"Brother Cong, if you give him such an important research project, can it be done?" Looking at Fang Yizhi leaving excitedly, Zhu Qiji couldn't be completely relieved. The thing he asked to invent this time was actually started by the institute.
They started making preparations, but without a theoretical basis, they could never figure out the way. In just two days, even his explanation sounded a bit confusing, could he really let that kid break into the house smoothly?
"To be honest, I don't know either." Zhu Youcong's face was also full of worry. If he had the right materials and the experience accumulated in his colorful working life, he would teach people to make that thing.
It's really not that difficult. He also wanted to develop by leaps and bounds, but now it's the Ming Dynasty, and all the theoretical research and talent accumulation have not been completed. What if he accidentally crosses the river?
The fingers of Point Shishinjin are very useful, but what you need to pay attention to, don't give the diamond into gold, that will be beaten. The Great Wall is very majestic, but if anyone takes the below
The wind blows away. The rise of the empire does not rely on those epoch-making products, but on the cultivation of talents and theoretical research. It is not difficult to build a hanging garden. If it doesn't work, just find a crane to lift it up. What is difficult is to wait.
Even after the upper load-bearing rope is broken, it can still stand on its solid base.
The purpose of making new gunpowder and tinkering with those monster weapons was to free the Ming Dynasty from its shackles and create a relatively peaceful sky so that the entire nation could breathe freely. The main purpose of throwing out the steam engine was also to keep the war out of the country and the Ming Empire.
You can rob everywhere, but you will never allow others to harass you. For those needs that are not urgent for the time being, he would rather let people study them slowly from the beginning.
"But your goal is too high..." Not out of jealousy, Zhu Qiji really couldn't rest assured. Although he didn't need that thing urgently, he knew how important it was. The research institute took a year
He has spent all his time working on wire telegraph, but this damn fat guy wants others to spend the same time laying a theoretical foundation for the development of wire telegraph. Isn’t this a torment? [
"Is it too high?" Zhu Youcong said with a smile: "It's better to set the height high. Only when you have pressure can you be motivated. It also prevents him from being too smart. Just bringing something out to show off every three days, doesn't that make you look like this?
Are you too incompetent to be the dean?"
"Is your brother so careless?" He glared at the fat man, and Zhu Qiji felt that he still couldn't understand his hatred and simply threw the teacup in his hand.
"Look! Look! He got angry right away." Zhu Youcong, who was slow to react, failed to dodge the hidden weapon in the end. He could only wipe the water stains on his body and carefully test: "If he can really complete it on time
For theoretical research work, brother, how soon can you come up with samples?"
"Half a year! As long as you have the theoretical foundation, I can build that thing for you within half a year!" Zhu Qiji is not talking nonsense. He is not good at theoretical research, but his reputation as the dean is not in vain.
It's stupid, as long as someone explains the principle clearly, he can figure out the structure according to the needs.
"Brother, what new thing are you thinking about? You have to show it to me first!" Chongzhen appeared. This fool who cheated his brothers... who would cheat his relatives, had just been quiet for two days and took advantage of Prince Fu.
I wasn't at home, so I just walked in the door without any formalities.
"Brother Jian? Today's court meeting is over so early?" There is still a fat man here who is so angry that he is not willing to pay for his life. There is another one coming over there. Zhu Qiji now wants to dig a tunnel and escape quickly.
"I'm so angry!" Chongzhen was not polite at all, he just found a seat to sit down, and sighed: "Brother, brother Cong, you don't know how good that old guy Zhou Yanru is! He almost got me in again.
Already."
"Zhou Yanru? What did he do again?" Zhu Qiji was very curious, hadn't the old guy been very well-behaved recently? Not long ago, he took the initiative to build a technical college. Could it be that after returning to Beijing, he was inspired by the situation and relapsed?
"Hey, brother, isn't it your Chidao that caused the trouble?" After taking the hot tea, Chongzhen thought that Zhu Qiji was apologizing to him. Then he explained: "For two days, that old guy forced Huang Ji to
The palace has become his home, and he is blocked at the door and cannot be driven away. If I weren't afraid of damaging the court's face, I really want to find someone to throw him outside the Meridian Gate!"
"The old guy is so thick-skinned?" Zhu Qiji became more and more confused the more he listened. The courtiers were becoming more and more rude now. A small business school director dared to go to the Huangji Palace to block the door and wait for two more days.
