Chapter 63: The Crazy Stone
Newton was hit in the head by an apple, and after some exploration, he figured out the law of gravitation. When Hiram Stevens Makqin was playing with a gun, he was injured in the shoulder by the recoil of the gun, and he used the recoil to achieve an automatic burst of gun fire.
Different people have different ideas or results for the same thing, and there may be only one correct path, which means that most of them are doing useless work. Of course, more people have no ideas, there must be a lot of people who have been smashed by things, and shooting guns is a must experience for all soldiers, but invention and innovation only belong to a very small number of people.
Invention is often the result of the inventor's unintentional inspiration, and of course, there will be setbacks of one kind or another in the process of innovation. And Zhao Zhen's presence can show them the way forward, without wandering on the wrong path, and at the same time can save a lot of time.
Zhao Zhen believes that with his own guidance, as an epoch-making firearm and steam engine, it will surely enter the historical stage in advance. At this moment, he is most worried about materials, and all the high-level things in his head are inseparable from the support of high-grade materials.
Generally speaking, the comprehensive national strength of a country is nothing more than economic strength, national defense strength, industrial strength and education level. Needless to say, the Song Dynasty must be the boss. There is no need to worry about national defense in the short term, and when gunpowder is equipped on a large scale, it should be the enemy who is worried. Only education and industry are big problems, don't look at the prosperity of the Song Dynasty's literary style, that is only a very small number of representatives, the vast majority of the people know him by words, he does not know words, but the improvement of education level is the most time-consuming.
At present, Zhao Zhen is most concerned about industrial construction, and steel machinery is related to his follow-up plan. For this reason, he arranged the most manpower in the Materials Division, which was basically the people who taught him when he was a child and had the most basic new knowledge.
"Materials Division, you are the most concerned by me at the moment, I have given you the most manpower, because you will be the foundation of the rest of the department, only if you can get good things, they can make better products. Iron and steel has achieved great success with the efforts of Li Tiezhu, I believe that with the current level of steel in our dynasty can far surpass other countries, but we can not be complacent, I hope you will go further! Zhao Zhen said earnestly to everyone.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Weichen doesn't dare to slack off!" Li Tiezhu stood up and patted his chest.
Zhao Zhen nodded and continued to say to the other three: "The three of you have all grown up with me, and I have taught you a lot of new knowledge, I hope you will make good use of them." Do you remember the plastics, rubbers, alloys, and other metals I told you? ”
"The ministers dare not forget!" Chen Xinhua, Zhang Qirui and Yang Sien replied loudly.
"That's good! I hope you will figure them all out as soon as possible, and I will be of great use. ”
"Your Ministers obey!"
"I won't say much about agriculture, agriculture is the foundation of the country, I hope you will work hard! The Department of Industry first sorted out the excellent architectural drawings of the previous dynasties, restored the damaged ones, and excavated the wisdom of the ancients for their own use! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Rejoice! You are the only girl here, and you are also the first female official in my court, so you have to give your female compatriots a long face! After arranging the tasks of other departments, Zhao Zhen began to joke with Xie Xinran, who was standing aside.
"Your Majesty, you are making fun of the slave family again!" Xie Xinran was still as shy as usual, and the teaching work at the Royal Academy didn't let her go a little.
"Huh? You can't be called a slave now, you're an official now. I know that you have always liked Chinese medicine, so you should collect the prescriptions well, whether it is the people or the court, I will give you the privilege, give you money to buy, and whoever doesn't give me will clean him up! ”
"Thank you, Emperor! Slave...... The minister must help His Majesty collect a lot of prescriptions. ”
"Okay, then, when you're done, I'll reward you with a big hairpin, okay?"
"It's all up to the emperor's orders!" Xie Xinran blushed and bowed, she hadn't received a gift from a boy since she was so old - although it was only a promise now, it was enough for her to be shy.
"Don't look at me with your melancholy eyes, I feel panicked. What have you been unraveling lately? Seeing Wu Ren's resentful eyes standing in the last corner, he couldn't help but shudder, a good young man actually has a hobby of dissection, and he sees and plays, so that everyone stays away from him.
"Your Majesty! Can you have mercy on me? You look at the living creatures in the capital, and you haven't played yet, and the minister really hasn't played, don't let me do this work, let the minister go out and mingle, right? Wu Ren pretended to be pitiful and pleaded.
"You kid don't pretend to be there, do your work well, and in the future, I will appoint you some people who have committed the most heinous crimes for you to study, and count them as accumulating virtue for themselves! It's not impossible for you to go out if you want to, I send people to protect you, you can travel with your students, I will fund you, but you kid will have to make sure that you will train a lot of surgeons for my army for a year. Promised? ”
"Promise, promise......" Seeing that the goal was achieved, Wu Ren immediately put on a cheap smile, which made everyone get goosebumps.
"Okay, I'm done, and the rest is up to you."
"The ministers will live up to the holy will, and the ministers will retire!" The crowd bowed and shouted in unison.
The Royal Academy of Sciences finally began to open, and at this time, another astonishing holy decree came out from the Jingshi, and officials from all over the country were scorched by thunder.
The holy decree is written like this, saying that the whole world is not the king's land, but I am trapped in the palace and have no time to see, so I order the officials from all over the country to select all kinds of stones and send them to the capital as soon as possible, there must be no mistake!
