Xia Jing deeply believes that in the ancient imperial examination system, studying was to go for fame.

After studying well, you can be an official after the Miaozi Hall exam, and the inferior ones will go to the welfare of the people.

In short, as long as you have fame, it can be said that your life in ancient times was more comfortable than that of civil servants in later generations.

On the contrary, the craftsmen who improved the invention of practical tools had little social status.

"If Guozijian recruits students no longer only for those with merit and fame, but for students who are gifted in some aspects, is Sir willing to teach?"

"How is that possible? Not to mention that the threshold for Guozijian is extremely high, it is not up to you and me to open other courses. Ji Jingming felt that Xia Jing's words were simply fantastical, how could the imperial examination system that lasted for thousands of years be changed if it was changed.

Ye Fei wiped the stone bench next to him and put down a cushion.

Xia Jing walked over and sat down, feeling the cool breeze halfway up the mountain, "Actually, Mr. should be talented and learned, staying in Guozijian to manage logistics is a waste of time, and it is a big loss for Dayu." ”

When Ji Jingming heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

Xia Jing turned her head, looked at him and asked, "Sir, have you heard of the queen's iron workshop?" ”

Ji Jingming really paid attention to this matter, he nodded: "Well, I have heard that when the queen mother was in Lingnan, she opened such a workshop, which not only smelted steel, but also made countless ordnance with steel, making Lingnan soldiers and horses famous in Dayu and even the whole world, which can be said to be unique in the world." ”

Xia Jing didn't refute what he said, what he said was the truth, "What Mr. said is only part of the merits, the iron workshop later made a lot of flintlock pistols and steel cannons, and later even made boring machines and internal combustion engines. ”

For this era, the contribution of the iron workshop to Dayu can be said to be a great achievement.

Although she provided the drawings, there is no doubt about the skill of the craftsmen in the iron workshop.

"Boring machines and internal combustion engines?" For the iron workshop with secret technology, it is normal that Ji Jingming has not heard of it.

"Yes, the boring machine is a tool for making weapons such as flintlock pistols and steel cannons, and the internal combustion engine is a power source.

"This" was too high-tech for the ancients, and he was a little unaware of it.

Xia Jing smiled: "Mr. can go to the War Bureau to have a look if you have time." ”

Ji Jingming trembled, snorted, stared at Xia Jing and stammered, "You, you are"

"As you think, Mr. doesn't have to be excited, I also came up for a casual walk this time, I didn't expect to have a fate with Mr. and meet here." Xia Jing could probably guess that this Mr. Ji should have guessed her identity.

After receiving an affirmative reply, Ji Jingming stood up in fright and gave Xia Jing a salute: "Cao Min Ji Jingming, I have seen the queen's mother, I didn't know the identity of the mother before, if there is any rudeness, don't be surprised." ”

Xia Jing raised her hand and signaled: "Sir, please take a seat, I didn't reveal my identity before, and those who don't know are not guilty, so I bothered Mr. first." ”

Ji Jingming sat down nervously, this time his eyes didn't dare to look wildly.

Xia Jing knew that Ji Jingming couldn't be comfortable for a while, so she crossed over this matter and said, "Sir, do you think it's appropriate for Guozijian to open multiple classes?" ”

"This" Ji Jingming didn't dare to say nonsense, you must know that if this word came out of his mouth, he might become the public enemy of all the students in the world.

Students all over the world are proud of their talents, how can they be willing to go to and from school with craftsmen who are born as craftsmen.

Xia Jing frowned slightly, "Sir, do you think steel has a big impact on Dayu?" ”

"Great!" Ji Jingming replied without hesitation: "It can be said that the ordnance made of stainless steel gave Dayu soldiers courage, so that they were not afraid of being injured on the battlefield and marched forward bravely, invincible." ”

Xia Jing nodded and continued: "Sir, you know that the steel is smelted by the hard work of the craftsmen, and it has a far-reaching impact on Dayu. Does Mr. think that the craftsman has made a great contribution to Dayu? Compared to these students who only know all day long, who has contributed more? ”

Xia Jing didn't wait for Ji Jingming to answer, and pointed to the large wasteland on the other side of the mountain, "Have you seen that wasteland?" I plan to wait for the resettlement houses outside the city to be completed, and next year I will build an engineering college and a military academy in that area. Specialized and systematic training of Dayu's elites in all walks of life and the elite in the army. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Jing looked yearning: "Can you imagine the day when Dayu is full of talents?" ”

Don't look at the beginning of the crossing, Xia Jing wanted to lie down and live a retirement life, but after coming to this era for a few years, her thoughts will slowly change.

