Although Lin Jiancheng was the number one scholar in the imperial examination, he is not a firm believer in Confucianism (Philosophical & Ethical).
Lin Jiancheng is just like the reformers in history.
Both are staunch pragmatists (advocated by practical consideration).
This kind of pragmatism means that if anything can make the country rich and strong, Lin Jiancheng supports it wholeheartedly.
Lin Jiancheng saw Chen Fubai's talent in his book "Knowledge of Nature".
Chen Fubai may not be a qualified scholar, but he is definitely a good craftsman!
The more he read this book, the more Lin Jiancheng was amazed.
Chen Fubai did not simply extract these craftsman skills from ancient books and religions, but he also practiced them himself!
He even noted down the possible improvements and the cause & effect of improving those parts.
This shows that Chen Fubai is not a person with empty theories, he is a person who can make these theories into reality!
Talent!
Your Majesty is indeed the Sage of Heaven!
He can recognize such talents with discerning eyes!
Lin Jiancheng immediately said, "Master Chen, I wonder where you want to go?"
Chen Fubai was also very excited.
First, he was treated courteously by the emperor, and then he was also treated courteously here by the Chief Assistant of the cabinet.
This made Chen Fubai, who had been poor for half of his life, very excited.
"Your Majesty asked me to go to the Ministry of Industry."
Lin Jiancheng nodded, Chen Fubai was indeed the material to go to the Ministry of Industry.
However, there are so many offices in the Ministry of Industry, where should he place him?
Lin Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "Master Chen, there is a vacancy for a supervisor in the Ordnance Supervision - Rank sixth official. Is Master Chen interested?"
(Ordnance: Military Weapons & Supplies)
The Ordnance Supervision is a department under the Ministry of Industry.
This department has a lot of power and is in charge of the military workshops in the capital and nearby areas.
Although this position is a small official position of the sixth rank, it can be considered a top-notch one.
Ordnance Supervision is in charge of the ordnance production in the capital area and handles a lot of money.
This is considered a fat job in the Ministry of Industry.
However, this position is not so easy to keep.
The products of Ordnance Supervision are invented to be sent to the military division.
If the work isn't done efficiently with quality and quantity, those unruly military leaders will make a fuss, and the supervisor of the Ordnance Supervision will be in trouble.
The previous supervisor of the Ordnance Supervision was besieged by military officers because he failed to produce a batch of armor on time and finally lost his position.
This position can be said to be highly profitable and difficult to handle.
Lin Jiancheng said frankly: "There was a problem with the last batch of armor sent by the Ordnance Supervision. The supervisor was severely criticized by those generals, and finally lost his job."
"This seat is not easy to sit in, Mr. Chen. You have to think carefully about it."
Chen Fubai looked at Lin Jiancheng gratefully.
Lin Jiancheng is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he personally explained all the stakes clearly.
It is enough to see from this that Lin Jiancheng cares for him.
Chen Fubai immediately said: "Master Lin! I will accept the position!"
Lin Jiancheng clapped his hands, laughed, and said, "Sure enough. Your Majesty is brilliant! Mr. Chen, if you have any difficulties, you can tell the old man directly!"
"Remember! Your Majesty will always be our backing!"
Chen Fubai nodded heavily.
The next day, Lin Jiancheng personally asked his disciple Lin Fan to escort Chen Fubai to the ordnance supervisor.
The office of the Ordnance Supervision is outside the capital city, where there are five armor workshops and three weapon workshops.
In addition, there is an open-pit iron mine and a coal mine nearby.
Such a valley is the territory of the Ordnance Supervision.
Lin Fan took Chen Fubai and introduced Chen Fubai to the officials of the Ordnance Supervision office.
The Deputy Supervisor of the Ordnance Supervision handed over the seal of the supervisor to Chen Fubai.
Chen Fubai officially took office!
At this time, Li Xian was lying on the queen's bed, while queen Lin Wan'er was correcting the memorial.
Suddenly he received a system prompt:
[Chen Fubai took office as Ordnance Superintendent!]
[Abusing authority for relatives! National Luck: -1000]
[Achievement achieved! "Nepotism in the court!"]
[Achievement reward: "Lingbo Weibu", a unique skill of peerless footwork system! Using it is like taking a walk on the water. It is top-notch light work with both offense and defense! ]
This reward is not bad!
Lingbo Weibu is said to be the most unpredictable light movement skill.
Li Xian learned this lightness skill very quickly.
He drew up his true energy, and the figure immediately disappeared from the spot.
As if leaving many phantoms on the ground, Li Xian quickly moved a few meters away.
Sure enough!
Li Xian accepted the reward with satisfaction.
And at this moment, Xiao Dezi walked in a panic and said:
"Your Majesty! Marquis of Shenwu requested an audience!"
Li Xian also trembled.
Marquis of Shenwu - Yang Tianwu.
He is one of the leaders of the martial artist on the surface in today's world!
The lineage of Marquis Shenwu is of the hero who followed the Founding Emperor to raise troops!
It has been passed down to this day and is still very prosperous!
And Marquis of Shenwu, Yang Tianwu was a general of the previous generation, who once defeated the northern barbarian invasion head-on!
This old Marquis has always been the pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty!
More importantly, Yang Tianwu, Marquis of Shenwu, is one of the four Grandmasters in the world!
Now it is the fifth Grandmaster. However, Li Xian has been promoted to Grandmaster, and no one knows yet.
Yang Tianwu is the military pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty!
The late emperor also respected the old Marquis very much.
After Li Xian succeeded to the throne, he did not dare to neglect this Grandmaster.
Now the Marquis of Shenwu is a Great General and is the leader of the Xungui (military) Group.
No wonder Xiao Dezi was so flustered.
Although he is a first-rank master, he is still not good enough in front of Marquis Shenwu - Yang Tianwu.
Grandmaster and first-rank master!
Although they seem to be one level behind, this is the difference between immortals.
Also, many amazing and talented masters have not been able to break through this level!
"What is the old Marquis doing in the palace?" Li Xian still retained his fear of Marquis Shenwu.
The queen, who was correcting the memorial, said: "The concubine should know why the old Marquis requested the audience."
"Queen! Tell me quickly!"
