Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 1214 The wheels of history are rolling, blocking elimination
Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it when he heard Empress Zhou call for change. He came back to his senses and didn't take it seriously. He said with a smile: "What did the empress say? I was in a daze just now and didn't hear it. Oh, yes, let's go in and talk!" "

At this time, he was in a very good mood, stepped forward and held Queen Zhou's hand before entering the palace.

At the same time, at Fengtianmen Square, as the officials retreated, the crowd who had been waiting for half a day had already blown up.

"What, Lord Yansheng proposed to the emperor to include science and technology knowledge in the imperial examination?"

"How could Yan Shenggong do this? Is he crazy? Is he still Yan Shenggong?"

"Yan Shenggong must have been coerced. He must have said that under no choice? But what is this? The sage has a saying that mighty can't be subdued. Could it be that even Yan Shenggong can't do it?"

"..."

Suanru's shock and disappointment was beyond words.Many of them even sat on the ground and cried loudly.Yan Shenggong, who was looking forward to making decisions for them, stabbed them in the heart so hard that they couldn't accept it.It was also fortunate that Yan Shenggong stayed in the cabinet to talk about the matter and did not leave the palace immediately, otherwise these people would not know what would happen when they were excited.

As for the scholars and craftsmen who support scientific and technological knowledge, they were all overjoyed when they heard the news. They even took the initiative to explain to those sour scholars.

"Yan Shenggong is indeed Yan Shenggong. His vision is different from that of ordinary people. He knows the power of scientific and technological knowledge and has done such a commendable thing! Admiration, admiration!"

"How could Duke Yansheng be coerced! Apart from being rudely interrupted, is this considered a threat? It is possible! Duke Yansheng dared to threaten Yansheng by blatantly disregarding the royal etiquette before he finished speaking." Lord. It’s just that the emperor was wise enough to beat their court sticks. Tsk tsk, row after row of white buttocks, I have seen it today. More than 200 people threatened faintly, but Yan Shenggong persisted, admire, admire!”

"..."

Of course, there are also some people who have more sympathy. Seeing those sour scholars crying like dead parents, they also comforted them and said: "Don't worry about this matter, even if you pretend you can't see it." The knowledge of science and technology is great, but even Yan Shenggong admits that the knowledge of science and technology is great, so go back and read the science and technology series, it's not difficult anyway!"

"That's right, the emperor, Shengming, has also thought about you. This year, only those who are in the children's school will take the county and government exams to take the science and technology knowledge test. You are still early, and there is still time! Instead of being sad here, It’s better to go home and study hard in the cold window!”

"Confucianism and Taoism have not been abandoned. Why are you so excited? Didn't the emperor say that the study of Confucius and Mencius lies in thought; the knowledge of science and technology lies in skills. The two do not conflict, but complement each other. You can think so, at least On the way of Confucius and Mencius, you have also put in more effort than others, and now you only need to learn more about science and technology."

"..."

Regardless of whether these people in Fengtianmen Square are happy or sad, or how people in other places react to the news, under the efforts of Emperor Chongzhen, scientific and technological knowledge has been promoted with an unstoppable momentum. The content of the imperial examination is already a certainty.

The so-called historical trend is rolling forward, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can deduce the meaning of it.The wave of innovation in the Ming Dynasty will definitely kill some people on the shore, and send some people to heaven.

Pigs that stand on the wind will all fly up, it depends on whether they can stand on the wind.

But now, with the existence of the chat group system, the decisions made by the capital and what happened, after the factory guards verified the news, spread throughout Daming at the fastest speed through the chat group.

As the news spread, another news was announced to the world at the same time.According to the emperor's decree, children's schools must be established in all parts of Daming this year, at the township level, and those without townships at the county level.Students of Ming Dynasty who meet the age can study for free for one year.If the academic performance is excellent and the family is poor, the imperial court will also provide subsidies.In other words, going to school can also make money, so as to encourage those poor families to release their labor at home to study.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, the students mentioned here still refer to boys.Although Emperor Chongzhen did not have the idea of ​​patriarchy over girls, the policy still needs to be implemented step by step. Girls go to school, and it will definitely be realized throughout the country in the future.

