Back to the Forbidden City.

Wang Chengen saw that the emperor looked unsatisfied, so he could only shake his head, and secretly arranged for someone to record today's events, and if it was necessary in the future, he also had to make some arrangements, for example, the emperor's eldest son was born outside the palace...... Yang Gai felt stunned today, not to mention physically refreshing, but mentally even more crooked.

Yang reform out of the right, out of the umbrella, this Sun Liniang is responsible for the specific actual operation, "husband and wife" both go to cheat the Mongolian money, when it comes to Xingtou, Yang reform regardless of others' "resistance", just to make a brace.

…… The next morning.

Yang Gengai is going to go to the training ground of the new army to have a look, the navy has recruited enough people, Yang Gengai is going to carry out "military training", first to conduct infantry training, and then to get on the boat for water training after there is a boat, and strive to build a navy as soon as possible.

It seems that I haven't been to the New Army for a long time, and I have recently lost my temper, which is quite low and decadent, and I don't even want a gun. Think about it, I am really a bastard, in the past two days, I have dealt with the affairs of the government and prepared to see the new army. This and the feelings of the new army, no matter what, cannot be alienated. When the Jinyi guards can't cut it, it's time for these people to go up and cut it.

Wang Chengen came in and said, "Your Majesty, Zheng Huaizhong asks to see you." ”

Zheng Huaizhong? Could it be that the shipbuilders found this? I remember that I was the one who asked him to find a shipbuilder: "Biography." "Yang Gengai decided to meet, if so, this is good news!

"Slave maid Zheng Huaizhong knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Zheng Huaizhong kowtowed to the emperor very respectfully.

"Zheng Huaizhong, looking at your appearance, you're in good spirits." Yang Gai looked at Zheng Huaizhong's spiritual head, it was really good, as if he had taken medicine to rejuvenate himself, his face was full of spring breeze, and he was twenty years younger.

"The slave and maid thank the emperor for his praise, the slave and maid are happy, and it is the honor of the slave and maid to be able to do things for His Majesty, of course they have to do it happily." Zheng Huaizhong's drive, no matter how he hides it, he can't hide it.

"Hehe...... what are you looking for me today? Have you found someone who built the ship? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not about building a ship, it's about building a house, and the slave and maid heard from the person in charge of building that the patterns and hot samples have been prepared, please take a look at the emperor." Zheng Huaizhong was full of joy to report the good news to the emperor.

Drawings and hot patterns for building a house? What is that? Yang Reform wondered? Build a house? Oh, come to think of it, isn't that the Imperial Theater?

"Well, that's very good, so pass it on." Although this is not very important, since others are ready, let's meet and don't hit other people's positive surnames.

…… A group of green-robed petty officials, led by the eunuchs, came to the Dongnuan Pavilion.

"We knock to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." A few green-robed petty officials saluted Yang Reform.

"Well, get up, I heard that you have already got the drawings for that design, right?" Yang Reform is ready to see if it is the walled house in his mind.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Weichen's drawings and hot samples have been prepared, just wait for the emperor to see and appoint them. One of the leaders replied, and several people trembled.

Pattern, this, Yang Reform understands, what is that hot sample? Malatang the same thing?

"What's this hot sample? I haven't heard of it! Yang Gai felt that he still didn't know enough about ancient knowledge, and many things he learned in the 21st century were not the right names in ancient times, and the names were different.

"Back to the emperor, the hot sample is a shrunken object, a shrunken building, specially made for the emperor's view." The little official in the lead hurriedly explained to the emperor what it meant to be hot.

Hmm~ shrunken objects, shrunken buildings? Isn't that the model? Architectural models? This one...... Yang Gai felt that this ancient person was not stupid! Know that before you make something, get yourself a model and see if you like it or not.

"Oh, is that so? Why don't you show it to me? "Yang Reform used to love models for a while, but what he liked was robot models, such as Transformation Gundam, the model of the transformation robot, and the robots that took these materials every day, dubbed these robots, and fought all kinds of battles, uh~! It's a happy life for elementary and middle school students! Now in the Ming Dynasty, I also met a group of people who played with models, and Yang Gai felt that he could make some models of robots or models of airplanes, tanks, and warships to play, which was not made by machines in later generations. Now that he is the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, the resources of the whole country are available for his own use, and he can be completely extravagant, and use the rights of the emperor to live an addiction to having various models.

