There are so many workshops for the manufacture of weapons that are under the management of the three divisions, and there are thousands of craftsmen and officials. It is impossible for Li Buqi to take charge of such a large department alone, and it is easy for people to put on the hat of "appointing private individuals" because he brings people to the rules and regulations, and it takes a long time for the newly transferred people to be familiar with the business, and it is easy for people with intentions to take advantage of loopholes, so if Li Buqi wants to take over the case as soon as possible, the best way is to subdue the original officials of the case, and as for those who are disobedient and unusable, they must purge a group.

Moving personnel in any unit is a big deal, and it all needs opportunities, of course Li Buqi can't wait for the opportunity to appear on his own, he can't afford this time. Therefore, the exam is a good way to create this kind of opportunity, with the test paper in hand, it cannot be denied in black and white, and there is a reason to clean the results if the results are not good, and there are reasons to promote if the results are good. Of course, if the grades are not good, but you can also avoid death or even prevent promotion, just like "quality education", saying that you can do it for many reasons, it depends on who has the right to judge.

Although Zhang Yaozuo recommended Li Buqi, he was actually very unsure, for fear that this immortal who did not take the usual path would come up with something to make himself steal chickens and rice, so when he learned that Li Buqi came to take office today, he arranged for someone to keep an eye on him, so that he could report himself immediately as soon as there was any trouble. When he heard that Li Buqi was taking the exam without saying a word, he was taken aback at first, but immediately vaguely guessed Li Buqi's intentions. This is Yang Mou, a thousand-year-old fox like this can see through it at a glance.

But being able to see through it doesn't mean he can figure it out. Zhang Yaozuo couldn't help but give twelve likes to Li Buqi's wrist in his heart, and the heart that he had been carrying it a lot also let go - this shows that Li Buqi at least won't make trouble.

Now he was curious about what Li Buqi would take the exam, and seeing that there were not many things at hand, he came out of his official room, made a look of patrolling everywhere, and walked around and walked outside the courtyard where the case was located, and saw that Wang Gongchen was already outside the door.

I saw dozens of tables and desks in the courtyard, and a group of officials and clerks were working hard to write books, and a group of officials and clerks outside the door were sticking their heads out to look at the situation inside, while Li Buqi was sitting behind the bookcase and holding a scroll to read, and from time to time he swept the situation below with the corner of his eye.

Zhang Yaozuo saw that Wang Gongchen was talking in a low voice with a few principals, so he walked over. Wang Gongchen's face was not very good, and when he saw Zhang Yaozuo coming, he took a step back and gave up a position. An old principal who was muttering to Wang Gongchen had just found the backbone of the main body from Wang Gongchen, and immediately understood what Wang Gongchen meant, and immediately turned to Zhang Yaozuo to complain: "Deputy envoy, this new Judge Li doesn't know what to think, and even asked me to wait for the exam with the little official." Isn't it insulting for Judge Li to ask us to answer such trivial matters as the amount of labor used in the canal, how much copper and iron is used for a pair of crossbows, and how much iron and wood are used in various places. ”

If it was before, in order to maintain the dignity of Jinshi, Zhang Yaozuo must have casually said "Yes, it's really inappropriate", but Li Buqi was recommended by him, and this director wanted to slap him in the face with Wang Gongchen's support, so he just smiled and listened. After the old master finished complaining, he said quietly: "Your Majesty has high hopes for Judge Li this time, and has repeatedly told Judge Li that he should be thoughtful about what to do. Let's ask him in a moment. ”

When he said this, he lifted the emperor out as a shield, and the old master had to shut up. At this time, the people in the main hall also finished the exam, Li Buqi personally collected the papers, Wang Gongchen took the lead and walked in, the old director and several directors from the imperial examination hurriedly followed behind him, and several directors from Enyin looked at each other and followed behind. Li Buqi saw Wang Gongchen walk in and hurriedly stepped forward: "Ah, Ji Xiang is here, forgive the official for not seeing it just now." ”

Wang Gongchen said expressionlessly: "Judge Li's appointment is really special, but I don't know what to do in the school?" ”

