Chapter Seventy-Two: The Node of History

There are always some nodes in history that are hidden in the long river of time.

Except for the Qing Dynasty, no country could stop the progress of industry, and the Qing Dynasty only stood still or even regressed on the land of China.

In Zhang Zhen's view, Xu Guangqi's death is like Qin losing its deer to the Ming Dynasty, and the impact on the Ming Dynasty is greater than that of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui and others.

And Zhang Zhen took out the telescope as evidence, but he made some mistakes, which was exactly what the craftsmen wanted.

Originally, the craftsman was driven by interests to come, and what he did was the method of making the diorama, which was also in line with Zhang Zhen's expectations, and it was gratifying to be able to come to more than 100 people.

Zhang Zhen underestimated Xu Guangqi's influence among the craftsmen of the day.

To be able to bring the method of craftsmen who were degraded to strange skills into the court, although it is mainly the method of Taixi, the local craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty have also benefited to some extent, and even several craftsmen in the north and south have served as petty officials, which is something that has not been done for thousands of years, and it is also the hope of the rise of craftsmen.

In the eyes of the literati, Xu Guangqi, who was the second assistant of the dynasty, a scholar, and a dead scholar, that is, a role model for his career, was the goal of countless people's promotion.

In the hearts of the craftsmen, Xu Wending gave a hope, and also improved the control of the imperial court over the craftsmen a lot, and countless craftsmen benefited from it.

What Zhang Zhen said to the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry on the construction site of the Dragon King Temple is similar to Xu Guangqi's approach, and it is more direct than that.

Although Xu Guangqi is an auxiliary minister, after all, he is only a courtier, there are also the first assistant, as well as the emperor, and countless officials who are blind, just like after his death, the implementation of Taixi's law in the court has plummeted, and it has not been popularized all over the world, it has shown a declining trend, and it is simply half the effort.

But Zhang Zhen is very different here, he has absolute dominance over the subordinates, so that he can quickly popularize anything he wants to promote, and then take out modern items to stimulate, plus the knowledge and insight beyond hundreds of years to guide, the large-scale industrialization of industry can also get twice the result with half the effort.

Even if he died, it was the will of the first emperor, and future generations would dare to disobey it? is by no means like Xu Guangqi, after his death, the Western law will withdraw from the court.

——————————

Lao Su with a very excited and sacred look, his hands trembled and put the telescope on his eyes, the originally normal vision was instantly closer, roof tiles, white clouds, everything seemed to be close at hand, and Lao Su couldn't help but exclaim under the excitement.

This is the legendary clairvoyant mirror, all the craftsmen who are not hot-eyed, want to take a look, if there is no Zhang Zhen on the side, I am afraid that they would have scrambled for it a long time ago.

Some people are apprehensive, some people are eagerly expecting, the craftsmen who have no chance to get involved for the time being can only observe Lao Su's expression, and the constantly changing expression on Lao Su's face is even more anxious.

The expression on Lao Su's face made Zhang Zhen very satisfied, and after a long time, seeing Lao Su's addicted looking around, Zhang Zhen couldn't help but speak: "Master Su, it doesn't hurt to let you take it for a day, the key is that we will catch the spy now." ”

"Oooh oh!!" Lao Su blushed and said: "The first time I saw such a magical thing in my life, I forgot it for a while, don't blame the owner!" ”

"It's okay!" Zhang Zhen smiled and asked: "This clairvoyant mirror can see the movements of others in the distance, which is enough to find out the spies, what does Lao Su think?" ”

Lao Su nodded eagerly and said: "With such a magical thing, no matter how far away it is, all ill-intentioned actions will have nothing to hide." ”

With Lao Su as evidence, Zhang Zhen sighed: "Yesterday I returned from the lake, I saw it with this clairvoyant mirror, there is another person on the lake besides you, that person is behind you, he should have seen the boat coming, he actually hid, hidden in the dark to spy on my whereabouts, I said that he is a traitor, not wronged, right?" ”

Lao Su was obedient and stunned, and followed him yesterday? I'm scared half to death this time, and I get angry when I think about it.

After Zhang Zhen finished speaking, he said with righteous indignation: "If you are upright, how can you do this thing of rooster and dog thief, this person must be a spy!" If it harms the owner, but doesn't it cut off the livelihood of the big guy? How can such a person be wronged if he dies innocently? Guys say yes?! ”

"That's it, such black sheep should be found out!"

"The proprietor is a person who does great things, how can he keep such a small night around him as a scourge, and he should take it to set an example."

Originally, everyone was able to stay in Nanyang, firstly, because of the hope of the diorama, and secondly, because of the good food and good accommodation here, which was due to the benefits.

And now, Zhang Zhen took out the clairvoyant mirror, although only Lao Su had seen it, and the others were also convinced, because of the relationship between the clairvoyant mirror and Xu Wendinggong, for Zhang Zhen, the owner, in addition to the hope of the clairvoyant mirror, there was also a trace of almost faith-like feelings.

Wen Dinggong is the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and he can let the craftsmen enter the hall, what if the proprietor's rebellion succeeds?

The owner took out the clairvoyant mirror at will, and the musket was also done silently, these two things, that is, it is not easy for the Ministry of Industry to make it, but the owner made it out in this small place, so as to do it, the importance of craftsmanship is not lost to Wen Dinggong, and he is a craftsman, and he will inevitably benefit in the future, not to mention that he is the first to take refuge.

With this awareness, all the craftsmen responded to Lao Su's words with great enthusiasm, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic.

Everyone is calm in their hearts, and their words and expressions are naturally revealed, but some people are different.

When Zhang Zhen sighed and said those words, one of them was already very frightened in his heart, after all, he had never seen the power of the clairvoyant, and he still had a fluke mentality in his heart, thinking that it was so far away, it was difficult to see clearly, and the owner took out the clairvoyant mirror, which was singing a duet with Lao Su, and wanted to deceive himself.

This person comforted himself so much, and he didn't forget to echo the others, and suddenly heard the owner shout: "Master Xiang, come out." ”

A moment of distraction, followed by endless fear, the people around him instantly moved away, which multiplied the fear, and no longer dared to be lucky, and directly knelt on the ground and cried like rain: "Wanwang Dongjia listened to my explanation, Guangda was also forced to go to Yanzhou a few years ago, and was favored by the workers of Lu Wangfu, so he had a livelihood." ”

Said gritted his teeth and said: "It's the left minister of the palace, the craftsman who came to work is looking for, said that it must be reused after the matter is completed, originally chose someone else, when I left, I heard that I was from Jiangnan, and I had to replace him, he was the left minister of the palace, Xiang Guangda was only a craftsman, how dare he contradict?" He was arranged, and he came to the owner here, this matter is not false, I hope the owner will be gracious, let go of the villain, and there is no way to repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life! ”

Zhang Zhen asked indifferently: "Finished?" ”

"Hmm... Finished. Xiang Guangda nodded blankly.

Zhang Zhen sneered: "Lu Wangfu, Zuo Xiang, very good!" Zhang Zhen has never taught the Western law, what he did is like this, all kinds of different laws are very important, if it is stolen prematurely, and there is no power to protect himself, Zhang's fate can be imagined, if Zhang Zhen spares you, how can he be worthy of the thousands of people who are following me now? Kill you to warn the ill-intentioned pretenders, and you can go with peace of mind! Someone, dragged out, shot! ”
