In Russia, Wenshen purchased three small military drone reconnaissance aircraft with a wingspan of less than two meters and a high-definition camera. It was also very simple to operate and could take off by hand. Then, Wenshen came to Yemen and purchased a batch of Russian automatic rifle bullets. After transporting the shopping supplies to the Song Dynasty camp, it was completely dark.

The next morning, when Wenshen was still dreaming, the people who followed the troops came to the open space next to the east gate of Kaifeng and set up street stalls.

"The guys from the south and from the north are sold out. It only costs two cents a box..."

"Don't make mistakes when you pass by. The quality soap is processed in large quantities. Don't be consistent or a hundred ci. Now you can buy one for only ten ci..."

...

In the morning, when the businessmen who rushed to Beijing to do business, they saw so many novel things with high quality and low prices at the gate of Beijing, they stopped and watched. After seeing the sellers' demonstration, they all rushed to buy them.

Wang Daniu originally worked in a cement factory, but this time he saw Wen Shen go to war, so he quit his job. He used the money he earned this year and borrowed some from his relatives to buy 10,000 boxes of matches. Now, in less than a morning, all the matches have been sold out.

Aunt Wang and Wang Daniu looked at the bags of silver with blushing faces. Aunt Wang said excitedly: "How long has it been since the head of the family? I have made so much money. Otherwise, how about we go back to Yizhou and sell it?" Wang Daniu said with a contemptuous look: "What do you know, a woman."

"Why don't I understand? I remember that I made more money than you when I bought snacks." Aunt Wang retorted with an unhappy look. When Wang Daniu heard this, his tone was reduced by half and he smiled apologized: "Okay, I mean, do you think you make more money by going back to sell matches, or do you continue to go to the northwest to make more money by following the national teacher?"

"This...it's hard to say." Aunt Wang said hesitantly.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in gray clothes walked up to Wang Daniu and asked, "Daniu, have your matches sold out?" Wang Daniu smiled and said, "It's sold out. Judging from your appearance, you'll sell out yours."

The middle-aged man smiled and whispered: "Sold out, Daniu, I want to go back to Yizhou to buy some and sell them. Where are you?" Wang Daniu thought for a while and said: "I want to follow the troops to the northwest to check?"

The middle-aged man said anxiously: "What else are you going to see? You see, we can only go back and forth in Yizhou for seven or eight days, and we can earn twice the money at once. This time I made more than 100 yuan at once. In this way, we will get rich after a few times."

Aunt Wang was a little moved and said to Wang Daniu: "Boss, I think Brother Zhuzi is right." Wang Daniu touched the silver in his pocket and looked up so hard that he decided to say, "Zhuzi, I think I'd better follow the national teacher to the northwest. I think I can definitely make a lot of money when I go to the northwest this time."

The middle-aged man looked at Wang Daniu and said, "Then I'm going back. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now our goods have been sold out. Why don't we go to Kaifeng City to take a look. I heard that it's so prosperous inside, so I'll deposit the silver at the Dasong Money House."

"I have this idea too. Then let's go together." Wang Daniu said. So he stored the car next to an acquaintance selling glass, and the three of them happily started to wander the capital.

The people who followed the troops sold out all the goods brought by Yizhou in a day and made a fortune. Nearly half of the people deposited their money at the Dasong Money House, and then drove empty carts to Yizhou in groups, intending to sell some more to sell.

After learning that Yizhou has produced various magical commodities, merchants traveled north in large numbers. For a time, there were traffic on the official roads in Yizhou.

...

In the afternoon, Wenshen followed Liang Shicheng to Yanfu Palace to pay homage to Song Huizong. "National Master, I was very eye-opening yesterday. There are so many new equipment. I think this time the northwest sent troops will definitely have a good record." Song Huizong said with great enthusiasm.

Wang Fu next to him echoed: "Master, this time, Li Xia will definitely be able to bow to Chen Chen." Song Huizong laughed and said: "Okay! What does the national teacher think of the Science and Technology Department?"

Wen Shen stood up and bowed, "Weichen believes that it is very necessary to establish the Science and Technology Department. In the future, it will be of great help to the development of science and technology and the production of new weapons. In addition, it may increase the tax revenue of the court."

When the Minister of Revenue heard that he could make money, he was very interested and said: "The Military Equipment Institute has always been a big money-consuming business. I wonder how the national teacher makes money?" Wen Shen smiled and said: "There are many ways to make money. Isn't it faster or slower to come?"

