In the twelfth year of Datang Zhenguan, April 18, the Datang Science and Technology Research Temple was finally completed, and it is very strange that the Science and Technology Research Temple is not in Chang'an City, but at the foot of a small hill twenty or thirty miles south of Chang'an City, which seems to be called Cuihua Mountain.

Li Hao received a notice to take office, rode a fast horse and went, set off from home in the morning and arrived at noon, not far, but not close.

Outside the research temple, Li Hao was stunned, only to see the huge research temple only saw a layer of high walls, no, it is the city wall, yes, it is the city wall, because there are soldiers patrolling it, every ten zhang is a sentry, if there are trees, every two zhang is a sentry, and these sentry posts are all Jin Wuwei, from these Jin Wuwei can be seen, Li Shimin attaches great importance to this science and technology research temple.

Before Li Hao approached the temple gate, the four Jin Wuwei guarding the door suddenly raised their spears and shouted: "Study the temple and the important place, idle people, etc., Hugh has to get close!" As soon as the words fell, a row of strong archers appeared above the gatehouse, all pointing at Li Hao with bows and arrows.

Seeing this, Li Hao was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he hurriedly raised his hand and said repeatedly: "Don't let go of the arrow!" Don't let go of the arrows! I'm Siqing Li Hao! ”

"What credentials?" An armored general suddenly walked out of the gatehouse and shouted at Li Hao.

Li Hao hurriedly held up his letter and token and said, "This is the official disk and token of this official!" ”

A Jin Wuwei below walked over quickly and took the letter and token from his hand and looked at it, then turned back to the armored general on the city tower and said, "General Li, it is indeed the Siqing token and the letter." ”

The armored general hurriedly walked down the city tower, opened the gate and came to Li Hao, personally checked the official seal and letters, then turned around and asked them all to put away their weapons, and arched his hand at Li Hao: "It's really Li Siqing, offended." ”

"Where, where." Li Hao smiled dryly and waved his hand, then looked at the tall armored general in front of him, and asked, "I don't know what the general is called, and what is the official position?" ”

General Armor said: "Zuo Jin Wuwei folded the commander of the capital, led the rank of captain of Zhaowu, Li Yuanzhong." ”

"Wow, it's six pins!" Hearing this, Li Hao hurriedly bowed his hand, "Meet General Li." ”

"Don't, don't!" Li Yuanzhong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Li Siqing, Your Majesty has explained, saying that although your official position is low, you are directly under the emperor's orders and are not subject to the control of the ministers. ”

"Wow, I'm so awesome?" Li Hao was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

Li Yuanzhong said again: "Your Majesty has also explained, let us be sure to protect your thoughtfulness, from now on, I will receive thirty gold guards to protect Lord Siqing day and night." ”

"No, no, no." Li Hao waved his hand with a smile and said, "I have bodyguards, I have bodyguards, don't bother." ”

Li Yuanzhong shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty said that you must let the lowly official personally protect your safety." ”

Li Hao's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, is this special protection? Monitor it, although he was very disgusted with Li Shimin's approach, he was helpless, so he could only smack his lips and say, "Let's go in first, let me see how it goes." ”

"Yes!" Li Yuanzhong commanded the leader and waved his hand, "Get out of the way!" The four Jin Wuwei who were blocking the door immediately flashed to the side and made way for Li Hao.

Li Hao walked into the compound of the Research Temple, only to see a palace-like building in front of him, although not very luxurious, but very large, Li Yuanzhong pointed to this palace-like building, and said: "This is the temple office, it is a place for you to deal with official business and rest." ”

"Oh." Li Hao nodded, he had no intention of going in, anyway, he didn't plan to work here, of course he didn't care about this.

At this time, Jin Wuwei, who was guarding outside, suddenly shouted again: "Research the temple and the important land, idle people, etc., Hugh has to be close!" ”

Li Hao and Li Yuanzhong were slightly shocked when they heard this, and they all thought to themselves, who is here again? So they turned around and looked out of the door, only to see a middle-aged man in a dark blue official uniform standing in the distance, and said in a loud voice: "I am Ma Zhou, the supervisor of the Datang Science and Technology Research Temple, and I am ordered to supervise the Research Temple." ”

Li Hao was shocked when he heard this, is this bearded middle-aged man in front of him Ma Zhou, he has checked Ma Zhou, he is a talented person with both talent and morality, don't look at him now he is just a small supervising imperial history, and he will pay homage to the prime minister in the future.

"Please show the official seal." Jin Wuwei outside the door shouted orders.

Ma Zhou took out his official plate and official seal, and a Jin Wuwei stepped forward to check, and after confirming that it was correct, he returned the official seal of the official dish to Ma Zhou, and bowed his hand and said: "Meet the Lord of the Prison Temple, where the villain's duty is, where the offense lies, please Haihan." ”

Ma Zhou waved his hand and said indifferently: "The Science and Technology Research Institute is an important place in the country, and His Majesty attaches great importance to it. ”

After he finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked to the gate of the research institute, came to the door and saw Li Hao, looked Li Hao up and down, and then arched his hand: "This must be Master Li Shimad of Siqing." ”

Li Hao returned the salute: "Master Ma has good eyesight, he is a kid." ”

Li Yuanzhong also bowed his hand: "Meet the Master of the Prison Temple." ”

"General Li tormented me." Ma Zhou returned the salute, and then looked at Li Hao, "Lord Li has just arrived?" ”

Li Hao nodded and smiled: "Yes, I just arrived, and I was almost stepped on by you." ”

Ma Zhou was stunned when he heard this, obviously not used to his semi-humorous words, but fortunately, Ma Zhou was very smart, and immediately understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Master Li is very funny." ”

Li Hao said: "Master Ma don't want to call the kid like this, the kid can't get used to it, so call me a poet." ”

Ma Zhou smiled and nodded: "Since that's the case, then how about you call me King Bin." ”

"Okay, King Bin, happy cooperation in the future." When it comes to chatting, Li Hao is naturally familiar, as long as he doesn't meet a master like Li Shimin who can't chat, he will basically not be cold.

