On the morning court the next day, Zhu Yunwen clearly felt the silence of the civil officials. He expressed in the hall that he would support the construction of the Yellow River flood control embankment, and then the morning court ended.

Today, Zhu Yunwen wanted to finish work early. After so much busy, he wanted to accompany Zhu Xiuer and the others.

After entering the imperial study, what Zhu Yunwen expected was that Chang Qingyu actually sat inside.

She held a book with no expression on her face.

Zhu Yunwen was too lazy to pay attention to her. He sat in his own position to read the book, and both of them chose to remain silent.

Not long after, Hua Xirui walked in dressed in eunuch. She glanced at Chang Qingyu, and then said to Zhu Yunwen, "Emperor, something happened to the Ministry of Works."

Zhu Yunwen frowned and said, "What's the matter?" The Ministry of Works has a great role now, and Zhu Yunwen has to pay attention to it.

"The folk craftsmen you are looking for are clamoring to go back to Baimafang." Hua Xirui said helplessly.

Zhu Yunwen asked, "Why? I have given them such good treatment."

"I don't know." Hua Xirui handed Zhu Yunwen a letter, "This is what the boss of Baijifang asked me to secretly hand it over to you."

Zhu Yunwen took the envelope and opened it. After he finished reading it, Zhu Yunwen said with an angry face, "Let's go with me to the Ministry of Works, don't make a statement."

"yes."

The Ministry of Works is the place where the members of the Ministry of Works are working, while the craftsmen Zhu Yunwen found were in a small courtyard in the Ministry of Works. This was specially arranged by Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen wore casual clothes and took Hua Xirui straight to the office of the Ministry of Works.

Chang Qingyu looked at Zhu Yunwen blankly, not understanding why this man was so panicked.

Chang Qingyu couldn't contain his curiosity, so he put down the book in his hand and headed towards the direction where Zhu Yunwen left.

Gu Xiao, who has become Zhu Yunwen's personal bodyguard, also followed Zhu Yunwen silently. As for He Lin, he had already returned to marry with Mu Ying's permission.

When he arrived at the office of the Ministry of Works, the guard at the door reached out to stop Zhu Yunwen, "The idle people are not allowed to enter."

Hua Xirui glared at the guard, "Your dog eyes are wide open, and the emperor can't see it even when he comes."

The guards were shocked. They saw Zhu Yunwen who was as deep as water and Gu Xiao behind them, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The little one is blind and he doesn't know that the emperor has arrived."

"Get up." Zhu Yunwen said, "Where is the small courtyard I have arranged for folk craftsmen?"

The guard's expression stopped, and he trembled, "Here, inside."

"Inside?" Zhu Yunwen snorted coldly, "Take me to have a look, don't inform the officials of the Ministry of Works."

"...yes." The guard had no choice but to take Zhu Yunwen and others to walk inside.

After Zhu Yunwen and others entered, Chang Qingyu quietly came to the yamen.

One of the guards who had just stood up asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Chang Qingyu took out a token and said, "Take me to the place where the emperor just went."

The guard took the token and was scared out of cold sweat. I don’t know what happened today, but why did these big men run to the Works Department.

The Ministry of Works’ office occupied a huge area, and outside a very deserted villa, the guard whispered, “Your Majesty, it’s here.”

Zhu Yunwen stood with his hands behind his back, and he looked around and said, "This Ministry of Works has been well repaired."

The guard laughed dryly and said, "The six ministries are like this. The ministry of Works is considered a bad one."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, "It's really not good if you do something bad. I understand it, but why does this place look so ragged?"

Indeed, unlike other places, the courtyard here of folk craftsmen is boundless and even the walls of the yard are dilapidated, which contrasts with the vermilion wall next to it.

The guard whispered, "That's because the Ministry of Works has no more yards. The above means that these craftsmen work here for the time being."

"Oh." Zhu Yunwen sneered and walked in, but as soon as he reached the entrance of the yard, he heard the quarrel coming from inside.

"What do you mean?" The boss of Baijifang said angrily, "Aren't I craftsmen human? Why should we deduct our salary?" In Zhu Yunwen's design, these craftsmen were consuming the salary of fifth-rank officials of the court.

The man questioned by the boss of Baijifang said lazily, "Did you not work well? Shouldn't you reduce your salary?"

"You! The improvements of these crossbows are all due to our contributions. Even the research on muskets has been made. Isn't this a good job?" The boss of Baijifang said angrily, "I want to meet Mr. Yu!"

The man yawned, "Shangshu Yu, are you going to meet him at any time? He is busy with government affairs and has no time to see you."

A craftsman couldn't listen anymore, so he fell off the tool in his hand and said, "Boss, let's go, quit!"

"Yes, I'll stop doing it!"

"Why do we have to suffer this?"

The boss of Baijifang stopped the craftsman and said in a deep voice, "Do you know that you are like this?"

The man was stunned and laughed, "The emperor is responsible for everything he wants, but he has no time to care about your affairs."

The boss of Baijifang said disappointedly, "Then we will stop doing it, we will go back to Baijifang."

The man smiled and said to the boss, "I said you are thinking too much. This is an errand arranged by the emperor. How dare you not do it?"

"Is this your attitude?" Zhu Yunwen looked at the guard coldly, "You go to find Yu Di, just say that someone is causing trouble here, let him come and see, Gu Xiao, follow him, don't let this person play tricks."

"Yes." Gu Xiao nodded and then jumped onto the eaves to prevent himself from being discovered.

The guard was forced to do so. This was the emperor's order, and the fierce Jinyiwei was following him. He didn't dare to play tricks, so he had to go to Yu Di to report.

Zhu Yunwen and Hua Xirui hid in a corner outside the courtyard. Not long after, Yu Di led the way to this small courtyard.

Yu Di walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He looked at the man in surprise, "Dazhi, what's wrong?"

Dazhi looked at Yu Di and said in surprise, "Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

It turned out that Dazhi's sister was Yu Di's wife. It was precisely because of this relationship that Yu Di took a job for Dazhi in the Ministry of Works.

Yu Di said unhappily, "Didn't you come to me because you said someone is causing trouble here?"

Dazhi said confusedly, "No."

"That, Lord Yu." The guard's body trembled. "I, I think he seems to be in trouble, so I'm just trying to make a decision and call you, Lord."

Yu Di glared at the guard, and then said to Dazhi, "Since you are here, just talk about it, what's wrong?"

When the boss of Baijifang saw Yu Di, he seemed to see the savior, "Master Yu, why are we so much less salary this month?"
