"Your Majesty, birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, there is no filial son in front of this long-term sick bed, my eldest son has been annoyed for several months, don't be sad." Tan Lun saw the appearance of His Majesty, and now His Majesty is as strong as a cow.

"Uh-huh." Zhu Yijun grabbed Tan Lun's hand, which was already skinny.

"Is Qi Shuai's campaign in Suiyuan going well?" Tan Lun's only unsolved long-cherished wish is Hetao, and he has no regrets in this life.

Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said loudly: "Qi Shuai found a big coal mountain and a big copper mountain in Suiyuan!" The campaign was very smooth, Altan Khan had already been killed, those small tribes, looking forward to the wind, all surrendered, and were well settled, and the three sides of the Ming Dynasty began to migrate to the Hetao, Qi Shuai, a few days ago, he also went to suppress the bandits. ”

"It's good to suppress bandits!" Tan Lun replied weakly.

Altan Khan walked in front of Tan Lun, before Wang Chonggu asked how to deal with it, a few days after the execution ground was opened, beheaded to show the public, and then the bodies of Altan Khan and others were buried in the Zhongyong Temple on the bank of the Yongding River, which was the 30th year of Jiajing, the Jiajing Emperor decreed that the ancestral hall built on the bank of the Yongding River for the people who died in the captivity.

Zhu Yijun and Tan Lun made a formal goodbye and told Tan Lun about the progress of Daming in Suiyuan, he said very slowly, as if he wanted to slow down time, but the knife of time is always so ruthless, Tan Lun listened and slowly closed his eyes, and his hand gently slid down on the recliner.

The chief medical officer wanted to remind His Majesty that the great Sima had already left, but the great medical officer didn't know what to say, so he could only wait quietly.

Zhu Yijun sat there and was silent for a long time, before he slowly stood up, the chief medical officer stepped forward to check it, and finally determined that he was gone, Tan Lun was in special physical pain during the period before he died, because the torture of the disease was more terrible than imagined, although the chief medical officer asked for the use of opioids to relieve this pain, even if it was a decoction, but Tan Lun's eldest son Tan Hetu resolutely refused, because this was Tan Lun's confession.

Tan Lun's life, life is a hard bone, and even when he dies, he is always so stubborn, he is unwilling to give in to anything.

Loyalty, in Zhang Juzheng's interpretation: loyalty to the monarch, loyalty to the country, loyalty to oneself, loyalty to one's own cognition, loyalty to one's own spirituality.

Tan Lun is loyal to his cognition and spirituality, and his open life is a gentleman's life and a free life.

Zhu Yijun still remembers that Tan Lun was impeached for coughing, and it was Tan Lun who didn't let Wang Chonggu bring his family's dog to Beijing to eat imperial food, and the power of the Jin Party was too powerful at that time;

Zhu Yijun remembered, remembered that Li Rusong was extremely crazy, heard that the Beijing Division had a governor's military affairs, and he insisted on leaving after passing the selection, Tan Lun took action to educate Li Rusong;

Zhu Yijun still remembers that Tan Lun wanted to send troops with the Beijing camp, to Liaodong, to Daningwei, to Yingchang, to Kaiping, and even to Bansheng, but he was pressed down by Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun still remembers that Tan Lun was preparing to kill the three ladies in Xuanfu, restart the war, and recover the Hetao, but in the end, for the final reconciliation between Daming and Beiyu, he endured the killing intent, so that Daming made more adequate preparations, and the cavalry battalion formed combat effectiveness.

Zhu Yijun remembered all the things about Tan Lun, he was very grateful to Tan Lun for his exploits in the peace, and remembered that Tan Lun had been sleepless for seven consecutive days in the captivity, and finally fell ill.

"Your Majesty, Da Sima is gone." The chief medical officer Li Shizhen finally confirmed Tan Lun's death.

"I, I know, let's collect the funeral, prepare for the official burial in the Xishan Mausoleum." Zhu Yijun walked a few steps, turned around and left the Great Sima Mansion, he stood in front of the shadow wall of the gate, stunned for a moment.

