Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen held the hand of the emperor Xu Guangqi and stood on the edge of the city wall, the afterglow of autumn was endless and desolate! In the distance, the shouting of soldiers and iron horses came from time to time! The black smoke everywhere shows that the land of the Ming Dynasty is being built by the slaves and barbaric **! The crows in the sky are hoarse, and corpses on the ground can be seen everywhere! There are soldiers and ordinary people who starve to death, which makes people can't believe it, this is the capital master of the Ming Empire!

The emperor didn't look back, looking at this piece of gloom, as if he was talking to Qian Longxi and Yuan Keli, and as if he was talking to himself, "You are all the ministers I want to rely on!" Is it my minister? If there is a conflict of views, you can seek common ground while reserving differences, but you really can't accept each other's views, so you can keep your views for the time being! I just heard you say that you all agree that the ban on the sea can relieve the pressure on the victims, so is there any more serious problem than the disaster victims? I remember the last time I raised money, the imperial relatives and officials of the entire Beijing Division only collected more than 10,000 taels of silver, is it because everyone has no patriotism? Or is everyone self-denying, upright and honest? Are they really all that poor? No, to let a person take out the money in his pocket, that is to cut meat, don't talk about others, even if I ate a little more food a few days ago, and then I regretted it! The country has fallen to this! Why should I give up on myself? If I want to be rich and noble for a lifetime, it is actually not difficult, I can move the capital away and return to Jinling! Learn from the Southern Song Dynasty! How about it, my Da Ming can still survive until I die! ”

Xu Guangqi, Qian Longxi, and Yuan Keli couldn't help but shout when they heard the emperor's sadness: "Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Youzhen ignored them, and then said, "The world has lifted the sea ban, and I have already thought about it!" It is imperative, even if I want to break my bones, I must go on firmly, if you really don't recognize me as the emperor, you can return to your hometown! I don't embarrass you, if you recognize me as the emperor, you will remain silent, there are many other things in the court, this matter, if you don't participate, this is to reserve a point of view, not everything has to be either/or! If you feel that the lifting of the sea ban violates your own rights and interests, and I will allow you to return to your hometown, you will stand on the opposite side of me! I don't blame you! Not only will I lift the sea ban, but I will also vigorously develop the navy! The development of industry and the development of shipbuilding industry has been a long-standing problem in every imperial court for thousands of years, but what I want to say is that as long as there are enough ports and fast enough mechanical sea ships! This problem will be solved soon! As soon as the problem of Cao Yun is solved, it will greatly reduce the contradiction that China's economic center is in the south and the political center is always in the north! This earth is huge! My Daming land is only six percent! Out of our sight is the endless sea! Out of the sea are all vibrant continents! Don't cover your eyes for the clouds, you should look at the scenery for a long time! ”

Yuan Keli said in a deep voice, "The emperor's mind and bearing, the old minister admires it so much, the old minister doesn't mean to quarrel with Lord Xu, the old minister and Lord Xu have been old friends for many years, the old minister is just worried that the emperor's reform measures are too careful, I am afraid that it will have an irreparable impact on His Majesty!" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "This attitude is right, the cumbersome discussion of politics requires patience more than anything!" Don't say no at every turn! Everyone has their own point of view, and once an opinion is formed, it's hard to change! It's as hard to get someone to change their perspective as it is to change their career, what kind of work do you do, and then do other jobs, isn't it difficult? Lord Yuan, if you are thinking about me, I can tell you clearly, don't worry about me! I have confidence that most of the people in the world are sensible! Most of them have the concept of loyalty and patriotism! Even if you don't know what to do, then come and wrestle with me! I am confident that I will rise to the challenge, and even if I fail, it will only be my own business! It has nothing to do with the world, and the future of my Ming Dynasty is always good! At least I dare to make this change! As for the slowdown you are talking about, it is better to slow down than to rush! I can also tell you clearly, either change, or change completely! Taking time is equal not coming, and a person's life is short! If you take your time with such a heavy initiative, then you don't have to do anything! As for what you're worried about, my holy decree can't get out of Jingshi's point of view! I can tell you clearly, impossible! After I made a plan in Beijing, I will select a large number of officials to directly form various coastal defense yamen, and the customs duties at the customs clearance ports will be directly linked to Ouchi! The country's fiscal and taxation system will be decoupled from the local government! If you want to touch my money, meet me by force! I won't be afraid! I won't be afraid of the world! Do you now know my intention for you to restructure the Imperial Guards? To deal with the wandering anti-people, it may be that the army of the imperial court is not easy to use, but to deal with the wealthy families everywhere! I have faith! ”

Xu Guangqi, Yuan Keli, and Qian Longxi, including Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun and Yang Siqing, the three old eunuchs present, all gasped after listening to the emperor's words! The emperor's tone was flat, but the content of his words was full of domineering, and everyone knew that no matter what happened, they couldn't stop the emperor's thoughts!

