Chapter 1128
"What? The King of Fu is the domain of Annan? Has Annan changed to Fuguo?"

"The king of Tang has already sealed Dongwu, and the king of Fu has been sealed again. Does the court want to seal all the princes out?"

"You are ignorant and ignorant. In fact, the imperial court has heard about it for a long time, but you have never heard of it!"

"..."

In the south of the Yangtze River, unlike other places, many people's business sense is obviously higher than that in other regions.

"Fuguo is newly built, there are many good opportunities, who is interested, let's go and have a look together?"

"One of my uncles is in Yunnan. When Tang Wang became a vassal, he made a lot of money. Even if it is some common things in our Ming Dynasty, as long as they are sold to Tang, and then resold with their special products, the pure profit will be huge. There are twice as many!"

"Yeah, I've also heard that the feudal kingdom is newly built, and everything is missing!"

"..."

In addition, there are some craftsmen who are just around the corner.

"Over there in the Tang Dynasty, a carpenter will be treated very well. He will be served by servants, and he will not worry about eating and drinking!"

"It's not just carpenters, there's also a shortage of painters!"

"..."

If it is said that when the Tang Dynasty was newly built, only Yunnan and other neighboring places were affected, then King Fu was a vassal and affected many places.Not only in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan, but also in Jiangnan. Because of the demonstration effect of the Tang Dynasty, the news of making a lot of money spread quickly and caused heated discussions among many people.

Salt merchants are rich, even if they are hit by the "New Salt Law", the money they made before is still there.Now it just happened that the source of income was cut off, and Dongchang was shocked again.After hearing the news that King Fu was going to be a vassal, he was immediately moved.

Many salt merchants no longer think about how to fight against the court, but think about another way to get rich.

There is a saying that goes well, the more money you have, the more money you can make.

Things like building a new vassal state are waiting to be done, and there are many opportunities and money. This opportunity to make money is naturally much better than small troubles.As a result, the minds of the salt merchants were diverted.

Of course, there are still some salt merchants who have eaten enough meat in the salt industry and are always unwilling to give up. They just study the "New Salt Law" there, thinking about how to make money from the "New Salt Law" .

The movements on Jiangnan's side were quickly reported to Emperor Chongzhen through the chat group.In this regard, he is quite satisfied. On the Jiangnan side, where the "New Salt Law" is most likely to rebound, after careful preparations, there were no major problems in the end.And there are external things to divert attention, or this is also a way for Western countries to divert domestic conflicts through colonization.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts turned to Nanyang.Last year, Haojingao rioted, and many Ming people were looted.This matter cannot be forgotten.Dongchang and Jinyiwei have already been dispatched to Nanyang.At present, the center of gravity of the imperial court should also be shifted.Or, it is also possible for the next vassal king to be entrusted in Nanyang.

The shipyard in Tongzhou, due to the weather at the end of the year, did not test again.However, theoretical research, as well as the construction of hull components, have not been pulled down.From the present point of view, the method of covering wooden boats with iron, and using iron sheets to isolate and seal the propeller part seems to be a feasible set of methods.In addition, it has also been mentioned that another construction method of iron-clad warships can use technologies handed down from the pre-Qin period.

When he saw this statement, or because the achievement value was consumed a lot, the memory of later generations became clearer and clearer. Emperor Chongzhen suddenly remembered that when later generations visited the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shihuang, he saw engraved words about Qin Shihuang on the wall over there. A technical presentation towards the bronze carriage.If I remember correctly, there are metallurgical connections and mechanical connections for the connection of parts.

Among them, metallurgical connections include embedded casting, overcasting, and casting and welding.And this cast welding method includes fusion welding method, mortise and tenon joint plus welding method, overcasting, inlay plus brazing, welding plus copper peg plate connection, plug-in welding and recasting method.

In addition, there are mechanical connections.Including buckle and pin connection, live hinge connection, button ring fastening connection, sub-waist shaft connection, taper fit connection, riveting, bent nail connection, socket, snap connection and so on.

