Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 353 Can I be an Empress?
Liu Shuying's family is in Anfu County, Ji'an Prefecture, while Song Yingxing's family is in Fengxin County, Nanchang Prefecture.

Both places have accessible waterways, so Li Siming first went to Ji'an Mansion to find Liu Shuying, and then found Song Yingxing on the return journey.

At this time, Liu Shuying had already experienced three major life events: marriage, childbirth, and loss of her husband. Her son was also two or three years old.

In this case, it is naturally not so easy for her to trust Li Siming and follow her.

Fortunately, Li Siming was well prepared. Not only did he carry Zhu Yuxi's decree and a solar flashlight, but he also got a letter from Jiangxi Governor Yuan Jixian.

After seeing Yuan Jixian's letter and finding out that Princess Jianguo's army had indeed passed through Jiujiang, Liu Shuying decided to come to Nanjing with Li Siming.

As for Song Yingxing, because he has better news, he has already learned about all the important things that Zhu Wei has done in Huguang. Li Siming only used the decree and the identity of Jin Yiwei to let him agree to come to Nanjing...

Auntie Zhu asked the female soldier to bring a stool, motioned the two of them to sit down, then looked at Song Yingxing, and said, "I have read Mr. Chang Geng's "Tiangong Kaiwu", which records various techniques of agriculture and handicrafts in the Ming Dynasty. , is indeed a masterpiece of the Workers and Peasants Encyclopedia."

Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu" was first published in the tenth year of Chongzhen.

But in the late Ming Dynasty, entertainment literature such as strange novels, or works related to imperial examinations, could still earn royalties.

However, encyclopedia books such as "Tiangong Kaiwu" written by Song Yingxing out of personal interests were published at his own expense.

Although Song Yingxing came from a gentry family, he would not use too much money to print this book. Before that, he mostly gave some to like-minded friends, or put them in bookstores for consignment.

But still the same sentence, "Heavenly Creation" is neither about scientific research, nor as interesting as novels, so naturally not many people bought it.

Therefore, Song Yingxing was both surprised and excited when she heard Auntie Zhu said that she had read "Heavenly Creations", and she still admired it very much.

As a scholar, who doesn't want his aspirations and what he has learned to be recognized and even admired by the superiors?
Even the pursuit of many scholars in life is nothing more than that.

Song Yingxing did not expect that he would achieve the goal pursued by many scholars in their lives in this way.

He stood up, his excitement hard to hide, "It's just a work of grassroots interest. It doesn't even count as miscellaneous learning, and it is useless to the country. How can it be worthy of such praise from the prison country? The grassroots are really terrified."

While excited and happy, Song Yingxing was really terrified.

Just like Chen Yujie who was praised by Aunt Zhu at the beginning, Song Yingxing also worried that he would become a villain regarded by the scholars as a villain who made progress with strange skills and skillful learning.

Auntie Zhu said with a smile, "Mr. Chang Geng really thinks that the techniques of agriculture and handicrafts recorded in "Tiangong Kaiwu" are useless to the country?"

Song Yingxing hesitated for a while, and said: "Fantastic skills may have small uses, but they really have nothing to do with the way of governing the country."

Speaking of this, Auntie Zhu didn't want to have a debate with Song Yingxing, it would waste too much talking.

She turned to say: "The two of you have come to Nanjing all the way, you should have heard some rumors about this palace, right?"

Song Yingxing, who had been an official to know the state and then resigned to return to his hometown, still had a hesitant expression when he heard the words.

Liu Shuying thought of all the rumors she had heard, but showed curiosity, and said: "The women have indeed heard some, but it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false."

Auntie Zhu laughed and said, "This palace can achieve today's achievements because it is indeed destined by heaven to bestow great supernatural powers on future generations."

After finishing speaking, Auntie Zhu disappeared in front of the two of them, and brought something back after a while.

Then, she gave Song Yingxing and Liu Shuzhen each a tablet computer, and a small video with rich text and pictures was playing on it, which was about their lives.

It also includes comments on Liu Shuying's poems and Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu".

The two of them managed to come back to their senses, and fell into shock again.

Liu Shuying never expected that the next ten years of her original history would be so rough.

But those poems and the various choices in the records really seemed like what she would do.

Song Yingxing did not expect that later generations would have such a high evaluation of his "Heavenly Creation", and he would also have such a high evaluation, which even made him feel a little ashamed.

Auntie Zhu was not in a hurry to continue communicating with the two, but sat back on the dragon chair to deal with documents related to military and political affairs.

After about an hour, Liu Shuying and Song Yingxing recovered and returned the tablet.

Auntie Zhu smiled and asked, "Now that you two know why I value you so much, why did you rush to invite you to Nanjing?"

Without hesitation, Liu Shuying knelt down and saluted, saying: "Minnv is willing to serve the country!"

Song Yingxing also knelt down and said, "Caomin is also willing to serve Jianguo and revive Ming Dynasty!"

