[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Chapter 30 Dream of the Red Chamber 1 scene (30)

After Lin Ruhai left the palace, he headed towards the Ministry of Industry.

Originally, according to Lin Ruhai's idea, the Ministry of Industry should be the last department among the six departments, and it should be treated coldly, but today in the hall, except for the second department of official and household affairs, the other four departments seem to follow the lead of the Ministry of Industry. The three ministers were even more polite to him, which made him baffled.

At first, he thought that everyone was being polite to him because of Emperor Jialong, but after entering the Ministry of Industry, Lin Ruhai figured out the real reason.

The six ministries of the imperial court all arrange officials according to unified regulations. There is one Shangshu, Cong Yipin, two assistant ministers, Zheng Erpin, two doctors, Zheng Wupin, two Yuanwailang, from fifth rank, and then five principals of Zhengliupin. , These high-ranking officials also have a group of small sesame officials as dispatches.

On Lin Ruhai's first day in the Ministry of Industry, all the officials came to salute him. After he got to know all the main officials, he let them go back to work, and Tang Zi, the left servant, stayed behind.

Tang Ziquan is a middle-aged man in his 40s, not tall enough, with a slightly hunched back, a mustache, and very shrewd eyes.

After everyone dispersed, Tang Ziquan stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, can I show you around the Ministry of Industry?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Young servant Tang is being polite." After speaking, he motioned for Tang Ziquan to lead the way.

At any rate, he had been an official for decades, and Lin Ruhai knew about the composition of the six parts, but what Tang Ziquan said next made him completely confused.

"My lord, externally, our industrial department is divided into four departments: Yingjian, Yuheng, Dushui, and Tuntian. You must know all of these. The next official will show you the internal department."

Lin Ruhai frowned: "The Ministry of Industry still divides into internal and external work?"

Tang Ziquan stroked his mustache and said with a smile, "My lord, you will know the reason after reading it."

Lin Ruhai thoughtfully followed Tang Ziquan to the front yard of the Ministry of Industry, passed the gatehouse of the Fourth Ministry, and saw the structure inside.

Tang Ziquan led Lin Ruhai to the first hall, and saw the character "Nong" hanging on the pillars in the hall, which was written in dragon and phoenix dance, with a compelling momentum.

Tang Ziquan stretched out his hand and introduced: "My lord, the word 'nong' was written by the crown prince himself, and the Ministry of Agriculture is the top priority of the Ministry of Industry. This department is mainly responsible for making new farm tools, cultivating improved seeds, collecting land data from various places, etc. Things related to food will be gathered here."

Lin Ruhai suddenly asked: "In recent years, the new plows, improved seeds, and fertilizers are all from this department?"

Tang Ziquan replied with a smile: "Exactly."

"Okay, okay!" Lin Ruhai clapped his hands, benefiting the country and the people, this department is very sympathetic to him.

Seeing this, Tang Ziquan was puzzled: "My lord, don't you know? Most of the achievements of the Ministry of Agriculture have benefited from the information provided by Lin Xiuzhuan."

Lin Ruhai was taken aback by Tang Ziquan's words, he immediately thought of Ji Shengyan's face, and immediately understood.My son likes to read miscellaneous books. He summed up the results of reading miscellaneous books. He didn't show it to him as an old man, but gave it to the prince... The feeling of not staying.

Tang Ziquan was an individual, and seeing Lin Ruhai's expression was wrong, he hurriedly led him down to the second hall.

Hanging on the pillars in the second hall is the word "Water Conservancy". These two words are familiar to Lin Ruhai and were written by his son.

"Ministry of Water Resources, as the name suggests, the water conservancy projects for rivers, lakes and seas are all determined by this department, such as flood control and irrigation, water supply and shipping, and even aquaculture. My lord, the biggest achievement of this department in recent years is the management of the Yellow River."

Lin Ruhai was in a complicated mood. He had seen the blueprint drawn by Lin Yuzhou. Presumably this blueprint is now in the Ministry of Industry, right?

"Master Tang, the merits of the lower officials are not limited to the sand control of the Yellow River. Mr. Liu has already made that weird thing according to the blueprint you gave. What's the use of that? When will you take it to the Investment Promotion Department?" ah?"

Tang Ziquan waved his hands: "Put it there, now is not the time, and your kindness will be indispensable in the future."

Lin Ruhai didn't understand what they said, what does the Investment Promotion Department mean?Is it also a new department of the Ministry of Industry?

After seeing the Ministry of Water Resources, Lin Ruhai and the others came to the third hall, with a big "Shang" written on the pillars between them.

"My lord, the Ministry of Commerce is mainly responsible for the management of weights and measures, and is also responsible for minting coins. This department is very important, but for some reason, the minting of coins is temporarily put on hold."

Lin Ruhai understood what Tang Ziquan meant, that the Ministry of Households was not under the control of the prince, and the Ministry of Works had no instructions to mint coins privately.

After reading the three departments, the fourth department is the Investment Promotion Department that Lin Ruhai heard just now. According to Tang Ziquan's introduction, the main job of the Investment Promotion Department is to find buyers for various inventions of the Ministry of Industry, and is also responsible for negotiating with the Ministry of Accounting.

The two walked a few steps forward, turned into a corridor, and walked into the innermost room of the Ministry of Industry. The room was quite large, and there was a sign on the porch with the word "special" written on it.

Lin Ruhai turned around and looked at Tang Ziquan, "Master Tang, what do you mean by these two words?"

Tang Ziquan pushed open the door and led Lin Ruhai into the so-called "special department".