He repeatedly told himself that he was no longer the age of Deliang Youchong, he had to be strong, as the king of a country and the lord of the society, he could not show cowardice and give people an opportunity.

"Let's go back to the palace." Zhu Yijun completely restrained his emotions in the depths of his heart, and then sat on the throne.

Feng Bao shook off the dust vigorously, and shouted loudly in his voice: "Get up." ”

The Ministry of Officials posthumously presented the prince Taibao, the Ministry of Rites drew up the nickname Xiangmin, more than 30 years between the soldiers, the first merit of 21,500 wonderful, for the dry city of the country, plus Yueyang Bo, from the Houzhi burial ceremony, buried in the Xishan Mausoleum, and Zhangping Hou Yu Dayou in the same column.

Zhu Yijun issued an order to drop out of the dynasty for three days to mourn, and on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Yijun again issued an order to drop out of the dynasty for two days.

Zhang Juzheng was a little helpless, although His Majesty always showed a ruthless and ruthless political machine, but in fact, Zhang Juzheng knew his disciples too well, His Majesty was a person of the most affectionate and sexual, but as a king, he had to become that indifferent and ruthless appearance, Zhang Juzheng reminded His Majesty many times, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, Your Majesty ascended the throne at the age of ten, and many people will be sent away in this life.

But Zhang Juzheng had no choice.

When Zhu Yijun appeared in front of everyone again, he seemed to have returned to normal, with a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, he rarely appeared in the lights of Aoshan, rewarded the artists who performed the iron flower, and told the subjects of the Ming Dynasty that the Ming Emperor was still very good.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yijun's car came to the side of the Wenhua Palace, he pedaled his landlubber, these five days, Zhu Yijun did come from the sadness, Tan Lun left no regrets, he entered Beijing after running to advocate the Northern Parallel Division (Kaipingwei to Daningwei), Hetao, have all returned to the Ming Dynasty, and even found the Tang Shangguan of the Ministry of War, not to delay the normal operation of state affairs.

In addition to being a little too conservative and Tan Lun's extreme radicalism, Zeng Xingwu has completed a lot of work in the military department.

Man dies three times, physically, socially, and spiritually. Physical death is the end of life, and life activities are terminated after the organs have made the last shutdown feedback to the brain; Social death is the gradual disappearance of all the people who have a relationship with him, and the complete death of social relations is only a tablet, standing alone there to bear the incense.

The death of the spirit is that everyone forgets his name, and the traces he left in history are completely covered, and no one remembers his name again.

This is also a name that lasts forever, as long as someone remembers, it is immortality, and his spirit will always be mentioned and sung by people.

Tan Lun is indeed gone, but his spirit is still shining on Daming and continues to move forward.

Wang Chonggu didn't have much chance in the past, he was an arrogant courtier before, so when the emperor stretched out his hand and handed him a pair of scissors, a formula, and a wool brush, Wang Chonggu seized the opportunity.

Wang Chonggu wants to have mixed reviews, at least not a flood of bad reviews.

Feng Bao Zhang took four small yellow doors to lift His Majesty's dragon chair to the platform, this is the ascending seat, Zhu Yijun took the return to Tian Shu in his hand, the old man has passed away, and the headache is still a headache.

Whether to completely reform the land and push forward the land movement of Qingzhang led by Zhang Juzheng, the courtiers were divided into two factions, one faction Zhang Juzheng, the other faction Wang Chonggu, the New Year was like pressing a pause button for the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming princes had secretly fought many times.

Zhang Juzheng still did not convince Wang Chonggu, even if he came up with the argument that the iteration speed of the steam engine would exceed everyone's imagination, he still failed to convince Wang Chonggu that the official factory group construction needs a large number of cheap craftsmen, even if the median annual labor remuneration is tens of silver, and the children can go to school in the government-run school, the craftsmen are still cheap.

Compared with the terrifying profits of the official factory, the unit price of the craftsmen is still extremely cheap.

