My Daming New Empire

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang just took the blame for Confucianism, and it was Confucianism, not Zhu Yuanzhang, who really made the stereotype prosper.

Zhu Zhanji wants to abolish stereotyped writing, but it is difficult to say, and easy to say.

The difficulty is that he is not yet the emperor, and he has not subdued the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty.

When he becomes emperor, everyone will learn according to his preferences.

Just like he favored Ma Di, as a result, whether it is Habayashi Wei Xue or Guozijian, many people have started to learn Gewu.

Whether they really like it or cater to Zhu Zhanji's preferences, this is a kind of progress.

After he ascended the throne, not to mention banning stereotyped essays all at once, he only needs to increase the scores of physics, chemistry, agronomy, and mathematics in future exam questions, and only Confucianism accounts for 30.00% of the score. At that time, everyone will Actively learn other subjects.

As for Confucianism, since it is useless to learn it, naturally not many people learn it.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji is not in a hurry now. According to his plan, he will be able to be in charge of the family after the next department, Qiu Wei and Chun Wei.

Now his name is not right, and he is not ready to replace Confucianism and the study of talent selection in stereotyped essays.

More importantly, the students had no chance to learn other knowledge at all, and no one could understand the questions he asked. At this time, if the stereotyped essays were directly canceled, there would be big troubles.

Even if next year's Chunwei will be tested, he will add some content, but the weight of these content will not be too large for the time being.

This matter can only be done slowly, the more urgent the more mistakes will occur.

"Your Highness, in a few days it will be August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival. Concubine Zhang Guifei in the harem said that they have rehearsed a few more scenes. Do you want your slaves to arrange it?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Go and tell the concubine mother, let her arrange for the lonely concubine and the child to join in the fun, and the orphan will not get involved."

People in this era like to watch dramas, but for Zhu Zhanji, these are not only not enjoyment, but also torture.

He didn't want to put on airs and sit there and suffer for hours.

But since it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's time to relax.He also said: "The theater is arranged in the daytime, and in the East Garden at night, I want to play games with the children and enjoy the moon."

(Academic stuff is too brain-intensive, it will be solved in one chapter, and I won’t write too much about it later)

Chapter 96 Mid-Autumn Festival

After the car accident in June, Ma Zhicai learned from the pain and devoted all his energy to improving the train.

From sculpting the globe, to making the first lathe in Ming Dynasty, to studying the connecting parts of the waterwheel drive, Ma Zhicai is already the top mechanical expert in Ming Dynasty.

During the first industrial revolution, many inventions and creations were actually separated by a layer of window paper. The application of many new technologies was mainly a matter of thinking.

But Ma Zhicai is different. He has a wealth of experience, and Zhu Zhanji's "guidance" allows him to reach a depth far beyond that of ordinary inventors.

Your Highness said that the wheels of the train need to be enlarged, so increase it.

Your Highness said that the wheels of the train need to be linked, so study the linkage device.

Although he is currently named as Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, in fact, he is the head of the Xiamaqiao Machinery Research Institute, just like Zhu Zhanji's personal expert.

He doesn't pay much attention to Yuanwailang's status now, let alone a Yuanwailang, what can he do if he is a minister of the Ministry of Industry?

When His Highness takes the throne, he will be a mechanical expert in front of the emperor. This identity is far more enviable than other identities.

For two months, he actively discussed with the craftsmen in various workshops to solve the brother problems encountered in the research.

From the melting of pure steel in the smelting workshop, to the experiment of mud model, wax model and steel model.

The problem of air bubbles in molten steel alone troubled Ma Zhicai and those technicians for half a month.

He was also an experienced blacksmith who proposed a venting design. Two more venting holes were designed on the mold to allow the molten steel to fully ventilate when it entered the mold. This solved the air bubbles in the wheel casting.

Originally, it was just a wheel with a diameter of [-] centimeters. Such a casting does not require a too precise mold to obtain a wheel casting with sufficient strength.

But when the diameter of the wheel is doubled and a half, and the weight is increased by six or seven times, such a large fine steel casting has far more details to solve than copper castings.

Finally, a wheel with qualified strength can be cast. In addition to the power part, the size of the lathe, the size of the grinder, and the size of the fixture must be improved according to the size of the wheel.

In addition to these, there is also the wheel linkage part of the train, which also needs to be studied carefully.

The first train car wheels, because no power transmission is required, are a row of wheels installed at the bottom of the car and mounted on the rails.

These wheels are the same as the small wheels under the minecarts of later generations. They are all independent and can only change direction according to the rails.

But now the small wheels have been changed to big wheels, and Zhu Zhanji also requires the two rows of wheels in the same position to turn uniformly when turning, which can increase the stability of the carriage.

Because this technology does not require active control, it is only a passive adjustment, so it is only necessary to add a connecting part to the wheel on the wheel axle to connect the wheels on both sides.

This technology is not difficult, much simpler than the manufacture of wheels, and was designed earlier than wheels.

After more than two months of troubleshooting and resolution, the second test run was scheduled on August [-]th, which was also specially made to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival the next day.

However, because Zhu Zhanji was going to receive the three kings from Sulu country in Nanyang, Huang Yuanli from Boni country, Huang Yuansun's sister and brother, he was not able to go to Xiamaqiao Farm to witness the operation of the train.

After three years in the Sulu Kingdom, the Eastern King Batu Gebahara has passed away. According to the original history, he died in Dezhou when he returned to the Sulu Kingdom on a pilgrimage to the Ming Dynasty.

Then, he was buried in Dezhou, and left descendants to guard the tomb and integrated into China.

But in this life, because Zhu Di was going to the West, they did not come to Daming for pilgrimage, and when Zhu Di passed through Sulu on the way to the West, the Eastern King had already died.

Zhu Di directly canonized East King Prince Du Ma Han as the new East King, and accepted the surrender of Su Lu Kingdom.

This kind of acceptance is not simply canonization, but the acceptance of Sulu Kingdom as the territory of Ming Dynasty, and officials will be appointed to Sulu Kingdom to manage it.

The reason why they are willing to surrender is mainly because they want to settle down in peace, be protected by Ming Dynasty, and let the common people live a good life.

After Daming accepted them, they not only had to appoint officials, but also exported technology to them to help them improve their living environment.

They can all see the changes in Luzon. Originally, Luzon has strong winds for half of the year, which is far worse than the quiet Sulu Kingdom located next to the equator.

However, under the leadership of Xu Chailao, Luzon is developing better and better, leaving Sulu Kingdom far behind, so they are a little anxious now.

After arranging domestic affairs, the three kings, together with their families, came to Yingtian Mansion on the spice ship of the inner prison to ask for support.

But the Boni Kingdom is different. They had already requested the inclusion of Daming in the seventh year of Yongle, and Zhu Di at that time also agreed.

However, the old king Huang Senping died in Yingtian Mansion at that time, and the two kings later fought for several years. Later, his heart turned to Huang Yuansun of the Ming Dynasty, Sharif Ali, to take power.

Huang Yuansun wanted to join Daming wholeheartedly, but his brother-in-law, that is, Sharif Ali, had concerns and delayed until now.

When Zhu Di passed through the country of Boni, he didn't stay because of time, which made both Sharif Ali and Huang Yuansun panic.

They followed the fleet to Star City to plead guilty, but Zhu Di didn't see them in his eyes, and pushed them back to Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji of Boni Country must be won, just for the high-quality oil there, Zhu Zhanji will not let this place go.
