In the study, Wang Can's gaze swept over Mo Yan, Pu Yuan, and Ma Jun, and finally took it back.

After a few years, Ma Jun and Pu Yuan have reached middle age, because they have been forging weapons by the stove all year round, and they are older than people of the same age. As for the old man Mo Yan, he was already full of silver hair, his eyes were no longer clear, and the folds on his face were like the bark of a century-old tree, pitted and full of ravines.

With the increase of Wang Can's strength, the usefulness of the craftsman's workshop has also increased.

Mo Yan said slowly: "My lord, Yizhou has been subjected to a series of major battles, and the cost of forging Han swords is also very high, and the iron and stone reserves in the treasury are not much, if they are used according to the current consumption, I am afraid they will not be able to support it for a year." ”

Wang Can raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you find a new iron stone?" ”

Mo Yan wanted to speak, but seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Pu Yuan said: "My lord, because it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to find iron ore, some of the craftsmen are apprentices and have enough personnel, but the material resources required are not enough to send a large number of people to explore iron and stone. ”

Wang Can suddenly smiled, Pu Yuan is quite interesting.

The craftsman's workshop is short of money but says that it is not enough material resources, which is a little interesting.

Wang Can said directly: "Don't worry about money, I will ask Cheng Yu to give you enough funds, so that you can find iron ore with peace of mind and forge more sophisticated weapons." Although the people in the craftsman's workshop did not go to the battlefield to fight, they were the heroes behind the scenes, and without you forging sophisticated weapons, the loss of the soldiers would be even greater, so you are the top priority, and you cannot be ignored. ”

When Mo Yan heard this, he was immediately moved.

The giants of the three craftsman's workshops are all related to each other and bow their hands to Wang Can.

Mo Yan wiped his slightly moist eyes and said, "I don't know what the Lord invited us to do?" ”

Wang Can said: "There is indeed something to order, Yizhou has repelled the allied forces of the princes, there will be no major war for the time being, and the demand for weapons has also decreased accordingly." In a short period of time, there will be no major war in Yizhou, and I hope you can change the focus of the craftsman's workshop and no longer focus on forging weapons. ”

Ma Jun asked: "Lord, if we don't forge weapons, what will we forge?" ”

Mo Yan and Pu Yuan also looked at Wang Can, waiting for Wang Can to speak.

Wang Canxiao said: "The craftsman workshop will definitely not be just forging weapons in the future, at present, Yizhou should vigorously develop production, and the focus of work will be shifted to forging agricultural tools, creating more agricultural tools, and promoting the development of agriculture." However, it is not that weapons are not forged, but that the proportion of forged weapons is less, and forged agricultural tools are the mainstay. ”

Ma Jun continued: "My lord, there are enough people in the craftsman's workshop, but most of them are forging weapons and are not used to forging farm tools. It would be difficult to suddenly switch to forging farm tools. ”

Wang Can said in a deep voice: "If there are difficulties to overcome, do your best and do it with your heart." ”

"No!"

Ma Jun nodded and agreed.

Wang Can continued: "The specific things have been told to you, and you must implement them well. If there are not enough people who are proficient in forging agricultural tools, they can find them again, and they must let the people get benefits, which is one of the purposes of establishing a craftsman's workshop. ”

After a pause, Wang Can said again: "The three of you are in charge of the craftsman's workshop, and I will reveal a little more news to you." I think you also know the news that I am about to become king, and after I become king, the craftsman workshop will be reorganized into a department, and at that time it will be in charge of weapons, farm tools, water conservancy and other matters, so it is impossible to just forge weapons. ”

After hearing this, the three of them hurriedly bowed and said: "The humble duty will definitely complete the task and live up to the high expectations of the lord." ”

Wang Can waved his hand and let the three of them retreat.

After the three of them left the study, Wang Can also got up and left, and went to the courtyard where Cai Yong lived.

