Li Sixun respects Wu Yanzhi, this martial arts prince is too different, and he seems to be closer than the Li family.

"I don't know what other teachings the prince has for the Ministry of Water?" Li Sixun asked modestly.

"I don't dare to talk about the teachings, you are a foreigner, you have to be in charge of the world's rivers and boats, the machine I developed will soon be successful, and I plan to use it on the boat for experiments first. The reason for this is that it is difficult to transport water now. Sailing and manpower alone are not enough. If you use a motorized boat, you don't need to rely on sails and manpower, and it is very convenient in the river. Wu Yanzhi said.

This machine was produced for the first time in the train, automobile, shipbuilding, industrial and mining, textile and other industries to promote industrialization.

Among them, the most convenient places at this time and able to make the emperor happiest are, of course, ships, industrial and mining industries. And then gradually spread to the textile industry and the transportation industry, which is a long process, taking decades.

"Motor boats? Lord, what does this motor boat look like? Li Sixun looked forward to it, that is, Li Linfu, Wu Yanping, Yao Kuan, Yufei and others were also full of expectations, hoping that Wu Yanzhi would give an explanation.

"As the name suggests, this motor boat is driven by a machine, and it does not require wind power and manpower......" For this ancient person, Wu Yanzhi had to take the trouble to explain.

He roughly explained the principle, and these people understood most of it. However, since they had never seen a machine, most of them were skeptical of a machine that could spin on its own. Only Yao Kuan and Yufei were convinced.

Then Yao Kuan saw that Li Linfu and Li Sixun didn't believe it: "Don't you even believe the words of the prince?" I'll show you! ”

So he smiled and went to another room and asked a few people to bring the stove over. took the initiative to re-perform the demonstration that Wu Yanzhi gave them.

Through the demonstration, these people seemed to suddenly understand, especially Li Linfu's brain turned very fast: "It seems that as long as there is no shortage of charcoal in this furnace, this lid will continue to beat." The same must be true of the machine. Lord Wang, isn't this technical school teaching this? ”

"These things are definitely taught, too. But there's more to it, and you'll find out then. It's only one hundredth or one thousandth. ”

At this time, Yao Kuan suddenly said: "I forgot, Lord Wang, the lowly third boy is just twelve years old this year......"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Yanzhi said, "What's the problem? You ask him to find Secretary Jiang to sign up, as long as he is smart! I've already told him.

But Yao Dianjun, I also want to remind you that you are now a fifth-grade official, and your son has a background, as long as you let him read more books, he can be an official directly, and there is no need to come here. You have to think about it. ”

Officials above the fifth rank of the Tang Dynasty, not only their sons, but also their grandsons are qualified to be officials. Of course, most of them generally have to be a guard officer first. There are also those who go directly to the national prison and become officials after graduation (

It is easy to graduate from the Guozijian exam, of course, you can also take the Mingjing and Jinshi exams, which has a greater future for future promotion, but after all, there are only a few people who can be admitted).

Yao Kuan smiled and said: "Lord, having said that, I don't want him to be a guard officer, and he is not the material for studying in the country." To tell the truth, I just want him to learn some more useful things from the prince, anyway, he will be an official in the future, and he can use the same shade. I'm a blacksmith by training, and he likes to tinker with these things. ”

"Okay, you can do it." Yao Kuan is currently from the fifth rank, and his son is from the eighth rank after using the shade, which is four orders higher than other students as soon as they graduate, not counting that Yao Kuan will be promoted to a higher official in the future.

(Yin: A system in the Tang Dynasty that gave the sons of officials above the fifth rank the qualifications to be officials.) Officials below the sixth rank can also be used, but it is many times more difficult, because to obtain qualifications, you must first serve for ten years, and you must be candidates for several years before you can become an official, which is very difficult, and it is not the same as that of officials above the fifth rank. ）

……

Morning.

Halfway through the meeting, some people came out to oppose the establishment of a technical school. The first to oppose was Xiao Gong, a spring official wailang:

"Your Majesty, Weichen heard that King Zhuojun is going to open a technician school in Shendu recently? Wechen thought it was absolutely impossible! ”

"Why not?" Wu Zetian frowned when he heard this, but Wu Yanzhi himself was very calm.

"Your Majesty! A person who is an official should be a humble gentleman and a man of good manners! In order to carry forward the avenue and undertake the principles of heaven. The businessmen forgot their righteousness when they saw their profits, and the workers did lowly jobs.

Just like the Guozijian, all the scholars trained are elegant scribes, and now the king of Zhuojun wants to train the workers to be officials, so that we and other scholars and craftsmen will be in the same ranks.

Wouldn't this shame Weichen and other scholars? Weichen and others have been studying poetry and books for more than ten years, and they can be in the same dynasty as lowly people? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and many officials actually nodded yes. Of course, most of the people did not speak, because they all knew that the emperor had decreed that this matter had been opened and could not be reversed.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that public technical schools are impossible! The people's taxes were used to train officials to manage the people, not to train craftsmen.

Since ancient times, craftsmen have been masters and apprentices, how can anyone hear of a special school? Even if it is to be opened, there should be private ones. Duguan Langzhong Li Fu said.

After he finished speaking, several more people stood up against it.

Listening to the fire of Wu Yan, he just wanted to speak, and Wang Lin, the winter official waiter, said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that he can open a technical school. Weichen thinks that the people's taxes should be taken from the people and from the people. Nowadays, the situation is very different from the past, the annual output of steel, iron, and copper has increased several times, and firearms have slowly become an army, which is all the credit of the king of Zhuojun. To handle these important matters, I am afraid that it is not possible to rely on the diligent study of the subset of scriptures and histories. ”

At this time, Wu Yizong also stood up in support: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that he will not only run a technical school, but also a big ......."

Subsequently, the situation began to reverse, and high-level officials such as Li Bochang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Cui Shilian, the young supervisor of Shangfang, also agreed to open it.

Wu Sansi didn't speak, he was a little irritable in his heart. This limelight has made Wu Yanzhi rob it, what are you doing? I'm the natural choice for the Prince!

At this time, Wu Yanzhi said: "Your Majesty, Weichen just wanted to cultivate some officials who knew how to manage copper, iron and firearms, but I didn't expect to attract so much opposition.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are all dressed in purple and scarlet and live in luxurious houses. How did these come about? Have you ever planted a day? Have you ever woven a foot of cloth? Have you ever built an inch of wall and burned a single tile?

You don't, what face do you look down on the people? Looking down on artisans? Looking down on businessmen? Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that for these people who are contrary to Your Majesty, they should all be degraded, let them go to the county lieutenant and county order, and experience the hardships of the work of hundreds of workers and people!