How could someone just rush into the emperor's palace and lift the quilt? "What's wrong with my brother's Xiuchidao?"
"Why is everything okay? This old guy has been arguing for so many days. He just wants to get permission to extend the road that the court originally planned to build to Nanjing to Yixing at his own expense..."
"Brother Emperor, this is a good thing. If he wants to build it, just approve it..." Zhu Youcong couldn't help it when he heard this. Others wanted to spend money to build roads to solve the problems for the court, but in the end, this unreasonable and foolish king still couldn't bear it.
Full of anger, what do you call these people?
"Nonsense!" Zhu Qiji and Chongzhen jumped up at the same time, pointing at Zhu Youcong's nose and scolding. "You damn fat guy, have you been looking for money all day long? If the road construction is left to him, then what will happen to the court?
Where is the face?"
After such scolding, Zhu Youcong finally understood. Building roads, at least for the Ming Dynasty, could only be a loss-making business, and it had to be done by the government. If Zhou Yanru wanted to build some country roads,
It would be fine if the court turned a blind eye, but what they are fighting for now is the construction rights of the country's main roads, so they cannot easily agree to anything.
The reason why private people are not allowed to build railways is not because they are afraid that the quality will not be guaranteed, but because these ancients were stupid. After the roads were built, they set up card tolls? Chongzhen, the foolish emperor, never thought about making money by building roads, and the gentry everywhere did not think about making a fortune in this way.
The way to get rich is to build bridges and pave roads, which is a well-known good deed. It is a shortcut to being famous among the people. If the road from Yixing to Nanjing is given to Zhou Yanru, this old guy will lose all his money for it.
Everyone will be secretly happy, because the people along the way will remember him for thousands of years, and maybe they will demolish the thousand-year-old temple and build a ancestral temple for him.
"You don't have to let them build the road, you can let them pay for it!" Zhu Youcong couldn't understand the thoughts of these people, so he could only settle for the second best, let others pay for it, and the court would do the work, and finally Chongzhen came to gain a good reputation.
"Do you think they are stupid?" Chongzhen rolled his eyes at Zhu Youcong and said, "It would have been better if I didn't say this as a brother, but when I did, I almost fell into the trap."
"Why?"
"Why else? That old guy Zhou Yanru was playing a red face when he was the leader, and he shamelessly fought with the court for the right to build roads. That bastard Wen Tiren was playing a white face. He agreed to only contribute money and not be involved in this matter.
Gaining fame. But he wants to do something else." This time, before anyone else asked, Chongzhen continued: "They actually set their eyes on the Technical College and asked the court to place the Technical College under the management of the Business School.
From now on, they will be responsible for all the expenses there. From now on, the students who come out of there will be uniformly dispatched by the imperial court, but the name of building schools and educating the people must be left to them." [
"What's the result?" This is another thing that sounds stupid. Zhu Youcong really can't figure out what these people are planning. But with the lessons learned from the past, he doesn't want to be scolded again, so he can only ask Chongzhen.
How did Hunjun deal with it in the end?
"The result?" Chongzhen said with a proud smile: "Brother Wei just handed this matter to Old Man Kong. Now he is leading people from the Ministry of Education to look for those profiteers. It will be solved after they finish arguing.
about there!"
Kong Yanru versus Zhou Yanru? Only Chongzhen, a foolish king, could do such outrageous things. Think about those two poor thin old men, just to do such a thankless thing for money, they had to fight first. But they both
He is a gentle man, and his fighting ability is quite good, so he should not cause many casualties. At most, he will be injured after spitting, and then they will go to the hospital together to drink medicine and continue to quarrel.
Fortunately, he is no longer the emperor, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to do such a shameful thing. Zhu Qiji shook his head helplessly and asked, "You came today just to show off this?"
"How could that be possible? Didn't I just come over to ask you a few questions after hearing that you were here, brother?"
What Zhu Qiji couldn't stand the most was Chongzhen's smile, because it often meant that he was going to trick his family again. "Don't do this with your brother. If you have anything to do, just tell me. My research institute is still busy.
I'm here. I have to rush back to Luoyang after I arrange things in the capital, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
"This is the first thing that Old Man Kong asked me to ask about. I wonder about the generator and the locomotive..."
