The courtiers quickly dispersed, but Wei Zhongxian stayed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chongzhen knew that he should have an eyebrow about what Wei Zhongxian had done. Sure enough, as Chongzhen expected, Wei Zhongxian waited for the ministers to leave, and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the things you told the servants to do have been done, and everything is ready in the Ministry of Industry." ”

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian had a smile on his face, looking extremely pious. Chongzhen was very satisfied with Wei Zhongxian's performance, but Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side, was full of doubts in his heart, and he didn't understand what the emperor told Wei Zhongxian to do.

"Let's go, we'll go to the Ministry of Industry now." Chongzhen didn't want to wait for a moment, what Daming lacked most now was money, Daming's taxes mainly relied on agricultural taxes, which could not meet the needs of the Ming Empire at all, and money was needed everywhere. Chongzhen must solve the economic problem as soon as possible in order to stabilize the people's minds.

This time, Chongzhen and his party did not make a big fanfare, but walked out of the palace in civilian clothes. In the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Industry was divided into many departments, and the place where lime was refined was in the Miscellaneous Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. The Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry is located on the west side of the Xuanbeifang Liuli Factory in Beijing, with many temples in Xuanbeifang, the center of the dense crowd, and the rich minerals here, which is convenient for local materials.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Industry and the political envoys of the Ming Dynasty were in charge of other similar professional bureaus (such as the Ordnance Bureau) did not belong, so the miscellaneous manufacturing bureau made a wide variety of products, involving all aspects of life, among which the lime production plant needed by Chongzhen was also here. Lime has been widely used in the Ming Dynasty, and Yu Qian wrote the famous "Lime Yin", which was chiseled out of the mountains with thousands of hammers, and burned in flames. Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the lime manufacturing process has been proficient, Chongzhen is to borrow the lime production process, but before the success, Chongzhen does not want to be known by too many people, which is related to Chongzhen's future layout, and has to be cautious.

Except for a few personal guards, Chongzhen's personnel are very simple in order not to attract the attention of others. When Chongzhen and others came to the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, they were stopped outside the gate of the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau. However, Chongzhen didn't have to come in person, but Chongzhen didn't have the confidence in his heart, and he didn't know what level Daming's chemical industry had reached now, so this trip was still worth it. The personal guards around him are Jinyiwei, and Daming's Jinyiwei is a relatively special institution, which is in charge of driving guards and patrolling and arresting. The Jinyi guard beside Chongzhen is the emperor's guard, and he is very skilled. These brocade guards were the emperor's personal guards, who had received strict training since childhood and were loyal to the royal family.

One of the guards showed the brocade guard waist card to the doorman of the Miscellaneous Bureau, and the doorman of the Miscellaneous Bureau was so frightened that he hurriedly opened the door and gave way. The doorman was an old man in his sixties, named Sun Shishan, who had worked in the Miscellaneous Bureau all his life. In recent years, his health has not been good, and the steward has taken care of him more and arranged an idle errand for him. Today is his second year in office, and this year, he has seen all kinds of people in the Miscellaneous Bureau, but the most businessmen. The Miscellaneous Bureau has one ambassador and nine products; The deputy envoy is one person, from the ninth grade. Therefore, no high-ranking official has ever come here, let alone Jinyiwei, and Sun Shishan felt that the Jinyiwei Baihu who showed his waist card seemed to be just a guard. Although there are not many people in this group, the people around them are all around the young man in the middle, presumably this young man must be born extraordinary, either rich or expensive, and he can't afford to offend.

Wei Zhongxian watched the doorman see it, and without too much nonsense, he said directly to the doorman: "Take us to the lime refining site, we will go to the lime factory to have a look." ”

Sun Lishi hesitated, he was just a doorman and had no such authority, but the person in front of him was not something he could offend, what should he do? Sun Lishi was thinking in his heart, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and after finally weighing it, he had no choice but to respond: "This adult, it's not that the villain refuses to lead the way, it's just that the villain doesn't have this power, or the villain will go and inform the ambassador now." Sun Lishi replied very cautiously, very worried that there would be anything disrespectful in his words and offend people who could not be provoked.

Wei Zhongxian was a little unhappy in his heart, and said in a cold tone: "No need, if there is anything, Lord Ben will bear it for you." These cold words suddenly made Sun Lishi cold from his head to the soles of his feet like a biting cold wind, and he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to reply.

Chongzhen watched all this lightly from the side, and he was very emotional in his heart. A single sentence can scare a civilian like this, and the horror of this power is revealed in a blatant and thorough way at this moment. However, in the final analysis, Chongzhen is from modern people after all, and the blood of equality still flows in his bones. Therefore, he didn't want the guards to be too dangerous, so he spoke out to stop Wei Zhongxian.

"Zhongxian, let him report it, let's wait." When Chongzhen said this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't believe his ears, he turned his head to look at the expressions of Wang Chengen and the guards, and he knew that he had heard correctly. What kind of situation is this, Chongzhen's anxious mood is the best for him, although Chongzhen has not explained anything to himself, but Wei Zhongxian faintly feels that things will not be as simple as imagined. However, now Chongzhen actually stopped himself in order not to embarrass a doorman, of course, Wei Zhongxian will not feel that Chongzhen despises him, he just doesn't understand that the son of the emperor, who was born in the emperor's family since he was a child and has not suffered from the people, will be born with a kind of arrogance, so affinity, Wei Zhongxian is the first time to see it.
