Chapter 500 Confucianism Wronged the Country
Chapter 500 Confucianism Wrongs the Country
Double happiness came to the Prince's Mansion of Anguo County, Liu Hongjian was blessed with double phoenixes, and Niu Dabangchui, as the only retainer with the title of Viscount in the Prince's House of Anguo County, also had a son. up.
Liu Delong was unprecedentedly generous, giving rewards to the servants of the mansion without even frowning.
The courtiers experienced the turmoil of watching the torture, and their high-spirited fighting spirit seemed to be poured with cold water. On the second day, half of the courtiers asked for leave. Most of them were frightened and unable to eat. Do not go to court.
The cabinet officials did not meet in secret at night to discuss countermeasures, but after discussing and discussing, it was the first time they found that they were so depressed facing Chongzhen.
When Chongzhen came back from the Northern Expedition, he seemed to be a different person. He no longer acted indecisively as before, but became more and more like the Taizu.
The courtiers found that there were only two options before them, either remonstrance and protest, or surrender and acceptance, and the consequences of remonstrance were very simple, dismissal or resignation.
Chongzhen didn't even bother to serve them with the court staff. The officials knew that no matter whether they were dismissed or resigned, the result would be the same. Chongzhen must be polite and would not mention it.
On the third day of the morning court, Chongzhen brought up the matter of land measurement as soon as he came to court, and all the officials were silent.
Chongzhen didn't push too much, he made it clear that as long as the ministers agree to this matter, no matter how much land is found in the family of the ministers, they will forget the past.
It's not that Chongzhen was worried about the protests of the courtiers. Protests are invalid, and the established policies must be implemented. He just wanted to relieve the worries of the courtiers and give them a step down by the way.
There was silence in the Huangji Hall for a while, Fang Yuegong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, threw off the second assistant Fan Jingwen with his sleeves and pulled him out of the class.
"Your Majesty, I am too old and frail to bear the heavy responsibility. I have been thinking for a long time and want to beg for the bones to return home. I hope Your Majesty will allow you." Fang Yuegong seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, and immediately knelt down and asked to play.
"Fang Aiqing never gave up on the country's hardships, and continued to serve the court with an old body. Fang Aiqing is sixty-eight years old this year. At this age, she is at home to take care of her life and enjoy family happiness. This is my fault!
I will play!Wang Erxi drafted an edict, Fang Yuegong bestowed the title of Taifu, and informed the village to comfort the world. After all, Fang Yuegong followed him through the most difficult days, Chongzhen was also unambiguous, and immediately bestowed a grand tutor.
Taifu is one of the three princes. Although he has no power, it is a great honor for officials.
"Chen Fang Yuegong, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Fang Yuegong was speechless, respectfully bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to Chongzhen for the last time, and then left the hall.
Fang Yuegong didn't care about the fields at home, he was just dissatisfied with Chongzhen's declaration that he skipped the cabinet, he wanted to defend the ancestral system but in the end he found that everything was in vain.
Having been an official for more than 40 years, now he can finally take a good rest. Fang Yue paid tribute to the main hall, as if letting go of the stone in his heart.
After Fang Yuegong left, none of the officials dared to speak out against Chongzhen, and finally the national policy of re-measurement of land was established.
The Chongzhen decree was presided over by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei jointly supervised. Starting from Shuntianfu, the land surveying work officially started.
Although what happened in the imperial court was passed to Liu Hongjian's ears through Jin Yiwei Tong Zhi Liang Yang, Liu Hongjian didn't pay much attention to it. As long as the established direction does not deviate, necessary sacrifices will still be necessary.
Fang Yuegong was also considered a capable minister, but he became the first victim.
Recently, he has been traveling to the Ordnance Institute and the County King's Mansion. With the strong support of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, the steel workshop and cement workshop of Zhending Mansion achieved mass production in just one month.
The first batch of cement was urgently transferred to the mouth of the Yellow River in Henan. As the first batch of finished ordnance, a few days ago, Baishi cement and a batch of steel were also sent.
The reason why Liu Hongjian didn't even have time to go to the morning court these days, and he dragged Song Yingxing's cat out of the ordnance station, was because he was doing an epoch-making event.
Of course, only he thinks so.
"Mr. Song, how is the design of the architectural drawings?" Liu Hongjian lay on the grand master's chair and shook.
Song Yingxing took the reading glasses newly developed by the glass workshop, lying on the table and holding a ruler to draw carefully.
Although Liu Hongjian is known as the leader of the nine-year compulsory education, and has a vision that has surpassed the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, he is still blind to the construction of reinforced concrete houses.
It's not easy to be a contractor.
"It's almost ready, my lord rests first, let the old man do the calculation again." Song Yingxing didn't turn his head, the old man was very busy these few days.
He has discovered that as long as the adults come up with some fantastic ideas, he is the busiest one. On the other hand, his own adults have been squinting for several times while lying on their reclining chairs.
