The ministers of infrastructure knelt down and begged the scientific research boss to be enthroned

Chapter 142 Technology Development Bureau (2)

"What is the [Technology Development Bureau]?" Emperor Showa asked puzzled.

Wei Chenrui explained: "As the name suggests, it is to develop various technologies, such as the improved pen, ink, paper and inkstone researched by Erchen, the shockproof carriage, the pressurized water well, and the electric fan, as well as the clay bricks and tiles, all of which are technologies."

"During this journey, I feel that my personal strength is still limited. I can't take care of all aspects, and some things take too long to rely on me alone. Therefore, I need helpers. Let's study together to create more device technologies that benefit the country and the people."

Emperor Zhaohe frowned, very puzzled: "Isn't this something done by the Ministry of Industry? Why open another one?"

Wei Chenrui smiled and shook his head: "It sounds the same at first glance, but has the Ministry of Industry researched anything decent in these years?"

The Emperor Zhaohe had nothing to say. In recent years, the Ministry of Industry has indeed not made much achievements, so it just sticks to the original things and lives on its laurels.

Understanding is understanding, Emperor Showa still doesn't want to compromise on this: "Even so, there is no need to open another one, just recruit people directly to the Ministry of Industry?"

Wei Chenrui still shook his head: "I have gone to the Ministry of Industry a lot, and I know the situation in the Ministry of Industry very well. There are naturally capable people, but they are basically in a state of being suppressed. They are afraid that the younger generation will be better than themselves. Take your place away."

The six ministries have a long history, and each of them performs their duties. It is still necessary to be cautious when adding a department suddenly. Emperor Zhaohe couldn't make a decision immediately, so he said: "This is a very important matter. Tomorrow morning, let's listen to the opinions of the ministers!"

Wei Chenrui didn't force it, but nodded in agreement.

She hadn't planned to succeed at first, and she was ready with both hands. If this department could not be established, then the [Technology Development Bureau] would be established as a private department.

With their own backing, few people dare to reach out to them, so they will have a safe research environment, and they can research a few things that are beneficial to the people, which is enough for the big guys to live a good life.

As a senior scientific researcher, Wei Chenrui has a deep understanding of that.It doesn't matter what the ministers' opinions are.

The next morning, when Wei Chenrui saw the ministers arguing endlessly, he didn't even blink his eyelids.

[Technology Development Bureau] seriously threatened the interests of the Ministry of Industry. This time, the people from the Ministry of Industry did not stand by Wei Chenrui. The opposition was particularly fierce, and some even blamed Wei Chenrui, the proposer.

"His Royal Highness, did you bring up this Rao Shizi [Technology Development Bureau] because you want to play against the Ministry of Industry?"

"Our Ministry of Industry has always supported you. If you do this, aren't you afraid that everyone's hearts will be chilled?"

Wei Chenrui curled his lips, he didn't care much, it was not profitable to support himself, and the electric fan made the Ministry of Industry a lot of money.

But he said: "That's true, so I won't open this department. I will form a private research team by myself, and the name will be [Technology Development Team]."

The officials who have tasted the sweetness of the electric fan all said that they still have a few skilled craftsmen on their side, who can contribute to Wei Chenrui's [Technology Development Team], and they only hope that after the things are researched, they can Take a share.

Everyone can see Wei Chenrui's research ability, so there is no need to worry about nothing coming out. Once something comes out, everyone rushes to buy it, and it will definitely make money.

The Ministry of Industry is a little flustered now. According to Her Majesty's temper, the things that will be researched in the future may not have the Ministry of Industry's share. Turn off the fire completely and stop shouting.

Seeing that more and more officials joined, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry couldn't help it: "Your Highness, Wei Weichen agreed to establish the [Technology Development Bureau], but this development bureau must belong to the Ministry of Industry!"

This is to reap all the benefits into his arms, not to mention Wei Chenrui, even those ministers who want to share a piece of the pie, will not agree to speak out and ridicule the Minister of Industry.

"Didn't you still firmly disagree just now? It took a while before you changed your mind. This is changing your face faster than changing the sky!"

"I'm afraid I don't want us to take advantage of it, so I want to swallow all the benefits! One can imagine how much money has been swallowed over the years."

This pot is going to be big, and Yin Hongtu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, dare not recite it, and hurriedly said: "Master Liu, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Do you have a basis for saying this?"

Of course, this is guesswork, and there is no substantive evidence. Yin Hongtu called Master Liu, so he shut up and hid aside.

The others were also afraid of saying the wrong thing, so they forced Yin Hongtu into a hurry, so they had to remain silent.

Who can have no clues, if he is caught out here, it will not end well.

Not long after, the bustling court hall quieted down, and Wei Chenrui knew it was time to speak.

Standing up straight, he said with a blank expression: "Let the [Technology Development Bureau] be subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, so whether the big or small things in this bureau are subject to you, or to the person in charge of the bureau?"

Wei Chenrui didn't say that since he became the head of the [Technology Development Bureau], he didn't count himself in it, and took the opportunity to dig a hole for him.

Yin Hongtu didn't know that Wei Chenrui was digging a hole, he just thought that she didn't intend to be tough with him, but deliberately made a concession, and stroked his beard in satisfaction: "Of course I listen to the minister, and the minister is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. This [Technical Development Bureau] belongs to the Ministry of Industry, so it should obey the ministers."

Wei Chenrui nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, Mr. Yin Shangshu has a good plan."

Now the courtiers could all hear Wei Chenrui's meaning, this is dissatisfaction, and their minds became active again.

"Master Yin Shangshu really knows how to settle accounts. This [Technology Development Bureau] was proposed by His Highness, and the person in charge must be His Highness. You just let His Highness obey your orders with such a lip service, which is terrible!"

Wei Chenrui still cared about the old feelings, and didn't make Yin Hongtu look too ugly, and stopped the ministers from ridiculing him: "Master Yin, if you are very capable, there is nothing wrong with this hall listening to you."

"However, the reality is true. Your ability is not strong enough. You can keep your achievements and develop insufficiently. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to open up a new department."

"You know what's going on inside the Ministry of Industry, and so do I. It's impossible for me to agree to let the [Technical Development Bureau] belong to the Ministry of Industry."

When it comes to this point, if Yin Hongtu still doesn't compromise, he will be a little ignorant. Although he is very unwilling, he didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Emperor Showa asked again: "Do you have any objections to the establishment of a separate [Technology Development Bureau] proposed by Her Majesty the Empress Dowager?"

There was a loud voice from below: "I have no objection!"

[Technology Development Bureau] This is officially approved, and we just need to wait for Wei Chenrui to find the location of the yamen and call the staff.
