The Weapon Refining Department, this is the official identity assigned to Shi Daoren by Liu Xuan.

He himself doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, because his country will definitely embark on the development direction of cultivation civilization. What's the problem with establishing a department specialized in this area early?

Maybe there will be many ministers in the court who object, and maybe some ministers will say that he is playing with things to lose his ambition - but as long as these people understand the role of the Weapon Refining Department, and let them see the effects of the things made by the Weapon Refining Department, they will soon be

Shut up.

More importantly, things like cultivation and spells are no longer mysterious things in today's court. There are already forces in the court that truly support them, and these people all know how to practice and some superficial spells.

, with their support, this matter can naturally be implemented smoothly.

In addition, since the Weapon Refining Department is to be classified as a formal court organization, there are many things to consider.

First of all, since it was a department establishment, it was necessary to determine which department it would be affiliated with. Liu Xuan had already known about this and directly assigned him to Jiangzuo Temple.

According to Liu Xuan's plan for the court, these casting-like matters should be placed under the Ministry of Industry, but the problem now is that the things manufactured by the Refining Department cannot be equipped in large quantities to all soldiers in a short period of time.

In addition to the lack of manpower in the Weapon Refining Department, many things are still in the preliminary stage, and the reason why the soldiers of the imperial court have not popularized the practice of exercises is also a reason.

For these reasons, it is inappropriate to place it under the Ministry of Industry. After all, the department of the Ministry of Industry that is responsible for ordnance manufacturing is responsible for the supply of ordnance to the entire imperial army. If it is divided into a separate department, it will inevitably appear a bit confusing. At the same time, for the Ministry of Industry

For Shangshu, management is also a difficult problem.

In this case, it is better to stay under Shozuo Temple.

There are no important things to deal with at Shosakuji Temple. The main job of Shosakuji Temple is to maintain and repair the palace. Other than that, there is no other important work.

Liu Xuan originally intended to reorganize Jiangzuo Temple, but at this time he discovered that Jiangzuo Temple was not useless. The Weapon Refining Department was hung under Jiangzuo Temple, which was very unattractive.

At the same time, Zuosuo Temple can also be changed and the things it is responsible for can be re-adjusted, turning Zuo Zuo Temple into a high-end weapons manufacturing workshop or research and testing department. As for the things that were originally responsible for the maintenance of the palace, they can be classified into another one.

Small departments are responsible.

"But who should be in charge of this Weapon Refining Department?"

The affairs of the Weapon Refining Department are very important. This is the foundation of the weapons reform of the Han Dynasty. If the person in charge is not chosen well, many of his ideas may not be implemented correctly.

After all, Liu Xuan couldn't go to Jiangzuo Temple every day and keep an eye on him. He still had more things to deal with.

Although Shi Daoren is his favorite monk, the head of the Weapon Refining Department is not only responsible for internal manufacturing, but more importantly, he has to deal with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. This is not the case with Shi Daoren. His status as a Taoist priest will definitely make the court

The exclusion of Chinese and Chinese martial arts is not conducive to the development of the Weapon Refining Department - the most important point is that the materials needed by the Weapon Refining Department must be obtained by the person in charge, right? Will Shi Dao people do this? It is estimated that a thunder method will be used to strike it.

It's easier for Shi Tao people to grab it.

Some people may think that with the emperor's backing, who dares not to give face? But which of these court veterans are not good people? Naturally, they will not make things difficult for others openly. But they have to do something to make you feel aggrieved and say no.

It stands to reason that all of them are masters of this art.

Liu Xuan didn't want to compete with these old ghosts every day after the Weapon Refining Department was established, so the person in charge needed to be determined early.

Along the way, Liu Xuan was thinking about this matter while resting. Maybe he was in a daze too much. Both Cai Yan and Diao Chan saw that he was worried, so when the team stopped by a river to rest,

Cai Yan leaned next to Liu Xuan and asked, "Is there anything bothering Your Majesty?"

"Yeah!" He had nothing to hide from the people closest to him: "I want to form a new department specifically to manufacture magic weapons for soldiers and soldiers, but the person in charge is hard to make a decision."

As soon as Cai Yan heard this, he understood Liu Xuan's concerns, but it turned out that the person in charge was unable to establish a good relationship with the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government, which caused many of Liu Xuan's plans to come to nothing.

After all, she came from a wealthy family, and her father was the Minister of Rites of the current dynasty. She has been exposed to many things since she was a child. Although she has not studied them specifically, she can still deduce them.

However, she couldn't solve this problem, but when she saw Sima Yi talking to Liu Xie not far away, Cai Yan suddenly asked: "Why did your Majesty bring that Sima Yi with him on this inspection tour?"

The topic seemed to have gone to another place at once, but it also woke up Liu Xuan.

"Yes, I kidnapped that kid here to train him and reuse him, right? Normally, it might take some time for this kid Sima Yi to embark on an official career, but now there is an excellent opportunity, which is just right for him.

