Early the next morning, Chen Ningmo personally found Cui Wenqing, saying that Shangshu Nan Zhengjie of the Ministry of Industry had agreed to the students of Guozijian to visit the Ministry of Industry, and the time was set for tomorrow.

Upon hearing this news, Cui Wenqing was overjoyed, and hurriedly found Sima Wei and others to discuss, and decided to sneak into the Ministry of Industry Pavilion when the time came, looking for the building map of Xie Mansion.

Sima Wei and the others also knew the importance of this matter, and they all nodded in agreement.

The next day, the light snow that had been falling all night stopped at dawn, and a round of morning sun erupted, enveloping the imperial city of Luoyang, and the layers of palace pavilions were draped in dazzling light.

Luoyang Imperial Palace is divided into "Imperial City" and "Imperial City", and generally speaking, important official offices are to be located in the imperial city.

The "palace city" is the residence area of the emperor and his family, and the "palace" in the mouth of the common people actually refers to the "palace city" in Daqi.

Daqi implements the "three provinces and six departments", and the three provinces refer to the three provinces of Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province.

Among them, Shangshu Province consists of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households, which are the "six departments".

The six ministries of the three provinces are all important imperial offices, and six of them are institutions responsible for specific affairs, but the different division of labor and nature also determine that their offices are different, and all of them are located in the imperial city.

Under the personal leadership of Chen Ningmo, Cui Wenqing and more than 60 other students crossed the Tianjin Bridge, entered the imperial city from the majestic Duanmen, and came to the top of the Heavenly Street.

The so-called Heavenly Street is actually a popular name for officials.

On the three-vertical and three-horizontal long street of Guyin, all of them are important official offices of the imperial court, and most of the pedestrians are also court officials wearing official clothes.

To put it mildly, standing here with a brick and throwing it into the crowd, maybe you can smash a scholar or something, not to mention those five or six officials, even more than crossing the river.

A small number of the students who came to visit today are from humble backgrounds.

In the past, when they saw the imperial city, they could only stand at the bridgehead of Tianjin and watch from afar, but they didn't expect to be in it today, and many people were already excited, chattering all the way.

As the team leader, Chen Ningmo did not say anything to stop the students' illegal behavior.

On the contrary, she even felt that when these poor scholars saw the magnificence of the imperial city and the prominence of the officials, they could better work hard and take the imperial examination.

The students traveled all the way, but they attracted a lot of curious eyes.

When they knew that these students of the National Prison were specially going to the Ministry of Industry to visit and study, it also aroused a lot of admiration from the officials.

The Ministry of Works is located on the east side of the first street where the end gate enters Tianjie, and it is not far to walk past.

When he came to the door of the Ministry of Works, a waiter of the Ministry of Works was already waiting again.

This squire of the Ministry of Industry is called Wang Dechang, he naturally knows Chen Ningmo's prominent identity, and he does not dare to be the slightest neglect, and enthusiastically welcomes the students of Guozijian into the yamen, and also explains that Nan Shangshu is participating in the early dynasty deliberations, and will come to meet you in person later.

Cui Wenqing knew that Nan Zhengjie, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was the father of Nan Mingli, and he also had a relationship with him at the banquet where King Qi invited Zhizhao.

On the whole, this person is not a good person, and he is quite close to Xie Junhao, the king of Qi, and others, but he is not treated by Cui Wenqing, and it is best if he does not come.

The students came to the Ministry of Industry today to visit and study, and the Wang Shilang of the Ministry of Industry led everyone to the main hall and personally introduced the basic situation of the Ministry of Industry.

The so-called Ministry of Industry is the official office in charge of construction projects, with a Shangshu person, from the three products; The two waiters are under the fourth grade.

There are four subordinates of the Ministry of Industry: one is the Ministry of Industry, the second is Tuntian, the third is the Yu Department, and the fourth is the Water Department.

However, as far as the truth is concerned, Cui Wenqing and others all know that among the six ministries, the Ministry of Industry is the most non-existent official office, and it is not the same as the Ministry of Officials, which is known as the Heavenly Official.

After a brief introduction, Wang Shilang led everyone to visit the official office, explaining all the way.

Cui Wenqing had something on his mind, so he was naturally absent-minded, and asked Zhao Yayi: "Do you remember which attic the Ministry of Industry Library is in?" ”

Zhao Yayi looked up, carefully searched among the more than a dozen attics, and with her extraordinary memory, she quickly recalled, pointed to an attic not far to the east and said, "It should be this one." ”

Cui Wenqing nodded, in order to be more sure, he deliberately came to the front of Wang Shilang with slow pacing, and casually pointed to the small building that Zhao Yayi said and asked, "Dare to ask Shilang, I don't know what that attic is used for?" ”

Wang Shilang said with a smile: "This building is the library of the Ministry of Industry, which stores the construction drawings of Luoyang City and all important buildings in the world. ”

"Oh?" Cui Wenqing pretended to be interested, and said with a smile, "In that case, I don't know if the waiter can take us to visit?" ”

Naturally, Wang Shilang would not refuse a trivial matter, so he smiled and said, "Okay, you can just follow this official here." ”

After that, the group went to the library, and it can be seen that this is a three-story mahogany building, with green bricks and tiles flying eaves and arches, which are resplendent in the sunlight, just like a pavilion in the sky.

Wang Shilang was also unambiguous, and ordered the officials to open the attic door and bring the students of the Guozi Prison inside.

The first floor of the attic is a main hall, and the second floor can be reached from the side aisle, and the second and third floors are full of stacked bookshelves, on which are densely packed with scrolls.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, facing tens of thousands of scrolls, how could he find the map of the Xie Mansion in the shortest possible time? It's so hard!

Fortunately, he had a very good way, so he pretended not to understand and asked: "Dare to ask Wang Shilang, there are so many books in the Library, if you are looking for a building map, how can you find it accurately?" ”

Wang Shilang explained with a smile: "Although there are many bookshelves in the library, there are rules for the things that are placed. Yan casually pointed to the bookshelf next to him and said with a smile, "For example, this bookshelf is an important building in Qizhou, and the bookshelf next to it is a collection of architectural drawings of Mizhou adjacent to Qizhou." ”

Cui Wenqing suddenly woke up and asked with a smile: "Then I don't know where the important architectural drawings in Luoyang Shangshan Fang are placed?" ”

Xie Junhao's mansion is located in Shangshanfang, so Cui Wenqing asked.

Hearing this, Wang Shilang's face sank, and he was puzzled in his heart.

There are many princes and ministers living in Shangshanfang, the court dignitaries, and almost all the important buildings are their mansions, and the drawings are important items that are not allowed to be witnessed by outsiders.
