The second thousand six hundred and twenty-three chapters in the book
Zeng Yi and Wan Huojing were already very familiar with each other. Wan Huojing told Zeng Yi clearly that even if Her Majesty the Queen spoke in person, this matter might not be achieved. The imperial armament was too important to the imperial court. Such a thing
, Her Majesty the Queen cannot make a decision on her own, it must be agreed by the three provinces and six ministries.
If you want to convince the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries, you must have a very suitable reason. If it is a difficult period for the court and selling those technologies can get some money, maybe the court will agree more easily. Now that the court has passed the difficult period, it is becoming more and more popular.
If you have money, even if you waste it, the imperial court does not want to open up those armament technologies and pose a threat to the imperial court!
In fact, the six ministers are all fine. After all, they are all from the same family. They have known each other for a long time. There should be no problem in moving around. Moreover, the six ministers are still relatively young and their ideas are not so conservative. For some officials, openness is not necessarily a disadvantage.
, and it can also inspire the court to come up with more powerful weapons.
In addition, armaments have always been a matter for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Household Affairs have never been involved in armament matters. For these four ministries, it is none of their own business and selling to them is nothing.
The trouble is more trouble. The chief officials of the three provinces, Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province are all highly respected veterans. The three of them have great influence in the court. Back then, they supported the little princess and the princes hid themselves. In such a fierce situation
, no one dared to touch the chief officials of the three provinces.
The most important of the three provinces' chief officials is actually Zhongshu Province, which is the central government office directly under the emperor and the central administrative department of the political power. Its chief officer, Zhongshu Ling, is also the chief prime minister, ranking first among the three senior officials. It is the first grade and governs six ministries.
, can be said to be in charge of all the affairs of the world.
However, Zhongshu Ling is now very old. As a veteran of the three dynasties of the imperial court, he has little energy to deal with government affairs. The six ministers are basically responsible for the daily government affairs of the imperial court. Several books of Zhongshu Ling are now the mascots of the imperial court.
But this veteran minister was a veteran of three dynasties and had great influence in the imperial court and even among officials in the world.
Only he can agree. Then there will be basically no obstacle to the imperial court opening up part of its armament technology.
Zeng Yi decided to go directly to Zhongshu Ling and lobby him. If he could succeed, then things would be simple.
Of course, before lobbying, Zeng Yi made a special trip back to Jinyiwei Yamen to secretly check out the information about this Zhongshu Ling.
Jin Yiwei has all the information files of officials from all over the world, but some information cannot be acknowledged even if it exists. Just like the information about Zhongshu Ling, even if Jin Yiwei is beaten to death, he will not admit it. They have sent people to investigate and even seen Zhongshu Ling.
Ling, if the people of the world find out about this, it is estimated that the officials of the world will join in the death of the Jin Yiwei.
"You want to see Zhongshu Ling's information, you are crazy!" The old man who was looking at Jinyiwei's files was usually very polite to Zeng Yi, but today he became angry when he heard that Zeng Yi secretly wanted to see Zhongshu Ling's information.
.
"Do you know the influence of Zhongshu Ling? If he is touched, the Jin Yiwei will not be able to withstand the siege of officials from all over the world!"
"Misunderstanding, I didn't say that I wanted to touch Zhongshu Ling! I checked his information, just to understand the other party's situation. There are some things that need to be discussed with Zhongshu Ling. I want to know the other party in advance!"
Hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, but you have to remember, you can't let anyone know at this time!"
"Don't worry, I know what's going on!"
There is a lot of information about Zhongshu Ling. From his birth to the present, the general life trajectory has been recorded in detail. This person was born in a famous family. He read poetry and books since he was a child. After that, he passed the scientific examination and entered the imperial court. After entering the imperial court,
I have worked hard all the way to where I am today.
Zeng Yi was not interested in his experience, and he didn't want to tamper with Zhongshu Ling, he just wanted to know about the other person's hobbies and habits!
It is recorded in the data that this person was very obsessed with calligraphy and painting, especially the paintings and calligraphy left by famous historical figures. There is a story in the record. When this person was middle-aged, he was a middle-level official in the imperial court. He once paid any price for a famous painting.
I had a conflict with my immediate boss at the time.
Because of this incident, the emperor at that time saw this person's spirit of not fearing power, so he gradually promoted him and rose through the ranks.
"I like calligraphy and painting, hehe, as long as you have a hobby!"
Zeng Yi contacted Fatty from the Silver Empire that day. Fatty heard that Zeng Yi had already begun to move about the arms business. Without saying anything, he dropped what he was doing and went straight to the capital.
"Brother Ni, is what you said true? Are there really opportunities in the arms business?"
Looking at the fat man with an excited face and the flesh on his face pulsing, Zeng Yi nodded: "There are indeed some clues about this matter, but it is very difficult!"
"You should know that even if the armaments eliminated by the imperial court, the manufacturing technologies of ballistae, catapults, sail warships, etc. are still the most advanced armaments elsewhere, it is extremely difficult for the imperial court to open up those technologies.
Things! After asking around, I found out about a person. Whether the imperial court can be open to the public or not depends largely on this person’s attitude!"
"who?"
"In those days, Zhongshu and Shengzhongshu ordered!"
"Then, how to win over this person's attitude?" The fat man from the Silver Empire was very smart. Knowing that Zeng Yi came to him, he must have already made a lobbying plan.
"I planned to visit the mountain gate in person and discuss this issue with Zhong Shuling! But I couldn't go empty-handed, so I started to contact again and inquired about it. I learned that this Zhong Shuling is very fond of calligraphy and painting, especially painting and calligraphy.
Celebrities but calligraphy and painting works!”
"painting and calligraphy!"
Zeng Yi smiled: "I am a rough old man, but I don't know the quality of calligraphy and painting. If the Silver Empire really wants to participate in the arms business, then the task of finding calligraphy and painting will be left to you!"
The fat man smiled and said, "Since I have the opportunity, of course I must seize it. Don't worry, leave this matter to me! I will definitely help you find a painting and calligraphy that satisfies you!"
The reality of this game lies in this aspect. The game integrates all the famous antiques and other things in history. The biggest advantage of these things is that they can be used to increase the favorability of NPCs at the beginning of the player. However, there are also some real-life situations.
Players who like antique calligraphy and paintings will specially collect these things. Although the price is not as exaggerated as in reality, it is still expensive in the game.
"Remember, the more famous you are, the better. It is best if it is a masterpiece that everyone knows about when you talk about it. He is the official secretary of the imperial court, and ordinary calligraphy and painting cannot be looked down upon!"
"Don't worry, our guild has a dedicated appraiser who will definitely satisfy you!"
