Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu entered the Royal Political Council, accompanied by Song Yingxing, Li Yizao and a large group of people, wandering around in various places.

Outside a huge glass room, Song Yingxing introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the grain seed laboratory, which specializes in cultivating grain seeds. We have cultivated a variety of seeds with excellent yields. If they are popularized, at least they can Increase the harvest by more than [-]%."

Through the glass, Zhu Xu saw many seedlings, green and lush, and the people inside were walking back and forth, very busy.

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while, without disturbing, and went to the next one.

Song Yingxing took a look and said: "Your Majesty, this is the research room of chemical fertilizers. Those who specialize in experimenting with chemical fertilizers already have many varieties. Whether they are in the field or in the field, the effect is very good. The growth of crops, disease resistance, drought resistance, etc. They all performed very well and could greatly improve the harvest..."

Zhu Xu could smell a pungent smell through the glass, nodded with a smile, stared at it for a while, and went to the next one.

Song Yingxing continued to introduce: "This is about pesticides, which are very effective in preventing and controlling some pests, especially locusts. Last year, there were large-scale locusts in Shanxi. We tested it and the effect is very significant, and it does not harm crops. Humans and animals eat it. It will not be poisoned..."

Zhu Xu observed for a while, without speaking, and went to the next one.

A group of people walked a little far this time, and came to a big house, and there was a harsh and noisy sound inside.

At this time, Song Yingxing said: "Your Majesty, this is a design laboratory for agricultural machinery, mainly related to irrigation, such as pumping water, water storage, windy type, human and animal type, mechanical type, and various plows. Harvesting tools, crop removal tools, etc..."

Looking through the glass window, Zhu Xu saw strange, tall, tall, wood, iron, and a mixture of big guys, standing all over the big room.

Song Yingxing introduced them one by one, but Zhu Xu stared at a strange thing in the corner for a long time, and said, "Song Qing, what is that?"

Song Yingxing followed Zhu Xu's gaze, and immediately said: "This is a water pump made by Dr. Qin based on the information from Xiyi, combined with my Ming Dynasty's ancient books. It uses steam as power and can pump five meters deep. water, but it was not suitable, so it was put aside."

Zhu Xu nodded immediately, no wonder he felt familiar.He used this improved water pump when he was doing underground archaeology, but it was naturally more useful than this one, and it was only partially pumped, and it was impossible to irrigate the farmland.

At this time, it is still a baby, and a newborn baby is useless.

Zhu Xu didn't say much, turned his gaze, landed on a big windmill next to him, and said, "Is this a fengshui wheel for irrigation?"

Song Yingxing is well versed in the past and the present, and has dabbled in the science and technology of the Ming Dynasty from ancient times to the present, not to mention that this is his subordinate organization, so he naturally knows it well, and after looking at it, he said: "Your Majesty, this is an exhaust fan, which is mainly used to extract the coal mines. If it's stale, you can pump some water if necessary."

Zhu Xu looked at it seriously, nodded calmly, and said, "Did you study it yourself, or did you combine the information from Xiyi?"

Song Yingxing didn't shy away, and said: "Back to the emperor, I combined the information of Xiyi. Many doctors and professors in the minister and the Political Yuan have studied it carefully. Some aspects of Xiyi are more detailed than us, and some reasons are clearer than us. Far, research thoroughly..."

The culture of the Ming Dynasty is to retreat, to study and write, and to pass on the name to future generations is the highest appeal of scholars. Even if they are keen on seeking officials in reality, they still can't change this point.

Therefore, in natural science, especially some details are quite rough, inheritance is limited, and faults are common.

Zhu Xu didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward.

Song Yingxing took Zhu Xu to all the laboratories of the Royal Political Academy. These laboratories were all-encompassing and included almost every kind of discipline.

There are not only "scientists" of Ming Dynasty who are dedicated to research, but also some missionaries. Europeans are here, with the support of the Political Council, researching some quite cutting-edge things.

The Royal Government Academy has been changing from its original role as an "academy", especially after the various colleges were renamed junior high school universities, and it seems to have become the highest institution of learning in Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xu went to the library again. It was more abundant than when he came last year. There were not only all kinds of books from the ancient and modern times of Ming Dynasty, but also a large number of books and translations from various countries, not limited to Xiyi.

The students coming and going were in a hurry, and everyone was racing against time.

Zhu Xuan walked around quietly and left the Political Yuan. Zhu Xu met with a group of administrative staff of the Political Yuan again, said some words, encouraged her, and then prepared to leave.

Song Yingxing accompanied him all the time, seeing that Zhu Xu rarely raised any other opinions, he felt uneasy, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty, do you have any other explanations?"

