Chongzhen Chat Group

Although Song Yingxing had such doubts in his heart, at this time he saw the real owner he was going to visit and heard that he had made a hot air balloon. Whether listening or watching, the information fed back from Xu Zhengming seemed like this Hot air balloons were a huge event, so this drew all his thoughts away, and the doubts in his mind were naturally put aside.

Xu Zhengming happily walked to the manor to welcome Emperor Chongzhen, chattering all the way, describing the experience he gained from making a hot air balloon. Next to them, apart from the imperial concubine and the guards, there was only Song Yingxing. He was also attracted by the content of the conversation, listening with his ears pricked up, and jotting down notes in his notebook from time to time.

As for the other people who came out of the village, they ran for an inexplicable way, and then followed at the back of the team, muttering in low voices about the age of Master Xu.

Anyway, the road leading to the manor was very lively unlike before.

Halfway through, Xu Zhengming's wife and children also arrived. They were greeted with polite greetings again and insisted on kneeling and kowtow. When he is stubborn, he has the shadow of when Xu Zhengming insisted on becoming a disciple. The excuses came one after another, such as being the benefactor of their family, being a master like a father, and being a rescuing Bodhisattva in his family. Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to make Concubine Tian cover her mouth and laugh non-stop. In the end, they had no choice but to fulfill their wishes. .

Entering the manor, Xu Zhengming took Emperor Chongzhen directly to his testing ground. At this time, the Jin Yiwei began to be on guard, and all irrelevant people were blocked outside. Of course, Song Yingxing was not blocked, which made him very happy.

What they went to was a large courtyard. In this courtyard, there should have been a rockery pond and the like. It was a large ornamental courtyard. But now they have been transformed. There are even sheds set up in half of the place, and there are various small workshops, which seem to cooperate with each other.

Song Yingxing looked at everything in this big yard with some curiosity. The most important thing seems to be a large piece of cloth placed in the middle, with a big basket tied underneath. There seems to be something special...

Song Yingxing traveled far and wide, and considered himself to be one of the few Ming literati in terms of knowledge. But he was confused, what was on the ground? I just listened to it all the way, and it seemed a bit mysterious, and it was about buoyancy, flying, etc., but I didn’t quite understand it. This made Carpenter Xu so excited that the things he presented to his master as if they were treasures were not actually the carpenter's things. Could it be that he became a tailor halfway through his apprenticeship?

But it doesn’t look like a tailor! Song Yingxing was a little confused. In fact, the content of their conversation was different from what the craftsmen had heard before. Later, Song Yingxing unexpectedly discovered that Carpenter Xu had found some book from somewhere, opened it, and was discussing with the young man. Of course, basically he was asking and the young man was answering. From his perspective as a bystander, the young man seemed to be very knowledgeable. Basically, there was nothing he didn't understand. As long as Xu Carpenter asked, he could answer casually.

Listening to the novel discussion content, Song Yingxing next to him felt vaguely familiar. Suddenly, he finally remembered. So, he quickly called to the book boy who was standing beside him, who was already a little restrained. He took out the set of science and technology knowledge books from his back, quickly found one and flipped through it. Sure enough, it was related to this knowledge of physics.

This time, Song Yingxing became even more curious. At first, he thought that this young man was just like those old-fashioned scholars. Later, although the misunderstanding was somewhat resolved, he still did not expect that this young man was so proficient in science and technology! I have only read it through, and there are still many doubts about it. I still want to make arguments or test it according to what is said in the book. Unexpectedly, this young man was ahead of him. He had already thoroughly understood these books and even taught them to Carpenter Xu!

Thinking like this, the idea arose in his mind that he must have a good conversation with this young man. His intuition told him that this young man would be of great help to the book he was about to write!

With this idea in mind, when Xu Zhengming and the young man were almost finished talking, Song Yingxing stopped caring about being polite and immediately interrupted and asked: "Master Xu, can I borrow this book from Song Yingxing?"

"Hey, who are you?" At this time, Xu Zhengming looked Song Yingxing up and down, as if he only realized now that this person seemed to be an outsider.

