I studied in modern times

Chapter 162 Reminding Shen Kuo
Jinchengfang, the west wing of Bianjing New City, is not only the official office of the East Dyeing Institute, but also the official office of the Bureau of Armament Manufacturing.

As an institution directly controlled by the emperor, the Bureau dedicated to the manufacture of military weapons is one of the few institutions that does not have civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats.

Shen Kuo was the first scholar-bureaucrat who was promoted by a civil servant to focus on manufacturing military bureaus.

Before him, they were all ministers and leaders.

Most of the bureaucrats who specialize in the manufacture of military weapons are trick officials transferred from the military bureau and Jiantiansi.

The Emperor Daxing divided it into three divisions.

Firearms Division, Horse Cutting Sword Division, God Arm Bow Division.

They are responsible for the production of firearms, sabers, and bows.

In addition to firearms, there are also mass-produced sabers, god-arm bows, and weapons inspectors.

Therefore, they basically copied the military weapons supervision system.

Only this firearm is produced and manufactured, because there was no special responsible organization in the past, and few people understand firearms, and the manufacturing process and formula of firearms are very cumbersome.

After Shen Kuo took office, he also focused on the firearms department according to the instructions of the young master.

Now he himself is directly in charge of the Firearms Division.

Therefore, Shen Kuo arranged most of the ministers sent by the emperor to the Firearms Department.

Let them take charge of all the official duties of the Firearms Division.

As for how much you can learn?Can you do meritorious service?It depends on the fortune of these courtiers.

He himself now focuses on movable type.

Because Shen Kuo knew that it might be the fastest thing to achieve results.

He didn't dare to procrastinate!

During the Xining and Yuanfeng eras, the courtiers were a bit slower in doing things.

What awaits him may be the end of idleness.

Because, Emperor Daxing only likes ministers who can make outstanding achievements in a short period of time.

He will only promote these ministers!

So, Shen Kuo left the official office of the Military Weapons Manufacturing Bureau, and went straight to a remodeled workshop next to the East Dyeing Institute.

Here, he has gathered dozens of skilled craftsmen, using the method he used in the Xining era when he reformed the method of making the god arm bow in the military department.

Repeat the test a lot in the short term!

Find the cause, find the problem, and fix it right there!

……

Today, nothing happened.

Even the two palaces had a rare free time to play in the imperial garden.

Naturally, Zhao Xu also played with him for most of the day.

Then, Zhao Xu accompanied the two palaces to see the Qingshou Palace, which was being renovated and renovated.

This is the real residence of the Empress Dowager.

When the Empress Dowager moves here, Baoci Palace will become the residence of the Empress Dowager Xiang.

This is also the tradition of the Song Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager lives in the Qingshou Palace, and the Empress Dowager lives in the Baoci Palace.

And the person responsible for rebuilding the Qingshou Palace for the Empress Dowager was naturally Zhang Maoze, the most trusted elder brother of the Empress Dowager.

Looking at the craftsmen who were busy in the Qingshou Palace under Zhang Maoze's command.

Zhao Xu smiled.

Because he found a way to get rid of the poisonous dust in Funing Hall.

That is to let Song Yongchen be responsible for rebuilding Baoci Palace in the future.

Then, what materials are used in Baoci Palace, isn't he the one who has the final say?

And then... the Son of Heaven dutifully filial to the Empress Dowager, it is logical to serve the left and right.

In this way, he only needs to go back to Funing Hall at night.

The time of exposure to toxic dust is directly halved!

Three years later, after the filial piety period, he should be able to control the power of the entire Ouchi.

In this way, there will be no obstacles to rebuilding the Funing Hall.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu smiled brighter.

This made the Empress Dowager look very pleased, and said to the Empress Dowager: "The officials are really benevolent and filial..."

"Even the place where the old man lives, I personally inspect it..."

In her understanding, Zhao Xu kept smiling because he saw Zhang Mao was diligent, so Longyan was very happy!

Looking at the Empress Dowager, he naturally followed the Empress Dowager's wishes and said, "That's not it!"

"The bride has heard that everyone in Bianjing is envious of the empress!"

"It is said that the empress is the most blessed mother in my dynasty!"

"Officials are filial, sensible, smart, and friendly to relatives and clan..."

The empress dowager smiled brightly.

She likes to hear such words, especially these words are said to the Queen Mother herself.

……

When Zhao Xu returned to Funing Palace, it was already Youshi.

The afterglow of the setting sun at dusk stains the steps in front of Funing Hall.

Feng Jing, who had been waiting in front of the hall, immediately led people and surrounded Zhao Xu into the hall.

"Everyone..." Feng Jing reported while walking: "Song Zhao declared: the selected ministers have been placed in various positions in the Firearms Department for Shen Tiju today..."

Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "What has Shen Kuo been up to lately?"

"It seems that Shen Tiju intends to focus all his energy on the movable type first..."

"Oh!" Zhao Xu nodded, this is not surprising.

After all, movable type is relatively easy to break through, and for literati and doctors, it is more fulfilling!

only……

Zhao Xu frowned slightly: "Didn't Shen Kuo hear about Han Wei asking for a money ban yesterday?"

Feng Jing blinked, looking at the young master who only reached his stomach.

"What do you mean?" he confirmed.

Zhao Xu didn't want to play charades either, so he directly said to Feng Jing, "Send someone to talk to Shen Kuo about this!"

Feng Jing lowered his head, bowed and said, "I know!"

The young master seldom gives such direct instructions in front of him, so this matter is very important!

Then I heard the young master say again: "Go to Chongwen Academy again, find a few books, and give them to Shen Tiju..."

"Let him take a good look!"

"Don't let me down!"

Feng Jing quickly asked: "Dare to ask everyone, which ones are they?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Han, Huainan King Liu Anzhi's "Huainan Wanbi Book"..."

Feng Jing quickly wrote it down.

"Eastern Jin Ge Hong's "Baopuzi"..."

"Remember to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau, ask the imperial physician for a copy of "Shen Nong Baicao Jing" and send it along!"

It's all for the sake of reminding that if Shen Kuo doesn't know, what is Zhao Xu hinting at.

Then he can kill himself with a piece of tofu!
……

Feng Jing's action was very fast. He immediately ordered people to find all the relevant books, and then he went out of the palace himself and delivered them to Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo looked at the courtier next to the emperor, and sent three seemingly out-of-the-box books to him, but he still looked confused.

Until, he heard the instructions from the emperor from Feng Jing: "Everyone asks: Does Shen Tiju know the request for the money ban at the resignation of Mr. Han yesterday?"

"So everyone ordered me to tell Shen Tiju about this..."

"Also order me to deliver these three books to Tiju..."

Shen Kuo listened and swallowed, he felt as if he understood something.

Money ban?

He looked at the three books in front of him.

He remembered!He remembered!
Courage!

Correct!
When he was young, he read a book.

In Taizong's "Taiping Huanyu Ji", he also heard that people from Xinzhou used gall water to practice copper at the foot of the mountain!

He always thought it was a legend, probably unbelievable.

But now... the young master specifically mentioned the money ban.

Three different books were also specially sent, and these books, Shen Kuo knew, had only one thing in common-they all recorded that gallbladder can change copper!
