Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1519 The Way of Balance
His Majesty Li Er had a gentle face and listened intently, but there was no joy or anger in his expression.

Yu Wenjian continued to chatter: "Your Majesty, the Shaofu Supervisor and the Military Weapons Supervisor are responsible for the manufacture and maintenance of all weapons and armor in the empire. After such a commotion, all the craftsmen under our command are emotionally moved. They were obedient and let themselves be governed, and every task of ordnance can be completed on time, but now there are no one who stays peacefully in the Shaofu prison and the military Prisoner? I'm afraid I have wings in my heart, and I want to fly to the Ministry of War to eat and drink... Your Majesty, artisans are lowly, although they are not as good as slaves, but after all they are not ordinary people. It makes people's hearts flutter, how will the mission of this armored armor be completed in the future?"

At first glance, this statement seems to have some truth.

People do not suffer from scarcity but inequality. In the past, craftsmen were all squeezed out, and everyone was treated equally. Even if life is difficult, they can only suffer in silence, because everyone is the same... But now suddenly a Fang Jun pops up, With the yelling that "those who are capable work more, and are paid according to their work", the gap immediately appeared!

Why do we work so much and so much under your hands that we can't even get enough food for a year, but the same craftsmen can work more and get more in the Ministry of War?
Let no one do it!
However, there is a paradox here-why do you squeeze the craftsmen to death for profit, and others must be like you?
Not only is His Majesty Li Er not a fool, but he is much more shrewd than most emperors throughout the ages, so he can clearly see the key points.To be honest, His Majesty Li Er also despises craftsmen. He is not unaware of the oppression of artisans by military inspectors, Shaofu inspectors, etc., but it has always been like this. Acknowledging his fate, why should he be troublesome?
But it is different now.

Since Fang Jun jumped out to expose this veil, as an emperor, he had to make a choice between sticking to the rules or changing course, and the result of making peace would be to destroy the existing stable situation and make the artisan group buzzing with enthusiasm. .

No matter how much he despises craftsmen, His Majesty Li Er knows that for a huge empire, the group of craftsmen must not be chaotic...

In fact, how to choose is very simple. You only need to look at Fangjia Iron Works and Huating Town, which have been implemented in accordance with Fang Junzhi's policy of "work more for those who are capable, and get paid according to their work" to draw a conclusion-Fangjia Iron Works in just a few years As time passed, the Changsun Family Iron Works, which was originally the largest in Datang, was crushed under him and became a rising star in the iron industry of Datang. Huating Town even built the largest dock in Datang under the obstruction of Jiangnan gentry with countless manpower. The shipyard, the wharf, and even repaired the port to Linyi Country...

And what about the Military Weapons Supervisor and Shaofu Supervisor?
The craftsmen who control more than [-]% of the Great Tang, but their efficiency is getting lower and lower, and there are more and more defective products...

Which is better and which is worse is self-evident.

His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, and asked slowly: "So you dare to ask uncle, why teach me?"

Yu Wenjian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and was about to have a long talk, but suddenly his heart jumped, and he looked at His Majesty Li Er who raised his sword eyebrows in shock, and couldn't believe it...

What did the emperor just say?

Why teach me...

Looking at the world, who can make the supreme being in the world say "Why teach me"?

Even Sun Simiao, Yuan Tiangang, etc. who are unparalleled in their respective fields who are pedantic and unparalleled in the world, would not dare to be an emperor, let alone a Shaofu supervisor who manages craftsmen in a mere area? !

No matter how you hear it, it's not a good word...

Yu Wenjian was so frightened that he got up quickly, bowed to the ground, and said in panic: "Your Majesty beats the old minister, how can the old minister dare to teach His Majesty?"

His Majesty Li Er smiled faintly, holding a teacup in his hand, and said casually: "What is the uncle talking about? You are my father's playmate, my elder, and I have watched me grow up since I was a child, and I have a deep affection. Fang Jun, although He is my son-in-law, but his identity should be an official of the court... So, as long as what my uncle says is reasonable, I will naturally do anything."

Princess Changle, who was quietly pouring tea and water, twitched her lips slightly, and almost laughed out loud. What the father said...was so good!
Yu Wenjian is an old man, and he has been in the officialdom all his life. How can he not understand what His Majesty Li Er said?
He is just an elder, and the emperor talked about favors with him; while Fang Jun was a minister, talking about government affairs...how could Yu Wenjian not understand the meaning here?

With an old face flushed, Yu Wenjian knew that His Majesty was angry, and saluted tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please forgive this old minister for his recklessness... The old minister is not feeling well, and the Shaofu Supervisor is busy with official duties, please Your Majesty to allow the old minister to report illness and take care of him in the mansion. It's just that the Shaofu Supervisor is responsible for many miscellaneous tasks. If there is no one in charge, the people may be in chaos. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to choose someone else to lead the Shaofu Supervisor.

He understood it!
The emperor's love for Fang Jun's stick is incomparable, and he can turn a deaf ear to and turn a blind eye to the bad incidents of the Shaofu Supervisor and other court yamen alongside dogs, so how can there be any reason for the huge humiliation he has suffered?
Instead of being ridiculed by officials in the future, it is better to retire as soon as possible, and continue to receive the emperor's incense, so that the children and grandchildren will benefit...

