Chapter 142 The new chief of the Weapon Refining Department

He never expected that this kind of work would have the effect of broadening his mind and increasing his imagination, so Liu Xuan never thought about it in that aspect.

In his eyes, even if it is really about broadening one's thinking or improving one's imagination, it seems that the person should be the writer rather than the editor.

In any case, Huang Yueying took out her design drawings, and the next thing to solve is whether everything on this drawing can be turned into reality.

"It's probably difficult!"

Not to mention anything else, the all-metal structure is not something that people can solve with just one hand today. Although in the past few years, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have begun to be familiar with and master those novel magic weapons, but now they have just

Standing on the edge of the threshold, they are barely beginners. If they are asked to use more complex or powerful tools, there will probably be many problems.

"You can first recruit a group of craftsmen with flexible minds, and then build only one ship. It is experimental. We don't expect this ship to be perfect. In short, let them adapt to the new way of working first, and then build a second ship.

, after they have completely mastered it, they can then lead apprentices based on these people..."

"Well, that's a way!"

Liu Xuan has actually been doing this method all the time, and it worked well in the past. It makes no sense that it won't work this time, so he just does it as usual.

After the matter was settled, Liu Xuan sat there and looked at Huang Yueying with a scrutinizing gaze.

"what?"

Huang Yueying, who felt uncomfortable being looked at by Liu Xuan, felt like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake...ah! She was a beautiful woman being stared at by a pervert. Her whole body was obviously covered up, but under Liu Xuan's gaze

It was as if everything was exposed before his eyes.

This feeling was not very good. Huang Yueying subconsciously covered her body with her arms: "I tell you, I am not an adult yet!"

Liu Xuan laughed: "I'm not interested in your current body, I'm thinking about another thing!"

"What?"

"If I let you take charge of the Weapon Refining Department, what kind of results can you achieve in ten years?"

Hearing that Liu Xuan actually intended to put him in charge of the world's top 'research and manufacturing' institution, Huang Yueying's already shining big eyes instantly burst into a light that was hard to look into.

That look was even more uncomfortable than when Liu Xuan looked at Huang Yueying just now.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Liu Xuan nodded.

Huang Yueying's eyes became brighter, like two small glowing light bulbs: "Then when can I take over?"

At present, the Weapon Refining Department is placed under the jurisdiction of Li Su under Jiangzuo Temple, but in fact the people in charge are Sima Yi and Shi Daoren.

Normal affairs, including the division of tasks, transfer of personnel, and allocation of materials, were all the responsibility of Sima Yi. Sima Yi was also a doctor recognized by the imperial court and belonged to the official establishment of the imperial court.

Shi Daoren's name is not on the list of court officials, and his job is similar to that of a consultant.

Among the monks recruited by the imperial court, Shi Daoren undoubtedly had the highest level of cultivation, and he also had the most thorough study of the various skills taught by Liu Xuan, so he took up this position to help out when needed.

He does a favor, solves some problems, and doesn't care about anything but just practices quietly. This is also the life he has always wanted.

In other words, Shi Daoren should not be counted in the Weapon Refining Department, and Sima Yi is the only supervisor. But Huang Yueying knew what level of talent Sima Yi was, so how could Liu Xuan think of replacing Sima Yi with herself? Not to mention that she was only in her teens.

, I am afraid that taking over the Weapon Refining Department will arouse objections from many people, right?

If this problem had been placed a few years ago, it would not have been a problem: the ministers of the imperial court thought that the Refining Department was just a thing created by the emperor for fun, just for his own entertainment. Who would be the chief official of such a department?

They don't care who they are responsible for recruiting.

But as the changes in the past few years gradually bore fruit, the princes of the imperial court gradually understood that the emperor's original arrangement was not for himself, but for the sake of the entire Han Dynasty.

At the same time, the treasures one after another produced by the Weapon Refining Department in the past few years also made them understand how powerful and important the Weapon Refining Department is, and the most fearless thing in this position is lack of merit - Sima Yi has already given it to the Refining Department.

The Weapon Division has laid the foundation, and Li Su's presence can ensure that all the materials needed by the Weapon Refining Department will be delivered as soon as possible. The emperor's attention also allows the Weapon Refining Department to not be afraid of being suppressed.

Now that news is being released that the emperor is planning to change the head of the Refining Department, I am afraid that many people will be fighting for this position. Even the most important ministers sitting in the top positions of the court will not be unresponsive.

I will definitely try my best to arrange for my own people.

Under such circumstances, although Huang Yueying didn't care much about what happened in the court, she also knew how much impact it would have if the news that she took over the Weapon Refining Department spread.

Age issues, gender issues, etc. are all enough reasons for everyone to attack her. Even if everyone knows that the emperor likes her, so what? Not to mention she is just a little girl, even if she is really the emperor's concubine

, those ministers will never take a step back when it comes to matters related to interests.

