After Su Jing's advice, Zhu Biao embarked on the "journey" again.
This time, his goal is very clear, which is to complete this business.
The process and means should be implemented as needed!
As for the reform of Guanglu Temple's procurement system, we will talk about it later.
With a clear goal in mind, Zhu Biao's next actions went much smoother.
Next to the two buyers of Guanglu Temple, there is another person who is always paying the bills.
Of course, they don't know that their heads will be moved soon.
As for Su Jing, she continued to listen to music.
At the same time, in the Forbidden City, inside the Fengxian Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang is also paying close attention to the purchase of this glass. No, there is an extra Queen Ma.
After all, it was her will.
However, the execution of this process made Zhu Yuanzhang quite annoyed!
What these two buyers did really made Queen Ma furious!
boom!
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: "I asked them to go purchase, and I also specifically stipulated that the concession would benefit the people, but this is how they ended up doing things for me?"
Now Zhu Yuanzhang has a lot of state affairs, and he has never interfered with the procurement of Guanglu Temple.
Compared with some purchases in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was more concerned about military and political affairs, and of course, his son Zhu Biao.
Only this time, the purchase of glass was related to the manufacture of telescopes. So many frontline soldiers were in urgent need of the artifact, so Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally particularly concerned.
However, I am afraid of being put on the scale. When it is not on the scale, it does not matter.
"Chongba, calm down."
Empress Ma was much calmer and advised Zhu Yuanzhang: "It's not like you don't know about greed for profit in procurement. Even when the uprising was just beginning, wasn't it the same?"
Along with Zhu Yuanzhang, there were no shortage of wars and management.
There will be some tricks in purchasing this kind of thing, and Zhu Yuanzhang knows it well.
"Sister, they are going too far!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "How should the people think of me if I act like this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang still cared about the reputation of the people. During the early uprising, he strictly restrained his soldiers and did not harass the people.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to get many soldiers to actively join him.
Now, these two little purchasers from Guanglu Temple were so blatant, which really made Lao Zhu furious!
Empress Ma discovered something different. She looked at the news from the Guards Department and said:
"Chongba, I remember that the anti-corruption decree written by Biaoer contains content about Guanglu Temple."
"Why hasn't the Guanglu Temple's procurement process changed much?"
At that time, Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang read the anti-corruption decree written by Zhu Biao together.
Empress Ma still remembers some of the contents quite clearly.
According to Zhu Biao's requirements, one person should be responsible for communicating and negotiating prices for procurement within Guanglu Temple, and the other should be responsible for order tracking.
Judging from the information coming back now, although there are two purchasing officials, they are obviously working together and have no distinction in authority.
Hearing Queen Ma's words, Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned and said:
"I asked the good leader to make arrangements. The good leader shouldn't delay."
Zhu Yuanzhang also had great trust in Li Shanchang.
In the process of Zhu Yuanzhang's struggle for world hegemony, Li Shanchang did not let Lao Zhu worry about the rear.
Everything, big and small, was done in an orderly manner.
Empress Ma immediately said: "South Korea is busy with official affairs, and it is impossible to focus on this matter all the time. I think it is most likely the problem of Guanglu Temple. Think about it, just two purchasing officials can do it." If you dare to do this, how will others fare better?"
Li Shanchang was a hero of Conglong who joined Zhu Yuanzhang not long after his uprising, and Guanglu Temple only happened later.
Regardless of whether Li Shanchang has a problem or not, Queen Ma will not involve Li Shanchang in the matter.
The governance of the Ming Dynasty also required Li Shanchang's talents.
Which one is more important and which one is less important, Queen Ma knows very well.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "What the sister said is that it seems that after this time, Guanglu Temple should be properly renovated."
With Queen Ma around, Zhu Yuanzhang is still relatively restrained.
At this time, it was his son Zhu Biao who was handling the glass purchase issue again. It happened that Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to see Zhu Biao's ability to handle things.
Zhu Biao is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so it is a good thing to experience this early.
"Well, with Mr. Su here, this matter is safe."
Queen Ma nodded, still trusting Su Jing.
However, as soon as Queen Ma finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly became ugly again:
"This Su Jing actually dares to mislead Biao'er!"
That's right, Zhu Yuanzhang happened to see Su Jing taking Zhu Biao into the flower shop at this moment.
When Queen Ma heard this, she also looked over, her face a little ugly.
Zhu Biao is the prince. He is not married yet, and his first child in the future will be the eldest son.
If something happens in Huafang, it will involve Daming's face.
"It's really hateful! I must teach this kid Su Jing a lesson!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he was even ready to go directly to Su Jing and kill him.
Queen Ma did not speak in a hurry, but continued to read the rest of the message.
"Mr. Su is just rescuing Biao'er, Chongba, don't worry too much."
Queen Ma comforted her with words, and at the same time she was trying to comfort herself.
"snort!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "It's best like this."
Zhu Yuanzhang became even more angry when he thought that his son, Zhu Biao, who was still the prince, was brought into the hook fence by Su Jing.
That is to say, Queen Ma is here, otherwise Zhenzhi may not be able to do anything.
