Chapter 694: An official who doesn't want to be the first assistant is not a good official
As the supreme ruler of a country, Qin Feng saw a new thing, thought of a new possibility, and then arranged this matter, as for how to do it, he was not willing to interfere. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info because he knows very well that too much interference will only make the people who are working under him constrained, everything has to be reported, and he has to ask for instructions on big things, so don't think about doing anything.
Just like the rail car in Daye City, inadvertently, someone came up with it, made it, and put it into reality. There are a lot of smart people in the world, and as long as they are in the right position, they can exert more energy than you can imagine.
The excited Qin Feng only slept for two hours before he appeared in the weapon workshop of Daye City again, where he saw more things that excited him. The miniaturized 360-degree rotation of the crossbow has gotten rid of the Achilles' heel of slow fire in the past, and the winding has been changed to a crank, and its speed is comparable to that of an archer, but he is not affected by physical strength and arm strength like an archer. When Qin Feng saw that in a single breath, this extremely destructive crossbow arrow could actually shoot three crossbow arrows with a range of two hundred steps, his eyes widened. As an Emperor on the horse, he knew too well that on the battlefield, when such a crossbow bolt could shoot at such a speed, it would be an absolute nightmare for both infantry and cavalry.
Crossbow arrows and stone cannons have made greater progress than the batch that was originally equipped with the Perak battalion guarding Tzu Chi, and these are the ones that were ready to be equipped for the Ming army in batches.
With these weapons, there is no doubt that the already strong Ming army will have a higher level of combat effectiveness.
The Ming State took the route of elite soldiers, and compared with other countries, hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of troops, less than 100,000 soldiers and horses were really pitiful, but Qin Feng believed that the Ming army, armed to the teeth, could defeat an enemy several times their size on the battlefield.
In addition to offensive weapons, there is also the protection of soldiers. With Taiping Lake, Daye City has developed a huge hammer driven by water power, in the past, it was necessary to use a hammer hammer to knock out such a high-grade armor as Ming Guangkai, now it is forged with this hydraulic hammer, driven by water power, the iron felt is pulled up high, as the iron felt falls, in a bang, a thin iron plate placed on the mold is formed, the formed armor is taken out and quickly sent to the second process, the worker cuts off the excess part, and the worker in charge of the third step begins to punch holes. The worker turned the remote handle, and the threaded drill slowly drilled holes in the joints of the armor. After this step, the armor will be connected with silk tape, etc., and by this time, a pair of armor will be almost complete, and finally a soft cloth backing will be sewn inside, and it can be encapsulated and stored. The last two steps were done by some women.
This is the assembly line that Kim Sung-nam said. Each step was completed by the same part of the people, under the years of work, these people were extremely skilled in the part they wanted to complete, and they were extremely fast in doing things, just under Qin Feng's nose, in a short period of time, ten pairs of armor changed from a thin iron plate to the Ming Guangkai worn by the soldiers.
"You built Taiping Lake, and it still has this effect?" Qin Feng looked at Jin Shengnan with a smile, "I can't imagine that a Taiping Lake not only solves the problem of agricultural water, but also provides energy for these military workshops, how many such stamping and forging are there now?" ”
"Now there are more than a dozen, Daye City is preparing to build more, not only for forging Kai armor, but we are also preparing to use it to make knives and other weapons that have no special requirements." Jin Shengnan said: "This can save a lot of manpower and costs. We have calculated that if a knife is made in this way, the cost is only a quarter of the original, but the knife is the most common weapon, not only for regular field battalions, but also for local troops, government officials, etc., the amount is huge. ”
"That's true." Qin Feng nodded and said: "Our Daming is very good at making money, but we can open source, and we must also know how to throttle, there are too many places to use money." ”
"The reform of the rule of officials, this is throttling, issuing new coins, this is open source, compared to His Majesty's generosity, here in Daye City, it can only be regarded as a small fight." Jin Shengnan patted his ass without showing a trace.
"There are too many redundant officials and redundant officials, just taking money and not working, we can't tolerate it." Qin Feng said with a smile: "Although the reform of official governance is still in progress, according to statistics, about tens of thousands of people have been laid off across the country, do you know how much silver is saved every year?" Millions of taels of silver! Tell me, if you have these hundreds of taels of silver in the treasury, how many roads and how many bridges can you build? How many schools are opened? ”
"Your Majesty is right. In the past, when Xiaguan was a down-and-out talent in Changyang County, we were a small county there, so poor that there were hundreds of people who could eat official food, where did the money come from? Of course, it was extracted from the common people, but now in Daye City, the annual turnover in the account is millions of taels of silver, but in addition to the army, there are less than 100 officials who really take Shilu. ”
"Kim Sung-nam, do you think these officials are tired?" Qin Feng suddenly asked.
