In the yard of the Dockyard Department, Luo Zhang was holding his belly and laughing so hard that he almost burst into tears. These old men were so cute!
He was actually really thinking about who the person he was was, and whether he knew him or not!
I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen such stupid people. Can someone with such an IQ build a ship? Luo Zhang expressed deep doubts.
"Boy, are you kidding me?" the old man who was deceived by Luo Zhang said through gritted teeth.
"I don't, you really don't know me anymore?" Luo Zhang said with a grin!
"I know you big-headed devil! Tell me quickly, what are you doing here? Do you want to steal something? If you don't tell the truth, we will hang you up and whip you with a whip, and then rub salt on your wounds. You're done!" the old guy said viciously.
"Wow, I'm so scared. What do you think of this move? Is it too vicious?" Luo Zhang had a scared expression, as if he was really frightened.
"How are you? Are you scared? Tell me, who are you? What are you doing here?" the old guy asked quite proudly!
As soon as he finished asking, he was pulled down behind him by an old man. Then the old man saluted Luo Zhangshen and said, "I didn't know that your Excellency was coming. I'm not expecting you at a distance, so don't be surprised if you look forward to it!"
The old man's words startled the others, and they all looked at Luo Zhang dumbfounded, only to realize that Luo Zhang was wearing a sixth-grade official uniform!
"Hey, finally someone understands. I'm just wondering, how did you get here? If I expect you to build a ship, I'm afraid it will all capsize?" Luo Zhang said sarcastically!
After hearing Luo Zhang's words, several old men blushed.
Seeing the looks and expressions of these people, Luo Zhang's eyes widened and he said: "Damn it, you really overturned the ship? Talents! They are all talents!"
Luo Zhang gave a thumbs up to several red-faced old men!
He had to admire these people, they built a boat that capsized and they could still stay here and fight crickets. What does it mean to be an awesome person? This is an awesome person!
"Ahem, that was an accident, an accident, and it was just one time, that's all. The wind capsized the boat. It had nothing to do with the boat we built!" Another old guy stood up and defended!
"Okay, I don't care whether the boat you built capsizes or not, but if the boat I built capsizes, all of you will be dead!" At the end of the sentence, Luo Zhang looked fierce!
This is not to scare them. The ship he built is going to find the Penglai Fairy Island for the emperor. If the ship capsizes on the way, wouldn't everyone be killed?
Hearing Luo Zhang's words, several old guys were a little confused. One of them said, "You want to build a ship? What do you do?"
"Okay, let's get to know each other. My name is Luo Zhang. I am currently a member of the Ministry of Industry, responsible for supervising the construction of sea-going ships. That means that from today on, I will be the head of your shipyard department. Even though you are older than me, you can't build ships. "It's useless to say that, do you understand what I mean?" Luo Zhang introduced briefly.
The old guys looked at each other, and then burst into laughter. This time it was their turn to laugh and roll over, holding their stomachs. Luo Zhang's words were really ridiculous.
Do you build ships? Are you telling us about shipbuilding? What if the boat you built capsizes and our heads fall to the ground?
I have seen bragging, but I have never seen such a boastful person, and what he said is clear and logical, and what he said is really like that!
"Just laugh your ass off, let the labor and management open their eyes wide to see what this is, and then you laugh again. If you can still laugh, I admire you!" With that, Luo Zhang handed over the appointment document that Yan Lide had reviewed. Show it to the old men.
After seeing the handwriting on the document and the official seal, each of them felt as if someone had choked their necks, their faces turned red, but they never dared to laugh again.
Just kidding, is the person in front of me really here to take office? His Majesty personally appointed him and Superintendent Yan personally gave instructions.
But how old is this little guy? Being their grandson is almost enough, but he is the only one who still builds ships? Your Majesty and Superintendent Yan are not kidding us old guys?
All the old guys expressed deep doubts. It was because Luo Zhang was too young.
Young people at this age are either still studying or preparing for scientific examinations. I have never heard of someone becoming a sixth-rank official at such a young age!
Is he a liar? Is this document fake? Are the official uniforms also fake?
