Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 322 Selling out the chief officer of the unit!
When Su Yun heard that Lai Zhishao was coming to visit, he sneered: Haha, here comes the troublemaker.

The Chief Engineer was the easy target that Su Yun had chosen. He would first take back the Chief Engineer's engineering team. This way, the Ministry of Industry would have taken back the construction business.

The rank of the General Works Supervisor is not high, so it is easier to bully. The highest officer in the General Works Supervisor is only a fourth-rank official. Even if they come to cause trouble, they have no advantage in official rank. The key point is that the General Works Supervisor is not a powerful department. Even if they are bullied, they can only suffer in silence.

Su Yun rubbed his hands in readiness: I will have a good fight with this Chief of Production today, so as to prepare for the competition with the Ministry of Revenue later!
But what Su Yun didn't expect was that Shao, who was going to be the judge, came up to him and shook his hand warmly as soon as he saw him, saying, "My dear nephew, oh, look at my broken mouth..."

Lai Zhishao patted his lips lightly, "…I should call you Minister Su, haha, I missed you before. I've been in a lot of trouble lately. I couldn't find time to visit you when you came back from the northwest. Now the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, so I took this opportunity to visit you. Hey, it's my fault as an uncle! Blame me, blame me!"

Su Yun was a little confused by Lai Zhishao's speech. Ah, no, you are so sociable and trying to get close to me. Even if you try to get close to me, my engineering team cannot return the favor!
Lai Zhishao saw that Su Yun was a little confused, and asked quickly: "Why didn't Prime Minister Zhang tell you about his relationship with me? I have been with Prime Minister Zhang all the way. When the new law was passed, I was Prime Minister Zhang's most staunch supporter. Look, I used to be the Censor, but now I have been sent to the Supervisory Office, right?"

Being reminded by Lai Zhishao, Su Yun suddenly remembered that there were no good people with the surname Lai. Lai Zhishao should be a traitor. If he was a traitor, he must be in cahoots with his father-in-law.

Hey, this is just a joke. It is hard to say whether the new law minister is a traitor or not. After all, in this struggle between the new and old parties, it is hard to say who is a traitor and who is a loyal minister. It is just a difference in political views.

Su Yun also remembered it at this moment. He had heard a while ago that the Chief Censor Huang Lu impeached a man for buying the daughter of a prostitute as a concubine. Huang Lu impeached the man for his improper behavior and demoted him to the position of Chief of the Ministry of Works. It turned out that the man was Lai Zhi Shao.

Su Yun frowned and said, "The former Chief Censor Huang Lu was also a supporter of the new law. How could he impeach you?"

Lai Zhi Shao chuckled and said, "If it weren't for this, I'm afraid I would have to go to the local area too. Buying a prostitute's daughter as a concubine is just an excuse. It's a bit of a stain on my character, but this is just a small matter. The only thing I can deal with is a demotion. If I still stay in the position of Supervisory Censor, it will be a disaster. Alas."

That makes sense.

However, Su Yun did not relax his vigilance and asked, "Are you here to supervise the trial today?"

Lai Zhishao said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Minister Su, I am not here to ask you for the engineering team today. You can keep the engineering team. In the future, all these construction works will belong to the Ministry of Industry. If you want to revitalize the Ministry of Industry and move forward, I will definitely support you.

The main purpose of coming here today is to meet you. We should have more contact in the future. Secondly, I have a selfish motive. After all, I am the prisoner, and I have to show my attitude to the people below. It's not that I don't help, but I just can't beat you. "

Only then did Su Yun believe that Lai Zhishao had come here today with no ill intentions. However, he would not trust him easily. He would ask his father-in-law about Lai Zhishao in the future. He would know whether it was true or not once he asked.

So Su Yun accompanied Lai Zhishao to chat.

Lai Zhishao said with a smile: "I asked before coming here, and I learned that Minister Su is building the Qingming Riverside Park recently. I have to say that Minister Su is really good at this."

Su Yun raised his eyebrows, wanting to see what Lai Zhishao's ability was, so he smiled and said, "Oh, did you come to the procuratorate to see something?"

Lai Zhi Shao smiled and said, "I can only make a guess. If I guess wrong, Minister Su, please don't be angry."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Of course not."

Lai Zhishao said: "Minister Su built the Qingming Riverside Park to gather wealth, people and power..."

Lai Zhishao quietly observed Su Yun's expression. Seeing that Su Yun's expression did not change, he was slightly shocked. Then he continued: "...Qingming Shanghe Park is being planned and built. I think Minister Su has already found many wealthy merchants to invest and has also obtained a lot of money. In this way, the Ministry of Industry's treasury will be full.

This will allow the engineering team under the supervision of the Ministry of Works to return to the Ministry of Works, and the craftsmen and workers will enrich the foundation of the Ministry of Works, which is to gather people.

With money and people, the Ministry of Works will be able to fulfill its powers and responsibilities.

But this step alone may not be enough, so we need to gather more strength!"