Aunt Zhu hurriedly helped the two of them up, and immediately said: "I will set up a 'secretariat', select talents from all over the world to assist me in handling government affairs, and Mu Ping (Liu Shuying's character) will be the secretary of the secretariat."

Liu Shuying immediately saluted and said, "This humble minister leads the decree!"

Aunt Zhu said: "I heard that your mother and son are still at home, if you want to take them to Nanjing, I can send someone to help you."

There are many bandits in Jiangxi and Nanzhili in this world, so Liu Shuying didn't bring her mother and son with her.

After receiving Aimi Zhu's favor, she immediately thanked her again.

Aunt Zhu looked at Song Yingxing again, and said, "Later generations take science as the way to rejuvenate the country, and all encyclopedias can develop greatly because of science, which is of great use to the prosperity of the country.

In the future, my palace will definitely develop science and industry in Daming, so that the people will no longer suffer from hunger and cold, and the country will be strong without foreign troubles, etc.

All of this needs to be based on my Ming's existing agriculture, handicraft technology, and craftsmen.

Therefore, I asked Mr. Chang Geng to take up the post of Langzhong in the Ministry of Industry, and he will be in charge of the newly established Industry Department. "

Song Yingxing had previously served as the prefect of Bozhou as a juren, and was later named a soldier patrol by the Hongguang court, but he did not take up the post.

Whether it is Zhizhou, or the inspector sent by the leader of the army to patrol the road, they are all five grades.

The doctor of the Ministry of Industry is also a fifth-rank official, so it is not considered a promotion for him.

However, Song Yingxing didn't care much about the official position. Hearing the words, he first knelt down and thanked him for accepting the order, and then asked, "I don't know what the Minister of Industry is going to do?"

Aimee Zhu and Hao Guangming had discussed Song Yingxing's mission many times.

She said: "Mr. Chang Geng has only two tasks, one is 'talent' and the other is 'resources'."

Song Yingxing, who has been an official for many years, heard the so-called "the fewer words, the bigger the matter", and he knew that Auntie Zhu would indeed entrust him with important tasks.

This in turn made him even more excited.

Zhu Wei continued: "After you take up the post in the Ministry of Industry, you need to pay attention to those officials and officials who really understand the practical affairs like you. As long as there is no major moral problem, you can make friends and record them in the record.

Later, I can transfer these people to the Industry Department to help you do great things.

After you have obtained the talents you need among the officials, the next thing you need to recruit is the artisans in the southern Zhili area, and even Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Jiangbei and other places.

You don't have to be in a hurry, you can start from Nanzhili, or even Yingtianfu.

You need to know all kinds of information about these craftsmen's skills, living conditions, etc., and compile them into a book.

It should be known that if Daming is to be revitalized through industry, these craftsmen are the most important wealth of Daming. "

At this point, Auntie Zhu paused for a moment before continuing: "As for resources, we can put them in the last place.

First, it is the government-run military bureaus, mines, iron factories, shipyards, and some large private workshops and other manufacturing sites.

The second is the natural resources produced by the world such as iron ore and coal mines. "

Later, Aunt Zhu and Song Yingxing had a detailed exchange of many things about the development of Daming industry.

Seeing that Liu Shuying stayed on the sidelines and had nothing to do, Aimee Zhu asked her to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to make a summary record of her conversation with Song Yingxing...

The next day.

Auntie Zhu received another important figure in the Hall of Martial Arts.

"Grassman Zodiac Zhou see Jian Guo Chitose."

In the Hall of Martial Ying, an old man with gray hair meticulously saluted Aimee Zhu.

This person is the zodiac week, one of the two weeks in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Flat body."

Zhu Yu asked Huang Daozhou to get up and looked over, only to see that Huang Daozhou was of medium height, thin and dark, with eyebrows like swords, nose peaks like mountains, and slightly thin lips. Even though he was old, he still gave off a sharp feeling.

There are all inside and all outside.

It can be seen from his appearance and demeanor that Huang Daozhou is indeed a person who dares to confront the emperor face to face.

As for who the miserable emperor is, don't even think about it, it's her father Huang Chongzhen.

Prior to this, the Hongguang court was newly established, and Huang Daozhou was recruited as Minister of Rites.It's a pity that within a few months, Qian Qianyi, a traitor of the Donglin Party, was pushed down.

However, Huang Daozhou did not leave Nanjing immediately afterwards—historically, he left before Nanjing was about to be captured by the Qing army, so this time and space is still in Nanjing.

Zhu Yu wanted to organize the enthronement ceremony, it must be presided over by a minister who understands etiquette. Xie Xuelong and Ma Shiying both recommended Huang Daozhou.

Aimee Zhu has a certain understanding of Zodiac Zhou's temperament, personality and even the Three Views, but after all, the records of later generations cannot be fully believed.

So, after Huang Daozhou got up, she asked directly: "Mr. Shi Zhai, does Mr. Shi Zhai think that this palace is the empress?"

　Second more.

　　Good night~