His question immediately made Song Yingxing a little stupid. Didn't your master introduce me when we were outside the village just now? I'm sorry that at that time, all you could think about was your master, and you were thinking of offering treasures to your master, but you didn't even care about me, Mr. Song!

Emperor Chongzhen beside him also thought of this, and couldn't help but feel a little speechless for his apprentice. But perhaps it was his persistence in this technology that allowed him to persevere regardless of it!

With this in mind, he smiled and reintroduced the two of them.

Only then did Xu Zhengming come back to his senses. He couldn't help but reach out and scratch the back of his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "I really didn't mean it. All I can think about is asking the master for advice!"

After he finished speaking, he reached out and gave the book in his hand to Song Yingxing and said: "I didn't expect that the Juren Master would also want to read this kind of book. You are the first one, here it is!"

When Song Yingxing saw it, he quickly took it over and looked at it. He immediately discovered that the book in his hand was more profound in content than the book he had received before. It seems...it seems that this is the follow-up and in-depth content of the set of books I got.

At this sight, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Raising his head, he looked at Xu Zhengming and asked quickly: "Where did you come from? How did you get this set of books?"

Seeing Song Yingxing's eyes admiring this set of books and admiring himself, Xu Zhengming said with a little pride: "Of course my master gave this to me."

Upon hearing this, Song Yingxing immediately turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Master Zhu, where did this book come from? Can you tell Song? Or... or borrow Song's three days, no, no, two days. That’s enough, can I copy it myself?”

Seeing his excited look, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile and said: "I wrote it myself, you don't have to copy it, you can do whatever you want!"

"What?" Song Yingxing was stunned when he heard this. After he quickly recovered, his face was filled with suspicion, "Did you write it yourself? No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, who wrote this book?" Written, not copied.”

In his opinion, Emperor Chongzhen was so young, but these knowledge were so profound, how could it be his original creation?

Concubine Tian Guifei beside her couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled again when she heard the judge's question. But they quickly came back to their senses and thought about it carefully, why not? The emperor is so young, but he knows so many things. How many people can believe this? Among the great scholars in the court, who were not as shocked by the emperor's talent as this Juren at first!

Emperor Chongzhen was also a little numb to this kind of questioning. But based on his good impression of Song Yingxing, he still explained: "If you are referring to this world, I should be the first to write it, not copied from others!"

It is impossible for others to understand the meaning of his words. They can only understand that what he said is to prove that he is original and not copied.

When Song Yingxing heard this, he was immediately shocked. He didn't expect that all this profound knowledge came from this young man himself!

Xu Zhengming on the side saw it, and proudly interjected: "What are these? You have never seen how powerful my master is. It is unbelievable that we people can fly, right? But my master can at least say Three methods. Well, this hot air balloon method is just one of the methods my master mentioned. I will show you later the miracle that we humans can fly!"

Song Yingxing listened, but seemed not to hear it. At this time, he suddenly came back to his senses. Because he knows that when it comes to scientific and technological knowledge in the Ming Dynasty, the current emperor is second, and others cannot be first. But this young man is also so proficient in scientific and technological knowledge!

By the way, this young man introduced himself and said his name was Zhu Youjian. Could it be that he had misunderstood? He...he was Zhu Youjian. Could he really be the current emperor?

Thinking of this, Song Yingxing opened his mouth in shock without knowing it. Looking at the young man in front of him, his heart was like a turbulent wave. He was so young, about the same age as the emperor, and had so many followers. Could it be... could he be... Is he really the current emperor?

In a place like Jiangnan, the sudden passer-by is the current emperor. This kind of thing can only appear in novels. In fact, how many years have passed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty? How many emperors would have had the opportunity to go to Jiangnan? How could he go on patrol incognito when he went to the south of the Yangtze River?

Although the current emperor has met him once, among all living beings, the probability of meeting the emperor is really lower than the probability of becoming a Jinshi.

Song Yingxing came back to his senses and was about to seek further confirmation when he suddenly heard someone coming over to report: "Master, Xu Zhengmao, the eunuch guarding Yingtian Mansion, wants to see you."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he said casually: "He has good information. Let him come in!"

