Li Longji was surprised. He looked at Chen Wanrong for a while, and then said: "Have you thought about it? Only skilled craftsmen cannot enter the weapons supervisor. How many people have sharpened their heads to get in. This is the emperor's order, unlike them. "
The Weapons Supervisor gathered the skilled craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty. It was a great honor to go there. It was a dream in the hearts of countless people. What he said was right. However, the word "imperial order" was more attractive to Chen Wanrong, and he blurted out: "Prince, what kind of power do I have under the emperor's imperial order?"
Li Longji did not expect that Chen Wanrong was actually very interested in power and was surprised: "You don't even want to be an official. This weapons supervisor is a place to do business, not a place to exercise power. If anyone goes to the weapons supervisor to exercise power, they are blind." Here." The last sentence was a joke.
"Anyway, these things will be known in the future, and Chen Wanrong didn't hide it from him: "The prince doesn't know something. It's not impossible to go to the weapons inspection, but it just depends on whether there is any benefit in doing chemical industry."
"Of course there are benefits. If you want people, you can have money. It's much better than just fighting among the people alone." Li Longji replied seriously.
With his words, Chen Wanrong became more thoughtful and asked, "Can I ask for someone who makes steel?"
"What do you want steel for?" Li Longji was a little alert.
Chen Wanrong told the truth: "To be honest, chemical industry also requires steel, otherwise I won't be able to make the equipment I need, and the chemical industry won't be done well."
Li Longji walked a few steps: "It's okay to get steel, but there are conditions. The weapons inspection is a place where weapons are made for the army. If what you make is beneficial to the army, then of course there is no problem. I will give you as much as you want. If it is of no use to the army, not even a pound can be given. Although the soap is good, it is of little use to the army in battle. Such things cannot be made in the weapons department."
There are a few things that can be made related to war, such as gunpowder and nitroglycerin. Gunpowder does not require steel, and nitroglycerin is too unstable to make. Even if Chen Wanrong wanted to make other things, such as guns and ammunition, he couldn't make them, and it was useless to get steel. Acid and alkali required steel, but the prince refused to provide it, and Chen Wanrong was suddenly in trouble.
Li Longji continued: "This steel is extremely important to the army, especially fine steel, and it cannot be used for useless purposes. Think about it, the Turks in the north, the Tubo and Dashi in the west, and the Khitan in the northeast often make trouble. , If the army does not have sophisticated equipment, how can the people in Jingbian be peaceful?" Steel, especially fine steel, is a strategic material and is very important to the Tang Dynasty army. It is normal for him to have such concerns.
The reason was upright, and Chen Wanrong made up his mind and said: "Without steel, it won't be of much use if I go there. It's better to do it outside. Although the equipment is inferior, I can do more."
Li Longji took another step and said: "You need steel to make equipment. It's not that we can't give it to you. It's just that it has to be beneficial to the country and the people. Think about it, how many things in the chemical industry can meet this requirement?"
Acid and alkali are of great use to the country and the people. This is an unquestionable conclusion in modern society, but it was different in the Tang Dynasty. Even if Chen Wanrong makes acid, there is no industrial chain now. Who will sell it to except for his own use? It might even attract complaints. After weighing it up, Chen Wanrong shook his head: "Forget it, I'll do it myself. I'll take whatever I can do."
Li Longji confirmed once: "Have you thought about it?"
"Think about it." Chen Wanrong was very sure.
Li Longji felt a little regretful: "Okay, if you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me and I will try my best to help you."
"Thank you, Prince." Having this promise is more important than anything else, and Chen Wanrong's regrets are reduced a bit.
Li Longji continued: "One more thing, my father wants you to go to court tomorrow."
Although Chen Wanrong was an official, he was only a casual official from the eighth rank. Not to mention going to court, he was not even qualified to enter the court. He hurriedly asked: "Should I go to court?"
"Yes!" Li Longji understood his worries and said with a smile: "This is appointed by the emperor."
It¡¯s a different matter if the emperor appoints him personally, he is naturally qualified to enter the court. For others, this is a great honor, but Chen Wanrong had no such idea and said with a smile: "Prince, can you not go? I am a small eighth-grade official, I can go or not. .¡±
"Bold!" Li Longji's face darkened, and his tone rose a lot: "Do you think the official is too young? He has been an official of the imperial court since he was an eighth-rank official. It is the kindness of his father."
The prince's words became faster than turning the pages of a book. No wonder some people lamented that "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger." Chen Wanrong quickly argued: "Prince, I didn't mean that. I mean, I went to the court and it didn't help. I can't give advice or suggestions." Chen Wanrong is a casual official. The so-called casual official is a false position with a Dai salary and no work. He is still an official from the eighth rank. With him, there are not many, but without him, there are many. This is true.? asked vaguely: "Who is it? Are you knocking on the door so early in the morning?"
"If you don't get up, it will be too late to go to court!" Zheng Qing's voice came from outside the door. Only then did Chen Wanrong remember that he was going to court today. As expected, this was the first and last time in his life. He should cherish it. He got up in a hurry and opened the door. Zheng Qing came in with hot water: "Wash up quickly."
Chen Wanrong responded and started to wash his face. After washing my face and gargling my mouth, I finally finished all my busy work. Qing'e came in with half a bowl of porridge and put it on the table: "Master Guan, hurry up and eat. After you eat, go to court!" She was teasing, pursing her lips in amusement.
"Is this enough to eat? Bring some more!" Chen Wanrong looked at the bowl with dissatisfaction.
Zheng Qing, who has always relied on Chen Wanrong, didn't listen this time: "You should eat less in court, don't eat so much."
Chen Wanrong was surprised and asked: "Everyone is like you, why don't those officials starve to death when they go to court?"
Zheng Qing laughed out loud and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. All those officials have experienced hundreds of battles and have been to court countless times, so they are used to it. This is your first time going to court. If you eat too much, When one of you is not good, won¡¯t you feel uncomfortable? I have heard from Uncle Wu that I can only endure it.¡±
Chen Wanrong finally understood. She was worried that Chen Wanrong wanted to use the toilet in the court. In the presence of the emperor, Chen Wanrong wanted to go for convenience. It was really embarrassing. Such trivial matters had to be taken into account. Chen Wanrong had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to listen to her, drink a few sips, and rest his head slightly. Then with the help of Zheng Qing, he put on the official robe of a green shirt, put on the copper fish bag, and took a look in the bronze mirror. It's quite official, not much, just three points.
