Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 460 Establishment of Baigong Supervisor

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Pei Ju said: "His Royal Highness, but Shi Bobi has joined forces with Luo Yi to occupy You and Tan states, and they cannot be indulged."

"Pei Xiang thinks that Gu wants to continue to use Shibobi to restrain Xieli?"

"Yes, the old minister really thinks so." Pei Ju didn't deny it, but admitted it frankly.In fact, when dealing with the Turks, their usual practice is to divide and attack.

Li Zhiyun paced around for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The use of Shibobi has been proven to be a failure. Shibobi is not Xieli's opponent, and it is useless to support him. This time, we have to use another person to support him. Or, in other words, someone else tribe."

Pei Ju pondered, "Tie Le?"

The so-called Tiele is not a single tribe, but refers to Xue Yantuo, Qibi, Pugu and other tribes.In other words, Tie Le can be regarded as a parent collection, and Xue Yantuo and other departments are its subsets.

As for the Turks, they can be called the Turkic Khanate.The people who ruled Turks were mainly Turks, the Ashina family.

The practice of the former Sui Dynasty was to divide the Ashina family, but Li Zhiyun decided to change his thinking this time and directly start from the backbone of the Turks, the Tiele tribes.

"That's right, Tie Le." Li Zhiyun affirmed Pei Ju's guess.

"Who is your Highness going to support?" Pei Ju asked.

Li Zhiyun said: "It's not so much supporting someone, it's more about finding someone to cooperate with."

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"According to the news I got, Xieli returned from Bingzhou with no success. Not only did he not stop the loss and recuperate, but he intensified the plundering of Tiele's tribes. Now all the tribes in the grassland are living in misery. They are like dry firewood. As long as you throw a candle on it, the grassland will be ablaze with fire."

Pei Ju thought: "Since that's the case, Your Highness might as well unite the ministries, and no matter whether it succeeds in the end, we will let Jie Li throw the mouse."

"Ah."

After the dynasty was dispersed, Li Zhiyun received many people from Honglu Temple, and then ordered Pei Ju to give them some matters about the Turks, and then these people were broken up into pieces, either traveling with a caravan, or holding envoys, or riding alone .

Their goal is in the north.

Weihe Workshop.

When the twenty-second waterwheel stood upright, Li Zhiyun took a slight breath.When he saw the craftsmen skillfully use the pulley block to lift most of the parts of the waterwheel, he was sincerely relieved.

In addition to the Wei River, there are areas with relatively large rivers such as Laoshui, Fengshui, and Bashui, where they have begun to paint and build workshops.

As Li Zhiyun began to gain power, he no longer had to have any scruples, and directly took out the funds and let go of the construction workshop waterwheel.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, the money went through our channels, and the money from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs was not used."

Yuwen Rutong followed Li Zhiyun, carefully explaining.

Li Zhiyun said: "If you go through the imperial court channel, the imperial censor has already impeached you."

"Yes, I understand."

With regard to building a hundred craftsmen, the functions of various departments of the imperial court are intertwined with each other.

The Ministry of Industry has an overview of the decrees of all kinds of workers in the world, Tuntian, and Shanze.There are four departments, one is the Ministry of Industry, the other is the Ministry of Tuntian, the third is the Ministry of Water, and the fourth is the Ministry of Yu.In general, the Ministry of Industry has to intervene in all kinds of craftsmanship involved in the repair of city roads, garrison fields, Shanze salt ponds, horse traps, and boat bridges.

Among them, there are jobs for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, jobs for the Sinong Temple, and jobs for the Taipu Temple. In short, they are mixed.

More importantly, the Shaofu Supervisor is also in charge of various arts and crafts.

The Military Weapons Supervision, Dushui Supervision, and Jiang Zuo Supervision and other departments are actually linked to the arts and crafts.

Among them, the more obvious function is the military weapon supervisor, which is in charge of the construction of Jianu.

To understand it roughly, the Ministry of Industry has relatively broad management, while the four supervisions have relatively finer details.

Shaofu's main business is textiles, such as serving clothes for emperors, princes, and concubines.The Military Weapons Supervisor specializes in making armored crossbows.The Metropolitan Water Supervisor is responsible for managing the flow of rivers and canals in the world, and sometimes cooperates with the Si Nong Temple to instruct the people to divert water to irrigate the fields.To serve as a prison is to build palaces or government offices for the royal family.

