Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 382 Starting to Consider the Layout of Six Parts
After watching coke ironmaking, Li Zhiyun went to inspect the cement area.The main materials of cement such as limestone, clay, water, iron ore, coal, etc., Li Zhiyun has already told Yuwen Rutong, and basically told him the process of making.

The good news is that the progress of cement is not bad. The craftsmen have thoroughly understood the technology, and mass production is no longer a dream.

With cement, he will be able to produce concrete in the future.

Add red brick clay, stir yellow sand, and the tall buildings will be just around the corner.

After looking around, Li Zhiyun affirmed Yuwen Rutong's performance on cement and instructed them to start experimenting with concrete.

Every time he thinks of concrete, Li Zhiyun thinks of steel bars.

It's a pity that this thing is not so easy to make, and it will take a lot of effort to get it out with the current conditions.

Forget it, let's figure out the ratio of concrete materials first, so that you can't chew too much.

Free up your hands in the future, use reinforced concrete, and directly build ships and houses.

After a while, Li Zhiyun sighed silently as he watched Yuwen Rutong bring the experimental materials that the craftsmen were humming.

He was also going to take out the drawing of the spinning jenny today, so he decided to forget it.He has already worked out the shuttle and spindles of the spinning machine.

According to the minds of these people, the spinning machine is probably no problem for them, but the hydraulic spinning machine behind, the mule machine, may be more difficult.

Li Zhiyun also wants to return to his old career, but the problem is that he may not have much time in the past two years.

Immediately, he went to the soap area, the fried tea area, and the sugar area.Generally speaking, it is acceptable, and it is not too far behind.The only dissatisfaction is the water power problem. After all, the water power of the Weihe River fluctuates from time to time, which is beyond his control.

Before the steam engine appeared, hydraulic power was his best choice, and he was not qualified to pick and choose.

Li Zhiyun also silently put away a set of mechanical drawings for the lifting pulley block. At present, these people's IQ is not enough to understand this set of techniques, so he needs to teach them by hand.

In addition, thinking of glass, tiles, drying salt, and rice paper, Li Zhiyun was depressed again.There are obviously a lot of ways to make money, but they cannot be implemented immediately.

It's so frustrating.

Sure enough, a man cannot be powerless for a day.

If he is the emperor, he doesn't need to worry about being targeted by the aristocratic family after the product goes out, let alone worry about someone making trouble for him.

As for technical secrecy.

Hehe, do you dare to touch the emperor's things?
Stealing is fine, just catch it and beat it to death.

If he were the emperor, who would dare to share profits with the emperor in the coal mines in Hedong Road, the iron mines in Hebei Road, the kerosene in Bashu, or even the oil in Liaodong and the silver mine in Lingwu?
Unfortunately, he is not yet the emperor.

Sure enough, the core of all problems was what he was doing.

Gan!
After inspecting the Weihe workshop, Li Zhiyun returned to the mansion and sealed the drawings again.

Although it is a pity, it is also a helpless move.In terms of technology, he has tried to simplify it as much as possible, but in the eyes of craftsmen of this era, every technology Li Zhiyun has produced is comparable to "creating something out of nothing".

Similar to building a building, Li Zhiyun proposed to build a ninety-nine-story century-high building without a good foundation.

This is undoubtedly a difficult project.

In the past few days, Li Zhiyun had a rare leisure time.In fact, it's not considered idle. It can only be said that he is relatively idle now compared to when he was on the expedition.He has benefited a lot from dealing with the government affairs with the six prime ministers every day in the political affairs hall, and his relationship with Pei Ju and Chen Shuda has also improved by leaps and bounds.

With the further deepening of government affairs, Li Zhiyun also began to consider the layout of the six departments.

Dugu Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, belongs to him now and does not need to move. Minister of the Ministry of War Zhao Cijing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Warrior Xun, these two belong to Lao Li and cannot be moved.

The remaining Dou Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Li Gang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Huangfu Wuyi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, belong to the one that can be handled.

He invited Du Ruhui, Xue Shou, Xue Yuanjing, and Wei Zheng to discuss.

