Chongzhen is not completely unconcerned about such a thing as firing at the clouds, after all, it is firing at the sky.

And Chongzhen felt that even if he didn't have any concerns, when the order was really carried out, the sergeants below might not dare to do so.

Chen Hongmian asked on the side: "Feng Nian, regardless of whether the method you said is feasible or not, do the sergeants really have the courage to shoot their guns to the sky and shoot at the sky?" ”

In later generations, the military and police fired warning shots into the sky and warned almost as a symbolic action, but Hua Xue never thought that the soldiers and civilians at this time would have such fear. But then Hua Xue had an idea: "It's not easy? You should be more familiar with the fool's routine than me? It was said that it was a gift for the dragon king, but the sky was too high for people to go up, so they sent the gift in this way. Just like fireworks, why not use this as a new way to worship the heavens? But as I said before, the limits of foolishness still have to be grasped. ”

The four of them looked at each other, Chongzhen nodded, and concluded that "this can be had." ”

Immediately, the four of them consulted Hua Xue's opinion on how high the fine sand needs to be hit, how to ensure that the firecrackers do not explode in advance, and Hua Xue knew the direct answer, and if she didn't understand, such as the details of making firecrackers, they asked them to ask the firecrackers directly to the craftsman.

Only then did the four of them react, Hua Xue actually didn't know everything, and she just specialized in the art industry, so her gaze at Hua Xue returned from looking at gods to looking at people. From Hua Xue's appearance, he recalled that he was only thirteen years old, and while the four of them admired Hua Xue's prodigy, they also looked at Hua Xue's eyes a little bit lovingly.

When the four of them had no doubts about this method, everyone's attention shifted to the manuscript from Songjiang.

Chen Zilong has attached an official document explaining that these materials are all manuscripts of the water conservancy volume in the "Book of Agriculture", accounting for about one-sixth of the total length of the "Book of Agriculture". Although the manuscript is not a manuscript of Xu Gong, it was also copied manually, during which Chen Zilong personally wrote it. There are also several volumes of reference materials related to water conservancy. Chen Zilong said that he sent a copy of the relevant materials that he had multiple collections at home. It is also thanks to Chen Zilong's habit of copying when he reads, otherwise many information books would not be able to get a copy.

In addition, there are general volumes that explain the "Book of Agriculture": agricultural books, field systems, agricultural affairs, water conservancy, agricultural tools, arboriculture, sericulture, sericulture, sericulture, planting, herding, manufacturing, and waste administration. It also shows that the government accounts for about one-third of the total. If Hua Xue feels that she needs a part more, she can write to him and ask him to sort out the part and send it over first. Otherwise, he will sort out the waste administration part first, and when Hua Xue has almost compiled the water conservancy part, he will send it after greeting him.

In fact, Hua Xue's original meaning was to compile and organize a part of each other, which could shorten the time for sorting out the whole book. However, Chen Zilong was afraid that Hua Xue would not have experience in this area, so he delayed the urgent task at the moment, and his private plan was to compile the current focus of water conservancy on two separate ways, so as to make a foolish plan.

Among several people, it is obvious that Wu Weiye is most interested in books, and he will also stay in Suzhou to compile the "Book of Agriculture" with Hua Xue, so he asked Hua Xue: "Chief Editor Hua, do you think we will directly sort out this water conservancy volume, or let Chen Zilong send another volume over, and let him sort out the water conservancy volume in Songjiang?" ”

Hua Xue has the entire book of "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" in the database, and it doesn't matter which volume he sorts out, so he immediately said: "Since he sent the water conservancy volume, this is indeed a top priority, of course we will start sorting out from this volume." Since Master Wu called the student editor-in-chief, the student was not polite and asked the university to respond. I have heard that Lord Wu has ten lines at a glance, and he will never forget it, and Lord Lao Wu has scanned all these manuscripts, but he doesn't need to read them carefully, so he will list a list for me first. I'll come to the government tomorrow to start compiling. ”

Wu Weiye nodded and flipped through the book.

Hua Xue asked Chen Hongmian again: "Dare to ask the scholars who are proficient in calligraphy, and the craftsmen who are proficient in movable type production have been summoned?" ”

The officials who went to Songjiang all went back and forth, and Chen Hongmi's preparations were naturally done: "It's all informed, and it's on call." It's just that even those few scholars are estimated to be able to do the work of copying, and if they want to participate in the compilation, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it. Aren't you going to invite other Hongru to compile it with only two people, Lord Wu? ”

Hua Xue affirmed: "Just the two of us." ”

He also explained: "Since Xu Gong has finished the draft of this "Agricultural Book", he only needs to sort it out, so the two of us are enough." This kind of thing is not afraid of few people, but only of laymen. Chen Zilong can find his fellow disciples to compile together, because almost all of them have been instructed by Xu Gong and have certain attainments in this area. If there are such people in Suzhou, it is okay for adults to come and help. If you don't have the relevant knowledge, someone like Master Wu who can remember it can also greatly speed up the compilation process, but it is enough to have one on my side. If you still know that there are people who can be remembered, you can recommend a few to Matsue as well, they may need it. ”

Chongzhen was puzzled: "When I read the books of the Hanlin Academy, I was suspected of not having enough manpower, what kind of routine are you suspicious of?" ”

"They revise books, and a lot of content needs to be written by themselves, so naturally they need a lot of people. The book is basically written. I just need to read them one by one, keep the right ones and revise the wrong ones. With Lord Wu coordinating the editing, this book will be completed. As for looking for those scholars, I need to check whether there are any omissions in some references in the book that I have not seen. ”

Chen Hongmi asked: "Then why did you ask me to recommend people to Chen Zilong?" ”

"There are a lot of them. I don't know exactly how many. But according to my estimate, even with the ability of Master Wu, it is okay to coordinate the manuscripts sorted out by three or five people, and no matter how much it is, it will be too busy. If Chen Zilong can find enough peers, and a few more to help co-ordinate, more colleagues will be able to participate in the compilation. ”

Wang Chengen was puzzled: "Then you alone can have as many people as them?" ”

There is a book in the Huaxue system, and of course it is confident: "Of course it is faster than them." ”

Wu Weiye was also surprised: "How to do it?" ”

Hua Xue casually took a book manuscript: "You look at the method of building water conservancy in this book, how can other people judge whether it will work or not?" Check the information, look for examples of predecessors, if there is one, you can judge, if you don't, you can't judge, you are stuck here, and it will be delayed. What about me? It can be inferred from the logic that this method will not work. If it works, it will pass, and if it doesn't work, it will be changed to a feasible method. Who do you think is fast? ”

Chen Hongmi said solemnly: "The stakes are very high, and it can't be child's play. If your direct reasoning is not good, how can you ensure that it is correct? ”

"Chen Zilong sent all copies, I guess he must be looking for someone to repair this water conservancy scroll together, and when I finish this volume, I will find him to bring the repaired part to compare it."
