Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 584 Spark Project
After the emperor returned to the Taiping Palace, he called the confidential secretary and asked him to draft an edict and submit it to the Council of Governors. The general idea was that he hoped that the Council of Governors would continue to increase investment in scientific research and development in multiple core fields.

The political system of the Ming Empire has developed to the extent that it has its own characteristics. It is neither a so-called constitutional monarchy nor a complete enlightened monarchy.Under normal circumstances, Bai Mingxiu did not interfere with the administration of the cabinet of the Legislative Yuan. Even the new prime minister was elected by Bai Mingxiu together with the former cabinet members.In terms of practice, Bai Mingxiu never directly overturned the policies of the Legislative Yuan, at most he supervised and ordered them to revise.But at the level of the Ming Dynasty Constitution, as the emperor, he still has the right to issue major policies and personnel changes, but he will use it very cautiously.

Undoubtedly, Ming Dynasty was an autocratic country, but it was by no means a pure autocratic monarchy, and there was a relatively obvious element of collective leadership.

Bai Mingxiu's daily participation in political affairs is basically holding meetings to express opinions and conduct supervision.Occasionally, like today, I will solemnly issue an imperial edict.His highest order is the edict, but Bai Mingxiu generally does not issue edicts.

The main reason why Bai Mingxiu did this was that he didn't want Da Ming to be a machine that couldn't function without him, but that no matter what kind of monarch or even no monarch was sitting on the dragon chair, he could move in the right direction at high speed.However, folks have different interpretations. Many traditional Confucian scholars believed that Bai Mingxiu had achieved the "government with the bow" that Confucianism has admired for thousands of years when he farted rainbows at the holy majesty.

"Shangshu" said: "Tun believes in righteousness, respects morality and repays merits, and governs the world with a bow; "Admonition Taizong Shi Sishu" says: The wise do their best, the brave do their best, the benevolent spread their benefits, the believers serve their loyalty, and use both civil and military , hang down and rule.

Throughout the ages, many emperors have great ambitions and great talents, but the more such emperors are more likely to be self-willed, they will end up either resorting to military force or not sparing the power of the people. Anyway, the dynasty is getting worse and worse, from prosperity to decline.For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, such as Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.Confucian scholars believe that after a good emperor has created a prosperous age, he should hand over government affairs to virtuous officials without doing anything himself.But ordinary emperors can't do it. Now that Bai Mingxiu has accomplished a great achievement that has never been seen in the ages, he doesn't point fingers at everything. He just upholds integrity and morality and educates the people. The wisest emperor.

Naturally, at this time, these old-school Confucian scholars did not remember the past events when the Emperor Guangfu suppressed feudal dross.

The emperor issued an edict, and the ministers attached great importance to it. They immediately called people from all walks of life and held relevant meetings. Representatives of scientific research in almost every field were invited to the capital to give reports.

Prime Minister Zhang Huangyan also met with the emperor and reported the cabinet's ideas to him.

"Your Majesty, the proposals you gave are considered very important by the courtiers. Therefore, the Legislative Council hopes to promote a new project plan, which we tentatively named 'Spark Project'. This plan is to select a certain number of my Ming The most important, core, and critical scientific research field, brainstorming, advancing with projects, gathering scientific research forces from all over the country, overcoming these difficult projects, and greatly improving our Ming’s scientific research strength and technical reserves.”

When Bai Mingxiu heard this, he became energized. The Spark Project that Zhang Huangyan was talking about was very similar to the Ming Dynasty's version of the "863 Project."Although the high-end level of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as that of the Republic of the 80s, on the overall level, the thickness of the Ming Dynasty is stronger than that of the Republic at that time, and the economic strength of the society is actually stronger.

Zhang Huangyan added: "It's just that, at this stage, our main energy is focused on the possible outbreak of the European war, allocating funds to the Spark Project, and investing national resources. At this delicate point of time, it seems a little out of date."

Bai Mingxiu smiled and said: "You can't just ignore the country's future construction and development because of the war with Xiqing. The Spark Project can be said to be the key to my Ming's standing and staying strong in the next few decades, and we It’s easy to plan and launch in advance, so that the preparatory work of each project team and research institute can be allocated slowly, which is easy to say.”

In the end, Bai Ming fixed a tone: "In short, our Ming Dynasty is such a huge country, and the local and each propaganda and comfort department may have their own affairs. We also need to consider the people's livelihood, society, and the future of the country. Although war is very important, we cannot ignore domestic affairs. This war will not change anything. There is no external enemy in Ming Dynasty. The only thing that Ming needs to do is to organize its own internal affairs and achieve the goal of doing good to every citizen. promise."

Zhang Huangyan bowed to Bai Mingxiu and said: "I have been educated."

Bai Mingxiu laughed, waved his hands and said, "You all know what you have learned. By the way, what projects are included in the Spark Project now?"

Zhang Huangyan took out a list from the folder he carried with him and read: "In terms of biological sciences, there are high-quality crops and livestock breeding, genetic engineering projects, modern medical projects, and aviation fields include jet fighters, jet fighters, etc. Large-scale passenger and cargo aircraft, new helicopters, and general-purpose helicopter technologies; communication satellites and launch vehicle technologies in aerospace; miniaturized integrated circuit semiconductor technologies, new computer technologies, and new infinite communication technologies in the electronics industry; shipbuilding Including large container ships above [-] tons, new port equipment, large-tonnage aircraft carrier technology, and large-tonnage submarine technology; heavy equipment includes forging equipment such as large die forging presses..."

Zhang Huangyan kept talking, and Bai Mingxiu felt that his mouth was about to drool. He asked, "Are all of these things we can achieve?"

Zhang Huangyan said with a smile: "Since the scientific researchers can propose it, it is obviously something that can be done. It will take a certain amount of time and some investment, but I believe that we should be able to complete these things within 10-15 years. Mostly."

Bai Mingxiu was immersed in his own shock. He felt that he had indeed given Da Ming a shocking trick, but the speed at which Da Ming was growing was really terrifying.He directly brought Ming Dynasty from the feudal period to the industrial society of the steam age. Now it is the electric age, and the huge educated group and talents that Ming Dynasty has cultivated are enough to support Ming Dynasty's continued development.It may take more than ten or twenty years for the Ming Dynasty to achieve the technological level of the mid-Cold War or even the end of the Cold War. This is equivalent to completing the 20-year development path of others in half a century.

　Only then did I realize that this book is actually limited and exempted, so I tried my best to add another chapter.As a white face, I work full-time and part-time to write books, and I almost never stop changing. I never stop when I am sick, on holidays, or on holidays.Living alone with a white face, you have to eat when you wake up, go to work, and get off work at night, cook and eat by yourself, write books, and sometimes write songs and make music, so every addition should be cherished, hahahaha.
