Chapter 50 Nine Books
October 3017, 10 AD, the last day of October, was the day for the final verification of He Zheng's first manufactured lithography machine.

And with the passage of time, the fact that someone rubbed out a lithography machine with bare hands also spread in a small area among the high-level officials.

So on the morning of October 10st, this small resort ushered in the first big person, that is, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry and the former servant of the Ministry of Industry.Compared with the Ministry of Industry in the Ming Dynasty, the scope of power of the Ministry of Industry in Qianguo has been greatly improved, and the specific affairs in charge of it are also much more, so the entire announcement has four ministers in charge of four specific areas. .

Among them, the right servant is in charge of the entire scientific and technological affairs, so it is normal for the direct supervisor of the Ministry of Industry, the right servant, to appear here.

But the former minister of the Ministry of Industry also appeared, which is a bit surprising, because the former minister of the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the business of national infrastructure and industrial construction and enterprise development, and it seems that it has little to do with the lithography machine this time.

But the former minister of the Ministry of Industry also has a good reason, that is, He Zheng represents not only himself, but also the serious company he created, and many of the business scopes of the serious company are within his jurisdiction Well, it's only natural for me to appear here, because the serious company is managed by myself.

So these two big bosses entered the stage of smiling but not smiling at the same time. After all, everyone in the Ministry of Industry knew that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was about to reach his age, and the chance of further becoming the chief assistant of the cabinet was basically zero. After a few years, he will definitely retire, and the next minister of the Ministry of Industry will most likely choose one of these two ministers.

So these two have entered into a crazy mode of fighting for credit. They must grab any credit from themselves, and the lithography machine will naturally become the biggest credit right now. If anyone can grab the credit for the successful development of the lithography machine In their own hands, they will have more chips to go further.

So as soon as these two met, they began to use all kinds of confrontation, which made the atmosphere in the entire observation room very stiff.

Fortunately, this state did not last too long, because as one of the cabinet members, He Wenyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also came.

No matter how violent the two ministers are, they must be obedient in front of He Wenyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. After all, according to tradition, when the Minister of the Nine Departments abdicates, he has the right to recommend the next successor to the cabinet.

Although this recommendation may not be effective, it is better than nothing. These two are still kind and good colleagues in front of He Wenyuan.

But He Wenyuan's expression was very ugly, because only 5 minutes later, another person walked in with steady steps, without looking at the others, and only greeted He Wenyuan.

"Chen Shangshu is so elegant, he actually ran to a small project of our Ministry of Industry!" He Wenyuan said with a bit of yin and yang.It can be heard from the address that this is also a minister, on the same level as He Wenyuan.

That's right, this newcomer is Chen Yun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce.

After the Ming Dynasty was overthrown, considering that the original six ministries could not properly manage more and more specific things, in addition to the traditional Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Households, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Commerce was added. Ministry, Ministry of Fortune, and Ministry of Medicine.

As can be seen from the name, the three newly established departments are responsible for business, social welfare and medical care, which are closely related to people's lives.

As for why this Shangshu Shangshu came here, the reason is also very aboveboard. A serious company is an enterprise. Isn't it normal for the Shangshu Shangshu to come to see the enterprise under his jurisdiction?

How about it, is there a feeling of deja vu?

Anyway, the appearance of Shangshu Shangshu was reasonable, but a few minutes later, the appearance of Military Minister Shangshu made the atmosphere a little confusing.

What are you, a Minister of the Ministry of War, doing here?
But the minister of the Ministry of War is also plausible. He said that he didn't come to see any lithography machine, but to see the exoskeleton armor launched by a serious company. He just happened to come here on the day when the lithography machine was verified.

As a result, in this small observation room, three nine ministers poured in at once. If this news spreads to the local official circles, I am afraid that all local officials will come to pay a visit.

After all, these are the three Nine Ministers. They are all elders who are fixed to enter the cabinet. According to the system of the Qian Kingdom, there are 17 elders in the cabinet, representing 17 first-rank officials sitting in different positions. These 17 people It is the highest decision-making body of the whole country.

Now three of the 17 are sitting here, that's a big deal.So much so that Zhou Zezhi, who was in charge of the on-site command, couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. This job is really heavy!

As a result, when the experiment was about to officially start, the fourth person walked in again.

And the appearance of this person even caused a change in the atmosphere of the scene, because this person is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Theoretically speaking, the nine ministers should be ranked in no particular order, but there is actually a chain of contempt within the nine ministers.Among them, the old six departments looked down on the new three departments, thinking that these three departments were cut out from the departments under their original jurisdiction, and they were their younger brothers.

So these three divisions are called the lower three divisions.

Among the old six departments, the Ministry of Rites, which used to have the highest status, has now become the lowest-status department because it has the least real power.

Followed by the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry, these three departments are also known as the third department.

Now that there are the lower and the middle, there will naturally be the upper three, that is, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War.

After all, these three departments hold the greatest real power, and among the upper three departments, the Ministry of Officials is the most prestigious. After all, since the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, the Ministry of Officials has been called the Heavenly Official. It is an official whose authority is second only to the chief assistant of the cabinet, and is in charge of the promotion of officials across the country.

Now the sudden appearance of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials naturally shocked everyone on the scene, but after the shock, it was inexplicable.

The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of War are all related to this matter. Why did you, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, come here?What does this have to do with the Ministry of Officials?
However, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials obviously didn't explain why he was interested. Even if he was sitting in his seat, others didn't dare to ask more questions. The other ministers were too lazy to ask more questions.

"Let's start now!" Zhou Ze saw that the time was almost up, and quickly ordered the staff in the workshop to start a trial run, so he had waited for a long time, memorized the entire operation process, and was already proficient in the old lithography machine. Thousands of staff members began to try to operate this new lithography machine.

The several ministers at the scene stood up at the same time, and while looking out through the glass of the observation room, they mainly looked at several screens that were being broadcast live. There were professional photographers with cameras, and they were shooting the entire lithography machine in real time. operation work.

Then everyone saw that no matter how the staff member pressed the button, the lithography machine just didn't move.

"Sure enough, this is a liar! No one can build a lithography machine by himself. This is a ridiculous scam. It is a waste of everyone to regard this as a treasure." Shangshu Shangshu said coldly.

"This is also a normal situation, there is nothing to look forward to" probably because these bigwigs didn't have much hope at first, and they didn't believe that someone could build a light source in less than a month. The engraving machine came out, so the atmosphere at the scene was relatively relaxed, and none of the bosses showed an overly unhappy expression on their faces. After all, this result was all within their guesses.

They came here in person, just wanting to witness a miracle, but it is precisely because miracles are difficult to appear that they can be called miracles.

But at this moment, He Zheng suddenly walked to the side of his lithography machine, and communicated a few words with the flustered staff member.

"What does he want to do?" Shang Shu of the Ministry of Commerce frowned and asked, and under the watchful eyes of all the bosses, He Zheng raised his foot and kicked directly at a certain part of the lithography machine.

"Papa papa!" All the bosses were stunned, and the lights of the lithography machine were instantly lit up, and it entered the running state.
