Chapter 159 Foreshadowing
Kangxi is indeed extraordinary, he accepted this incredible thing so quickly. It was earlier than Shuyun expected, so that Shuyun could continue with confidence.
"As long as the pharmaceutical factory is built, penicillin can be produced very quickly. The current ones are injections, and there are tablets that are easier to store and use. However, it can only be mass-produced until the craftsman has developed a suitable machine, so the role of the craftsman must not be ignored. Shuyun paused, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, this penicillin is still a little late, if it could have been produced a few years earlier, it would have saved the lives of many soldiers in the war with the three feudatories." ”
"It's not too late, it's never too late for something like this to benefit the people of the world. It's just that I still can't believe it. While speaking, the grass and trees had been taken care of, Kangxi stopped Shuyun and picked up Xiaohua again.
Shuyun was also happy to be taken over by Kangxi. Sitting there with peace of mind, he smiled and watched Kangxi serve his son, and then said: "There is nothing to believe, there is nothing in this world that cannot be done, only unexpected." Of course, this can't happen overnight. In fact, many years ago, when I was still in the Holy See, I began to work on it. At that time, I was also new to this aspect, and I was very interested in that magical microcosm world. And there is only a hazy idea in my heart - since the gold, stone, flowers and plants, everything in heaven and earth can be used for medicine. So are these little things okay too? So I tried to do my research, but I didn't expect it to be successful, although the process was a bit long. But the end result surprised even me. Of course, Shuyun's words are inevitably a little untrue. This is also deliberately done to win Kangxi's trust.
Kangxi nodded suddenly: "The southernmost part of the courtyard, the one near the door." What is the laboratory room called, you have never allowed others to enter. Isn't it used to study this so-called penicillin? ”
Shuyun nodded. After taking over the excretion from Kangxi's hands, she became a pleasant little flower. The bell rang again. In the blink of an eye, the little palace maid Orange lowered her head and walked in quickly. The little girl was clever, and she didn't need Shuyun's instructions at all, so she took the dirty wooden bucket out of the room, and went to the bathroom to bring a large basin of clean and docile to help Shuyun clean the little butts of the three little buns. It disappeared silently.
It was only then that Kangxi continued: "No wonder you always stay in that room for a while. Sometimes even when I come, I'm thrown aside. However, I remember that it seemed like it had been a long time since I had seen you in that lab, and some of the things in it seemed to have been moved to the medical school. Does that mean you've already figured out that penicillin? Kangxi peeled back the cocoon, and the conclusions of the analysis were not much different from the reality.
Shuyun took out two small and delicate toys with copper bells from the small basket next to the crib and put them in the little hands of Xiaoshu and Xiaohua. picked up the pouting little grass again, blinking his big eyes, and looking a little aggrieved. While unbuttoning his clothes, he said softly: "Xiaocao is good." Let the younger brothers play first, let's eat milk first, and then play after eating milk. ”
Watching Xiaocao stir her mouth and squint. Eat peacefully for a while. Shuyun turned back to Kangxi and said, "Yes, although it has been researched for a while, there is no corresponding production equipment and glassware. There are also needles and other utensils, everything can only be in the air. ”
Kangxi's eyes flickered with distress. "No wonder you treat those craftsmen so kindly, this time they are really a great meritorious." I can't be stingy as an emperor. In addition to the conditions already announced, you can also send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select 200 craftsmen by yourself, and you can expand the scale of the Xiangxuehai Artisan Office as appropriate. All expenses are borne by the household department. There are also those craftsmen who have made outstanding contributions, allowing them to "abolish the craftsman registration". Kangxi stared at a certain point with a blank look, and although his words were clear, he was obviously a little absent-minded.
Following Kangxi's gaze, Shuyun found that "that point" turned out to be her fair and towering breasts. Shuyun glared at Kangxi with some embarrassment, and turned her back again. Only then did he say: "The matter of abolishing the craftsman's registration will be discussed later." Now the craftsmen of the Xiangxuehai Artisan Institute are already superior among their peers, and the treatment given to them by the imperial court is already generous enough, if they increase the weight, what will the other craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry think? The most important ones are the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works, which will also cause inconvenience in the management of these craftsmen.
It is better to select some skilled people from these people who have made contributions, and let them bring more apprentices, who is the least selfish, and who brings out the best apprentices, who can enjoy this preferential treatment. In this way, not only can more craftsmen be trained, but it can also be regarded as a justifiable reason. ”
Kangxi's thoughts, Shuyun can guess a rough idea, it is nothing more than wanting to do an experiment with the craftsmen of Xiangxuehai, if those craftsmen are honest and make achievements, Kangxi is also happy to promote some craftsmen who can be completely loyal to the court and used by the court, and the most important thing is to be able to make him completely at ease.
