Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

The four officials standing in the front of the crowd saw Du He's behavior and lowered their heads with disdain on their faces.

"Bah, you're a big shot!"

These four people were exactly the clansmen of the Jingzhao Du family.

They have received orders from the family to secretly collect evidence of Du He's favoritism and corruption, and then ask the censor to impeach this family traitor.

In addition, Shangshu Zuocheng Du Gou and Jiangzhou Sima Du Aitong also had corresponding clansmen watching them secretly.

Du He glanced at the four members of the Jingzhao Du family and a sneer appeared on his face.

Wait until everyone’s voices subside.

Du He waved his hand and said, "This minister has only one request for you, and that is to complete your duties conscientiously and responsibly!"

"If anyone abuses his power for personal gain or commits fraud, or just occupies his position without doing anything, don't blame me for being merciless!"

As for what Du He said, only Xiao Kai and the four members of the Jingzhao Du family knew what was going on.

Other officials believed that Du He was just making the first move since taking office and wanted to pick some ignorant people to establish his authority.

The faces of the officials became solemn and they all bowed to Du He.

"As ordered!"

Du He then gave them some instructions and waved his hand to let everyone get busy.

When Du He returned to the office, Xiao Kai also tiptoed in.

After Xiao Kai closed the door of the room, he walked to the cushion on the side and sat down with a smile on his face, and said curiously.

"Brother Du, what are you going to do with us to make us a hero?"

He had been working in the Ministry of Industry for several years, following that old devil Du Chuke. He should be thankful if he didn't make any major mistakes, let alone any achievements.

It is really unbelievable that my good brother Du He was planning to make a big move with the people from the Ministry of Industry as soon as he took office.

Du He smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, we in the Tang Dynasty lack oxen and laborers, and it is very difficult for the people to farm."

"Moreover, the straight-beam plows used by the people were not only heavy but also extremely difficult to operate. They required two oxen to pull them."

"So I plan to lead the Ministry of Works to innovate the straight-beam plow to make farming easier for the people."

Currently, due to the scarcity of iron materials, iron farm tools are very rare among the people.

Moreover, most of the people's fields are medium-quality and low-quality fields, and there is a shortage of labor at home, so farming is a very difficult task.

As for reclaiming wasteland and cultivating land, that is an even more difficult task.

Xiao Kai asked doubtfully, "Brother Du, have you ever farmed before?"

"This straight-beam plow has been used for thousands of years. How can it be innovated just like that?"

It's not that he doesn't trust his good brother, but that his good brother is a child of a noble family and doesn't know the difference between grains and animals.

How could someone who had no farming experience lead the people in the Ministry of Works to innovate the straight-beam plow?

He knew what kind of people the other people in the Ministry of Industry were.

Relying on the people in the Ministry of Industry to come up with a brilliant idea is nothing but wishful thinking.

Du He shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao, I already have an idea in mind. I just need the people from the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with the experiment."

"You have to hurry up and get rid of the people from Jingzhao Du Sect in the next few days. I feel uncomfortable looking at them."

When talking about business, Xiao Kai's face turned serious.

He said in a deep voice: "Brother Du, I have found the crimes of Du Chaosheng, the head of the Water Department, and Du Qifeng, the head of the Works Department."

"My subordinates are still looking for evidence of the crimes committed by Du Tao, the Deputy Director of the Military Farm, and Du Ye, the Director of the Ministry of Justice. It will take a few days."

Hearing that Xiao Kai was so efficient, Du He's face was filled with doubts.

"Brother Xiao, how did you find out their crimes?"

Xiao Kai smiled and said, "I asked Xiaomian's brothers to bribe people who were on good terms with them. After a lot of threats and inducements, they told everything."

Good guy!

It turned out that they used their connections. No wonder they found evidence against the four members of the Jingzhao Du clan so quickly.

Du He gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Xiao, it's still you who has to take action!"

"I will reimburse you for all the money you spent this time."

Xiao Kai curled his lips and said, "Brother Du, this is just a small amount of money, and you are calculating it so clearly with me. You don't treat me as a brother!"

For these children from wealthy and aristocratic families, a few dozen strings of cash are not a lot of money. A trip to Baihua Tower costs them more than this amount of money.

As long as they can maintain this relationship, it will be the best reward for them.

Du He smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, I won't be polite to you then."

A smile returned to Xiao Kai's face.

The two of them chatted in whispers for a while before Xiao Kai left Du He's office.

After Du He reviewed the memorial for a while, he took out a blank piece of rice paper and drew the shape of the curved plow based on his memory.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was afternoon.

When Du He was immersed in drawing the parts of a curved plow, someone knocked on the door and heard Xiao Kai's voice.

"Brother Du, Minister Du Zuo Cheng is here!"

Hearing his elder brother coming, Du He quickly responded, "Doctor Xiao, please invite Shangshu Zuocheng in."

Not long after, Du Gou walked in with one footstep higher than the other.

Du He quickly stood up and asked, "Brother, how come you have time to come to the Ministry of Industry today?"

Du Gou said with a smile on his face: "You have been promoted to Minister of Industry now. I came to see you and congratulate you."

"By the way, I have another piece of great news for you!"

The former dandy boy unexpectedly became the pillar of their Laiguo Mansion in just over a year.

It is hard to imagine that such an incredible thing is happening right before my eyes.

Du He asked doubtfully: "Brother, what's the good news?"

"Could it be that my sister-in-law is pregnant?"

Forehead...

A look of astonishment instantly appeared on Du Gou's face.

His second brother is really an expert. He didn't expect him to guess it so quickly.

Du Gou nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Second brother, your guess is correct. Your sister-in-law has just been found out that she is pregnant."

He is already 31 years old this year and is about to have his first child, while many people are already grandfathers at his age.

Du Gou continued, "Second Brother, do you have time to come home for dinner today so we can have a good chat?"

"By the way, bring back Princess Chengyang and Du Ping'an and burn incense for father."

When their lineage has descendants, they should burn incense and inform their deceased father as soon as possible.

Previously, Du He was fighting with the army in Liaodong, and he was very busy in the past few days after the army returned triumphantly. He only has some free time now.

In addition to offering sacrifices to his deceased father, Du Gou had a lot of things on his mind. If he didn't explain them to Du He now, he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

Du He smiled and said, "Brother, I will take Yi'er and the little guy back after the shift!"

"it is good!"

Du Gou nodded and then left the Ministry of Industry.