Zhang Juzheng's return to the fields was sparse, and the resettlement was also hooligans, hooligans, those who had no houses and no land were called hooligans, those who were unemployed and idle were called hooligans, and those tenant servants and slaves were also hooligans, which was to rob the population with the government, factories and regiments.

Daming Dingkou is thousands, but there is still a shortage of people in the official factory group, otherwise how can the major weaving bureaus use a large number of weavers? The introduction of women's unions has drawn some criticism, but it has alleviated the gap.

At the court meeting, the Ming Duke chose not to talk about it, reported the progress of the work of Wanli in the ninth year, looked forward to the work plan of the Wanli ten years, the census of Dingkou, the abolition of the untouchable, these two things are the ten years of Wanli to carry out the matter, for the abolition of the untouchable, after an in-depth discussion, the Ming Dynasty decided to start with the deed of sale.

At the same time, Zhejiang lazy people, Shaanxi Lezhi, Shanxi Lezhi, Beijing Lehu, Guangdong Tan (dàn) households, Zhejiang nine surnamed fishing boats, Anhui's companion servants, Jiangsu beggars, etc., abolished the untouchable registration, and those who did not have household registration in the past will be given household registration in this census.

But some of the lowly people need to be discussed, that is, after the sinners, such as the Xindu Yang family, Yanzhou Confucian Mansion, Songjiang Xu family, Puzhou Zhang family, etc., the clan is not punished under the age of fifteen, and some of their family members and descendants are demoted to lowly status, so the status of these people should be restored after five generations.

In fact, there is a better way, that is, these children simply change their names and surnames and become children of other people's families, so as to avoid the lowly status at the legal level and obtain normal civil status.

As for the abolition of untouchable status, it was not achieved overnight, but in the process of census and Dingkou, step by step.

For example, the Tanhu take the boat as their home, fishing as their business, they are not allowed to live ashore, their lives are uncertain, and their clothes are different from ordinary people, even if they are given status by the law, they have no place to go, so how to settle them, the Ming Dynasty also gave a solution, Tamsui Town and Xinglongzhuang on Jilong Island, Miyan Harbor and Nila in Luzon, or the Old Port and Malacca in the Old Port Governor's Palace.

These are all places to go, and when you get to a new place, you will have a new life, surrounded by pioneers and reclaimers, and it will be easier to unite the people.

It's a delicate job, and it's far from being as simple as you think.

There is another type of people, the court has a special headache, that is, prostitutes, prostitutes are coercive, they are sold to the human tooth shop, and the education they receive is all to serve people, and some even wrap their feet three inches, not to mention working, it is difficult to walk on the ground, and even take off their shoes, unable to walk, for this kind of people, it is useless to abolish the lowly status, and some of them are lazy, that is, because of laziness, they enter the green building, and the fireworks world is charming.

After such a repeal, it is actually no different from not repealing.

In the end, the imperial court decided to abolish the prostitution as a whole, and let it go, the imperial court did not have such a strong executive power, and the administrative power was not so great to solve this problem.

In the end, the court did not discuss the return of the field, Wang Chonggu was still actively discussing with Zhang Juzheng, persuading Zhang Juzheng to give up the plan to return the field, Wang Chonggu's reason is also very sufficient, the court Qingzhang collects taxes, which is also the proper meaning, otherwise how can the sailor feed? How to feed Jingying? How to afford the post station's annual expenditure of more than 2 million silver?

However, in all dynasties, whenever the land system is moved, the new policy will come to an abrupt end, and the intensity of the struggle will rise sharply to an extremely terrifying level.

Zhang Juzheng was also slightly shaken by what Wang Chonggu said, and he himself was not particularly supportive, so Zhang Juzheng took Wang Chonggu to the Wenhua Palace, and after the court meeting, His Majesty did not do his business in the side hall of the Wenhua Palace, which can be regarded as an open secret.

Zhu Zaiyu was also in the side hall of the Wenhua Palace, and the queen Chitose Wang Yaozhuo was also wrapped in a red da, watching the performance of the imperial uncle with great interest.

