Chapter 327: Infrastructure
The consequence of everyone getting drunk is that when they get up to work the next morning, they are a little sluggish, but the tenacious biological clock still wakes everyone up!
Sitting on the seat and waiting to eat the breakfast provided by Xue Lang, seeing Xue Lang's refreshed appearance, Pei Ju smiled bitterly, Wang Shilang grinded his teeth a little, but I don't know if there is a villain in my heart who is yelling at unfairness!
Hawkers,I feel like this imagination is a bit of a middle two!
Drinking porridge with a smile, accompanied by salted duck eggs and pickled vegetables, Xue Lang drank two bowls with a good appetite, and the others only barely drank one bowl.
The little servants of each family have been waiting early, waiting for the food to be eaten, waiting for their respective masters to change their clothes, and then everyone will go out to work together. Pei Ju went to the court, and Xue Lang and they went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
When he arrived at the Yamen and wanted to go back to his respective offices, Wang Shilang suddenly stopped, his steps were a little hesitant, as if he was thinking twice, and turned his head to ask Xue Lang, who was walking behind: "Thank you Xue Shilang for your hospitality yesterday, wine and food, yesterday Wang was greedy for a cup, but what is the gaffe?" ”
This is...... Got a broken drink?
Xue Lang looked at Wang Shilang suspiciously, his heart moved, his expression pretended to hesitate, and he stopped talking. Wang Shilang's face was a little pale with a hangover, but now it is even whiter, and he asked in a lost voice: "But Wang's words and deeds are inappropriate?" ”
"Alas!"
Xue Lang sighed and patted Wang Shilang on the shoulder: "It's okay, Wang Shilang, please don't think about it, and work with peace of mind." Xue still has business at hand, so let's get busy first! ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Wang Shilang's face changing and hesitating-
But what did he do last night?! Do you want someone to ask?
Xue Lang couldn't help but smile and went to his office, he didn't expect Wang Shilang to drink a fragment, so he urged his heart to get up and tease him, but in fact he didn't say anything, and he was not afraid to investigate it in the end. Let him pretend to slap his face again, let him panic first.
happily finished the banquet and got a good feedback. Xue Lang also took this opportunity to recognize all the people who were called by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and not long after he was in the office, someone came from the palace and passed him and Wang Shilang into the palace to discuss matters.
When I entered the Xuanzheng Palace, the officials of the six ministries were there. After the salute, sure enough, it was still for the matter of Tuguhun's abnormal movement, and the officials of the six ministries came to report on the preparation of grain and grass.
"Fu Yun this person, wolf ambition, a few years ago, taking advantage of the chaos in the world, to recover the lost territory of previous years, this year I saw that I was fighting with the Turks, and there were bandits in the territory, I want to come with the intention of picking up cheap?"
"Come when you come, beat it when you come, and hit him once to make him settle down for a few years."
"This battle must be fought!"
"Then, how to fight? Who will be the general? To what extent? These need to be carefully scrutinized. ”
The ministers of the government hall reached a consensus and summoned the officials of the six ministries to the court one by one to inquire about the collection of grain and grass. Xue Lang stepped forward, and Lang Lang replied, the army is moving, how much money and food will be spent on the march every day, how much money and food will be spent every day after the war, and how much the total amount is expected to be needed, all of them are all clearly calculated.
