Chapter 412: The Steam Engine Appears and the Horse is Beaten


Bang dang!

Bang dang!

Bang dang!

The swarthy steam loom was constantly running, making the sound of metal parts colliding against each other.Streams of white mist sprayed out of the loom's mouth during the crash.A young eunuch of Shang Gongjian personally added coal to the mouth of the machine, and while adding it, he also looked at the emperor Zhu Youxiao and Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing and other elites in the mechanical field of the Ming Dynasty on the side, regardless of the sweat on his head and still smiling.The reason why the young eunuch was smiling was that the emperor was here, and because he had also contributed to the steam loom, and he had also made meritorious service because of it, and was rewarded with a fortune and a medal that could be favored by His Majesty the Emperor and awarded by the Emperor himself.Zhu Youxiao was also very happy.He knows better than anyone how much impact the productivity revolution brought about by the successful development of this steam engine will have on the entire human civilization, and how many unpredictable changes will occur in a super farming empire like the Ming Dynasty.Historically, the West mastered many theories of modern science ahead of the East, and then developed strong ships and cannons, which opened the door to China.At that time, the scholars called it a great change unseen in 3,000 years.Zhu Youxiao believes that such a great change cannot be produced in the era in which he is now living, and it must be invaded by outsiders.Since the first steam engine that has appeared in the Ming Dynasty now, this great change will appear internally, and some scholars and doctors who hold on to Cheng Zhu Lixue will feel pain because of such a big change, and even make some senseless struggles, and even some stupid behaviors, and then will eventually be denounced as old antiques by latecomers."

As soon as this machine comes out, the world will undergo great changes, how much the national strength of my Ming Dynasty will be enhanced, and how rich the people will be, it is immeasurable, even if there is no me, it will not be able to go back to the past, the general trend has been achieved, and it is impossible to stop it if you change a king!

Therefore, Zhu Yanxi looks to heaven to let me die as soon as possible, it is useless and extremely ignorant, and his knowledge is still at the level that changing a king can make the world safe. ”After Zhu Youxiao observed the successful operation of the steam loom, he couldn't help but tell Xu Guangqi and other scholars who had the same philosophy as himself about Zhu Yanxi's great rebellious remarks when he was arrested.After hearing this, Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty mistook the holy name for the protection of the constitution of the country, as a courtier, I really admire, and I am also indignant for Zhu Yanxi's words, but now Your Majesty says so, with the minister's humble opinion, it is also very much, the general trend of the world, not human can do, nor can it be stopped except for one person or a group of people, and the way of this saint can not be changed by one person, the flowing water is not corrupt, and the knowledge of governing the country in the world is the same, it needs to keep pace with the times, only the integration of practice can be penetrated, Your Majesty does not stick to the scriptures, and is willing to work with the ministers to ponder the art of applying the world, And has his own opinions, he is really an emperor who can be supported by all the people!

”"Do you need to keep pace with the times and integrate practice to get through?"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Xu Guangqi, a Wenchen who belonged to the different kind of Great Ming Scholars, in surprise.Then, Zhu Youxiao suddenly made up his mind and said, "Spread the order!"

Xu Aiqing later served as the president of the Emperor's Hadith, and edited and updated the version of the Emperor's Hadith for me, so that the meat eaters of the world would know how to keep up with the times. ”Xu Guangqi was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood the emperor's deep meaning, and said excitedly: "The minister obeys the order!"

”At this time, Wei Zhongxian came over: "Emperor Qiyu, those eunuchs who followed Liu Ruoyu's rebellion have been tried, and the courtiers involved include Feng Quan, the great uncle, Ji Menghuan, Zuo Tongzheng, He Wuyu, Shao Zhan, Zhu Yanxi, etc., please take a look at the emperor." ”As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian handed a stack of confessions to Wang Chengen.And after Zhu Youxiao took the confession from Wang Chengen, he read it carefully, and after reading it, he didn't say much, only said: "All the main culprits are arrested, and their families are also copied and put in prison!"

”"Yes!"

