My Daming New Empire

How can artisans and businessmen compare with those Confucianists who study the doctrine of sages.

Of course, because Zhu Zhanji didn't really do these things, it was just rumors, so even if these people wanted to object, they had nowhere to object.

The grandson has not yet been in charge, he is even worse than the prince, the prince still has a Zhan Shifu to contact the state affairs.And the grandson is still living in the palace, and a naval command has not yet been built, so they have nowhere to speak even if they want to speak.

In the imperial palace, Jinshen Hall.Zhu Di read the records of the grandson's speech submitted by the internal supervisor. He was already immune to the new nouns that Zhu Zhanji spit out every day. Although many words were fresh, their meanings were very appropriate.

And Zhu Zhanji wants to promote the development of other disciplines, and Zhu Di is also happy to see the results.

But on the surface, he still has to show his attitude. "This little monkey is lawless. Before he is in power, he needs to legislate to protect the property of the poor. How can those poor people have any property!"

Hu Guang, Yang Shiqi and the other cabinet members knew that Zhu Di's words could not be followed along.If the poor don't have property, don't they have no protection?of course not!

The poor have no money, this is a disgrace to the court!

Moreover, these people are very clear about the reasons for the change of each dynasty. These are historical issues that they need to study specially.

Did they really not know about the issue of land annexation?of course not!

But in each dynasty, until the end, the vested interests are people like them, so how can they say that this is their own problem?

Regarding this property protection law, it was actually not difficult to implement it when the Ming Dynasty was initially stable, when the literati class and the landlord class had not yet developed, the key was whether they were willing to do it.

More importantly, how cruel Zhu Di is willing to do it.Today's scholar class has not expanded, and the landlord class has not yet developed. More importantly, the world has been initially established, with fewer people and more land. Today's land annexation and wealth annexation are not serious problems.

Yang Shiqi was born in the poorest of civil servants. He lost his father when he was young and his mother remarried.His stepfather treated him very well, but because he offended the powerful, he was sentenced to the border guards in Shaanxi, and his family was ruined.

He has a natural hostility towards the powerful class and the landlord class.

Since he was called into the Imperial Academy in the first year of Yongle, Yang Shiqi was cautious as an official, kept his integrity, never accepted bribes, and never sympathized with corrupt officials.

He had a deep understanding of Zhu Di's character, and he heard the words and said: "The grandson's move is for the benefit of the country and the people. Just a few words are not enough to prove it. Please ask your majesty to ask your majesty to ask, so as not to misinterpret your majesty's meaning by rumors."

Zhu Di laughed and said, "He's going to Dajiang for business today, and when he returns to the palace after dark, I'll ask him."

This is tantamount to Zhu Di abandoning the ministers and not asking them in front of them. Naturally, he also meant to protect Zhu Zhanji.

When the others heard it, they also understood Zhu Di's intentions, and in turn they all started to praise Zhu Zhanji.

Walking out of the city along the Qingliang Gate and crossing the river, everyone first came to the mouth of the Qinhuai River.

The river beach here has deep silt and low-lying terrain. Zhu Zhanji didn't think it was suitable for building factories just by looking at it.

Song Li's understanding of the river course and soil quality is far superior to that of Zhu Zhanji, and he directly denied the erection of waterwheels here.

Everyone continued to go up along the river, and a large island appeared in the center of the river, which is also the famous Jiangxin Island in Yingtianfu.

The Yangtze River is divided into two rivers here. The north side of the island is the main channel, and the south side and the river bank form a Jiajiang River about [-] miles long.

The current of the Jiajiang River is not too fast, but the amount of water is not small.After choosing a river embankment with a solid foundation, Song Li had people install several force-measuring waterwheels in the water, and had people use wooden boats to test the water speed.

Although these methods are simple, they can also estimate approximate water velocity and hydraulic power.

On the other hand, Wu Zhong led a group of people to carefully study the foundations and topography of various parts of the river embankment to determine the most suitable place to build a factory.

