Chen Wen could understand Zhou Yueying's worries before going to bed, but he didn't take it seriously. After all www.biquge.info, she is only a little over a year old, and when she talks about marriage, even if it is just a marriage, it will take a few years, and no one knows what the situation will be in a few years. In this regard, Chen Wen only thought about her daughter's future as a mother, and soon fell asleep, after all, there are still a lot of official duties to do tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Chen Wen was on duty normally, before the completion of Nanjing's palace, the functions of Jinhua Mansion Huiji County Palace would not change, as for the future, it will also be transferred to Nanjing in batches, and after the final transfer, Chen Wen's original plan was to use this place as the location of Jinhua University Hall, and now it is obvious that he is going to change his plan.

After the war, it is about to be the New Year, but the work of rewarding and dividing land is still in full swing. The main area of this division is still Jiangxi, where the ownerless wasteland has been exhausted into the hands of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and part of it will be used to give local households in Jiangxi to tuntian, and the rest will be used to distribute military land.

As for Nanzhili, in order, it is necessary to control the administration of the newly recovered areas first, and only after the end of the measurement of acres can the division of fields begin. At that time, the honeymoon period between Chen Wen and the Jiangnan gentry should be over.

However, with the border between Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong's occupied area, the thoughts of the Ming vassal kings who were hiding in the center of the left began to stir up to return to Jiangxi. Before Chen Wen killed Zilharang, the threat of the Qing army marching south still existed, and the palaces, fields, shops, workshops, mines, and even gold and silver treasures were not as valuable as life, but as the news began to spread widely throughout China, it was not only the Manchus and those officials who fell in despair, but also their minds were reactivated and began to take action.

"Great King, the Tingzhou side has stopped them now, and the reason is that it is necessary to verify that there are too many armed personnel in the body and accompanying them, which is easy to cause unnecessary trouble. But those vassal kings were arrogant, saying that even the king could not stop them from returning to the fiefdom, and the Tingzhou garrison and government were even less qualified. ”

Zhang Jun was filled with indignation, these contents were reported by the Military Intelligence Department and the Supervision Department, and the Tingzhou Mansion was also tactful, but the garrison was full of dissatisfaction and even hostility towards the descendants of these Zhu families.

"Long Zifeng Sun, it's normal to be arrogant, and it's a shame to not let Ben Shuai kneel to greet them. Otherwise, if someone filed a complaint in front of the emperor, the emperor would not have to cut off the head of Ben Shuai. When the time comes, will Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law not be allowed to enter the teaching workshop to sing? ”

The emperor can control Chen Wen now? It's a big joke! Emperor Yongli is now under house arrest by Sun Kewang in the place of Anlong Qianhu, and he doesn't even have personal freedom, like Chen Wen, the first strong clan in the Southern Ming Dynasty, it's too late to win over, or even curry favor, even if those distant relatives dare to hand over the paper, they will be imprisoned, how can they take advantage of this to find trouble with Chen Wen, when the hundreds of thousands of iron armor in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming are all vegetarians?

However, Zhang Jun has been by Chen Wen's side for many years, and such anger is extremely rare, even if he knows that Chen Wen has no habit of being angry with others, but the trembling in his heart still can't be avoided.

"Dashuai, with all due respect, when our Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Tartar princes fought bloodily, these guys shrank in the center and left, and now they jump out, it's really hateful. If they had not sent someone to do it, anyway, Fujian had never been short of hungry Tartars, bandits, and pirates, and the situation there was complicated now, and no one spoke for them after they were slaughtered. ”

In the room, there are two people, Chen Wen and Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun is still Chen Wen's personal soldier captain, the relationship between the two is one glory and one loss, the return of the vassal king of Jiangxi, and the interests of the damaged Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies are not only the interests of Chen Wen, but also the interests of their generals and soldiers. Dealing with the enemy, naturally does not mind responding in the most drastic way.

"No fists, no courage, but a group of hot potatoes. Don't ignore them for the time being, the land is in our hands, what can they do if they don't let them enter, just point to a group of nursing homes and still beat the garrison? ”

Chen Wen had previously gone to the Song Shu and asked to transfer the assets of several palaces in Jiangxi to the military, but the Song Shu did not get approval, saying that it was good, but it would not be sent in China. This is Sun Kewang's handiwork, all the government is controlled by him, Yongli can't do it even if he wants to be a favor, and Sun Kewang naturally can't let Chen Wen become bigger. It's just that Chen Wenwen didn't have any plans to wait for him, but he just took a formality, and the basic skills of this warlord were still good at cutting first and then playing.

The general trend of the Manchu Qing Dynasty sweeping the world swept away, even if it has now begun to decline under the efforts of Chen Wen and heroes such as Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong, but after the big wave, the sand pavilions such as the guard and the palace have all been destroyed, and Chen Wen has risen from the wreckage, and he can not let those sand pavilions be re-erected.

"It won't be long before the emperor will be this bad guy for us, because the emperor needs my Chen Wen's support!"

