Chongzhen Chat Group

Before he had any ideas, the system sounded achievement value prompts one after another, mostly contributed by craftsmen and businessmen. Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but glance around the lobby, and he felt something in his heart. It seemed to be the impact of the reform of the military system of the guard station!

For future generations, the state stipulates that those who do a craft must do that craft for generations. This is obviously unreasonable and a bit nonsense!

Perhaps in ancient times, there was a reason for such a regulation.

In the past, he was busy with the matter of recovering Liaodong, busy with making money, busy with sorting out the government affairs, and didn't have much time to think about this. Now that he had an opportunity and thought about the purpose of going south incognito, Emperor Chongzhen finally began to think seriously about this issue. stand up.

While he was thinking about this, the bickering in the lobby continued.

"Dream!" The student came to such a conclusion, and said after eating a chopstick of food in a leisurely manner, "The new army compiled by the emperor recovered Liaodong, wiped out the Jianlu, and took North Korea into its territory. , which shows that this new army model is indeed effective. It makes sense that the emperor wants to reform the military system of the guard station. But, craftsmen, you shift craftsmen, haha..."

Emperor Chongzhen immediately heard a system prompt again. He couldn't help but glance at the student and thought to himself, it turned out that this guy's name was Zhu Jinhua.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, then retorted: "What's wrong with the craftsmen? At least in these years, the emperor has attached great importance to us craftsmen. Not only did he have the title of master, but he also helped us craftsmen improve their craftsmanship. If nothing else, I have heard from many colleagues that this kind of scientific and technical knowledge is of great help to our craftsmen!"

"Hmph, how can these strange and obscene techniques be used for a long time?" Zhu Jinhua showed disdain and shouted coldly, "The teachings of Confucius and Mencius have endured for thousands of years and are the orthodox ones! To tell you the truth, the imperial court's use of these strange and obscene techniques is really effective. It goes against the teachings of Confucius and Mencius! I, the people in the restoration society, have been uniting to build momentum and are preparing to send out a message to the world, asking the loyal people in the court to advise the emperor, strengthen the righteousness, eliminate evil, and return to me a bright and bright world! "

After hearing these words, many imperial guards turned their heads to look at Emperor Chongzhen. They didn't know that if this person said this in front of the emperor, would he arouse the emperor's anger?

Liu Xingzuo, the commander of Jinyiwei, had a silent sneer on his face. This fellow was really unwilling to give up on the restoration of the society. He actually wanted to use the same old methods to cause trouble!

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking with his head down again. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look up. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhang Pu, the leader of Fushe, was dismissed from his official position, but he still couldn't control these people?

While he was thinking about it, the businessman who just spoke spoke again: "The great talent Zhang Pu who you restored to society was dismissed by the imperial court. Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" When Zhu Jinhua heard this, he straightened his chest and said a little righteously, "Mencius said, life is what I want; righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both. You can't have both. He is a person born with righteousness. Although I suffered a temporary setback when I returned to society, there are still four gentlemen who continue to lead us and move forward!"

Or he was excited. He glanced at everyone in the lobby, especially Zhao Cheng, raised his voice and said with a bit of showoff: "I'm not afraid that you will know that Shandong Daidai Yanshenggong also supports this matter!"

Upon hearing this, the diners who had previously been unimpressed all gasped. They didn't expect that as they were talking, this student would actually move out of Yan Shenggong.

Even Emperor Chongzhen didn't think of it for a moment. The argument between the carpenter and the scholar was going on until Duke Yan came.

But then he thought for a moment and suddenly understood. Haha, the world is so big, it’s really nothing more than interests!

Just imagine, if scientific and cultural knowledge really rises, not to mention replacing Confucianism, but competing with it, I am afraid it will have a big impact on the Confucian family in Shandong!

Dynasties have changed one after another, but the Kong family has never fallen. Why? Isn’t it because scholars all over the world regard the teachings of Confucius and Mencius as orthodox! If this orthodox position, this absolute dominance is challenged, then there will be a question mark whether the Kong family can continue to maintain his title!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen was really a little emotional. It seemed that he had thought a bit too simply before. I originally thought that if Xu Guangqi, who advocated science, culture and technology, was appointed as the Minister of Personnel and Sun Yuanhua as the Minister of Rites, and they were promoting scientific and cultural knowledge, there would be no problem!

