Wang Buxian has been very busy recently!

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he has too many things that he cannot completely let go of for the time being.

Almost every major event ultimately requires him to take the helm personally.

Perhaps only when his prophetic attributes are gone, or when he feels that the people under him have been successfully trained, will he slowly start to let go.

Tian Dan's working ability is very good, and what's more valuable is that Tian Dan is very self-aware.

He knew how to make the emperor feel more at ease.

"Your Majesty, the construction minister of Guanwai Fengsui will not participate. After all, I am now the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce. If I continue to participate in these projects, it will damage the dignity of the imperial court!" Tian Dan declared directly at the beginning of the meeting.

As soon as the farm implement business started, he transferred it to the court without reservation.

If this business is at the level of the imperial court, it cannot be said to be a huge profit, but it is still a considerable amount of income.

Today is when Tian Dan reported the work plan of the Ministry of Commerce. No one expected that Tian Dan would throw away his most profitable project from the very beginning.

And the reason is still so strange that it is impossible to refuse.

"Who dares to say anything about what I have given you?" Wang Buxu glanced at Tian Dan and said.

"I can't thank you enough for your majesty's trust in me. However, I am the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce. If I participate in some national projects, even if your majesty and ministers know the situation, there are some people among the people who don't know about it. In their eyes, this matter

Come, isn't it to compete with the people for profit?" Tian Dan continued to explain.

"You are fighting for profits with the people. Your field is the strongest. How much time can the court save by leaving it to you?" Wang Buxu scolded angrily.

Although Tian Dan was very discerning, he had to admit it on this matter.

The scale of Tiandan's business is very large, and Tiandan's family is very rich.

These two reasons alone are enough.

A large scale means that it can undertake a large quantity, and a strong family background means that it can afford the advance payment, which alleviates the financial pressure on the court.

Besides, does he not give food to his workers in his fields? Or doesn’t he let them drink? Or he doesn’t even pay them wages?

The salary offered by Tian Dan is not high, but it is neither above nor below that level.

Who should the common people follow?

Where does it come from to compete with the people for profit?

Who are these so-called people?

This was what the Confucian group was best at playing during the Ming Dynasty. They always labeled the emperor as competing for the interests of the people, putting the emperor in a dilemma and ultimately benefiting the group themselves.

"Your Majesty, I cannot set this precedent..." Tian Dan's face was full of confusion.

Although I am thinking about myself, I am also thinking about the court.

Once this precedent is set, what will happen next?

When all the officials have learned to do business in a decent manner, what can happen to the others?

Therefore, you must not open this hole yourself first.

After all, he had been the king of Qi and had been in charge of the political affairs of a country. How could Tian Dan not be able to distinguish the importance of this?

"Your Majesty, I have an idea..." Tian Dan thought for a while, this matter could be regarded as his own fault, so just leaving it alone is not an option.

"Oh?" Wang Buxu looked at Tian Dan.

"I have a group of experienced craftsmen under my command. I think I can separate these craftsmen and hand them over to the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works can be directly responsible for supervising the construction of some important beacons outside the Great Wall. According to the imperial court's plan, a

An ordinary beacon takes about three hundred people and half a year to complete," Tian Dan said.

The Ministry of Industry had already designed the shape and size of the beacons, and even built them one by one outside Luoyang as a test.

It has long been determined that the construction method will still be outsourced, as the person who is most likely and has the best chance to win this super order.

Of course, Tian Dan also received the invitation to observe. Tian Dan had made a lot of preparations in advance, so he knew the situation of these smallest-scale beacons very well.

"No money..." Wang Ling suddenly stood up and said.

I asked you, Tian Dan, why you are so kind and want to give your own people to the Ministry of Works. Is it because you are worried about the little money from the Ministry of Works?

"Your Majesty, logically speaking, this matter should be done by the imperial court. After all, it is a national defense project..." Chen Ping said slowly.

"Mr. Chen, the Ministry of Works really has no money. You only saw that the Ministry of Works got the money from selling farm tools, but you didn't see where the Ministry of Works spent the money..." Wang Ling was almost crying.

Tell me, what's going on with each of these?

Can't we have a good chat and discuss things properly?

Why do everyone have to take their ideas to the Ministry of Industry?

Did our Ministry of Industry recruit you or provoke you?

How shameless are you?

ah???

"Your Majesty, the project cost needs to be calculated on the spot. This cannot be done unless the Ministry of Industry does it. Although we have tried to build a few outside Luoyang, this is Luoyang, which is different from outside the Great Wall. If the Ministry of Industry does not do it, the imperial court may not be able to do it.

I don’t know how much it will cost to build a beacon, so how about contracting it to others to build?” Tian Dan spoke again.

By the way, he also glanced at the royal tomb.

