Borrow the day to change the day

() Wu Shengda explained to him one by one, and Zhong Jinwei understood the general meaning.It's true, the contents on the drawings are all drawn by Wu Shengda. The bricks and walls are not standardized. The appearance of the kiln can be seen, but the internal structure is blurred. painting.It is estimated that other than himself and people who are familiar with him, no one else can understand this blueprint.

Holding the drawings, Zhong Jinwei secretly thought: Compared with the West, ancient China lacked a kind of precise measurement and norms, and lacked a common thing, so it could not be passed down well.Skills are passed on by word of mouth, precept and deed.It is not conducive to the spread and development of skills.

These things are reflected in Wu Shengda.Zhong Jinwei decided that this aspect should be carefully planned, and then he would talk to Emperor Chongzhen.

Wu Shengda was assigned to build a new type of kiln. He wrote down all the needs and reported them to Zhong Jinwei.Zhong Jinwei asked An Guiyi to coordinate and arrange the necessary materials in place as soon as possible, and another day passed like this.

One is that the experimental new-style kiln is small in scale and requires less materials; the other is that An Guiyi, the eunuch, is easier to use.

Specialized in special tasks, all were in place early in the morning on the third day, and more than [-] craftsmen started working in full swing in the cold wind.

They are all people who are used to the kiln, they are familiar with the key requirements of the kiln, and they work hard. The speed of their hands is very fast, and the new kiln is speeding up at a visible speed.

On the afternoon of the third day, Wen Tiren came to the ceramics factory to look for Zhong Jinwei.One is to ask the emperor how the progress is; the other is to show Zhong Jinwei the memorial of the road yamen mentioned earlier;

Zhong Jinwei first told Wen Tiren a little about the process of firing cement, the difficulties encountered and the current solution.Then he and Wen Tiren discussed the matter of the road office, and added some functions of the road office.

Now that the cement hasn't come out, the road government office can't announce it. Wen Tiren went back to report to Emperor Chongzhen with disappointment.

On the fourth day when Zhong Jinwei arrived at the ceramics factory, Wang Chengen, the admiral of the East Factory, sent someone to send Zhong Jinwei information about the restoration of the society.

Zhong Jinwei looked at the Fushe materials by himself, and asked An Guiyi when he came across words he didn't understand, and quickly finished reading the materials.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Zhang Pu, a boy from Taicang, took the lead in establishing Fushe in Yinshan, Wujiang.It is not a social party that Zhong Jinwei imagined, and he recruited people to form it. Instead, it is composed of many social parties, and the main constituent parties are all in the southeastern provinces.

The number of participants was relatively large. It is said that the boats of the scholars attending the meeting lined up for six or seven miles in the water river outside Wujiang City.

In name, it is to figure out stereotyped writing, learn from learning, sharpen character, and advocate the revival of ancient learning, which will make the strangers useful.

A very short piece of information, on the surface, it seems that there is nothing special about this Fushe organization, it just has a little too many people.

But Zhong Jinwei had heard of this Fushe, and Zhang Pu, the leader of the Fushe, was the emperor of the people.

Zhong Jinwei felt that it was necessary to remind Emperor Chongzhen, so he asked Wu Shengda first, and learned that the new kiln would take about ten days to be put into use. Let him know as soon as it becomes available.Then Zhong Jinwei went into the palace to find Emperor Chongzhen.

After hearing Wen Tiren's report, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to send someone to Chuan Zhong Jinwei to inquire about the situation.Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei came to him first, and it happened that Zhong Jinwei was arranged to meet him in the Lord's Hall of Respect.

The reason why Zhong Jinwei was arranged to have an audience with the main worship hall was to keep the cement confidential. It was agreed before that it would be announced to the officials after the cement came out.

Zhong Jinwei came to the main hall and found that only Wang Chengen was with Emperor Chongzhen. It was a little strange, but he didn't care about it. After saluting to Emperor Chongzhen, he directly explained his purpose of coming: "Your Majesty, I got the gift from Wang Gonggong." Restored social data."

