His Majesty Li Er's face was gentle, and he listened attentively, but there was no joy or anger in his expression.

Yuwen Jianwu chattered to himself: "Your Majesty, the Shaofu Supervisor and the Ordnance Supervisor are responsible for the manufacture and maintenance of all weapons and armor in the empire, which is really the top priority of the dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is related to the survival of the empire. However, now that Fang Jun is so troubled, all the craftsmen under our command are all moved, they are obedient and subject to the jurisdiction, and every ordnance task can be completed on time, but where are there still people who stay in the Shaofu Supervisor and the Ordnance Supervisor in peace? I'm afraid that I have wings in my heart, and I want to fly to the military department to eat and drink spicy food...... Your Majesty, the craftsman is a lowly person, although it is not as good as a slave, but in the end, it is not a plain people, if all of them are stirred up by Fang Jun to make people's hearts float, how will the task of this ordnance armor be completed in the future? ”

At first glance, there seems to be some truth to this.

In the past, all craftsmen were squeezed, and everyone treated them equally, even if life was difficult, they could only endure silently, because everyone was the same...... But now a Fang Jun suddenly popped up, what kind of "capable people work more, pay according to work" such a shout, the gap immediately appeared!

Why do we work more and less under your hands, and we can't even eat a full meal at the end of a year, but the same craftsman can work more and get more in the military department?

No one will do it!

However, there is a paradox here: why should others be like you if you squeeze the artisan to the death for profit?

His Majesty Li Er is not only not a faint monarch, but is much more shrewd than most emperors throughout the ages, and naturally sees the key clearly. Speaking from the heart, His Majesty Li Er also despises craftsmen very much, and he is not unaware of the oppression of craftsmen by the yamen such as the military weapons supervisor and the young government supervisor, but it has always been like this, and the craftsman is also in the face of oppression, so why should he have too much trouble?

But now it's different.

Since Fang Jun jumped out to uncover this veil, as the emperor, he had to choose between conformism and changing his ways, and the result of the mud was to destroy the existing stable situation and make the artisan group boil and float.

Even if he despises craftsmen, His Majesty Li Er knows that for a huge empire, the artisan group must not be chaotic......

In fact, how to choose is very simple, just look at the Fangjia Iron Works and Huating Town, which have been implemented in accordance with Fang Junzhi's "capable people work more and pay according to work" policy, you can conclude that Fangjia Iron Works has pressed the largest Changsunjia Iron Factory in Datang in just a few years, and has become the rising star of Datang Iron Industry......

And what about the ordnance supervisor and the young government supervisor?

controls more than eighty percent of the craftsmen in Datang, but the efficiency is getting lower and lower, and there are more and more defective products......

It is self-evident which is better and which is inferior.

His Majesty Li Er bowed slightly, and asked slowly: "Then dare to ask uncle, why do you teach me?" ”

Yu Wenjian was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to talk about it for a long time, but his heart suddenly jumped, and he looked at His Majesty Li Er, who raised his sword eyebrows, with a shocked face, and couldn't believe it......

What did the emperor just say?

How did you teach me......

Looking at the world, who can make the supreme in the world say the phrase "why teach me"?

Even Sun Simiao, Yuan Tiangang and other scholars in their respective fields who are unparalleled in the world do not dare to be emperors, let alone a young government supervisor who manages craftsmen in a mere way?!

It's not a good thing to hear......

Yu Wenjian was frightened, and hurriedly got up, slammed it to the ground, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty tortures the old minister, how can the old minister dare to teach Your Majesty?" ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled faintly, held the teacup in his hand, and said casually: "What did uncle say?" You are my father's playmate, my elder, and you have watched me grow up since childhood, and you have a deep affection. However, although Fang Jun is my son-in-law, his identity should be more of an official of the imperial court...... Therefore, as long as my uncle is right, I will naturally do everything. ”

Princess Changle, who was quietly pouring tea and water on the side, pursed the corners of her lips slightly, and almost laughed out loud...... It's so level!

Yuwen is a good man, and he has been up and down all his life in the Huan Sea, how can he not understand the meaning of His Majesty Li Er's words?

He is just an elder, and the emperor talks to him about human feelings; But Fang Jun is a minister, talking about government affairs...... How can Yu Wenjian not understand the meaning here?

An old face was red, Yu Wenjian knew that His Majesty was already angry, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for being reckless...... The old minister was a little unwell, and the young government supervisor was busy with official business, so he also asked His Majesty to allow the old minister to report his illness and recuperate in the house. It's just that the young eunuch is responsible for a lot of miscellaneous affairs, and if he has no master, he is afraid that he will be in a mess, so he implores His Majesty to choose another merit to lead the young eunuch, and the old minister is willing to abdicate and make way for the virtuous, and tell the old ......"

He kind of got it!

The emperor's love for Fang Jun's mallet is unparalleled, and he can turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye to the bad incidents of juxtaposing the imperial court yamen such as the young palace supervisor and the dog, so where is there any reason for the great humiliation he has suffered?

