Chapter 617

Song Yingxing could only be dumbfounded when he heard the emperor's words. He didn't expect that in the eyes of the emperor, he would regard these things so highly. These things are not valued by the world.

"Your Majesty, minister..." Song Yingxing choked up, unable to speak, finally someone appreciates these things, rare, rare!These are just like what the emperor said, although they are not some great knowledge and are not valued by the world, but in fact, these are major issues related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. Without these skills, what do people eat?what to wear?for what?Song Yingxing originally thought that only he could understand these things, but he did not expect that the emperor would take this matter so seriously, as if meeting a confidant whom he had not met for many years, he wished to show his heart immediately.

Yang Reform looked at the excited Song Yingxing, and knew that what he said had reached the depths of his heart. This person was probably also a prophet, or a pioneer. Unfortunately, in this era, no one can understand him. Well, this world can't tolerate his kind of thinking. His thinking runs counter to the current mainstream and is a non-mainstream, although the idea he insists on is correct...As a pioneer, a forerunner, he is doomed to be lonely, and he is doomed to be incomprehensible.

"... Well, now that the Qing family knows, why did I have to ask the Qing family to do this? The truth is often held by a few people! I know that the thoughts and ideas of the Qing family are correct. But looking at Daming, there are very few people who can hold this idea and concept. Originally, Master Xu is a good candidate, but unfortunately, Master Xu has more important things to do, and it is really inseparable. Master Xu is too tired, I think Qing's family is not even inferior to Master Xu in this aspect,... how about it, are you willing to do something for me?" Yang Reform sighed, this matter can only be done by Song Yingxing and left to others People may not understand what they mean, and they will not sincerely regard such humble things as a lifelong career.

"Return to Your Majesty, I am willing. Although I have no great talent, I hope that I will help Your Majesty. I also hope that my great Ming can live in peace and prosperity, and pass it on forever..." Song Yingxing immediately agreed when he saw the emperor open up his heart and tell him such a thing. Come down, this is meeting a confidant, and the confidant is still the emperor, how can we not be moved, how can we not be excited?How can you not agree?This simply speaks to my heart.

"Okay, but I want to declare in advance that to do this, I need to endure loneliness. Maybe I may not be promoted for many years. What I can do is to mobilize talents from all disciplines and industries in the world to assist the Qing family in compiling and organizing. Proving the skills of all parties, mobilizing books from all over the world for the Qing family to verify, can open up the cost of supply in this area, so that the Qing family will not worry about the cost, what does the Qing family think?" Yang Reform said again, doing this is temporarily true. I can't see any hope of promotion. Unlike other people, they can produce results soon. This kind of cataloging encyclopedias, or even doing things in the Academy of Sciences, can't be successful without ten years of work.

"...It's enough, it's enough..." Song Yingxing looked at the emperor with trembling hands excitedly, and he was incoherent. At this age, Song Yingxing also looked down on the examination of merit and fame, but wanted to compile the knowledge in his heart into a book. It is a pity that his family is not rich enough to write a well-organized book like "Compendium of Materia Medica". It takes money to research various techniques, and to refer to various materials and buy books also requires money. This amount of money is not a small amount. He is a small juren, and he is really powerless in this regard, but if he has the emperor's backing, the emperor provides money, and recruits talents from all over the world to help him verify various skills. This matter, I can only say that it is so beautiful that it is bubbling, it really suits his mind, this is a confidant!Hearing what the emperor said, he was too excited to care about anything.

"That's good! That's good..." Yang Reform was also very happy. This matter was finally settled, and then he said: "... I have already made an agreement with those barbarians, and they will assist Qing The family compiled books for research, they do have some skills in certain aspects, the Qing family must avoid it, they have to show their real skills..." Yang Reform said with a smile again.

"Return to Your Majesty, I understand, I understand!" Song Yingxing looked at the emperor with the mood of looking at his confidant, which is very easy to understand. The Yi people are indeed better than Ming in some aspects, such as astronomy, arithmetic, metallurgy, cannon, etc. If the Yi people had no advantages, then Elder Xu Ge would not have joined the Yi people's religion. Others looked down on them and didn't pay much attention to this aspect. Song Yingxing paid special attention to it. There was no way to do it before, even if he noticed this aspect. , and unable to make his own voice, now that he specializes in this matter, he naturally wants to show his ambitions.

"That's good!... Compilation of almanacs is for me and the emperor. Compilation of history books is for future generations, or for the court and literati. Only this encyclopedia compiled by the Qing family this time, It was made up for workers and peasants, or in other words, for all the common people in the world. Although the world may not understand the significance of what the Qing family has done, I believe that in the future, the business done by the Qing family will surely achieve great success. Shining brilliantly, the Qing family will surely be famous through the ages... Come, I will replace wine with tea, toast the Qing family, and thank the Qing family on behalf of the workers and peasants all over the world..." Yang reformed the prophecy and gave Song Yingxing a very high courtesy .

"...Your Majesty..." Song Yingxing was so excited that he trembled all over, took the tea cup handed over by Wang Chengen, and drank it in tears. To meet such a confidant emperor today, even if he died, he would be content.

