It turned out that in order to learn the Chinese characters of the Ming Dynasty, Li Hongfei had read a large number of Ming Dynasty books in one month, including "Tiangong Kaiwu - The First Volume". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The first volume of Tiangong Kaiwu records the cultivation and processing methods of cereals, beans and hemp, the weaving and dyeing techniques of silk, cotton and ramie, and the processes of salt and sugar making.

The contents of the middle volume include the production of bricks and ceramics, the construction of vehicles and ships, the casting and forging of metals, the mining and firing of coal, lime, sulfur and alum, as well as oil extraction and papermaking methods.

The second volume deals with the mining and smelting of metal minerals, the manufacture of weapons, the production of pigments and koji, and the collection and processing of pearls and jade.

"Tiangong Kaiwu" was first published in 1637 (the tenth year of Chongzhen), because Song Yingxing was busy with official affairs at that time, he only wrote the first volume, and the remaining middle and second volumes were written after his resignation in 1644.

Most of the contents of the first volume belong to the knowledge of agriculture and handicrafts, so the imperial court did not pay much attention to it at this time.

If it weren't for Li Hongfei's coming from later generations, he was familiar with the book "Heavenly Creations" and knew that it would be a strange book in the future, he would not have dared to draw conclusions easily just after reading the last volume!

Li Hongfei reads books, most of them only know their books, but they don't know their people, Bi Maokang, who wrote "Illustrated Weapons of Weapons" before, Li Hongfei also doesn't know who he is or whether he is still alive, so when Wang Chengen talks about Song Yingxing, Li Hongfei will look confused.

Li Hongfei was careless, but Wang Chengen, as Zhu Youzhen's favorite minister, naturally had to know how to observe words and feelings, and the "immortals" all respected this book so much, and its author must be a person with great talent, so after Wang Chengen officially became the supervisor of Shangdong Factory, he ordered his subordinates to find the author of this "Heavenly Creation".

Fortunately, Li Hongfei admires inventors and scientists, otherwise if he is a geisha who admires Qinhuaihe, this Wang Chengen may really pimp him..........

"The author of "Heavenly Creation"? That's talent! When will it arrive? Li Hongfei was impatient.

"Tiangong Kaiwu" is the world's first comprehensive work on agriculture and handicraft production, is a comprehensive scientific and technological work in ancient China, some people also call it an encyclopedic work, foreign scholars even call it "the encyclopedia of Chinese craftsmanship in the 17th century".

If Bi Maokang is an expert in weapons research, then Song Yingxing is an all-rounder in agriculture and chemical industry!

Aside from agricultural technology, Song Ying Xingguang was an industrial achievement, and he was definitely the first person in the Ming Dynasty at that time.

Song Yingxing is the world's first scientific discussion of zinc and copper-zinc alloy (brass) scientists, he clearly pointed out that zinc is a new metal, and for the first time recorded its smelting method, which is one of the important achievements in the history of ancient metal smelting in China, making China for a long time the only country in the world that can smelt zinc on a large scale.

And the copper-zinc alloy is even more terrible, you must know that the cartridge casings of the rear-loading rifle are basically brass cartridge casings.

Because brass has a certain strength, it can also withstand high temperatures, and can tolerate a certain degree of elastic deformation without breaking, and the toughness is good enough.

And what Song Yingxing synthesized is this copper-zinc alloy.

If he cooperates with weapons expert Bi Maokang, maybe the two of them will work together to hammer out the rear-loading flintlock pistol more than 100 years in advance, such a talent, can Li Hongfei not be moved.

"Sir, don't worry, Dongchang Fanzi has already passed the book the day before yesterday, and it is estimated that within ten days, Lord Song will be able to arrive in Suzhou." Wang Chengen said.

"Father-in-law, I remember your favor, he has a chance one day, and this official will repay him." Li Hongfei said gratefully.

Wang Chengen was waiting for this sentence, he tried so hard to help Li Hongfei, not because the other party had the title of "immortal".

Although he is just an immortal with no mana, even Zhu Youzhen has to sell Li Hongfei's face, and there are countless tricks in the court, Wang Chengen is now a big trick, and he will be planted if something happens one day, so he has a good relationship with Li Hongfei and sells personal favors, maybe it will be of great use in the future.

The benefits that should have been obtained, Wang Chengen was not willing to stay longer, after all, even the tea was so shabby, and the banquet in a while might not be much better, so after a few hurried greetings, he ordered his subordinates to load the 500,000 taels of silver prepared by Li Hongfei into the car, and then set off to leave.

It's good to have a ride, if this salary is escorted by Li Hongfei, the back-and-forth expenses need a lot of money, not to mention, in case there is a mistake along the way, he has no place to cry.

And Wang Chengen is different, he is a messenger, and he is escorted by local governments all the way, so he doesn't have to worry about safety at all.

After sending Wang Chengen away, before she had time to take a breath, Qi Hongying, the general soldier of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, came to Yamen again, and this time she brought Chen Yuanyuan with her.

"It's better to come early than to come by chance, and I'm worried that there is no one to help eliminate a table of food!" Li Hongfei greeted with a smile.

The meal was arranged a long time ago, who knew that Wang Chengen didn't eat, and now that Li Hongfei has just become a bigwig in Suzhou, the officials were a little uncomfortable for a while, how dare they sit at the same table with Li Hongfei to eat, and when they get off work, they all find excuses to slip away.

