"Let's put aside the matter over there for a moment. I have something here that I want to ask your opinion on!"
After thinking it over carefully, Liu Deng looked at Du Ziteng and asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions!"
Hearing Liu Deng's serious words, Du Ziteng immediately bowed his hands and said.
"Logically speaking, I should keep you by my side, but now there are really very few people in my hands that I can use. I have no choice but to leave the matters here to you. What do you think about you taking over the affairs of the Shipping Bureau?"
No matter what, he still had to seek his own opinion on this matter.
"Your Majesty, if you want to lead troops to fight, maybe you can do it...but it's a matter of the Shipping Bureau..."
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Du Ziteng's face suddenly showed a grimace.
He has been with Liu Deng for so long, and he is already familiar with all the yamen in Jinyang City. Of course, he understands that Liu Deng came up with the name Shipping Bureau.
Apart from the dozens of old boatmen, there are basically only the officials who are blind and don't know anything.
It is not an easy task to complete the administrative department of an organization from scratch.
"Of course I will send you capable manpower for specific matters. You can rest assured about this. What you need to be responsible for is to coordinate the relationship between all parties. The old shipwrights in the Shipping Bureau are all very familiar with you now. I Even if the king sends others over, I’m afraid they won’t buy it!”
"You have to think clearly. Although you will have to work hard for several years in this position, when our navy is completed, with this merit, even if you get an official position of one thousand dan, you will be nothing." It’s so easy!”
There was no way to force the head of a cow without drinking water, so Liu Deng broke the truth into pieces, kneaded it and explained it to him bit by bit.
"But can I do it?"
Before, there were only a few hundred craftsmen in total, plus more than 1,000 handymen.
But things are different now. According to the plan Liu Deng has made these days, I am afraid that a large number of craftsmen will come again soon, regardless of all aspects of these people's production and life.
Everything needed to be managed by him. Not to mention how arduous these things were, he was a little unsure whether he could do it.
"You have been with me for so many years, who dares not to give you face? If you need anything, just ask. When the time comes, I will greet you from Mr. Cai, and by the way, I will also greet you from the Neishi Mansion. Hello! Can you do that?"
Although the words had been said for this purpose, Du Ziteng still hesitated.
In the final analysis, he is just a rough guy. Now that he is doing civil service, he still feels a little guilty.
On the other hand, I still have the thought of going to the battlefield...
"I know that you also have the heart to be loyal to the country, but the battlefield is fierce and dangerous. Although I have been careful again and again, you have also seen the damage of this Yinshan victory. Even Long Xiao's martial arts skills, in the end It will inevitably lead to the root cause of the disease, are you so sure that you can come out of the battlefield alive? You don’t want the credit in front of you, do you have to go to the battlefield to fight? "
Liu Deng sighed, then patted him on the shoulder.
"Your Majesty..."
Du Ziteng wanted to defend, but at the moment he didn't know what he should say.
"Those of you who are with me, I sincerely hope that you can have a good ending. If it is not the last resort, I would not want you to end up there!"
"I am willing to die for your Majesty!"
Now that the conversation was over, Du Ziteng couldn't refuse. He could only take a deep breath and immediately knelt on one knee in front of Liu Deng.
"Get up! You don't have to call yourself a subordinate anymore. From now on, you are the head of this shipping bureau! You can call yourself a subject from now on!"
"promise!"
"Okay, you should get up first. The appointment documents will be filled in for you later. I will also try to remove the necessary officials from other places for you. As for other things, it depends on you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Well, I'll leave the affairs here to you. I guess I won't be able to stay in this city for long. I'll leave the matter of contacting those merchants to Mr. Tian. If you need any help, I'll leave it to you." Feel free to ask him for help!”
"Your Majesty, what if someone makes trouble?"
"The king will then transfer another 3,000 veterans from Jinyang. Long Xiao will take over any new posts. All defense matters around the city will be left to him. If anyone dares to cause trouble, you can go Ask him for help! In addition, you can also recruit five hundred brave men nearby to take charge of the internal defense work of the Shipping Bureau!"
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Du Ziteng suddenly felt reassured.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After all, with the soldiers in hand, Du Ziteng immediately felt relieved.
"My lord, when do you think we will set off?"
As soon as Liu Deng's front foot finished explaining the matter and went out, Chuntuo couldn't help but greeted him again.
"I said Eunuch Chun, even if His Majesty is in a hurry, you have to let me finish the things here. Someone has to take over the things I have here... Otherwise, do you think this will work? In three days, we will wait for the king Now that we’ve explained this clearly, how about we set off immediately?”
Liu Deng hasn't thought of a countermeasure for this matter in Chang'an City for a while, so now he can only rely on his own conscience.
"My great king, please forgive me. Your Majesty has issued a strict decree. Please carry it out as soon as it arrives. There will be no delay in the process!"
Chuntuo has been with the emperor for so many years, and of course he understands that Liu Deng is simply dragging his feet, and there will definitely be three more days after three days.
So from the beginning, he didn't intend to open an opening...
"Not even three days?"
"My lord, just do it, okay. If you really wait three days, my head will be used as a ball for you!"
As Chuntuo spoke, he made preparations to kneel down.
Seeing that he was starting to act like a rogue, Liu Deng also smiled bitterly. It seemed that the emperor was really anxious this time...
"Then head office tomorrow, right? No matter how anxious I am, I still have to make preparations, right?"
Liu Deng said angrily.
"Then tomorrow?"
Only then did Chuntuo wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Okay, okay, tomorrow is tomorrow!"
Seeing Liu Deng wave his hand a little irritably, Chuntuo finally bowed his hand towards Liu Deng and stepped aside.
