At a young age, Zhu Zaiji was able to get a reward, and it was a huge sum of eight hundred taels...... How could Zhu Houxi not say that he gave his son a lot of silk brocade and festive treasures.

Someone pays for it anyway.

There is a wrong, there is a debtor, you are a man surnamed Wang, you are calculating, I don't let you vomit it twice, I am not worthy of being the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Houxi was fierce and killed the palace, but it happened that Wang Yue was really at home, but he buried himself in a large pile of books and manuscripts.

Keep your head down and write hard.

"Ahem...... Uncle Fuyuan, Wang Yue! What are your amazing writings? Or, who are you going to calculate? Are you going to dig a hole for me? ”

Zhu Houxi sat down while teasing.

Wang Yue put down the pen, rubbed his sore eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is here, the prince's performance is getting better and better, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

"Phew!"

Zhu Houxi was so angry that he smacked Wang Yue fiercely.

"Are you still unreasonable? You cheated my money, and then gave a change to the prince, and asked the prince to run to report the good news to me, you, you really despise the monarch...... If it weren't for the past feelings, I would have been able to do you a big disrespect! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Yue said lazily.

"Who said I forgave you?" Zhu Houxi said angrily: "The sin can be let go, but the one million taels must be given by you, otherwise we won't be finished!" ”

"Oh!"

Wang Yue didn't refute, but honestly agreed, which made Zhu Houxi a little surprised, and punched the cotton bag, and his waist was not so comfortable.

"You don't want to tell the difference? Aren't you quite able to tell? ”

Wang Yue smiled, "I can give money to Your Majesty, but the minister's family business has long been ruined by my daughter-in-law, and I can only rely on writing to exchange money now." By the time I get these books out, I'll probably be enough. ”

Zhu Houxi snorted coldly, "What book?" The ancients had a lot of money, and if you want to make a million taels by selling books, it's a bit difficult! And even if someone pays for it, it's not because of the book, it's because of the person who wrote it! So it's still a personal use of power, and your wife won't agree to it. ”

Wang Yue was helpless, "Your Majesty knows, so why bother with the ministers!" ”

"You made it ugly for me first!"

Zhu Houxi casually picked up Wang Yue's manuscript and read it.

"Introduction to Metallurgy...... What the hell is this? Also worthy of being called learning? ”

Wang Yue's face darkened, "It is the smelting of metal, copper, iron, gold and silver, all of which are counted." ”

"Oh! That...... Is there any alchemy? Zhu Houxi said curiously.

"Yes, it's this chemistry primary."

Wang Yue threw Zhu Houxi a pamphlet again.

"Chemistry? Where did you get so much learning? Anything else? Zhu Houxi said irritably.

"Yes, such as physics, mechanics, dynamics, mathematics, mining ......" Wang Yue took out more than a dozen pamphlets in one breath and placed them in front of Zhu Houxi in turn.

This can scare His Majesty the Emperor.

How can there be so many?

"What the hell are these things?"

"It's not a thing, but this time I took the opportunity to study steam power, and I, and the students, made a systematic technical summary."

Zhu Houxi was still a little confused.

Wang Yue continued: "All along, we have regarded the way of the sages and the thought as knowledge, enshrined as a guideline, and vigorously disseminated it. As for some technological innovations and the development of understanding of the world, it is a strange thing to talk about......"

Speaking of this, Wang Yue paused deliberately, who he was talking about, it should be very clear.

Zhu Houxi's face darkened and he didn't speak.

Wang Yue continued: "But there is a fact, we must pay attention to the fact that the progress of technology can indeed change the war, for example, the emergence of new plate armor, we have an advantage over the Mongol cavalry, we can defeat them, defeat the Mongol cavalry, we can establish self-confidence. In turn, our self-confidence reinforces the concept of unification, which in turn affects the people of the world......"

Zhu Houxi frowned, and thought hard for a long time, "Wang Yue, do you want to say that technology is the foundation, and all the ways of sages are trivial?" ”

Wang Yue was shocked.

"Your Majesty, you really hit the nail on the head, you said it so well!"

Zhu Houxi rolled his eyes angrily, "You are a fool!" Can't understand your nonsense? ”

Wang Yue sneered, "Your Majesty, the minister summed up these studies this time and divided them into categories, in order to sort out people's heads and let the big guys understand how to do research and which direction to go." I believe that there are so many scholars, not all of whom are intoxicated with the subtle words of the sages, and there are still many people who are willing to study other knowledge. And the more people there are, and the more knowledge they have researched, the more completely new things can be made, machines more powerful than steam hammers, and better weapons than plate armor...... With these things, the greater the advantage over the barbarians, the more victories...... All in all, His Majesty has prospered the Ming Dynasty and created an unprecedented prosperous era, relying on these things. ”

Wang Yue's enthusiastic words simply moved Zhu Houxi.

is worthy of being a little rich and noble, just for his own sake, an absolute loyal minister!