"You don't need to think about those issues, you just have to think about how to make the Weapon Refining Department play a greater role!"

Seeing Huang Yueying becoming more and more silent and the light in her eyes gradually dimming, Liu Xuan immediately guessed her worries: "I set up the Weapon Refining Department by myself. I can deal with it how I want."

There was another sentence Liu Xuan didn't say, which was, 'Whoever has an opinion and feels unhappy can just get out!' He felt that it was useless to say this, and it would be more convincing to do it.

As for another question, Liu Xuan also took the opportunity to give the answer: "Sima Yi still has a task on his hands, which is to arrange the formation map in the palace. After completing this task, he can go to the Imperial Army to report."

To the Imperial Guard?

Huang Yueying was just thinking about how Liu Xuan would arrange for Sima Yi's talent. It turns out that he was asked to lead the troops? This is good, as it can bring out Sima Yi's abilities. It is much better than sitting here doing research - besides, she

I haven't heard that Sima Yi is good at these things.

In fact, it's almost the same. Although Sima Yi worked in the Weapon Refining Department for several years, all he did was "administrative work." Although after several years of practice and study, he didn't have a complete understanding of this aspect, but after all, he lacked this aspect.

of talent.

In addition, Liu Xuan had no hope that he would further develop in this area, so seeing that Sima Yi was almost old, he quickly transferred him to a position that was more suitable for him to display his abilities.

As for the Weapon Refining Department, after Huang Yueying takes over, he can completely turn the Weapon Refining Department into a research institution. As for the administrative work? He will completely hand it over to Li Su or the master craftsman.

What's more, the Weapon Refining Department doesn't have so many miscellaneous things to do. Even if Huang Yueying is asked to do it, she won't necessarily be able to do it well. It's just who is responsible for what project, assign him a few suitable assistants, and then distribute the materials to those who need them.

That's all people have on hand.

In fact, these things are all traceable. Even those with a weak brain can do it step by step, not to mention Huang Yueying's brain is very flexible.

Speaking of which, there is no need to talk nonsense anymore. Huang Yueying's taking over the Weapon Refining Department is almost a foregone conclusion, although Sima Yi has not yet resigned, and Liu Xuan has not issued an edict to the outside world.

But both of them understood that this matter would never change again.

So the two of them gradually turned the topic elsewhere.

"By the way, I heard that Sun Ce and Liu Biao were fighting?"

Huang Yueying still has her old habit of calling everyone by their first name. She doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. Plus Liu Xuan doesn't care, so after so many years, she hasn't changed at all.

"The fight has begun. Judging from the information we have received so far, Sun Ce has a slight upper hand!"

This situation is not surprising. Although Sun Ce had the help of Yu Ji, several of his trusted generals also received certain teachings, and Yu Ji also taught some magical methods, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of Sun Ce's army.

.

But after all, it is not like the all-round improvement here in the imperial court, and the weapons and equipment have not changed much from before. Therefore, although they can gain an advantage in a real fight, the advantage can never be converted into victory.

Since the beginning of the war, there have been more than ten water battles of various sizes on the Yangtze River. However, Sun Ce has never been able to completely defeat the Jiangxia navy. And with the arrival of reinforcements from Xiangyang, Jiangling and other places, what can be seen is that this battle is still going on.

It will last longer, maybe within a year and a half, Sun Ce will not be able to break through the Yangtze River defense line.

However, Liu Xuan felt that it would not take that long. Sun Ce started the war against Liu Biao just to capture Jingzhou while the court was still busy with a bunch of trivial matters. He must have the means to avoid a stalemate.

"I guess it will be used in a while. It's hard to say about other places. Jiangxia will definitely fall!"

After capturing Jiangxia, and then concentrating our forces to attack Jiangling, and completely occupying the north bank of the Yangtze River, the battle may speed up a lot.

To be honest, Liu Biao did not have many talented people under his command, and the few truly capable generals were still being squeezed out. The only one who could really make a difference was Wenpin.

Liu Xuan really couldn't think of how Liu Biao could stop Sun Ce's generals, not to mention that while the generals were weak, the Jingzhou soldiers were not strong either.

When all the factors are combined, it seems that there is no suspense for Sun Ce to conquer Jingzhou.

"Then Jingzhou will let the Sun family take it?"

"Of course not!" Although Liu Xuan hoped that Sun Ce would bring great harm to Jingzhou, he did not want to hand Jingzhou into Sun Ce's hands. Moreover, considering that Sun Ce was very good at controlling local family clans, he also wanted to avoid seeing those guys in Jingzhou.

Take the initiative to surrender when the situation becomes critical.

Therefore, he must intervene decisively when the war reaches a certain level.

"So, I have already started preparing to send troops to Nanyang!"