The leading green-robed petty official hurriedly played: "Your Majesty, all the objects are placed outside the palace, and please ask Your Majesty for permission......" This official is small, and it is not so easy to give something to the emperor, obviously, their things are required to be placed outside the palace. If the emperor doesn't like it, don't take it out to upset the emperor.

"Go." Yang had to urge the reform.

Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed, and instructed the little eunuch to move things outside the palace.

After a while, a plate covered with a yellow cloth came in. Yang Gengai looked at it and wondered, what is this? Model? Supported by a plate and covered with a piece of cloth, it seems that the model of nothing is flattened like this, could it be that the people of the Ming Dynasty have learned to "deform"? Stay at that cloth-covered thing and after a few transformations, it becomes a burly Transformer?

I saw the little official and said: "Your Majesty, the pattern and hot sample have arrived, please take a look at Your Majesty." As he spoke, he uncovered the yellow cloth, and inside was a flat, neatly folded Dongdong, the petty official went over, picked it up, folded it three times and folded it in two, and a "building model" the size of a foot basin was displayed in front of Yang Reform.

This thing is no different from the walled house in Yang Reform's impression. Green tiles, loess walls, rafters made of red wood support. The three-story windows, the interior is surrounded on three sides, and one side is the stage, which is the image of the Grand Theater in Yang Reform's mind.

"Good, good! Not bad. Looking at such a delicate model, Yang Reform had to admire, the wisdom of this ancient man was really superb.

Yang Gengai walked to the side of the model and found that this model was almost exactly the same as the real thing, so he was very curious and asked: "This thing is made so detailed, is it made in real proportions?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this thing is a hot sample, which can be seen as a reduction of the real thing, the size of the building is marked on it, and the roof above is removed, and the internal structure of this thing can be seen, and when it is actually built, you only need to take out this thing and show it to the craftsmen of the building, and they will know how to build it, and it will be built exactly like this thing, and there will be no difference." This petty official worked hard to explain to the emperor what this is called hot. As he spoke, he also peeled off the "roof" that was covered on it and showed the emperor the internal structure.

I rub~! Yang Gengai shouted in his heart, this is a completely realistic architectural model! You can build a real building model according to the size! In the 21st century, this thing seems to be in the computer, and it can only have this effect with 3D. Yang Reform was shocked, and hurriedly looked into the lid that the little official had opened, and the pillars, rafters, and even exquisite decorations were displayed in front of his eyes one by one, and Yang Reform was completely stunned by this three-dimensional architectural model. Is this the antiquity of his m?

"Ahem~, this, if it is actually built, how should these 'hot samples' be used?" Yang Gai was quite curious about this ancient building technique.

"Back to Your Majesty, the royal construction, has always been the first to produce the pattern, and then out of the hot sample, and then write the size of the building, so that the three are through the emperor's eyes, the king, before taking the building, when the time of making, as long as the hot sample to the craftsman to see, the craftsman naturally understands the structure, with the size and pattern of the construction, each person manages their own piece, and soon the whole building will be built." This petty official explained to the emperor how the royal family made things and how to use hot samples.

I rub! In such a way, Yang Reform was also completely shocked by this ancient construction method. Yang Gai has always thought that this ancient building has always been built by a craftsman who meditates hard in his mind, and then takes it for granted according to experience, and there is no "scientific" construction method, no "scientific" management method, and no "scientific" experience accumulation. But I didn't expect that this ancient, not a fool, is obviously much smarter than he imagined, others not only have design drawings, but also specific parameters, and even more "three-dimensional models".

The literacy rate in ancient times was not high, and it was obviously difficult for all craftsmen to understand and understand the building formula and building principle, and even what "standard", and even the understanding was different, resulting in different data, different styles, practices, and materials, if so, it would definitely make a mess of the building, and the skin would be unclear all day long, and when the time came, what was waiting for them was the emperor's knife.

