Hao Fenglou understood.

It's all men who understand.

It’s just that these craftsmen work hard, so there are inevitably some demands in this shipyard, and they turn a blind eye to this demand.

In Hao Fenglou's opinion, it was purely right. Therefore, he stopped talking and continued to move forward.

However, the doctor of the Ministry of Works Zhu Qian recovered from the embarrassment, looked at Hao Fenglou deeply, and pursed his lips without saying a word.

Continuing to move forward is the core of the shipyard. There are several shipyard yamen. Although the yamen is small, it is complete with all the internal organs. At this moment, a group of clerks and servants have come outside, waiting for you all.

Zhu Qian made a call and said, "Sir, please ask first, and sit high first. As soon as you answer the accounts, the lower official will order someone to get it."

Hao Fenglou held his hands behind his back and entered the first place. He sat high in the main hall of the Yanei, while Zhou Sijie was accompanying him. The other clerks, lieutenants, and Lishiren were naturally placed on both sides.

Not long after, boxes of accounts came.

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but frown, with so many accounts.

But this expression was just fleeting, but he said, "Where is Zhou Si Li?"

Zhou Fang hurriedly said: "The student is here."

Hao Fenglou said: "Take people to start checking. Every expense and the money and grain allocated by the court must be carefully calculated. If you can't calculate it clearly, I only ask."

Zhou Fang said seriously: "Student obeys the order." He paused for a moment, but said again: "It's just that there are so many accounts, I'm afraid it will last for a long time, this..."

Hao Fenglou smiled with his lips, but looked at Zhu Qian.

Zhu Qian said generously: "This is not difficult, the shipyard naturally arranges its residence. So please don't hesitate to be simple here and stay at peace."

Hao Feng Louhe nodded and said, "That's great."

So the matter was settled, and Hao Fenglou asked about some things. He ignored the others and took tea here. Others moved the book case, took the abacus, account books, and pens began to keep accounts.

These clerks brought by them are all top arithmetic experts, the clerks of the Thousand Houses of Dongcheng, who earn a lot of money every month and pay a deposit. Over time, this clerks became their business.

The doctor Zhu Qian simply went to work, but left a shipyard recommendation for him to be asked at any time.

The clerks were very serious. Therefore, they found that they broke the casserole and asked to the end, but Na Tee seemed a little worried.

"Sir, look at this place. It's also ironwood. Why is the account here with seventy materials and nine hundred and thirty patterns of silver? But here it has eight hundred and fifty taels of silver?"

"This...the prices of wood are different in different places. The ones with seventy ingredients are the ones with raw materials after that."

“What is the difference between raw materials and clinker?”

"Raw materials are cut down trees. The clinker has been processed, exposed to the sun, dehydrated, and raw materials need to be used. It takes three years to process and expose the sun. The clinker can be directly applied only if the craftsman takes some effort."

"oh……"

On the other side, a clerk greeted him: "Why are the same rivets? The price difference is so huge? Let's see..."

"There are many types of rivets. Some even have to be three feet long, while others are only the size of a little finger. The materials are not used, and the sizes are different."

"Then please take me to take a look."

He had no choice but to say, "These are all in the material shop, I'm afraid that there will be filthy..."

"It's okay..."

After a day of hard work, Na Tiju was really unbearable, so he had to go to the doctor Zhu Qian to complain: "Sir... These Jinyiwei checked the account and found that everything was fine, and even asked the clamps. The officials were speechless several times, and they really couldn't..."

The doctor Zhu Qian's face looked very bad. The sky was already dark, but he was still in the shipyard, and his face was always gloomy. Now, hearing this complaint, his eyes kept flashing, and he seemed a little shocked.

He narrowed his eyes and touched the case, "The people who come are not kind will not come, but... you still have to take care of these people. You don't have to complain. I know that you have worked hard, but you are the most familiar with the accounts of this shipyard, so I have to thank you for your hard work."

Tiju had to smile bitterly and said, "If you investigate this way, you will find something wrong even if you have nothing to do."

Zhu Qian smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to complain, you're just a big deal."

After sending him off, Zhu Qian seemed a little uneasy.

His face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth in this public room.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Qian called someone and said, "Prepare a car sedan... No, there is no need to be an official sedan. I will find a way to find an ordinary sedan. I will go out later and ask Lao Liu and the others to carry the sedan chair. Those sedan chairmen, I am not at ease. Don't tell anyone about this, and I don't have to turn off the lights in my public housing, just on."

After a stick of incense, Zhu Qian set out.

