back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 137 Application for Cannon Casting
If these words came out of Lu Chengqi's mouth, the effect would not be very good.But speaking from the empress's mouth, the meaning is too profound.This shows what?It shows that the holy family is prosperous!Saying this to the people next to his pillow shows that Lu Chengqi really thinks that these three people are talents that can be used and should be reused.All three of them had great ambitions, how could they hear the subtle smell of jealousy in Zhou Zhiruo's words?He didn't praise his own women, but praised his courtiers instead. As Yuanpei's main wife, Zhou Zhiruo was a little jealous.

Hearing these words, Shen Kuo, Su Song, and Tang Xun all felt a strong sense of respect from the holy family, and were so moved that they wished to immediately "promote Yulong to die as the king" in order to clarify their aspirations.

Lu Chengqi could hear the sourness in Zhou Zhiruo's words, and said tenderly: "I also want to praise Zitong, Zitong has managed the business of Huangzhuang to flourish these days, and the orphanage handled it beyond my expectations. A good compliment!"

Seeing Lu Chengqi talking nonsense regardless of the occasion, Zhou Zhiruo blushed immediately, and spat: "You!" After speaking, she trotted all the way, avoiding the crowd, not knowing where to hide for fun.

Everyone present saw such a scene, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, it was really hard to hold back.Lu Chengqi was generous and said, "Laugh if you want to. As a husband, shouldn't you praise your wife?"

Everyone who knew something about Lu Chengqi's personality laughed without hesitation at this moment, and the relationship between the monarch and his ministers was once again sublimated.Yang Daoqi, who was originally unable to get in the way, couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty and your empress are so affectionate, it is the blessing of the people of the world! I also hope that your Majesty will give birth to a dragon son as soon as possible, and extend my Dashun Guozuo!"

"It's this problem again..." Lu Chengqi couldn't help but feel powerless for a while, he was not in a hurry, the Lu family that had been passed down for several generations really needed to spread its branches and leaves.In the Dashun Dynasty, not to mention the prince, there are few close relatives.However, the Tian family has no father and son, and even if there are fewer relatives, it is also a terrible thing for foreign relatives to interfere in politics.

Lu Chengqi also wanted a child, but he knew there was no rush.The average life expectancy of ancient people was not long, all because too many babies died prematurely.The premature death of babies is also due to the low childbearing age of women and the low level of medicine.And the harm of women's early childbearing affects women's life expectancy.In view of this, the reborn Lu Chengqi naturally disagreed with having sex and having children so early.

Lu Chengqi quickly changed the subject and asked, "Su Qing, how long do you think it will take to rebuild the rails and carriages at the earliest?"

Su Song thought about it seriously, and said: "If the road is still hundreds of feet long, the military inspection will take five days at the fastest. It is not difficult to transform the wheels, and three days is enough. Only in this way, the rifle's Production slowed down."

Su Song's current official position is still the position of military supervisor, but the salary is paid according to the fourth rank, which is regarded as a salary increase without a salary increase.He handles the reports sent from the Military Weapons Supervision every day, and he has a good understanding of the productivity of the Military Weapons Supervision.

In this world, there are gains and losses, and it is impossible for everything to be perfect.If the production capacity is sufficient, Dashun has already conquered the whole of Asia. With such advanced muskets, even if there are no cannons, who can stop the firing of tens of thousands of muskets in the field?A city can be conquered by approaching the city wall and using black powder and gunpowder to blow open the city gate or the city wall.

War is not a child's play, no matter how strong the combat power is, it is useless without logistical support.Chidao is the logistics support hub that Lu Chengqi wants to build. It is not only for the military, but also can play a huge role in the transmission of culture, the accessibility of government orders, the integration of nations, and the development of the economy. This is what Lu Chengqi decided to do. The ultimate reason for the determination to build Chidao.The importance of Chidao is no less than that of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Of course, in terms of transportation volume, horse-drawn carriage transportation is always inferior to water transportation.The Grand Canal must be excavated, and the Yellow River's dams must be strengthened, but everything requires money and a lot of labor.However, under the background of the small-scale peasant economy, if you want to do these two projects, you will definitely be scolded by Yu Shitai, saying that it is a waste of money and so on...