"... Companion, in the future, Song Qing's family will compile books, and the fees required for proving skills will be listed separately, regardless of the amount. .” Yang Reform gave Wang Chengen an order on the spot.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen immediately agreed.

……

Watching Song Yingxing walk out of his sight tremblingly, Yang Reform felt that a great era was coming, and the technology in industry and agriculture would probably change soon. The industrial age was not far away. Basically, a systematic foundation for supporting the development of industry and agriculture is already in place. All that remains is to wait quietly for him to blossom and bear fruit and grow stronger. I never expected that this matter would fall to a juren on the head.The era selects a group of people and discards a group of people.

"Your Majesty, Kong Yinzhi, Duke of Yansheng, begs to see you." Wang Chengen had always wanted to report early, but the emperor had a very happy chat with that Juren. Wang Chengen suppressed his words several times when he saw that Juren left. He hurriedly reported to the emperor that the emperor asked Yan Shenggong to wait because he was talking to a Juren. Wang Chengen himself felt strange about this matter. Looking at the emperor's attitude towards that Juren, it was really rare and sincere, and Wang Chengen felt that he was right.

"Yan Shenggong? Arrived in the capital so soon? See you!" Yang Reform was overjoyed. This guy probably couldn't bear it any longer. He finally ended up in person. Now that he's here to play, it's good to deal with such a People, Yang reform has a lot of ways.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen immediately agreed, and rushed to invite Yan Shenggong.

……

"Minister Kong Yinzhi kowtows to His Majesty." Kong Yinzhi immediately kowtowed respectfully when he saw the emperor, but he didn't put on any airs of a descendant of a saint, with a look of sincerity and fear.

"Please get up, Lord Yansheng!" Seeing that Kong Yinzhi had no airs, Yang Reform changed his sense of Kong Yinzhi a little, and smiled to make him get up, and his tone became much more easy-going.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Kong Yinzhi had completed his etiquette, and it could be said that he was meticulous.

"Yan Shenggong came so fast!" Seeing Kong Yinzhi, who had done all the etiquette and was meticulous, Yang Reform didn't know where to start his words, and he was stunned for a long time before picking up this sentence.

"Back to Your Majesty, how can I delay if Your Majesty calls for you?" Kong Yinzhi replied in a polite manner.

Yang Reform was at a loss for words for a while, and he had thought of some ways to deal with Kong Yinzhi before, but they were all imaginary. The Kong Yinzhi he met in reality can be described as polite, and he has no pretensions or pride , All these little things add up, and Yang Reform really doesn't know where to start.

"Sit at Qing's house." Yang Reform was depressed for a moment, and immediately changed his words, changing Yan Shenggong to Qing's family, and asked Kong Yinzhi to sit down. It seems that there are no fools or fools who can be Yan Shenggong. idiot.

"I cannot sit in front of Your Majesty." Kong Yinzhi replied politely.

"It's okay, let's sit down at Qing's house. This is not a formal court meeting, nor is it discussing important matters, so there is no need to be so cautious." Yang Reform said with a smile, actually feeling very depressed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Kong Yinzhi listened to the emperor's words, and sat down in a well-behaved manner, which can be said to be meticulous.

Yang Reform looked really boring. Such a well-behaved person who is meticulous in etiquette, even if he has opinions on him, it is hard to say anything.

"I don't know if the Qing family has heard about the recent major events in the capital?" Yang Reform was no longer the previous emperor, a little depressed, and immediately went straight to the point, leaving the topic open.

"A major event in Beijing? I don't know what His Majesty is talking about?" Kong Yinzhi was startled by the emperor's stern attitude, and immediately remembered the Confucian word dispute, which was a major event directly related to his Confucianism , But if you don’t stand in the perspective of the Confucius family, this matter is nothing. There are bigger things in the capital, that is, the sweet potato incident, the Liu Tingyuan incident, and the root cause is the tax dispute.

"Of course what I'm talking about is education. What else is better than education? I invest millions of dollars to run schools every year. Hehe, I want to hear the Qing family's views on this matter." Yang Reform turned a corner But what he was talking about was education, deliberately disrupting Kong Yinzhi's thinking, so that he, who is meticulous in etiquette, would have flaws. This kind of meticulous etiquette is a weapon, a weapon of self-defense. It is impossible to attack him, as long as there is a flaw in his state, then his weapon can be said to be invalid.

"...Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that your Majesty's vigorous efforts to establish education is indeed our dynasty. No, it is a rare event in the millennium. After you have become the most holy teacher, Your Majesty will carry forward the concept of the former teacher and realize the ideal of the former teacher. Naturally, I fully support His Majesty..." Kong Yinzhi was indeed a little confused, and when he heard the emperor talking about major events in Beijing, he naturally thought of the sweet potato dispute and the tax payment dispute. This is the biggest issue in Beijing. Kong Yinzhi Yinzhi thought that the emperor was showing off and complacent, and wanted to talk about this matter. How could he know that the emperor turned his head and asked about education, which confused him a little, but fortunately he soon came to his senses. , He didn't think too little about it, and when he answered, it was clear and logical, and Kong Yinzhi also felt that the emperor seemed to have opinions on him, and he was not so friendly.