The decree also stated that the court's current capabilities are limited, and it can only do so much.In the future, when Daming becomes more prosperous and powerful, more taxes will be received, more money will be in the treasury, and the number of years of free education will be increased.The emperor's goal is to make all the people of Ming Dynasty, no matter they are poor or rich, have education, everyone can read and write, and Ming Dynasty will never be blind again!

These two news can be said to be quite sensational.

Especially with the spread of the second news, those who eat melons have all joined the ranks of supporting the new government policy.Let’s not talk about those who couldn’t afford books before, even if they could afford books before, they would be happy if they could save a little money for studying.Or only those scholars with more wealth may complain because literacy is no longer their privilege in the future, but they only dare to say a few words behind closed doors.Anyone who dares to go outside to complain about this new policy, believe it or not, will be beaten to death by dark sticks!
If it is said that Emperor Chongzhen did not do anything before, but just announced it like this, I am afraid that it has not had this effect.

However, the great talent and strategy of Emperor Chongzhen have been proved by many things, and his prestige is getting higher every year.More importantly, Emperor Chongzhen had actually been doing this before that.In some wealthy places, children's schools have been established long ago, and they are placed there alive, which is obvious to all.Therefore, as soon as the new ambition of Emperor Chongzhen came out, no one doubted it and firmly supported it.

Because all fools know that everything is inferior, only reading is high!But now that science and technology knowledge is added to reading, the meaning of reading has been expanded, and reading is even more necessary.

By the way, Emperor Chongzhen also ordered the storytellers at the post stations to start publicizing the necessity of paying taxes in addition to storytelling.Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is to let the people of Ming Dynasty know the fact that only when the court collects more taxes can the court do more things, such as building more children's schools, increasing the number of years of free schooling, etc. .

The heat of these two topics has not yet passed, and a new breaking news came out again.It is said that the imperial court will re-register the household registration and count the population of Ming Dynasty.Only the people of Ming Dynasty who are registered in the register are the people of Ming Dynasty and can enjoy the benefits brought by the various new policies of Ming Dynasty.

No matter what you do in the future, you may have to check your identity at any time.If it is not registered, after the registration deadline, once it is found out, there is no reasonable explanation, all of them will be distributed to the newly established provinces of Ming Dynasty, such as the Tianshan side, or the Mobei side, Liaodong is impossible, and North Korea may be possible. .Anyone who dares to cover up and conceal, regardless of their status, will be punished.

In fact, the matter of population registration and bookkeeping is something that all dynasties will do.However, no matter in which dynasty or generation, there are still hidden households.The stronger the government's control, the fewer hidden households; the weaker the government's control, the more hidden households.

Eight years have passed since the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the government's influence and control have undergone earth-shaking changes.Originally, the control power was already strong enough, but now, there are continuous policies beneficial to the people of Ming Dynasty, as well as tax propaganda and so on. Hidden away.Of course, there are still hidden households, that's for sure.

At the same time, Hoi An, a seaport city directly under the Ming Dynasty, far away from Fuguo, had just lifted martial law.A new fleet is heading to Luzon, and the others are doing what they are supposed to do.

In the Cannon Workshop, many people were still excitedly discussing what happened in the morning.

"See, the rifled guns we built are amazing. Marshal Zheng has personally come to our gun casting workshop to thank him!"

"No, Marshal Zheng is a knowledgeable person. The new navy sailboats in the shipyard over there are only at the same level as Xiyi, but our rifled guns are much more powerful than Xiyi. Naturally, come to our Cannon Workshop first. Thanks for the inspection!"

"..."

Hoi An's cannon workshop and shipyard were all developed from the hands of the Frangji people.These two units had the momentum to compete with each other from the very beginning.

In the beginning, because of the Daming warships, to be honest, the technology was indeed inferior to Xiyi's ships.Therefore, after seizing the shipyard and obtaining shipbuilding information, the higher-ups paid more attention to the shipyard, and the Cannon Workshop was once reduced to a supporting role.