The money, food, salt and other materials needed, what to mobilize from where, Xue Lang answered all clearly. The sage nodded as he listened, and after listening, he said, "Good! Very good! ”
After discussing the matter in the Xuanzheng Palace, the sage left Xue Lang behind, and the monarchs and ministers went to the Zichen Hall together. As he walked, the sage asked, "Is Xue Qing's family still going well in the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" ”
Xue Lang said: "Back to the saint, for now, everything is fine. ”
The sage said: "Two days ago, Pingyang entered the palace and presented a method of military training called queue training, and she said that it was written by you?" ”
It turned out to be this. Xue Lang said: "Back to the saint, this method is indeed from the hands of the ministers, but because the ministers do not understand military affairs, they only understand the fur, and they really improve this method, so that the method of the queue can be applied to the Tang Dynasty military system, and it is still the princess's credit." ”
The sage nodded and said, "Xue Qing doesn't need to push, you and Pingyang are both good children, share your worries and solve my labor, and never spare any effort." I transferred you to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but it's a pity to think about it at this time. ”
Xue Lang comforted the saint instead: "The minister thinks that the Ministry of Civil Affairs is also good. In fact, I don't know much about the regulations, customs, and customs of our dynasty, but the Ministry of Civil Affairs is a ministry department, and you can learn a lot from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. ”
The saint suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Xue Lang, who was three steps behind him: "Only let you be in charge of the Golden Ministry, which is what I mean." Do you know why? ”
Xue Lang thought for a while and said: "I think that this year, the minister will also be in charge of the planting and promotion of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and cotton, as well as the experiment of salt making, and the manufacture of bamboo paper should also be put on the agenda, and it is also necessary to receive the gold department. ”
The saint nodded approvingly: "It's good if you can figure it out, this year, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders." ”
"The minister will do his best to live up to the grace of the saints."
As he spoke, he had already arrived at the Zichen Palace, and the saint held the dragon chair high and let Xue Lang sit on the chair beside him. The two monarchs and ministers sat down separately, and the sage said: "I have issued an edict this morning, ordering Pingyang to be the Shaofu Supervisor and the Shaofu Supervisor, and the salt-making technique and bamboo paper manufacturing will be temporarily supervised by the Shaofu Supervisor, and then assigned after the test is successful." ”
"Whoa!"
Xue Lang replied loudly, now there is an excuse to visit Her Royal Highness the Princess's mansion, and there is no need for the princess to come to his mansion secretly, so she can come openly.
That happy appearance made the sage can't help but stroke his beard and chuckle, and said, "I have selected people to go to various places along the coast to choose suitable places to dry salt. Together with Binh Duong in Beijing, you first made the paper. ”
"Whoa."
After talking about official matters for a while, the sage encouraged Xue Lang a lot, and then let Xue Lang out of the palace. Xue Lang left the palace, but he didn't have time to return home, so he went directly to Princess Pingyang's mansion.
The maid led him to the side hall where he frequented, Princess Pingyang was covered with a blanket, leaning on the smoke cage and reading a book, when she saw Xue Lang coming, she put the book down and looked up to give him a faint smile: "Coming?" ”
Xue Lang nodded: "I just came out of the palace, and I heard the sage say that the edict has been issued, let Jianling go to the Shaofu Prison?" ”
Princess Pingyang nodded and said, "The sage asked me to lead the young eunuch of the Shaofu, but the current reigning Shaofu eunuch is old and frail, his energy is low, and he has been sick for many days, but in fact, he is in charge of it." ”
Xue Lang smiled: "That's much easier!" Papermaking, movable type printing, and silk and cotton blending can be carried out together. ”
Craftsmen who belong to the state are in charge of the construction of weapons and houses, and tailors and embroiderers are under the supervision of the Shaofu Supervisor. Now that the Shaofu Supervisor is under the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is indeed very convenient for the two of them to do things.
Princess Pingyang bowed: "Yes! I'll arrange for a craftsman tomorrow to start trial production. ”
Xue Lang smiled: "After talking about business, let's talk about some private matters." ”
Princess Pingyang looked at him with interest, although she didn't speak, but her beautiful eyes seemed to ask "what is a private matter" again, fortunately Xue Lang didn't have any dirty thoughts, otherwise she would really feel ashamed under such a gaze.
"Ahem...... I heard that the imperial court has recovered the Lingnan area? What about Jiaozhou? Can I be within my control? ”
Princess Pingyang looked at him strangely: "Jiaozhou has always been under the control of our dynasty. What is the matter, you ask? ”
