After years of training, Hong Yuan is no longer the boy he used to be. Although he is still less than thirty years old, he has already gained considerable prestige in both the military camp and the officialdom.

Li Neng handed over the Dongmu Navy and the prefectures where the Dongmu Navy is located. Hong Yuan did a very good job in all matters in the prefectures and counties or the Dongmu Navy camp.

Moreover, Li Neng has never proposed the idea of ​​returning to Chang'an City to work for so many years, and Hong Yuan is doing it very well and has no intention of getting tired of it.

Obviously, Li Qing was honing Hong Yuan's nature, and Hong Yuan knew this very well. He knew that his current position was far more important than the Shangshu of the Sixth Ministry. If Li Qing really asked him to return to Chang'an City to serve before this war, he might not be able to agree.

After these five young people arrived, Hong Yuan and Muto Ichiro finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, they had already raised this question with Li Qing. There was no shortage of mature craftsmen here in recent years, but they lacked talents like Muto Ichiro who could participate in design.

Now, Ichiro Muto's assistants are almost all scholars who Hong Yuan has spent a lot of effort to find from various counties in Henan Province.

But their age is generally no longer. The youngest is in their forties. They are all people who never hope to pass the Jinshi in their lifetime, so their level is naturally conceivable.

Now Li Yi finally made the change they wanted most about this matter, and Li Yi also told Hong Yuan in the letter that these five people must have Muto Ichiro's successor. Five years later, Muto Ichiro will basically be transferred back to Chang'an City to serve in the Ministry of Works.

Hong Yuan knew that this was part of Li Yi's reform of the six ministries, not just about the development of the navy. After all, Muto Ichiro would be almost fifty years old by then. If he wanted to make him work as hard as he is now in the navy camp, whether it was physical or mental.

Although he did not tell Muto Ichiro that he was about to be dispatched to the Ministry of Works, Hong Yuan had already told Muto Ichiro that the Tang Dynasty's naval army's stalls were getting bigger and bigger, and Li Yi also needed more and more to upgrade and research different warships. If he did not cultivate more young talents, it would definitely not be possible to rely on these few people alone.

Muto Ichiro fully recognized such words. Now he has completely regarded himself as a craftsman of the Tang Dynasty, not a Japanese. The state affairs of the Tang Dynasty are completely the most important in his heart.

So when these five young people arrived at Muto Ichiro, Muto Ichiro gave them a harsh lecture, and then gave them three days to settle their families. Three days later, they officially became members of the Dongmu Navy Army.

In the past three days, they saw how high the Tang Dynasty's naval army was. Although it was very tiring to build ships and train troops on weekdays, as long as you were here, your family was not far from you. The soldiers could reunite with their families every few days, and their craftsmen could reunite with their families at any time as long as they had time. Although they had a lot of fantasies about this matter before, the situation after they really got here was beyond their expectations.

Su Hu's parents had been taken here. They thought that Su Hu had passed the Jinshi, otherwise how could he be treated like this?

But when Su Hu told them why they were here, they were not disappointed. They thought it was much better than being an official. If they were an official, they would not know what prefecture and county they would be assigned to after passing the exam. They might be farther away from home, and the salary of the ninth-rank official may not be able to support a whole family.

But this kind of joy basically lasted for three days, because when I met Muto Ichiro on the fourth day, Muto Ichiro almost said a few words, but threw it to them a lot of books and materials, and threw it out one sentence after three months to completely understand the things on these materials. If you don’t understand, you can ask him or the old craftsman here at any time, but after three months he will conduct an assessment of the five of them. Once the assessment is not done, there is no need to continue here at all.

Of course, the five people knew that Muto Ichiro had the right to do this to them. Not to mention that if they did not pass the hard-earned treatment, they might lose it. What they lost was Li's face, but Xu Yuan's face who chose them.

If this matter fails, they will have no shame to take any exams in the future.

Even though these books look very scary, none of the five people asked any questions and agreed to it.

They are all people who have reviewed the provincial exam day and night, and they will never retreat in the face of these difficulties without knowing what circumstances. This is also their integrity as scholars.

"Sir, you gave them all the information on these warships. I thought they would not be able to make any achievements without half a year. Once they do not understand it three months later, how should sir end it?"

On this night, the five people had already returned to their mansion to study with their materials. Hong Yuan said to Muto Ichiro with some concern.

Muto Ichiro smiled slightly, and then his face became solemn.

"The prefect thought, why can't a craftsman like me appear in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Because the people of the Tang Dynasty put their studies first and their officials first, Your Majesty is changing this situation. I believe that in a few years, there will be craftsmen like Mr. in the Tang Dynasty."

"No, what you said is right, but it is not right. When I was in Japan, the reason why I was able to become a craftsman like today was entirely due to the situation, for myself, and of course for the original Japan, because Japan was too weak. Now the Tang Dynasty, especially the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, do not have such a sense of urgency. The prefect said that in half a year, it was an ordinary scholar. What I give to these young people now is the sense of urgency that they do not have."
