"It's my lord!" The doctor of the camp repair department stepped forward and said yes loudly.

Although he had already prepared a draft, Zhou Yingqiu still felt agitated and enjoyed it when he said it this way.

He remained expressionless, thought for a while and then said loudly: "Report any problems immediately, and don't make decisions without authorization. This matter is very important. I hope that all colleagues can work together and don't cause trouble again!"

"It's my lord!" Zhou Yingqiu trained the group of people well, and agreed in unison.

Immediately, the Ministry of Industry mobilized as a whole, put aside all other tasks, and regarded the matter of water transportation as a top priority, with unprecedented busyness and seriousness.

Sitting behind the desk, Zhou Yingqiu looked at the subordinates going back and forth outside the window, snorted softly, and said to himself, "Don't you guys want to throw me the blame? I want the blame, and the blame is still yours."

"My lord." Yao Tianrao, the official secretary, walked in quietly with a smile.

Zhou Yingqiu laughed, and said: "You did a good job. If you find someone to spread the word, just say that I just came to the Ministry of Industry and I don't have such a big power. In fact, it's all managed by the other two adults in secret. Do you understand? "

Yao Tianrao's eyes lit up one day, and he said: "My lord is wise, I will send someone there right away. By the way, my lord, what should I do with the deficit found in the account book?"

Zhou Yingqiu's expression moved slightly. The shortfall is naturally a shortfall within the Ministry of Industry. There are many reasons for this shortfall, but most of them are due to the large teleportation skills of insiders.

"We have to make good use of this." Zhou Yingqiu said with a weird smile on his lips, "Those who are not related to water transportation will be suppressed first."

"It's my lord." Yao Tianrao quickly understood.

The Ministry of Industry's action was too big, and the water transport was already attracting attention, and it spread throughout the capital in a short time.The most affected are naturally the major families that own ships in the water transport.

"What, arrest the boat? How dare they?"

"The water transportation is about to start, are they trying to cause chaos in the world?"

"No, we have to find a way, and we must not let the ship be detained!"

Chapter 121

The governor of the Water Transport Yamen a few months ago was Li Sancai. He is a giant of the Donglin Party and has controlled the Water Transport for more than ten years. Naturally, all aspects of the Water Transport have been infiltrated by the Donglin Party and almost completely controlled by them.

The Donglin Party controls the water transportation, and its interests are the greatest, but it does not mean that they are the only ones who are nervous.Merchants traveling from south to north, but those who depend on water transportation, are extremely nervous.

A rather stylish teahouse.

At the table on the east side, a group of people dressed in seemingly luxurious clothes gathered around the table, talking in low voices with sad faces.

"Have you heard? The Ministry of Industry is serious this time!"

"This time, the Ministry of Industry is ordered to investigate the approval and ships of water transport, so it's not easy to be fooled."

"Right now, the docks and post stations in the capital are full of people from the government office of the Ministry of Industry. As long as the approval documents are incorrect, people will be detained immediately, and ships will not leave the port!"

"I have also detained several boats. It is useless to intercede with many people. The people from the Ministry of Industry said that if the fines are not paid in full within the deadline, the boats will be confiscated if new approvals are obtained."

The table on the west is also a group of people, but judging from the clothes, it should be a mixture of officials and civilians.

"Do you know? I heard that Zhou Shilang has just been appointed to the Ministry of Industry not long ago, and he is still not fully recognized. In fact, he has no power."

"You mean, Zhong Shangshu is behind the scenes?"

"If you want me to tell you, it's definitely not. Mr. Zhong has always advocated inaction, and Wang Shilang probably presided over this matter behind the scenes."

"Speaking of it this way, it's quite like Mr. Wang's style. I'm afraid it can't be kind."

"Actually, I'm fine. There aren't many ships, but a lot of goods have been seized. I don't know if I can redeem them."

A group of people talked a lot, but after all, they were just private businessmen with limited influence, and they had no power to resist the thunder of the Ministry of Industry.

