Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 375 Promotion of Sinology
There is actually not much to see in Xishan County at the moment.

Because there is only one street in the entire county, that is, a street about one mile long from the east side facing the port to the county government office.

Moreover, there are no other buildings on the street except for a few shops opened by Western firms, a branch of the Daming Bank, and a school.

However, Taichang took a group of people to stroll along this simple street with great interest.

He first led everyone into a store that sold daily necessities, because the majority of Japanese civilians went to this store to buy things.

In fact, there is nothing good in it, just some pots and pans, water glasses and kettles.

These are common goods, they can be found everywhere in Daming, and they are very cheap.

Of course, buying here is not cheap, the price is at least three times that of Daming.

However, the civilians here treat it like a treasure, touching and touching, looking and looking at it in their hands, and they are reluctant to put it down.

This is not surprising.

Because the processing level of Dongying is far behind Daming at this moment.

Just like a porcelain bowl, the surface made by Japanese people is not very smooth, and the color is monotonous, either black or gray, which looks rustic.

The ones made by Daming are different. Not only are they extremely smooth, but they also have exquisite patterns on them. Not only do they look more high-end, but the cost is not as high as others.

This is the gap.

Taichang picked up a porcelain bowl and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

He has seen the skill competition of craftsmen, so he naturally knows how this porcelain bowl is made.

In the past, craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty all used pedal-operated turntables, that is, they stepped on the turntable with their feet and shaped the shape with their hands at the same time.

If you use a pedal-type turntable to make bowls, the bowls made by not very good craftsmen will be a bit uneven in thickness, and even a little not very round, and the efficiency is not very high.

There is no way, because the turntable is generally rotated and stopped by stepping on it with feet, and the speed is not very uniform, which will affect the shaping of the porcelain bowl.

With the turntable driven by the steam engine in the back, it is different.

Because the rotation speed of the turntable driven by the steam engine is always uniform, it will not stop if the air valve is not closed.

Moreover, after eliminating the need to step on the turntable, the craftsman can focus on the movements in his hands.

In this way, not only the porcelain bowls made are much more beautiful, but also the efficiency is much higher.

He can be sure that these porcelain bowls are made with a steam turntable.

Otherwise, such a beautiful porcelain bowl would not be at this price.

He was watching there with a porcelain bowl, when a slightly jerky voice suddenly sounded in front of him: "Do you want to buy one?"

Uh, do I need to buy this thing?

Hearing this, Taichang looked up and couldn't help being stunned.

This Dongying girl is really beautiful!
The western shop is probably a clerk who is selected as a draft.

After all, it is relatively easy to sell things in this shop, and the wages for opening a Western shop will definitely not be low, so why don't Dongying girls rush to come here!

Taichang saw some indescribable images suddenly popping up in the mind of this beautiful Japanese woman.

In fact, Dongying still has a business that can be developed.

The business of Dongying is very famous in later generations.

However, this business is really a bit difficult to say.

As an emperor, can I tell the following people this?
He was in a daze.

Zheng Zhilong suddenly listened to him and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you need to wait in bed? Dongying women are quite well-behaved, so there should be no problem."

"Go away!"

what do you say?

Am I that kind of person?

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "You can ask those boring sons and brothers about this kind of thing, and I will forget it."

Boring boy.

Zheng Zhilong was also taken aback when he heard this.

However, a look of surprise soon appeared in his eyes.

It seemed that he understood.

Taichang simply put down the porcelain bowl and waved: "Come on, let's go to the school."

Although the clerk spoke jerky, his articulation was quite standard. It seemed that Xishan County had already begun to promote Sinology.

Sure enough, when they approached the school's wall, there was a burst of reading sound from inside.

"The heaven and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are full, the sun and the sky are arranged, the cold comes and the summer goes, and autumn harvests and winter hides."

This is the "Thousand-Character Essay", which is basically what the scholars of the Ming Dynasty learned when they were enlightened, and this is also what was used to sort the number rooms during the imperial examination.

Taichang walked into the wall, stretched his head to look into the middle school, his face could not help showing a hint of joy.

well.

There are quite a few students in the Xishan County School.

There are dozens of little dolls sitting densely inside.

Although these little dolls are not very old, they represent the future!
As long as these little dolls are Sinicized, it will be easy to control Dongying in the future.

The old scholar who taught in the school didn't know the current emperor. When he saw someone probing outside to interrupt his teaching, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, put the "Thousand Characters" in his hand on the desk, and then got up with a cold face. Come outside.

Who is this, who doesn't understand the rules, so unscrupulously looking around and looking for scolding!
He was going to come out and teach Taichang a lesson.

However, when he came out to take a look, he was stunned and didn't know what to do.

Because the magistrate is standing next to his house respectfully.

This guy, looking at your posture, do you still want to scold the emperor?

Ma Pengfei hurriedly stepped forward and waved: "Why are you running out? Why don't you go back to teach!"

The old scholar hastily bowed his hands and shrank back.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help smiling and said: "Pengfei, your school is doing well, and you have attracted so many students."

Ma Pengfei quickly cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, didn't His Royal Highness Tang order the states and counties to promote Sinology as much as possible? I thought that the children of this commoner family would have nothing to do except play in mud when they were young, so they asked the commoners in the county to treat children under the age of ten. The children are brought over."

Did you say that if you send it over, you will send it over?

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but asked with great interest: "Does anyone have any objections to this? They really sent all the children under the age of ten here?"

Ma Pengfei said without hesitation: "What can they have an opinion on? I don't charge them any money. Besides, I also take care of food and lodging. They wish they could send all the naughty children here."

Do you still care about food and lodging?
Taichang couldn't help but asked curiously: "With so many people, it costs a lot of money for food and accommodation, right?"

Ma Pengfei carefully explained: "This school has already been built, and it is empty even if it is empty. It doesn't cost much to live in, but it costs a little money to eat. The minister has already reported to His Royal Highness Tang, and His Highness also approved it. gone."

This guy is not bad!
Tang Wang Zhu Yujian is also good.

There is really no need to save this small amount of money. As long as Sinology spreads rapidly in Japan, it will be worth spending a little more money.

Taichang couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, longevity, this method is good, and it can be promoted throughout the New Tang Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yujian, king of the Tang Dynasty, hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang has already ordered all states and counties to do so."

Ah, very good.

Taichang looked at Ma Pengfei and asked again: "How is it? How do you feel about Pengfei?"

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian said very pertinently: "Pengfei is really capable in doing things."

Hearing this, Ma Pengfei couldn't help but tremble inwardly.

Is the emperor trying to promote him?
Sure enough, Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Well, if you have done a good job in the past three years, let him be promoted to Zhizhou. If he makes more achievements, he can be promoted to be the chief history of the palace."

This Xishan County is indeed well governed, at least the promotion of Sinology is good, and the common people here live and work in peace and contentment, and no one is dissatisfied.

This proved that Ma Pengfei was more attentive in his work, and he was more able to win over the hearts of the people.

This is what Japan needs most now.

Therefore, such talents must be promoted and reused.

Ma Pengfei was so excited.

He was originally a rookie, if Master Xu hadn't taught him well, he wouldn't know what to do now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Xu Erjue.
