Jiang Tian's explanation of science is actually incomprehensible to many people in another time and space, and many people regard science as a kind of esoteric and difficult knowledge. In fact, fundamentally speaking, it is just a way to find the laws of everything in the world, although there are many smart people in history through their own wisdom to quickly improve the process of summarizing, but in essence it is still a stupid method to rely on a large amount of data to verify.

The reason why ancient China failed to develop science was actually because it failed to summarize the efforts of countless people over thousands of years. And the examination questions of the national scholar are limited to the content of social sciences, and if you want to be an official, you must study literature, so who will take the trouble to summarize those idle books in science? In fact, it is not nothing, relying on the large population and good economy in ancient China, there are always some "fools" who keep popping up. For example, Xu Guangqi, who is dead, and Song Yingxing, who is still alive now.

Whenever they think of the various research institutions in later generations, Zhang Tao and Jiang Tian sigh with emotion: "I used to think that these departments were a group of idlers who didn't do their jobs and ate together, but now I know how important they are." ”

After all, the three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, and most of these people can't study anything shocking in their lives, and in the eyes of others, they may just live a mediocre life. But on the path of science, their efforts are not worthless, and after constant trial and error and starting over, they will eventually find their way to the truth.

But in this era, the two of them are simply goldfingers against the sky. Zhang Tao didn't care about this, he couldn't wait to pour out everything he knew, but many people couldn't understand what he was saying. Jiang Tian doesn't think so, what he is most worried about is pulling out the seedlings to help them grow, but it will ruin the scientific research atmosphere of this era, so whether it is a scientific journal or basic education, he advocates free play.

This is also one of the biggest differences between Zhang Tao and Jiang Tian, fortunately, in addition to the military industry, the current scientific research direction is a practical technology that can be transformed into productivity in a short time, so that the two people do not have a fundamental contradiction because of different concepts, but Jiang Tian knows that this is only a matter of time.

For example, this deep-sea fishing, because it can produce immediate economic benefits, not only is there no opposition in the court, but many businessmen and shareholders of shipyards like King Ji are waiting to buy research results.

The people involved in the research are naturally happy, who doesn't want to intervene in such a fame and fortune thing, if it weren't for the fact that the person who set up the project was Jiang Tian, it is estimated that some people would have wanted to jump out and pick fruits, but even so, those sailors who went to sea were still sought after by people from all walks of life.

Jiang Tian doesn't care that someone digs up the foot of the wall, and even someone secretly sells the research results for his own selfishness, he doesn't care very much, it was originally to be made public for the benefit of the common people, leak the secret, if it can promote the development of the distant-water fishing industry, it is a good thing in terms of results.

"What the gentleman said is very ...... However, in this way, I am afraid that no one will do such thankless basic research in the future. ”

Jiang Tian smiled: "In addition to us eating this fresh fish, I also ordered someone to send it to the capital as soon as possible, so that Your Majesty can taste it." In addition, there are some dried or pickled fish in my house, do you want to go with me and taste it again? Your wife who has never been through the door is a master cook. ”

Seeing Jiang Tian talking about him left and right, these people knew that things were not so simple, but what surprised them even more was that when the title of Meng Daya was mentioned, it seemed that Mr. Jiang had accepted this wife in his heart.

After everyone had lunch, they all boarded Jiang Tian's carriage and prepared to taste the craftsmanship of the future master at dinner. For Zhang Huan, in fact, the appetite is secondary, he simply likes to follow Jiang Tian's side, just like the star chasers in later generations.

When the carriage was about to enter the back door of Jiang Mansion, an idler who was squatting on the side of the road with his hands in his sleeves and seemed to have nothing to do glanced at Jiang Tian's carriage, and suddenly stood up and walked quickly towards the carriage. The coachman, who had been leaning lazily on the car, instantly became energetic, and his eyes shot out like a cold light, and the person who strode over saw this look, and his body was obviously stagnant.

