The panic of Ma Zhicai's family did not last long, and at noon the next day, two eunuchs arrived at the horse house on Jiashan Street with a team of brocade guards.

As a petty official who has just entered the stream, the Ma family is the first time to accept the order, and the whole family is terrified. It was still under the guidance of the gentle-looking eunuch that the incense case was arranged, and nearly 20 people from the whole family knelt down in the courtyard.

Outside the yard, the neighbors of Jiashan Street are also very curious, and they huddle outside to see the excitement.

This is not the Taipingfang where the dignitaries live, Chang'an Fang, where all the merchants or petty officials live, and there has been no case of the internal supervisor personally coming to the door to announce the decree for so many years.

"The Ma family has burned incense for eight lifetimes, a petty official who has just entered the stream, can have the glory of pouring the sky, and the internal supervisor personally came to the door to announce the decree."

"Who said no, this Ma Zhi was summoned to the palace after the New Year, I don't know what he did, and he was so appreciated."

"Yesterday, the Ma family was still panicked, and I heard them crying in the backyard at home, but I didn't expect that it was Ma Zhicai who came back, and this time their family is booming."

And Ma Zhicai was already trembling with excitement, and the first time he saw the eunuch who passed the decree, his heart fell into his stomach, and only excitement remained.

Because only when you are promoted will there be an internal prison decree, if you degrade the truth and copy the family, a petty official like him will not have a holy decree at all.

In a daze, according to the instructions of the eunuch of the inner prison, he set up the incense table, knelt on the ground, and still had a feeling of dreaming.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and he says, I only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with force. Rewarding virtuous labor is the work of the imperial court. Erma's Zhicai, who is the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Industry Yu Hengqing Officials, receives the life of the grandson, burns his salary, and does his best, which is a model of the people's ministers. Zitter's grant is the deputy of the Ministry of Industry's camp, and Er Ling is not ignorant, and he is still known to be honored. In addition, the grandson ordered to listen to the order, and he admired this. ”

From the deputy envoy of the ninth rank to the deputy of the seventh grade, Ma Zhicai was in a dream for a while, so that he didn't hear the content of the last sentence clearly at all.

Until the eunuch closed the decree and said, "Deputy Masuo, take the decree." ”

He came to his senses, raised his hands above his head, and took the decree. "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Only then did the eunuch smile and said: "Congratulations to Deputy Ma, you can follow the grandson in the future, as long as you do your best, His Royal Highness the grandson will never succumb to your talent." ”

He snorted, a little unintelligible. However, the other party obviously gave decrees frequently, and knew that many people were so emotional when they received the decree that they did not hear the content of the decree at all.

So he didn't think it was strange, and said with a smile: "What the emperor means is that although the deputy has received the position of the Ministry of Industry, he only needs to report it, and in the future, the adults will mainly work with His Royal Highness the Taisun and serve the Taisun." ”

A deputy of the Ministry of Industry, not to mention the grandson, even the adults of the Ministry of Industry can not remember. But one is the deputy who can serve in front of the grandson, which is a glory that has reached the sky in one step!

Ma Zhicai was even more surprised this time, and was stunned there, not knowing where he got the appreciation of his grandson.

The young eunuch with a gentle face smiled and said: "Deputy Ma, our family is Li Liang who works in front of His Royal Highness the Taisun, His Highness knows that you are skilled, and there is a lack of a craftsman like you in front of you, so let our family inform you first." You were confined during the Chinese New Year, and this year, you also suffered, so you went to the Ministry of Industry to report, and temporarily recuperated at home. After the Lantern Festival in the coming year, our family will come to you again, and I will leave something for you to do. ”

It's only late October, and there are still more than two months before the Chinese New Year, and waiting for the fifteenth to do things before doing things is equivalent to having three months off.

Knowing that the eunuch in front of him was the eunuch who could be used in front of the grandson, Ma Zhicai did not dare to slack off, knelt down and kowtowed and said: "Weichen Zhicai is not talented, and if he is appreciated by His Royal Highness the Taisun, he will do his best and die." ”

Li Liang said with a smile: "Our family borrowed a sentence that His Royal Highness often said to warn the deputy, I will use you, do your best enough, and there will be no need after death." In the future, we will both work for His Highness, communicate with each other, and go hand in hand. ”

"Weichen doesn't dare to raise with the eunuchs, and is willing to attach to the tail of Ji."

Li Liang was praised by him and smiled even more happily. "Our family is just a young eunuch, and I don't dare to be a eunuch. Deputy Ma So, get up, our family doesn't dare to accept such a big gift from you. ”

Yesterday I was still in a panic, but today I was added to the knighthood, from the last petty official, directly crossed the fifth level, and became a positive seventh grade.

Most of the Beijing officials are at the same level, and when they return to their hometowns to meet the county order, not only do they not need to go to the relationship anymore, but the other party will also come to see him.

However, he also knew that although he had been promoted to the fifth level this time, he was afraid that this position would not be able to manage things in the Ministry of Industry, and he would mainly serve in front of His Royal Highness Taisun in the future.

However, being able to serve in front of His Royal Highness Taisun is even more glorious than being a five-grade member in the Ministry of Industry.