Qian Longxi coughed, "Your Majesty, the old minister asks the emperor to forgive the old minister for the crime of misbehaving just now, and the old minister retains his own opinion and lifts the sea ban, and the old minister does not participate." ”

Yuan Keli also followed, "The old minister also asks the emperor for forgiveness, the old minister has just behaved absurdly, and the old minister also retains his own opinion." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen turned his head with a smile and looked at Qian Longxi and Yuan Keli, "That's right, any point of view needs to be proved by practice, and none of us has the right to make premature judgments!" Don't you like the golden mean? Why can't I be modest? I don't want the world to understand, as long as I can be neutralized by the world, I will be satisfied! A small number of people oppose it, and it does not affect the initiative of the entire imperial court! There is no time to gossip, Yuan Keli will immediately speed up the pace of rectification of the entire Imperial Forest Army! Promote and reuse a group of young officers, remember, the first requirement is always to be loyal to the court and loyal to me! Your mission is to govern the army! I trust the Boss! ”

Yuan Keli knelt down to receive the order, and Zhu Youzhen kindly helped him up, "I guess that in the near future, before the Emperor Taiji's army completely withdraws from the Great Wall, it is very likely that there will be another large-scale sneak attack on the Jingshi!" You have to be on your guard. ”

Yuan Keli nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as you don't urge the old minister to take the initiative to fight with the Eight Banners, the defense of the Beijing Division is impregnable!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile, "Then you have to find a chance, it's best to be able to fight, others at our doorstep, if you don't fight an effective counterattack, it's not good for the court and public opinion!" ”

Yuan Keli stepped back and said, "The old minister understands. ”

Zhu Youzhen said to Qian Longxi, who was nervous in his heart, "Qian Longxi, Yu Dacheng was shuanggui, and Cheng Ji ordered the boss to go to the trilateral disaster relief by order!" You are more busy with cabinet affairs. It is necessary to strengthen the communication with the celebrant and the celebrant to discuss many specific things directly with the celebrant at the entrance of the yamen! The work of the cabinet is to make overall plans for the following major policies! Strengthen the role of supervision, and don't let specific matters delay the speed! Originally, the current transportation is not convenient, many of the scripts from the place to the Beijing division take several months, and when the Beijing division is dismissed, it is a few months, half a year has passed, and the matter of the original performance report is likely to have been solved or has been strictly zhòng! ”

Qian Longxi was shocked, the emperor's words are equivalent to completely emptying the cabinet! The Cabinet is now reduced to an institution of honor, but how dare he say a word? I also promised to go.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen took Xu Guangqi's hand, "Teacher, go back to the study with me, let's eat and sleep together tonight." ”

Xu Guangqi nodded, "The old minister also has a lot to say to the emperor, your majesty, you have grown up!" But you can't be too empty of the cabinet, the role of the cabinet in leading hundreds of officials and the imperial court is still very big! The emperor must not have the idea of despising hundreds of officials. ”

If anyone else said this, it would be a deception! But Xu Guangqi is different, he is an old professor-like figure, and it is precisely because of his personality that the emperor has special respect for Xu Guangqi! "Teacher, I know, but I will give you a thorough understanding now, not only will I not empty the cabinet, but also concretize and materialize the cabinet, and I will form a large cabinet composed of ministers and eunuchs, thousands of people!"

Xu Guangqi was shocked and didn't understand what the emperor meant, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen helped the master down the city tower, and gently described his idea of forming a large cabinet, as well as the reform of the entire Ming system, and described in detail the concept of the five independent systems of the Yamen, the Yamen Division, the Statistical Division, the Inspection Division, and the Eastern Investigation Division and the Western Investigation Division!

