All water conservancy issues, construction issues, and palace issues in various places in Chang'an were basically reviewed and nodded by him.
Without his nod, the file would not be passed and the money would not be allocated.
"Has the Sanqing Temple in the west of the city begun to collapse due to the heavy wind and rain yesterday?"
Looking at this file, Lin Youwei frowned.
This is a big deal.
If it is not handled properly, even His Majesty may be held accountable.
"My lord, my lord!"
Just at this moment, an inappropriate voice sounded outside the door.
Soon, a government servant walked in.
"Why are you so flustered?" Lin Youwei's frown deepened.
The yamen servant replied: "Sir, there is a young man outside our yamen who is ready to see you."
"see me?"
Lin Youwei made a serious face, "Every day, there are so many people who want to see me. Should I go see them all? Ah!"
Lin Youwei's questioning tone came to his face.
The yamen officer immediately took a step back, tensed his mind, and quickly stepped forward to hand over a letter, "Sir, the young man said that you will understand after seeing this letter."
letter?
Lin Youwei glanced at it and couldn't look away.
【Luban Lock】!
He took it with one hand and asked: "Have you tested it? Does this young man know how to lock Lu Ban?"
The yamen officer nodded, "Xia Guan tried it out. In front of Xia Guan, he used 6 pieces of wood at an extremely fast speed to build a solid space that we couldn't understand."
"This is almost the same as the rumored Lu Ban Suo!"
The voice fell.
Lin Youwei was extremely shocked!
He changed his previous attitude, without even opening the letter, and said quickly: "Quick! Go and invite the master in! Don't neglect it!"
"yes."
After the government servant left, he carefully opened the letter.
[Brief version, four Luban locks spliced together.]
Take out 4 wooden strips and stand them opposite each other. Take out 2 wooden strips and place them face up on the bottom gap of the 4 wooden strips.
Place two wooden strips on the left and right sides respectively, put the beads in, buckle the two wooden strips onto one wooden strip, insert them at the top, and hold up the lock with your right hand.
Pull down the wooden bar on the lower left to reveal a gap. Place the last wooden bar, the one with the gap, on top and adjust the position.
Push back the two protruding wooden bars one by one, and the Luban lock is assembled.
Lin Youwei became more and more frightened when he saw it. He did not experiment because there was no real object yet.
But how can someone who can reach the position of Minister of Industry be an ordinary person?
He had studied Lu Bansuo before, but he still couldn't figure it out.
but now,
He deduced it slightly in his mind, and couldn't help but feel that this letter was like an enlightenment, instantly opening the four meridians and eight meridians.
All the contents of Lu Ban Suo that were half-understood at first became clear at once!
"This...master, the real master."
Lin Youwei was a little horrified.
He looked down again and saw the extension of the letter to the Luban Lock.
Big and small Kongming locks, Four Seasons locks, Kongming chain locks, Twelve-square locks, Square locks...
There are many!
This also means that the person who wrote this letter knows Luban Suo better than anyone else.
"My God, what a great talent, what a great talent."
"If the Sanqing Temple was built using the Luban lock theory, how could it be afraid of mere wind and rain?"
Lin Youwei stood up immediately and put away the letter as if he had found a treasure.
As someone who knew Lu Ban Suo so well, he felt that this young man might be a descendant of Lu Ban, or perhaps a member of Lu Ban's disciples.
Lin Youwei felt that it would be inappropriate if he did not meet such a person in person.
Therefore, after putting away the letter, he walked non-stop towards the lobby of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
…………
The lobby of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
Qin Wenyuan and Chang Le were welcomed in by the Ministry of Industry as if they were distinguished guests.
Facing such a great gift, both of them were unfazed.
Because Qin Wenyuan is a modern person, he is able to remain calm despite changes.
But his wife's calm behavior made him a little confused.
Perhaps my wife’s previous status was higher than I thought?
Qin Wenyuan chuckled and became more and more curious about his wife's identity.
But without Chang Le's direct confession, he could only suppress this curiosity deep in his heart.
"Grandmaster?"
Not long after they sat down, and before they even had a chance to take a sip of tea, they heard a frightened voice.
This person is clearly Lin Youwei, who is nearly fifty years old.
"Master Lin."
Qin Wenyuan stood up and responded.
"Master, you're welcome." Lin Youwei still looked like that.
Qin Wenyuan smiled helplessly, why is it so weird to be called master by someone with an elder status?
He didn't think for too long and said directly: "Mr. Lin, my name is Qin Wenyuan. I'm here this time. Actually..."
"Actually, it's to sell the knowledge I have about Luban locks."
"The reason why Mr. Lin calls me master is that he must have understood the content of the letter and the skills that Luban Suo represents."
"For sale? For sale?" Lin Youwei was slightly stunned.
Qin Wenyuan nodded, "That's right, so when I come here this time, I am not actually a master who discusses Luban Suo. I am just a small businessman who comes here for profit."
"I also hope that Mr. Lin will not elevate me and call me master. I, Qin Wenyuan, deserve it."
The voice fell.
There was a little silence in the lobby.
Neither of them spoke, and Chang Le next to him also felt his heart tightening.
She has only lived in the palace since she was a child, so when she meets Lin Youwei, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, she is not afraid that the other party will recognize her.
Because the two of them have never met.
This nervousness was mainly due to the fear that Lin Youwei would fall out and scold her husband.
After all, the meaning represented by Lu Bansuo is extraordinary, but Qin Wenyuan only talks about money, which is really vulgar.
Being scolded, Changle felt that he deserved it.
And when Qin Wenyuan was scolded, she felt uncomfortable!
After a while, Lin Youwei sighed, "In that case, let me get to the point."
When it came to the issue of money, he looked a little more serious. Now that the Tang Dynasty was flourishing, no money could be wasted.
"Did you write that letter yourself?"
Lin Youwei said lightly, his voice coming with momentum, and the momentum of a high-ranking person was undoubtedly revealed!
"That's right." Qin Wenyuan said, neither humble nor arrogant.
This honor and disgrace made Lin Youwei take a high look and said, "Do you think you can also speculate on the Four Seasons Lock and the Kongming Chain Lock?"
Qin Wenyuan did not answer, but nodded.
Lin Youwei squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "This matter is important, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make a decisive decision. Mr. Qin, I don't know..."
"I can wait." Qin Wenyuan smiled lightly, not caring at all.
His indifferent look made Lin Youwei secretly frightened.
He always felt that all his thoughts were seen through those eyes.
