Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 127

Zhu Yuan took the time to reflect on why he couldn't indulge in flowers.The results obtained are similar to the methods adopted by Zeng Guofan when he abstained from female sex.

In four words: too many things.

When I think of it, I will use it.

Knowledge and action are one.

So, since Lao Zhu threw Wu Liang and Hu Weiyong over to him, Zhu Yuan's choice was to keep them busy, busy enough with things, and didn't bother to care about any mess.

This is the Maritime School located in Dinghai County Government.

The time is June sixteenth.

After breakfast, Zhu Yuan rushed over with the two of them, and watched the officials recruited by the Yinghai Division some time ago give classes here. Today, Liu Lian is in charge of teaching. All kinds of primary mechanics knowledge related to Yinghai.

Zhu Yuan, Wu Liang and Hu Weiyong, the three of them stood quietly outside a window and listened. Both were middle-aged people in their 40s and stood on both sides. Liu Lian talked eloquently with reference to the 'PPT' he gave before, and also mixed some of his own insights.

As usual, each class lasted an hour. Zhu Yuan couldn't stay that long. He watched it for a while, mainly to impress the two people around him, and then transferred to an office near the class.

Traditionally, it is called 'office', but Zhu Yuan insisted on calling it 'office', which unknowingly changed many people.

After arriving at the book case, Zhu Yuan sat down by himself, took out a pen and paper, and began to write. While motioning for the two people who followed to sit down, he said casually: "The fundamental purpose of the relevant courses is actually only one, which is to let people know the ocean. This It comes from my original idea. Fear comes from the unknown. The biggest obstacle to exploring the ocean is that people know too little about the ocean, why there are winds and waves, why there are tides, why there are fishing seasons, and so on. Now, even if you are drifting in the far sea, you will no longer be afraid and bewildered."

Wu Liang, who had the same big beard as his younger brother, nodded slightly.

Hu Weiyong cupped his hands: "Your official has carefully studied Hanlin's "Mathematics Fundamentals" in Jinling, and has gained a lot of insights. In Dinghai in recent days, I have seen many other knowledge of Hanlin. It is really amazing. Hanlin is worthy of a genius."

Wu Liang frowned slightly when he heard that Hu Weiyong flattered a young boy so unabashedly.

Zhu Yuan just smiled and said: "This Maritime Academy holds a class every day, mainly teaching the recently recruited battalion officials. Other naval governors or local officials can also come to listen. Bringing the two of you here today is a demonstration. When the two of you leave, I will assign some officials to you. At the same time, when you arrive at the place, opening a school is also the most important thing for the two of you to do. "

After finishing writing a page, Zhu Yuan put the charcoal back into the pen holder, put away the page, got up and said, "Let's go to the elementary school again, heh, the current saying is called Mengxue. However, I have given it to my ancestors. In other words, the teaching system of Ming Dynasty will be divided into three stages in the future, primary school, middle school and university.”

The two went out together, curious in their hearts, what Zhu Yuan just wrote.

Noticing the gazes of the two, Zhu Yuan continued walking, casually handing the page to Wu Liang on the right: "Look."

Wu Liang took it as he walked, and Hu Weiyong on the other side came over curiously.

On the paper are some simple and weird nouns and symbols.

Such as useful work, useless work, mechanical efficiency, friction loss...

Zhu Yuan walked in front and explained: "I thought of mechanical efficiency when listening to Liu Lian's lecture just now. This is a very important concept. We went to see that ship yesterday. The two of you felt that if you don't rely on wind power, compared Paddle boat, what's so good about it?"

Wu Liang was still thinking about it. Hu Weiyong looked at the formula 'Mechanical Efficiency = Useful Work/(Useful Work + Useless Work)' on the paper. He had really studied the "Basics of Mathematics" carefully, so he probably understood it. After thinking about it, he said: "Hanlin, if my guess is correct, it should be... What kind of mechanical efficiency is this? A steamship is better than a paddle boat?"

Zhu Yuan didn't look back, but just raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "The answer is correct. Through the transmission device, the manpower on the ship is directly converted into the rotation of the paddle wheel, thus driving the ship forward. In comparison, the paddle boat... imagine , the heavy oar usually requires several people to shake it repeatedly, but only at the moment of water removal can the paddle boat be given the power to move forward, and most of the power is actually wasted. If you give an approximate number, The mechanical efficiency of a steamship can reach 70%, but that of a paddle boat may only be 30%. This actually means that with the same manpower doing the same work, the steamship can travel 70 miles of water, while the paddle boat can only travel 30 miles. Two , do you have any insight?"

Wu Liang was thoughtful.

Hu Weiyong cupped his hands against Zhu Yuan's back again: "The Hanlin's worries are beyond our imagination."

Zhu Yuan shook his head: "Think about it. Since we are in our position, it is related to the society and the people's livelihood, and it involves the word 'zhiping'. We can't let us not think about it. For example, if you can improve the efficiency of various related sea fishing links in the future, Increase the annual production of 100 million tans of fish to 200 million tans, and the extra 100 million tans will be enough to feed more than [-] people for a year. This is our responsibility. Think about it, if Yuanshi can To ensure that all the people have something to support, is there anything we can do in this world?"

Hu Weiyong followed suit and returned to the other side of Zhuyuan, but this time he said: "Hanlin officials do not agree with this statement, and the Lord publicly created the Ming Dynasty. This is the destiny of heaven."

