"Maybe before you finish your sentence, those who have behaved well will be given weapons. At the end of his sentence, his salary is on par with that of our workers in the starting city. ”

Weapons will be issued to them later, of course, only cold weapons. It is foreseeable that there will be a large number of captives in the future, so these people will specialize in such work in the future.

He continued: "Tartar! They are blood-drinking, uncivilized barbarians, who are not worthy to live in this world. We have little mercy and mercy to give to such a coarse people who are afraid of power and not virtuous. Therefore, all the Tartar captives who dare to resist, those you think really deserve to die, can be handed over to the Tiance Army to deal with. ”

Then Wang Yue said to Luo Kaiyuan: "Captain Luo, you will arrange for someone to erect a hundred pillars around the brick factory in a while, and it is required to be at least one zhang high. ”

Luo Kaiyuan immediately nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Do you really understand my intentions?"

"Uh," Luo Kaiyuan rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Humble position, humble and stupid, I don't understand the deep meaning of Lord Wang." ”

Wang Yue pointed around and said, "Hang all the sixty-three troublemakers on the pillars around me for public display." The rest of the pillars are for the disobedient Tartars in the future, do you understand? ”

Luo Kaiyuan was staggered, this is too ruthless. He nodded again and again, "I understand." ”

As a result, there was a circle of pillars around the brick factory, and the hanged tartars swung in the wind and became dried human flesh.

This move shocked all the Tartar prisoners, and also frightened those former Ming troops a lot. Whoever lives surrounded by air-dried corpses every day is terrible enough.

Luo Kaiyuan and Huang San were grateful that Wang Yue did not hold them accountable, and they worked harder in this job.

Father John Tang was recently stunned because of a car. As a five-product supervisor, he has no qualifications to go to the court. But Chongzhen arranged for him to cast cannons, so he occasionally had the opportunity to enter the palace.

Since seeing the Q3, John Tang was immediately attracted to it, this car that can move freely on its own and has a beautiful appearance is called a miracle by him, which is a miracle of mankind. As a European who was quite accomplished in astronomy, mechanics, cannon casting, and mathematics, his desire to learn made him want to stop, so he begged Emperor Chongzhen to allow him to study Q3.

Tang Ruowang's talent and learning, which the late Xu Guangqi recognized very much. Since he served as the Supervisor of Qintian, it has indeed proved his knowledge and ability. Therefore, Chongzhen was surprised by Tang Ruowang's request, and he was also looking forward to him being able to understand the secrets of his car.

But how could a fifteenth-century scholar understand this modern industrial car? There are a lot of plastic parts in the car, he doesn't know what they are made of, why are the lights on? And colorful. The windows of a car may seem to be glass, but they are actually very different. He could see what the tires were used for, but what were they made of? Why is the surface of the car as smooth as a mirror? The most important thing is the machine that allows the car to walk freely, he saw it, and yes, he opened the front cover. The inside is as complicated as a spider's web, so that he does not dare to act rashly, worried that he will not be able to recover, this is the emperor's thing, and if it is broken, he will lose his head.

After careful observation, he found that in addition to the lack of Chinese characters, there were also many English and Slavonic scripts, but he was sure that Europe had not yet reached such a high level of skill.

He asked the two drivers in detail, but he couldn't ask anything, but he knew about the starting point city and Wang Yue.

Today he specially came to the starting point city not far from Jingshi, hoping that the young man could solve his confusion.

Unfortunately, his confusion was even greater! Oh my God, is this still the Ming Dynasty? The streets of the starting point city are almost completely completed, and all kinds of vehicles shuttle back and forth, and the trees are transplanted like soldiers to divide the pedestrian passage. Pedestrians are dressed in completely different costumes from the Ming Dynasty and walk on their right side on a kind of red floor tiles. The buildings in the city are just as amazing, they are tall, very tall, especially the building in the middle of the city in the distance, which is still under construction, reaching into the sky.

With his status as a five-grade supervisor, he successfully entered this city of miracles, and he found that there was no gate tax to enter the city here.

Hearing that he was coming to find Wang Yue, the officer of the security department on duty at the city gate immediately reported the situation to the above, and after permission, arranged for soldiers to lead the way for him.

Wang Yue was not surprised when he heard that John Tang was coming. Unlike most scholars in the Ming Dynasty, who only pursued humanistic ideas, Europeans paid more attention to practical science and technology. The City of Origin is filled with too many modern things, and sooner or later it will spread out, arousing the amazement and interest of the people of this era.