"Don't worry about this. I have already sent the drawings to the Imperial College. The principles contained in them are also being sorted out, and they will be compiled into a volume and distributed soon." The institute is now not only responsible for research and development work, but also responsible for
Compile those new theories that have been proven to be correct or wrong into teaching materials. They will then be abridged and distributed to ordinary official schools by the Imperial College. This not only ensures the need for follow-up research, but also can be done without revealing core secrets.
Common science.
"The second one belongs to Taoist Wang from the Ministry of Industry. Liaodong is pressing him hard now. So many workers still can't fully cope with it, so he wants to ask the research institute if he can design a smaller one that doesn't need to be placed on the railway track.
A running locomotive?" As early as on the way back to Beijing, the ministers of the DPRK and China were already planning how to use the train. For example, Wang Zheng thought of miniaturizing this train and using it in Liaodong to replace cattle, and started the Ming Dynasty version.
of mechanized farming.
"This matter is not my responsibility. You can ask the college to try it. Anyway, they have the drawings and know the principles, so it shouldn't be a problem to solve." There are too many things that the institute needs to be responsible for, which was not the case in previous years.
The method had to be developed and improved at the same time, but now that the Imperial Academy exists, the rest of the work can be left to the students.
"Brother, you can't be so unreasonable. Why do you have to build one for me first and replace that carriage?" This was Chongzhen's purpose. For thousands of years, emperors have always traveled in carriages when going on inspections, although he now has
I have a special train, but that thing needs a railway. If it can be made smaller, so that he can sit and walk around when he has nothing to do, that would be so majestic.
"No time!" He refused affectionately, but Zhu Qiji still couldn't bear to see Chongzhen's disappointed look. He could only add: "But I can tell you that the institute has something better that has completed the theoretical design.
And the production of models will be ready for practical application in a short time.”
"You know that you are the best, brother." Chongzhen put away his cute, disgusting, and unbeatable expression, turned to Zhu Youcong with a sullen face and said: "Brother Cong, you have caused such a big problem to my brother.
What a disaster, why don’t you show any signs?”
"Causing trouble? Brother Emperor, can you have some conscience? I've been very busy recently. I didn't even attend the court meeting when I returned to Beijing. How can I have time to cause trouble?" Chongzhen is not a sister of the Zhang family.
, not to mention his livid face, even if he was furious, Zhu Youcong would still remain unmoved and continue to yawn, thinking about how to drive the emperor out of the house.
"You still have the nerve to say it?" Chongzhen became even more angry when he mentioned this. He threw out several memorials he carried with him and said angrily: "Look, see for yourself, these are all memorials created by the ministers of the DPRK and China.
!”
"Change a move! This method has been used last time. I won't be stupid enough to be fooled again!" Zhu Youcong didn't even change his posture. When he was in Nanjing, he had already been robbed by Chongzhen and Han using this method.
, produces immunity.
"Have you used it?" He took back the memorial on the table angrily, and Chongzhen muttered: "Did I remember it wrong again? That damn old man Han didn't remind him before he went out, and he would slowly trouble him later.
"
"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhu Youcong knew that the emperor's visit would be up to no good. But he really didn't expect that he would use this method to make his opening remarks.
"Just two small things. Xia Yunyi from the north has sent a letter. He said that the boy Li Zhen has been having a hard time recently. It seems that he has a hidden meaning. Old man Han called me to stop by and ask for your opinion." This is indeed true.
It's not big. Don't think that anyone can carry the banner of rebellion and become emperor.
Li Zhen, who was promoted as the second leader of the Bangzi Kingdom at that time, is now in a difficult position. The reason why he has not been eliminated is entirely because the team left by Li Zicheng is supporting him. Otherwise, what can that Hong Yihan do?
Why? Since the end of the Battle of Wajima, Zhu Youcong has secretly ordered those evil spirits who were still in Bangzi Kingdom to begin to withdraw. Now, apart from hiding in Daqiu City and lamenting their bad fate, the two monarchs and ministers can only wait until they are caught.
Go back and behead your head. Make a decision between betraying your country and joining the Ming Dynasty for peace.
"What did Old Man Han say?" It was not enough for Li Zhen to surrender. Zhu Youcong was not in the mood to argue with Li about who was the ruler of that land.
