System, help me be an empress

Chapter 72 The new method goes ashore

On the first day of July, early morning.

The new "big law" has been revised.

Miao Wenzheng, the left governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was in charge of interpreting the new "Great Law" in the main hall.

"Do you still have any doubts about Miao Yushi's interpretation?" Xu Youxi asked.

"I have an objection." It was Shizhong from the Ministry of Household Affairs who stood up, "Since ancient times, my Dagan has been the rule that the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside. Now the new "Daqian Law" actually promotes women to study and women to go out to work If a woman becomes an official in the court, then no one will take care of the trivial matters in the family, who will serve the elderly in the family, and who will take care of the children in the family, this is really unreasonable!"

"It's unreasonable to deal with trivial matters at home in my spare time; to serve the elderly at home; to send children to public schools at ordinary times." Xu Youxi continued to answer, "Women only know that the world is far away when they study, and women Only by working can you know independence, and women who enter the court and become officials and capable people live there."

Hubu frowned tightly, although he didn't continue to refute, but his face seemed to be full of disapproval.

"I feel that the age of marriage stipulated in the "Great Law" is really too late. If a man can delay getting up, it may be too late for a woman to remarry and give birth." Another spokesperson stepped forward to remonstrate.

"Oh? Which sage book taught you that women will give birth later?" Xu Youxi sneered.

"...I also listen to my grandmother talking about it from time to time."

"Read "The Biography of Female Doctors" when you have time. The younger a woman is when she gives birth, the more likely it is to cause dystocia. If you are uneducated, read more and don't listen to hearsay."

"Which Ai Qing has something to say?"

Xu Youxi personally came forward to insult people, even if these civil servants were dissatisfied, they still had to hold back.

"Regarding the reform of the imperial examination, do you have any suitable suggestions?"

Meng Zhiqian, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the military examination will be held in October this year. I would like to take this 'martial examination' as the first test to reform the imperial examination."

"Meng Shangshu really has a vision, so the military test will be conducted by the Ministry of Military Affairs with the assistance of Minister of Rites He Liu."

"He Shangshu, now that the new "Great Qianlu" has been repaired, you still have to be responsible for announcing the additions and deletions to the people." Xu Youxi continued to direct.

Yu Tan stood up and replied, "I obey the order."

"Is the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry here?"

"The minister is here." Wen Deyi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, usually wished to completely hide his sense of existence in the court hall. He could not speak without speaking, and he was a master of the court officials.

"It has been nearly half a year since I ascended the throne, and the Ministry of Punishment participated in the revision of the new law; the Ministry of Rites was busy popularizing education for the whole people, and found time to establish a public school; the Ministry of Households re-measured the land; the Ministry of War took the lead in reforming martial arts today; Can days do anything?"

"..."

Wen Deyi, who tried his best to conceal his presence on weekdays, was dumbfounded. In fact, he wanted to quibble, after all, he helped find many craftsmen in Shenji Camp!
Xu Youxi sighed, his eyes were full of disappointment: "After Wen Shangshu came to court early, he came to find me alone."

Minister of the Ministry of Industry heard that Deyi silently lowered his head, and Minister of the Ministry of Officials next to him, Yu Tan, couldn't help gloating, and cast a sympathetic look by the way.

#
After the early court, Wen Shangshu went to look for the new emperor in disgrace. Seeing his current state, it is not a proud smell, but a frustrated one!

Inside the imperial study.

Xu Youxi asked the eunuch to move a seat for Wen Deyi: "Wen Shangshu, do you know why I never approached you in private after I ascended the throne?"

"I don't know."

"Because the treasury has no money, I really don't have the confidence to find you."

Wen Shangshu's face was a little more puzzled.

"The Ministry of Industry is in charge of the world's transportation, and I have no money to support the Ministry of Industry to build roads; the Ministry of Industry is responsible for the world's water conservancy, and I have no money to support the Ministry of Industry to build bridges; the Ministry of Industry is responsible for large-scale civil engineering, and I have no money to support the Ministry of Industry Expenditures. After I succeeded to the throne, the treasury at home was empty, and the people abroad complained, and I could not move an inch."

While speaking, Xu Youxi recalled the information sent back by Jin Yiwei:

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was pleased with the news. This person is unsophisticated and neither active nor proactive.There are two reasons for being able to sit on the position of Shangshu. One is that he was born as a champion and has some talents;

After Xu Youxi finished speaking, Wen Shangshu immediately believed it: "Your Majesty is wise, the difficulties ahead are only temporary, and His Majesty will definitely lead the people to prosperity."

"I heard Shenjiying Teng Xuesheng said that Wen Shangshu is very interested in firearms. You drew the sight of the improved firearm by yourself? Even the flint gun was the first draft of your drawing?"

"A minister is nothing more than a little effort."

"Then Wen Shangshu is willing to participate in the research and development of firearms?"

Wen Deyi's eyes lit up instantly: "This is my honor."

In a few words, Xu Youxi got a feel for Wen Deyi's temperament.I just gave such a magnificent description of the future prospects of the Ministry of Industry, but the person in front of me didn't listen to half a word. However, when he mentioned the firearm, he seemed to wake up from a big dream in an instant, and he could talk freely at any time.

Xu Youxi wasn't sure whether Wen Deyi was only interested in firearms, or all inventions and creations, so he tentatively said, "Wen Shangshu, I got an interesting thing a few days ago, just take a look."

After smelling the opinion, Xindi took out this long cylindrical object similar to the 'clairvoyance'.He thought it was clairvoyance, but when he took a look in front of his eyes, he did not expect that his eyes were filled with colorful and strange patterns.

"Wen Shangshu can turn the front, and the pattern can change."

The object that Xu Youxi took out was nothing but a 'kaleidoscope' created by using the optical principle of a 'prism'.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Youxi saw that Wen Deyi suddenly put down the kaleidoscope, and began to stare at its gap thoughtfully.If it wasn't for Xu Youxi who was still at the side, Wen Deyi probably couldn't help but want to take it apart to see what kind of structure it is inside.

"Wen Shangshu, what do you think of this thing, maybe it can be sold for a good price?"

"How to buy it!" Wen Deyi blurted out.

"Wen Shangshu is also interested in this kind of thing that amuses children?" Xu Youxi pretended to be surprised, "This is just the most common one made by the 'Shengong Bureau'."

"Where is the Shengong Bureau, and what else is there?"

"For example, the textile machine manufactured by Shengong Bureau can support eight female workers to weave at the same time. But it's a pity, I think the spindle can be added. It would be great if one machine can support 80 workers to work at the same time. gone."

"In addition, Shengong Bureau is still developing various types of large machines, automatic spinning, cars that can run without manpower, and boats that can be rowed without paddles..."

"It's so miraculous!" Wen Deyi listened very carefully, "I don't know, Your Majesty, where is this Divine Works Bureau built?"

"Hey, due to the shortage of funds, the Shengong Bureau can't recruit people, and it is almost unable to maintain it. I don't know if someone is willing to take over this mess for me."

"How can you say it's a mess! The objects made by the Shengong Bureau are simply ingenious. If your majesty doesn't dislike it, I will volunteer to join the Shengong Bureau!"

well.

In the case of insufficient funds, no location and no employees.

The Divine Works Bureau has a director!

Celebrate all day!
