Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

The advent of new types of fast guns and grenades has once again left the surrounding military and even the world's military behind.

But everyone didn't like the name given by Lu Mou very much. In the end, everyone still called this rifle and grenade the Ming Dynasty Type 19.

With a stroke of his pen, Lu Mou immediately allocated funds to start the project. With sufficient funds, the manufacture of guns and cannons progressed rapidly. Soon after, the Third Army and the Fourth Army, which were responsible for guarding the capital and defending against the Qing Dynasty, abandoned their swords and shields and were all equipped with this nineteen-style quick grab, becoming The world's first pure firearms army.

The Fourth Army also became the first to abandon bulky armor and retain only large-rim steel helmets, becoming the world's first true light infantry.

After the weight of the armor was reduced, the soldiers could carry their own backpacks and seven days of rations, becoming an army that only needed one baggage company per regiment and no longer needed civilian men.

At the same time, other armies were also developing in this direction as the flintlocks were eliminated.

With the emergence of breech-loading percussion guns, breech-loading cannons also appeared. After the popularization of these three weapons, the Ming Dynasty's army got rid of the constraints of the weather and became an all-weather army that could use firearms to fight. The cavalry will no longer be invincible across the world.

When Chongzhen, who was standing behind the window, watched his San'er, taking the Dongchang eunuch and carrying the silver box, pulling his royal office out of the palace, he felt heartbroken and said: "This boy, he's so messy." I really don’t feel bad about our own things. No, I have to go back to the palace in two days to guard against this family thief.”

Zhou Hou persuaded her with a smile: "San'er stole our things not for the sake of our family's fortune. Your Majesty, please leave it alone. You can't control it. You'd better rest in Xihaizi and be out of sight and out of mind." "

Chongzhen and Zhou Hou were used to staying in this beautiful place and never wanted to go back to the magnificent Forbidden City prison.

With the support of the second concubine, he limped along the long embankment: "Queen, tell me, did that brat see that I was pretending to be sick, that's why he was so cruel."

Zhou Hou quickly defended her son: "Good medicine tastes bitter. In order to cure your disease, which is recognized as a terminal illness in the world, it is necessary to be more ruthless. Besides, the emperor is as leisurely as he is now, just looking after the children and watching them grow. Is it not good?"

As a result, Chongzhen's heart opened: "Yes, I am very relieved to see the children growing up rapidly. Xihaizi has lived here for a long time and is tired of it. Let's go to Xishan Villa tomorrow."

Funded by internal funds, on the basis of the original Prince of Xiangyang's palace in Jing, a plaque with the words "Da Ming Academy of Sciences" written by the prisoner was hung high, thus abolishing the Qintian Prison of the Ming Dynasty and merging the Qintian Prison in Academy of Sciences.

In the Academy of Sciences, the subdivided subjects include astronomy and geography, agriculture, industry, military industry, and civil science.

In order to cultivate talents and invest internal funds, a college was opened next to the Academy of Sciences in the Jinan Palace in Beijing. Lu Mou personally took the initiative and mentioned the "Daming Lanxiang Technical School" with a wave of his hand. Still unfinished, he took another stroke of the pen and wrote the crooked words of "rejuvenating the country through science and technology" that would guide the future development direction of the Ming Dynasty. The world's first science and technology training college was born, and students gathered for a while. It was also known as the four major academies together with Shoushan Academy, Imperial College, and Erxian Academy in Beijing.

This formed a pattern in which the technical school is the base for cultivating scientific talents, the Imperial College is for cultivating management talents, the Shoushan Academy is the place for the inheritance of ideas, and the Erxian Academy is for cultural exchanges.

Every scholar, with a passion for rejuvenating the country through science and technology, comes to the gate of Lanxiang Technical School in awe. When he pays homage to this holy land of science, he is always tempted to hit the large characters on the gilt plaque. impulse. This handwriting is too embarrassing.

However, no matter what, once this trend of focusing on science started, the results were almost immediate.

The first agricultural achievement appeared, that is, the emergence of a seeder that integrated seeding, soil cultivation, and compaction.

As soon as this agricultural machinery came out, the original need for the cooperation of ten people for farming was reduced to only three people. In this way, the farming efficiency has been greatly improved. In the past, one laborer could only cultivate 20 acres of land at most, but now he can cultivate 30 acres of land.

