Out of the city gate from the Qingliang Gate, here near the Qinhuai River, there is a wharf.

Zhu Zhanji and his entourage dismounted at the wharf, took the rocking boat at the wharf, and crossed the river one by one.

In their line, there are Taisun honor guards, thousands of guards, and a few second-grade scholars, which have attracted countless attention.

At the same time, Zhu Zhanji's words in the morning had already spread throughout the capital under Zhu Zhanji's intentional guidance.

His affection for craftsmen and merchants, and his desire to protect the property of the poor, made him gain a lot of popular support before he could do anything.

But some people like it, some people are dissatisfied. Zhu Zhanji's preference for other disciplines made those students who thought they were Confucian authentic think that Taisun was really too exalted of those mud legs.

Craftsmen, merchants, how can they be compared to those Confucians who study the doctrines of the sages.

Of course, because Zhu Zhanji didn't really do these things, it was just a rumor, so these people just wanted to oppose it, but they had nowhere to oppose it.

The grandson has not yet been in power, he is even worse than the prince, and the prince still has a James Mansion to contact the state politics. And the grandson is still living in the palace, and a naval headquarters has not yet been built, so they have nowhere to say anything even if they want to.

Inside the Imperial Palace, the Hall of Worship. Zhu Di read the records of his grandson's speech submitted by the internal supervisor, and he was immune to the new nouns that Zhu Zhanji spit out every day, although many words were fresh, but in terms of word meaning, they were very appropriate.

And Zhu Zhanji wants to promote the development of other disciplines, and for Zhu Di, he is also happy to see it.

On the surface, though, he still has to take an attitude. "This little monkey is lawless. Before the pro-government, it is necessary to legislate to protect the property of the poor, and those poor people have no property! ”

Hu Guang, Yang Shiqi and these cabinet members knew that Zhu Di's words could not be listened to. If the poor don't have property, don't they be protected? Of course not!

The poor have no money, this is a shame for the imperial court!

And these people are well aware of the reasons for the change of each dynasty, and these are historical questions that they need to specialize in.

Are they really not aware of the issue of land annexation? Of course not!

But in each dynasty, in the end, the vested interests are these people, how can they say that this is their own problem?

For this property protection law, in the initial stage of stability in the Ming Dynasty, in the stage when the literati class and the landlord class have not yet developed, the difficulty of implementing it is not great, and the key is to see whether they are willing to do it.

What's more, how ruthless Zhu Di is willing to do it. Today's scholar class has not yet swelled, the landlord class has not developed, and more importantly, the world has been decided, there are fewer people and more land, and the problem of land annexation and wealth annexation is not serious today.

Yang Shiqi is the poorest of the Wenchens, he lost his father when he was young, and his mother remarried. His stepfather treated him very well, but he was sentenced to the border of Shaanxi for offending the powerful, and his family was ruined.

He had a natural hostility towards the elite and the landlord class.

Since Yongle was summoned to the Hanlin Academy in the first year, Yang Shiqi has been cautious as an official, kept his own integrity, never accepted bribes, and never sympathized with corrupt officials.

He has a deep understanding of Zhu Di's character, and when he heard the words, he said: "Taisun's move is a move for the benefit of the country and the people, but just a few words are not enough evidence, and I still ask Your Majesty to summon His Royal Highness to ask Xiangqing, so as not to misinterpret His Highness's meaning through rumors." ”

Zhu Di said with a smile: "He went to Dajiang on business today, and when he returns to the palace after dark, I will ask him." ”

These words are equivalent to Zhu Di putting aside the ministers, and not asking them in person, naturally it also means to protect Zhu Zhanji.

When the others heard this, they also understood Zhu Di's intentions, and then they all began to praise Zhu Zhanji.

Along the Qingliang Gate out of the city, across the river, everyone first came to the mouth of the Qinhuai River.

The mud on the river beach here is deep and low-lying, and Zhu Zhanji just looked at it and did not think that it was suitable for building a factory.

Song Li's understanding of the river and soil quality is far beyond Zhu Zhanji's, and he also directly denied the erection of waterwheels here.

Everyone continued to go up along the river, and a large island appeared in the center of the river, which was also the famous Jiangxin Island in Yingtianfu.

The Yangtze River is divided into two rivers here, the north side of the island is the main channel, and the south side and the river bank form a sandwich river about 30 miles long.

The current of the Jiajiang River is not too fast, but the amount of water is not small. Choosing a river embankment with a solid shore foundation, Song Li had several force measuring water wheels installed in the water, and let people test the water speed with wooden plank boats.

Although these methods are simple, they can also estimate the approximate water velocity and hydraulic power.

Wu Zhong led a group of people to carefully study the foundations and topography of the embankment to determine where it was most suitable to build a factory.

This kind of test is time-consuming and laborious, and it is not possible to determine the exact results in a moment.

Zhu Zhanji stood by the river, looking at the Yangtze River 600 years ago, and sighed in his heart for a while, feeling lonely.

Doesn't this plane know that it is consistent with the original plane? Will the things he did affect the original time and space?

I'm afraid not.

