Chapter 66

Palace City, Taiye Pool, Evening Pavilion

His Majesty, dressed in casual clothes, was teasing the koi in the pond with the fish food in his hands with his hands. The tiny yellow flowers on the osmanthus trees bloomed in the late autumn season, making the evening fragrance pavilion surrounded by flowers and trees also filled with fragrance, which made people feel refreshed.

Since ascending the throne, Li Shi was rarely so leisurely and felt by this leisurely and elegant atmosphere. He was so kind and very happy about the words. He was so poetic that he was very excited. He took a deep breath of the refreshing fragrance in the wind, staring at the flowers that were broken like yellow rice on the branches, and chanted in a rumbling voice: "Pressing the west wind is good for everyone, and the autumn colors are very busy for me." At this point, he suddenly stopped. His Majesty the Emperor was exhausted for a while, and he felt countless words rolling in his heart, but there was no word to connect with the previous sentence. While he was thinking hard, he heard a clear voice on the side slowly following: "A branch is lightly stored outside the southern pavilion, and the man and the flower heart are fragrant."

"What a 'a person and a flower-hearted person are both fragrant'! It would be a pity for Cui Qing to avoid entering the Hanlin Garden. This is a great talent! If it weren't for the lack of qualifications, the Jinshi of the Qing family would be a good candidate for the exam." After carefully lying these two lines of poetry, Li Shi said with a smile to Cui Po, who was standing three feet outside the pavilion.

"The articles and poems are originally a small way to entertain people, and I deserve to be praised by Your Majesty! However, if you want to talk about the Jinshi exam, the Weichen Is a little bit of a pity!" After celebrating the crime, the little yellow gate in charge of the summoning turned around and retreated. With Li Shi's waves, Cui Po also walked slowly to the bottom of the pavilion and sat down.

"Cui Qing is such a good treat. This is the best 'Burding' tea that has just been 800 miles faster than Ma Gongjin. I boiled it with the rootless water collected before the Cold Food Festival. The water just boiled twice, and the Qing family's Ke Ke'er arrived. It seems that he has a good relationship with this tea!" His Majesty in a good mood fiddled with the tea sets in front of him and teased Cui Po. At a moment, the water had been boiling three times, and the small mud gold furnace was really "the sound of fish eyes raised, and the cauldron was floating in the light of the sun." Li Shi chuckled and skillfully ordered the tea and finished the flowers. He gestured to Cui Po to drink it himself with his eyes, and picked up the tea cup and said, "What do Cui Qing have any thoughts, but it's okay!"

After gently raising the cup and taking a sip, letting the bitter and thick mellow fragrance flow through the tongue several times, Cui Po said gently: "In the humble opinion, this Jinshi exam is useless to the country, and it can be cancelled!"

Cui Po was famous all over the world from a high school in Jinshi. Later, he was awarded a good position and was promoted very quickly. It can be said that he was one of the biggest beneficiaries of undergraduate studies. At this time, he, the top scholar in Jinshi, said such words that he wanted to abolish the Jinshi, which only shocked Li Shida. He stopped the teacup in his hand and said in surprise: "Why did Cui Qing say this?"

"This dynasty Jinshi's imperial examination became a custom-made one. During the Shenlong period of the Empress Zetian Wu, at that time, the Tang Dynasty was in full swing, and there were no boundaries outside, and all countries came to the court. The court was in a state of good at rhetoric, thinking that singing and dancing events were up. In addition, Empress Wu was very fond of this matter and had a long political period, so it was able to make this subject a custom-made one. The original was originally established and the Ming law and the Ming calculation subjects were no different. However, after decades, the Jinshi's imperial examination has become the "highest of all subjects, the Chinese selection of Shilin Huaxuan". One person won and was immediately famous all over the world. Things in this world are originally 'too much as too little', so how can this matter be exceptional?"

At this point, Cui Po raised his cup and sipped a sip. He glanced at Li Shi and saw that he had no resentment. He continued: "At this time, the court's internal and external troubles gathered together, which was necessary to recruit talents who were responsible for their duties, not those who could only recite Chinese and beautiful poems. However, the Jinshi was proud of his own, which made everyone in the world proud of this subject, and was practical and frivolous. Countless scholars were willing to waste their entire lives. Even if they were able to go to high school, they did not worry about their peers. Instead, they often boasted of "Shilin Huaxuan" and despise their colleagues. This was a big loss of the original intention of the court to select people. The method of taking materials from the court actually concerns the academic knowledge of scholars all over the world.

