The new policy of the Chongzhen Dynasty, which began in Kaifeng, has always been dominated by heavyweights.

The starting place of Kaifeng, at the beginning, was the Duke of Xingguo, who held a heavy army, and later the cabinet assistant minister Gu Yinxi;

The second place to implement the new policy was Wuchang, Huguang, which was also the Duke of Xingguo with heavy troops at first, and then handed over to Zhu Cihong, the crown prince in Jiangnan.

The third place to implement the new policy was still the Xingguo Gong, who had a heavy army, and was later taken over by Liu Zhibo, the governor of Sichuan.

Therefore, it is completely necessary for the new policy in Shandong to send the highest official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, that is, the Zuodu Yushi, to sit in the town.

Emperor Chongzhen has no opinion, and the cabinet has no other ideas. Only Zuo Du Yushi Zuo Maodi, sighed in his heart and immediately responded.

On the Shandong side, there are not only vassal kings, but also this troublesome Yan Shenggong. It's not very easy to do!

Zhang Mingwei actually knew his difficulties, and after thinking about it, he played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the situation here in Shandong is quite special, and there is no heavy military deterrence like other places, and it is indeed a bit difficult to implement the new policy. I suggest that officials be transferred from several other places where the new policy has been implemented to assist the Imperial History of Zuodu in completing this matter. ”

The reason why he suggested this was actually for another purpose, but he didn't say it.

It's Wang Erbiao from Dongchang who just took the army out of Beijing, and he always has to give him some time.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhang Mingwei's words, of course he would not have an opinion, and Zuo Maodi was also pleased, and the matter was settled.

Subsequently, it was to discuss what kind of manpower to transfer, and quickly transfer people, Zhang Mingwei was not interested in participating in these things.

Therefore, they were discussing things, but Zhang Mingwei was thinking about the problem by himself, and the old god was there.

Emperor Chongzhen saw it, but didn't say anything. After the results were obtained, he couldn't help but ask Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, what do you think?" ”

The other people in the hall were all accustomed to Emperor Chongzhen asking the Duke of Xingguo, and they were all calm.

"I'm okay with that!" Zhang Mingwei listened and said honestly, "I didn't listen at all just now, I was thinking about my own affairs!" ”

“……”

In the Wenhua Palace, as soon as he finished saying this, everyone was quiet.

The Imperial Council will be able to say such a thing as the Emperor of Xingguo.

After Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, after coming back to his senses, he immediately asked with a little curiosity, "What is Mr. thinking?" ”

Others are also curious, in this case, Xingguo Gongdu will think about other things, that must be very important things, right?

Hearing the question, Zhang Mingwei replied with a smile: "If there is no other very important matter, I plan to devote myself to the construction of the steam engine." ”

As soon as he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen's face immediately burst into laughter, and he quickly nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. will go out in person, that's the best, I want this steam engine, I've dreamed of it several times!" ”

He is not exaggerating, since he saw the documentary that Zhang Mingwei showed him, he has dreamed many times about the magic in the film, including the steam train, of course.

However, his words, in the eyes of people other than Wang Chengen in the main hall, felt that they were exaggerated! The emperor really knows that this steam engine can be built and can play such a huge role?

To be honest, they still have doubts in their hearts.

Of course, because Zhang Mingwei opened their eyes, they didn't disbelieve it, but they didn't reach the point of being like Emperor Chongzhen.

At this time, hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words, Zhang Mingwei couldn't help laughing, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen: "The construction of this steam engine will definitely leave a name in history and be remembered by future generations!" Your Majesty......"

Speaking of this, he then turned his head to look at these people in the main hall, and said with a smile: "And everyone, do you want to be together?" ”

Go down in history! Whoever doesn't want it, whose brain will be caught in the door!

However, for Emperor Chongzhen, he is determined to leave his name in the annals of history, so he is most concerned about other people, such as Du Yinxi because of his relationship with Zhang Mingwei, he was embarrassed and embarrassed, and hurriedly asked: "Guogong, of course this is my wish!" However, I can't wait, so what can I do? ”

Speaking of this, he asked tentatively: "Should it be, what Guogong means is that we all worship under Guogong's door, and then build this steam engine together?" ”

Including the emperor, the cabinet, the celebrant supervisor, the six ministries and nine secretaries, etc., all became Zhang Mingwei's students?

Zhang Mingwei didn't dare to imagine this matter, but he didn't expect to be told by Yin Xi!

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei immediately laughed and said: "I didn't mean that!" If you really become my students and build a steam engine, then who will handle the state affairs? ”

Hearing his words, laughter rang out in the Wenhua Palace.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were rolling, and he looked interested.

In his life, he has been an emperor for sixteen years, and he has done a lot of unusual things.

