Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 943
The two people mentioned by Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, one is accomplished in farming, and the other is a master of bridge repair.

In addition to these two, there are people who study steam engines. Among them, Li Dejian is a literati, but the rest of the great achievements, [-]% are former blacksmiths, and the three outstanding three can only be said to be blacksmiths who can read.

When Tang Jian heard this, he immediately said: "Sage, I made a judgment before, ghost workers are scholars."

"Okay!" Li Shimin nodded, obviously this has already had a good start, and continued to ask: "Then, those who are not good enough, such as students who are studying, are learning the art of ghost work, but want to become ghosts." If you don’t have 30 years of hard work, even if you have a small achievement, you’re afraid that there’s still a gap between ghost workers.”

"This..." None of the three dared to answer.

After Li Shimin broke the barriers of small farmers in the Tang Dynasty, it was obvious that he wanted to completely change the pattern of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin continued: "Let's talk about merchants. In the past, merchants were said to be cheap, and speculators were hateful, but whether there were any righteous merchants in the Tang Dynasty, and whether there were merchants that benefited the people. This ship is not a merchant."

Strictly speaking, Bosi is business, another form of business.

This identification has been recognized throughout the Tang Dynasty, whether it is aristocrats or ordinary people, it is a consensus.

"Also." Only then did Li Shimin express what he was thinking: "Some people don't want to farm, are not good at farm work, and can't read the classics to find out any talents, but they can be excellent ship managers. It should be recorded."

"Indeed." Fang Xuanling understood the situation, so he did not avoid it.

Li Shimin asked again: "An excellent ship manager must be literate, able to read and write, proficient in arithmetic, familiar with astronomy, geography, local customs, and human skills. Such a person may never They will go to farm again, and it may not be suitable to be an official, so what about their identities."

Before the three ministers could speak, Li Shimin asked again: "The first yarn workshop in Cixi County, I remember that the manager of that yarn workshop was about 50 years old. He is not good enough to be an official. , but the 3 yarn machines in the yarn mill and the [-] people inside and outside are in charge of it, isn't this talent?"

"The ministers need public discussion." Fang Xuanling did not dare to answer.

Li Shimin's meaning is obvious, this is to change the hierarchical structure of Datang, how much can be changed, and how to change it.

The world is discussing, how to discuss next.

Li Shimin can be said to have given Tang Chaotang a difficult problem, which is quite difficult.

You said yes, isn’t the manager of the No. 3 Yarn Workshop, which has managed [-] people, a talent? Such a person is considered a worker or a scholar?

Cui Junsu said at this time: "Sage, have you ever thought that music, painting, cooking, medicine, etc. are not actually included in scholars, farmers, industry, and commerce."

"Qing, I am very pleased."

"Then I understand, this matter really needs to be discussed carefully. I have a family matter that I want to tell the saint."

Fang Xuanling and Tang Jian were somewhat surprised when Cui Junsu said that there was a family matter.

Li Shimin motioned the three of them to sit down: "Speak slowly, I am very happy to be able to talk about family matters with you."

Cui Junsu sat down and said: "The sage, the minister's son, and several nephews, don't want to come out to be an official. My son has been writing for several months, and every ten days or so, he will send a letter to ask the minister. [-]. The second ship division is not ready to be established, so why hasn't it recruited people publicly?"

"I don't remember this matter anymore. I only know that the Oceanic Two Ships Division was temporarily in charge of the maritime trade with the Mediterranean Sea and beyond the Mediterranean Sea. It seems that the personnel were transferred from the East Port and the West Port."

Cui Junsu continued: "Sage, I didn't ask about this matter. What I mean is that I can be regarded as a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty, but my son doesn't want to be an official. He just wants to work with the boss. The other sons and nephews , one of them is staying in Huating, and I hope that my nephew can recommend him to be an apprentice foreman in the second linen weaving workshop in Cixi."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

Although Cui Junsu said that he wanted to discuss it just now, he actually told the Emperor Datang about this family matter.

Getting ahead is not just about being an official.

Then, Datang will face another kind of shock next. No one intends to guess what kind of changes this shock will bring, because the result of guessing cannot be used as a reference for government affairs.

At this time, Li Shimin asked again: "The Ministry of Household Affairs will issue an official document on the birth rate of each state capital this year, so that each state capital will pay more attention to it."

"Yes." Cui Junsu bowed.

Li Shimin waved his hand lightly, and the three courtiers left.

On the other side, Willow.

Liumu was lying on the beach. Feng An named this island Rongnan Island, which means Rongshou Datang South Sea Guard.The name of this island in later generations is Riau Island.

Su Dingfang originally named this place Nancy Island, because countless tin mines were discovered on this island.

No matter what it is called, this is the north entrance of the Temasek Strait and the south exit of the Datang South China Sea.The main island is almost as large as the urban area of ​​Chang'an, which is more than 3000 square kilometers according to the calculation of later generations.

Chang'an, together with its surrounding areas, covers an area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers.

Sitting alone on the beach, Liu Mu kept dialing the abacus, writing down some numbers from time to time.

For several days in a row, Liumu was like this.

The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, who was cruising in Nanyang, went back to Lingnan to replenish and repair the ship. When he passed by the North Port of Poluo State, he heard that Liu Mu had returned, so he specially ordered the fleet to go to Rongnan Island.

Wearing a linen floral shirt, knee-length dark blue beach pants, wooden soles made of hemp sandals, a pair of dark stone mirrors on the bridge of the nose, and a hemp woven straw hat dyed bright red , with a cigar in his mouth and a silver flagon in his hand.

Such a person walked towards Liu Mu swaggeringly, but Liu Mu couldn't recognize who it was after watching a full cup of tea.

"Hahaha, have I become younger?"

what.

Only then did Liu Mu realize that he couldn't believe it at all, the old man in front of him was the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan sat on Liumu's beach chair with a laugh, drank Liumu's coconut in two gulps, and then shouted: "Bring some more coconuts for Teng, and a bottle of light wine."

After a maid trotted to deliver what Li Yuan wanted, Shi Li withdrew.

Liu Mu sat on the newly moved beach chair and complimented Li Yuan: "Father looks very good, indeed, he still has the same demeanor."

"Happy. When people are happy, they are naturally in good spirits. A few days ago, someone was upset with me. I taught them the rules. It was the island I discovered first, but they insisted that it belonged to them. At first, I thought it was an occupation. I went to someone else's place, but some people came, and I finally figured it out."

　Suddenly found that the new book is quite interesting,

　　Modify it, register a small account in a few days, and send it out for everyone to see. If there are too many people scolding, then it will be abolished.
