Chapter nine hundred and eighty fourth: promotion
Taiping County was a military center of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had absolutely not many troops. Qin Feng Jianjun adhered to the concept of elite soldiers, and elite soldiers rely on strong soldiers, and the other hand rely on military equipment that exceeded others.
From the most common knives, guns, armor, to the thunder fire, crossbow machines, formation chariots, etc. developed by the Ming army, they can always have the advantage on the battlefield.
The leading military equipment relies on these iron smelting and steelmaking technologies in Taiping County and countless military workshops. The most outstanding thing Qin Feng did in the Ming Dynasty was to boldly allow craftsmen with low status to become officials. Once the craftsmen who were called to others in the past were recognized by the court, the bursting energy always made people surprise. And after breaking this barrier, countless latecomers were stimulated.
Everyone who becomes a craftsman can see the future they can expect. As long as you can make innovations, have your own unique inventions, and improve existing technology to a certain extent, then you can change your destiny.
This thought prompted everyone in Taiping County to work hard for their own destiny. Every day, many wonderful ideas are born here. Although most of the ninety-nine percent of the ideas that are broadly open are finally proven to be impossible to achieve, as long as one thing can be accomplished, it can make Taiping County take a big step forward.
The railcars connected to the smelter in Dayecheng mine, the crossbow machine invented by Taiping City, the thunder fire, etc., are profoundly changing the original order of the world. The successful operation of the Shafeng Line railcar will make the huge country smaller and easier to control over the rule, and the birth of each new weapon will change the pattern of the battlefield.
Taiping County is a county governor of innovation and change. Everyone here deeply imprints innovation and revolution in their blood and bones. After every latest thing was created, some people were thinking about how to make him more powerful, while others were thinking about how to take something stronger than him to replace him.
As the county magistrate Jin Jingnan, he is happy to see this situation. The county will allocate an absolutely amazing amount of money to encourage various innovations and developments every year.
In Taiping City, Qin Feng saw the equipment that had made the first sample of the floating bridge. This was developed at the request of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War had allocated a lot of silver for this purpose.
It seems that this thing is only the size of a carriage, and it looks like a rectangular ship below. The point is that above it, layers of wooden boards overlap, and the overlapping wooden boards stretched out, which are several feet long. Such an instrument can be towed away when installed on the carriage.
The siege siege vehicle has been developed, but has now been greatly improved. The most important thing is to speed up the travel speed and extend the speed of their extension to the city.
The faster-launched crossbow machine has entered its final test phase.
The lighter and better protective armor is more suitable for the swords used by soldiers, and is being improved every day. Weapons like horse lances, which were originally extremely costly, have been reduced to one-third of the original manufacturing after two years of research in Taiping City.
In Taiping City, Qin Feng felt vigorous vitality, which made him more confident in the future.
On the last night in Taiping City, he summoned Jin Shengnan alone.
Under the swaying candlelight, Jin Shengnan's heart was pounding, almost letting him hear the sound of his heartbeat. He couldn't help but curse himself for being so impatient.
But he was indeed a little uneasy. He was an ambitious person, and a county magistrate could not satisfy his ambitions. He worked hard to do his current work and showed his abilities to the emperor, so as to obtain higher and more important positions. It was his expectation. Only in a higher position can he fully demonstrate his ambitions.
And this position is naturally the position below that person and above ten thousand people, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty.
In Jin Shengnan's view, whether it is Chu or Qi, they are all declining. After experiencing a climax, they are now falling down to the abyss step by step. After this defeat, Chu has no longer had the power of competition. Although their emperor has realized the problem and wants to take advantage of the victory of this war to carry out domestic reforms and reshape the spirit of Qi, its stubborn disease has become. The reform of the emperor of Qi will inevitably be strongly counterattacked by domestic vested interest groups. It is impossible to judge whether it is successful or not. The key is, will the Ming Dynasty give him this opportunity?
He wanted to remove the abscess, but the Ming Dynasty was running forward with great strides. When the Ming Dynasty annexed Qin State, neither the region nor the Dingkou would be inferior to the Qi people. What's more important is that the Ming Dynasty was thriving, up and down, twisting into a rope, running towards a target, while the Qi State was in a state of reluctance and virtue.
As for Qin, in Jin Jingnan's view, it was not his turn to consider it. During the tenure of the Prime Minister Quan, this country would inevitably cease to exist.
Staring at the other party's slightly flushed face, Qin Feng smiled, not taking more turns, but went straight into it alone.
"The prince left us and the position of Minister of Personnel was vacant. Jin Jingnan, who do you think is more suitable for this position?"
Jin Jingnan never expected that the emperor's conversation would start in this way, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer. In the Ming Dynasty, everyone had a cognition that whoever became the next Minister of Personnel would have a greater chance of becoming the next chief minister.