Wei Zhongxian replied.Xu Guangqi therefore said: "Your Majesty, although these befriended ministers, and even the prisoners who were planted in the palace will be found out in the future, but the ministers want to come, I am afraid that many of the clans of these prisoners will take risks and rebel against the imperial court.

The southern and western kingdoms have all accumulated resentment against the hegemony of our Ming Dynasty in recent years for the benefit of their own country, so the ministers are worried that if they do not deal with it well, they may cause great turmoil!

At the very least, such turmoil must be avoided. ”Then, Xu Guangqi said: "Not only the ministers have this worry, but also the auxiliary ministers of the political affairs hall have this worry. ”"The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming to cover the earth!"

Zhu Youxiao directly replied to Xu Guangqi's sentence, and said: "Although it is said that the reckless use of military force will consume the national strength and people's wealth, but as a big country, how can the Ming Dynasty have no war for a day, and no war will not enable the elite soldiers to have a chance to train. ”"Yes!"

Xu Guangqi replied.…… Princess Le'an and other pioneers and Yu Linwei, the guards on duty in Daming Garden, were rewarded for their meritorious service.Among them, Princess Le'an was promoted to Princess Boryeong by Zhu Youxiao, and Lu was added to the standard of 3,000 stones.In order to make the children of the royal family have the enterprising spirit of hard work, Zhu Youxiao has also readjusted the title of the female princess of the royal family, mainly the princess title has become three types, including county-level princesses, prefecture-level princesses, county-level princesses and national-level princesses.And the eighth sister of the emperor changed from Princess Le'an to Princess Boryeong, which can be regarded as being promoted to the rank of knighthood.However, Zhu Youxiao did not let the official go to the princess's mansion to deliver the decree, he planned to go in person, by the way, to see his royal sister, and by the way to solve a palace internal affairs that urgently needed to be reformed.Zhu Youxiao had been busy with the reform of internal affairs and external affairs of the foreign courts, but he did not notice that some very unfriendly or even unreasonable systems in the court needed to be changed.Now, Zhu Youxiao learned some things about Princess Le'an and Gong Yonggu through Wang Chengen, the new supervisor of the inner factory, and suddenly thought of reforming some internal systems of the palace."

Before this, the inner factory was under the control of Liu Ruoyu, and the emperor didn't know about the grievances suffered by the princesses, and now that the slaves and maids knew, they naturally had to report to the emperor, so as to avoid the emperor's sister being bullied by the slaves below!"

Wang Chengen accompanied Zhu Youxiao to Princess Le'an's mansion, and said to Zhu Youxiao on the way.Zhu Youxiao said: "Liu Ruoyu, damn it!

He is only devoted to his own interests, and has no loyalty at all!

Your timely report gave me a chance to clean up these evil slaves!

One by one, they really seem to think that if it is dark under the lamp, I can't see it, so I can do whatever I want, and no one can clean them up!

”Not long after, Zhu Youxiao came to the princess's mansion, but he didn't let the people from the princess's mansion go in to report, but went in without telling him.As soon as he entered Princess Le'an's mansion, Zhu Youxiao heard a grandmother's scolding: "Who let you have a private meeting!"

How can there be such a shameless princess as you, dare to have a private meeting behind this mother's back, according to the rules, I have the right to let people teach you a lesson!

Give me a hard beating!

”"Don't fight!

Mama, every time I want to summon the horses, you ask for the royal gift of gold and silver, but it is the royal brother's reward, even if you dare to ask for it, I dare not give it!

That's why you won't let me see the horse, we haven't seen each other for almost two years since we got married, why are you so ruthless, but most of my rice is given to you!

Now, the colt is just stealing to see me, so what, you whip him like this, do you take my decency into account?!

”At this time, the voice of Princess Le'an came.And this grandmother did not compromise because of this, but shouted: "Call me!"

”Syllable!

Syllable!

Syllable!

Soon there was the sound of a board.Zhu Youxiao, who was standing outside the gate of the inner courtyard, listened to it very clearly.
