Chapter 12 Ministry of Industry

Zhangtai Palace! Chaotian Palace!

Ying Zheng led the ministers into the imperial court hall, and the ministers knelt in two columns, and Ying Zheng knelt on the top.

Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers, and his eyes stayed on the three old men in the main hall near the door of the hall, the three old men were wearing coarse linen clothes, and they looked indifferent and calm, and the three of them seemed to be frequent visitors to this Chaotian Palace.

However, Ying Zheng still saw a hint of unnaturalness in their faces.

Half a year ago, when Yingzheng ascended the throne, he issued an edict to establish the House of Elders, and all elders were directly or indirectly elected by the people. After half a year, under the auspices of the Cabinet, nine highly respected elders were elected from all over the country to preside over the House of Elders.

The three elders are Wei Guo, the eldest elder of the Elders' House, Wei Ming, the second elder, and Ren De, the third elder. Today is the first time that the three elders have entered the court, exercising their right to observe the court meeting, in fact, they are still a little nervous and scared, some of them are commoners, some are down-and-out nobles, they are all people who have never seen much of the world, from the lowest level of the people to become a member of this hall, the gap in their hearts and the gap in their status make them uncomfortable.

Since the establishment of the House of Elders of the Qin State, Yingzheng's status in the hearts of the people can be said to be directly after the two most wise monarchs recognized by the Qin State, Xiao Gong and Qin Mu Gong.

Half a year ago, Ying Zheng also stipulated that the family members of each Qin State soldier could receive ten yuan per month from the government, and this news spread to the army and caused a great sensation.

Some of the soldiers' families also wrote this matter into a letter sent to the soldiers' families after getting the money, and some soldiers in the army who doubted the authenticity of this matter completely believed that Ying Zheng really did this, and since then Ying Zheng's status in the hearts of the soldiers of the Qin State has surpassed that of the Qin State God of War Bai Qi.

If any general wants to lead the soldiers to rebel, without Ying Zheng's order, the soldiers will not hesitate to cut off the general's head and send it to Ying Zheng, which is such an exaggeration.

A few months ago, Ying Zheng used Yingxi to plot rebellion, and wiped out all the moths in the DPRK and China that withheld the money and silk of the families of the fallen soldiers, implicating thousands of people, Ying Zheng was ruthless and did not hesitate to order all of them to be executed.

Let the ministers of the DPRK and China really understand that although Yingzheng is only nine years old, daring to touch his scales is definitely a ruthless and ruthless master, and he is both in awe and afraid of Yingzheng and his ministers.

Ying Zheng retracted his gaze and nodded imperceptibly at Shang Ying, who understood what Ying Zheng meant.

The six-part system was negotiated and formulated by Ying Zheng and Shang Ying.

In fact, it was Yingzheng who guided Shang Ying, and let Shang Ying supplement and improve the six-part system by himself, and the six-part system Shang Ying has been formulated to improve the details of all aspects. The only thing to do is to change the law and replace the existing Imperial Governor's Mansion, Imperial History Mansion, General's Mansion, Sikou Mansion and Guozheng Jian of the Qin State with six departments.

In order not to shake the foundation of the Qin State and prevent the backlash of the ministers of the court, he and Yingzheng could only come step by step, and now there is a perfect opportunity, thinking of these Shang Ying is a little excited.

Shang Ying's own official position has been made the first assistant of the cabinet, which is the pinnacle of the official position of the Qin State, and he has no promotion if he goes up, and he has the power of glory, wealth and wealth, and these things can no longer satisfy his heart.

What he wants to pursue now is to hope that he can contribute to the road to becoming stronger for the Qin State, if the Qin State can once again preside over the change of the law by himself, then he will become the first giant of the Legalist family, ten thousand years later, when the descendants mention the Legalist, how can they not mention that the reason why the Qin State can dominate the world is because of the solid backing of the Legalist Shang Ying's second change of the law, this sentence is what Yingzheng said to him, and he firmly remembered it in his heart.