"Chongba, look at Mr. Su asking Biao'er to handle this matter. Did you see something?"
Queen Ma asked Zhu Yuanzhang.
The idea of going to Su Jing to purchase glass in the name of palace procurement was proposed by Empress Ma. She was naturally curious as to why Su Jing directly handed over the glass sales to Zhu Biao.
Could it be that Su Jing has seen through everything?
Su Jing's status in Queen Ma's heart is much higher than that in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
Such a coincidence, no wonder Queen Ma thought so.
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and thought for a moment: "I don't think so. Su Jing is obviously letting Biao'er practice her skills. Sister, it's not easy for Su Jing to see through your thoughts."
Resolutely safeguarding Queen Ma has been Zhu Yuanzhang's consistent purpose.
Queen Ma glanced at Lao Zhu and stopped talking, so Lao Zhu left it at that.
Inside Guanglu Temple.
Gaul is still looking at Zhu Biaoyou's institutional reform decree on the internal processes of Guanglu Temple.
The division of powers and responsibilities, as well as many detailed rules, are all available.
The more I look at Gaul, the more I feel frightened, because if the reforms are completed according to these procedures, I will have much less room for maneuver.
To put it bluntly, the difficulty of greed will be greatly increased.
At this time, Gaul recalled the words of the eunuch who delivered the edict after accepting the imperial edict.
For a moment, Gaul realized that his situation had become dangerous.
"Somebody come!"
Gao Lu immediately shouted, and several subordinates ran over immediately.
"Sir, what do you want me to do?"
The subordinate immediately asked Gao Lu cautiously.
Gao Lu glanced at them and said: "You are all personally watching the purchase of colored glaze for the queen, right?"
"That's natural. Don't worry, sir, this matter will be handled properly."
The subordinate replied very confidently and didn't take it too seriously.
Of course, I don’t blame him. After all, Guanglu Temple is responsible for royal procurement.
Queen Ma has a noble status, but this is not the first time. Even the things that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang needs are the responsibility of Guanglu Temple.
"snort!"
Gao Lu snorted coldly and said: "Then tell me, what progress are you making now? I have seen the colored glaze from several companies. How is the quality? How has the price been agreed upon?"
When it comes to your subordinates, you must know best.
Gao Lu asked several questions, which stunned all the subordinates in front of him.
"this"
Looking at the hesitating subordinates in front of him, Gao Lu said angrily: "If you don't hurry up and take care of it yourself, if there is even the slightest mistake, I can't spare you!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Understood, sir!"
Several subordinates left quickly, and as for Gao Lu, they went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Regarding the reform of the internal process of Guanglu Temple, we still have to ask Prime Minister Zuo Li Shanchang.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Li Shanchang is handling government affairs. Queen Ma is right in saying that Li Shanchang is really busy.
Things like anti-corruption were arranged, but he really didn't have that much time to follow up.
"Prime Minister, I have taken the liberty of visiting you, Prime Minister Haihan."
Gao Lu bowed respectfully and said, "He is the third-rank minister of Guanglu Temple in Guanglu Temple, so he is right."
But in front of Li Shanchang, Gao Lu was just a third-rank Guanglu Temple Minister.
Whether it is Prime Minister Zuo or Duke Han, they are at a height that Gaul cannot reach in his lifetime.
"Master Gao, I remember that you were not busy buying things that the queen needs. Why did you have time to come to me?"
Li Shanchang said calmly, without even raising his head, he kept looking at the official document in his hand.
Gao Lu immediately said: "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, was joking. I came here to pay a special visit. The main reason is to ask for advice on the internal process and power restructuring of Guanglu Temple."
Hearing this, Li Shanchang raised his head slightly, looked at Gao Lu and said, "I remember that this matter had been arranged a long time ago. Master Gao seemed to have said that the Queen's matter was important, so he put it on hold for the time being."
"Don't dare!"
Gao Lu's face was covered with cold sweat, and he explained: "The empress' decree was urgent. At that time, the official was only concentrating on the empress's affairs and failed to take into account anything else. So today I came here specifically to ask the prime minister for advice. It was also for the sake of the prime minister." apologize."
At that time, Gaul had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. Although Li Shanchang was the Prime Minister of the Left, Guanglu Temple was a professional procurement agency of the royal family and was directly under the jurisdiction of the palace.
To be honest, Li Shanchang cannot intervene in his actual affairs.
This is also the reason why Gaul dared to use Queen Ma's decree to block the order of Prime Minister Li Shanchang.
But after thinking about it, how could Gaul dare to be disrespectful at all.
Li Shanchang said calmly: "There is no need to apologize. The matter of Guanglu Temple is not within my jurisdiction. I only informed Mr. Gao. The specific measures are drawn up by His Royal Highness."
"So, Mr. Gao, there is no need to ask me for advice. Just follow His Highness the Crown Prince's orders."
With just a few words, Li Shanchang pushed Gao Lu out of the Prime Minister's Palace.
As Gao Lu left, Li Shanchang also put down the official document in his hand. The expression on his brows changed, but quickly returned to the same state.
There was only a faint sigh: "Su Jing, Su Jing, what have you taught the prince?"