However, no one thought that after sending two cannon-casting masters from China, they would take the lead in making rifled cannons.

Zheng Zhilong was a well-known existence to the people on the southeast coast of Daming and Nanyang.This time, it was a great honor to come to Hoi An suddenly to receive new warships and new artillery. It was just a live ammunition exercise, and Zheng Zhilong praised the rifled guns again and again.

Because of this, most of the people at the Cannon Workshop were very excited and were talking about this matter with great interest.However, there are exceptions.For example, in one of the rooms, a young man in his 20s was holding a book, reading it for a while, and then immersed himself in writing and drawing on paper with a charcoal pencil, and did not participate in the discussion.

Someone looked up and saw it, and greeted with a smile: "Yaming, the master is not here, why are you still working so hard? It's rare to have such a happy thing, let's come and talk together!"

Yaming, whose surname is Pan, was born as a scholar. He is a rare talent who likes science and technology knowledge.

Pan Yaming's goal is also to become a master.According to his own statement, his family was poor, and after studying as a scholar, he really had no money.If you can become a master, you don't have to worry about money.And most importantly, he felt that scientific and technological knowledge was much more interesting than the Four Books and Five Classics.

At this time, when I heard the greeting from my companion, I just raised my head and smiled, then lowered my head to go to work again, and said at the same time: "You guys chat!"

His behavior made his companion even more curious, so he asked again: "What are you busy with?"

Hearing this, Yaming raised his head again and said seriously: "Isn't Marshal Zheng very sorry that the rifling of the rifled gun is too worn? I have always thought this is a problem. I want to see how this can be improved. ?”

Hearing this, the other companions stopped chatting and turned to look at him one by one, very surprised.One of the fat men said, "How could this thing be solved, or else, the two masters would have solved it long ago."

"That's right, if it can be improved, the Bingzhan Bureau of the Beijing Normal University can definitely improve it. Our Cannon Workshop is in charge of casting cannons for the Nanyang Navy. And this big war is about to start, and the imperial court will definitely send factory guards to tell us how to improve it. .” Others echoed.

The situation in Nanyang, following the Ming threat theory announced by the Liuxiang Sea Island Group, no matter whether it is the chieftain of the Nanyang natives or the Western Yi, all are hostile to Ming, and an alliance is faintly forming.On the court side, it seems that there is no sign of weakness.Anyone who cares a little bit about current affairs can see that a big battle is inevitable for Da Ming in Nanyang.

This point can be proved by the fact that the imperial court sent the masters of the Jingshi Bingzhan Bureau to Hoi An to directly build ships and cast guns in Hoi An.What's more, just now Marshal Zheng led a new naval warship to Luzon.And the gossip said that there are warships from both Fujian and Guangdong to gather in Luzon.

Of course, these people in Cannon Workshop are not worried about themselves.Here in Hoi An, heavy imperial troops are stationed, surrounded by Fuguo, so they are not afraid of the attacks of those native pirates from Xiyi.

Hearing his companion's distrust, Pan Yaming didn't care. He just smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about it."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head.

When a companion who was familiar with him saw him, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart, so he ran over to check the situation.

On Pan Yaming's table, there were books brought by the master from the capital.It is about artillery knowledge about the rate of fire of shells, range, etc.It is said that the internal information was compiled by the emperor himself, and outsiders cannot see it, but many people on the side of the Bingzhan Bureau cannot understand it.Especially those parabolic formulas and so on, which are even more confusing.

According to their internal observation, even the two masters from the capital didn't understand what the emperor wrote.

However, looking at Pan Yaming's appearance, they seemed to have thoroughly understood the knowledge written by the emperor.Not only that, but in front of him, there were also a lot of drafts spread out, with charcoal writing and drawing on them, which at first glance looked like big crimes.However, if you look closely, it is different from the existing cannons!
　I can't hold on to [-] words a day. It's only Monday, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow being Saturday.
