Since the late Ming Dynasty, the entire academic community of the Ming Dynasty has set off a frenzy of exchanges with the West, otherwise it would not have been Matteo Ricci and Xu Guangqi's co-translation of the Geometric Originals. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Many of the more open-minded scholars also began to learn to accommodate other ideas and advocated the use of natural sciences to compensate for Confucianism.

And now, under the impetus of His Majesty the Emperor Zhu You's proofreading of "strange tricks and tricks", this point has been further amplified, and the dignitaries and dignitaries in the court also like to discuss the principles according to some interesting scientific experimental phenomena in the newspapers.

After reading the traditional Chinese version of classical physics materials translated by Zhu Youxiao through simplified Chinese, the old editor of a certain Hanlin Academy also became interested in Galileo's free-fall experiment, and was somewhat convinced, and even went to the newspaper to express his own opinions.

As a result, this also aroused the opposition of a large group of students who disagreed with this view, and the two passers-by simply agreed to start this experiment on the highest restaurant pavilion in the capital.

According to the people in Dongchang, the capital at that time can be described as empty alleys, countless good deeds have gone there to watch, Zhu Youxiao did not order anyone to stop after learning about it, and let the people of Shuntianfu and the Terracotta Division do not have to stop it, and maintain the order of the scene.

However, later, Zhu Youxiao heard that it was the old Hanlin who adhered to Galileo's theory that lost, and it was a young prisoner who won the victory.

And the restaurant is said to have prospered because of this, because he always likes to go there to debate.

Nowadays, the speech of the court and political affairs is extremely controlled, but it is completely indifferent to these miscellaneous matters, so it is natural that there are more and more discussions about such topics.

Natural sciences, which had always been at the bottom of the stream, began to rise, and in the DPRK and China, science and technology under the direct control of Zhu Youxiao also began to make all kinds of new achievements.

Chen Le's head trembled and he saluted Zhu Youxiao: "Caomin, no, Weichen Chen has really seen Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youxiao shouted and asked with a smile: "Chen Shi, right, your name is really awkward to pronounce, I still call you the way your Song Yuan judged and called you." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao got up and came behind Chen Le's head and lifted the silver mirror covered with red silk cloth: "This is the silver mirror you made?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has completely mastered this skill, from sodium hydroxide to silver nitrate, and then to silver ammonia, the minister has been groping for half a month, summed up a complete set of processes, and asked Your Majesty to take a look."

As he spoke, Chen Letou handed a large booklet about one foot long and half a foot wide to Zhu Youxiao.

Don't be surprised that Chen Letou said these chemical words, after half a year of hard work, the reason why Chen Letou can become one of the few academicians of the Academy of Engineering, and from an ordinary old craftsman to the review of the Hanlin Academy, is indeed outstanding.

And not only that, but the brush characters written by him on the booklet are also beautiful, and his calligraphy attainments are no less than some Jinshi, and even the flow chart he draws is quite disciplined, and the image is easy to understand.

"Very good, it's finally not in vain that you have worked hard for so long, I have decided to give you a greater wealth", Zhu Youxiao said and ordered someone to call Gong Yonggu.

This Gong Yonggu is the concubine who serves Princess Yong'an, and the reason why Zhu Youxiao was able to notice this person was that he saw this person's remarks in the newspaper and became interested in his in-laws.

The reason is that this Gong Yonggu likes to make friends with literati and scholars, and he also likes to make a few shocking words, and one day he put forward the view that the decline of the country is not the sin of merchants, and the reason is that the great merchants are not the imperial court.

It means that all the blame cannot be imposed on these businessmen because of the heavy profits of businessmen, people are selfish, some big landlords and big businessmen will naturally strive for greater interests for themselves after having money and power, and they will naturally threaten the interests of the country, but if the imperial court is the biggest businessman, then there is no contradiction, after all, the interests of the biggest businessmen are the interests of the state, and in this way, the country will enter a state of foreign expansion.

As soon as this kind of trust point of view was put forward, Zhu Youxiao really felt that it was rare for him to have a confidant, and he immediately summoned Gong Yonggu, and intended to let Gong Yonggu be his commercial agent.

After all, this Gong Yonggu is not only a relative, but also his own person, and this person himself is a big grain merchant in the capital, so it is not difficult to take over his own business plan.

Although Zhu Youxiao has been suppressing the Jiangnan gentry class who represent the interests of merchants, he has also thought about relying on the small peasant economy to save the Ming Dynasty.

The development of the small-scale peasant economy in the Ming Dynasty has reached a dead end for hundreds of years, and the end result is either to be replaced by the Manchu Qing Dynasty or other regimes, and to restore the contradiction between man and land to two hundred years ago through a large number of massacres and redevelop the small-scale peasant economy, or to seek a breakthrough in this era of capital awakening.

And Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, could only choose the latter in order to maintain his rule, and he was not willing to die for Huaxia with this ancient empire.

"Weichen Gong Yonggu has seen Your Majesty!"

Gong Yonggu has been living in the palace for the past few days to exchange ideas with Zhu Youxiao, which also allowed Gong Yonggu to get together with his wife Princess Yongan for a few days.

In the Ming Dynasty, the role of the concubine was very aggrieved, and he could not fight with his wife like an ordinary husband and wife, and the general concubine could only meet with the princess regularly, and had to be approved by the female official.

And now, Zhu Youxiao directly ordered Gong Yonggu to live in the palace of Princess Yong'an, which is a small favor for Gong Yonggu.

"Get up", Zhu Youxiao said and introduced to Chen Letou: "Chen Letou, this is Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horses, from now on, I want to establish a Royal Industrial Company, and the first factory that this Royal Industrial Company will set up is the Royal Glass Factory, for what is a company, what is a factory, I have already told you before, it is similar to the workshop you often say, but it is larger and more complicated, and you also know that I mean this new transparent glass, you Chen Leper is responsible for finding this glass silver mirror, You also go to find apprentices, and you Gong Yonggu are responsible for selling to those rich dignitaries, how to make more money is your responsibility, do you understand? ”

"The minister understands!" Gong Yonggu hurriedly responded, he couldn't help but smile, with his years of experience, Your Majesty's glass will only make a big profit and not a small loss if it is sold.

And Chen Leper saw that His Majesty said that he wanted to give himself a great fortune and thought that he was adding an official to himself or rewarding him with a thousand taels of gold, but he didn't expect to let himself follow a horse master to run a factory, to put it bluntly, it is to do business, but his Chen family has been doing glass for generations, but he has never done business, which makes him feel difficult, but fortunately, His Majesty's intention is only to let him be responsible for making glass, so he is also busy learning the appearance of this horse master next to him, bowing down and saying: "The minister also understands." ”
