The sniper starts from the bright sword escape period

Chapter 428
Facing Zhu Biao's fourth invitation, Bai Lixiu naturally did not refuse, so he followed to the military battle bureau and saw Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao immediately bowed to Bai Lixiu, saying:
"Please tell me, sir, that Biao and all the craftsmen really don't understand how to make waterproof firecrackers!"

When Bai Lixiu heard Zhu Biao's words, there was a difference. You must know that it took a whole night to figure out the machine for processing rifling, but this time it has been more than half a month and still haven't figured out the primer. .

But when Zhu Biao saw that Bailixiu didn't make a sound, he thought it was Bailixiu who wanted to raise conditions, but it was difficult to speak, so Zhu Biao immediately continued:

"Sir, you mentioned the Mohism to Biao before, so you must be the descendant of the Mohism! If you are willing to teach the method of making rainproof firecrackers, Biao is willing to replace it with the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry! And he is also willing to help you promote the Mohism in Daming! Of course, there are some parts of the Mohist theory, and I hope you can change it!"

After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Bai Lixiu really felt the difference in her heart. She only mentioned the Mo family for a while, but it made Zhu Biao think so much. You must know that it is 18 years since Hongwu, and the Ming Dynasty has no prime minister. Well, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, as one of the six departments in charge, his status is only below that of the emperor!Although the grade of Shangshu is only the second grade, but the status is not low.

After the Hu Weiyong case in the 13th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered "abolish the prime minister and divide the government into six parts".In order to strengthen the imperial power, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the long-standing three-province system.Thereby fully realizing the stable position of absolute monarchy.The administrators of the imperial court were directly responsible to the emperor, and there were no second-hand dealers like the prime minister.


The six ministries were directly responsible to the emperor and became the highest institution in charge of Ming affairs.Each ministry has a minister, who is in charge of the affairs of the department, and has a left and right servant, who is the deputy of the minister.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, six specific duties were determined, and performance appraisal was carried out at the end of the year to distinguish their pros and cons, so as to depose them.Officials of the six ministries are relatively stable and cannot be transferred easily. Those who have meritorious service will be promoted in the headquarters.Since the 13th year of Hongwu's dismissal of Zhongshu Province, that is, the prime minister, he has been promoted to six ranks: Shangshu is the second rank, the servant is the third rank, the doctor is the fifth rank, the Yuanwai Lang is the fifth rank, and the master is the sixth rank.

The six ministers and ministers are all hall officials, directly led by the emperor, among which the Ministry of Officials is particularly important, because the removal of officials must go through the Ministry of Officials.In the sixth year of Hongwu, there were three subordinate departments of the official department, namely the headquarters, the department of honor, and the department of merit examination; in the 13th year, the department was added.

In 22 years, the headquarters was changed to an elective department. In the 29th year, the four official departments of Wenxuan, Yanfeng, Jixun and Kaogong were changed.Each division has one doctor, one member, and one chief.Among them, the official department is the most important, and the household department has the most personnel.

Ministry of Officials: Known as the Heavenly Official, it is in charge of the appointment, removal, assessment, promotion, and transfer of civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. .

Household Department: Known as the land official, it is in charge of the land, household registration, currency, taxation, salary, and finance of Daming.

Ministry of Rites: Known as Chunguan, it is in charge of the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations, sacrifices, schools, and imperial examinations.

Ministry of War: Known as Xia Guan, it is in charge of the selection of military officers of the Ming Dynasty, military registration, ordnance, military orders, and post stations.

Ministry of Punishments: Known as Qiu Guan, in charge of Ming laws, punishments and prisons.

Ministry of Industry: Known as the Winter Official, it is in charge of various projects, water conservancy, craftsmen, road construction, urban construction, etc.

Compared with the administrators of the other six departments, it is obvious that the Ministry of Industry is a very suitable place for the Mohists. After all, whether it is road construction, city construction, or water conservancy and other things, craftsmen are inseparable!
The scope or object of Mohism's theory is all about craftsmen.

Although Zhu Biao's words moved Bai Lixiu's heart, after all, as an advocate of Mohism, he naturally hoped that Mohism would see the light again in Ming Dynasty and become a theory on par with Confucianism in the pre-Qin era.

But although Zhu Biao is said to be the second emperor now, he is not Zhu Yuanzhang after all!
And now that Confucianism has dominated China for more than 1000 years, it is natural that they do not want to return to the pre-Qin state of fighting against Mohism.

What's more, those administrators who were officials in Ming Dynasty were not Confucian students who read sage books, so they would definitely be hindered by layers of obstacles if they wanted to promote Mohism.

Fortunately, it is still the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he can use his prestige to shock those civil servants who read sage books.

So the key now is that Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree with Zhu Biao to do this, or this is just Zhu Biao's willful behavior!
Thinking of this, Bai Lixiu immediately thought of Zhu Biao and said:

"That's right! I am a Mohist student, so I am very moved by His Highness's words, but does His Majesty agree to this matter? Or is it just His Highness the Crown Prince's personal intention?"

Bai Lixiu also admits that she is a member of the Mohist school. After all, the physics, chemistry, mathematics and other knowledge that Bailixiu has learned in modern times can also be compared with the Mohist school.

After Zhu Biao heard Bailixiu's words, he laughed and said:

"You don't have to worry about this, sir. Of course, you have discussed it with your father! Your father also agreed with what you mean."

Bai Lixiu was relieved when he heard Zhu Biao's words, and he was not surprised that Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to promote Mohism. After all, as an emperor, how could he tolerate Confucianism monopolizing the court!
Therefore, I naturally want to have another theory to check and balance. Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a beggar. Although he can read, he doesn't really believe in Confucianism.

However, it is not so easy to create a school of thought to counter the Confucian school. Although there are Taoism and Buddhism, one seeks immortality and the other becomes a Buddha, which is not suitable for the struggle above the court.

And the theory of Mohism, which was able to confront Confucianism more than 1000 years ago, is naturally enough.

So when Zhu Biao told Zhu Yuanzhang about his thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally agreed immediately, but he had a request, that is, to let Bailixiu make a waterproof firecracker.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang also had to see if Bailixiu had the real material. Wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous to make a fake Mohist heir.

What's more, if Bailixiu makes a waterproof firecracker, then besides Zhu Yuanzhang, there will be more people in the court who support Bailixiu's establishment of the Mohist theory.

That's right, this one is naturally the noble military generals of Daming. If they have this kind of waterproof firecrackers, then the generals will naturally be able to defeat Bei Yuan in a more realistic way and win the battle.

And winning the battle means that you have made meritorious deeds and can be knighted.

Therefore, as long as the generals are not stupid, they will definitely actively support the promotion of Bailixiu's Mohism.

So this waterproof firecracker is actually a stepping stone for Bailixiu, a stepping stone for stepping into the court.

So Bai Lixiu immediately nodded and said in order to make herself more interesting in this sword rain world of martial arts:
"Since this is the case, I am relieved, so let's make this waterproof firecracker now, Your Highness!"

After saying that, Bai Lixiu immediately rolled up her sleeves and came to the blacksmith shop, next to the stove for blacksmithing.
