Chapter 33: Bounty List
In addition to the rich gold and silver rewards, Fu Yuchen, who was originally in accordance with the new regulations of the dynasty, the title was no longer hereditary, and each generation must be demoted to the inheritance, and he was rewarded with equal inheritance of the marquis.
This is a great reward! Originally, if the Marquis of Jingbei died, his position as a first-class marquis fell to Fu Yuchen, and he had to be demoted to a second-class marquis.
I didn't think about it this time, but because of the invention of a printing press, it was directly equivalent to making a great contribution, and in the future, I could inherit the first-class marquis title of Jingbei Marquis equally.
That is, the Marquis of Jingbei is still alive, and he is still young and prosperous, Fu Yuchen wants to inherit his first-class marquis title is still far away, and the first-class marquis of the national dynasty is actually not very high, and it is a false position, which does not mean that he will be able to obtain the corresponding real power title in the future, and the subversive role of the printing press has a very far-reaching impact on the spread of national culture.
Because Fu Yuchen was underage, he just asked for the position of the son, and this reward was received by Fu Chuanyi, the Marquis of Jingbei, and when he came out of the palace, a group of ministers of the same hall congratulated him.
Fu Chuanyi politely accepted the congratulations and jokes of his colleagues, and kept laughing that his son was just a blind cat who caught a dead mouse, but on the other hand, he promised to go out for a lot of banquets, and his face was also full of red light, and he felt that he had a lot of face, and he felt that the punishment of his son the night before was a little too much.
Actually, this is also my son's talent! It was unexpectedly possible to invent such office utensils that were so popular with the literati that even military attachés used them!
The end of the court meeting does not mean that the ministers can go home from work, they also need to go back to their respective yamen duty rooms to handle official business, and the emperor will also go back to his diligent palace to review and receive important ministers to discuss state affairs.
At the same time, Fu Xuechen followed the sixth prince Yu Zuo and came to the Ministry of Industry again.
Yang Qian was carving wax paper, which was a document from the Ministry of Industry requesting the local officials of the prefectures, counties, and counties to cooperate with the Ministry of Industry to issue a reward list and solicit a document from a priest or other person who knew how to prepare mercury thunderate, and was ready to print about 1,000 copies, and after stamping the official seal, they were issued separately.
When Yu Zuo and Fu Xuechen came, he was almost two lines away from carving, so he asked Yu Zuo for permission to wait for him for a while in his duty room.
Fu Xuechen secretly felt guilty, this mercury thunderate was accidentally discovered by Western scientists after various experimental conditions were reached in later generations, and Yang Qian was so solemnly looking for people because she was misled.
With this mentality, Fu Xuechen couldn't help but pay more attention to Yang Qian with sympathy.
Yang Qian thought that this young man was smart and studious, so he handed her the first page of the printed document: "Fu Xiaohou Ye is the discoverer of the mercury thunder acid codex, and I also ask the little Hou Ye to refer to it in detail, do you think the essence of this reward list is appropriate?" ”
The corners of Fu Xuechen's lips twitched, knowing that Yang Qian was doing useless work, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to pretend to look at the documents seriously.
She knew in her heart that there was no such term mercury thunderate in this era, and Yang Qian was so specific in the document to find the author of the mercury thunderate preparation formula, a certain Fangshi, and his descendants or apprentices, there would be no results at all, so she couldn't help but put forward some opinions.
"Master Yang, with all due respect, the codex is yellow, and it looks very shabby, otherwise I wouldn't have burned it as waste paper at that time, and the Fang Shi who wrote the codex himself may not still be in the world, if his descendants are illiterate, or he has no descendants and apprentices, and the formula falls into the hands of other people, if you go to the list to solicit it, I'm afraid there will be no results."
Yang Qian had already considered that there would be such a possibility, but when he was broken by Fu Xuechen in person, he suddenly felt a hidden pain in his heart, and was very reluctant to make this speculation a fact, so he sighed heavily and said: "Do your best and listen to the destiny of heaven!" ”
Fu Xuechen looked at him with a depressed face, and his brows furrowed with infinite sorrow, and he was even more sympathetic: "There is no endless road, and he may not be the only one in the world who prepares things like mercury thunderate, right?" Maybe one day, someone else will be able to make it. ”
Fu Xuechen comforted, it really can't be done, one day in the future, when the conditions are right, she can also get out the preparation process of this mercury thunderate as much as possible.
Yang Qian's eyes lit up as if he had been inspired by something: "You're right! Although there are few monks in my Darong Empire, there are many Taoist priests, and they all like to engage in some rare secret recipes and elixirs in the world, the same thing, different monks and Taoists must have different names......"
"Little Hou Ye, you reminded me! This list of searching for people does not have to be limited to a narrow range, and the restrictions can be completely relaxed, as long as the characteristics can be made and the characteristics are consistent with that of mercury thunderate, you can come to the Ministry of Industry! ”
Yang Qian said happily, pulled over a blank piece of paper, brushed and redrafted a new list, this new list, the mercury thunderate refining needs to be used several materials are listed, even the general refining process, and the characteristics of the finished product are written, and finally remarks, all the people in the world who can refine such things, regardless of professional identity, regardless of men, women, old and young, can go to the Ministry of Industry with the formula or physical reward.
Fu Xuechen was stunned by his operation, and faintly felt that with the current population of tens of thousands in China and the ratio of hundreds of thousands of Taoist priests, perhaps, it is not known if someone has really figured out such a thing as mercury thunderate?
After writing the official document, Yang Qian handed over the matter of engraving wax paper printing to his subordinates, and took the six princes and Fu Xuechen to the firearms workshop again.
Without mercury thunderate as the primer, the firearm cannot be greatly improved, but some good things can still be used in the old firecracker, such as the safety bolt, such as the front sight and rifling, these ingenious designs, Yang Qian has taught the person in charge of the firearms workshop to trial production.
On the way, Yang Qian also wanted to find more things from Fu Xuechen's side, which can be described as saying all the good things, and his attitude was extremely warm and cordial, but unfortunately this time, Fu Xuechen made up his mind that he couldn't come out rashly, no matter how beautiful the other party said, he didn't say anything more.
She really has a lot of good things that can bring huge benefits to this era, from small soap and soap glass cement, to blast furnace steelmaking, industrial machine tools, and even electric lights and telephones...... But why should she rush to contribute to the Ministry of Works? When you grow up in the future, isn't it good to start your own workshop to make money?
Yu Zuo still maintains a high degree of curiosity, full of interest in these things, last time I saw the Artillery Workshop, this time I proposed to see the Artillery Workshop, I used to see it from a distance, this time I had the opportunity to touch it up close, where would he let go of the opportunity.
Fu Xuechen followed silently throughout the whole process, without saying a word, and even yawned a few times secretly.
Until Yang Qian took the two children to the test firing range of artillery.
