The ministers of infrastructure knelt down and begged the scientific research boss to be enthroned

Chapter 143 Competing to send money
After coming down to court, Wei Chenrui left the palace non-stop, preparing to gather his men.

First, he went to Jingzhaoyin and asked the governor to issue a notice so that all Jinshi who were in Hou Que in the capital could see it.

The main content of the announcement is that Her Majesty is about to establish a new department [Technology Development Bureau], which is mainly to study various artifacts that benefit the country and the people.

Most Jinshi want to go into politics. There are not too many people who concentrate on research, and there are certainly not too many people who will come to participate in the assessment. The Chu house was used as a venue for the assessment.

Not many people will come in a while, so Wei Chenrui took Kai and Xueji to the suburbs to find a suitable site for the construction of the research institute.

To do research, you must be in a quiet environment. The urban area is not suitable, so you can only choose the suburbs.

There are a lot of materials needed for research, sufficient water sources, a location where there will be no disasters, well-developed transportation, and not too far from the city.

There were many demands, so the location was naturally not easy to find. Wei Chenrui led people to search for a whole month before finding a suitable venue.

To find a good site, the Ministry of Households needs to provide money, and the Ministry of Industry to provide design drawings and construction. It just so happens that the people in charge of these two departments have been offended by Wei Chenrui. Find all kinds of reasons to procrastinate.

Seeing that the scheduled assessment time was approaching, and the research site hadn't been settled yet, Wei Chenrui was very angry.

With a sudden heart attack, he started to make a fuss in the early morning.

"Since the Ministry of Households is not willing to allocate funds, and the Ministry of Industry is not willing to cooperate with the design drawings, then this [Technology Development Bureau] will not bother you adults. The hall will fully fund the establishment of this research institute. From then on, the research institute It belongs to the individual in this hall, not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court!"

After finishing speaking, with a cold face, he bowed to Emperor Zhaohe and left, ignoring the ministers with different expressions behind him.

His wife is rich and capable, so she really doesn't need the help of the court, and she can make her own decisions. Between the courtiers and his daughter, Emperor Zhaohe is naturally on his daughter's side. He also hopes that this important research institute can be in control. In the hands of the future monarch, not the ministers.

However, this does not mean that Emperor Zhaohe would allow his courtiers to bully her. After Wei Chenrui left, he announced his withdrawal from the court with a cold face, suppressing all the courtiers' opinions.

Not long after Wei Chenrui arrived at the courtyard, an official asked to see him.

The first person to come was not Wei Chenrui's grandfather, but an unknown petty official from the Ministry of Industry. Wei Chenrui couldn't even get his name.

The man didn't let Wei Chenrui guess, and knelt down and explained: "Your Highness, the official letter is a small doctor from the Ministry of Industry. I have some research on farm tools. I wanted to wait for His Highness's [Technology Development Bureau] 】After it was established, it was transferred to your subordinates, and now because of Shangguan’s embarrassment, you want to separate the [Technology Development Bureau] from the imperial court, and the plan of the lower officials will be in vain.”

"I came here this time because I recommended myself, and I hope to join it."

Unexpectedly, there would be an official recommending himself. Wei Chenrui asked suspiciously: "Although the doctor's official position is not obvious, he is still an official. Are you willing to surrender your status and devote yourself to research?"

Wen Shuxin sighed and said: "Xiaguan, a doctor, is good-looking and low in salary. If he wants not to be embarrassed by the superior, he must be filial from time to time. His family background is not rich, so it will be even thinner. If we continue to Go on, I'm afraid that the days will soon be difficult."

"A majestic man, he can't support his family, and even makes his family suffer with him. I am ashamed to be an official!"

"The family is almost gone, so what's the point of clinging to the official body?"

What he said was not watery at all, it was all from Wen Shuxin's heartfelt words, and at the end of the speech, tears were about to come out, obviously it was really uncomfortable.

For such a person, Wei Chenrui still admired him very much: "I have been to the Ministry of Industry quite a few times, and I don't have much impression of you. I don't know much about your ability. You still need some assessment."

If Wei Chenrui agreed straight away, he would still be worried about the letter. This way, he would accept the letter after the assessment, and the letter would be much more at ease. In this way, everyone will enter on their own, and the chance of going through the back door will be very small, so there is no need to curry favor with filial piety. some type of.

So he readily agreed: "It's natural. I don't know when the assessment will be scheduled? How long will it be?"

Since it is an assessment of personal ability, then he cannot be allowed to go back to production, but he has just come down to court, and it is a bit unreasonable not to go to the duty, Wei Chenrui thought about it and said: "Well, I won't waste your time, out of fairness According to the principle, I will not disclose the content of the assessment to you, and the time of the assessment, just follow the notice."

"In this case, you can change the time of rest and take the exam with someone, and come to take the exam. If you fail, the official status will still be there."

Everywhere in the words, Wen Shuxin was considered, and Wen Shuxin couldn't help but burst into tears: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness, I will definitely not disappoint His Highness's intentions."

The papers and letters are here to apply for the job, and the other officials all want to get a share of the action. I'm afraid Wei Chenrui doesn't have enough money, so they bring a lot of money and want to invest; those who have land want to sell the land. With various land deeds, let Wei Chenrui choose.

They are well aware of Wei Chenrui's temperament, and have never thought of meddling in the [Technology Development Bureau]'s affairs. They just want to research something, just like making an electric fan, making some unimportant parts and then selling them.

Wei Chenrui would not refuse this kind of cooperation. After all, there are too many people, and there are too many things to research. It is simply not feasible to mass-produce it by yourself. It is too wasteful, and it is inevitable to contract it out.

However, Wei Chenrui would not decide who to cooperate with so early on. She needs to investigate carefully to ensure that these people do not have the intention of collaborating with the enemy and treason, otherwise the things that her own people have worked so hard to research will enter the pockets of the empire instead. Not good.

After sending everyone away, Wei Chenrui was about to call over some anecdotes and calculate how much money he had, when Marquis Yong An came to the door with several boxes.

Marquis Yong'an still knew the truth of not revealing his wealth, so he didn't open the box in public, but was directly carried into the warehouse, and he dragged Wei Chenrui into the room, and whispered.

"Chen Rui, your grandma knew that you were going to build a [Technology Development Bureau] by yourself. She was afraid that you would not have enough money, so she asked me to bring a few boxes of cash and silver and a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry."

As he said that, he took out another dozen banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into Wei Chenrui's hands: "You also take these banknotes, then we can't help you with research, so we can only support you with money."
