In the past few days, the Sixth Courtyard of the Sage is almost in a state of spring, because all the wealthy merchants in Chang'an rely on the Sixth Courtyard of the Sage, from morning to night, the model of the steam sewing machine has also been transmitted, which once again confirms that the steam engine can be used in many fields.

Of course, they will not let it go, because the appearance of Cao's hydraulic loom allows them to try the pleasure of the machine once, but the water power is limited, and affected by the weather, the prospect of the steam engine is already self-evident.

And Han Yi didn't come to the Sixth Academy of the Sage to discuss with them in the past few days, because Han Yi had been in the political hall all the time, discussing how to hand over the technology to the businessman, and how to ensure that the technology would not be leaked after being handed over to the businessman.

After all these things were agreed, and Li Zhi's approval, Han Yi went to find Zhang Daqi, saying that the imperial court would hand over the production technology of the steam engine to them, which was equivalent to telling him how to produce those precision parts, and telling him the lathe technology, but it was all given for free, not that if the technology was shared, and if the technology was shared, the court would soon be able to control the Zhang family, which was equivalent to the court doing business, and Zhang Wenguan resolutely refused to agree.

But there is a technology, which is monopolized by the Six Houses of the Sage, that is, the sealing technology, because the current sealing technology of the steam engine uses rosin, which is not a commodity that the people must have, and there is no situation of competing with the people, the imperial court originally had a large amount of rosin, but the sealing technology is the core technology of the steam engine, mainly to prevent technology leakage, but in this regard, the Six Houses of the Sage will sign a contract with the Zhang family, and the price or something will be signed first, and then the government hall will personally approve it.

But even so, Zhang Daqi felt like he was dreaming, is this pie in the sky?

Totally unbelievable.

Therefore, the imperial court's audit and supervision, as well as the price of the imperial court's future purchase of steam engines, he all agreed, this is a sure deal, even if the steam engine is not profitable, those production technologies will also bring huge profits to the Zhang family, that screws can be sold separately for money, if his family monopolies, how high the profit will be.

Zhang Daqi directly said that he would donate 10,000 yuan to the Sixth Academy of Sages.

After negotiating with the Zhang family, Han Yicai came to the Sixth Court of the Sages and told the merchants of the decision of the imperial court.

The model is that the businessmen invest in the Sixth Academy of the Sage to develop the steam engine they want, and when the research and development is successful, you will cooperate with the Zhang family to produce it.

This is actually a temporary model, Han Yi doesn't want to control all the R&D technology in the Sage Sixth Academy, and in the end he still has to hand over the R&D rights to the businessmen to develop by themselves, so that the technology will progress, because if everyone comes to design, there will be competition, and the Sage Sixth Academy will develop alone, then there will be no competition.

Nowadays, firstly, the merchants do not have such talents, and secondly, the imperial court has to keep it strictly secret.

The merchants were so happy, they had never coveted this production technology, they wanted a steam engine, even if the court sold it itself.

But the research and development right is still in the Sage Sixth Academy, different fields, this steam engine is of course different, this completely depends on the Sage Sixth Academy, this is to cooperate, is to give money.

The businessmen were ready to give money, and they didn't believe that the imperial court would help them develop it for free, which was not in line with the rules of business, so on the spot, the Sixth Academy of the Sage received a cooperation promise of more than 100,000 yuan, which must be more than that, because as long as it is a workshop, you can use a steam engine.

The Yuan family gave 20,000 yuan, hoping that the Sixth Academy of Sages could develop a mining steam engine. Yuwen Xiumi also took out 10,000 yuan, he wants a steam car, wheels or something, don't worry about you, I'll figure it out myself.

The steam car can be bought as a luxury for the time being, and there is no need to drive from Yangzhou to Chang'an, as long as you can run in Chang'an, just like a bicycle, to make rich people's money.

Dou Heng and Zou Fengchi needless to say, they don't want anything else, they just want the steamboat, and they all give tens of thousands of donations.

At this time, the Sixth Academy of Sages will become the busiest government office in the DPRK, and many R&D departments can be established.

When Han Yi got the money, the first thing they did was to give them a bonus, and the craftsmen who participated in the research and development of the steam engine ranged from 100 to 1,000. Those senior Jiupin academicians are also given a bonus of 100 yuan, and if they are newcomers, it varies from dozens of yuan, and everyone has a share, including those who sweep the floor.

Not only that, but Han Yi also had to build them housing outside the city.

