Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

“You’re going to implement the New Deal?”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying curiously.

"You're willing to do anything to avoid going to the military camp!"

After all, Zhu Xiongying was obstructed in every way when he was asked to implement the new policy.

Now you actually choose to bring it up actively!
"Old Zhu, I gave you things and helped you implement the new policy."

"Don't be so ungrateful after getting such an advantage!"

"Row!"

"We promise you!"

Anyway, we have to find something for Zhu Xiongying to do. As long as there is something to do, who cares what it is!
"Can't regret it?"

"You have no joke!"

"it is good!"

"A word is settled!"

"Now can we say it's something?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

"this one!"

As he spoke, Zhu Xiongying took out a grenade and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"what is this?"

"Why does it look like an egg?"

Zhu Yuanzhang held the grenade and looked at it carefully.

"This is a grenade, a small bomb."

"The killing and looting range is 125 steps in radius."

"This thing is so small, but it's so powerful?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat surprised.

"That's not the case!"

“And most importantly, it’s lightweight, small and easy to carry.”

"One person can carry several of them. Imagine if this thing is thrown into the enemy army."

"If we stop them, we will cause a lot of casualties to the enemy. If a group of people are still there, won't the killing power be even greater?"

"For the defense, attack!"

“They are all good offensive forces!”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded upon hearing this: "Yes! That's right!"

“It’s a good thing!”

"When charging, throw a few grenades at the enemy to blow up their formation."

"It's a nice and fun thing to defeat them in one fell swoop."

"All right!"

"Not bad!"

"go!"

"Go try out the power of this thing."

As he said that, he pulled Zhu Xiongying and walked outside.

..........................................

On the training ground!
"Stinky boy, how do you use this thing?"

"Just unplug this and throw it away."

Zhu Yuanzhang followed Zhu Xiongying's instructions, pulled out the plug and threw it away.

There was a loud bang!
All the clay pots around were broken into pieces.

"You little brat, why does it look so powerful?"

"no?"

"Send some sheep over."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked Mao Xiang to prepare.

Before long, everything was ready.

Zhu Xiongying took out another grenade and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"This time you throw it into the flock!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Pull out the plug and throw it at the flock of sheep.

boom……

There was a loud noise!
All the sheep fell in a pool of blood.

Then a Jinyiwei hurried over to check.

Come back and report later!
"Your Majesty, the sheep are all dead."

"All dead?"

"Yes!"

Only this time did Zhu Yuanzhang believe in the power of grenades.

"Didn't I lie to you?"

"Yeah! That's good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Zhu Xiongying took out a blueprint and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang: "This is the blueprint of the grenade."

“Here’s a sample!”

"Let someone take it and study it!"

As he said this, he gave Zhu Yuanzhang a sample.

"Erhu!"

"Send it to the Ministry of Industry!"

"Yes!"

Mao Xiang took the drawings and asked someone to send them to the Ministry of Industry.

"Old Zhu, I told you before that we have a strong country through science and technology."

“Should we implement it now?”

"It depends on the Ministry of Industry, which is responsible for both construction and research."

"I'm afraid not!"

“Over time, I’m afraid the Ministry of Industry will become bigger, even if it doesn’t.”

"We have to do both. I'm afraid the technological progress of the Ming Dynasty is not satisfactory."

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and said indifferently.

"Just like I said before, set up a new department."

“It can be independent of the six ministries, or it can be under the Ministry of Works.”

"It is used exclusively for scientific research, so that Ming can embark on the path of becoming a technological power."

"It studies, and the Ministry of Industry implements!"

"For example, firearms, cannons, grenades, and other military products can all be researched by them."

"In this case, will our Ming Dynasty still be weak?"

"Moreover, these studies can also be used for civilian purposes and change the infrastructure of our Ming Dynasty."

"For example, the cement used before can be used to pave roads and build houses."

"If you want to be rich, build roads first! Only with roads can you develop better."

“Goods can be transported better.”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "You are right. It should be implemented."

"How do you think this should be implemented?"

"Simple. Recruit skilled craftsmen from all over the country and have them serve the court."

"Their duty is to research various technologies for our Ming Dynasty, such as firearms, cannons, etc."