Zhu Xu glanced at him and said with a smile: "There is nothing to say. You guys did a great job. I have seen the one you submitted. It is very comprehensive. I am very satisfied with the emphasis on all kinds of science and technology."

Song Yingxing was relieved now, and said: "Yes, I will definitely do my best to complete the task assigned by the emperor."

In Zhu Xu's instructions to Song Yingxing's playbook, the key points have been delineated, and the government is required to vigorously develop it.

As for some other things, such as the steam engine, Zhu Xu was patient and not in a hurry.

There are some things that Zhu Xu can't do in a hurry. The technology must be accumulated little by little, especially some complicated ones, which can't be made by rote.

Song Yingxing sent Zhu Xu away, and stood at the gate of the commander's mansion with an uncontrollable smile on his slow face.

Li Yizao, as the director in charge of the "Department of Various Skills", said with emotion: "Fortunately, it is the emperor. If it were someone else, our whole life's hard work would be wasted."

Li Yizao is currently compiling a comparison of relevant technologies between Ming Dynasty and Europe. This is a fairly systematic work, which is extremely important to him personally, to the Political Council, and even to the entire Ming Dynasty.

Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creation of Things" has been written for several years, and the book has not yet been completed.

With the entry of a large number of European books, it is an extremely powerful supplement to "Tiangong Kaiwu", especially in agriculture and industry.

In terms of agriculture, Song Yingxing is mainly summarizing and summarizing, organizing and systematizing the technical experience of the Central Plains Dynasty from ancient times to the present.

In industry, the laboratory presided over by Song Yingxing has extracted zinc and mastered the smelting method of brass, which is being used on a large scale in various aspects.

These are major events that benefit the country and the people and will be passed on for generations to come. Without the support of the imperial court, they would not say that they cannot do it, even if they do it, it will be quite difficult. It is impossible for them to be completely obsessed with their favorite career like they are now!

This is the emperor supporting them, unprecedented!

Song Yingxing's heart was surging like a tide, but his complexion remained the same, he said: "Let's go, let's have a meeting too, and make plans for next year before the big discussion."

Li Yizao responded, Song Yingxing has been in the Political Yuan for many years, and he already has enough prestige, and he is impeccable in his conduct and deeds.

Li Yizao followed behind Song Yingxing, and suddenly his eyes moved slightly.

When Wang Qiaonian was rumored to be resigning from office, many people were speculating that Song Yingxing would succeed Wang Qiaonian as the fourth-ranked minister in the cabinet and concurrently serve as Dali Temple Minister.

In the end, it turned out that Wang Qiaonian did not leave, and Song Yingxing did not move.But this does not mean that those rumors are illusory. After all, Wang Qiaonian was the Minister of Dali Temple transferred by the Vice President of the Royal Political Council.

According to this precedent, it seems natural for Song Yingxing to join the cabinet and participate in politics?

Li Yizao didn't know what Song Yingxing was thinking, so he followed silently without saying a word.

Chapter 1481

In the evening, Zhu Xu returned to Qianqing Palace and listened to Li Deyong's report while eating.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet's series of policies in the parliament, the implementation of the law is relatively smooth, the official law, the security policy, the project plan and appropriation of the Ministry of Industry, the Supervision Regulations of the Governor's Council, the Dali Temple Powers and Responsibilities Act, the Ministry of Punishment's downgrading case, etc. It has been successfully passed..."

"The summary of this year's 'New Deal', the gains and losses of responsibilities for various progress, next year's plan, budget, assessment of various departments and officials, etc. have all been drawn up by the cabinet. They are brewing in the parliament and will be discussed publicly at the big meeting the day after tomorrow... ..."

"Acres of land, business tax, household registration, etc. have not been formed into laws this year, and the policy orders of the cabinet are still the main ones. The elders of the cabinet said that the main reason is that local opposition is too strong and no consensus has been formed..."

Li Deyong held a small notebook, and he said something according to the script, saying a few words and looking down.

Zhu Xu listened quietly while eating.

Sun Chuanting and others arranged in an orderly manner, with priorities and urgency in a reasonable and orderly manner.

Zhu Xu put down the bowl, picked up the soup, and said, "Well, I see, how is the preparation for the big meeting going?"

Li Deyong closed the notebook and said: "Your Majesty, it's almost done. The speech script of the first assistant and the speech script of Deputy Marshal Qin have been reviewed by the Supervisor of Rituals. There is no problem. They are all completed according to the emperor's wishes. Other laws and policies After deliberation, there is basically no problem.”
