The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 8

After Liu Bian finished the deployment of the various fields, he silently clicked on the one-key smart construction, but the next moment, a row of prompts appeared in front of him:
Insufficient craftsmen, east of the river (unable to invest).

Insufficient craftsmen, Henan (unable to invest).

Insufficient craftsmen, the capital (unable to invest).

Insufficient craftsmen, Shannan (unable to invest).

Insufficient craftsmen, Lingnan (unable to invest).

Insufficient craftsmen, Hebei (unable to invest).

Insufficient craftsmen, Shandong (unable to invest).

Insufficient craftsmen, Jiangnan (unable to invest).

Liu Bian rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said in his heart: "After working together for a long time, the domestic craftsmen are only enough to build Longyou and Jiannan."

Liu Bian silently opened the column of the Ministry of Industry.

The next moment, a row of options appeared on the right side of the screen, from top to bottom: Weapon Manufacturing, Building Information, Arranging Construction, Recruiting Artisans, and Dismissing Artisans.

at the same time.

Zhong Lifu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, came out of the class and saluted: "Your Majesty Zhonglifu, I pay my respects."

Liu Bian looked up at Zhong Lifu, and opened the option to recruit craftsmen.

Seeing this, Zhonglifu bowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, there are about 99 strong men in the whole country, and there are about [-] craftsmen. Each craftsman needs a fee of one tael. I wonder how many craftsmen Your Majesty needs to recruit?"

Liu Bian frowned and thought for a while, and said, "The Ministry of Industry will immediately release a recruitment plan, and the state governments in all regions should actively cooperate. Just recruit [-] craftsmen for the time being."

"I obey the order." Zhonglifu saluted.

After arranging the recruitment of craftsmen, just as Liu Bian was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he was surprised to find that there were only 178 million taels left in the national treasury silver in the upper left corner of the screen.

"What's the situation? Shouldn't 8 taels of deposit be deducted for recruiting 2 craftsmen? Why was [-] taels deducted?" Liu Bian thought with a frown.

Liu Bian suddenly thought of something, so he silently opened the list of official positions. When he saw that the moral attributes of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were generally low, he had already guessed the answer.

"The god damn villain actually embezzled 2 taels of silver from me in one go."

Liu Bian was so angry that he gritted his teeth, wishing he could immediately tear up the group of dignified officials from the DPRK and China alive.

This is the evil result caused by the low morality of officials.

Liu Bian sighed helplessly, and finally checked the army's training situation. Seeing that the army's training value was only 27 points, he immediately waved his hand speechlessly and said, "Retire."

Liu Bian originally planned to conduct a national household census, but when he saw that all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were dead and vegetarian, he immediately lost interest in the household census.

"For the current plan, we can only hope for the selection of officials through the imperial examination." Liu Bian thought so.

In the next period of time, Liu Bian devoted most of his energy to the construction policies of various places and to improving his various capabilities.

A month later.

Liu Bian's various abilities have been significantly improved, especially in martial arts, which has reached 100 points.

On this day, it finally came to the day of the imperial examination. Liu Bian finished his morning court early and went to Huangji Hall to invigilate the examination in a chariot.

The test results this time were very unsatisfactory. Liu Bian finally selected two officials with reasonable attributes based on the idea of ​​picking out the big ones from the short ones.

This time, Liu Bian hand-picked the number one scholar in the imperial examination. His name was Li Fangshi. His test scores were: 58 in martial arts, 44 in liberal arts, and 58 in character.

The role model for this palace examination is named Tuoba Teng, and his test scores are: 51 in martial arts, 59 in liberal arts, and 47 in character.

"The rate of getting a famous official in the imperial examination is 2%." Thinking of the probability of getting a famous official, Liu Bian felt a headache for a while.

"The ancients once said: Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. Now it seems that what the ancients said is not all true." Liu Bian thought so.

