On the first day of his arrival, Lin Zizhen didn't know anything about the situation, so he had to send away the people around him.

Fortunately, although these people were selling miserably and crying for being poor, Lin Zizhen said a few words, and when Lin Zizhen agreed, they stopped entanglement. Even when they left, Lin Zizhen found one or two older officials. Si, a guilty conscience flashed across his face.

At first, Lin Zizhen wondered if he was delusional, but he didn't expect that after he checked the account books, he called a few people to ask, and these people did not hide anything and gave a general account of the situation.

Only then did Lin Zizhen know why the Ministry of Industry could not find a suitable person to take over for a long time. The Ministry of Industry was already in an embarrassing situation, not to mention the lowest position among the six departments, because the functions he was in charge of were civil and water conservancy projects, road construction and bridge building. Infrastructure, while part-time research and development of machines, is really a money-burning department.

This is also the reason why the Ministry of Households did not like them before. Even though cement was available later, most of the money earned from cement was used to cover the cost of road construction before, and the rest was classified into the public account of the Ministry of Industry.As for the salaries of other petty officials and craftsmen, in fact, the imperial court did not delay at all, and the Ministry of Households allocated funds to the Ministry of Industry.

Now the people in charge of various departments ran to Lin Zizhen to sell miserably. They really don't blame others, if they want to blame, they can only blame themselves.

It turned out that the Ministry of Industry had built a cement plant and had a share in it. As long as the cement plant was open, the Ministry of Industry would always have a good income.Now the Ministry of Industry can not only obtain a certain amount of funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs, but also has money in its own department's public account for many years.Later, when I went to the household department, I felt that my back was much straighter.

At the same time, the emergence of cement also made Lao Shangshu, who had not retired before, see a new path.Yes, the way of using utensils is one of the skills of their Ministry of Industry. If they can invent some practical new things and build factories to produce and sell them, it will not only benefit the country, but also allow their Ministry of Industry to have sufficient funds. Add some etiquette to everyone during the New Year holidays, and make other films envy them.

The idea is good, but the steps are too big, as the saying goes, if the steps are too big, it is easy to stretch.

Isn't that what the Ministry of Industry is like, once Lao Shangshu's idea is passed on, all the departments below are gearing up and working hard.

It's a pity that the early stage of research and development is the most money-burning. Before a prelude is played, the money allocated by the Ministry of Accounts and the money in the public account are all burned.But no one was reconciled, they always felt that they were almost going to succeed, and even agreed to embezzle everyone's salary first, and then try again.

This is not the last scene that Lin Zizhen saw today.The old Shangshu had a sudden stroke, probably because he was anxious about the current embarrassing situation of the Ministry of Industry.

Lin Zizhen, who knew the truth, heaved a long sigh. The fourth master must have known about these situations. I feel that the old Shangshu had a good idea before, and wanted him to revitalize the Ministry of Industry.

There are also these bureaucrats who don't consider the consequences when spending money. Now they know it's difficult, and they also know that the life of the artisans below is not easy, and they want to fool him, and he deserves it.

It's just that now that he's in office, he can't run away.

Lin Zizhen had no choice but to think about the current situation, and when he had some ideas in his mind, he asked someone to tell him about the experiments that the Ministry of Industry had done before that had not been successful.

The people below saw that Lin Zi was really willing to take care of things, and heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. They have made it to this point, although they are only a sixth-rank Yuanwailang, but the salary of one or two months will not make life difficult.It's just that the days of artisans who are short of salary for one or two months, as well as petty officials who have not yet entered the product, are unavoidably tight.

So this time Lin Zizhen spoke, and this person was really positive when he was working.

In the next few days, Lin Zizhen was in the Ministry of Industry. After getting a general understanding of the situation in the Ministry of Industry, Lin Zizhen's thoughts became clearer.

During the period, Lin Zizhen was currently the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Lin Zizhen's new boss also came back from vacation to take office. It's not easy, it's not easy to say everyone's fault, and in the end, I felt guilty, I was worthless, and I couldn't afford to be the leader of the Ministry of Industry in front of Lin Zizhen.

Even if Lin Zizhen's face was numb throughout the whole process, it would not affect his performance.Well, this Ministry of Industry is not quite what he imagined.

But they probably also knew that their Ministry of Industry was a mess right now, so they couldn't be more hospitable and enthusiastic about Lin Zizhen, who was arranged by Fourth Master.

This also comforted Lin Zizhen a little. Lin Zizhen already had a plan in his heart, so he ran to the fourth master.As soon as the fourth master saw him, before Lin Zizhen could speak, he asked Su Peisheng to hand Lin Zizhen the wooden box that had been prepared on the table.

Lin Zizhen opened the box and took a look, he was amused, there were some stacks of banknotes inside.

"Master is really good at predicting things. I have just entered the door, and you will know the purpose of my visit. The amount is just right, just enough to make up for the hole basket of the Ministry of Industry this time."

