After hearing Empress Dowager Xiang's description and reading Shen Kuo's memorial, the Empress Dowager in Baoci Palace also became happy and said: "This minister, Emperor Daxing has indeed chosen very well!"
A minister who doesn't take credit, which suits her very well.
And she and Empress Dowager Xiang had achieved such a political achievement just after taking office, which made her very happy!
It should be noted that this is a political achievement that occurred under her rule!
No matter what future generations say, this credit is all related to her!
It’s all thanks to her, the Queen Mother!
However, she still kept it in mind and said to the Queen Mother: "This matter should be handled by a responsible person, who will verify it!"
"If that's true..." The Empress Dowager smiled: "God bless our country! God bless the country!"
He nodded to the Queen Mother and said, "What the Queen Mother said is true!"
…
Zhang Dun took a sip of the wine he had just received from Li Qingchen!
Li Qingchen’s family has a brewing master!
The Yuye wine brewed cannot even be compared to the brewing master in Yuxianzheng shop.
Therefore, Zhang Dun would always go to play in the autumn breeze every now and then.
With the wine in his throat, Zhang Dun slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Sheng Zuo...Sheng Zuo..." The old official's voice came from outside the door.
Zhang Dun opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The two palaces have issued decrees..." the old official replied at the door: "Please send someone to the Specialized Arms Manufacturing Bureau to take a look..."
Zhang Dun immediately stood up and said to the man: "Bring the decree to me and see!"
Zhang Zihou is on duty in Dongfu today, and Han Jiang, the right minister, is in Xiu Mu today. Zhang Hong, the minister of Zhongshu, was ordered by Han Jiang to visit the counties and villages under Kaifeng Prefecture to collect the opinions of local elders and scholar-bureaucrats on military service. .
As for Li Qingchen?
These days, he is busy dealing with a mess left by Emperor Daxing - the Bianjing City Expansion Project.
What to do with the tens of thousands of hired civilian workers and the unfinished projects? How to deal with it?
These things are very troublesome and trivial.
A ruler must handle it personally to avoid being tricked by people below.
Zhang Dun and the others knew very well that now it seemed that except for Sima Guang, all the old party elders had ceased their activities.
But who knows, are they dormant, waiting for opportunities, or are they secretly harboring ulterior motives?
Therefore, you must not leave any clues to others!
Especially in the Gyeonggi area, you should be more cautious!
Soon, Zhang Dun received the decree from the two palaces.
After reading this, Zhang Dun's eyes flashed with brilliance.
After thinking about it, he picked up his pen and started reporting.
He, Zhang Zihou, wanted to take over this task personally and go to the Specialized Arms Manufacturing Bureau to take a look!
"Smelting copper with courage?" Zhang Dun smiled: "This is something Shen Cunzhong can do!"
Among the ministers who rose up after the Xining Reform, Lu Huiqing was the toughest, Zeng Bu was the smoothest, and Li Qingchen was the gentlest...
And Shen Kuo and Shen Cunzhong...
What he is best at is these weird things!
Zhang Dun remembered that when Shen Kuo learned about Yanzhou, he went to see the local "oil" that emerged from the underground rocks in Yanzhou. He also named this oil "you" and used this oil to After igniting it, many ink ingots were made. They gave the ink ingots the elegant name "Yanchuan Stone Liquid" and sent a batch to ministers in both the government and the public.
Zhang Dun also received several pieces, and the results were good after trying them out!
However, if Shen Cunzhong had known about the method of smelting copper with gall water, Xining and Yuanfeng would have presented it to the court in exchange for credit.
Unless Shen Cunzhong knew this method when he was in Suizhou.
Therefore, Zhang Dun is now very curious - whether Shen Kuo found out about it in Suizhou or after arriving in Bianjing.
If it's the former, consider him lucky.
If it's the latter...
Zhang Dun licked his tongue. He remembered Confucius's words.
Those who are born knowledgeable are superior, those who are knowledgeable are inferior, and those who have learned a lot and are knowledgeable are inferior!
Only a saint can know it from birth!
…
Zhang Dun's request was quickly approved without any surprise.
With the approval of the two palaces, Zhang Dun handed over the errands of the capital hall to Han Zhongyan, the minister of rites who was on duty in the six departments, and asked him to help take care of the affairs of the capital hall.
He mounted his horse directly, took seven or eight Yuan followers with him, and left the capital hall.