As soon as this order came out, all the hermit writers and heroes have made a lot of nonsense, reflecting that today's saints are not doing their jobs properly, and they are ashamed of their ancestors.
"Brother Yuan, our plan has to be accelerated, and the attitude of the Holy Lord to favor Xinxue is becoming more and more obvious, and ...... go on like this" Liu Chengqi pretended to be worried, and stopped talking.
Kong Daofu also had a deeply worried expression, sighed, but was helpless: "Brother Dafang's words are not unreasonable!" To be honest, the old man was still a little hesitant a while ago, thinking that His Majesty would not risk the world's disapproval. However, today I learned that the Holy Lord actually created some research institute for the sake of new learning, and he was still ranked above the Guozijian, which is really Sima Zhao's heart! ”
Liu Chengqi touched his beard and pondered for a while, and muttered: "The saint is still young!" Think about it, who of you and my generation has not worked hard for decades to become famous in one fell swoop, and these new students have been fortunate to enter in just a few years, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among students all over the world. Brother Yuanlu, your chance has come! ”
"What's the explanation?"
"A few days ago, our arrangement must have aroused the hatred of the world's scholars, and in addition to the recent measures of the saint, as long as Brother Yuan Lu stood up and shouted, the world's scholars will be the first to look forward to you, and the holy school will also move towards new glory under your leadership!" Liu Chengqi used his clever mouth and extremely best language to guide him step by step in the direction he envisioned.
Sure enough, Kong Daofu was originally a descendant of Confucius, and he took it as his responsibility to maintain the inheritance of sacred learning, and was aroused by Liu Chengqi's words to arouse the pride and ambition in his heart, and tried to compare with the desire of heaven! It is easy for people to lose their usual rationality when they are impulsive, and he has not noticed that the person who is the driving force behind all this thing has never put himself in.
However, he was completely immersed in the illusion of a beautiful future at the moment, and was immersed in his books, preparing to cheat some court staff to become famous in the world, which was also the favorite thing for the literati of the Song Dynasty to do. In these years, the transportation is inconvenient and the information circulation is backward, and the fastest way is to let the emperor play a few boards, gain a good reputation, and ensure that he is popular all over the country, and his means are comparable to some actresses who became famous in later generations.
No matter how ups and downs are outside, Zhao Zhen is sitting firmly in the research institute at the moment, and he is leading the personnel of the Materials Department to identify the ores sent from all over the world, and list the useful information one by one in case of emergency. Don't underestimate such a job, the number of stones sent from more than 100 states on the 18th Road of the Great Song Dynasty must not be a problem to build a small mountain.
Fortunately, the distance is not the same, and the stones are also sent one after another, during this time, Zhao Zhen in addition to dealing with the usual government affairs, the rest of the time is to stay in the research institute to carry forward the spirit of Taobao, after months of struggle, looking at the screening of useful ore raw materials, he is very pleased. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh: "How good it would be if Xu Xiake was the Song Dynasty!" Even if you go through every corner of the country, you will be turned out! ”
The rest of the things Zhao Zhen handed over to the people of the Materials Division, let them continue to collect various ore information, and sent personnel to investigate the distribution of various ores, and finally summarized into the first "Song Dynasty Mineral Record" of the Great Song Dynasty, which made an important contribution to the development of the smelting industry in the Great Song Dynasty.
At this time, you have to pack up your mood and be responsible for your "stone order". After all, in the eyes of the general public, this matter is that Zhao Zhen, the emperor, is idle, the common people can't eat enough, you still have time to play with stones, you say that you can play by yourself, forget it, and pull the big guy to play with you, isn't this looking for scolding?
No, Zhao Zhen's butt has not yet been hot at the half-monthly court meeting, and the supervision of the Supervision Yuan's Imperial History Fan Yan came out to play: "The emperor, Dali Temple and the knowledge of Xianyuan County Confucius Daofu said, since the saint ascended the throne, there are many references to the ancestral system, Confucian sacred learning is determined by the Taizu, but the saint loves the new learning, ignores the holy learning, has been on the throne for two years, and still does not see the meaning of the saint to recruit virtuous people, and we wait for the world's holy scholars to think twice!" In addition, Li Di, a scholar of Jixian Palace, played and advised the saint to be diligent in political affairs, and not to lose his mind by playthings! The minister also asked the saint to obey the holy learning, recruit talents, and play with the new school in his spare time. Think twice! After speaking, he also clicked and knelt for Zhao Zhen.
With the lead, some ministers who are usually dissatisfied have knelt down and pleaded. Almost all the officials in the court were still selected by the imperial examination, and they were already indignant at Zhao Zhen's promotion of new school officials, so they all took this opportunity to put pressure on him. Yan Shu saw that the ministers of the court were almost kneeling, as the prime minister, he couldn't isolate himself, although he was chosen by the emperor, but didn't he have to rely on everyone to work, he also had to stand up and persuade Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, and looked at the black pressure kneeling under the hall with a calm face. In fact, he expected such a day when he decided to toss around in the Great Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect that someone would jump out and sing the opposite scene before he could exert his strength.
Fighting with others is endless fun, if my brother has time, he can really have fun with you, so that you know what is a good young man in the 21st century...... But brother doesn't have time!
