Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Of course, this is coquettishness between men, and it is also coquettishness between monarchs and ministers. The various tastes in it can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

"Come here, go and call Ma Long and ask him to come and pay homage to His Majesty."

Seeing Ning Fan's behavior at this time, Shi Qian naturally understood that the time was ripe in his heart. If he didn't call people out at this time, he would offend Ning Fan.

Soon, a short man walked out of the inner hall.

Ning Fan was slightly surprised when he saw the man's appearance, because the man looked tall and thick, and he didn't look like a skilled craftsman at all.

However, after seeing the other party's generous demeanor, Ning Fan also believed it, because craftsmen like this only have their own skills in their hearts and have no desire for power at all.

"Ma Long, a common man, comes to see Your Majesty."

Ma Long was short in stature, less than 1.5 meters tall, but he looked honest and shrewd.

Although Ma Long was short in stature, he had a slender index finger. Ning Fan took a closer look and found that Ma Long was a very skillful craftsman. He called Ma Long over and carefully inquired about the principles of the new musket and some of its structures.

And Ma Long's explanation also made Ning Fan admire Ma Long.

"Ma Long, who is your master? Did you come up with all these things yourself?"

Ning Fan was really shocked, because with the science and technology of this era, it was simply unbelievable that Ma Long could get things to this point.

"Your Majesty, the teacher of Cao Min is the current Emperor."

Ma Long's words were not shocking, and Shi Qian beside him was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.

Even Ning Fan was surprised. He couldn't remember when he had accepted a disciple like Ma Long?

"Your Majesty, Cao Min is actually a student of Nishiyama Academy in Kyoto. The mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks compiled by His Majesty have benefited Cao Min a lot. Cao Min's skills were also learned from the books compiled by His Majesty."

When Ma Long saw Ning Fan's surprised expression, he immediately told his true meaning.

Hearing what Ma Long said, Ning Fan showed a smile and an expression of relief. He finally knew what Ma Long meant.

"It has been less than a year since Kyoto Nishiyama Academy was founded? It took you just a few months to completely master the knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry."

Ning Fan was really surprised.

After asking a few questions casually, Ma Long answered them fluently. Not only did he understand some of the knowledge points thoroughly, but he also knew many things by heart.

"Ma Long, how many people like you are there in our Kyoto Academy?"

Ning Fan was surprised and happy, but he never expected that the flowers would not blossom. Unintentionally, I founded the Intensive Study College in Liuliu Chengyin, but I didn’t expect that it would reach such a scale and status now.

"Your Majesty, there are at least a hundred students like Chen in Kyoto College."

Malone said very modestly.

Ning Fan clapped and laughed, the joy on his face was beyond words.

Not only did he immediately reward Ma Long, but he also gave Ma Long an official status. He was suddenly promoted from a small craftsman to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Even Shi Qian on the side was surprised.

"Shi Qian, you have made great contributions to me this time. Tell me, how do you want me to reward you?"

Ning Fan naturally understood that the purpose of creating these things beforehand was actually to cater to himself.

However, it should be said that Shi Qian's results were indeed amazing, and Ning Fan was very happy.

"Your Majesty, now, the Ministry of War has ceased to exist in name only. I feel like I am still wasting time in the Ministry of War. If the Imperial Guards have any errands..."

Shi Qian had almost reached this point after seeing the goods. He was a little shy no matter how modest he was, so he quickly expressed his true thoughts directly.

In fact, like Ming Jing, he knew very well in his heart that if he didn't tell this matter, there would be no chance in the future. After passing this village, there would be no such shop. Taking advantage of Ning Fan's happiness, he quickly expressed his thoughts, maybe Ning Fan Fan immediately agreed as soon as he was happy.

If you want to say which department in the imperial court has the most power and the most powerful right now, it is naturally the Jinyiwei.

According to the rank of court officials, Shi Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, can be regarded as a first-rank official. Originally, he was a very important figure in the court, but now because Ning Fan has hired the Jin Yiwei, the power of the Ministry of War has been completely emptied. Now Shi Qian's power is not even as good as that of a thousand households in Jinyiwei.

However, after Ning Fan heard what he said beforehand, he had other concerns in his mind. Shi Qian was capable, but his experience was too complicated.

If such a person were placed in Jin Yiwei, it would be a little unsuitable for Ning Fan.

However, Ning Fan had an idea and thought of a better place for Shi Qian.

"If you can't use your abilities in Jinyiwei, I will send you to govern outside. The vast world outside is where you can show your abilities."

Ning Fan smiled mysteriously and did not announce on the spot where he wanted Shi Qian to go, but Ning Fan's words made Shi Qian excited.

He knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed to Ning Fan, his expression so excited that he almost burst into tears.

This is not because Shi Qian is being pretentious, it is indeed because he has an ambition that cannot be put to use. Now that Ning Fan suddenly wants him to take charge of the government, Shi Qian immediately feels that his talents have a place to be put to use.

"Tomorrow morning, I will announce new personnel arrangements for the six provinces south of the Yangtze River."

Ning Fan stood up and walked outside. Shi Qian wanted to follow Ning Fan, but Ning Fan refused: "Okay, I am very happy to come to the Ministry of War as a guest today, so you don't have to send me away anymore. Your work The transfer will come soon, and you have to make arrangements for the Ministry of War before leaving."

In fact, in Ning Fan's opinion, the so-called Ministry of War has ceased to exist in name only. There is not much value in such a large yamen supporting so many people. On the contrary, it took time to create this weapons bureau, which is a bright spot for Ning Fan.

The things that Shen Mengxi and his gang were doing in Jiangzhou were too complicated and they were studying everything but not being good at anything. Ning Fan immediately realized that the weapons bureau that Ning Fan had established over time, he thought it would be better to set up a place that specializes in weapons research and put Jiangzhou Some of the talents were transferred back and used exclusively for the research of weapons.

After coming out of the Ministry of War, Ning Fan did not return to the palace immediately, but went to the headquarters of the Fuxing Society.

The Fuxing Society was a youth society founded by Ning Fan himself. It was a unique political group in the Kang Dynasty. In fact, Ning Fan's original purpose of establishing the Fuxing Society was very simple, which was to select talents for the imperial court.

The Fuxing Society is personally controlled by Ning Fan, who personally selects and has close contact with these young talents.
