Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 130

"Guess what happened! His Majesty didn't even enter the courtyard before the stench forced him to return to the palace."

"This Duke's Mansion right now! Even if you're a few feet away across the courtyard wall, you can still smell the stench coming from the mansion."

Upon hearing that even Old Zhu was forced to retreat, Wei Wu's smile grew even wider.

This old man is a rough man. Even he can't stand it, which is enough to show how bad the environment in Li Shanchang's family is.

But this is normal. The juice in the canned herring will not dissipate even if it is dried by the sun.

Now the whole Yingtian Prefecture is occupied by two pieces of news: one is that Duke Hanguo has become disgraced, and the other is that Earl Changle has collected a large number of hairy beasts.

Listening to the new versions of the Duke's Mansion ship that kept appearing, Wei Wu felt refreshed both physically and mentally.

But just as he was about to continue rushing to the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Hai suddenly approached and whispered:

"Master, someone wants to see you. He says he's a relative of Eunuch Wang."

"Ok?"

Wei Wu paused and immediately asked:

"Where is he?"

"This guy is sneaking around in the alley next to us. Master, do you want to go?"

"Go, don't worry, it's okay!"

Wei Wu responded casually, then walked into an alley not far away with Zhang Hai alone.

This alley and the outside world are like two different worlds. It is bustling outside but there is no one inside.

Just when Wei Wu was puzzled, a middle-aged man in a linen shirt walked out from the corner.

"I, Song Zhong, pay my respects to Lord Changle."

Song Zhong?

After hearing Song Zhong's self-introduction, Wei Wu was stunned. This name... seems a bit unlucky!

Why did his father give him such an unlucky name? Could it be that he had some strange high hopes for him?

Wei Wu thought about it in his mind, but did not show any strangeness on his face. He just asked a simple question.

"Are you a relative of Eunuch Wang?"

"Gold, absorbed instantly, absolutely..."

"Okay, okay, I get it. Just tell me what news you've found out!"

Hearing the words "absorb instantly", Wei Wu quickly interrupted what he was saying.

Song Zhong also told what he knew.

It turned out that after Zhao Jun returned to the office yesterday afternoon, he immediately selected a group of craftsmen.

Conventionally, we should select those with good skills, but this time all the people we picked were unremarkable.

No, it’s not about being inconspicuous, but about those people who have no popularity and have always been excluded and marginalized.

These people basically do not work on weekdays and have no extra income, so they can only survive on a meager salary.

And Song Zhong happened to be one of the selected people.

After listening to Song Zhong's description, Wei Wu pondered for a moment before slowly asking:

"Song Zhong, I want to know how skilled you, the selected ones, are at crafting."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhong's eyes immediately lit up with confidence.

"To Lord Changle, I dare say that no one in the entire Ministry of Works can do carpentry better than me. It's just that they are blind."

After listening to Song Zhong's words, Wei Wu probably understood why they were excluded.

It's not that his skills are bad, but that his skills are too good. He is proud of his abilities but doesn't know how to socialize.

He only knows how to bury his head in work, but doesn't know that in officialdom, in addition to being capable, one must also know how to flatter.

However, this kind of person is exactly the kind of talent Wei Wu wants!

As for the arrogance in their hearts, Wei Wu just wants to say haha!

Just take out a flashlight, if they can make Wei Wu on the spot...just give them a few cans of herrings!

Since Li Shanchang and Zhao Jun gave him so much face, Wei Wu had no choice but to accept it generously.

He wants as many such people as there are.

As long as their arrogance is suppressed, these people will become the best technical workers.

To be honest, at this moment, Wei Wu even wanted to take some cigarettes and alcohol to Li Shanchang's house to thank him.

He gives me whatever I want. How can this old guy be so considerate?

To ensure that there would be no mistakes, Wei Wu asked Song Zhong another question.