"As long as you have the ability, you can serve the country."

"As for the name! It's Daming Infrastructure!"

"Ming infrastructure?"

“What does this infrastructure mean?”

“Infrastructure!”

"Oh oh oh oh……"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Indeed, it is infrastructure!

Road construction is also the foundation, and firearms are also the foundation of the Ming army's strength.

This name is very appropriate!

"It's a good name, and it's easy to understand!"

"Then let's call it Daming Infrastructure!"

"That's not enough!"

"Ok?"

"still got more?"

"Of course there is!"

“There has to be a legacy!”

"It's impossible that the Ming Dynasty's infrastructure will be shut down after a generation has passed, right?"

"This is true!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

"Then recruit them!"

"We recruit students once a year, or once every three years."

"Wouldn't it be possible to have a continuous supply this way?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and smiled.

"no!"

"Huh? No?"

"Why?"

“Of course it’s not professional enough.”

"Not professional enough?"

"Correct!"

"If the Great Ming Infrastructure is established and recruits people from all over the country, those who are recruited will definitely be the best."

“Those recruited in the future will definitely not be as professional.”

"Although I can let those people lead me after I enter Daming Infrastructure, this is not what I want."

"So what do you mean?"

"Set up a few more schools to train talents in this area."

"In school, we teach them theoretical knowledge and instill in them the idea of ​​serving the Ming Dynasty and the country."

"These students have solid theoretical knowledge. After studying for a few years, they can get started quickly when they enter Daming Infrastructure."

"That's bullshit!"

"Those from the folks have also been learning for several years."

"Is it hard for people to get started quickly?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said disdainfully.

"I can't deny that they are not quick with their hands, but they only know how to do it this way or that way."

"But for some reason, without solid theoretical knowledge, it is difficult to make breakthroughs in science and technology."

"If this is the case, technology will never be able to develop. Isn't this just standing still?"

“Only with theory can we make breakthroughs!”

"What you said seems to make sense."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"So we must set up an academy specifically for training this kind of talents." "When they have learned to a certain level and graduated, they will take the exam for Daming Infrastructure. Only those who pass the exam can enter Daming Infrastructure."

"This way we can filter out those who are trying to take advantage of the situation. After all, that is the future of Ming Dynasty and we cannot ignore it."

"The salary must also be raised, otherwise no one will apply for the exam."

"Also, anyone who works in Daming Infrastructure can become a teacher in the school."

"Give him an extra salary, and then the master will naturally have nothing to worry about."

“Beyond this, awards should be established.”

"Award? What award?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying curiously.

"For example, a technology award or the Imperial Medal!"

"That kind of thing!"

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

"These are all honors, as long as there are major technological breakthroughs and technologies that are useful to Ming Dynasty."

“You can get it!”

"Then publish it in the Daming Daily so that everyone in the world, all the people of Daming, will know about it."

"Let him become famous, and then reward him with some money. Another thing is to make his name recorded in history and passed down through the ages."

"Then put it in the textbooks so that students and children will know about it and it will become a household name."

"Fame and fortune are what motivates people."

"Only when they have motivation can our Ming Dynasty become more powerful and far surpass the Han and Tang dynasties."

"Well! You really understand people's hearts!"

"Not bad!"

"You're quite a cunning fellow."

Zhu Xiongying: "..."

"Old Zhu, do you know how to praise people?"

"If you don't know how to praise others, then don't praise them."

"Go, go, go!"

"No more, no more."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

"It's true what you said."

"You make a very logical point. Have you thought of a name?"

"That is!"

"Ming Imperial College of Technology."

"A college of the same rank as the Imperial Academy is the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty."

"The Imperial Academy trains talents for governing the country, and the Ming Imperial College trains talents for strengthening the country."

"Polytechnic?"

"Why is this name so strange?"

"What's weird?"

“Only in this way can the characteristics of this school be reflected and it can be different from others.”

"Go, go, go!"

"Whatever!"

"It's just a name!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said.

"We will bring it up in the court tomorrow."

"Then I don't have to go to the military camp?"

"Since you have given us such a good suggestion, let's forget it!"

"But you still have to go to the New Deal."

"I know, I know!"

"It's okay, I'm leaving!"

Zhu Xiongying patted his butt and left.

