Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it, when he heard Empress Zhou's call for change, he came back to his senses, and he didn't care, and said with a smile: "What did the queen say, I was stunned for a moment just now, and I didn't hear it." Oh yes, let's go in and talk! ”

At this time, he was in a very good mood, and stepped forward to hold Queen Zhou's hand and walked into the palace.

At the same time, on the side of Fengtianmen Square, as the officials retreated, the crowd that had been waiting for a long time had also exploded.

"What, Yan Shenggong proposed to the emperor to add scientific and technological knowledge to the imperial examination?"

"How can Yan Shenggong be like this, is he crazy? Is he still a Divine Father? ”

"Yan Shenggong must have been coerced, he must have been forced to say this? But what is this, the saint has clouds, mighty and unyielding, can't even the Holy Father of Yan do it? ”

“……”

The shock and disappointment of the sour Ru is simply incomprehensible. Many of them even sat on the ground and cried. Yan Shenggong, who was looking forward to being the master for them, actually stabbed them in the heart, making them unable to accept it. It is also thanks to Yan Shenggong that he stayed in the cabinet to talk about things, and did not leave the palace immediately, otherwise these people would not know what would happen when they were excited.

In addition, those scholars and craftsmen who support scientific and technological knowledge, after hearing the news, they were all overjoyed, and they even took the initiative to explain to those sour Confucians, thinking from another side, it can also be said to be mending.

"Yan Sheng Gong is really Yan Sheng Gong, his vision is different from that of ordinary ordinary people, he knows the power of scientific and technological knowledge, and he has done such a commendable thing! Admire, admire! ”

"How could Yan Shenggong be coerced! Aside from being interrupted without politeness, is that a threat? It's possible! Before Yan Sheng Gong finished speaking, he dared to blatantly disregard the imperial etiquette to threaten Yan Sheng Gong. It's just that the emperor was wise and beat them with a court staff. Tsk, rows of white butts, today is a sight. More than two hundred people faintly threatened, but Yan Shenggong persevered, admired, admired! ”

“……”

Of course, there are also some people who are more sympathetic, and when they saw those sour Confucians crying bitterly like their dead fathers and mothers, they also opened their mouths to comfort them: "Don't worry about this, even if you pretend not to see the power of scientific and technological knowledge, but even Yan Sheng Gong admits that scientific and technological knowledge is powerful, just go back and take a good look at the science and technology series, it's not difficult anyway!" ”

"Yes, Emperor Shengming, I also considered for you, this year, only those in children's schools will take the county exam and the government exam to test scientific and technological knowledge. You're still early, there's still time! Instead of being sad and sad here, it is better to hurry home and study hard! ”

"Confucianism and Taoism have not been abandoned, why are you so excited? Didn't the emperor say that the learning of Confucius and Mencius lies in thought; Scientific and technological knowledge lies in skills, and the two do not conflict, but complement each other. You can think of it this way, at least in the way of Confucius and Mencius, you have also put more effort than others, and now you just need to learn scientific and technological knowledge. ”

“……”

Regardless of whether these people in Fengtianmen Square were happy or sad, or how people in other places reacted after hearing the news, under the efforts of Emperor Chongzhen, scientific and technological knowledge was finally promoted with an unstoppable momentum, and it was already a sure thing to join the content of the imperial examination.

The so-called general trend of history is rolling forward, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it can derive its connotation. The wave of the Ming Dynasty, the trend of innovation, will surely shoot some people to death on the shore, and will also send some people to the sky.

The pigs that stand on the tuyere will fly, and it depends on whether they can stand on the tuyere.

And now, with the existence of the chat group system, the decisions made by Jingshi, and what happened, after the factory guard verified the news, spread all over Daming through the chat group at the fastest speed.

As this news spread, another news was also announced to the world at the same time. The emperor decreed that children's schools must be established in all parts of the Ming Dynasty this year, to the township level, and to the county level if there is no township. Age-appropriate students can attend school for free for one year. If the academic performance is excellent and the family is poor, the imperial court will also give subsidies. In other words, going to school can also earn money to encourage poor families to free up their family labor to study.

