When Luo Yuan returned to his residence, news of Canvas's selection of officials had spread throughout Chang 'an.
Not to mention the officials, even the ordinary people knew about this at the first moment.
There were many discussions in the streets. Although the commoners did not know much about officialdom, Li Shimin's childish way of selecting officials still caused a lot of criticism.
Luo Yuan's strength was undeniable. It could even be confirmed that Luo Yuan was a famous general of his generation, the God of War.
But was the position of Minister of Works really something a general could take on?
One had to know that the Minister of Works was in charge of engineering, craftsmen, wasteland, irrigation, transportation, and many other aspects.
It could also be understood that the people's livelihood was under the control of the Ministry of Works.
As for the reason why the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works had overlapping powers, it was because the Ministry of Works was in charge of the world's fertile land and water conservancy, while the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of taxes and so on.
A department that was related to the people's livelihood was directly given to a general. No wonder the people were discussing it.
Although there might have been someone instigating it, this matter still caused a lot of discussion.
However, in this world, the imperial power was still supreme.
Before Luo Yuan made a mistake or did nothing, they wouldn't go to Li Shiming and openly oppose this matter.
They were waiting for Luo Yuan to officially take office and mess up the Ministry of Works before they impeached him.
He wanted to let Luo Yuan know that as a general, he should obediently lead his troops into battle. The matters of the court had nothing to do with them.
Luo Yuan didn't know or care about the turmoil in Chang 'an.
On the second day, Luo Yuan came directly to the Ministry of Works. He was accompanied by the commander of Luo Yuan's Hanba Army.
Although they were all generals, they had no official positions in Chang 'an.
Therefore, Luo Yuan simply arranged for them to be in the Ministry of Works. After all, they were his people, so it was easy to order them around.
Li Shiming had already agreed to this matter. After all, a new official would do things quickly. If they didn't use their own people, no one would be willing to listen to Luo Yuan's orders.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis Wu."
Inside the Ministry of Works, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue led all the officials of the Ministry of Works to welcome them.
Luo Yuan nodded and walked in.
"In the future, in the Ministry of Works, you can just call me Minister.”
Luo Yuan's words were calm and even gentle.
However, for some reason, the assistant minister felt a huge pressure sweeping towards him.
He sighed in his heart. As expected of a ruthless person who destroyed a country. Even if he did not show his strength, his aura was still incomparable to ordinary people.
The first thing Luo Yuan did when he arrived at the Ministry of Works was to thoroughly investigate it.
Although he had discovered some things, Luo Yuan didn't make a big deal out of it. After all, this was the Ministry of Works. Other than embezzling some of the project funds when they were doing projects, the profits here were far inferior to the Ministry of Revenue.
Moreover, during the early Zhenguan period of the Great Tang, the officialdom was still relatively clean.
After all, the entire Great Tang was very poor. Other than the great clans, there was no money.
Of course, in a few more years, when the Great Tang developed, corrupt officials would prevail.
In Luo Yuan's personal office in the Ministry of Works.
"En, this one then."
Luo Yuan was looking through the Reputation System, looking for something that could be used.
After the war, Luo Yuan's reputation was still quite high, so he could buy many of the items here.
It was about to enter the end of the year. After the end of the year and spring, it was time for spring plowing and planting.
Luo Yuan had prepared a few things to promote in the Great Tang after spring.
The first was the Quyuan Plough, which appeared in many transmigration novels.
But to be honest, other than those farm children who grew up with farming tools, who would know what a curved shaft plow was and what its structure was like?
Anyway, Luo Yuan did not know about it, but it was in the system. He bought the surprise blueprint and handed it to his subordinate in the Hanba Army.
If he handed it over to them, the production of this could be kept absolutely confidential.
After all, the Hanba Army ruled the four counties west of the river and even the Tuyuhun territory that they had just taken over. A small portion of them would become Luo Yuan's blood slaves.
At that time, he would ask the Hanba Army to arrange for some blood slaves from the four counties in the west of the river to be placed in the workshop. Things like Qu Yuanli would not be exposed.
Other than Qu Yuanli, the other things that Luo Yuan took out were some grains, vegetables, and seeds of fruits.
All of them were high-tech products from the system back then. They had a high survival rate and an unimaginable high yield. These things were all excellent in this world.
However, the number of seeds was limited. Luo Yuan planned to cultivate them in the four counties west of the river and around Chang 'an City. They should be able to make it in time for the sowing in spring.
With these things, the people of the Great Tang would no longer have to go hungry in the coming year!