Mainly in the past few years, whenever I encounter the need to employ people, I find that talents are simply scarce in this era.

Ji Jingming couldn't imagine what the scene was like when there were many talents, mainly because the knowledge of the ancients limited his imagination.

Xia Jing also knows that she is a bit strong, "Do you know how to measure from an agricultural country to an industrial country? It's not about how much is produced in the field, it's about the amount of steel produced and the process of industrialization. This shows how important steel is in a country, and how much the craftsmen of the iron workshop have contributed to Dayu! ”

Ye Fei stood aside and looked at Ji Jingming's somewhat dazed expression, and suggested: "Master, why don't you send someone to accompany Mr. to go around, open our glass factory, textile factory, cement factory and military war bureau in the capital, and let him go to increase his knowledge?" ”

Xia Jing agreed very much when she heard it, and said that no matter how much it is, it is not as shocking as it is at first sight.

In this way, Ji Jingming was invited to get into the carriage and go down the mountain.

Watching the carriage disappear on the crater, Ye Fei asked the doubts in his heart, "Does the master think he can be the gentleman of the Engineering College?" ”

Xia Jing glanced at him, took the tea poured by Hongmei, drank half of it and said: "With his professional skills, he definitely does not meet the requirements of the College of Engineering for Mr., but his knowledge reserve is fine, and with this, he can barely enter the College of Engineering." ”

His professional skills are definitely not as good as the master craftsmen in the iron workshop, but the master craftsmen are illiterate, and they can't give lectures to students, in this case, this Ji Jingming can play his role.

Preaching and teaching to solve doubts.

If you can't solve the puzzle, Ji Jingming can ask the master craftsman, figure it out and then teach it to the students.

Over time, I believe that with his ingenuity, he should be able to cope with it easily.

Nowadays, Dayu's productivity is too backward, relying on manpower is too low after all, to achieve industrialization, first of all, agricultural production and transportation should be improved, so as to liberate more labor and improve production efficiency.

Ji Jingming was first sent to the cement factory outside the city, and he was no stranger to cement roads, because the roads in the capital were paved with cement.

He knew what he knew, but when he really walked into the production workshop, the roar of the machinery brought him a great shock.

This was also the first time that he felt the gap between the efficiency of human and mechanical work.

Then there was the glass factory.

"Father-in-law Xiaocheng, you can make glass by adding sand and stone to it?" Ji Jingming was shocked when he found the sand and gravel added to the hopper.

Xiao Cheng's father-in-law is the little eunuch sent by Ye Fei to be Ji Jingming's guide.

As soon as Xiaocheng's father-in-law heard his words, he smiled, "These sand stones are not ordinary sand stones, I don't know what kind of sand and gravel they are, alas, this master, you explain to him, what kind of sand and gravel is this?" ”

With that, he summoned a technician.

A technician from the glass factory came over when he heard this, nodded to the two of them, pointed to the sand and gravel in the hopper and said: "This is not ordinary sand and gravel, it is a mixed sand and gravel of silica, which is heated into a liquid form, and then poured into the prepared mold, and then"

The technician simply talked about the principle of glass production, and Ji Jingming and Xiao Chenggong were in a fog and didn't understand a word.

Mr. Ji Jingming didn't understand, so he asked: "Master, what is silica?" ”

"Silica is silica." The technician doesn't know what silica is, he only knows that this sand stone contains silica.

Ji Jingming was so arrogant by the technicians that he couldn't do it, he began to reflect on himself, he was praised by others for being smart since he was a child, is he really smart or are others just complimenting him for being smart?

Coming out of the glass factory, both of them fell silent, and let the coachman drive the car all the way.

When he arrived at the textile factory and got off the carriage, Ji Jingming asked Xiaocheng's father-in-law: "Xiaocheng's father-in-law, Niangniang likes to recruit craftsmen from all walks of life?" ”

Xiaocheng's father-in-law was also a eunuch who was originally on duty in the palace, and later went to Jiankang.

After the capital was recovered, it was kicked back.

He didn't follow Xia Jing from the beginning, how did he know the details of Xia Jing's situation.

He only knew a rough idea, and after listening to Ji Jingming's question, he nodded, "Well, Niangniang wants to do her best to improve the living conditions of the people." Food, clothing, housing and transportation, she is trying to improve. ”

When Ji Jingming heard this, he thought of the improved cement road, the resettlement houses being built outside the city, and the textile factory he stepped into at this moment.

It can be said that I don't want to know, pay a little attention and be startled, the queen mother has unconsciously had a profound impact on Dayu.

Ji Jingming sighed that her foresight and long-term vision are beyond the reach of ordinary men.

