At this time, there was a tense atmosphere in Yanjing City, and sadness was mixed with tragedy.

The sad thing is that the big cadres at this time are in the midst of national mourning, and the tragic thing is that they rushed to Shanhaiguan with the rolling iron flow, and I don't know how many Yandi men can return to their hometown completely.

The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years. Just don't know how long this war will last?

Three days went by in a flash.

During these three days, the messengers of the imperial court rushed to the north and south of the Great River, inside and outside the Yellow River, and almost all the Great Cadres knew that the war between the Great Cadres and the Mongols had broken out again!

The border guards quickly entered a state of war, wearing armor and swords, patrolling the key areas day and night, all the border areas entered a state of military alert, and even all the border residents spontaneously armed!

And in the land of Hebei, the garrison was quickly assembled, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they were ready to assemble in Yanjing City, and the magistrates in Hebei also quickly entered the state, the city entered a state of martial law, the militia was quickly armed, the warehouse in Hebei was opened quickly, the materials were quickly loaded, and on the road to Yanjing, it was crowded by various carriages, and the people and soldiers were in an endless stream, and Hebei entered a state of war in an all-round way.

In the land of Shandong, the garrison was assembled, the militia was armed, the entire land of Shandong entered a state of military control, and the materials were quickly gathered along the canal, quickly loaded on ships, and transported to Yanjing!

The south of the Yangtze River, because of the relationship of time, was known a little later, but the garrisons in various places were still quickly assembled, bombed the localities, to prevent the occurrence of civil uprisings and other accidents, the major material warehouses were quickly opened, the people were recruited, the ships were requisitioned, the materials were quickly loaded, and they were transported to Yanjing along the canal, and later official statistics showed that the ten large warehouses built by the imperial court in the entire south of the Yangtze River were full of materials and were transported to Yanjing within a month.

This is a military warehouse set up in the Taizu period to recover Dali, enough for 500,000 well-equipped troops for a year's worth of military supplies.

This shows the development of Jiangnan shipping!

Moreover, at the end of the third year of the establishment of the military, the court filled the ten major warehouses that had been hollowed out with military supplies, and the entire Jiangnan ground did not feel anything, which shows the wealth of Jiangnan at this time.

At this time, almost the whole country has entered a state of war, the army is fighting bravely, the people are silently supporting, and the government and the opposition are mobilizing the whole country.

Of course, Zheng Wen didn't know it at this time, and no one knew about it, this was the feeling of people in later generations who read history.

At this time, Zheng Wen was still very busy.

What is he up to?

At this time, he was inspecting the Ministry of Industry.

He was very dissatisfied with the fact that the weapons produced by the Ordnance Superintendent, a subordinate organ of the Ministry of Industry, were sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he decided to come to the Ministry of Industry to inspect and see with his own eyes the specific situation of the Ordnance Superintendent.

Zheng Wen inspected the entire Ministry of Industry accompanied by Sun Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zheng Wen found that there were more administrative bureaucrats than technocrats in the Ministry of Industry, and some of the craftsmen registered in the Ministry of Industry had not changed for decades, Zheng Wen even found that there was a craftsman's name that had been registered for hundreds of years, which made Zheng Wen feel a little incredible, this person had lived for hundreds of years, and had never heard of it, which was of course impossible!

It can be seen from this that the efficiency of the Ministry of Industry is no longer as effective as it was at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Moreover, Zheng Wen found in the ordnance supervisor that the status of many craftsmen was still very low, and they could barely mix one for food and clothing.

When Zheng Wen saw these situations, he was angry and angry, angry that the efficiency of the Ministry of Industry was so low, and that he was angry at the incompetence of the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

But Zheng Wen's face still did not change at all, and his face was expressionless.

Zheng Wen knows the way of employing people as a superior, as a superior, he can't compete with your subordinates in the field he is familiar with, so it is easy to stimulate his competitive spirit, and even force him to the opposite side of you, so that he constantly studies to refute you, which is time-consuming and laborious, which is more than worth the loss.

So how do you do that?

You should tell him your requirements directly, how much you want him to do this thing before you are satisfied, so as to better stimulate his inner desire to do things, and as a talented person, you as a superior, you must provide him with a stage for him to display his talents, so that he can be used by you!

And what Zheng Wen wants to do now is exactly that.

So, in the lobby of the Ministry of Industry, he said directly to Sun Hua: "Sun Aiqing, I have checked your resume, you have worked step by step from a local minor official to a central hall official, I know that there are problems in the entire cadre from the local to the center, and you must be very clear." ”

After a pause, Zheng Wen continued to speak: "I won't tell you about these problems today, but I will tell you about the problems existing in the Ministry of Industry. ”

"I think that the Ministry of Industry is a technology-oriented department, but today I found that there are more administrative officials than technical officials in the entire Ministry of Industry, which is obviously unreasonable."

"And I found that the Ministry of Industry is inefficient, obviously inferior to the Ministry of Industry during the Taizu period, and the entire Ministry of Industry is lifeless, and I am angry in my heart."