All kinds of weapons are neatly arranged on the shelves, shining with a cold light. Behind the sharp knives and sharp guns are placed wooden boxes. The boxes are lined with straw, and the same standard fire system is neatly stacked. .

"The special department is responsible for manufacturing weapons. Unfortunately, we don't have enough money. What we can produce is limited after all. Just for this little thing, all departments of the Ministry of War will fight."

The Ministry of Households is stuck with money, and even if the Ministry of War gets the money, it has to use it to raise soldiers. There is really no surplus food for the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Industry is not a charitable hall, so it can only make these things, and show it to the Ministry of War first. , Then wait for the Ministry of War to force the Ministry of Households.

"Besides, the special department is also responsible for the research of new equipment, but His Royal Highness has not given instructions on this part, so it is empty for the time being."

Lin Ruhai didn't say much about it, and he would know everything when he went home and asked Lin Yuzhou.

Going down, Tang Ziquan took Lin Ruhai back to the corridor and walked to the right, bypassing the rockery, and there was another row of houses, the first house had the word "Building" hanging on the doorpost.

"My lord, the maintenance and construction of the palace, the repair and renovation of the yamen, the construction of the mausoleum, the construction of the royal garden, etc., are all in charge of this department."

Lin Ruhai nodded, this is the daily life of the Ministry of Industry, isn't most of the work of the Ministry of Industry to do is to build houses?

In the room next to the "Zhu" character room, the word "vessel" is hung on the doorpost. Without Tang Zi's full introduction, Lin Ruhai understands what this department does, official utensils, palace utensils, wedding utensils for princes and sons, etc. All out here.

After reading these two departments, Lin Ruhai came to the last room. The layout of this room was very strange. When he entered the door, he saw a tall counter with many brochures on it. Several officials were holding a strange piece of paper on the counter. There is a queue ahead.

Tang Ziquan lowered his voice: "My lord, this is the financial office. Each department needs to fill out the form in advance to apply for funds, and take it to the financial office for accounting. After the accounting is completed, you can only come here to withdraw money after you sign it. And the officials of the Ministry of Industry The salary is also received here, and the bonus is also calculated and distributed here."

This is a good way, Lin Ruhai nodded. With the existence of the financial office, the accounts of the Ministry of Industry can be seen at a glance.

So far, Lin Ruhai has finished understanding the general situation of the Ministry of Industry. As a minister, he has an independent office area. After Tang Ziquan took him there, he asked Tang Ziquan to go back to work.

Lin Ruhai sat in front of the table, and the tour along the way brought him a great shock. He finally understood the meaning of Lin Yuzhou's sentence "the Ministry of Industry will definitely be the most important department in this country in the future".

Isn't it the most important department?Lin Ruhai felt distressed. The current Ministry of Industry is cultivating talents for the other five ministries. After the crown prince takes power and drastically rectifies other departments, how many people will be able to stay in the Ministry of Industry?

He has already foreseen that the Ministry of Agriculture will definitely be separated and become a separate institution, and the Ministry of Water Resources will naturally be the same. The Ministry of War will not let go of special departments.

The mature crops were dug up, and the corners of the built walls were dug up. This feeling of knowing what will happen in the future, but being unable to do anything, and waiting for others to wield a hoe with a smile is really bad. Lin Ruhai sprouted The urge to beat his son.

It's no wonder that the three ministers of rites, soldiers, and punishments treat him well. The Ministry of Industry is now a talent reserve, and these people are waiting for the right time to come to harvest the rice.

Lin Ruhai transported it for a long time, thinking about it, he laughed again, the current Ministry of Industry has half of Lin Yuzhou's credit, which made him very gratified, he had a feeling that in his lifetime he could see the prosperity of all nations coming to celebrate.

"My lord." Lin Ruhai's heart was filled with pride, Tang Ziquan's voice brought him back to his senses, he got up and saw Tang Ziquan walking towards him with a small official, who was holding a wooden box in his hand.

"There is a small kitchen in the Ministry of Industry. The lunch meals are prepared uniformly. Two meat and three vegetables, one bowl of soup, and rice are optional. I forgot to tell you, so I brought it to you."

Lin Ruhai got up and took the wooden box, and thanked him, "Master Tang, you are welcome." He was really happy, when the servants at home brought the food, it was probably cold, and the taste must not be as good as hot.

After Tang Ziquan delivered the meal, he took the little official away, and Lin Ru read the plans handed in by various departments of the Ministry of Industry while eating by the sea.

Lin Ruhai's work went smoothly, and Lin Yuzhou's was similar. It's a pity that the Imperial Academy didn't provide lunch, and his meal was brought by Lin Cong.

"Brother, I found out, the people you mentioned will go to Huiyaju tonight."

The warm food tasted so-so. Lin Yuzhou ate a few mouthfuls casually, and stopped eating when his stomach was full. He handed the food box to Lin Cong, and ordered: "Make sure those from Jia's family will also appear in Huiya at night. live."

"Small one understands, big brother, the servant next to Second Master Lian found me and said that Second Master Lian was looking for you."

Jia Lian?Lin Yuzhou raised his eyebrows: "I'll meet him sometime after the dinner, what happened to the Jia family recently?"

"It is said that we are going to build a family garden, and Ningrong and Rongfu have been busy with it recently."

Going bankrupt?Lin Yuzhou's eyes narrowed slightly. In this world, Lin Ruhai is not dead, Jia's family has no money to build a family-friendly villa, and Jia Lian is looking for him for nothing more than this.
