Borrow the day to change the day

() After all those qualified to participate in the meeting gathered, Huang Taiji came to attack Shanhaiguan with expectations and dreams. Now that everything was shattered, he felt very tired and asked with a hint of helplessness: "What should I do next? To fight, or to withdraw, whoever has a good idea, let me hear it."

No one spoke, and everyone lowered their heads.In the past two days, I have seen the majesty of Shanhaiguan. The Ming army stationed in the Ming Dynasty calmly obeyed the law. Without internal support, how could it be defeated.

Once the Jianlu leaders changed their arrogance before they came, they could talk about retreating, but they couldn't say this from their own mouths anyway.

Huang Taiji waited for a while, but when no one answered, he called the roll call: "Brother, what do you think we should do next?"

Daishan looked at Huang Taiji and said, "The Great Khan is in charge of everything." A Taiji was pushed back.

Huang Taiji looked at Amin and Mang Gurtai again, seeing their expressions, as if they had nothing to do with him, completely forgetting that before the war, they were the most vicious ones who instigated troops everywhere.

When it is beneficial, I will jump out and show it, and when it is not beneficial, I will be a coward.That's all, usually they often unite against themselves, and even drag themselves back.What happened today, if they hadn't been instigating behind their backs, they would have sent troops to Shanhaiguan so casually.Huang Taiji felt ruthless in his heart, and he dealt with them when he went back.

After Huang Taiji thought about it, he had to come to his own conclusion: "Shanhaiguan is a hard bone, a tortoise shell. Now that we smash the bones, we no longer have the sharp weapon to smash the tortoise shell, and it will be useless to fight any more."

Mang Gurtai laughed secretly in his heart, and returned the sharp weapon, sharp as a bird.

"I know that there are still a few county towns belonging to Yongping Mansion nearby, so the army turned around and knocked down these county towns, so as not to return empty-handed, and let the Dajin warriors relax." Huang Taiji decided to let go of his hands and feet and let his subordinates The people who had to grab it again restored their morale.

"I don't know which counties the Great Khan wants to attack, can he be defeated?" Amin suddenly asked sullenly from below.

Hearing the words, Huang Taiji stared at Amin for a while, and then said: "The warriors of gold are invincible. Could it be that they can't even defeat a small county town? Are you timid?"

"Where, where, I'm just asking." After Amin finished speaking, she shrank her head and looked down at her finger ring.

"After lunch at noon, the army will turn to Funing, and all the flags will prepare quickly." After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned back to the back tent.

Not to mention Jianlu's frustration, but Zhong Jinwei and Xu Guangqi came to the Forbidden City excitedly, and saw that a row of cement houses outside the Meridian Gate had been built, and the inside was being painted with lime.

While waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to summon them, they visited the first concrete building in Ming Dynasty.

Wu Shengda, who was in charge of this matter, saw Zhong Jinwei and Xu Guangqi, and hurried over to see them.

These days, he has seen more senior officials up and down than all the time before.

At the beginning, he was a bit restrained, and he only answered when the visiting officials asked a question.When the number of visits increased, he made a summary by himself, telling the details and advantages of the cement house to the officials who came to visit. The advantage of this is that he can introduce comprehensively and express himself.

In front of Zhong Jinwei, naturally there is no need for introduction.After Zhong Jinwei visited it for a while, he felt a bit like a later life.It would be great if it was equipped with glass, and the current colored glaze will be fine, but the light is a little darker.

After a short while, the servant came to deliver an imperial edict to see him.

Zhong Jinwei and Xu Guangqi stopped visiting and went to Wenhua Hall to meet Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen had already been discussing with Wen Tiren, when Zhong Jinwei and the others came over, they stopped the discussion immediately.Of course, chickens that can lay golden eggs should be given priority.

Xu Guangqi presented the memorial, and Emperor Chongzhen read it seriously.

Although he doesn't understand the new kiln, from the detailed description of the memorial, he can still see the improvement of this new kiln and the final output.

Emperor Chongzhen liked to see such memorials very much, and nodded repeatedly.After reading it, I will immediately write a batch of imperial pens and play them quasi-playing.

Then, Emperor Chongzhen said to Xu Guangqi: "Xu Qing, this matter needs to be dealt with immediately, and the cement should be produced as soon as possible. I will allocate 2 taels of silver to you first, and if it is not enough, come and ask me for it."