Liu Bian said to Zhuge Yan in dismay: "I won't see them anymore, let them go home and wait for orders."

Zhuge Yan naturally understood who they were referring to in Liu Bian's mouth, so he immediately bowed and said: "Your servant obeys the order."

"Recently I feel exhausted physically and mentally. I just want to have a good rest today. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do." After leaving a sentence, Liu Bian returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a chariot.

After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Liu Bian fell asleep and slept for a day and a night.

When Liu Bian woke up again, it was already the time when the rooster crowed the next morning.

Liu Bian put his hands under his head and murmured to himself, "It's been so long since I've slept, but I still feel a sense of powerlessness, oh, I'm so tired."

He has only been the emperor for a few months, and Liu Bian has been tossed about. This feeling of having nowhere to use his energy makes him feel very uncomfortable.

You can't kill all the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, can you?If you really do that, then who will work for me?What's more, he still can't do it.

The forces in the DPRK and China are intertwined, and one pull can move the whole body, which is not so easy to move.

Liu Bian lay on the bed in a daze for a long time, until Zhuge Yan came in to say hello, and then he sat up silently.

Liu Bian silently glanced at Zhuge Yan, and said in a long voice on purpose: "Shangchao—"

Hearing this, Zhuge Yan immediately yelled in the voice of a male duck: "Your Majesty moved to the Xuanzheng Hall—"

In the early dynasty, Liu Bian immediately dismissed Lei Jingxin, the Minister of Rites with only 36 points of morality, and then pushed Li Fangshi to the position of Minister of Rites despite all opinions.

Not long ago, Dai Zhiqun's mother passed away suddenly, Dai Zhiqun had no choice but to go home for the funeral, so Liu Bian had no choice but to temporarily promote Lei Jingxin, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, to the position of Minister of Rites.

Now that Liu Bian has obtained Li Fangshi with more comprehensive abilities and attributes through the imperial examination, he no longer looks at Lei Jingxin who is a vegetarian in the corpse. Still looks pretty good.

Strength 53, Wisdom 39, Domination 53, Politics 33, Ambition 41, Morality 53, Charisma 52, Loyalty 55, Age 33.

This attribute is definitely among the top among the military officials in North Korea and Chinese.

The attribute values ​​of the civil and military officials of the Great Xia court are really hard to describe.

Liu Bian then replaced Yingbang, the prefect of Shandong, with Tuoba Teng, the second place in the new ranking. The attribute value of this Shandong prefect is simply unbearable. His morality is only 33 points, and the other attributes are basically around 35 points. hovering.

Although Tuoba Teng's attribute values ​​are not much better, compared to Yingbang who is a vegetarian, Tuoba Teng's various attribute values ​​are not too impressive.

The attributes of Tuoba Teng are: force 46, wisdom 53, domination 37, politics 54, ambition 57, morality 42, charisma 54, loyalty 56, age 36.

Liu Bian really couldn't bear to continue to check the attributes of civil and military officials. He was afraid of dirtying his eyes, so he immediately closed the list of official positions, quickly arranged a wave of governance policies for various places, and immediately announced his withdrawal from the court.

After retiring from the imperial court, Zhuge Yan came to Liu Bian with a stack of books in his hand, and said, "Sir, Li Sheng, the general soldier of Longyou, heard that the master has been studying hard recently, so he specially ordered someone to send a book to the master. A set of literary classics, Li Sheng said that this set of classics is an isolated copy from the previous dynasty, and the master will definitely like it when he sees it."

"Oh?" Liu Bian immediately became interested when he heard the words. He grabbed the books and flipped through them on the way back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a chariot.

The beginning of the book successfully attracted Liu Bian's attention. After he read it at a glance, a line of prompts suddenly appeared in front of him: Reading the only book of the previous dynasty, the harvest is very fruitful, literature +17, physical strength -9.

Seeing this, Liu Bian immediately clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "There are unexpected gains."
