Chapter 294: It's not as good as a mule
In Emperor Chongzhen's impression, he hadn't been to the Royal Academy for a whileโalthough it had been less than three months since the last time he came to the Royal Academy.
Due to the earlier time of the upper dynasty, the time of the scattered dynasty was naturally earlier, so Emperor Chongzhen chose to find a random restaurant outside the palace to eat.
Of course, this restaurant is also secretly controlled by Jinyiwei, but it doesn't show anything special on the surface.
Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua were at the same table, and the other Jinyi guards and Neichang Fanzi were scattered on the tables around them, ensuring that as long as there was a situation, everyone could gather around Emperor Chongzhen in time to block all dangers for him.
Two stir-fried dishes plus two stews and a bowl of rice, this is Emperor Chongzhen's lunch.
It's just a pity that Emperor Chongzhen can't say that the time is too early or just right, and the newspaper reading that he likes to see can't catch up, so he can only listen to the chatter of the people who are eating nearby.
Thanks to the rules set by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen's repeated emphasis after he ascended the throne, the people don't care about the affairs of the court - except for scolding Emperor Chongzhen for being braindead and the harem, the rest are discussed casually.
Since ancient times, it was thought that the common people of China have been happy to discuss political affairs, otherwise how could there be so many keyboards to govern the country and open up the territory in the future?
If that's all it takes, forget it, the point is that there are always some keyboard candidates who can raise fish in their heads, and zombies are disappointed in their brain capacity - they are used to kneeling and licking every day, and they can't straighten their waists!
This kind of person, maybe only the shell lang is very interested in what is in their heads.
As for the hobby of discussing state affairs, other places can be chosen at will, and probably no place can play more smoothly than the people in the capital.
It's like a taxi driver in later generations, not to mention other places, as long as it's from the capital, you mention national events and Sino-US relations or something, and you can get from the place of departure to the destination, and you don't have to do anything else.
Don't care what you have, what is true or fake, in short, it can give you a stunned look, so that you feel that only people don't govern the country, it's a pity that it's a talent, and by the way, I will sigh a little bit about the masters in the people.
This is probably the advantage of being at the feet of the Son of Heaven and being more well-informed.
The same is true of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
In particular, Emperor Chongzhen was still shameless, while secretly sending people to spread how he was diligent in government and loving the people in the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, he publicized a lot of how he led troops to recruit in person, and killed foreigners.
In this way, the people of the Ming Jingshi will be even happier.
Don't you see, why did Liu Che, the emperor of filial piety of the Han Dynasty, be praised for thousands of years?
It's not because this guy crippled the Huns, he sent a large army to conquer thousands of miles for the sake of two horses - the deep genes of the Han people are just like this.
The genes that have been planted since the time of Yanhuang will not change no matter what, even if they are only hidden deeply.
As for saying that Liu Che couldn't govern the country later, he made the Han Dynasty a bit boring, but after the next Luntai was guilty of his own edict, the people of the Han Dynasty chose to forgive him.
Furthermore, most people know the term Wenjing Zhizhi, but how many people know the merits and life of Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaojing?
None of these two first-class emperors can be more famous than Emperor Xiaowu's expedition to the Xiongnu and the Western Regions.
It can be seen that the genes of the Han people who are good at conquest cannot be erased.
Emperor Chongzhen thinks it's good to be like this, he doesn't have any strength to fight by himself, look at the Han Dynasty, even if he has to sing Liangliang, he still beats foreigners, this is the real.
There is another saying in China that has been passed down for thousands of years.
If something is good, it will be effective.
Or that the king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace.
With such a leader as Emperor Chongzhen, the cultivation hall of the Ming Dynasty began to think about getting more land again.
There were five or six big men sitting around a table not far from Emperor Chongzhen, all of whom looked like people with big shoulders and round waists, not like ordinary people. A little farther away, there was also a brocade guard dressed in a flying fish suit.
The people in the entire restaurant didn't take the people of Jinyi Wei seriously - as long as they didn't scold the emperor, they didn't care about what the people talked about, even if they scolded the head of the court, they just had fun.
The leader at the table next to him took a sip of his wine glass and said, "I estimate that the new army should start recruiting soon, and our brothers can't keep killing pigs, so we have to try." โ
A man next to him smiled and said, "Second Brother Zhao, your thoughts are still resting." So the new army is so easy to enter? I heard that it is not only necessary to be in good health, but also to be able to read and write.