Zhong Jinwei first heard that it was only 2 taels, and then immediately converted it into the RMB of later generations, multiplied it by [-], and found that it was not a lot.I didn't say anything more, I used it first, anyway, there are free labor available outside the city.

Xu Guangqi thanked Emperor Chongzhen, and then said that he would go back to arrange a new venue.

Zhong Jinwei quickly stopped him, then turned to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, there are many things that need to be organized and supervised by Mr. Xu. Now he is busy until late every day, and I am worried about his health."

As soon as Zhong Jinwei said this, Emperor Chongzhen quickly said to Xu Guangqi: "Xu Qing, many plans have just started, cement, glass, steel. There is also the curriculum of national education, which Master Zhong said will be recompiled. Mathematics, I It is going to be handed over to you to write courses at all levels, you can't be sick and make trouble."

When Xu Guangqi heard that there were so many things he was interested in waiting for him to do, he quickly expressed his position to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I am in good health, and I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty until I die."

Zhong Jinwei heard that Xu Guangqi still wanted to die, so he interjected: "It doesn't matter if you die, who will do this job?" After finishing speaking, he turned to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that he should not be allowed to die. already."

Inside the Wenhua Palace, there were all Zhong Jinwei's acquaintances, and they all laughed at his funny words.Emperor Chongzhen said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, what advice do you have?"

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the imperial doctor check his body on a regular basis. Oh, other important people's health should also be checked. For example, Mr. Wen Ge, who is getting older, should also be monitored and checked."

"Well, what Master Zhong said is right. I will ask the imperial doctor to draw up a memorial and arrange for my important ministers to have regular physical examinations." Emperor Chongzhen thought this idea was good. It is a good idea to grasp the minister's physical condition.

Wen Tiren and Xu Guangqi couldn't help being very grateful to see that Emperor Chongzhen followed Zhong Jinwei's advice, cared about his body, and checked himself regularly.

In fact, they do not lack the money for a doctor to check their bodies, but who would think of a doctor when they are in good health?Now the emperor wants to do this for them on a regular basis, of course he is grateful.

"Sir, thank you for your grace." Wen Tiren and Xu Guangqi knelt down and saluted very grandly.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he stood up quickly and put his hands on his hands: "The two love ministers are my vassals, and I can't do without you. It is also necessary to care about your health. It is really thanks to Master Zhong's reminder."

After the two old guys stood up, looking at Zhong Jinwei, who was watching the excitement, his favorability for him increased a lot.

"Your Majesty, I have another proposal." Zhong Jinwei said to Emperor Chongzhen when he saw that they were done politely.

"Oh, Master Zhong, if you have any good suggestions, just say it." Emperor Chongzhen encouraged Zhong Jinwei as he sat back on the throne.

"Actually, it's not a suggestion, but I want to recommend two people." Zhong Jinwei felt that the wording was inappropriate, so he corrected it first.

Emperor Chongzhen was very interested in the person recommended by Zhong Jinwei, so he nodded and asked Zhong Jinwei to continue.

"One is Song Yingxing, from Jiangxi, and he should be a Juren now. I heard in his hometown that this person has a wide range of knowledge, from food to clothing, agricultural tools, porcelain firing, carts, boats, bows, crossbows, and artillery. Therefore, I think, This person can be Master Xu's assistant, manage and coordinate all kinds of craftsmen."

After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, he looked sideways at Xu Guangqi.Xu Guangqi was also looking at him, expressing his gratitude to him.

Xu Guangqi felt a little sorry. In order to reduce his burden, Uncle Zhongxing recommended Song Yingxing, and even arranged that he was in his hometown and had heard of this person's reputation overseas.It's a little bit too much, if there is such a reputation, it must be a famous person in Daming, but I have never heard of it.I don't know if the emperor would blame Zhongxing Bo for his exaggerated words after hearing what he said.

Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren understood the meaning of Zhong Jinwei's words, that is to say, this Song Yingxing is famous in later generations.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said to Wen Tiren: "Since Master Zhong has heard about it in his hometown, Elder Wen Ge will find this person for Xu Qing, and use him if it is suitable."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wen Tiren replied.

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he was relieved.Emperor Chongzhen didn't study Zhongxing Bo's words carefully, maybe he didn't care, but it's a bit strange that Shoufu didn't have any doubts.

Zhong Jinwei saw that Song Yingxing's matter was settled, and then continued: "Your Majesty, I still recommend someone, and this person has nothing to do with Mr. Xu."