This kind of bonus amount is also a record-breaking!

In fact, it doesn't take much money to develop materials, the key is the wisdom of people, talent is the soul, not the steam engine, there must be a brave man under this heavy reward, Han Yi of course knows, the steam engine has just begun, and it is also necessary to develop a steam engine in various fields, which requires everyone's efforts, everyone takes this money, they will work hard, think hard, and work hard to create, because they know that if they succeed, they will get more rewards, and at the same time they can also attract more talents.

The Sixth Academy of Sages, which had been silent for several years, immediately became the stars holding the moon with the arrival of Yun Xiu, and the Jiupin Academician has become a favorite in the hearts of the people.

Xiao Wuyi immediately took this to encourage women, I was right, I must learn the six sages well, and if you master the six sages, you will control the future, so I sent women to study in the six sage academies, and I can't wait to hollow out the sage six academies. In fact, women have always worked very hard, because they also know that this is their best opportunity, doing physical work is certainly not a man's opponent, only in terms of mental power can they fight with men, and they have taken the lead, they are very solid in mathematics, have a lot of mathematical geniuses, women are no worse than the nine academicians of the Sixth Academy of the Sage in mathematics, and mathematics is the foundation of the Sixth Academy of the Sage.

And Gao Chongde and the others suddenly found that it was still unrealistic, how long would it take to get the steam engine out, the steam engine was in their hearts, just like fog, they couldn't imagine, they still had to cooperate with the Sage Sixth Academy, they finally lowered their arrogant heads and took the initiative to ask the Sage Sixth Academy to help them.

But the problem is that Academician Jiupin is unwilling to cooperate with them, and they all say that they are busy now, and they can't spare time, and there is no bonus to help you, so I might as well participate in the research and development of the steam engine.

Now it's also their turn to be tsundere.

Gao Chongde and they found Han Yi again, and Han Yi persuaded some Jiupin academicians to help them, but it was far less than the help they gave to women, because their wives were all surrounded by Xiao Wuyi.

In the hearts of the people, the six studies of the sage have actually surpassed Confucianism and Taoism, because if you learn the six studies of the sage, the future is immeasurable, even if you learn averagely, you will not starve to death.

If you want to say that technology is king, then raw materials are the foundation, no matter how good the development of technology is, there must be raw materials to produce, otherwise, everything is wild, but on the other side of the South China Sea, the mercenaries of merchants have also achieved very significant results.

Under the leadership of Yuan Ying, Cui Pingzhong, and Li Jingye, the mercenaries of the merchants almost wiped out the entire Buddha Lost Country, occupied the largest island among them, and destroyed the main force of the other party, but the war is not over yet, Dugu Wuyue, Yuan Liehu, and Li Jingye They are still continuing to fight, and the preparation is to take them all in one go, anyway, being idle is also idle, and it is not easy for Dugu Wuyue to go back and forth.

.......

In the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Uncle, third uncle, now the merchants can't wait, they want to get their land as soon as possible." Yuan Jie said to Yuan Eagle and Cui Pingzhong.

Now is the time to divide the spoils, and the merchants have given so much money, of course they want to get their own rewards as soon as possible.

While eating the fruit, Yuan Vultures asked, "Old Cui, what do you think?" ”

With Cui Pingzhong by his side, he is reluctant to use his brains for this kind of thing.

Cui Pingzhong slowly fanned the banana fan and said unhurriedly: "Let them not worry, this matter has to be discussed in the long run." ”

Yuan Jie said: "But they can't wait." He didn't understand what there was to think about in the long run, so he directly handed it over to them and let them divide it themselves.

"First of all, we have to deal with the inhabitants of this island first."

"Just make them all slaves."

Yuan Jie grinned.

Cui Pingzhong glanced at him, waved the banana fan, and said: "That's not good, in this case, there will definitely be many contradictions in the future, and the businessman is asking for a stable and stable environment, if this matter is not handled well, the cost of this in the future may be greater than the benefits obtained here." This place is not comparable to Yuanzhou, the people here are far larger than Yuanzhou, and the civilization is higher than Yuanzhou, if we blindly oppress, can you guarantee that there will be no Chen Sheng and Wu Guang among them? And once they riot, we have to spend a lot of money to suppress it, this is not Lelang Prefecture, our army comes over, the cost is very high. ”

Yuan Jie said: "What does the third uncle mean?" ”

Cui Pingzhong said: "Adopt the uniform field system. ”

"Poof!"

