Chapter 462

When Yu Chihuan returned to Zhongshu Province, the civil and military officials had already come to the six departments of the three provinces to be on duty.

Yu Chihuan then summoned Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, to come over.

The Ministry of Industry is not far from Zhongshu Province.

Within half a stick of incense, Yan Lide, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, came to Zhongshu Province.

When Yu Chihuan heard that Yan Lide was coming, he immediately asked him to come in.

"I have seen the young Prime Minister Yuchi!"

As soon as Yan Lide stepped into Zhongshuling's office, he saluted Yuchihuan respectfully.

Yuchi Huan raised his head, stared at Yan Lide and said with a smile: "Yan Lide, you sent someone to study at the Ancestral Temple Compass Workshop today, and you will expand the supervisor to a compass workshop in the future!"

Yan Lide was surprised and said: "Young Prime Minister Yuchi, the Taimiao is under the management of Taichang Temple, and the compass workshop is related to the interests of the Ministry of Rites. Have you talked about this with Tang Jian, the Minister of Rites?"

Taimiao is under the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple.

And Taichang Temple is a yamen under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites!

So the immediate boss of the compass workshop in Taimiao is Tang Jian, Minister of Rites!

Yu Chihuan smiled and said, "Yan Lide, I invented the compass. Does the Ministry of Industry need to notify the Ministry of Rites in advance to expand the compass workshop?"

Yan Lide smiled wryly and said, "Young Prime Minister Yuchi, if you force the Ministry of Industry to expand the compass workshop, the Ministry of Rites will definitely have nothing to do, but this is tantamount to losing face to the Ministry of Rites!"

Yu Chihuan pointed at Yan Lide, and said solemnly: "Yan Lide, you can just talk to Tang Jun, Minister of Rites, about this matter!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

Yan Lide did not dare to disobey Yuchihuan's order.

In fact, according to the rules, the Ministry of Science and Technology cannot control the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War are both yamen under the command of Shangshu Province!

The immediate boss of Shangshu Yan Lide of the Ministry of Industry is Shangshu Zuo Servant Fang Xuanling!
But now Li Er rewarded Yuchihuan with the sword of Shangfang and ordered Yuchihuan to supervise the construction of the Royal Academy!
Now both the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households need to obey Yuchihuan's orders.

This also inadvertently increased Yuchihuan's authority.

Although Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is not an official under Zhongshu Province, Yuchihuan is more terrifying in his eyes than his immediate boss Fang Xuanling.

Yu Chihuan waved his hand and said, "Yan Lide, if Tang Jian is unwilling to compromise, just tell me!"

"The officer knows!"

Yan Lide didn't know whether to laugh or cry, although Tang Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was an official of the third rank, he definitely didn't dare to offend Yuchihuan!
"Yan Lide, you can go!"

After Yu Chihuan finished arranging the compass workshop, he sent Yan Lide away.

"Subordinate to obey!"

If Yan Lide was granted an amnesty, he would immediately flee from Zhongshu Province.

"Is this officer so scary?"

Yu Chihuan stared at Yan Lide who was running away, speechless.

Next, Yu Chihuan corrected the memorials submitted by the civil and military officials.

……

Shang Shuxing, Ministry of Rites!

Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, left Zhongshu Province and went to the Ministry of Rites to find Tang Jian, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites!

Seeing Yan Lide coming to the Ministry of Rites panting, Tang Jian said in surprise, "Yan Lide, what wind brought you here today?"

Yan Lide pointed at Tang Jian and gloated: "Tang Jian, you are in great danger, yet you still dare to make fun of me!"

Tang Jian turned pale and said, "Yan Lide, don't you want to scare the old man?"

Yan Lide said solemnly: "Tang Jian, I'm not trying to scare you. This time, Prime Minister Yuchi has something to look for you!"

When Tang Jian heard Yan Lide mention Yuchi Huan's name, he immediately panicked and said, "Yan Lide, this old man hasn't provoked Young Chancellor Yuchi recently, why did he bother me?"

