Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Thinking that the Taoists had access to top-secret weapons like gunpowder and that they needed a wide space for experiments, Du He instructed Pei Xingjian.

"Vice President Pei, the location of the Tianlei Department remains unchanged. You are responsible for applying for salaries for those Taoist priests."

"I will be personally responsible for the specific task arrangements."

Those Taoist priests are all casual people. They don't want to control others, nor do they want to be controlled by others.

The best arrangement for them is free-range!

If we impose restrictions on them, it will affect their ability to produce good things.

"As ordered!"

Pei Xingjian bowed in response and continued to report.

"Duke Han, in order to provide these craftsmen with a place to live, I have purchased 30 houses in Shengpingfang, Xiuxingfang, and Yongchongfang and will provide them with free accommodation."

"There is also a cafeteria in the Institute of Gewu, where the staff of the Institute of Gewu can eat three meals a day."

"Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are also available."

There was a pause.

Pei Xingjian said softly, "As for the tools and materials needed for the subsequent research of new equipment by each department, I will purchase them based on the actual situation!"

Immediately afterwards, Pei Xingjian gave a complete report of everything he had done during this period.

After listening.

Du He nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.

Not bad!

Pei Xingjian really made him feel at ease when doing things.

However, when the Academy of Gewu was up and running, Pei Xingjian was unable to handle it alone and had to send someone to assist him.

Think about it.

Du He smiled and said, "Shou Yue, recruit a few more assistants and let them share more government affairs with you."

"You can decide the number based on the actual situation. When the time comes, draw up a list of personnel for me and I will write them letters of appointment."

In addition to the 81 Taoist priests, the Gewu Academy has recruited more than 600 people, which is a huge department.

In addition, Pei Xingjian had other important matters to take care of, so he had to find a few more deputies to assist him.

As for Cui Shenji, Wang Jingzhi, Xiao Kai and others, it was good enough that they did not make things worse. It was obviously unrealistic to expect them to share the pressure with Pei Xingjian.

"Thank you, Duke Han." Pei Xingjian responded with a smile on his face.

It's not easy!

Duke Han finally saw his hardships!

After a while.

Xiao Kai rubbed his hands together and asked expectantly, "Duke Han Guo, now that the craftsmen and clerks have arrived, what should we do next?"

"Our Craft Manufacturing Department employs 250 officials, and their annual salary alone is 2500 guan, not including food, clothing, housing, and transportation."

Then Xiao Kai touched the tip of his nose and said with a lack of confidence.

"These craftsmen and clerks keep asking me to arrange things, but I don't have the ability to do that."

"Lord Han Guo, you have to take action..."

The others also looked at Du He anxiously, wanting to assign work to the people below as soon as possible.

In fact, it is not them who are anxious now, but the recruited craftsmen feel that they have nothing to do and feel very uneasy.

After all, if you get a high salary but don't do anything, anyone will have some weird thoughts in their mind.

With such good treatment, if they were fired just because they had nothing to do, wouldn't they cry to death?

"hehe!"

Du He chuckled twice.

He took out five sheets of rice paper from the table and asked Pei Xingjian to distribute them.

"Come and live!"

Cui Shenji, Wang Jingzhi, Xiao Kai and others cried out in surprise after receiving the rice paper, and excitement suddenly appeared on their faces.

After they finished reading the words on the rice paper, they all raised their heads and looked at Du He in astonishment.

They could understand the words individually, but when they were put together, they were a little confused.

Yu Chang looked embarrassed and asked, "Mr. Han Guo, what are these rubber tires, springs, and spinning wheels?"

It’s difficult!

He had never heard of any of the tools needed.

He has nothing in his eyes now, how can he lead his equally empty-eyed craftsmen to make it?

Xiao Kai also said helplessly: "Mr. Han Guo, salt purification, dragon bone drum wheel, papermaking and red brick firing, it sounds mysterious, can we do it?"

A few breaths have passed.

Wang Jingzhi also held his forehead and said, "Mr. Han, cultivating high-yield rice, grafting technology, and postpartum care for sows, these all sound very profound and obscure."

Although Cui Shenji and Li Chunfeng didn't say anything, their confused expressions said it all.

Hey!

It’s really hard to do the job in the Gewuyuan.

They wanted to hang out with Du He, but they didn't have Du He's level of thinking, so they felt really uncomfortable doing this job.

Du He smiled and said, "The topic I've given you has a general research idea and direction. Go back and discuss it with your craftsmen and clerks to arrange the research topics."

"In three days, I will introduce each topic to you one by one."

He only had a general idea of these things, and he had no idea how to make them specifically.

Next, it depends on the wisdom of these craftsmen, and through continuous thinking and experimentation, realize these things bit by bit.

Everyone looked at each other, and then bowed to Du He together.

"As ordered!"

Then Du He gave them some more instructions, then stood up and spoke excitedly.

"Everyone, the Institute of Gewu will officially begin operations today. I believe that it won't be long before our Institute of Gewu becomes famous throughout the world!"

"Are you ready to go down in history?"

A name that will leave a lasting legacy?

Hearing these four words, everyone's eyes became hot and even their breathing became rapid.

Isn’t this the ultimate goal of life?

Everyone shouted excitedly.

"I wish to follow in the footsteps of Duke Han and leave my name in history!"

After they shouted for a while and saw that their spirits became excited, Du He waved his hand and asked them to go down and get busy.

A moment of silence.

Du He stood up and said to Pei Xingjian, "Keep your promise, take me to the Institute of Gewu for a look."

"promise!"

Pei Xingjian quickly stood up and responded.

Under the leadership of Pei Xingjian, Du He started from the Mechanical Manufacturing Department and moved all the way to the Medical Research Department.

Pei Xingjian would occasionally point at the female clerks and introduce them to Du He.

"That tall beauty wearing a round-necked green skirt is Choi Suk, Choi Shenji's cousin."

"The round-faced woman in the multicolored fur coat is named Wang Zhuyan, and she is Wang Jingzhi's cousin."

"And that..."

Hearing Cui Shenji's introduction, Du He's mouth twitched slightly.

These bastards really did what they said and brought all the eldest daughters of the family over. The courtyard where they stayed was filled with the scent of rouge.

When these women saw Du He, they gathered together and pointed at him.

After turning around.

Du He instructed Pei Xingjian, "Keep your promise. Write some slogans, frame them, and install them in the office area of Department 5."

slogan?

What is this again?

Is this the philosophy that the saints and sages once said?

Pei Xingjian looked embarrassed and said, "Duke Hanguo, could you give me some hints and suggest some slogans?"

He finally understood why Cui Shenji, Xiao Kai and others looked embarrassed. He found that at this moment, he could not immediately understand what Du He meant.

Reminisce for a moment.

Du He said softly, "The purpose of the slogan is to inspire craftsmen to research hard and enhance their initiative."

"It is like establishing a mind for heaven and earth, and a destiny for the people."

“Hypothesize boldly, verify carefully, allow for failure, and refuse to be reckless.”

"It's superficial on paper, and I absolutely know that this matter has to be done."

"The edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossom comes from the bitter cold."

"..."

When Pei Xingjian heard the first slogan, his mind was in turmoil, so much so that he didn't hear clearly the slogans that Du He said afterwards.

a long time.

Pei Xingjian's lips trembled as he said, "Duke Han, Heaven and Earth establish their minds, and the people establish their lives. Are there two more sentences after this?"
