Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 648 The danger of being assimilated must be vigilant
In fact, strictly speaking, although "Tiangong Kaiwu" written by Song Yingxing is of great significance, this work is more like a compilation of some technologies and manufacturing industries in the past dynasties, rather than the kind of pioneering and forward-looking technology masterpiece.

Compared with the powerful creativity shown in the Western industrial revolution a hundred years later, the Chinese civilization has come to the present, because of the restrictions and constraints under various complex conditions, innovation is seriously insufficient, or even missing.

The introduction of high-tech talents from Europe to Daming will cause a fierce collision between the high-end civilizations of the East and the West, and may give birth to peerless talents in Daming.

The wisdom of the descendants of Yan and Huang is beyond doubt.

Until the first industrial revolution in the West, China was far ahead of the world in many aspects, but under the suppression of Confucian culture, which emphasized too much on following the rules, many creativity was lost in the long river of history.

Take the production of firearms as an example. Even in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the Chinese army's firearms were not much behind the West in terms of quality and style.

During the Kangxi period, there was an unknown firearms genius in later generations——Dai Zi.

This Mr. Dai actually developed the lianzhu gun, which is the prototype of the machine gun of later generations. If the Qing masters were afraid that this epoch-making weapon would bring great harm to their rule, so they put Dai Zi's invention on the shelf, then this If the renju gun continues to be upgraded, the Anglo-French coalition war of aggression against China may become a target-shooting performance for the Chinese team.

Zhu Youjian believes that there will never be only one Dai Zi-style genius in Huanghuang China. As long as a window is opened for the Chinese people to see the beautiful scenery outside, some people will try their best to jump out of the window and blend into this beautiful scenery.

It has been more than three years since the mission led by Fang Yizhi and Zheng Zhifeng left Daming. Due to the extremely backward means of communication, they have not received any news about them. I hope that the Dutch mission returning to China will get in touch with them. , and provide assistance to missions when conditions permit.

This large-scale visit is the first official mission sent by the Chinese government to Europe in thousands of years, and it is also the first time that the splendid Chinese civilization has appeared in front of Western European countries that are far behind Ming Dynasty. I hope this time The exchanges between the East and the West will have a profound impact on the development of the world.

Although Zheng He led his fleet to the Western Seas seven times, they never reached Western European countries. This is directly related to the vision and limitations of contemporary people.

If Fang Yizhi and Zheng Zhifeng can return safely in the future, no matter how well their tasks are completed, Zhu Youjian will give them great rewards.

Not everyone has the courage to face the vast and boundless ocean, and not everyone knows that life and death are unpredictable, but they will go there willingly. This kind of courage deserves a big reward.

While the problem of food and clothing was gradually solved, Zhu Youjian planned to open schools in various places in Ming Dynasty. The school for the children of craftsmen was the beginning, and several schools would appear in the capital area soon.

After Jiadingbo's two Zhuangzi in the Gyeonggi area were confiscated, Zhu Youjian rewarded Tian Hongyu and Yuan Yerang respectively for the two Zhuangzi, as a reward for their respect and observance of etiquette.

And these two people are really knowledgeable and interesting. On the second day after being awarded Zhuangzi, they both brought a heavy gift to the palace to thank Shengen. Zhu Youjian did not accept the gift after a brief conversation with the two, but It is recommended that they open a school in Xinde Zhuangzi, hire teachers with corresponding money and grain, and let school-age children in Zhuangzi go to school for free.

Tian Hongyu and Yuan Yerang were very interested in Zhu Youjian's proposal, and they said on the spot that they would follow suit immediately after returning, and strive to complete the matter at the beginning of spring, so as to add luster to the Tian family's face.

The two did not break their promises. On the second day after leaving the palace, the two sent their stewards to visit the artisan children's school, and recorded everything they saw, including the school's model and utensils, Mr. monthly salary and meals, two free meals for each school child, etc.

After learning the details, Tian Hongyu and Yuan Yerang worked tirelessly to go to Shunyi and Liangxiang in person. After getting a general understanding of Zhuangzi, they found a workshop official from the local county government to survey the terrain, select Decide on the address, take out the money and hand it over to the steward of the mansion, and tell it to go on. After the auspicious date is checked, the craftsman Minzhuang will be hired to start building the school. , the name of the school can be named after Zhuangzi.

After learning about Tian Hongyu's and Yuan Yerang's resolute actions, Zhu Youjian also greatly appreciated it, and specially rewarded each of the two prefectures with a pair of jade Ruyi and a pair of white jade pendants to show that they can feel at ease The meaning of doing things.

The news quickly spread in the harem. Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan were overjoyed to hear that. While they were so decent to their fathers, they were also more at ease about the future of their natal family.

And after Zhou Hou knew that Zhuangzi of her natal family was treated by her husband in this way, she was very unhappy at first, and she also ignored Zhu Youjian's answer, and said it along with it. After Qi's respective actions were detailed one by one, he realized how unbearable his father and brother were compared with the other two families, and it was no wonder that her husband treated the Zhou family like this.

After Zhou Hou figured it out, she suddenly felt ashamed of her husband, so after working continuously for a long time, after discussing with Zhang Yan, Tian Concubine, and Yuan Concubine, they all made a unanimous decision, and each of them took out the corresponding money and food, and went to the four palaces in the capital. A school was chosen in the nursing home to allow the children in the nursing home to go to school.

Zhou Hou and other four people will respectively undertake a school, and will permanently bear the relevant expenses required by the school every year.

Among the four schools, a school for women is specially set up, and the husband will also be hired from retired literate court ladies.

After Zhu Youjian learned of this situation from Zhou Hou, he was amazed at the thoughtfulness and courage of several noble women.

Especially the establishment of a women's school, which was obviously negligent, made him feel deeply guilty.

I have been in this world for more than four years, and many of my thoughts and behaviors tend to be assimilated unconsciously, which is very dangerous.

If he finally fully integrates into this era, then transforming Daming will become empty talk, and all the efforts he has put in before will return to the original track in the future, which he will never tolerate.

If, like the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, they were timid in doing things and looking forward and backward, what's the point of such a time travel?

Everything must go according to his original idea. All those who stand in the way will be kicked down with one foot, and then step on ten thousand feet, so that he will never turn over.