Jin Shengnan pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, it would be a bully to say that you are not tired, but you are tired and fulfilling!" What do people live for? A teacher in the past said that if a person lives, he must have ambitions, and if he doesn't even have lofty ambitions, what is the difference between him and a salted fish? It's better to dig a pit and bury yourself sooner. The officials of our Daye City choose to be promoted, in addition to talent, there is another one, then you have to have ambition, I told them, if you don't want to be an official of the city lord, you are not a qualified official. If you want to be the lord of the city and be in my position, you have to work hard, make achievements, take credit, and use the credit to compare the people who compete with you. ”
Qin Feng laughed: "Your teacher said it is funny, people have no ambition, so what's the difference between it and a salted fish?" Father-in-law Le, this sentence must be written down, and I will engrave it in the study when I go back, reminding myself that no matter when it comes, I must establish lofty ambitions, and if I complete one, I will set up another one. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minion remembers." Le Gonggong bent over.
Jin Shengnan's words really amused Qin Feng, and while walking outside the workshop with everyone, he patted Jin Shengnan on the shoulder: "You are an official here, if you don't want to be a city lord, you are not a good official, so for you, isn't it a city lord who doesn't want to be the first assistant, so you are not a good city lord?" If you don't want to be a county guard of the first assistant, is it not a good county guard? ”
Jin Shengnan and Fang Dazhi beside Qin Feng both laughed.
The age difference between the two is not much, Fang Daye is slightly older, but it is not yet forty, Jin Shengnan is only in his early thirties, one of the two is the city lord of Daye City, and the other is the county guard of Shayang County, as neighbors, they have cooperated in many aspects, but above the officialdom, both of them regard each other as their biggest competitors.
Shoufu Quan Yun is already in his fifties, if everything goes well, he can probably only be the first assistant for another ten years, of course, it is not ruled out that there will be other changes in the middle, and after ten years, the two of them will definitely become the backbone of officialdom, and the mainstay of the imperial court, Shoufu, will inevitably be produced among their group of officials. And in their age group, at least until now, only the two of them stand out.
Qin Feng's words seem to be unintentional, but the emperor's words, even if they are unintentional, must be considered in ordinary times, the speaker may not be intentional, and the listener will have a heart.
From this sentence, the two of them can almost conclude that in His Majesty's mind, the next candidate for the first assistant will most likely be produced among the two of them.
"The reform of official governance is the biggest difference between our Ming Dynasty and the former Yue, and even Qin Chuqi, if we want to enrich the country and strengthen the army, for us, this is a necessary step. And the issuance of the new currency is also very involved, but it is also an important step to lay the foundation for my Ming Dynasty, these two things, whether it is in Daye City or Shayang County, the two of you have done a good job. Qin Feng looked at the two young feudal officials and said slowly. The two of you, there are a lot of similarities, there are also different styles of doing things, coincidentally the two of you are neighbors, and then you have to work together to do a good job in the pilot work of the rail car, if successful, it will inevitably make us have a strong heart, I will wait and see. ”
This is the exam question, the two people's ability to govern the place, develop the economy, etc., has been vividly demonstrated in front of the emperor, but the next thing the emperor wants to examine is the ability of the two to cooperate.
In Jin Shengnan's words, if you don't want to be an official of the first assistant, then you can't be considered a good official, but there is only one first assistant. As a high-ranking official of the imperial court, there must not only be competition, but also cooperation. If you maliciously compete just for your own future, resulting in the failure to do what you should do, I am afraid that you will be put into another book by the emperor.
This is a huge topic, both to examine the ability of the two, but also to examine the virtue of the two, the emperor's intention is to promote this kind of rail car throughout the country, once the pilot is successful, it will be implemented, when the time comes, there will inevitably be someone to be in charge of this national work, who can sit in this position, I am afraid that it will be the next candidate for the first assistant.
The two glanced at each other, smiled and nodded at the same time, and clasped their fists together: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the two of us will work together to do this well." ”
"Good, good!" Qin Feng smiled and said: "I have gained a lot from this trip, Jin Shengnan, let's arrange a good meal in the evening, let's have a few drinks to our heart's content, tomorrow, I will leave Daye City." ”
