Chapter 607: Jin Ge Quenching Sharp Edge (Medium)
When the eight words "Congratulations for Daddy and Congratulations for Daming" came out of Ye Zhaohan's mouth clearly, Ye Yingwu didn't know that his eyes were already moist. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The child standing in front of him has grown up, and Ye Yingwu's impression of him is even when he finally saw the child in a circle anxiously in the snow, and when he was babbling.
The child has grown up, and he is about to enter the age of establishment, although the government and the opposition are still lamenting His Majesty's youth, but looking at these children in front of him, these sun, moon and stars in the future of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Yingwu can't help but feel that he is still going to get old.
But fortunately, he has nothing to regret, because he poured all his youth into the Northern Expedition, and those soldiers who he had high hopes for finally fought all the way to the north, all the way to Youyan, all the way to the Western Regions, and all the way to the South Seas. In just a few years, those who have expanded thousands of miles of land, only this Your Majesty!
It's just that if you really have any regrets, Ye Yingwu looked up at the table full of people who were silently watching him, and his wife and relatives were all together. Over the years, most of Ye Yingwu has been fighting in the south and the north, and the most unfortunate thing in his heart is that he has treated them badly.
However, Ye Yingwu knew that Lu Wanyan was just silently supporting him behind his back and fearing him, and never said that Ye Yingwu was fighting bloodily in front of him, and the back house would catch fire. Ye Yingwu knows very well that his requirements for his wife and concubine are the same as those for the army, quality rather than quantity, which means that these people around him are definitely the pride of the sky, it stands to reason that it is difficult for such a proud woman of the sky to be friends face to face, especially since this is a harem and not a mansion's backhouse, it has been full of intrigue and conspiracy and power struggles throughout the ages, but Ye Yingwu's harem has always been very calm, and since Lu Wanyan, it can really be called a harmony between concubines and concubines. This is not common in the harem of so many emperors in ancient times, if anyone knows, maybe they will crawl out from the ground to find Ye Yingwu to learn from the scriptures.
But Ye Yingwu himself knows that these smart girls just cover up all the jealousy, not only do they know that Ye Yingwu himself doesn't like any fights in the back house, but also because they know that Ye Yingwu's southern and northern wars are the foundation of the survival of the Ming Dynasty, and the survival of the Ming Dynasty is the foundation of the survival of this family. If your own man is fighting in front, how can there be a reason for the back house to be jealous and make trouble?
Stretched out his hand and rubbed Ye Zhaohan's little head, Ye Yingwu drank all the wine in the cup, and Ye Zhaohan was stunned for a moment, glanced at the cup, obviously Wanniang and they were in a hurry, and did not explain what the child should do, but Ye Zhaohan looked up at his father's actions, and he actually did the same, drank the water in the cup in one gulp, and shook the cup upside down.
Ye Yingwu smiled and sent his son to the seat in person, before sitting back, and said in a deep voice: "I am busy fighting outside, and my brother, sister and Wanniang are still supporting me in this family, and I have worked hard." Although there are still many people in the family who have not come, everything we can get has already arrived, so I am here to salute you with this wine. ā
Everyone present stood up, and Ye Yingwu's gaze swept over everyone, and the softest place in his heart seemed to be touched.
I can't say enough words, but I am with my family after all.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā--
General Mountain.
The sun shines on the mountains, and the shadows of the leaves and branches are sprinkled on the anti-gold fortifications that have been deliberately preserved and even repaired, and the wind blows, mottled and shakes, making a rustling sound. If it weren't for the pillars of smoke that rose from time to time and the shouts that could be heard from afar, I am afraid no one would have imagined that the green mountains on this side are the largest workshops in the Ming Dynasty and the heart of the entire industrial production of the Ming Dynasty - the Jiangjun Mountain Workshop Cluster.
A straight road was rebuilt on the basis of an official road that was about to be deserted, leading to the back of the mountain. The trees on both sides are tall and intertwined. In the mottled shadow of the trees, two railroad tracks can be seen above the ground, although compared to the railways of another time and space, these rails only have simple roadbeds, and there are not even sleepers, but no one who knows the Jiangjunshan system will question the role of these rails.
Iron and wood from all over the country were pulled into the workshops of Jiangjun Mountain by carts running on railroad tracks, and artillery, large quantities of guns and arrows that terrified the Mongols were also pulled out from here and transported to the front.
Now the carts running on the rails are still horse-pulled, but this is enough, after all, these rails can make the carts move quickly, compared to the carriages using wheels, the speed is much faster, and the load is also a lot more, and even as long as the horses are properly trained, even if only one or two people are here to drive, they can drive the cart forward, saving a lot of manpower.
