In Chongzhen's quite suspicious eyes, Zhu Cilang left.

The hall was quiet for a long time, then Chongzhen suddenly said, "Wang Cheng'en, how much do you think what Yan'er said is reliable?"

Wang Chengen thought very seriously for a while and said, "Sixty or seventy percent should be there."

Chongzhen was a little surprised: "You actually trust Feng'er so much?"

Chongzhen's grasp in his heart was actually less than half what Wang Chengen said.

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty may have forgotten that the Ming Dynasty was actually forced into a desperate situation for a while. It was His Highness the Crown Prince who created miracles to help the Ming Dynasty reach its present."

"Miracle?" Hearing this sentence, Chongzhen was a little lost for a moment.

After careful consideration, Chongzhen found that Wang Chengen's words were not false.

Every war is almost always a victory over the more with less, and even wars like the Battle of the Capital are even more a turnaround in desperate situations.

This is not a miracle, what is a miracle?

Chongzhen calmed down and said, "But governing the country is not a war."

Wang Chengen hesitated for a moment and said boldly: "I have different ideas in this regard."

Chongzhen raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Let's hear it."

Wang Chengen said: "I think that the Crown Prince is only sixteen years old this year and has already put his military strategy into such a pinnacle. Not to mention that the Crown Prince has been learning to govern the country over the years. Even if His Highness has completely missed all knowledge of governing the country, it is not difficult to learn again and master it in a short period of time with His Highness's talent."

Chongzhen stopped.

After a long time, Chongzhen murmured to himself: "So, Feng'er is actually a genius?"

Wang Chengen smiled and said, "Yes, it's like a genius who is replaced by a fake one, a genius cultivated by His Majesty himself."

"Genius..." Chongzhen read this sentence repeatedly, and after a long time, he suddenly started to laugh.

"So that's it. I haven't noticed a peerless genius yet? Hahaha! Well, let me see what kind of surprise this genius can give me."

Zhu Cilang left Fengtian Hall and returned to his Duan Ben Palace in a carriage.

It's just autumn now, in other words, there are about six months left before next spring.

Half a year is very long. Of course, every night of the past six months should be spent with his newlywed wife Luo Yunyao, but during the day, Zhu Cixuan thought that he could still do something for the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to say that the Crown Prince was in the morning.

So the question is, what is the easiest and direct way to promote Daming Technology?

Zhu Cilang just thought of this when the system sounded in his mind.

"After detecting the host's needs, the task is now released - the host is asked to form the Daming Science and Technology Bureau within three months and provide sufficient venues and manpower. Reward: a set of relevant textbooks for "Physics" of ordinary undergraduate universities, a detailed drawing of steam engine manufacturing, and a watt steam engine."

Zhu Cilang was immediately happy when he heard this.

"The system understands me!"

Zhu Cixuan thought for a while and said, "Old Fang, don't go back first, go to the cabinet directly!"

The cabinet is actually not far from Fengtian Hall, which is mainly to facilitate the emperor to summon these ministers to discuss matters.

The name "cabinet" sounds like some kind of pavilion inside, but it is not the case.

This is a not-so-large courtyard. The row of houses on the left is used for collective discussions of the cabinet and the cabinet masters to handle the respective affairs of the six ministries. The row of houses on the right is used for office work.

Not far from the cabinet is the office location of the famous censorship department of the Ming Dynasty, "Six Departments and Services". It is worth mentioning that the office locations on both sides are completely symmetrical, with the size and room shape exactly the same.

But there are only seventh ranks in the staff, and they are the "seed officials". The cabinet masters are all genuine and first-rank super-masters. The arrangement of office locations between the two parties is quite meaningful.

The fact is that in the Ming Dynasty, ephemerals can indeed shake the big tree, and not once or twice, but are commonplace.

Zhu Cilang's sudden arrival undoubtedly surprised the cabinet members and came out to greet him one after another.

Zhu Cilang didn't talk nonsense and said with a smile: "I'm here to find Lord Shi today."

Shi Bangyao, former deputy censor, currently the Minister of Works.

Seeing this, Fan Jingwen smiled and said, "Your Highness is a rare opportunity to come to our cabinet once. I will call him to find Lord Shi. Could it be that he is going to do some world-famous project?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Mr. Fan is underestimating the ambition of our palace. This project we have made is to promote the progress of all mankind's society."

Fan Jingwen was appointed as Zhu Cilang's teacher last year and taught Zhu Cilang every ten days. With this friendship between teachers and students, the atmosphere of speaking is naturally more casual.

After hearing Zhu Cilang's words, everyone burst into laughter. No one took it seriously and joked that they hoped to see His Royal Highness the amazing project as soon as possible.

Soon everyone dispersed, and Shi Bangyao took Zhu Cilang into one of the rooms.

There are three seats in the room, which look like they belong to the Minister of Works and the Minister of the Right and Right.

Shi Bangyao asked Zhu Cixuan to sit down and asked curiously: "I wonder what your highness is doing with me?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Didn't you tell Lord Shi just now? This time I plan to create a magical thing that can change the world. I need to ask Lord Shi for a group of the best craftsmen. By the way, not only do you need the most experienced ones, but you also need the most active ones, but you also don't want carpenters and bricklayers, and it's best to be blacksmiths."

This is not actually the steam engine itself is indeed related to the blacksmith.

Shi Bangyao was stunned for a few seconds and said, "Your Highness is not kidding?"

Zhu Ciyang said seriously: "I am the dignified Prince of the Ming Dynasty. How could I joke about such a key event that changes the process of human society?"

Shi Bangyao: “…”

It is not difficult to see from Shi Bangyao's expression that he still thinks Zhu Cilang is joking with him.

Shi Bangyao thought for a while and said, "I wonder how many people your highness needs?"

This question stopped Zhu Cixuan. After thinking for a while, Zhu Cixuan said: "As the saying goes, there are many people and great power, so you need one hundred first. By the way, you should get twenty officials and be very familiar with the knowledge of craftsmen."

When Shi Bangyao heard this, his heart suddenly felt relieved.

Nowadays, the north of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be in a mess. It is a time when reconstruction is urgently needed. Craftsmen are indispensable in reconstruction. If Zhu Cilang suddenly needs hundreds or thousands of craftsmen, it will definitely affect the reconstruction progress in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

But now there are only one hundred people, so the problem is not big.

Shi Bangyao said: "Please rest assured that one hundred craftsmen will definitely report to the Prince's Mansion within three days!"

Zhu Cilang left with satisfaction.

As soon as Zhu Cixuan left, before Shi Bangyao stood up, a group of cabinet members rushed in.

Shi Bangyao was stunned: "Sir, are you?"

Fan Jingwen smiled and said seriously: "Mr. Shi, tell me about your Highness’s affairs with you just now!"

Shi Bangyao: “…”
