Xue Fengxiang, who had stayed up all night, set foot on the way to the General Bureau of Ordnance as usual.

In fact, many people in the outside world have no way to understand what Xue Fengxiang did.

Although Wang Gongchang has developed rapidly after the spin-off of the Ministry of Industry, what does it have to do with him Xue Fengxiang?

Why bother thanklessly taking over the General Directorate of Ordnance again.

Is it really possible for the unit whose ownership is still in the East Factory to do things on its own?

Such a question also lingered in Xue Fengxiang's mind at the beginning, but he had several discussions with Zhu Youzhen in the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Let Xue Fengxiang thoroughly understand that there is an essential difference between the Ming in front of him and the Ming in the past.

If a courtier cannot solve the king's worries, then no matter what position he holds, he is incompetent.

So he was more tired than before, and the Ministry of Industry was able to use this as a reason to work less when he was short of silver, but now after Zhu Youzhen came to power.

He was not stingy with the expenditures of the six ministries, except for the household ministry, which had independent rights to collect agricultural taxes.

Before he got closer, Xue Fengxiang saw the emperor's dragon chariot outside the General Bureau of Ordnance being parked outside the gate, and the craftsmen and officials who came and went were all cautious.

Walking is a quick walk and bowing his head, after all, no one knows what the emperor's intention is when he came to the General Bureau of Ordnance today.

If you come to Xingshi to ask for sin...

Everyone didn't dare to think about it anymore, but walked quickly towards the courtyard.

"Minister Xue Fengxiang, welcome to the emperor!"

With that, Xue Fengxiang knelt on the ground and waited with his head bowed.

According to the practice of the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need for Xue Fengxiang to kneel down to worship Zhu Youzhen at the moment, after all, it is not an important occasion.

When facing the Son of Heaven, the courtiers only need to bow down at most, and even the emperor has to nod back to show it.

Today, Xue Fengxiang's kneeling greeting is actually due to the worship of Zhu Youzhen, not his tendency to become inflammatory.

After all, he has long been in the first grade, and there may not be much room for upward movement.

Wang Chengen saw that the main lord had finally come, so he turned around and called Zhu Youzhen.

Walking down from the dragon chariot, the early spring morning was still a little cold, and Zhu Youzhen, who didn't sleep well last night, although his eyes were still energetic, his body was still a little sleepy.

"Xue Aiqing, get up quickly, what's the matter with kneeling on the ground on this cold day, I came to you today for something, by the way, take a look at my General Bureau of Weapons."

"Obey the order."

In the compound of the General Bureau of Ordnance, Zhu Youzhen felt very relieved.

Now it can be said that the situation in Wang Gong's factory has changed dramatically.

The craftsmen are no longer in rags, but everyone is wearing a new standard uniform.

As the craftsmen of the great power, under the concern of Zhu Youzhen to pay more and more attention to industrial development, their status has gradually improved.

"The most important weapon of the nation... The most important weapon of the country! ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at everything along the way with a relieved face, and the treatment of the General Bureau of Ordnance was very good.

All the craftsmen have also changed their original faces, and with the sufficient food security every day inside, many craftsmen have shown a little wealth.

Zhu Youzhen was quite pleased with this.

Isn't the premise of work to have a good body?

At this moment, almost everyone in the General Bureau of Weapons knows that the emperor has come to the General Bureau of Weapons in person.

But strict internal management rules and regulations require them, even if the sky falls.

You have to let everything go according to plan, what's out there.

It doesn't have much to do with them.

As the most precious group of workers in the Ming Dynasty, the early morning of work should start with breakfast.

Since Zhu Youzhen came to power, the three-meal system has been implemented for all heavy manual laborers, including armies like the Tianhu Army.

Of course, there are also key units like the General Directorate of Ordnance.

A huge cast-iron pot was propped up in the backyard of the General Ordnance Bureau.

Whole bags of rice were poured in, and a dozen cauldrons lined up as they began to boil this morning's breakfast.

The smell of rice soon enveloped the entire General Bureau of Weapons.

And Zhu Youzhen naturally saw the cooking smoke coming from the backyard, and said to Xue Fengxiang with interest.

"Looks like it's almost time to eat, why don't I have a light meal with you today? Are you welcome to this uninvited guest? ”

Xue Fengxiang's dark face was stunned, and Zhu Youzhen didn't wait for the next step, and walked along the crowd to the backyard.

In his hand, he was still holding the tableware that Wang Chengen handed over in time.

"Big pot rice"...

Zhu Youzhen can't remember how long he hasn't eaten.

And the craftsmen on the side are waiting hungrily to return to their posts after breakfast.

With a look of disbelief, the excited emperor in front of him was lined up in the line like them.

Waiting for breakfast...

Xue Fengxiang finally reacted, only to see him rush forward in a hurry.

"Your Majesty . . . The breakfast of this General Bureau of Ordnance is only eaten by craftsmen. The food can't catch up with the palace.. This.."

"What's this? My craftsmen can eat it, but I can't? Quick, you also prepare a bowl and go to the back to line up, and when the time comes, I will chat with you while eating after dinner. ”

Xue Fengxiang had no choice but to turn his head and take a set of cutlery and line up at the back of the line.

And Zhu Youzhen also tried his best to make his face more amiable.

Otherwise, this bright yellow dragon robe may be difficult to make people feel close.

Zhu Youzhen waited for the meal to start, and it didn't matter if he was strolling around.

But Xue Fengxiang in the distance was in a hurry, for fear that if someone said the wrong thing, he would be in big trouble if he collided with the saint.

But he didn't dare to come over, after all, Zhu Youzhen had already said it very clearly, and asked him to go to the back and wait for dinner.

I can only look at it from afar, praying that nothing will happen.

"Hungry, aren't you?"

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen didn't have a bit of an emperor's shelf, he asked at a craftsman who looked a little older.

After that, he arched his hand, which made the craftsman with a little gray sideburns a little panicked.

I didn't know where to put my hands and feet for a while.

"Back to Your Majesty, the little people are not hungry."

"Do you usually feel like the food is still the right taste?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I dare not say that the food of this General Bureau of Weapons is better than that of Your Majesty, but in the eyes of the villain, it can be regarded as a delicacy.

Zhu Youzhen was not very satisfied.

"It's not enough to eat, you have to eat well, every craftsman in the General Bureau of Ordnance is the person I care about the most, as long as I can work well here, everyone can eat well and eat well, they can live a good life, and there is a new hope every day."

Zhu Youzhen's words not only touched the craftsmen in front of him, but also made the craftsmen around him closer.

There is a big gap between the emperor in front of him and the legendary Son of Heaven.

But this does not prevent them from feeling close to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen finished speaking.

Looking at the craftsmen around me, I felt a little uncomfortable.