It is now approaching midsummer in June, and the temperature in Bianjing City is getting higher and higher.
Especially during the day, the sun is dazzling and there are almost no pedestrians on the street.
Only the peace trains, pulled by seven or eight draft horses, slowly rolled through the streets.
As the embankment department rushed to buy, the city's business was abandoned.
The business atmosphere and commodity economy in Bianjing City are obviously more prosperous and prosperous than in the past.
But Zhang Dun knew that most of all the benefits ended up in the hands of those big merchants and the clans and relatives who stood behind these big merchants.
The lives of ordinary people and small traders may not be better than when the Market Change Law was implemented.
Maybe even worse!
At least when the market leader is there, the market leader has the final say on prices.
Now that there is no market transaction, prices are decided by the major guilds in Bianjing.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dun let out a sigh of relief.
He knows that the current situation is already the best!
During the period when Emperor Daxing was seriously ill and in the half month after his death, people in Bianjing City and Luoyang were talking about "putting an end to Wang Anshi's evil methods" and "returning peace to the people of the world"!
At that time, Zhang Zihou was already prepared to be demoted from the capital!
How can I be as relaxed and happy as I am now?
…
Half an hour later, Zhang Dun arrived in front of the official office of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau in Jinchengfang.
This was his first time coming to this mysterious official residence of the Daxing Emperor.
I got off my horse in front of the official office and handed in the post.
After a while, Zhang Dun saw Shen Kuo's familiar face.
"I have seen the provincial minister!" Shen Kuo greeted him with a smile and bowed his hands.
"Brother Cunzhong, there is no need to be polite!" Zhang Dun also laughed and returned the salute, saying: "I am here today to take a look at the bronze smelting with gall water presented by Brother Cunzhong. Secret method'..."
Zhang Dun got straight to the point and stated his intention directly.
It’s also a test!
Therefore, Zhang Dun didn't wait for Shen Kuo's answer before he held up his hands and said happily with a smile: "Brother Cunzhong is really a good trick!"
"I have only been in office for less than a month, but I have already made such great contributions to the country and the country!"
How dare Shen Kuo admit this?
He immediately bowed and said, "Song Zuo...be careful what you say! Be careful what you say!"
"In this matter, the lower official was just following orders..."
Zhang Dun's face immediately became serious, and he looked at Shen Kuo: "Brother Cunzhong, please don't resign humbly..."
Shen Kuo cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare! I don't dare!"
Zhang Dun looked at Shen Kuo and suddenly took a step forward and asked, "Brother Cunzhong...really got the young master's secret edict and advice?"
Shen Kuo swallowed his saliva, and he could only say: "The emperor is wise, handsome, and holy. He personally teaches his subordinates the principles of a saint, and personally gives them the classics of the sages..."
Zhang Dun understands!
Sure enough it is!
He took a deep breath!
This is the most direct and important evidence he has found so far!
The young master really has his own ideas!
Moreover, he is really doing something secretly!
Although Zhang Dun had known for a long time that this would be the result, this was the moment when the truth was really revealed.
He was still shocked!
The young master is only a little over eight years old. Even including the false age to the outside world, he is only ten years old!
How did he possess such a city, mind and skills?
Is it true that anyone is born knowing this?
Zhang Dun then lowered his voice and said to Shen Kuo: "Brother Cunzhong, this is not the place to talk..."
"Please find a secluded place..."
"Tell me more about this matter..."
Shen Kuo had already had this idea.
Because Shen Kuo knew that if he wanted to develop the great road, one person was not enough.
We must attract people, attract like-minded people!
Now, the only people he can bring in are those who have similar positions to him and have similar ambitions to govern.
…
Two hours later, when night fell, Zhang Dun rode out of the official office of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau.
His mind was buzzing.
"Study things to gain knowledge!" Four words ran rampant inside.
Make him excited, excited, and eager to try!
It also calls him fear, uneasiness and suspicion.
Because, Zhang Dun remembered an old saying: Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger!
Ordinary kings are like man-eating tigers to their ministers.
An emperor who already possesses the skills of an adult at the age of eight and knows how to restrain himself and disguise himself.
How terrible will he be when he grows up? !
But Zhang Dun knew that he was like a fish that had been caught in a fisherman's net.
He was unable to break free from this dragnet!
This is a website compiled by fame!
Originally there were 4 updates today, but it turned out that even for 3 updates of 9,000 words, I still owed 2,000. It’s miserable!
