"Your Majesty...the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry are here!"
Returning to the main hall, Jing Fu bowed his hands and reported in a sharp voice.
"Yawn...Yeah! Got it!"
Because he waited for too long, Ying Zheng finished reviewing all the memorials and slept several times on the dragon table.
Little Shota also leaned on the chair to meet Zhou Jing.
Although all the ministers in the palace did not dare to sleep, they all had their heads drooped, listless, and yawned endlessly!
Jian Wenmin and others were different. They all bared their teeth and swayed from side to side, trying to reduce the pressure on their legs as much as possible.
But no matter how they tossed about, their knees were in excruciating pain.
Being able to persist until now is all because of resentment!
"Tell me, do you know who owns the factory being built?"
Ying Zheng shook his head and tried to calm himself down.
I originally planned to finish reviewing the memorial early and go see what the steam engine that guy had developed was.
It seems that it is not necessary now. You can have dinner directly after leaving the court!
"Your Majesty, this is a steam engine factory built for the young master!"
Lou Ziming, who took the lead, raised his hands slightly nervously and said.
"Your Majesty, have you heard everything? I am not impeaching you for no reason!"
Hearing this, Jian Wenmin's uncomfortable face finally felt a little relieved.
"Then did you get the salary from the young master?"
Ying Zheng ignored Jian Wenmin and continued to question the craftsmen.
"That's right, in addition to our normal salary, the young master will also give us an additional amount!"
When it comes to salary, Lou Ziming's face beams with joy.
For these low-level craftsmen, the monthly salary given by the court is not much.
Now that I have one more serving, it can relieve a lot of stress!
"How is it possible? The young master leaves the common people unused, but wants to provide two extra salaries for people from the Ministry of Labor? There must be something fishy about this!"
Even if she heard it with her own ears, Jian Wenmin still didn't believe it.
"What's so surprising about this? The craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry have a clear division of labor, mature technology, and without wasting time. If they hire scattered civilians, by the time the factory is built, steam engines will have been built to fill the entire steelmaking plant, and the purchased wool will still be there. Won’t it crowd the entire Xianyang City?”
Xiao Zhengtai stretched his waist and said slowly.
Since the newspaper announced the long-term purchase of wool, not only the counties and counties of Qin Dynasty have been transporting wool to Xianyang, but also the Huns have been sending hundreds of cars there every day.
That's why he ordered Huang Yuan to build a steam engine as quickly as possible. The next step was to produce a steam loom to digest the wool as quickly as possible!
"Well, what the young master said makes sense. The Ministry of Industry has used hundreds of craftsmen to ensure that it will be completed within a month. If it were ordinary people, even if they hired two to three hundred people, they would not be able to complete such a large project within a month. It’s a factory building, so even if the young master pays twice the price, it’s still a good deal!”
Mentioning this matter, Feng Quji stroked his beard slightly with satisfaction.
The steam engine is the core of all power, so Shota built a large factory in one step!
"This this……?"
Hearing this, Jian Wenmin was speechless. After sighing deeply, his vision went dark and he fell directly to the ground.
Xia Zheng and Lu Wan were also in the same situation. Their bodies shook twice, and they couldn't hold up anymore and fell to the ground!
"Someone, take them all down!"
Because some old guys delayed Ying Zheng from leaving the palace, he rolled his eyes and said dissatisfied.
"yes!"
The guards on both sides immediately stepped forward and dragged the three people down.
"Useless things!"
The impeachment failed, and Ying Fan was furious.
He said he was sure of it, but he didn't expect it to end up like this!
【Ding! Congratulations to the host, punish the person with ulterior motives, make him suffer the consequences, be disabled for life, and reward him with the blueprint of the steam train! 】
As soon as the three of them were taken away, the mechanical sound of the system came from Ying Feiyu's mind.
You can really come up with whatever you want!
In the past few days, he was thinking about looking for steam train drawings on Universal Search, and the system brother gave him a set directly!
Save him from wasting time on drawing!
"Feiyu, how are you going to handle this matter?"
Ying Zheng turned to look at Xiao Zhengtai and asked.
"Father, the censor's duty is to report things based on rumors. They are also afraid that their ministers will go astray, so they correct them. Let's forget it!"
Xiao Zhengtai waved her hand pretending to be generous.
"The young master is kind and cares about the world. After being impeached by someone with a caring heart, he didn't care!"
"Yes, if it were anyone else, dismissal from office and dismissal from office would be a frivolous matter, but if you don't get enough protection, you will be thrown into jail!"
"No! Don't talk about impeaching the prince. Even if someone impeaches me for no reason, I can't let him go easily!"
"Can you compare with the young master? The young master cares about the world...!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers present began to talk quietly, almost all of them were praising the little shota.
"Young Master, Jian Wenmin has obviously joined forces with Xia Zheng and is deliberately trying to catch you. Could he let him go so easily?"
Kang Anping, the Minister of Punishment, raised his hand angrily.
"Yes, this guy has ulterior motives. If he is not punished, he will bite the young master again one day!"
Meng Yi also holds the same opinion.
"No! It's not necessary. They are also thinking about Da Qin. Let's forget about it!"
Little Shota waved her chubby little hand and said with a smile.
The big brother of the system just said that they will suffer the consequences and be disabled for life!
It is estimated that he knelt in the court for too long, and because he was too old and had osteoporosis, he could not bear the weight of the body and broke his knees!
Let alone go to court for the rest of my life, I probably won’t even be able to walk!
So what if they were spared?
"Okay, let's leave this matter alone...!"
Ying Zheng nodded, and then asked with interest, "I heard that a steam engine has been successfully developed? What is the use of this machine?"
"Steam engines can replace manpower for pulling carts, weaving, farming, etc. The efficiency is much higher than manpower!"
Xiao Zhengtai explained briefly.
"What? Steam can pull a cart?"
Ying Zheng looked suspicious.
I’ve heard of ox-drawn carts, but I’ve never heard of steam-driven carts!
"Father, don't underestimate the power of steam. A steam train can carry thousands of people. A steam loom can spin cloth worth hundreds of people every day, and farm crops worth dozens of cattle. !”
"Hiss..."
As soon as Xiao Zhengtai finished speaking, the whole audience took a deep breath.
Even Ying Fan, who had always regarded Xiao Zhengtai as a thorn in his side, had a look of shock on his face!
If these words were spoken by someone else, everyone would definitely think that person is a lunatic!
But this was said by Xiao Zhengtai, so it must be true!
He is the disciple of the gods. He can control the wind and rain, create explosive weapons, and has brought earth-shaking changes to the Qin Dynasty!
"Is everything you kid said true?"
Ying Zheng's fingers were trembling with excitement.
"That's natural. Otherwise, why would I pay high prices to hire craftsmen from the Ministry of Works...?"
Xiao Zhengtai smiled mischievously and continued: "However, these things that Erchen mentioned need to be studied slowly one by one. The steam engine cannot be used directly after it is built. The steam engine is only its energy power!"
Looking at the expressions of these old guys, don't they think that a single steam engine can do so many things?
