Looking at Emperor Chongzhen cautiously, Song Yingxing said: "Your Majesty, did the emperor say in his dream that the ministers helped the court and the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Song Yingxing, blinked his eyes, and couldn't help but think of the evaluation of Yuan Longping in later generations, so he said: "You are the pioneer of the Ming hybrid rice industry, and you are the contemporary Shennong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 INFO has always been working hard and exploring unremittingly on the front line of agricultural scientific research, bringing green hope and golden harvest to human beings using scientific and technological means to defeat hunger. ”

"Your outstanding achievements have not only contributed to solving the problem of food and clothing for the people of Daming and ensuring national food security, but also set up a monument for world peace and social progress."

Song Yingxing looked at Emperor Chongzhen in a bit of a daze, what is this talking about? How come I can understand every word by myself, and when combined together, I can't understand a single word?

Emperor Chongzhen coughed, waved his hand, and felt a little proud in his heart. Feeling that the heat was almost over, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I know that you are very interested in farming and miscellaneous science, and I also value this aspect. ”

"As the so-called Shinong industry and commerce, many people say so, and I don't think agriculture should be put first. Only when the peasants have a harvest can they have enough to eat, and when they have enough to eat, they can do other things. Emperor Chongzhen looked at Song Yingxing with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "I just hope that you can solve the problem of eating for the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Although Song Yingxing's talent is very high, and it is also very many and complex, Emperor Chongzhen only values Song Yingxing's talent in agriculture for the time being, because there is really no way, and what Daming needs to solve is the problem of food.

"Solve the problem of eating for the people of the Ming Dynasty?" Song Yingxing swallowed a mouthful of spit, is he so powerful? How did you not know?

However, for farming and miscellaneous studies, Song Yingxing has a hobby that far exceeds ordinary people, and he seems to have a talent in this area, but he has taken up a lot of time in studying and taking the imperial examination over the years, and now he has no time to do these things.

"I know, you're still a lifter, it's okay, repeat it now, and take the exam again next year!" Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said without any care.

For Emperor Chongzhen, it is not a problem at all to solve the problem of Song Yingxing's academic qualifications, such as giving him a Jinshi background, but Emperor Chongzhen does not want to do this, which will leave Song Yingxing with regrets, anyway, there will be a imperial examination next year, so let him take the exam.

When the time comes, he will hype up his talent in the capital, and he will praise a few words in front of the examiner, not to mention anything else, a second-class jinshi is still no problem.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Song Yingxing nodded, and didn't think much about it, so he had to salute.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, looked at Song Yingxing and said, "You follow me!" Saying that, Emperor Chongzhen took the lead in the front, and said to Wang Chengen behind him: "Take me to the conservatory in the back, I want to show Song Aiqing something." ”

Song Yingxing didn't know what Emperor Chongzhen was going to do, so he had to follow obediently, with a little hesitation on his face.

The conservatory in the palace was ordered to be built by Emperor Chongzhen early in the morning, although it is not very large, but it is carefully taken care of by eunuchs and palace maids, which is very good. It's just that the firing of glass has not yet succeeded, and there is no good light transmittance for the time being.

Pushing open the door of the conservatory, a wave of heat is blowing in your face, and it seems to be a green world, which makes people's eyes shine in the winter.

Song Yingxing looked at everything in front of him, and the shock in his heart can be imagined: "This, here!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen didn't interrupt Song Yingxing, but smiled and waited for him to come back to his senses: "Here are the grains that I have collected from all over the world, and among them, they have been passed from Yangyi, and the yield is very high. I want to promote planting in Daming, but you also know that some things are not suitable for Daming planting, or not suitable for cultivation in some places of Daming. ”

Although we have the experience of later generations, who knows that the land of this era is different from that of later generations? Emperor Chongzhen is not sure of this, so it is best to find a professional person to do it.

These days, Emperor Chongzhen didn't bring anything from modern times, in fact, he was saving his own ability and preparing to get a batch of seeds.

Whether it is corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, sweet potatoes can be found in Xu Guangqi, and there don't seem to be too many potatoes. Emperor Chongzhen was going to vigorously promote potatoes, not sweet potatoes, because the growth period of potatoes was short, very short.

In the Xiaoice period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the temperature decreased, there was not enough time for plants to grow, so the plants with a long growth period did not reach maturity at all, the cold wave came, and when it was time to cultivate in spring, the weather was still very cold, only the land was very suitable.

The promotion of three-season rice in the south of the Yangtze River and the cultivation of wheat, corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes in the north were all arranged by Emperor Chongzhen.

As for Shaanxi and Shanxi, Emperor Chongzhen planned to develop the wool textile industry there, and later transformed into cotton textiles, which could not only develop the economy, but also serve as a tool for the united front. It's just that these are all plans, and now the imperial court has no money and no one to do these things.

