Zhang Qian immediately understood His Majesty’s worries.

His Majesty is really far-sighted.

Just by looking at this memorial, I understand the difficulties.

The court knew nothing about this thing at all, so... only God knows whether it is good or bad during the research process.

Of course... this is obviously not a problem with the research institute, it is a problem with the imperial court.

At this time, Li Shimin carried his hands behind his back and wandered: "The court needs to select some such people as officials and set up a research temple. All the officials in the temple are selected from the Jinshi and Juren from the West. Haven't they all learned this? Let them specialize in managing the affairs of the Academy of Sciences and skilled craftsmen. In addition, this time it's just fine, I will give them some face."

After saying that, Li Shimin spread the memorial, pondered for a moment, then took the red pen, wrote a line of words on the pen, and handed it to Zhang Qiandao: "Send it to the door to issue an edict to inform the world."

"Here."

Zhang Qian didn't dare to look at what was written on him, but he just took the charter and turned around and saved it down.

The next day, eunuchs came to the research institute.

Not only did he gather the people from the institute and others, he also ordered Wu Zi to arrive here too.

Wu Qi was confused and answered the orders with the people in the institute.

The eunuch bowed and said, "The subordinates said:..."

As a decree came down, the institute suddenly burst into joy.

Even Wu Xi could not help but be moved.

This time, Your Majesty gave great favors.

Starting with Wu Zhi, he was granted the title of Chief Secretary of the Prince's Mansion of Shuofang County because of his merits in the development.

A female friend actually directly won the title of official position.

Even in an era like the Tang Dynasty, this is the first time.

Every royal palace should have a chief minister, and the official position should be determined according to the specifications of different palaces.

For example, the chief ministers of the Prince's Mansion are generally in the third rank, while the county prince's mansion has only the fourth rank. In addition, there are chief ministers of the governor's mansion, as well as various guards, army, and states.

This is a pirated official position, just like Deng Jian was the chief of the Tiance Army. They were in charge of all civil servants in the mansion, which was actually equivalent to the "prime ministers" of each mansion.

Your Majesty's decree formally determined the status of Wu Qi in the Chen family. Any place under the jurisdiction of this county prince's palace, no matter what it is, will be responsible for the "prime minister". All documents and money and grain expenditures are from the hands of the chief minister.

In the past, there was no chief secretary of the county prince's palace. This was because Chen Zhengtai was newly appointed as the prince. Chen Zhengtai was not very interested in the chief secretary, and he did not think about who would do it. Instead, Wu Yu, the secretary, used it easily, but Wu Yu was a woman, and he could not report it.

Li Shimin was obviously too lazy to give Chen Zhengtai a chief minister to get in the way. His Majesty knew very well that if he had no reason to appoint a chief minister to the Shuofang County Prince's Mansion for no reason, the Chen family would have to make trouble with this person.

Since that's the case, it's just empty. You Chen's family's affairs are your own.

But now... Li Shimin obviously thinks that Wu Yu is very suitable. Regardless of whether she is a female or not, no man is as strong as Wu Yu, so she is the only one.

Now, Wu Yu is considered an official who receives a salary and has become the first woman in the world to have an official position. This is different from the female officials in the palace. The female officials in the palace manage the duties of the palace. The chief minister of the county prince's palace is really like the men, with official titles of official titles and ranks.

Wu Yu couldn't help but admire Li Shiminsheng at this time, and set a precedent in history. After all, he had to have courage. The ordinary emperor only knew how to follow the rules. On the one hand, he did not have enough prestige to make his ministers agree with him, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to "make a laugh."

But Li Shimin is different. I have decided to do it. Who dares to disobey and stand up? And as for being laughed at... Although Li Shimin also wants shame, since Wu Zi is suitable for his duties, what's wrong?

It is rare to be talented. I think she will not do anything ridiculous, so that's it.

Not only Wu Qi, but almost all the researchers reported to him were 97, of which 83 were all named county men.

The county man is the lowest-level title, with only a little salary, but he has officially entered the real aristocratic class.

Although this is nothing more than any founding county official and founding county official. As for those county official and state official, there are even more differences. But for ordinary people... it is almost a big leap in status! Since then, even if they return to their hometowns and meet local parents and officials, they don’t have to bow down, but instead treat each other with respect and have the qualification to be on an equal footing.

As for the salary of the county, it is actually not high. It is naturally not as good as the salary of the institute when it is distributed, but if you work in the institute, you will get two salary, which is a great thing after all.

In addition to the eighty-three people who were granted the county men, there were fourteen people who were granted the county men. The county men were from the fifth rank, and the county was the fifth rank!

Of course, among the complex system of titles, dispersed positions, medal positions, actual positions and official positions in the Tang Dynasty, these fifth-rank titles are not actually very noble, but these fourteen people... are still satisfied, which means that the court directly gave 800 acres of Yongye land and had a status.

Those who did not make contributions in the steam locomotives couldn't help but show regret and envy.

Such a god-given opportunity, I didn’t seize it, it’s really a hell.

