Iron Dynasty

　　 "As long as it is the oil you eat."

　　 This is the last word that Xiao Ming said before sending Wang Shijie away.

　　 At present, he does not want to waste too much time on the four families. The reason for sharing the benefits with the four families is that his purpose is to create the illusion that we are still friends for the four families.

　　 For him, he could not tolerate the existence of his own fief and noble clans, because this would seriously threaten his rule.

　　 The current disadvantages of the big clan and clansmen of the Great Yu Kingdom are in sight, and he will not repeat the same mistakes.

　　 sent away Wang Shijie, Xiao Ming called Pang Yukun over with a wealth of money. Now with the output of technology, the products produced by the Department of Equipment and Wangfu will increase in the future.

　　 Zui Qingzhou and Perfume He arranged in the Wangfu, only Wangfu Jia Ding participated, for the sake of confidentiality.

　　 He doesn't believe that other people will be so honest and will not send people to spy on the craftsmanship of the Equipment Department and Wangfuzhong, so he now asks Pang Yukun to formally establish the Patent Department.

　　 All the craftsmanship of the Equipment Department will be put on record in the Patent Department, and Chen Wenlong is personally responsible. Any individual, merchant, or official who plagiarizes the patent will be sentenced to a felony, and the serious one will be directly executed.

　　 Anyone who uses a patent needs to pay the patent fee.

　　 Of course, Xiao Ming currently has no plans to sell patents, but patent regulations need to be established in advance.

　　 At the same time, he also discussed with Pang Yukun that any private invention can be patented, which promotes the research atmosphere of the people.

　　 In addition to the establishment of the Patent Department, the Minerals Department was established at the same time. This is the prelude to Xiao Ming's preparation for the construction of a government-run mine. As long as he masters minerals, industry is in his hands.

　　 Pang Yukun has no objection to Xiao Ming's measures one after another. In his opinion, as long as King Qi is willing to do business, it is impeccable, and the remaining implementation issues are his problems.

　　 Because the snow stopped, Qingzhou seemed to come alive, and the city suddenly became lively.

　　 Xiao Ming took advantage of Wang Shijie to buy edible oil, and organized the family of the palace to make soda ash. Although this method of cooking limestone and plant ash together is soil, it is indeed the most suitable method at present.

　　 In this kind of busyness, the days passed day by day. On this day, a person suddenly appeared in the palace, and everyone in the palace was boiling.

　　 "His Royal Highness, Li San is back." Xiao Ming, who was studying how to make large quantities of disposable soap, was suddenly interrupted by Lu Luo's surprise cry.

　　 Xiao Ming dropped the brush and laughed and said, "After all the days, I said I should be back."

　　 was talking, I saw Li San carrying a package to the front. Seeing Xiao Ming, Li San bowed and said, "Your Highness, the slave is back."

　　 "Exemption." Xiao Ming smiled. He was anxious to know the details of Li San's trip to Chang'an, so he asked: "How about talk about it?"

Li San handed the package to Luluo. He said: "The empress Zhenfei sent Liuli to me and told me that the perfume of her Royal Highness is very popular with the empress empress, and the concubine in the palace also likes it very much. It is said that the emperor was drunk at the empress empress in Qingzhou. I couldn't bear to abandon the cup anymore, the emperor praised the wine made by his highness."

　　 Luluo flushed with excitement, "I just said that the girls would like it."

　　 Xiao Ming nodded. It is not normal for them to dislike these magical things. He asked, "Is there nothing else."

Li San knowingly smiled and said: "This time, the emperor Longyan Joye personally instructed Cui Zhang, the minister of household department, to allocate 200,000 taels of silver to His Highness at the meeting, saying that if His Highness can be diligent in government affairs in the future, he will divide the million taels of silver. Give it to Your Highness."

　　 "Stuck at the door." Xiao Ming was speechless. The one million taels of silver was allocated by the court during every prince's domain.

The purpose of 　　 is basically the same as the start-up capital given to the rich second generation by modern rich businessmen.

For more than a hundred years since the founding of the Great Yu Kingdom, although wars have continued in the North, the people in the South still live very comfortably, and commerce and handicrafts are also very developed. In Xiao Ming’s opinion, the taxation level of the Great Yu country is basically comparable to the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. .

　　 So the court is still wealthy, and at this point Qian Xiao Wenxuan is still stingy, and he can't help but despise it.

At this time Qian Dafu was also alarmed. He walked over and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, two hundred thousand taels is not too much. It can always ease the urgent need. It is better to give these two silvers to the Department of Minerals. The preparation of the mine requires silver. of."

　　 Xiao Ming had a headache and said, "You know that you need money before you take up the post. You can't give two hundred thousand taels, but only half."

"His Royal Highness." Qian Dafu smiled. One hundred thousand taels is better than nothing. After the establishment of the Minerals Department, his responsibility is very heavy, because not only coal mines, iron mines, limestone mines, graphite mines need to be mined, but also other Xiao Ming designated Mine.

　　 These hundred thousand taels of silver are estimated to be snow falling into the water, and I can't even hear a sound.

　　 Li San gave Qian Dafu a salute and said: "His Royal Highness, in addition to the silver given by the emperor, this time Empress Zhen asked the slave to bring 200,000 taels of silver tickets to her."

　　 "Where does the mother concubine have so much money." Xiao Ming was taken aback.

　　 Li San said: "Naturally, it is your Royal Highness's perfume. This is all the deposit given by the ladies to your Royal Highness. The reasons for this are in the letter."

　　 While speaking, Li San sent a letter to Xiao Ming.

　　 After opening the letter and reading it, Xiao Ming frowned suddenly~www.ltnovel.com~ This silver is made by each palace concubine's special perfume, but this is not the point.

　　 The point is that the empress Zhao and the prince were mentioned in the letter of the concubine Zhen. It is understandable to mention the empress Zhao, but the problem with the prince is serious.

　　 Although Concubine Zhen only mentioned a few sentences in the letter, Xiao Ming also understood that the purpose of Empress Zhao helping herself this time was not simple.

　　 "Your Highness, what's the matter?" Qian Dafu asked when Xiao Ming's expression was wrong.

"Trouble, this was misunderstood. Together with the four princes, this king was assassinated. This time, Empress Zhao deliberately pulled this king into a support for the prince. Didn't this king offend all the princes who wanted to abolish the prince?" Xiao Ming Handed the letter to Qian Dafu.

Sweeping his eyes, Qian Dafu frowned, "It is true. The letter says that Empress Zhao and the prince are sympathetic to His Royal Highness’s suffering in Qingzhou, and will come to Qingzhou with one hundred thousand taels of silver with the emperor’s silver. This outsider just saw it. understood."

　　 After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said lazily: "Since the money has been delivered, let's not let it go. The most important thing now is the development of the fief. If we can share the source of the princes, it would be the best."

　　" His Royal Highness said that even if there is no prince, His Royal Highness is trapped by the four princes. Instead of letting the four princes take advantage, it is better to stand on the side of the prince to make money for the time being. After all, the prince is orthodox now.

Xiao Ming thinks the same way. As long as Xiao Wenxuan is still there, it is almost impossible for the prince to be abolished. If he takes advantage of this time to vigorously develop and waits for the prince to be abolished, then his fief will also become stronger. If the prince is not abolished, He is also willing to be a free and easy prince. At that time, other princes were so scared~www.ltnovel.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read.