The textile factory was originally located in Lingnan.

Xia Jing had the first generation of Jenny machines made, which greatly improved the speed of women's weaving.

With this first-generation machine, Xia Jing recruited technical craftsmen to improve and combine the internal combustion engine and the textile machine, today's textile mill can be said to be semi-automated, textile workers only need to change the yarn, and the kinetic energy of the textile machine has been replaced by the internal combustion engine.

Ji Jingming entered the textile workshop, and when he saw the shuttle interspersed into afterimages, his head crashed on the spot.

Since when has Dayu progressed to the point of horror?

After a long time, Ji Jingming recovered from the shock, and he tugged on the sleeve of Xiaocheng's father-in-law, "Father-in-law, when you came in, didn't you tell me that the loom in here was moved by itself?" ”

Xiao Cheng's father-in-law also recovered from his stunned and pulled back the sleeves that were pulled tightly by him, "I'm also here for the first time, and I'm not much better than you." ”

The two supported each other and walked to the workshop, observing the movements of the machinery and the movements of the textile workers.

Ji Jingming noticed that the yarn in the hands of the workers was different, so he asked, "What kind of yarn is this, why is it so rough?" ”

The worker who was changing the thread listened to him, threw the replaced thread in the basket on the side, and took the time to reply: "This is wool thread." ”

"Wool thread?" Ji Jingming frowned slightly, is the wool thread the thread made of wool?

As soon as Xiao Cheng's father-in-law heard the wool thread, he instantly came to his senses: "I know the wool thread, I have heard of it, these wools are all provided by the herdsmen who migrated from the grassland, and a lot of them were purchased from the grassland, of course, the purchase price will not be too expensive."

After special treatment, it is spun into thread, and then spun into cloth, which is called wool nin. I heard the internal affairs deacon in the palace say that when the wool ni is woven to a certain amount, the soldiers in the army will be changed into military uniforms, and the military uniforms made of this wool ni will be used. ”

Ji Jingming has been in shock, he doesn't know when, Dayu's textile industry has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Dress up the army, don't you plan to sell these textiles?"

Xiao Cheng's father-in-law tilted his head slightly, and said as a matter of course: "Of course, I heard that this kind of wool ni is particularly warm, and the purpose of changing the army's clothes is to let the soldiers guarding the border be fed and clothed." ”

What can Ji Jingming say, how many years have passed, and the status of the soldiers has finally improved.

He was happy for the soldiers on the border, and the queen of Dayu remembered their hard work and remembered their dedication to Dayu.

Leaving the textile factory, the sky was slowly darkening, the north wind was blowing on the street, and the chill was rushing from the soles of the feet to the back, it was cold!

But at this moment, Ji Jingming didn't have the idea of going back at all, but wanted to take advantage of today's good day to visit the General War Bureau.

The heat of the war was in stark contrast to the cold wind outside.

When the sky darkened, the few people who were wrapped tightly outside had warmth as soon as they entered the military battle, and it was even warmer when they entered the workshop.

And many of the people working inside are still sweating in single clothes, which shows what kind of scene this workshop will be in summer.

When Ji Jingming saw the boring machine for forging ordnance, he asked curiously, "How did this drive?" ”

"Internal combustion engine!" Xiao Cheng's father-in-law rolled his eyes.

It wasn't too late for this man to remember the power of the machine.

"Internal combustion engine?" Ji Jingming was looking for the power source, and when he saw the internal combustion engine spitting smoke, he was startled: "Why is it on fire!" Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

"Poof!"

"Hahaha!"

"This internal combustion engine is smoking because it burns coal, not fire!" Xiaocheng's father-in-law has been to the military battle bureau a few times, but he has seen the world better than Ji Jingming.

Ji Jingming was stunned for a moment, stupid, and pointed to the internal combustion engine to confirm: "Is this roar and smoke really not that it is on fire and about to explode?" ”

Xiao Cheng's father-in-law and the steward next to him were very happy.

After Xiao Cheng's father-in-law laughed enough, he asked: "When I was in the textile factory, there was also an internal combustion engine driving the textile machine, why didn't I see you startled, why did you react so much in the final battle?" ”

Ji Jingming's round eyes and looked at Xiao Cheng's father-in-law, "You mean that the textile factory is also driven by this internal combustion engine?" ”

"Yes!"

"Why didn't you say it earlier, I had to observe more about how the internal combustion engine converts energy!" Ji Jingming was stunned by the speed of the loom at that time, and he didn't think to investigate how the power came from.

When he got here, it dawned on him, and he said

How do you feel that you missed 100 million?