But at this moment, in Zhao Nanxing's mansion, a group of Donglin party members involved in water transportation gathered together, and they all looked at Zhao Nanxing with worried expressions.

"Your Excellency, you have to think of a way. Water transportation is just around the corner. The Ministry of Industry will make a big deal out of it."

"That's right, the food from the south cannot be transported, not only will the capital be affected, but there will be troubles in Liaodong and the nine borders."

"My lord, we can't wait any longer. Once the Ministry of Industry is completely spread out, it will not end so well."

Officials from various yamen, including the Six Ministries and the Nine Ministers, treated Zhao Nanxing as an emotional trash can, pouring bitter water out of their heads.

Zhao Nanxing's face was not good-looking. The Chu Party's move was indeed beyond his expectation. Zhong Yuzheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was an upright person, and Wang Shunding was also a member of the Donglin Party. If they didn't directly stab the imperial court, they would have a lot of room to turn around.

Now that the imperial decree is clearly issued, the Ministry of Industry can't help but delay and neglect, so as to form the current situation.

Wang Ji sat at the bottom left of Zhao Nanxing, heard a group of people yelling, found a gap, and said to Zhao Nanxing solemnly: "My lord, it is really not appropriate to delay this matter, but don't act rashly, otherwise the Chu party may go crazy You can't bite it."

Zhao Nanxing kept his face sullen, the anger on his old face was concealed, but sparks were shining in his eyes.

A group of people took the opportunity to scold the Chu party again, but their focus was still on the water transportation, and they kept persuading Zhao Nanxing to find a way to stop the Ministry of Industry and restore the water transportation to normal.

A clerk at the water transport yamen looked up at Zhao Nanxing, seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, I heard that Guan Yingzhen has already contacted many people and is going to write a letter to the emperor to ask the household department to investigate all past water transport transactions." If the money and food are really investigated by the Ministry of Accounts, even if nothing happens, the water transportation will not be able to calm down as usual in ten and a half months!"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone changed color.

Zhao Nanxing even slapped the table, and said angrily: "The Chu party has brought disaster to the country and the people, damn it! It's all because of my soft heart, I should have kicked them all out of the court long ago!"

Seeing that Zhao Nanxing was angry, everyone stopped arguing and looked at Zhao Nanxing together, waiting for his solution.

Zhao Nanxing's expression was cold. Looking at the expressions of this group of people, he was slightly annoyed. How could he not know their involvement in the water transportation, but he also knew that he could only settle accounts after the fall. He looked at Wang Ji with a deep groan and said, "Guan Yingzhen's son also I have something to do with the Shen family, I didn't go into it last time, you can touch it after you go back and gag Guan Yingzhen's mouth."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard it, and secretly said, it's no good for the old censor, this method is fatal.

Wang Ji nodded in agreement, and said, "Then, what should the Ministry of Industry do?"

Zhao Nanxing stood up, with a chill on his face, and said, "I'm going to see Zhong Shulian!"

Zhong Yuzheng, courtesy name Shulian.

"Okay, my lord, if you want to come to Zhong Shulian, you have to give some face!"

"It's saved now, and the water transportation won't be delayed for too long."

"Yes, we can all breathe a sigh of relief."

A group of Zhongzheng officials who serve the country and the people watched Zhao Nanxing's visit to the Zhongfu with reverent eyes.

Zhu Xu likes to be lively the most, but his identity makes him unable to join in, so he can only sigh while listening.

The carriage swayed, and Zhu Xu nodded from time to time as he listened to Cao Wenzhao's report.

Sitting next to Zhu Xu's left, Cao Wenzhao said excitedly, "Your Highness, you really hit the spot. Zhou Yingqiu really has a trick, and his actions are really not small."

Zhu Xu waved his fan with a smile, and said: "Just watch, I don't think it will be long before that Mr. Zhong will resign and return to his hometown."

Cao Wenzhao was startled, and said, "Your Highness, can Zhou Yingqiu really pull Master Zhong off his horse?"