This kind of test is time-consuming and laborious. If you want to get accurate results, you can't be sure in a while.

Zhu Zhanji was standing by the river, looking at the Yangtze River 600 years ago, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart and felt lonely.

Don't you know that this time and space is consistent with the original time and space?Will these things he did affect the original time and space?

I'm afraid not.

But no matter which time and space, everyone is a hasty passerby, and it is enough to leave traces of their own existence.

In addition to the factory powered by waterwheels, Zhu Zhanji also considered inventing electricity.

When he was in junior high school, he did an experiment, using two magnets and adding some copper wires, when they were turned, electricity could appear, and even a small light bulb could be lit.

And if the principle of waterwheel is used to drive a large rotor, it is also possible to generate electricity.

However, this is more difficult, because insulated copper wire is definitely not something that can be made at the current level of technology.

He also doesn't know how to make copper wires. The level of smelting has not yet reached a more mature stage, and electricity will have to wait for a while.

After obtaining all kinds of data, the group turned back to the city. On the way back to the city, they stopped discussing the construction of the factory. Zhu Zhanji had a detailed discussion with Song Li and Wu Zhong. He wanted to build a scientific research project. All kinds of talents needed.

There may be a shortage of officials in the Ministry of Industry, but there is absolutely no shortage of craftsmen.

The entire Ministry of Industry has rosters of various craftsmen from all over the country. No matter what kind of talents you want, the easiest thing is to choose according to the roster.

He is not going to handle this matter single-handedly, and it is not necessarily better for him to come forward than others for this kind of matter.

So the Ministry of Industry sent two Yuanwailang, four principals, and eight secretaries to help Zhu Zhanji select personnel.

Zhu Zhanji also sent a dozen eunuchs headed by Jin Kuo to select people according to Zhu Zhanji's standards.

Apart from the frequent personnel transfers at the Grand Court Meeting on the first day of the first lunar month of this year, the most attractive thing for the officials was a globe placed next to the throne of Fengtian Hall.

Under the stage, the ministers could vaguely see the territory of Ming Dynasty on the globe. They didn't know what it was at first, but after a few court meetings, almost everyone knew that it was a map of the world that the emperor had just obtained.

Although everyone wants to come forward to take a good look at the map of the world, but only a few people can have this honor.

At present, this map can only be viewed by important ministers, and each of them is strictly required to be known by others, especially foreign envoys.

Although most people don't know the details, rumors have been rampant recently.The Ming Dynasty only occupied less than one-fiftieth of the territory in the world, and the so-called Central Empire was just a frog at the bottom of a well, watching the sky from sitting in a well.

When Zheng He returned to his teacher this time, he planned to visit the New World according to the map of the world.

Therefore, this map is now the biggest secret of Ming Dynasty, and it will not be known to people from other countries.

But those who say this are often contradicted by others.Since it is a secret, why did the emperor show it in Fengtian Hall?

Of course, Zhu Di did this to demonstrate his literary and martial arts skills, and also to subtly influence the ministers and cultivate their passion for foreign conquests.

As for guarding against foreign envoys, Zhu Di actually didn't care.Because apart from Ming Dynasty, almost no country has the ability to send a large fleet to occupy those lands.

Not to mention fleets, many countries don't even know how to build sea-going ships. Even Japan's ships are pitifully small. They can only sail along the coast and avoid storms.

Even in those island countries in Southeast Asia, most of their boats are small sampans. They can't even build large ships that exceed one thousand stone, and they don't have the wood suitable for building large ships.

So Zhu Di is not very worried that other people will be the first to get to the map after they know it. He still keeps it private, mainly because Zhu Zhanji does not agree with the complete disclosure at this time.

Because Zhu Zhanji was worried that these maps would be copied by others and spread to Europe. At that time, it would be equivalent to adding opponents at sea to Ming Dynasty.

This world belongs to Daming, and he will never allow Europeans to become the masters of the world again.

Therefore, these places can only be occupied by Daming first.And he wants to lock those Europeans in Europe and never give them a chance to develop.
