Chapter 173 This... I can only say that the father and his two sons have their own ideas...
The prince thought gloomily: The little official seems to have never noticed him, the prince. Is he not as good as the silly royal brother next to him? ! Does he have to be like the silly royal brother to attract the attention of the little official?
The prince frowned and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Emperor Jin Yuan became more and more satisfied with the prince. He stroked his beard, smiled, and praised the prince in his heart: As expected, the prince is still pleasing to the eye. Looking at his serious and calm look, he must be thinking about how to produce and promote this waterwheel in the future!
This... I can only say that the father and his two sons each have their own ideas...
Emperor Jin Yuan collected his thoughts and asked, "Zhou Da, what is that thing in your hand?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, after my uncle left the Ministry of Works and entered the palace, I thought that although the functions written in the manual of this farm tool are very good, they still need to be tested in practice to verify their true effectiveness."
"So, I kindly requested the adults in the Ministry of Works to move the large farm tool to the ground, and after my uncle returns to the Ministry of Works, we will discuss where to send it for testing."
"And the thing in my hand is what was exposed from the soil at the bottom after the farm tool was moved away."
As he spoke, Zhou Da raised the fist-sized crystal in his hand that was shining with a faint light and was very regular over his head so that everyone in the hall could see it clearly.
Then, Zhou Da continued, "Later, we found that the soil under the collapsed area was full of these crystals! I remembered the thing called 'kinetic crystal' mentioned in the manual, so I boldly guessed that the kinetic crystal was in my hand."
"But my uncle doesn't know this news. If your majesty asks about this, my uncle may not be able to answer, and he may even be blamed. I am also thinking about informing your majesty of this important news as soon as possible, and at the same time, I am also thinking about helping my uncle out."
"And I know very well that this farm tool is of great significance. If it can be promoted and used earlier, the people of the Southern Dynasty will sooner enjoy the great convenience brought by the farm tools!"
Zhou Da expressed his thoughts respectfully.
After listening to this, Minister Zhou nodded with satisfaction, feeling a little relieved and proud. Although his nephew was stupid, he was actually doing practical things!
Emperor Jin Yuan was also very satisfied. Although he had known for a long time that Zhou Da brought kinetic crystals, he was surprised that Zhou Da had such an idea! It is a blessing
for the Southern Dynasty to have such people who care about the people!
"Very good! Zhou Ti Shou, you have a good nephew! He cares about you so much!"
When Emperor Jin Yuan learned that the kinetic crystal was in the Ministry of Works and he didn't have to collect it everywhere, the stone in his heart finally fell, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Minister Zhou shook off his guilty look, smiled proudly and replied: "Your Majesty, you are kind!"
At this time, Qin Yue was puzzled: [Sister, why does Zhou Da call himself a commoner? Isn't he an official? Shouldn't it be more appropriate to call him a humble official or a humble minister? ]
[Zhou Da has made an indispensable contribution this time! If he hadn't proposed to move the waterwheel, how long would I have to wait before I could use the high-end waterwheel I bought! ]
When Zhou Da heard this, he instantly understood the origin of this farm tool, and his admiration for Xiao Fuguan became stronger.
Although it was the first time he met Xiao Fuguan, he was already familiar with all the rumors about Xiao Fuguan!
Especially the incident with He Lanzhen, Prince An, and General Pingxi, it can be said that it removed a huge cancer for the Southern Dynasty!
Since then, Zhou Da has admired this little official whom he has never met.
It is amazing that such a young child can make great contributions to the court!
Zhou Da secretly made up his mind to take the little official as an example, work harder, and create more practical tools for the people!
What he didn't expect was that the farm tool that shocked him yesterday was also made by the little official, which made him even more satisfied and convinced!
The system explained: [Host, this Zhou Da is not an official, he is just a craftsman in the Ministry of Industry. ]
[However, although he has no official position, he has made great achievements in the craftsmanship of the manufacturing industry! He devotes himself to research and works hard all day long. He can be said to be the real behind-the-scenes promoter of many new tools in the Ministry of Industry! ]
[Since he has no official position, his monthly salary is the same as that of ordinary craftsmen! But he doesn't seem to care! Because he has the care of his uncle Zhou Shangshu, although his monthly salary is small, he lives a good life! ]
Qin Yue disagreed: [This won't do! If a dynasty wants to flourish, it not only needs talents who are good at management, but also this group of technical talents who master superb skills! ]
[As the saying goes, if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. The core of the so-called "tool" here lies in these technical talents! 】
【And how can you get less if you work hard and do well! Such research talents are rare, and if the monthly salary is low, it is estimated that not many people are willing to settle down and engage in technology! 】
【The court cannot let these unknown heroes who silently contribute suffer injustice! Besides, these people may not be good at politics and officialdom, but we can open up another way for them to advance, such as taking the professional and technical system. 】
【For example, set up first-level technical talents, second-level technical talents and other ranks, and assess the ranks according to each person's skill level and contribution. At the same time, the monthly salary between each level should also be differentiated and correspond to the salaries of civil and military officials. 】
【In this way, we can stimulate their enthusiasm for work and ensure fairness and justice. 】
【Only in this way can talents who are good at machinery production and even tending fields emerge like bamboo shoots after rain, and promote the continuous progress of technology! 】
【Although many people may not have read books, they have amazing talents in certain aspects! If such technical talents are not used properly, wouldn’t it be a waste of natural resources! 】
System: 【The host is absolutely right! 】
【Looking at the long river of history, technology has always been the core force to promote social change and leapfrog development, especially a major technological innovation with epoch-making significance. 】
【Technical talents should be given due respect and attention! 】
Qin Yue and the system's discussion caused the hall to fall into silence.
Everyone was dumbfounded, their eyes all fell on Qin Yue, their faces full of astonishment.
The most shocked among them was Zhou Da, his astonishment was simply beyond words!
Before this, no one had ever suggested that craftsmen like them should be treated the same as court officials!
No one mentioned that their hard work should be seen by the world! !
After being stunned, many court officials quickly came to their senses and immediately understood the great significance behind the words of Xiao Fuguan and Lao Mei'er!
The same was true for Emperor Jin Yuan. He quickly realized the problem and began to think about it in his heart.
However, this is not the time to think deeply. This matter must be handled with caution. Not only must every link be carefully considered, but all details must be considered comprehensively!
The second prince who did not understand embarrassment finally understood this time. Attach
importance to technical talents? ! He is also a technical talent in some aspects! !
Has his spring finally arrived? !
Hehe!
