Chapter 110 Chapter 113: Datang Science and Technology Research Temple
In the 12th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, on April [-]th, the Datang Science and Technology Research Temple was finally completed. It is very strange that the Science and Technology Research Temple is not in Chang'an City, but at the foot of a hill twenty or thirty miles south of Chang'an City. , It seems to be called Cuihua Mountain.

When Li Hao received the notice to take up his post, he rode on a fast horse. He set off from home in the morning and arrived at noon. It was not too far, but not too close.

When he arrived outside the Research Temple, Li Hao was stunned. He saw only a high wall in the huge Research Temple. No, it was a city wall. It's just a sentry post. If there are trees, there will be a sentry post every two feet, and all of these sentry posts are Jinwu Guards. From these Jinwu Guards, it can be seen how much Li Shimin attaches importance to this technology research temple.

Before Li Hao approached the gate of the temple, the four Jinwu guards guarding the gate suddenly raised their spears and yelled, "Study the important place of the temple, idlers, etc., don't get close!" Strong archers pointed at Li Hao with all their bows and arrows.

Seeing this, Li Hao was so frightened that the hairs all over his body stood on end. He quickly raised his hands and said repeatedly: "Don't shoot the arrow! Don't shoot the arrow! I'm Siqing Li Hao!"

"What evidence do you have!" A general in armor suddenly walked out of the gate tower and shouted at Li Hao.

Li Hao quickly held up his appointment letter and token, and said, "This is my official plate and token!"

A Jinwu guard from below quickly came over to take the letter and token from his hand and looked at it, then turned to the armored general on the tower and said, "General Li, it is indeed the token and letter of Siqing."

The armored general hurriedly went down the tower, opened the gate and came to Li Hao, checked the official seal and the letter himself, then turned around and asked them to put away their weapons, and said to Li Hao, "It really is Li Siqing, I have offended you."

"Where is it?" Li Hao waved his hands with a dry smile, then looked at the tall armored general in front of him, and asked, "I don't know what the general's name is, what is the position of the official worship?"

General Jiaxuan said: "Zuo Jinwu Guard Zhechong Duwei, led by Zhaowu Xiaowei, Li Yuanzhong."

"Wow, it's the sixth grade!" Li Hao hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, "Greetings, General Li."

"No, please don't!" Li Yuanzhong hurried forward to stop him, and said, "Li Siqing, Your Majesty has explained that although your official position is low, you are directly under the emperor's command and are not subject to the restraint of the officials. For the time being, we have to regard you as the superior and obey your order in everything."

"Wow, I'm so awesome?" Li Hao was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

Li Yuanzhong said again: "Your Majesty also told us that we must protect you comprehensively. From now on, the humble staff will lead thirty Jinwu guards to protect Sir Siqing day and night."

"No need." Li Hao waved his hands with a smile, "I have bodyguards, I have bodyguards, so don't worry about it."

Li Yuanzhong shook his head and said: "No, Your Majesty said that the humble official must personally protect your safety."

Li Hao's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, is this really protection?Let's keep an eye on it. Although he dislikes Li Shimin's approach, he has no choice but to smack his lips and say, "Let's go in first, let me see what's going on inside."

"Yes!" Li Yuanzhong bowed his head to accept the order, and waved his big hand, "Get out of the way!" The four Jinwu guards blocking the door immediately stepped aside to make way for Li Hao.

Li Hao walked into the compound of the Research Temple, and saw a palace-like building facing him. Although it was not very luxurious, it was very large. Li Yuanzhong pointed to the palace-like building and said: "This is the temple office, your lord. A place where you go about your business and rest."

"Oh." Li Hao nodded. He didn't plan to go in. Anyway, he didn't plan to work here, so of course he didn't care about it.

At this time, the Jinwu Guard who was guarding outside suddenly shouted again: "Study the important area of ​​the temple, idlers, etc., don't get close!"

Li Hao and Li Yuanzhong were slightly shocked when they heard the sound, and they thought to themselves, who is here again?So they turned around and looked out the door, only to see a middle-aged man in a dark blue official uniform standing in the distance, and said loudly: "I am Ma Zhou, the supervisor of the Datang Science and Technology Research Temple, and I am ordered to supervise the Research Temple. "

Li Hao was shocked again when he heard the words. Is the middle-aged man with a mustache in front of him Ma Zhou? Prime Minister.

"Please show the official plate and official seal." The Jinwu Guard outside the door shouted.

Ma Zhou took out his official plate and official seal, and a Jinwu guard stepped forward to check, and returned the official plate and official seal to Ma Zhou after confirming that it was correct. Please Haihan."

Ma Zhou waved his hands and said indifferently: "The Science and Technology Research Institute is the most important place in the country, and His Majesty values ​​it very much. If you are dedicated to your duties, there is nothing wrong with it."

After he finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked towards the gate of the research institute. When he came to the gate, he saw Li Hao. He looked Li Hao up and down, then cupped his hands and said, "This must be Siqing Li Shikuang, Mr. Li."

Li Hao bowed his hand and returned the salute: "Master Ma has good eyesight, he is the boy."

Li Yuanzhong also cupped his hands and saluted: "I pay my respects to Lord Jiansi."

"General Li beat me up." Ma Zhou returned the salute, then looked at Li Hao, "Master Li just arrived too?"

Li Hao nodded and smiled: "Yes, I just arrived, and I was almost stepped on my heels by you."