What needs to be solved at the moment is the problem of food and clothing, the imperial court has no food for disaster relief, the army has no military salaries, and the foundation of the rule is already in jeopardy, so it is too early to say anything else. It's glass, Emperor Chongzhen is ready to urge the progress, this thing is not very difficult, why hasn't Xu Guangqi made it yet.

Song Yingxing understood what the emperor asked him to do at this time, and he was really a little excited in his heart, this is indeed the solution of the problem of eating for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Go down in history! Song Yingxing thought of these four words, if he could do this, he would definitely go down in history.

"Your Majesty, this is a big thing, and it is absolutely impossible to do it by relying on the ministers themselves." Song Yingxing saluted Emperor Chongzhen and said respectfully: "Please allow the emperor to find some helpers, the minister knows that many people have studied this aspect." ”

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and he directly sealed the official: "I now crown you as the right servant of the household department, specifically responsible for this matter, you choose the manpower yourself, the emperor of the capital I let you give you a big one, the spring for a trial planting, what is needed, directly open your mouth and I said." ”

Tobe right waiter? Isn't this official a bit big? You haven't taken the imperial examination yet?

"Your Majesty, the minister can do things, but this official can't do it!" Song Yingxing hurriedly said: "The minister is for the imperial examination, and he will be directly the head of the household department, which will definitely cause criticism, and I also ask the emperor to allow the minister to do this in white." ”

"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, as long as he could do things, nothing else mattered.

Song Yingxing breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, these people that the minister is looking for are scattered all over the country, and they don't have a suitable name, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find all the people!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen knew what Song Yingxing was thinking as soon as he heard it, obviously worried that his prestige was not enough, and he couldn't find all the people he wanted, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to Song Yingxing: "Leave the matter of finding someone to Jinyiwei, you can give the list, and let Jinyiwei take people into Beijing in six hundred miles as soon as possible." ”

After solving this matter, Emperor Chongzhen was also in a good mood, and then asked: "Then do you have a candidate?" Who are you looking for? ”

"Back to the emperor, the first thing the minister wanted to find was Wang Zheng, he was a Shaanxi man, he liked some things in the West very much, and he was friendly with a Yiren who claimed to be a German. Recently, his translation of the "Atlas of Strange Weapons" has been published, and the students are studying it in the past few days, which is very inspiring. ”

And such people? I didn't know it, Emperor Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen: "Let people look for it, I want to see this "Atlas of Strange Weapons"!" ”

Song Yingxing said a few more people, Emperor Chongzhen was not impressed, but he didn't care too much, a little disapproving, they were really as powerful as Song Yingxing said? In fact, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know that the people Song Yingxing said were not famous in academic history, but Emperor Chongzhen himself didn't care about it.

After a long talk with Song Yingxing, Emperor Chongzhen sent Song Yingxing away, and then went back to the palace and had dinner.

In the evening, Wang Chengen found the "Atlas of Strange Weapons", and it took a lot of effort, which was not easy.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't wait to read it, and even Emperor Chongzhen was shocked by the content inside, and "Strange Illustrations" was translated according to the dictation of the German Deng Yuhan.

The book is divided into three volumes, the first volume is a reinterpretation, the second volume is an instrumental solution, and the third volume is a diagram. Dozens of mechanical principles such as balances, levers, pulleys, lifting, and rotating weights are introduced. Wang Zheng also wrote his research experience into the "Illustration of All Instruments", which has eleven drawings of siphons, crane drinking, wheel excitation, wind curl, self-grinding, bicycles, wheel pots, substitute farming, and crossbow scattering.

"This is the book of mechanical engineering and applied machinery!" Emperor Chongzhen put the book down and sighed: "Such people can't be missing!" ”

This is a physics talent, Emperor Chongzhen really didn't expect that there were so many talents in the Ming Dynasty, it was beyond his expectations!

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen had an impulse in his heart, and was ready to set up an engineering college, or simply a royal university, these people were teachers, supplemented by the teaching materials he got from later generations, and a group of talents came out.

But thinking of his own economic situation, Emperor Chongzhen could only put down this idea for the time being, and these talents could not be used like this for the time being.

However, Emperor Chongzhen is full of confidence in the future at this time, if there are more talents, plus his own biggest talent in later generations, I believe that the rise and take-off of the Ming Dynasty will come soon.

"It's about to be the New Year, new year, new atmosphere!" Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood, stretched his waist, and said to Wang Chengen: "Prepare more fireworks for the New Year, I will set off fireworks with the queen and them in the harem this year." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will let people arrange it!" Wang Chengen nodded and said with a smile.

When Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood, a good news came again, Cao Huachun held a plate in his hand and walked beside Xu Guangqi.