Of course, for now, the students here are still referring to boys. Although Emperor Chongzhen did not have the idea of preferring sons over women, the policy still had to be taken step by step, and girls going to school would definitely be realized throughout the country in the future.

The will also said that the imperial court is now limited in its ability and can only do so much. Later, the Ming Dynasty became more prosperous and powerful, received more taxes, had more money in the treasury, and the number of years of free education could increase. The emperor's goal is to make all the people of the Ming Dynasty, whether poor or rich, have to learn, everyone can read and write, and the Ming Dynasty will no longer turn a blind eye!

Both of these news can be said to be quite sensational.

Especially with the spread of the second news, those people who eat melons have all joined the ranks of supporting the new policy of the imperial court. Those who couldn't afford to read books don't talk about it, even if they could afford to read books, they can save a little money on reading, and they are happy. Or only those who have more money to read may complain that literacy is no longer their prerogative, but they only dare to say a few words behind closed doors. Whoever dares to go outside and complain about this new deal, believe it or not, will be knocked to death with a dark stick!

If Emperor Chongzhen didn't do anything before, just announced it, I'm afraid it didn't have this effect.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's majesty and strategy have been proved by many things, and his prestige is getting higher and higher year by year. What's more critical is that Emperor Chongzhen had actually been doing this before this. It is obvious to all that some wealthy places have already established children's schools and placed them alive there. Therefore, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen's new ambition came out, no one doubted it and resolutely supported it.

Because fools know that everything is inferior, only reading is high! Nowadays, with the addition of scientific and technological knowledge to reading, the meaning of reading has been expanded, and it is even more necessary to read.

By the way, Emperor Chongzhen also issued an order to the storytellers at those post stations, so that they could start to publicize the necessity of paying taxes in addition to telling stories. Whether it is useful or not, it is necessary to let the people of the Ming Dynasty know a fact, only when the court collects more taxes, the court can do more things, such as building more children's schools, such as increasing the number of years of free schooling, and so on.

The heat of these two topics has not passed, and a new exciting news has come out. said that the imperial court should re-register the household registration and count the population of the Ming Dynasty. Only the registered people of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as the people of the Ming Dynasty and can enjoy the benefits brought by the new policies of the Ming Dynasty.

Whatever you do in the future, you may have to check your identity at any time. If it is not registered, and the registration period has passed, once it is found out and there is no reasonable explanation, it will be distributed to the newly established provinces of the Ming Dynasty, such as the Tianshan Mountains, or the Mobei side, Liaodong is impossible, and North Korea may be possible. Anyone who dares to shield or conceal it, regardless of his status, will be seated together.

In fact, the matter of population registration is something that all dynasties have done. However, no matter which dynasty or generation, there are still hidden households. The more control the government has, the fewer hidden households; The control of the government is a little worse, and there are more hidden households.

Now that eight years have passed since the Chongzhen Dynasty, the influence and control of the government have undergone earth-shaking changes. Originally, the control was strong enough, but now, there have been policies that are beneficial to the people of the Ming Dynasty, as well as tax propaganda, etc., even if some people have not seen the power of the new statistical population, they are no longer recluses. Of course, there are still hermits, that's for sure.

At the same time, Hoi An, a port city directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty on the far side of Fuguo, has just lifted martial law. A new fleet is heading for Luzon, and the others are still doing what they should do.

In the cannon foundry, many people were still excitedly discussing what happened in the morning.

"See, the rifled cannon we built is amazing, Zheng Dashuai personally came to our cannon casting workshop to thank you!"

"No, Zheng Dashuai is a knowledgeable person, and the new sailing ships of the shipyard over there are only at the same level as Xiyi, but our rifled guns are much more powerful than Xiyi, so naturally I came to our cannon foundry to inspect and thank you!"

“……”

Hoi An's cannon foundry and shipyard were all developed from the hands of the Phrang Machine. From the very beginning, these two units have been competing with each other.

At the beginning, because of the Ming warship, to be honest, the technology was indeed inferior to Xiyi's ship. Therefore, after seizing the shipyard and obtaining the information on shipbuilding, the upper authorities paid more attention to the shipyard, and the cannon casting workshop was reduced to a supporting role for a time.

