The memorial in Ji Gang's hands was just issued in the palace, but it was asked the Jinyiwei to investigate the Longjiang Shipyard.

This Longjiang Shipyard is located near Longjiang Pass, connected to the Yangtze River in the west and the Qinhuai River in the east. At the beginning of the Hongwu year, Emperor Taizu opened a factory to build ships in the open space in the northwest corner of Nanjing.

The reason why I chose to build sea ships here is that at this time, the wooden sea ships were built, and the middle was mostly fixed with iron nails without pulling, so I could only choose to build them near the river. During construction, the gate between the dock and the Yangtze River must be blocked. After building the sea ships in the dry dock, wait for the tide to come and open the gate, introduce the river water, and then float the ship out. Follow the Yangtze River and drift into the sea.

Originally, the Longjiang Shipyard had been abandoned. After Taizu forbidden the sea, it was almost half-stopped, and only built some boats for the navy. But now, it is extremely important. Therefore, the scale has gradually become larger. In addition to the Tijuan Department, the Helping Command Hall and a tent factory specializing in the creation of sea boat wind tents, it also has seven workshops, including fine wood workshops, paint workshops, twist workshops, iron workshops, tent workshops, rope workshops, cable workshops, and material viewing shops. In addition to the fifth-ranked Work Department doctor, there are also Yuanwailang, chief officer, coach, assistant commander, etc. The wing chiefs are only equipped with nearly 100 low-level team leaders.

Recently, because the court attaches great importance to this, the eunuchs inspected, as well as the Ministry of Revenue and some senior officials from the Ministry of Works, also often appear. Just as Ji Gang thought this was the case, he was unable to make up his mind.

Now everyone in the capital knows that the shipyard is now the most popular place. The government and the people are looking at it, and even the emperor has repeatedly asked. But now he has issued an order to investigate. This investigation is certain. The key to the problem is. Does Your Majesty want to see blood or not?

If it were just a light hit, why did the Jinyiwei come out? This is obviously a killer to use a ox knife. But if you really want to make a fuss, wouldn’t it delay the construction period of the shipyard? People are panic, how can this ship be built?

Your Majesty is asking about the construction schedule day and night. It is expected that he is dissatisfied with the shipyard's delay, so he wants to beat it, but His Majesty is not willing to hold the stick high and gently fall down. After all, it has caused the emperor to suffer, but there is no good fruit to eat; but it cannot delay the construction schedule and cannot stop the shipyard's production. The degree here needs to be carefully weighed, it is lighter, the palace is dissatisfied, and it is heavy. It delays the emperor's affairs. This is doing things by oneself. But where is the degree?

Even though Ji Gang, who has been thinking about the Sacred Heart for so many years, feels a little embarrassed.

But... there is no way.

At this time, a clerk outside said, "The commander-in-chief, Lord Hao, is here."

Ji Gang was excited and said, "Please come in."

Hao Fenglou came in, first saluted and said, "I have met the lord."

At any time, Hao Fenglou is not humble and silent in front of Ji Gang. He keeps a certain distance from Ji Gang, and also maintains enough respect.

Ji Gang smiled like a spring breeze, and was already used to dealing with Hao Fenglou. He said with a stern voice: "Hao Qianshi, sit down and talk quickly."

Hao Fenglou had to sit down as he said. He was guessing Ji Gang's thoughts in his heart. He smiled and said, "Sir, I'm going to come here, I don't know what to do."

Ji Gang then took the order to the clerk around him, and the clerk handed it to Hao Fenglou. After Hao Fenglou saw it, he realized that the emperor wanted to hit the shipyard, just like driving a donkey to pull a mill, and he whipped a few whips from time to time.

The Jinyiwei was a whip, and soon Hao Fenglou realized that although the Jinyiwei was a whip, it was obviously a problem to do it. You can't beat the donkey to death, nor do you hit it too lightly. However, it requires extremely high skills.

Seeing Hao Fenglou's face changing, Ji Gang knew in his heart that Hao Fenglou should have seen the article behind the imperial edict. He was too lazy to explain, so he simply said, "Hao Qianshi, what do you think?"

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "The imperial edict says that if the Jinyiwei and the Censorate are inquiring together, the trouble is here. If it is just the Jinyiwei, it would be fine to find something, and we will take it to the office for the job. But the problem now is, if the Jinyiwei finds something, what will the Censorate find? In this way, will our Jinyiwei become a disadvantageous task in the eyes of His Majesty, or will it be perfunctory?"

Ji Ganghe nodded and sighed: "No, not bad, you can continue talking."

Hao Fenglou continued: "The second is the issue of severity. It is also inappropriate to handle it poorly. If it is light, it will lose the reputation of our Beizhen Prefecture Department. If it is heavy, it will inevitably delay the construction period. If it is hard, it may be a bad thing.

