Chapter 83 With Zhuge Qingshan's support
For several days in a row, one after another, people came to visit Fangjiazhuang.
It is only because the Cabinet has issued the results of the various rules and agenda of the Musket Bureau.
One of the most important is that all the officials of the Musket Bureau are selected and elected by the Superintendent.
This is the emperor's meaning, and after all parties knew about it, they naturally went to Fangjiazhuang immediately to seek an official position for their family.
"Even the King of Wei and the King of Qi are looking for jobs for their brothers-in-law, so it can be seen that my musket bureau is very sought-after." Fang Jue took the prayer notes from all sides, shook his head and chuckled.
These people are too big talkers.
In dozens of worship posts, some people even directly asked for official positions.
They also offered to bring many well-wrapped, but very heavy gifts.
Fang Jue estimated that it should be gold, if he received those things, he was afraid that Xiao Chaoguo of the Hanging Sword Division would come to raid the house.
"Young master, do you really don't give anyone face?" Dianichi admired.
Fang Jue: "I don't like the existing bureaucratic system, since Your Majesty wants to see my vision, I will do it to him." β
"Huh?"
Dian Yiyi: "What the young master means is that the emperor asked you to choose someone, not to give you power, but to see who you would choose?" β
"That's nature, you have to understand one thing, that is, the final decision is always in the hands of the emperor." Fang Jue said lightly.
This power may seem great, but the emperor always has a veto.
He can support it, or he can say that the candidate is not suitable, and backhand gives a prepared list.
So this is another exchange and temptation between the two sides.
The emperor wants to see Fang Jue's vision of selecting people, and Fang Jue intends to give the emperor a "surprise".
"Young Master," Fang Fu suddenly knocked on the door from outside, "Lord Shoufu is here." β
"Please." Fang Jue said without hesitation, and didn't even look at the prayer post.
After a while, he retreated to the secret room, and the two important ministers discussed the matter, and it was inconvenient for him to be present to listen to the secrets.
However, in the secret room, it can still be heard, just to make Zhuge Qingshan feel better.
"Haha, the young master is really young and promising......"
As soon as he sat down, Zhuge Qingshan sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty, this can be regarded as extremely trusting, the official candidates of the entire Musket Bureau must be selected by the young master himself, does the young master have a charter?" β
Fang Jue shook his head and laughed: "Don't hide it from the boss, I just learned the news, I didn't plan it at all, and I want to ask you a thing or two." β
said, bowed his hand slightly, and gave Zhuge Qingshan enough face.
But he was throwing bricks and stones, he knew that Zhuge Qingshan would never come for nothing, and he was very busy as the first assistant.
Seeing this, Zhuge Qingshan was not polite, and directly took out a note, spread it out and put it on the table.
Fang Jue glanced at it, and it was densely packed with people's names.
"This is ......," Fang Jue pretended not to understand.
"Recently, when the cabinet and various ministries are discussing the job structure of the Musket Bureau, some people have already been elected, and the young master can take a look, and if there is a suitable eye, he can give it a try." Zhuge Qingshan picked up the teacup and pecked slightly, radiant.
"Every time I come to the young master, I always feel that the tea is better than the house, or even better than the palace, and it is worthy of the old tea on the Emperor's Pavilion."
Fang Jue smiled, picked up the list and looked at it carefully, and said as he looked at it: "If the boss likes it, I will ask Fang Fu to bring you a box when you leave." β
"Then what's embarrassing, the old man deserves it......" Zhuge Qingshan shook his head.
Fang Jue didn't say much, and glanced at the maid who was waiting at the door, and after the maid understood, he went to inform the housekeeper to prepare.
After another moment, Fang Jue finished reading the name, put down the list and said:
"The boss has good intentions, these names, when I was in the Emperor's Pavilion, I also heard of them, they are all good virtuous ministers."
The word virtuous minister is naturally polite, and it can only be said that there is no bad deeds at present.
The selection of people in the cabinet is quite fair, although some people here see nepotism, but after all, they have qualifications and experience.
No one will, rashly recommend to others, a newcomer with no experience, to take on an important position.
That does not conform to the rules of officialdom, and will immediately stand opposite the existing civil service system.
"It's good if the young master is satisfied." Zhuge Qingshan smiled, feeling that Fang Jue was very face-saving.
Half of these people can "pass the trial" here in Fang Jue, even if he didn't come in vain today.
Fang Jue said: "Boss, do you know how the Musket Bureau is different from other ordnance houses? β
"Oh? I want to ask for advice. Zhuge Qingshan gave up.