However, no one expected that after sending two cannon casting masters from China, they would take the lead in making rifled guns, which gave the cannon casting workshop another opportunity to raise their eyebrows.

Zheng Zhilong is a well-known existence for people on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty and the South Seas. This time, he suddenly came to Hoi An to accept the new warship and new artillery, and it was just a live-fire exercise, which made Zheng Zhilong praise the rifled gun again and again, which was a huge honor, not to mention that he came to the cannon casting workshop to thank him.

Because of this, most people here in the cannon casting workshop are very excited and are talking about this matter with high interest. However, there are exceptions. For example, in one of the rooms, a young man in his twenties, holding a book, reading for a while, buried himself in charcoal and writing on the paper, without participating in the discussion.

Someone looked up and saw it, so he greeted with a smile: "Yaming, the master is not here, why are you doing so hard?" It's rare to have such a happy thing, let's talk together! ”

Ya Ming is the character, surnamed Pan, Xiucai was born, a rare talent who likes scientific and technological knowledge, and was accepted as an apprentice by the artillery casting master from the Beijing Military War Bureau, and took it personally.

Pan Yaming's goal is also to become a master. According to his own words, his family is poor, and he really has no money after studying Xiucai. If you can become a master, you don't have to worry about money. And most importantly, he finds scientific and technological knowledge much more interesting than the Four Books and Five Classics.

At this time, when he heard his companion greeting, he just raised his head and smiled, then lowered his head again and went to work, and said at the same time, "You guys talk!"

His actions made his companion even more curious, and he asked, "What are you up to?" ”

When Ya Ming heard this, he raised his head again and said seriously: "Isn't it a pity that the rifling of the rifled gun is worn out too badly today?" I've always felt like this was a problem too. I want to see, how can this be improved? ”

Hearing this, the other companions stopped chatting and turned their heads to look at him one by one, very surprised. One of the fat men said, "How could this thing be solved, otherwise, the two masters would have solved it a long time ago." ”

"Yes, if it can be improved, the Jingshi Military Bureau will definitely be able to improve it. Our cannon casting workshop is responsible for the cannon casting of the Nanyang Naval Division. And this big war is about to start, and the imperial court will definitely send factory guards to tell us how to improve. Others chimed in.

The situation on the Nanyang side, with the Ming threat theory announced by Liu Xiang's island group, whether it is the Nanyang indigenous leaders or the Xiyi, they are all hostile to the Ming Dynasty and are faintly forming an alliance. And the imperial court, on the other hand, does not seem to show weakness. Those who care a little about current affairs can see that the Ming Dynasty is afraid that there will be a big war in Nanyang.

This point can be proved by the fact that the imperial court sent the master of the Beijing Division Military War Bureau to Hoi An, and directly built a ship and cast cannons in Hoi An. What's more, just now Zheng Dashuai also led a new-style naval warship to Luzon. Moreover, the grapevine said that there were warships from Fujian and Guangdong that were assembled in Luzon.

Of course, these people in the Cannon Forge aren't worried about themselves. Hoi An is here with heavy troops from the imperial court, surrounded by blessed countries, and is not afraid of the attack of those indigenous pirates or something.

Hearing the words of his companion's distrust, Pan Yaming didn't care, just smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a matter of thinking about it." ”

When he had said that, he bowed his head.

When a companion who was familiar with him saw him, he couldn't help muttering a little in his heart, so he ran over to see the situation.

I saw that on Pan Yaming's table, there were books brought by the master from Beijing. It is about the rate of fire of artillery shells, firing range, etc. It is said that the internal information compiled by the emperor himself cannot be seen by outsiders, but many people on the side of the War Bureau cannot understand it. Especially the parabolic formulas and whatever, it's even more confusing.

According to their internal observations, even the two masters who came from Jingshi did not understand the content of what the emperor wrote.

However, when they looked at Pan Yaming, they seemed to have eaten through the knowledge written by the emperor. Not only that, but in front of him, a lot of drafts were spread out, and they were written and painted with charcoal, which looked like a big ** case. However, if you look closely, it is different from the existing cannon!