"My lord, although this blueprint is calculated according to the existing building proportions of the Ming Dynasty, the beams are the most important thing in the buildings of the Ming Dynasty. It is barely enough to use the best pines and cypresses as beams, but the concrete can really bear it." ?"
Song Yingxing checked the drawing again and handed it to Liu Hongjian, frowning.
It's no wonder that Song Yingxing was puzzled. Although the Ming Dynasty already had blue bricks, most of the houses, including the inner halls of the palace, were still built with wooden structures.
There are three main reasons for this. The first is the problem of cost. There is no machine in the Ming Dynasty to make green bricks, and they are all handmade by craftsmen.
From clay selection to making, drying, and firing, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the error is also a big problem. Moreover, the brick-fired technology is immature at this time, and only poor-quality blue bricks can be fired.
Even so, the price of a piece of blue brick is several pennies, not to mention ordinary people, even the imperial court can't afford it.
The second is that the bonding material is not good. Although lime has been widely used, the bonding degree is still poor. It will crack and leak after a few years under the sun and rain.
The third is the issue of customs. The wooden structure is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, simple, elegant and warm. On the other hand, brick houses are ugly because they are not covered with good paint, and they look cold.
Who would like it when it's expensive and ugly?
Song Yingxing was not happy when he heard that Liu Hongjian was going to develop a brick house. The Ordnance Institute is currently developing too many projects at the same time, and the blue brick house is not a rare thing, so he has no time to talk about it.
But Liu Hongjian refused, and his reason was very good, because what he wanted to build was a building, a building made of bricks.
There are few blue-brick houses in the first place, and even rarer ones are built. The reason is the load-bearing problem of the beams.
Liu Hongjian's solution was concrete. As for the blue bricks?The blue bricks are really ugly, and their toughness is not good.
He never thought of using blue bricks at all, just kidding, he came with black technology, he couldn't even make red bricks, and he even played a woolen time travel.
Before he came here, he studied and understood that the production process of blue bricks and red bricks is not much different, it is just that the structure of the brick kiln is different, one is water-cooled and the other is air-cooled.
The clay used for firing bricks contains iron, and the air-cooled red bricks make it completely oxidized to form ferric oxide, which turns red, while the water-cooled blue bricks make the iron in the clay incompletely oxidized, so it turns blue.
The structure of the two brick kilns is also very different. The fully oxidized red bricks are not only beautiful but also tougher than the blue bricks.
It’s just that no one pierced this layer of window paper, and coupled with the lack of theoretical knowledge, red bricks were not developed and promoted until the Republic of China, which can be regarded as China’s loss.
The red brick kiln drawings that Liu Hongjian gave to Song Yingxing have been improved after hundreds of years of summarization. Not only can the number of bricks fired at one time be twice as much as that of the original brick kiln, but the quality has also improved a lot.
Liu Hongjian still remembered Song Yingxing's astonished expression when he handed over the design drawings of the red brick kiln to Song Yingxing.
With the red bricks, the rest is the load-bearing problem of the floor. Song Yingxing seems to be a difficult problem, but it is not a problem for Liu Hongjian.
"Concrete is used for load-bearing, but one more thing needs to be added to the concrete." Liu Hongjian is very sure that concrete without steel bars has no soul.
The first reinforced concrete red brick building was designed as a three-story building, and it was located in a large open space in the middle of the armory.
Liu Hongjian's idea was that the first floor would be used for hospitality, the second floor would be the offices of the ordnance directors, and the third floor would be Liu Hongjian's command center and residence.
Originally, according to Liu Hongjian's intention, it should be built with at least five floors. After all, can a three-story building be called a building?Compared with the [-] or [-] storey houses of the later generations, it is just short and tight.
Regarding this proposal, Song Yingxing didn't agree with anything, he didn't want to make fun of the lives of the craftsmen.
After all, it was the first time to build such a high building with bricks. Although Liu Hongjian was confident on the surface, he did not insist on it. In fact, he was also beating drums in his heart.
What if it collapses in half?
After the architectural drawings, red brick kiln, and reinforced concrete were all discussed, Liu Hongjian immediately ordered that the construction team of the Ordnance Institute stop working on the construction of wooden houses and devote all their efforts to the construction of red brick concrete houses.
When leaving the armory, Liu Hongjian took with him the first batch of ten pairs of reading glasses just developed by the glass workshop, as well as a large bundle of binoculars.
In fact, this thing already exists in Europe, but Daming... well, it is still a matter of theoretical foundation in the final analysis.
Thinking of this, Liu Hongjian felt worried. It wasn't that the Chinese people were not smart enough or hardworking enough. The thousand-year-old craft inheritance had all been led astray by the domineering Confucianism.
Confucianism divides people into grades, grades, grades, and grades. Everything is inferior, but reading is high. What books do you read?
It's not mathematics, it's not physical chemistry, but it's about the four books and five classics. From top to bottom in China, craftsmen are ashamed, with no status and no income.
Even so, craftsmen still rely on the inheritance from generation to generation to pass on their poor skills to the present. Scholars look down on craftsmen, and never think that what they wear, what they use, and what they live in is made by someone.
