The solemn and tedious activities of worshipping the altar of the shrine ended under the exhaustion of the civil and military officials. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Queen Zhou Yingyin stepped forward to wipe the sweat from Chongzhen's forehead with pity, Chongzhen smiled at the queen and said, "Queen, what do you see from this wheat field that has just been sown?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines only see the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the hard work of the emperor!" Zhou replied cautiously, although the emperor had a good relationship with him, Zhou obviously felt the change in Chongzhen. Women are very sensitive, especially the subtle changes in the person next to the pillow can be perceived.

"Queen, that's not what I see. What I see is hope! These freshly sown wheat seeds, like my reforms, have just entered the soil. When can it break through the ground, whether it can grow strong, this must be carefully cared for by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty! Chongzhen looked at the now desolate wheat field, and his heart seemed to be injected with new power. He thought of the reforms he was making and was about to make, and Chongzhen firmly believed that as long as he persisted, Daming would definitely change in a good direction!

The next day, in the Qianqing Palace, Xu Guangqi stayed after the court meeting.

"Lord Xu, I heard that you are very interested in mathematics, is that true?" Chongzhen looked at the capable Xu Guangqi in front of him, remembered everything yesterday, and was very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, this is just a hobby of the minister, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Xu Guangqi heard Chongzhen ask about this, although he was very happy in his heart, he was still very modest in words.

"I don't think so, mathematics is the foundation of all science, and I have decided to promote it in the future. I am leaving you today mainly to set up a department, which is called the Academy of Sciences. And the position of the envoy of this academy of sciences, I want you to take on the position first. Chongzhen directly stated his intentions.

"Academy of Sciences? Dare to ask the emperor, what is the main purpose of this academy of sciences? Xu Guangqi was very interested in the term Academy of Sciences, which immediately aroused his curiosity. He is not very interested in being an official, but he can arouse a strong desire for knowledge about new things.

Chongzhen continued: "The Academy of Sciences is mainly engaged in the research of various inventions, from small daily necessities to large ordnance and artillery, and I am ready to bring them under the jurisdiction of the Academy of Sciences. Xu Guangqi was not grateful for his appointment, Chongzhen was not angry, but the idea was very happy. Because what Chongzhen needs is such a pragmatic talent.

"This..." Xu Guangqi seemed to be a little embarrassed, paused for a while, and continued: "Your Majesty, many of these contents seem to be matters under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and it seems that it is not appropriate for the Ministry of Rites to intervene too much. ”

Chongzhen instantly understood Xu Guangqi's difficulty, the way to be an official is to do his own thing, his hand must not be stretched too long, otherwise in order to anger everyone, how to gain a foothold in the court.

Chongzhen took a sip of Longjing and said with a smile: "Lord Xu, I understand your worries. However, you don't have to think about these, the Academy of Sciences will manage the design and research, and the Ministry of Industry will manage the production and manufacturing, and there is no conflict. Moreover, I am here to give you a thorough explanation, and in the near future I will start to reform the Ministry of Industry. The management of the Ministry of Industry is too large and complicated, and it needs to be reorganized so that the efficiency can be improved. ”

When Xu Guangqi heard Chongzhen say about me, his heart was half relieved. You must know that it's okay to let Xu Guangqi do research, but in this court, the things that are going around between various officials make him feel a headache when he thinks about it.

In the final analysis, Xu Guangqi is a doer, he can't do things that are sloppy, and he disdains things that are contrary to the yang and yin, so above the court, he does his best to do things for the court, and he concentrates on academics when he lives in his hometown.

"Minister, you will live up to the emperor's trust." At this moment, Xu Guangqi understood that Chongzhen's resolute heart of reform would no longer shirk.

"Lord Xu, I won't say much about specific matters. Think about it for yourself, and then write a concrete implementation plan for me. In addition, it is important to consider innovation as the first element of the Academy of Sciences and the cultivation of outstanding talents. I'm not afraid to spend money, and I'm giving you carte blanche to dispose of it. "Chongzhen understands that in the Ming Dynasty, which is imprisoned by traditional thoughts, every step will be extremely difficult, so Xu Guangqi must be given enough power.

"Minister, thank you for the emperor's trust." Xu Guangqi suddenly burst into tears, and full tears poured into his eyes in an instant. These are tears of excitement, these are tears of excitement, and these are tears of hope!
