Jin Rong also said frankly, "Back to my father, these things, no matter how delicate they are, are just a business. The emperor did these things, and that was also the result of investing a lot of manpower and material resources. When this business was started at that time, there was not enough money, so it was enough money for the three families to do this thing, and it was a business for the three families. ”

Jin Rong raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, seeing that the emperor looked at him with a smile, as if waiting for him to continue to weave down, he couldn't help but have a bitter face, and said: "Father, the construction of the track always requires the purchase of materials, even if the bolt is a workpiece made by the emperor, it is also costly." The son can only promise his father that as long as the imperial court needs to build a track, all the threaded workpieces in the mechanical workshop will be sold to the Ministry of Industry. ”

After listening to him, the emperor scolded with a smile: "Look at your little bit of talent, just ask one more question, and you will be provoked to say such a big thing." The imperial court is in charge of the world's projects, do you still care about your little money? ”

Jin Rong shouted: "It's not easy for Erchen to do this, I have found almost all the skilled craftsmen I knew before, and it costs a lot." You'll have to let your sons make up for it, right? ”

"Look, the more you talk about it, the more useless you become." The emperor no longer paid attention to Jinrong, and turned to Wang Xian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, "Wang Aiqing take back these ten sets of workpieces, let the workmen calculate, and see how many such workpieces are needed." By the way, I will inform King Fu of the matter of threaded connection. ”

Wang Xian seemed to think for a moment, peeked at Jinrong, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, this ......" Wang Xian glanced at Jinrong again, looking a little embarrassed.

The emperor frowned and asked, "Does Wang Aiqing feel that something is inappropriate, if you have any doubts, you can say it." King Yu is also a minister of the court, and it is his duty to worry about the world, so you don't have to worry about him. "As an emperor, if what his son has made out is really useful, he will not hesitate to give his son more benefits. But if the son does things that are detrimental to the court and the world, it will be inappropriate.

Wang Xian hurriedly replied: "No, there is nothing wrong. Weichen just felt that the track project cost a lot of money, and Qingyuan County was remote, and it was impossible to have many craftsmen. Even if this fastener is a good thing, I'm afraid it won't be available for us to use. ”

The emperor pondered for a moment, but it was the same thing, and asked, "What does Wang Aiqing mean?" ”

Wang Xian thought about King Fu, thought about the track project that they and King Fu were preparing for, and then thought about how His Royal Highness King Yu was an idle prince after all, and he would not be in power now or in the future.

He finally gritted his teeth and bowed down and said: "There are many craftsmen in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and Weichen thinks that if these fasteners are processed by the Ministry of Industry, they may be able to be used for rail transportation projects." ”

Cheng Dahui sighed when he heard it, although Wang Shangshu was attached to King Fu, but he had the courage to ...... It's really big enough, this is to bite off a piece of meat from His Royal Highness King Yu.

The emperor didn't think that Wang Xian was biting the flesh from his son, but he also thought that if this proposal was implemented, his son's money-making business would not seem to be able to be guaranteed. He glanced at Jinrong, and sure enough, he saw Jinrong's face sank.

The emperor coughed lightly and said, "I heard what Cheng Dahui meant just now, this kind of workpiece seems to be not easy to make. ”

Wang Xian didn't dare to look at Jinrong, but asked Cheng Dahui: "Master Cheng is an expert, I don't know where the difficulty is in making this kind of workpiece?" ”

Cheng Dahui secretly scolded Wang Xian for pulling him inside, but he didn't dare not answer, "Lord Hui, if you can achieve such consistent specifications, there should be special appliances." As far as the lower officials know, there is no instrument that can make such a regular and uniform thread. ”

Wang Xian bowed his hand to Jinrong apologetically, and said: "Weichen is also dedicated to the court, and His Royal Highness King Wangyu has a formless tolerance for Weichen. ”

Jinrong was silent, but her heart was settled, and everything went according to plan.

In order to complete the track project as soon as possible, the lathe for processing threads was naturally handed over to the Ministry of Engineering, so that the Ministry of Engineering could arrange the best processing. If King Fu stopped all the lathes and processing matters in his own hands, he was afraid that he would be more greedy for ink and silver.

Willing to earn a batch of workpieces for the silver taels, but it can be conducive to construction, and can also give King Fu more materials to bring him down, which is more important, it is clear at a glance.

Wang Xian apologized to Jinrong, but it did not prevent him from continuing to serve King Fu: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that there are many craftsmen who can be used by the Ministry of Industry, so it is better for the imperial court to invest in buying the equipment for making threaded fasteners, and the Ministry of Industry will organize the processing of fasteners for use in track projects." ”

After Wang Xian finished speaking, he added, "Of course, this has to be discussed by everyone to see if the thread really has to be used." ”

Although the emperor knew that his son's money-making business was problematic, Wang Xian's suggestion was more beneficial to the imperial court, which was also a clear thing.

He looked at Jinrong, who was silent with a calm face, and said: "Jinrong, it is for the benefit of the country and the people to make the construction of the track project smooth and complete quickly." Listening to what you just said, the equipment used to process threaded fasteners must be very delicate. Let the Ministry of Industry make a good deal, give you a fair price, and hand over the equipment you use to the Ministry of Industry? ”

Jinrong had a gloomy face, stared at Wang Xian gloomily, and said to the emperor: "Since my father said so, my sons and daughters can't do things that are not conducive to the court. I'm going to pass the book and get the drawings of the lathe into the city. ”

When Cheng Dahui heard that the appliance had a different name, he ignored the etiquette and immediately asked: "Your Highness, is that processing appliance called a lathe?" Bulky? ”

Jinrong's face was pale, but he still said: "It's quite big, seven or eight feet long, so the craftsmen call it a lathe." ”

When Wang Xian heard such a big instrument, he felt a little uncertain, and said with a smile: "Wechen has never heard of this kind of instrument. His Royal Highness King Yu, Weichen is afraid that just the drawings will be sent over, and our people will not be able to operate, can His Royal Highness send a few craftsmen and stewards who are in charge of thread production. ”

Jinrong frowned and sent his own manpower?

But when he thought of Ye Xinyan again, his heart couldn't help but feel hot. It would be a good thing if I could take this opportunity to get the leaves back. He knew from the letters sent back and forth that the things in Ye Zi's hands had been almost arranged, all the materials, drawings and construction documents were ready, and the manpower was also arranged.

The emperor was surprised, he actually saw a loosening on Jinrong's face, as if sending someone into Beijing could also relieve the sullenness that had taken away his business. But it was not obvious on the face, and only arranged for Wang Xian to find relevant people to determine whether the bolts could be used.

Then he said, "Okay, let's go and do things." Jinrong stays, I have a few words to say to you. "Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
