Chapter 271 Summary of Problems
After Zhu Zaijing’s question was raised, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui couldn’t help but think about it.
Although Zhu Zaijing said before that this errand may be temporary, the more so, the more this matter cannot be treated simply.
Because when this matter was about to take place, Zhu Zaijing temporarily accepted the order and became the Prime Minister of the capital expansion and presided over the groundbreaking ceremony.
So no matter what happens later, this matter is inseparable from Zhu Zaijing.
Therefore, if you want Zhu Zaijing to be successful in this matter or to get it done safely, you must think clearly about the problems that you may encounter after the construction starts, otherwise, if there is an accident, it will not be a joke. .
Gao Gong thought for a while and said: "I believe that the most important thing in this matter is financial power. The expansion of the capital is a major project that may last for decades. If we cannot grasp the financial power, we will not be able to control the financial power." If the matter continues to operate for a long time, it is very likely that someone will get stuck in the neck, causing the project to be delayed."
"When the time comes, your Majesty will punish you, and the prince will definitely bear the brunt of it, and more importantly, if this matter is punished. People's malicious fermentation may also damage the prince's reputation, causing people who don't know the truth to be misled into thinking that the prince is incapable of handling things. "
Gao Gong's words. Both Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui showed serious expressions.
The high arch is not an alarmist statement.
Since the sudden death of Prince Zhuang Jing, the current emperor has not established a heir apparent. There are already rumors from some interested people that His Majesty favors King Yijing and dislikes King Yu, so that is why he has not settled on the East Palace.
If something unexpected happens regarding the expansion of the capital, and some people direct the accident to King Yu, it will make the emperor hate King Yu, and this may be really serious.
Therefore, under no circumstances should any sudden accidents happen to King Yu during his tenure as Prime Minister of the Capital Expansion.
They must consider everything in advance and not give others the slightest chance of an attack.
Zhu Zaijing also nodded with caution at this time and said: "Mr. Gao is right, the financial rights of the capital's expansion are indeed extremely important. Once someone controls it, no matter the progress of the project, The problem is the wages of the workers. These problems will eventually be reflected on me.”
"So, Hai Rui, you should pay more attention to this matter, and carefully supervise any use of the Capital Expansion Project Bank. If there are any wrong or suspicious issues, you must report them to me as soon as possible. I will find a way to deal with them." The problems behind this matter will be solved.”
Hai Rui also felt a heavy responsibility when he heard Zhu Zaijing’s words, and he was also very moved, because at the end, Zhu Zaijing also gave him. Enough guarantee and reliance allowed him to supervise the expansion of the capital more focused.
Hai Rui stood up and bowed to Zhu Zaijing: "I will do my best and never let any money go wrong with the capital expansion project."
Zhu Zaijing believed in Hai Rui's guarantee. , he nodded and said: "That's all for now. Do you have any other questions?"
Zhu Zaijing looked up at Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui and asked.
At this time, Zhang Juzheng still replied.
Zhang Juzheng replied to Zhu Zaijing: "I also have a worry and problem, and that is the management of workers. Although Haixin has the power to supervise project funds, it still lacks supervision of workers. "
"As we all know, all large and small projects inside and outside the capital are led by the Ministry of Industry. Although the workers on their hands are also the best and most professional workers, these workers ultimately Those are the words of the foreman sent by the Ministry of Works. "If someone deliberately causes trouble among these workers, causing these workers to deliberately delay the progress of the project, or deliberately build some projects with substandard quality, then we will still be there." Passive. "
"So, what I am worried about is the management of these workers. If we can find a way to skip the Ministry of Works and manage these workers directly, that would be a good thing. As long as this problem is stuck on Yan Shifan's side, it will be difficult to break through."
After Zhang Juzheng's question was raised, both Zhu Zaijing himself, Gao Gong and Hai Rui all looked thoughtful and even frowned.
Zhang Juzheng’s question is indeed very important and very realistic.
They can use Hai Rui to supervise and take charge of money matters, but workers' matters are completely within the scope of the Ministry of Works' responsibilities, and even Zhu Zaijing will find it difficult to intervene.
Once these workers are maliciously guided or incited and do some illegal things, causing serious delays and accidents in the progress of the project, the management of the Ministry of Works will be held accountable. .
But the final feedback on the problem will still be transmitted to Zhu Zaijing. Who will let him be the prime minister for the expansion of the capital? There are some responsibilities he just can't avoid.
Zhu Zaijing said: "Mr. Zhang put this issue very well. The Ministry of Works has always been responsible for the supervision of workers, and others cannot interfere. If someone causes problems in this matter, we will indeed be very passive."< br>
“However, I think this matter is not unsolvable. You must know that this capital expansion project is not a matter of the Ministry of Industry and the Shuntian Mansion.”
“Although we are very It is difficult for Yan Shifan to manage the workers' problems in the Ministry of Works, but Shuntian Mansion is also the first person responsible. Once any problem occurs, Shuntian Mansion will be the most accountable. Therefore, my intention is to manage the workers. We can communicate with Shuntian Prefecture about this matter.”
“For example, we suggest that His Majesty Shuntian Prefecture should set up a city construction department under Shuntian Prefecture, and let this city construction department directly manage the expansion of the capital. Urban construction affairs, such as the review of foremen’s qualifications and the payment of workers’ wages, can all be handled through the Urban Construction Department.”
“I believe that once the Shuntian Prefecture is involved in this matter, it is related to power and money. , they should be more proactive than the Ministry of Industry. After all, there are too few opportunities for Shuntian Mansion to get access to big projects and huge sums of money.”
"And compared to the Ministry of Industry, Shuntian Mansion is obviously easier to monitor and manage. Therefore, we can use Shuntian Mansion as a breakthrough to make them proactive, and we are only responsible for supporting them."
Zhang Juzheng heard After Zhu Zaijing's words, his eyes lit up.
He never expected that Zhu Zaijing would come up with this clever plan to instruct Shuntian Prefecture to "start anew", directly breaking through the scope of power of the Ministry of Works and taking the management power of workers into his hands.
Zhang Juzheng bowed to Zhu Zaijing in admiration, "Your Majesty, I can contact you about this matter."
Hearing that Zhang Juzheng took the initiative to take up the task, Zhu Zaijing was also relieved. The head said: "Then thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhang."
