Chapter 409 0405 [Please resign! 】

Guo Chi, the Supervisor and Supervisor of the Shaofu, came out and said: "Your Majesty, now that our dynasty has just been established, should the royal robes, treasure books, seals, banners, standards of weights and measures, as well as the utensils used for sacrifices and court meetings, and official costumes be re-customized? "

Han Zhen muttered: "Except for the imperial uniforms and official uniforms, the rest all follow the ancient system."

Many systems in the Zhao and Song dynasties were copied and inherited from the Tang Dynasty. Han Zhen didn't know much about these and was too lazy to change them for the time being, so he continued to use the ancient systems and slowly changed them in the future.

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Guo Chi bowed and responded.

As for the colors and styles of royal and official uniforms, we will discuss them privately with the officials.

At this moment, a man stepped out of the crowd and bowed: "Your Majesty, I would like to resign from the position of dean of the Academy of Engineering."

The person who spoke was none other than Craftsman Yuan.

Han Zhen said calmly: "You're so good, why do you want to resign?"

Craftsman Yuan said sincerely: "I am a country craftsman. Your Majesty does not think that I am vulgar, but gives you a high official and a generous salary. I am very grateful. However, I have few talents and limited knowledge. The Academy of Engineering is the cornerstone of the country. I am afraid that it will delay your Majesty's plans, so I resign." "

When he was in Shandong, he was still barely competent, but after moving to Bianjing and merging the general supervisor and the ordnance supervisor, the Institute of Engineering suddenly became a behemoth, which made him panic.

The General Supervisor is under the jurisdiction of ten departments, and the Ordnance Supervisor is under the jurisdiction of four agencies. Together with the original officials and craftsmen of the Shandong Academy of Engineering Sciences, the number exceeds 3,000.

I tossed and turned last night and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

He knows how much he weighs, and the government attaches great importance to the Academy of Engineering.

After thinking about it all night, he decided to resign.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "Don't mention your resignation again."

"This... I obey."

Craftsman Yuan smiled bitterly, stood up slowly, and returned to the queue.

After each ministry took turns to report, and after a series of reorganizations and reorganizations, the political structure of the imperial court was formally determined.

One province, four ministries, six courtyards and seven temples.

Temples were state institutions in ancient times, representing the imperial court.

Why are Buddhist and Taoist temples called temples?

Because Buddhism and Taoism are religions recognized by the imperial court, and temples in various places were built with the imperial court's permission, that's why it was called a temple.

Many folk gods are not officially recognized and are called lustful temples.

One of Di Renjie's major achievements when he was an official was the destruction of thousands of prostitution temples in Wu and Chu.

The seven temples are Taichang Temple, Shaofu Temple, Dali Temple, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, Taifu Temple and Zongzheng Temple.

The Shaofu Temple was changed from a prison to a temple. The original Taipu Temple was in charge of horse administration, and Weiwei Temple, which was responsible for garrisoning troops, was merged into the Military Department. Sinong Temple was responsible for the official granary and was merged into the Household Department.

In this way, the duplication of functions and powers of various ministries and agencies is avoided, while the efficiency of work is improved and the problem of redundant officials is solved.

The meeting lasted until noon.

"Retreat!"

Amidst Liu Chang's singing, the civil and military officials exited the Chui Gong Hall.

"Thank you sir, congratulations!"

"Prefect Pei is congratulated!"

"..."

All the officials looked happy and congratulated each other.

Craftsman Yuan was the only one with a sad face.

Yu Bozhuang comforted him: "Why should Dean Yuan be so sad? The officials should be happy that they have great trust in the Dean."

He changed from the Chief Supervisor to the Vice President of the Academy of Engineering. It seemed that he had changed from the fourth rank to the fifth rank, but in fact he was promoted openly and secretly.

Nothing else but because Han Zhen attached great importance to the Academy of Engineering Sciences and regarded it as the cornerstone of the country.