It seems that the division of labor is clear, but the functions are actually very scattered.

About this question, Li Zhiyun asked Lao Li.Lao Li's answer is that the separation of powers is conducive to preventing the dictatorship of one person.

There seems to be nothing wrong with it.

However, Li Zhiyun wants to engage in industry, and the functions of the departments are too scattered, which is not conducive to research.

This point, he already has a plan.

"Gu plans to set up a Baigong Supervisor, which is located in the fifth prison. This prison does not care about the affairs of the court, but is only responsible to Gu. The first supervisor, Gu belongs to you. Yu Wenqing's family, what do you think?"

To put it bluntly, this Baigongjian is Li Zhiyun's personal toy.He needs to use this agency to turn his drawings into reality.

Moreover, the scope of the Baigongjian is relatively wide.

For example, soap is now produced by the Weihe Workshop, and King Changping is responsible for selling the goods, and all the money earned falls into the hands of Li Zhiyun, and does not go through the official channels of the court.

This is also the reason why Li Zhiyun brought out the list of Baigong Supervisor. He did not intend to show the soap making method and let the court produce it.

How much money this thing can make, only Li Zhiyun knows.If he wants to engage in industry, it is impossible to mobilize the court's money to do it, because the court itself is so poor that it can beg for food.

Moreover, if he included the income from soap in the income of the court, if he took money from the court in the future, the officials below would inevitably ask questions.

How does this work!
Therefore, it is impossible for him to hand over the benefits of soap to the court for the time being.

Another example is light and heavy plate armor. This item is intersected with the function of the military inspection. This can be done after the skills are mature and the production line is established, so that the military inspection can take over.

Therefore, the establishment of Baigongjian is necessary.

It can be understood that Baigongjian is similar to a research institute, but its function is different from that of a research institute.

For example, the products produced and the money earned go directly to Li Zhiyun's private treasury.

Li Zhiyun's belongs to the imperial court. After he ascends the throne, I will be the country. Could it be that he can still fill his own pockets?

The reason why he wanted to do it was purely out of trouble.

After all, if the emperor wanted to use the money from the court, he had to ask the Xiangguo and the ministers for their opinions.Sometimes, if the censor might not be able to do it, he would spray himself with large-scale construction projects.

For example, he used his own money to build the water truck this time, and did not go through the imperial court, so no officials jumped out to question it.

Using his own private treasury money to deal with all the officials of the imperial court, the censor has no excuse to complain.Moreover, if he takes money from the private treasury to support the imperial court, he can still earn a wave of fame, which is not a loss, okay?

Yuwen Rutong didn't even think about it, and said directly: "I am willing to serve His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Don't rush to agree. The supervisor of Baigong is a fourth-rank official. You can answer after thinking about it."

To put it bluntly, the Baigongjian is directly led by Li Zhiyun, and its power comes from Li Zhiyun, so it is relatively independent.The power will not be great, and the status will not be too high.

Now Yuwen Rutong is the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry. After he works for two years, at least he will be the chief supervisor of one of the four supervisors in the future.In other words, if he continues to work in the Ministry of Industry, his career path will be relatively smooth in the future.

But it would be hard to say if he was the chief supervisor of Baigong.

Yuwen Rutong understood this truth after a little thought.

So, he asked: "Dare to ask Your Highness, if I take up the post of Baigong Supervisor, can I continue to build utensils for Your Highness?"

"Of course, Gu is designed for this."

"The minister is willing." He happily agreed.

Since he started inventing and creating with Li Zhiyun, he has been out of control.Moreover, there is meat to eat with His Royal Highness the Prince!
The wages of craftsmen in Weihe Workshop are generally very high, and he, the person in charge, also gets a high bonus!
For example, soap, they are responsible for the production, and Changping Wang and others buy it at a high price and sell it, making money very easily.

This is just one of the sales routes. If merchants from the Western Regions get the goods, the price will only be high but not low!
In other words, the workshop under Li Zhiyun is not only responsible for making products, but also can control who sells them to whom and makes money.

This is very important.

King Changping, King Huaiyang, King Rencheng, and even Li Xiaogong, the king of Jing who took tea benefits, why did they support Li Zhiyun so much.

In addition to personal feelings, that is the bundle of interests!