"Lord Wang, this city is amazing, I came from Europe to Daming, thousands of miles away, and traveled through many countries and regions, only here can represent the pinnacle of human civilization. Compared to here, everywhere is ignorant and backward. I'm really curious, how is this done? I heard that this city was built just over three months ago! Tang Ruowang's Beijing dialect is very standard, and while observing Wang Yue's office, he said,

Wang Yue didn't expect that this German guy would be able to see this, and he couldn't help but secretly admire. Although the Ming Dynasty was more open and tolerant of foreign science than the Qing Dynasty, Confucianism in the bones still made most people have no interest in science, and they focused on poetry, songs, and moral articles. There are still too few people like Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua.

For many things in the starting point city, most people in the Ming Dynasty only knew the novelty, ease of use, convenience, and even commercial value, but they did not see the power it contained, the power of industry.

And this European scholar has already felt the power of industrial civilization from superficial observation.

Wang Yue said with a sloppy look: "Tang Jianzheng's question, I can't answer it in one or two sentences, you can observe it with your own eyes." ”

John Tang had come to inquire about the working principle of the car, but he didn't expect that there were too many things he wanted to know in this city.

Seeing that Wang Yue avoided his question, he had no choice but to ask: "Why can the car walk freely, can you solve my doubts?" I only guessed that it was a kind of organization working, but it was difficult to understand how it worked. ”

Wang Yue said: "If you explain the working principle in detail, I can't understand it, and it's very complicated. But the simple truth, as soon as I say it, you will understand. The car can move because the engine is working. The engine works by burning fuel in the cylinder, which expands the gas and pushes the piston down to do work, and the piston transmits power to the wheels through the gear transmission. The piston returns to the high point after doing the work, and injects oil into the cylinder again to ignite and push the piston. The engine works by constantly injecting fuel to drive the reciprocating motion of the piston. The more oil you give, the more work you do, so the faster the car will go. ”

John Tang basically understood, this truth is not complicated. He politely said to Wang Yue: "Thank you very much for your generous explanation, it really benefited me a lot." I have a request, I wonder if Lord Wang can allow it? ”

"Please!" Wang Yue said.

John Tong smiled and said, "I hope to come here often to study, and spread the doctrine while studying, so that this civilized city can bathe in the gospel of the Lord." ”

John Tong came to Daming to preach, he was German, but he was an Italian Catholic Jesuit priest. Including Xu Guangqi, the imperial horse eunuch Pang Tianshou and other Ming people were baptized into the church.

Although Wang Yue is an atheist, he is not exclusive to the spread of religious beliefs, except for cults.

In fact, he was not optimistic about Christianity or Catholicism, and he was able to succeed in the Ming Dynasty, which was proved by the next few hundred years. In fact, the fundamental reason why Christianity cannot spread in China is that the Chinese are thoroughly "atheist". What the Chinese really believe in is their ancestors, and the gods and goddesses of all walks of life are used to seek wealth, children, good luck, and eternal life, not to be used as faith. If you convince them of a doctrine, the first thing he will ask is, "Is it spiritual?" If it doesn't work, forget it! Few people regard doctrine as a spiritual pillar and a guiding ideology for work and life.

Wang Yue said to Tang Ruowang: "Tang Jian is going to study and preach here, I have no objection, but I have a small request. ”

"Oh, what does Lord Wang want?" John Tang said curiously.

Wang Yue smiled and said, "I hope that Tang Jian Zheng can take the time to come to our starting point city school to teach mathematics and geometry. In return, I will provide a large number of books for you to learn, and the knowledge of that engine is also among them. ”

Relying only on electronic teaching is not detailed enough, and some teachers cannot fully understand some problems, so Wang Yue wants to ask Tang Ruowang to help him train some math and geometry teachers. John Tang is definitely an expert in this area, and he has also published "Geometric Originals" with Xu Guangqi.

Tang Ruowang didn't expect Wang Yue to make such a request, and he couldn't help but feel very strange.

"Lord Wang, judging from this city, the level of civilization should be very high, why is there a shortage of math teachers? I don't have a lot of time, but I can let my students do it for me. ”

Wang Yue was overjoyed and said: "Why is there a shortage of teachers, you will know later." You have your students come and learn more than just here if they want to. Here they give twenty taels a month, no, thirty taels a month, and they have a house. ”

Because he was so excited, Wang Yue was about to become incoherent, and what he lacked most now was a qualified teacher, and the mathematics that John Tang's students learned was easy to integrate with modern mathematics. His requirements are not high, as long as he can finish teaching middle and high school, he will soon have a qualified mathematics teacher. Mathematics is the foundation of physical chemistry and is very important.

