Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 632 Yan Yingyuan

It was getting dark, and he left Yuquan Villa, and returned to the Bingguo Gongyuan located in Yuquan Mountain. Zhao Shu just changed his official uniform, and received a request from Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Yingxiong.

He laughed at it, picked up the feather fan, and a little cool breeze made people feel comfortable.

"Why did the prince have the leisure to find me?"

Wang Yingxiong is a tall man who has been in charge of the bureaucracy for four years. He is occasionally irritable, and sometimes he doesn't even listen to the cabinet.

The key is that people's reasons are very good: what the elders say makes sense, but I really don't know how to make a choice...

Isn't it because there is no one in charge of officials in the cabinet?
Seeing him deflated today, I feel like eating watermelon in the dog days, not to mention how happy I am.

"Zhongtang, what is the organization department?"

Wang Yingxiong sat down carelessly, but a trace of melancholy appeared on his unshaven face: "Originally, the power of the official department has disappeared, and now an organization department has been added. Isn't this superfluous?"

"The division of power is different after all."

Zhao Shu suppressed his smile and said with regret: "Even the Ministry of Rites has created a Li Fan Yuan. This Organization Department only controls the officials, but it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Officials."

What this says is that if the power of personnel is not under the control of the Ministry of Officials, it will be weakened.

Wang Yingxiong's eyes seemed to be talking.

"The affairs of the Ministry of Officials are decided by His Majesty Gan Gang. If Wang Butang has any opinions, he can go to the villa..."

Zhao Shuduan is a teacup, showing a faint smile, typical of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Wang Yingxiong had no choice but to leave.

Seeing his back, Zhao Shu's eyes flickered: "Leaving aside the organization department, you've been in the official department for a long time, so it's time to move..."

The power of personnel affects the hearts of the entire Daming.

Du Yinxi, who had just taken office at the Lifan Academy, heard the name of the Organization Department and its power, and immediately felt that the Lifan Academy was not popular. .
To manage those toasts, where is the incense of human rights, even if it only involves the seventh rank or lower.

"Is there a chance? I'm afraid not."

Du Yinxi sighed, how could he go to another department just after passing through Lifan Academy?

The servants of the six departments and other civil servants also felt their fate, and they couldn't wait to see the three elders of the cabinet one by one, hoping to get a good opportunity.

A good opportunity for Du Yinxi, the Minister of Lifan Academy.

In Shuntian Mansion, Yan Yingyuan, who served as the Governor of Shuntian Mansion, stretched his trousers and went to the field in person, watching the huge water truck continuously supplying water, overjoyed:
"The Ministry of Industry has done a good thing."

In front of you, a huge wooden keel waterwheel extends directly from the river to the distance, and a large amount of river water is transported out to irrigate the fields.

Even after the crops have been harvested, the parched fields still thirst for water.

On the side, dozens of big men stomped on the river to send the river water from the low to the high. Compared with purely using human power, I don't know how much energy was saved.

"Yan Fujun, the treaded waterwheel has long been outdated."

Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, held Yidie's blueprint and said with a smile: "This is just debugging, you can just look at it next!"

As he said that, he even brought a cow and restrained him. As he walked, the keel waterwheel also started to move, and a large amount of river water rolled down.

Use livestock to come out to generate power, turn over the waterwheel, and save effort.

"This is rather strange."

Yan Yingyuan sighed, looking at the water wheel being turned by the ox, he was a little lost for a while.

"Where did this go?"

Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, smiled, put on his shoes without hesitation, and led him to another shore.

"Windmill? Giant windmill?"

"This is purely driven by the wind to drive the windmill, through a series of gears, so that the river turns over and goes ashore."

Yuanwailang said proudly: "There is no need to use any people or livestock, just put them here, as long as there is wind, there will be a steady stream of water coming ashore."

Next, Yan Yingren saw a huge windmill.

The diameter of the windmill that drives the water is only about two feet long, which is acceptable to people. It already feels huge, but compared to the windmill in front of you, it looks even slimmer.

"This windmill, just a fan blade, weighs a hundred catties. Once you get close, there will be whirring in your ears, and it will be uncomfortable to hear."

"What is such a big windmill used for?"

"The mill, the windmill."

Yuanwailang sighed: "The north is short of water, and most of them are stone mills. Now that there are more windmill mills, the grain can be ground much faster."

The husking of wheat must go through the mill, and this is also a means for local gentry to exploit ordinary people, which is too convenient.

Now, everyone is silent.

The water mill is really useful.

After leaving the water mill, looking at the wood that is gradually losing its concentration of people, I was a little on the sidelines for a while.

The formation of the waterwheel mill was definitely jaw-dropping.

The gathering of a large number of craftsmen has made more and more tools popularized, thus benefiting the country and the people.

After an unknown period of time, Yan Yingyuan drove the carriage and excitedly greeted the master craftsmen of the imperial court.

"Organization Department?" Yan Yingyuan was a little taken aback when he heard this.

A new one has been added, and he, the governor of Shuntian, is justified and can just be promoted to the organization department.

"Haven't you always tried?"

The person who sent the message waved his arms and said, "He is also a standard employee of the Sixth Ministry. As a pedal, it is really good."

"Forget it." Yan Yingyuan sighed: "Your Majesty has a lot of control over the north, everything is in his heart, don't force it."

"Instead of spending a lot of money pursuing these things, it's better to get more water mills and water trucks. They can deliver water very quickly."

After saying that, Yan Yingren got busy and didn't care about the organization department anymore.

It's a pity that an imperial decree came from Yuquan Mountain and came straight to it.

"Your Majesty summoned?"

Shocked, Yan Yingyuan couldn't wait to come to Yuquan Mountain to accept the emperor's summons.

After waiting for a long time, Yan Yingyuan saw the emperor. He knelt down and said:

"Chen, Yan Yingyuan, Yin of Shuntian Mansion, greets His Majesty—"

"Get up!"

The emperor glanced at the dark-faced Yan Yingyuan, and said, "I heard that you have been working closely with people from the Ministry of Industry recently?"

"The Ministry of Industry has newly made a windmill mill, which can grind wheat and shell it by relying on the wind alone, which saves a lot of manpower..."

"In addition, it is difficult to get water in the capital, and the water in the rivers is heavy and salty. I inspected it and found that I can get water in the area of ​​Beisun River. It is very clean and the taste is not bitter..."

Yan Yingyuan reported his work in an orderly manner, highlighting his ability.

"Shuntian Mansion has recently increased its registered permanent residence, and its fields have also increased a lot. You, the Governor of Shuntian Mansion, have made meritorious service."

The emperor looked at him appreciatively. He really deserved to be an official, and he had done a lot.

As the land of Gyeonggi, Shuntian Prefecture Yin has always been highly allocated, and he is a third-rank official.

That is to say, if it is promoted two more levels, it will be a Shangshu of Zheng Erpin.

Leapfrog promotion is also normal.