His status and authority were instantly elevated by several levels.

Just like some department directors, they seem to be department directors, but they won’t be replaced by a minister!

Regardless of Craftsman Yuan's ability, he had the ability to follow the dragon, so Yu Bozhuang did not dare to look down upon him in the slightest.

Craftsman Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "It is precisely because of the trust of the officials that I feel scared. If the project fails, how can I be worthy of the officials' support?"

At this moment, Liu Chang's voice came from behind: "Dean Yuan and Minister Yu, please stay here for a moment, your Majesty will summon you."

"Yes."

The two of them looked serious and followed Liu Chang towards the small courtyard behind Chui Gong Hall.

In the small courtyard, Han Zhen sat under the shade of a tree and enjoyed lunch.

Guo Chi, the Superintendent of Shaofu Temple, stood aside and explained eloquently: "According to the etiquette system, His Majesty has six attires. The first is the big fur mian, which is worn during winter sacrifices. The second is called the Gon Mian, which is worn during summer sacrifices. The third one is the crown and crimson gauze gown, which are worn during court meetings..."

"In addition to the six uniforms, there is also the imperial parade uniform, a type of armor, worn during military parades on horseback."

Han Zhen swallowed the rice in his mouth and ordered: "There is no need for imperial uniforms. We have black light armor in our army."

"Wei Chen understands."

Guo Chi nodded and asked: "I wonder if your Majesty has any requirements for the sixth uniform?"

The colors of the six robes are different. Except for the two robes for worshiping heaven and earth, which are yellow, the remaining four imperial robes, including the crimson robe, the robe, the shirt robe and the narrow robe, are all different, some are red and some are white.

This is related to the national destiny of each dynasty. For example, the Jin Dynasty was a fire virtue, so the clothes and clothes were all red.

Han Zhen ordered: "Mainly use black color."

He didn't believe what Wude had always said. He just felt that the yellow dragon robe and the red dragon robe did not suit his aesthetics. Those cerebral palsy screenwriters in the TV series in his previous life had yellow dragon robes for each dynasty, which made him vomit.

In comparison, he prefers the black dragon robe.

Han Zhen continued: "In addition, the uniforms of civil and military officials must be distinguished. Civil servants must be elegant and noble, and military generals must be simple and capable." "Weak ministers take orders."

Guo Chi nodded in response.

Although Han Zhen's request was very abstract, he didn't dare to complain at all. This is what he did. If he couldn't do this well, what else would he, the supervisor of Shaofu Temple, do?

As soon as Guo Chi left, Craftsman Yuan and Yu Bozhuang came behind.

"sit."

After inviting the two of them to sit down, Han Zhen ordered: "It's already noon, let's just have a meal in the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet."

Yu Bozhuang was flattered.

Soon, the palace maid added dishes and chopsticks for the two of them.

Yu Bozhuang couldn't let go, but Craftsman Yuan on the side was used to it, so he picked up the bowl and started eating.

Since it was a casual meal, it was eaten quickly.

Taking the tea from Liu Chang, Han Zhen took a sip and asked, "Do you feel too stressed?"

"Yes."

Craftsman Yuan nodded: "I know how much I weigh, and I am worried about ruining His Majesty's important event."

Han Zhen said nothing, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

To be honest, Han Zhen himself knew that Craftsman Yuan was not as good as Jiang Zuojian and others in terms of technical and management skills, but he was really good at it and didn't want to change people easily.

Moreover, Craftsman Yuan has been a confidant since he was young, not to mention projects such as artillery and flintlock guns. Craftsman Yuan has always been responsible for the follow-up.

It is impossible for Yu Bozhuang, these newly surrendered old ministers of Zhao and Song Dynasty, to gain his trust in a short time.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "I said, don't mention the matter of resignation again. The Academy of Engineering Sciences is indeed bloated at present. I originally planned to reorganize it, separate the arms manufacturing from it, and establish a military industry institute. Although it is officially under the Academy of Engineering Sciences However, it is an independent department, and its funding and personnel transfer are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Academy of Engineering Sciences. You will be fully responsible for this military industrial institute."