His target is a mansion. It is very secluded and inconspicuous, just an ordinary courtyard.

After getting off the sedan chair, Zhu Qian first asked someone to inform him, and then an old servant came over to lead Zhu Qian in.

In the inner hall, an old man wearing a coat and coughing desperately. The old man had a bit of morbid skin and gray hair on his head. When he saw Zhu Qian, he couldn't help but say, "Sir Zhu is here, what's wrong?"

Zhu Qian said politely: "Hello Eunuch Liu."

The old man said with a stern voice: "Don't call me father-in-law, we... cough cough... our family is old and the emperor is polite to our family. He has ordered our family to leave the palace for retirement. Since there is no emperor's mission, the word "father-in-law" will be spared."

Zhu Qian's face was solemn: "It's for the shipyard to come. Today, the people from the Jinyiwei are here?"

The old man suddenly seemed to be dozing, his dry chin was twisted up, and he said coldly: "The Jinyiwei is here, what do you have to do with our family?"

Zhu Qian said lightly: "But he is involved with Eunuch Xiao."

The old man raised his eyes, and a cold edge flashed deep in his eyes: "What do you want to say?"

Zhu Qian quickly said respectfully: "This matter involves Eunuch Xiao, but now, the lower official and Eunuch Xiao are separated by a palace wall. It is not easy to contact us. Eunuch Xiao once regarded her as a fake father, and Eunuch Xiao's affairs were naturally involved with her. So the lower official came here to teach Eunuch Xiao to make plans early and prevent them from happening."

The old man sighed and said, "I thought I could ignore these chores when I left the palace. Who knew that I would come to the door? After saying that, what if the Jinyiwei came to the door? We know the imperial edict. Don't worry, Your Majesty's intention is just to knock, but it's just to make you quicker and slow down. If that's the case, what's the matter with the Jinyiwei? They... are just acting like this. Ordinary people are afraid of the Jinyiwei. Are you, a dignified doctor, also afraid of these people?"

Zhu Qian's face was still solemn, and he said, "My father-in-law was wrong. At the beginning, the lower officials also thought so. He thought these Jinyiwei were just here to go through the motions, so the lower officials also made some arrangements?"

The old man smiled and said, "Arrangement, what arrangements are?"

Zhu Qian said: "Since they are here to make trouble and go through the motions, they naturally have to ask them to pick out some mistakes so that the palace can explain, so the officials deliberately asked someone to make the prostitutes who dare not appear at will on weekdays and enter and exit at will. The crime of lax supervision is not too serious, and it is not a crime to be a crime. However, with this in mind, it is enough to handle the Jinyiwei. In this way, they will not continue to be entangled. After the palace has the name of the name, they must also issue an order to criticize the shipyard. The officials are naturally submissive and voluntarily, saying that a few words will be done well from now on, and they will not dare to let His Majesty down, and this matter will be over."

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "You scholars, you have to play with a flower in everything, but your prescription is right. Since Your Majesty is trying to find a mistake and urge you to get off the shipyard, instead of letting them investigate, it's better to find some mistakes and send them to them. If they save trouble, don't you save trouble?"

"That's what it means." Zhu Qian smiled bitterly and continued, "It's just a pity that Lord Hao, who investigated this matter, was unmoved."

The old man narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but say, "He was unmoved, which means that he had a lot of plans and wasn't he for this?"

"Yes." Zhu Qian said: "He then took his people to check the accounts."

“Is there any problem with the accounts?”

"No," Zhu Qian said: "But I'm afraid they'll keep checking here, sooner or later... they have to find something that shouldn't be checked out, so the officials are worried and think that they have to speak up to Eunuch Xiao to save time and get in a hurry."

The old man sighed and said, "We know that if this Hao Fenglou was in Taizu, such a person would have chopped his head long ago. Even Emperor Jianwen would probably not have given him a good face. It is an anomaly for him to have today. Who said that today is the Yongle Dynasty?"

"Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths; originally everyone did not violate the river water, and each got their own benefits, but... this person has always been resolute and left no room for work. If it were someone else, our family was still strange. The palace only lets be beaten and did not cause trouble. Didn't even understand this holy intention? But now the person who investigated this case is Hao Fenglou, and what you said is actually no doubt. This person is stubborn in everything. So..." The old man seemed to be hesitating and continued: "You should deal with him first. Xiao Yue's side, our family will greet you. If there is news, you will not be too uneasy. Our family has lived at such an old age and has never seen the obstacles that cannot be overcome."

After hearing this, Zhu Qian felt relieved, so he bowed and said, "If you have a hard time, please say goodbye."
