"Wechen obeys." Xu Guangqi thanked him, paused, and said, "Your Majesty, most of the gunpowder stored in Wang Gong's factory has been moved and stored in a scattered manner. Those allocated to the military towns will also begin to be shipped one after another. ”

Wang Gong Factory is the royal arsenal, also known as the Gunpowder Bureau, which is a place dedicated to making gunpowder and used for the prohibition of soldiers in Beijing.

Considering that if there was a war, the city would definitely be guarded behind closed doors, and that gunpowder was an important war material, so it was arranged inside the city rather than outside the city.

The gunpowder factory must be very dangerous, so for the safety of the palace, it was arranged in a place in the middle of the city, about three kilometers away from the palace. This was probably the safe distance at the time!

According to statistics, the daily output of Wang Gong factory is about two tons, and the standing reserve is about 1,000 tons. If there is no war, the consumption of gunpowder is less, and the reserves will be larger, even two or three thousand tons.

Zhu Youxiao doesn't remember, but Wang Gong's factory explosion can't forget. It doesn't matter if the gunpowder touches the sparks, or some other mysterious reason, you can move away as soon as possible.

A thousand tons, two or three thousand tons, right in the city, scared the baby to death.

Even if it's black powder, how many hemp thunderbolts it must be, it makes people's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

After listening to Xu Guangqi's report, Zhu Youxiao put his heart back, explained a few more words, and ended this meeting.

Watching Xu Guangqi exit the hall with a few ghosts, Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne and pursed the corners of his mouth.

Scientists who don't want to be foreign teachers are not good missionaries, so you should work well for me!

As for Catholicism and Christianity, there is no need to be afraid of it. At least compared with Buddhism and Taoism, it is not necessarily more useless, and there is also the advantage of natural science!

Zhu Youxiao believed that nine times out of ten, foreign "God" would not be able to defeat China's "God."

God is a drop of us, a drop of black hair and yellow skin.

Besides, you can look at Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua and other Chinese people who threw themselves into the arms of God. In the same way, they are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and they are much better than those civil officials who are full of benevolence and morality and denounce them as "infidels".

From another angle, Xu Guangqi is not so much worshipping God as worshipping the truth. He believes that there is no kingdom for truth, and it can be used to "nourish the king, sway Confucianism, and save Buddhism."

Xu Guangqi once talked to Zhu Youxiao about his attitude towards these foreign friends, and believed that these foreigners had characteristics that Chinese Confucians did not have: they had expertise in learning and rejuvenated the country through technology.

Zhu Youxiao also had to admit that these missionaries who came to China did not have the ugly image of the colonies in history. On the contrary, the gringos Xu Guangqi knows still have some personality charm.

As for those who are worried about the invasion of foreign cultures, they insist on explaining that the DPRK's science and technology are not lagging behind, but are only scattered, and they are completely self-reliant and can catch up.

Zhu Youxiao did not agree, because he saw and heard, and it was an immersive feeling. Instead of typing on the keyboard on the computer, looking for evidence that Ming Dynasty technology was ahead of the world in the pile of old papers.

It is too much to be complacent and work behind closed doors, to create a theoretical system of basic science on your own, to discard the science that already exists, and to see a few missionaries as a flood of beasts.

What else is the criticism that "the king of Chu has a thin waist and starves to death in the palace", you are an emperor who advocates Western learning, not to bring bad social atmosphere and facilitate the cultural aggression of gringos?

I don't advocate Western studies, but science, and if that's a problem, I admit it. As for cultural aggression, or is it a shadowless thing, choking on food for this?

In fact, in the final analysis, striking iron must be its own, and it also depends on the governance of the country.

Both the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty died due to the decay of their own systems and the poverty of the people.

As long as the country is strong, the people are rich, and the national pride is full, the long and excellent cultural tradition can be inherited forever.

Besides, I am the emperor, and I am the "God". If you let you pass it on, you can pass it on, and if you don't let you pass it, you will roll the calf!

I don't know about the forbidden religion of the Tokugawa shogunate, but I want to do it, and I am more ruthless and neat than them.

Western learning is gradually moving east, and China and the West are exchanging. The current Zhu Youxiao is full of these words.

Although the impact of Western culture on traditional culture has pros and cons, he also has some concerns.

But he also knows that Chinese civilization and Chinese culture are not closed and blocked, but should be inclusive and inclusive.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao was disappointed when he saw that those literati and doctors stubbornly opposed all innovations and used the ancestral system as an excuse at every turn.

Even when they were constantly defeated by the Later Jin in military affairs, they were resolutely opposed to the introduction of foreign technology to manufacture muskets and artillery. He knew that the Confucian tradition had lost its magnanimous and open spirit.

I was anxious to seek treatment, but you told me to reflect on it first and cure my heart; I need all kinds of talents, but you say that ethics comes first; I ask for the art of retreating from the enemy to win, and you will come to be benevolent and righteous, and you are especially benevolent and invincible!

Without the practical effect of applying to the world and the ability to adapt to the changes of time, there are only clichés and empty slogans such as "pro-virtuous ministers", "far villains", "chaste and law-abiding", "respecting the national system", and "punishing officials and evils".

Under the internal and external troubles, I have not yet had the courage and ability to overturn the new one, so I will force internal reform and conceptual renewal through external shocks!

What is gentle and far away, I let you know the "law of the jungle"; What ancestral law is immutable, I invite the evolutionary old demon Darwin......

"The Emperor." Zhang Yu'er quietly approached and reminded softly: "The ghost is gone!" ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced up, and immediately understood this girl's thoughts, got up with a smile and said, "Let's go, let's go and see the tribute sent by the ghost." ”

Zhang Yu'er immediately smiled happily, followed behind the emperor, and walked out of the palace.

To say that these ghosts also know the rules of Chinese etiquette very well, people don't come with empty paws.

Telescopes, chiming bells, eight-tone pianos, globes, "Atlas of the Worlds", "Atlantic pianos", etc., there are as many as 18 tributes listed on the gift list.

It's all European things, Zhang Yuer is curious, and she wants to take a closer look at the fiddling and fiddling, and she wants to know what these things are for.

Atlantic, I can still play such a song, for all the women of the couple (four for the time being), sing a song "Love me, are you afraid", "Don't be afraid", "Don't be afraid", "Don't be afraid", "Don't be afraid", "What are you afraid of, what are you afraid of", "What are you afraid of......", "What are you afraid of", "Are you afraid", "Are you afraid", "Are you afraid", "Are you afraid", "Are you afraid", "Don't be afraid", "Don't be afraid",

Zhu Youxiao's mood should be happy, except for the contributions of the ghosts, he overturned Li Sancai, but he got more than 4 million, and he was almost able to survive this year.

What's more, it's easy for me to see the money back!