Retracting his thoughts, Shang Ying stood up and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty: Since the filial piety of my Qin State, the ministers of the Qin State have used their abilities to speak, and they have served with merit. Today, Lu Ban's invention of the organ plow, which will make a contribution to the country for a thousand years, solve the hunger of the people, and will make the Qin State no longer starve to death. It is unavoidable. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "What Shang Shoufu said is very true, I don't know what Shoufu suggests?"

The ministers of the DPRK and China also looked at Shang Ying, not knowing what kind of reward he would propose. As for the generals Meng Fu and Bai Qi, they were watching from the sidelines, and in the past six months, they also understood some of Yingzheng's intentions, that is, government affairs did not want their generals to interfere, and the same military affairs were not willing to let Wenchen interfere, and everyone had a tacit understanding of non-interference.

Shang Ying also noticed that many eyes were looking at him, and he didn't care. He also spoke: "The minister implores the king to set up a department called the Ministry of Works, and the highest governor of the Ministry of Works is the secretary of the Ministry of Works. Lu Ban served as the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and the work part was the same as the Imperial Governor's Mansion and the Imperial History Mansion. Ministry of Industry: In charge of Qin State projects, craftsmen, tuntian, water conservancy, transportation and other government decrees, etc.

"......"

Many courtiers took a deep breath.

As soon as Shang Ying's words came out, it caused an uproar in the court, and the engineering, craftsmen, tuntian, water conservancy, and transportation were all in charge of five people in the Qin State, which was under the control of the Prime Minister's Office, and now it is managed by the cabinet. It is indeed a bit surprising that Shang Ying wants to classify it as one.

Lu Ban was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Shang Ying to ask Yingzheng to set up a Ministry of Industry, and also let him be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Although he was surprised and delighted, he still pretended to be nothing, and let the few eyes that stayed on him find nothing.

No matter what the ministers think, it is imperative for Yingzheng to establish the Ministry of Industry, and he said: "What Shang Qing said is reasonable, engineering, craftsmen, tuntian, water conservancy, and transportation should be integrated, and merging into the Ministry of Industry will be more conducive to management and mutual cooperation." After finishing speaking, he looked down and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

The ministers who knelt behind him came out and saluted: "Your Majesty, the ministers do not agree with what the first assistant said. ”

Ying Zheng didn't have the slightest emotional fluctuation, and looked at the man with a pair of deep and bottomless eyes: "What is the opinion of the craftsman order?"

Although Yingzheng did not express his dissatisfaction, the craftsman Ling bent his waist lower, and stood up with some regret.

The craftsman makes him feel like a boat under the rough sea, which can be sunk at any moment, and there will be no return.

Seeing this scene, Zheng He, who was next to Ying Zheng, thought in his heart that his king was really a natural king, and he had only been on the throne for half a year, and the momentum of the person in power made even the ministers of the court tremble and be shocked.

He was a little unwilling to retreat like this, and the craftsman Ling stiffened his head and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty: The functions of the Ministry of Industry are the same as those of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, and they are in a high position. Management experience is also required. I am afraid that Master Luban will not be able to take on this heavy responsibility. ”

Ying Zheng looked at Shang Ying again and said, "What does Shang Jun think?"

Shang Ying thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Luban's organ technique can only be compared with the Mo family giants, and he is the best candidate for the Ministry of Industry. As for the management experience, there are thousands of disciples and craftsmen of the public loser, and they are not also well organized under the management of the patriarch Lu Ban. ”

Ying Zheng looked around the hall and said, "Which Qing family still has a different opinion?" and then stopped at the craftsman Ling.

Craftsman Ling hurriedly said: "The minister has no objection. As he spoke, he hurriedly returned to his futon and knelt down, so fast that it seemed as if there was a terrifying beast beside him.

