Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

There is only one reason that can make these people calm down quickly.

The hidden message in Crown Prince Zhu Biao's words was: Although the steam engines must be decentralized, you have no right to interfere in how they are specifically distributed.

So the prince is definitely powerless to persuade.

After all, the prince is gentle. That is the attitude Zhu Biao chose himself. It does not mean that he and his father are really as different in temperament as water and fire.

Then who else can influence the court?

The court officials looked around and finally had to stop at the Ministry of Works queue and the vest of Zhao Zheng, the Minister of Works.

Many court officials who considered themselves old acquaintances of the Zhao Mansion shifted their gazes to the crown prince's tutor Ma Jia who was sitting in the corner of the court.

But what can they do if they know who can influence it?

This Minister of Works of the Zhao Mansion is the third Minister of Works, different from the left and right, almost higher than the Shangshu, and he is also the current head of the Zhao Mansion.

As for the Grand Master...

Everyone sat down in the Fengtian Hall...

No matter who these two people are, it seems that they are more difficult to persuade than Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

"My dear ministers! The regulations regarding steam engine quotas can be submitted to the cabinet after the court session!"

"But now, my dear ministers, have you forgotten something?"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao has become a bad person, and it is obvious to the naked eye.

Relying on the fact that he is still only the Crown Prince Regent and has not officially ascended the throne, he began to relax while feeling free.

But he could make jokes, but the other court officials couldn't.

"..."

At this moment, the court officials could only congratulate the Ministry of Works again, even though they had no idea what the research had turned out to be.

After Zhao Zheng and Wang Zheng returned the gifts, the faint smile on Crown Prince Zhu Biao's face finally faded.

"My two beloved ministers, along with all the beloved ministers in the Ministry of Works, I still need to inform my father of the specific rewards, but I can make the decision on other rewards."

"Lord Wang, Lord Zhao, please don't embarrass me on this. It would be better to create a good story and speak it out in the court, so that other Lords can follow suit."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao had a normal look on his face, but there seemed to be a smile that had not yet completely disappeared.

No matter what the court officials thought in their hearts, they all showed envy on their faces.

But the two parties involved knew, and the court officials also knew what Crown Prince Zhu Biao's idea was.

In fact, Crown Prince Zhu Biao was also feeling difficult, otherwise he would have a smile on his face at this moment.

Today's court meeting, both in terms of time and specific arrangements, disrupted Taiyang's plans.

Everyone was like the black rubber ring in Zhao Zheng's hand. When he didn't explain, everyone could only look at the packing box, thinking that it was the latest achievement of the Ministry of Industry.

After he finished his explanation, if Wang Zheng had not submitted a memorial with detailed instructions, Crown Prince Zhu Biao would have been locked up in a steel box with all the court officials, which would have been even worse than being kept in the dark.

Why is it that the dominant power in court meetings always falls into their hands after the Zhao family speaks?

That's why Crown Prince Zhu Biao had to procrastinate.

But he can't always use this trick.

"Your Highness!"

The Crown Prince and other court officials were waiting for the Ministry of Works to speak, or to be more precise, they were waiting for the two people in the front to speak.

The two of them naturally followed their original plan and looked at each other. Everything was self-explanatory. The atmosphere in the court and what the prince was thinking had nothing to do with them.

"The Ministry of Industry and the public jointly request Your Highness to pay attention to the craftsmanship!"

"Please ask the court to pay attention to the craftsmen!"

With two leaders leading the way, the workers' queue behind them naturally followed.

"Value craftsmanship?"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao's heart, which had been lifted up in the air, sank back into his stomach.

"Craftsmen are the foundation of the manufacturing industry, and the court has always attached great importance to them. What do you mean, my dear?"

The other court officials were also basically confused.

What's wrong with these people in the Ministry of Works? The prince's tactic of dragging his feet means that he just wants to give them some benefits and everyone will stop there.

Why does it seem like we are pleading for the people now? No, it’s like we are pleading for the craftsmen?

"Return to your highness!"

Facing the doubts of Crown Prince Zhu Biao and court officials, Wang Zheng was the most suitable person to speak, so Zhao Zheng did not say anything, but moved slightly towards the Ministry of Revenue queue.

"Scholars have Hanlin and Imperial Academy, and some have Zhubu and Xiansheng, but throughout the ages, craftsmen have been working for a long time, and they are called craftsmen but they are actually servants!"

"I, your humble servant, and the Ministry of Works have long felt that the craftsmen of the world are not treated fairly! Your Highness, please correct us!"

After saying this, Wang Zheng looked at the Minister of Revenue, Lu Shang, as if he was dissatisfied.

But after hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao felt relieved, and the court officials also felt relieved.

It turns out that he just wanted a reputation.

Compared to asking for gold and silver directly, asking for status for your subordinates is indeed a bigger plan.

"Then how do you want the court to correct this, my dear minister? Excuse me, my dear minister!"

"Chen is here!"

Minister of Rites Xie Jin stepped out with a serious expression and waited for Wang Zheng's answer together with Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness! I request that the court establish a new engineering department in the Imperial College! I do not ask for officialdom, but only for the change of labor service into recruitment!"

Wang Zheng's answer made Crown Prince Zhu Biao feel relieved, and then he finally smiled.

But this time he didn't laugh for long.

"Your Highness!"

"Minister Wang mentioned that craftsmen are not valued, so I have to say something!"

Zhao Zheng seemed really surprised by this scene, and looked at the Minister of Revenue Lu Shang who came out from beside him with a confused look on his face.

"Mr. Lu?"

It was chaos. The court was in complete chaos. No one remembered the original purpose of today's court meeting. Perhaps that was not the purpose in the first place.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao suddenly felt a headache, but he could not help but pay attention to Lu Shang.

"Your Highness! The Ministry of Revenue under my command is not just composed of mathematicians, but also tens of millions of farmers in our Sun Moon Dynasty!"

"If the craftsmen under his Ministry of Works have grievances, then the farmers should have them too!"

"It's rare for a saint like the former Saint of Agriculture to appear in the world, but there are some outstanding ones. They are the foundation of our Sun and Moon Dynasty, exposed to the wind and sun every day, and then they become the tax collection achievements of the local officials, but they are only praised as being good at farming. Even if there is an auspicious sign, it is not the farmer who gets the reward."

"This old minister is shameless, and I hope Your Highness will take it seriously!"

There is nothing to fault with what the Minister of Revenue, Lu Shang, said.

The Ministry of Industry should be rewarded for researching new things, but farmers are busy in the fields every day. Just because it is a daily routine, they cannot get rewarded?

Other officials were eager to watch the fun, so the court became completely chaotic.

......

"So Lord Lu also wants a branch of the Imperial College?"

Lu Shang nodded, and Wang Zheng pointed at him with a half-helpless and half-smile.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. After all, those people were originally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue. There was no need to pay them salaries and start a new business. He just needed a name.

And there are benefits to this, which will make the people more supportive of the court.

I just feel a little tired, tired that the political situation in the court is completely messed up.

"My dear ministers, I am willing to do this! But I cannot make the decision on my own! The Imperial College is under the charge of Lord Song. If you can get Lord Song's nod, then this matter will be done!"

Just like that, this burden was thrown onto Song Lian, the current chief academic officer of the Imperial College and the Imperial Academy.

All eyes turned to this old minister.

"Your Highness! I think this is a great idea! It can be implemented in all the Imperial Colleges today!"
