When he arrived at the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, Ren Ning got off his horse.
Although the disciple didn't recognize Ren Ning, as soon as he saw the majestic Zhui Feng, he knew that he couldn't afford to offend him, so he quickly greeted him respectfully.
Soon he entered the Shangshu Mansion and saw Luo Ken, who was slightly hunched over.
Yesterday, Luo Ken was among the team that went out to welcome Ren Ning.
Although he was confused, he still asked someone to serve him some good tea, and then he said cheerfully: "General Ren has just returned to the imperial capital, and there must be a lot of things to do. What is the purpose of your visit?"
"Master Shangshu is joking." Ren Ning shook his head and said with a smile: "Ren Ning is just a big-headed soldier. Fortunately, he was selected as the leading general to escort the prisoners. After the prisoner presentation yesterday, the mission to go north has come to an end. At this time, it is Very free."
"Really?" Luo Ken was noncommittal.
He is an important minister in the Sixth Department and has read every battle report sent back from the south. He knew Ren Ning's ability and patience.
Ren Ning smiled faintly.
He was not familiar with Luo Ken, and they were not in the same department, so he opened the door and said, "If you have nothing to do, please go to the Three Treasures Hall. Luo Shangshu, please read this letter first."
After speaking, he handed over Princess Yiguang's "letter of introduction".
Luo Ken hesitated for a moment, then took it blankly and started reading.
The letter wasn't too long, but it took him a while to read it.
Looking at the signature at the end, Luo Ken perked up and quickly read it again carefully.
Before he finished, he hurriedly asked: "General Ren, have you brought your crane drawings?"
As for why Ren Ning didn't find the Ministry of War of the same system to build this crane, Luo Ken didn't ask.
But even without asking him, he knew the reason.
When Ren Ning returned to the imperial capital for the first time, it sounded like he didn't have a strong foundation. At worst, he had no foundation at all. He probably had no way to turn to him.
The Minister of the Ministry of War, who is in the same system as him, has always been displeased with the government of Zhenguo.
Whenever there is a war, Guanyi, the Minister of War, is either worried about insufficient logistics and food, or worried that the enemy is cunning and powerful, so he is reluctant to send troops anyway.
The Zhenguo Mansion, on the other hand, was just the opposite of him, always making decisions without saying anything.
Coupled with the shortage of iron ore at this time, if Ren Ning handed over this kind of crane to the Minister of War, it would most likely be shelved.
"Guanyi, Guanyi, thank you for not liking the Duke of Zhenguo." Luo Ken clicked his tongue.
How many people want to connect to the Zhenguogong Mansion, but they always have no way to get in. It's good now that opportunity comes to his door.
"Brought it." Ren Ning didn't know what Luo Ken was thinking. He nodded and took out the thick drawing.
There are both general assembly drawings and parts drawings of single parts. In total, I drew nearly two hundred paintings.
"So many?" Luo Ken was stunned: "General Ren, did you draw them all by yourself?"
Ren Ning explained with a smile: "It's a full 12,000 miles from Nanfeng to the imperial capital. I drew casually when I stopped to rest every day, and I drew so many without even realizing it."
Luo Ken was speechless. He shook the thick drawings loudly, feeling overwhelmed.
Open it and take a look.
Although there were many parts that Luo Ken couldn't understand, every picture was drawn neatly and orderly, with all the dimensional data available, and some important components were even marked with detailed process parameters.
If you think about it, you will know that the owner must have put a lot of thought into it.
He first sent people to find people who knew the technology, and only then did he get the general idea.
"General Ren, since you have such talents, it would be a pity to charge into the battle. Why don't you come to work in our Ministry of Works. At least a doctor from the Ministry of Works can't run away."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Ren Ning could say anything, Luo Ken couldn't help but laugh.
The doctor from the Ministry of Industry was forced to die before he was promoted to the fifth rank.
And Ren Ning will soon be a titled general, at least the fifth rank. In addition, he already has a certain foundation in the military. Everyone knows that it is impossible for Ren Ning to abandon martial arts and start over from scratch.
