When Wu Yanyi heard it, he felt that what his nephew said was very reasonable. This Lei Caiwei is too powerful and too conspicuous, and he is not only the firearms envoy, but also the general of the Lei Caiwei, the winter official Shangshu, and the governor of Luo, which is indeed a bit inappropriate.

Some people with ulterior motives will inevitably slander in front of the emperor, especially those who hope for the restoration of the Li family, and they have to guard against it.

"Nephew is right! Wait for me to think about it! You call those coaches and lieutenants for me, and I have something to tell them!" ”

"Yes."

……

Hanyuan hall side hall.

"Grandmother, now my grandson hears some gossip, which made my grandson puzzled at first. But when you think about it, you can't blame them all.

There are 4,000 people in the Lei Cavalry Guard, and the army is strong, once the army is formed, it can defeat 100,000 people outside the country, and the person in charge of it cannot be easily chosen. Now my grandson is too busy with so many positions. I implore me to resign from the post of General Lei Caiwei and Governor of Luo, and only serve as the official of the winter office, so as to stop slandering. ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "You are a member of my martial family, can I still feel at ease?" I'm even more worried about the others! But what you're saying isn't entirely unreasonable.

I think so, let the inner servant Liu Shi serve as the supervisor of the Thunder Cavalry Guard. At the same time, you will be removed from the post of winter official and scholar, and you will be given two envoys to the palace and the hundred workers.

With the four envoys of firearms, copper and iron, palace garden, and hundred workers, you will continue to supervise the projects of the two capitals and the related affairs of copper, iron, and firearms. Let Li Bochang come back to serve as the winter official Shangshu, I also thought about it at the beginning. As for the history of the governor of Luo, there is no suitable candidate for the time being, so you will take on the role first.

Except for Wu Yizong, I am not at ease when other people serve as the governor of Luo. However, he is also busy now, and this matter will be discussed later. ”

"Grandson obeys!" When Wu Yan heard this, it seemed that Wu Zetian also felt even more uneasy about handing over Lei Caiwei to someone who was not surnamed Wu.

Now he has sent an overseer in the Thunder Cavalry Guard, so that no one is gossiping. The power of the supervising army is very large, almost equivalent to that of a general.

"Grandmother, my grandson still has something to do, please give me my grandmother's permission!"

"Please!"

"Grandmother, I don't know when I started to pay attention to the farmers and industry and raise the scholars to the supreme position.

Although Sun Er felt that there was nothing wrong with this, but the status of business people was quite low, Sun Er thought that the court seemed to adjust its policy and pay a little attention to business people. ”

Wu Yanzhi's words, Wu Zetian's eyes lit up, and he felt that what he said was very reasonable. You must know that his father is actually a big businessman, not a gentleman.

"You are reasonable, why do you do this? What to do? Wu Zetian asked.

"My grandmother, who privately looked down on businessmen, thought they were quite inferior. This is a big fallacy. Just imagine, the clothes people wear, the utensils people use, the houses they live in, everything in people's daily life, which is not handled by the people of industry and commerce!

Scholars could serve as officials, and peasants and businessmen paid taxes for the people. The people who really work and pay taxes are not scholars, but farmers and industrialists.

Therefore, the grandson thinks that now Guozijian teaches six studies, and the expenses come from the people's food and rent. Nowadays, firearms, copper and iron, and even monks and eunuchs lack creative and talented senior craftsmen and managers.

Therefore, Sun Er suggested that under Shang Fangjian or the Winter Lawsuit, or under the Hundred Craftsmen, a technical school could be set up, and senior craftsmen could be hired to teach the study of technicians, and also teach a part of the study of economics and history.

The purpose of establishing this technical school is to train high-level craftsmen and middle- and low-level officials required by the five eunuchs of the nine temples, such as Shang Fangjian and Jiang Zuojian. ”

Wu Zetian couldn't stop nodding while listening!

After Wu Yanzhi finished speaking, he asked again: "Then how should this course be designed according to your opinion?" ”

She is more concerned with the specific design of the subject. As soon as Wu Yan heard her tone, he felt that it was funny, so he said, "This course can be as needed." For example, there is an urgent need for firearms and metallurgy, and we will spend two to three years training some of them.

In addition, all kinds of industries such as house construction, utensils making, food brewing, mining and metallurgy, weaving and spinning, and shipbuilding can be taught. There are several crafts that can also be learned by a person.

As for the specific curriculum, it needs to be discussed in detail and the opinions of the relevant officials and craftsmen will be heard. There is also time to study, which can be long or short-term. Three or five years is fine, and three or five months is also acceptable.

Of course, in order to save money, it is necessary to control the staffing of the school, after all, it is a public school. ”

"Good! However, I think this school can be run, and the number of early personnel will be controlled at fifty. Moreover, it is not easy to be located under the yamen of other departments, and it is listed under the hundred workers, that is, it is of a temporary nature, and it is difficult for other officials to say anything. Otherwise, as you know, there will definitely be a large number of officials who oppose it. "Wu Zetian was very thoughtful, and of course Wu Yan also took into account the opposition of hundreds of officials.

After all, in the Tang (Zhou) Dynasty, the status of industrial and commercial people was not high, and there was still a big gap with the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. For example, not allowing the children of industrial and commercial people to participate in the imperial examination is a discriminatory policy.

Later, although the society of business and commerce was also low, there were no strict restrictions on their children from participating in scientific examinations.

"Grandson, thank you Grandma." Wu Yanzhi was of course very happy to see that Wu Zetian agreed. From then on, I was able to concentrate on training skilled workers.

For example, it is necessary to use the glassware that has been developed to gradually carry out chemical experiments and strive to establish chemistry as soon as possible. And electricity, which is more important than anything else.

In addition, it is also possible to train talents who specialize in the development of machines, but the slow progress of machine development is directly related to the lack of talents.

I only watched the progress a few days ago, and there are still five or six months to follow the machine that the emperor can barely see.

……

Wu Yanzhi said goodbye to the emperor, and began to consider personnel arrangements on the way.

In the end, he decided that Sun Heng would serve as a full-time judge of copper and iron; Jiang Shipeng served as a judge of firearms and a judge of 100 workers, and then concurrently served as the superintendent of the technical school. At the same time, Qi Xuan was asked to concurrently serve as the palace envoy judge, and Lu Hong was still the secretary in charge.

"Technical school inspector?" Jiang Shipeng was very excited when he heard this.

"Well, I'm the superintendent, and you're the superintendent. I haven't decided on the name of the school yet! I don't think it's going to be called Shendu Engineering School, what do you think of the name? Wu Yanzhi said with a smile. In the past, it was relatively simple to choose names, what arithmetic, law, Guozixue, and four disciplines, when I was in college, there was a college of engineering.

"Okay? It's called Shendu Engineering School. The name of the prince is good. I must set up this school as soon as possible! He never dreamed that the emperor would approve what the Technician School would be called.

Speaking of which, Jiang Shipeng himself initially looked down on industrial and commercial people. However, after following Wu Yanzhi to handle the affairs of copper and iron and firearms, he has completely changed his opinion.

With his own skills, Wu Yanzhi doubled the copper and iron of Da Zhou in a short period of time. It is this firearm, if this thunder cavalry guards become an army, it is estimated that it will sweep through the Tibetans and Turks.

These are made by the craftsmen themselves, and under his leadership. So now his view of the craftsmen has changed greatly, and has long since changed from contempt to respect. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
