Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Don't think that these doctors are cowards just because they are respectful in front of Du He. They often curse Du He, the Minister of Works, in private.

After Yu Chang took the drawings, he found that the contents on the four drawings were exactly the same, so he distributed them to the doctors of the four ministries.

The doctor from the Fourth Division just took a look and couldn't help but sigh.

"What a detailed structural diagram!"

"Although I am not a skilled craftsman, after seeing this clear structural diagram, I can also make this plow."

“I didn’t expect that Du Shangshu is not only an expert in craftsmanship, but also has an amazing talent in painting!”

The structural drawing that Du He gave them not only depicted the plow completely, but also gave a detailed description of the shape and size of each component.

No wonder Du He could become the Shangshu at such a young age. His brain and ability are better than those of them.

After a while.

Feng Jian, a doctor in the Military Farm Department, slapped his thigh and said, "Du Shangshu is truly a genius. He actually changed the straight shaft into a curved shaft. This is the first attempt in thousands of years!"

"Moreover, Minister Du also put something called a plow wheel at the head of the shaft, but I don't know how much effect it can have!"

"Although the plow has not been made yet, I think the new plow should be good."

Immediately afterwards, Yu Chang and several others also flattered Du He.

They didn't care whether the plow innovated by Du He was as effective as the previous straight plow, but at least they could make something to show for their work.

Xiao Kai, Du He's best friend, was the most surprised. He kept his mouth wide open the whole time.

He and Du He had known each other for more than ten years, and he had never seen Du He do any farming or weaving work, nor had he ever seen Du He be interested in craftsmanship.

The most common thing they did was to go to the brothels in Pingkangfang to drink and listen to music, or go out to the mountains to ride horses and hunt.

The abilities that Du He displayed now really made Xiao Kai feel unfamiliar.

Du He waved at them, and after they quieted down, he continued with a serious expression.

"You, the people from the Fourth Division, must make the plow on the blueprint within half a month."

"When the time comes, whichever department's plow makes the best plowing effect, I will give them the first credit!"

"The people in this department will receive 40% of the rewards issued by the court to the Ministry of Industry!"

Du He was allowed to play around for the first five days, and he didn't care whether they gained anything or not, because he had drawn the curved plow himself.

But the next important thing is to make the actual curved plow.

For a curved plow with the same structure, different workmanship quality will result in huge differences in the final effect.

With the drawings, they can make the curved plow in two or three days, and Du He gave them half a month to give them sufficient time for testing and improvement.

"Four percent!"

Upon hearing that Du He was going to give 40% of the reward to the department that made the best new plow, the doctor of the Fourth Department could not help but exclaimed.

If one of the companies took 40%, wouldn't the other three only be able to take 20%?

The reward is twice as much!

Thinking of such a huge gap in rewards, the four Shilangs felt nervous and replied with serious faces.

"As ordered!"

Even the playful Xiao Kai became serious. He knew that doing the plowing well was not only for face, but also related to the final reward of the officials below.

As the chief officer of the Yu Department, he had to do his best to let his brothers below get more money.

When Du He saw the impatient looks on several people's faces, he did not continue to waste their time.

"There's no time to lose, get down and get busy."

"No matter what means you use, I will make a new plow in half a month, and take it to the fields in Beiyuan for testing on the same day!"

"If anyone in any department does not do this seriously, I will punish them severely!"

When they saw that Du He, who usually smiled, suddenly emitted such a powerful aura, their faces became extremely solemn.

They stood up with serious faces and then shouted loudly in unison.

"Don't worry, Minister Du, we will do our best!"

After the doctors from the four departments paid their respects, they carefully placed the drawings in their sleeves and then rushed to leave Du He's office.

Du He looked at their anxious expressions and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Sometimes it is useless to say too many encouraging words, it is better to stimulate them with benefits.

Yu Chang asked in a low voice: "Minister Du, there are currently eight memorials that need your review. Shall I give them to you now?"

Du He nodded and said, "Bring it here."

Now that people in the states and counties knew that the national treasury was full, more and more people submitted memorials, requesting matters such as managing rivers and repairing official roads.

Du He basically agreed with those official roads that had fallen into disrepair and river channels that the court had not allocated funds for repair for many years.

As for the petitions for repairing the government office and frequently asking for money to manage the river, Du He rejected all of them.

Not long after, Yu Chang brought the memorial over.

Du He opened the memorial and gave instructions to Yu Chang.

"Minister Yu, in the next period of time, you must be prepared to face the assessment of the Ministry of Personnel."

"Our Ministry of Industry must vigorously train young officials like Xiao Kai who are young, energetic, and have made great contributions!"

"If his achievements are sufficient, it would be best if he could serve as an adjutant in the Nine Temples and Five Prisons. If his achievements are lacking, let him continue to accumulate experience in the Ministry of Works."

Hearing Du He's straightforward words, Yu Chang's face showed a hint of envy.

Xiao Kai is so lucky to have a good friend like Du He to take care of him.

Now Xiao Kai holds an official position of the fifth rank and is also the chief officer of the Yu Department. According to the normal promotion process, it is normal for him to be promoted to the position of junior supervisor of the Nine Temples and Five Supervisors.

It’s just that Xiao Kai is too young now, and his accumulated merits and political achievements are not enough, so he can only do his best.

Yu Chang thought for a few breaths, then he clasped his fists and bowed respectfully.

"As ordered!"

After Yu Chang finished his ceremony and left, Du He also opened the memorial on the desk and began to review it carefully.

On the other hand, Xiao Kai immediately gathered the people from the Yu Department and circulated the drawings drawn by Du He among them.

"Brothers, Du Shangshu has already drawn the straight plow we are going to make. Now we just need to make the plow to claim our reward!"

"Now, people from our four divisions will compete together. The division that makes the best plow within half a month will receive 40% of the reward!"

Wow!

Upon hearing this great news, everyone in the Yubu Division became excited.

While everyone was excited, one of the palm guards suddenly spoke.

"Doctor Xiao, our people in the Yubu Division are no match for the craftsmen in the Tuntian Division and Gongbu Division!"

"Competing with people from the other three divisions, our Yubu Division seems to be unable to compete..."
