    Da Sikong is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

    Although among the six ministries of official, household, ritual, military, punishment, and work, the Ministry of Work ranks last.

    But when it comes to the richness of oil and water, the Ministry of Industry is even better than the Ministry of Household Affairs.

    The Ministry of Industry is in charge of road construction, bridge building, mountain excavation and other projects across the country, as well as various government orders such as farming, water conservancy, and transportation.

    ??The dredging of the city, the repair of civil engineering, the craftsmen's procedures, and the longitude.

    Every job costs money like water, especially water conservancy and river defense, which often costs tens or even millions.

    Throughout the past dynasties, the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry have been high-pressure areas for anti-corruption.

    Once something happens, a case will often break out, which can even involve most of the yamen.

    Therefore, in this dynasty, the position of Da Sikong was mostly given to elders with high moral character.

    They may not be incompetent, but they will definitely not collapse half of the yamen just because of a single case, causing extremely bad effects and losses.

    Song Yan, the great Sikong of the current dynasty, was a Jinshi of Jiashenko in the Zhenyuan Dynasty.

    He is an honest official and has an upright nature.

    Having been in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years, there was rarely any trouble and he won the trust of the emperors of the two dynasties.

    Between the government and the public, there are mostly praises.

    Song Yan¡¯s reputation for being honest is known to even the street kids in the capital.

    With such a reputation of being honest, it is natural that he rarely attends banquets.

    Although Jia Zheng sent someone to send the invitation, he never thought that Song Yan would actually come.

    Unexpectedly, Song Yan not only came, but also brought a minister and an Imperial College minister to offer wine.

    It¡¯s just the minister, at least Jia Zheng also invited him.

    But the Imperial Academy offers wine

    Jia Zheng didn¡¯t even send out the invitation!

    Not knowing what had happened, Jia Zheng was a little flustered. Jia Zheng, the ministers from the Ministry of Industry, Yuan Wailang, the director and others hurriedly left the Xiangnan Hall and headed for the main entrance.

    Not only Jia Zheng was surprised, but other officials from the Ministry of Industry were also surprised.

    ??????? When did their lord of the ministry ever attend a banquet

    When everyone rushed to the main gate with anxiety, they saw three official sedans falling in front of the door.

    The old man who walked out first, wearing a first-grade official robe, was not Song Yan, the great Sikong of the dynasty, so who was he?

    The old man wears an official hat and has a stern face. Two white eyebrows are raised on the brow bone of his forehead. His slender eyes are sharp. He does not look like a kind old man at all, but like a fighter

    Jia Zheng and many officials from the Ministry of Industry were about to salute when they saw Song Yan waving his hands and saying: "Today is private and not official, so there is no need for official entertainment."

    "As he spoke, his eyes fell on the plaque on the main entrance of Rongguo. When he saw the five characters "Edict to build Rongguo Mansion" engraved on it, he nodded slightly.

    Cao Yong, the right minister of the waiting department, and Li Ru, the imperial wine-offering minister, also came to his side. Song Yan sighed softly: "To this day, I still remember the voice and smile of Xian Rongguo.

    Dai Shan Gong went to the horse as Confucian generals, and the horse was made up.

    That day, I visited many times to ask for advice, and Dai Shanggong was always willing to give me advice

    Cunzhou, is your Lixiang Courtyard still there?

    That day I was there to be given guidance by the good Lord.  "

    This Lixiangyuan was the place where Rong Guo retreated in his later years.

    Hearing this, Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Da Sikong, since my late father passed away, Lixiangyuan has been sealed up, and everything remains as before.

    If Da Sikong wants to go"

    "Eh¡­¡­"

    Song Yan waved his hand and said, "Although I also want to visit my old place again, today is not a good time.

    Today is Mrs. Tai¡¯s birthday, how can she be a bad guest?

    Cunzhou, you still have to apologize for me in front of Mrs. Tai.

    "My family is not rich in wealth, except for the money to buy books, we are really not well-off."

    Therefore, I rarely go to other places to have banquets, not because I am pretending to be noble, but I really can't afford the gifts.

    Your family is no better than other families, so you have to come, and you don¡¯t have money to buy birthday gifts, so you can only write a few words as a birthday gift.  "

    As soon as this was said, everyone burst into laughter.

    ¡°Have you ever seen Song Yan speak like this

    Jia Zheng hurriedly took the calligraphy scroll handed over by Song Yan with both hands and said: "Da Sikong's presence in person has added glory to our Jia family.

    It is the best gift to receive a gift from Da Sikong!  "

    Although the Jia family is powerful and noble, Jia Zheng respects famous people, such as Kong Chuanzhen and Song Yan.

    There is no trace of arrogance or extravagance.

    Cao Yong, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, is similar in age to Song Yan. The two are both teachers and friends, so they often ignore the superior and subordinate official ranks.After glaring at Jia Qiang, he said to Jia Baoyu: "Put it away quickly and let people take a closer look. It's amazing. The master is here!"

    Hearing this, Jia Baoyu quickly wiped away her tears with the corner of her sleeve.

    When I came back to my senses, I was still wondering, what happened to him?

    How could he sympathize with a boy who had nothing to do with him

    On the side, Jia Rong was laughing at Jia Qiang, who actually started to make Qingtian.

    Jia Qiang also laughed at herself. At this moment, Jia Zheng's retainer Zhan Guang came quietly, looked at Jia Cong and said in a low voice: "Third Master, please go back first. Today I have a distinguished guest. It is inconvenient to introduce Third Master. It is better to go back and study."  ¡­¡±

    After saying this, he returned to the crowd in front and chatted and laughed with Fu Shi, as if nothing had happened.

    Seeing this scene, even Jia Rong became quiet, and she, Jia Qiang, Baoyu and others quietly looked at Jia Cong with his eyes lowered.

    The eyes are high and compassionate.

    A look of helplessness flashed in Jia Lian's eyes, and he said: "Brother Cong, go back, today is indeed not cheap.

    After telling your second sister-in-law, go back to Mozhuyuan.

    Ask your second sister-in-law to bring you some food.  "

    Hearing this, Jia Cong nodded slightly without saying anything. After bowing to Jia Lian, he turned around and left.