A guy without vision.

"Well! That's it!" Wang Buxu nodded in agreement.

What Tian Dan said makes sense. If the Ministry of Industry does not do it, it is like the manufacturer does not know what its costs are. May I ask, how much does it cost to sell your product without losing money?

This is a very reasonable question and a very realistic question.

Furthermore, what Tian Dan said was not really about hollowing out the Ministry of Industry.

However, some large-scale beacons need to be built by the Ministry of Works themselves.

And what is a large beacon?

To put it bluntly, it is used to station troops and grain, serve as a supply station for beacons and troops during their march, and also serve as a support base and command center for surrounding beacons.

It is said to be a large beacon, but it is actually a large military camp permanently stationed on the grassland. It is designed to accommodate 2,000 soldiers.

What is this concept?

The garrison of this beacon alone is capable of launching a small-scale war.

The layout of Feng Sui is as follows: a small fort with a radius of ten miles, a middle fort with a radius of fifty miles, and a large fort with a radius of a hundred miles.

Similarly, the construction period of this project is also very long. It does not mean that it will be completed in one, two, three, or five years. There is also corresponding planning.

Wang Buxu’s request is to complete the first phase of construction within five years.

The task of the first phase is to build beacons in places where nomads are more likely to move south. Based on the Great Wall, build a hundred miles of depth along two points to the north, then build them east and west, and finally meet in the middle.

That is to say, beacons are used to draw a rectangle on the grassland as a buffer zone, which is also used for grazing horses on the border.

"This ministry will prepare this year. We will start working on it in the spring of next year, and we will prepare for bidding after winter!" Wang Buxian thought for a while, and it was not far from the autumn harvest now, so it was obviously too late to do it now.

A large number of experienced people are participating in the expansion in Luoyang. This year happens to be the second year, and it is also the busiest year.

Therefore, the Ministry of Industry has made preparations in advance, selected good people, and can directly go to the grassland to test the cost in the spring of next year. It will come back to invite bids in the winter, and the expansion of Luoyang is basically completed.

Even if there is still some unfinished work, a large number of laborers will be released by the end of next year to participate in the construction of beacons in the north.

Wang Buxu opened his mouth and made his decision. Wang Ling did not dare to speak even if he was resentful, so he could only bite the bullet and continue.

Then I thought about whether there was any way to get some more money. This is all expenses.

Tian Dan began a formal report, which all ministers knew because Tian Dan had discussed it with them countless times.

To say it was done by Tian Dan, it would be better to say that it was done by Tian Dan as the leader, with other ministers as assistants, and everyone worked together to do it.

Wang Buxu also had some understanding of these, but he was only limited to some general directions and did not know much about the details.

Listening to Tian Dan's professional description, Wang Buxuan kept nodding his head.

Although he can only say that he has only a partial understanding of these things, he still understands some of the principles.

For example, Tiandan's current strategy is to first adapt to local conditions, concentrate on a few practical and widely used products, concentrate on developing a few areas, mobilize activity, and then seek changes after the economic situation improves.

In other respects, the Han Dynasty is now prosperous.

But in terms of industry and commerce, Dahan is almost a backwater now.

First you have to have it, and then you can seek change.

Wang Buxu did not object to the plan formulated by Tian Dan. He only warned Tian Dan to always pay attention to the situation in various places and study whether the policies were appropriate and what needed to be adjusted.

Anyway, it is to emphasize one thing. The policy cannot be set in stone once it is issued. It must be applied flexibly under the premise of being reasonable and reasonable.

However, just when everyone was looking forward to the future, there was suddenly some movement outside the hall.

Seeing the imperial guards looking towards him, Zhang Buyi's heart skipped a beat, and then he glanced at Wang Buyi.

After getting permission, he walked out of the meeting hall.

After a while, Zhang Buyi came back with an angry look on his face.

"What happened?" Seeing this, everyone knew that something big must have happened. Otherwise, with Zhang Buyi's calm attitude, how could he have such an angry look on his face?

"Your Majesty, the Huns envoy is making trouble..."

"Making trouble?" Wang Buxuan frowned slightly.

"Yes, it seems that they felt that His Majesty Luoyang did not summon them when they came, so they felt resentful. The innkeeper acted according to the rules. They felt that this was disrespectful to them, so they first beat the innkeeper and then smashed the entire inn.

The Imperial Guards patrolling nearby heard the commotion and went to stop it. Unexpectedly, they also beat the Imperial Guards as well..."

"Huh?" Wang Buxung raised his head and looked at Zhang Buyi.

This look frightened Zhang Buyi, who trembled all over, and said quickly: "There are many of them, more than 200 people. There are only ten people in the Forbidden Army, so we suffered a little loss, but they were not much better...
