Section 784 Preparation for War (2)
Out of the Dasi Nong's official residence, Zhang Yue went straight to the east weaving room of the Shaofu.
The Han family Shaofu has three institutions that are specifically responsible for weaving.
The East Weaving Room, the West Weaving Room and the Three Service Offices in Linzi.
Take on different tasks from each other.
The East Weaving Room is a company that specializes in the manufacture of various types of military bedding and quilts for border immigrants.
The so-called East Weaving Room is naturally close to Changle Palace.
Its official residence was built under the palace wall on the east side of Changle Palace, and it was on a grand scale.
In the beginning, there was only one weaving room in the Han Dynasty, which was the East Weaving Room, and there was no distinction between East and West Weaving Rooms at that time.
Because of Empress Lu, things were divided.
The east belongs to Changle, and the west belongs to Weiyang.
They were in the hands of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother.
The scale of the east weaving room is twice that of the west weaving room, with an annual output of more than 100,000 horses of various colors of cloth and silk.
This is also one of the reasons why the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty was able to override the Son of Heaven and have power.
If you have money in your hand, you can naturally win over the ministers of the general school and get a reputation again, of course, you can firmly suppress the Son of Heaven who has just ascended the throne and has not yet established authority.
For example, the late Empress Dowager Dou, when she deposed the new policy of Jianyuan, spent 100,000 horses of cloth and silk and tens of thousands of gold from the treasury of the East Palace at one time to reward the meritorious soldiers of the Southern Army.
and appeased the northern army, so the Chang'an army naturally obeyed the edict of the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, and wiped out the Confucian chaos that brought disaster to the country and the people.
At that time, the East Weaving Room was naturally also rising, overpowering the West Weaving Room and becoming a super institution responsible for the Han family's officials, army and nobles.
But...... That's all old times.
Since Yuanguang, the Son of Heaven has been in power, coercing the great power of the victory in the Xiongnu War, sweeping the world, and the Sacred Heart is arbitrary.
The East Weaving Room naturally could not escape the fate of settling accounts after the autumn and pulling the list.
A large number of powers have been relieved, and a large number of manpower and material resources have been transferred.
Today, it is only the duty to make military bedding for the army and quilts for the border plugs.
Life is naturally tight.
No money, no people, no resources.
Even the official office has not been repaired for 20 years, and the threshold in front of the official office is in tatters.
When Zhang Yue came here, he was a little surprised.
Because, before the Western Dynasty, the weaving industry was like the banking and financial industry in later generations, and it was a fat and oily yamen.
It's really rare to fall into this field.
"Waiting...... "Zhang Yue is coming, of course the Gongsun of Shoushaofu does not dare to slack off, he has already led people to wait in front of the official residence of the East Weaving Room, seeing Zhang Yue's surprised look, Gongsun Yi is also a little embarrassed, and smiles curtly: "The East Weaving Room is appointed by the queen, uphold frugality, so the top and bottom are strictly honest and ......"
Ghosts won't believe this!
Not to mention Zhang Yue.
What kind of virtue is bureaucracy, Zhang Yue is still unclear?
Take Xinfeng's county government as an example, in the past, Xinfeng's finances were poor, and they couldn't even pay the officials' salaries, so they had to rely on manuscript taxes and blame to make money.
But Xinfeng County is still magnificent.
It is said that every tile on the roof of the county government is brand new and specially customized from Shaofu.
The floor is paved with fine nanmu.
Correspondingly, the township schools in three townships and one city in Xinfeng County, except for Yushe Yangli, which can maintain their scale because of Xu Rong, all the township schools in other places are in disrepair.
After Zhang Yue took office, he allocated funds for reconstruction, and at the same time repaid the arrears of township school workers and three old people, so that the Xinfeng township school system could operate again, and there was a sound of reading aloud.
Even the small county government of Xinfeng County is a county government that cannot be poor no matter how poor it is, and no matter how hard it is, it cannot be a bitter county order.
The East Weaving Room has fallen to Si, if it is not deliberately caused by the upper echelons, it is a fool!
Of course, Zhang Yue will not break it.
The purpose of his trip was not to make trouble.
On the contrary, he is here to make friends and find friends.
The East Weaving Room, no matter how down, is also directly under the queen, and it is also the place where the future queen mother is directly led.
If you want to mix it up, of course, you have to bet in advance.
Not to mention, except for the East Weaving Room, no one in the entire Chang'an could help Zhang Yue complete the plan he envisioned.
Therefore, Zhang Yue's face was not red, and his heart did not beat and praised: "The East Weaving Room is really an incorruptible office, if the official offices in the world are as incorruptible as the East Weaving Room, why worry about being well-off?" ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Yi could only smile stupidly.
Under the guidance of Gongsun Yi, Zhang Yue went straight into the East Weaving Room Workshop.
Here, the director of the East Weaving Office and the commander of the Si Cao have been waiting in line.
Because Zhang Yue had already handed over an official document the day before yesterday, saying that he would come to 'inspect and investigate'.
The Son of Heaven inspected the close ministers, and the top and bottom of the East Weaving Room naturally did not dare to slack off.
The day in advance, the cleaning was done, the workshop was prepared, and more than 100 female workers with the best skills in the official office were organized and gathered here to cope with the inspection of the officials.
Accompanied by everyone, Zhang Yue entered the workshop to inspect the weaving situation.
"The East Weaving Room now mainly produces brown cloth and cloth ......" Gongsun Yi, who accompanied him, took Zhang Yue into the production workshop and introduced: "Therefore, there is inevitably some fishy smell in the workshop......
Zhang Yuezi also smelled the lingering smell in the air.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no high-ranking nobles and officials who would come to such a weaving site.
On weekdays, even the officials of the East Weaving Room try not to come if they can.
In order to avoid the smell of fish, so as not to be laughed at.
But when Zhang Yue came, these people had to accompany them.
It's just that their faces are ugly, and they all pray in their hearts that this Zhang Chiyou will leave quickly.
But Zhang Yue's interest is very high.
Not only did I actually inspect the work in the workshop, but I also talked to the women workers and asked them about their work and what they were doing.
This makes a lot of people sit on pins and needles.
But the more Zhang Yue looked at it, the more happy he became.
In this workshop, I stayed for more than an hour, and I still held a small notebook and recorded many things casually before I took people out of the workshop.
When he went out, Zhang Yue was the only one who was smiling and full of joy.
The others were as if they had walked before the ghost gate was closed, and they wanted to go home immediately to bathe and wash.
Zhang Yue turned his head, looked at these people, and shook his head slightly, he knew that the East Weaving Room was going to develop and become a powerful department of the Han Family.
Now all the main officials of the East Weaving Room have to change their positions.
These guys are simply not enough to take on the heavy responsibility.
If we want to engage in technology and improve productivity, we must not use such mediocre talents!
However, these words were buried in his heart.
Turning back to Shangguan Yi, he said, "Uncle Shi, I want to go to see the Son of Heaven, is Uncle Shi willing to go along?" ”
When Gongsun Yi heard this, he immediately swept away his exhaustion, his spirit was shaky, he was full of blood and resurrected, and he was busy saying: "The service is loved, dare not obey your fate?" ”
For Han Shaofu, the distance of the relationship with the Son of Heaven determines their future height and status.
And this relationship is directly proportional to the number of times you are received by the Son of Heaven and the number of times you are praised.
Especially for Dai Shaofu, who has not yet taken off the word 'shou' like Gongsun Yi, we must seize every opportunity to go to the Son of Heaven to brush my face!