The resurgence of the king of Jiangxi vassal is not difficult to solve, but there is another thing that makes Chen Wen have to worry a little, and this is the biggest purpose of his recruitment of Zhang Jun.

"That guy has been getting a little restless lately!"

Zhang Jun nodded, and then replied solemnly to Chen Wen: "According to the report of the undercover agent sent to his home, it seems that this person and his father-in-law have been discussing the matter of revealing their identities recently. ”

This is a big problem, and with Chen Wen's current power, it is not difficult to control it and turn it into an advantage. But the problem is that even if this person is in control, it is a double-edged sword, and if he doesn't get it right, he will cut himself. Even if it is wholehearted obedience, as long as it is in Chen Wen's territory, the southeastern gentry will use it as a banner to confront the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, instead of the current state of scattered sand.

"Keep an eye on him, and once he really decides to do so, he will be directly and secretly imprisoned, including his father-in-law and his family. Be clean and never let the news spread. ”

"Please rest assured, the last general will definitely stare that person's family to death, and never let them jump out to make trouble for the handsome."

Zhang Jun is gone, and Chen Wen needs to focus more on today's official business. Compared with yesterday, the focus of today's work is more on military affairs, and as for the things discussed with Zhou Yueying yesterday, the final completion will be made after today's shift before it can be put into discussion at the meeting, and even officially implemented.

Compared with Nanzhili, the gentry forces in Zhejiang and Jiangxi have suffered a lot of blows in recent years, especially in Jiangxi, the war lasted until the establishment of the Nanchang shogunate did not end, and with Chen Wen's recovery of Jiangxi, in the following days, the people's livelihood was restored, and the gentry class did benefit, but compared with the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming military groups and local homesteaders, it was still very different.

Chen Wen stationed troops in various places to guard against not only the Qing army, other Ming troops, and local bandits, bandits, and pirates, but more importantly, to guard against the gentry class. After this period of development, the balance of forces in some areas has changed to a certain extent, so there is a plan to reduce the number of troops stationed in some areas.

Now the plan has already begun to be implemented, some of which have been transferred to the newly occupied territories, while others have been reorganized into new divisional or battalion units as the army expands.

According to the plan, the newly formed units at the level of the three divisions -- the Minzhong Division, the Yuhang Division, and the Jiangdu Division -- have completed the replenishment of troops and weapons and equipment, and are now conducting running-in training in Quzhou, Nanchang, and Nanjing.

Among these three divisions, there are a total of five old battalion leaders, namely Pujiang, Lishui, Chun'an, Yushan and Rui'an, among these five battalions, the first three are in the Yuhang Division, the latter two are in the Minzhong Division, and the Jiangdu Division is a new unit.

The battalion heads, which had existed before the divisional units began to be formed, were thus all divided into divisions. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is natural that the troops with veteran combat battalions are stronger, but the Jiangdu Division has no combat mission for the time being, and is only responsible for assisting the Jinhua and Yongjia Second Divisions in Jiangbei and the local garrisons to assist in the defense.

After reviewing the reports sent by the various ministries, Chen Wen rode his horse to the workshop of the Military Industry Department outside the city.

Today's hydraulic workshop of the Department of Military Industry has occupied a large area along the Dongyang River, huge water wheels and wind blades rotate in the distance, driving the operation of machinery, and the sound of forging hammers hitting steel comes and goes, which can be heard from afar, and the closer you go, the clearer it is.

Due to the needs of the operation, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming military groups have made every effort to cultivate the military industry department, which is a big money-burner, but other regions have not been able to dump weapons and equipment at all. The largest, and almost only, arms deal is no longer available to the target, and it is obviously impossible to replicate the method of the state supporting the military industry, waging wars, dumping trade, and finally supplementing the country to achieve a surge in overall strength.

However, burning money is burning money, and its role is very obvious in the war, and the armor and strength of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang have been crowned in East Asia. The large-scale manufacturing and use of hydropower, wind power, and even animal-powered machinery has also made the technology mature, and now it can not only maintain its advantages, but also move forward in the direction of military to civilian use, and then drive the development of industrialization.

Industry is a bottomless pit of burning money, but after the accumulation in the early stage, its profits will not be reached in the previous decades or even centuries. And now, with the rise of new workshops in various places, the development is about to enter the fast lane, and Chen Wen's expectations for this are no longer understandable to ordinary people.

"What does Mr. Fang think?"

Fang Yizhi was born in a Tongcheng family, his ancestors and fathers were high-ranking officials, from a political point of view, the Fang family from his father to Fang Yizhi himself, are all members of the Donglin Party, Fang Yizhi is one of the founders of the Restoration Society, and is one of the famous four sons, which can be said to be the core members of the Donglin Party.

Unlike the vast majority of Donglin juniors who are keen on empty talk and tend to focus on ideas academically, Fang Yizhi has unique insights in Western studies and basic sciences while being knowledgeable.