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Craftsman Yuan looked happy.

Han Zhen turned around and said, "Yu Bozhuang."

"Chen is here!"

Yu Bozhuang responded quickly.

Han Zhen ordered: "From today on, Du Shuijian and Si Tianjian will be merged into the Academy of Engineering, under the jurisdiction of the Twelve Supervisors, overseeing palaces, water conservancy, city walls, bridges, ships, roads, calendars, etc. Connect with the Academy of Engineering and organize Master craftsmen with superb skills regularly go to the engineering college to give lectures.”

Yu Bozhuang responded with a solemn expression: "Wei Chen takes orders!"

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "I'm not Zhao Ji. Work hard and I won't treat you badly."

"Weak ministers must do their best to live up to the king's kindness."

Yu Bozhuang is not stupid either. Craftsman Yuan, a craftsman from a government-run workshop in the county, was able to reach the position of dean of the Academy of Engineering because of Han Zhen's nostalgia for his old friendship.

As long as he works hard, he will definitely be good in the future.

Han Zhen warned: "You should pay more attention to the management of the Academy of Engineering. When you get back, write a report and submit it."

"Wei Chen retire."

Yu Bozhuang heard the meaning of Han Zhen's words, stood up, bowed, and left alone.

After he left, Han Zhen waved to Liu Chang.

Liu Chang understood immediately, led several palace ladies out of the small courtyard, and closed the courtyard door.

Han Zhen suppressed his smile and said sternly: "Qingqian, artillery and gunpowder are too important. I don't trust leaving them to others. Since you feel that the Academy of Engineering is under too much pressure, then you will be in charge of the Military Industry Institute. During this time, you Take a walk around Kaifeng Mansion every day to choose a suitable place to use as a military industrial base."

Gunpowder must not be placed in the city, otherwise if it is not handled properly, the tragedy of the Wang Gong Factory explosion will be repeated in advance.

Moreover, there are many people in the city, and only the sparsely populated mountains belong to the military industry.

"I'm from the province."

Craftsman Yuan nodded solemnly.

"After the establishment of the Military Industry Institute, the top priority is the research on siege artillery."

During this Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, the field artillery performed excellently, but the siege artillery was somewhat difficult to describe.

It is useful, but it also has a lot of shortcomings.

The first problem is the material. No matter how strong the iron wood is, it is still wood, and its strength is not as strong as steel that has been tempered thousands of times.

After a battle, seven or eight of them were blasted, and the remaining siege guns had more or less problems and could no longer be used.

Han Zhen continued: "There are many skilled craftsmen in the Zhao Song Ordnance Supervision. After they are merged into the military industry, you can discuss with them. If they can build a steel siege cannon, I will not hesitate to reward them."

After a few more instructions, Craftsman Yuan left.

……

After the meeting, various departments were in full swing for reorganization.

Memorials like snowflakes were constantly being sent to the cabinet.

For a time, Xie Ding and the others were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink tea.

After preliminary review, these memorials were sent to Chui Gong Hall for final approval by Han Zhen.

Although the prime minister will take away part of the imperial power, it is indispensable.

Zhu Yuanzhang banned the prime minister and took over the power alone. As a result, Zhu Biao was exhausted to death.

Among the emperors, Zhu Di was considered the most powerful person. However, after working for a few years after taking power, he couldn't stand it any longer. Only then did he recruit a bachelor and form the prototype of a cabinet to help him share the pressure.

There is no way, a country is so big, there are so many departments, and there are countless nonsense things that happen every day. Without the help of the cabinet to sort out and share worries, the emperor has twelve hours a day, and he doesn’t have to do anything. He can’t just approve memorials. over.