Xu Guangqi's head hurt a little, the sixty-year-old man still needs time to digest such a large number of reform theories of the emperor! He felt a little ignorant, and a little suddenly enlightened, "This scale is too big!" Has the emperor talked to anyone? I'm afraid that if we do this, the resistance will be even more fierce than the lifting of the sea ban! ”

The emperor smiled, "I haven't told the minister, the master is the first, when the officials went to the palace to beat the drum, I initially talked about some ideas for the reform of the local system, I will not implement it in the short term, but now I have begun to quietly prepare, the most important thing at the moment is to let me have money and food in my hands, nothing is more important than this!" If the world has to be chaotic, let me become the biggest warlord in the world! What I have to do now is that in addition to the northeast, northwest, and Central Plains provinces, I want to hold the rest of the Ming provinces firmly in my hands! ”

Xu Guangqi frowned gloomily, stretched his brows and smiled, an old face glowed with childlike brilliance, and he compared the action of drawing a cross, "May the heavens bless the emperor, the old minister is very happy for the emperor's talent, even the old minister can't figure out such a huge system, don't you know if the emperor came up with it himself?" Yes, it is impossible for anyone to help the emperor give advice, it must be Taizu's manifestation, and even, the emperor's political level is even higher than that of Taizu! It's incredible! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen Khan, "Master, you just made a cross drawing action, you are ......"

Xu Guangqi remembered something, oh, and wanted to kneel, but was stopped by the emperor, "The old minister believes in Catholicism, the old minister offended the emperor, and the old minister is guilty." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled, "Freedom of belief, as long as it's not a cult, I don't care about this, but don't do this action in front of me in the future, you have to remember that we believe in Buddhism, and if you do this action, you may also leave a handle for the speaker." ”

Xu Guangqi sighed again, nodded and agreed, looking a little funny, Zhu Youzhen, the Chongzhen Emperor who watched it, laughed happily, he was in a good mood at this time, after all, with his own teacher, he is still the most capable teacher in the world with him, and the two of them still have a common political pursuit, which is very commendable! It's not that Xu Guangqi deliberately caters to the emperor, but with Xu Guangqi's wisdom, he is very able to digest the emperor's novel ideas of governance! Once he finds that it is progressive and can promote the development of the country, he will go to make a specific outline for the emperor! Go for further envision! Xu Guangqi is indeed an all-rounder!

Xu Guangqi was not only able to establish the political ideology, civil affairs measures, military strategy, the creation of the art of war formation, the agricultural administration of farmland and water conservancy, the construction of bridges in Huti, the construction of ports and wharves, and the scientific theory of manufacturing machinery, but also translated a large number of Western mathematical theory books, but also put forward the use of artillery in the army, is the father of Chinese artillery, he is an out-and-out all-rounder! Generalist, all-encompassing! Knowing everything, if China has the soil of science, he is definitely the father of Chinese scientists!

In his previous life, Zhu Youzhen just admired the boss very much, but he didn't think too much, he just regarded Xu Guangqi as an outlier who knew everything, and the state affairs were declining, and he didn't give full play to Xu Guangqi's talents, and the whole country was finished! But now Zhu Youzhen is looking at Xu Guangqi like looking at a big treasure, he knows that with a leader in the academic world like Xu Guangqi, there will be more and more Xu Guangqi in the future!

Zhu Youzhen said that the steam engine is a reciprocating power machinery that converts the energy of steam into mechanical work, such as a separate condenser, an insulation layer outside the cylinder, an oil-lubricated piston, a planetary gear, a parallel motion connecting rod mechanism, a centrifugal governor, a throttle valve, a pressure gauge, etc., and said that the steam engine has developed to a considerable scale for the mining industry of the Ming Dynasty, especially the coal mine, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of removing groundwater from the mine by manpower and animal power alone, and there is abundant and cheap coal as fuel on the site.

Zhu Youzhen didn't care about the surprised expression on Xu Guangqi's face, and while spitting at the mouth, he watched Xu Guangqi take out a notebook from his body to record what the emperor said, and the emperor found out that Xu Guangqi had invented something similar to a pencil to record it in the notebook, and Zhu Youzhen proposed the mutual conversion of thermal and kinetic energy, the application in the rest of the industrial field and shipbuilding, and put forward the idea of manufacturing ironclad ships, these popular knowledge, in 2044, when he was reincarnated in modern times, are all well-known concepts, With the lifting of the ban on firearms, the popularization and DIY of automobiles, people's understanding of machinery has become more concrete. Although Zhu Youzhen is not a mechanical major, the principle and structure are very clear, and it can be said very vividly!

Xu Guangqi shouted, "Stop, stop!" Your Majesty, how did you come up with it? Could it be that someone translated some Western book? Has Western civilization advanced to this point? ”

Zhu Youzhen Khan, he was so happy to say that he couldn't wait to tell Master Sù everything he knew, and forgot that he was reincarnated! How can this be explained? I didn't know how to answer, and I held back for a long time, "How can Western civilization be so mysterious?" This is all when I dreamed last night, a god man told me in a dream! ”

It's just that I've been dreaming this dream for a hundred years!