It is said that he also sent a daughter-in-law. Of course, I've heard this too, and I don't know if it's true or not. โ
Zhao Er sneered and said: "You know a fart, that is, after entering the New Army, a gentleman taught you to read and write, not asking you to read and write at the beginning." As for the daughter-in-law, you can dream about it. โ
After speaking, he scratched his head and said: "I don't know those twists and turns, let me really learn them, can I learn them?" โ
Another man looked at Zhao Er scratching his head, and said with a smile: "This is not easy to say, what if you are Wenqu Xingjun?" โ
Zhao Er was also amused, and said with a smile: "You guys just fucking arrange me, there is Wenqu Xingjun who kills pigs for a living?" โ
After laughing, Zhao Er said with some concern: "Don't say it, this new army is really not so easy to enter, except for the innocent good family, but anyone who has a little dirt is not wanted."
Our brothers are innocent, but they want fewer people. โ
Just now, the man who said that Zhao Er was Wenqu Xingjun also said with a worried face: "If you want me to say, His Majesty the Emperor is still confused about this matter, isn't it just to recruit more people?" โ
As the so-called disaster came from the mouth, the captain of the Jinyi Guard, who was not far from them, happened to hear this person's words, and immediately sneered, and after passing over, he picked up the embroidered spring knife and smashed it on his head and face.
The man who was smashed didn't resist, but just held his head with his hands and shouted, "Master Jun! Commander! The villain drank too much urine, and the villain should be damned! It must be a traitor in the court who bewitches Your Majesty! โ
The captain of the brocade guard fought for a long time, looking at the other people who wanted to pull but didn't dare to move, and sneered: "Pay attention to the fuck next time."
One by one, the two or two horses pee on their stomachs, and they don't know the southeast and northwest?
If it weren't for the kindness of the Son of Heaven, Lao Tzu would have put you in prison and entertained you well. โ
Several people said yes in unison, and when they saw that the captain of the Jinyi guard did not move seriously, they took the opportunity to help the beaten man aside.
The captain of the brocade guard snorted coldly and sat back down.
The brothers in the group were beaten, and they had no interest in drinking anymore, so they immediately called Xiao Er to come over and leave.
Emperor Chongzhen also smiled.
These guys drank a little wine and kept their mouths open, and this beating was not unjustโif they had been a scholar, they would have been in prison by this time.
However, for the fact that there are people who want to join the new army as soldiers, Emperor Chongzhen said that he is still very happy.
The more people who are soldiers, it means that there are more horses in their own halls, and the more horses they have, the more they can grab the territory, and the more land they have, the more protection fees they will collect, which is a virtuous circle.
Of course, it would be better if these bastards didn't scold themselves for being stupid.
For example, the people at the other tables are obviously a few people who have some spare money, and they are praising Emperor Chongzhen for his wisdom at this time.
For example, chasing Yao Shun on the top, and Taizong of the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty below, in short, Emperor Chongzhen is a wise and martial artist, and Lin Dan Khan, who beat him, can still come back to compensate for the same stupid lack - this gang came from Xuanfu.
Many people on the Xuanfu side were unlucky when Lin Dan Khan invaded last time, but after Emperor Chongzhen conquered Lin Dan Khan in the north, he issued compensation to them - what was returned from Lin Dan Khan, Emperor Chongzhen himself did not keep it, and gave it all to the people.
A small episode did not affect Emperor Chongzhen's interest in eating at all, but made him eat more than usual.
After arriving at the Royal Academy, Emperor Chongzhen was stunned by the stupid black guy in front of him.
He told Xu Guangqi that the 7,000 Western Books were already on the way to be transported, and Lao Xu was very happy.
But this thing that Lao Xu let himself see, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't be happy anyway.
It's not what I imagined.
In the impression of Emperor Chongzhen, the front of the old-fashioned steam locomotive was like a downturned cylinder, with an upright chimney on the top, followed by a cockpit, and the front of the cockpit was a combustion chamber.
Below the head is followed by wheels, thieves, and a bunch of various connecting rods, followed by a carriage of cars, which either pulls goods or pulls people.
