ronghua said sternly.
Ding Yi was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood. Pei Haoran called them brothers. If they dared to not learn well, as long as they were not beaten to death, Pei Caicai would not ask. He rubbed his fists and smiled unkindly.” That’s not good, right?” He looked outside.
“Come in,” said Zhang Ronghua.
The door was pushed open.
Huang Zhongshi walked in and closed the door. He walked forward and bowed. He asked in a fawning manner,” What instructions do you have, my lord?”
“What was the arrangement yesterday?”
Huang Zhongshi briefly explained the ma tter.
There were also confidants in the five departments. They found him and gave him some instructions, and that scene happened.
“Not bad!” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
“Brother, we’ve finished reading the books in the Book Palace. What should we do now?” asked Ding Yi.
“Consolidating the Spirit Research Department.”
“Call the chief registrar of the eight classes over,” Zhang Ronghua ordered as he looked at Huang Zhongshi.
“Yes, sir!”
Huang Zhongshi responded and turned to leave.
Ding Yi was curious, but he didn’t ask further. He was looking forward to what would happen next.
After a while.
The eight main registrar were called over and stood in a row in the courtyard.
They were puzzled. Zhang Ronghua had been in the Spirit Research Department for some time. Today, he called them over. A new official had three fires. Was he going to burn them? Didn’t he burn it when he was refining the Flamespark Pearl? Cui Jiancheng couldn’t even lift his head up. He was even beaten up by them. Except for the R & D Hall, the Materials Hall, and the Modification Hall, the quota for the remaining five professions had all been used up. Even if he got one million taels from Stylon later, after splitting it, each profession only had 200,000 taels. This amount of money was not enough to spend. It had already been used up.
He thought of the second fire. The first fire burned so badly that Cui Jiancheng was crippled. Who would be the unlucky one in the second fire?
It was fine if there were no factions, so they were not worried. They knew
Zhang Ronghua’s character. As long as he did things seriously, he would not attack them! The people from the opposing factions, such as the R & D Hall and the Modification Hall, were the chief bookkeepers of the two classes. One of them was from Stylon, and the other was from Yan Lihua.
The former was panicking. Their faction had almost made their stand clear against Zhang Ronghua. If they crippled Cui Jiancheng, would they be the next one? He tried his best to hold back his thoughts and not let them show. The latter was still fine. He learned from Yan Lihua that the Second Prince did not give the order to suppress Zhang Ronghua, so there was no conflict for the time being. He was also serious in his work and did not dare to slack off at all.
With Zhang Ronghua’s political wisdom, he would not make enemies at will. He was even more stable than an old dog.
Only Zhao Yi, the chief clerk of the Materials Hall, was feeling uneasy. He was like a bucket carrying water. Wu Yangjian was dead and had become a rootless duckweed. He woke up earlier than a chicken and arrived before the others. He left later than a dog and left only after everyone left. He wanted to use this method to protect his position.
Looking at the tightly shut door, his heart was in a mess. He wondered why Zhang Ronghua had called them over.
In the palace.
Zhang Ronghua was almost done with the plate of black grapes. He took out a piece of paper and wiped the water off his mouth. He stood up from the chair and called out,” Let’s go!”
He opened the door and walked out. Ding Yi followed closely behind.
The eight official registrar’s hearts trembled. No matter what they thought, as the palace door opened and Zhang Ronghua came out, they all restrained themselves and did not dare to show any emotion on their faces.
He stopped three steps away.
Zhang Ronghua’s face was tense, and his eyes were sharp, emitting a huge official’s might. He swept his gaze over one by one. When they met his gaze, they did not dare to look directly at him. They subconsciously lowered their heads or looked away.
After a round, he said, “I called you here this time because I’m not satisfied with your work!”
The eight of them pretended to be deaf and dumb. No one dared to jump out and oppose them, afraid that they would be set an example and killed like chickens.
I’ll give you fifteen minutes to come up with an optimization plan based on the materials and feys that you have. No matter what it is, even if it’s just a normal armor or a standard saber, you have to increase their power by one-third! I’m not talking about people. I’ll say it first. The Spirit Research Department doesn’t raise trash. No matter who’s behind you, if you don’t have real ability and can’t do things to my satisfaction, quickly transfer them away before you make a move! Otherwise, don’t blame me for freezing you!”
No matter what they were thinking, the eight of them did not dare to show it on their faces.
Zhang Ronghua waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
“Sir, Supervisor Cui has asked for leave.” Huang Zhongshi said after they had disappeared.
He had guessed it.
The last time, five people from the class gate had beaten him up. He had lost all his face. How could he still have the face to stay in the Spirit Research Department? Otherwise, each of them could spit on him to death..
