The imperial capital of Qi State, Chang'an.
Today's Chang'an City in Qi State has been expanded and the outer city has been built. After all, more and more people are gathering in Chang'an, so that even now, it is impossible not to expand Chang'an City.
The whole city of Chang'an is extremely lively with people coming and going. It is said that the weather is cold in November, but the city of Chang'an in November does not seem so depressed. There are still many merchants traveling to and from Chang'an.
In Beicheng, inside the Cabinet Office.
Zhu Shanchang is busy reviewing many government affairs.
After all, Wang Qi was away on an expedition, and Zhu Shanchang was responsible for handling most of the government affairs. After all, the one-year imperial examination and the promotion of many scholars, these government affairs are extremely complicated.
Fortunately, various departments and the cabinet share the burden, so that Zhu Shanchang will not be completely surrounded by mountains and seas of government affairs. Even so, Zhu Shanchang is always busy until very late on weekdays before returning home to rest. Many times, he even rests directly in the office.
This is something that can¡¯t be helped. Who made him the chief minister of the cabinet?
If he doesn¡¯t want to do it, there are plenty of people who will.
??For civil servants, arriving at the head of the cabinet is the pinnacle of life.
When Zhu Shanchang was reviewing government affairs, an attendant came in and reported: "Your Excellency, Minister Mo of the Ministry of Industry is here to see you."
"Please quickly."
Zhu Shanchang gave an order.
For Zhu Shanchang, Mo Liu from the Ministry of Industry is quite important. Mo Liu has little influence in government affairs, but there are many researchers in the Ministry of Industry, and many technologies are developed from the Ministry of Industry.
Whether it¡¯s telescopes, glass, or even cement, or railroad tracks, or trains, these can change the entire country of Qi.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? All come from the Ministry of Industry.
So far, the railway track from Chang'an to Luoyang has been built and laid, and the trial operation phase has begun. In addition, the cement road from Chang'an to Luoyang has also been paved.
Because of the presence of gunpowder, even if the road construction encounters rocks, the road can be opened across the mountains.
So the traffic in Guanzhong has been completely opened. Relying on the existence of trains, it is much easier to transport materials and resources today.
This is the advantage of having a train.
Zhu Shanchang watched the Qi Kingdom change bit by bit, and he also felt full of pride in his heart. Because Qi is now in his hands and in the hands of all officials, it is constantly changing, and this change is getting better and better.
And the Ministry of Industry is indispensable here.
Not long after, Mo Liu entered.
Mo Liu bowed and saluted Zhu Shanchang, and said: "I am the lower official, Mo Liu, to pay my respects to Mr. Chief Assistant."
Zhu Shanchang said: "Mr. Mo, don't be too polite. What's the matter with you? It's okay to say it?"
Mo Liu said: "Master Chief Assistant, I am here today because our Ministry of Industry has made further progress in research on trains. Today's trains can reach a speed of one hundred miles an hour."
"This speed can be said to be a great improvement. Just imagine, in the past, traveling a hundred miles a day was considered a rapid march, and only a very powerful army could achieve it. But now, it only takes an hour."
"Especially today's coal-fired steam locomotives have stronger transportation power and can carry more carriages. So in my opinion, they can be built in large numbers across the country."
"At least, the main roads between the state offices of each state must be paved with rails. Our Ministry of Industry has accumulated a lot of experience because it built the road from Chang'an to Luoyang. Now the craftsmen below are rich in experience and ability. good."
¡°If you want to build a large-scale road, you can use all the people who built the road. They have rich experience and strong response capabilities, and can avoid many detours.¡±
Mo Liu talked eloquently and explained quickly.
He was also very happy inside.
Because every innovation in the Ministry of Industry has promoted the development of Qi State, it has also enabled Qi State to stand firm.
Zhu Shanchang praised: "Mr. Mo, I will coordinate and coordinate the construction of railways to various state offices as soon as possible. After all, this matter also involves local planning. Well, generally speaking, I will try to push it forward within a month. "
Mo Liudao: "How to proceed is your business, the Chief Assistant. I can only make suggestions. In short, wherever my Ministry of Industry needs it, the Chief Assistant can arrange it."
Zhu Shanchang nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your support."