"Dare to treat us as if we were here to eat?" Qi Hongying said that after all, she did not shy away from it at all, and sat directly at the dinner table.

"The concubine has seen an adult." Chen Yuanyuan is as quiet as ever.

However, since the last time she called Li Hongfei's husband, maybe someone told her something, but now that she sees Li Hongfei, she has become a lot more angry when she says hello.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, my house is round and beautiful!" Li Hongfei looked at Chen Yuanyuan, and couldn't take his eyes off.

Chen Yuanyuan was shy by Li Hongfei's wolf-like gaze, and involuntarily lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

However, the more she looks like this, the more unscrupulous Li Hongfei becomes, anyway, she will be her daughter-in-law in the future, and it is not a flirt to take a few more glances now.

"Okay, you have to get tired of it when I'm gone." Qi Hongying couldn't stand it anymore.

However, Li Hongfei didn't pay attention to it, what a joke! If you leave, won't the beauty follow you, wouldn't it be stupid not to take advantage of the moment to take a second look?

"Hey, hey, hey! I'll get down to business! Qi Hongying was ignored and couldn't help but explode.

"What's the matter?" Li Hongfei asked subconsciously.

"I'm leaving!"

"Just take the bowl and leave? Isn't the food appetizing? ”

"I mean, I'm leaving Suzhou tomorrow and leading troops to garrison Chongming Island." Qi Hongying explained.

Chongming Island is in Jiangbei, because it is an important port, and it is the residence of the Ming Naval Division, so the imperial court can not give up easily, and it is also one of the few Jiangbei military fortresses in the Southern Ming Dynasty at present.

"Oh...... It turned out that he was going to lead the troops to the battle, don't worry, this official will personally send the general out of the city tomorrow........ Wait, you just said you'll get tired of it when you're gone? Could it be ......." Li Hongfei suddenly said in shock.

"That's right, it's cheap, you big pervert, Sister Yuanyuan can't go to the battlefield with me, she always stays in the General's Mansion, no one takes care of her, and I don't feel at ease, so if you think about it, let's send her to your mansion." Qi Hongying didn't have a good airway.

This guy doesn't care about himself going to the battlefield, but cares about where Chen Yuanyuan lives, and he is really a big pervert.

"It's long overdue to be arranged like this, Yuanyuan is my wife, what's the matter if she lives in her mother's house all the time!" Li Hongfei is talking nonsense in a serious way.

"Don't say too much, the saint said that if you don't defeat Wu Sangui, you are not considered husband and wife, you can do it yourself, don't think that if you become the king of Suzhou, you will go up to the sky with your tail up, and disobey the holy decree, that is a serious crime."

Qi Hongying's words are not only a knock, but more of a reminder.

Li Hongfei is now on the cusp of the storm, if she is not careful, she will be doomed, if she really can't help it, she really doesn't want to send Chen Yuanyuan over.

"Don't worry, this little thing can't bother me." Li Hongfei said with a wicked smile.

Isn't it just playing Jinwu Zangjiao, which is simply trivial to him.

"Okay, Sister Yuanyuan's matter is over, I'm telling you another thing."

Anyway, everything that should be said has been said, if Li Hongfei dies by himself, then it is no wonder that Qi Hongying is not to blame.

"Listen to Guo Sheng, you have a very good set of training, it just so happens that I am also recruiting troops here recently, but it's a pity that the saint is in a hurry, Chongming Island may fight with the enemy at any time, it is not suitable for training, I want to put the newly recruited 20,000 soldiers in Suzhou, you help train first."

"I don't take advantage of you, I am responsible for all the expenses needed to train new soldiers, and I will also pay an extra five thousand soldiers for training as compensation for your help in training." Qi Hongying said the second purpose.

Qi's army is very famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now Qi Hongying reorganizes the Qijia army, and the squires in both places are strongly supported.

"You really didn't take advantage of me, but I helped you train recruits and collect money, so wouldn't that take advantage of you?" Li Hongfei said.

Just training recruits, you can get 5,000 soldiers' training salary, what is the difference between this and pie in the sky?

Qi Hongying really doesn't have time to train soldiers?

You must know that Li Hongfei now has few generals at all, Guo Sheng, who is responsible for training recruits, was originally Qi Hongying's deputy general, if he really needs to train soldiers, he only needs to recall Guo Sheng.

But the other party transferred one of his fierce generals for free, not to mention, but also tried every means to give himself a salary of 5,000 recruits, isn't this taking advantage?

Li Hongfei knew with his toes that the other party was helping himself, after all, the three-year period can be said above, if Li Hongfei wants to develop the economy, he also has to train 30,000 combatable troops, and now he just helps train the troops, and he has 5,000 elites for nothing, which is a bit big.

"Phew! How do you speak, disciple! Qi Hongying blew up.

"Forehead........ It was you who first said that you took advantage. Li Hongfei looked aggrieved.

"Okay, why do you talk so much? A big man is still squirming and pinching, and this matter is decided. Also, let me tell you, if the trained recruits are not useful on the battlefield, I will not be the first to spare you! ”

After Qi Hongying finished speaking, she didn't wait for Li Hongfei to reply, and she didn't even finish her meal, so she hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

"I'll go....... This girl has a lot of personality! ”

Li Hongfei was forcibly fed a soft meal by the other party, and it was not good to ridicule, saying that she was an old girl.