Zhu Zaiyu, the king of Damingde, came to ask for funds, which everyone knows, and even in order to get funds, King De also asked the queen mother to order and invite his disciple Wang Yaozhuo to come forward and convince His Majesty together, mainly for the research and development expenses of the steam engine, in fact, it is not necessary to do so, the Gewu Academy wants funds, Zhu Yijun has never disapproved, and even gave more.

After Wang Yaozhuo entered the palace, he read and read in the inner study, followed Zhu Zaiyu to learn arithmetic and music theory, and the piano in the side hall was Wang Yaozhuo's, and the battle was fierce at that time, Zhu Yijun pointed to the soothing sound of the piano to relax his mind, and it has not been broken over the years.

Zhu Zaiyu said excitedly: "Your Majesty, every time the minister imagines that picture, he feels excited, and his face is red, which is difficult to understand, but in general, it is a matter of dying at night." ”

"A few days ago, we found a lot of small insects in the water under the microscope, which opened the door to the world of mustard seeds, and then the doctors of Gewu in the Gewu Academy guessed, can this world be subdivided like this?"

"For example, water, is it made up of small insects between them? Before, we couldn't see the insects in the water, but now that we see it, maybe we can't observe it, so we think that the water is a whole, so is it possible that the water is composed of elementary particles? ”

"We can prove this very clearly."

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhu Zaiyu and blinked, he clearly knew what Zhu Zaiyu said, he was talking about water molecules, but in this era, how can Zhu Zaiyu prove it?

Could it be that the world of geniuses is so exciting?

In the tenth year of Wanli, the microscope used the reflection microscope and the magnification was still not more than 100 times, and it was very difficult to observe the moons of Jupiter, through the observation of Europa and calculation, it was determined that light did have a speed, because the time of the appearance of Europa was always later than calculated, but it was extremely difficult to figure out the speed of light.

Now, Zhu Zaiyu wants to prove the existence of molecules to the emperor.

It's just, fantastical.

"Oh, Uncle Huang said carefully, Mr. and Second Assistant, come and listen too." Zhu Yijun was curious about how Zhu Zaiyu wanted to prove it.

"Your Majesty, this is a glass bottle with a pound of water stored in it, we now light the stove, the water starts to heat up, it gets hotter and hotter, it starts to boil, the water turns into steam, it's very common, isn't it?" Zhu turned on the alcohol lamp and began to heat a bottle with a long neck.

The water in the glass bottle began to bubble, then slowly boiled, water vapor began to appear, and the water slowly boiled dry.

"The water vapor slides along the glass bottle and then starts to condense, and it can't condense at the hot end that is still heating, and the water vapor starts to move with the hot air towards the cold end, and slowly condenses into water droplets at the cold end, and it hangs on the glass wall, and they start to converge and then concentrate on this side, which is very common because that's what we do when we distill alcohol, but it's more complicated." Zhu Zaiyu pointed to the position of the long neck, and the water droplets condensed and flowed downstream.

The long neck is long, and the weather in the New Year is cold, and the water is sliding to the bottom.

Zhu Zaiyu pointed to the gathered distilled water and said with confidence: "After we move this device outside, it will only take half an hour for it to condense into ice." ”

"I know, I have seen the distillation of the national cellar with my own eyes, may I ask Uncle Huang, what does this have to do with the molecule you are talking about, no, water is made of elementary particles?" Zhu Yijun spread his hands, he understood what Zhu Zaiyu was doing, isn't this the water cycle of why it rains in the 100,000 why is it raining?

Teasing children?

Zhu Zaiyu clapped his hands, with an ecstatic expression on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the secret, if water is made up of elementary particles, then all this is normal. ”

"The heat of the alcohol lamp makes the water that is tightly bound together... The molecules, gradually becoming active, they kept moving, slowly and gradually breaking free from each other, and then drifted away in the air, when they encountered the cold, the movement gradually slowed down, began to condense, when it was colder, their movement became more and more slight, fixed together, began to freeze. ”

"Heat is the main thing that determines whether they are water, steam, or freezing."

"You can't observe that scene, but just imagining that scene makes it feel amazing."