This kind of rail running cart form, General Mountain is still unique, there are experimental components in it, after all, now the north and south front of the Ming Dynasty is still in flames of war, a large number of firearms and arrows are needed, General Mountain is now iron and copper is still unable to make ends meet, how to talk about laying such rails in the country. What's more, once this kind of rail is transported, the requirements for horses are very high, after all, the cart moves, the speed is very fast, unless it is the way that the Hexi horse with the Mongolian strong horse used in the general mountain is now used, it is even difficult for the ordinary horse to run over the cart when the speed is increased in the cart, and it is difficult to predict what will happen at that time, maybe the car will be destroyed and people will die.
Up and down the country, the best Hexi horses can be used to pull the cart, and this General Mountain is still the only one. But all the armies know that General Mountain deserves this honor, after all, everyone has been fighting with the Mongolian Tatars for many years and can gain the upper hand, in the final analysis, the equipment is strong, and it has been able to completely offset the advantage of the Mongolian cavalry against the Ming army's foot soldiers, otherwise I don't know what to do now, even if it is the Ming Emperor Ye Yingwu, who was regarded as a god by the Ming soldiers, the famous battle was also by virtue of the hundreds of flying thunder cannons, and later he commanded every battle that was hailed as a miracle, in addition to relying on the fighting spirit of the Ming soldiers, It is mainly the firearms that are relied upon.
For Jiangjun Mountain, for the craftsmen who are unknown in the Ministry of Industry but are the heroes of the Northern Expedition, no matter what the Qingliu celebrities in the government and the opposition say about these strange and obscene skills, the army is extremely admired and even admired.
Because without General Mountain, there would be no feats for them.
It is not much that Ye Yingwu has been to Jiangjun Mountain, because many new firearms are directly pulled to the front line after verification to deal with emergency battles, and sometimes even officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry will follow all the way, just because the performance of these new weapons is still unstable, if something goes wrong, they can try to solve it.
The division of labor of the Ministry of Industry is also very clear, Chen Yuanliang has been leading the team to run outside, and Guo Shoujing is sitting on this General Mountain, after all, Guo Shoujing is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, representing the Ministry of Industry, and it is not good to be outside for a long time.
Today, Ye Yingwu came to Jiangjun Mountain, which is definitely a big deal for Jiangjun Mountain, not to mention the whole Jiangjun Mountain, Guo Shoujing took the officials of the Ministry of Industry to wait on the official road to Jiangjun Mountain.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!" Without waiting for Ye Yingwu to restrain the war horse, Guo Shoujing had already taken the lead to catch up, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry behind him all stepped forward to salute.
Ye Yingwu has been fighting in the north and south for a long time, and the transfer of officials of the Ministry of Industry over the years has actually made a decision just by seeing his name and resume, so half of these officials of the Ministry of Industry present did not know him.
The two middle-aged men standing on Guo Shoujing's right side stepped forward and said respectfully: "Deng Mu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Ministers, see Your Majesty. ā
"The Ministry of Ministers and Ministers is careful to see Your Majesty."
"A few Qing families are flat." Ye Yingwu said with a smile, since Zhang Jian returned to his hometown from the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Guo Shoujing, who was originally cultivated as a Shangshu, naturally went up, and Chen Yuanliang, who was originally the right waiter, was promoted to the left waiter and continued to partner with Guo Shoujing. As for the gap left by Chen Yuanliang, Ye Yingwu thought of Deng Mu at that time.
It can be said that Deng Mu and Zhou Mi were personally promoted by him, but today is the first time they have met so closely, after all, at the Zhengdan ceremony or other ceremonies before, with the official positions of the two of them, they are not qualified to stand in the front row, and Ye Yingwu naturally takes a look at it from a distance at most. Therefore, Ye Yingwu also looked at these two people with some curiosity.
Deng Mu and Zhou Mi are actually thirty years old, and the two have a close personal relationship, this time they can be promoted by Ye Yingwu and serve in the Ministry of Industry together, which naturally makes the two very happy. In the time and space when Ye Yingwu came, these two brothers could also be said to be famous at the end of the Song Dynasty.
Needless to say, the book "Old Things of Wulin" has exhausted the prosperity of Lin'an, and also the miserable state of mind of a relict of a former dynasty, and he is also a household name because the article "Watching the Tide" in "Old Things of Wulin" was selected into the Chinese textbook. Ye Yingwu took a fancy to Zhou Mi's ability to write books and speak, so he led a group of scholars who were interested in machinery to be responsible for the drawing of drawings and the planning and design of the workshop, so that the production methods of firearms could be handed down, after all, thinking that in another time and space, for various reasons, many advanced equipment invented by the ancients were not circulated, and later generations tried their best to restore but could not do anything, Ye Yingwu had a feeling of heartache.
The wisdom of the ancestors cannot be passed on from generation to generation, only by passing on from generation to generation and improving from generation to generation, can they be worthy of the blood and sweat of the ancestors who invented them.