"Xiong Wencan felt that he could agree to this request and swallow up the territory in Li Zhen's hands first, further reducing Li Zhen's living space. But..." Chongzhen then added: "Old man Han put forward a different opinion. He wanted to
The unlucky Li Jian was first left to use his name to deal with Li Jie in the north, and then eliminate future troubles."[
"This old cunning guy!" Jiang was still old and hot after all, and Zhu Youcong also agreed with Han's method. "Well, I asked Zhang Polu to send 20,000 new troops. In addition, I asked Xia Yunyi to select 30,000 most obedient workers.
, go over from the sea for reinforcements. However, Emperor Brother, you have to suffer a little loss and write a letter to tell that cheap grandson that as long as he is willing to hand over all the territory under his name and move his family to the capital, he will reward the Shikoku on the Japanese island.
give him."
"This place is too big, can you change it to a smaller one?" Chongzhen knew exactly what this meant. The thirty thousand workers were not going to fight, but to completely disrupt the people's hearts and publicize the benefits of the Ming Dynasty. As for the benefits of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the reward of quick territory, this person has been kept captive by the Ming Dynasty. No matter how famous he is, what else can he do? Give him the title of leader of the country, just to sound supportive when the Ming Dynasty wants to beat people up in the future.
It's just more.
"Then you can choose it yourself. There are many islands around here anyway!" He is so stingy that he is not willing to let others get more for his reputation. How can such a person be the emperor with peace of mind?
"That's it. I'll ask my brother when he has time in two days and choose one with better scenery." mny nodded, and Chongzhen continued: "The second thing is that Annan sends an envoy.
I said that I wanted to congratulate my brother on marrying those Western princesses. But what exactly are their plans? You should know better than me, right?"
Annan? Haven't they done a good job in closing the door and becoming emperors in recent years? When the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Japan, they didn't even stand up to express their solidarity. What else could they do to send people here at this time? Ma Wannian has already done that
They can't bear the torment and want to ask for help? When Li Zicheng's Overseas Legion and Qin Liangyu's Southern Group Army are on the move, why don't they just hide in the ground and act like rats?
Oh, by the way, tunnel combat is a skill that the Annan monkeys in another time and space learned from their masters. They cannot be given the opportunity to figure it out on their own. It seems that they must inform Qin Liangyu quickly to carry out targeted training, and by the way, Liaodong has already been given to Liaodong.
The captains, who were turned upside down, went to have some exchanges with the soldiers from the overseas legions.
It is definitely hopeless to ask for help, and a beating is a must. But they have sent envoys to congratulate them. No matter how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, it must be reasonable, right? "Have they sent their tribute notes?"
"Isn't that right? It was already delivered to Li Guopu before we returned to Beijing. You haven't entered the palace in the past two days. My brother forgot to bring it with him when he went out today." This time Chongzhen forgot it on purpose, so he returned that little thing.
I'm really embarrassed to show it off.
The leader of the Annan Kingdom, Li Weiqi, is too stingy. The Ming Dynasty has already set its sights on his territory. Why should he consciously click on the attached book to announce his intention to abdicate? What's the use of just sending money?
"Well done!" This was really just what he thought of. Zhu Youcong was worried about not being able to find an excuse to beat someone. Unexpectedly, he had already put his head on the guillotine. The name of King Annan is really
That’s right, Li Shenzong, it’s not up to him to decide whether to become a god or immortal after being dealt with by the Ming army? “Brother, will this be announced tomorrow?”
"Are you taking the blame for your brother again?" Chongzhen protested dissatisfied: "You damn fat guy, you always play this trick, can you change it to something new?"
"Isn't it just a crime of bullying the emperor? Don't worry, no one will say you are stupid!" Bribery to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is so fun? If you don't get what you agreed on, you are treating the emperor like a monkey, right?
The emperor would be angry, and the army under General Zhenguo would also let him know how serious a mistake it was to lie.
"Then this is the last time. I'll use another excuse in the future!" He deserved his unlucky reputation as an emperor. Chongzhen also knew that he couldn't find a better reason to start a war than that. "Also tell those bandits that the tributes are beautiful.
Just treat women as their rewards, don't transport them back with valuables."
"Okay! I'll change it next time!" Let's talk about it next time. Zhu Youcong usually won't give up this opportunity to make the emperor take the blame. (To be continued...)
