Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 80
Zhu Xiongying didn't think that he was omnipotent or that he was so great because of time travel or rebirth.

He dare not underestimate the people of this era, especially the people who can come into contact with him now are basically the top people of this era.

Either he was born rich or has outstanding ability, it is basically difficult for ordinary people to appear by his side, or it is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to stay by Zhu Xiongying's side for a long time.

Time travel is really not a panacea, without a certain amount of experience and ability, how can I have the confidence to say that I have outstanding abilities.Zhu Xiongying's greatest advantage is probably the vision beyond this era, the overall situation detached from this era, and his understanding of some historical trends.

Zhu Xiongying pays more attention to many things. For example, in Jinmenwei, he requires a lot of oranges, including some vegetables and so on.All of this is for sailors, especially for those sailors who have been wandering in the sea for a long time, some vitamin supplements are very necessary.

Many people may not be aware of this now, but Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor, ordered that many people naturally dare not be sloppy.Furthermore, some sailors and crew members may have gradually realized some benefits.

Furthermore, in Beiping, Zhu Xiongying asked to prepare a lot of garlic, which is also a natural antibiotic.Garlic is one of the necessary ingredients for the frontier army to go on an expedition. Zhu Xiongying has relatively high requirements for such rigid requirements.

If some people refused to eat, resisted, or acted obediently, Zhu Xiongying had no choice but to stare at every soldier.But Zhu Xiongying believes that once some generals realize this, it will be enough.

Many people also know 'one nitrate, two sulfur and three wood charcoal', but this is black powder, which is said to be researched by warlocks for the purpose of curing diseases and exorcising evil spirits.And gunpowder is not only used to make firecrackers, it has been used in wars since the Tang Dynasty.Especially in the Song Dynasty, cannons and bird guns also began to appear.

Today's firearms are not particularly mature, but their maturity is relatively high.

Zhu Xiongying brought many craftsmen, including a gunpowder workshop.It can also be seen that Lao Zhu and Da Zhu have delegated power to Zhu Xiongying. Normally, these firearms are highly valued by the royal family, and ordinary officials have no way to get in touch with them.

Zhu Xiongying's expression was indifferent, and he explained to an eunuch, "My palace's requirements are very simple. For the bronze cannons I make, I require every component and every craftsman to be traceable, understand?"

The eunuch naturally nodded repeatedly, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry actually understood this truth, and Zhu Xiongying did not initiate such a thing.

In the Qin Dynasty, it is said that there was such a thing, and the instruments made by craftsmen needed to be engraved with their names.All of this is naturally to find the person responsible, and to ensure quality and quality, such things naturally cannot be sloppy.

Zhu Xiongying continued, "Bird guns and cannons, find a way to achieve a unified system, and some parts can be replaced with each other in field battles. Also, don't be reluctant to do experiments. How long does it take for a gun or a gun to explode? The chamber will break down after a long time of continuous use, and it must be tested by this palace!"

This seems to be a bit difficult, because it seems that many people do not have such a concept at all. For them, it is enough to make cannons and blunderbuss, which is almost enough on the surface.

But Zhu Xiongying is not so easy to fool, he needs his own craftsmen and sergeants to know more about these firearms, he hopes to build a production line, which is naturally for the better development of firearms.

Zhu Xiongying doesn't care about what is difficult for the strong.He is the grandson of the emperor, and the future successor of this huge empire. Some of his will and orders, in the eyes of many people, are the "Mandate of Heaven" that cannot be discounted, and they are some tasks that those people will try their best to complete.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Xiongying said, "If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you have demerit, you will be punished. If you draw up a list of craftsmen with outstanding craftsmanship, and draw up a list of masters who have made outstanding achievements in leading apprentices, I will reward you in this palace. Remember, those who have excellent craftsmanship and solve the craftwork The master craftsman of the problem must also be recorded."