But what the hell is this big guy in front of you?
The part in front that should be the structure of the steam engine is not like what Emperor Chongzhen has seen, but is divided into two layers.
The lower layer is obviously a steam engine, and the upper layer is obviously a coal bunker.
This is not scientific, such a whole thing, how to pass through a tunnel or something when the time comes? Do you still have to dig the tunnel high?
But it doesn't matter.
Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care, anyway, as long as it can be used well, as for what Xu Guangqi makes this kind of car look like, just be happy with Lao Xu.
But when the steam locomotive really started, Emperor Chongzhen found that he still looked up to this stupid big black guy.
Not far from the Royal Academy, there are two long tracks, on which sits this stupid black and thick locomotive.
When he received Emperor Chongzhen's signal, the front of the car started to move, and Emperor Chongzhen slowly followed the front of the car not far away.
From the front of the train to the stop, the speed of this so-called train did not exceed that of Emperor Chongzhen!
If I had to say that there was any advantage, it was probably that this thing would not get tired, and as long as there was enough coal and water, it could keep running.
But for now, it's just a matter of putting on a show.
Even the speed of this kind of empty head running has not been able to exceed the speed of Emperor Chongzhen's walking, once it is hung on the carriage to transport people or goods, the speed is ......
The picture is too beautiful, Emperor Chongzhen didn't dare to think about it.
After pondering for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen said to Xu Guangqi who was standing aside: "Xu Aiqing, can the speed of this car be increased a little more?" โ
Xu Guangqi bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the speed of this locomotive is like this at present, after all, the efficiency of the steam engine is indeed not high at present.
But Wechen is also discussing with other colleagues how to increase the speed of the front of the car. โ
Chongzhen snorted and continued, "Take your time, as long as you can reach a speed similar to that of a galloping horse." โ
Xu Guangqi smiled bitterly when he heard this, so he had to bow down.
The speed of the galloping horse, let this bulky big guy reach that speed, and I don't know if I can reach it when I am alive.
But Xu Guangqi also understood that Emperor Chongzhen required not only that the front of the car could reach the speed of the galloping horse, but that he could reach the speed of the galloping horse while pulling the carriage under the load.
But now, let alone a war horse, it is not much faster than a mule, and perhaps not as good as a donkey.
The more he thought about it, the more headache Xu Guangqi sighed: "It would be nice if the heirs of the Mo family were still there." โ
Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "What Mo family is not Mo family, Xu Aiqing is much stronger than the legendary Mo family." At the very least, the Mo family couldn't build this steam engine. โ
Xu Guangqi bowed and said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the minister felt it for a while. โ
Emperor Chongzhen knew what Lao Xu had sins.
As Emperor Chongzhen, who has read the famous history textbook "I Want to Be an Emperor", he probably knows some things about the Mo family.
After Mozi cooled down, the Mo family split into three factions.
The first faction is the school that inherited Mozi's martial arts, paying attention to life and death, martyrdom and righteousness, attaching importance to the concept of death for those who are confidants, and the wind of generosity to death is even greater than in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Han Feizi's "Confucianism messes with the law, and chivalry violates the ban with martial arts" refers to these chivalrous men of the Mo family.
When it came to the old Liu family, the famous rangers were formed by those fans who admired the Mo family's light life and death.
The second school is the debate school that inherited Mozi's thought.
In order to adhere to Mozi's materialist views on the existence of objects and human feelings, the structure and attributes of objects, the infinity and finitude of the universe, the movement and space-time of objects, etc., which are based on experience, the polemic school and the two famous scholars of Gongsun Long and Hui Shi launched fierce debates around specific propositions such as the separation of the solid white stone, the same and the different, the infinite and the infinite, the fire is not hot, the eyes are not visible, the shadow of the bird, the white horse is not the horse, the hammer of the foot, and the object is not the finger.
Moreover, this group of people not only engaged in philosophical and advanced cosmic research, but also traveled around the world, teaching the Mohist idea of love and love, they opposed the use of violence to solve problems, even including uprisings, and hoped to achieve peace in a gentle way, and they were also the most fantastical in their thinking.
The third group is the third group that plays with technology.
The third faction feels that the first two factions are, and they are either playing with their lives or talking about their mouths day by day, and this faction pays attention to scientific and technological research and is very pragmatic.
