Chapter 550: Start with the Materials
"I don't know what their purpose is for the Manufacturing Bureau, and they haven't explained it to me."
The stone was a little confused, and Chen Mu smiled.
Those corrupt officials are in the court, just for money, reputation, official position and power.
As for the Manufacturing Bureau, it is naturally money that can provide them.
Presumably, they wanted to arrange for people to enter the manufacturing bureau, and then wait for an opportunity to withhold the silver used to purchase materials in the manufacturing bureau to fill their private treasury.
Recently, Chen Muyan has arrested corrupt officials in Beijing, which has made those people in the family lose a lot of ways to exploit the people's fat and people's cream.
It's normal that they'll be eyeing the Manufacturing Bureau.
The Manufacturing Bureau has not been established for a long time, and there are many official positions in the Manufacturing Bureau that are vacant.
Chen Mu thought about it, it was not yet time to manufacture equipment on a large scale, so he did not take the opportunity to recruit new officials.
Only a few officials mobilized from the Ministry of Industry were allowed to take care of the affairs of the Manufacturing Bureau.
"You do what they tell you first, and when you get the evidence, you can close the net."
"Those people are eyeing the Manufacturing Bureau, and I guess this is the only thing they want you to help with in a short period of time."
"Although we can continue to wait and see what those family members have in the future, but ......"
But Chen Mu was too lazy to make a false deal with those people in the family.
Because he's been dealing with a lot lately.
The trade route was opened, and he had already sent someone to take the cold storage cart to the small city in the south, and went to a lot of fruits and vegetables for the small town courtyard in the south.
The magic of the cold storage car has been brought into play, although now it has only passed through a small commercial route.
But Chen Mu believes that as the cold storage car is improved, the use of the cold storage car will become more and more great.
In the territory of Great Xia, the people of both the north and the south or the east and west can also enjoy crops from other borders of Great Xia.
After arranging the plan, Shi and Lu Wen and the others left the main hall, and those people from the big family didn't know that Shi had already told Chen Mu everything.
Therefore, when the stone helped them carry out the plan, those people in the family also believed in the stone more and more, and gave the stone a lot of benefits.
The stone did not dare to really accept those benefits, and kept them in his own room, containing them in a mahogany box.
I was going to wait until the matter was over, and then hand over those benefits to Chen Mu.
The purpose of those people was indeed as Chen Mu expected.
After Stone promised to help them get close to the officials of the Manufacturing Bureau and draw them in the match, the men brought Stone a lot of benefits.
And promised that when the matter was settled, they would help Stone get a higher official position.
When the stone heard this, he only smiled and did not respond.
He promised that he would not be promoted first, but he didn't feel a pity.
To be able to serve in the court like now, and live a life with money and rewards every day, it was already something he couldn't have imagined before.
Now that he has obtained all this, he is also very grateful to Chen Mu, who is willing to give him such an opportunity to enter Beijing as an official.
He also knew that he had a bad character and a bad reputation before, and he thought that when he mentioned to Chen Mu that he wanted to enter Beijing as an official, Chen Mu would bluntly refuse.
As a result, to this day, Chen Mu not only trusts him, but also regards him as a confidant.
As soon as Shi thought of this, he felt extremely emotional, and he made up his mind that he would be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince no matter what.
The masters of the Ministry of Engineering of the Manufacturing Bureau have also been mentioned by Chen Mu, and these masters of the Ministry of Industry are Chen Mu's henchmen.
was sent to the Manufacturing Bureau by Chen Mu to take care of the newly established Manufacturing Bureau, which can be regarded as holding a lot of power, and they are extremely grateful to Chen Mu for his kindness.
After listening to the stones, they wanted to use their reasons to lure out the plans of those people in the family, and those masters of the Ministry of Industry naturally agreed immediately.
After a few meetings with those of the great families, they thought that the time had come for them to negotiate in detail.
They can also find out their plans and plans with the Ministry of Works.
So they picked another sunny day, and invited a few workers and stones to a restaurant in the city.
Sitting down in the private room, the people of the family did not hide it, and directly explained their thoughts.
"A few days ago, we were thinking that if we could arrange the children of our family into the manufacturing bureau, we could let the children of our family do things for us."
"But after dealing with several workers in the past few days, we found that several of them are also our confidants."
"We are willing to trust a few of the Ministry of Works, and we would like to ask if they are willing to do things for us."
The expressions on the faces of the workers paused, and then a smile appeared on their faces.
They looked at each other, and one of them nodded and spoke slowly.
"In fact, in the past few days, when dealing with several adults, we have also seen the thoughts of these adults."
"We have also thought about it in the past few days, several adults are from extraordinary backgrounds, and they are also quite powerful in the capital."
"We'd love to make friends with a few adults, too."
This can be regarded as a manifestation of one's heart and attitude.
Seeing this, the people from the family looked at each other and immediately nodded in satisfaction.
After everyone discussed it again and determined a detailed plan, the family members left.
Shi and the officials from the Ministry of Industry glanced at each other, and they also dispersed and returned to their respective mansions.
In the dead of night, they avoided the eyeliner outside the house and quietly entered the palace.
Chen Mu was waiting for them in the study, he had already sent secret guards to keep an eye on those people from the family, and naturally he also knew about the meeting between those people from the family and Shi and others.
After Shi and those ministers entered the palace, they did not hide it, and immediately told Chen Mu the plans of those lords of the family.
"In the past few days, the adults who studied the government have studied almost all the farming equipment, and the changes have been extremely perfect."
"It is also ready to send the drawings and initial equipment of those farming machinery to the manufacturing bureau for mass production by the people of the manufacturing bureau."
"Because it's a farming tool, it's very particular about the wood it needs."
And the plans of those people in the family are also simple.
They wanted the Ministry officials to buy timber from them.
The wood they can provide is naturally not high-quality wood, but only some extremely inferior wood.
But even so, they will sell it to the adults of the manufacturing bureau at the price of high-quality wood.
The adults of the manufacturing bureau had already discussed the plan with them, and after the timber was purchased, there would be no objection at all.
"And those people in the family will divide the large amount of benefits they have received and share them among the adults of the Manufacturing Bureau."
"After these farming tools are manufactured, they will be promoted to the people."
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you don't get the opportunity to see these instruments, you will naturally not notice that something is wrong."