The Ma family has been in business for generations, and although it cannot be said that they are rich and expensive, they have a lot of money. Seeing that her husband was so happy, Mrs. Ma hurriedly arranged for her eldest son Ma to go in and get a plate of five taels of silver ingots to distribute it.

Each Jinyi guard who accompanied the team had five taels per person, the two leading two had ten taels each, and as for the two eunuchs who had announced the decree, each had twenty taels.

Now it is still the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty lacks gold and silver, this filial piety is not small, and everyone is extremely satisfied.

Until they were about to say goodbye and leave, Madi saw that his eldest uncle had not calmed down, so he couldn't help but pull his shirt and whispered, "Uncle, clairvoyant." ”

Ma Zhicai woke up like a dream at this time, and said loudly: "Young Eunuch Li, please stay, I have a treasure to offer to His Highness!" ”

Li Liang paused for a moment, stopped and said with a smile: "It can be called a treasure, and our family's curiosity has also been hooked, I don't know what kind of treasure it is?" ”

Ma Zhicai bowed down and said, "This is a telescope made by Weichen's nephew......"

Li Liang was a little disappointed and said, "You should know who invented the telescope, right?" This thing is rare among the people, and it ...... in front of His Highness."

Ma Zhicai settled down and said, "Weichen's nephew, this telescope can achieve forty times the effect. ”

Li Liang Yileng, as Zhu Zhanji's side, he is very clear that Zhu Zhanji attaches great importance to new technologies, when he left the palace today, the grandson was in Xingqing Palace to sort out the new technologies from various places, if it is really a 40 times telescope, it is a great achievement.

"Is that true?"

"Don't dare to hide it."

Li Liang turned around and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, please take it out and take a look, if this is the case, Your Highness should be rewarded." ”

In Xingqing Palace, in addition to the eunuchs who originally belonged to Xingqing Palace, there are also eunuchs who are transferred from all over the country to transfer salt envoys, salt section lifting divisions, and city shipping lifting divisions.

Hundreds of people gathered in the annex hall of Xingqing Palace, and classified the various business families, industry types, and technology types from all over the country, and then counted them.

This work has been going on for more than a month, and when Zhu Zhanji first returned to Beiping, he had already ordered the internal supervisor to make statistics.

However, for more than a month, none of these data have been counted. Especially with regard to the technical aspects of sorting, if you want to sort out all kinds of different technologies systematically, it is enough to achieve good results in one or two years.

In order to create a primary industrial base at this time, Zhu Zhanji must have a general understanding of the technological capabilities of this era.

In the process, he will not only be able to train a group of subordinates who are good at auditing accounts, but also select some technicians with a foundation in industrial development, who will become the seeds of technology dissemination.

However, Zhu Zhanji has not yet thought about how to coordinate the interests in this.

As long as it is an industry, no matter how brief and basic it is, it will involve competition and interests.

For example, the Wang family and the Zhang family are both printed and dyed, and the two families have their own merits. It is impossible for the technical talents of the Wang family to be willing to contribute to the Zhang family, and it is impossible for the Zhang family to be willing to learn their own skills by the Wang family.

When these technologies are sorted out and how to promote them, there will be more problems in the distribution of benefits.

Nowadays, there are no communication and transportation conditions for later generations, and if we use the way of state-owned enterprises to guide them, we will only raise moths one by one.

Moreover, after the monopoly model is formed, for a long time, the improvement of this technology will stagnate, and one by one will only learn to eat the coffin.

If you want technological innovation, if you want business to flourish, and if you want to promote scientific and technological progress, the private economy is the best way to promote it.

However, the private economy is not conducive to the country's unification of resources and competitiveness. What's more, today's people's recognition of the country and the nation is far less than that of later generations, and most of them are family-oriented.

If this kind of development continues, it will only become a moth of the country and the nation, just like the Shanxi locust merchants in later generations.

The root of everything is the laying of the system, there is no good system, each according to a different model to develop, although a hundred flowers bloom, but will not play the greatest competitiveness.

All the affairs were disorganized, and for a while, Zhu Zhanji didn't even know how to start.

There are so many things that need to be changed!

And he is not the emperor now, and it is impossible to change the fundamental system.

Even if he becomes the emperor, at that time, he will face greater resistance.

Now there is Zhu Di to help him block the wind and rain and bear the pressure, and at that time, he will directly face the resistance of the civil class.

Things still have to be done one by one, and it's useless to think too much.

Picking up a stack of statistics on the overall scale of the silk industry in Jiangnan, Zhu Zhanji looked at it seriously.

Silk, porcelain, ironware, tea, white paper, these are the five major varieties of foreign trade in the Ming Dynasty. Needless to say, silk, porcelain and tea, even in later generations, Zhu Zhanji knew the scale of these trade varieties.

But after coming to this era, Zhu Zhanji found that the sales of iron and white paper in this era are definitely not small.

White paper was mainly sold to Dongying and North Korea, where the literati class had a great demand for white paper produced in the Ming Dynasty, and even the supply exceeded the supply.

And iron tools are not only weapons, but also kitchen knives and iron pots. And the largest export sales are the iron pots that Zhu Zhanji has never paid attention to.