Ma Zhou was taken aback when he heard the words, obviously not used to his semi-humorous words, but fortunately Ma Zhou was very smart and immediately understood what he meant, and said with a smile, "Lord Li's words are very funny."

Li Hao said: "Master Ma, please don't call me boy like that, you can't get used to it, so call me poet mad."

Ma Zhou nodded with a smile, "If that's the case, why don't you call me King Bin?"

"Okay, King Bin, we will have a happy cooperation in the future." As for chatting, Li Hao is familiar with it by nature, as long as he doesn't meet someone like Li Shimin who doesn't know how to chat, he won't stand in the cold.

Ma Zhou is actually a very old-fashioned person, but he is different from ordinary old-fashioned people. He does not reject new things. On the contrary, he likes new things very much. He is just old-fashioned, but for some reason, he and Li Hao The simple two-sentence chat was quite relaxed and pleasant, without the usual rigidity, he suddenly found that he liked such a casual feeling.

"Cooperation...pleasant..." Ma Zhou had never heard this word before, so it was a bit of a mouthful to say.

Li Hao said: "In the future, many inventions that will change the Tang Dynasty and even the world will be born here. I'm a little excited just thinking about it. King Bin, let's go in and have a look."

"Okay." Ma Zhou nodded, and the three of them began to wander around the Research Temple.

The research temple is quite large, covering an area of ​​about [-] mu. According to Li Hao's proposal, it is divided into: scientific research room, experimental department, and production department.

The scientific research department is mainly responsible for scientific research innovation and invention, while the experimental department is responsible for putting the ideas of the scientific research department into practice. As for the production department, it is the production workshop.

The scientific research room is divided into the Miscellaneous Affairs Department and the Military Affairs Department. There are currently five senior craftsmen in the research room, all recruited from the Ministry of Industry, and all of them have official positions. Although the positions are very low, they are at least official.

There are currently 25 people in the Experimental Department, who are also artisans transferred from the Ministry of Industry. There are 89 artisans in the Production Department, who are temporarily recruited by the Ministry of Industry. Not being allowed to leave the research temple is basically the same as going to jail, but their salaries are very generous, three pennies a month, which is simply astronomical price for them, no wonder some people are willing to come here.

But when Li Hao heard this salary, he snorted in disdain. It was only three yuan a month, and his salary for Lu Zhi had risen to twenty yuan a month. Under the circumstances, Li Shimin is really stingy.

Although there are not many craftsmen in the Scientific Research Temple, there are many people. Why, because there are many Jinwu Guards inside, and there are groups of three Jinwu Guards patrolling everywhere, covering every corner of the Scientific Research Institute, and there is almost no dead corner. Li Hao felt very stressed. Li Shimin attached so much importance to scientific research, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he couldn't come up with research results.

After strolling around, I have a general understanding of the scientific research temple, and the next step is to take office. Since I want to take office, I have to meet my subordinates first. Li Hao summoned all the people from the scientific research room and the experimental department to the front of the temple. open space, lined up in three rows.

This was the beginning of the pre-employment speech. Li Hao put his hands behind his back, glanced at them, and said slowly: "Masters, my surname is Li, my name is Hao, and my character is Shikuang. Shangguan, from now on, I will work with you to research and develop tools that will benefit the people and benefit the Tang Dynasty. This is my first time as an official and I have no experience. If I make trouble, I will be angry, and if I am angry, you will naturally have a bad life."

His speech on taking office was like a child's play, making all the craftsmen present laugh, and the atmosphere in the venue was a little lively.

Li Hao continued: "I know, it will be difficult for everyone to get out after entering here, but I think everyone seems to be in a good mood now, so that's good. Only when you are in a good mood will you have inspiration. As an inventor, you must have Enough inspiration is enough. In the future, whether it is the scientific research room or the experimental department, as long as you have any good ideas, you can come and tell me. Only by working together can we create more inventions."

Ma Zhou on the side couldn't bear it any longer, walked up to Li Hao, and whispered in his ear, "It's impossible for a snake to have a head."

This sentence reminded Li Hao, Li Hao nodded and smiled at him, then turned to look at the crowd, and said: "Everyone, there is a saying that a snake without a head can't do it, no matter it is the scientific research room or the experimental department, there must be a leader to coordinate the planning , the work can be smooth, who is willing to volunteer to be a leader, let me declare in advance that it is not easy to be a leader, if there is an accident, you must bear the primary responsibility, but as a leader, your monthly salary will be more money. "

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and whispered to each other, but no one volunteered, presumably they were frightened by taking responsibility.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a mustache suddenly took a step forward in the research room, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, my villain Han Xuan, I am willing to give it a try."

Li Hao sized him up and saw that he was handsome, young, and good-looking, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then you will temporarily act as the director of the scientific research department. The probationary period is three months. After three months, It is up to the subordinates to vote to decide whether you can become the official director of the scientific research department."

"Yes." Han Xuan bowed to accept the order and retreated to the queue.

With Han Xuan as a young bird, someone from the experimental department immediately came out, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the villain Lu Daliang recommends himself."

Li Hao looked at Lu Daliang, he was very short, with dark skin, thick hands and feet, probably in his thirties, not in his forties.Li Hao nodded again: "Okay, Lu Daliang, you will act temporarily as the head of the experiment department and the head of the production department, and be responsible for all matters in the experiment department and the production department. Of course, your salary will increase twice a month, and the probation period will also be three months. After three months, the subordinates will vote to decide whether you are qualified for this position."

"Thank you sir."
