Chapter 509 Subcontracted Works

"This matter is simple and simple, and it is troublesome to say that it is troublesome, and if you want to solve this problem completely, you still need the nod of Your Majesty!"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Yin slowly spoke.

"Forgive the official for being stupid, and I hope that the master of the horse will make it clear!"

After hearing that there was a solution, Zhou Lun immediately became interested, even if this matter required Li Er's nod, it didn't matter.

"It's very simple, as long as some insignificant projects are contracted to the people, and the Ministry of Industry is only responsible for some technical work, won't it completely solve the problem?"

This method has been widely used in later generations, and there are many ways to do it and how big a bowl of rice you eat.

After all, people's energy is limited, and it is impossible to do everything, so there is a bidding to hand over the appropriate project to professional people to do.

In this way, a lot of manpower and material resources can be saved, and even the service industry can be saved, and the imperial court can also buy from the people.

For example, if the goods in the Jiangnan area cannot be transported back at one time by the ships of the imperial court, the imperial court can hire ships from the private sector to send the goods to Chang'an.

In this way, the imperial court not only saves manpower, but also saves financial resources, and can also make the people have an extra income!

Since the transportation of goods can be purchased, then the project can naturally be also, at the moment, Zhao Yin carefully told Zhou Lun about this set of plans.

"Wonderful! The master of the horse is really shocked, and Weichen will go to the palace to meet His Majesty! ”

After hearing Zhao Yin's words, Zhou Lun's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Such a business model is simply unheard of for him, but every word can touch his heart.

Not long after Zhou Lun left, the guards ran in again and said that Liu Hong was happy to see him.

"Let him in!"

This guy was handpicked by Li Er to go down to the south of the Yangtze River and led the craftsmen there to make pointed-bottom sailboats, which can be said to be a step to the sky among the craftsmen.

"Xiaguan Liu Hongxi has seen the horse master!"

He was originally a craftsman in the shipyard outside Chang'an, but because he was studious, he could see the drawings given by Zhao Yin thoroughly, so in the process of shipbuilding, his talent was thoroughly displayed.

"What are you doing here today?"

Zhao Yin looked at him suspiciously, he was just a craftsman in the past, so the two didn't have any intersection at all, and I really didn't know why he came to find him.

"Your Majesty has appointed a certain person as a squire of the Ministry of Works, and went to Jiangnan to supervise the shipbuilding."

Liu Hongxi didn't get up, and still respectfully saluted Zhao Yin.

"Congratulations to Liu Shilang."

Zhao Yin had a smile on his face, he had already guessed the purpose of this person's coming here.

"Xiaguan is here to thank the concubine for his love, if it weren't for the recommendation of the concubine, it would be absolutely impossible for the subordinate to sit in this position."

You must know that it has only been long since he was promoted from an ordinary craftsman to a master craftsman, and now he has become a squire, and if he goes further, it is the position of Shangshu, that is, the status of the marquis and the prime minister.

"If you don't have that talent, this colt won't recommend you!"

Zhao Yin hurriedly waved his hand, this matter was simply a matter of words for him.

"The master of the horse is praised, and the officials are ashamed!"

As Zhao Yin expected, Liu Hongxi came this time and made a special trip to express his gratitude.

Early the next morning, Zhou Lun visited Zhao Yin again with an excited face, for no other reason, because His Majesty had already made a mistake in purchasing services from the people.

Originally, Li Er was very dissatisfied with this proposal, but later heard that this proposal was made by the horse, so he reluctantly listened to it.

But it didn't matter when he heard it, when he thoroughly understood the intention of purchasing the service, Li Er immediately made a decision and was approved.

If you don't do something that can save expenses and improve efficiency, then he is really a dumbfounder.

And Datang is now the time to employ people, such a choice will not bury talents, good steel must be used on the blade!

"It's a good thing and it's worth celebrating."

Zhao Yin nodded and said with a smile.

"There is no hurry to celebrate, the lower officials came this time, mainly because of His Majesty's will, to inquire about the specific matters of the purchase of services for the horses, can there be a detailed plan?"

Zhou Lun saluted Zhao Yin again, such a whimsical idea, I am afraid that the entire Tang Dynasty will be able to come up with it.

"This is simple, wait for the pony to be sorted out, and let someone send it to you!"

Zhao Yin did not refuse.

Since this suggestion was made by him, then he believes that there will be no one in the entire Datang who is more familiar with this operation process than him.

"Thank you, colt!"

Seeing him nodding, Zhou Lun's hanging heart finally let go.

After all the problems were solved, Zhao Yin thought that he could finally be quiet for a while and study the way of reproduction.

But after a few days of stopping, the railway, which had been going well, had problems and the progress was very slow.

"Didn't I tell you to try to avoid those rocks when planning your route?"

As soon as Zhao Yin got up early in the morning, Lin Wu came to ask for a meeting, which made him unhappy.

If it is in the later life, it is natural to meet mountains and open mountains, and build bridges when encountering water.

But in this era, if you want to dig a tunnel or something, it is very difficult, so when the railway first began to be built, he explained the problem of Lin Wu.

But I didn't expect that now he would come to him because of such a thing, how could he not be angry?

"We've avoided the mountains, but they really can't be avoided in order to shorten the distance!"

Lin Wu grimaced.

As the saying goes, there are mountains outside the mountains, and it is impossible for him to avoid all the mountains, in that case, the original 1,000-mile railway may eventually be built into 2,000 or 3,000 miles!

"How far has the railroad been built now?"

In fact, he didn't mean to get angry, but he was woken up early in the morning and got up a little angry.

Now that he's been sitting for a long time, he's calmer!

"It's about four hundred miles!"

Lin Wu folded his fingers and calculated.

"Oops, it's not bad!"

Zhao Yin nodded happily.

This section was originally planned to be completed in three years, but if this progress continues, it is estimated that it will be almost the same by the end of next year!

"But this progress is still a bit slow, and a lot of time is spent moving mountains!"

Lin Wu shook his head, obviously not very satisfied with this progress.

In this era, there was no way to dig a tunnel, and if you wanted to pass through the mountains, you had to dig it manually, so it took a lot of time.

"Well, moving mountains is really too time-consuming!"

Zhao Yin picked up the tea cup on the table, gently blew the tea leaves floating on it, and said thoughtfully.

"Master Pony is resourceful, I don't know what solution there is?"

Lin Wu asked.

They now regard Zhao Yin as a god, and whenever they encounter problems, they all look for him to solve them.

And the amazing thing is that no matter what the problem, he can solve it!
