But my heart was so moved!

Did the late emperor and the officials talk about me? And also said that I was a loyal elder?

Suddenly, a feeling called the grace of knowing someone came to mind.

"Don't be humble, sir!" The official said: "Huang Kao once said: There is no more loyal minister than Su Song in the court. He also taught me: If in the future, I want to assist ministers, Su Song will be one of them!

"

"When I met with you today, I felt that what Huang Kao said was indeed true!"

Su Song listened and quickly stood up and bowed his head in the direction of Yonghou Mausoleum: "The late emperor has such great love, I am ashamed to accept it!"

But the official said: "You must not be humble!"

"I summoned you to the palace today because I want to invite you to come to Kaifeng Mansion to assist me in governing the inside and outside of Kaifeng Mansion!"

Naturally, Su Song did not dare to disobey the order, and immediately bowed: "Old minister, I obey your Majesty's order and do not dare to disobey it!"

With his current status and qualifications, even serving as the prefect of Kaifeng would actually be considered a demotion.

But, the situation is different now.

Kaifeng Mansion is under the personal leadership of the Emperor, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion can almost be regarded as close ministers of the Emperor in a sense.

No matter how low the rank is, it is still a noble and dangerous position.

It's like being a Jingyan official. Fan Zuyu, Cheng Yi, and Lu Xizhe, who have the lowest official positions, are all just officials in the capital.

Especially Cheng Yi and Lu Xizhe were not even Jinshi, but they were granted Jinshi status by the emperor.

But who dares to underestimate them?

What's more, Su Song was personally recruited by the emperor, and Jinkou Yuyan also used the late emperor's name to recruit him.

This is such a great favor and courtesy from the emperor, it is almost comparable to being worshiped as a prime minister!

I just heard the official on the throne say with great joy: "I have Aiqing to assist me, just like King Wen had Jiang Taigong, Qin Mugong met Baili Xi..."

"I hope that in the future, my beloved, you will give me more advice and correct my mistakes!"

"I don't dare, but I respectfully obey the Holy Order!" Su Song could only be moved now.

When the emperor was young, he personally summoned him to the palace and entrusted him to assist in important tasks and to rectify things.

This is something that every scholar-bureaucrat can never dream of.

At the same time, it is also something that scholar-bureaucrats strive for diligently.

If you can meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty and see how it can be used in the present time, you won’t have the sorrow of a thousand-mile horse!

Excited, Su Song looked at his imperial hut, and then boldly made his request: "I am scared, and I have something to report to your majesty..."

"Please tell me..."

"I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. I am very fond of mathematics, astronomy and Lu Ban's affairs... I have seen many mistakes in the court's cloudy fortune instrument and oval inscriptions..."

"I want to summon the world's mathematicians, astronomers, and Luban's skilled craftsmen to redefine our dynasty's Hunyun Yun Yuan and the clevis, and even go one step further, combine them into one, and learn about Zhang Heng's affairs in the Han Dynasty!"

The official did not hesitate and said directly: "This is easy! I will report to the two palaces and set up a special bureau. I will give you some advice and be responsible for this matter!"

Su Song quickly bowed and thanked him again.

The official said: "However, I am in Kaifeng Mansion, but I still need Aiqing to do his best to assist me!"

"I am so frightened that I dare not obey the edict?!" Su Song was extremely happy.

The problem that had troubled him for a long time was solved today.

The official support made him even more happy!

With the support of the emperor, he can get help from the entire Song Dynasty!

Experts in craftsmanship, astronomy, and mathematics can all be recruited from all over the world.

The money and materials required are as much as you need!

…

Zhao Xu looked at Su Song who was overjoyed in the palace.

He is happier.

Su Song's loyalty, meticulousness and generosity are combined with Cai Jing's skill, ability and determination.

What's this?

Tianpai! This is Tianhu’s opening!

Moreover, now because Zhao Xu personally leads the Kaifeng Mansion.

Therefore, in the past, we had to guard against the problems that ministers had been serving as officials in Kaifeng Prefecture for a long time, which were complicated and difficult to control. We no longer need to worry about it.

Officials in Kaifeng Prefecture can be retained for a long time.

For Zhao Xu, this was almost like a experimental field where he could do things with confidence.

At the same time, Su Song is going to make the ‘Yuanyou Hun Yun Water Transport Instrument’?!

This is fishing for grass and hunting rabbits!

What is the biggest feature of Yuanyou Hun Yun Water Movement Instrument?

Those precision parts? Those practical astronomical observation instruments? Those world-first escapements?

Both and none!

Water transport, water transport!

That machine, which represented the crystallization of science and technology in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, was a machine driven by water power!

Hydraulic power, before the steam engine, is the most reliable, complex, and stable source of power for mankind!

There are countless things that water power can do.

In the Song Dynasty alone, there were already waterwheels, watermills and other machines that utilized water power.

Especially the water mill is now the most important infrastructure in Bianjing City.

Most of Bianjing City needs water mills to produce spring grain and grind flour.
