The atmosphere in the court became more and more hot.

Emperor Jing calmed down and exclaimed: "Okay! Since that's the case, the responsibility for building a ship will be handed over to Yudingcheng to supervise the ship, and immediately send someone to send an order to Yudingcheng."

"In addition, I have observed the benefits of firearms the day before yesterday and decided to set up another battalion in Beijing to practice firearms, called Shenji Camp."

"Feng Jie, please send someone to do this and draw up a set of regulations for me first."

Feng Jie hurriedly said yes.

Fang Zhengyi suddenly felt relieved.

The major event has been decided and the follow-up will go smoothly.

I'll send a letter to Yu Dingcheng and make arrangements in detail.

Yuding City can basically be regarded as its second base camp. It is all his own people and is under his control.

Now that the troops and food are sufficient, and then going to sea, as long as the court's vision is opened, so many smart people will naturally know what to do.

I don’t have to suffer anymore and deceive me.

At this moment, Emperor Jing suddenly said, "Fang Qing, I was rescued by penicillin. This medicine is very effective, but when I asked the doctor in Taoyuan County, he said he didn't know the cost. I want to introduce this medicine as a military supply, is it feasible?"

Penicillin? I visited various research institutes in the county yesterday and I really paid special attention to it.

Fang Zheng paused and said, "Your Majesty, penicillin has a wide range of efficacy and is indeed feasible."

"However, the drug is not easy to make, especially the preservation is difficult. A war may lose its efficacy before it can be used, and it may be difficult to equip the army in the short term."

"But there is no solution. I have ordered people to open a clinic in the capital to use penicillin to cure diseases and save people. In this process, the process can be improved, and perhaps it may be possible to equip the entire army in the future."

Emperor Jing seemed to say with some regret: "Well, everything cannot be perfect, maybe it is because I am too eager to achieve success."

"If the Ministry of Revenue needs to allocate silver for penicillin, you should speak out."

The Ministry of Revenue allocates silver?

As soon as Emperor Jing said this, Fang Zhengyi's expression suddenly appeared.

Yes, just throw this matter to the royal family or the court.

I am used to taking on some things, so why bother to take on some things by myself?

Now is the best time!

"Thank you, Your Majesty! But I suddenly thought of a suggestion."

"Talk." Emperor Jing said.

"There are many research institutes in Taoyuan County, which are specialized in the development of drugs, instruments, etc. The firearm institute and penicillin are all from the research institutes, and each of these can change the pattern of my grand scene."

"But Taoyuan County is a small county after all, and everything is not effective. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to build the Royal Academy of Sciences and its affiliated colleges to recruit talents from all over the world and attract them for your own use. First, it can contribute to the court and deal with future changes. Second, if you make a brilliant move, it can also benefit the people of the world."

"The initial construction and operation of the Royal Academy of Sciences and affiliated colleges is willing to work hard to share your worries!"

science?

Someone has heard of two voices from Fang Zhengyi, but many people are confused. What is science?

"Mr. Fang, what does science mean?" someone asked.

"Science? Science is a methodology, which establishes objective facts and is verifiable based on... Of course, what I said may not be correct. This is just the statement from Taoyuan County. To put it simply, the antonym of science is superstition." Fang Zheng said.

"Mr. Fang, I understand what you said so mysteriously. The one who is going to recruit craftsmen in the Academy of Sciences is still the one who wants to recruit. The four subordinate departments under my Ministry of Works are completely competent, and it's just a waste of time!"

The speaker looked a little resentful. It was really too much for you, a commander of the Jinyiwei, to come to grab the work of the Ministry of Works!

Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment.

Whoever comes up with a gun and a stick? I still hope that I will give you face when opening the sea?!

He looked at the person who was talking, and saw that it was Zeng Ping, the Minister of Works, and bowed and said, "Sir Zeng, the Academy of Sciences is different from the Ministry of Works."

