My Daming New Empire

Zhu Di agreed to the transfer of Liu Jiang, but it will take at least a month for Liu Jiang to arrive at the capital after the imperial decree is issued, so Zhu Zhanji is still leaving those naval generals alone.

He didn't intend to neglect those officers and soldiers. In fact, he, the highest-ranking naval officer, had to establish a buffer link with the admirals under the tree.

It's not war, he can't go shirtless.Otherwise, if there is a little problem, it will damage the prestige of his grandson, the commander of the navy, and the commander of the navy.

Therefore, taking advantage of the time when Liu Jiang had not yet arrived in the capital, he planned to build the framework for the establishment of the Academy of Sciences and the establishment of the industrial zone.

The framework for establishing the Daming Academy of Sciences is craftsmen drawn from the Ministry of Industry, so this is just a framework, and it is impossible to expect them to develop independently. In the early stage of development, Zhu Zhanji must point out the direction of development for them.

Ancient Chinese inventions are basically only practical, not logical.

An invention is often invented for a certain purpose, but after it is invented, it lacks the extensibility of its function.

Just like waterwheels, ancient China already had all kinds of waterwheels before the country of the Netherlands. water function.

The confinement of Confucianism on people's thinking can only be compared with religion in history, especially now that Zhu Yuanzhang has limited scientific examinations to the scope of stereotyped essays. This kind of exam-oriented education is a serious castration of thinking.

If Zhu Zhanji doesn't guide him, he can imagine that this organization will become a retreat organization dedicated to serving leaders in the near future. There will be countless such units in later generations.

If you want to produce research results, you must set a clear research direction for them at the beginning.According to the ancient wisdom of the Chinese people, as long as you really want to do something, there is almost nothing you can't do.

From the beginning of the use of administrative orders to force research and development, the orders of Zhu Zhanji, the great-grandson, can also be listened to as imperial decrees.

The research and development of textile machines, waterwheels, and transmission systems are all technologies that can be developed in this era.

Then there is the application of technology. When merchants or the court have tasted the sweetness, there is no need for Zhu Zhanji's little guidance at this time.

Finally, there are various reward and punishment mechanisms. This kind of reward and punishment mechanism is not only about material, but also about honor.

This is still an era of honesty and honesty. Honorary rewards and social recognition are more touching than material rewards.

Only by gradually improving the mechanism can an institution play a more active role, and it can also make people have a higher enthusiasm for research and development and promote social progress.

The location of Xiamaqiao Farm is too small. In Zhu Zhanji's conception, this will be the future research center of Ming Dynasty, and the industrial zone can only be located on the riverside not far from the Yangtze River. An important engine for the development of industrial areas.

In the early morning of the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Zhu Zhanji drove down Maqiao with his guards, and the Ma family from Suzhou was already waiting at the farm.

Now they can be regarded as the whole family to vote. Although they are not Zhu Zhanji's retainers, the honor and disgrace of the whole family are tied to Zhu Zhanji.

So when they met this time, they all paid respects one after another, knelt down on the ground in an orderly manner, and kowtowed three times.

Ma Di was already acquainted with Zhu Zhanji, and he didn't have so many etiquettes on weekdays. Seeing that his parents were all paying respects, he quickly knelt down.

In addition to Ma Di, Zhu Zhanji also noticed a delicate girl who was secretly looking at him curiously.

Zhu Zhanji grinned at her, and she immediately lowered her head shyly, her ears blushing.

The women in the water village have a special charm. Although they are still young, they are indeed rare beauties.

Zhu Zhanji's heart moved, and he looked at Ma Di and Ma Zhicai again, and decided to take this little beauty into the harem.

Ma Zhicai has three brothers, he is an official, and the second brother inherits the family jade shop, so he didn't come here this time.

And the third brother Ma Zhide inherited some living money, built a glazed kiln by himself, and now he has started a business with the Ministry of Industry, so it can be said that he is doing well.

However, like Ma Zhicai, he has been smoothed by life.In them, including the other descendants of the Ma family, Zhu Zhanji did not find the aura in Ma Di.

A scientific and technological worker certainly needs rich accumulation, but pioneering spirit is more important.

Otherwise, you will always be an engineer, not a scientist.

After they kowtowed three heads, Zhu Zhanji stepped forward to help Ma Zhide and said with a smile: "Master Ma Yao, you don't need to be too polite. Your brother is now an official under my command, and Ma Di is now doing things with me. From now on, we will be friends with each other." Be casual. As long as you do things with your heart, I will guarantee the prosperity and wealth of your Ma family in the future, and enjoy it endlessly."

