Xun Wenqian immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think this is not allowed."
"Oh?" Liu Xie looked at Xun Wenqian in surprise.
Fu Shou was also a little surprised. Xun Wenqian's behavior today was different from before. She had a very clear attitude. Unlike before, she hid half of what she said and left the rest to guessing, so as not to give others a thumbs up.
"This is the first book recommendation meeting. It was originally a private gathering for Wang Can and others. The Yin Fang only provided sponsorship to make the Yin Fang famous. Privately speaking, the Yin Fang should not interfere too much with the agenda of the party. Publicly speaking, the Yin Fang should not interfere too much with the agenda of the party.
For me, since this is the first time, there will inevitably be differences, so it’s not appropriate to seek perfection and blame, as long as it doesn’t violate established laws.”
Liu Xie thought for a while and felt it made sense, then turned to look at Fu Shou. "What does the Queen think?"
Fu Shou said with a smile: "Mr. Xun is familiar with the situation and has seen many people. I have always admired him."
Xun Wenqian quickly said a few words of modesty, but her burning gaze still fell on Liu Xie.
Liu Xie thought about it and accepted Xun Wenqian's suggestion.
Everything is a bit rough the first time, so you can't ask for too much. If you insist on following your own requirements, it will only make things difficult for Mrs. Tang, and may also make Wang Can and others lose their enthusiasm, and they will not do it in the future.
Despite this, he still has some ideas of his own.
"You all should go and have a look. It will increase your knowledge. If you have the opportunity, you can also sponsor some similar gatherings in the future. When it comes to money, the weaving workshop is much better than the printing workshop."
Fu Shou echoed: "What your Majesty is saying is that the sealing workshop has the responsibility of educating people, so it is not a bad idea to talk more about classics and history. The weaving workshop is for economic reasons, so it can be more direct and specifically sponsor related technologies."
Liu Xie glanced at Fu Shou and laughed.
After more than half a year of managing the weaving workshop, Fu Shou has become more confident in both speaking and doing things.
"It's up to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After talking about the book recommendation meeting, Liu Xie asked about the year-end rewards from Zhifang.
Fu Shou gave a general report on the situation.
The profits of the weaving mill this year are good. According to Liu Xie's opinion, she generally gives generous rewards to the craftsmen and workers in the weaving mill. Those with higher grades will receive an extra half-year's salary, and the least one can get an extra month's salary.
Unlike management positions, the rewards for technical positions are richer. Some craftsmen with particularly good skills received a salary equal to one year. Because the quantity was huge, they could only be paid in gold. When dozens of gold cakes were placed in front of them,
Many people were shocked and the scene was full of effects.
If nothing else happens, such news will soon spread throughout the city, and more people will apply for the job when we expand production and recruit workers next year.
[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】
For Wan City, there will also be a purchasing boom in these two days.
Each workshop is handing out year-end rewards one after another. Once the craftsmen have money in their hands, they will definitely make purchases. Including high-end fabrics produced by weaving workshops, there will be a wave of explosion.
Liu Xie nodded while listening, feeling happy but also a little worried.
Industry and commerce can indeed make you rich quickly, but if industry and commerce attracts too many people, agricultural production will inevitably be affected. There is already a problem of insufficient household registration. If it is not controlled, there will be a shortage of food.
"Has there been any reply from the Agricultural School?"
Xun Wenqian shook her head. "Not so soon. The Chinese New Year will be here in the next two days. Who wants to study knowledge? I guess there will be people coming after the new year, especially those who return home to visit relatives. When I return to Chang'an, I will pass by here."
Although he knew that Xun Wenqian was right, Liu Xie was still a little anxious.
Agriculture is the foundation, and chemical fertilizers are the foundation of agriculture. The earlier we study, the earlier we can produce results.
But now that the matter has come to this, he can't push too hard.
The three of them talked for a long time, then each washed up and rested.
——
Lying side by side on the bed, Liu Xie asked about Xun Yu.
Xun Wenqian did not hide anything, and told Xun Huo that he was studying Severus, and finally asked Liu Xiedao: "What is there to study about Severus?"
Liu Xie did not answer immediately.
He could probably guess why Xun You studied Severus. In fact, he was also more concerned about Severus's affairs and hoped that someone would do in-depth research. Xun You had this interest, which he couldn't ask for.
After several years of data collection, he had a general understanding of the situation in Rome. The more he studied, the more he realized that there were many similarities between the Han Dynasty and Rome, and Severus was the Roman version of Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo came from Liangzhou, and Severus came from Africa.
Dong Zhuo was born in the army and survived many battles. Severus was the son of a knight and had been on the battlefield since he was a child.
Dong Zhuo entered the capital as a border general and took control of the court, while Severus seized power by force.
The only difference is that Dong Zhuo failed and was infamy for thousands of years, but Severus succeeded in usurping the throne and became the emperor of Rome.
In addition to the fact that the throne of the Han Dynasty paid more attention to the inheritance of blood, and it was more difficult to usurp the throne with different surnames, while Rome did not have such obstacles, there were some other more important reasons.
For example, the civic education in Rome was far less popular than that in the Han Dynasty, and there was no solid common people class.
Although the two empires that stood side by side in the East and West were not much different in size and population, their compositions were vastly different. The provinces of the Roman Empire and the prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty seemed to be the same, but in fact they were completely different concepts.
The states and counties of the Han Dynasty also tended to be separatist, while the Roman provinces naturally had centrifugal force.
The number of citizens in Rome was far less than that of common people in the Han Dynasty. Even if they were forced to grant citizenship to some foreigners, the main population of Rome was still slaves, and citizens accounted for a very small proportion.
Correspondingly, the number of people with basic education is also very limited, and the overall cultural level is not high.
In contrast, although the Han Dynasty also had slaves, the proportion was not large, and the level of education was higher than in Rome.
This also proves Liu Xie's theory from another angle: the people are the foundation of the empire.
"Since he is interested, let's study it carefully." Liu Xie spread out his arms and held Xun Wenqian in his arms. "Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Your Majesty, this piece of beautiful jade really needs to be considered."
Xun Wenqian raised her head. "Your Majesty, can I tell him this?"
"Of course." Liu Xie smiled and said, "If he is willing, he can stay in Wancheng for a while."
"Then I'll tell him early tomorrow morning."
"Then there's no need to worry. He is an adult and a famous person who has been famous for a long time. He is not a child who doesn't understand anything. You have to have confidence in him and believe that he can discover something on his own."
Liu Xie thought for a while and then said: "He Yong said that he is a talented person from Wang Zuo, but I have higher expectations for him."
"What expectations?"
"The hand of the emperor." Liu Xie raised a smile, and the little golden hand in the drama appeared in his mind.
That little golden hand is simply a curse. Those who wear this little golden hand on their chests almost never end well. They are either poisoned or beheaded. Either they are despised by their biological father and want to kill him quickly, or they are betrayed by their traitorous son.
Assassination and a very undignified death in the toilet.
Although the prime minister of the Han Dynasty is not so miserable, it is still a high-risk position. Especially the prime minister when the British Lord was in power. Either he did nothing, or he did not end well.
The emperor and the prime minister are both partners and competitors. They love each other until death.
"The hand of the emperor?"
Liu Xie shook his head. "No, it's the Prime Minister."
Xun Wenqian took a breath of air, raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes widened.
