Chapter 531 Take it back

Jin Rong also said frankly, "Father, no matter how exquisite these things are, they are just a business. The emperor's doing these things is the result of investing a lot of manpower and material resources. This business was started at that time. At that time, there was not enough money, so we pooled up the money of the three families to start this matter, and it was a business of the three families."

Jin Rong raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, seeing the emperor looked at him with a half-smile, as if waiting for him to continue editing, he couldn't help but grimaced, and said: "Father, the construction of the track always requires the purchase of materials, even if the bolts are The workpieces made by the emperor also have cost. The son can only promise to the emperor that as long as the court needs to build the track, all the threaded workpieces in the mechanical workshop will be sold to the Ministry of Industry."

After hearing what he said, the emperor laughed and reprimanded him: "Look at how promising you are, you just asked one more question, and you made such a big deal. The imperial court is in charge of the world's projects, so don't you still care about your little money?" ?”

Jin Rong called Qu and said, "It's not easy for me to do this. I searched almost all the craftsmen I knew before, and it cost a lot of money. You have to ask me to make up for the capital, right?"

"Look, the more you talk about it, the less promising you are." The emperor ignored Jin Rong and turned to Wang Xian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, "Wang Aiqing take back these ten sets of workpieces and let the fortification workers do the math to see how much they need. Such a workpiece. By the way, let Fu Wang know about the threaded connection."

Wang Xian seemed to think for a moment, took a peek at Jin Rong, and then said, "Report to Your Majesty, this..." Wang Xian took another peek at Jin Rong, looking a little embarrassed.

The emperor frowned, and asked: "Wang Aiqing thinks something is wrong, if you have doubts, feel free to speak up. King Yu is also a minister of the court, and it is his duty to worry about the world, so you don't have to worry about him." As an emperor However, if the things his son made were really useful, he would not hesitate to give his son an extra income.But if the son does something that harms the court and the world, then it is wrong.

Wang Xian quickly replied: "No, there is nothing wrong with it. I just think that the track project costs a lot, and Qingyuan County is located in a remote place, so it is impossible to have many craftsmen. Not for our use."

The emperor thought about it for a moment, and it was the same thing, and asked, "What does Wang Aiqing mean?"

Wang Xian thought about King Fu, the track project that they and King Fu were planning to prepare, and then thought that His Royal Highness King Yu is an idle prince after all, and he will never be in power no matter now or in the future.

He finally gritted his teeth, bowed and said: "There are many craftsmen in charge of the Ministry of Industry. I think that if these fasteners are processed by the Ministry of Industry, they may be used for rail transportation projects."

When Cheng Dahui heard it, he sighed, although Wang Shangshu was attached to King Fu, but this courage...is really big enough, this is to bite off a piece of meat from His Royal Highness King Yu.

The emperor didn't think that Wang Xian was biting off the flesh from his son, but he also thought that if this proposal was implemented, it seemed that his son's money-making business would not be safe.He glanced at Jin Rong, and sure enough, he saw Jin Rong's face darken.

The emperor coughed lightly, and said, "From what Cheng Dahui said just now, it seems that this kind of workpiece is not easy to make."

Wang Xian didn't dare to look at Jin Rong, but asked Cheng Dahui: "Master Cheng is an expert, what is the difficulty of making this kind of workpiece?"

Cheng Dahui secretly scolded Wang Xian for involving him, but he didn't dare not answer, "Master Wang, to achieve such consistent specifications, there should be special equipment. As far as I know, so far, no one has been able to make such a regular arrangement." An instrument for making threads."

Wang Xian bowed his hands to Jin Rong apologetically, and said, "This minister is also wholeheartedly for the court, and I hope His Royal Highness King Yu will forgive me a little bit."

Jin Rong remained silent, but his heart settled down, and everything went according to plan.

The workshop in Qinghe Village really can't make so many things. In order to complete the track project earlier, the lathes for processing threads are naturally handed over to the Ministry of Industry, and it is best to let the Ministry of Industry arrange processing.If Fu Wang stopped all the lathe and processing matters in his own hands, I'm afraid there will be more greed for ink and silver.

It is clear at a glance that the silver taels earned by giving up a batch of workpieces can benefit the construction, and can also gather more materials for King Fu to bring him down.

Wang Xian expressed his apology to Jin Rong, but it did not prevent him from continuing to work for the King of Fu: "Your Majesty, I think that the Ministry of Industry has many craftsmen who can use it. It is better for the imperial court to invest in buying the equipment for making threaded fasteners and let the Ministry of Industry Organize the processing of fasteners for use in track engineering."

After Wang Xian finished speaking, he added, "Of course, this needs to be discussed with everyone to see if the thread is really necessary."

Although the emperor knew that his son's great business of making money was in trouble, it was obvious that Wang Xian's suggestion was more beneficial to the court.

He looked at Jin Rong who was sullen and silent, and said, "Jin Rong, it is a matter of benefiting the country and the people to make the track construction smooth and complete sooner. I heard what you said just now, the tools for processing threaded fasteners It must be very delicate. Let the Ministry of Works make a good deal, give you a fair price, and hand over the tools you use to the Ministry of Works?"

Jin Rong looked gloomy, stared at Wang Xian gloomyly, and said to the emperor: "Since father and emperor said so, I must not do things that are not good for the court. I will send a letter and let someone turn the lathe The blueprints were sent into the city."

When Cheng Dahui heard that the tool had a different name, he ignored the etiquette and immediately asked, "Your Highness, is that processing tool called a lathe? It's very big?"

Jin Rong looked worried, but he still said, "It's quite big, about seven or eight feet long, so craftsmen call it a lathe."

When Wang Xian heard about such a large appliance, he felt a little confused, and quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I have never heard of this kind of appliance. Your Royal Highness, I am afraid that our people will not be able to operate it just because of the blueprints. Can Your Highness send some craftsmen and stewards who are in charge of thread making?"

Jin Rong frowned, and sent his own people over?

But when he thought of Ye Xinyan again, he couldn't help feeling hot.It would be a good thing if he could take this opportunity to pick up the leaves.He knew from the correspondence that the matter in Ye Zi's hands was almost arranged, all the materials, drawings, and construction documents were in place, and the manpower was also arranged properly. He would send a few capable stewards to accept it, and it should not delay the matter. .

The emperor was surprised, he actually saw looseness on Jin Rong's face, it seemed that sending someone to Beijing could relieve the suffocation that took away his business.But it was not obvious on the surface, and Wang Xian was only arranged to find relevant people to confirm whether the bolts should be used.

Then he said: "Okay, let's go to work. Jin Rong stays here, and I have a few words to say to you."

　Thank you Angel Lin for your reward.

　　I've been busy these days, and Cavin, I'm really sorry.

　　In the afternoon chapter, try to keep it on time.