There are also many kinds of locking devices and mechanical processing techniques. Just a copper carriage gathers various skills of ancient Chinese craftsmen.With so many skills, can't they be used in shipbuilding?The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty could not figure out the method that the ancients could figure out?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help feeling more confident.I don't believe it, the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty are stupider than the ancients, stupider than Xiyi!What I have to do is to mobilize the enthusiasm of the craftsmen and give full play to their subjective initiative.This approach has already shown its benefits in the creation of new equipment and guns.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen thought of another aspect.The quality of Qin Dynasty has always been very high.Even the difference between the same parts is almost exactly the same.And this is all thanks to strict quality management.It is to let the craftsmen be responsible for each product. The craftsman is engraved on each product. If there is a problem, the corresponding craftsman can be found directly.

In the past, Daming was actually doing it, but it was not thorough. Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was necessary to strengthen management in this area.From now on, all products produced by Daming must be high-quality goods!
All of a sudden, Emperor Chongzhen thought of these two aspects, so he sent an order to summon the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the heads of various bureaus to discuss with them, and to come up with a strict quality management system. In addition, rewards for craftsmen , It must also be specific to the system, and it is no longer just a temporary gift from the emperor.Everything in the future must be clarified in the form of a system.

After finishing this matter, Emperor Chongzhen received a message from Ying Tianfu.After some consideration, he decided to go on a tour of Beijing and the South again.

However, based on the mob riot in Nanxun Town last time, Empress Zhou was very worried, and the first assistant Wen Tiren was also worried, and they both advised them again.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had already made up his mind, and he said to his ministers: "Last year, I toured the south and set up a township-level government agency. No bottom."

Regarding this reason, to be honest, Wen Tiren was somewhat resistant. He thought about it for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that there are certain things that the factory guards can take a video of, so that it feels like seeing it in person."

He didn't dare to ask the officials below to take a video. What if the officials below fooled him and only took the good ones?At least the factory guard is trusted by the emperor, so it is okay for the factory guard to take pictures, right?

However, Emperor Chongzhen still shook his head and said, "My decision to go to the south of the Yangtze River is not just about this one thing. Do you know what I value most now?"

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty!" Wen Tiren listened, thought for a moment, and thought of several possibilities, such as the implementation of the "New Salt Law" in the Jiangnan area, changes related to the opening of the sea, and so on.But he knew the emperor well, and felt that he might guess wrong, so he asked directly.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was serious, and he said seriously: "The most important thing for me is the dissemination of scientific and technological knowledge. Wen Qing doesn't know, but I really hope that this year's imperial examination content will be tested for scientific and technological knowledge. I can't wait for Ming's southeast, northwest, Yamen and institutions that study scientific and technological knowledge are flourishing. But reason tells me that this is unrealistic. Only with a sufficient foundation of popularization can scientific and technological knowledge be officially included in the scientific examination! Do you know why I value this science and technology so much? Knowledge?"

Sure enough, I didn't guess right!Wen Tiren thought in his heart, but also a little curious.He did know that the emperor attached great importance to this content.Both the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials are now promoting scientific and technological knowledge.Originally, he thought that this strength was already very high.Unexpectedly, the emperor was not satisfied at all, and even showed eagerness, thinking about going further.

Thinking of this, he tentatively replied: "Because this scientific and technical knowledge is practical?"

The scientific and technological knowledge promoted by the emperor has been confirmed from the aspects of new orders, and he believes that his answer should be almost inseparable.

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said very seriously; "I can tell you clearly that the strength of Ming Dynasty in the future, to put it bluntly, depends entirely on the promotion of scientific and technological knowledge. This science and technology can It is the number one factor that drives productivity!"

When he said this, he saw Wen Tiren opened his mouth slightly, and he seemed very surprised, so he asked: "Wen Qing doesn't understand? It's okay, as long as you remember this sentence, and work hard to promote scientific and cultural knowledge Alright. Whether or not my Ming Dynasty will become the real kingdom of the heavens and the number one power in the world, I mean that the real power of the whole world, including the East and the West, must rely on scientific and technological knowledge, not the Four Books and Five Classics!"

