Zu Dashou also didn't expect that the victory in the Battle of Xinghesuo would come so quickly and so easily! His 5,000 cavalry had only run half the way when he came across the cavalry who had come to report the victory.

"My lord, Xinghe won a great victory, and won the first level of three hundred and sixty-one." The messenger of victory said simply.

"Quick, tell me in detail...... "Zu Dashou commanded.

"Three days after the general left, in the middle of the night suddenly killed tens of thousands of Tumuts......," the messenger recounted the whole story in detail.

"Summons the order for the scouts to expand the search area even further." When Zu Dashou heard the news, he thought that the main force of the Eastern Tumut people might not be far from him.

……

Just when the Northern Expedition had just sent troops, Sun Yunqiu had already made a compound microscope. The compound microscope was made in 1590, but Sun Yunqiu's compound microscope was more complete than before, and the magnification factor could reach more than 300 times stably, which meant that the compound microscope could be put into production in batches.

"Sun Yunqiu's invention of the microscope is a matter of merit in the present and benefits for the future, and I decided to give Sun Yunqiu the position of baron." Zhu Youxiao said happily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Sun Yunqiu kowtowed excitedly. He never thought that there would be a day in his life when he would be made a marquis, the Chinese pay attention to the glory of the ancestors, the wife and the son, today is a peak of Sun Yunqiu's life.

"Remember to apply for a patent." Zhu Youxiao reminded with a smile.

"No." Sun Yunqiu bowed and replied.

……

The news that Sun Yunqiu was named a baron by Zhu Youxiao for inventing the compound microscope was published in the "Ming Imperial Daily", and a person who did not make an inch of merit obtained the title just by inventing an item, which was definitely big news in this era, and became a hot topic in the entire empire for a while.

Many officials in the imperial court are opposed to this reward, which is another thing for them that Zhu Youxiao has done to break the rules. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a clear stipulation: "Those who do not have social and military merits will not be sealed." ”

Zhu Youxiao had long been accustomed to this situation, and he ignored all opponents. Only Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi gave an answer.

"My master, I have heard that the gunpowder of the Westerners was introduced to the West from Middle-earth, and now the artillery and warships of the Westerners have far surpassed the Empire, why is this happening? I thought that Westerners valued craftsmen, and the empire despised craftsmen for what it is today. Master, have you ever thought that one day someone will invent something that one person can do for hundreds or thousands of people? I hope that such an invention will be the first to appear in the Empire, which is why I must have promulgated the Patent Law, and I have decided that from next year, the Academy of Sciences will select an invention every year, and the inventor who wins the award will be awarded the baronial ......," replied Zhu Youxiao.

……

Deng Yuhan was the one who liked to use a microscope to see things, and the advent of the compound microscope made breakthroughs in his research. Deng Yuhan became the first person to discover the bacteria in this plane.

"Your Majesty, this is the figure of the tiny creatures that the minister has found, and the minister calls them bacteria." Deng Yuhan painted his findings into pictures and presented them to Zhu Youxiao.

"Bacteria?!" Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Deng Yuhan to use this name, "This name is good, this discovery is also very interesting, the Academy of Sciences is now running a journal, your discovery can be published on it, but there is still a manuscript fee for the selected articles." ”

"The minister knows that after the minister makes it more detailed, the minister will submit it to the Royal Academy of Sciences." Deng Yuhan nodded and said.

"You can invite Wu Youxing to study with you, he is now studying the plague, and the plague is caused by these bacteria." Zhu Youxiao said.

Zhu Youxiao's intervention made Wu Youxing start the study of plague ahead of schedule, and Zhu Youxiao believed that the discovery of bacteria would make Wu Youxing's "Treatise on Plague" make a breakthrough.

"No."

"And when you're studying bacteria, remember to wear a mask, the bacteria are tiny, but they can be transmitted through the air." Zhu Youxiao admonished.

"Thank Your Majesty for your concern, according to Your Majesty's proposal, you have made a batch of masks." Deng Yuhan said.

……

At the end of September, Ma Shilong returned to Beijing with 20,000 beggars from Myanmar and Laos, and the large and small Tusi from Mengmi, Mengyang and Laos also arrived in Beijing at this time.

For the toasts of the three places, Zhu Youxiao had different arrangements, and he decided to meet them separately.

Zhu Youxiao first met with the toasts of Mengmi and Mengyang, and for the toasts of these two places, Zhu Youxiao was not prepared to let them go back this time.

"Everyone, are you still having fun in Jingshi?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

"The Ming Empire is rich in the world, and the prosperity of the Beijing Division is especially better than other places, this time it is really worth the trip, it makes people forget to return, and they can't miss it!" Meng Mi Tusi said.

"Yes! The wealth of the Ming Empire, the prosperity of the Beijing Division, the ministers have long heard of it, and it is better to meet when you see it today! ”

……

Meng Yang and Meng Mi's toast could not hide their yearning for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and the voices of praise were endless.

"Since you all like Daming so much, I like Jingshi, I have an idea, I have decided to buy the land in your hands, and give you another house, so that you can live in Jingshi for a long time in the future." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao's words fell, Meng Yang Tusi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's family is all in Mengyang, if you don't go back, I'm afraid it will cause panic." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I will send someone to pick up your family." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"The minister is willing to stay in Beijing, the minister has always longed to come to Daming one day, and today I am fortunate to see the face of the Heavenly Empire, and the minister really wants to stay in Beijing." A toast stood up and said.

"Very well, what I promised you, I will definitely do." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" The toasts of Meng Mi and Meng Yang kowtowed one after another

At this moment, no matter how unwilling Toast was in his heart, he could only agree to Zhu Youxiao's request. Of course, there are also a lot of toasts in it who are really willing to stay in Kyoshi.

"When you return to your residence, write a letter to your respective homes, and I will send someone to bring your family members to Beijing." Zhu Youxiao admonished.

"No."

……

Zhu Youxiao would not believe the superficial obedience of Meng Mi and Meng Yang Tusi, Zhu Youxiao knew that some of these Tusi were just forced by the situation and had to bow their heads temporarily, even if they stayed in Jingshi, they would not be at ease, and they might make some small moves, Zhu Youxiao would never give them such a chance.
