Chapter 703: Superb Paster

Yan Song is here, this outstanding representative of female cadres in history, at this moment, he is still a clear stream with a clean breeze and a righteous heart. This is an official, and you have to follow the right person! Yan Song was a jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the fifth in high school, and was selected as a Shujishi. Later, he has been stumbling in officialdom and was kicked into the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau. Who knows if Ji Tailai is coming, the machinery manufacturing bureau is rising, and he is also on the rise, following Yang Tinghe and Jiao Fang all the way to the current Sanpin master.

Entering the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Houxi beckoned him over, and couldn't wait to ask, "How many craftsmen are there in the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau now?" Can you make a soul chaser gun? Is there a way to bullet it?"

Yan Song came to the spirit, this is the first time Jiajing has summoned him, and he played it properly, it is a good opportunity for promotion! He bowed in the most standard and elegant manner: "Your Majesty, rest assured. The manufacturing bureau is now facing an unprecedented predicament, but it is not impossible to solve it. There are a lot of craftsmen, but, uh, although they couldn't go on a career as originally envisioned in the past, there was still a high salary, and the craftsmen did their best before. After Liu Zhang and Lord Liu cut the coins of the manufacturing bureau, day by day is not as good as day by day, and the craftsmen are now messing around. However, if the imperial court can give the craftsmen a way out, the situation will be much better. Your Majesty, technical problems are easy to solve, but the real ones that are difficult to solve are people!"

Jiajing was a little tired of Yan Song at first, and he didn't answer what he asked, I was asking you the truth, what kind of past did you talk about? Isn't that shirking responsibility? But after some words, Zhu Houxi didn't think so. He asked with interest, "Now that the imperial court treasury is empty, what can you do?"

Yan Song said respectfully: "Every year, three places are given to craftsmen, and three places can be transferred to the nine rank officials below the head of the Ministry of Industry. Promotion is not important, the important thing is that the craftsman will do his best to get rid of the identity of the craftsman. For example, bullets are not impossible to build. Collect the shells that have been hit, and they can be filled with ordinary gunpowder. The same is true for artillery shells, and shells can also be minted in the same way as coinage. The barrel is difficult to form, but it can also be cast, re-rifled, and used. There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the minister still says that it is people who really need to be solved!"

No one thought that this Yan Song, who used to be silent and happy all day long, would have a splendid chest! Even Yang Ting and the old boss who had led Yan Song for many years looked at Yan Song unexpectedly. Zhu Houxi's eyes flashed with joy, and he nodded again and again: "Yang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Yang Tinghe looked at Yan Song approvingly: "Your Majesty, it's feasible!" Weizhong has been on the front line of the manufacturing bureau, and his understanding of the manufacturing bureau is still above Weichen. While the technical solutions described are not perfect, they are more than adequate for the time being. At the beginning of the establishment of the Manufacturing Bureau, there was the idea of craftsmen turning into officials. There is no need to increase the amount of money to make a difference, and the court can benefit without expense, and it can also solve the urgent needs of the moment, and the ministers have no objection!"

Zhu Houxi was even more happy, and turned his gaze to Liu Yu: "Liu Aiqing, you are a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, what do you think?"

Liu Yu was in trouble. What is a craftsman? Grass mustard-like existence. How can you make them officials? Not to mention vulgar people like craftsmen, even if they are officials who are really in charge of the court, it is impossible to be an official! The key is that once this opening is opened, what will happen in the future?

Mao Ji said unhappily: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible! Since the Great Song Dynasty, people who are not scholars cannot be officials. In this dynasty, you can become an official by raising a person, but there has never been a precedent for a vulgar person to be an official. The minister thinks that the family law of the ancestors is immutable, otherwise the country will not be a country."

Prince Liang also objected: "What Lord Mao said also agrees. For the head of the official to value virtue, the so-called four dimensions of the country's etiquette, righteousness and shame, craftsmen do not read, where do they know the master's subtle words? This example cannot be opened, if the craftsman can be an official, can a clerk be an official? You must know that the clerk is a person who can read and write, and he is more qualified to be an official than a craftsman! If the craftsman can be an official, will the officials be resentful? It's more than worth the loss!"

Yang Tinghe had a headache! Not again! Or is it the cliché of the past, you don't have to solve the problem, how to find fault with it, one is more happy than the other?

Zhu Houxi was also speechless, he couldn't say that what people said was wrong, the three outlines and five constants were the cornerstone of the existence of the imperial court, and if the craftsmen were really promoted, there would indeed be many sequelae. But what about the current problem?

Ma Wensheng saw Zhu Houxi's troubles, but he didn't have much to do. Do you understand, what is the craftsman's picture? Either being an official or trying to make money, there is neither, why do people work hard? What the two elders said is also right, work

The craftsman is the official, where is the scholar? A large number of scholars can only become a clerk if they fail the exam, and the craftsman becomes an official, what should I do if the clerk quits? What a headache!

Liu Yu pondered for a long time, and inadvertently saw Zhang Lun who was still with filial piety. Originally, Zhang Lun wanted to keep filial piety, but the war was tense, and he, the governor of the five armies, couldn't come if he didn't come. Zhang Lun was inexplicable, he only felt a little hairy, and he didn't know how Liu Yu could be interested in him. But seeing that Liu Yu suddenly was overjoyed, he stood up and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, craftsmen can't be officials, I don't know if they can be awarded?"