"What the Ministry of Works requires is only a skilled craftsman, while the Academy of Sciences wants to build research talents and creative work."

"There is no need to do a step-by-step job! Besides... the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works have been passed down from generation to generation, and have been abandoned from generation to generation, so I'm afraid the craftsmanship is just that!"

Zeng Ping did not expect that Fang Zheng would argue as soon as he came up. He looked at Emperor Jing and looked at the Minister of Works, blushed and said, "Mr. Fang's words are very wrong! The craftsmen of the Works Department are all the best craftsmen in the world. Besides, they are not all passed down from generation to generation. If there are outstanding skilled craftsmen among the people, the craftsmen will be recruiting them all the time."

"Why didn't you see you get penicillin, gunpowder, and musket?" Fang Zheng asked in reverse.

"Ah I... this is just a coincidence! The Ministry of Works did not have Taoist priests to refine alchemy, nor did they get the King of Wu's pocket watch. If they discovered it in advance, they would definitely be able to study it." Zeng Ping forcibly defended.

"What about penicillin?"

Zeng Ping's face turned red and he squeezed out with a groan: "That's the matter of the Imperial Hospital."

Emperor Jing laughed secretly when he looked at it, but he felt an indescribable feeling.

Fang Zhengyi was honest a while ago and was always polite to anyone he talked to.

Now, the matter of opening the sea will definitely be defeated and will be immediately brought back to its original state.

I guess I'll stop afterwards...

"Okay, Fang Qing, there is no need to say much. It is impossible to build the Royal Academy of Sciences. At this time, the national treasury is abundant, so you can try it first." Emperor Jing said.ωωw.

Xu Wenshu, the new Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Lord Zeng said is reasonable. I also understand what Lord Fang said just now. It is nothing more than four words, and the study of things leads to knowledge."

"But the craftsmen don't even know a big word. If we talk about studying things and learning, it would be a bit difficult..."

At this point, Xu Wenshu stopped talking.

It’s not that I don’t want to deal with Fang Zhengyi, I feel really uncomfortable.

Not long after taking office, the treasury became abundant.

Unexpectedly, I had an Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei's food supply was so big that it was so scary that it cost five people an ordinary meal. I didn't want to give so much, but I couldn't resist Fang Zhengyi's face and hard work, but finally I finally approved the money.

The Jinyiwei asked for money, so he endured it! Without Fang Zhengyi, it wouldn't be his turn to take over! What about opening the sea? Five million taels were booked out, and I don't know how much money it would cost to rebuild the Shenji Camp.

But we have to add the Royal Academy of Sciences and affiliated colleges, and there will be no more heads after that.

When the performance comes out, the money in the Ministry of Revenue will be empty again. How can the emperor and the court think of themselves?

An incompetent person! He can only spend money hard, but not save money and make money?

Fang Zheng said loudly with a slump in his face: "Sir Xu, you are just sluggish!"

"What does it mean that a craftsman doesn't know a big word? Does anyone have a child who can write? How long does it take to learn a word? See what you can do."

"Surveying things and learning is not the patent of scholars! Why haven't so many scholars seen anyone who has developed a gunpowder firearm or penicillin? Come on, let's talk about what's going on? Is it because I haven't read the book or the book? Where are the standards?"

Seeing that Fang Zhengyi's energy suddenly came up, everyone exclaimed that they had a headache.

"Master Fang is careful! Are you messing around? No such thing!"

"It's started, he's started again!"

"Mr. Fang, studying things to gain knowledge is not the patent of scholars, but craftsmen's affairs are not what scholars should do? A gentleman is not a weapon, so how can he devote himself to those trivial matters like a craftsman?"

Fang Zheng blew his beard and glared: "What! Penicillin lives countless people, and the gunpowder will definitely be a success on the battlefield in the future, and countless soldiers will benefit from it."

"You actually said this is a trivial matter? It seems that you can do it with all your efforts. If anyone is not convinced, we will pull it out!"