The orientation must be very careful. Your Majesty has not long been ascending to the throne. It is appropriate to remove this bad policy, promote practical learning such as Ming law, Ming calculation, and suppress the Jinshi, and use the original intention of selecting materials to focus on real and eliminate virtuality. In this way, we have accumulated decades of hard work to cultivate a large number of practical talents who are capable of governing the country and condemn the local area. If every county can use those who know the law to manage the law and those who know the wealth to manage the wealth, the Tang Dynasty will reduce the number of unreasonable imprisonment, and save a lot of unnecessary waste? Let people learn from their talents and enjoy them, and then use what they learn to govern the local area and to appease the people. Only in this way can we be the foundation of our dynasty's long-term stability!"

When he spoke these words, although Cui Po had a faint expression on his face, he was really nervous at that time. The imperial examination system that was established during the Shenlong period of the Tang Dynasty lasted for thousands of years. Among them, there were those who praised and criticized it, but no one could deny its huge influence. If he could improve its disadvantages and use its advantages when this system first began, and establish a standard for selecting materials with practicality as the first priority, it would be a great good policy that would last for thousands of years! If this item was achieved, it would be worth his visit to the Tang Dynasty!

It was because of this thought that Cui Po raised his hands slightly trembled. He pretended to be calm and his heart was hanging, waiting nervously for His Majesty's answer.

After hearing this, Li Shi smiled slightly, took a cup and sipped a tea drink and said, "I heard that after Cui Qing's family accepted the supervision of the field, they actually appointed the craftsmen to choose the leader of the supervisor, and even withdrew all the soldiers in the supervision. But I don't know what the purpose of this move is?"

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor interrupted, Cui Po felt a little disappointed, but having the opportunity to explain a new type of management to the co-lord of the world was a rare opportunity. He immediately gathered his mind, thought for a moment, and asked spontaneously: "What is the purpose of the imperial court setting up a workplace?" Before Li Shi could accept the words, he continued to say: "The setting of the workplace is naturally to supply swords, weapons, armor, and equipment for guarding the city. The various means of custody set up by the court are also to achieve this goal more.

Although craftsmen are not well-versed in poetry and books, who can compare with them when it comes to military equipment manufacturing and familiarity with the things inside the workplace? Therefore, the Weishi appointed him to choose the staff, and the elected person must be a respected person in the workplace. The rest of the people will be convinced by him, and the experts will be responsible for their masters, which will cut off their intention of being cheated on. The Weishishi only needs to set the monthly production quantity and have these elected officials organize the production matters. In this way, the Weishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishi

Seeing Li Shi heard this, although he looked surprised, he could not help but nodded. Cui Po was very excited and said: "As for the removal of the supervision soldiers, the increase of salary and the establishment of craftsmen's ranks, it is just to enhance the morale of the craftsmen. The craftsmen made military weapons in the workplace, just like soldiers going to fight to kill the enemy. Morale is a crucial factor. If the morale is strong, even if it is weak, it can defeat the strong. Even if the morale is low, even if it is a million troops, they are just a native chicken and a tile, and they will be defeated at once. The Wei Mean will withdraw the supervision soldiers from the workplace to the workplace.

Outside the field, although it is separated by a wall, it is enough to make them feel very different; increasing their salary is just to make them work harder. As for determining the level of craftsmen, we must use this to inspire you to compete for victory and be more attentive to official business." At this point, Li Shi suddenly asked: "If Cui Qing's strategy is adopted, how much expenses will the court increase every month? Besides, what will happen if the quality of military equipment declines under unsupervised?" The emperor, who was always suffering from shortage of money, asked the first question of the money and food.