Su Yun showed an admiring expression at this time, and Lai Zhishao was immediately encouraged and said: "The following words are just my random words, Minister Su, just let them go in one ear and out the other.

Next, Minister Su can distribute the shares of Qingming Shanghe Garden to the families behind some important officials. In this way, the momentum of the Ministry of Works will be boosted. With important officials supporting the Ministry of Works, it will not be long before the Ministry of Works returns to the list of the six ministries.

By then, Shangshu Su will have brought the Ministry back to its former status. This kind of merit will be enough for you to become a prime minister. By then, our New Law faction will have a leader in the court!"

Su Yun looked at Lai Zhishao thoughtfully and said, "For example, the families behind those important officials?" Lai Zhishao said, "Gao, the two Lus, and Fan will do."

Su Yun said, "Why, Sima and Wen don't need it?"

Lai Zhishao snorted coldly and said, "Sima is conservative and wants to abolish the new law. He hates the new law faction to the core. How could he allow people from our new law faction to take office? Besides, he won't live long, so don't worry about him.

As for the old thief Wen, haha, he said he would suppress you for ten years, how could he let you show up? Why should we give the benefits to this old thief for free? Humph, this old thief, when our new law returns, we will definitely make the Wen family pay!"

Su Yun sighed in his heart, thinking that Lai Zhi Shao was indeed a talented person. He had such a clear understanding of the court and the key was that he could even see through his own strategy. However, his revengeful mentality was a little too strong, and he looked a bit like a vicious scholar.

Su Yun nodded and said, "The Gao family and Prime Minister Lu are fine, but is it necessary for the Fan family and the Lantian Lu family?"

Lai Zhishao nodded affirmatively and said, "Prime Minister Lu is old, he won't be the prime minister for many more years. The next person to take power will be either Fan Chunren or Lu Dafang. If we make friends with these two, the Ministry of Works can definitely be included in the Six Ministries again!"

Hearing this, Su Yun was really impressed by Lai Zhishao's gaze.

He himself wanted to make friends with Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang by relying on the prophets of later generations, but Lai Zhishao, as a person in the game, could see so clearly that these two would be the next in power, which showed that this man had a good strategic vision.

This is a talent!
Su Yun made a decision in his heart. If he was really sure that this person was from a certain camp, he must recruit him under his command!

Su Yun praised: "Uncle Lai really has a keen eye. In the future, you should give me more guidance so that I can walk more steadily."

When Lai Zhishao heard Su Yun call him uncle, he was so happy that his mouth burst into tears. Then he said repeatedly: "You are the superior official, how can you call me uncle? So, let's talk about our own affairs. You can call me Zude, and I will still call you Shangshu Su."

Su Yun smiled and said, "That doesn't make sense. Just call me by my given name."

Lai Zhishao laughed, quickly took out an inkstone from his sleeve, and placed it on Su Yun's desk, saying, "The inkstone in the government office is not very useful, you can use this one."

Su Yun only took a glance and knew it was a very valuable Huizhou inkstone. However, seeing that Lai Zhishao gave it naturally and without any worldly airs, he did not refuse it and said with a smile, "Thank you for the gift, uncle."

"Zude, Zude! Everyone says call me Zude." Lai Zhishao said repeatedly.

Su Yun burst into laughter, and Lai Zhi Shao also laughed happily.

Later, Su Yun asked about the engineering team. Lai Zhishao waved his hand decisively and said, "You should file them all in the Ministry of Works. I will send all their information to you later. There are also some that were originally filed in the Ministry of Works. They will all be sent to you, plus some siege equipment, construction materials, etc., all will be sent to you!
With these things, all construction work will be under the jurisdiction of your Ministry of Works. With this foundation, the Ministry of Works can be considered established.

Yes, there are also some stewards, who are in charge of this construction. They are responsible for communicating with the palace and are a very important bridge. I will then transfer their relationship to the Ministry of Works!"

Su Yun was also very happy when he heard this, and then asked, "Then it will be difficult for you to explain to the Director of the Works Department, right?"

Lai Zhishao sneered when he heard this, "What do you want to explain? Going to the Supervisory Office is just a temporary measure.

This kind of yamen is just a place where craftsmen are located. When the climate changes, they can be transferred out directly. How can they be the head of the family?
Now you can use the General's Office as a stepping stone to advancement, this is its greatest value!"

Su Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "That being said, it's not good for your reputation. We have to think of a better way to explain it. We can't tarnish your reputation for me."

Lai Zhishao said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? I even married a prostitute as my concubine. Why should I be afraid of being accused of selling out the Ministry of Works?
Haha, now it’s a factional struggle among the old party, so naturally I have sold out the reputation of the Chief of Works. But when the new party returns in the future, I will be the great contributor who supports the Ministry of Works to return to the Six Ministries!
So, Juzheng, you don't want me to make a contribution, right?"

Hearing what Lai Zhishao said, Su Yun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aren't you afraid that the old party will punish you now?"

Lai Zhishao sneered, "I'm just waiting for them. At most, they will send me to a remote place. When you get promoted, you can bring me back. I'm too lazy to flatter them!"