However, as soon as he said these words, he saw the face of His Majesty the Emperor in front of him suddenly gloomy, his tiger eyes flickering, and he said in a deep voice, "Yuwen Jianzheng, what do you mean?! The thing is that Fang Jun is wrong, he should not have insulted you with such despicable words, I have already asked you how you plan to deal with it, aren’t you satisfied? On the contrary, you have many reasons to ask for resignation, could it be that you have feelings for me? Resentment, thinking that I favor Fang Jun, rewards and punishments are unfair?"

Has Yu Wenjian ever seen such anger from His Majesty?Trembling with fright, Dang even knelt in front of His Majesty Li Er for the rest of his life...

He was just over sixty years old when he got a low-level official position like a supervisor of the Shaofu. He has little talent and no morals.
"The old minister dare not... The loyalty of the old minister to His Majesty can be learned from the sun and the moon. How dare you have a disrespectful heart? Your Majesty, please calm down. Just now, the old minister was talking nonsense. You should treat it as the old minister fart, and the old minister will take it back It is..."

Yu Wenjian looked panic-stricken, and pleaded guilty on the ground.

His Majesty Li Er seems to be generous, but his heart is cruel and merciless. Which of these old people who have gone through the changes of Xuanwumen didn't know?Therefore, once His Majesty Li Er's anger flares up, that is, Ma Zhou Fangjun and other young courtiers dare to remonstrate directly, except for a strange Wei Zheng who "invites his name with life and death", who among the older generation would dare to stroke His Majesty Li Er's beard?

His Majesty Li Er was so angry that everyone was terrified!

His Majesty Li Er snorted, looked indifferent, and said slowly: "As for the calligraphy, I will sue Fang Jun, remove it due to his fame, and impose appropriate punishment. But regarding the craftsman, we should take care of our own. Well, the Foundry Bureau has just been established, and the investment is huge, and Fang Jun is also under great pressure, so he has to come up with the strategy of poaching people. As for the so-called "capable people work more, pay according to work" and other measures, I don't agree with it, just do it yourself The thing is, why is Fang Jun not allowed to implement it? If Fang Jun’s action is unreasonable, he will naturally abandon it within a few days, but if the action is appropriate, why is there any reason to refute it? Let’s let this matter go, if uncle If you are not feeling well, you need to go back to your residence to recuperate, but don’t mention the words of retiring from an official position in the future, you are a good friend of the emperor, how can I be so ungrateful? Just don’t worry.”

Although he was partial to Fang Junzhi's move, as the emperor, the first thing he thought of was not whether the government order was reasonable, but how to balance and stabilize the court situation.For the implementation of government orders, the world must first be smooth, otherwise no matter how good the government order is, it will not have the desired effect.

Everything must be based on stability, and the emperor's highest achievement is to maintain a balance between the various forces as always.

Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty was amazingly talented and brilliant, and it was precisely because he did not know the way of balance that the various forces in the DPRK and China parted ways, causing wars everywhere in the world, ruining the great Sui Dynasty...

Balance is king!
Yu Wenjian breathed a sigh of relief quietly. Although he was beaten up by His Majesty, he also got a promise. Knowing that His Majesty will not target him, how dare he stay here again?
If you say too much, you will lose, in case that sentence makes His Majesty angry again...

Yu Wenjian hurriedly said: "The old minister understands His Majesty's intentions, so he must be conscientious, diligent in official duties, and live up to His Majesty's trust. The old minister resigns..."

"Well, go back and take care of your body. You don't have to rush the official duties of the Shaofu Prison. Your body is more important."

His Majesty Li Er's role rose, and he warned gently.

"Well..."

Yu Wenjian quickly responded, took two steps back, and then turned and walked out of the hall.

All the way out of the Tai Chi Palace, Yu Wenjian just wiped his forehead, his hands were sweaty, but he broke out in a cold sweat just now...

Now the panic is gone, and the anger in his heart is gradually filling up again. Just thinking about the words Fang Jun hung on the entrance of the military department, he has the urge to vomit a mouthful of old blood...

So annoying!

The most abominable thing is that His Majesty is so partial to that stick!

Yu Wenjian was not angry from the bottom of his heart, and said in his heart that I dare not trouble Fang Jun again, so why can't I persuade others to go?The benefit of the craftsman was not only swallowed by himself, on the contrary, as the supervisor of the young mansion, he only got a small margin, but the big head was taken away by those aristocratic families...

If Fang Jun is allowed to go on like this, even if the Military Weapons Superintendent and Young Mansion Supervisor are tough on the craftsmen, they can still predict that the craftsmen will be passive and sabotage, so they can't all be killed, right?
If the craftsmen slow down their work, the benefits they get will inevitably decrease. He doesn't believe that those aristocratic families can still sit still...

Thinking of this, Yu Wenjian got into Hou's carriage at the door with a serious face, and ordered: "Go to Song Guogong's mansion!"

　After the exam, the child made a fuss about going to the movies, so I had to go with him in the evening. Xu Zheng's movies were of the same standard as before, and I was deeply touched... The annual safety supervision bureau training at the gas station at home, today and tomorrow, cannot be absent. Otherwise, no certificate will be issued, so tomorrow's two chapters will be updated at night, and I hope you understand.Brothers are in a different situation, and there is no way to work full-time...
