Liu Xiaoyi was very unconvinced, but he just didn't speak, last time he was punished by his family for saying the wrong thing, and now he doesn't care about what he says.

This time, Liu Pingzhong brought him over, hoping that Qin Huaidao would be able to open up to Liu Xiaoyi, but Liu Pingzhong felt bad when he saw Qin Huaidao's calm face.

"Well, I will continue to let him come over next year to take the Enko exam, but, Pepin, this incident has had a great impact on him, and now in his hometown, he is also laughed at,

So, Peping, I don't know if I can let him continue to stay in the capital, and I can give him guidance! Liu Pingzhong sat there and spoke.

"Don't ask me what I mean by this uncle, I can't care if he is not, after all, he is your son." Qin Huaidao heard it and looked at Liu Pingzhong with a smile,

In my heart, I thought that it was not necessarily a good thing for such a person to stay by his side, but Liu Pingzhong insisted on staying, so he had no choice, anyway, he was not his son, and if something happened, it had nothing to do with him.

"This!" Liu Pingzhong didn't get a positive answer from Qin Huaidao's side, so he hesitated a little, he brought Liu Xiaoyi over this time, just hoping to get Qin Huaidao's understanding, but from the current point of view, Qin Huaidao did not understand Liu Xiaoyi.

"Xiaoli, you are on duty at the Ministry of Works, and I've been busy lately, but what have you gained?" Qin Huaidao turned his head to look at Liu Xiaoli and asked.

"Hui Shilang, it's okay, the main thing is that there are too many things to learn, and many things, I still don't understand, but fortunately, someone teaches me!" Liu Xiaoli replied respectfully.

"Well, keep studying, you can't be on your own without a year or two, now, ask as many other people as you can, I'm sure they will teach you!" Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile and said,

Liu Xiaoli is in the Ministry of Industry, and his reputation is very good, this Qin Huaidao also knows, and Zhang Liang is also optimistic about this child, saying that he is stable and sensible, and does not mess around.

"Keep in mind the teachings of the squire, but I heard that pig iron and salt may be transferred to our Ministry of Industry, I wonder if the squire has this news?" Liu Xiaoli looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"Pig iron and table salt? Isn't it in the Ministry of Civil Affairs? Why should it be included in our Ministry of Engineering? When Qin Huaidao heard this, he looked at him strangely and asked,

I didn't have this news, I haven't bothered about the affairs of the court for a while, what happened, Qin Huaidao doesn't know, Qin Huaidao hasn't read it for several days, and he doesn't have that time.

"I also heard this rumor, but there is no confirmed news, that is, I heard the news from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, saying that their opinions are very big, pig iron and salt are a big benefit of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if they are classified into the Ministry of Industry, the loss of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be very large, anyway, this matter, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is boiling over." Liu Xiaoli continued to tell Qin Huaidao the news he knew.

"There is such a thing, however, if you want to draw it, Your Majesty will definitely share the profits, I estimate, for our Ministry of Industry, it is not necessarily a good thing,

Therefore, the Ministry of Industry still has to consider whether to do it, and pig iron may not be enough, and the output of pig iron has not been able to rise, which is also a place that everyone has been criticizing. Qin Huaidao nodded and analyzed carefully,

When it comes to the Ministry of Industry, it is impossible for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to have no benefits, and for the Ministry of Industry, these two things may not be a good thing, Qin Huaidao They also have to consider whether they want to or not.

"It seems to say that we want the Ministry of Industry to give the Ministry of Civil Affairs 500,000 yuan a year." Liu Xiaoli continued to say to Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao heard it and laughed: "Don't, resolutely don't, we can't agree to this matter, 500,000 yuan, what are we going to do?" Nothing good other than being able to increase the number of people,

Even if you can make money, you can't make a few dollars, it's not enough to worry about, now our workshops make enough money every year, and now they still have opinions from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and we still have opinions from the Ministry of Industry! ”

"Yes, many people here in the Ministry of Industry also mean the same thing, what are you going to do? Our workshop will not make a profit of less than 150,000 yuan per month, but we don't need these two things! Qin Huaidao said with a smile,

And Liu Pingzhong on the side smiled bitterly, he was in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he knew the news from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he didn't have a chance to speak at all, just the two of them to talk about it.

"Uncle, is this news true?" Qin Huaidao turned his head to look at Liu Pingzhong and asked.

"It's true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is operating this matter, and he went to find Tang Shangshu and Zhang Shangshu before!" Liu Pingzhong nodded tomorrow and said, confirming that there is such a thing.

"It is estimated that the two Shangshu will not agree, one is reluctant to take those profits, and the other is too lazy to worry, our Ministry of Industry is really not short of money now." Qin Huaidao took the words and said,

At this time, the steward came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come down.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down, please!" When Qin Huaidao heard this, he stood up and said to the housekeeper.