However, like other scholars of this era, in the face of the changes in the dynasty, he chose to be loyal to the Ming court, not only in Beijing but still refused to be loyal to Li Ziyuan, and later the Yongli Dynasty was captured by the Qing army and would rather die than give in, and later relied on becoming a monk to have the opportunity to return to his hometown.

His human nature is strong, Chen Wen and Southeast Shilin have been not on good terms for a long time, so he is reluctant to come, and this time he only came to Jinhua because he wanted to come to visit Song Yingxing and discuss academic issues with him. However, when Chen Wen learned of the existence of such a person, he suggested that Song Yingxing take him to visit the hydraulic workshop on the bank of the Dongyang River. Who knew that after seeing the large-scale mechanical production with his own eyes, this person actually developed a mechanical obsession like Chen Wen, and for several days, he watched those machines run without sleep or food, almost to the point where he never got tired of watching them.

Chen Wen asked, but Fang Yizhi seemed to be still pondering what was in front of him, and did not answer immediately. In this regard, the soldiers around Chen Wen, and even the officials of the water power workshop, all looked at each other angrily, this nerd even dared to treat the king of the county lightly, which was really hateful.

In contrast, Chen Wen was a little unimpressed, and followed Fang Yizhi's gaze to the hydraulic forging hammer that he had seen countless times, but it was also never tired of looking at. The hammer was hammering the iron at a very fast speed, and the iron was hammered into the rough shape of the parts at an unimaginable speed by man, and then the craftsman threw it into the basket of the trolley to carry out the next step of the forging work.

The machine-to-machine is divided into a few or dozens of steps, and the machines are controlled by professionally trained craftsmen, each of which carries out only one type of processing. Although the mechanical work of craftsmen is boring, the defective rate is greatly reduced, and the production efficiency is naturally further improved.

After a long time, Fang Yizhi sighed, and then noticed that Chen Wen was beside him. However, this time, compared with the simple awe of strength and status when they met for the first time, there was more respect for knowledge and ideas in his eyes.

"My generation studied Western studies, firstly, because of interest, and secondly, because of the desire to benefit the people and prosper the Ming Dynasty, but the dynasty did not become strong and prosperous because of this. It is no accident that the king has this great power to be able to conquer the king and recover almost the entire southeast of the country. ”

"Mr. Fang praised falsely, such a climate here is not only the handwriting of this king, but also the hard work of the officials and craftsmen of the Military Industry Department. The weapons and armor of the king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all derived from this, and more importantly, the production of machinery by machinery, although due to the existence of tolerances, always requires more experienced craftsmen to finish to complete the assembly, but the production efficiency has been improved. Even if weapons and armor are not mentioned, the production of civilian materials by machinery in the future can greatly improve the living conditions of the people. ”

Regarding the large-scale mechanical chemical workshop supported by Chen Wen, Fang Yizhi has also heard Song Yingxing mention it, and he is even more aware of the huge impact that a substantial increase in output may have on society. At this moment, it is the eve of the arrival of the great change, not only in terms of productivity, but also in terms of ideology, along with the growth of productive forces, and more industrialized progress.

"I've heard that the production of weapons and armor can be seen in the past few days, and other workshops can also imagine it. Over the years, the king has been able to consistently reduce taxes and provide relief to the affected areas, and I think that these workshops will also improve the living standards of the people. ”

Hearing this, Chen Wen smiled and said: "Sage Cloud, if you are in a hurry, you know etiquette. The way of government should be people-oriented, and the way to improve the people's living standards is not only to reduce the burden, today we can use machinery to produce more goods, and tomorrow we can also use industrial breeding and planting methods to farm grass and raise livestock. If one day, even ordinary people can eat meat every day, then there will be no rebellion, and the world will not fall into the situation it is today. ”

Fang Yizhi's compliment is a tribute to Chen Wen's good use of machinery, and it is also because Chen Wen and the southeastern gentry are still in the honeymoon period, and the contradictions between the two sides are covered up by the evil laws of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But after listening to Chen Wen's story, Fang Yizhi's heart was surging and could not be expressed in words, especially the last sentence, for his father who was impeached for the failure to encircle and suppress the Liukou and almost died, for Li Zicheng's subordinates who were beaten to the point of "seeing the two condyles", and seeing that the Manchus were able to enter the customs after defeating the Dashun army, it can be said that a sentence goes straight to the most vulnerable place in his heart.

Fang Yizhi couldn't help himself for a long time, and Chen Wen didn't speak, still admiring his "beloved" machinery to make one piece after another of raw materials into the shape needed for this process. It wasn't until a long time later that Chen Wen took out a prism and handed it over to Fang Yizhi.

"This king has read Mr. Fang's "Physics Knowledge" and knows that Mr. Fang has a study of optics, and this little Mr. Fang can take it to enjoy. In addition, Ben Wang suggested that Mr. Fang go to the place where the military doctor was trained, and several students there had modified a device called a microscope, which was very interesting to see many things that were not visible to the naked eye. ”
