Chapter 638: Twists and Turns

Palace.

"What has Wonsun been doing lately." Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Yuan Servant handed over the affairs of the Economic Development Department to Yu Jingming for management, and also opened a food workshop in Lantian County, mainly processing instant noodles, French fries and other foods." Horses and returns.

"Instant noodles?" Li Shimin was curious.

"Your Majesty, this thing is instant noodles, divided into two kinds, one is instant noodles and the other is called crispy noodles, instant noodles can be eaten dry or cooked, crisp noodles are mainly used for chewing, to say that the strangeness is that although the two seem to be the same, the taste is not the same." Ma He explained.

"Oh, that's it?" Li Shimin said.

Ma He was holding a dough wrapped in satin, Li Shimin broke a corner, and found that the dough immediately shattered into small pieces and felt hard.

"Is this instant noodle so hard to really eat?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Your Majesty, you can really eat it, now this instant noodle is selling like crazy." Horses and roads.

"Quack!" Li Shimin took a bite, chewed, and then took another bite.

"Well, it tastes pretty good." Li Shimin said.

However, Li Shimin obviously knows a lot of things, so he tried it and said: "The form of this face is quite similar to a face." ”

Ma and a little eunuch heard that they didn't know what the emperor would say, so they listened to Li Shimin continue: "Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin of the Han Dynasty, solved the food problem of 100,000 troops with noodles in Heyang, and this instant noodles are much more refined than noodles. ”

Li Shimin took a bite of noodles and thought about more things, with instant noodles, if this kind of food was provided to the soldiers, it could solve the problem of marching food, but this kind of noodles could not be used for a long time.

But after thinking about it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and I decided to customize it to see if it is suitable for cooperation as a dry food for the march.

Li Shimin was thinking about things on the side, Ma He on the side was about to drool when he saw the crisp noodles on the table, he took out these two pieces of noodles to prepare for his own food, and he didn't expect His Majesty to ask about Yuan Shan.

"Yuan Shan opened a food workshop, do you not plan to take care of the affairs of the Economic Development Department in the future, or do you want to worry about me?" Li Shimin muttered.

After a while, Ma He brought the newly presented excerpt to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, this is today's excerpt. ”

Li Shimin casually took a copy and looked at it and said, "The young government supervisor is pacing, it is the first time I have received a fold from the young government supervisor." ”

Curious, Yuan Shan opened it and looked at it: "He Zhengjian wants to withdraw three thousand yuan to purchase tools, Ma and you go and ask what's going on." ”

Ma He should go to do it immediately, and the excerpt is clearly written to purchase tools, and it is no problem for the young government supervisor to purchase tools, but it is a bit nonsense to spend 3,000 yuan.

Ignore this matter.,Continue to look at other excerpts and find that there are more excerpts today than usual.,Without looking at the content, I first looked at where they came from.,It's all submitted by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households.,There's also the account excerpt of Taifu Temple.。

History fans are not a lazy emperor, after reading it, they probably look at it from the beginning, the Ministry of Industry has the most excerpts, and all of them are asking for money, materials, and people.

Looking at the excerpts of the household department, the main thing is to allocate money, grain, carriage materials, issue conscription orders, and the most important thing is to allocate a large amount of silver money.

The rest is also the Taifu Temple, the royal family's "treasury and cashier", this year's harvest is very good, and the money and grain of the Tang Dynasty have also increased a lot.

It's just that compared to the good thing of the royal family's warehouse being full, the news of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry is not very good, because after the railway project was taken over by the Ministry of Industry, various problems came out, the biggest problem is the cost input, railroad tracks, cement piers need to be purchased, a large amount of material input does not require a lot of money, and if you want money, you must find the Ministry of Households, so Yan Lide wrote an excerpt, because the Ministry of Households did not allocate all the needs according to the previous plan, and only a small part was allocated.

This made Yan Lide directly blind, the progress of the railway project is directly linked to the input of materials, and there is no money to purchase rails, and there is no way to repair the railway.

It's not that the household department doesn't want to give money, but the amount of application is more than 100,000 yuan every time, which makes it good for the household department to take out so much money at one time, so it can only write a fold for the emperor to approve.

However, there is no material supply for the railway project without money, and it is impossible to press the payment in the iron smelting plant, all of which are shipped on the spot, and there is no backlog of payment.

The courtiers were anxious, Li Shimin was even more head-to-head, the first capital investment after taking over the railway project actually needed 150,000 yuan, although the money was not much, but each construction period needed so much money, the longer the construction time, the more money was spent, after looking at the advance payment for the next two months, Li Shimin felt that it was a mistake to take over the railway now.

However, it is obviously impossible to push it to the Ministry of Economic Development.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and approved the next month's project payment, the expenditure of money is a problem, and the other problem is the problem of labor, because the wages of the people hired by the Ministry of Economic Development are very high, and the imperial court will not buy this part of the cost, so the Ministry of Industry began to recruit and transfer conscripts to work for free, but with the requisition order issued by the Ministry of Industry, it can not meet the needs of the number of workers, so it can only ask the Ministry of Household to recruit more conscripts to work.

However, with the number of 50,000 or 60,000 people, the household department could not make the decision, so it could only take the problem to Li Shimin again.

But things are not so simple, because the construction period of the railway is very long, and if there is a time limit for conscription, even if it is three consecutive years of conscription, this work cannot be completed.

Yan Liben was a sincere person, and immediately thought of the attention of recruiting Turkic prisoners, and the suggestion was very good, but he forgot that it was impossible for Li Shimin to put so many Turks in a place where there was an obvious opportunity for them to escape, and the railway was too long for the Tang Dynasty soldiers to guard along the way, and that kind of consumption was unbearable for Li Shimin.

Money, food, and supplies were all approved as long as they were needed.

Ma He immediately reported after he returned: "Your Majesty, the young eunuch He pacing not long ago helped make a batch of myopia glasses in the Yuanjia workshop, Yuan Shan promised to sell a batch of advanced tools in order to thank him, several sets of sales need a total of 3,000 yuan, according to He Zhengjian said that with this batch of tools, the production process and production speed of the young eunuch will be greatly improved." ”

"That's the case, it's a good thing to be able to improve the level of craftsmanship of the young superintendent."

Li Shimin approved it again, compared to using the money from the treasury, there is no need to worry too much about spending the money from the treasury, the young eunuch is serving the royal family, and improving the craftsmanship means that the value of the object can be enhanced.

As a department specializing in supplying various items to the imperial family, the Shaofu Eunuch was not the Qingshui Yamen, and many things were turned a blind eye, and most of the silver money eventually flowed to the emperor's treasury.

I hope readers can support more, ask for rewards, ask for collections, recommend tickets, and give a few monthly passes!