"Your Highness, I think that if you want to arrange six parts, Your Highness must first think about who to replace, otherwise the layout is not good, and you will end up marrying someone else." Wei Zheng said.

Li Zhiyun nodded and said: "Actually, what I want to move the most is the Ministry of Industry. Unlike the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Industry is not valued by the emperor, and Yang Shigui, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, is the ancestor of my king. Yang Shigui can take over. It’s just that you also know that the warrior Xun is a congregation of the Jinyang Yuan, a confidant of the father and the emperor, so he can’t act arbitrarily. Moreover, Yang Gongren has already become the Minister of State Affairs, if Yang Shigui becomes the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, I’m afraid the government and the public will criticize him.”

Du Ruhui said: "Actually, what Your Highness said is correct, among the six departments, the Ministry of Industry is the best to attack, and the samurai's background is not clean, we have also checked all kinds of things over the years, and we are confident that we can pull him down.

It's just that on the side of the saint, we still have a hard time grasping his attitude. "

Xue Shou said: "I think it's meaningless to take down the Ministry of Industry. The samurai has been trusted by saints these years, but that's all, and he hasn't made much achievements in government. According to Yichen, what we want to take down should be the Ministry of Punishment or the Ministry of Justice. Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Zheng Shanguo, Minister of Dali Temple, belongs to the prince. If he can take down the Ministry of Punishment, he will be able to suppress Zheng Shanguo.If you can win the Minbu, you can break Dou's arm and reduce Dou's weight in the court.

Recently, the Dou family and Donggong are getting closer and closer, and this time is just the right time to start. "

Wei Zheng asked: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment, do you have someone to replace them?"

"Not yet." Xue Shou said, "However, I have heard of one thing, that Minister of Punishment Huangfu Wuyi and Minister of Civil Affairs Dou Jing have disagreements, maybe we can take advantage of one or two."

"Why do they disagree?" Li Zhiyun asked curiously.

Xue Shou explained: "Since His Royal Highness has been in charge of Jing Zhaoyin, Chang'an has been governed in an orderly manner. The green skin of the market and the dark market of Heifang have been severely suppressed. Some of them are detained in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. According to my understanding, this Many of them are merchants of the Dou clan, and Dou Jing had negotiated with Huangfu Wuyi, hoping that he would be lenient. But Huangfu Wuyi sternly refused, and did not agree, and the conflict came from this."

"So that's how it is." Li Zhiyun rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "From this point of view, this Huangfu Wuyi is still a loyal minister."

"That's true." Wei Zheng said: "I have heard that Huangfu Xiren, brother of Huangfu Wuyi's clan, is a rascal. He often uses the banner of Huangfu Wuyi to do misdemeanors, extremely sinister, but Huangfu Wuyi never lets go , instead discuss the matter as it stands and deal with it in accordance with the law."

"You say that, but this king feels that he can't do anything to Huangfu Wuyi."

"However, we can use this to attack Dou Jing." Xue Yuanjing suggested.

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "If you can take advantage of this to get rid of Dou Jing, then the position of Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be vacant. Now that the crown prince is banned from the East Palace and cannot interfere with the affairs of the court, His Highness may be able to use it."

"Where is the candidate?" Li Zhiyun asked.

"How about Wen Daya?" Du Ruhui asked.

Li Zhiyun said: "In terms of qualifications and abilities, Wen Daya is enough, but if this king recommends Wen Daya, is the purpose too obvious?"

After finishing speaking, Li Zhiyun suddenly laughed at himself, "It's because I was thinking too much, Father should really want to see my recommender now."

I think he used to hang out in the sixth part for a while, and then he went out to fight, and the position was returned to Lao Li.

Otherwise, this time he can fight for himself.

Xue Yuanjing said: "In fact, even if it is not our person who wins the position of Shangshu in the end, it will not hurt. We must not let the Dou family continue to get close to the East Palace, otherwise Dou Kang and Dou Jing will fully support the prince when the time comes, and the threat is not good for us. Small."

"That's right, that's true." Xue Shou said.
