Comparatively speaking, Li Qi attaches more importance to the pro-army disciples he has cultivated, and these people worship him quite a lot after seeing all kinds of miracles, which causes the loyalty of this group to be extremely high.

The development of the local area under his rule is extremely rapid, but the development around Taiyuan Prefecture, which started at the earliest, has encountered a bottleneck. Due to the fact that the power system is mainly derived from hydraulic power, the workshop can only be built on the edge of the canal, and without these dams and ponds, it is impossible to develop such an advanced mechanical workshop.

Everything needs to be accumulated, and the workshops around Taiyuan Mansion can only make progress in the direction of refinement, and in comparison, the speed of development has slowed down.

The progress of human science and technology requires a certain amount of accumulation to achieve, and before the iron and steel industry reaches a certain scale, Li Qi is not sparing no effort to make a steam engine, which may not be able to be popularized. Cost is a big issue, and in many cases, the use of machinery is not necessarily more cost-effective than manual production.

In general, Chinese society has always been a one-man country, and if you want to promote social development and progress, you must ultimately rely on your officials at all levels to implement it. In the past five years, the development of Jindi, including Shanbei and Beidi grasslands, has been too fast, and there has been a lack of enough skilled talents to promote local development.

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, is a bit exaggerated, but there is no more than ten years, if you want to fundamentally change the talent structure of the whole society, don't think about it. Fortunately, the official assessment implemented in Jinyang included arithmetic, gewu, agriculture and animal husbandry, and water conservancy as compulsory subjects, and this policy promoted scholars in Hedong, Guanzhong, and Hebei, and now they had to begin to delve into these studies, which were originally despised by Confucianism.

That's a good start.

The knowledge of things, pills, agriculture and livestock, the knowledge in this is really to be studied, compared with the illusory Confucian theory of governance, it is much more interesting, after all, many things can be applied immediately, which can increase their own income.

Human beings are interest animals, and they are driven by interests, so naturally many people will rush to this.

The two brothers, Li Jiyu and Li Jiyao, were also thrown into Jinyang Academy by Li Qi, and strictly ordered the two not to publicize, so in Jinyang Academy and the young army, except for a very small number of noble children, most of the students did not know that these two "noble children" who ate and lived with them and had no special treatment were the brothers of today's son.

After Li Qi ascended the throne, he did not canonize these two brothers as kings as usual, and clearly stated that only when the two of them became adults and had merit could they be crowned kings.

The emperor is a terrifying creature who decides the fate of many people in a single word. Li Qi believed that those who had betrayed Zhuangzong should be punished, even if they had surrendered.

For example, generals such as Wang Yanqiu, Gao Xingzhou, and Zhu Hongzhao are now undergoing "labor reform" in the workshops of the royal estate. Wang Yanqiu is now a good carpenter, Zhu Hongzhao is a leatherman, and Gao Xingzhou is trained to be a blacksmith.

Gao Xingzhou held an iron hammer with one hand, constantly striking the dark red steel plate, correcting the curvature of the shin guard. This guy has a lot of strength, and every time he hammers down, he will pick up a puff of iron flowers.

Plate armor is forged in a large area, and it also needs to be carefully forged and corrected by hand after cutting, so as to get a suitable arc, especially the arm guards and leg guards.

"The use of power should be moderate, if you are so resentful, and sprinkle the resentment in your heart on this steel plate, you are not a qualified blacksmith." Li Qi, who was inspecting the iron mill, watched him strike iron from the side, and said a leisurely word.

Gao Xingzhou glanced at Li Qi and adjusted his breathing, but he didn't have the original kind of "Your Majesty wants to kill and chop, why humiliate Gao", but the hammer under his hand is also light and heavy, and there is a sense of rhythm.

"When this plate armor is finished, I will give it to you, and you will be free." Li Qi said lightly.

It seems that striking iron can wear down people's patience, and if you punish those generals in the future, let them do this work.

Gao Xingzhou put down the work in his hand and said to Li Qi: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but Dai Gao is not a thin prisoner, and I can't go against him." ”

"Could it be that King Jin treats your family thinly, otherwise Ru'an can live until now?!" Li Qi said angrily, this is a bit strong, it seems that Li Keyong, the king of Jin, killed Gao Siji and his brothers with a white horse and silver spear because he was afraid that the Gao family would be powerful in Yanzhou.

If it weren't for the influence of "Yang Jiajiang", Li Qi would have endured his anger and threw Gao Huaide and Gao Huailiang's father into the blacksmith shop for "transformation". It seems that he has locked Gao Xingzhou in Jinyang for two years, delaying the time for this guy to make Gao Huailiang.

It's just that romance novels can't be taken seriously, the so-called Yang family's ancestor Yang Ye, his grandfather Yang Zhaoyuan and father Yang Hongxin are from the standard Shatuo clan, and there is no volcano king Yang Gon in this world......

The world has changed so much that the so-called famous generals in the future may not become famous generals, or they may become murderers.

"You don't have to go against Li Siyuan, now that there is a shortage of manpower in the north, you go to Jiuyuan City to help me defend the border land for a few years." Li Qi said, "In a few years, you can go wherever you want, and I won't stop you from going to Li Siyuan." ”

Gao Xingzhou arched his hand when he heard this: "Okay, listen to Your Majesty's arrangement." ”

After getting Gao Xingzhou, Li Qi released Zhu Hongzhao again and ordered him to serve as Tuntian Lieutenant in Daizhou. Only Wang Yanqiu's arrangement is a headache, and the An family knows that he killed An Xiantong, and has been thinking about how to kill this thing.

Li Qi has been trying to avoid bringing personal likes and dislikes into the handling of official business, which in fact is simply not possible. When he wants to use people, the candidates that pop up in his mind are first of all people he is familiar with and close to. There is nothing wrong with credit closeness, but it blocks the channel for further promotion of many talented people.

As a qualified monarch, I should try to use the best talents in the world for my use, the problem is that talented people are not necessarily reliable. Smart people have a lot of personal ideas, and in some places it is more appropriate to appoint some stupid cronies than talented people.

Especially in this world when it is still in a state of fragmentation, loyalty and reliability are more valued than talent.

Those who are talented have too many targets to choose from, and those who are stupid may not mix well if they leave themselves.

Unfortunately, the stupidity of many stupid people is that they have no self-knowledge at all, and they never recognize this.

They are able to mix up the wind and call for the wind and rain, relying entirely on the trust of the monarch and the power given to them, and once they lose their credit, they basically achieve nothing.

For example, the current An Chongxue, after gradually losing Li Siyuan's trust, is not far from death......