Zhu Yijun immediately understood, and at the same time felt the unevenness of the world, genius is really jealous!

From the things that are accustomed to life, coupled with reasonable imagination, there is an almost axiomatic existence, and it is so cleverly explained clearly.

"It's true that people can't imagine things they haven't seen, but Dr. Gewu has seen the insects in the water with their own eyes, and people are also made up of mustard insects, which are strange and constantly moving." Zhu Zaiyu thought that the emperor did not understand, and the water turned into steam, dispersed, and condensed into water again, and finally the heat was further reduced to ice.

What a logical and self-consistent conjecture.

Zhu Zaiyu further said: "Your Majesty, there are many examples of ministers, such as iron, we put coke into the blast furnace, and use a blower to blow the heated air into the furnace cavity, the coke burned violently, the iron began to heat, the heat became higher and higher, and it became molten iron, just like ice turned into water, their molecules were moving, the higher the heat, the faster the movement. ”

"For example, what is a flame? Flames need air, heat and combustibles, and when we give combustibles a heat to combust, the combustibles react wonderfully with certain molecules in the air, releasing more heat and making more combustibles more active. ”

Zhu Yijun interrupted Zhu Zaiyu, stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, Uncle Huang, tell me directly, how much does it cost." ”

"This year may cost a million silver, because the improvement of the steam engine is more used, and the steam turbine has not achieved any results." Zhu Zaiyu returned to the macrocosm from his imagination of the microcosm, he was just a king of virtue, the cost of the Gewuyuan was very large, and those strange experiments were all smashed out of silver.

"Feng Daban, take the acceptance bill of the internal money." Zhu Yijun directly wrote the acceptance bill, handed it to Zhu Zaiyu, and said very sincerely: "Uncle Huang, next time you can just say how much you want, you don't have to show your talent anymore, I already know that Uncle Huang is a genius." ”

"Your Majesty's name for this molecule is excellent." Zhu Zaiyu didn't expect to ask for funds from the stingy Majesty at all, so easily, he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's whimsical ideas are just crazy conjectures in the eyes of others. ”

Zhu Zaiyu really likes His Majesty the Emperor, except that His Majesty doesn't like music theory, because of his whimsical ideas, when communicating with others, he is always ridiculed as delusional, or simply playing the piano to the cow, only when communicating with His Majesty, Zhu Zaiyu can clearly see His Majesty's surprise and listen carefully.

Zhu Yijun said very seriously: "Uncle Huang, I am very rich, go ahead and do what you want." ”

"Obey." Zhu Zaiyu left happily with a million silver acceptance bill, which means that this year's time, the doctors of Gewu will not come to bother him for funds, and the officials and supervisors of the Ming Dynasty have an administration in the Gewu Academy, and they are very strict with every expenditure of silver, but they will not obstruct any experiment, as long as it is used for experiments, no matter how weird, it will be supported.

"Sir, do you understand what Uncle Huang is saying?" Zhu Yijun was curious if Zhang Juzheng understood.

Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment before he spoke: "His Royal Highness King De means that whether it is a person or a thing, it is actually composed of smaller molecules, and these molecules will have different forms under different heat, this is because these molecules are constantly moving, the higher the heat, the more active, their movement, like a small mustard insect in the microscope, is constantly moving, water, steam, and ice are all water, but they are different forms under different heats. ”

"Between solids, liquids and gases, because heat is different, there is a need for endothermic and exothermic."

"Does the girl understand?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Yaozhuo.

Wang Yaozhuo nodded and said, "It's not particularly difficult to understand. ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao and Zhang Hong, the two looked at each other, but Wang Chonggu was thoughtful.

What Zhu Zaiyu said is a very abstract thing, people who have not studied it systematically will think that Zhu Zaiyu is crazy, but it is such crazy words that he easily took away a million silver from His Majesty.

From the constantly jumping lid of the pot that was topped by steam, Zhu Zaiyu saw not only the power of steam, but also some mysteries of the microcosm.

I have to say that in the minds of geniuses, there may be a world completely different from ordinary people.