Fortunately, this private visit incognito, fortunately this time I sat down in this lobby, made me realize that promoting scientific and cultural knowledge will not always be smooth sailing.

Thinking about it, in the north, because they are in charge, and there are all kinds of novel things, and the scholars are more political, the opposition there is so low that they can be ignored.

But in the south, it has always been the place with the most scholars. It can be said that the literary style is at its peak, unmatched by other places! It is precisely because of this soil that the Donglin Party members and the Fushe Party were born. In other words, the imperial court's promotion of scientific and cultural knowledge had the greatest impact on the scholars in Jiangnan.

Just imagine, they have been studying the books of sages all their lives, just to one day pass the scientific examination and stand out. However, when they see that the imperial court is so vigorously promoting scientific and technological knowledge, although the content of the scientific examination remains unchanged now, after becoming an official, there will be an assessment of scientific and technological knowledge. One day in the future, there is no guarantee that the content of the scientific examination will also include this scientific and technological knowledge. a place. If that day comes, the advantages they have accumulated before will no longer exist, and they will have to learn scientific and technical knowledge all over again. How will this make them feel?

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it when the waiter came to serve the food. The stream flowed continuously, carrying the fragrant river fresh food, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and for a moment, it made them forget the argument just now.

With such a buffer of time, the impact brought by Yan Shenggong was not so strong. The carpenter Zhao Cheng suddenly said: "What's wrong with Duke Yan? Can it be greater than the current emperor? The emperor has said that this scientific and cultural knowledge is good, how dare Duke Yan deny it?"

Well, it seems that this carpenter is not stupid. If you move out Yan Shenggong, I will move out the current emperor. You can weigh it yourself and see which one is more powerful!

Zhu Jinhua was indeed stunned when he heard this. He immediately slapped the table and pointed at Zhao Cheng and shouted: "The emperor has been deceived by others. He is just using some strange and obscene tricks. How can he reach the level of elegance!"

"What kind of weird and obscene techniques? Don't talk nonsense!" After hearing this, Zhao Cheng immediately retorted, "Does the steamship know about it? Does the steamer know about it? These are things that benefit the country and the people, how can they be weird and obscene techniques?"

There were more and more people eating in the lobby, but when they saw someone bickering, they all just stood aside and watched. Occasionally, he would intervene like the businessman just now, but more often he would just listen.

In front of so many people, how could Zhu Jinhua show weakness? He immediately retorted: "This kind of thing is just spreading rumors. Have you ever seen it? If you boil some water on a boat, you can make the boat run? Is this really true? , whoever wants to row a boat in the future, just bring a kettle with you!"

"Haha..." Some people in the lobby couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

By changing the concept, it seems that this is simply impossible!

Emperor Chongzhen frowned when he heard this. He glanced over and found that most of the smiling people were dressed as scholars, but there were not many of them.

"When the emperor was inspecting the steamship, I was lucky enough to witness it." The businessman who had just spoken heard it and interrupted again, "The ship is made of coal, which can indeed make the ship run on the water!"

At present, steamships are mainly seen in the north. In the south, some people have also bought and shipped it back from the north. However, compared to the north, there are still very few. Therefore, not many people have seen it.

As for steamships, the only one in the north is the Zhangjiawan Shipyard in Tongzhou, which is undergoing improvements and experiments. In the south, it is even less likely to see them.

When Zhu Jinhua heard the businessman's words, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at him with a look of disbelief. He snorted and said, "It's okay if you have something to do. Read more books about saints and sages, so as not to become a foolish man who talks about things like gods. How dare you believe it and spread rumors?"

Everyone didn't believe it when they heard it. They couldn't imagine that by burning coal on the ship, the ship would be able to move?

At this moment, I heard Zhu Jinhua add another sentence, saying with a very disdainful look: "You and other businessmen just can't believe it! Whatever comes to your mouth, it becomes Jinpiao's treasure. Yes! You dare to say that the ship can move by burning coal, why don’t you say it can fly in the sky?”

