Chapter 48

"As long as it's oil."

This is the last word Xiao Ming said before he sent Wang Shijie away.

At present, he doesn't want to waste too much time on the four families. The reason why he shares benefits with the four families is to give the four families the illusion that we are still friends.

For him, he could not tolerate the existence of his fiefdoms and aristocrats, because it would seriously threaten his rule.

At present, the disadvantages of the aristocratic families in the state of Dayu are just around the corner, and he will not repeat the same mistakes.

Seeing Wang Shijie off, Xiao Ming sent Qian Dafu to call Pang Yukun over. Now with the export of technology, more and more goods will be produced in the equipment department and the palace.

drunken Qingzhou and perfume, he arranged in the palace, only the Wangfu family members participate, in order to keep secret.

He didn't believe that other people would be so honest and wouldn't send people to spy on the technology in the instrument department and the palace. So, he asked Pang Yukun to officially establish the patent department.

Chen Wenlong will be responsible for all the processes of the Department of apparatus and equipment. Any individual, businessman or official who plagiarizes the patent will be sentenced to felony or death.

Those who use the patent need to pay the patent fee.

Of course, at present, Xiao Ming has no intention of selling patents, but patent laws and regulations need to be established in advance.

At the same time, he also discussed with Pang Yukun that any folk invention can be patented to promote the research atmosphere of the folk people.

In addition to the establishment of the patent department, the mineral department was established at the same time. This is the prelude to Xiao Ming's plan to build a government run mine. As long as he has mastered the mineral resources, the industry will be in his hands.

Pang Yukun has no objection to Xiao Ming's measures one after another. In his opinion, as long as the king of Qi is willing to do the right thing, it is impeccable. The rest of the implementation problem is his problem.

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

When Wang Shijie went to buy cooking oil, Xiao Ming organized the servants of the royal family to make soda ash. Although this method of cooking limestone and plant ash together is earthy, it is also the most suitable method at present.

In this busy, day by day, day by day, a person suddenly appeared in the palace, all the people in the palace were boiling.

"Your Highness, Li San is back." Xiao Ming, who is studying how to make large quantities of disposable soap, is suddenly interrupted by the surprise of lvluo.

Xiao Ming left his writing brush and said with a laugh, "I think it's time to come back. "

just as he was saying that, Li San came to him with a package on his back. When he saw Xiao Ming, Li San bowed and said," Your Highness, I'm back. "

"No gift." Xiao Ming was smiling. He was eager to know the details of Li San's visit to Chang'an, so he asked, "how about talking about it?"

Li San gave the parcel to the green Luo, and he said, "the empress girl sent the glass to me and said that the Royal perfume is very popular with the empress girl. The imperial concubine love it very much. This drunk Qingzhou is said to be drunk by the Queen's empress, and she can not bear to abandon the cup. The emperor also praised the wine that his highness brewed. "

lvluo flushed with excitement," I said the ladies would like it. "

Xiao Ming nodded. It's abnormal that they don't like these magical things. He asked, "is there nothing else?"

Li Sanhui said with a smile: "the emperor Longyan Dayue personally told the Minister Cui Zhang to allocate 200000 taels of silver to his highness. He said that if his highness could be diligent in government affairs in the future, he would give the 1 million taels of silver to his highness in batches. "

" stingy. " Xiao Ming was speechless. The one million taels of silver were allocated by the imperial court when every prince was a vassal.

The purpose is basically the same as that of the modern rich businessmen giving the rich second generation venture capital.

Over a hundred years after the founding of the state of Dayu, although there were constant wars in the north, the people in the South were still very comfortable, and the commerce and handicraft industry were also very developed. In Xiao Ming's opinion, the tax level of Dayu was basically comparable to that of the Song Dynasty in the prosperous period.

So the court is still rich, and Xiao Wenxuan is stingy, which he can't help but despise.

At this time, Qian Dafu was also startled and came over. Wen Yan said with a smile, "Your Highness, there are more than 200000 taels. You can always ease your urgent need. It's better to give these silver taels to the minerals department. It needs silver to prepare for the construction of the mine. "

Xiao Ming had a headache and said," before you take office as a new official, you know you need money. You can't give all 200000 Liang, only half. "

" thank you, your highness. " Qian Dafu laughs that 100000 Liang is better than none. After the establishment of the mineral department, he has a heavy responsibility, because not only coal mines, iron ores, limestone mines and graphite mines need to be mined, but also other mines designated by Xiao Ming.

The 100000 taels of silver is estimated to be snow into the water, even a sound can not be heard.

Li San saluted Qian Dafu and said, "Your Highness, in addition to the silver given by the emperor, this time the princess asked the slave to bring his highness 200000 taels of silver."

"How can my mother get so much silver?" Xiao Ming was surprised.

Li San said, "nature is the credit of your royal highness perfume, which is the deposit that the empress gave to your highness, and the reasons are all in the letter. "With that, Li San gave a letter to Xiao Ming.

took a look at the letter, and Xiao Ming frowned at once. The silver was custom made by various imperial concubines, but this is not the point.

The key point is that Princess Zhenfei mentioned queen Zhao and the prince in her letter. If she mentioned queen Zhao, it's understandable, but it's a big problem to mention the prince.

Although the letter only mentioned a few words, Xiao Ming also understood that the purpose of empress Zhao's helping herself this time was not simple.

"What's the matter, your highness?" Seeing that Xiao Ming was not looking right, Qian Dafu asked.

"Please, this is misunderstood. With the fourth prince, our king has been assassinated. This time, empress Zhao intends to draw our king to be a support for the prince. Didn't our king offend all the princes who want to abolish the prince?" Xiao Ming handed the letter to Qian Dafu.

After scanning his eyes, Qian Da Fu frowned. "It's true. The letter says that empress Zhao and the prince sympathize with his Highness's hardships in Qingzhou and will take out 100000 taels of silver to Qingzhou with the emperor's silver. This outsider will understand it at a glance."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Ming said lazily, "since all the money has been sent, we don't want it for nothing. Now the most important thing is the development of the fiefdom. If we can find the right and the left among the princes, it's the best."

”His highness said that even if there is no prince, his highness is also trapped by the fourth prince. Instead of letting the fourth Prince take advantage of it, it's better to stand on the side of the prince for the time being. After all, now the prince is orthodox. "

Xiao Ming thinks the same way. As long as Xiao Wenxuan is still there, the crown prince will be almost impossible to be abolished. If we take advantage of this time to develop vigorously, when the crown prince is abolished, his fiefdom will be stronger. If the crown prince is not abolished, he will be happy to be a carefree king. How can other princes be afraid at that time.
