The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 227 Mechanics

In the next period of time, Chen Jingke began to train the Japanese pirate prisoners.

The education for Matsushita Juntaro and others was relatively simple, and they were taught a brief history of China.

Then tell them about the advanced civilization of the Ming Dynasty, how the imperial examination changes destiny, and how the military merit system changes destiny.

What else is there about the land equalization system, where every farmer is divided into an acre?

Take them to travel to prosperous places and experience all kinds of wonderful things.

He also took them to visit the army to understand the power of the Ming Dynasty.

Let them envy the Ming Dynasty in terms of culture, system, and military.

Then draw them big cakes, and Daming dogs can get those benefits.

In addition to painting cakes, there are also some practical benefits.

Divide the land. Each of them was given a piece of land in the Ming Dynasty.

But this land doesn't completely belong to them yet, and they can only get it by making meritorious deeds.

They were also promised that they could bring their family members in Japan to Daming for naturalization.

Not long after, these Japanese pirates who had not yet naturalized as citizens of the Ming Dynasty began to consider themselves citizens of the Ming Dynasty.

He screamed that he wanted to go back to Japan and make contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Jingke was very satisfied with this effect.

At the same time, I sighed, the old and American method of cultivating people is really useful.

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Fan were busy taking notes.

This method of education is very good and classic. You must learn summary and use it in more places in the future.

It's not that simple for the thirteen down-and-out nobles.

Although they were down and out, as nobles, they still received a certain amount of education.

I have a certain affection for the country Japan.

It is not that easy to transform them.

Chen Jingke found them a teacher who specialized in teaching Zhu Neo-Confucianism and a brief history of China.

Some people are secretly resistant and learn badly.

Chen Jingke said nothing. After a while, he conducted an assessment and killed the three people with the worst grades.

The remaining people began to study hard.

Zhu Fan raised a question: "They have complaints. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to use them if they are released in the future."

Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "For people like them, loyalty is the least valuable thing, interests are."

"As long as Ming Dynasty remains strong and can gain benefits from following us, they will always succumb to us."

"What's more, they have no choice but to cooperate with us."

"Moreover, our purpose is to let them disrupt Japan. As long as this is done, it is enough."

"As for whether they are loyal or not, it doesn't really matter."

They are loyal and behave well enough to keep them alive.

Not loyal enough, just killed them together after using them.

Zhu Fan nodded, it was true, he thought too much.

A noble like this could sell his own monarch, so how could he be loyal to the Ming Dynasty?

There is no need to ask them what they are thinking, just watch what they do.

Now that he has said this, Chen Jingke decided to say a few more words:

"What we really want to educate are their descendants and ordinary people."

"Let their descendants receive Ming education from an early age, and they will become Ming people."

"As for ordinary people, they have no concept of family and country."

"They only care about who can keep them fed and clothed."

"As long as Ming Dynasty does it, they will be the people of Ming Dynasty."

"Furthermore, the Ming Dynasty's greatest advantage in educating the barbarians is its long history and profound cultural heritage."

"This advantage can ensure that when we are weak, it will be difficult for us to be educated by the enemy."

"When we have advantages, we can more conveniently enlighten others."

There are not too many similar examples in history.

A human lighthouse country, relying on the banner of freedom, educates young people in other countries in the public opinion line.

Then relying on these young people, many countries evolved.

But this move eventually hit a wall in front of China.

For decades, young people in China have indeed been confused, and many of them have been penny-pinching on the Internet.

But they soon woke up and more of them became wolf warriors.

Those people began to stigmatize the word 'wolf warrior' again.

However, China is still getting stronger day by day.

China's young scientists are emerging one after another, picking off the pearls in the colonists' mouths one by one.

More Chinese young people have regained their confidence.

Although the country still has many shortcomings, this is our country.

I can scold you as much as you want, but you, an outsider, just can’t do it.

This is the advantage brought by cultural heritage.

Even if we are at the bottom of the valley, we can still rely on our advantages to achieve revitalization.

And this unique advantage will always exist.

We stayed in the south for more than two months, and it was November.