When Wang Can entered the courtyard, Wang Zhen, Wang You and Wang Xin were studying with Cai Yong. The three of them were very happy when they saw Wang Can coming, especially Wang Xin was even more clingy, and rushed directly to Wang Can. Wang Can has been with Wang Zhen and Wang You for a long time during this time, and he has become closer and has no strangeness.

Amused with the three children, Wang Can laughed heartily and was in a happy mood.

He played for a while, and then asked the attendant to take the three of them away.

Cai Yong waved his hand and took Wang Can to the study. The two guests sat down, and Cai Yong asked, "First, you came to find a teacher, but what is the matter?" ”

Wang Can nodded and said, "Teacher, the matter of the disciple claiming the king has been almost prepared. Now wait for Cheng Yu to preside over the completion of the construction of the palace, and you can prepare to be the king. However, after becoming king, the civil and military officials under the command of the disciples will change to a certain extent. The teacher is erudite and talented, and he is a great Confucian in the sea, and the disciple wants to ask the teacher to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Cai Yong asked, "What is the Book of Rites?" ”

Wang Can scratched his head and said the six parts of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The six departments are the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Crime.

The origin of the six parts was in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it was not far from the Three Kingdoms where Wang Can was located. Because they are also from all over the world, Wang Can thought of using the six parts. Compared with the military reform that he once planned but failed, the six ministries are naturally more in line with the actual situation, because the six ministries are the products of the feudal era.

Wang Can roughly stated the six parts, and roughly said the content of each part.

After Cai Yong heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.

In fact, the six parts in Wang Can's mouth are differentiated from the three princes and nine qing. In the past, the specific matters of the six departments were mastered by Jiuqing, but now through the clarification of the six departments, the specific things have been detailed. Cai Yong is proficient in historical books and knows the system of the imperial court well, so it is easy to understand the context of the six parts.

After pondering for a long time, Cai Yong asked, "First, have you thought about the Shangshu of the six parts?" ”

Wang Can nodded and said: "The disciple has already thought about it, the teacher will serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Mo Yan will serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Xun You will serve as the secretary of the Ministry of War, Cheng Yu will serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Tian Feng will serve as the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Li Ru will serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Households." ”

After hearing this, Cai Yong's brows furrowed.

Wang Can asked, "Teacher, is there anything wrong?" ”

Cai Yong said in a deep voice: "When you arrange officials, you must consider the balance of forces and interests of all parties, you are based on Yizhou, but the Shangshu of the Sixth Department does not have officials from Yizhou itself, which is very inappropriate." The teacher suggested that you use Ren An as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as long as the local people in Yizhou have a place, you can balance the rights of all parties. ”

Ren An is a well-known entry in Yizhou and a local leader in Yizhou.

After Wang Can heard this, he wanted to speak.

Cai Yong stretched out his hand to stop Wang Can and continued: "The teacher is writing the history of the Han Dynasty, and he doesn't have enough time to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and besides, people are old and don't have the energy to deal with all kinds of things, so the affairs of the Ministry of Rites can be handed over to Ren An." ”

After a pause, Cai Yong said again: "Regarding Mo Yan's appointment as the Ministry of Works, the old man Mo knows about this person. He is proficient in forging, but he is not good at being an official, and he cannot serve as the head of a department. First of all, Shangshu does not need to be proficient in all things, but can only control the overall situation. You have to think carefully about the candidates for the Ministry of Works. ”

After Wang Can heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, I heard Cai Yong say: "As for the candidates of other ministries, you can handle it at your own discretion." But we must keep in mind that a book of books does not have to be proficient in everything, not everything has to be dealt with, what is needed is to be able to control the overall situation and share your worries. Such a person is the Shangshu you need. ”

"Thank you, teacher, the disciple will pay attention!"

Wang Can listened to Cai Yong's words, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Cai Yong's words undoubtedly made Wang Can more aware of the importance of appointing officials, and he also had more thoughtful thoughts in his heart.

As the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, it is really good!