Xu Guangqi cried and said, "Oh my God, there really are gods? Lao Chen doesn't believe in Catholicism, Lao Chen is also going to convert to Buddhism or Taoism, yes, the gods are all Taoist! Lao Chen believes in Taoism, and Lao Chen will start believing in Taoism from today! This is God bless me Daming! Is it any wonder that the emperor just said that the problem of luck that has plagued me in China for thousands of years will soon be solved, and the old minister still thinks that the emperor is talking about it in his heart? The old minister really deserves to die! Yes! As long as you can build the ironclad ship powered by the machine that the emperor just said! Don't talk about the problem of Cao Yun, even at sea, I am no longer invincible! The coastal area of the Ming Dynasty will be impregnable, and behind His Majesty will be a solid national defense as a support! The old minister implored His Majesty to hand over the machinery manufacturing and the preparation and construction of the port terminal to the old minister, which is indeed the most important thing for the emperor at present! After listening to the emperor's words, please explain the specific components to the old minister one by one, and in less than a month, the old minister can develop the steam engine that the emperor said, and within three years, the old minister is confident that he will develop the ironclad ship that the emperor said! This is a leap that can span several eras for both civilian and military use! Not only the shipbuilding industry, but also the mining, metallurgy, and various industries and agriculture of our Ming Dynasty are about to take off! My Ming revitalization is imminent! ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the old man who was a little incoherent and spoke upside down, and his own teacher could also feel the joy of his sudden contact with the civilization five hundred years later! However, in order to calm down the old man, Zhu Youzhen did not stop, he heard the old man talk about agriculture, and knew that the old man was also an agricultural scientist, and his book on agricultural politics was sought after by the majority of agricultural workers in the next few hundred years! "Boss, does Daming grow corn and potatoes?"

The old man didn't react for a moment, "The old minister of corn knows, yes, there is planting in the north, what is a potato?" ”

The emperor described the appearance and characteristics of potatoes, Xu Guangqi nodded, "There have been for a long time, but these exotic plants have not been promoted in a large area, the emperor and the old slave thought of going together, the old minister has done systematic research on these two crops, these are very suitable for planting in most of the Ming Dynasty, easy to ripen, easy to plant, very suitable for disaster years to fill hunger!" ”

Zhu Youzhen Khan, these are the top three crops in the world in the future, what is very suitable for hunger in disaster years? However, the concept does not mean that it will change, and the staple food of Chinese is wheat and rice, and millet is these things! "Master, industry must be grasped, machinery must be manufactured, and the planning and promotion of these agriculture cannot be delayed, you select more scientific talents for me, and plan out the area suitable for planting what crops, you propose it to Wang Chengen, and let me use the Zhongzhi to directly appoint!" Daming needs talents, especially scientific and technological talents, and it is impossible to select them by relying on science and technology! You have been doing research for so many years, you must have many friends in this area, and these people can also recommend each other! We need to quickly enrich the system with science talents! ”

Xu Guangqi nodded, and kept talking to the emperor, so that he had calmed down a little from the initial surprise, and couldn't suppress his smile, he and the emperor were too anxious! "As long as the emperor himself knows what is beneficial to the country and what is beneficial to the country, these will be solved quickly, once these people know that the emperor will make an exception and reuse talents who have made achievements in various science and technology as officials, these people will immediately spring up like mushrooms after a rain, don't be anxious, your majesty. You have to take care of the dragon's body, Lao Chen heard that you only sleep three hours a day, Lao Chen is worried and distressed! ”

Zhu Youzhen hugged Xu Guangqi, "You also have to pay attention to your body!" Promote more people, train more people, by the way, I have already asked people to start expanding the third wall of the Beijing Division, and when the time comes, a large area will be planned as a university area, and I will let the Beijing Division of the Ming Dynasty have a thousand universities of all kinds! There are enough factories to make up for the entire planet! The most efficient administrative office space in the world! ”

Xu Guangqi also gently hugged the emperor and patted the emperor's shoulder gently, "There will be, there will be!" As long as the emperor guarantees that the funds are abundant! Ensure that the defense of the Kyoshi is solid! Ensure that the hearts of the people in Beijing are stable, the food is stable, and the old minister guarantees that within three years, these will be there! Once the problem of transportation is solved, the north-south traffic cannot restrict the development of Daming, and nothing will become a problem! There is no shortage of people in Daming! There is no shortage of resources! ”
