After accepting three subordinates, Zhu Xiaoqi was in a good mood. It's a pity that he is only a grandson at this time, and no matter how the tiger body is shaken, not many people will get close to him. The palace is better, the eunuchs will move closer to him because he is the grandson, so it can go so smoothly in the War Bureau and the Siyuan Bureau. Outside the palace, it's dark. Like Jinyiwei, he doesn't have any acquaintances, even if he wants to pull people, he can't help it, so he can't meet and say: "I will be the emperor next year, follow me." In that case, he would immediately be imprisoned by his grandfather on the grounds of insanity or wolf ambition, and a glass of poisoned wine should be the best ending for himself.

Li Jinzhong went to Beijing and didn't come back yet, so he took out a piece of paper with Arabic numerals written on it, and began to clean up what he had done and what he was going to do. The first line reads "high-yield crops", and the following columns are corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, followed by Wang Tiqian and Xu Guangqi. The second line is written with "mint, telescope, clock, cannon", marked with Xu Guangqi, the third line is written with "weapon improvement", marked with Li Chaoqin, Sun Yuanhua, the fourth line is written with "maritime", marked with Zhang Qianfang, Li Dan, Yan Siqi, Zheng Zhilong, the fifth line is written with "army reform", and the bottom is written with Jingying, marked with Lu Qin, Zhou Yuji. The sixth line reads "Factory Guard", marked Wei Zhongxian (not available, 9,000 years old), Li Jinzhong (East Factory), Luo Yangxing (Jinyiwei). After I finished writing, I read it carefully again to make sure that there were no major omissions, folded it carefully, and sandwiched it in the "New Book of Ji Xiao".

Zhu Xiaoqi has always felt that the emperor is the master of a country, as Ah Q said, he is what he wants, and whoever he likes is whoever he likes. As long as the right people are used, internally, the peasants have food to eat, and externally, the military revolution is repaired to make the enemy fall to the ground and ask for guilt, then no one can shake his dynasty, and he can prosper the Ming Dynasty and be a virtuous monarch who can be famous for centuries in both culture and martial arts. That's why in his previous life, he argued with the Parallel Time and Space Administration No. 1 on the Internet, thinking that the emperor's good is everything. In fact, his cognition of the fall of the Ming Dynasty is not as clear as he thinks, but he has seen some names and some things in a few books and movies and television, and now, he is ready to use his own cognition to transform the Ming Dynasty, and he is full of confidence in it. With the help of the virtuous ministers of the Donglin Party, he should establish a new Ming Dynasty where the people live and work in peace and contentment, the economy is developed, and the politics is clear.

Li Jinzhong returned, and reported that the people had been selected, and that the stewards and eunuchs of the Beijing camp had agreed to send them on temporary loans, and that they would also be paid silver. Zhu Xiaoqi was very satisfied, and asked Li Jinzhong to remember the favor of the eunuch.

Li Jinzhong also brought potatoes sent by Xu Guangqi with a simple planting method. Zhu Xiaoqi immediately asked him to bring potatoes and planting methods to Wang Tiqian, and now he is just sowing autumn potatoes, and brought a message to Wang Tiqian, this crop is more important than sweet potatoes, we must take care of it carefully, find out the planting method, and make detailed records.

It was found that the three crops are actually very simple, like sweet potatoes, corn has been planted in many places before, mainly to promote, promote it on a large scale, especially in the north, because the situation of not being able to eat in the north is much worse than in the south, and of course it can also be planted in the southern mountains. I guess when the grain is piled up in the warehouse, people will not rebel! If you don't rebel against the Ming Dynasty, you can concentrate on dealing with the Later Jin, and of course you won't be replaced by the Manchus.

He further thought, should there also be an industrial revolution? What is the principle of the steam engine, I quickly recalled the middle school textbook, and I only knew that the teapot lid was lifted, and I didn't know anything else. This is very troublesome, I still want to be able to get on the train in my lifetime, but the steam engine can't be made, what kind of train can I take? It seems that he is not this material, so he can only find someone else to do it. Now that there is a shortage of people, you can't let Sun Yuanhua come again, weapons are still more important, first destroy Jiannu, and then it's not too late to get a train. He lamented once again that he had too little power and could not do what he wanted to do. Wait, I can only continue to wait lonely.

The days that followed were lackluster. Exercise every day and practice martial arts. Zhou Yuji thinks that now the grandson is reluctant to deal with an adult, Zhu Xiaoqi is already very satisfied, after all, he is only fifteen years old, but he is actually thirteen years old.

Occasionally go to the Siyuan Bureau to see the growth of new crops, various crops are growing smoothly, depending on the situation, this year's potato harvest should be good. Zhu Xiaoqi praised Wang Tiqian fiercely, and also put forward further requirements, especially emphasizing that the experiment must be strictly grouped, the conditions of each group must be accurately controlled, the experimental records must be detailed, and there must be no vague descriptive words, and it must be clearly described by numbers.

Occasionally, I will go to the War Bureau to see the situation of Sun Yuanhua's research, the fixed ammunition has been made in kind, a certain amount of gunpowder is wrapped in a paper shell, and one end of the paper shell is connected to the projectile, so when used, first bite through the paper shell, pour a small amount into the gunpowder pool, and then put the projectile and the remaining gunpowder into the barrel together, press it with a whole strip, don't press it too hard, and then pull the trigger, after the gunpowder is ignited, the projectile is ejected, which reduces the filling step, and the amount of gunpowder is fixed without exploding. According to him, the gunpowder in the powder pool is finer, which is conducive to improving the firing rate, and the particle gunpowder in the barrel will not ignite when used in the powder pool. Such a change could increase the shot rate to 68 percent, or even 70 percent.

