Now in the Great Song Dynasty, Xiao Ming actually didn't have to stare at it every day, some of the rules and regulations he formulated at the beginning also had the intention of binding everyone, but there were talents within the hundred officials, not only to carry forward his rules and regulations, but even more strict and strict, the various yamen directly under the court basically have their own office locations, but still follow the requirements of the meeting of the court three times a month. 【 High Quality Update 】

In fact, the officials directly under the imperial court do not necessarily have to gather in the capital, Jinling Mansion has the yamen of Jinling Mansion, the imperial court is the palace of the imperial court, and the direct Daozhou all over the country has its own exclusive staff stationed and managed, and the officials of the six departments are basically in the cabinet, and the other miscellaneous officials are basically not envied, and they are all looking forward to going to the local area.

More and more officials have been appointed by the central government to various local provinces and other places, due to the convenient transportation and the development of postal services, the primary production of the messenger flying kite has basically been flying in the sky! The central government's control has never been so tight, and the issuance and supervision of cabinet decrees have achieved results as quickly as possible.

When Xiao Ming originally sat in the cabinet, he only made a decision on some unresolved matters, and the cabinet ministers also knew that they didn't need to go to the emperor, one was that the emperor was young, and the emperor was often not in the capital, and the only person who could make decisions about the affairs of the country was Xiao Ming, but as Xiao Ming gradually disappeared from the court, every time he encountered a major event, these old ministers quarreled and quarreled, but they could still come up with practical methods, and over time, according to the original system, Xiao Ming's role in sitting in charge became smaller and smaller.

In the cabinet of the entire Great Song Dynasty, there are now more and more administrative affairs, Zhu Yi, Shi Hao, and Liu Ziyu. Xin Shanshan and the others are already up to the task! Lu Yihao is old and has returned to his hometown to retire, and the circle of internal auxiliary ministers dominated by Wu Yong in cabinet affairs has gradually become the mainstream.

Shangshu Province was promoted by Xiao Ming to become the training place of the first assistant of the cabinet, and the appointment of Shangshu in the six ministries must be approved by the cabinet, and if one party is not a capable minister, he cannot take on this great responsibility, and Wu Jue, as an important powerful candidate of the military, naturally holds the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, while Han Shizhong, another powerful figure in the military, does not hold any title.

In fact, this is also his own request, after all, Han Shizhong knows in his heart that he is not the kind of temple figure above the Great Song Dynasty, he is actually still a figure of Xiao Ming's faction, in order not to increase the burden of criticism on Xiao Ming, Han Shizhong insisted on not being responsible for it, and Xiao Ming was helpless about this!

Han Shizhong is cautious, not greedy for merit or publicity, but Xiao Ming can't let him be wronged in any way, what should be given must be given, in the second year of Longqing, the imperial court added the title of nobleman, Han Shizhong was awarded the title of Jing for the accumulation of military merits, and entered the Shaobao. The official seal signed the Privy Council, this is the position of the chief of the general staff of the military.

In fact, there are many people in Xiao Ming's faction who do not want to be officials, which is the result of the change in the social atmosphere at the time, and the scope of the imperial court's selection of officials is not only limited to the imperial examination system, but is multifaceted, and all the people who are talented in the corresponding field are likely to become officials.

Now the officials are under the control of the various systems that the imperial court has continuously formulated, and their rights have been greatly weakened, except for the relatively generous salary, all other privileges have been abolished, and the official position can only be a profession and cannot become a privilege that benefits the whole family, and there are still many people underground waiting for the annual monitoring and evaluation scores, ready to take your position, so the officials can not be too attractive now!

For the system of scoring and evaluation of the Supervision Bureau, this was quite praised by Ding Jianpeng, saying that this is the best system invented by Xiao Ming, which made Xiao Ming think deeply for a long time, and he has been unswervingly implementing the reform of the system, why can't he find a good way to really change the thinking of the official standard?

Xiao Ming and Ding Jianpeng talked very casually, he raised this issue and discussed it with Ding Jianpeng, Ding Jianpeng is a very mysterious inventor in the eyes of outsiders, he simply knows astronomy and geography, and understands everything, but in Xiao Ming's eyes, this is not the case, he always regards Ding Jianpeng as one of the closest people in the world, and he is the support and person of his own mind and spirit.

The longer he lives in this world, the more Xiao Ming feels like an ancient person, whether it is talking or doing things or the way of thinking, he can only use Ding Jianpeng as a way to remind himself that he still belongs to modern people, because Ding Jianpeng's way of thinking is always that of modern people.

Regarding the question raised by Xiao Ming, Ding Jianpeng fell into an in-depth way of thinking, and he felt that some ideas and opinions still needed to be discussed with Xiao Ming.

Taking a sip of tea, Ding Jianpeng said: "I have always wondered what Chinese have to support their spiritual world when they have no religious beliefs!" ”

"Religion has always been a tool for Chinese to choose from the world, rather than some spiritual sustenance," Xiao Ming added.

Ding Jianpeng nodded: "You are right, the Chinese are relatively slippery in their bones, and the gods in religion are not enough for them to fear, on the one hand, they ask the gods to bless themselves, and on the other hand, they do all the bad things!" There are many such people, which shows that they are not afraid of these ghosts and gods in their bones! So what are you afraid of? ”

Xiao Ming said: "They are afraid of power!" "I've seen too many of these things since I came to power.