Zhu Houxi even forgot what he was here for, and actually began to look through Wang Yue's manuscript. Although Zhu Houxi is not proficient, he is not stupid, and what Wang Yue wrote also has the meaning of popular science, in order to make it understandable to laymen.

This doesn't matter, Zhu Houxi actually fell into it.

For example, the smelting knowledge improved above challenges Zhu Houxi's concept, according to Wang Yue's words, the gold pill refined not only cannot soar, but also has great harm, is this true?

Look at the booklet of astronomy, which has a description of the appearance of the moon, the theory of the circle of the earth, and the movement of celestial bodies...... These are all Zhu Houxi's favorite fields!

He didn't care about it, but he actually read it for most of the day, and it was dusk, so he was reluctant to put the book down.

"That...... Wang Yue, how about you give me a set? Uh, no, I'll pay, I'm willing to buy! It doesn't matter how much you want! ”

Wang Yue laughed, "Your Majesty can afford it, this is a blessing for the minister." These are all first drafts, and the minister has to proofread and revise them, and then publish them, all of which are entry-level readings, a hundred and ten dollars, that is. ”

"Ahh

Zhu Houxi exclaimed, "With such a profound knowledge, you can sell it for a hundred yuan, don't you think it's a loss?" ”

"The ministers are all for the purpose of promoting edification and opening up wisdom! How can a mere amount of money be put in the eyes of a minister? ”

Don't say anything, at this moment, Wang Yue's aura came out.

It's like standing on the ground and being sanctified, and it will soar directly.

"Good! Very good! ”

Zhu Houxi clenched his fists and said loudly: "You are right, I want to issue an order to let all scholars in the world learn these things, learn how to do things for the imperial court, and how to benefit the world." Don't be intrigued all day long, you know that you are against me. ”

Zhu Houxi swore solemnly.

This time, Wang Yue not only didn't have to pay, but also got the biggest helper.

With the support of Zhu Houxi, Wang Yue's set of books quickly entered the printing stage.

As a result of the green light, within a month, Wang Yue's books began to be published one after another.

This is no small thing.

Since Wang Yue ascended the altar to give lectures, there is a faint posture of replacing Yang Ming Gong and becoming a new saint, but the question is what will you Wang Yue do?

What do you want to talk about?

There's got to be something about it!

The publication of these pamphlets completely made up for the shortcomings.

It's not so much that Wang Yue writes well, but that his classification mode is eye-catching.

The book was transmitted to Zhejiang, and after Yang Minggong read it, he smiled and said to his subordinates, "If I had read these books earlier, I wouldn't have been stupid with bamboo!" ”

Yang Ming Gong praised it, and there is no doubt that it was a powerful booster.

These pamphlets quickly seized the North and South markets and became the best-selling works. In the words of later generations, that is the super boss who sells the gold list.

That's all there is to it.

Even the officialdom was alarmed.

"Brother-in-law, I'm going to resign and don't do it."

Yan Song was stunned, he can't do anything else, but it's really good to his wife, he is still an old wife, if it is not expected, it will continue.

For the sake of his wife's face, he also takes great care of his brother-in-law Ouyang Bijin, and he definitely has a bright career and an unlimited future.

"You, you must have a reason for your resignation, right?"

Ouyang Bijin sighed: "I'm not a person who reads, I'm still confused, and I don't know what to do...... Since reading the prince's book, I have understood that my interest is in agricultural machinery, after I resigned, I went to Xishan College to study, fortunately, not far away, my nephew is still teaching in it, maybe I can ask him for advice! ”

Yan Song was stupid, it took him a long time to accept the reality that his brother-in-law gave up his high-ranking officials and went to study!

Everything is inferior, but reading is high!

How can you do that?

But Ouyang Bijin also makes sense, who said that you must be an official when you study, it's ridiculous!

Reading, inventing, and even writing books, and disseminating knowledge, isn't this the same as establishing morality, making speeches, and making meritorious contributions!

"Brother-in-law! It's time for you to change your mind! ”

Yan Song was said to be stupid.

"Then, if you are all like you, thinking about this, then who will farm the land, who will plow the land?"

"Hahahaha!" Ouyang Bijin laughed, "Brother-in-law, not to mention that not only will we not make farming wasted, but we can also promote the increase of field yields...... Don't my brother-in-law know that our army has already broken through Annan. The incompetent coward Qiu Luan captured the king of Annam with his own hands! ”