Yuan Vulture almost choked to death when he heard this, and said: "Old Cui, are you crazy, we don't have any Juntian system in the Central Plains, and you still engage in Juntian system here." ”

Cui Pingzhong said: "The Juntian system I am talking about is not a permanent system, it is only temporary, and it is only for local residents. According to my observation, the inhabitants here are relatively lazy, so we have to instill in them the idea of our Central Plains, let them work as hard as the people of the Central Plains, and we will distribute all the land that has been developed to our merchants, anyway, those lands are also those powerful people in the Buddha's country, not those residents, but there is still a lot of undeveloped wasteland, we can organize those residents to go to the wasteland to open up wasteland, give them farming technology, and help them open up more fields. ”

Yuan Jie immediately shook his head and said: "This is not good, the merchants will not agree, they think that this land must be theirs, including the people above." ”

Cui Pingzhong shook his head and smiled: "That's just a mouse's idea, it can't be exploited with a whip for a long time, in fact, we Datang don't need to use a whip to exploit, help them reclaim the fields, produce more grain, and then use our Central Plains commodities to be able to exchange their grain, isn't this also what businessmen are pursuing." And this can also benefit all our businessmen in the Central Plains, not just the Nanhai Group.

For merchants, this market is the most important, if there is no exchange, there will be no market, and there will be no more merchants to develop here. In addition, this island is so big, there are many islands around, enough to satisfy their appetite, if they are too little, they can directly divide a small island to them, in addition, we also want to encourage the people of the Central Plains to live here, only in this way, here will be completely integrated into my Datang, and can establish a huge overseas market, someone needs to consume, there is consumption, there will be a market, will attract more people to come, businessmen will get more profits. ”

Yuan Jie said: "But the merchant wants slaves, and if the uniform land system is used, then there will be no slaves." ”

Cui Pingzhong said: "I just want to treat those residents well, and those who are enemies of us, of course, are regarded as slaves and distributed to those merchants, so that they can also be divided internally, and at the same time let them understand that being an enemy of my Datang will never end well, but becoming the people of Datang, life must be better than now, but at the same time, we must also give them a promotion channel, let them work hard for this, instead of letting them do things in despair." ”

Yuan Vulture only felt creepy and asked, "Old Cui, where did you learn this set?" ”

Cui Pingzhong said angrily: "Of course, I learned it from your brother-in-law, after the destruction of Goguryeo, he did not regard all the people of Goguryeo as slaves, nor did he take all the land of the people of Goguryeo as his own. ”

Yuan Jie sneered: "That... Then the third uncle, you go and tell those businessmen? ”

Cui Pingzhong said: "Of course I won't go, it has nothing to do with me, I'm just suggesting, you can not take it." ”

Yuan Jie looked at Yuan Eagle in embarrassment, if he wanted to have the right to be the master, he wouldn't come here to ask.

Yuan Vulture: "What do you think I'm doing? I was about to leave here, and I thought I would be able to fight freely, but I didn't expect that this enemy would be so unbeaten, it was really boring. ”

Are you here, am I in charge? When Yuan Jie encountered these two scoundrels, he had no choice, sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll go and discuss with them." ”

Cui Pingzhong said: "You have to let them know that the fields can't bring them any wealth, wealth is produced, but this doesn't need to be done yourself, and it doesn't need to be oppressed, you can exchange all our Datang commodities, of course, all the resources of forests and minerals will be given to them." ”

Yuan Jie nodded and said, "I know!" ”

After Yuan Jie left, Yuan Vulture stretched his waist and said, "Old Cui, I'm going to go back, what are you going to do?" ”

Cui Pingzhong pondered for a while and said, "I hope I can stay for some more time." ”

Yuan Vulture smiled and said, "I know that your old boy actually has the heart to be an official." ”

Cui Pingzhong shook his head and said, "I have no interest in being an official for a long time, I am only interested in your brother-in-law's system." "He has already figured out Han Yi's set, but he hasn't experimented with it, everything comes from his imagination, and this is a testing ground for him.

Yuan Vulture nodded and said, "Okay, I'll officially hire you as the principal of our Yuan family here, and you will arrange the affairs of the Nanhai Group, and I'll go back first." Alas... When did I start thinking about home? It's weird. ”

.....．

Qujiangchi Palace.

Li Zhi sat in the hall, closed his eyes and recuperated.

