The strongest Marquis in history

In the end, Wang Qi dismissed everyone.

After the crowd dispersed, Wang Qi, Mo Liu, and Zhu Shanchang stayed in the hall of the meeting room.

Zhu Shan said: "Your Majesty, when it comes to these craftsmen, they have different salaries. At this time, how do they define their identities?"

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "The original loose official status is inappropriate. I said earlier that the loose official system is not suitable for craftsmen. Therefore, each individual's status is defined separately, starting from apprentices, and after reaching a certain level, one by one. The ranks of the ranks are given to the ranks of the ranks, which directly correspond to the ranks of the scattered officials."

"At the same time, those who have made contributions, and their families, can also be included in the care. Even those who have made major contributions, such as the person who developed the train, or as a whole, should be rewarded."

"Not only material rewards, but also medals or medals. In short, you have to establish a complete system. In the same way, these technological craftsmen have rewards here, and other aspects, such as scholars, such as Among the common people, such as in the army, medals and so on can be set up."

"In a nutshell, it's about promoting a sense of honor and giving people recognition because they deserve it."

"The minister takes orders!"

When Zhu Shanchang heard Wang Qi's words, he also nodded solemnly.

This is extremely critical.

It helps to gather people's hearts, so that everyone can really work together and continue to be loyal to Qi.

Wang Qi looked at Mo Liu again, and said, "Mo Qing, we still have to work harder for the Academy of Science and Technology, so that more people can grow up quickly and be independent. In Qi, this is the only talent in our country." , or not."

"I understand!"

Mo Liu also nodded solemnly to answer.

Wang Qi said no more, and brought Zhu Shanchang and Mo Liu back to the office.When it was almost noon, Wang Qi stayed in the Science and Technology Institute for dinner, and specially called a group of top technology craftsmen to eat together.

A lunch, Wang Qi said while eating, mainly to encourage these craftsmen.

Let everyone truly recognize themselves and the state of Qi.

This is what Wang Qi has to do.

After lunch, Wang Qi didn't stay any longer, and left the Institute of Science and Technology with his entourage and returned to the city.When Wang Qi returned to the palace, he went straight to the harem to see the two children.

Chapter 962 Cabinet Adjustment

When Wang Qi returned to the palace, the two children were still studying, so Wang Qi didn't bother them, and the children didn't finish studying until the evening.Of course, the main study is Wang You, because he is the prince, he started to study early.

As for Wang Jin, she learned to play along with her.

After the two children came back, Wang Qi accompanied the two children and teased them.Not long after, Zhao Yuyan and Mi Zhen came back together, and they were quite happy to see Wang Qi.

After all, it will be several months since Wang Qi left.

Seeing Wang Qi, Zhao Yuyan said, "Your, what did the queen mother tell you? It's cold at night, so you bring father a basin of water to wash father's feet."

"Yes!"

Wang You answered directly.

Four or five-year-old children are already quite sensible.Because Zhao Yuyan specially taught it, Wang You went to fetch water, and came back after a while.

Wang You held a wooden basin filled with hot water, walked up to Wang Qi, put the wooden basin down, and said, "Father, I will take off your boots and wash your feet."

"I am coming too."

Wang Jin also leaned over.

The two little fellows happily took off Wang Qi's boots and washed his feet.

Wang Qi saw this scene with a bright smile on his face, especially when the two children took off his boots, put his feet in the hot water, and rubbed his feet carefully, they looked good.

For a moment, Wang Qi's heart was full of joy, very happy.

The old father felt full.

Very pleased.

Wang Qi looked at Zhao Yuyan and Mi Zhen, and said, "That's right, you two really taught the children well."

Zhao Yuyan said: "Your Majesty praises Miao, this is what a concubine should do."

Mi Zhen said: "Your Majesty, in this matter, my sister is mainly in charge of teaching, and my concubine is only assisting. The credit for this is all my sister's. When it comes to teaching children, I don't have enough patience."

"All good, all good."

Wang Qi spoke with a smile.

