Zhu Cihong, who was happy, was the first to notice that his father's face was abnormal, and suddenly, his heart sank, thinking, should his father regret it?

When he was thinking like this, he heard Emperor Chongzhen's face show embarrassment, sat up straight, and said to Zhang Mingwei with a little apology: "Mr. looks at my memory, and he hasn't asked Mr. Gao's name until now, it's really rude!" ”

Actually, it's no wonder that he is.

Just when he was desperate for the defeat of Songshan and the loss of the main force of the imperial court, and felt that the Ming Dynasty was about to lose the country, Zhang Mingwei appeared in front of him strangely out of thin air. So, he was immediately regarded as a lifesaver, wishful thinking that this was a god from heaven to help him.

Although through subsequent communication, it was discovered that this magical person was not an immortal, but it was from the afterlife, which also surprised Emperor Chongzhen. Immediately after asking about the development of history, one by one, one thing after another, what he saw and heard, etc., always shocked him. Something as trivial as asking for a name certainly won't be a top priority.

It was also at this time that he had talked enough about it, and when he thought of an idea, he remembered that he didn't even know Zhang Mingwei's name.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's words made Zhu Cihong on the side stunned, and even there was any movement in the side hall, obviously Princess Kunxing didn't expect it.

It's really true, after chatting for so long, I promised my own daughter out, but I didn't know what the other party's name was......

Zhang Mingwei listened, but he didn't care, and it was not too late to say it at this time: "My surname is Zhang, Gong Chang Zhang, and my name is Mingwei, which is the Ming of the Ming Dynasty, the great Wei." ”

Hearing this name, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but think in his heart, look, although Mr. is a person from later generations, he is also sent by God to help him, no, even the name means "Ming greatness".

After waiting for a while, before Zhang Mingwei said anything more, Emperor Chongzhen asked again: "What is the word of Mr?" ”

"We're out of the way at that meeting, so I don't either!"

Emperor Chongzhen heard it a little strangely and said, "In this way, isn't there a lot of duplicate names?" ”

For the things of the future generations, all the babies in this hall are curious, and they all listen to Zhang Mingwei's answer with their ears pricked up.

"There are indeed a lot of duplicate names!" Zhang Mingwei said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, there are nearly 300,000 people with the most duplicate names. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't imagine that there could be 300,000 people with the same name? It's incredible!

Puzzled in his heart, he asked again, "How many people were there at that time?" ”

"It's probably more than 1.4 billion!" Zhang Mingwei replied, seeing that Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to understand immediately, he explained, "It's 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 ”

There was a "bang", and there was another movement from the side hall.

And Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong both opened their mouths wide and looked dumbfounded.

This number makes people in this era really unimaginable!

Seeing them like this, Zhang Mingwei felt teasing in his heart, so he added with a smile: "It's just that the permanent population of Jingshi is about more than 20 million people. If you count other floating populations and the like, there are at least 30 million people in Jingshi. ”

After he finished speaking, the stunned people continued to remain dumbfounded.

At this time, a city with a population of one million people, including the East and the West, was a very large city, and it was the most prosperous. Daming has a city of one million people, and there are only a few of them.

Zhang Mingwei's words, let anyone in this era listen to them, and they will not be much better than Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong's brothers and sisters. It can even be said that they can't even imagine what kind of prosperity it will be for so many people, and the city they live in will be so big that it will be boundless, right?

And Chongzhen, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is naturally more sensitive to the population, so he is naturally more shocked. Therefore, it was Zhu Cihong who came back to his senses first and asked in surprise: "Sir, there are so many people, is there enough food to eat?" ”

How many people are there in the Ming Dynasty now, they are already starving for food and rebelling everywhere, so many people, how much food do they have to eat in a day!

"Of course it's enough!" Zhang Mingwei listened, smiled and said, "The varieties of crops will be improved, scientific planting, etc., in short, the development of science and technology, no matter how many people can feed!" ”

While shocking these ancients, he also promoted the power of science and technology, which is what he is most willing to do.

Sure enough, after Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he came back to his senses and immediately said to Zhang Mingwei: "Mr. must preach well in Daming and solve doubts, and spread this scientific and technological knowledge widely, I will definitely fully support it!" ”

For the ancients, as small as a family or as large as an empire, it was the understanding that many people are powerful. If the Ming Dynasty can have such a population one day, the Ming Dynasty will really be the only one in the world! Of course, the premise is to be able to feed.

After seeing Zhang Mingwei nodding, Emperor Chongzhen still remembered what he thought before, and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, otherwise, he would really forget what he wanted to do again.

This is not to blame him, it is really every news that Zhang Mingwei said is the kind that shocked them very much, and it is too easy to crook the building.

I only heard Emperor Chongzhen then ask Zhang Mingwei: "Mr. is so knowledgeable, I don't know what his background is, in addition to scientific and technological knowledge, what else is involved, such as military books and the like?" ”

Hearing this question, Zhang Mingwei was slightly stunned, a little unintelligible.

But Zhu Cihong helped him answer: "Mr. is so knowledgeable, at least he was born as a Jinshi, maybe he is still the champion!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Mingwei understood what Emperor Chongzhen was asking, so he smiled and replied: "There will be exams similar to the imperial examination in later generations, I am 211, according to the proportion of candidates, it should be a third-class jinshi and the like." As for the military books, I have read some, high school ...... When I was a student, I also participated in military training. ”

Zhu Cihong listened to it, and felt a little regretful that Zhang Mingwei, who was so knowledgeable, was not the champion. But Emperor Chongzhen's focus is obviously not here. I saw him ask suspiciously: "What is military training?" ”

"It's recruit training!" Zhang Mingwei explained in passing, feeling that Emperor Chongzhen would not understand, so he explained again: "In my era, anyone had to serve in the military. However, school students, similar to those studying in the country, can master the basic skills of serving in the army through military training, as a substitute for military service. If the country needs to mobilize for war, it will not be at all. ”

As soon as his words fell, he suddenly saw a stunned scene again. Obviously, everyone had to do military service, even the prisoners of the country, who had to participate in military training, which shocked them again.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen came back to his senses and couldn't help but be very envious. If Da Ming is like this, I'm afraid there will be no army available! However, it is too difficult for everyone to participate in military training and military service for everyone!

After thinking for a while, he shook his head vigorously, trying not to think about it too much, and he blamed Mr. for saying everything so surprisingly, that he almost forgot about it again.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen probably understood Zhang Mingwei's resume, and spoke sincerely.