Wang Yaozhuo saw that His Majesty had something to do and chose to leave, she saw that His Majesty was slightly anxious, every time at this time, Wang Yaozhuo would play the piano to calm His Majesty, maybe it was the sound of the piano, maybe it was a familiar person, or maybe it was just because of her, His Majesty was willing to let go of so many thoughts and think about the essence of the problem.

Wang Chonggu's attitude has always been very clear, opposing the law of returning land, he said with great confidence: "Your Majesty, Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law is perfect from the institutional point of view, which not only ensures the tax revenue of the imperial court, but also ensures the livelihood of homeless small farmers, and will not harm the township sages and gentry, but since the Qingmiao Law came out, the township sages and gentry began to destroy it frantically, why did they destroy the Qingmiao Law?" ”

"For profit." Zhu Yijun thought for a while and answered Wang Chonggu's question.

Wang Chonggu shook his head and said: "It's not for profit, if it's just for that little profit, you will be at risk of killing your head, and you need to take care of it. ”

"For more than 300 years in the Two Song Dynasty, there was no land system and no annexation, but as soon as the Qingmiao Law came out, even in the year of disaster and famine, small farmers could borrow the grain that the imperial court often closed to survive the crisis. The Qingmiao Law is actually a field system, which is why the village sages and gentry are so unscrupulous to destroy the New Deal. ”

"Once the law on returning land is implemented, I am afraid that it will be boiling."

Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment, looking at Wang Chonggu with a very solemn expression.

Wang Chonggu continued: "Your Majesty, in fact, our Ming Dynasty is powerful and can accept the loss of interests, for example, Yin Zhengmao demolished the door in order to pacify the Japanese, and the two Guangjin gentry also pinched their noses and recognized it, after all, the Japanese invaded the state and county, it was really murder and arson, and there was no evil, and the two Guangjin gentry were concerned about Yin Butang being too greedy. ”

"Ling Yunyi killed people like hemp, in order to force the Liangguang gentry to pledge and pacify the rebellion of the Yao people in Luoshan, that place has been chaotic for many years, people and horses cannot pass, and they often loot everywhere, although the two Guangjin gentry are not willing to die, but they also recognize that Ling Butang kills all the people who deserve to die."

"Yuanfu Qingzhang returned to the field, Qingzhang was to collect taxes, the imperial court was well known to have a big loss, the north captivated the south, the Japanese invaded the southeast, the imperial court collected taxes, set up a Beijing camp, paid the border army to resist the enemy, formed a naval division, protected the sea frontier, and the time was a little longer, and it was also recognized."

"But the thing that touches the root of life is cooking oil with fire."

Wang Chonggu remembered what Zhu Zaiyu said just now, returning the field is the heat that ignites the fire, the acres are the coke, and the township sages and gentry are the air, once the field is promulgated, it is to ignite the contradiction between man and land, when the fire burns, no one will know where the Ming will go.

The fundamental contradiction of the Ming Dynasty is the contradiction between man and land, the contradiction of annexation, and the contradiction of the means of production.

"What does Wang Cifu mean is to let me surrender to the powerful and virtuous gentry?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and asked calmly.

"Damn it." Wang Chonggu knew that His Majesty was really angry, and he hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

Zhu Yijun instead motioned to Zhang Hong to hold Wang Chonggu, shook his head and said: "Get up and speak, I won't kill people because of my words, Wang Cifu's words are very reasonable, but I am ready, return to the field, I have made up my mind." ”

"In the world of great contention, the strong are strong, and the weak are dead."

"Your Majesty, how can you put it into practice? Your Majesty is for the people of the world, but how can you achieve it? Who's going to do this? Who will oversee it? Who will organize, and furthermore, use what force to fight against the counterattack of the mad townsmen and gentry? Your Majesty, the 100,000 people in Beijing are all elites, but there are only 100,000. Wang Chonggu did not stop admonishing, but even more fiercely obstructed.

Your Majesty is a very easy person to understand and very simple, you can oppose it before the holy decree is issued, but once it is passed by the court, it must be twisted into a rope.