Swish! Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Yu. Zhu Houxi turned his head to look at Mao Ji, who had just opposed the most, Mao Ji groaned slightly and nodded: "This is not unavoidable. The people have been awarded honors since ancient times, and the nobles have no duties and are harmless to the country. However, the nobles have a fortune!"

Get! It's back around! Zhu Houxi's eyes darkened, and he didn't know what to do. Yan Song suggested, "Your Majesty, do you want to open up a class of nobles? There is only treatment, not money. If you are of the same rank, if you are rude to officials, if you can marry with officials and nobles, and so on, I believe that the craftsmen are also willing."

Zhu Houxi's face became as clear as the sky outside the hall. This is the old man who seeks the country, and this is the capable minister! He turned his head to look at Liang Chu: "Liang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Liang Chu also admired Yan Songshi's ability to squeeze oil, and arched his hand: "The minister has no objection! Lord Yan found a broad road at the end of the mountain and water, and the minister also admired it."

Ma Wensheng also smiled and praised: "There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, Lord Yang, you are a talented person in the manufacturing bureau, and the future is terrifying!"

Yang Tinghe is also happy for Yan Song, Yang Tinghe has always been very optimistic about Yan Song, thinking that he is down-to-earth and hardworking, flexible in mind, and a rare talent. Sure enough, the jackpot was drawn today. So he also smiled and said, "Yang doesn't dare to be greedy, Lord Yan has always been a person who abides by the rules, and is pragmatic and willing to work, Yang relied on Lord Yan more when he was in the manufacturing bureau."

Now that everyone's opinions are unified, Zhu Houxi looked at Yan Song, who was desperately restraining himself, and said with a smile: "Lord Yan, since this is the case, you will go to the court. Well, I can reveal a little bit of news, I want a soul chaser!"

His thoughts were opened, and Han Wen said thoughtfully, "Your Majesty, if you donate more than 10,000 stones, or more than 100,000 stones, can you also give a noble who does not pay a fortune?"

Yikes! The people in the hall were all pleasantly surprised, isn't this all alive? Liu Yu is amazing! Everyone was overjoyed, and Mao Ji was the first to say, "The minister seconded the proposal, Lord Han was open-minded, and the minister had to obey."

Han Wen arched his hand: "No, no, this is all initiated by Lord Liu, and the old man is just according to the map, it is really Your Majesty's blessing and blessing."

Everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere was relaxed. Also, the big problem is solved in your words and my words, so aren't all the leaders here who are wiser than the sky? It's just that the technology can't be adulterated, Yan Song's method is just improvised, as for the actual effect, only God knows.

Returning to Pei County, Lei Buyu's defense line was constantly broken through by the Wing Army. It's just that the most annoying point of trench warfare is slowly coming to the fore, during the First World War, it is difficult to break through the continuous trenches, or it is difficult to break through quickly. Although the Wing Army is strong and well-armed, without tanks and heavy artillery, it cannot tear through the core defense line of Lei Buyu, and can only gnaw little by little.

It had been raining for two days, and the water in the trenches was waist-deep. After receiving the report, Lei Buyu nodded with a smile: "It's okay. Tell Linghu that you can shrink your position, give up little by little, and do a full set of plays, don't be perfunctory."

Ling Hu Xingcai has been promoted to division commander and deputy commander of the Second Army, and the army commander Zhang Lun is still at home, so he has become the actual commander. The abandonment of the second-line position actually exposed Lei Buyu's core position, but Lei Buyu didn't care at all. After Ling Hu Xingcai received the order, he immediately arranged and executed it.

Rumble! A mortar shell exploded, making a small splash in vain. Tong Siwa looked up at the continuous drizzle and cursed in a low voice.

"Deputy battalion commander, the regimental headquarters has issued an order for us to gradually withdraw from our positions."

Tong Siwa frowned, took the order, and looked up and down: "Hmph! This Wang Shangui can't write well? I don't know!"

Wang Shangui is born in the first show, and he likes it the most

Joy sells a good word. often boasted that he was as sincere as he could, and from time to time he showed off in orders, which made the officers below scold.

The herald looked at Tong Siwa helplessly: "Boss Tong, don't embarrass me?"

"Done! Count Lao Tzu received the order, where did he sign it?"

The herald looked at Tong Siwa's crooked signature and laughed, "Gotcha! Thank you, Boss Tong, for making it happen."

Tong Siwa looked at the back of the herald and sighed quietly. To start a war with the Wing Army, he was not happy in his heart. It's not a question of whether he can beat or not, he doesn't have a good opinion of Zhu Houxi today, and he became the emperor in a blink of an eye after a sinner, and he was not convinced. The key is that Hua Houwei's image in his mind is very great, which is due to the edification he received when dealing with the Wing Army, as well as the strict military discipline and refreshing military appearance of the Wing Army.

"Little Five! The 7th Company was ordered to completely abandon its position after two hours and withdraw from the 8th Company's position to the battalion headquarters. Ordered the Eighth Company, and after two and a half hours, retreat from the position of the Fifth Company..."