Li Buqi said: "When the subordinate takes over the case, he naturally wants to see if his subordinates are competent for their duties and whether they have talents that can be reused, so in order to find out the bottom of it, they will test whether they know everything they need to know about their duties." ”

Wang Gongchen said: "I don't know what the result is? ”

Li Buqi shook his head and said very sadly: "The lower officials think that the officials in the case are basically competent, but many officials are not competent. ”

Li Buqi said: "Officials basically can't answer practical questions, but the case is practiced, how can this work?" ”

Wang Gongchen asked: "I don't know what kind of practice is being tested?" ”

Li Buqi casually pulled out a scroll and showed it to Wang Gongchen. Wang Gongchen glanced at it cursoryly, then frowned and said: "Like a set of armor, how to pass the bow and arrow are too trivial, and it is good to use them to test the school officials, but if the officials also need to know these trivial things, then what do the officials do?" It's enough to use these things to test school officials, and not all officials are as distracted by these trivial affairs as Judge Li. ”

The old chief who followed closely behind Wang Gongchen hurriedly helped: "Yes, yes." It seems that we are from Jinshi background, how can we entangle these mundane things all day long, or the details, isn't it insulting? ”

Wang Gongchen stabbed Li Buqi, Li Buqi was not annoyed, but just smiled and said: "Xia Guan thinks that Ji Xiang's words are wrong." According to the meaning of the plan, the officials can not know about these things, so what the officials say is what they say, right? The lower officials once heard that when the prime minister was appointed as the imperial history, he once reprimanded the officials for corruption, saying, "Rao is an official who is as clear as water, how can he be as slippery as oil." It can be seen that Ji Xiang is not at ease with the officials, in this case, how can Ji Xiang dare to hand over all the things to the officials, but he has not counted them in his heart? ”

Li Buqi used Wang Gongchen's own words to block Wang Gongchen, and Wang Gongchen was speechless for a while. Li Buqi turned around and took a stack of test papers from the bookcase, pointed to the question at the end and said: "Judging from the calculations, at present, the officials of my case not only have no concept of subtle things, but even the various rules and systems of the workshop cannot be explained. ”

Li Buqi looked at the old master and asked unceremoniously, "You are Zeng Min, right?" Others can finally write a name and source of the system in the workshop, but you can't write any of them, what do you rely on to deal with affairs as an official on weekdays? ”

The old master glared at Li Buqi in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Those systems are also in the early years of Emperor Zhenzong at the latest, and so many years have passed......

Li Buqi snorted: "Can you not respect the decrees of Taizu and Taizong as a magistrate county!" Based on your words, it can be seen that you are a fool. Since you don't understand the system, how dare you hand over this important matter involving the production of weapons to you? You will be suspended from your duties today. ”

"Huh? How can you ......" The old master didn't expect Li Buqi to be so sharp, and hurriedly turned his gaze to Wang Gongchen for help.

Li Buqi also turned to Wang Gongchen: "I don't know if the prime minister thinks the disposal of the lower officials is appropriate?" ”

Wang Gongchen really didn't understand the iron striking and manufacturing aspects of the case, so he usually asked about the situation of the case, and he didn't know that the workshop was actually a pot of porridge, and the work was all operated by a group of public officials and officials patted on the head, so he didn't expect this old master to be so unbearable.

In this case, he can't say anything, after all, let Li Buqi take a strong handle, if Li Buqi first took office, because of this matter, the emperor will have an opinion about himself. So he had to push the boat down the river: "Since the case is in your hands, you naturally have the responsibility of managing your subordinates." For incompetent people, you should dispose, and you should dispose of it. ”

Li Buqi bowed and said, "Xie Ji believes in Ren." ”

The officials either sympathized or gloated their eyes on the old master of the six gods and no master, and they all knew that Li Buqi's trick to kill chickens and monkeys was done.

Wang Gongchen just went out from the courtyard of the case, and his face couldn't help but pull down. Li Buqi immediately disposed of the old boss in front of him, and finally asked him to endorse the behavior made him feel that his dignity was greatly challenged. Some people take face very seriously, and those who have been the chief in the imperial history value face even more, so anyone who makes Wang Jixiang ugly will eventually pay the price.