There are also countless inexplicable inventions, big and small, emerging one after another.

But no matter how big or small, as long as it was new and practical, Lu Mou would not hesitate to reward it, so the wind of invention and creation prevailed.

This has greatly accelerated the development of Daming Technology. In terms of technology that was already leading the world, Ming Dynasty has already surpassed the world by three streets, and is rushing towards the fourth street.

The 20th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty has arrived, and Lu Mou is already fifteen years old in this world. My brother is also seventeen. However, it was still a year before the crowning ceremony was actually held, so the year-end party was still hosted by the two children. After all the officials sang their praises, their eyes were full of anticipation, looking forward to the rewards at the end of the year, so that everyone could go home and celebrate the New Year.

Supervisor Zhu Cixi did not disappoint everyone. He officially announced on behalf of his father that this year's routine rewards were still double the normal amount compared to last year.

At the same time, on behalf of his mother, he announced that each official of the ninth rank and above would be rewarded with a share of his family's money, so that those family members could support their husbands in their diligent work for the country.

At the same time, it was announced that half of this year's rewards would no longer be replaced by gifts, but all of them would be given in real money.

This once again won the cheers and support of hundreds of officials, and the prisoner's reputation as a generous and benevolent country was truly bought with money.

Nowadays, the income of cigarette factories and pharmaceutical factories with internal funds can really be described as being as rich as the country. Chongzhen and his son are not short of money.

After the supervisor had won over people's hearts, Lu Mou came on the scene again and announced that he would use the reward funds stored in the central bank several times to give year-end rewards to those officials who had recorded outstanding political achievements in the Civil Service Examination Department to reward their diligence.

Now, Lu Mou's main focus is to show that he has more money.

The inner purpose is to tell the world that the Ming Dynasty is no longer a poor and impoverished yamen. Not only do we have sufficient funds for military construction and people's livelihood construction, we will also give generous rewards to everyone who contributes to the country.

We have full financial confidence to restore the Ming Dynasty. Wasn’t it just money and food that was needed to restore the Ming Dynasty? We have plenty of money.

Entering the military camp again, he summoned all the meritorious officers of the entire army in the battle to regain Shanxi. After handing out routine rewards to them with his own hands, he stood on the stage and shouted loudly in front of more than 2,000 meritorious officers: "Every single person is single." , raise your hands.”

Everyone is confused, what does this mean?
The military orders were like a mountain, and everyone raised their hands.

Most of the two thousand soldiers were single.

Also, in the earliest days, when a soldier had no food, no clothes to cover his body, and could not even support his wife, who would want to marry Qiu Ba.

Nowadays, the military is well paid, but wars are frequent and wars are fought here and there, so there is no time to marry a wife.

After seeing so many bachelors, Lu Mou nodded with satisfaction and suddenly announced: "I care about the lives of soldiers. For this reason, I will act as a matchmaker and betroth the maids in the palace to you as wives. I will use the rewards you just received as betrothal gifts to start a family immediately." ”

This happiness came too suddenly, and the soldiers were a little at a loss, but the great happiness given by the prince had to be continued. So, they all happily handed back the rewarded silver coins that they had just received but were still warm.

Pairs of graceful palace maids were brought over by the palace nuns. They began to walk around shyly in front of the bachelor soldiers, choosing their favorites.

After the pairing was completed, Lu Mou announced loudly to the excited and red-faced soldiers: "These maids are all my god-sisters. If anyone dares to bully them, I, my brother-in-law, will have his legs broken." What are you going to do next?”

Everyone raised their hands: "We will fight to the death with my uncle."

Lu Mou staggered.

After a burst of laughter, the soldiers all knelt down on one knee and solemnly swore: "We will fight to the death for my uncle."

Looking at the silver coins piled back at his feet, looking at the happy faces of the palace ladies who had chosen others, and looking at the soldiers who loyal to fight to the death, Lu Mou felt proud in his heart: "The income in the palace is quite rich, this is called open source. But there are no idlers in the palace. There are too many, and the eunuchs are sent to grow tobacco, and the palace maids have to get married. This is called cutting off expenditures. The only way to manage money is to reward military achievements and give marriage to the palace maids. This is the standard." (This chapter. over)
