"How can such a thing happen?"

When he heard what Liu Hongxun said, Zhu Jian was a little frowning.

"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that the scholar and a steward who were secretly trading were captured alive in a nunnery in Beijing, the minister would never have believed that there was such a thing!"

Speaking of this, Liu Hongxun was a little indignant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It turned out that what Liu Hongxun said to Zhu Jian was exactly what Zhou Yanru, the chief examiner of the school department of this year's Spring Examiner, was secretly discussing with those scholars about the 'worship post', and to put it bluntly, the examiner took bribes and gave the candidates a secret operation.

"But if I remember well, the chief examiner of this year's Spring Festival is to be personally served by Master Li Biao Li of the School Department, and the other assistant minister is you, Lord Liu Hongxun, and Lord Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the priest of the Jingshi University Hall, how can there be Zhou Yanru, the left attendant of this school?"

Faced with Zhu Jian's question, Liu Hongxun said.

"Last night, I heard that Lord Li of the school department occasionally felt a cold, but I think he is a little old, in order not to delay such an imperial event as the Spring Princess, Lord Li Biao has just broken the cabinet department, and he wants to come here before it is in the hands of His Majesty."

Hearing this, Zhu Jian nodded.

"I came out a little early today, I'm afraid I also missed this matter, but I acquiesce that this matter is very important, I limit you to within twelve hours, and I will thoroughly investigate this matter with the Dali Academy, the Patrol Police Department, and the School Department!"

"Obey the order!"

After that, Liu Hongxun turned around and left.

Seeing Liu Hongxun leaving, Zhu Jian got up but unconsciously showed a hint of joy, and said secretly in his heart.

"Zhou Yanru is this person, but I have thought about it for a long time, but I have never let me hold the handle, it seems that God really helps me today!"

"Let's go!"

This was the case, but Zhu Jian called the plainclothes guards around him and turned around and left the restaurant.

At the same time, in an eye-catching guest room above this restaurant, Li Yan was in a daze facing the hundred taels of silver in front of him.

Of course, Li Yan, who came from the official eunuch's house since he was a child, naturally would not be overwhelmed by this hundred taels of silver, but because of the respect that the saints have for scholars today.

"Today's saint is such a virtuous corporal, but why worry that the world's talents are not among them!"

East City.

It is a lively place in Beijing, but trade is extremely prosperous.

At this moment, Zhu Jian was wandering around the East Market with the guards, firstly, to observe the people's feelings, and secondly, to find out the trade of the entire Jingshi.

"Lord Han, Lord Han is waiting in the teahouse."

"If you go back to Gongzi, Lord Han has been waiting in the teahouse for a long time!"

It turned out that Zhu Jian had already made an appointment with Han Yi, the minister of the Imperial Ministry of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce.

"Oh, don't let Lord Han wait in a hurry, I'll go quickly!"

Not long after, Zhu Jian had already arrived at this teahouse called 'Yazhai', where Han Yi was dressed in a gray robe and was sipping tea in a cup in a secluded place.

"Lord Han!"

When Zhu Jian whispered in the past, Han Yi hurriedly got up and said something.

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jian smiled slightly and motioned for him to sit down and talk again.

However, since Han Yi experienced many matters such as the ouster of the Donglin Party and the current Shengshang's determination to reform, Han Yi's opinion on Zhu Jian has also changed from incomprehension, to recognition, and then to today's strong support.

Now he has been appointed by Zhu Jian as the Minister of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce, and he has worked hard and hard to complain, but now in less than a month, the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce has been created from scratch, and the organization has been structured.

"Lord Han, how are the political affairs of the ministry recently, but let's talk about it!"

"Your Majesty, the minister will start with agriculture."

Hearing this, Zhu Jian nodded, but motioned for him to continue.

"Since January, the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry has promoted sweet potatoes from Fujian and other places to 15 provinces, including Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan, Shanxi, Beijing, Shandong, Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in accordance with the strategy formulated by His Majesty, and has promoted corn to more than 10 provinces such as Henan and Jin."

Regarding Han Yi's introduction, Zhu Jian nodded.

"In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry has set up agricultural bureaus in Henan and Jin provinces to publicize the agricultural policies formulated by the Beijing Division, as well as to give agricultural guidance to various localities, and most of them are to persuade agriculture and mulberry."

"What about water conservancy?"

After listening to Han Yi's introduction, Zhu Jian asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Water Conservancy Department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry has been fully established, but the water conservancy in various places is in disrepair, and the ministers are a little powerless for a while."

Han Yi also told the truth, the imperial water conservancy is not in disrepair for a day or two, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, if it is to be repaired in a short period of time, it will definitely require a lot of financial and material resources.

Regarding Han Yi's words, Zhu Jian has also thought about it for a long time, so it is the way.

"Lord Han, the matter of water conservancy is very important, but it cannot be delayed, I first and you two million taels of silver to repair the water conservancy projects north of the Yellow River on the three sides, and the law of farmland water conservancy implemented by Wang Jinggong of the Song Dynasty can also be used for reference, but remember, you must not force the local people to repair the water conservancy project, so as not to increase the burden of the people, and the water conservancy repair is the responsibility of the water conservancy bureau specially set up by the Water Conservancy Department in various places, and the local state government shall not interfere!"

Regarding what Zhu Jian said, Han Yi nodded yes.

And at this moment, Zhu Jian seemed to have thought of something.

"Lord Han, the assessment of the Water Conservancy Department should be directly under the Political Affairs Bureau, and I am directly responsible for it, and I will issue a decree in the near future, and the matter of water conservancy should be as soon as possible!"

In fact, there is a reason why Zhu Jian transferred the assessment of the Water Conservancy Bureau to the Political Affairs Bureau, which is the emperor's secretarial body, and the assessment power is transferred to the Political Affairs Bureau, which means that the emperor is directly responsible for the national water conservancy.

The purpose should be self-evident, but it is to avoid corruption!

"Lord Han, what is the situation in the mining industry?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the repair project of Zunhua Iron Works is almost complete, and I think it can be re-forged at the end of next month, and more than a dozen state-owned iron works of all sizes have been set up in Taiyuan Prefecture, Tianjin Iron Works have been set up in Tianjin, and Laiwu Iron Works has been set up in Shandong."

Regarding this, Zhu Jian is the way.

"Steel is the lifeblood of the country, but it is far from enough here, and I will give you another 500,000 taels of silver, which should be used to improve steelmaking technology, and it must be formed with high yield and high quality! By the way, the treatment of workers in steel mills should be appropriately improved, and workers must not be lynched at will, which should be kept in mind! ”

"In addition, coal mines, copper mines, silver mines, as well as gold mines, salt industry, etc., should be done as soon as possible, in addition to the official office, appropriate businessmen can be encouraged to set up, I have set up the State Administration of Taxation, but the tax matter is handled by the State Administration of Taxation, but how much is the tax, the Department of Industry should need to investigate more on the spot, so as to draw conclusions as soon as possible, and the Department of Commerce should send personnel to various places to do a preliminary investigation on the implementation of commercial taxes!"
