Chapter 504: This matter
As a result, that afternoon, someone from the Ministry of Works came to tell him that the Minister of Works wanted to see Shen Zhiqiu and asked him to go there the next day.
Just meet him. There's nothing strange about the fact that he just handed over the drawings of two new agricultural tools.
But the bad thing was that just as the people from the Ministry of Works left, people from the Ministry of Revenue came.
He sent word that the Minister of Revenue, Lord Mao, also wanted to see him, and asked him to go there tomorrow, and added a few more words at the end: "It's an urgent matter!"
Shen Zhiqiu was speechless. What do you mean? Is he going to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow? Or the Ministry of Works? Whichever one he goes to first might offend the other.
The most important thing is, if he is allowed to go at this time, he has guessed what is going on. It seems that he cannot escape.
It’s the same old saying: “His talent is like others’ twins, too obvious.”
But before he could figure out which one to meet first, his arms were grabbed by Mr. Shen and Old Man Shen:
"Little Sanzi, what do you think these two adults want you to do?"
"Uh! We haven't been there yet. We won't know until we get there."
It's not that he intentionally concealed it, the key point is, things that have not been determined should not be talked about for the time being, in case the two old men get too excited for the whole night and can't sleep.
Even though he was not very happy about being an official, he knew clearly that the one in his family who most hoped that he would become an official was not his wife or his daughter.
Because the mother and daughter had confidence in him and knew that even if he didn't become an official, they could still provide a good life for their family.
Although they still hope that he will become an official, if he just doesn't want to, the two of them will definitely not say anything.
But it’s different for my grandfather and my father. They have been looking forward to a change of family fortune for most of their lives.
However, he could hide this from others but not from his daughter. Didn't she plant all the seedlings in the greenhouse during the day and then asked him and his wife to grow new seedlings at night?
While he was raising seedlings, his daughter said, "Dad, have you decided which one you want to go to, the Ministry of Revenue or the Ministry of Works?"
Look at what he said. He didn't even ask you why the two ministers from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue wanted to see you?
I didn’t even ask if you would be made an official this time?
What they meant was very certain: Have you decided which department you want to go to?
To be honest, the department Shen Zhiqiu wants to go to is definitely the Ministry of Revenue!
Because he doesn't really understand anything about mechanics, so he would be exposed once he leaves. He can't even draw a blueprint, and you still say that all those great things were made by you. Who would believe it?
But he didn't say directly that he wanted to go to the Ministry of Revenue. In fact, he didn't want to go to the Ministry of Revenue because there were too many things to do and it was troublesome.
If he had a choice, he would rather take over the position of Fang County Magistrate, or be a county magistrate himself.
So he transplanted a sprouted seed in his hand into the soil, looked up and asked his daughter: "Which department do you think I should go to?"
Shen Youyou answered without even looking up: "If you want to get promoted quickly, then go to the Ministry of Industry. I can help you get promoted quickly. If you are afraid of being exposed, then go to the Ministry of Revenue.
But the Ministry of Revenue is like that. It is difficult to get promoted and make achievements. But if it is you, it is not bad.
After all, as a successful businessman, it would be relatively easy for you to come up with a few revenue-generating projects for the court, and you could get promoted later."
Every word touched Shen Zhiqiu's heart: "Girl, I am going to the Ministry of Revenue. I can't take all the drawings home for you to draw at the Ministry of Industry, right? I think I can handle the Ministry of Revenue myself."
He also told Shen Youyou earnestly: "This ability, fake it won't be real, don't think about it with a lucky mentality,
There are some prices that we cannot afford. These blueprints of ours were made by you, and we must not let anyone except Fu Huaian know about it.
In fact, now that I let Fu Huai'an know, I already regret why I didn't keep my mouth shut at that time."