"Moreover, I found that the situation of the ordnance supervisor is even more serious, the situation of the craftsmen is blurred, the craftsmen are inefficient, the craftsmen's life is difficult to sustain, the weapons made by the Ministry of Industry are sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the warriors who are fighting bloodily in front of them are speeding up their death by fighting with these weapons, and I can't stand them!"

"And, by what did you take over the world? After reading the "Taizu Record", I understood that it was not so much the wisdom and martial arts of Emperor Taizu as the Emperor Taizu's emphasis on technology. ”

"But if you look at the current Ministry of Industry, more than three hundred years have passed, and most of the technology is still the technology of the Taizu period, and the manufacturing of military weapons is uneven, I am ashamed of the Taizu Emperor! Those of us today are ashamed of our founding fathers! ”

Zheng Wen's words were so that Kong Hua, the old minister, was full of irritability, and the old man in his sixties was so ashamed that he wished there was a crack in the ground, and he got into it himself.

He also wanted to defend himself, but the Ministry of Industry did have these problems, and as the chief officer of the Ministry of Industry, he had an unshirkable responsibility, so he stopped talking and did not say a word.

When Zheng Wen saw it, he was still very proud in his heart, he was only an eighteen-year-old young man, and he said that this sixty-eight-year-old man was speechless, and his heart was full of pride, but he couldn't get by.

With an expressionless face, he said again: "I know that these problems have existed for a long time, and it is not your fault alone, and all the previous officials of the Ministry of Industry have made more or less mistakes. ”

Sun Hua listened, but the expression on his face looked better.

"I don't care about these problems. But from now on, I require that the proportion of technical officials in the Ministry of Industry must reach two-thirds of the total number of officials in the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry must be a technical department. ”

"Moreover, the resumes of these technical officials must be summarized and compiled into a book, so that it can be easily called by the court."

"Moreover, the situation of the ordnance supervision must be rectified, and its supervisors must be from master craftsmen, and from now on, the ordnance produced by the Ministry of Industry must be of high quality, and the Ministry of Industry must formulate strict quality standards and a relevant system of rewards and punishments."

"In addition, the Ministry of Industry wants to reform the craftsman system, and my requirements for it are: first, the status of craftsmen should be improved, second, the status of craftsmen should be graded, and the grades should be divided according to the skill level of craftsmen, and third, the income of craftsmen should be ensured, and craftsmen with outstanding skills can be considered for official positions."

"Well, I've thought about it so much for the time being, how about it, Sun Aiqing."

Zheng Wen looked at Sun Hua, who was a little old, and said again: "Sun Aiqing, I see that you are also old, I am afraid that you will retire in a few years, this is a long-term and long job, it is better to change to some young and strong people to do it, how about it?" ”

This is Zheng Wen stirring up his grandson!

When Sun Hua heard this, he was immediately anxious, and said: "Although the minister is old, he has not yet reached the age of uselessness, and the old minister assured His Majesty that the minister can do a good job of His Majesty's instructions, but in terms of financial affairs, the minister hopes that His Majesty can allocate enough on time and in accordance with the amount." ”

Zheng Wen listened, smiled, nodded, and said with a smile: "What Sun Qing said is very true, I agreed, then I will entrust the Ministry of Industry to Sun Qing, don't lose hope, then I will leave, no need to send it!" ”

Sun Hua said excitedly: "The old minister only obeys His Majesty's orders!" So he made a big gift to Zheng Wen and sent Zheng Wen away.

Sun Hua watched the lame new emperor limp out of the hall step by step, but his heart was excited!

Zheng Wen provoked him with words just now, as an old bird in the political arena, he didn't know it, he knew it clearly, but he didn't have the idea of reforming the Ministry of Industry in his heart, and he also hoped that Daqian could be stronger!

He started from the middle jinshi, from a local petty official step by step to the ministry of the ministry of officials, he is very clear about the problems within the big cadres, he has also repeatedly asked the first emperor to change, but again and again the stone sank into the sea, he gradually tired, the heart is old and others are also old, slowly have to get by, and gradually in the position of the ministry of the ministry of the hall of the chaos of life.

But as a hero of this era, why doesn't he have a blueprint in his heart?

It's just that the ideal can't withstand the baptism of the years after all, and gradually he buried his ideal in the deepest part of his heart, but who can know his sadness?

But since the new emperor ascended the throne, his heart has gradually come alive, and he has felt the eloquence of the new emperor and the ambition of the new emperor from the speech on the new palace city!

His heart was stirred at that time, and although he was old, his heart was growing younger.

Your Majesty! After listening to your ambition and seeing your heroic strategy, the old minister has no regrets even though he died! Although the old minister is old, he can still be loyal to you for another two years, so let the old minister's stump clear some thorns on the road for you! The old minister hereby prays that everyone is like a dragon, and the great cadre is like the rising sun!

Sun Hua stood in the hall of the Ministry of Industry, his face was full of red light, and his voice was loud: "Come on, convene the chief officials of the various departments of the Ministry of Industry, there is something to tell from the Ministry of Industry!" ”

The little official obeyed the order, today's Lord Sun is a little different, how did he look young all of a sudden, but he is so old again, it's really a strange thing, the little official hurriedly put aside the contradictory thoughts in his mind, and hurriedly walked out of the hall!