"You're right again, they fear power, and whoever is in power is afraid of whom? Rights make them flock to it, because they give it an aura of supremacy, and this kind of education has been caused by thousands of years, and later Confucianism has carried forward this idea, so that it can enter the deepest part of the spirit of every Chinese like religion! ”

Xiao Ming smiled bitterly: "Then wouldn't what I did in a few decades be in vain?" ”

Ding Jianpeng sighed and said, "It takes time!" Just a few decades aren't enough to change this kind of thing! ”

"This philosophical proposition seems a little too profound!" Xiao Ming frowned and meditated.

Ding Jianpeng said with a smile: "Forget it, don't think about this kind of thing, many things are better to go naturally, you came just in time today, I wrote to you to come over to give you a surprise!" ”

Xiao Ming raised his head and asked, "What's the surprise?" ”

"Please come with me" Ding Jianpeng stood up and led the way in front, the place where he lives now is still the villa that Xiao Ming gave him, Ding Jianpeng beckoned his servants as he walked, and asked them to quickly turn on the water pump, behind the villa is Ding Jianpeng's laboratory, where there are many expanded buildings, and there is even a large pump room!

Under the guidance of Ding Jianpeng, Xiao Ming came to a secret room, Ding Jianpeng opened the door, and the strange thing was that there was a light in this secret room, and Xiao Ming did not smell the smell of kerosene used for lighting.

"Master! Look who's coming! Ding Jianpeng shouted inside.

A person turned out from inside, it was Ding Jianpeng's wife Li Shishi, he saw Xiao Minghou Qingfu salute, his face was happy, and he hurriedly greeted: "It turned out to be Master Taishi!" Come on in! ”

Xiao Ming bowed and said, "Sister-in-law! You and I don't have to see outside, there are no outsiders here, just call me Xiao Ming! ”

Ding Jianpeng asked, "Master, have you always been here?" Can it be used again today? ”

Master Li said: "The whimsy of the husband, today's reserves are very high, and they can be used now."

Ding Jianpeng said: "Great! ”

Xiao Ming listened to the two of them talking, and felt confused, but Ding Jianpeng reached out and pressed a switch on the wall, and suddenly a delicate chandelier suddenly hung down on the roof of the house, the application of crystal glass was in place, and it looked very gorgeous, Ding Jianpeng reached out and pressed the button again, and suddenly something happened that surprised Xiao Ming.

The whole chandelier lit up suddenly, and it was obviously not the kerosene lamp used, but the actual light bulb! And there are still three sets of lampholders, and there are a total of nine bulbs in them!

"This! This is......? Xiao Ming was puzzled: "Brother Ding, have you invented electricity?" ”

Ding Jianpeng scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I shouldn't have invented this thing, but I can already get it out!" ”

As he was talking, the light bulb flashed and was about to go out, Ding Jianpeng reached out and waved a few switches on the wall, leaving only a set of light bulbs to illuminate, but this was also much brighter than a kerosene lamp.

"Glass bulbs are easy to blow out, but it's too difficult to create a vacuum, you can't blow other gases into it, and the use of carbon filament is also very unstable, so it's not easy to do this!" Ding Jianpeng explained.

Xiao Ming exclaimed: "It's not easy either!" The principle of the motor should not be difficult, who are you using the water pump to generate electricity? ”

"Originally, I wanted to use a steam boiler to push the rotor, but the calculation of that speed was always wrong, the speed of steam power could not be controlled, but the water flow could be used, so let's replace it with water flow for the time being! Fortunately, the technology of the battery is not difficult, and it can temporarily store a part of the electricity! ”

"Now please enjoy my new home" Ding Jianpeng said and opened a door again, please Xiao Ming in, Xiao Ming walked in as soon as he walked in, this is a completely modern family living room model, the room is covered with dark carpets, a set of leather sofas, coffee tables made of thick glass, tables and chairs and other things in the room are the modern appearance of later generations, the material used in the sofa is also real springs and cotton pads, the leather laid outside, the style is still very trendy!

And what surprised Xiao Ming even more was that there was a big TV opposite the sofa! He couldn't help but walk over and watch carefully, which made Ding Jianpeng laugh: "Don't look so carefully, fake!" ”

"How? Do you feel a little modern about coming home? The two sat on the sofa, and Ding Jianpeng asked.

Xiao Ming nodded, he was speechless, these things looked simple, but it could be seen that Ding Jianpeng had a lot of trouble, and Xiao Ming felt a little out of time and space here, after all, he hadn't had this feeling of being in a modern urban family for decades, which made him think a lot...... A lot, and before he knew it, the corners of his eyes were moist.

In the light footsteps, Master Li walked in with a tray and brought two drinks for the two of them! Looking at the brown color inside, Xiao Ming asked hesitantly, "Is this ...... This? ”

Ding Jianpeng said with a smile: "I grinded some of the cocoa beans you brought back from the Americas last time, and they are not bad, if it can be this taste, it can be regarded as authentic coffee!" Come and try it! ”

Xiao Ming took a sip, a bitter taste of coffee, as well as milky and sweet! Obviously, Ding Jianpeng added fresh milk and sucrose to it, and the idea that this taste could evoke more memories of Xiao Ming made him a little excited.

Master Li said: "My husband's whimsical ideas are more than that, I sometimes really don't know how he has so many strange thoughts in his head!" ”

Xiao Ming couldn't hide the excitement on his face and asked Ding Jianpeng: "What other surprises, why don't you take it out together!" ”

Ding Jianpeng laughed and said, "I knew you would like it!" ”

Xiao Ming urged: "You must still have it, show it quickly!" ”

Ding Jianpeng looked at Xiao Ming a little playfully, and then asked him, "Do you smoke?" ”
