In the original history, Wu Zhiwang would replace Yuan Keli as the governor of Denglai in the near future, thus making enemies with Mao Wenlong. Five years later, he served as the squire of the military department and the governor of the military affairs of the three sides of Shaanxi (Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia), but suffered a mutiny in Guyuan, and finally committed suicide at the age of 77.

In this life, Wu Zhiwang became a professor at the research institute, and later served as the head of the new medical school, wrote many gynecological and pediatric works, and made outstanding contributions to the development of medicine in the Ming Dynasty, until he died of illness at the age of ninety-eight.

After Zhu Youxiao settled the matter of Wu Zhiwang, he discussed the matter of the First Council with the ministers, and finally decided to implement the retirement system in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and at the same time began to set up the House of Representatives.

The next day, as soon as he came to the Weapons Bureau, Sun Yuanhua came to report that he had made matches. Zhu Youxiao immediately went to live in the place where the match was developed, and a bearded Taoist priest wearing a Taoist crown proudly took out a match, which was more than three inches long and thicker than chopsticks.

The bearded man held a match, and with a stroke on a plank, a cluster of flames flashed on the match, and then quickly extinguished. With an embarrassed face, he took out another one, and after paddling it, he finally lit it.

He looked at the emperor proudly and said, "Li Qingxuan, the minister of Longhu Mountain, congratulated the emperor, and he has a lifetime of fire magic." ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you have made meritorious contributions, what about the students of the research institute?" ”

Two students from the research institute stepped forward and saluted: "Student Chen Youpeng, Zhang Mingxin has seen Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Youxiao reprimanded: "Didn't you say it in class? Objects need air and high temperatures to burn, and your matches are too thick, how can you light them in a while? Why not make it smaller. ”

Li Qingxuan hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to behave in front of Your Majesty, and he deliberately made a few coarse matches, and the others are thin." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Get up, don't kneel here." Take the thin one, this one is inconvenient to use, and the ignition rate is too low. ”

The two students took out more than a dozen matches and a small wooden board, and Zhu Youxiao took the match and scratched it on the board, and the small flame burned.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Make a wooden box, put the match inside, and coat the side of the box with phosphorus, so that it is much more convenient, in addition, your match can also be reduced, the smaller the better, one to reduce the cost, the second is conducive to carrying, and the third is to have a higher success rate." The R&D team gets half of the shares, and they negotiate to divide it, and if they don't share it well, they will be divided by Sun Guest. Half of the profits in five years, you can all get rich. ”

Li Qingxuan said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want a member, he just wants to ask His Majesty to write a plaque for Longhu Mountain." ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "You still have to give it, as for the matter of writing the plaque, you ask Zhengyi real person to come to me, and I will agree." ”

Li Qingxuan said again: "I have thanked Your Majesty Longen, but can I give my part to Longhu Mountain?" The methods used to develop this thing are all secret recipes on the mountain, and the ministers dare not take credit. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "As long as you are willing to do this, there is no problem." I have a lot of things to do in the future, you have to use your Longhu Mountain, you might as well bring a few more of your classmates to live in the capital, and by the way, please come to the capital to talk about it. ”

Li Qingxuan was overjoyed: "The minister will go back to the mountain and tell the master to come to the capital, and then the master will also send outstanding disciples to help the Weapons Bureau." ”

Although matches were made, it was very troublesome to mass-produce matches, and the most important thing was that Zhu Youxiao didn't want to do it manually, so he handed over the research on the match-making machine to the Ordnance Bureau. At the same time, let the eunuchs build a match factory in Zhangjiawan outside the capital, and recruit some workers to improve the formula while making it before the machine is ready.

The reason why eunuchs are used is because Zhu Youxiao wants to grasp this money-making industry in his own hands first. If you let it go now, the chaos can be imagined.

After seeing the match, Zhu Youxiao thought of cigarettes, so he asked about the development of the smoke machine. Sun Yuanhua said: "This has been almost studied, and it should be possible to make a better machine to make cigarettes within a month." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "The factory has already built the tobacco factory, and a lot of tobacco leaves have been collected, Song Yingxing and they have made paper suitable for cigarettes, and now they are making tobacco by hand, just waiting for you to make the machine." By the way, you produce machines and sell them to cigarette factories, and there is no question of free of charge. ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "Your Majesty, the Ordnance Bureau is Your Majesty's internal money, we collected money for selling printing presses to the newspaper last time, and now we also need to collect money for selling cigarette machines, but isn't this Your Majesty's industry?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "The Weapons Bureau can make money, can't I put less money into it?" The whole world is my industry, and the accounts of the various institutions must be clear. That way, I know how well they are doing and how much corruption is likelihood. ”

Sun Yuanhua hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for corruption to occur in the Ordnance Bureau. ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I believe in you, and I also believe that all officials will not be corrupt." It's just that I believe more in the system, a good system, implemented in place, can prevent corruption. That's why I want you to clear your accounts, and that's the first step in preventing corruption. ”

Sun Yuanhua said in despair: "Your Majesty, don't put the minister side by side with them, the minister just wants to invent more things, write a heavy stroke in the history books, there are many ministers, just the patent money is enough for the descendants of the minister's children and grandchildren to worry about food and clothing." ”

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "Look, you don't believe that all officials can't be corrupt, do you?" The Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Economic Investigation Bureau, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei are used by the imperial court to supervise officials, while the report box of agricultural cooperatives is for everyone to supervise officials. I've heard that you can deceive some people all the time, and you can deceive all people for a while, but you can't deceive all the people all the time. This sentence is too reasonable, so if you want to prevent corruption, it is not enough to rely on the imperial court alone, only let everyone in the world join the ranks of supervision, then even a small corruption will have nothing to hide. ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "Actually, the minister has been thinking about a question these days, Your Majesty is a saint, but why is he so holy that he is proficient in everything whether it is governing the country, building the army, improving agriculture, paying taxes on money, creating inventions, and teaching and educating people?" Could it be that God saw the suffering of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the heavens sent saints to the country? Your Majesty, you will become a new saint in the future, and you will be honored forever by the Hereafter, just like the Master. ”

All kinds of requests, thank you for your support!