Therefore, the ancient people were not stupid, directly on this kind of "three-dimensional model", you have no culture, no matter how the language is not understood, and then understand the difference, after looking at this "three-dimensional rendering", it is estimated that as long as you are not a fool, you should also understand how to make it. Then use this schematic diagram and data to compare, there is no need to explain too much, it is natural to understand how to build, how to choose materials, what materials to use, what style to create, so that hundreds of people, thousands of people can start work at the same time, each in charge of their own, so that there will be no conflict.

Yang Reform is now deeply attracted by this model, and also attracted by the ancient architectural methods, and also attracted by the ancient ingenuity. Alas! Who said the ancients were stupid? Who said that the ancients were backward? In ancient times, when there were no computers, they were using "three-dimensional models" to build houses, and whoever said that the ancients were stupid I would be in a hurry.

The ancients have given Yang Reform too much surprise, and the attitude towards the ancients has been greatly changed.

However, this thing is so superb, why doesn't it seem to be mentioned much in the records of the government! Yang Gai felt that this history book was also a bit.

"This Qing family, when you built it, did you actually build it according to this scale?" Yang Gengai looked at the architectural model and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, when it is built, it will definitely be built according to this size, and it will not be more than a point, and it will not be less than a point." This petty official explained to the emperor very confidently.

Yang Gengai nodded, and picked up the "design drawing" next to him, which seemed to be drawn with a pencil or hard pen. Very fine, beautifully presented and very clean. Yang reform Da Jian, Yang reform has always believed that in ancient times, there was only one kind of brush, that is, brush, writing, painting, all with a brush, maps, including military maps, are often drawn with a brush, look crooked, very ugly, even this kind of engineering design drawing, all have to use a brush, so, the engineering design drawing, should be painted huge, painted huge, huge mess. Unexpectedly, when I saw this real "design drawing", I found that this is almost no different from the design drawings of later generations. Yang even suspected that someone had fooled himself with the 21st century engineering drawings, and even that the drawings were printed out by a printer.

Yang Gai was very hurt, and he seemed to have been looking down on the wisdom of the ancients. I picked up the "engineering data" again, which densely wrote what materials were used in this and that place, how long and big that place was, what paint was used here, what patterns were used there, and even how long the wood needed to be shaded.

Yang Reform breathed a sigh of "boo", with such a construction team, are you still afraid that the theater will not be built? Are you still afraid of quality problems? It doesn't seem to be necessary!

"Hmmm! Yes, Zheng Huaizhong, I have no opinion on this 'hot sample', you can organize people to build exactly according to this 'hot sample', this cost, within two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, the address, you just look at it, these people, I named them the designers and architectural directors of the Grand Theater, responsible for designing and supervising the construction of this Grand Theater, this Qing family...... It's the chief designer ......"

Yang Reform soon decided to build the Imperial Theater according to this "hot sample". He also named those green-robed petty officials as designers, as construction directors, and also named the person who took the lead a chief designer, but unfortunately, he didn't even know other people's names.

Wang Chengen hurriedly came over and whispered: "Your Majesty, this person's surname is Ouyang, and the word is a Xu ......."

Ouyang Xu? Yang Gai read the name once, and then hurriedly ended this meeting, this building matter, although the cow breaks, is always a small matter, there are still big things waiting to be done by himself. Those petty officials received a reward, and they were naturally overjoyed, and they were all grateful.

…… Walking in the Palace Museum, Yang Gengai looked at the towering halls and gatehouses, and realized that this ancient building was built in this way. There is also this Zheng He's fleet, that ship after ship, which confirms the superb construction technology of this ancient time, the kind of ship that sails in the ocean and fights with the wind and waves, if the design is unreasonable, the construction is unreasonable, the construction and materials are not standardized, and the management is not standardized, can it withstand the wind and waves? With experience alone, can you build this huge ship that sails on the sea? Yang reformed that he was beaten to death, and he didn't believe it.

It seems that it is not bad to build your own ships and hand them over to Zheng Huaizhong and those "rigorous" technocrats! Yang felt that his initial decision to use Western technology to build ships was a bit biased.

…… Forces nouvelles training ground.

After the people saw the salute. Yang Gengcai and Sun Chengzong walked slowly on the field and talked.

