The next day, the morning pilgrimage.

Chongzhen, who didn't sleep all night last night, couldn't see any tiredness on his face, and sat on the dragon chair full of energy, accepting the worship of hundreds of officials.

The golden dragon chair sits on a golden pedestal, and a pair of bronze enamel elephants are placed in front of it, implying a bumper harvest and a peaceful and prosperous era.

Sun Yuanhua, who was standing on the bricks of Linqing Gong, discussed a charter with his teacher before the last dynasty, and walked out of the court class with a jade wat in his hand: "Your Majesty, Zhu Shun, a genius of Wang Gongchang, invented a rifled gun. ”

"The power of this rifled gun is far more powerful than an ordinary bird gun, for the Ming Dynasty, it is a national weapon, in order to commend this genius, the minister suggested that he be rewarded."

Chongzhen said expressionlessly: "Named him the deputy envoy of the Ordnance Bureau, what do you think Aiqing." ”

Of the six Shangshu of the imperial court, only the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is not a member of the Donglin Party, and the remaining five Shangshu are all the backbone of the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party can be said to control most of the imperial court.

Since the beginning of this year, Chongzhen began to deliberately support Xu Guangqi and other Western French people, and the Donglin Party, which felt threatened, vigorously opposed the promotion of Western French Party members every time.

Regarding this matter, the Donglin Party has already received news from a eunuch in the palace in advance, and has already discussed countermeasures.

The five Shangshu are already extremely human ministers, and of course they can't take the initiative to speak about this matter, so they need a gun.

In the past, it was usually the Shilang who took the initiative to stand up and raise objections, but today the Donglin Party has found a better gun in order to deter the West French Party.

A person who Xu Guangqi and others couldn't think of stood up from the court.

Jin Zhijun, the fine food division of the Ministry of Rites, asked loudly: "Dare to ask Sun Langzhong, what is the identity of this Zhu Shun, but he has a meritorious reputation." ”

Jin Zhijun can be said to be the second-in-command of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Guangqi, who pulled it up with one hand, he never thought that Jin Zhijun would take the initiative to join the Donglin Party.

And the identity problem he said was also Zhu Shun's biggest flaw, Sun Yuanhua didn't dare to make it up, so he could only tell the truth: "Zhu Shun is a caster in Wang Gong's factory." ”

After saying this, the court was in an uproar.

A small caster is not to mention fame, and he has not even left the country, so he jumped over the level of a junior official and was directly promoted to the deputy envoy of the Ordnance Bureau.

Even if the deputy envoy of the Ordnance Bureau is only from the ninth grade, this is an official official of the imperial court, which is equivalent to directly crossing the two chasms.

Naturalization and promotion.

Chongzhen had already seen the power of the rifled gun last night, and knew that the rifled gun was a good thing to change an era, and he couldn't wait to promote Zhu Shun to Lang Zhong who was in charge of the first division.

Now it's just a small deputy envoy from the Jiupin Ordnance Bureau, and the officials below have begun to oppose it again, so the anger will not come anywhere.

The Donglin Party didn't care whether Chongzhen was angry or not, seeing that Sun Yuanhua had really fallen into the trap buried in advance, the fire was almost over, and at this time, a person with weight in the court was needed to stand up and speak.

The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites immediately walked out of the court: "The emperor must not do this matter. ”

"Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, because of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the emperor who caused the flowing water of the iron family gate valve, and later it was precisely because of the emergence of the imperial examination system that the family gate valve was eliminated and the real centralization of power was realized."

"This craftsman named Zhu Shun was promoted to an official official of the imperial court without any meritorious service, destroying the imperial examination system."

"The emperor must not open this opening, once the opening is opened, it will not be able to be contained, which is equivalent to digging the foundation of the Ming Dynasty."

Chongzhen almost fainted when he heard this, isn't it just to promote a talent to be a nine-grade official, how did he rise to the height of digging the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, it is too alarmist.

Xu Guangqi knew that it was time for him to stand up, and walked out of the court and said: "At an extraordinary time, when doing extraordinary things, the exceptional promotion of Zhu Shun shows Daming's determination to recruit talents." ”

"Weichen thinks that this will not only not endanger the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but will also help the Ming Dynasty absorb more talents."

"However, since the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty do not agree to be promoted to the deputy envoy of the Ordnance Bureau, it is better to be promoted to Wang Gongchang to be in charge of the factory."

When the Donglin Party heard that Wang Gongchang was in charge of the factory, they instantly understood that they liked to dig pits, and this was a trap dug by Xu Guangqi in advance.

The deputy envoy of the Ordnance Bureau sounds good, but he does not have any real power, how can Wang Gongchang, who directly controls all kinds of firearms craftsmen, have great real power.

The words have already been said to this part, if you oppose it again, it is clear that you are against the emperor.

Just when several bigwigs of the Donglin Party were thinking about countermeasures, Jin Zhijun walked out again: "The matter of the country's heavy weapon is just Sun Yuanhua's one-sided words, who knows if it's true." ”

"It's better to have a competition, as long as this so-called rifled gun can win the bird, let him be a Wang Gong factory in charge."

Gao, if it weren't for the court here, the Donglin Party would have praised Jin Zhijun's ingenuity.

There happened to be an official in the Donglin Party who was obsessed with hunting, and he practiced a good marksmanship, and he could completely achieve eight shots out of ten shots by using a bird gun whose hit rate only depends on luck.

With his good marksmanship, this craftsman called Zhu Shun is absolutely hopeless.

Chongzhen looked at the overjoyed officials below and almost burst out laughing, but in order to maintain the majesty of the king, he couldn't help but laugh.

Chongzhen sighed, pretended to be embarrassed, and reluctantly agreed: "Just do what Jin Aiqing wants." ”

After discussing this matter, the Donglin Party had no heart to continue to go to court, and the Donglin Party had long seen that these so-called West French Party members were not pleasing to the eye, and they couldn't wait to see the feeling of them being trampled underfoot.

Chongzhen also didn't have the heart to go to court, he was even more eager to see the black face expression of the Donglin Party that could not step on people, but was stepped on.

The meeting soon dispersed.

A sedan chair walked out of the capital and came to the stone bridge in Huangcun.

When Zhu Shun got up the next day, he took a charcoal pen and drew drawings on the wooden board, preparing to build Jenny's spinning machine.

The efficiency of this thing is 80 times that of an ordinary spinning machine, which means that the yarn spun by a Jenny spinning machine in a day is equivalent to the yarn spun by 80 ordinary spinning machines.

Simply a money printing machine, it is no wonder that the Jenny spinning machine was the beginning of the first industrial revolution.

With such a high-efficiency Jenny machine, you can increase the speed of making money, as long as you have money, there will be a second and third Jenny spinning machine, forming a virtuous circle.

Zhu Shun's first goal was to open a modern spinning factory to improve his family's life.

The structure of the hand-cranked Jenny spinning machine is not very complicated, Zhu Shun has already drawn a rough frame, and is now calculating the size and clearance of small parts such as vertical spindles, rollers, and transmission belts.