"Of course it's fast?" The Minister of Revenue said anxiously. Wen Shen smiled and said, "I will know when I come back from the northwest this time." The Minister of Revenue saw that Wen Shen was kept silent, but he had no choice but to say, "I am waiting for good news to the national teacher."

Wen Shen said to Song Huizong again: "Your Majesty, who is the subject of the report from the Science and Technology Department?" Song Huizong thought for a while and said: "All matters of the Science and Technology Department are reported directly to me, and other provinces and ministries are not allowed to interfere."

The left prime minister Zheng Juzhong hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Emperor, this is not suitable." Song Huizong's face darkened and said, "Zheng Aiqing, tell me, why is it not suitable?"

"Emperor, since Yuanfeng's restructuring and restoration of the three provinces and six ministries, officials and posts have basically corresponded. Now there is an additional science and technology department, independent of the three provinces and six ministries, which will weaken the functions of other official positions." Zheng Juzhong said slowly. Song Huizong thought for a while and asked Wenshen: "What functions should the national teacher think the science and technology department have?"

Wen Shen thought for a while and said, "Function 1: put forward the macro strategy of scientific and technological development and the principles, policies, and regulations of science and technology to promote economic and social development; study major issues of science and technology to promote economic and social development; study and determine major layouts and priority areas of scientific and technological development; promote the construction of a national science and technology innovation system and improve the national science and technology innovation capabilities." After saying that, Wen Shen paused and said, "Function 2: formulate and organize the implementation of industrial industry plans, industrial policies and standards; monitor the daily operation of the industrial industry; promote the development of major technological equipment and independent innovation; manage the communications industry, and guide the promotion of informatization construction."

After saying that, Wen Shen looked at Song Huizong. Song Huizong was confused and asked, "National Master, you said it well. But what do you mean by industry, communication, standards, and informatization?"

It turned out that Song Huizong and others were completely confused by many current nouns, and Wenshen had to spend more than an hour explaining the meaning of these words.

After listening to it, Song Huizong was still confused and said anxiously: "The national teacher should not talk about these literary words. Just use a few sentences to talk about the functions of the Science and Technology Department."

Wen Shen said: "First, can manage craftsmen across the country and arrange the work of craftsmen. Second, be responsible for the management of all emerging workshops." This time, Song Huizong smiled and said: "This time I understand. I think the Science and Technology Department can operate alone. Let's do it. The Science and Technology Department and the Six Divisions are ranked side by side, and the Science and Technology Shishou Yin Qing Guanglu Dafu."

When Zheng Juzhong heard that the newly established Science and Technology Department was still under his jurisdiction, he bowed and said, "The Emperor is wise." Song Huizong smiled and said, "Zheng Aiqing, after you go back, you will arrange to build a new house in the capital for the office of the Science and Technology Department."

...

After leaving Yanfu Palace, Wenshen bowed to Zheng Juzhong and said, "Mr. Taizai, I hope to support you more in the future." Zheng Juzhong smiled and said, "The national teacher is young and strong, and will be able to manage the Science and Technology Department in an orderly manner." Wenshen and other ministers were polite and returned to the camp.

Wenshen got together, and the Minister of Revenue asked Zheng Juzhong: "Master Dazai, please see if the Science and Technology Department will infringe on other departments." Zheng Juzhong stroked his beard, looked at the Minister of Works, and said: "It's hard to say. It doesn't seem to be there now, but it's hard to say whether there will be any in the future. However, there should be nothing to the Ministry of Revenue, but it's a lot of infringement on the Ministry of Works."

The Minister of Works said with a depressed look: "Yes, the Ministry of Works can't manage craftsmen anymore, how can you do it?" Zheng Juzhong smiled and said: "I think the Science and Technology Department cannot mobilize all craftsmen at once. Most craftsmen should be able to call them at any time."

With a "hey", the Minister of Works said helplessly: "We can only do this first."

...

Wen Shen just returned to the camp and saw Wang Chao running over and said, "Secretary, about half of the people who followed us this afternoon have returned to Yizhou."

Wenshen wondered, "Why is this?" Wang Chao said, "Return to the committee seat, today the people sold all the items brought by Yizhou in the capital. I heard that they had made a fortune. These people planned to go back to Yizhou to buy items and go back to the capital to sell them."