In a few breaths, on the originally clean street, more than a dozen secret guards suddenly appeared to surround the carriage and horses, and when the coachman was about to drive away from this place of right and wrong, Jiang Tian in the car spoke: "Don't be nervous, I know this person!" Let him come into the house and wait for me. ”

When he returned to the living room, seeing that the prince and the others had no intention of avoiding it, Jiang Tian had no choice but to ask, "Are you all so curious?" ”

Several people nodded in unison, in their impression, Jiang Tian was not a person who could have anything to do with the peddler's pawn at all, even if he was running in the teahouse at the beginning, he also had a sense of chic.

Jiang Tian knew that if the curiosity of these curious babies was not satisfied, it would be impossible to let him go, so he could only shake his head and say outside: "Let him in." ”

When this person walked in the door and saw that Jiang Tian was not the only one in the room, he was stunned for a moment, but then returned to normal, and stepped forward to salute with fists: "The grass people have seen adults." ”

Seeing that this person is neither humble nor arrogant, he has the feeling of Jiang Tian back then, but his image and temperament are diametrically opposed, this is obviously a person who practices martial arts, and his skills should be good, at least it makes Wu Yuan and Liu Baokai feel a taste of danger.

After saluting, the man stood below and said no more, as if it was not him who had just collided with the car, but an ordinary family member who had been summoned to wait for orders, because he would not have taken the initiative to speak because of the presence of outsiders.

"These sons are all my students, you can say anything you have to say, don't shy away from it." After speaking, he shouted out the door: "Look at the tea." ”

The man in a coarse linen robe nodded, and then knelt down and kowtowed unhurriedly: "The grass people meet His Royal Highness the Prince......

A few people who were already very curious were even more strange now, it was not uncommon to be able to guess the identity of the prince, but it was extremely rare to know that the prince was neither humble nor arrogant here, especially a small person in cloth.

Jiang Tian didn't beat around the bush, and said very casually: "You just get up and talk, I don't have outsiders here, just tell me what I found this time?" ”

"Yes." I saw that this person also stood up without twisting, and even pulled the hem of his clothes: "The brothers of the grass people have investigated a lot of things in the past month, but there are three very suspicious points. ”

Seeing him pause, Jiang Tian motioned for him to continue.

"First, due to the shortage of labor and wages, the number of displaced people entering Tianjin Wei has increased day by day, but there is a group of people who seem to have dragged their families to make a living, but they can't find out where the young people in the family are working, and the children and the elderly at home are also living in a simple place and rarely show up. According to people who live nearby, these people speak Shandong accents, their food is not rough, and they seem to be scattered in shacks by the river, but they all have gentle slopes next to the river. ”

Jiang Tian, who was originally unimpressed when he heard this, couldn't help frowning: "Are these people all Shandong accents?" ”

"Most of them are, but they are also mixed with the accents of Beizhili and Northern Jiangsu, and the reason why the grass people think they are a group of people is because they have a few stones piled up in front of their houses."

"What's wrong with a few stones?" It was Liu Baokai who asked the question

"What if all these stones are carved with lotus flowers?"

As soon as these words came out, except for Zhang Huan, everyone's eyes were tight, and when they talked about the lotus, they reminded people of the White Lotus Sect, and when they talked about the White Lotus Sect, they reminded people of the immortal Xiaoqiang who had been tossing for more than a thousand years and made a living by rebellion.

Speaking of this rebel professional household, at first it can be said that it is reasonable to ask for the people to rebel, but later it developed in the direction of rebellion and rebellion, and it is really a repeated defeat and repeated defeat, from the Tang and Song dynasties to the Republic of China, although the names of these people have changed, such as: Boxer Rebellion, Big Knife Society, Small Knife Society, Red Lantern Zhao, *** and other well-known organizations, more or less related to it, some are even the trumpets opened by the White Lotus Sect. But these guys don't know how to be flexible, and they always try to get things done by the mysticism of religion, but they get nowhere.

Whenever there is an era of prosperity and prosperity in history, they will lie dormant, and once the gap between the rich and the poor in society widens, they will come out of a corner to stir up rebellion. They say that they want to relieve the people from hanging, but in fact, the real purpose is to seize social wealth and power, which is also the reason why the White Lotus Sect has the largest number of rebellions in the world for thousands of years, but none of them have succeeded.