When Zhu Xiongying wanted to do this in Beiping, it was a bit difficult, and the resistance was a little bit bigger.

In this day and age, many people look down on craftsmen. Ancient social classes such as scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are also mainstream in this day and age.Especially Lao Zhu, he really feels like a 'peasant emperor'.

Previously in charge of Longjiang Shipyard, Zhu Xiongying wanted to promote some shipwrights.It was just some of his ideas, not to mention some officials, even Lao Zhu and Da Zhu agreed.

It's okay to reward some gold and silver, and it's also okay to give freelance to a few low-class craftsmen once in a while.But if you want to reward a loose official, or be promoted to an official or a cadre, the resistance is very great.

This can be regarded as moving the fundamentals of scholars and touching their interests.After all, things like being an official are basically for scholars.These scholars disdain to be a group with craftsmen, even some officials, they don't accept it.

There is a difference between officials and officials, let alone craftsmen.

What's more, in the pre-Yuan period, the household registration system was very chaotic, and Lao Zhu has been studying these since he conquered the world.

In the third year of Hongwu, the household registration system was basically established.Because the formulation of this system is of great significance to the taxation of the Ming Dynasty.

According to the division of labor, it is divided into civilian households, military households, and artisan households. Civilian households work in agriculture, and pay agricultural taxes to the state and serve corvee; Hard labor.

After inspecting the gunpowder workshop, Zhu Xiongying also became happy.

Back in Fulong Palace, Zhu Xiongying slumped on the couch, "Recently, those scholars and new scholars, do you have any complaints?"

Wang Chengen didn't dare to hide it, and said, "There is indeed resentment. Some scholars feel that His Highness is close to martial arts and craftsmen. What's more, there are some crazy words."

Zhu Xiongying showed a mocking smile and said, "These people seem to have a good time, and they are a little swollen!"

When Lao Zhu was conquering the world, he was indeed trying his best to win the support of scholars, especially the support of the East Zhejiang civil official group, which was also very important.Among them, Liu Bowen is the representative, and these people have indeed helped Lao Zhu a lot.

But to be honest, Lao Zhu is also very good at dealing with civil servants.

Zhu Xiongying said this because some Confucian scholars were also discriminated against in the former Yuan Dynasty.In the 11th year of Dade in the Yuan Dynasty, Confucius was granted the title of King Wenxuan of Dacheng Most Sage; on the other hand, Confucianism ranked nine out of ten people in the Yuan Dynasty.

"Stinky Old Nine", this is based on history, in the Yuan Dynasty, Confucian scholars were still behind prostitutes and before beggars!

But even so, many people still miss the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.Especially in the North, the direct rule of foreign races made many people disagree with their Han family identity.

The status of Confucianism is unquestionable, and its influence on this nation is deeply rooted.

It’s just that Zhu Xiongying feels that with the destruction of the former Yuan Dynasty, coupled with some intentional or unintentional suppression by Lao Zhu now, the scholar group expects to rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. It is impossible!
The good parts of Confucianism should be used instead. After all, national genes and so on are not so easy to change.It's just that Confucianism can't become a monopoly, and it can't just let Confucian scholars master all the channels to become officials.

In Beiping, with his own base, Zhu Xiongying can start to try some things!

Naturally, Wang Chengen didn't dare to speak at this time, he just needed to finish what the grandson told him.He is a smart man, but he also knows that the grandson has far-reaching thoughts, and it is probably only in front of the emperor and the prince that the grandson will escape a little.

Having been by Zhu Xiongying's side all the time, Wang Chengen also knew that Zhu Xiongying was a multi-faceted person, and it was not so easy to figure out Zhu Xiongying's mind.What's more, once Taisun has made a decision, it is impossible for ordinary people to make Taisun change his mind.

What's more, in his eyes, His Highness Taisun is wise and powerful, and some of His Highness's decisions are naturally extremely correct. He will implement them without compromise, let alone doubt them!