Zhu Xiongying set out to return to Yingtian under Zhu Yuanzhang's repeated urging.

This time he enjoyed the true treatment of a monarch, and his ministers traveled ten miles to greet him.

The king is thirty miles away, and the prince is fifteen miles away.

For the sake of filial piety, one cannot surpass his father in etiquette, so the standard for welcoming him is set at ten miles.

This is not a fixed etiquette, but an unspoken rule formed in actual operations.

In the past, ministers would not consider these issues.

He's just a great-grandson. Your father hasn't even ascended the throne yet. What kind of etiquette do you want?

Just look passable.

It is precisely because of his trip that he made his own voice in the south, established his prestige and won people's hearts.

Only the ministers would be so solemn and formulate this set of etiquette specifications.

Lan Yu didn't have to go out to greet him in person, but in order to support his nephew and grandson, he still came with a group of subordinates.

When he saw the ministers being so respectful, he knew that his grandson had transformed into a dragon and there was no need to set up the stage himself.

I was extremely happy.

Prince, did you see it in the sky?

Your son has grown up and has become a king.

I guess your spirit in heaven is also very happy.

In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was anxiously walking around, urging people to inquire from time to time:

"Why hasn't my grandson arrived yet?"

Zhu Biao advised from the side: "Dad, he is an adult now, don't always treat him like a child."

"If you do this, he will become even more lawless."

Zhu Yuanzhang retorted: "Fart, our darling grandson is so well-behaved, how could he be lawless?"

"How can you be a son like this, we will not let us and the grandchildren all day."

Zhu Biao secretly regretted why he couldn't control his mouth.

I don’t know how many times this has happened. The old man will lose his mind when he sees his eldest grandson.

Teaching other people's children and grandchildren is all a matter of course.

A filial son can be brought out under the stick.

When it was his precious grandson's turn, he completely forgot about it. That was called doting.

It's a miracle that this child didn't grow crooked. Finally, Sun Fu ran over panting: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty... your grandson has entered the imperial city."

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and wanted to greet him.

As soon as he lifted his steps, he seemed to think of something, and then he took them back again.

Then the expression on his face changed, and he returned to the dragon chair in the hall and sat down.

Zhu Biao was speechless again. Well, the old man picked it up.

Zhu Xiongying walked in briskly: "Grandpa Huang, father, I'm back."

"Humph." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said:

"As a great grandson, how do you look like you are jumping for joy when you walk? Stand up straight."

Zhu Xiongying rolled his eyes, ran to him in a hurry, and slapped him on the shoulder:

"Grandpa Huang, you don't know that I think about you every day outside and don't even think about food or tea."

"Do you feel comfortable with this strength?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded subconsciously, then reacted immediately and continued to say with a face:

"Are you thinking about us? Hehe... even a ghost would not believe this."

Zhu Xiongying said: "Really, if you don't believe me, call Third Uncle and Jing Ke over..."

"Jing Ke said, in my dreams I always call you Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Yuanzhang also took advantage of the situation and said, "Really? You two should wear the same pair of trousers. You are not working together to deceive us."

Zhu Xiongying shouted: "Grandpa Huang, you hurt my heart too much..."

"Jing Ke is the only one who would lie to you. How could I join in with him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped pretending and slapped him gently:

"Don't talk nonsense. I think you are the only one with many clever ideas. You can try different tricks to make me happy."

Zhu Xiongying hit the snake and then took the stick and said: "I want to make my grandfather happy. Isn't that a natural thing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed very much and said: "What a filial child, much more filial than your incompetent father."

Zhu Biao wanted to complain a few words, but his cultivation really prevented him from doing such frivolous actions, so he could only say:

"Dad, third brother and Jing Ke are still outside."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have just remembered them and called them in.

After a brief chat, Chen Jingke was allowed to go home.

Today is not the time to talk about work. Let’s go home and get together first. It’s not too late to talk about it another day.

Mainly because Lao Zhu knew what they were doing outside, so there was no need to worry about it for a while.

Chen Jingke has not been home for more than half a year, and Chen Jingke really misses his family.

In the past, I only missed my parents, but now I have one more.

