Because the Tibetan issue is sensitive, a few chapters are blocked, skip!

On the sixteenth day of the first month, the Fifth Army entered Tibet so far, from deterrence to the use of force, the aristocratic landlords were destroyed, the serfs were abolished, and the policies of the Ming Dynasty were carried out in Tibetan areas.

On 20 March, Zhu Ci set up a school in Tibetan areas to implement compulsory education, and although the Tibetans resisted it, there was no turmoil in the end, believing that with the passage of time, compulsory education would be universally accepted and would greatly promote ethnic integration.

March 26, Academy of Science and Technology.

"Woo woo woo"

"Boom Boom"

Science and Technology Institute, with the sound of a steam whistle, the huge locomotive moved, slowly moving along the laid circular rails, the speed is getting faster and faster, and the steam locomotive has been successfully developed.

Firecrackers rang out in unison, gongs and drums were noisy, announcing that this was a great joy.

It is indeed a great joy, no, it is a big event that can change the world.

The successful development of the steam locomotive heralds the arrival of the era of trains and railways, which will increase civil and commercial capacity tenfold or hundredfold.

Daming is a north and south more than 10,000 miles of behemoths, the future will be even greater, if there is no railway, relying on cattle and horses alone, Daming can not even effectively control all the territory, but with the railway is different, Nanjing city to the southernmost point of Annam only takes two days, to Beijing city or the Mongolian steppe only one day, it can be said that only with the railway, the Ming Dynasty's continuous expansion strategy to the outside world can be supported, in order to firmly control all the frontiers.

"Hahahaha! The Institute of Science and Technology has made great achievements and must be rewarded! Zhu Ci laughed, extremely excited.

"Decree, Song Yingxing, the director of the Science and Technology Institute, is the Marquis of Kebo, hereditary!" Song Yingxing is the director of the Academy of Science and Technology, and has led the development of a large number of technologies for Daming, and his contribution to steam engines is also the highest.

Song Yingxing is familiar with hundreds of types of engineering, and perhaps he is not as good as the top craftsmen in that field in each subject, but he can control the overall situation and make suggestions.

The steam locomotive is not a one-sided technology, but a multi-faceted technology, and many of Song Yingxing's suggestions play a key role.

"Feng Zhong Pingji is Gao Tengbo!"

"Feng Cui Qi is Feng Yibo!"

"Sealed"

Zhu Ci staggered and sealed a hereditary marquis, two earls, five viscounts, and four barons, a total of twelve titles.

The entire institute of science and technology shook.

"Your Majesty, no, the minister Song Yingxing deserves it!" Song Yingxing suddenly knelt on the ground and refused Zhu Ci's canonization.

Marquis, the most important thing is the word hereditary, which is even higher than an ordinary duke, if it is just an ordinary marquis, although Song Yingxing also feels ashamed, he will not stand up so urgently and refuse in front of so many people. He Song Yingxing is just a small director of the Academy of Science and Technology, how can he afford such a noble title as a hereditary marquis, you must know that the emperor has only been awarded one hereditary title since he ascended the throne, he is the second, so many leading generals of various armies with outstanding military achievements do not have such an honor, how can he be virtuous.

"No, no, Aiqing deserves it, since the establishment of the Academy of Science and Technology, Aiqing has taken the lead in developing how many advanced technologies for Daming, which has changed Daming from all aspects, Aiqing's merits are higher than anyone else, especially from the research and development of steam engines to current steam locomotives, Aiqing is familiar with engineering, should know what this means to Daming, what kind of changes this will bring to Daming, so I say Aiqing deserves it!" Zhu Ci smirked.

In fact, not to mention the hereditary marquis, even the Duke Zhu Cicheng felt that Song Yingxing deserved it.

Song Yingxing was extremely moved.

"Your Majesty, Song Yingxing's lifelong wish is to carry forward the science and technology of the Ming Dynasty, it is the emperor who believes in me and entrusts him with the important task of being the director of the Academy of Science and Technology, which is already a great gift, all of Song Yingxing's contributions are due obligations, how to make great contributions, if the emperor insists on sealing, please also take back the word hereditary!" Song Yingxing said very firmly.

Zhu Ci staggered and stopped: "Aiqing is serious, the reason why I let Aiqing be the director of the Academy of Science and Technology is not a gift, it is that Aiqing has this ability, this is all determined by Aiqing's ability, those who have merit are rewarded, those who have faults are punished, how much contribution Aiqing has, how much reward I give, this is all Aiqing deserves, is it possible that Aiqing still suspects that I am confused?" ”

Song Yingxing is firm, Zhu Ciji is even more resolute, Song Yingxing's contribution is historic, he believes that Song Yingxing deserves the position of hereditary marquis, and Song Yingxing deserves it.

"This" Song Yingxing was speechless, and then a touch of perseverance appeared on the old face, the emperor said so, how could he refuse, the so-called soldier dies for his confidant, the emperor treats him so well, he will devote the second half of his life to leading the research and development of more science and technology, and live up to the emperor's expectations.

"Thank Emperor Longen!" Song Yingxing thanked him.

"Thank you, Emperor Longen! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! The other craftsmen who had been knighted also thanked them together, and they were all red with excitement.

is not only a reward for the title, but also a large number of bounties, which can be stained by the whole Academy of Science and Technology.

At the same time, the Academy of Science and Technology was shaken, the title, this is something they couldn't think of before, Shinong Industry and Commerce, the industry and the industry ranked second-to-last, although the Ming Dynasty had already canceled such a ranking in the law, but the craftsmen of the Academy of Science and Technology have not lived for decades, listened to it for decades, and accepted such a ranking for decades, psychologically they still feel weak.

The bounty of the Academy of Science and Technology is extremely rich, originally many craftsmen are for the bounty, and now the emperor tells them with practical actions that as long as the contribution is large enough, they can also get a knighthood, or even a hereditary title, which is a huge incentive for the Academy of Science and Technology, and the Academy of Science and Technology is once again full of enthusiasm for desperate research and development, and I believe that in the future, more science and technology will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

"Brother Huang, you have sealed them all, what about mine!" Chen Xiuxiu pouted her nose and stared at Zhu Ci with a dissatisfied expression.

"You? You are all my royal sister, and you are the lord of Xiumin, or I will directly make you a princess! Zhu Ci said with a smile unconsciously a little doting.

"Don't, who's rare!" Chen Xiuxiu glanced at Zhu Ci and walked away.

Princess? Of course she is not uncommon, it sounds like Zhu Cijiao's daughter or sister or something, she doesn't want to be his sister.

Another few years have passed, and the fourteen-year-old girl is now twenty-two years old, long past the age of a girl, but I don't know why, she still hasn't married, and even Zhu Cizhen once proposed to choose a county horse for her, but she refused without hesitation.

Zhu Ci is not a fool, and he can't see Chen Xiuxiu's thoughts.

Looking at the girl's back, Zhu Ci fell silent, maybe it was time to find a time to give Chen Xiuxiu an explanation.

After the development of the steam locomotive, the next step was to start building the railway.