"You little bastard, you have so much talent, why are you so lazy?"

"Ugh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself as he watched Zhu Xiongying's departing back.

............................................................

next day!

Fengtian Palace!
"Your Majesty is here!"

Wang Jinghong shouted in a shrill voice.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

All the ministers bowed.

"Everyone, I love you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright on the dragon throne, looking down at all the officials.

"My dear ministers, we have decided to set up a new organization."

"We will research technology specifically for our Ming Dynasty. In the future, our Ming Dynasty will become a technological power."

"Only technology can make our Ming Dynasty stronger and stronger."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers below began to discuss the matter.

"Your Majesty, what is this technology...?"

"Yes! You can understand it as the new killing weapon that the Ministry of Industry has researched."

"Like guns, cannons, grenades, and so on."

"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang told Zhu Xiongying what he had talked about yesterday.

After hearing this, all the ministers praised Your Majesty for his wisdom.

"This is not our idea, it was Xiongying who came up with it."

Hearing this, the minister was slightly surprised.

This crown prince is really smart!
This kind of thing can be thought of.

"Your Majesty, but to build this Ming Dynasty infrastructure, there is also the Ming Imperial University of Technology."

“I’m afraid it will cost a huge amount!”

"The cost of the research and the salaries of those people are huge expenses."

"And if they become teachers, they will be given an extra salary."

"This will cost the Ming Dynasty another fortune, and Your Majesty will have to prepare to send troops to Liaodong."

"If this continues, the Ming Dynasty may not be able to bear the burden!"

The contemporary Duke Yansheng immediately stood up to oppose it.

It was because he heard that Imperial College London was the highest institution of learning on par with the Imperial Academy.

If this continues, the status of their scholars will be shaken and the scholars will lose their status.

Then what status do the Kong family have?

After all, their Kong family is a holy place in the hearts of all scholars.

Do those unruly people who do dirty and tiring work and cannot read a single word have the same status as scholars?
Isn’t this nonsense?
He doesn't allow this!
Now that they have reached this status, it is impossible for them to be willing to be on an equal footing with others.

"Your Majesty, what Duke Yansheng said makes sense."

"Our Ming Dynasty has just been established and there is a lot of work to be done. If we start large-scale construction projects, we will waste money recklessly."

“The people are overwhelmed!”

"Your Majesty! I second the motion!"

"I second the proposal!"

"..."

More and more ministers stood up to oppose it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly turned gloomy when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, now our Ming Dynasty has become a great country with strong military and military power."

"Researching weapons of mass destruction like that may harm the harmony of nature!"

"What should I do if God punishes me?"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Zuodu Yushi Yuan Tai stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Yuan said makes sense!"

"Such a weapon of great destructive power is really against the harmony of nature. God is merciful and kind."

"Your Majesty, as the ruler of the world, you should abide by the Way of Heaven!"

The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the gloomier his expression became.

It was so gloomy that ink seemed to be dripping out.

"whispering sound!"

"A bunch of poor, pedantic scholars!"

"Have you ever been on the battlefield?"

"Do you know how cruel the battlefield is?"

"With those weapons, how many of our Ming men can survive?"

"do you know?"

Lan Yu, who had a hot temper, couldn't help it anymore.

"that is!"

"You are just talking here and you are killing such a good weapon."

"How can we fight the enemy without weapons?"

Chang Mao also quickly agreed.

"That's right!"

"A bunch of people who only know how to whine in the court. Their weapons and equipment are the only thing that can make them strong."

"Only in this way can we deter foreign enemies!"

"absurd!"

"There is so much to be done in the Ming Dynasty now, how can we start a large-scale construction?"

"You're fucking ridiculous."

"you……"

"What are you?"

"Nothing."

"Humph! Reckless man!"

"Poor scholar!"

"..."

For a moment, the two gangs started arguing.

The entire center of the Ming Dynasty was like a vegetable market for a while.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly.

The entire court immediately fell silent.

"They are all important officials of the court. How can they make such a fuss?"

Zhu Yuanzhang got furious and all his ministers lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"What you said makes sense, who should we listen to?"

"Hero!"

"What do you think should happen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned and looked at Zhu Xiongying.