After returning home, it is natural to have some inquiries.

Fuqing, in particular, was moved to tears.

In the evening, it is a program that everyone loves to watch, but cannot write about.

In short, everyone knows that a little separation is better than a newlywed.

Chen Jingke did not go to the palace the next day, but stayed at home with his parents and wife.

Nothing happened at home, and with so many people protecting her overtly and covertly, nothing could happen.

It is worth mentioning that the first part of The Legend of the Prince Consort compiled by Fuqing has finally been completed.

Chen Jingke briefly flipped through it, and it was indeed quite exciting.

But how can I put it, it is too centered on the protagonist, as if the earth cannot rotate without the protagonist.

This is seriously inconsistent with reality, but it fits the plot of the novel.

This is what readers like to see.

Fuqing also gave himself a pen name, Jingqing Jushi.

You can tell what's going on at the first sight of this name.

Chen Jingke was naturally very moved by his wife's thoughts.

The Pirates of Malacca has also begun writing.

However, due to imagination, even with the main line and detailed outline provided by Chen Jingke, it was difficult to write.

But the quality of the writing is really good.

It seems that my daughter-in-law is not only knowledgeable in politics, but also has a certain foundation in literature.

It’s just that it hasn’t developed in this direction before.

She must be well trained in this area in the future, so that she can rely on her own abilities to leave a mark in history.

Rather than being remembered in history books as Zhu Yuanzhang's daughter or Chen Jingke's wife.

On the third day, Chen Jingke still did not enter the palace, but stayed at home and made a gadget.

When he saw the function of this gadget, Fu Qing was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth for a long time.

On the fourth day, Chen Jingke finally entered the palace and met Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying were also present.

From his perspective, Chen Jingke talked about this experience, and explained the reason for this.

His focus was not on military and national affairs. Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Fan must have already talked about this, so there is no need to repeat it.

He mainly talked about the other two aspects, productive forces and hygienic epidemic prevention.

"minister……"

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him: "There are no outsiders here, and the ministers."

"What's going on? You've been away for half a year and you're unfamiliar with us when you come back?"

Chen Jingke felt warm in his heart. Whether Lao Zhu was sincere or pretending, he was very moved.

"Well, it's my fault... I've been saying productivity changes the world."

"His Majesty has also seen the effects of several improved technologies I introduced half a year ago."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, and then said angrily:

"Your kid, why don't you say such a good idea?"

Chen Jingke said: "I didn't know many things from the beginning, but I inferred them based on the knowledge I learned."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you say that the emergence of technology is uncontrollable and full of chance? How do you reason?"

Chen Jingke explained: "What I am saying is that the development of productivity in the past was mostly by chance."

"But everything has its own laws. We will find out the laws clearly and form systematic knowledge."

"Then you can use the knowledge of the system to reason...and proactively discover new technologies..."

"It's like shuttle, it is the tool for threading ..."

"The faster the thread is threaded, the faster the weaving speed..."

"Follow this idea, how can I make the shuttle faster?"

"So, I thought of the new shuttle..."

"Pulleys and bearings involve slightly more knowledge, but they only scratch the surface of mechanics."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened and he said, "Wait a minute, what did you just say? Mechanics? Fur?"

"Things as exquisite as pulleys and bearings are just scratching the surface of mechanics?"

"So what does this one with more advanced mechanics look like? Can it also make people fly?"

Chen Jingke didn't say anything more and took out the gadget he made.

A glass cup with a lid. Strangely, there is a small wheel on the lid.

There are also some weird little gadgets that connect the wheels and lid together.

The three people in the room looked over. What can this gadget do?

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What is this? Why does it look like a teacup?"

In fact, what he wants to say is, are you going to use this thing to let us experience advanced mechanics?

However, because Chen Jingke has always been magical, he did not express this doubt.

Chen Jingke still did not explain, but made people take a pot of hot boiling water, and then let all waiters leave.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather and grandson, he opened the lid and reached half a glass of water, then carefully closed the lid.

And gently turned the wheel with your hands.

Then... the wheel started spinning at high speed on its own.
