After coming out of the warehouse, Jiang Jiang chatted with Uncle Ping for a few more words. As expected, Uncle Ping was very easy to talk to. He was so kind and enthusiastic that Jiang Jiang felt a little embarrassed.

In the end, Jiang Jiang and Uncle Ping signed a lease agreement and paid the rent.

After she had finished everything, she happily left Fu Sheng Bookstore.

After Jiang Jiang left, the smile on Uncle Ping's face gradually disappeared. He looked respectfully at Gu Yanqing beside him and asked in a low voice, "Sir, about the cotton purchase..."

"Purchasing large quantities of cotton all at once will inevitably attract the attention of those merchants. However, Jiang Jiang's one thousand taels is nothing. The people from those merchants in the capital will not care about this inventory of more than ten thousand kilograms. Let our people wait a little longer. After Jiang Jiang finishes collecting the cotton in the capital, you will immediately instruct the people outside to quietly purchase the cotton from Zhongzhou and other places in batches, and try not to arouse anyone's suspicion."

Gu Yanqing didn't know what big thing would happen to cotton, but since someone as cautious as Jiang Jiang was willing to give it a try, a speculator like him couldn't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This is how he always does things.

Either don’t do it, or if you do it, do it thoroughly!

**

At this time, Jiang Jiang didn't know that her decision would push the future cotton price war to a new high.

After leaving the bookstore, Jiang Jiang subconsciously touched his chest.

In fact, she carried all her belongings with her every day, but it was impossible for her to give all the money to Yan Chong at once.

A stunning pretty boy?

No matter how handsome a man is, he is not as important as her little money.

"There shouldn't be any accidents this time, right?"

Jiang Jiang walked and talked to himself, feeling inexplicably uneasy in his heart.

As she walked, she seemed to think of something, and then immediately used her consciousness to connect to the system and opened her system panel.

According to Jiang Jiang's experience, every time the plot changed, she would get a bonus of luck.

So this time...

Jiang Jiang just opened the system panel and was stunned——

Luck +1

Luck +1...

This time, Jiang Jiang's system was not only flooded with messages, but also crashed and froze!

Is it... so exaggerated?

Jiang Jiang stood blankly on the side of the street. If the system's luck value was concrete, Jiang Jiang felt that at this moment he would definitely be surrounded by the golden "luck +1" data.

It seems that the cotton issue this time is not a big problem and we can definitely make money.

but……

Earning over 10,000 taels is good enough, not that much luck points, right? It's not like you can earn 1.8 million taels in one go! Isn't this too exaggerated?

Jiang Jiang blinked and suddenly came to his senses——

I almost forgot, my brother went to the Ministry of Industry today!

So today it's a double bonus? Double the fun?

That... is too much, right?

This system is always confusing.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it is beneficial to me, Jiang Jiang silently recited in his heart with a grateful heart -

Gratitude system.

Ask the system to take you flying~

Ministry of Works, Construction and Repair Office.

"Master Jiang, this is your seat."

An official from the Construction Office respectfully led Jiang Chaosheng to his seat.

"Thank you."

Jiang Chaosheng bowed to the man. Today was his first day in office at the Ministry of Industry, so naturally he had to build good relationships with his colleagues.

"Master Jiang, you are too polite. From now on, we will be colleagues. I am Chen Zhang, the deputy director of the Construction Office, and this is Qu Huairen, the secretary of our Construction Office."

As the official named Chen Zhang spoke, he pointed to another young man who had been sitting and working next to him and introduced him.

The deputy and the secretary, one is of the eighth rank and the other is of the ninth rank, and both of them are Jiang Chaosheng's direct subordinates.

"Hello."

Jiang Chaosheng looked at Qu Huairen who was standing beside him.

At this time, the aloof man finally raised his head slowly and sat up straight. Then, he nodded politely at Jiang Chaosheng as a response to his greeting. After that, Qu Huairen lowered his head again and calculated something seriously.

"Master Jiang, don't worry about it. Spring has just arrived, and spring plowing has begun in various places. There are also many repair projects that need to be started one after another. Our construction department has been very busy recently. Master Qu is a mathematical genius. Every year at this time, he needs to personally calculate the project budget accounts and inventory counts."

"Master Qu has worked hard."

Jiang Chaosheng was not angry with Qu Huairen at all. Instead, he felt that this colleague was a very good person who got things done.

Before he came, he had heard that the working atmosphere in the Ministry of Industry was the best among the six ministries, because everyone worked on their own things and did not interfere with each other. There were even some famous craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry who would retreat to research and invent, and sometimes you would not see them once a year.

Seeing that Jiang Chaosheng did not attack Qu Huairen, Chen Zhang on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that the new Suo Zheng was still easy to get along with.

"Master Jiang..."

Thinking of this, Chen Zhang smiled again, and his smile became more genuine. He continued to introduce Jiang Chaosheng to the scope and content of his work, and took him on a tour of the office space of the maintenance office.

"The warehouse of our repair office is at the back. There are three more warehouses like this one."

Chen Zhang said, and took out two keys from his pocket: "By the way, Lord Jiang, your official residence has been prepared a long time ago. It's near our Ministry of Works. Anyway, there is no official business right now, how about I take you to the official residence to have a look?"

Official residence.

Jiang Chaosheng nodded. When he left, he subconsciously looked back at the warehouse behind him. There were a lot of materials and parts stored in the warehouse.

It shouldn't be difficult to assemble a curved plow, right?

With something on his mind, Jiang Chaosheng followed Chen Zhang out of the Ministry of Works. Not long after, they arrived at a wide alley called Muwa Lane.

The name of this alley is simple and easy to remember.

Originally, a group of craftsmen lived in this Muwa Lane. Later, the Ministry of Works expanded and occupied this area. Finally, this small alley was preserved and rows of official residences were built to provide temporary residence for officials of all ranks of the Ministry of Works.

Of course, these are all work benefits. The original intention was to provide welfare housing for officials of all ranks who had just come to Beijing to serve as officials and had no housing in the capital.

"Master Jiang, please come this way."

No. 32, Shingle Lane.

Chen Zhang smiled as he led Jiang Chaosheng to the gate of a courtyard. He took out the key and opened the door. As the wooden door opened, a clean and tidy courtyard appeared in front of Jiang Chaosheng.

Jiang Chaosheng asked in surprise: "This is... my official residence?"

Aren’t the official residences of the Ministry of Works said to be very simple and small?

But the yard in front of me is very large, a standard two-story courtyard.

The main house, east and west wing rooms, ear rooms, and back houses are all available. There is also a hanging flower gate connecting the two courtyards, which looks particularly elegant.

"Sir, this is the official residence specially arranged for you by Minister Liu." Chen Zhang leaned close to Jiang Chaosheng's ear and whispered.
