Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 942: A Feast That Never Disperses in the World
Children are always like this, they may quarrel or even fight over a small matter, but they never hold grudges, and it didn't take long for the small private school to become lively again.

He saw Liu Aotian pretending to be thirteen in front of Zhang Erxiao and other ordinary children, he saw Zhu Heping making fun of his youngest daughter Ling Yu, and he saw Niu Ren and Niu Zhenzhang helping the other partners to wash the dishes.

Watching the children playing and playing, Liu Hongjian suddenly felt a little sad.

After leaving the Xishan private school, Liu Hongjian went to the Ordnance Office. In the past few years, the scale of the Xishan workshops has been expanded again and again, and almost half of the land in Shuntian Prefecture has been requisitioned, but the Ordnance Office is still the same as before.

From the day of its establishment, Ordnance was responsible for the research and development of high-tech, not production, but now the difficulty for craftsmen to enter the Ordnance Institute is even more difficult than that of Jinshi in the imperial examination.

After tasting the sweetness of advanced technology, the imperial court gave the Ordnance Institute a lot of preferential treatment. There is no intrigue here, but only the scientific research spirit of striving for the top. It has become a scientific research holy land hidden in a paradise.

Song Yingxing was still in good spirits. Seeing Liu Hongjian coming, he enthusiastically invited him to visit the improved version of the human generator in the Ordnance Institute.

The days slipped away quietly like this, and in a blink of an eye, it was June. On this day, Liu Hongjian was telling stories to the children in Xishan Private School. Someone from the palace said that Zhu Cihong had summoned him. Then went to the palace.

As soon as they arrived at Qianqing Palace, they saw many small yellow gates surrounding the palace. Three of these people were riding on a machine similar to bicycle pedals, waiting desperately for the pedals.

"It's on, hey! It's on!" Wang Erxi suddenly shouted from inside the palace.

When Liu Hongjian saw this, he knew what was going on without guessing. After the improvement of the human generator, the power generation efficiency was significantly improved. It took more than half a month for the light bulb to be developed, and Zhu Cihong couldn't wait to electrify the Qianqing Palace.

"Brother Liu, look! This electric lamp is really miraculous!" Zhu Cihong happily pointed to the standing desk lamp in the main hall.

"I've seen it a long time ago. The emperor called me here just to look at the lamp, right?" Liu Hongjian said angrily.

The human generator improved by the Ordnance Institute still requires the cooperation of three people. That is to say, if you want to keep the lamp in the Qing Palace always on, the generator outside must be constantly operated by someone.

It would have to be a psychopath in later generations to hire three laborers to pedal the pedals just to generate some electricity, but Daming has never been short of laborers, and Zhu Cihong obviously didn't care much.

With Daming's current level of industrial technology, it is not easy to tinker with such a thing. His house was powered on a week ago, and Liu Hongjian has long been accustomed to it.

"It's not all right, He Ping and his brothers and sisters have also attended classes in your private school for a while, are they not mischievous?" Zhu Cihong said while observing the desk lamp.

"Not naughty, quite honest." Liu Hongjian joked.

Being dishonest is not enough, Zhu Heping's small body is not Liu Aotian's opponent at all, not to mention that behind Liu Aotian is guarding Niu Dabangchui's Second General Hengha.

But this kid is very knowledgeable about current affairs, since he was "revenged with virtue" by Liu Aotian a few months ago, Zhu Heping listened to Liu Aotian's words very much, and always sat next to Liu's brothers and sisters in class, like a dog's leg.

"Oh, that's good. By the way, Brother Liu, the governor of Malacca, Qi Yuanbi, sent a memorial, saying that the Europeans refused to use the banknotes we issued for transactions. Please tell me if I want to call them. The people at the staff headquarters are pending. I want to ask. Your opinion." Zhu Cihong lost interest in the desk lamp, sat on the dragon chair and said.

Zhu Cihong can now be said to be full of ambitions, with a full treasury, rich people, and more than 100 million troops in his hands. He believes that he should attack decisively when he encounters dissatisfaction, until he is convinced.

In his opinion, this is Liu Hongjian's consistent style, so after receiving Qi Yuanbi's memorial, Zhu Cihong's restless heart began to itch to try.

"Your Majesty, although the Ming Dynasty is powerful, it is always the worst policy to solve problems through war. You have military power, political power and financial power, and you should consider the more than 100 million soldiers. Don't raise troops at will.

The Europa people refuse to use Ming currency, so why not do business with them? "Liu Hongjian said warmly.

The porcelain, tea and silk from Ming Dynasty will always be the hard currency leading to Europa. Coupled with the Nanyang Spice Islands controlled by Ming Dynasty, the Europa people can’t do without Daming. It won’t be long before the Europa people will surrender sooner or later if they don’t want war.

The reason why they refused to use the currency of the Ming Dynasty was probably just a test in Liu Hongjian's mind. The fact that the Ming Dynasty could wipe out the Rakshasa and the Netherlands so cleanly was enough for the Europeans to measure their own strength.

But Zhu Cihong's expression became serious after hearing Liu Hongjian's words.

"Brother Liu, what do you mean by this? You are the regent. If you don't stand up and correct me if I do something wrong, you are also responsible. What's more, the Imperial Bank Building has not yet been completed, and I have full power to issue banknotes and coins. Here you go."

Liu Hongjian looked at Zhu Cihong with a strange smile on his face, and Zhu Cihong's expression became more serious.

"I came here this time because I have something important to ask you. After thinking about it, it's time for me to step down as regent. Judging from the current circulation of the new version of currency in various parts of Ming Dynasty, the people's trust in banknotes and minted coins is constantly increasing. improve.

I have also told several vice-presidents of the Imperial Bank about the calculation standard of currency issuance. I think that as long as you don't make any foolish tricks, the new version of currency will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people within a few years.

Therefore, this financial right is also handed over to you. "Liu Hongjian said very seriously.

More than half a year ago, because of this incident, Liu Hongjian and Zhu Cihong fell out with all the officials. In order to keep Liu Hongjian, Zhu Cihong did not hesitate to replace all the courtiers.

At that time, Liu Hongjian did not choose to leave, firstly, because Liu Hongjian did not like to give in, and secondly, the matter of issuing currency had always made Liu Hongjian bitter, otherwise, even if the officials did not mention it, he would know that he should backed off.

Zhang Tianlu's fueling is shameless, but not all courtiers are out of selfish ideas. They hope to let Ming Dynasty return to orthodoxy and get back on the right track.

This is the Zhu family.

Although Zhu Cihong had changed his courtiers, and although these new officials no longer dared to impeach Liu Hongjian, Liu Hongjian knew that anyone with a country in their hearts was generally on the defensive against him.

His staying here made everyone feel uneasy, alas, this is what Liu Hongjian has been sad about for several months.

Seeing that Zhu Cihong was speechless, Liu Hongjian stood up and said:
"There is no banquet in the world that never ends, Cilang."

　Thanks to book friend Kelexiang Soymilk for the 500 taels of soymilk, and thanks to book friends who are drunk and looking at the axe, Xiaoxiao, and bored for the 100 taels of reward.
