Chapter 18 Technological Strength 1

August 24, Yanjing

The summer heat is fading, the autumn rain is slightly cool

Because Yunzheng usually works in the Commander's Mansion, the governor's office seems quite empty now. It's rare that there are a little more people here today, but an unexpected wind and rain suddenly gave up the excitement.

It blew down, adding a bit of desolation

At the end of the corridor in the back hall of the governor's yamen, there is a large pavilion. Two men and three women are seated in the pavilion. The young man in white sitting on top is none other than Marshal Yunzheng Yunzheng, who at the age of only 28 holds 60 to 70% of the power in Northern Xinjiang.

Sitting on the left hand side is a young man dressed in military uniform. He is none other than Ying Yang Guard's Military Master Li Mo. The three women opposite Li Mo are headed by Dongfang Wuqing. Next to her are Nangong Wuyu and Beishan Wuxue.

These three women were originally the spring flowers and autumn moon, each specializing in their respective fields. Now that they are together, even the autumn rain seems to have fallen to set off their appearance.

However, with such a stunning scene in the world, neither of the two men present seemed to have the intention to appreciate Yun Zheng's eyes calmly closed, his right hand gently placed on the stone table, and his index finger tapping the table rhythmically, making a "tap-tat" sound.

Although Li Mo didn't close his eyes, he looked at his nose and his nose, looking at his heart, as if he was looking at anything inappropriate, as if the rare beauty in the world was not as good as his two ordinary toes.

The attitudes of the three girls are also quite interesting. Dongfang Wuqing would rather look at the endless autumn rain in the courtyard than cast a single glance at Yunzheng; Nangong Wuyu would look at Yunzheng for a while, and then at Dongfang Wuyu beside him.

Qing and Beishan Wuxue, their eyes flicker and wonder what they are thinking; Beishan Wuxue is the most leisurely, with beautiful eyes slightly drooped, quiet and peaceful, as if they have fallen into trance.

Yunzheng's fingers suddenly stopped, and his tone was as steady as an ancient well: "If the academy of sciences is established, all those who are capable can be hired, whether they are craftsmen, merchants, or traders and servants. Anyone who has the ability to examine things can do things that others cannot.

, according to their ability, size and role, they will be given generous rewards, and they will be hired in the Academy of Sciences with heavy sums of money. For this reason, I will not hesitate to spend my money."

Nangong Wuyu turned his attention back to Yun Zheng, Beishan Wuxue still had a calm face, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and Li Mo just glanced at Yun Zheng thoughtfully and didn't say much.

Only Dongfang Wuqing asked: "How determined is the young commander?"

Yun Zheng did not open his eyes, but simply said calmly: "Since ancient times, the kings who have been appointed to Zhongxing have never been able to rule the world with virtuous gentlemen. Even if they are virtuous, they have never left the alleys. How can they be lucky enough to meet each other? The people above

The purpose of seeking talents has not yet been determined in this world. At this time of urgent need for talents, if Meng Gongchuo is Zhao, Wei Lao is superior, he cannot be Teng, Xue Dafu. If he must be honest and honest, then how can Qi Huanqi dominate the world?

Today, is there anyone who is hooked on Weibin because of his love for a jade? Is there anyone who steals a wife's money but never encounters an ignorant person? I have two or three sons who are supporting me.

Of"

This passage is the original words of the "Order to Seek Talent" promulgated by Cao Cao at the end of the Han Dynasty. The main idea of ​​the "Order to Seek Talent" is the "appreciation of talents only" that later generations particularly appreciated. Yun Zheng quoted Cao Cao's "Only the Talents"

That's the move", the purpose is very obvious, and the meaning is extremely clear, that is, he is not just talking about what he just said about establishing the Academy of Sciences. Not only must he do it, but he will do it at all costs, even if "the world is shocked.

"

Historically, Cao Cao was a model of "meriting talents". Cao Cao employed people "without caring about old evil", such as Zhang Liao;

Outsiders, such as Liu Bei, can see from these aspects that Cao Cao is thirsty for talents. In order to realize his hegemony, he recruits talents in an eclectic way, knows people well and can make use of others.

Cao Cao's "meritocracy" is a true meritocracy. Even if there are talents who "bear an insulting name, act for fun, or are unkind and unfilial but have the skills to govern the country and use troops", they must "do what they know and do what they know."

"Don't leave anything behind" is a trap that even in later generations of society, leaders with such insight and magnanimity are rarely seen in extraordinary times, extraordinary careers, and extraordinary people. Cao Cao's bold measures in talent selection have enabled a large number of

Excellent talents gathered around him, providing a guarantee for him to realize his political ambitions.

Yun Zheng has always believed that for talents, it is of course the best to have both ability and political integrity. However, even the sages, even the Duke of Zhou, have clearly stated that "nothing needs to be prepared from just one person". To truly achieve talents with both ability and political integrity, even if you turn to the Chinese

The history of civilization may not be able to form a team that can maintain social development. The famous Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty emphasized that it is impossible to "borrow talents from another generation" for governance. He insisted on using people as tools, which was actually a "meritocracy" for Cao Cao.

direct inheritance and development of

Li Mo spoke at this time: "Young Marshal wants to imitate Wei Wu's meritocracy, and Mo thinks it's okay, but regarding the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, what specific plans do Young Marshal have?"

