I studied in modern times

Chapter 165 Chapter Dun: Is there really someone who can know it from birth?
The Empress Dowager in the Baoci Palace, after listening to the description to the Empress Dowager and reading Shen Kuo's memorial, also became happy, and said: "This minister, the Emperor Daxing really chose him very well!"

A minister who doesn't take credit is very much to her liking.

And she and Queen Mother Xiang had just taken charge of the government, and they had such a political achievement, which made her very happy!
It should be noted that this is a political achievement under her rule!
No matter what later generations say, this credit is all related to her!
It's all thanks to her, the Empress Dowager!

However, she still kept an eye out, and said to the Queen Mother: "This matter should be paid to Yousi, and ordered to be verified by Yousi!"

"If that's the case..." The Empress Dowager smiled: "God bless our dynasty! God bless the country!"

He nodded to the Queen Mother and said, "What Your Majesty said is true!"

……

Zhang Dun took a sip of the fine wine he had just ordered from Li Qingchen!

At Li Qingchen's house, there is a master brewer!
The Yuye wine brewed is not even comparable to the master brewer in Yuxianzheng shop.

Therefore, Zhang Dun will always go to fight the autumn wind every now and then.

With the wine in his throat, Zhang Dun slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Provincial...Provincial..." An old official's voice came from outside the door.

Zhang Dun opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The two palaces issued a decree..." The old official replied at the door: "Please send someone from the Dutang to the dedicated military manufacturing bureau to have a look..."

Zhang Dun got up immediately, and said to the man, "Bring the will and show it to me!"

Zhang Zihou is on duty in the East Mansion today, and Han Jiang, the Minister of the Right, is Xiumu today. The Minister of Zhongshu, Zhang Yu, was ordered by Han Jiang to visit the counties and townships below Kaifeng Mansion to collect opinions from the local elders and scholar-bureaucrats on the labor law. .

As for Li Qingchen?
These days, he is busy dealing with a mess left by Emperor Daxing - the expansion project of Bianjing city.

How to deal with the tens of thousands of hired laborers and those unfinished projects?How to deal with it?
These things are troublesome and trivial.

There must be a ruler who handles it himself, so as to avoid being stabbed out of the basket by the people below.

Zhang Dun and the others are very clear that now it seems that the veterans of the old party seem to have died down except for one Sima Guang.

But who knows, are they dormant, waiting for an opportunity or secretly harboring ulterior motives?
Therefore, you must never leave a handle on others!

Especially in the Gyeonggi area, you should be more cautious!

Soon, Zhang Dun got the will from the imperial pen of the two palaces.

After Zhang Dun finished reading, his eyes flashed with brilliance.

After thinking about it, he picked up his pen and began to report.

He, Zhang Zihou, will take over this task in person, and go to the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau to take a look in person!
"Brave to refine copper?" Zhang Dun smiled: "This is something Shen Cunzhong can do!"

Among the ministers who rose up after the Xining reform, Lu Huiqing was the toughest, Zeng Bu was the smoothest, and Li Qingchen was the gentlest...

And Shen Kuo Shen Cunzhong...

What he is best at is these weird things!

Zhang Dun remembers that when Shen Kuo knew Yanzhou, he went to see a local "oil" in Yanzhou that emerged from underground stones. He also named this oil "petroleum" and used this oil to After being ignited, a lot of ink ingots were made, and the ink ingots were given an elegant name 'Yanchuan Stone Liquid', and a batch was sent to the ministers of the ruling and opposition parties.

Zhang Dun also received several pieces, and the effect was good after the trial!

However, if Shen Cunzhong knew the method of smelting copper with gall water, Xining and Yuanfeng would have given it to the court in exchange for credit.

Unless, Shen Cunzhong knew about this method when he was in Suizhou.

Therefore, Zhang Dun is very curious now-whether Shen Kuo knew about it in Suizhou, or only after he arrived in Bianjing.

If the former, count him lucky.

If the latter...

Zhang Dun licked his tongue, he remembered Confucius' words.

Those who are born with knowledge are the best, and those who learn are second, and those who are well-read and knowledgeable are second!
Only a sage can know it from birth!
……

Zhang Dun's request was quickly approved without any surprise.

With the approval of the two palaces, Zhang Dun handed over Dutang's errand to Han Zhongyan, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who was on duty in the sixth department, and asked him to help take care of Dutang's affairs.