This young Sima Zhongda will do it."

He patted his forehead, turned around and kissed Cai Yan's forehead: "If Wen Ji hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten this matter."

She was suddenly attacked by Liu Xuan. Although it had been a long time since they got married, in broad daylight and in full view of everyone, she was kissed so firmly by him. Cai Yan felt as if her face was burning.

It looked like it was ripe, and his head was so low that it almost got into the collar of his clothes.

It happened that the person who did this was the current emperor and her husband. She had nothing to say, so she could only lower her head and feel shy. This appearance not only made Liu Xuan amused, but Diao Chan next to her couldn't help laughing.

, which made Cai Yan even more shy and wished she could just jump into the river and never come out again.

Seeing how embarrassed she was, Liu Xuan did not continue teasing her, but turned to look at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi is definitely a talent, but that was Sima Yi decades later. At the moment, Sima Yi is still a young man with extraordinary qualifications. Whether he can become a talent or not is still open to question.

But in terms of nature, Sima Yi definitely has an advantage over other young people. If Liu Xuan trains carefully, it is not impossible to train a more powerful Sima Yi.

And compared to the original Sima Yi, Liu Xuan was more willing to give this young man enough opportunities to experience, so the Weapon Refining Department was undoubtedly a suitable place.

It is naturally impossible for Sima Yi to be in charge of a department. After all, he is too young. However, if Sima Yi is allowed to join the weapon refining department as a foreign minister, the princes in the court will not only not oppose it, but they will also try their best to support it - Sima Yi has a good background.

, and his father Sima Fang is currently serving as Jing Zhaoyin.

It is also very popular in the court, and the Sima family is also a wealthy family. Although it has been a little lonely in recent years, there is still hope. The representatives of the noble families in the court also hope that more people of the same class will enter the court to work, so they will not

be opposed to.

In addition, with such a relationship, if Sima Yi is responsible for dealing with the civil and military affairs of the court, they will not maliciously embarrass him. If the embarrassment is made, it will not only make the emperor unhappy, but also offend Sima Fang. They will not do this.

It's easy to make enemies for yourself.

Therefore, no matter from any aspect, it is a good choice for Sima Yi to join the Weapon Refining Department. As for the doctor of the Weapon Refining Department (the head of the first department is the doctor), this candidate still needs to go back and think about it, but as long as we find someone who can

It's enough to be someone who is in charge temporarily. After Sima Yi has experienced it for a few years, he will be promoted directly.

Since he decided to train Sima Yi, there was no need to observe anything. Originally, he wanted to take Sima Yi on a long circuit around the northwest, and then return to the capital to teach him the cultivation method.

But now, let him practice as soon as possible so that he can master the knowledge earlier. Maybe in this year, he can still create some surprises!

With this idea in mind, Liu Xuan specifically asked Sima Yi to join him in the big tent when they were having dinner. Originally, the only people eating in this tent were Liu Xuan and his two younger brothers. The female family members were eating alone in another tent.

—Occasionally, I would invite a few close civil and military officials to have dinner with me.

Sima Yi was able to get Liu Xuan's name to eat with him, which also showed how much the emperor valued this young man.

For example, Xun You, Zhong Yao and others immediately understood that the future of this young man named Sima Yi was unlimited, especially when today's emperor is the employer. If he is really valued by Liu Xuan, he will definitely be one of the six ministers and nine ministers in the court in the future.

of a location.

Sima Yi himself had roughly such a guess. Although he was secretly happy in his heart, he didn't show it at all while eating. Moreover, when Liu Xuan asked questions, he responded easily, which made Liu Xuan sigh: "This Sima Yi is not a deep man in the city."

It’s something I gained through experience later!”

By the time the meal was about to be finished, Sima Yizheng felt that his performance was not bad. Just as he was taking a deep breath, he suddenly heard the emperor ask: "It's been a while since Zhongda came out together. I don't know what happened."

What did you learn?”

According to normal circumstances, a man will not be given a surname until he reaches adulthood. However, many children of wealthy families have already chosen a surname at a very young age. People like Sima Yi, who came from a family like Sima Yi, naturally decided on their surname early.

When Sima Yi heard the emperor's inquiry, he lowered his head and replied, but Liu Xuan was not very satisfied with these replies, especially because most of what he said were empty words and did not have much practical significance.

"Has Zhongda ever observed those fertile fields with continuous bumper harvests? Have you noticed any difference?"

In fact, when Sima Yi came out this time, he really followed Xun You around to look around at the harvest fields. He was also very curious about the continuous bumper harvests around Chang'an.

But the more I looked at it, the weirder it became, especially after I saw that Xun Shangshu occasionally dug out a piece of jade from somewhere near a field, it became even more strange.

With his keen eyesight and quick thinking, he could naturally guess that the jade was a very important thing, but he still could not connect the jade with the two consecutive years of good harvests.

Until the emperor asked at this time, he suddenly had a premonition: he might know something extraordinary!!
