Tang Yi obviously did not recommend Chen Zheng to the Minister of Works Sun Mingzhi as he promised before.

So, Chen is considering whether to take the initiative to take the lead?

After all, the construction of the Hai Whale Bone Temple is also an opportunity to become famous. If the name of Chen Ji Woodworking Workshop is opened in Kyoto, the benefits will be considerable.

After repeated consideration, Chen Zheng decided to take a look first.

Kyoto is full of talents, so there may not be no man-made this sea whale bone temple.

After two days like this, no one took the list, which made Chen Zheng very puzzled.

In the palace, the court meeting was completed and all officials withdrew.

Sun Mingzhi, the Minister of Works, was a little frowning and was in a bad mood.

During the meeting just now, Emperor Xiao Ding asked him about the construction of the Sea Whale Bone Temple, but now their Ministry of Works has no clue and has made no progress at all.

Although Xiao Ding didn't say anything, Sun Mingzhi knew that he could not delay any longer, otherwise his career would end.

But how to build a sea whale bone temple? Is there a temple built with bones?

His Sun Mingzhi has been an official in the Ministry of Works for many years, but he has never heard of any sea whale bone temple.

The list of craftsmen has been sent out for two days, but there is no movement at all.

Several craftsmen in the Ministry of Works dare not take action. After all, this sea whale bone is just like this. If it is broken, it would be a serious crime.

Therefore, no one dares to take this lead.

This made Sun Mingzhi worry. He decided that after he went back to the court today, he would personally invite the elderly scholastic craftsmen in Kyoto, saying that he would build the Sea Whale Bone Temple no matter what.

All the ministers had left, but Emperor Xiao Ding had not left yet, because Prince Xiao Zan was still standing aside, obedient.

Xiao Ding asked a few questions casually, all of which were discussed with his ministers during the court meeting just now.

Xiao Zan responded one by one. Although the answer was not perfect, he had his own ideas and was not satisfactory. Xiao Ding was in a good mood.

"Za'er, how do you think of the Sea Whale Bone Temple?" Xiao Ding asked another question.

Xiao Zan thought for a while and said, "My son has never heard of any sea whale bone temple before. Is this the father's method that he wants to rectify the Ministry of Works?"

Xiao Ding only has Xiao Zan a son. When they talked between the two, Xiao Zan had no scruples. Even if he said the wrong thing, at most he would be scolded by Xiao Ding for a few words, and there would be no other dangers.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiao Ding glared at Xiao Zan and said, "Then Sun Mingzhi worked diligently, how could I punish him for no reason?"

"Then I don't know why my father is difficult for the Ministry of Works." Xiao Zan shook his head and said.

Xiao Ding was quite satisfied with Xiao Zan's performance before, but he was obviously not satisfied with these two answers.

"Do you think someone can build the Sea Whale Bone Temple?" Xiao Ding asked again.

Xiao Zan shook his head and said, "To put it bluntly, the sea whale is just a bigger fish. How can fish bones be used to build temples? I can't figure it out."

Xiao Ding nodded and said, "If you can't make it, you can't make it. Let Sun Mingzhi worry about it for a few days."

"Wait." Xiao Zan suddenly shouted.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Xiao Ding's face. Except for his only son, no one dared to say "wait" in front of him.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Ding asked.

Xiao Zan smiled and said, "I remembered that someone came here, he might build this sea whale bone temple."

Xiao Ding raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there really such a skilled craftsman? Who is it?"

"Father, have you forgotten? He is a carpenter named Chen Zheng." Xiao Zan reminded.

Xiao Ding frowned, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I really can't remember it. Tell me, who is this Chen Zheng?"

"Father, you are so busy with everything you need, and you have forgotten the troubles of noble people." Xiao Zan curled his lips and said, "Have you forgotten the "Dongyang Ligang Disaster Relief Record" that you have seen for your sons before?"

When talking about the disaster relief article by Li Gang, the magistrate of Dongyang County, Xiao Zan remembered and said, "I remember it. It said, "There is another craftsman, Chen Zheng, who built a harbor and built fishing boats, fishing more than 200,000 kilograms a day, and the people of the prefecture all rely on food for them." Is this Chen Zheng you are talking about?"

Xiao Zan nodded and said, "Yes, it's him!"

"Do you know him?" Xiao Ding asked again.

"Of course, I can't hide it from it. When I was hunting the sea whale, the son minister was also on the scene. Logically, there were also the son minister's contributions." Xiao Zan said proudly.

Xiao Ding chuckled and said, "So, I want to reward you."

"There is no need to be rewarded. My son is not the vain person." Xiao Zan was even more proud.

"snort!"

Xiao Ding suddenly snorted heavily, scaring Xiao Zan so much that he quickly stopped talking. Only then did he realize that he was a little proud.

"Why are you sure that Chen Zheng can build this sea whale bone temple?" Xiao Ding asked. This is what he cares most about.

Xiao Zan looked at Xiao Ding not so angry, so he answered: "My son has seen all kinds of big ships made by Chen Zheng, including the treasure ship that came to Beijing to transport sea whale bones, which are all extremely exquisite and practical. Moreover, the various utensils he made in the woodworking workshop opened in Dongyang County are also quite exquisite."

Xiao Ding nodded after hearing this and said, "Since that's the case, he ordered the Ministry of Works to go to Dongyang County to call this person and build the Sea Whale Bone Temple."

"Father, you don't have to send someone to call him." Xiao Zan said with a smile.

"Will he come by himself? Although the Ministry of Works has released the recruitment list, it may not be able to spread to Dongyang County. Even if it is transmitted to Dongyang County, Chen Zheng may not be willing to come." Xiao Ding said.

Xiao Zan smiled slightly and said, "There is no need to be so troublesome. Then Chen Zheng is in Kyoto now."

"In Kyoto?" Xiao Ding was stunned, "What did he come to Kyoto?"

"Chen Zheng is one of the candidates to escort the sea whale bones to Kyoto this time." Xiao Zan explained.

Xiao Ding gave Xiao Zan a blank look, pondered for a long time, and said, "Zan, you have to remember that although you are my only son, sometimes you should pay attention to your sense of qualities. This sentence can explain things clearly, so don't beat around the bush. Do you know? I'm very busy."

"My son knows." Xiao Zan replied obediently.

"Get back." Xiao Ding waved his hand impatiently.

After Xiao Zan left, Xiao Ding ordered Wei Congshi beside him: "Parent Wei, please send someone to remind Sun Mingzhi and ask him to find that Chen Zheng."

"I obey the order." After Wei Cong's servant came down, he also retreated from the Tingzheng Hall.

As soon as Xiao Zan returned to Jinlin Palace, he called his servant Yang Xiaoping over and said, "Change clothes and accompany me to the palace to play."

"Your Highness, where are we going?" Yang Xiaoping asked. He now had some psychological shadows about leaving the palace and had to ask clearly.

"Honglu Temple." Xiao Zan said.

Yang Xiaoping breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Honglu Temple is good, it's close.