He rode directly on his horse, took seven or eight yuan with him, and left the capital hall.

It is now approaching midsummer in June, and the temperature in Bianjing is getting higher and higher.

Especially during the daytime, when the sun is dazzling, there are hardly any pedestrians on the street.

Only the Taiping carts, pulled by seven or eight horses, slowly ran over the street.

With the rush to buy the embankment, the business of the market was abandoned.

The commercial atmosphere and commodity economy in Bianjing City are obviously more prosperous and prosperous than in the past.

But Zhang Dun knew that most of the benefits of all these eventually fell into the hands of those big merchants and the clan and relatives standing behind these big merchants.

The lives of ordinary people, those small businessmen and hawkers, may not be better than when the Market Change Law was implemented.

It might even be worse!
At the very least, when Shiyiwu is here, the prices are decided by Shiyiwu.

Now that there is no market transaction, the price is determined by the major guilds in Bianjing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dun let out a sigh of relief.

He knew that the current situation was already the best!
During the period when Emperor Daxing was seriously ill and in the half month after his death, in Bianjing and Luoyang, they were all talking about 'putting an end to Wang Anshi's evil methods' and 'returning the world to peace'!
At that time, Zhang Zihou was already ready to be demoted from Beijing!
How can it be as easy and freehand as it is now?
……

Half an hour later, Zhang Dun arrived in front of the official office of the Specialized Armament Manufacturing Bureau in Jinchengfang.

This is the first time he has come to this mysterious Daxing Emperor's official office.

He got off his horse in front of the official office and handed in the post.

After a while, Zhang Dun saw Shen Kuo's familiar face.

"I have seen the provincial assistant!" Shen Kuo greeted him with a smile and bowed his hands.

"Brother Cunzhong, you don't need to be too polite!" Zhang Dun also laughed, and bowed back, saying: "I am following the benevolent decree of the two palaces today. Mystery'..."

Zhang Dun cut to the point and said what he wanted directly.

It's also a test!

Therefore, without waiting for Shen Kuo to answer, Zhang Dun cupped his hands and smiled congratulating him again: "Brother Cunzhong is really a good trick!"

"Having been in office for less than a month, he has already made such great contributions to the community and the country!"

How dare Shen Kuo admit this?
Immediately bowed: "Shen Zuo...be careful! Be careful!"

"The subordinate officer is only following orders in this matter..."

Zhang Dun's face immediately became serious, and he looked at Shen Kuo: "Brother Cunzhong, don't resign modestly..."

Shen Kuo cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare! Don't dare!"

Looking at Shen Kuo's appearance, Zhang Dun suddenly took a step forward and asked, "Brother Cunzhong...you really got the advice from the young master's secret edict?"

Shen Kuo swallowed his saliva, and he could only say: "The son of heaven is smart and holy, he taught his officials with the righteousness of a saint, and personally bestowed ancient records on his officials..."

Zhang Dun understands!

Sure enough!
He took a deep breath!
This is the most direct and important evidence he has found so far!
The young master really has his own ideas!

Moreover, he is really doing something quietly!
Although Zhang Dun had known for a long time that such a result would happen, the moment the truth was revealed.

He is still shocked!
The young master is only a little more than eight years old, even if you count the false age for the outside world, he is only ten years old!

How did he possess such a city, mind and wrist?
Is there really someone born to know it?
Zhang Dun then lowered his voice, and said to Shen Kuo: "Brother Cunzhong, this is not a place to talk..."

"Please change to a secluded place..."

"Tell me about this matter in detail..."

Shen Kuo had already had this idea.

Because Shen Kuo knew that one person is not enough to prosper the Dao.

Must pull people, pull like-minded people!

Now, the only ones he can pull in are those who have similar positions and ambitions to govern.

……

Two hours later, when night fell, Zhang Dun rode his horse and left the official office dedicated to the manufacture of military weapons.

His mind was buzzing.

"Looking at things to know!" The four words were rampant inside.

Get him excited, excited, and eager to try!
Also call him fear, restlessness and surprise.

Because, Zhang Dun remembered an old saying: Companion to the king is like companion to the tiger!
An ordinary king is still a man-eating tiger to his ministers.

An emperor who possessed the wrists of an adult at the age of eight and knew how to restrain himself and disguise himself.

How terrible will he be when he grows up? !

However, Zhang Dun knew that he was like a fish caught in a fisherman's net.

He has no strength to break free, this is a net!
This net compiled by fame!