And such a benefit, Shuyun is unwilling to accept. Because this does not fundamentally change the status quo of craftsmen, it can only create some irreconcilable contradictions among craftsmen.
Although in May of the second year of Shunzhi, the Qing government had already issued a decree: "All provinces shall be exempted from the status of craftsmen and exempt from the price of craftsmen in Beijing." ”
However, it did not fundamentally change the low social status of the craftsmen. It's just that on the surface, it is no longer subordinate to the government as it was in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been implemented in shifts or living in shifts to serve the country. Rather, they are free to engage in handicrafts. But people are still accustomed to calling craftsmen craftsmen. This phenomenon even continued into the sixties and seventies of the 20th century, when people still called craftsmen - so-and-so craftsmen.
For example, the fried fritters are actually called "fruit makers", and the pig killers are called "pig killers".
In particular, the craftsmen who belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs were nominally abolished, but in reality their situation did not change. And these people are precisely the top group of craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi's "abolition of the craftsman's registration" actually refers to the exemption from all kinds of restrictions imposed on them by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But this is not what Shuyun wants most, Shuyun hopes that one day those unspoken inequality clauses can be abolished, and then those top craftsmen can become a group of admired and respected beings, just like the scientists and researchers of the Academy of Sciences in the previous life.
Han craftsmen are extremely conservative about the protection and inheritance of their crafts, and there is an old saying that "the apprentice of the church starves the master". It is precisely because of this concern that craftsmen tend to keep a hand in their apprenticeship. In this way, you keep one hand, he keeps one hand, and the end result is that many superb skills are gradually lost. Otherwise, the Yuan and Ming dynasties would implement the craftsman registration system, and part of the reason was that they wanted some crafts to be passed down from generation to generation. You should always rest assured that your son and grandson will no longer hide their secrets. But Lao Tzu is good at this, it doesn't mean that his son, his grandson also has this talent, so some crafts still can't escape the fate of being lost.
And Kangxi's sudden "generosity" just gave Shuyun a chance. The suggestion that Shuyun just put forward can not only break the self-cherishing of craftsmen, but also lay the groundwork for the future of the polytechnic.
Kangxi pondered for a moment and said: "What you said also makes sense, it's that I have been a little inconsiderate, and these craftsmen made a lot of trouble in the previous dynasty. Well, let's do as you say. Although there are some loopholes, it is still a solution. If the craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry have an opinion, as long as they have the ability, I can also give them a chance. ”
After Kangxi finished speaking, he salivated and rubbed behind Shuyun. The scorching breath sprayed on Shuyun's neck, tickling the hearts of the flirtatious people. It's just that Shuyun has just finished feeding the grass, and the little tree hasn't eaten two bites yet. How can there be that idle time to take care of him, so he is a little impatient with someone's actions. Twisted his body slightly, without affecting Xiaoshu's eating, he wanted to get rid of Kangxi's annoying entanglement as much as possible.
But who is Kangxi? On this issue, the dead skin is full of strength, and it is definitely with Tuan Tuan, the two small buns of dragon eggs, and the flame of the donkey, and there is a fight for the persistence of food.
Lao Kang didn't mind Shuyun's cold face, and further hugged Shuyun from behind, resting his chin on Shuyun's shoulder, and his face was also attached to the side of Shuyun's fair cheek. One hand stroked the back of Shuyun's hand holding the little tree, and said casually and softly, "Look, how can these three little guys eat the same as Yinzhen and Tian'en." They're not going to grow into three little fat people, are they? Although it is a very common family word, the soft and magnetic voice, coupled with the movement of his hand, is extraordinarily provocative.
But Kangxi seems to have forgotten that Shuyun hates the word "fat" very much. Not only because of his figure that has not fully recovered, but most importantly, because of the annoying body shape of the dragon egg and Tuan Tuan's two little buns. Can you imagine? The future Emperor Yongzheng, the cold-hearted and stoic man in the history books, is now very likely to be a greedy fat man. And the girl who should be beautiful and lovely is likely to become a beauty recognized by the masses of the people only by traveling to the Tang Dynasty in the future. If it weren't for the fact that she was the emperor's daughter, Shuyun would still have to worry that she wouldn't be able to get married. At this point, Shuyun was very glad that she had come from Kangxi.
