Chapter 843 It’s not your turn to do the work that requires people, money, and treatment! Daqin Craftsman School!
When he was a boy, Liu Ji often fantasized.
Imagine that he can become a contemporary hero like Zhu Hai and Hou Ying, and have a benefactor like Lord Xinling.
On weekdays, his benefactor treated him as if he were a close friend, drinking, drinking, chatting and laughing.
At the critical moment, he drew his sword and used his passion and talent to imitate the savior in fire and water, creating a great story.
Three cups of Turanuo, the five mountains are insignificant! After the eyes are dazzled and the ears are hot, the spirit is full!
How happy that would be!
In order to realize his fantasy, Liu Ji, a young man, packed up his bags and embarked on the road to find his benefactor.
After all the ups and downs, Liu Ji finally found a benefactor who treated him like a best friend, but he embarked on a path completely different from his fantasy!
When Liu Ji took over the patternless veneer crown handed over by Meng Yi, Liu Ji's eyes were still blank.
Liu just followed the instructions of Lord Chang'an and did some things within his scope.
Liu has never presented a clever plan to steal a talisman like Hou Ying, nor has he risked being convicted of rebellion for his benefactor and killed his country's general with a heavy hammer like Zhu Hai. How can he get a hairpin? The Duke of Niao was so valued by the King of Qin!
Seeing that Liu Ji neither stepped back nor spoke, but seemed dazed and dazed, Ying Chengyu took the initiative to take Liu Ji's crown from his hands, and then raised his hand to remove Liu Ji's black cloth.
Taking the wooden comb from the soldier's hand and combing Liu Ji's hair carefully, Ying Chengqiao smiled and said, "I am quite experienced when it comes to wearing crowns."
"Liu Ji Sir, you should also practice as a good student.”
"Nowadays, this hairpin-shaped plate crown is relatively simple and easier to wear."
"But in a few years, Mr. Liu will be promoted to nobility again, so it will be difficult to wear the plate crown!"
>
The confusion in Liu Ji's eyes was finally replaced by agility and emotion.
Looking up at Ying Chengyu who was standing in front of him and wearing a knight's crown for him, Liu Ji did not hide his voice and said with utmost sincerity: "Liu will always remember your kindness. ! ”
“This kindness will be repaid in the future!”
Looking down at the sincerity and determination in Liu Ji's eyes, Ying Chengyu had some doubts about his own judgment for a moment.
Could this loyal man in front of me really be the Emperor of the Han Dynasty?
It doesn’t look like it!
But Ying Chengxuan soon put aside his doubts and speculations.
Is it important whether Liu Ji is Liu Bang or not?
Anyway, Ying Chengxuan didn't value Liu Ji so much because of Liu Bang, but promoted him because of his abilities and contributions!
Ying Chengqiao smiled warmly and said: "Then it will be easy to work hard. When you have free time, you can practice more literary and martial arts."
"I look forward to entrusting more important responsibilities to Liu in the future. Sir!”
Tucking a few strands of Liu Ji’s hair back into a bun, Ying Chengyu fixed the crown with a hairpin, took two steps back and looked up and down at Liu Ji who had put on the crown. , nodded with satisfaction: "After wearing the plate crown, it becomes even more handsome!"
Liu Ji's eyes were sparkling, but he had an exaggerated smile on his face, leaning back slightly, laughing loudly : "Liu, I think so too!"
Although the current situation is getting further and further away from the dream of childhood.
But this situation is even more joyful!
Ying Chengyu patted Liu Ji's shoulder in an unruly but affectionate manner, and asked Liu Ji to retreat first, then turned around and shouted: "Master Qi!"
Master Qi Ai immediately He stepped forward, cupped his hands and called out: "My lord, the great craftsman Qi Ai, pay homage to the king! Meet the Lord of Chang'an!"
Ying Chengxuan said seriously: "The great craftsman Qi Ai has made great contributions to the development of the blast furnace! ”
"I beg your Majesty to give me a generous reward!"
Qi Ai raised his hand and saluted again: "I would like to report to your Majesty, although I have contributed some construction skills, but the construction skills are not possessed by me alone. It was made by many craftsmen after careful consideration.”
“Please give me a reward for your courage!”
Ying Zheng smiled and asked: “Oh?”
"What reward do you want for Duke Qi?"
Qi Ai said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chang'an said that the skill of blast furnace is not worth specializing in."
"I think so too!"
"The art of steelmaking conceived by Mr. Chang'an, I think I will definitely be able to achieve the feat, but I have little wisdom, so I have to learn a lot.”
“I boldly ask the king to assign more craftsmen to Lantian Workshop to help me and others study the art of steelmaking. "
"This will help us realize the art of steelmaking as soon as possible and help our country no longer be trapped by steel!"
Qi Ai knew very well that it was a great blessing for him to be granted the title of public servant without having beheaded a single person.
Could he still be awarded the title of Zuo Shuchang or even the title of Young Master just for assisting Ying Chengxuan in studying craftsmanship?
The brave generals in the army are probably going crazy!
So Qi Ai hopes to exchange his title for something useful for his research. This will not only help Ying Chengyu, but also give Ying Zheng a step up and help him go faster. Better research done.
The best of all three, why not?
However, Ying Chengyu glanced at Qi Ai speechlessly, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is my advice."
"But Master Qi made it known to me first!"
Qi Ai's eyes were stunned, and he subconsciously looked at Ying Chengyu, but he was met with Ying Chengyu's dissatisfied gaze.
I am still alive!
It’s not your turn to do the work that requires people, money and treatment!
Ying Zheng was a little amused when he saw this, but he turned to Zhao Cheng and asked: "How many craftsmen can the young master be able to spare?"
