Chapter 591
The purpose of this is definitely not Li Qing has any prejudice against scholars, but he thinks that scholars nowadays take themselves too seriously and taking themselves seriously is a good thing, but taking themselves too seriously, so they have to be slightly rectified.
Li Neng felt that students like Su Hu were relatively simple in their minds. They had suffered some hardships when they were young, and there would be no problems in the environment where craftsmen worked.
Coupled with the temptation of high salary, Li Qing felt that it was enough for these poor students to make some contributions to the Tang Dynasty's naval army after they arrived here.
In fact, the reason why Muto Ichiro is so skilled is not because he is so talented in this regard. It is because he first reads the book and then starts to think about shipbuilding. After reading the book, whether it is knowledge or thinking, it is indeed different from ordinary craftsmen. In addition, he has been immersed in warships for so many years in the Tang Dynasty, so Muto Ichiro, the first person to inquire about shipbuilding today.
In recent years, Li Yi has already analyzed Muto Ichiro clearly. The next step is to build the Tang Dynasty's own Muto Ichiro.
In Li Qing's opinion, in this first year, more people will easily turn these people into poor-study people. Five people carefully selected by Xu Yuan were just right. As long as three of them could become successful in a few years, it would be a very big breakthrough. Li Qing thought in her mind that in three years, these people would almost certainly have a place in the Ministry of Works. At that time, the largest of them was thirty years old, and there was still great potential among the officials of the Ministry of Works.
Obviously, Li Qing was fundamentally replacing the Tang Dynasty. The changes that the Tang Dynasty can now be easily completed have already been completed. The rest is not something that can bring effects in just one sentence or two sentences, such as this matter.
The Ministry of Works is a place where Li Yi wanted to open the gap. This matter was associated with building warships and attacking the enemy in the West. It was obviously a process that could promote each other. Instead of attacking Westerners, they could not build these things and could not make some changes in the court.
In Li Qing's opinion, the role of the Six Divisions was too important for the Tang Dynasty. Although he did not have a better way to directly break the current situation and organizational structure of the Six Divisions, the Six Divisions now had to make some changes.
Except for the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, which can be directly carried by scholars, the other departments, in Li Qing's opinion, all require a certain amount of experience.
In addition to the Ministry of Works, the people in the Ministry of Revenue must know the situation of the people. The people in the Ministry of War must at least have really fought wars and trained soldiers. The people in the Ministry of Justice must be familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty and have more or less judged some major cases. Otherwise, if the layman commands the experts, not only the insiders will not be satisfied, but the people in the Tang Dynasty will not be satisfied in the end.
The Ministry of Works is exactly the most difficult place, but once it is broken, several other places will be solved.
There is another reason, that is, the Ministry of Works has always been at the bottom among the six ministries, and people from the other five ministries are not willing to work in the Ministry of Works, and even the Ministry of Justice looks down on the Ministry of Works. This is definitely a rather unreasonable phenomenon in Li Qing's opinion.
Not only Li Qing saw it, but even Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan also admitted that the Ministry of Works is the least insignificant. The Ministry of Works is equivalent to the Ministry of Construction in the era where Li Qing was later. From the construction of the emperor's bedroom to the construction of the official office in the county town, the Ministry of Works is responsible for it.
In addition, the Ministry of Works was also responsible for the development of machines. In the Ming Dynasty, firearms had reached a height in the previous life, so the manufacturing of new firearms was manufactured by the Ministry of Works. The working people were the most honorable. In fact, the Ministry of Works should have been a respectable department, but because these craftsmen were always despised in ancient times, the status of the Ministry of Works was also belittled.
However, the Minister of Works is the core of the Ministry of Works system. To the top, as a minister of the court, he must participate in the government affairs and be responsible to the emperor. As the Minister of Works, he must follow the orders related to the Ministry of Works, command the Four Departments of the Ministry of Works, and be fully responsible for and coordinate the affairs of the Ministry of Works, so that the functions of the Four Departments can be fully exerted.
In addition, each department also has specific staff of varying number of personnel, namely officials, including Lingshi, Shulingshi, Records, Pavilions, and Zhanggu. If divided according to the fourth-class official system in the early Tang Dynasty, the chief of the Shangshu Work Department is the Minister of the Ministry of Works, the Tongji Office is the Minister of Works, the Tongji Office is the Minister of Works, the judge is the Minister of Works, the judge is the Langzhong and Yuanwailang, and the chief clerk is the head of each department.
Such a large department is in charge of so many people, no matter how you look at it, he should not be despised.
If this is not changed, Li Bing feels that various advances in the entire Datang technology and weapons will be a significant obstacle.
If some people who have no study experience reach a high position, they will definitely not be able to play with those who have been immersed in the court for many years, because they do not have many years of knowledge as their foundation, which is definitely a very cruel fact.
So Su Hu and the other five people are like a seed. If this seed germinates in five years, Li Neng will naturally sow more seeds in this way. Maybe when he really saw the effect, even Li Neng himself was already in his forties or fifties, but Li Neng would definitely do this.
More than a month passed quickly. Although Su Hu didn't know how many people he would go to the camp of the Dongmu Shui Army with, his parents had definitely settled down and there was no need to worry about the days ahead. In order to study for the past few years, he was over 20 years old and had no wife, but with these salary, he believed that he would definitely find a wife soon, or even a concubine, who could afford it.
After thinking through this, Su Hu felt that it would not be so good to get a fame for the time being. After all, not everyone can work from a ninth rank to a third rank official. Most people have been working all their lives and it would be good to be able to get a sixth rank official position. Now he has the same salary as a seventh rank official position, but he just can't be in Chang'an City. And Xu Yuan explained to him clearly that he was a craftsman, but they mainly understood the process and principles of craftsmen's manufacturing of warships. Their real job is to upgrade and improve warships. As long as this credit is taken, it is definitely a foregone conclusion to enter the Ministry of Works in the future.