In short, because the White Lotus Sect is too famous, and at the same time, it can be targeted by these guys, and it must have weaknesses in its own structure that can be exploited, so when they heard that it was related to the White Lotus Sect, everyone suddenly became nervous. If it is really the White Lotus Sect, it will not only affect the gains and losses of the city and place of Tianjin, but the entire reform may be counterattacked by others.

It was precisely because of the powerful relationship that Jiang Tian's seemingly calm face slowly frowned: "Keep an eye on them, don't act rashly until I find out their purpose." ”

The man nodded: "The proprietor of the grass people has already made arrangements, but these people have not acted out of the ordinary recently, and they have not even done the preaching and preaching that they have always done, and they seem to be in seclusion." ”

White Lotus Church seclusion? Jiang Tian didn't believe it, and no one here believed it, so they could only guess that they had other plans, but what exactly they were trying to, everyone didn't have a unified opinion for a while.

Jiang Tian knew that it was useless to guess, and more information was necessary, so he then asked: "I know about this matter, what is the second thing?" ”

"The second thing is that someone was injured on the construction site recently, and when he heard that the adult had set a work-related injury pension, he went to ask the foreman of the pipe section how to distribute it, but the result was ......, "As a result, the injured person was full of joy and went to ask for money, but was beaten by the dog's leg on the section, and the injury was more serious before the money came."

After hearing this, several gentlemen also showed expressions of righteous indignation, especially Liu Baokai, who was so strong-blooded, that he was almost about to take the case.

Jiang Tian didn't have such a big reaction, or he was already surprised by similar things: "Don't worry, I set this work-related injury regulation, and I will naturally give you an explanation, the injured will have medical expenses, and the dead or disabled will have a bereavement pension." You just need to ask the sufferer to go to the supervision department to file a complaint, and I will arrange it myself. ”

"Cao Mindai's injured brother thanked the adult...... "The person who had never knelt down to Jiang Tian kowtowed solemnly to Jiang Tian at this time.

"Hurry up, I'm not interested in this here."

"Yes." After the man stood up, he continued: "And one last thing, according to the report of the brothers in the Wuqing County section recently, it was a heavy rain the day before yesterday, and it is a pity that the cement on the construction site was damaged due to the untimely covering. The foreman involved was also punished, but some people privately rumored that this foreman had only received it on behalf of others, and the batch of cement had actually been dropped a long time ago! ”

Jiang Tian frowned and thought for a while: "Is there clear evidence for this?" ”

"Nope." The man replied simply: "It's just that at the time of the incident, the person who took care of the materials was drunk and unconscious, and he was also dismissed afterwards." But recently, someone found out that he was spending a lot of money in the casino in the county, which is really suspicious. ”

"I know ...... that batch of cement" Jiang Tian seemed to be recalling something: "It is reported that there are more than 1,000 catties of cement that cannot be used due to moisture, and the loss is really not small." ”

"Now that the adults have eyebrows, the grass people will retire." After saying that, he shook it again, and then retreated and went out.

Jiang Tian also stood up, took a few steps and stood beside him: "Next time, no matter who comes to me, don't stay outside the door, you can come in and rest and drink tea, I don't have those noble and lowly problems here." ”

The man stood still, looked at the teacup that had been brought to him on the table next to him as soon as he entered the door, and seemed to have an understanding, but in the end he just nodded and made a gesture before turning away.

After sending people away and turning back to the living room, Jiang Tian saw four pairs of curious eyes staring at him: "You are very interested in him, right?" ”

Several people nodded in unison, the longer they followed Jiang Tian, the more tacit understanding they had, especially when anything happened to Jiang Tian, they would not be surprised, and they were always thinking for the first time: This must have its reason, if you really don't understand, ask Jiang Tian.