And Deng Mu as a careful friend, is a liberal arts and sciences, he found another way in the main body of Taoist thought, created an original knowledge, denied the feudal monarchy, and the thought has carried the independent and free taste of later generations, at that time it was definitely a stranger, and he himself has always called himself a "three-religion outsider", which is incompatible with the world, whether it is because of the rejection of most people in the world, or because of Deng Mu's own hobby, in addition to the study of article ideas, he is also quite proficient in machinery, Although it is not as good as Chen Yuanliang, who wrote books and said, and Guo Shoujing, who specializes in this way, he is definitely a grandmaster of the previous generation, but his ability is also stronger than the rest, otherwise Ye Yingwu would not have promoted Deng Mu to the position of the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and let him be the third person in the Ministry of Works.
Now for Daming, there is no shortage of money and food, and there is no shortage of enough troops to gallop the world, what is lacking is talent, especially in firearms, which have always been regarded as "kitsch and prostitution", Ye Yingwu let Deng Mu and Zhou Mi partner together, but also for the sake of cultivating talents, with the ability of the two, it may be difficult to do everything like Guo Shoujing, and become a full mechanical all-rounder, but at least the two of them are quite proficient in science and engineering and literature, coupled with correct thinking, it is best to cultivate talents.
In another time and space, Europe has gone from the first industrial revolution to the third industrial revolution for two hundred years, and this is not counting the capital accumulation time of the previous Age of Discovery, so Ye Yingwu knows very well that it is definitely not an overnight effort to step by step as a pioneer to the same level of scientific and technological development as the time and space where he came, not to mention that Ye Yingwu is a full liberal arts student, and the manufacturing methods of these initial firearms are actually learned from history books, once science and technology continue to develop, I'm afraid Ye Yingwu won't be able to do much, so Ye Yingwu didn't plan to see a qualitative leap in Daming's science and technology while he was still alive.
The Europeans carried out primitive capital accumulation in the Age of Discovery, which lasted for two hundred years, plus the later colonial expansion, for more than three hundred years, and the current capital of the Ming Dynasty is full of calculations, which is a hundred years since the Southern Song Dynasty, and because of the continuous wars in the middle, there are many losses, even if Ye Yingwu has tried his best to open all the roads that can be used for capital accumulation to the Ming Dynasty, but after all, this process still takes time.
So what Ye Yingwu needs is a system, a system that can continuously cultivate talents who can compete with or even surpass the few people standing in front of him today. Only this ang, the tree of science and technology that is spreading its branches will not slowly wither after this golden generation, making all Ye Yingwu's efforts in vain, and Huaxia will once again regress to the same position in another time and space, once again experiencing the past that makes Ye Yingwu and every latecomer unbearable.
It has been five or six years in this era, and Ye Yingwu has been able to deeply realize the heaviness of the wheel of history, sometimes even if he is a little butterfly that breaks in, no matter how much he flapps his wings, there is no way to change it, but he still has to do his best, or try hard.
After all, he can't come in vain, after all, those soldiers who rushed to the enemy one after another can't fall in vain!
"Let's go, let's go in!" Ye Yingwu said loudly, "Let me see how many good things you have come up with!" ā
"Your Majesty, please!" As soon as he mentioned his own invention and creation, Guo Shoujing came to the spirit, this Ministry of Industry Shangshu, who almost regarded Jiangjun Mountain as his home, ate and lived a lot here, and poured almost all his efforts into this workshop among the green mountains, Ye Yingwu was able to come to check it in person, which was naturally a supreme honor for him.
And Deng Muhe looked at Ye Yingwu carefully, His Majesty the Emperor, who was a little too young but had created too many miracles, there was no way to hide the look of expectation on his face.
"Mu Xin (author's note: Deng Muzi), what do you think?" Zhou Mi looked at Ye Yingwu, who was walking in front, and gently pursed his mouth.
Deng Mu, who had always had a solemn expression, looked at the careful gaze, was silent for a moment, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Anyway, since the Shang Jun changed the law, Shinong businessmen and businessmen are the most despicable, and Your Majesty has been treating everyone equally since he ascended the throne. At least the path taken by His Majesty is different from the path taken by those monarchs before him, whether they are virtuous or not, maybe this path is a dead end, but at least it is still a smooth road now. So let's go, and watch. ā
Zhou Mi shuddered slightly, obviously he didn't expect this close friend and colleague to say such a thing in front of the public, but fortunately, the officials and craftsmen who followed around all paid attention to Ye Yingwu in front of him, and didn't care about the two of them who spoke in a low voice. However, thinking about his friend's stubborn character, coupled with his long-standing dissatisfaction with the monarchy, Zhou Mi felt that there was nothing wrong with him saying this paragraph, not to mention that there seemed to be some truth in this passage.
Isn't this majesty in front of you just taking a different path from the rest of the emperors, as for the result, everyone will go down side by side and watch together!
