Jia Daishan's proposal at the court meeting immediately aroused public outrage.Anyone who attacks Jia Daishan will be secretly remembered by Liufu and Wangcai according to the saint's order.

After arguing for an hour, the sage spoke, "Duke Rong has been to the northwest for more than five years. Whoever thinks that he has a higher status than the duke may not go. The son of Duke Rong not only joined the army in the northwest, but also followed the sage. Those with a high status as the son of the prince may not go."

Pulling down the whole court, there are only a handful of people who are higher than the father and son.

Then someone said, "What about Duke Rong's second son?"

Jia Daishan immediately replied loudly: "He is the first batch of conscription orders."

Immediately, everyone was stuck. The second son of Duke Rong already had the status of supervisor, which was equivalent to juren.Jia Zheng has entered the barracks, and the others have no reason to shirk.

The court will quarrel for too long, and the sage asked the cabinet to discuss the specific rules of conscription tomorrow.

After hearing this, Jia Daishan turned around and went to the Compassionate Ning Palace. When others saw his appearance and contacted him about his actions the day before yesterday, they began to suspect that the conscription was the emperor's idea.

When Jia Daishan arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he didn't see his grandson and his grandson, but he saw the sage making tea for his grandson.After saluting, he went up to the sage and said: "Sage, Enhou said a few times that the sage made good tea, the old minister just happened to be here today."

Another courtier would never dare to talk to a sage like this, but Jia Daishan is not only invincible with the Taishang and has the merit of saving him, but also the martial arts master of the original body, who has taught the original body martial arts for more than ten years.

"Mr. Rong, since you've caught up, let's try my handiwork. Is it as good as Enhou boasted?"

The fragrance of tea overflowed, and Rong Guogong took a few sips comfortably, and said to the emperor: "The sage has been smart since he was a child, and he can learn everything by inference. There are many people who can make tea, but this kind of tea fragrance, This is really the first time for the old minister to drink it."

"Old Jia, don't say it's you, even I can't get it a few times a month. This time I borrowed your light. The saint just said you would come, and I specially prepared the tea set to thank you."

Jia Daishan quickly put down the teacup and was about to stand up to salute.Taishang immediately reached out to stop him.

"Forget it, old Jia, you can still afford Mingyun to make you a cup of tea. But this tea is not for free. After conscription, don't spend any more money. It's not easy for Mingyun to get this little money, you You have to be a little bit harder."

Jia Daishan felt that the overflowing tea fragrance and smooth tea immediately became unbearably bitter.

This black heart is worthy of being a father and son!

The next day, when the cabinet discussed the details of the conscription, since these important ministers had carefully considered it, it was unlikely that Duke Rong could bring it up, and it was most likely an idea that was too high.Because in the early years when Taishang Pingfan was in chaos, he had thought about doing this, but at that time Taishang was weak and was rejected by the cabinet, and finally nothing happened.

Then everyone agreed to deal with Jia Daishan's empty salary again, and deal with it strictly. Anyway, you Jia Daishan is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the stricter you are, the better.

When the two things are combined, everyone regards Jia Daishan as the "mouthpiece" and "puppet" of the Taishang.Looking at the sage's upright and serious attitude, the rest of the work was done quickly in cooperation with the sage.

Jia Daishan finally "takes the blame" on the Supreme Being, and was so happy that he told Jia Amnesty about it after returning home.

"Father, the emperor doesn't care. He only cares about the inheritance of the country. It's like a father would rather be a conscription paper for his son." Jia She said his sincere feelings, and his admiration and gratitude towards his father made Jia Daishan feel at ease in an instant. Satisfied and a little embarrassing.

"That, that, to do this for the father, others will think it's a great idea. If you do it, the saint may not achieve his goal so smoothly."

Jia She hummed for a moment, knowing that what his father said was right, the sage didn't have that much prestige, and he was able to manipulate the cabinet and the officials of the following prefectures and counties.

Taishang and Jia Daishan joined forces to make the conscription order go on smoothly.At the same time, there is the imperial court's policy of encouraging birth.

Regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, everyone under the age of five will receive a subsidy of ten catties of rice per month.After the age of five, they must be sent to study, and they will be exempted from having a meal at noon.

Boys over the age of ten study in separate schools from girls.Girls can continue to study in girls' schools for five years, learning various skills, such as spinning and weaving, nursing, accounting and so on.After two years of study, I started to practice, and I was paid for the internship.

After the boy is 15 years old, he can choose to work or continue to study.The school also began to divide subjects, from literature and martial arts to 18 years old.

All of these are free, and courses such as Gewu and Mathematics will take up the same weight as the Four Books and Five Classics.

The last one was obtained by Guo Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Jia Daishan, who had gone through the Imperial College and the Imperial Academy's educated masters and academicians in exchange.

That is to say - the article is well done, what should we do when the artillery of the barbarians hits the top of the city?

The cabinet was very worried about the saint giving such a large subsidy to the children, fearing that the court would not be able to afford it.After repeated discussions, it was discovered that such subsidies can make the people willing to have more children.

The sage said with emotion, "The large areas in Nanyang need people. The chaos in Annan has also been quelled, and the chaos will be pacified again. In the future, more people will immigrate from Guangxi, and it will be fine."