Mo Liu shook his head and said: "All of this is under the guidance of His Majesty. If His Majesty hadn't given us the books, even though our Ministry of Works had said?No skilled craftsman can make so many weapons. "
After a pause, Mo Liu said: "Zhu Shoufu, the second thing I want to do here is about the innovation of weapons. The Ministry of Industry is constantly improving firearms. We plan to optimize the rifle and create a firearm that can shoot continuously. But now, we need greater support in this area. Do you think you can allocate some funds? After all, it costs a lot to make new weapons."
Zhu Shanchang said: "Mr. Mo, for such a matter, you draw up the regulations and I will approve it. Your Majesty has always said that you want the Ministry of Industry to develop, so you don't have to worry about the memorial being stuck."
Mo Liu suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you Zhu Shoufu."
He said no more, stood up and left.
After Mo Liu left, Zhu Shanchang continued to review government affairs. Not long after, another soldier came in and reported: "To the chief minister, there is a letter sent back by your majesty."
Zhu Shanchang said quickly: "Come up expressly."
The soldier handed over the letter directly.
Zhu Shanchang took it and quickly opened the letter. He saw the content in the letter, which was that Wang Qi successfully captured Baixiang Kingdom, and Zhu Shanchang was also happy about it.
Baixiang State is located in the southwest of Qi State.
Its territory is not small.
When Qi State captured Baixiang State, the entire territory of Qi State would further expand.
??This is something everyone would like to see happen.
Zhu Shanchang continued to read. At the back of the letter, Wang Qi asked Zhu Shanchang to dispatch scholars and capable people to serve in Baixiang Kingdom, responsible for adjusting the public opinion of Baixiang Kingdom.
Zhu Shanchang thought quickly in his mind. It was obvious that the governance of Baixiang State required talents from Qi State. Fortunately, many talents have been selected through the imperial examinations in recent years, so Zhu Shanchang is not worried.
If there is no imperial examination, it will be really difficult to arrange.
Zhu Shanchang thought for a moment and arranged for someone to notify the cabinet members to enter. When Lan Yu and other cabinet members arrived at the office, Zhu Shanchang looked around at everyone and said: "Just now, His Majesty has arranged for someone to send a letter back."
"His Majesty's letter stated that he has landed in Jisri City of Baixiang Kingdom, and that the power of the Haixi Empire in Baixiang Kingdom has been wiped out. In addition, Baixiang Kingdom has also submitted a petition to surrender."
"The problem we are facing now is the local governance of Baixiang Country."
"The territory of Baixiang Kingdom is extremely vast, far exceeding that of Goguryeo, Xianbei and Japan. Just one or two people will definitely not be enough. Now, Your Majesty has asked us to transport scholars to govern Baixiang Kingdom. What suggestions do you have?"
As the second assistant of the cabinet, Lan Yu heard Zhu Shanchang's words, thought about it, and took the initiative: "Zhu First Assistant, in my opinion, this year's imperial examination talents can be sent directly."
"For the time being, this group of outstanding scholars have not been assigned to the local government. Now, we are letting them go to the White Elephant Kingdom to display their ambitions. Of course, we also need to recruit a group of people who are capable and even have proven abilities."
"Therefore, we select a group of county magistrates with outstanding political achievements from all over the world. Originally, these people were to be promoted. Now, they are all entrusted with important tasks and sent to Baixiang Kingdom to govern the local areas."
Lan Yu said: "In this case, there will be a lot of people."
Zhu Shanchang nodded after hearing this.
Lan Yu¡¯s suggestion is quite feasible.
I wouldn¡¯t say it¡¯s particularly difficult.
Yuan Cang said: "Zhu Shoufu, I agree with Master Lan's suggestion. The advantage of this arrangement is that there are backbones and many scholars who can experience it."
The rest of the people nodded.
After everyone expressed their opinions, Zhu Shanchang said directly: "In that case, let's make arrangements directly. The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the evaluation and let the Ministry of Personnel list the candidates. The number of personnel sent this time is set at 200 people. A few of them were originally serving in the local area. People with outstanding abilities. Most of them are scholars who stand out in the imperial examination this year."
Lan Yu smiled and said: "Zhu Shoufu's move must be praised by countless scholars. After all, if it is just the imperial examination, the court can select very few people, and only a few people can really be trained and arranged. Now they are all sent to Baixiang Kingdom, Then everyone will have the opportunity to display their abilities. This is also their opportunity."
Zhu Shanchang said: "That's true."
He didn¡¯t say much, and directly drafted a note and handed it over to the Minister of Civil Affairs. He quickly selected the top scholars in this imperial examination, selected outstanding county magistrates from various places, and prepared all arrangements for travel.
