In the study, Wang Can's eyes passed over Mo Yan, Pu Yuan, and Ma Jun before finally looking back.
A few years later, Ma Jun and Pu Yuan have reached middle age. Because they have been forging weapons by the stove all year round, they are older than their peers. As for the old man Mo Yan, he has silver hair, his eyes are no longer clear, and his face is
The folds are like the bark of a century-old tree, pitted and full of ravines.
As Wang Can's strength increases, the usefulness of the craftsman's workshop also increases.
Mo spoke slowly and said: "My lord, Yizhou has suffered from successive wars, and the cost of forging Han knives is also very high. There is not much iron and stone left in the treasury. If it is used according to the current consumption, I am afraid that
We can’t support it for a year.”
Wang Can raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you find new iron stones?"
Mo Yan wanted to speak, but seemed a little embarrassed.
Pu Yuan said: "My lord, searching for iron ore requires a lot of manpower and material resources. There are many apprentices in the craftsman's workshop and there are enough people, but the material resources required are not enough to send a large number of people to explore for iron ore."
Wang Can immediately laughed, Pu Yuan was quite interesting.
It's a bit interesting to say that the craftsman's workshop is short of money but lacks material resources.
Wang Can said directly: "Don't worry about money. I will ask Cheng Yu to give you enough funds so that you can look for iron ore with peace of mind and forge more sophisticated weapons. Although the people in the craftsman's workshop did not go to the battlefield to fight,
But you are the heroes behind the scenes. Without you forging sophisticated weapons, the soldiers' losses would be greater, so you are the top priority and cannot be ignored."
When Mo Yan heard this, he was immediately moved.
The giants of the three craftsmen's workshops felt very sad and bowed their hands to thank Wang Can.
Mo Yan wiped his slightly moist eyes and said, "I wonder why my lord invites us here?"
Wang Can said: "There is indeed something to tell you. Yizhou has repelled the allied forces of the princes. There will be no major war for the time being, and the demand for weapons has also been reduced accordingly. In a short time, there will be no war in Yizhou.
, I hope you can change the focus of the craftsman's workshop and no longer focus on forging weapons."
Ma Jun asked: "My lord, if we don't forge weapons, what will we forge?"
Mo Yan and Pu Yuan also looked at Wang Can, waiting for Wang Can to speak.
Wang Canxiao said: "The craftsman's workshop will definitely not be just for forging weapons in the future. At present, Yizhou must vigorously develop production, and the focus of work must shift to forging agricultural tools to create more agricultural tools and promote the development of agriculture. However,
, it’s not that weapons are not forged, but that the proportion of forged weapons is smaller, and the main focus is on forging agricultural tools.”
Ma Jun continued: "My lord, there are enough people in the craftsman's workshop, but most of the people are forging weapons and are not used to forging farm tools. If we suddenly change to forging farm tools, it will be a little difficult."
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "If there are difficulties to overcome, do your best and do it with your heart."
"promise!"
Ma Jun nodded in agreement and agreed.
Wang Can continued: "I have told you the specific things, and they must be implemented well. If there are not enough people who are proficient in forging agricultural tools, we can find more people. We must let the people get benefits. This is one of the purposes of establishing a craftsman's workshop."
After a pause, Wang Can said again: "The three of you are in charge of the Craftsman's Workshop, and I will reveal some news to you. I guess you also know that I am about to become the king. After I become the king, the Craftsman's Workshop will be reorganized into a department.
, he will be responsible for weapons, farm tools, water conservancy and other matters at that time, so it is impossible to just forge weapons."
After hearing this, the three people hurriedly bowed and said: "I will definitely complete my mission and live up to my lord's high expectations."
Wang Can waved his hand and asked the three of them to retreat.
After the three of them left the study, Wang Can also got up and left, heading to the courtyard where Cai Yong lived.
When Wang Can entered the courtyard, Wang Zhen, Wang You and Wang Xin were studying with Cai Yong. The three of them were very happy when they saw Wang Can coming, especially Wang Xin who was clingy and rushed directly to Wang Can. During this time, Wang Can After getting along with Wang Zhen and Wang You for a long time, we became closer and no longer felt strange.
