Chapter 929 Must form a group(1/2)
Palace!
"Your Majesty, since the opening of the Grand Canal, north-south transportation has become increasingly dependent on waterways, especially transporting grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the north. This waterway can be said to be the only choice. Therefore, since the Emperor Taizong, the court has begun to build ships on a large scale. However, today's shipbuilding technology has not made any breakthroughs compared to the previous dynasty. Craftsmen still have to soak in water to build ships, which is extremely harmful to the body of craftsmen. Moreover, they have to prevent unbuilt ships from being washed away by the water and have to be guarded by people all the time. It can be said that it is a waste of money and the construction is very slow. This problem has always troubled the Ministry of Works."
I saw an old man in his fifties standing in the hall and saying to Li Zhi with a depressed look on his face.
This person is Yan Liben, the Minister of Works.
On the one hand, the Tang Dynasty learned from the Sui Dynasty's lessons and tried to avoid large-scale construction, which wasted the people's money and let the people go to farm and recuperate. However, on the other hand, they wanted to build ships because Jiangnan had just risen during this period, and transportation between the north and the south was really important for domestic politics.
In short, I want to be a **** and set up a archway.
Then it would be very difficult for the Ministry of Works to be caught in it. On the one hand, the court demanded that more ships be added, and the court would stand and speak without a headache. But on the other hand, the Ministry of Works also had to estimate the health of the craftsmen and could not do it like the Sui Dynasty. If the public anger arouses public anger, the court would use the Ministry of Works to calm the public anger. It was really not a person inside or outside. This is why Yan Liben immediately went to Han Yi to hear the news.
Li Zhi nodded, with a hint of confusion on his face. This was all the old tunes and said, "Your dear words are reasonable, but I wonder if you have any idea of a solution?"
Yan Liben said: "The weak minister was incompetent and could not come up with a solution, but the royal envoy seemed to have thought of a solution."
Li Zhi said in surprise: "Are you serious?"
Yan Liben said: "The young Confucius 3, which has been staged recently, is the problem." At this point, he suddenly stopped.
Li Zhi was stunned and said, "Why don't you continue talking?"
Yan Liben said with a sad face: "But the empress often comes to ask for advice, and the royal envoy is not at home, and he doesn't know where to go."
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then frowned. What tricks did this kid play? He was also having a headache when he saw Han Yi and had too many ideas. He said, "Dear, please don't worry, can that kid still put on his wings and fly? I will ask someone to find him immediately now."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
.
Feng Feilou!
"Oh! It's Young Master Zhang! Please come in quickly."
"Tea Five, can the special envoy be at home?"
Zhang Desheng and Cha Wu are old acquaintances, and they are not polite to him.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone inside heard someone say, "Oh! Zhang Shaojian is here, Han Yi is in a position to welcome him. I wish you guilty, forgive me!"
Who is it not Han Yi?
When Zhang Desheng saw Han Yi, he was slightly shocked. Isn’t this at home? He said, “Special envoy, where have you been there these days?”
Han Yi said oh, "I went to the construction site outside for a walk. The young supervisor asked me for what I do."
Zhang Desheng disbelief, looked at this guy with a despise and said, "It's not our family looking for you, it's His Majesty looking for you." At this point, he couldn't help but mutter, "It's really hard for you to ask!"
Han Yi shouldn't hear it.
Han Yi dared not to go if the emperor invited him.
Han Yi followed Zhang Desheng to the study.
"I am here to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Zhi looked at Han Yi unhappily, and it was rare to ask more questions. If he didn't ask, he knew that this kid could find hundreds of reasons to swear him. It was a waste of time. He said straight to the point: "I heard that your young Confucius has been released to the third episode."
A smile flashed in Han Yi's eyes and said, "That's right, I really didn't expect that Your Majesty would be interested in this."
Li Zhi smiled and said without a smile: "Is that so? Why do I feel that you should have thought that I would be interested in this long ago."
Han Yi was stunned and said, "Why did Your Majesty say this?"
"Okay! I don't want to talk nonsense to you today."
Li Zhi glared slightly and said, "I ask you, this episode of the young Confucius tells the story of shipbuilding."
“That’s right.”
"Is that really useful?" Li Zhi asked a little urgently.
This shipbuilding technique was indeed very important to the Tang Dynasty.
"I don't know."
Han Yi shook his head and said.
Li Zhidao: "Isn't this story you came up with?"
"It was thought of by Weichen."
Han Yi said: "But Weichen thinks it is a story, not a reality. Weichen only grasps the theoretical basis. I am not sure whether it is actually feasible."
Li Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Take it serious?"
He thought his turtle-like aura could scare Han Yi, but Han Yi was not afraid at all, and said, "I dare not hide it."
Li Zhi's eyes closed, he looked at Han Yi in confusion, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's do this, go and discuss this with the Minister of Works. You must understand that shipbuilding is very important to the country."
Han Yi was a little hesitant.