Yan Lide's goal of intimidating Tang Jian has been achieved, and he immediately hit the rails while it's hot: "Tang Jian, the young Prime Minister Yuchi ordered the general to be the supervisor and expand the compass workshop today, do you agree with the Ministry of Rites?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Our Ministry of Rites has no objection!"

Tang Jian resolutely said: "Yan Lide, the old man will immediately arrange for the craftsmen of the compass workshop to be the prisoner!"

Yan Lide said with a smile on his face: "Tang Jian, since you have said so, the old man should be respectful rather than obedient!"

After all, Yan Lide took Tang Jian to the compass workshop in Taimiao.

In order to satisfy Yuchihuan, Tang Jian directly dispatched craftsmen from the compass workshop to be on duty as the supervisor.

This also saved Yan Lide a lot of time, manpower and material resources.

Li Chunfeng also unconditionally implemented the arrangement of Tang Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Even though the number of craftsmen in the Taimiao Compass Workshop has been reduced by half, the output of the Compass Workshop has not decreased.

The factor that limits the output of the Taimiao Compass Workshop today is that there are too few magnets in reserve.

In the afternoon of that day, the compass workshop, where the Ministry of Industry will be the supervisor, opened.

As a veteran of the compass workshop, Wu Meiniang is also in charge of teaching generals and supervisors to make compass this time.

Yan Lide will then report to Yuchihuan on the matter of supervising the compass workshop.

Yu Chihuan was very satisfied with Yan Lide's work efficiency, and specially played Li Er to praise Yan Lide.

When Li Er learned that the Ministry of Industry would be the supervisor and also produce compass, Longyan was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded Yan Lide with fifty pieces of cloth!

Yan Lide was rewarded by Li Er, and he immediately felt that today's hard work was worthwhile.

……

Pacific Ocean, Southwest Islands!

Half a month later, under the leadership of Liu Rengui, the [-] five-tooth boats of the Zhongzhou Navy finally arrived at the island of guano!

The island of guano is much bigger than Liu Rengui imagined!

When the Zhongzhou Navy's five-toothed boat approached the island of guano, thousands of seabirds were immediately startled and soared into the sky.

Then, a flock of birds that covered the sky and the earth flew up from the island of guano, covering the entire sky.

Liu Rengui then ordered Zhongzhou navy craftsmen to build a simple dock along the coast of Guano Island.

In the afternoon, the pier of Guano Island was finally built.

Liu Rengui then ordered the officers and soldiers of the Zhongzhou Navy to use reinforced concrete to reinforce the wharf of Guano Island.

If there is no accident, this temporary dock can be used tomorrow!

Liu Rengui then sent Datang scouts to go ashore to investigate the military situation.

Liu Rengui was taken aback by the information brought back by the scouts from the Tang Dynasty. He didn't expect this to be an uninhabited island.

The inhabitants of the island of guano are the flocks of birds overhead.

Liu Rengui learned that there was no human habitation on the island of guano, so he simply ordered the soldiers of the Zhongzhou navy to take off their heavy armor and go ashore in regular clothes to investigate the guano mines.

In the evening, all the government soldiers who went to the island to investigate the island of guano returned.

Liu Rengui collected the survey data of the government soldiers, and then made a summary.

The result surprised Liu Rengui, because the whole island of guano is full of guano precipitated minerals!

"Young Prime Minister Yuchi really didn't deceive the general. The island of guano is indeed an island made of guano, haha!"

Liu Rengui is in a good mood, and he plans to dig the guano mine tomorrow.

That night, the soldiers of the Zhongzhou Navy's government recharged their batteries and prepared to go to the island to mine guano and return to Datang tomorrow.

At noon the next day, the pier built by the Zhongzhou Navy on the island of guano finally dried up, and the pier could be used to carry the guano back to Datang.

Liu Rengui personally led [-] Zhongzhou navy soldiers to mine the guano mine!
At night, Liu Rengui filled twenty five-toothed boats with bird droppings.

Five days later, the Zhongzhou Navy's [-] five-toothed ships were all filled with guano minerals.

Liu Rengui then returned to Datang with a full load of [-] five-toothed ships.

This time, the Zhongzhou navy carried a total of 100 million stone guano back to Datang!