The Datian Ling of the Imperial Horse Farm stood up and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor: Although Lu Ban is talented, if the Ministry of Industry is established, he will be in charge of hundreds of thousands of people in the Qin State, and the major affairs of the country are not trivial, please think twice!"

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "What Datian Ling said is reasonable, since this is the case, there is another staff department attendant under the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Industry is the deputy of the Ministry of Works, assisting the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to manage the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. ”

"Really?"

Datian ordered: "The king is wise, and the ministers have no objections. ”

"The ministers have no objections!" said the ministers.

Seeing that the ministers of the DPRK and China agreed, Ying Zheng said: "From now on, Daqin will set up a post in the Ministry of Industry, and there will be four other departments under the Ministry of Industry, namely: the Ministry of Industry, the Construction Department, the Manufacturing Department, and the Innovation Department, and the director of the four divisions is Langzhong." Engineering and craftsmen are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, Tuntian, Water Conservancy, and Transportation Construction Division, and the Manufacturing Department is only responsible for manufacturing things that need to be manufactured in large quantities, such as organ plows, and the Innovation Division: Pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, inventing and creating useful things for the people of the country. ”

His Royal Highness's Zhang Yi and others did not sigh that Yingzheng was really a genius, and the Ministry of Industry was divided by him in this way, which was clearly organized and had clear functions, and the work was really different from before.

Ying Zheng didn't know what the ministers thought, he just wanted to build a strong Qin State, and whoever stood in the way would die. Of course, he will not be overbearing and arbitrary, that is the way to death.

Ying Zheng continued: "Feng Luban is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the former Datian Lingle is the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry is Huamao, the construction division is Chen Qi, the manufacturing division is the public loser, and the innovation division is Gongsun Yang. ”

Lu Ban, the original engineering Ling Huamao, the craftsman Ling Chen Qi, the Tuntian Ling Lezheng, the water conservancy Ling Gong Zhilong, and the traffic Ling Gongsun Yang, a total of six people stood up and bowed down and said: "The ministers thank the king, and the ministers should do their best to repay the king's kindness." ”

Among them, the most unexpected was Ling Chenqi, the craftsman who stood up against Shang Yang just now, he stood up against it was indeed selfish, he thought that Ying Zheng would give him small shoes to wear, but he didn't expect Ying Zheng to treat him equally.

"The king's mind is really not what I can imagine" This is Chen Qi's true thoughts at this time, looking at the nine-year-old king, an idea popped up in his heart, maybe the Qin State will destroy the six kingdoms under the leadership of the king and dominate the world, he was also taken aback by his own thoughts, but the more likely it is.

The six thanked them and sat down in their seats, their happy faces still on their faces.

"Report ......"

The voice of a janissary rang out from the main hall.

Zheng He, who was beside Ying Zheng, quickly walked out of the side passage, and led the guards from the door of the main hall in a moment. Walking to the center, the guards saluted and said: "Your Majesty: Two people outside the palace said that they were summoned by the king and were waiting outside the palace, and their subordinates came to report. ”

"Coming" Ying Zheng was overjoyed, one was Wei Ran, and the other was Shangsheng Fan Li, who Shen Wansan invited back. It has been three months since Fan Li arrived in Qin, and when he learned that Yingzheng invited him to come to Qinguo as an official, he only said that he needed to think about it, and Yingzheng didn't say anything.

Zhao Gao's net has begun to bear fruit, Ju Yingzheng knows that the Six Sword Slaves and the Black and White Xuanjian have been recruited, and Fan Li's every move in Xianyang City Yingzheng knows everything through the net. Fan Li has always been aware of the Cabinet and the House of Elders.

According to the analysis of the intelligence in hand, the possibility that Fan Li is willing to stay as an official is very high, so yesterday Ying Zheng sent someone to invite the two to come to the court today, and they are really both here, and the plan behind can begin, Ying Zheng secretly thought to himself.

"Xuan" Yingzheng said lightly, others could simply look at his face and see the true thoughts in his heart.

The "No" Praetorian Guard saluted and withdrew.