Ji Gang couldn't help but sigh: "You are taught by me. Although you are young, you are promoted to commander-in-chief. The brothers in the Wei Dynasty are a little dissatisfied. But I never listen to these comments, because you are young, but you are clear about things. This imperial edict can tell you the pros and cons at a glance. Alas... I have worked hard since the establishment of the Jinyiwei, but my holy heart is unpredictable, so I have all my merits and demerits. Today's imperial edict is indeed embarrassing. If you are not sure, it will be a bad thing."

He sighed for a while, and then said, "Hao Qianshi, you have specialized in your skills. Since you can grasp this matter and see through it, I will not add burdens to you. You can handle this matter. Don't worry, what kind of personnel you need to call? I will cooperate with you to do it well. If you do it well, the officials of the Beizhen Prefecture will be honored. Even if it is a bad thing, I will take responsibility for you."

Damn...

Hao Fenglou almost blurted out a national curse. Originally, he thought Ji Gang was here to test him so as to use this to figure out the intentions of the palace. He far underestimated Ji Gang because this old guy was obviously more direct than this, and directly added this unpleasant thing to himself. It should be noted that such things are the most thankless. If you don’t do it well, you will most likely capsize in the gutter.

If you say that you are punishing people, it is certainly the responsibility of the Jinyiwei, but the problem is that you clearly don’t want to kill people in the imperial edict. If you are punishing people half dead, will they greet you with a smile?

But Ji Gang was the commander after all. Although he was slandering, he was helpless. Hao Fenglou had no choice but to say, "See the order."

After leaving Ji Gang, Hao Fenglou was too lazy to go to the rank of the assistant house, but instead ordered people to pass on the mission to the Thousand Houses of Dongcheng to ask them to draw some personnel.

Since I had to check, I had to check it out. Hao Fenglou entered the palace today and saw that Zhu Di was very concerned about the shipyard, so this investigation should not be underestimated.

The next morning, Hao Fenglou arrived at the Longjiang Shipyard. He was carrying more than thirty literate clerks and lieutenants. Wang Sili also came with him. Because checking the Longjiang Shipyard, there was no need for many warriors, but people who could understand the accounts were required.

When he heard that the Jinyiwei arrived at the shipyard, Zhu Qian, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, who was supervising the construction, led the officials of the Ministry of Works, the head of the officials, the chief officer, the magistrate and other officials to greet him.

Although this doctor is only a fifth-rank official, he only holds real power in the ministry and the minister. Just like Zhu Qian, the doctor in front of him, is responsible for the matters of the shipyard. Not only does he manage the Longjiang Shipyard, but the shipyards all over the world are all under his control. There are ship workers, ship craftsmen, and countless officials of all sizes, with more than 100,000 people. Not only do he control the livelihoods of so many people, but he also controls the nearly one million silver plaques allocated by the court. Such a lack of vacancies is infinity.

Zhu Qian's attitude towards Hao Fenglou was not humble and said nothing. Obviously, he had received news long ago that if an official like him had no big boss to support him, he would never be able to delegate this fat neglect, so he was not only well-informed, but also had enough confidence and was very straightforward.

Zhu Qian was a little polite to Hao Fenglou, bowed and said, "The lord came from afar, but the lord cannot welcome him. I am really ashamed. Please come in and speak."

These are all clichés in the officialdom. On the surface, they are polite, but they may not be respectful. Hao Fenglou noticed that Zhu Qian had a contempt for himself from the very beginning.

In fact, it is no wonder that even the Jinyiwei knows that this is just a pounding in the palace, so you have to grasp the right position. Wouldn't people know? Since you know that you are here to play fake, why are you afraid of what you do?

Besides, with Zhu Qian's position, he was unwilling to be too intimate with Hao Fenglou, because in the eyes of the court and scholars, Hao Fenglou is really not a good thing. If he gets too close, he is seeking death.

Hao Fenglou thought to himself, so he acted like a formal and official look and said, "We are here to check the shipyard with orders. There is no need to make false courtesy conspiracies. Or do you need to do official duties first. Why don't you take us to check the accounts immediately?"

Zhu Qian looked calm and smiled and said, "It's great, please."

So Zhu Qian led the way and everyone went in.

The size of this shipyard is equivalent to a small town, and there are mixed craftsmen's sheds nearby, which are for craftsmen to live in. Inside, there are workshops with fine woods, paint, twists, iron, tents, and ropes. Countless people who have stripped their upper bodies and exposed their dark muscles are either carrying them on their shoulders or carrying various tools in their hands.

The helpers and commanders were wearing soap lily clothes, and they were all patrolling back and forth with big belly.

A road had been cleared here. When Hao Fenglou entered with the officials of the shipyard, everyone consciously retreated, and even several carriages were parked beside him. The coachmen lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the Shangguans.

Occasionally, a few women's voices came out from afar, and Hao Fenglou couldn't help but frown: "Mr. Zhu, why are there women in the factory?"

Zhu Qian said seriously: "Some are the families of some craftsmen..."

Hao Fenglou asked, "What else?"