"Pepin, then let's go to the side room first?" Liu Pingzhong and the others also stood up, compare, the prince is not for anyone, he can only see you if he wants to, if he doesn't want to see you, you can't come over.

"No, I'll talk to His Highness in the study later!" Qin Huaidao smiled and waved his hand and said, Soon, Li Chengqian came in with someone.

"I've seen Your Highness!" Qin Huaidao saluted Li Chengqian with his fists in his fist and said.

"Well, excuse me, I didn't want to bother you, I know that you have been busy for the past two days, but there is really something to do, so I can only..."Li Chengqian looked at Qin Huaidao with a wry smile and said.

"Please, let's go to the minister's study and talk." Qin Huaidao said to Li Chengqian with a smile, and soon, the two of them arrived at Qin Huaidao's study, and Qin Huaidao made him tea.

"This time I came over, mainly because of my father's meaning, before I reported to my father, saying that this year's pig iron is not enough, until now, the gap is very large, my father said, leave it to you to do, but this is not in the Ministry of Industry, it is in the Ministry of Civil Affairs,

Therefore, the father means that the pig iron and salt will be transferred to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry will pay 500,000 yuan to the Ministry of Household every year. Where Li Chengqian was sitting, he looked at Qin Huaidao and said,

When Qin Huaidao heard it, it was indeed this matter.

"What do you mean, Your Highness? Let me convince both of them? Qin Huaidao looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

"Well, only you can convince the two of them, the two of them, they still attach great importance to you, and they can listen to your words!" Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"I think it's difficult, Your Highness, let's not talk about the Ministry of Industry, let's talk about the Ministry of Civil Affairs, how many people are involved in these two reasons, now that our Ministry of Industry is even in the pot, can the Ministry of Civil Affairs agree?

For them, this matter has already been self-contained, and we are now taking it over, and it is bound to be more than the interests of many people, so to speak, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will not agree.

The other is the Ministry of Industry, the enthusiasm of the Ministry of Industry is not high, because pig iron and salt, for us, it is chicken ribs, it is a pity to abandon the tasteless food, and we have to bear a debt of 500,000 yuan every year.

Although it is said that some official positions can be increased, the current officials of the Ministry of Industry are not enough, and the income of those workshops is also good, which is not very attractive to the officials of the Ministry of Industry. Qin Huaidao sat there and analyzed it for Li Chengqian,

Li Chengqian frowned and considered.

"So, it's difficult to get this thing done." Qin Huaidao continued.

"Well, but there is not enough pig iron, for the army, it is not a good thing, a lot of weapons and armor, but it needs to be updated, this year's pig iron production is actually okay, but the consumption is too great." Li Chengqian looked at Qin Huaidao and said.

"Your Highness, you don't want me to take care of pig iron, do you? Increasing yields? Qin Huaidao understood what he meant at the moment, did His Majesty want to let him manage pig iron and salt?

"Well, that's right, that's what my father meant, handing it over to the Ministry of Industry is actually handing it over to you, the supply of pig iron is insufficient, and the impact is great.

In terms of salt, the output has always been insufficient, and the price of salt remains high, which means that if the salt production is enough, the price must be lowered, and it cannot be said that the people can't even afford salt! Li Chengqian told Qin Huaidao what the purpose of this was doing.

After Qin Huaidao heard this, he really couldn't cry or laugh, he couldn't be busy, and he had to let himself supervise pig iron and salt.

"Difficult?" Li Chengqian looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"It's not difficult, you can put this aside first, Your Highness, do you think I have this time?

I'm too busy this day, there are so many workshops in the Ministry of Industry that need to be inspected, the university, the paper mill, and the printing plant, I haven't been to see it yet! Qin Huaidao looked at Li Chengqian with a wry smile and said,

When Li Chengqian heard it, he also smiled and nodded, indeed, Qin Huaidao had too many things to take care of.

"I just said that I don't want to be this squire, my father wants me to be, I just want to hide in the house and rest." Qin Huaidao then shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Well, I know what you're thinking, but this can't be done, now this matter of pig iron and salt really needs you to supervise, in addition, these two things are not so simple, I guess the fourth child is meddling in it." Li Chengqian then looked at Qin Huaidao and said.

"What do you mean? Is there an interest in it? When Qin Huaidao heard this, he stared at Li Chengqian and asked.

"Well, when I mentioned this matter this time, not only the Ministry of Civil Affairs opposed it, but many ministers in the court opposed it, and even my uncle opposed it!" Li Chengqian nodded and said with a wry smile.

"No reason, right? He still dared to object, didn't he come to soften before? Qin Huaidao was even more incomprehensible, not long after he came to serve softly, he began to oppose Li Chengqian, what kind of operation is this?