Needless to say, there are people from Xu Zhengmao here. Others don't know it, but Xu Zhengmao knows that Xu Zhengming's master is today's emperor. The arrival of this master meant that the emperor had arrived at Yingtian Mansion incognito, so he naturally rushed over immediately.

Xu Zhengming was a little confused at this time. Although he took the master's letter and was accompanied by the master's servant to Yingtian Mansion and was arranged to work here, from the beginning to the end, he just thought that his master and the guarding eunuch of Yingtian Mansion The relationship is very good.

But at this time, he heard that it seemed that the status of the Yingtian Mansion's guarding eunuch was lower than that of the master, and he had to use the word "asking to see him". So who is the master?

Unlike Xu Zhengming, Song Yingxing was a civil servant and knew a lot about official affairs. Being able to make the Yingtian Mansion guarding eunuch wait at the door to ask for an audience, plus what he was thinking just now, Song Yingxing immediately understood the identity of the young man in front of him.

At this time, he was really shocked. It was such a coincidence that he met the emperor who was visiting privately incognito, and... and he even chatted all the way!

Just as they were surprised and shocked, a scarlet-robed eunuch, Xiao Sui, walked in. Before he could reach Emperor Chongzhen, he knelt down and paid homage: "Your servant, Xu Zhengmao, the eunuch guarding Tianfu, bows to my emperor, long live, long live." ,Long live!"

Hearing this, Song Yingxing could no longer stand still and knelt down to salute with the same excitement. He knew in his heart that he was afraid that his chance had come.

Only the carpenter Xu Zhengming stood there a little stupidly and asked in shock: "Master, you...are you the current emperor?"

As if in response to his words, at this time, another guard in golden clothes came in and reported: "Sir, Sun Chuanting, the interim governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, is at the door requesting an audience!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen said to the two kneeling people: "Pingshen!"

Then he turned around and said to the two concubines beside him: "I still have things to deal with. My two beloved concubines should go and rest first!"

Concubine Tian Guifei and Hai Lanzhu naturally had no objection and were immediately led by the landlord's guarding eunuch to rest. Then, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "Send Qing to come and see you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and prepared to go to the lobby next to him. Suddenly he remembered something and said to Song Yingxing, who was standing there a little restrained: "I am planning to set up a new Science and Technology Cleaning Department in addition to the Four Cleaning and Cleaning Departments under the Ministry of Industry. , would you be willing to let you be appointed as the doctor of the Science and Technology Cleaning Department and take charge of the Science and Technology Cleaning Department? "

According to the current Qing officials, the position of doctor is the fifth rank, which is equivalent to the prefect level in the local area. At present, Song Yingxing only has the title of being a judge. Generally speaking, unless there are special circumstances, such as the special circumstances in Liaodong, the most he can do is to be the magistrate of a lower-level county. That's it, we still have to wait and have connections. But now, the emperor has made a decision to promote Song Yingxing to a fifth-grade central official position, which is more important than the prefect. After all, how many prefects are there in the world? However, there is only one doctor in a certain official department affiliated to the Ministry of Industry. This shows that Emperor Chongzhen attached great importance to Song Yingxing.

If it were an ordinary person, upon hearing this reward, he would not be overjoyed and would quickly thank him.

However, after Song Yingxing was overjoyed, he hesitated for a while, which stunned Emperor Chongzhen who was about to turn around and walk to the lobby. What do you mean? Not satisfied yet?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Song Yingxing saying: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, what is the Science and Technology Cleaning Department doing?"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen realized that he was worried about whether he was qualified! Haha, I was right, Song Yingxing was not a utilitarian person.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and replied: "In my opinion, this Science and Technology Bureau is to oversee the scientific and technological theoretical research of the Ming Dynasty. Craftsmen from all walks of life mostly just apply it, but don't know the reason. Or maybe they just I know what I have learned and will not study it further. In short, in this science and technology department, I hope to have a summary of science and technology and conduct extended research to form a set of basic to advanced knowledge that can be transformed into practical applications. system. Are you willing to take on a major responsibility for the strength of the Ming Dynasty?"

Thanks to Tianwaitian 007 for the 10,000 reward. I have to go to work tomorrow and cannot update today. I will write down the next update and add it to the eleventh hour, thank you!