Even if the musket is very powerful, and the emperor attaches so much importance to it, Zhuge Qingshan has always been a little puzzled, isn't it the same six?
It's a bit too much to tie up Fang Jue and the Emperor Pavilion.
"The Musket Bureau, the ordnance to be built right now is called a musket, and it is a long-range weapon that is better than the range and power of a bow and crossbow."
"Once it is installed on a large scale, it will immediately change the existing way of warfare."
"Is the young master exaggerating?" Zhuge Qingshan frowned deeply, he had lived most of his life, but the way he fought on the battlefield seemed to have never changed.
Weapons and ordnance, those things are just refurbished, and with a little more ingenuity, it is basically difficult to say that it can change the way of war at once.
Fang Jue said with a smile: "Boss, if this is not the case, how could Your Majesty attach so much importance to the Musket Bureau, and how can the Musket Bureau be the same as the six departments?" β
"This ......" Zhuge Qingshan understood, he had already doubted, but he was still shocked at the moment.
"The power of the musket can reveal a thing or two to the boss...... The existing heavy armor was like papier-mΓ’chΓ© in front of the musket. β
"If it is a line of muskets, it doesn't have to be too many, only two thousand battalions are needed, which is enough to decide the outcome of a war."
"If the whole army is equipped, the Great Xia Kingdom can immediately conquer the six kingdoms of the world and reproduce the great cause of unification in the Emperor Era!"
"Shhhh
Only then did he slowly gasp: "Unbelievable! β
Having said this, Fang Jue knew that Zhuge Qingshan should also understand.
"So, sir, you should understand how important the Torch Bureau is?" Fang Jue said with a smile.
"If what the young master said is true, the Musket Bureau should indeed have a high enough status...... And you must pay attention to confidentiality, otherwise once the manufacturing method is revealed, it will be an enemy! β
It is worthy of Zhuge Qingshan, who has a strategic vision, not an ordinary Wenchen.
Fang Jue nodded: "Even so, the officials of the Musket Bureau must also choose carefully. β
"First of all, there must be His Majesty's people in it, like the prison army."
Zhuge Qingshan said that he understood: "Any department has His Majesty's eyeliner, so that he can feel at ease and will not be deceived." β
This kind of thing would be done by any emperor, unless he really has no experience in political struggle.
"Secondly, officials at all levels must unite and understand production, otherwise it will inevitably delay the great cause of our Xia country."
"Yes, too...... There can be no rotten sour literature, slack or perfunctory in the musket bureau, that will lead to miscountry! Zhuge Qingshan said excitedly, and there were suddenly some people on that list who were crossed out in his heart.
If you want to touch the fish and paddle, get out of here.
Fang Jue saw that he had almost finished speaking, so he said: "So I suggest that officials at all levels who want to enter the Musket Bureau need to learn some basic forging methods for muskets first, of course, they can't learn all of them, it's only a part of the ......."
"They have to know how to lead the craftsmen of the Musket Bureau, if they ask the layman to guide the insider, won't it be difficult to go up and down, and they will be in chaos first?"
If Fang Jue had said this before, Zhuge Qingshan would probably be displeased.
But now, Zhuge Qingshan felt: "The young master is reasonable, so you can't let the layman guide the insider!" β
As an official so far, Zhuge Qingshan, who was young, also deeply felt the corpses of some officials.
They obviously don't understand chicken feathers, but they still have to command this and that, which makes a miasma, and many projects are delayed or even scrapped.
After Zhuge Qingshan came to power, he never liked it, using those laymen.
As soon as Fang Jue's words came out, he resonated, and he suddenly felt like a confidant.
Zhuge Qingshan said: "The government affairs of the imperial court, how much is ruined, this layman guides the insider, the young master is really incisive!" β
"I agree with the young master, if you want to enter the Musket Bureau, you must know some production, otherwise it will be a disaster!"
Anything, as long as it is misguided, Zhuge Qingshan is not allowed.
Seeing this, Fang Jue added a fire: "Boss, if it goes well, the Musket Bureau is not far away, maybe in your lifetime, you can see the Seven Kingdoms unified in the hands of my Xia Kingdom!" β
"Borrow the young master's auspicious words!" Zhuge Qingshan arched his hand and smiled heartily, these words were his appetite.
Today's Zhuge Qingshan is already a very good minister.
To achieve this position as an official, there is nothing else to pursue, he is already the first minister in the world, and he is destined to live for generations.
But if you go one step further and help the Holy Lord become the co-lord of the world in his lifetime, it will be forever!