Ma Zhou is actually a very old-fashioned person, but he is different from the average old-fashioned, he does not refuse new things, on the contrary, he likes new things very much, he just has an old-fashioned personality, but I don't know why, he and Li Hao chatted in two simple sentences, quite relaxed and happy, not seeing the usual old-fashioned, he suddenly found that he likes such a casual feeling very much.

"Cooperation...... Happy ......" Ma Zhou has never heard this word, and it is a bit awkward to say it.

Li Hao said: "In the future, there will be a lot of inventions here that will change the Tang Dynasty and even change the world, I think I'm a little excited, King Bin, let's go in and have a look." ”

"Okay." Ma Zhou nodded, and the three of them began to wander around the research temple.

The research temple is quite large, covering an area of about 70 acres, according to Li Hao's suggestion, it is divided into: scientific research room, experimental department, and production department.

The research department is mainly responsible for scientific research innovation and invention, while the experimental department is responsible for putting the ideas of the research room into practice, and as for the production department, it is the production workshop.

The scientific research room is divided into miscellaneous affairs and military affairs, and there are currently five senior craftsmen in the scientific research room, all of whom have been recruited from the Ministry of Industry, and all of them have official positions, although the positions are very low, but at least they are official positions.

There are currently twenty-five people in the experimental department, and they are also craftsmen transferred from the Ministry of Industry, and there are eighty-nine craftsmen in the production department, who are temporarily recruited by the Ministry of Industry.

However, Li Hao snorted disdainfully when he heard this salary, it was only three times a month, and the salary he gave Lu Zhi had risen to twenty times a month, even the ordinary craftsmen in the family had five times a month, in comparison, Li Shimin was really stingy.

Although there are not many craftsmen in the scientific research temple, but there are many people, why, because there are a lot of Jin Wuwei inside, you can see a group of three Jin Wuwei patrolling back and forth everywhere, all over every corner of the scientific research institute, there is no dead end, which makes Li Hao feel so stressed, Li Shimin attaches so much importance to the scientific research temple, if he can't get the research results, wouldn't it be very embarrassing.

After walking around, I have a general understanding of the scientific research temple, and the next thing is to take office, since I want to take office, I first have to meet my subordinates, Li Hao summoned the people from the scientific research room and the experimental department to the open space in front of the temple, lined up in three rows.

The precept began, Li Hao put his hands behind his back, glanced at them, and said slowly: "Craftsmen, my surname is Li, my name is Hao, the word poetry maniac, the current position of Datang Science and Technology Research Temple, that is, your Shangguan, from now on, this official will work with you here to study and create tools for the benefit of the people and the Tang Dynasty, I am the first time to be an official, I have no experience, I hope you will cooperate well, don't block me, because if you block me, I will be angry, I am angry, you naturally have no good life." ”

His speech was like child's play, which made all the craftsmen present laugh, and the atmosphere in the venue was a little lively.

Li Hao continued: "I know, when you enter here, it will be difficult to get out, but I see that everyone seems to be in a good mood now, that is good, a good mood will be inspired, as a person who is engaged in invention, you must have enough inspiration, whether it is a scientific research room or an experimental department, as long as you have any good ideas, you can come to tell me, everyone work together to create more inventions." ”

Ma Zhou, who was on the side, couldn't help it, walked next to Li Hao, and whispered in his ear: "The snake can't be without a head." ”

This sentence reminded Li Hao, Li Hao nodded and smiled at him, then turned around and looked at everyone, and said: "Everyone, there is a way that a snake has no head, whether it is a scientific research room or an experimental department, there must be a leader to plan as a whole, so that the work can go smoothly, who is willing to recommend himself as a leader, declare in advance, the leader is not so easy to do, once there is an accident, you must bear the primary responsibility, but as a leader, you will have more money every month." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all turned their heads and ears, but no one volunteered, thinking that they were frightened by taking responsibility.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a beard in the scientific research room suddenly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Adult, villain Han Xuan, willing to give it a try." ”

Li Hao looked at him, and saw that he was dignified, not very old, and good-looking, so he nodded and said: "Okay, then you will temporarily take the position of director of the scientific research office, and the probation period will be three months, and after three months, your subordinates will vote to decide whether you can become the official director of the scientific research office." ”

"Yes." Han Xuan bowed down to receive the order and retreated into the queue.

With Han Xuan, a budding bird, someone in the team of the experimental department immediately came out and arched his hand: "Adult, the villain Lu Daliang recommended himself." ”

Li Hao looked at this Lu Daliang, he was very short, dark-skinned, thick hands and feet, and he was estimated to be more than thirty, less than forty. Li Hao nodded again: "Okay, Lu Daliang, you temporarily take the two positions of the head of the experimental department and the head of the production department, responsible for all matters in the experimental department and the production department, of course, your salary is added twice a month, and the probation period is also three months, and after three months, your subordinates will vote to decide whether you are qualified for this position." ”

"Thank you, sir."
