Borrow the day to change the day

() "The little white-eyed wolf just picked up stones and branches on the ground and stole things from the old man; while the scoundrels from the west came with knives made in the village. These knives were sharper than the knives used by the old man. Because the road is too far, the people who come here have no strength, so they can't beat the old man."

Emperor Chongzhen was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then he understood that Master Zhong meant that the number of Westerners coming from thousands of miles was too small.

"There are two crises here. First, the little white-eyed wolf is growing up slowly, and his strength is increasing. The old man is better than the little white-eyed wolf by relying on the equipment in his hands. The old man's equipment, can the old man keep his wealth?"

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head secretly in his heart. If there is no change, as soon as this situation occurs, the situation will change suddenly.

"Secondly, the scoundrels from the west are more sophisticated than the old man's equipment. If one day, the people in the western village know about the old man's current situation, will they gather all the strong men in the village and hold the fine equipment?" If the old man does not change, even if he temporarily wins the little white-eyed wolf who has not yet grown up, can he still deal with the robbers from the whole village who came to rob together?" Zhong Jinwei finally ended with a few rhetorical questions My own analogy.

Emperor Chongzhen became more and more alarmed when he heard it. He didn't have much idea before, but he just knew that Daming was going downhill, and in the end he accidentally conquered the kingdom in his own hands, so he was still not very reconciled.Listening to what Zhong Jinwei said now, and looking at the whole world that Zhong Jinwei said, he realized that Daming is really dangerous.

"Your Majesty, Xu Guangqi recognized the strengths of Western countries and understood the gap between them. He began to actively look for various opportunities to learn advanced Western things, including various basic subjects. He looked for all ways to treat the hidden diseases of the elderly, and even wanted to Rejuvenate old people. He is No.1 who is really doing these useful things, so later generations call him No.1 to see the world with eyes open.”

After hearing Zhong Jinwei's explanation, Emperor Chongzhen understood why Zhong Jinwei was so excited when he heard Xu Guangqi.

Zhong Jinwei was still there to remind Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate these basic subjects. They are equivalent to the foundation of a house, and they are the necessary foundation for the elderly to have a good place to rest."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, expressing that he knew the importance of this.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen had listened to his words, Zhong Jinwei said to him sincerely: "Your Majesty, at this time, Daming can still be saved, as long as His Majesty employs the right people and takes the right path, plus Daming's own manpower and material resources It is not at all difficult for Da Ming to become the empire that the sun never falls as I said."

"I'm in the middle of the game, and I can't see some things clearly. I hope Master Zhong can teach me a lot." Emperor Chongzhen, who was standing upright, bowed deeply to Zhong Jinwei.

Zhong Jinwei was shocked when he saw it, and quickly returned the courtesy: "Your Majesty, don't be polite, this is what I should do, and, I think, this is also the reason why God let me travel here. I will definitely help Your Majesty, absolutely Live up to the will of God."

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

"Your Majesty, I will tell you about the arms of Your Majesty that you know so far." Zhong Jinwei said to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "Okay, Master Zhong, please tell me."

"Based on the history of later generations, and what I saw and heard after I came to Ming Dynasty, I feel that the most important helpers of His Majesty are, firstly, in terms of military affairs, there are Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng. There are various forces in the army. Lu Xiangsheng leads the troops, dares to fight, and is a person who can stand alone. Of course, there are some generals that His Majesty can use, such as Xichuan Qin Liangyu, and my brother-in-law Yan Yingyuan."

When Zhong Jinwei talked about Yan Yingyuan, he didn't feel any burden in his heart.Because that's what he thinks, and it can be seen from Yan Yingyuan guarding Jiangyin County on the 81st.

"This, Master Zhong has already told me, and I know it well." Emperor Chongzhen heard that Zhong Jinwei even recommended it to his own brother-in-law, smiled slightly, and nodded.

"Secondly, in terms of official administration, the minister is gentle and benevolent. He is good at dealing with the courtiers and Chinese officials, and he does not form a party, does not engage in private interests, and is clean and self-disciplined. People have nothing to say."

"I have already let Wen Qing into the cabinet, and I am very satisfied with Wen Qing." Emperor Chongzhen also commented.