"Oh, what does Master Zhong have to say?" Seeing that Zhong Jinwei spoke first, Emperor Chongzhen suppressed his concern about the cement process and let Zhong Jinwei speak first.

"Your Majesty, there is too little information to judge, but I vaguely remember that this Fushe organization will seriously affect public opinion and control the direction of the government and the opposition. Your Majesty, we must cancel this Fushe." Zhong Jinwei suggested.

After Wang Chengen got the Fushe information, he first showed it to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, I have also read the information on the restoration of the society. It is nothing special. Did you remember it wrongly? A few scholar associations can control the direction of the ruling and opposition parties?"

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe it, Zhong Jinwei couldn't help being a little anxious because he still couldn't remember how Fushe controlled the direction of the government and the opposition: "Your Majesty, this Fushe is different from ordinary associations. Control of public opinion is very important."

Emperor Chongzhen said indifferently: "This rehabilitated society is a bit different, and I can see it, but it's just a larger-scale association."

Zhong Jinwei saw that Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe that Fushe would become a disaster that would shake the foundation of Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't remember the details, so he couldn't convince Emperor Chongzhen, so he had no choice but to retreat.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I should remember correctly. If Your Majesty does not want to ban this organization, I have two proposals."

The atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty has always been relatively open, and folk associations will not be banned just because of a word.If this is the case, Wen Chen's saliva will definitely come over continuously.Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was unwilling to listen to Zhong Jinwei's unreasonable guess and provoke those saliva.

Now that Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhong Jinwei was no longer obsessed with canceling and restoring the society, he asked, "Master Zhong, what suggestion do you have?"

"First, send factory guards to the southeast to monitor the restoration activities, and report to the capital immediately if there is any situation."

This can be done, it’s just a matter of sending a few people.Emperor Chongzhen nodded after thinking about it: "What else?"

"Second, the public opinion controlled by the imperial court must go to the southeast as soon as possible to promote it, and the public opinion cannot be completely controlled by the people." Zhong Jinwei suddenly remembered that the public opinion guidance proposed some time ago did not know how it went. .Then he asked Emperor Chongzhen again: "Your Majesty, I don't know how the matter of public opinion guidance that I mentioned before is going well?"

Emperor Chongzhen was startled, and it took a while to remember that there was such a thing that he seemed to ask Wen Tiren to do it.So, he said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, I asked Wen Qing to handle this matter, and let him talk to you later."

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, a trace of worry surged up in his heart, that he would not have done nothing.So, he asked Emperor Chongzhen to ask Wen Tiren now.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little speechless about Zhong Jinwei's entanglement in this trivial matter, so he asked Wang Chengen to send Wen Tiren over, and then asked Zhong Jinwei what he cared about most: "Master Zhong, I heard from Wen Qing that your cement business is not going well? "

"I encountered some difficulties in the past, but there are solutions, and we are currently experimenting." Zhong Jinwei replied.

"When will there be results?" Emperor Chongzhen asked.

Zhong Jinwei is not sure whether the improved kiln can significantly increase the temperature and calcine cement.He said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the new kiln is under construction and it will take about ten days before it can be used. There will be results at that time. Even if there are still problems, just solve the problem. I believe that difficulties can be solved. It's mostly a matter of temperature."

Emperor Chongzhen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he was a little worried, so he asked Zhong Jinwei carefully.This is related to the one-stop plan, and it must not be messed up.

Zhong Jinwei had no choice but to explain the process to Emperor Chongzhen in detail.Zhong Jinwei suddenly remembered the matter of improving the treatment of craftsmen while talking, and emphasized the current situation of craftsmen and the role played by craftsmen in this experiment.

Finally, Zhong Jinwei emphasized to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to improve the treatment of craftsmen and increase the rewards of craftsmen, especially the rewards for their innovation ability. This time, if the new furnace can greatly increase the temperature, Your Majesty, you will be rich!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhong Jinwei say the word "get rich", his ears immediately perked up, and he asked in a slightly irritable tone: "Master Zhong, what do you mean by getting rich, but I can get rich just by raising the temperature?"

People who suffer enough from having no money, whether they are grassroots or emperors, are so sensitive to the word "get rich".