In the new year, the fleet returning from the West not only brought back the latest textile machines, but also brought back a large number of books on Gewu and mathematics. What shocked the saints most was that they not only brought back several of the oldest steam engines , and corresponding information, and brought back some people who are willing to continue to do steam engine research in Dajing.

For this reason, the sage chose a piece of land near the Changchun Academy of the Taishang, and built a Royal Academy of Sciences larger than the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Academy for those who are interested in researching things and mathematics.

The first president of the Academy of Sciences was Xingyebo Dai Zi.

The saint passed Xingye Bo Dai Zi to Wenyuan Pavilion, and pointed to the iron boat on the imperial case to show Dai Zi.

"Uncle Xingye, I wonder if this steam engine can be used on a battleship and combined with sails, will it gain a greater advantage in speed? If it is feasible, iron ships can replace wooden ships."

Regarding the issue of the iron ship, the sage and Dai Zi had already discussed it several times.Due to the great role played by the water hammer in punching the barrel of a gun instead of manpower, Dai Zi has a blind and enthusiastic worship of the saint.

Dai Zi has been thinking about the steam engine brought back from the West for a long time.He even led people to disassemble and install it, and tossed a few times back and forth, thinking about how to replace the water reel that was shut down in the north with a steam engine in winter.

The words of the sage lead him to another way of thinking.

"Sage, if this machine is used instead of humans to row the boat on both sides..." Dai Zi thought for a while before saying: "Sage, if the hull tilts, one side of the boat will not be able to paddle, and I'm afraid it will spin around in place. "

He was lost in thought.

The sage fiddled with the tin boat in his hand, and after a while, decided to give Dai Zi more enlightenment.After all, the form of Nanyang does not have an absolute overwhelming advantage in force. Li Zhun can't deal with the coachmen at sea, and he can't defend the Strait of Malacca.

The sage inserted the hand-folded paper pinwheel inserted on a wooden stick into the stern of the iron boat.

"Uncle Xingye, if this steam engine can drive the wooden stick to rotate continuously, the wind wheel under the stern can continuously paddle water, and there will be the power to drive the iron ship forward. The rest is to control the rudder of the iron ship .As for what you said about not being able to paddle on one side, it can be avoided in this way.”

Dai Zi watched the sage holding the iron boat model in one hand and turning the wooden stick in the other to show him.He nodded to the sage, and said, "Sage, I understand. I will resign. I will go back and think about it."

"Uncle Xingye, don't worry, just take a look at this."

The sage took a round ball and used it to defend the case, and the ball bounced.

"This is rubber brought back from Nanyang. It has good elasticity. I have someone put a layer on the carriage wheels to make it less bumpy. This thing is insoluble in water and afraid of fire. I think you may be able to use it."

Dai Zi focused on driving the iron boat that the sage said, took a big box given to him by Fa Cai, and hurried back to the Academy of Sciences to get busy.

In the spring of this year, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette reminded the Saints that it was time to consider the draft.Prince Fu also talked about this issue with the sage, saying that the marriage of the children of the clan was waiting for the sage to designate marriage after the draft.

The sage had lunch in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and drove Taisun and Jia Hu to rest for a while, and talked about it with the Supreme Emperor.

"Ming Yun, you are not in the East Palace now, and you should add a few more people."

"Father, my son now has five sons and one daughter, and the three sons are born on the same day. My son has a lot of things to do in the previous dynasty, so I don't want to add anyone for the time being. What is the father's plan here?"

"Ming Yun, my concubines here, I have ordered Zhou Yuan to give them all medicines. I don't want you to have new younger brothers and younger sisters. There are too many people left in the last draft, and I don't want to be here in a hundred years. Leaving a lewd mark in the annals of history.”

The crown prince nodded, he had already known about the fact that the crown prince ordered Zhou Yuan to order the medicine.

"Father, the marriage of the other children of the clan?"

"Let them hire and marry themselves." The Taishang felt that apart from Prince Fu's son, the others were far away from the royal family, and there was no need to spend one or two dollars for their marriage from the little money his son had worked so hard to pull. .

The sage and the emperor reached an agreement that people should not enter the palace, called Prince Fu and Minister of Rites Qi Shangshu, and said to them: "The emperor's grandmother passed away, and the emperor is very sad, and people will not enter the palace these few years. "

Prince Fu was a little anxious. He has several bastards who are old enough to marry.If there is a draft in the palace, he begs the Supreme Emperor, how can he give himself a little face, and those concubines can also choose a correspondingly better Yue family.

"Saint, many clan members have reached the age of marriage."

"The Taishang said that the bastards should be married by each family. Uncle, from now on, unless the prince, the son of the county king, or other people in the clan, I don't have extra effort, I will consider marrying them. Qi Shangshu, five Within a year, there will be no drafts in the palace."

Qi Shangshu nodded, the emperor can adhere to the etiquette, the saint can not be greedy for women, such an emperor, the future of the future is waiting.

Prince Fu lowered his head and conveyed the meaning of the saint to the clan. He deeply felt the difference between his nephew being a saint and his younger brother being a saint, which was too different for him.

Alas, it's what my team should do to make way for my son to be Zongzheng.As for the marriage of the bastards, let the princess and side concubine take care of it, everyone has his own destiny!