What is this person doing, in fact, there is no need to guess at all, just ask which dynasty and which generation of feudal officials have not yet had a few secret spies, they are curious about why Jiang Tian's secret spy squatted at the back door, and he had to wait for Jiang Tian to return to the house before entering the door. And this unremarkable identity is completely exposed in front of them.

Jiang Tian didn't care about their nonsense: "There is nothing to hide, this person is not my secret agent, he is just a porter on the dock." ”

"Porter?" Several people habitually made eye contact, and finally the pervert who was the head snake spoke first: "The porter is really a good identity, not only can he see and listen to all directions, but he can also not make people suspicious." ”

Jiang Tian saw him shaking his head and looking for a reasonable explanation for himself, and he only felt a little funny: "I said it, he is just a porter, not my secret agent, but his identity as a porter is a bit special." ”

It turned out that this person was a small leader in the Cao Gang, and after Jiang Tian and the salt merchant got into a relationship, he took this opportunity to find the Cao Gang, at this time, the Cao Gang did not have as much energy as the later generations, at best it was a loose guild organization, so there was a kind of entanglement of refusing Jiang Tian's invitation.

Jiang Tian doesn't have any high requirements for them, in addition to probing the three sects and nine streams of the people, he is to pay attention to all kinds of suspicious people who have entered Tianjin Wei, these news seem to be chaotic, Jiang Tian has its own use. And the price to be paid is to recognize the legal status of the Cao Gang in the shipping market.

"The so-called legal status is not to recognize them as a gang organization, but to officially become a labor dispatch company, in order to explain what labor dispatch is, I had to work hard at the beginning."

It's not just that the Cao Gang doesn't understand what labor dispatch is, but in fact, the people in front of them don't understand either, so they can only look at Jiang Tian and blink to say that they don't understand. So Jiang Tian had to explain to these people again.

"According to what you say...... Liu Baokai thought about the wording again: "Isn't that a tooth line?" ”

Jiang Tian had an expression on his face that he knew you would say this: "The so-called Yaxing is just an intermediary, and he does not bear any responsibility for the labor party, and the labor dispatch is to support and manage these people in a real way." ”

As a company that penetrates the lowest level of society, they can not only reflect the public opinion at the grassroots level, but also know the disputes on the rivers and lakes well, Jiang Tian took a fancy to their news network in the people, and prepared to cultivate an open and legal supervision channel, in order to let the people have a trustworthy way to protect their rights, but these Jianghu people are very "smart" and think that they are Jiang Tian's spies.

In the final analysis, the common people do not believe that the officials have become the masters of the blue sky just because the world has changed an emperor. The credibility of government takes time to develop, and it will take time to reverse the way old-fashioned officials work if they can't replace them all in one fell swoop. At a time when the government has not been able to win the widespread trust of the people, all the work cannot be forcibly promoted with a single "royal law", and even if it can be carried out by relying on violent organs, the staff at the bottom and the people will go against the law.

"But this dynasty has never broken its trust with the people since its dingding?" Zhang Huan is still very confident on this issue.

"Whether we are untrustworthy or not, not only do we understand it in our hearts, but also the potential enemies understand it in our hearts, but many people who have not dealt with the government do not understand in their hearts, what are we changing the law for? It is to let the people of the world understand, and the people of the world also believe in the credibility of the government, and only then can the monarch truly say everything with the heavenly constitution. ”

Liu Baokai didn't understand a little: "Then what does this have to do with the Cao Gang?" ”

"It's related!" Jiang Tian took a sip of tea and moistened his throat: "Who do you think this world is in this world?" ”

Several of them blew up at the same time, not knowing how to answer the question. Fortunately, Jiang Tian didn't plan to let them answer: "According to Your Majesty, this world belongs to the people, and you have always thought that this is just a fool's rhetoric, right?" Just like Confucianism said that 'the world co-governs', in the end it is just Confucianism's sole rule.

In fact, I can tell you, Your Majesty is not joking when he says this, this world is the world of the people of the world, the emperor is just a public servant who serves the people, the emperor is still like this, what do you think of this Manchu Dynasty civil and military people? ”