After a while, Qin Ming, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry in charge of technology, hurried over.
He didn't even bother to wipe his sweat, and bowed his head and said, "Sir, why are you summoning your subordinates so urgently?"
"Qin Ming, this is General Ren." Luo Ken first introduced Ren Ning's deeds.
Qin Ming was shocked and hurriedly saluted: "So you are General Ren Ningren who was escorted back to Beijing as a prisoner. Qin has a great name that he has admired for a long time. It is true that a hero comes from a young age."
Ren Ning smiled and chatted with him for a few words.
Luo Ken pointed to the thick drawings on the table, "General Ren invented a device called a crane. It is said that a single person can lift tens of thousands of kilograms of weight. Come and take a look."
laugh!
Qin Ming took a breath of cold air and quickly came over after regaining his composure.
Ren Ning first took out the assembly drawing and briefly explained the principle of the crane. After waiting for Qin Ming, who was stunned to understand, he casually pulled out a simple drawing.
"Mr. Qin, take a look at these drawings first. If you don't understand anything, just ask."
Qin Ming asked until night fell.
Ren Ning was about to go home, but he was still reluctant to leave.
"General Ren, don't leave in a hurry. Stay and have dinner with us." Luo Ken invited warmly.
Ren Ning smiled and said: "I'm so sorry, Lord Shangshu. Ren Ning has been away in the army and rarely comes home. My wife is still waiting for me. Let's do it next time."
"I see. Then I won't stay as general." Although Luo Ken was regretful, he nodded to express his understanding.
A long absence is better than a newlywed.
After watching Ren Ning ride away, he turned to Qin Ming: "Can this crane really lift ten thousand jins as he said?"
Qin Ming hesitated.
"Sir, I haven't seen the real thing, and my subordinates can't guarantee it."
"But General Ren's vow does not look like he is lying. Moreover, his three-dimensional drawing method looks very mature and feasible, far better than the inheritance method of our Ministry of Industry."
He concluded: "It is estimated that this equipment can lift 10,000 kilograms, which is not far away."
Luo Ken didn't hear that much, he waved his hand: "No matter whether this crane can lift a weight of 10,000 kilograms, you must build it as soon as possible, do you understand?"
Qin Ming had a lot of work on his hands at this time, but looking at his serious boss, he could only nod his head in agreement.
When Ren Ning returned home, there were several more people in the dining room. Taking a closer look, they were all soldiers from Xingluo or Zhennanguan that he was familiar with.
"General!" Several people shouted and stood up in unison.
"It's not like we're in a military camp or on a mission, so there's no need to be too restrained. Let's sit down and eat together." Ren Ning motioned for a few people to sit down, then turned to Lei Er and asked, "Where's Yingpan?"
"Sister-in-law has already eaten."
Ren Ning nodded: "In that case, let's chat while eating."
"Do you know about the dragon boat race with Prince Zhenguo?" he asked.
Everyone nodded with joy on their faces.
"Know."
"It is an honor for our Zhennanguan officers and men to race dragon boats with the crown prince."
"Maybe I can meet Her Royal Highness Princess Yiguang during training..."
Ren Ning laughed dumbly.
Xingluo is the first-class legion of the Yunchui Empire. The soldiers under his command are not too obsessed with worshiping generals from other legions.
But Zhennanguan is different from the counties in the south.
For more than 40 years, they had grown up listening to the story of Huo Zheng and Princess Yiguang who swept through Nanfeng to save the people in the south, so they were naturally full of yearning for the Zhenguo Palace.
In the afternoon, they heard that they could participate in the dragon boat race with the Duke of Zhenguo. All the soldiers couldn't wait to sign up.
Especially when they heard that the training would be held at the lake in the Zhenguo Palace and that they might meet the eldest princess Yiguang, everyone was even more crazy.
Not to mention that Lei Er only chose six people, even sixty would probably not be a problem.