After a while, I saw Lu Shigua walk in, bowed his hand, and said, "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”

Li Zhi opened his eyes and hurriedly asked, "Lu Aiqing, how is the prince's physical condition?" ”

Lu Shigua said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the prince's physical condition has always been well maintained. ”

"Really? That's good! Li Zhi nodded, and asked again: "Can the prince participate in political affairs?" ”

Lu Shigua was stunned for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, this prince's body is not caused by illness, but because the prince is born with a weak physique, so if he is too tired, he will be more likely to get sick than ordinary people. ”

Li Zhi frowned when he heard this, and said, "But the crown prince is the prince, and he always has to come out to deal with government affairs." ”

Lu Shigua said: "It's the incompetence of the minister, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

Li Zhi sighed and said, "I don't blame you, it's just that I... Alas.... ”

Lu Shigua pondered for a moment and said: "The minister thinks that the prince can be properly involved in some government affairs, but it must be strictly controlled, or to take care of the body, and when the prince is twenty-five years old and his body is at its best, he can let the prince participate in more government affairs." Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince's character and thoughts are rare among kings, if he is not affected by his body, the minister thinks that he will become a generation of Ming monarchs, and His Majesty should give the prince more patience. ”

Li Zhi glanced at him and asked with a smile: "I know your character very well, and it is not easy to get your appreciation!" ”

Lu Shigua said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the minister has often been in contact with the prince recently, and he admires the prince's character very much. ”

Li Zhi nodded happily and said, "I hope you can serve as the prince's teacher, and I am also very relieved to have you by the prince's side." ”

Lu Shigua was stunned, and his face was embarrassed.

Li Zhi said: "Don't you want to? ”

Lu Shigua hurriedly said: "It's not that the minister is unwilling, it's just that the minister is planning to submit his resignation to His Majesty." ”

Li Zhi was surprised: "You want to resign?" ”

Lu Shigua nodded.

Li Zhi said excitedly: "Why? Where can I not hold you back? Why did you resign? ”

"No, no, no."

Lu Shigua hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has always been very kind to your ministers, and it was because of Your Majesty that the ministers decided to resign." ”

Li Zhi looked surprised and said, "Where are you ashamed of me?" ”

Lu Shigua sighed and said: "Before the minister entered the office, he was a langzhong, and he also hoped to be able to help more people with medical skills, but in the face of His Majesty's illness and the prince's physical condition, the minister was helpless, and the minister felt deeply guilty, if he could cure His Majesty's illness and ensure the prince's health, it would be more beneficial to the country and the people than the minister to be an official in the court." Therefore, the minister decided to resign and devote himself to the study of medical skills, striving to cure His Majesty's illness and take care of His Royal Highness the Prince's body. ”

Li Zhi was so moved when he heard this, his expression was moved, and he said, "Could it be that Aiqing has this intention, I am really very moved." ”

Lu Shigua said: "This is a matter within the minister's responsibility, the minister has decided to devote his energy to medical research, hoping to make a breakthrough like a steam engine, so that His Majesty can stay away from the trouble of illness as soon as possible, so that I can have a healthy prince in Datang, and I hope Your Majesty agrees." ”

In this way, Li Zhi is really very excited, what a big breakthrough the steam engine is, if there is such a big breakthrough in medicine, then his disease may be cured well, and in terms of medical skills, Lu Shigua is a disciple of Sun Simiao, and his medical skills are more advanced than the imperial doctor, he thought for a while, and said: "Aiqing is willing to resign from the post of minister for me, I am really very moved in my heart, but I am not willing to lose Aiqing...... In this way, I will transfer you to the East Palace to serve as the prince's teacher, but you don't need to teach the prince to read every day, you just communicate with the prince when you are conditioning your body, and you can arrange the rest of the time. ”

Lu Shigua thought to himself, even if he resigned, Li Zhi would continue to take care of the prince, and he couldn't refuse, so he saluted and said, "Weichen obeys." ”

At this moment, a eunuch walked in quickly, first saluted Li Zhi, and then whispered a few words in Zhang Desheng's ear.

Zhang Desheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly whispered a few words in Li Zhi's ear.

Li Zhi frowned, and immediately said to Master Lu: "Lu Aiqing, Mrs. Rongguo is a little unwell, and the queen hopes that you can go with your wife." ”

Lu Shigua immediately said: "Weichen obeys. ”

After Lu Shigua left, Li Zhi suddenly frowned, pondered, and after a while, he said to Zhang Desheng: "Go back to the palace." ”