"Hehehe, the Qing family is worthy of being a sage, and they really have extraordinary insights when it comes to education. This matter is the prosperity of our dynasty and the prosperity of Confucianism. If the Qing family does not dislike it, it may wish to offer more advice on education. Now, the Lin Qing family and the others have gathered a lot of literati and celebrities, and since the Qing family is a sage, it might as well give them some pointers." Yang Reform said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am ashamed and dare not be ashamed. It is enough to contribute my meager strength to the matter of education. I dare not call myself a pointer..." Kong Yinzhi hastily declined.

"Hehehe, that's good. Regarding education and promoting the ideals of saints, I will trouble Qing's family." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"The minister leads the decree!" Kong Yinzhi generously agreed.

"I don't know what the Qing family thinks of the Confucian word dispute in the capital today? And what do you think of the current form in Beijing?" Yang Reform asked the core thing directly. Stance.

Kong Yinzhi was surprised again, the emperor had asked the core question this time, and the tone of the emperor was not kind!Kong Yinzhi didn't know why, the emperor seemed to be prejudiced against him, and it was very powerful, not as gentle as he often heard, Kong Yinzhi didn't know what was wrong, could it be that he offended the emperor?But he is confident that this is the first time he has met the emperor. If he wants to offend the emperor, where should he start?He has nothing to stop the emperor from making money.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Majesty acts with awe-inspiring aura, and with a sound of thunder, all the people in the world follow..." Kong Yinzhi remembered what he saw all the way to Beijing, and remembered the drinking of all the people in the world. Regarding this matter, he has nothing to say He didn't hesitate to praise the emperor, and he didn't want to make the relationship with the emperor too rigid.

"Hehe, awe-inspiring spirit?..." This was the second time Yang Reform heard this word today, and he laughed instead.If mobilizing the common people to support him is the awe-inspiring spirit, then forget it. From ancient times to the present, many forces have been ignored in the struggles of all parties in the court. It can be regarded as one of them, and it is also a powerful one. Once it is activated, it will indeed have an overwhelming momentum. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is awe-inspiring. This kind of power is often seen when the dynasty changes. At that time, there is a saying called "the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world".Yang reformed for a long time and spent countless energy and money before he dared to say that he could use this kind of power. Now it seems that the effect is excellent.

Yang Reform laughed to himself, but the atmosphere fell into embarrassment. Apart from complimenting the emperor, Kong Yinzhi avoided talking about the emperor's other issues. Yang Reform thought about it and thought of going elsewhere.

"...Nowadays, the dispute over Confucian characters in the capital is very lively. I don't know what the Qing family thinks about it?" Yang Reform was distracted for a while, and then asked this question again, but Kong Yinzhi didn't let it go easily. Pass the meaning.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Confucian classics have already been clearly explained by the ancestors and the sages. I don't dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sages..." Kong Yinzhi hurriedly gave way. Although he answered, he still kept avoiding it.

"Oh..." Yang reformed. This Kong Yinzhi did not exceed his expectations too much. His position in the land of China is indeed very detached, and he will not easily intervene in various battles in the imperial court.

Although Kong Yinzhi spoke in a detached manner, which somewhat annoyed Yang Reform, Yang Reform was soon relieved. Now that he had ended, he did not go ashore so easily. He was so weak that he was probably looking for helpers everywhere, but now he just kicked Kong Yinzhi, who wanted to maintain a detached position, to their side, and solved it together.Kong Yinzhi rejected the waving from his side, and if he also rejected the waving from the other side, he might be caught between both sides, because many things are beyond his control.

Yang Reform found some irrelevant words and talked to Kong Yinzhi for a while, such as Xu Xiake's travel notes, what kind of place is it?How about the local customs there!Where there are good mountains and rivers!Although there is no nourishment, it can be regarded as a little bit to reconcile the somewhat stiff relationship with Kong Yinzhi, and finally gave some things to Kong Yinzhi, which can be regarded as preferential treatment for the Kong family.

After sending Kong Yinzhi away, Yang Reform laughed. This Kong Yinzhi seemed to be well-behaved, with the appearance of a saint, but Yang Reform knew better. Keeping the way of the emperor and ministers, but in reality, surrendering is even more unequivocal, and I have never seen him die for the emperor, throwing himself into a well, scratching his neck or something.

……

When Kong Yinzhi came out of the imperial city, he was also sweating. During the period of contact with the emperor, Kong Yinzhi felt that life was like years. Why did the emperor have such a big prejudice against him?He, Kong Yinzhi, or the Kong family is confident that he has nothing to offend the emperor!Thinking about it again, maybe I shouldn't have come, but seeing that the world is about to undergo tremendous changes, his Kong family had to make plans early. He wanted to come to the capital to find out what happened, but when he came, he ran into a wall with the emperor. My heart is even more troubled.