After all, the Minister of Personnel is in charge of officials, and the most important task of the Chief Supervisor is nothing more than commanding officials from all over the world to achieve the established goals of the court. When he becomes the Minister of Personnel and becomes the Prime Minister, he will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
When the emperor asked this, Jin Jingnan was embarrassed to recommend himself directly. After a while, he finally said, "Everything is the only sage of Your Majesty."
Qin Feng laughed loudly, and it seemed that Jin Jingnan's face was thinner than Fang Dazhi. He also asked Fang Dazhi for this question. At that time, Fang Dazhi's answer was: "Precaution!"
"If I say that I chose Fang Dazhi as the Minister of Personnel, what do you think?" Qin Feng asked again.
Jin Jingnan's face turned a little white in an instant, but for a moment, he returned to normal: "Your Majesty's choice is of course reasonable." He was silent for a while, and then said: "I admire the talent of the county magistrate Fang."
"How are you better than him?"
"Each one has its own advantages, but the methods and means of doing things are very different."
“Who is more efficient?”
"If it is more efficient, I think I will be stronger." Jin Jingnan said: "But my methods sometimes become more intense."
Qin Feng smiled: "Very good, you have a very clear understanding of yourself. In fact, before coming to Taiping City, I had consulted many important officials on this issue. Among the younger generation of officials in the Ming Dynasty, you and Fang Dazhi are indeed the best. Fang Dazhi will become the next Minister of Personnel, promoted to the right prime minister, and surrender to the chief assistant Quan Yun."
Jin Jingnan was a little discouraged, or because his methods were too fierce, he lost the victory of this competition? This time when the emperor visited, he exposed his boldness and fierce methods to the emperor nakedly.
After a moment of depressed resignation, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind, and Huo looked up at the emperor.
"Did you understand?" Qin Feng looked at him with a smile.
Fang Dazhi was appointed Minister of Personnel and promoted to the right prime minister. Since there is a right, there must be a left. Who is the left prime minister?
"You are right, the left prime minister is you." Qin Feng gently knocked on the table, "If you want to serve as the chief censor of the Ming Dynasty, Guo Jiuling and Mr. Guo will devote more energy to the Eagle Nest and no longer serve as the chief censor."
The chief censor is responsible for the supervision. The Supervisory Office has great power. In addition to the Censorate, Eagle Nest is one of its most powerful departments. Moreover, he will serve as the Left Prime Minister.
Ji Lai took Zun as Zun. In other words, although he lost the position of Minister of Personnel, he served as Zun as the position of Chief Censor, but in fact he was above Fang Dazhi.
"Don't think you have gained the upper hand in the battle for the prime minister." Qin Feng said with a smile: "The competition between you and the two of you has only completed the first step. In the local area, you both have their own strengths and have achieved great results. Your Taiping County has become the strongest support for the advancement of the Ming Dynasty, but Shayang County, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhengyang and other places, has become the second largest place of wealth in the Ming Dynasty, and has only lost slightly to Yuejing City. Next, what will be tested is your ability to command the overall situation. Being able to cure a county may not necessarily cure a country. Are you a talent for a county or a talent for a country? You will be fully reflected in the position of the left and right ministers."
"I understand." Jin Jingnan stood up and bowed deeply to the ground: "I have confidence in victory."
"Okay, don't say it with your mouth. What I want to see is the actual action and the effect of action. In the court, it is no better than you in the county. In Taiping County, you are the boss who is the only one who can say the same thing, but in the court, you have to weigh more things. Some things are not something you can do as long as you want. Sometimes even if you are right, you still have to give in when you should give in."
"I understand that sometimes one step back is to make two steps!" Jin Jingnan Road.
This is Jin Jingnan's character. Even if he retreats, he is thinking about how to get back his disadvantages or even go further. However, Fang Dazhi thought about how to find a balance between interests between the two parties, retreat a little, and reach an agreement.
In the first ten years, Jin Jingnan was used, and in the next ten years, prescriptions were used to treat people very accurately. Wang Hou was really accurate in his view.
"If you leave Taiping County, who will take over?" Qin Feng asked: "Taiping County is of great importance. I don't want his current momentum to be interrupted."
"Of course it's Ge Qingsheng." Jin Jingnan said without hesitation: "He has always been the deputy magistrate of Taiping County. Taiping County has achieved its achievements today and his efforts are also in it. He succeeded as Taiping County's magistrate, so that the people of Taiping County will not be allowed to go to power, and everything here will be continued to develop. Moreover, he is familiar with everything here, and he will not be in a hurry after taking office, and Taiping County will not have problems due to the change of the county magistrate."
