However, although the Ministry of Works did not hold a high position among the Six Ministries, it was responsible for a considerable number of matters.
The entire Ministry of Works was divided into four major bureaus, each headed by a vice minister.
The Construction and Management Office (营修清吏司) was responsible for construction and management.
The Yuheng Qingli Division was responsible for overseeing the harvesting and smelting of fish in mountains, forests, rivers, and lakes.
The Water Conservancy Bureau was responsible for supervising water conservancy, transportation, textile manufacturing, and weights and measures.
The Tuntian Qingli Division was responsible for the management of land reclamation, land allocation, firewood and charcoal, labor services, and burial grounds.
Below these four major bureaus were the weaving and dyeing bureau, the miscellaneous manufacturing bureau, the firewood and charcoal bureau, and so on.
This time, Mu Zian chose the Yuheng Qingli Division, which was responsible for smelting.
The Dingxiang Military Command, established in Liangzhou, was lacking in resources and naturally could not compare to the Ministry of Works in the capital.
Therefore, Mu Zian's choice of the Ministry of Works was solely to utilize the resources of the capital to provide financial support to the Liangzhou Military Affairs Bureau.
In the past few days, Mu Zian and Jia Xu have also communicated.

Some new firearms and equipment have already entered the experimental stage.

As a close confidant of Jeli, his status was even slightly higher than that of the Right Wise King Agobhutan.
Moreover, Gao Qiu even won over a large number of nomadic tribes from the grasslands to serve him.
Furthermore, under Gao Qiu's deliberate promotion, Jieli Khan has decided to build a city on the grasslands that rivals the capital of Dali.
And this city will turn into a tick and eventually suck all the blood out of the entire grassland.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Mu Zian smiled.
If a nomadic people no longer nomadic, and their elusive whereabouts cease to be unknown.
Those dynasties in the Central Plains with maxed-out agricultural stats would only be crushed.
After arranging things for the New Year, Mu Zian finally couldn't delay any longer.
On the first day of February, Mu Zian went to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to report for duty.