After Wang Qi finished washing his feet, Tuoba Changge also came.She entered the hall, bowed to Wang Qi, and then sat aside with a smile on her face, saying a word or two from time to time.

It can be seen that the three women get along fairly harmoniously.

Wang Qi was satisfied with this, and teased the children for a while. After Wang Qi handed over the two children to the nanny, he took the three daughters to sleep together.For two or three days in a row, Wang Qi was in the palace, and he didn't have any government affairs to deal with for the time being.

On this day, a servant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhu Shanchang is begging to see you."

"pass!"

Wang Qi gave an order.

The servant went to deliver the order, and it didn't take long before Zhu Shanchang entered the hall, bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

Wang Qi said, "Sit down."

Zhu Shanchang sat down and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the matter of building the railway has been decided. Now the first batch of railways to be built are mainly from Chang'an to Luoyang. The road is relatively flat and easy to build at this distance. At the same time, this is also the It is an experiment to accumulate experience in this area first. With mature experience, it can be expanded on a large scale.”

"In addition, regarding the production of cement, a separate department has been set up and handed over to the Ministry of Transport to be responsible for cement production and sales. In short, this system has been drawn up, and then road construction will begin."

"The two major events are relatively important. The minister's plan for this year, that is, the rest of the major events this year, will be put on hold for the time being. The main thing is to arrange these two matters."

"This is the minister's consideration."

Zhu Shanchang continued: "After all, after a year, the spring plowing at the beginning of the year, the imperial examinations, etc., add up all kinds of things. Once too many things are started, I worry that the steps are too big, and it is easy to go wrong everywhere. One step The most stable implementation is the step-by-step implementation.”

Wang Qi nodded and said, "No problem, just arrange it like this."

After a pause, Wang Qi continued: "As for the cabinet, I plan to make a simple adjustment."

Zhu Shan said: "How to adjust?"

Wang Qi said: "Sima Chong is old now, and he is not suitable to be the second assistant to the cabinet. Let him retire for retirement. In terms of the cabinet, add a cabinet member, and then promote another person to serve as the second assistant to the cabinet."

Zhu Shanchang frowned, a little surprised.

He actually kicked Sima Chong out.

As soon as Zhu Shanchang heard about this, he thought of Mo Liu's talk about cement a few days ago, and he only learned about it from Mo Liu when the cement was actually specially manufactured.

The matter of cement is excellent, benefiting the country and the people.However, Sima Chong had no foresight and was stubborn, so he blocked him directly.In addition to the previous train incident, Sima Chong supported it on the surface, but in fact he did not express his position and was unwilling to really support it.

Two things made Wang Qi unhappy.

Zhu Shanchang thought about it for a while, and said in a blink of an eye: "Your Majesty, he has chosen one person for Sima Chong's pension. Then, who will add it?"

Wang Qidao: "Who do you think is suitable?"

Zhu Shanchang thought for a while, it seemed that Wang Qi intended to support him, otherwise, he would not have asked his opinion.

This is conducive to his centralization.

To do things without a certain amount of authority is definitely not possible. This is why Wang Qi strongly supports him.

Zhu Shanchang tentatively said: "Your Majesty, can Lord Yuan Cang be allowed to enter the cabinet? Yuan Cang is a doctor of imperial history, and he also has a pivotal position in the court. With his status, it is also suitable for him to enter the cabinet."

"can!"

Wang Qi answered directly.

Zhu Shan said: "Your Majesty, now the cabinet ministers also need to be filled, please make a decision, Your Majesty?"

Wang Qi said: "Who do you think is suitable as the cabinet assistant?"

Zhu Shan said: "In terms of qualifications, contacts and reputation, Mr. Mi is the most suitable."

Wang Qi said, "It's not appropriate."

Zhu Shanchang said: "Then, Lan Yu is suitable. After all, Lan Yu was in charge of the Ministry of War before, and he is very familiar with the situation of the Ministry of War. In the future, there will be many wars in the court. In the cabinet, a person who understands military affairs is also needed to have a certain right to speak. .”