Li Zhi was very upset and said, "What? Isn't it okay?"
"Of course not."
Han Yi said: "I am afraid that my teacher will be laughed at by the Minister of Works. I have a suggestion, but I don't know if it is feasible."
You know you have a request! Li Zhizhen wanted to curse and said angrily: "Say!"
Han Yi said: "Why don't your Majesty let the Ministry of Works go to Fengfei Building to watch the young Confucius together? If the Minister of Works thinks this is really feasible, let's discuss it again. If the Minister of Works thinks it is not feasible, then just give the Ministry of Works a vacation. Weichen will not charge the ticket fee."
This ticket is just a penny.
Li Zhi was a little puzzled when he heard this and said, "Aren't you doing this extravagantly?"
"It's definitely not the case." Han Yi said: "Weichen mainly conceived a drama. The shipbuilding technique was born for drama. The essence of the content is in drama. If you rely on the Weichen to speak with your mouth, you may not be able to explain it clearly. If you talk about it for a day, it may be better to watch the young Confucius."
Li Zhi was a little confused and seemed to make some sense, but after thinking about it carefully, it was too unreasonable. But he knew that Han Yi was asking for a reward. If he didn't agree to him, he would definitely find a way to go around. It would be better to promise him to save trouble and said, "Since that's the case, then as you say, I hope your young Confucius can help the Ministry of Works solve this problem."
Speaking of the latter, there was a bit of threat in my tone. I asked the Ministry of Works to go to your place to watch the drama. If I haven't seen a name yet, where will my dragon face be placed? I don't know where to put my face, and you can't think of any place to put your head.
Han Yi did not accept the challenge and said, "Weichen hopes that this is the case."
When he returned to Fengfei Tower, Han Yi immediately called Cha Wu and said, "Chia Wu! You immediately released the news, saying that the Minister of Works hopes to take over Fengfei Tower and form a group to see the young Confucius."
Tea five sounded "ah".
Han Yi said: "What, I have something to say."
Cha Wuyi was stunned and nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I understand."
Han Yi said: "But you have to remember to make it a little more mysterious. Don't use a positive tone to promote it, but you should use the way of rumor. You might as well say that the Minister of Works is consulting with me and hopes to come to see the young Confucius. But our Fengfei Tower has its own rules. The next battle will be a month later. For this reason, the Minister of Works will go to ask His Majesty for this. This matter is still being discussed. In short, you have to say that it seems to be there or not."
Cha Wu pondered it carefully, nodded and said, "I understand."
"Then go!"
In fact, Cha Wu has always done the job of being the eight generals of the thousand-door leagues, and is just a specialist in spreading rumors. Now he has passed the exam and can barely go out to cheat with Han Yi.
The news spread quickly.
Of course, the poor family was very happy. The young Confucius represented the new Confucianism, that is, the Six Scholars of the Sages. Now the Ministry of Works has to form a group to see the Young Confucius. It can be seen that the Six Scholars of the Scholars have been recognized by the court and have fulfilled Han Yi's original promise. The Ministry of Works is a major demander for the Six Scholars of the Scholars.
However, the gentry said that these are all rumors. After all, there are loopholes in these news. Even if the young Confucius was really helpful to the work of the Ministry of Works, the Minister of Works would just ask Han Yi for advice. Why do you have to form a group to see it? Isn’t this a waste of time? Isn’t it too much to ask the emperor to come forward? The key is that Han Yi doesn’t buy it. You don’t even buy the emperor’s account. How many brains do you have? This is really fake. Therefore, the children of the gentry criticized the shameless family for their lack of IQ and believe such rumors.
Some people say that this is all news released by Han Yi, who wanted to deliberately upend the young Confucius.
There was endless debate between the two sides.
When the time is almost done, Han Yi released another news that the Ministry of Works will form a group to visit Fengfei Tower to watch the young Confucius 3 in two days.
At this moment, some rumors were also released from the Ministry of Works that they did want to form a group to see the young Confucius, and it was requested by the above.
But it was limited to rumors. To be honest, after such a fuss, the officials of the Ministry of Works were actually not ashamed to see the young Confucius, and everyone was not willing to speak out. Li Zhi was even more unlikely to admit all this, and this was limited to his communication with the Minister of Works.
But even so, the poor families were immediately excited, and the children of the gentry kept stinging themselves. This was a rumor, and this was impossible.
Then whether it is true or false depends on two days later.
It's not long.
By this day, early in the morning, many people came to Beixiang to watch, including common people and nobles.
"Look at me!"
I saw a man pointing at Feng Fei’s corridor.
Everyone looked around and saw a long banner hanging on the eaves of Fengfei Tower with a line of big words written on it - warmly welcome the officials of the Ministry of Works to come here to study!
study!
This is a bit big!
The Ministry of Works, among the six departments, actually came to Beixiang to study.
It's true and fake!
The people were shocked.
To be continued...
