Liu Yong called another department, a very modern name, the Ministry of Science and Technology.

The minister of science and technology is named Cao Wen, who is one of the best people who invented artillery with Liu Yong in the past.

"Cao Wenlai from the Ministry of Science and Technology didn't come." Liu Yong asked.

Cao Wen is also almost forty years old, and he was still a hairy young man when he was first recruited by Chen An. But this person is very smart, good at using his brain, and has a lot of knowledge, which is very suitable for scientific research.

At present, the Ministry of Science and Technology has gathered top talents in various disciplines. That's true. Cao Wen has many classmates here. They are all studying scientific research. At that time, it was not called scientific research, it was called the science of physics. In fact, it is the study of invention.

When Liu Yong established the Huahan Dynasty, set up a separate Ministry of Science and Technology, and promoted Cao Wen to the minister, Cao Wen began to search for scientific and technological talents across the country. Enrich your scientific research strength.

By the way, in addition to the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Science and Technology is a newly created department, there are also the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Industry. The rest follow the six parts of the previous dynasty.

In other words, there are now a total of ten departments in the Huahan Dynasty. Although it appears bloated, it also improves the pertinence and efficiency.

This is a department that is then divided into provincial capitals and prefectures, and is managed layer by layer.

Cao Wen stood up, and Liu Yong said again: "You Cao Wen and Minister of Communications Huang Ming stay, the prime minister stays, and the military department goes back and quickly makes a plan for the Northern Expedition and presents it to me." The rest is gone! ”

As soon as Liu Yong's words were finished, all the ministers knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." The ministers retired. ”

And then they all went down.

In addition to Liu Yong, there are only three people left in the main hall, namely Prime Minister Chen An, Minister of Transportation Huang Ming, and Minister of Science and Technology Cao Wen.

Liu Yong said with a smile: "Cao Wen, I have an idea, an idea to build a road. But it's up to your Ministry of Science and Technology. ”

Cao Wen said: "Your Majesty, Weichen listens to you. ”

Liu Yong paused and said, "My idea is to build asphalt roads across the country. ”

This brand-new term made the three people below look at each other, not knowing what it was.

Liu Yong smiled when he saw their inexplicable expressions. He said, "I'll explain. Asphalt, as the name suggests, is the oil smelted from cypress trees. This oil is very hard when it solidifies. is good enough for paving. The asphalt road is much smoother than the stone. And the construction difficulty is much smaller. ”

When Liu Yong said this, Chen An, Huang Ming, Cao Wen and the other three looked at each other again.

At this time, Cao Wen asked, "Your Majesty, have you ever seen such a road?" ”

This time, Liu Yong was stopped, and after thinking about it, he had to smile and say: "I haven't seen this either, but I've seen this kind of oil, and it's on the mountain." Under a big tree, a large pool of smoothness. Hard as stone. I had the idea of paving the way with this thing. That's the way it is. ”

The three of them looked at each other again, and they all admired the emperor's brain from the bottom of their hearts.

This emperor is really a superman of wisdom!

Cao Wen immediately admired the emperor, only to hear him say: "Your Majesty's wisdom really makes Wei Chen feel ashamed!" ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "Cao Wen, don't be presumptuous, as a founder, you must be curious about everything." You have to think of yourself as a child and see the problem like a child. ”

Cao Wengong arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty's teachings will be kept in mind. The minister also has to tell his subordinates. ”

"Well, good. But ah, I don't know what it is, only cypress. If you go back, you might as well ask someone who has studied trees to look in the mountains. If you find it, report it to me immediately. ”

Cao Wen said, "Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Liu Yong nodded, and said to Huang Ming: "Huang Ming, next, your Ministry of Communications should contact the Ministry of Science and Technology more." Road building is your specialty. But this is the first time to pave the way with this new material, and you have to cooperate with the Ministry of Science and Technology to set the final indicators regarding hardness, thickness, and the ratio of oil and stone. ”

Huang Ming arched his hand and said, "Weichen understands. ”

Liu Yong said: "Okay, you guys go back and act separately now!" A planned road network. One looks for refined asphalt. ”

Huang Ming and Cao Wen both knelt down to bid farewell to the emperor, and walked out of the main hall together after they were done. When they arrived outside the main hall, the two began to study. The appearance of hand-to-ear exchange was clearly seen by Liu Yong. He likes such ministers who put political affairs first. It's not the kind of person who gets a high position and gets a vegetarian meal in the corpse position.

Chen An was left, and Liu Yong said, "Chen An, you've been tired lately, right?" ”

Chen An arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, serving Your Majesty will never feel tired. ”

Liu Yong sighed, got up and slowly walked off the dragon chair, walked to Chen An's side and said, "Chen An, more than twenty years ago, when I came to this Tian'an Mansion from Meizhou City, you did things for me. That's been decades! During this period, you were conscientious and diligent in your work for me, and you hardly made any mistakes. It's not easy! ”

Chen An arched his hands and said, "It is an honor for the minister to serve His Majesty. The minister was also glorified because of His Majesty. Before, the minister never imagined that he could be the prime minister. This is all thanks to His Majesty's support and favor. ”

Liu Yong walked to the center of the hall with his hands behind his back, looked at the spacious and clean square outside the hall, and said leisurely: "Chen An, you don't have to be modest. I can reuse you, or because of your own efforts, your talents. ”

Chen An said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is a dull person, and he will never dare to be talented or something. Even if he has a little talent, it is not comparable to a single hair of His Majesty. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yong laughed: "Hehehe, Chen An, I like your humble attitude. He said as he turned back and walked back and forth.

walked up to Chen An and said, "Chen An, how did my princes behave when I was away?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the princes behaved decently. The two princes in the minister really shared a lot of government affairs for the minister. Chen An arched his hand and said.

Hearing this, Liu Yong was very satisfied, he likes children who are studious and capable.

"Chen An, how is the relationship between their brothers? Is there any contradiction no. Liu Yong asked again.

Chen An immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, when it comes to this, the minister really admires it." The filial piety of the princes is perfect! ”

Listening to Chen An's words, Liu Yong didn't believe it a little, so he frowned.

People are like this, often too good is not real.