"The third is the basic aspect, which is the technological aspect that I mentioned, and Xu Guangqi should be pushed."

"Oh, I'm still a little fuzzy about this part, Master Zhong will explain it to me in detail." Emperor Chongzhen humbly asked for advice.

"It's something that is involved in the lives of the common people and that the sergeants fight. It is just a matter of mathematics, which is used by the common people in arithmetic, and the parabola knowledge in mathematics is also used in the aiming of the soldiers' cannons. Xu Guangqi seems to have translated a lot of Western literature in this regard. Famous works, such as "Principles of Geometry"; also wrote many books on natural science, the most famous is "Nongzheng Quanshu". Natural science, Your Majesty knows, this is the basis for the development of science and technology in later generations." Zhong Jinwei is not very clear about Xu Guangqi's Writings, I told the two books I remembered.

In the past, Emperor Chongzhen did not have a deep understanding of this technology, but now he has paid attention to it, because the last time he heard Zhong Jinwei talk about technology, he knew that it must be very important for Zhong Jinwei, a person from later generations, to repeatedly emphasize of.

Emperor Chongzhen still knew about Xu Guangqi's book. Hearing what Zhong Jinwei said, he was a little puzzled and said: "I have heard of "Principles of Geometry", but I don't seem to have heard of the "Complete Book of Agriculture" that Master Zhong said. You didn't remember it. wrong?"

"It's impossible to remember wrongly. These two books are his most famous books, so I remember them." Zhong Jinwei said affirmatively, "There are many useful things in that "Nongzheng Quanshu". Woolen cloth?"

"Oh, according to what you said, this "Nongzheng Quanshu" really aroused my interest. I asked him for a copy to see what was written in it." Emperor Chongzhen showed great interest.

"Your Majesty, maybe my eloquence is not good enough to express the importance of Xu Guangqi. But what he has learned and the ideas he promotes are really the path that Ming Dynasty must take in the future." If it is for sales, it is estimated that Emperor Chongzhen has been encouraged to add an official to Xu Guangqi.

"Master Zhong, don't worry, I know your public heart. But I always have to find a reason to promote him. You should also know about those civil servants, right?" Emperor Chongzhen comforted him.

"Your Majesty, let him also participate in the manufacture of cement. In this way, he will have the credit. At that time, the cement will really succeed. I don't need a marquis. Just put Xu Guangqi in the most suitable position for him." " Zhong Jinwei came up with an idea, he really didn't care much about the Marquis or not.

Emperor Chongzhen was slightly taken aback when he heard this, Zhong Jinwei was able to sacrifice his chance to be a Marquis for a person he had never met before, so that he could find a position he thought was suitable, this kind of behavior has never been seen before!

Emperor Chongzhen was moved by Zhong Jinwei at once, so he put his heart and soul into recommending talents for the Ming Dynasty, and his practice of serving the public wholeheartedly is really unprecedented!

Emperor Chongzhen said to Zhong Jinwei with affection: "Okay, I will give him an order to go to the ceramics factory, subject to your restraint, and participate in cement production together."

When Zhong Jinwei heard it, what, let Xu Guangqi be his younger brother, this is a big joke.

Zhong Jinwei quickly resigned, and Emperor Chongzhen said to him solemnly and solemnly: "Master Zhong, don't underestimate yourself. No matter Master Sun, Zhifu Lu, or Shilang Xu, they are all recommended by you to truly serve the country. You, Master Zhong, are the only ones who can serve the country. He is my most important subject, and the person Daming needs most!"

Zhong Jinwei was speechless, I was just an otaku, just an ordinary commoner, why did I become the most important person in Daming.

For any emperor, the person who knows the development of hundreds of years of history and is dedicated to the country is not the most unique and important person!

Zhong Jinwei felt in his heart that Xu Guangqi, a celebrity, was older than himself, so it was not appropriate to be his younger brother.When he wanted to talk about it again, Wang Chengen came with Wen Tiren.Zhong Jinwei had no choice but to put Xu Guangqi's affairs aside, and first asked Wen Tiren how his work on public opinion guidance was going.