Not to mention the general, especially different, there is an edict of guilt, and it is not once or twice.

How many emperors can do this kind of thing? However, he did it in desperation.

After meeting Zhang Mingwei, he knew that he would be the king of the dead country and that his whole family was going to die, so he had no scruples.

Zhang Mingwei casually made some contributions, and then directly sealed it out of the country? Who can have him crazy?

There is also a prince sent to the south, and taxes north of the Yangtze River are not collected from the treasury, and the vassal king wants to seal another overseas ......

All of this, in the past, was appalling.

But Emperor Chongzhen did it, what was the result? There is no need to be the king of the fallen country, and the signs of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty are very obvious!

Therefore, he felt that all the people in this Wenhua Hall had become Mr. and students, and this thing seemed to be very interesting!

Of course, the reason why this is so is because he knows that Zhang Mingwei comes from later generations, and Zhang Mingwei's knowledge is a priceless treasure that can bring Daming to a world like a documentary!

With this foundation, he is absolutely supportive of Xinxue.

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking so, but Zhang Mingwei didn't let such a crazy thing happen, it was too high-profile!

I heard him smile and say to Du Yinxi: "I mean, you will advocate this matter, and even pay for it, set up a research institute, and I promise to build a steam engine." So when this history is recorded in the history books, you will all go up! ”

Hearing this, Du Yinxi and the others, looking at each other, are all thinking about Xingguogong's suggestion?

However, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't wait, seeing that they didn't speak for a while, he immediately said to Zhang Mingwei: "Don't be so troublesome, I have decreed the establishment of the Ming Royal Research Institute, allocate land and money to Mr., and ask for people, all parts of the country are selected by Mr." How is it? ”

......When the others heard this, they were dumbfounded, and after hesitating for a while, the emperor opened this mouth, so how could they fight with the emperor?

This emperor is really fierce!

Du Yinxi sighed in his heart, and suddenly had an idea, and immediately said to Zhang Mingwei: "Isn't Guogong going to teach new learning and start a sect?" Then the lower official dog is usually interested in studying under Guogong, is it okay? ”

Zuo Mao heard it for the first time, yes, this is also okay, I can't rub Xingguo Gong, but don't I have a son!

So, he also hurriedly said: "Xiaguan Dog is also willing to learn from Guogong, can you?" ”

When the others heard this, they were naturally not to be left behind, and they followed suit.

Xingguo Gong's ability is obvious to all, and Emperor Chongzhen strongly supports and fully trusts him, and Xingguo Gong himself is also confident, and he will use new learning to change the Ming Dynasty, or that kind of epoch-making change.

Even if you don't have these, with Xingguogong's current status, sending his son over is also a way to connect with feelings, why not!

Seeing them express their stance there, Wang Chengen, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant supervisor, was a little dumbfounded: he also wanted to, but he didn't!

He didn't even think about those godsons or anything.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he also shouted: "Our son also studied under Guogong, can you?" ”

As soon as they heard this, including Emperor Chongzhen, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him, all of them were puzzled?

Seeing this, he hurriedly explained: "Our family must choose the smartest son and nephew to succeed him, and the custodian is satisfied!" ”

Well, even the eunuchs were moved by such thoughts.

Zhang Mingwei thought so in his heart, so he did not refuse, and immediately said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, this is good!" On the side of the imperial court, the Ming Royal Research Institute was established. The venue and funds are all allocated by Ouchi or the imperial treasury. I also set up the Daming Jingshi Academy to teach new learning. Choose the best of them to enter the Ming Royal Research Institute to develop a steam engine! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very interested, so he hurriedly asked, "Sir, what should this Ming Royal Research Institute do?" Is it just a steam engine? After it is built, who will make this profit? ”

Zhang Mingwei already had a case in his abdomen, so he told Emperor Chongzhen about it.

Good guy, the discussion in this Wenhua Palace, talking and talking, the topic is biased!

However, these people in the hall didn't pay attention to these details at all, they were all listening, and even interjected from time to time.

Later, a plan slowly took shape.

It is on the basis of Zhang Mingwei's proposal that the people in this Ming Royal Research Institute should be given officials and grades. The research results can be produced and sold by a trading company under the Daming Royal Research Institute. The profits are attributed to the national treasury and Ouchi, and a part of the profits is to be used to reward the researchers of the Daming Royal Academy.

Of course, for the sake of fairness, it is not only the outstanding students of the Daming Jingshi Academy that Zhang Mingwei wants to establish that can enter the Daming Royal Academy. Other academies or whatever, you can do it, provided that you have the ability to enter!

This plan was basically conceived by Zhang Mingwei and supplemented by these people present.