Thinking of this question, Lu Chengqi still couldn't help feeling dizzy.Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.Lu Chengqi has long realized the correctness of this sentence, but he never thought that after being reborn as an emperor, he would be troubled by lack of money.

He said depressedly: "In this case, let's melt this section of the road and recast it, so as not to waste it. This time, we will directly make a road, leading to the Military Weapons Supervision and the Royal Military Academy. The three places are connected. I will travel in the future." It's also more convenient."

With a scientific attitude, Su Song remonstrated: "Your Majesty, if the three places are connected, the construction distance will not be less than [-] miles. The proposal of the empress seems to be feasible, but it has not been tested, and the ministers are not sure. It is better to first Cast hundreds of feet long and try it out, and if it is feasible, then lay a large number of it!"

Lu Chengqi is a reborn person who knows the feasibility of the railway, but these people don't know it!Just to be on the safe side, Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "It's very good to be cautious and innovative, and this is also what I want from the Royal University! Teacher, can this sentence be included in the school motto?"

Yang Daoqi nodded, and said: "I saw such a miraculous weapon today, and it is indeed broad and profound. Your Majesty's words are also true. Careful verification and bold innovation can indeed be my Royal University's school motto!"

Lu Chengqi could see Yang Daoqi's thought change.Seeing that he had completely let go of the past, let go of his desire for power, and devoted himself to teaching and educating people, Lu Chengqi was also quite happy in his heart.Taishi Yang has done it and made meritorious deeds.As the last minister of the Dashun Dynasty, he formed a clique for personal gain, framed his colleagues, embezzled and accepted bribes, and had a lot of stains.But during his time as Prime Minister, he did manage Dashun well, and the government orders were well understood, without any major faults.It can only be said that he has talents, but he is too selfish and forgets the public because of personal interests.

Seeing that Chidao had some clues, Tang Xun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, if Chidao is connected to the Military Weapons Supervision, can I go back to the Military Weapons Supervision and make cannons? I already have some ideas, but it still takes time." Come test it."

The three guys who were madly studying artillery were pulled out from the military inspection department because they were afraid that they would damage their bodies.Cannons can definitely be made, but if there is something wrong with these three talents, Lu Chengqi will be about to cry.Talent is always the most precious wealth, and talent is also the greatest creativity.In order to "extract" the value of these three people to the maximum, Lu Chengqi forced them to make daily life norms for them, so that these three people could live longer and serve him longer.

Lu Chengqi is not so impersonal, the reborn him values ​​talent the most.He decreed that the Taichang Temple should be assigned to the Imperial Medical Bureau, and two imperial physicians should be dispatched every day to go to the Military Arms Supervision to diagnose and prescribe sick craftsmen.And the Royal University has its own medical department, taught by the imperial physician in the palace, which can naturally solve the students' pain problems.As for the Royal Military Academy, most of them are strong and strong men, so doctors don't seem to need them very much.

There is one referee in the Imperial Medical Bureau and two judges.The judge who was promoted as the official, and the judge who was appointed as the deputy, was selected as a doctor who was proficient in medicine.The Tai Medical Bureau was large in scale, with a prime minister, a professor, nine doctors and 300 people, and became the highest management institution of medical administration and medical education in the Shun Dynasty.In the imperial palace, there is the Hanlin Medical Official Hospital under the Imperial Academy, which is fully responsible for the royal family's medical care, and is generally called the imperial doctor.Imperial physicians and imperial physicians have different responsibilities, but their medical skills are the same, only their official positions are different.

Closer to home, upon hearing Tang Xun's request, Lu Chengqi secretly sighed at the obsession of these scientific lunatics for their favorite things, thought for a while and said: "But, after sunset, you need to go back to the Royal University to rest. If there are classes in the Royal University, you are not allowed to go there." Ordnance Superintendent."

With Lu Chengqi's approval, Tang Xun, Shen Kuo and Su Song were all overjoyed, and said together: "Your Majesty is wise!"