Rather than being ridiculed and ridiculed by hundreds of officials in the future, it is better to say goodbye to the old age as soon as possible, and continue to receive the emperor's incense, so that the descendants can benefit ......

However, as soon as he said this, he saw that His Majesty the Emperor in front of him had a suddenly gloomy face, and the essence in the tiger's eyes flickered, not angry and arrogant, and said in a deep voice: "Yuwen Supervisor, what do you mean?!" This matter is Fang Jun's fault, you shouldn't insult you with such a despicable banner, I have already asked you what you plan to do, aren't you still satisfied? On the contrary, you have many reasons to ask for Zhishi, could it be that you are resentful of me, thinking that I favor Fang Jun and reward and punish unfairly? ”

How could Yu Wenjian ever see His Majesty so angry? trembling with fright, when even "poof" knelt in front of His Majesty Li Er all his life......

He was too old to mix up with such an unpopular official position as a supervisor of the Shaofu Mansion, and he was shallow in his morality, and he was simply spineless, where did he dare to be tough with His Majesty Li Er?

"The old minister didn't dare to ...... The old minister's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen from the sun and the moon, how dare he have the slightest disrespect? Your Majesty, please calm your anger, just now it was all the old minister's nonsense, you should think that the old minister let out a fart, and the old minister took it back himself......"

Yu Wenjian looked panicked and fell to the ground to plead guilty.

His Majesty Li Er seems to be generous, but his heart is ruthless, these old people who have gone through the changes of Xuanwumen back then, which one doesn't know? Therefore, once His Majesty Li Er is angry, that is, Ma Zhoufangjun and other young courtiers dare to make a direct admonition, except for a strange Wei Zheng who "invites fame by life and death" among the older generation, who dares to touch the tiger whiskers of His Majesty Li Er?

His Majesty Li Er was furious, and everyone was terrified!

His Majesty Li Er snorted, his expression was indifferent, and he said slowly: "As for the matter of the word panel, I will apply for Fang Jun, take down his fame, and impose an appropriate punishment." But about the matter of craftsmen, it is better to take care of their own mess, the foundry bureau was established, the investment was huge, and Fang Jun was also under great pressure, so he had to get along and dig people down. As for the so-called 'capable people work more, pay according to work' and other measures, you don't agree with it, just do your own thing, why don't you allow Fang Jun to implement it? If Fang Jun's measures are unreasonable, he will naturally abandon them in a few days, but if the measures are appropriate, what reason is there to refute them? This matter is over, if my uncle is unwell, he still needs to go back to the house to recuperate, but to tell the old man, don't mention it in the future, you are a friend of your father, how can I be so ruthless? You can rest assured. ”

Although he was partial to Fang Junzhi's actions, the first thing he thought of as an emperor was not whether the decree was reasonable, but how to balance and stabilize the situation. The implementation of the decree must first be unimpeded in the world, otherwise no matter how good the decree is, it will not receive the desired effect.

All of this must be premised on stability, and the Emperor's crowning achievement was to maintain a balance between the forces as always.

It is precisely because he does not know how to balance that the forces of the DPRK and China parted ways, resulting in the smoke everywhere in the world and ruining the Great Sui Dynasty......

Balance is king!

Yu Wenjian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, although he was beaten by His Majesty, he was also promised, knowing that His Majesty would not target him, where would he dare to stay here again?

If you say too much, you will lose, in case that sentence makes Your Majesty angry again......

Yu Wenjian hurriedly said: "The old minister understands His Majesty's intentions, and he must be conscientious and diligent in official affairs, and live up to His Majesty's trust." The old minister retired ......"

"Well, go back to recuperate your body, the official duties of the young eunuch don't have to be rushed, the body is more important."

His Majesty Li Er's utility floated up, and he gently advised.

"......"

Yu Wenjian hurriedly responded, took two steps back, and then turned around and walked out of the hall.

All the way out of the Taiji Palace, Yu Wenjian wiped his forehead, and his hands were sweaty, but he was just scared into a cold sweat......

At this moment, there was no such panic, and the anger in his heart was gradually filled again, as long as he thought about the words that Fang Jun hung on the mouth of the military department, he had an urge to vomit out a mouthful of old blood......

It's infuriating!

The most hateful thing is that His Majesty is so partial to that mallet!

Yu Wenjian was not angry in his heart, and said in his heart that I don't dare to trouble Fang Jun again, can't I still ask others to go? The craftsman's benefit was not only swallowed by himself, but he was only a small part of the supervisor of the young mansion, but the big head was taken away by those family valves......

If Fang Jun is allowed to do this, even if the Ordnance Supervisor and the Young Mansion Supervisor remain tough on the craftsmen, it can be expected that the craftsmen will inevitably be passive and sabotage, and they can't all be killed, right?

If the craftsmen slack off, the profits of these people will inevitably decrease, and he will not believe that those family lords can still sit still......

Thinking of this, Yu Wenjian looked at the carriage at the door with a calm face, and ordered: "Go to the Song State Mansion!" ”
