The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Shang Jin was very excited. It turned out that he wanted to replace the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, not himself! His Majesty has indeed mentioned this matter before, he did not expect to act so vigorously, and he must act now.

With a sigh of relief, Shang Jin fell into deep thought.

Who is qualified for the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry? It can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to it, which means that His Majesty has important plans to plan, and it is related to the Ministry of Industry. Now is not the time to recommend his own people, and none of his own people can lead the Ministry of Industry well.

As we all know, among the six ministries, the Ministry of Industry is the one that pays the most attention to knowledge and ability. Take a look at the responsibilities of the Ministry of Industry: in charge of the system of civil engineering construction, the method of utilizing utensils, the method of dredging ditches and weirs, and the code of supplying billions of mausoleums.

Popularly speaking, it refers to the national civil engineering, water conservancy engineering, and machine manufacturing engineering, including government-run industrial workshops such as military weapons and military implements, mining, metallurgy, and textiles, and is in charge of a part of financial currency and unified weights and measures. As long as it is an act of work, it can basically drag the labor department into the water. Although there is oil and water, the pressure and responsibility are also great.

There is no suitable candidate in the capital, and there is no suitable candidate in the local state capital!

Shang Jin frowned after thinking about it. No wonder His Majesty and the Crown Prince couldn't think of a suitable candidate, and even he, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

If you don't consider the official position, Shang Jin can think of a person who has resigned from office. With his ability...

Suddenly, Shang Jin's eyes lit up, and he had an idea.

I just heard him say: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have just sorted out all the officials above the fourth rank in Daxia in my mind. Many officials can be in charge of the Ministry of Industry, but their abilities are similar to those of Du Shangshu now. They can make decisions, but they are not proficient in them." This business. The two servants of the Ministry of Industry are in charge of specific affairs and are proficient in the government affairs of the Ministry of Industry, but they have a poorer view of the overall situation and overall planning. Therefore, among the officials with official status, there are indeed no more suitable talents. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to use the already An old minister who has become an official?"

Emperor Xia immediately sat up straight, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Shang Jin said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Mr. Du's last minister of the Ministry of Industry was Xu Xianyang. Xu Xianyang formed a party for private interests and was nepotism. When he was Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he was at odds with Song Yingxing, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, and he joined officials to exclude Song Yingxing. When Song Yingxing's father passed away, he had to observe mourning for three years, so he resigned and returned to his hometown."

"Song Yingxing?" Before Emperor Xia could speak, Xiao Rui had already exclaimed.

He immediately turned on the system, and sure enough, he saw that the system had completed its descent. God helped Xiao Rui this time!

"The category of this coming: character coming!"

"The character descended to belong to the camp: loyalty camp!"

"A character is randomly selected when he arrives: Song Yingxing!"

"Character introduction: Song Yingxing, courtesy name Changgeng, a famous scientist in the Ming Dynasty and an outstanding scholar in history, devoted his life to the scientific investigation and research of agricultural and handicraft production, collected a wealth of scientific materials, and his books included agriculture, handicrafts, Production technologies such as machinery, bricks, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, gunpowder, textiles, dyeing, salt making, coal mining, and oil extraction. Among them, the most outstanding work "Heavenly Creation" is known as "Chinese The Encyclopedia of Craftsmanship of the Seventeenth Century."

...

This is the summer when I was praying for rain, and the heavens came directly to a snowstorm, which made my heart feel cold and my heart soared.

Let Song Yingxing be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and you can rest assured that gunpowder can be handed over to him, the franchise of coal mines can be handed over to him, the cement can also be handed over to him, and Zhuge Liannu can also be handed over to him. The big sea boat can also be handed over to him! The promotion of corn and potatoes can also help him!

The happiest thing in life is to make your wishes come true!

But at this time, I still have to hold back the excitement in my heart and explain to His Majesty, "Father, I have indeed heard of this person's name. I heard about it when I was inspecting the state capital. I heard that this person is good at research and understands more. many."

Emperor Xia nodded without being suspicious, and said: "As soon as Mr. Shang reminded me, I also remembered this person. When Xu Xianyang was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Song Yingxing was responsible for all the big and small things in the Ministry of Industry, and he made a lot of mistakes. He has a lot of political achievements, and this person is clean and honest for the people, and has an excellent reputation. It is indeed a loss for the court to resign such a good official because of the persecution of corrupt officials. How is Song Yingxing now?"

Shang Jin replied: "My minister heard that he had finished filial piety for his father, so he traveled around Daxia to observe the environment and people's livelihood in various places, and collected information for his books. Later, he settled in Luzhou and opened an academy to teach and educate people. The knowledge he teaches is different from other academies, not Confucianism, but miscellaneous studies, such as irrigation methods, canal building, how to build mountains and rivers according to the terrain, how to mine coal, etc., and most of the students he teaches are candidates who have failed the exam."

Xia Huang said with relief: "This man is rare and precious. He has spent his whole life studying and teaching and educating people. Lord Shang, order Song Yingxing to be called into the palace, and hurry up!"

"I will make arrangements now." Shang Jin led the order to retreat.

At this very moment, Xiao Rui's heart was in a good mood. The Nong Sheng Jia Sixie had already descended, and now Song Yingxing was here again. The two cooperated seamlessly! In the face of the Little Ice Age, Xiao Rui is more confident that man will conquer heaven!

After waiting for a few days, Song Yingxing hurried into the palace.

His heart is also uneasy.

When a person enters the age of no confusion, he will be able to discern the truth without being confused. He does not regret his resignation, because it is his temperament that he does not want to collude with corrupt officials. But he also regrets that he is full of talents, but he cannot use them to serve the country.