Those who receive the will are so happy that they cheer. You must know... there are many people here... actually coming to the research institute under the tremendous pressure from their homes.

They were also the best graduates in the school, and some of them had the reputation of juren and scholars, but they really didn't want to study. With their love for research, they decided to enter the research institute.

But for their relatives in their family, it is obviously not the best choice. Isn’t studying just for being an official? That’s fine. After half of the time, I entered the research institute. So what if my salary is high, can I compare to being an official?

Such a mental disorder is difficult to eliminate, even if you advise a thousand words and ten thousand things, you will not be able to do it.

But now... it is completely different after being granted a title.

What's more... this decree actually gives many people a hope, that is, as long as you stay in the research institute, you may not know which day will produce new achievements, and it will be another great achievement. As for things outside the window, you naturally don't have to worry about them or pay attention to them anymore.

The institute was lively for a whole day, so many people asked about the methods of entering the institute that day.

Of course... Your Majesty's decree has also caused a lot of controversy in the court.

At first, it was said that it was not a title without military merit. Now, not only did it open the gap, but when the gap was opened, it also seemed like opening the gate to release water.

Although it is just a worthless county and county men, it cannot be like this.

This especially caused dissatisfaction among the middle and lower-level military officers. Everyone fought hard and finally earned a small title, but now they were also granted the title like a group of unknown people. How could they bear it!

Fortunately, Li Shimin is still in power and can hold on to the scene, so everyone is just complaining.

…………

However, at this moment, Cui Zhizheng arrived at the Chen family in a carriage.

The Cui family learned the news, but it was actually already in full swing.

After roughly calculating, the Cui family earned at least 400,000 trump cards at one time from the benefits of Xining.

This used to be a big sum, but for the current Cui family, it was simply a life-saving benefit.

Not only that... Now many people are inquiring about Xining's land, but many people are actually moved.

Although I was beaten by Jingci, this investment was so exciting. After trying it once, many people became more active.

The Chen family has begun to take the opportunity to launch land transactions in Xining. To a certain extent, the Chen family hopes that more people will buy and sell land in Xining.

The crisis of the Cui family has been resolved, at least... this huge family... can finally continue its wealth.

The Cui family was always prescient in their eyes for Cui Zhizheng, and their contempt in the past suddenly turned into flattery.

Of course... Cui Zhizheng was not happy.

Only 400,000 trump sums?

When the Cui family was at the peak of Jingci transactions, they had assets of tens of millions of yuan. Although it was a piece of paper profit, it was like this. After enjoying the piece of paper profit, everything was a small amount of money.

Cui Zhizheng's carriage was parked at the door of Chen's house.

Then... someone went up and handed over the famous post.

After a while, the third uncle of the Chen family came out in person.

Even if the Cui family is weak, with hundreds of years of experience, it is still the most famous family in the eyes of the world. Cui Zhizheng got out of the car and then... entered the middle hall with his third uncle.

As soon as he sat down, Cui Zhizheng said, "Mr. Chen, let me tell the truth. I am here to find His Highness the Prince. I wonder where His Highness is?"

The third uncle smiled and said, "This... I'm asking Zhengtai... Actually, if you have something to do, it's the same as me."

Cui Zhizheng actually said very seriously: "No, I can only ask His Highness Shuofang Prince to say that this matter is too big. It's not that I have any underestimation to Mr. Chen, but... I'm afraid Mr. Chen can't make the decision."

The third uncle was not angry, and he just smiled. Since the other party made such a request, what else can he do?

So he immediately ordered people: "Go and invite Zhengtai."

...

Chen Zhengtai was forced to come.

To be honest, he doesn't like socializing at all, especially with these aristocratic races. He feels like he will never be able to fit into their circle.

So Chen Fu tried his best to persuade Chen Zhengtai and kept coaxing Chen Zhengtai, which allowed Chen Zhengtai to arrive at the central hall.

Seeing Chen Zhengtai come in, Choi Zhizheng saluted and then sat down.

Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "Mr. Cui, you and I are considered old friends."

"Of course... Didn't my son Cui Yan die because of Your Highness?" Cui Zhizheng said lightly.

What you said... All you lost is your son, but what I, Chen Zhengtai, lost... is... what is it...

Chen Zhengtai suddenly became embarrassed and couldn't help but complain...

This uncle, are you suitable to mention this at this time?

But Cui Zhizheng seemed very calm, and then said, "But I, Cui Zhizheng, is the leader of a clan, and is responsible for the honor and disgrace of the Cui family in Qinghe. I have many sons and countless relatives. Since Cui Yan was guilty at the beginning, he was of course responsible for his own fault. All the past has passed... there is no need to worry about it."

He spoke with a sense of indifference.

But if you think about it carefully, people of this era... can control a family member. If their relationship is too rich, they will probably be in a state of stagnation.

Look at the Li family, isn’t it also “father is kind and son is filial”?

This kind of father and son and brother's fight may not be understood by later generations, but in this era... it is not new.
To be continued...
