Zhao Wenyi was deeply moved.

They do not form factions, but they can unite all forces that can be united to serve the interests of the court.

"Another difference is that forming factions can lead to division and conflict within an organization, while the unity we pursue is cooperation and mutual assistance between different forces, and will not split the entire organization."

Zhao Wenyi understood again.

Forming factions will inevitably lead to division and antagonism in the court, which will do nothing but harm the court.

Therefore, all dynasties strictly prohibited the formation of factions to avoid factional strife.

Frequent transfers of officials are intended to prevent the formation of factions.

Officials were not allowed to remain in the capital after retiring, also to avoid forming cliques.

The ultimate goal of avoiding factionalism is to safeguard imperial power.

"Auntie, could you teach me how to choose allies? Who are the people I can ally with?"

He Youyou looked at him in surprise: "Oh, you actually have plans to go into politics?"

Zhao Wenyi smiled and said, "That's exactly why I want to pursue a career in government."

He Youyou sighed, "Then I probably can't help much, as I have no experience in politics. However, theoretically speaking, there are two methods of guidance that can be used."

Which two?

"First, anyone with whom you have no conflict of interest can become your ally. Find common ground and make good use of it. Second, exploit the internal contradictions of your enemies to turn some of them into allies. Remember, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Zhao Wenyi seemed to be deep in thought.

"The rest is up to you to learn through practice. I don't have experience in this area, so I can't teach you much."

"I have benefited greatly from your words, Aunt. Thank you for your guidance!"

Zhao Wenyi spent a day at the He family's house and returned home with a heavy heart.

The next day, Zhao Wenqi came out of the palace.

He Youyou knew that this child was someone who couldn't stay still, so she took him out with her.

She had been planning to visit the King of Qi's ironworks today anyway.

After a series of inventory and personnel adjustments, in order to turn a profit as soon as possible, Manager Xin led his team of managers to readjust the production plan.

In the past, the King of Qi would do whatever was most profitable.

Now, they make whatever sells well.

The project incubation team has not made much progress in a short period of time.

It's unrealistic to expect results from research and development projects in the short term.

To He Youyou's surprise, Zhao Wenqi and the crazy man who put wheels on the test basket got along extremely well.

The two mingled together and became close friends despite their age difference.

Zhao Wenqi, a young boy, greatly admires the idea of ​​the three madmen putting wheels on the box.

They even suggested, "Could we put two wheels on my shoes?"

It makes him feel like he's riding on wheels of fire when he walks.

The three madmen scratched their heads, thought for a moment, and nodded: This is not difficult.

It's really not difficult.

He relied on his carpentry skills and finished it in one day.

A small wooden wheel was attached to each of the two wooden shoe soles.

It looks like a pair of wooden clogs with wheels.

Zhao Wenqi happily slipped on the shoes and showed them off everywhere.

He Youyou stared at the scene in shock: Good heavens, they've even come up with Heelys.

When Zhao Wenqi joined this incubation group, it was like a little fish falling into the ocean.

I feel very happy.

I like everything I see.

"Wow, so many new and exciting things!"

Of course! This group is all about coming up with new and exciting things.

Manager Xin reported to He Youyou: "The Ministry of Revenue has issued a notice to reward improvements to agricultural tools. Anyone who improves agricultural tools in the private sector will be rewarded. I have already instructed the incubation team to begin their research."

“Alright,” He Youyou said. “If there are any truly remarkable people among the common people, we can try to recruit them.”

In research and development, talent is the core resource.

The two of them spent the day in the workshop.

From then on, Zhao Wenqi didn't bother He's much whenever he came to the He family.

He just kept saying he wanted to go to the workshop to play.

He Youyou let him have his way, but instructed Qin Ming to keep an eye on the child and make sure he didn't get into any danger.

Provided that safety is ensured, there is no need to restrict his behavior.

He can play whatever he wants.

During this time, people in the palace noticed that the Second Prince seemed much quieter.

Even the emperor rarely heard of anyone filing a complaint.

"Your brother's been unusually quiet lately. Could he be secretly plotting something big?"

Zhao Wenyi shook his head and smiled, "Father, don't worry, my second brother won't cause any trouble."

It won't cause any trouble, it's just...

Perhaps spending too much time with my aunt will lead to some strange behavior.

A few days later, their guess came true.

The Second Prince, Zhao Wenqi, arrived at the workshop with a piece of paper in his hand.

It's a blueprint.

The three madmen, who were close friends despite their age difference, examined the blueprint from top to bottom.

He scratched his head as he watched.

His already messy hair became even more unsightly after he scratched it.

"Wenqi, what did you draw?"

Zhao Wenqi stood on the chair, side by side with him, and looked at the blueprints together.

Pointing to the picture above, the little finger said, "Brother Crazy, this is a farm tool I designed. Can you help me make it?"

The three madmen craned their necks to examine it closely: "I can do all of that, but can you tell me what you've drawn? Why are there tree branches in it?"

Zhao Wenqi said helplessly, "Crazy Brother, are you blind? This isn't a tree branch, it's a rake I drew."

"Oh." The Third Madman suddenly realized, "Then what about this? A brick?"

"This isn't a brick, it's a shovel I drew. Look, Crazy Bro, the farm tool I designed has two ends, one is a rake, and the other is a shovel. One tool, two functions, aren't I amazing?"

"Your idea is good, but your drawing skills... well, let's just say they're not great."

As he spoke, the three madmen took out his blueprints to show him.

He slapped the blueprint twice with his large hand: "Look, now this is what blueprints should look like."

Although Sanfengzi is an unremarkable and unkempt man, he is meticulous and extremely neat and beautiful when it comes to drawing blueprints.

Zhao Wenqi felt a pang of shame upon seeing the picture.

But the child had a good attitude and immediately made up for it: "Brother Crazy, I'm still young and haven't learned to draw yet, so of course I can't draw such a good picture. When I grow up, I'll be able to draw like you."

Sanfengzi was quite magnanimous: "That's true, you're still young. Okay, I'll redraw this picture for you and make it for you, then we can see how it looks."

After saying that, he gestured to show Zhao Wenqi's height.

"Wenqi, you're planning to use this yourself?"

Zhao Wenqi nodded: "Yes."

"Then the size has to be reduced, at least by half."

"Crazy Bro, you decide on the size."

A few days later, Zhao Wenqi swaggered out of the workshop carrying a rake.

When He Youyou saw this, she almost collapsed from laughing.

It looks so much like...that guy.