Originally thought that there would be nothing to do in this life, who would have thought that His Majesty called him urgently, and the reason for calling him to Beijing was vaguely mentioned in the letter written by the Bachelor of Commerce to him!

His Majesty seems to want him to be Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Director of the Ministry of Industry.

This this…

Song Yingxing was dumbfounded on the spot.

He is white now, just a teacher, how could His Majesty make him a third-rank official! It's against the rules!

So with excitement, Song Yingxing went to the palace to face the saint.

After coming to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to meet His Majesty and the Crown Prince, he stood there respectfully, waiting for His Majesty's question.

Emperor Xia sized up Song Yingxing, and saw that he was elegant, although he was wearing a cloth shirt, he was clean and tidy. This attitude made him very satisfied.

"I heard that after you kept your filial piety, you traveled around the Daxia prefecture, collected materials from various places and compiled a book, did you bring it?" Xiahuang asked.

Song Yingxing said excitedly: "Report to Your Majesty, Cao Min brought it."

As he said that, he took out the wooden box he brought with him, and when he opened it, there were books written by him in the box. The whole box was full, and there were 18 chapters in three volumes.

Hai Dafu took the wooden box and put it on the dragon table. Emperor Xia became interested and took it out in person. What caught his eyes were four vigorous characters: "Heavenly Creation of Things"!

"Heavenly Workers will replace them, and they will create things and make things happen! The name is well chosen!" Emperor Xia was quite delighted.

As soon as these words came out, Song Yingxing almost burst into tears.

Why did he work so hard to compile "Heavenly Creation of Things" to benefit the common people and help the world at the same time. Now His Majesty has recognized his efforts with a word.

Emperor Xia continued to read and read carefully. Gradually, His Majesty's expression changed from curiosity to surprise, and then from surprise to solemnity. After a long time...

"Snapped!"

When Emperor Xia slapped the table, Song Yingxing trembled in fright, and even Xiao Rui was startled.

Before Xiao Rui could ask why, His Majesty spoke first: "If Shang Jin hadn't recommended Song Aiqing, I would have scolded him! Song Aiqing is such a talented person, it's the fault of the officials, it's the big Xia's loss!"

Song Yingxing was dumbfounded, is His Majesty complimenting him? And the words are not stingy to praise! I am really flattered!

Xiao Rui naturally knew Song Yingxing's bullshit, this is not a joke! "Tiangong Kaiwu" is known as the world's first comprehensive work on agriculture and handicraft production, and it is a great scientific and technological work in Chinese history!

In the previous life, such a great book was discarded by Daqing, but Dongying regarded it as a treasure. It is a great irony!

"Song Aiqing, it's up to you to explain the outline of this book to me and the crown prince." Xia Huang said suddenly.

Only then did Song Yingxing come back to his senses, and then he calmed down his excited mood, saying: "Reporting to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness, "Tiangong Kaiwu" is divided into three volumes and eighteen chapters, namely "Nai Li", "Nai Fu", "Zhang Shi" and "Jian Jing"...the first volume records the cultivation and processing methods of grain, bean and hemp, the weaving and dyeing technology of silk, cotton and ramie, as well as the process of salt and sugar production..."

He only listened to his conversation, but the contents of the book were all recorded in his mind. Xiao Rui and Xia Huang listened carefully, and they didn't find it boring.

Until the sky was dark, Song Yingxing spoke dryly, Xiao Rui and His Majesty forgot about the time, and when they looked at the time, more than an hour had passed.

Emperor Xia was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Hai Dafu to hold a banquet, and granted Song Yingxing to the banquet. It is a supreme honor to dine with His Majesty, Song Yingxing was so excited that he almost couldn't hold his chopsticks steadily.

Tea and food are full, and the sky is already dark.

Emperor Xia asked, "Who else is there in the family?"

Song Yingxing said: "Both parents have passed away, Caomin's wife and children are living in Luzhou."

"I will order the forbidden army to pick them up to the capital personally, Song Aiqing, I want to appoint you as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and entrust you with a great responsibility. It is true that if you are poor, you are good at your own heart, and if you are rich, it is even more ambitious to help the world. At this moment, you Have this ability. This "Heavenly Creation" should not be left on the desk, but carried forward to the world!" Emperor Xia said sincerely.

Song Yingxing knelt down excitedly and said: "My emperor is above me. Your Majesty Song Yingxingmeng will not give up. I have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility. I am willing to serve the court with my seven feet."

Emperor Xia laughed loudly and said, "Okay! Aiqing get flattened quickly!"

Song Yingxing stood up, with tears of excitement already in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Song Yingxing begged quite boldly: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed, I have to say an unfeeling request!"

"Aiqing is free to speak!" Emperor Xia asked.

Song Yingxing said: "After I became Minister of the Ministry of Industry, I must reorganize the Ministry of Industry. I don't want the Ministry of Industry to leave a black sheep, or even form a party for personal gain and exclude dissidents. The Ministry of Industry is a sharp weapon of the country, which can help the great cause. I just want to concentrate on doing things instead of being caught in a power struggle."

Emperor Xia laughed. This person is really straightforward. Others would definitely not say that, because if they are not careful, they may anger His Majesty. And if these words spread, Song Yingxing, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, would be hated by the officials of the Ministry of Industry before he took office.

It seems that he was squeezed out by Xu Xianyang and resigned from office back then, and he is still angry now.

"According to your ideas, if you have something to do, go directly to the prince. He is still in charge of the right of the imperial censor. Impeaching officials is a piece of cake, haha..." Xia Huang joked.

Xiao Rui also smiled and said: "Master Song, I like to eliminate black sheep the most. We will communicate more when we have time."

Song Yingxing's uneasy heart was relieved, and he quickly agreed.
