I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 205 Yang Rong's Reminder

All things in Tiangongyuan are developing in the direction imagined.

Li Tian is quite at ease with Zhou Zhen and Yang Rong.

The few suggestions put forward this time are just to put the development of Tiangong Institute on track faster.

Although he has only been the emperor for a month, but for some reason, there is a sense of urgency in his heart all the time, as if forcing him to take a big step forward.

If only the two of them self-realized, how long it might take to formulate a complete system such as the classification of craftsmen.

These perfect systems, but the experience that has been tested for hundreds of years in later generations, are of great effect, self-evident.

Both Zhou Zhen and Yang Rong were shocked by Li Tian's foresight.

It's just that, as courtiers, they didn't dare to lose their composure in front of Li Tian, ​​otherwise they wouldn't know how to shout.

Time slipped away during this simple discussion, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, the specific matters need to be carefully considered and formulated by you, so I won't say any more. After sitting for so long, I'm also a little tired. If you still have something to do, go get busy first!"

It was also the first time for Li Tian to sit on the ground and talk to someone for so long.

When I got up, my feet felt a little numb.

He wobbled twice and almost lost his footing.

Wang Fu on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Li Tian smiled wryly, and murmured to himself, "What the hell, I will never sit on the ground for so long from now on, it's too cold!"

While rubbing back, with Wang Fu's support, he walked towards the front yard.

Yang Rong and Zhou Zhen also got up quickly,

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

The Tiangong Institute is full of things, and they still have a lot of things to do. After sending Li Tian to the sedan chair, they turned back to the office area in the front yard.

In a somewhat shabby-looking wing room.

Yang Rong looked it up and down, and then said lightly, "Zhou Shilang is really simple, this is your study!"

Zhou Zhen didn't know what Yang Rong's words meant, and said with some doubts, "The old man laughed at me. The Tiangong Academy was first built, and the officials have not had time to make decorations in the future."

But Yang Rong said with a half-smile, "Well, it's better to be simple and simple, so as not to make people gossip."

Zhou Zhen didn't know what happened at this time, Yang Rong meant something.

an arched hand,
"Please tell the old man clearly!"

Seeing that he was still on the right track, Yang Rong didn't hold back, stared at his eyes earnestly and said,
"I don't need to say more, you should also know that Tiangong Academy will definitely become the place where my great Ming gathers in the future."

"Dandan cement may make a lot of money in the future."

"But the money belongs to the Tiangong Academy in name, but it also belongs to His Majesty. You can understand this!"

Zhou Zhen couldn't turn the corner for a while.

He frowned and said, "What does Mr. Ge say?"

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Yang Rong shook his head and smiled wryly, "You have such a simple and straightforward personality, how did you get to be the servant?"

"If it's a small fight, it's fine to earn 8 to [-] taels a year, and no one will stare at us."

"It was only after you and His Majesty talked about it that this old man knew that there is such a huge benefit hidden in this cement."

"You should also know that the imperial court is short of money everywhere now. If other yamen know that Tiangongyuan is so profitable, our threshold will not be broken by them in the future."

Anyway, Zhou Zhen is also a dignified third-rank servant, and he is also very clear about the fact that the household department's yamen is surrounded by people every day.

Hearing what Yang Rong said, I thought that the same will happen to my own door in the future.

His face turned pale involuntarily, and he hastily cupped his hands and said,
"I would also like to ask the old man to show me what the next official should do."

Yang Rong said with a smile, "At this time, the cement has just shown its promise. It will take some time to reach that level, so there is no rush."

"The old man said this to you at this time, just to let you understand that within the imperial court, any place involving a large amount of money is the place with the most disputes. All kinds of open and dark arrows, even if you defend day and night, you will inevitably have omissions." one day"

"It's just a servant of the household department who has just fallen. I don't want to think that there is something wrong with our Tiangong Academy."

Zhou Zhen was shocked when he heard about Guo Wenyu.

He knew that although he didn't know much, he had been an official for many years, and even if it was just a few words, he could still get a rough idea.

"Thank you, Mr. Ge, for reminding me that the next official must be extremely careful."

Yang Rong waved his hand and said, "You are not so nervous. After all, Tiangongyuan is His Majesty, and it has been established with one hand. Even if something goes wrong, as long as it is not your fault, His Majesty will not pursue it too much. of."

"It's just that in the court, we don't see our good people. There are many people around. I'm afraid that some people will be jealous and make trouble secretly."

Yang Rong's words seemed to be long-winded, but in fact he did it out of necessity.

As he said, as an emerging department promoted by Li Tian himself, the attention of various forces has never stopped from the time it was just established to the completion of the project.

There are not a few people who want to see Li Tian or Tiangong Academy make a fool of themselves.

Tiangongyuan has no foundation and no experience, so it is very likely to be caught by someone.

In case something goes wrong, it won't be the face of Yang Rong and Zhou Zhen that will be lost, but Li Tian will also be greatly embarrassed, and his reforms may also be greatly affected.

As a cabinet minister, Yang Rong has a lot of things to do every day. Although he is the dean and leader of Tiangong Academy in name, Zhou Zhen is actually in charge.

Zhou Zhen is only in his forties, and he is in the peak stage of an official's various states, but Zhou Zhen has been working in the Ministry of Industry before.

As we all know, the officials of the Ministry of Industry have always done thankless things, and they don't have much power, and Zhou Zhen is a very capable person who is not very good at making money.

He also rarely participated in intrigue and other things.

Yang Rong was also afraid of Zhou Zhen's personality and couldn't play with those old fritters, so he mentioned a few words to him when he had just made a fortune and hadn't really shown his talents.

At this time, Zhou Zhen completely understood what Yang Rong meant, and bowed gratefully to the end.

"Your Majesty thanked Elder Ge for his suggestion. I will be extremely cautious in the future and never let Elder Ge and Your Majesty down."

Seeing that he was finally enlightened, Yang Rong was also very pleased.

Fu Xu smiled and said, "It would be great if you understand. Although the old man is the dean of the Tiangong Institute, in fact, you have always been the person in charge. The old man has not been here for a long time. In the future, the burden of the Tiangong Institute may have to be It's on you alone."