Europeans have begun to dabble in physics and chemistry, but they have not yet become systematic subjects, and these students of John Tong must have some foundation. It's no wonder that they aren't interested in seeing those physical chemistry books, so these people are also potential physical chemistry teachers. Can Wang Yue be unhappy?

This treatment was too generous, and it scared John Tang, his salary was not so high.

"With such a high salary, my students will probably come. However, most of them work in the yamen and do not necessarily have much time to teach. John Tang said.

"Part-time can only get one-third of the salary, full-time can get full salary, and if they are willing to transfer to my military station, part-time can get full salary."

Wang Yue's military preparation road does not have much power, the counties are managed by the Shuntian Mansion, and the government Yin Zheng is a three-product soldier, and there is nothing to do with him, a five-grade soldier. The military guards are managed by the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army, and he has nothing to do, Chongzhen set up this military preparation road to let him train the Tiance Army.

Therefore, those who are willing to be transferred to the army to serve as errands, Wang Yue can directly send them to the school to teach.

"Okay, I'll tell them, can I visit your school?" John Tang asked.

"Of course, I'll help you contact Principal Xu." Wang Yue nodded.

The teaching of the starting point city school is mainly based on electronic teaching, as for how Tang Ruowang will be dumbfounded, it is not Wang Yue's concern.

He's been organizing those new fitter-door modifications lately, yes, modifications. In the 21st century, bicycles have been reduced to a means of leisure transportation, but in the eighties and nineties, bicycles were not only a means of transportation, but also a means of carrying goods, and some weighted bicycles could even carry up to 300 kilograms.

In the current productivity situation of Daming, the truck bicycle is more practical. And there is another benefit, with the promotion of bicycles, clothing will also evolve, how inconvenient is the robe to ride a bicycle?

The fitters made stainless steel pipes and wires into triangular brackets, drilled sleeves and screws fixed to the Giant bike, and a copycat weighted bicycle was made.

When it comes to producing bikes locally, the biggest difficulty is the tires. It is difficult to grow natural rubber without a few years of cultivation, not to mention the remoteness of the South Seas. Therefore, Wang Yue can only use industrial rubber, and the raw materials of industrial rubber are basically derived from oil, and he can't help but sigh that oil is really full of treasures.

The Forbidden City of the Forbidden City of the Beijing Division.

Cao Huachun trotted in, ran to Chongzhen, laughed, and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's a happy event!"

Chongzhen is discussing with the ministers, and Wang Yue proposed to set up a joint stock company. Before he came back to his senses, he let out a casual "um".

Cao Huachun glanced at the ministers in the hall, "Gao Yingxiang has caught it!" ”

"What?" Chongzhen raised his head, and the courtiers' eyes widened.

"Gao Yingxiang was ambushed by the governor of Shaanxi, Lord Sun, in Heishuiyu, Shaanxi, and the whole army was annihilated, and Gao Yingxiang was captured alive." As he spoke, he handed over the Tang newspaper.

"Sure enough, it's a great event," Shoufu Wen Tiren said, "Since Gao Yingxiang is dead, there is nothing else to worry about, and the thieves are just around the corner!" ”

"Lai has Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and other dry cities!" Cabinet Deputy Assistant Xue Guoguan said. Speaking of this, thinking of Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Yuanhua, he was a little gloomy, "I have someone in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Lord Hong's plea is to execute on the spot or deport Jingshi." Cao Huachun said.

Chongzhen had a smile on his face, "Spread the decree, capture the thief alive, see the supervision and dispatch, and the soldiers will use their lives." Hong Chengchou added the palace to protect the book, and Sun Chuanting added one level first, and the matter was peaceful. The rest of the people will find out their merits and award them according to their achievements. ”

"Yes." Cao Huachun said, "What about the thief?" ”

"Again," Chongzhen said according to his own train of thought, "The thief has collapsed, and the remnants are still there, so we still have to take the camera to suppress it, and we must play it clearly, and don't go back again!" As for the thieves,"

Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said: "Solve the Jingshi, allocate heavy troops along the way to guard against it, don't be careless!" That Gao Yingxiang, parade the streets! Ling Chi! ”

turned to Liu Zunxian again, "The joint work of the company just mentioned will be handled in accordance with the articles of association you drafted." ”

Wang Yue's company is good, Neiku has an extra entry, of course Chongzhen has to agree.

"The old minister obeys." Liu Zunxian said.