It's really not too much to pick up the bowl to eat, leave the job bowl to scold your mother, not touch the spring water with your hands, and know nothing but care. It's not too much to be a scholar who is useless.
Huaxia's skills are only passed on from master to apprentice by word of mouth. Most of the time, people still know what it is and don't know why. If it is the kind of one-generation handed down, it will become a unique skill once someone except for accidents hangs up.
Many contributions to chemistry were actually made by experienced alchemists, and they were not for the study of chemistry, and alchemy was just to meet the needs of the ruling class and the rich.
What an irony.
Alas, when the urgent matters at hand are over, we must set up an engineering college. Huaxia's skills cannot stop.
Liu Hongjian was riding on the horse, followed by two big men, Liu Hu was holding a bundle of binoculars, and Liu Bao was holding a large box of reading glasses, which Liu Hongjian wanted to send to the palace.
Although these gadgets were worthless, they were extremely useful. Most of the senior officials in the imperial court had presbyopia. According to Liu Hongjian's speculation, Uncle Chongzhen probably had presbyopia as well.
This guy has worked so hard for Daming, his eyesight is already bad.
The promotion of new things starts from top to bottom, and the courtiers are the best salesmen. As long as the publicity spreads, the Ordnance Institute can earn more money.
"Master, we have a guest at home, they are looking for you, they are from Fujian." As soon as they entered the courtyard, a servant came to report.
Fu Jina came, who else could there be?Xiao Zheng is still in Nanjing, probably Old Zheng, Liu Hongjian thought to himself.
Hmph, can't hold it anymore?
When we arrived at the central hall, the visitor was indeed a member of the Zheng family, and he was an acquaintance. He was Zhang Jin, the staff member sent by the Zheng family for the first time.
This guy not only came by himself, but also escorted Xu Yunzhen's family to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. The reason why Old Zheng is so honest is because of the letter Liu Hongjian wrote when he was in Nanjing.
As soon as Lao Zheng received the letter, he became furious. After weighing it, he immediately decided to return Xu Jiaxu's gift, and sent all his people and belongings to the capital by water.
Xu Yunzhen tossed around, but still didn't escape, just received the report from the Ministry of Criminal Justice yesterday, Chongzhen didn't even hesitate to kill Xu Yunzhen in the prison.
For the Zheng family, Xu Yunzhen was just a incidental matter, and making friends with the king of Anguo County was the most important thing. Zhang Jin couldn't help frowning recalling the dignified expression of the Patriarch.
It was all because of that letter that made the head of the family so afraid, Zheng Zhilong burned the letter after reading it, so Zhang Jin didn't know it even though he was surprised.
And because of this letter, the head of the family promised such a great gift to the Prince of Anguo, which made him even more puzzled.
In fact, the letter was very simple, only a few words.
Hand over the Xu family, if you don't accept it, Lianhe will destroy Zheng!
It's no wonder that Zheng Zhilong is so cautious, Lianhe destroys Zheng, how can he not know which Zheng Zhilong He is, but what he doesn't understand is how the King of Anguo understands the situation in Nanyang so well.
He, Zheng Zhilong, has been in Nanyang for more than [-] years. It is thanks to the ministers in the Ming court who do not understand maritime affairs and the situation in Nanyang that he has been able to get along smoothly until now. The court needs him and has nothing to do with him.
However, the few words from Prince Anguo explained the embarrassment of the Zheng family.
The biggest enemy of the Zheng family in Nanyang was the Dutch colonists. The reason why the two were able to contend so far was also because the Zheng family set up their nest in Fujian, so that they could enjoy the shade with Daming as their back.
If the imperial court really united with the Netherlands to destroy his Zheng family, Fujian would definitely not be able to stay any longer. If they lost Daming, the largest supply area, and went to sea to have a hard anal relationship with the Netherlands?
Who will win and who will lose?
After all, he is home, and the Netherlands is the country.
The most important thing is that King Anguo did not scare people. He has the ability to persuade the court to deal with his Zheng family. After all, he also knows that Chongzhen has long disliked him.
"Zhang pays his respects to the lord. It's been a long time since the lord's family has become more and more prosperous." Seeing Liu Hongjian approaching, Zhang Jin quickly stood up and saluted.
It has only been less than a year, and it is unprecedented to be promoted from a marquis to a county king. Coupled with the exhortation of the Patriarch, Zhang Jin couldn't help but be careless.
PS: I wanted to write another chapter at first, but I feel dizzy after two days of extra work. I won’t update it today. I owe three updates. The leader of the two updates is big, and the recommendation ticket for the first update will not be reckless. Let me take it easy. .
Thank you for the 2333 coins rewarded by the nickname Why Can’t Be Repeated, and the 500 coins rewarded by book friends Mengsk, DeAndreski, and Gu Daoqing, thank you all.

Thank you for the 2333 coins rewarded by the nickname Why Can’t Be Repeated, and the 500 coins rewarded by book friends Mengsk, DeAndreski, and Gu Daoqing, thank you all.
