Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

"Brick oven..."

Zhu Yunhuan tapped the tabletop thoughtfully with his fingertips, a faint smile playing on his lips. A thought struck him: "It seems that just a casual remark today not only brought me here, but also brought me to the brick furnace."

Regarding the issue of naval guns mentioned by Ma Sanbao, the ship is the carrier, and the key point lies in the guns.

If one wants to improve the artillery of this era, both the gunpowder formula and steel materials with strong enough pressure-bearing capacity are indispensable.

But they wanted to produce steel in large quantities.

Firing high-quality refractory materials to cast steel furnaces is another key.

Fortunately, when Zhu Yunhuan first ascended the throne, he took into account the importance of steel in all aspects of the future, and began to make relevant preparations early on, and ordered the construction of brick furnaces to begin.

Zhu Pingyue nodded and thought to himself, "As the Doctrine of the Mean says, 'Everything is established by preparation, while failure is inevitable.' While the ancient Four Books and Five Classics contain some pedantic rhetoric, they do contain some truth."

but……

Zhu Yunhuan said with a hint of helplessness: "Build a palace? Who told you to build a palace? And the Taoist sect... Do you think I am..." He immediately paused here and did not continue complaining.

Build a palace and a temple?

Do you think he is Zhu Houcong, the unfilial descendant of Judy's family?

It would be embarrassing to say this, but when I think about it, what I have been doing these days seems to be following Zhu Houcong's path.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"I am the humble minister who spoke nonsense!"

Qin Kui's expression immediately changed, and he slumped to his knees with a thump. He couldn't help but regret it internally: "Qin Kui, oh Qin Kui, you've taken another risk! When I built the flying shuttle a while ago, I misjudged His Majesty's intentions and made the wrong dimensions. How could you make the same mistake again this time?"

At the same time, he was puzzled and complained in his heart: "No, what else can we use so many brick furnaces for if we don't use them to build palaces?"

Qin Kui has been under a lot of pressure these days.

First, he accepted the order to build a brick furnace, and then he accepted the task of improving the loom and organizing the production of coarse cloth. The most important thing was that when he was developing the flying shuttle, he was accused of "speculating the emperor's will and committing treason."

Now the matter has finally been resolved.

He was wrong about thinking about the flying shuttle, a thing he had never seen before, but how could he be wrong about the brick furnace? He just wanted to cater to Zhu Yunhuan's wishes and make progress.

The result seems to be completely screwed again.

Could it be that his year-end bonus was going to be lost? Even if it was lost, what if this little ancestor got angry... Qin Kui's heart suddenly lifted.

At this moment, he was speechless, with a thousand horses galloping through his heart: "Damn! This little ancestor's mind is really hard to guess!"

Fortunately, the young master seemed to be in a good mood at the moment. He waved his hand and said, "Never mind. I understand your intentions. The Ministry of Works has been busy these days improving looms and organizing the weaving bureaus and workshops under its jurisdiction to produce coarse cloth. They have also allocated and handed over various matters. The casting of brick furnaces has not been put on hold. It is obvious that you, the Minister of Works, are working hard."

"This matter was done well." Zhu Yunhuan affirmed casually.

When doing anything, we should have a balance between relaxation and tension. The policy of giving a slap in the face and then a sweet date will never go out of date. If we just intimidate, suppress and punish people, the people below will lose their enthusiasm and reduce their efficiency.

He could also see that Qin Kui just wanted to make progress too much, and wanting to make progress was not a bad thing.

Hearing Zhu Yunhuan's words.

Qin Kui's face first showed a hint of surprise after a sharp fall, then he breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed. He immediately kowtowed and thanked the emperor loudly in an excited voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not punishing me!"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and the king and father. I will do my best to carry out your Majesty's will!" His face flushed slightly, and he looked at Zhu Yunhuan with gratitude and awe.