The businessman was very aggrieved to hear this. He indeed saw steam engines and ships running on the Tongzhou River with his own eyes. However, after he came back, he also mentioned it to his friends, but basically no one believed it. At this time, he said something casually, but he was publicly humiliated by this student. However, he couldn't explain why and couldn't prove what he saw!

Seeing the eyes of those around him looking at him with disbelief, and even the craftsman not opening his mouth to help, the businessman knew that he was probably going to be humiliated this time.

Alas, I really talk too much!

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard someone speaking angrily: "What's wrong with flying in the sky? Is it incredible?"

When everyone heard the sound, they found that it was a young man, accompanied by two women. Everyone who was there earlier knew that the people at the two tables next to him were the young master's subordinates. They were a little worried about his power and did not dare to answer the question.

But this Zhu Jinhua was an exception. He drank too much and happened to overpower the craftsman. When he was feeling proud, he suddenly heard these words. Naturally, he was unwilling to accept them and immediately replied: "Those flying in the sky are gods." , no matter how rich you are, you are still a mortal, can you fly in the sky? Haha, incredible? Isn’t it incredible? "

Seeing him going to quarrel with the noble young man, the old scholar at the table with him, who had been silent, quickly pulled his sleeve to signal him not to do so. In order to increase his persuasiveness, he even pursed his lips and motioned to Zhu Jinhua to take a look.

Zhu Jinhua followed the instructions and looked, and found that the young man's deskmate, a man who looked awkward, was glaring at him, as if he wanted to eat him.

When he saw this, not only was he not afraid, but he stood up and pointed at Fang Zhenghua. When he was about to speak, he took a drink and said loudly: "What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong? I am Da Ming. You are being reasonable, do you still dare to hit someone under the clear sky and the clear sky? I am a student!"

Hearing this, Fang Zhenghua couldn't help but laugh angrily. A student could be so arrogant in front of the emperor. He even drank like crazy and quarreled with the emperor. Even if he came forward and beat him to death, his death would be in vain!

But before he could make a move, Emperor Chongzhen had already spoken, and Fang Zhenghua made no further comment: "I guess you haven't read the science and technology knowledge promoted by the imperial court, the principles of steamships, in the physics textbook. In fact, it has been clearly written. If you don’t understand, you can do the experiment yourself and try it out to see if it is possible to make the ship run by burning coal!"

At this point, after he paused, there was an inexplicable look on his face and he said: "As for whether people can fly in the sky, I can tell you clearly, yes! I can even tell you? The moon in the sky knows, right? , we can still climb up!”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that this well-connected young man looked so normal, but how could he act so abnormally when he opened his mouth to speak? He was actually talking nonsense seriously!

Even Hai Lanzhu, who was picking up the dishes, looked at Emperor Chongzhen with an expression of disbelief, because Emperor Chongzhen's last words shocked her. Concubine Tian, ​​on the other hand, had already heard Emperor Chongzhen say this once before. For this reason, she once asked Emperor Chongzhen if Chang'e was pretty? Isn’t the Moon Rabbit cute?

"Haha, it's true! Have you been there? What does Chang'e look like?" Zhu Jinhua couldn't help but slap the table and asked with a smile. He felt that his IQ had surpassed that of a rich and powerful young man, and he felt very superior.

Emperor Chongzhen was not annoyed by this, and just said calmly: "Although I have never been up there, I know that there is no Chang'e, Moon Rabbit, and Wu Gang on the moon. There is just a barren place unfit for human habitation. It’s just a place. Don’t ask me how I know it? I can tell you that there are two ways to prove it.”

Having said this, Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, then stretched out a finger and said: "First, build a spaceship to fly to the sky! Directly to the moon!"

Immediately afterwards, regardless of the stunned expressions of the diners in the lobby, he extended a finger and said: "Second, if you get a telescope with enough power, you can see clearly what is on the moon!"

After finishing speaking, he put down his hands and said with a little regret: "Don't think it's incredible. In fact, the principles of these things are all explained in scientific and technical knowledge!"

Finally, he solemnly said: "It is actually wrong to be blind to the affairs of the world and only read the books of sages!"