After finishing speaking, Lin Zizhen rolled his eyes again, and said with a smile: "Master, if you want to revitalize the Ministry of Industry, you will need some funds in the early stage, or you can also sponsor the ministers." It can't be seen that the fourth master is quite rich of.

When the fourth master heard this, he still didn't know what this person was up to, he just said: "A large part of it was brought out by the old Shangshu and Guo Shangshu who resigned." The subtext is that the master has no money.In addition to supporting his family, the intelligence agency he set up privately was a big money grabber.

After finishing speaking, he also thought that he was indeed not very authentic this time, so he suggested: "If the Ministry of Industry has any ideas, you can also write a plan and submit it. As long as it is suitable, the above will definitely allocate funds for you."

Hearing this, Lin Zizhen rolled his eyes, and said depressedly: "You said this. The Ministry of Industry offended the Ministry of Households before, so don't make trouble for us on purpose."

"Don't worry, Minister of the Household Department is not that kind of person. Lord, the people below will stare at me more. This time, I will work hard for you. Let those who are capable work harder." Said: "By the way, the girl's school you mentioned is looking for the headmaster, and you won't be able to find a suitable person for a while, but Fujin said that before you find someone, she will take care of the girl's school for you first. .”

The fourth master has already talked about this, what else can Lin Zizhen say.He also felt much better when he heard that Fujin was able to manage the girls' school himself. Not to mention Fujin's identity, it would bring many invisible benefits to the girls' school, even Fujin's management ability, which is quite powerful.

Only then did the two get down to business.

Lin Zizhen didn't hide it, he shared some of his general thoughts with Fourth Master one by one.Otherwise, how could fourth master and even the emperor agree to give him money.

"I looked at the attempts they made before. Although some of them were unsuccessful, they can actually be picked up and changed to a different way of thinking. It's not impossible.

In addition to this, I also plan to form a long-term cooperation between the Ministry of Industry and the technical school. The school has applied for several projects before, which are very meaningful, but there has been no movement, and the Ministry of Industry has no talented people. In this way, the integration of talents on both sides will not only save some money, but also speed up the efficiency..."

The fourth master listened for a while, then pondered: "That's fine, I will greet the Ministry of Rites here, and you are familiar with those students, so you do it first, and if there is an effect, I will apply for you for the industrial park you mentioned , otherwise the effect has not been seen yet, and I suddenly apply for such a large piece of land for you, even if Huang Ama doesn't say anything, some people below will inevitably gossip."

"Well, all right. Just wait and see."

After finishing speaking, Lin Zizhen left first, and now he is too busy. Although he has already smoothed out the people and things in the Ministry of Industry, whether it is cooperation with the school or various experiments, these That's what really hurts people.

Fortunately, he was also the principal of a technical school. With his efforts, the cooperation between the two parties was quickly negotiated.After Lin Zizhen regrouped them, the first thing Lin Zizhen saw some hope for was the improved textile machine.

This is a good thing.When the improved textile machine successfully wove the first piece of cloth, everyone was excited, and the next step was to build a factory, and soon the first textile factory in Kyoto was officially built.

As for the cloth produced, seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, Lin Zizhen only divided a small part of it to sell in the outside market, made some money and brought back, and he sent the rest to the warehouse for the time being.

Moreover, the textile factory has not stopped working yet, so he continues to let people produce cloth, and let him store all the produced cloth in the warehouse, and now he is waiting for an opportunity so that they can sell this product abroad.Otherwise, if such a large amount of cloth appeared on the market, it would easily destroy the fragile economy of the Qing Dynasty.

It can only be sold overseas when the time comes, just as Master Jiu and the others should come back.Once these guys went out, they were promiscuous and didn't want to come back. Even when Emperor Kangxi sent a letter during the Golden Festival, they only sent gifts back, but they didn't see anyone.

But Emperor Kangxi was angry and cut off their financial support for a while, but these guys were also bold. The emperor withheld money, and they drove out directly to find the surrounding pirates to train soldiers, and ransacked everyone by the way. At the beginning, they suffered a lot, but after all, they were well-equipped and had a large number of people. After this trip, not only did the newly established navy gradually take shape, but their wallets were also full.

My old man is not around, and there are still people outside who can take care of them.

Fortunately, Emperor Kangxi became angry when he thought of these three sons, but since he never issued an order to summon people, he always sent people to urge them every time. This proves that Emperor Kangxi was not really angry after all, otherwise he could just let him They are having fun outside.

But this time the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the ninth master, the tenth master and the fourteenth master, it is impossible not to come back.No, as soon as Lin Zizhen came home from the factory, the Fourteenth Lord who had returned from outside came to the door.

Before he entered the house, he heard his louder voice: "Lin Zizhen, Lin Zizhen, come out and see what the master brought you?"