Zhu Xiaoqi's standardization and assembly line production are progressing smoothly, Li Chaoqin and the little eunuchs are formulating production regulations, and in view of the problems that arise in the actual production process, they are formulating and revising, and the management regulations have been formulated and made public, the enthusiasm of the craftsmen has been greatly increased, and the production efficiency has been increased by 50% on the original basis. After the regulations are perfected, there should be a big improvement.

All aspects are progressing smoothly, which makes Zhu Xiaoqi feel very good. On this day, he took Li Jinzhong and Zhou Yuji out of the East Palace, firstly, to have nothing to do, and secondly, to help Yuanyuan enrich her snack inventory by the way. After shopping for a while, when it was time to eat, I found a restaurant.

Xiao Er asked: "Is the guest officer in the lobby or going upstairs?" "Upstairs." Upstairs is a private room, although it is not very tightly divided, but it is still a little better than the lobby. I went upstairs, ordered a few of the restaurant's specialty dishes, ate melon seeds, drank tea, and chatted. At this time, I heard a sound in the private room next door, and there was the sound of chairs moving, Xiao Er serving tea, and everyone taking their seats. After a while, I heard an excited voice: "After Salhu, first lose the original and then lose to Tieling." The imperial court appointed Xiong Tingbi to pass through Liaodong, Xiong Dazui did not think of recovering his homeland, and wanted to carry out his policy of sticking to the gradual pressing, not thinking about the suffering of the Liao people, and only seeking no fault is meritorious, and the people of insight in the court impeached him, the emperor was mediocre, and he did not listen to it at all, and it was painful! ”

Zhu Xiaoqi looked at Li Jinzhong and Zhou Yuji next to him, and the two of them were motionless. asked strangely: "This person scolded the emperor, but no one cared about it?" Li Jinzhong smiled bitterly: "It is common to scold the emperor, and some ministers scold even more, they are all scolded in front of the emperor, who dares to care!" I see, I had to shake my head.

I heard another voice say: "I haven't been in court for so many years, what kind of leg disease is it, who are you fooling?" Indulged in wine every day, he didn't care about the life or death of the people, such a son of heaven, Shoufu didn't dare to speak up, and all the scholars were waste. ”

scolded the emperor and scolded the minister, amazing! Wanli has a leg disease, Zhu Xiaoqi knows it, because he has seen his grandfather walking painfully after he was reborn, and many ministers also know it, and it is pure nonsense to indulge in wine, grandpa rarely drinks alcohol because of his leg disease, and in the past 20 years, he only spoils Zheng Guifei alone. These people listen to the wind and rain, and the state affairs are not in harmony, so they think that the emperor is mediocre, and the emperor is mediocre, he must be indulging in wine, and it has almost become a stereotype. There was a sudden suddenness in my heart, and I seemed to be similar to what they thought.

At this time, the third voice sounded: "The Son of Heaven is mediocre, the minister does not dare to admonish, the soldiers do not need to die, the reason for the defeat of this sincerity, but I think that there is another reason for the defeat of Liaodong, that is, I use the room lightly, and the slave likes to use the room." Li Yongfang's dog thieves in the battle of Fushun were connected to Jiannu, and the whereabouts of our army during the Salhu period were known to the enemy, and the original Tieling was broken by spies. Jiannu is cunning, and I don't use it and don't prevent it, the reason for the failure must be investigated. This man has a point, and the voice is somewhat familiar. Li Jinzhong said softly: "Zhang Cheng, they should be the students of Guozijian." ”

At this time, the fourth voice said: "Brother Zhang's words are very good, and the slaves are cunning, and we should also use cunning against him, and the cunning is even more than him, then its terrain, troops, weapons, and layout are all under my control, and I can contact the righteous people, kill their spies, and plot against the people who cherish the court, and use the gap between the slave chiefs to reap the benefits of the fishermen." Meat eaters despise, mislead the country and the people, just for the black yarn on the head, not to investigate the root of the defeat, but unfortunately our scholars, can only sigh here, hate to kill all the slaves, in order to comfort the death of Liaodong! ”

Other people praised one after another: "Brother Liu is talented, but it's a pity that traitors are rampant in the DPRK and China, and we have no way to serve the country, so what can I do!" ”

At this time, the wine and food came up, Zhu Xiaoqi listened to the discussion next to him while eating, and felt that Zhang Cheng and Brother Liu were thoughtful and reasonable, and the others were mostly trolls, and they only knew how to scold the court, but the constructive opinions and suggestions were not served at all. I thought that these two people could be accepted as subordinates, but unfortunately I had no way to accept them now, so I had to keep them in my heart first.

At this time, the wine and food next to it were also delivered, and between the staggered plans, I heard Zhang Cheng say that he would accompany his family to Biyun Temple tomorrow to make incense, and he would not be able to go to Yuquan Mountain to play. My heart moved, thinking of Baozhu's beautiful face and cute demeanor, and wondering if it was a chance encounter?
