Chapter 208 What are you doing?
In fact, when Han Sijin learned of Han Zhuo's identity, he was disdainful of men like Han Zhuo who sold their bodies to get to the top.
At the same time, I also superficially thought that Han Zhuo must be a sissy with greasy hair and powdered face.
But he didn't expect that Han Zhuo had such an awe-inspiring aura.
Moreover, the more she interacted with Han Zhuo, the more she realized that this person was extraordinary.
Just now, from the first moment he saw Han Zhuo, he was certain of this.
Han Sijin grew up in the city. Through the connections of his parents and uncles, he got a job as a gatekeeper in the Ministry of Works.
Although it is not very decent, at least we have three meals a day and enough food to eat and drink.
Han Sijin is very satisfied with her current situation. After all, she knows that with her identity, this is how her life will be.
When the time comes, she will restore her status as a daughter. With her family background and appearance, she can at least marry a seventh-rank official.
But the moment she saw Han Zhuo, she instinctively wanted to get closer.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally opened up a smooth road to power.
Although Han Sijin is young, she has experienced a lot, seen a lot, and has even more drinking and eating friends.
Han Sijin glanced around a little surreptitiously at this time, and said to Han Zhuo with a smile.
"Minister Han, there are so many people at the gate, why don't we go inside and have a chat?"
Han Zhuo laughed and said, "Okay, you lead the way."
Han Sijin turned around immediately and saw her companion still standing there in a daze.
So he kicked him and cursed, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and lead Minister Han's horse into the yard."
"Be smart, our Minister is a kind-hearted man."
"If you do things well, you will definitely get some benefits!"
After hearing this, his companions responded repeatedly, and then respectfully led Han Zhuo's chestnut horse into the yard.
Han Zhuo looked at Han Sijin's operation and nodded slightly. Not bad, this little girl is useful and smart enough.
Soon, the three of them entered the yard and the gate was closed again.
Han Sijin brought Han Zhuo to a landscape pavilion. Although the decoration here was not as good as that of the imperial palace, it was also magnificent.
After all, this is the Ministry of Works, which is in charge of all agriculture, water conservancy, various buildings and craftsmen in the world.
The Ministry of Works was naturally renovated in a unique way.
Although Han Sijin was appointed as an assistant by Han Zhuo, she did not dare to sit down. Instead, she stood aside and asked her little friend to make tea.
She moved slightly closer to Han Zhuo and spoke in a low voice.
"Minister Han, you've just taken office. Although you have no foundation and no backing, you are, logically speaking, a trusted confidant of His Majesty. Even if the officials in the Ministry of Works are resentful, they won't show it openly."
"And now they've all taken leave and are not working at the same time. Naturally, they're being manipulated by someone else."
"As for who it is, I don't know, and I dare not say."
Han Zhuo looked at her and said with a smile, "Then tell me what you dare to say."
Han Sijin chuckled and said, "Minister Han, you are extraordinary. You treat a humble and lowly person like me with courtesy. I am deeply grateful."
"Since you regard me as your own, I dare not hide anything from you."
"I just want to ask you, Minister Han, why did you come to the Ministry of Works?"
"If you were just like those gentlemen in the Ministry of Works, going to work at dawn and going home at dusk, then you could just pretend nothing happened."
"It's time to come, time to go, just hanging out with these old men every day, just killing time."
"If you really want to accomplish something great to win more favor from His Majesty, then I have something to say."
Han Zhuo nodded: "Go on."
In fact, Han Zhuo already had a way to deal with it, but he also wanted to know how Han Sijin would handle this matter?
As long as Han Sijin can explain something, Han Zhuo will definitely make use of this person.
And he will also be an important starting point for Han Zhuo to deal with the entire Xuanyuan country's officialdom!
Han Sijin is very smart. Although Han Zhuo did not say it explicitly, Han Sijin knows that since Han Zhuo has come to the Ministry of Industry to take up his post, he naturally wants to achieve some results.
Then Han Sijin said, "These old men in the Ministry of Industry have already shown disrespect and arrogance since your first day in office. You will naturally not be able to command them in the future."
"Instead of this, I think it would be better for you to choose one of the five departments of the Ministry of Industry and focus on its development and cultivate your trusted associates."
"Then, from the officials to the craftsmen, I will select and cultivate them all myself, and achieve great things."
"If this is the case, His Majesty will naturally be very pleased, and your position in the Ministry of Works will naturally be secure."
"Over time, these gentlemen from the Ministry of Industry will gradually acknowledge your existence and won't dare to show your displeasure anymore."
After hearing this, Han Zhuo laughed out loud: "Okay, then do as you say."
After hearing this, Han Sijin was stunned. She didn't even react for a moment.
What she said to Han Zhuo just now were actually just her personal thoughts.
She is young, has many ideas, and often comes up with many thoughts.
However, due to his low status and insignificant influence, everything only existed in his mind and had never been realized.
Even when she was drinking and eating meat, and chatting and bragging with her friends, no one ever took her words seriously.
She didn't expect that after just meeting Han Zhuo today, he would take his casual words to her so seriously.
Seeing her stunned and speechless, Han Zhuo immediately said, "Why, you were bragging just now, but now that I'm asking you to do it, you're afraid to do it?"
Han Sijin was provoked by Han Zhuo's words and immediately said with a straight face: "Who, who doesn't dare?"
"You are my superior, and you are my mentor. As long as you give the order, I will move forward courageously in the mountains and seas!"
Han Zhuo stood up, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "What a courageous person! If that's the case, then let's do it!"
Han Sijin instinctively flinched after Han Zhuo said this. She stammered, "What are you doing?"
Because she was standing very close to Han Zhuo, Han Sijin could feel a strong masculine aura emanating from Han Zhuo, causing her cheeks to turn slightly red.
Han Zhuo laughed upon seeing this and said, "Of course it's just as you said."
"Since it's the Ministry of Industry, I'm not interested in the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Conservancy, and the Ministry of Forestry for the time being."
"I do have some knowledge of the Ministry of Industry and Transportation, and I plan to deal with the relevant matters first."
"However, I don't think we can call those craftsmen right now. Do you know any skilled craftsmen?"
Han Sijin subconsciously took three steps back, seemingly wanting to distance himself from Han Zhuo as a sign of respect, but in reality he simply couldn't withstand the powerful aura emanating from Han Zhuo.
She didn't know why, but whenever she got close to Han Zhuo, her heart would start beating very fast!
How, how could this happen?
