"Okay, get up and don't pretend to be dead. These dozen or so blows won't hurt you at all."
Emperor Long Qing showed no sign of mercy and instead glanced at Zhu Hui lying on the ground with disgust.
Zhu Hui: "Father, you struck so hard, how could it not hurt (＞﹏＜)"
Emperor Longqing: "Before you say this, take out the pad on your butt and then talk to me."
As soon as he started using it, Emperor Longqing felt something was wrong in his hand after the first stroke of the stick.
Zhu Hui chuckled sheepishly and got up from the ground.
Emperor Longqing: "Xue Aiqing, Chen Aiqing, you two should come with me. Zitong, please go back and rest first."
Queen Yin: "I will retire first, Your Majesty."
Zhu Hui: "Farewell to my mother."
Xue Hong, Chen Chen: "I respectfully send you to the Queen."
The three of them then followed Emperor Longqing to the imperial study, where Emperor Longqing ordered someone to sit down.
After the three of them took their seats, Emperor Longqing began to ask about fertilizers and his views on Western countries.
Emperor Longqing: "Xue Aiqing, after returning from this trip to the west, the thing called...steam engine that I brought back is really that useful?"
Xue Hong stood up and reported back: "Your Majesty, this thing is propelled by burning, under the guise of the power of water and fire. With this thing, cars can travel without horses, and ships can also sail without people. This thing will definitely be of great help to me." Bring huge benefits.”
Emperor Longqing: "I can't believe that there are such strange people in the West who can create such things."
In fact, China has had an incredible amount of black technology since ancient times, but for some reason, the relevant technologies were inexplicably lost in the end.
For example, the famous thinker Mozi invented many black technologies and discovered many laws of Neo-Confucianism throughout his life.
For example, the principle of small hole imaging, Mozi proposed this phenomenon more than a hundred years earlier than Aristotle!
Zhang Heng's seismometer has been around for thousands of years. After being placed in a museum, it can still accurately predict the specific direction of earthquakes! There is basically no error!
What's even more awesome is that after a group of scientific leaders copied the seismometer according to the original model, the replica was completely useless!
This shows that we still don’t understand the principle of Zhang Heng’s seismograph. The core idea may not be a modern known principle, and we had no choice but to give up in the end.
Another example is petroleum, which the ancients called fat water. Shen Mengxi, the author of Mengxi Bitan, conducted research on petroleum and said that this substance will definitely become popular in the world in the future!
As well as the Chinese heavenly stems and earthly branches, the twenty-four solar terms allow people to predict weather changes in advance with near accuracy, which was unimaginable in the West hundreds of years ago. The twenty-four solar terms have been spread in China for more than 6,000 years. !
Before there were any written records, sages had already summarized the twenty-four solar terms.
Some people say that the current "twenty-four solar terms" were invented by the Chinese in addition to the name, and the core is already Western astronomical knowledge. But in fact, Tang Ruowang and others in the late Ming Dynasty only revised it based on Western astronomical knowledge and then spread it back to the West.
This group of people, if there are some good things in China, just say they are from the West. I really want xxxxxxxxxx, I xxxxxxxxxx! I’ll sleep with you xzzzzz parents
There is also the Bagua created by Fuxi, the founder of humanities, which uses eight hexagrams to describe the world. Even modern supercomputers cannot completely simulate the changes in the hexagrams, and it was finally recognized by the mathematical community as infinite!
China has always been ahead of the world in philosophy, science, and even literature. Unfortunately, feudalism led to success and feudalism failed.
Feudalism enabled China to break away from the system of feudal slavery and enter a path of rapid development. Unfortunately, the stability of this system was so high that in the end it was too late and became a constraint on Chinese civilization.
Xue Hong sighed over this matter in his heart, but since there is a chance to change now, there is no need to be indecisive: "Your Majesty, I request an order to bring Western scholars and craftsmen under my jurisdiction. Within one year, I will definitely give your Majesty a
Perfect answer!”
When Emperor Longqing heard Xue Hong's words, he put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, I have always trusted Aiqing's ability. If this is the case, then let's play it.
The person who came to prepare the edict was Xue Hong, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, who was young and smart, and had repeatedly made meritorious deeds. He was specially awarded the title of Bachelor of Yao University, with the same rank as the second rank, and was given a jade belt. He had full authority to handle all the things he was responsible for. No one except me
People have the right to be held accountable.
I will also give you a bushel of royal wine, twenty bolts of silk, ten pounds of tribute tea, and a table for the royal banquet."
Xue Hong: "I accept the decree and express my gratitude. I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"
Emperor Longqing looked at Xue Hong with kind eyes. He liked young people like this. They knew what they should do and liked to do practical things. They usually did not form cliques for personal gain and did not have military power.
As for whether there will be no seals in the future? Emperor Longqing expressed his concern that those who could not eat were purely due to choking.
People in this life are just seeking fame, power, and wealth.
Money can't be earned in endless amounts. For Xue Hong, as long as he can spend it, it's fine. After all, Xue Hong hasn't spent even one thousandth of the money he spent to save Japan!
As for power, in Emperor Longqing's view, Xue Hong never regarded power as too important. How about saying that birds of a feather flock together and people flock together?
His son, the sixth son, went to Jinling for a few years and brought back two of his friends, but Emperor Long Qing said he did a great job!
As for fame, who doesn’t like fame? No matter how famous you are, what else can you do? If you don’t have soldiers, no one can rebel?
If there is really no seal in the future, the worst is a marriage. From the current point of view, the relationship between Xue Hong and Zhu Hui is very bad! The worst is for them to become in-laws. As long as their thinking does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties!
Emperor Longqing asked about fertilizer again.
Regarding the fertilizer, after Xue Hong adjusted and perfected the ratio, Chen Chen was responsible for supervising the production, and the experimental fields were produced by Zhu Hui, so they had more say in these matters.
The two people reported the real situation truthfully. Listening to their reports, Emperor Long Qing had a smile on his face unconsciously.
"Okay, if this is the case, there will be too many hungry people in the world. Lao Liu, you have to remember that since our Zhu family is in this position and is supported by all people, we must put the world as our top priority.
You are usually playful and naughty, but I never take care of you. It is because of your great virtue that I have always trusted you to handle many things."
Zhu Hui: "My son, please remember your father's teachings!"
Emperor Longqing looked at Zhu Hui. After closing his eyes for a moment, he opened his eyes again. He picked up the imperial pen and wrote the edict himself, and then asked Xia Shouzhong to put it away.
Emperor Longqing: "This edict is temporarily sealed and is not allowed to be exposed. Do you understand?"
Xia Shouzhong: "Old slave obeys the order."
After doing this, Emperor Longqing let out a heavy breath, as if he had made a decision, and as if he was about to let go of a heavy burden...
