The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"R&D center?"

Minister of Works Qu Xuan could not help but frown. He never expected that Ye Feng's reform would actually start from his Ministry of Works.

You know, since ancient times, the Ministry of Works has always had a very high status among the six ministries. The main reason is that they are only responsible for civil engineering, canal construction, etc., and the power in their hands is related to the people. The people of the Song Dynasty were so poor that they could not even get enough food. Except for the annual droughts and floods, there was not much money at other times.

When he heard the words "R&D Center" from Ye Feng, his old face was somewhat stunned, and his heart was filled with resentment. He had originally thought of reporting Li Linpu that night and submitting his surrender to Ye Feng, but he did not expect that after several days, Ye Feng still did not take action against Li Linpu, which made him feel extremely anxious.

In recent days, many unfamiliar faces have appeared outside his mansion. Those people are most likely the spies planted by Li Linpu.

"May I ask, Lord Zhenguo, what is a research and development center?"

Qu Xuan gave a look to a minister behind him, who then walked to the center of the court and asked Ye Feng questions.

The rest of the officials also looked at Ye Feng curiously. It was the first time they heard the words "R&D center" and they were very confused.

"The Ministry of Industry should be responsible for the system of civil engineering construction, the use of tools, the method of dredging canals and dams, and the provisions of mausoleums. It should be responsible for all civil engineering, water conservancy projects, machine manufacturing projects (including military weapons, munitions, military tools, etc.), mining, metallurgy, textiles and other government-run industries throughout the country, and should be in charge of part of the financial currency and unified weights and measures."

Ye Feng swept his eyes over all the civil and military officials, and his powerful voice resounded throughout the entire hall. Every word he said left many officials stunned and their ears were filled with anger.

If what Ye Feng said is true, the future status of the Ministry of Industry will be greatly improved, and the power it controls will be greater.

"Your Majesty, how should the Ministry of Works operate in the future?" Qu Xuan asked Ye Feng tentatively. He wanted to see how Ye Feng would arrange it.

"As the saying goes, everyone has his own specialty and responsibilities. The Ministry of Works plays a very important role. From now on, I will directly manage the Ministry of Works. After the court is dismissed, please take me to inspect the Ministry of Works, Lord Qu."

Ye Feng looked at Qu Xuan. He knew what the other party meant very well. His expression was indifferent. Qu Xuan's ability was indeed not enough to be the Minister of Works.

Over the years, Qu Xuan relied on Li Linpu's support to be promoted all the way to the Minister of Works, a third-rank official.

However, Ye Feng does not have a suitable candidate for the Minister of Works for the time being. Li Bing and his son are possible, but the latter is still dealing with floods in the three northern counties!

"The next official must do his best."

Qu Xuan was secretly delighted when he heard this. Hearing that Ye Feng wanted him to take him to inspect the Ministry of Works meant that his position as the Minister of Works was saved.

Li Xun's face was gloomy. Hearing the conversation between Qu Xuan and Ye Feng, he was furious. If it were in the past, Qu Xuan would never dare to be so arrogant. It was obvious that he wanted to curry favor with Ye Feng.

"If everyone has nothing else to do, let's adjourn the court!"

Ye Feng stood up and walked towards the side of the court.

"Sir Qu, congratulations. From now on, your Ministry of Industry will be the treasure of the king. When the time comes, please say a few good words to me."

After seeing Ye Feng leave, Li Xun's eyes became gloomy. He quickly came to Qu Xuan and spoke in a cold voice with a strong murderous intent.

"What are you talking about, Prince's tutor? It is my honor to serve Lord Zhenguojun." Qu Xuan heard the threat in Li Xun's words, but did not back down at all.

He is now completely desperate. If he cannot hold on to Ye Feng, the big tree, and he continues to follow Li Linpu, he won't know how he will die.

He might as well draw a clear line between himself and Li Linpu now. If doing so can earn Ye Feng's favor, perhaps he can survive.

"Xun'er, don't mess around."

Li Linpu scolded, and he never looked at Qu Xuan from beginning to end. As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the court.

"Humph!"

Qu Xuan snorted coldly and walked outside.

"Master Yu, our Prime Minister is really mourning the loss of his life. He was the one who promoted Qu Xuan in the past, and now he obviously wants to find another way out."

Hai Ming is the Minister of Revenue. For so many years, the entire court has been controlled by Li Linpu. If it were in the past, even if Qu Xuan had ten thousand guts, he would not dare to speak to Li Xun like this.

"When the Lord Zhenguo does something, there is always a deep meaning behind it. We should not speculate rashly." Yu Shouren knew Ye Feng's character very well. It was obvious that he wanted to completely dismantle the power in Li Linpu's hands from within. Given Li Linpu's cunningness, Ye Feng could not convict Li Linpu if he could not find sufficient evidence after so many years.

"I have been in the government for decades, and I have a clear idea in my mind. As long as I can take the Great Song Dynasty as my responsibility, it doesn't matter who is the emperor or who is in charge of the Great Song Dynasty."

"As long as the people of the entire Song Dynasty can have enough food and clothing, live in peace and harmony, and no longer suffer the ravages of war, that's enough!"

Yu Shouren stood there, naturally with a calm and calm aura. Even a great official like Hai Ming, who had served with Yu Shouren for several months, admired his calmness and broad-mindedness. He was concerned about the people of the world and the rise and fall of his country, but never cared about his personal honor and disgrace.

……

Qu Xuan walked in front, his old face full of smiles, and he led Ye Feng with great enthusiasm. After a while, they arrived at the Ministry of Works.

The six ministries of the Song Dynasty were located on both sides of the imperial palace, only a few hundred meters away from the palace gate.

There were two guards standing outside the Ministry of Works. When they saw Qu Xuan walking in front with a flattering smile on his face, and then saw the Emperor's Sword on Ye Feng's waist, they immediately realized that the other party must be the extremely powerful monarch.

"Greetings to the Lord of Zhenguo."

The two guards quickly knelt down and saluted.

Ou Zhizi also followed Ye Feng and walked towards the Ministry of Industry.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

As soon as Ye Feng walked into the Ministry of Works, he saw dozens of guards not far away carrying large baskets of soapberries and pouring them into a huge boiler, where a lot of sticky liquid was boiled out, which they then put into porcelain one spoonful at a time.

"Your Excellency, this sticky liquid is made from soapberry. It can be used for bathing and can lubricate the skin. If you add some rose petals, it will have a fragrance. The quantity is not very large. Only officials above the sixth rank in Jinling City can receive a small basin every month."

Qu Xuan quickly explained to Ye Feng.

"Why is it so troublesome?"

Ye Feng suddenly realized that he had been using the shower gel and soap in the storage space for bathing for so many years since he came to Jiuzhou. When he was in the Wei Dynasty, he was thinking about how to assist Lin Xiaoxiang to ascend the throne and take charge of the Jinyiwei, and he had no time to manage the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.

It must be said that the cultivation system of Jiuzhou in front of me is very different from that of China in my previous life. Various industrial systems are almost zero, which is really very low-level.

"Hmm? Lord Zhen Guo, please forgive me!"

Everyone's faces were filled with shock and astonishment. They didn't understand what Zhenguojun meant. They all thought that they had done something wrong and Zhenguojun was not satisfied, so they all knelt down quickly.