Having fun with the three children, Wang Can laughed heartily and was in a happy mood.
He played for a while and then asked his attendants to take the three of them away.
Cai Yong waved his hand and led Wang Can to the study. The two guests and host sat down, and Cai Yong asked: "First of all, you came to see me as my teacher. What can I do for you?"
Wang Can nodded and said: "Teacher, the disciple is almost ready to become the king. Now we just have to wait for Cheng Yu to preside over the construction of the palace, and then we can prepare to become the king. However, after becoming the king, all the civil and military officials under the disciple will There has been a certain change. The teacher is very knowledgeable and a great scholar in the country, and the disciples want to ask the teacher to be the Minister of Rites."
Cai Yong asked: "What is the Minister of Rites?"
Wang Can scratched his head and told the six stories from the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The six departments are the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishment.
The origin of Liubu was in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, not far away from the Three Kingdoms where Wang Can lived. Because they were all under one roof, Wang Can thought of using Liubu. Compared with the military reform that he had single-handedly planned but failed, Liubu Naturally, it is more in line with the actual situation, because the six volumes are a product of the feudal era.
Wang Can briefly listed the six parts and briefly talked about the contents of each part.
After hearing this, Cai Yong suddenly fell into deep thought.
In fact, the six bureaus mentioned by Wang Can were separated from the Sangong and Jiuqing. In the past, the specific affairs of the six bureaus were controlled by the nine ministers. Now, through the clarification of the six bureaus, the specific things have been detailed. Cai Yong is proficient in history books and has a deep understanding of the imperial court. The system is also well understood, and it is easy to understand the context of the six departments.
After pondering for a long time, Cai Yong asked: "First of all, have you thought about the six books of ministers?"
Wang Can nodded and said: "Disciple has already thought about it. Teacher will be the Minister of Rites, Mo Yan will be the Minister of Works, Xun You will be the Minister of War, Cheng Yu will be the Minister of Officials, Tian Feng will be the Minister of Punishments, and Li Ru will be the Minister of Households. "
After hearing this, Cai Yong frowned.
Wang Can asked: "Teacher, is there anything wrong?"
Cai Yong said in a deep voice: "When you arrange officials, you must consider the balance of forces and interests of all parties. You are based in Yizhou, but there are no local officials in Yizhou among the six ministers. It is very inappropriate. The teacher suggested If you use Ren An as the Minister of Rites, only the native Yizhou people can have a place, and the rights of all parties can be balanced."
Ren An was a famous scholar in Yizhou and a local leader in Yizhou.
After Wang Can heard this, he wanted to speak.
Cai Yong stretched out his hand to stop Wang Can and continued: "The teacher is writing the history of Han Dynasty and does not have enough time to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. Besides, people are old and do not have the energy to deal with all kinds of things. The affairs of the Ministry of Rites can be left to Ren An .”
After a pause, Cai Yong continued: "As for Mo Yan's appointment as the Ministry of Works, I know about Old Mo. He is proficient in blacksmithing, but his ability as an official is not good, and he cannot serve as the head of a department. For the first , to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry does not require you to be proficient in everything, you can only take charge of the overall situation. You have to carefully consider the candidate for the Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
After Wang Can heard this, he nodded in agreement.
At this time, I heard Cai Yong say: "As for the candidates for other ministries, you can handle it at your own discretion. But you must keep in mind that a minister does not have to be proficient in everything, and does not have to handle every detail.
What you need is someone who can take charge of the overall situation and share your worries. Such a person is the minister you need."
"Thank you teacher, my disciples will pay attention!"
Wang Can was filled with emotion after listening to Cai Yong's words. Cai Yong's words undoubtedly made Wang Can better understand the importance of appointing officials, and he also had more thoughtful thoughts in his mind.
As the saying goes, if a family has an old man, it’s really good to have a treasure!
