Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 344 Song Yingxing Arrives

Zhu Youjian just wanted to feel the feel of the silk, but he touched something hard.

When I took it out, it turned out to be a beautiful piece of jade.

When he saw the appearance of the jade clearly, Zhu Youjian immediately said shit.

It is exactly the same as the legendary jade seal.

It has a radius of four inches, with five dragons intersected in Shanghai, and the front is engraved with eight seal characters of "Ordered by the sky, long life and eternal prosperity", as a token of "imperial power granted by heaven, orthodox and legal".

Zhu Youjian suddenly burst into ecstasy:
"Hahaha, it's really easy to find nowhere to find it. Old Wang, don't look for it, Yuxi is here."

This is indeed the jade seal obtained by Huang Taiji. When Dorgon Dayuer fled with Fulin in a hurry, Da Yuer took the jade seal and some close-fitting clothes with her. She didn't let anyone know, even Dorgon. Not sure.

After these people escaped from the tunnel, they were caught by Huang Degong. Huang Degong, a big bastard, didn't pay attention, and threw the cloth bag into the pile of gold, silver and jewelry when he returned.

Although the soldiers are very jealous of so much gold and silver, but now the Ming army has strict military regulations, and no one dares to touch these gold, silver and jewelry. As a result, the world's largest treasure is drowned in the pile of gold and silver.

If Zhu Youjian hadn't remembered his internal money, if it hadn't been reminded by the system, he really doesn't know when Yuxi will come out.

Hearing that Yuxi had been found by the emperor, Lao Wang ran to Zhu Youjian's side quickly.

Excited, he forgot his identity, reached out and took Yuxi to watch it carefully.

"That's right, this is the jade seal. It is exactly the same as in the legend. Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the Chuan Guo Yuxi has finally been obtained by Daming..."

Lao Wang fell to his knees with a plop, raised the jade seal high above his head and handed it to Zhu Youjian again.

Those Dongchang fans also knelt on the ground together, shouting long live my emperor.

Regarding Lao Wang's recklessness, Zhu Youjian didn't feel any discomfort, knowing that he was excited for a while, and it was also because he had Daming in his heart.

"Haha... Hurry up and get flattened, and everyone will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver."

Zhu Youjian let everyone live in peace, and each rewarded 500 taels of silver, which made those fans very happy.

500 taels of silver is nothing to Zhu Youjian, but to those fans, it is definitely a fortune, and they can find a wife to live a good life.

The emperor spoke eloquently, saying that the reward would definitely be rewarded. After they thanked the emperor, they withdrew the money after receiving the reward.

But Wang Chengen didn't move, Zhu Youjian patted Old Wang on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Old Wang, go and get it yourself, you can choose gold and jewelry as you like."

The old king bowed and saluted:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En. The slaves have no family or descendants. It is useless to ask for too much money."

Seeing that Lao Wang didn't want a reward, Zhu Youjian didn't force him, but Zhu Youjian wouldn't let this loyal old eunuch suffer.

"Old Wang, I know you are loyal, and you will live in the palace until you die. I will support you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En, how can a slave servant be so kind to His Majesty..."

Lao Wang was excited at first, but now he is moved again, and he couldn't help crying.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

As the weather gets colder, the briquettes produced by the Xishan Coal Field are continuously entering the capital and nearby areas.

Ordinary people with poor families are provided with coal stoves and briquettes free of charge.

Those rich families and wealthy officials all need to buy briquettes, and the price of briquettes is almost half cheaper than charcoal.

Even so, because of the huge demand, after one winter, it will definitely add a lot of income to the national treasury.

three days later

Yu Huatian brought Song Yingxing to Qianqing Palace and asked Song Yingxing to wait outside the door, while Yuhuatian went to see Zhu Youjian first.

At this time, Zhu Youjian was planning another reform, when a young eunuch suddenly came to report:

"Your Majesty, Yu Huatian, Governor of the West Plant, seeks an audience."

"call"

Hearing that Yuhuatian asked for an interview, Zhu Youjian immediately let him in.

Yuhuatian entered the room and bowed to salute:
"Slave Yu Huatian, see Your Majesty."

Looking at Yuhuatian's face full of travel and dust, Zhu Youjian asked:

"Has anyone been found?"

Yuhuatian hastily clapped his hands and replied:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Song Yingxing is already waiting outside.

"Quick, let him come to see me."

"According to the purpose"

Yu Huatian immediately left the room to pass on Song Yingxing's meeting.

This Song Yingxing is not an ordinary person, so I have to introduce it.

Song Yingxing (1587-1666), courtesy name Changgeng, was born in Fengxin County, Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province (now Fengxin County, Jiangxi Province), and was a famous scientist in the Ming Dynasty.

Song Yingxing devoted his life to the scientific investigation and research of agriculture and handicraft production, and collected a wealth of scientific data.

At the same time, his ideological advanced consciousness made him a thinker with a critical attitude towards feudalism and medieval academic tradition.

Song Yingxing's works and research fields involve different disciplines of natural science and humanities.

Among them, the most outstanding work "Tiangong Kaiwu" is known as "the encyclopedia of Chinese crafts in the 17th century".

Song Yingxing once served as the prefect of Guangzhou during the Chongzhen period, but he resigned and returned to his hometown when he saw no hope.

The main contribution of Song Yingxing is that he made a summary of the knowledge of agricultural production and handicraft production that has appeared in China for thousands of years.

At the same time, it also made a summary of the technical experience, and made them systematic and organized, and then wrote it into a book so that it can be handed down.

Song Yingxing's books include agriculture and handicrafts, such as machinery, bricks, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, gunpowder, textiles, dyeing, salt making, coal mining, oil extraction and other production technologies.

In terms of agriculture, Song Yingxing made detailed records of the whole production process of rice, such as soaking seeds, breeding, beating seedlings, and weeding grass.

He also pointed out various issues worth noting in rice cultivation.

In terms of handicraft industry, Song Yingxing tried to use quantitative methods. When describing the production process, he paid special attention to the quantitative relationship in raw material consumption and finished product recovery rate.

In particular, the "Machinery" chapter describes in detail agricultural machinery and tools including vertical-axis windmills, sugar carts, and cattle-rotating rope wheels to extract brine, which has extremely high scientific value.

Song Yingxing was the first scientist in the world to scientifically discuss zinc and copper-zinc alloy (brass).

He clearly stated that zinc was a new metal and described for the first time how to smelt it.This is one of the important achievements in the history of metal smelting in ancient my country.

For a long time, China has become the only country in the world that can smelt zinc on a large scale.

Song Yingxing recorded the method of refining brass with metal zinc instead of zinc compound (calamine).

It is the earliest record of brass obtained by direct melting of two metals, copper and zinc, in human history.

Don't say that there was no steel at the end of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the end of the Ming Dynasty already had the most advanced steel smelting process in the world in the [-]th century.

That is the iron smelting process in the late Ming Dynasty.The steel output and quality of this process are the highest in the world in this era, at least 60 years ahead of the world.

It is a pity that many of his painstakingly leading works that have been leading the world for many years have been burned by the captives of the East, which is really unacceptable.

After seeing Zhu Youjian, Song Yingxing immediately clasped his fists and saluted:
"Grassman Song Yingxing, see Your Majesty!"