Upon hearing this, Cui Po smiled slightly and said confidently: "This salary increase strategy is to pay according to the piecework. If they create more money every month, the salary will naturally be high. If they create less, the salary will naturally be low. Speaking of which, the money allocated by the court will not change every month, but it is just to make up for the difference. As for the verification of military weapons, I chose some people who must be skilled in the workplace craftsmen to do this matter, and first pass them to the warehouse. Every month, I will go and check it in person. If you find something that is not up to standard, I will deduct all the monthly salary and money of the inspection person. In this way, how dare you not take care of it? Moreover, every military weapon is now engraved with charges by craftsmen. Even if you can escape for a while, you will be discovered in the future. Where dare these craftsmen to slack off?"

The more Li Shi heard Cui Po’s words, he became more and more shocked. He was first advised to place miscellaneous knowledge such as arithmetics on the poetry and essays, which shocked him. Later, his changes in his work-based supervision methods were even more incredible, completely subverting the rule of the country that His Majesty had long accepted. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although the successive monarchs have different political methods, their foundations have been completely consistent. They all take "nature good theory" as their origin and benevolence as their basis.

It is emphasized that the superiors should treat their subordinates with sincerity and benevolence with virtue, and pay attention to "punishment should not be used lightly". They always wait for the incident to happen and then take the method of making up for punishment. All the measures like Cui Po were caused by the ugly aspects of the human heart. He actually regarded the craftsmen as evil people, and first set up various ways to plug loopholes before talking about other things. The huge contrast between the two ruling concepts only made the emperor, who had just ascended the throne, feel at a loss.

"Okay! The first family in the world, known as the "Confucian school of thought" has cultivated a Legal figure who believes in the "nature evil theory", but I don't know what Cui Zhongshu will look like after hearing this!" After a long silence and his thoughts gradually calmed down, Li Shi looked at the boy in front of him who was highly expected by him, and thought with a teasing intention.

Because Cui Po said too rebelliously, Li Shi, who was indecisive in his heart, did not dare to make a judgment lightly. After slowly drinking the last cup of tea, he chuckled softly and said, "Cui Qing's thoughts are soaring. I am very happy that I can express my own ideas on official matters. Today is over, let's go!" After saying that, he turned around and left the pavilion without waiting for Cui Po to give him a gift. The leisurely autumn wind rolled up the corners of his silk shirt, and it felt a little elegance.

Cui Po, who was depressed by Li Shi's "Tai Chi", stood up after getting up. After being stunned in the pavilion for a while, he left the palace and returned home. He could not get the emperor's true attitude towards the imperial examination, and he was inevitably a little angry and depressed.

In the following days, Cui Po had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being and began to rectify the work. He relocated all the workplaces that were not made by military equipment, but moved all the workplaces distributed elsewhere, including the arcades, Peng Pai and others, and even requisitioned the nearby Hepingfang Banfang, to expand and make the entire Beijing-based military equipment manufacturing Biju, and then merged all the workplaces that could be merged according to the requirements of the materials and processes. The craftsmen were also split and combined into different teams according to different grades, and reorganized them by the military organization method, and general equipment manufacturing.

It is divided into different processes. Each team specializes in one thing. After the combination of teams and teams, the finished utensils finally produce finished utensils. In the puzzled eyes of the craftsmen, the output of military weapons in the first month was only the same as before. However, by the second month, the craftsmen who were already very familiar with the things they were doing had greatly improved their effectiveness. In just a few days, the total amount of military weapons was equal to the last month, and there were very few defective products. At this point, the craftsmen who had understood the whole story were admired by Lord Yuanwailang, who had brought too many changes to them, lamenting that Lord Cui was worthy of being the star Wenqu, and indeed had the idea of ​​being a brilliant person.

… … ……………………………………

On this day, Wang Hua, a first-class craftsman who was inspecting the crossbow field and supervising and guiding everyone to work, suddenly got a small official to send a message to him and asked him to go to the official room of Lord Yuanwailang. This message made the energetic man nervous recently. He kept recalling any omissions in the past two months, causing the busy adult to summon him alone.

"Are you Wang Hua?" Cui Po, who was sitting in the newly built office room of Guiyifang, looked at the man who was just over 40, who was standing in the room in surprise. With his experience in the workshop for several months, he really couldn't believe that the man who was restrained and rubbing his hands in front of him was the one with the best skills in the crossbow field with more than 10,000 people. The other top-class craftsmen in the workshop were not white in their hair and wrinkles?