If Emperor Chongzhen had just talked to his chief assistant like this when he had just crossed over in the second year of Chongzhen, he would probably be regarded as crazy.At that time, at any rate, Wen Tiren had been the chief assistant for so many years and had witnessed the changes in Ming Dynasty in these years.More importantly, he is also a member of the chat group.When he first joined the chat group, the system explained the origin of the chat group to him, which is the result of future technological development.As a result, it was easier for him to accept Emperor Chongzhen's words than those who were not members of the chat group.It's just that his understanding of scientific and technological knowledge is far less important than Emperor Chongzhen himself.

"Your Majesty, I understand!" Wen Tiren bowed.That is to say, he no longer held objections to the emperor's second tour.

Of course, this is also related to the prudence of Emperor Chongzhen, and everything he did was eventually proven to be correct.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately laughed and said, "As for my safety, you don't have to worry about it. The prestige of the imperial court is higher now, and the imperial court's control over the local area is much stronger than before. Besides, , the first time is raw and the second time is familiar, I believe the factory guard can better guarantee my safety."

Speaking of this, he thought for a while and added: "Actually, the incident in Nanxun Town last time was all under my control. Even if there were twice as many mobs, I wouldn't be able to hurt me at all!"

After persuading Wen Tiren, Emperor Chongzhen stood up and prepared to go back to the harem. Before leaving, he said to Wen Tiren who was bowing and standing: "Before I leave, I will add all the members of the cabinet and the supervisor of rituals to the 'Wenhua Palace' for discussion." '. It doesn't really matter if I'm in the capital or not!"

Wen Huadian is discussing matters, this is a temporary group name, currently there are only a few people such as Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun.Emperor Chongzhen had made up his mind. Before leaving Beijing, he would spend seven to eighty eight achievement points, and then go all the way south to earn achievement points.

Hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, Wen Tiren was speechless.Only the current emperor has this method. It is really strange that Ming Dynasty is not prosperous!
When Emperor Chongzhen returned to the inner palace, he spoke softly to comfort Empress Zhou, and repeated the reasons he had said to Wen Tiren, Empress Zhou agreed as she put state affairs first.

In the end, Queen Zhou, as the mother of the country, followed the emperor's micro-service private visit, and her identity could not go with her.

Concubine Tian Gui had already accompanied her during the last private patrol on her micro-service.But this time, the emperor went to Jiangnan, and she was from Yangzhou, and wanted to go back to visit her relatives.At the beginning, the emperor also promised her that when he returned to Yangzhou, he would take her for a stroll in Yangzhou city. However, because of the mob incident, he failed to do so and went back to the capital directly. This time, he took her with him.

It is better to have her and other concubines taking care of the emperor personally than those maids and servants, so Empress Zhou has no objection here.

A few days later, under the guard of Liu Xingzuo, the commander of Jinyiwei, Emperor Chongzhen quietly left the capital again and went south to the south of the Yangtze River!
On this day, at the Governor's Mansion of Bangladesh, the envoy sent by King Tang finally arrived, but he was left in the cold.The Governor's Mansion arranged him at the station, and then he was not allowed to go out, and no outsiders were allowed to visit. In terms of eating and drinking, he was not treated badly.

This made the emissary very angry, and at the same time wondered what the Mughal officials meant by doing this?
He didn't know that the Bangladesh Governor's Palace was actually waiting for Shah Jahan's order.

At this time, in Delhi, the capital of the Mughals, construction was underway.Shah Jahan means ruler of the world in Persian.And this is due to Shah Jahan's southern and northern wars, which greatly expanded the territory of the Mughal Empire, making them feel that the whole world seemed to belong to the Mughal Empire, so they got such a name.

Shah Jahan was very dissatisfied with the palace and city where he lived, and felt that he was not worthy of his status.Therefore, there have been large-scale civil engineering projects everywhere.At the same time, Shah Jahan was also fighting for hegemony with the Persian Safavid Empire.

In the early years, Kandahar was taken away by the Safavid Empire, and this has always been the shame and heart disease of the Mughal Empire.Therefore, Shah Jahan has been seeking to regain Kandahar.At this time, Abbas I of the Safavid Empire was dead, and his national power was not as strong as before, which gave Shah Jahan a chance.

In the original history, in [-], he sent heavy troops to force the governor of Persian Kandahar, Ali Mardan Khan, to surrender, and he recaptured Kandahar, which also made Shah Jahan's reputation soaring.