Zhao Cheng raised his hands with a bitter look on his face and said: "Report to your Majesty, the young master will be young in recent years. The government not only needs to complete the construction responsibilities as in previous years, but also needs to build more arrows and weapons for the army to use. "In addition, it also needs to build enough Chang'an plows and Chang'an chariots for the entire Qin Dynasty. To create Chang'an paper and many other creations that are enough to be sold all over the world."
"The craftsmen who will be the Shaofu are already stretched thin, and many craftsmen only had one day off last year for the wax festival. "
"Don't hide it from your Majesty!" Zhao Cheng said sincerely: "I even want to ask Lord Chang'an to return some of the craftsmen who were lent to the Shaofu."
"Young Master Jiang Zuo really can't allocate more craftsmen to Lantian Workshop to reinforce Lord Chang'an!"
Studying the art of steelmaking is indeed very important.
But it is equally important to make guns, swords, arrows and crossbows, and it is also necessary to make Chang'an plows and various agricultural tools.
It’s not that Zhao Cheng can’t distinguish between priorities, nor is he deliberately disobeying Ying Zheng’s orders, but he really can’t get anyone out!
Qi Ai hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think that if the general's position as young master is really unable to recruit craftsmen to reinforce us, we may be able to train our own craftsmen."
"I have observed that the Great King built the Qin Military Academy only a few years ago, but it only used dozens of great sages to cultivate many talents for the Qin Dynasty."
Qi Ai accompanied him and said cautiously: "I think that whether our Great Qin can Build a craftsman's school following the example of the Qin Military Academy?"
Ying Zheng fell into thought after hearing this: "A craftsman's school?"
Ying Chengqian frowned slightly: "The craftsman's school is different from the military academy. "
"Even if the disciples of my Da Qin Military Academy defect to other countries, I, Da Qin, will not be afraid."
"But even if only one disciple of the Craftsman School defectes to another country, it will be a huge blow to our country, Great Qin!"
Ying Chengyu had the idea of establishing the Craftsman School of Great Qin earlier than Qi Ai.
As early as when he was admonished to build the Great Qin Military Academy, Ying Chengyu had already had the idea of building the Great Qin Craftsman Academy.
But after careful consideration, Ying Chengyu gave up this idea.
The disciples who can enter the Great Qin Military Academy are either talented people recommended by top dignitaries such as Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu, or they are nobles with no more titles. They have the same interests as Great Qin, and most of them have the same interests as Great Qin. Having fought bloody battles for the Qin Dynasty, the possibility of betraying the Qin Dynasty is small and the price is higher.
But where does the craftsman work? Their interest ties with Da Qin are not strong, and the possibility of defecting to other countries is higher and the cost is lower.
More importantly, if a graduate of the Daqin Military Academy defectes to another country and relies on the skills he learned at the Daqin Military Academy to lead troops as a general, then one day he will face the challenge of being led by his principal. He led the troops at the front and the vice-chancellor formulated strategies at the rear. All his disciples and teaching staff served as commanders of various ministries and troops of the Qin Dynasty.
Ying Chengxuan is confident that as the principal, he will teach him the last lesson in life!
However, if a graduate of the Craftsman School defectes to another country, even if this disciple does not perform well during the school, he can sell all the knowledge he learned in the Craftsman School to the enemy country and let Ying win. All the technologies that Cheng Yu has worked so hard to study have become the wedding clothes of other countries, greatly improving the productivity of other countries.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Ying Chengyu!
Qi Ai said seriously: "I think that all the disciples who enter the Daqin Craftsman School can be registered as craftsmen and be managed uniformly as official craftsmen!"
"All the knowledge learned in the Craftsman School is It is included in the confidentiality law and the disciples are not allowed to reveal it to the outside world."
Ying Chengqi asked: "If this is the case, how many people will be willing to enter the Daqin Craftsman School?"
As the saying goes, yes. A craftsmanship will never die of hunger.
But in this era, it is indeed difficult for a craftsman to starve to death, but he may be forcibly enrolled in the craftsmanship register, and then be hacked to death because the technology is not up to standard and the yield rate is too low, or even It may implicate the three tribes!
Qi Ai said sincerely: "Many!"
"I asked many young men who were called to serve as slaves. As long as they can follow Lord Chang'an, they are all willing to become craftsmen!"
Ying Cheng Yu was slightly surprised: "Really?"
Qi Ai nodded vigorously and said: "It's true!"
"Thanks to the kindness of Lord Chang'an, the craftsmen of today are very different from the craftsmen of the past. ”
"Although we are craftsmen, we can also get a title."
"If we can be used by Lord Chang'an, we will have a chance to honor our ancestors!"
"If Da Qin really opens a craftsman school, Just this time, among the more than 60,000 young men summoned by Lord Chang'an, at least 10,000 will sign up for school!"
Ying Chengyu couldn't help but ponder.
After a while, Ying Chengyu looked at Ying Zheng and said solemnly: "We can do it!"
Ying Zheng asked back: "Effective?"
Ying Chengqiu said without hesitation: "It is of great use!"
"With just my efforts, I can spend my whole life developing it. How many creations will be produced?”
“But if I can have hundreds of thousands of disciples to help me, and give me another fifty years, I am confident that Da Qin will enter a new era!”
Ying Zheng nodded happily: "Since Brother Wang thinks this policy is very good, I should accept it!"
"Order, the great craftsman Qi Ai is specially appointed as the fifth doctor!"
"The great craftsman Qi Ai is ordered to assist the Lord of Chang'an in building the Great Qin Craftsman School."
"Promote the Lord of Chang'an to the Great Qin Craftsman School. Order, promote the great craftsman Qi Ai to be the chief craftsman of the Qin Dynasty!”
“The generals and the young masters must cooperate with each other, and there must be no mistakes!”
