Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

At this time, the servant of the Ministry of Industry was called Zhou Yue. He stood there helplessly, listening to the emperor's reprimand, and when Zhao Ji said that his mouth was dry, he said calmly, "Your Majesty, it's not Weichen or not. Sincerely, Wei Chen really doesn't have that power! Wei Chen is just a loose official. How can various supervisors such as general supervisors and military supervisors listen to Wei Chen? , when you don't want to, just treat Wei Chen as a fart!"

Uh, Zhao Ji remembered that at this time, the Minister of Works really had no power. Although he was a second-rank official, he had already been vacated. This made him feel a little embarrassed, and Zhao Ji felt that this situation was not right.

This is all caused by the goddamn emphasis on literature and neglect of martial arts. The emperor was afraid of military generals rebelling. Like Zhao Kuangyin, he put on a yellow robe, so he set up all kinds of stumbling blocks for the generals, so that the soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the soldiers, and the mobilization was a mess. Victory is a strange thing.

The same is true in terms of political affairs, and officials are superfluous. Let's talk about Shilang Province, the following governs the six divisions, but the servants of each division have no rights, but directly control the units under the six divisions. Isn't it nonsense to re-select someone else to deal with?

"Ahem, didn't I come here to deal with this matter?" Zhao Ji's words attracted Zhou Yue's attention.

What does this mean, could it be... Zhou Yue's heart beat faster, listening to the emperor's meaning.

"I have ordered you to handle all matters of the Ministry of Industry, unify the measurement standards, unify the manufacturing standards, and go with my edict! However, if you still can't do it within a month, you can go into hiding by yourself!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yue was immediately excited. He had been ostracized for a long time, and he had been depressed. Now that he had received the emperor's will, he immediately understood that his spring had come. Immediately shouted, "The minister obeys the order and will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Zhou Yue was thinking in his heart that he must do a good job in this matter, and at the same time, he must also take care of the disobedient subordinates... One month is enough!

Zhao Ji was also a last resort after calling the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Shi Langsheng is now under the command of Li Gang, but Li Gang has too many things, how can he handle so many things. Zhao Ji wanted to implement his standardization, but he couldn't find a specific person in charge! In the end, of course, the nominal leader was found, that is, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Not only the Minister of Industry, but also the Minister of War and the Minister of Household, these two should also be reformed, because such people are superfluous, and the situation without a specific leader really makes Zhao Ji uncomfortable.

The army is the foundation of the emperor. It must be mastered personally. It is not safe to hold it in the hands of civil servants. Sooner or later, it will be harmed by them as in history. Li Gang was an honest and upright official in history. Zhao Ji felt that the other party was good, but he did not give all rights to the other party. People can change, and Li Gang also has his own limitations.

Of course, these are just plans, and Zhao Ji has no plans to implement them immediately.

It is true that he is the emperor, but there are many things that need to find an opportunity, otherwise it will not be carried out.

In addition to this standardization, Zhao Ji still has many things to discuss with Zhou Yue, "Does Zhou Aiqing have any views on steel refining?"

Zhou Yue sorted out his mind, thought about it, and quickly said, "Your Majesty, we in the Song Dynasty have adopted the coal iron-making method, which can make a large amount of iron. There are seventy-seven iron smelters, which are distributed in many places. The products are rich, God bless the Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Ji waved his hand and interrupted the other party's praise, "Tell me about the shortcomings!"

Now Zhou Yue knows that His Majesty is here for the exam. Fortunately, he has not had much to do in the past few years. He is studying some things in the Ministry of Industry and wants to gain His Majesty's favor. I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

"Your Majesty, through constant conversations with the craftsmen, Wei Chen has seen the iron making in person, and he has indeed discovered something. On the one hand, the quantity of smelted iron has greatly increased, but the quality is not good. It is not hard enough and is relatively brittle. On the one hand, there is the problem of transportation, iron products are relatively heavy, and transportation every year is a big problem!”

Zhao Ji nodded, and he couldn't do anything about transportation for the time being.

"This requires a lot of experimentation, adding different ores, refining various things, raising the temperature, and building a blast furnace. This is a sketch I drew. You can refer to it and try to let skilled craftsmen experiment. Everything is After the experiment is completed and there is a good response, the expansion should not be started blindly. I want to test it myself!"

Zhao Ji recorded some of the things he knew, including metering tools, refinement controls, and iron-making blast furnaces, on paper.

Zhou Yue was shocked by these things. He didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to have talent in this area. Didn't His Majesty always like painting and calligraphy, when did he change to carpentry?

"Weichen understands," Zhou Yue bowed his head.

"Well, there is one more point, it must be kept secret, and the number of people who know it must be strictly controlled. If this is spread, you can bring it up and see it!" Zhao Ji's last sentence made no secret of it, and the doctor has already thrown it aside. , showing his determination.

Zhou Yue immediately took the idea of ​​secrecy deep into his heart, and he didn't want to be beheaded. After Cai Jing and others were sent to join the army, none of these ministers doubted His Majesty's determination.

Although Zhao Ji has some sense of urgency in his heart, many things cannot be done in a hurry, and can only be done step by step.

In addition to dealing with government affairs, he is practicing qigong, and drinking a cup of demigod spring every day, Zhao Ji's qigong has improved rapidly. Of course, pampering the harem is also something Zhao Ji must do, otherwise Song Huizong left him three thousand concubines and put them there.

If you change a concubine every day, it will take about ten years for 3,000 people to come round. Most of the palace maids here are still perfect, because Song Huizong simply does not have such a great ability to spoil them all. So this arduous and great task fell to Zhao Ji. Fortunately, he has an extraordinary physique now, and he has also practiced Da Wu Xiang Gong, and he has Lin Lingsu's contribution to the room-in-the-room technique, and there is no problem with singing every night.

Yunji Seven Signs is indeed a secret technique in the room, but obviously it can't increase the skill, let alone immortality, but there is no problem in strengthening the essence and cultivating the vitality.

The main government affairs were handled almost the same, and Empress Zheng shared half of the memorial, so Zhao Ji could spend freely. Not only did he linger in the harem, but he also often went to Li Shishi, recited poems against each other, played on the streets, and lived a very leisurely and happy life!

In the recent period, the officials have not been dismissed much, so all ministers are relieved.