Yunzheng said: "The Academy of Sciences will offer agricultural economics, medical science, arithmetic, Gezhi (the study of things and their application), economics and other current affairs subjects, completely different from the Academy of Liberal Arts." He sighed softly: "The way to achieve governance is to educate talents first.

Not cultivating scholars but desiring to acquire talents is like not cultivating crops but desiring autumn harvests; not carving but desiring to make tools, so nurturing scholars and cultivating talents is to take the establishment of schools and teachers as an urgent matter. The establishment of the Academy of Sciences is not only about innovation and invention;

Cultivate a group of fires, starting from them, so that more people who come after you can learn some practical knowledge, instead of doing nothing all day long."

Li Mo's eyes lit up: "Young Marshal's words are absolutely true. No matter how good or numerous the article is, it can't make all the people in the world well fed, let alone the thousands of barbarians. It's really the best in the world.

"Useless things." He became very interested and said: "As soon as these subjects such as agricultural classics, medical science, arithmetic, and the investigation of things and their application are opened, the number of people who can use them in northern Xinjiang will double in a few years! As soon as the world changes..."

"Ahem!" Yunzheng coughed dryly and interrupted: "It's about the Academy of Sciences, but the first thing I want to talk to you about today is besides that, there are a few things to talk about about our many sophisticated equipment in Northern Xinjiang, such as the newly developed

Firearms, etc., are mostly used in the military, and the same goes for weapons and armor. However, in our Northern Xinjiang army, there are more than ten types of armor alone. In addition to Mingguang, Guangyao, Shaozi, Shanwen, Bird Hammer, and Fine Scale

Armor is iron armor, and there are even wooden armors and leather armors. In short, the classification is too complicated and too detailed. The craftsmanship camp not only supports the military, but also oversees civil industrial and agricultural construction, which reduces the need for weapons.

Innovation and improvement of equipment, so I have been thinking about this issue recently, and finally felt that some functions should be separated from the craftsmanship camp, and separately, specifically to serve the military organization, each type of standard weapon must be strictly reviewed and

The inspection focuses more on its practicality and durability. After selecting and improving it, it is first given to a small number of troops for trial. If feasible, it is then handed over to the craftsman battalion for mass production. This not only eliminates a batch of products that lack practical value and have complicated craftsmanship,

Utensils can also reduce financial waste.”

The three girls and Li Mo both knew something about the Yun family's craftsmanship camp. When Yun Zheng said this, they immediately understood what he meant. Naturally, they would not object and expressed their approval. In fact, Yun Zheng had already asked Yun Yi about this matter.

, Yunxi, Yunji, Yun Sheng and other military representatives did not care much about how to arrange logistics matters, but when they heard that the benefits of doing so were so obvious, they naturally would not object, so Yunzheng listened to the three women again

After the opinions of experts such as Li Mo were finalized, it would be much simpler. Yun Zheng planned to directly transfer some skilled, loyal and trustworthy craftsmen from the general production camp and form an independent department with a tentative name.

For: Northern Xinjiang Weapons Research Institute

Then Yun Zheng laughed: "Xian Yang, you are a master of mechanisms and an expert in investigating objects. You said that if I plan to build the Academy of Arts and Sciences according to the drawing I gave you yesterday and use three thousand craftsmen, then

If five thousand soldiers are mobilized to help, how long will it take to complete the project?"

Li Mo frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "If you have enough financial resources and sufficient materials, it will take about half a year."

Yunzheng's smile became brighter: "What if I can complete the work in about a month?"

Li Mo was surprised and didn't believe it at all: "That's unless we send several more people."

Yun Zheng waved his hand and said: "Without adding one person, with just those 8,000 people, I can complete the two courtyards in about a month. Can you believe it?"

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head like a lang drum: "That's absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible."

Yunzheng laughed, looked at the smaller Qiu Yu, and said: "Come with me, I will show you something, and you will know that there is no water in my words."

Yunzheng took the three inexplicable girls and Li Mo through several courtyards and came to a somewhat messy courtyard. As soon as he entered, Nangong Wuyu said in surprise: "Are these all firewood sheds? You brought us here

do what?"

Yun Zheng said: "You'll know when you come here with me." He said, and walked towards the largest "firewood shed". When they entered the firewood shed, Li Mo and others looked at the piles of dusty powder piled up by the boss.

Shui Yunzheng was confused, but he seemed to see Jinshan's expression as he looked at the gray powder. Then he turned around and went outside to bring in a wooden bucket. He then put a bunch of gray powder aside and made it into a ring. Finally, he put the contents in the bucket into a ring.

Water is poured into the middle of the ring…

"This thing is called cement. This cement is made by mixing limestone and clay and calcining it at high temperature. You see, now that it is soaked with water, it becomes sticky, but it will dry out in a short time.

, and then it will become as hard as stone." Yun Zheng picked out some of the wet cement and said to Li Mo: "It still has very good stickiness. If Xian Yang doesn't believe it, just step on it and wait for it to dry.

Let’s see how it turns out. After you know the function of this cement, you won’t know that what I said about building the two houses in one month is actually true.”

--------------------I had insomnia yesterday and was very busy during the day. I am very unsatisfied tonight. I will make up for it tomorrow.