However, no matter what time and space, everyone is a hurried passerby, and it is enough to be able to leave traces of their own existence.

In addition to the waterwheel-powered factory, Zhu Zhanji also considered inventing electricity.

When he was in junior high school, he did experiments, using two magnets and some copper wires, when they rotated, electricity could appear, and even small light bulbs could be lit.

And if you use the principle of a waterwheel to drive a large rotor, it is also possible to generate electricity.

However, this is more difficult, because insulated copper wire is definitely not something that can be made by the current level of science and technology.

He also doesn't know how to make copper wire, and the smelting level has not yet reached a more mature stage, and the electricity will have to wait for a while.

On the way back to the city, there was no discussion about the construction of the factory, Zhu Zhanji talked in detail with Song Li and Wu Zhong, he wanted to build a scientific research institute, and he needed all kinds of talents.

There may still be a difference in the number of officials in the Ministry of Works, but there is absolutely no shortage of craftsmen.

The entire Ministry of Industry has a roster of various craftsmen from all over the country, and no matter what kind of talent you want, the easiest way is to select according to the roster.

He is not ready to handle this matter single-handedly, and he may not be able to come forward better than others in this kind of thing.

Therefore, the Ministry of Industry sent two foreign officers, four directors, and eight secretaries to help Zhu Zhanji select personnel.

Zhu Zhanji also sent more than a dozen eunuchs headed by Jin Kuo to pick people according to Zhu Zhanji's standards.

At the great court meeting on the first day of the first month of this year, in addition to frequent personnel transfers, the most attractive thing for the ministers was a globe placed next to the throne of Fengtian Palace.

The ministers could vaguely see the territory of the Ming Dynasty on the globe under the stage, and they didn't know what it was at first, but after a few court meetings, almost everyone knew that it was a map of the world that the emperor had just gotten.

Although everyone wants to come forward and take a good look at the map of the world, only a few people can have this honor.

At present, this map can only be viewed by important ministers, and it is strictly required to be known to others, especially foreign envoys.

Although most people don't know the details, rumors have been spreading lately. The Ming Dynasty only occupies less than one-fifteenth of the territory in the world, and the so-called Central Empire is just a frog at the bottom of the well, sitting in the well and watching the sky.

When Zheng He returned to his teacher this time, he was ready to visit the New World according to the map of the world.

Therefore, this map is the biggest secret of the Ming Dynasty today, and it will not be known to people from other countries.

But those who say this are often refuted by others. Since it is a secret, why does the emperor want to show it in the Fengtian Palace?

Of course, Zhu Di did this to show his cultural and martial arts, and he was also subtly cultivating the ministers and cultivating their passion for foreign conquests.

As for guarding against foreign envoys, in fact, Zhu Di didn't care. Because except for the Ming Dynasty, almost no country has the ability to send a large fleet to occupy those lands.

Not to mention fleets, many countries can't even build sea ships, and even Dongying, their ships are pitifully small, and they can only sail on the sea along the coast and avoid storms.

Even those island countries in the South Seas, most of their ships are small sampans, and they can't even build large ships of more than 1,000 stones, let alone timber suitable for building large ships.

So Zhu Di is not very worried that others will be the first to get to the map after they know it, and he still keeps it private, mainly because Zhu Zhanji does not approve of this time to be completely public.

Because Zhu Zhanji was worried that these maps would be copied by others and spread to Europe, at that time, it would be equivalent to adding maritime opponents to the Ming Dynasty.

This world belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and he will never allow Europeans to become the masters of the world again.

Therefore, these places can only be occupied by Daming first. And he wants to lock up those Europeans in Europe and absolutely not give them a chance to develop.

Because of these reasons, Jin Kuo is now free.

He is old enough, his official position is high enough, plus his experience in Ningbo City, and his experience in organizing the supply chain of wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. Let him help him build Xiamaqiao Farm and set up a scientific research institute, which can be said to be the best use of his talents.

Jin Kuo's ability is indeed good, he used more than 100 eunuchs to establish a management framework first, each person is responsible for different projects, responsible for contacting different people.

In just a few days, without Zhu Zhanji having to worry about it, the affairs of Xiamaqiao Farm were fully rolled out.

And Zhu Zhanji was locked up in the palace by Zhu Di for several days, and asked him to write out the details of the protection of the legal property of the poor and the patent regulations.

In fact, Zhu Zhanji does not have a deep understanding of patent regulations, but he also knows the application and statute of limitations of some different patents in later generations. For example, the copyright law may be valid for the person who has been in force, and even if he dies, it will still be valid for 50 years.

Invention patents and improvement patents are basically valid for 20 years, while appearance patents and trademark patents are subject to a renewal system.

As for the legislation to protect personal lawful property, Zhu Zhanji does not need to bother with this, and the law of the free court is formulated, and the only thing Zhu Zhanji can do is to annotate some necessary detailed rules.

Since it is legislated for the protection of the poor, it must not be allowed to become a weapon for the noble to exploit the poor.

(This chapter is not satisfactorily written, but a summary of the previous chapters.) When Zhu Zhanji integrates the sailors, when it is put on the shelves, he wants the protagonist to go to Japan to make waves. ）