“…… Seeing that His Majesty cheered up again and resumed his heroic spirit, it is really a blessing for my Ming Dynasty! Sun Chengzong saw that Emperor Chongzhen had returned to that positive state, so he calmed down.

"Hehe, Master Sun, I know that I shouldn't make a surname, lose my temper, and take the burden, Master Sun shouldn't make fun of me." Talking to Sun Chengzong, it seems very casual and sincere. This is a treatment that no one else can have. Even Xu Guangqi, due to the limited contact with him, is not as casual as Sun Chengzong.

“…… Hehe, the minister dares to ask Your Majesty, what about the salt class? Sun Chengzong was still not worried about the salt class, and as soon as he met the emperor, he brought it up again.

Yang Gengai thought about it, and told Sun Chengzong about how he was going to cut salt merchants and how to cancel the salt tax in the world.

Sun Chengzong didn't express any opinions, he kept listening to Emperor Chongzhen, and after Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Sun Chengzong still didn't have any words.

After waiting for a long time, Yang Gai couldn't wait any longer, so he asked, "Master Sun, what do you think of my plan?" ”

Sun Chengzong thought about it for a long time, his expression did not fluctuate much, and he said in a very calm tone: "Back to Your Majesty, in this matter, in the opinion of the ministers, Your Majesty has made up his mind to compete with the salt merchants and salt rats?" On the whole, there is a great chance of success, but this layout is still a little thin, and the killing is not decisive enough. ”

"Oh! So what else does Master Sun have to add? ”

"The old minister thinks that His Majesty still lacks a pro-army that can resolutely carry out His Majesty's intentions, and it is a pro-army that is not interfered with by the outside world, this is not Jinyi Wei, nor that guard, nor Jingying, nor Dongchang."

"What did Master Sun say? …… Could it be that Master Sun is saying that I still need to use the new army? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, as Your Majesty said, Your Majesty wants to 'cut' those salt merchants, cut those salt rats, this Jinyi Guard, Dongchang, Jingying, and Weisu, isn't that inextricably linked with the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty? How can this knife be cut? When the time comes, it will be cut constantly, and it will be messy and uncontrollable! Therefore, His Majesty is not bold enough. ”

Yang Reform didn't expect that Sun Chengzong, like Xu Guangqi, was quite supportive of himself, the emperor's salt cutter and salt cutting mouse, was it also the same as Xu Guangqi, who had a deep grudge against the salt class of the Ming Dynasty? Don't have any hope for this Ming Dynasty officialdom? Do you also want to rush out of a bloody road?

"Oh? In this way, this plan of mine is not advisable? ”

"No, Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Your Majesty can give it a try, even if it fails, it will not hurt Your Majesty's foundation, at most it is to throw out a few eunuchs, or the factory guards to vent their anger, it has nothing to do with Your Majesty, the salt tax is as Your Majesty said, it is only one million taels, Your Majesty gritted his teeth, and it came out of the inner pocket, which is completely feasible."

"What does Master Sun mean?" Yang Reform was at a loss.

In Sun Chengzong's calm words, he did not have any intention of persuading the emperor to cut people, but told the emperor how to cut people more perfectly, and not hurt himself.

"Your Majesty has this knife, and the person who makes the knife also has it, and there is a lack of a person who sharpens the knife, and when there is a lack of a knife to cut people and can't move, the person who makes a sledgehammer on the back of the knife, this person is the new army, Your Majesty's plan is feasible, you can add a back hand behind this, and when the knife of Jinyiwei can't be cut, use this new army to hammer a big hammer on the back of Jinyiwei, presumably, no matter how hard the bone, it will also be opened......"

Yang Reform didn't expect that this Sun Chengzong is also a fierce man, what he said, I can't tell that it was said by a person from a Jinshi, and it is no different from the people who shouted and shouted to kill on the rivers and lakes, as an emperor, he taught himself not the words of a saint, gentle and kind, but taught you how to cut people, Yang Reform was ashamed, could it be that the emperors in history were all taught this to the emperor?

"Hehe, Master Sun, I think the same way, no, I came to the new army early in the morning, just to see this person who will hammer behind Jinyiwei in the future, hehe......"