Although Ma Zhide is a few years younger than Ma Zhicai, he obviously suffered a lot when he was young. He looks older than Ma Zhicai, but his body is strong.

He didn't dare to ask Zhu Zhanji to help him himself, so he got up quickly.He didn't dare to look at Zhu Zhanji, but only dared to look at the hem of his clothes and said, "Xiaomin's family is originally a grassroots family. It is really lucky for three lives to be favored by His Highness. From now on, the whole family will work together and serve His Highness."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and asked: "Has the official office delivered the decriminalization document?"

At this time Ma Zhicai said: "His Royal Highness is worried, I returned to Suzhou a few years ago, and I have already dealt with this matter."

"Since the crime has been eliminated. After the fifteenth day, the concubine selection mission will be sent to various places in Ming Dynasty. Suzhou is a place of outstanding people, so naturally there will be missions here. I think Ling'ai has reached the age of marriage now. Get married?"

Ma Zhide was a little dumbfounded, and looked at his elder brother.Ma Zhicai immediately said: "My niece Xinru is only thirteen years old, and because of her criminal background a few years ago, she has not yet married."

Zhu Zhanji said shamelessly: "Ma Xin...a good name. Gu fell in love at first sight today, but I don't want her to marry someone else again."

Ma Zhicai tugged on Ma Zhide's skirt, and then he came to his senses, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the young girl's posture of Puliu can be seen as the glory of my Ma family. Xiaomin will immediately arrange for the eldest son to send her back to Suzhou." Run for election."

Ma Di was still a little confused about the situation. He looked at Zhu Zhanji, then at his father, and finally fixed his eyes on his sister.

He couldn't figure it out. In such a short period of time, Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, was going to become his brother-in-law.

Except for him, the rest of the Ma family were overjoyed.To be able to marry her daughter to the grandson, as long as Ma Xin can be named Liang Di, and Zhu Zhanji ascends the throne in the future, a concubine will be indispensable.

And if Ma Xin can become a concubine, then Ma Zhide will be an earl.

This is a real step up to the sky, and it is also the main reason why the civilian families of the Ming Dynasty are so enthusiastic about the royal family's selection of concubines.

Today's Ming officials are separated from the noble class. Even if you are a first-rank official, you may not be able to be knighted, but for the concubine's family, being knighted is only a matter of course.

The Ma family is a family of craftsmen, because one daughter can enter the noble class, this is really a pie from heaven for the Ma family.

Only Ma Xin fell into a dream, unable to tell whether it was sadness or joy.This incident was too sudden, with just one glance, my life was decided.

She also had a good impression of Zhu Zhanji. She didn't dare to take a closer look just now, but she only remembered that he was tall.Thinking of becoming one of his wives in the future, she felt a little scared and looked forward to it, and she couldn't help being upset.

After all, she is only 13 years old!

Zhu Zhanji turned his head to look, and told Liu Wan, "Take two young eunuchs and escort Miss Ma back to Suzhou with the inner eunuch ship."

Liu Wan bowed and said, "Yes!"

Zhu Zhanji said to Li Liang again: "Go and find out who the relative selection envoy in Suzhou is, and explain this matter to them."

This is the so-called internal decision. Since it is the concubine chosen by Zhu Zhanji himself, as long as he applies for the election, he can directly omit most of the procedures and don't have to go through the first five levels.

Ma Zhide doesn't understand these things, but Ma Zhicai is very aware of this.My niece no longer has to go through the selection of eunuchs and maids, but directly faces the selection of concubines, emperors, and Zhu Zhanji.

He knew that there is now a Sun family in the palace, who is the chosen grandson concubine selected by the royal family.But since Xin'er is the grandson's own fancy, even if she can't be the grandson's concubine, Liangdi, at least she will be a fourth-rank Liangyuan.

He took the lead in kneeling down and said: "Wei Chen represents 26 members of the Ma family, thank you for your grace."

As soon as he knelt down, everyone knelt down, and Zhu Zhanji helped them up one by one. "It doesn't have to be like this, we will be a family from now on..."

He took the opportunity to look at the shy Ma Xin again. This little girl is pretty and lovely. Taking her in will not only enjoy her beauty, but also make the whole Ma family grateful. It's not a loss if you work hard!
