At this moment, Zhu Di understood what his son meant when he said before that he wanted to make a bigger, sweeter, and more attractive cake!

Seeing everyone's constipated faces, Zhu Di was very happy, and he asked aloud, "Son, this academy is a part of my father!" ”

"Yes, this academy, opened by my Zhu family, only recruits children who pay taxes and contribute to the service, eat and pay free tuition, and two sets of clothes for each season of the year."

How superior the conditions are, this is compared to the ten-year cold window, with the strength of the whole family, to support a two-list jinshi out, it is really greedy and want to cry.

Zhu Gaoxian is not afraid of not being moved, "The current task is to form a team, one is to develop trains, the second is to develop railways, and the third is to develop special vehicles for road construction." ”

Zhu Gaoxian looked at his father, "Dad, my son wants to build a railway from south to north within five years, and this railway will be paved for my father to go outside the Great Wall, and my son will use a train to send my father's iron horse straight to the edge of the troubled river, and subdue the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so that they can bow down to their father!" ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but squint his eyes, he still remembered that when he discussed coal before, when he talked about how to transport coal from the north to the south, Jin Zhong said that it could be transported by water, and his son said that there would be a solution in the future.

Zhu Di's breathing became rapid all of a sudden, he couldn't imagine what a train was, but if there was a railway from south to north that could transport his army beyond the Great Wall, then it would not be a problem to transport coal from north to south.

That's what the son planned?

Although they didn't know what a train was, they didn't know what the railroad tracks were, and they didn't know what the special vehicles used to build roads were, but after seeing the benefits and disadvantages of Yan Jun's firearms and seeing the typewriter, the reader's broad vision told them that this was a very powerful thing.

Finally, a person took a deep breath, seemed to have made a lot of determination, stood up, and walked to Zhu Gaoxian, "The four princes, the student Zhang Ying, the son of Bingzikejuzi, has several acres of thin fields, and is willing to pay grain and serve as one with the people, but seek to enter the door of the four princes and learn this mechanical art of martial arts!" “

Someone really stood up, and the rest of the people waited, silent, looking at Zhang Ying with strange eyes.

Zhu Gaoxian looked at Zhang Ying at this time, the future Xuande Emperor's attendant is still so young, his face is full of vitality, so he will judge the situation and assess the situation, no wonder he will enter the cabinet in the future.

"Good!" Zhu Gaoxian praised loudly, "You are the first student I accepted, although I am younger than you, but you should also understand the truth of 'hearing the Tao has a precedence', for your sake, today, I will give a lesson to everyone here, why develop science and technology?" What is technology? “

Speaking of his profession, the light of absolute confidence wrapped Zhu Gaoxian, and the light revealed from his eyes, "What is technology?" Science and technology is the dialectical unity of science and technology, technology proposes topics, science completes topics, science is discovery, is the theoretical guidance of technology, technology is invention, is the practical application of science. ”

Of course, this theory is too profound, and we will not discuss it at the moment, but I will only let you remember one sentence: science and technology are the primary productive forces. Let me give you a simple example, the land under our feet, from ancient times to the present, is an agrarian society, from slash-and-burn farming, to later we use tools, to our domestication of cattle to help me plough the land, how many people can this land support? ”

"A ploughing ox, a plow, can plough one to two acres of land a day, the number of ploughing cattle will also be seriously insufficient, raising a cow, not an ordinary farmer can afford, this is the bottleneck. But what if we had a tractor to plow the land? As I said before, the prefectures and counties near Beijing have sent tractors to help farmers plough the land, and since last winter, from 30 or 40 mu a day at the beginning, to 40 or 50 mu a day now, how many times is the efficiency when you convert? “

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he changed the name of Beiping to Beijing, although he was born in the south, he was in Beiping for more than 20 years, which was once the place of his feudal domain, but also the land of Longxing.

"Some people will definitely say, how to cultivate the frozen land in the winter in the north? So let me tell you, what is the output power of the tractor? You may find it hard to imagine that after the ground is burned once, even if it is not completely unsealed, the plough does not move, but it does not mean that the tractor does not move, this is the difference. ”

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces, I don't know if you understand?" Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "To give another example, if you are interested, you can go to my textile workshop to see, the integrated machinery of spinning and weaving is much faster than your traditional hand-cranked spinning wheel and old-fashioned loom, as well as sewing machines, if you are interested, go and compare this efficiency." ”

"Therefore, the future society, the future of the Ming Dynasty, will enter a mechanical era, I plan to change everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation through science and technology, the reason why we want to set up a special vehicle project team, soon I will let everyone see that road construction, will not use labor, do not occupy the human resources of the people, mainly use machines."

Zhu Di was stunned, he thought that building a railway would launch a large number of conscriptions, but who knows, his son said that he would use machines to build roads, using special vehicles!

He couldn't imagine what kind of special vehicles could be used to build roads, but when he thought of the tractor, Zhu Di's blood boiled, his hands were trembling, and he was anxious to see a different Daming.

At this moment, another person stood up, "Student Wang Ji, I am willing to pay taxes and serve, and I am only willing to vote under the door of the Four Princes!" ”

There was a second, and then there was a third, more and more people stood up, and when there were enough of twelve, Zhu Gaoxian raised his hand to stop, "That's it, don't want the rest." Twelve of you, let your family pay this year's food as soon as possible, give me the voucher, and report to me! ”

There were only twelve people, and those who missed the opportunity with a little hesitation were annoyed at this time.

At today's competition meeting, because of Zhu Gaoxian's interruption, there were not many positions decided, and the new term "science and technology" quickly suppressed the novelty of the competition.

Back in the West Palace, Zhu Gaoxian began to work on his new technology, building a railway at the beginning, which is unlikely, cow, blow it up first, he is going to do one thing now, that is, to build a bicycle out.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

It is still no problem to use a bicycle on a dirt road in the countryside, so it will be much easier to get around.

It is certainly not easy to earn the money of the common people, but there are too many rich people in the Jiangnan area, so Zhu Gaoxian decided that when the time is right, he can also hold bicycle events to boost sales.

He wants to stir this generation, let the pulse of this era beat with his own rhythm.

Zhu Di specially allocated a house for his son, and he realized that the most important thing for his son to do these businesses was to keep them secret.

On the one hand, he sent Jinyi guards to Beijing to strictly guard against military science and technology in Beijing, and on the other hand, he deployed troops around the Ming Imperial Academy established by his son, and people who entered and left were searched to prevent leaks.
