"Forty thousand miles?" Li Dongyang exclaimed in surprise and immediately dispelled the idea of exploring. This is not worse than learning from the West, the risk is too great!

"The length is nothing, the main thing is the cold, disease, and provisions, as for the white bear, it doesn't matter, a few crossbows will be settled." Huahou Wei really wants to lead the team himself, look at the Bering Strait, look at Alaska, alas, it is estimated that he will not be able to go in this life.

Xie Qian shook his head, it is useless to talk about such things, it is better to talk about industrial things. "Your Highness, what do you need us to do?"

"It's too much. First of all, there is the question of the subject! I felt that it should be divided into two parts, one for the royal and one for the state. It is better to have a competition with each other, otherwise one family will dominate and soon fall into infighting. ”

Liu Jian's old face turned red, civil officials are good at infighting, and they don't have any good solutions, but His Royal Highness said it so bluntly, his face was a little unbearable.

Xie Qian frowned, and simply avoided the matter of infighting: "Your Highness, how to divide this subject?" ”

"Well, machine tool factories, new gunpowder factories, chemical plants, special steel factories, steam engine factories, as well as part of the mining, metallurgy, coking coal, are controlled by the Inner Court. The remaining fertilizer plants, steel mills, cement plants, coking coal, mining, coinage, etc., were controlled by the foreign dynasty. I propose the establishment of a new department, at the same level as the six ministries, reporting directly to the Cabinet. Hua Houwei had thought about these questions countless times, and at this moment, he poured out all his brains.

"Slow down, the old man is too old to keep up with you. Your Highness, whatever it is, who is in charge? Liu Jian had a headache when he heard these new terms. But this can be asked, or it has to be chaotic.

Hua Houwei smiled: "You are asking about the organizational form?" Or is it who cares? I think that officials who read the books of the sages can participate, but they can't be in charge. There is a sequence of hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry. If there are no such strange techniques in the books of the sages, then it can only be participation, and only those craftsmen are professional and can really carry them out. ”

Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted. This is no less than a new revolution, a bad response, Shilin is shaken, and the world is unstable. He groaned and asked, "Do these craftsmen give official status?" What is the appropriate grade? What are the ways to be promoted in the future? Your Highness, you must not be cautious when you move your whole body. ”

Yes, that's why Hongji is really reluctant to do it. How can vested interest groups easily allow others to participate in the cake? The way to govern is to balance the interests and contradictions of all strata, and Hongzhi wants to teach Hua Houwei a lesson this time, so that he can understand that if there is not a good purpose and prospects, there must be a good result.

Hua Houwei knew that it was only at this time that the drama meat was really revealed, so he took a sip of tea slowly and methodically before responding to Xie Qian: "Second Master, I think so, set up a Ministry of Industry. It includes all artisan households, and has jurisdiction over these industrial and trade enterprises. Of course, the official body must be given, and the rank cannot be low. There must be promotions in order to mobilize enthusiasm. Civil officials who join industry and trade can be treated by one level and included in the Ming court. What do you think? ”

Xie Qian finally listened patiently, and immediately shook his head again and again: "Arabian Nights, Arabian Nights." Your Highness, these craftsmen don't know a single big character, how can they communicate with official documents? Without the corresponding cultivation, how can you be on the same level as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? Besides, the opposition in Shilin will not be small, I don't think I can see it! ”

Li Dongyang nodded: "What Yu Qiao said is good. These craftsmen are all vulgar people, and once they ascend to the Tianzi Hall, they may not know what kind of jokes they will make. It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate! ”

Hua Houwei gritted his teeth, knowing that the resistance must not be small, but he didn't expect it to be so big. This is just the elder of the pavilion, if it is the officials of the six departments below, as well as the five temples and six departments, etc., then it will not make a fuss? You can't be impatient, do business, and ask for a price to pay back on the spot: "Oh, maybe that's the case." But the industry can't help but do it, do you have a better idea? ”

The three of them were dumbfounded, industry is a new thing, and no one knows how to do it. Is Your Highness picking on a pick? Li Dongyang reluctantly smiled and said: "Your Highness, how to do this industry, you are the expert, let's discuss." What do you think? ”

"Well, your lordship's concerns are very reasonable, but I didn't think it through. Whether this is good or not, these craftsmen still have to give an official body, but this official body is not the same as the civil official who was admitted to the Jinshi examination, and he can only go around in the Ministry of Industry. How is it? ”

Xie Qian frowned: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Industry's statement is inappropriate. Taizu created the Ming official system, and it was inappropriate to change it at will. ”

Depend on! This is to dig roots! Second Master, do we have such a big feud? Hua Houwei sneered: "My ancestor is the founder of the Ming Foundation, but it is impossible for him to foresee the great changes in today's world. I know that Confucianism takes it as its mission to restore the rule of three generations, but how difficult it is to rule the three generations has never been realized in successive dynasties. Lord Liu, Master Li, Second Master, I can say very responsibly that if the industry really develops, the rule of three generations can be achieved in an instant! ”

The three of them were shocked, this was not a soul chaser, or a prestige. This is the ultimate goal that Confucianism has been tirelessly pursuing since Confucius, and there has never been such an expectation for many generations of great Confucian scholars who have passed away in bed and bed. Why would you say such a thing, a little child?

Xie Qian assumed the identity of a master, stood up and looked majestic: "Your Highness, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

Hua Houwei also stood up and pointed out the window: "What is the rule of three generations?" Isn't it just that the cultivator has his land? No more starvation? With the development of industry, the good seeds in this world are snatched back, plus chemical fertilizers, and the yield per mu is 1,000 catties? Cut, I can't reach two thousand catties, I Zhu Houwei don't dare to live in the world! Did you know or not? As soon as the loom is turned on, one is a hundred zhang a day, I am only worried that there is no market, where will I worry that the people of Li can not afford to buy clothes and cannot wear? Second Master, if there is a kind of machine, you can plow a hundred acres of land in an hour, do you think farming is still a chore? Lying down to the barbarians outside the plug, how many cattle and sheep are transported, even the people can have meat every day. Not to mention that industry needs a large number of people and is worried about not being able to feed the victims? I'm only worried that the population of Daming is not enough, and that Laoshizi poll tax old man has long been unpleasant! ”

The three of them were shaky, and Hua Houwei's roar was in their ears. In front of me are the pictures sketched by Hua Houwei, although it is really out of reach, but why do you feel that you are itchy all over your body and want to roar loudly?

"Adults! Now is not the time when we don't want to develop industry, we can not develop! The Ming Dynasty has a great enemy! It's not the idiots who only know how to bend the bow and shoot eagles, but the Europa people hundreds of thousands of miles away! This world is big, but it's also small, and there's not much place to snatch it! Isn't it good for the Ming Dynasty to snatch the anointed land and give it benevolence? It is not 10,000 times stronger than the future generations being poisoned by the enemy! ”
