We all work as officials in the Imperial Household Department. No matter what our previous relationship was, we are all colleagues now, so naturally there will be many opportunities for us to get along with each other in the future.
Although I won't try to please anyone deliberately, I won't try to offend anyone deliberately either.
But Hu Fei's attitude was different, and it was clear that he was offending people, which made everyone very confused.
But naturally, no one would choose to stick their head in front of a cold butt. Since Hu Fei has such an attitude, there is no need to say anything more to him.
"In that case, we'll take our leave now and visit you again when we're free." Then everyone bowed and left one after another.
After everyone left, the expression on Hu Fei's face slowly faded.
A short man with a mustache came up behind Hu Fei and said worriedly, "Boss, I'm afraid this isn't the right thing for us to do. We're going to have a hard time after offending so many people."
Hu Fei glanced at the small man and asked calmly, "How long have you been following me?"
"It's been sixteen years since I came back to the boss's house. I have been following the boss since I entered the mansion at the age of fourteen." The little man said with a smile.
Although he didn't know why his boss asked this question, he was not worried about what his boss would do to him.
"Yes, sixteen years." Hu Fei sighed with a smile, then said with a serious expression: "We have been doing business for these sixteen years. But you have to remember, from today on, we are no longer doing business, we are officials."
"Being an official is different from doing business. In business, the key is to make money through harmony. It's best not to offend anyone. Making money through harmony is the most important thing. But being an official is different. Being an official doesn't just mean you don't offend anyone. Don't be afraid of offending people." Hu Fei patted the servant on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You'll understand soon."
After entering his yamen, Hu Fei looked around and then sat down in his chair.
In fact, Hu Fei is still a little dazed and has never thought that he would one day become an official.
Hu Fei originally thought that this would be the end of his life, but he never expected that he would be able to sit in the position of head of the Audit Department today.
Now that I think about it, fate is truly amazing.
Hu Fei was very clear about his situation.
He must be an exception in the Imperial Household Department and must be incompatible with the people here; if he gets along well with the people here, that would be the end of him.
He is His Majesty's man, so just focus on getting things done, nothing else matters.
The most important thing is that His Majesty does not want him to be too close to them, otherwise this task will not fall on him.
Seeing the servant coming in, Hu Fei reached out and took a piece of paper, then said to the servant: "Hu Laoer, please follow this list and notify everyone. I want to see them at the Ministry of Internal Affairs the day after tomorrow. As for what to do, you can clearly tell them that the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to discuss with them the matter of royal offerings."
"Besides that, go find some big merchants who are on good terms with us and have them come with us. This is the list I've compiled of items needed for the palace. Find merchants based on this list, and don't hire unskilled merchants. If anyone offers you silver, don't accept it."
Hu Laoer was stunned. He didn't expect that his boss would specifically tell him not to accept the money.
Because when they were doing business in the past, many people gave them money in exchange for doing business with the Dong Dong family. The Dong Dong family never said anything about the money, it was more like a benefit for them. But this time, the Dong Dong family gave them a very strict warning.
"We are working for the royal family. If we are not careful, we will lose our heads and our entire family will be executed. We need money, but it's not like this, do you understand?" As if afraid that Hu Laoer didn't understand, Hu Fei spoke again and instructed.
This time his tone was much harsher, and he was obviously afraid that Hu Laoer would not take his words to heart.
"Boss, don't worry, I understand." Hu Laoer quickly assured.
After Hu Laoer left, Hu Fei continued to be busy.
For Hu Fei, the battle the day after tomorrow will be a crucial battle.
If you succeed, you will become famous and your position will be consolidated instantly; if you fail, you will inevitably become the target of public criticism and your ending will not be good.
Then I can only do my best to do the job well and there must be no mistakes.
As for turning back or not doing it, Hu Fei never thought about it. From the moment His Majesty came to him, his fate was sealed. He had no power to make his own decisions, and all he had to do was to move forward courageously according to His Majesty's wishes.
I am like a pawn crossing a river, I can only move forward and have no way to retreat.
Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.
The move was still going on. Zhu Youxiao was dissatisfied with the mess in the Qianqing Palace, so he ran directly to Empress Zhang. He accompanied Empress Zhang in eating, drinking and having fun every day, and had no intention of attending court.
Zhu Youxiao remained silent on the debate in the court. Judging from the news that came in every day, everything was proceeding according to plan.
Registration for Shen Tingyun's Royal Academy has already begun; the establishment of the Imperial Household Department is also going smoothly.
Xu Guangqi is keeping an eye on the Academy of Hundred Craftsmen. Ever since the Armory Bureau was handed over to the Academy of Hundred Craftsmen, the development there has been very rapid, so there is no need to worry too much.
Qi Jin is busy with the training of the Tiger Roar Camp, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.
The Ministry of Revenue also started trial planting, and Xu Guangqi collected a lot of seeds.