Wang Qidao: "Since that's the case, let Lan Yu be the second assistant to the cabinet."

"I obey my orders!"

Zhu Shanchang answered directly.

Wang Qi waved his hand and said, "Go down."

"I retire!"

Zhu Shanchang bowed and saluted, then turned and retreated.

When Zhu Shanchang returned to the Cabinet Office, he first arranged for someone to notify Yuan Cang.Not long after, Yuan Cang entered, bowed and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty Yuan Cang, I pay my respects to Lord Chief Assistant."

"sit!"

Zhu Shanchang gave an order.

Yuan Cang sat down obediently, but he was a little surprised. What did Zhu Shanchang ask him to do?

The current Yuan Cang is also a bit old.

After all, Yuan Cang was one of the early followers of Wang Qi, and it has been many years now.There was even a trace of gray on his temples, and he no longer had the youthful appearance of the past.

Zhu Shanchang ordered to go down again and summoned the rest of the cabinet members to discuss matters.

At this moment, Zhu Shanchang did not speak to Yuan Cang either.

Yuan Cang felt uneasy in his heart.As a royal censor, he is considered to be of some importance in the imperial court.But in fact, if you want to say how important it is, it doesn't weigh much, at least compared with the people in the cabinet, it is far, far worse.

As time passed, Sima Chong, Mi Huang and other five people arrived, and they bowed to Zhu Shan together.

Everyone noticed Yuan Cang.

There are some surprises.

Who is Yuan Cang?

This is the royal doctor in the court.

What do you come to the cabinet for?

For the time being, everyone didn't understand what happened, so at the moment, they could only hold back their thoughts.All the people took their seats and waited temporarily.

With a faint smile on Zhu Shanchang's face, he continued: "Everyone, the reason why you are invited here is because His Majesty has made arrangements, and some things have been adjusted, so I need to talk to you carefully."

Everyone's expressions became serious, especially Mi Huang, Sima Chong and the others, who were extremely politically sensitive.Hearing that Wang Qi had made arrangements and adjustments, when he looked at Yuan Cang again, his heart became alive.

Something is wrong!

All of them are thinking in their hearts.

Zhu Shanchang didn't care about these people's inner thoughts. He looked serious and continued: "Your Majesty ordered that Mr. Sima Chong is old after all. His Majesty allows you to return home and not be included in the cabinet. Mr. Sima Chong is an official. Dismiss official posts with the first rank, and enjoy the treatment of the first rank."

"The old minister complies with the order, thank Your Majesty Long En!"

Sima Chong immediately stood up and answered.

It's just that Sima Chong felt a little lost in his heart.

Even if he is the second assistant of the cabinet, he actually has no foundation in the court.But since he is the second assistant of the cabinet, he has considerable power and influence.So many things, he can still decide.

Now that I am an official, everything is gone.

In Sima Chong's heart, he didn't even want to understand what went wrong, and it turned out to make him resign.

Suddenly, Sima Chong thought about the train.

It was the only one he never really took a position on, and even then he was a fencer, both supportive and skeptical.With such an attitude, he did not commit any taboos, but he was still ordered to retire.

Sima Chong sighed inwardly.

He suddenly realized that he was wrong.

He was the prime minister of the Shu Kingdom in the past, and he surrendered together with the Emperor Zhang Tianyi of the Shu Kingdom. Since then, he has been suspended as an official, which is equivalent to being supported.Even if you don't have an official position, you still have the official title of a loose official, and you have certain treatment.

Once he was appointed as the cabinet's second assistant, he was cautious at the beginning, focusing on Zhu Shanchang in everything.

Later, he got to know the situation of the cabinet clearly, and especially knew that Mi Huang and Zhu Shanchang were at odds. Whenever Mi Huang and Zhu Shanchang had any conflicts and disputes, he would always sit on the fence and not express his opinion.

There are also times when he expresses his attitude and has his own point of view.Only now did Sima Chong suddenly understand that he was a person who was hit by a pie, so he was promoted to temporarily occupy the position of second assistant.

How can there be any power at all?