Obviously this is impossible, unless that person has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. Anyone who dares to do this will be beheaded if caught!
After thinking about this, the old guys finally realized the problem. This young man was really their immediate boss and was in charge of shipbuilding!
"My lord, I just had a misunderstanding. Please don't blame me!" The old man who had previously recognized Luo Zhang's identity was the first to pay homage. Seeing this, several others did not dare to neglect and paid homage one after another.
In the officialdom, what matters is not how old you are, but how old you are. This is the same whether in modern times or in ancient times!
As Confucius said, when three people walk together, there must be one teacher!
No matter how old you are, as long as you know more than me, you are my master!
The same goes for being an official. Regardless of age, the main official who is older than me is me as the leader!
Luo Zhang had no intention of competing with these guys from his hometown. He waved his hand and said, "Tell me, what's going on with you? Why don't you study shipbuilding instead of fighting with crickets?"
"This..." Several old guys looked bitter, a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to say!
Luo Zhang scanned around and finally clicked on the old guy with some brains and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
The old man who recognized Luo Zhang sighed and said: "It's not that we want to fight crickets, but we are too idle and have nothing to do! We can only fight crickets to relieve our boredom!"
"Huh? What do you mean you have nothing to do? You don't build ships anymore?" Luo Zhang asked doubtfully. He knew a lot about history, but such trivial matters as a prisoner would not be recorded in detail in history books.
"Building a ship? We can't. The ship you mentioned capsized just now. It was the last ship we built. We haven't built one since that time!" the old man replied with a wry smile!
"Why is this? If you don't build ships, where will they come from?"
"Many of them are built using previous shipbuilding methods, so we don't need to take care of them."
"The order of our Dockyard Department is to build bigger ships, better ships, ships that can go to sea. Unfortunately, we have built many without success. We can only build ships that can travel in rivers!" After finishing speaking, , these old men are all dejected, like crickets who have lost a battle!
When the old man said this, Luo Zhang understood. This is a research institute whose purpose is shipbuilding. They don't care about the construction of ordinary ships, they are only responsible for developing and researching how to build bigger and better ships.
Unfortunately, shipbuilding was not prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no navy. There were only some ships in rivers and lakes. Their role was only for transportation, and relying on ships to fight wars? Don't even think about it, you're just joking with the sergeant's life!
Let alone letting the ships go into the sea, if a wave hits, those ships that can navigate the river with ease will definitely capsize!
Sea boats and river boats are not the same concept at all. To build sea boats based on the principles of river boats and let river boats launch into the sea and swim in the sea is just a joke and nonsense!
Taking a deep breath, Luo Zhang exhaled a breath, vented his depression, and then said patiently: "From now on, you can do whatever I tell you to do. Don't ask any questions. Just listen to me." That’s fine! You know?”
A few old men nodded to express their understanding, while a few others clearly couldn't accept Luo Zhang telling them what to do.
"I know you are not convinced, but so what if you are not convinced? Can you still resist?"
The faces of several unconvinced old men turned red. Obviously they didn't expect Luo Zhang to slap, slap, slap in the face like this!
"Don't be dissatisfied, look at how old each of you are? At such an old age, I am just a handyman, but look at me, I am a sixth-rank official at the age of seventeen or eighteen. What does this mean? It means that you are not good. If you want to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, you can only hang out with me. If you want to eat steamed buns and glutinous vegetables, I can't control it. Turn left when you go out and don't give it away. The choice is up to you. That's all I have to say!" After finishing Luo! Zhang is just waiting for these old guys’ decision!
For a moment, several old guys who were three times Luo Zhang's age looked at each other, not knowing what to do!
What Luo Zhang said was rude. Over the years, the more they wanted to build a good ship, but things often went against their wishes. Not only did they fail to build a good ship, but the ship they built sank as soon as it hit the water. This made it very difficult for their superiors to build a good ship. Disappointed, so that they can only hang around and have no motivation anymore!
But Luo Zhang's words gave them hope. If Luo Zhang really said that he could build a good ship, then being popular and drinking spicy food would not be a problem at all!