Zhu Yuan smiled and said: "Master Hu is too careful. I dare to say what I said just now, even in front of my ancestors. With my ancestors' mind, I will only agree. What is fate, fate is just the hearts of the people, how to win People's hearts are just two words, support the people."

Hu Weiyong also smiled and cupped his hands: "What Hanlin said is very true, the lower officials are superficial."

"I suddenly felt that what I said was too good," Zhu Yuan clapped his hands: "I will write this paragraph in my diary tonight and send it to my ancestors for a look."

Wu Liang, who was still pondering over that page, shook his head slightly.

Not seeing.

Hu Weiyong was envious, but he knew that His Majesty the Emperor specially sent a bunch of personal guards to be responsible for sending messages to Mingzhou on a regular basis. This kind of treatment was not given to the generals who were fighting in the South and North.

After leaving the courtyard where the Maritime Academy is located, Zhu Yuan got into the sedan chair, and the group went to the Mingzhou Shipping Department Office on the west side of the county government office.

Xue Shu, the magistrate of Dinghai County, has always been very concerned about Zhu Yuan's promise to run a school. Like the Maritime School of the county government, a third of it was allocated directly from the Municipal Bureau of Shipping to open Dinghai Primary School.

Of course the name was given by Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan agreed, and of course he had no objections as the regular newspaper of the Mingzhou Shipbuilding Proposal.

One-third of the government office is mainly composed of two large and small courtyards, with walls built and gates opened, which can be regarded as completely isolated.

Then, according to Zhu Yuan's request, the big courtyard recruited boys, and the small courtyard recruited girls.

At present, resources are limited, and for the time being, only the children of officials from the Navy's Governor's Mansion, Yinghai Division, and local yamen are recruited, and more places will be circulated.As for the age, although Zhu Yuan has plans, he does not set too strict restrictions for the time being. As long as the children are obedient and sensible, even if they are only five or six years old, they can be sent.

There are 200 places for boys, and they will be recruited soon.

But girls, there are some problems.

In this day and age, people with a little reputation don't want their girls to show their faces. Not only that, but some people came to persuade Zhu Yuan, thinking that setting up a girls' class is a bit of a mess, and even Xue Shu didn't agree.

Zhu Yuan ignored it.

Since the upper level does not want it, the opportunity will be sent down.

Ordinary soldiers, civilians, and Dinghai people don't have too many scruples. I heard that after studying, they can go to Jinling and become a female doctor who eats imperial food and treats the powerful. In a short period of time, there are 100 places, and thousands of people have crowded. A few days ago, Even the whole street is full of people who bring their daughters to the interview.

The interview, of course, was also arranged by Zhu Yuan, and the Nuan Niang who had been appointed before was in charge, and only the smartest girls were selected.

No way, the space is limited for the time being.

When the new city area under Chenshan is gradually built, the school will no longer be a problem.

Moreover, Zhu Yuan does not intend to limit himself to this in the name of cultivating female doctors on the surface. In the future, he will train some in various professions and fields.This is still based on a simple concept that used to be, women are half the sky.

Just let go as much as possible, in the future, it will be a lot of labor.

Ok……

What an entrenched qualified capitalist.

After seeing the boys in the compound, they turned to the next door, and when they reached the door, they were stopped by two women. Although they were all little girls, except for a few old teachers who were teaching, it was still inconvenient for men to come in and out at will. However, Recognizing that it was Mr. Ying Haisi, the two women immediately fell to the ground.

Zhu Yuan asked the two to get up, and Gu Zi entered the door.

The courtyard was much smaller than before. When I came to the courtyard, I immediately heard a different crisp sound of reading.

Looking around, I noticed that there were two maids guarding a classroom. When I walked over, the two servants had already saluted on their own initiative.

own.

It can also be imagined in the classroom that she is Nuan Niang.

Zhu Yuan came to the window and looked in. The Nuan Niang in front of the hall was teaching multiplication formulas, and the maids in the hall were all sitting upright, but it seemed that they were much more serious than those boys in the yard next door.

Nuan Niang quickly noticed Zhu Yuan, nodded slightly, and found two more middle-aged people appeared by the window, she was a little panicked, silently suspended the lecture, took the veil from the table next to her, put it on, and resumed.

Wu Liang and Hu Weiyong didn't know Nuan Niang's identity, and they were a little surprised at first glance, not only because there was a female gentleman here, but also because... this female gentleman is really good-looking.

Zhu Yuan still lay down by the window and listened for a while, and when he left, he smiled and signaled to the hall: "I'm a woman, isn't she pretty?"

Hearing what Zhu Yuan said suddenly, Wu Liang, who was still looking at the hall, turned his head quickly.

Look no further.

Hu Weiyong also withdrew his gaze, and bowed his hands to Zhu Yuan.

I just couldn't help thinking, this little boy...in the anecdote that came out of Jinling City... Anyway, that rumor seems to be true.

The woman in the classroom must be 30 years old.

Leaving Dinghai Elementary School, now that we have arrived, we turn to Mingzhou Shipping Department, Chang Bao is not there, and go to Chengnan Wharf, Zhu Yuan prevents the officials from calling for help, but takes the two of them to look around, and talks about the market. The operation of the ship department also allowed the officials to take two copies of the "Daming City Ship Law" that was still in the interim stage, and ordered the two to study it carefully in private.

When they come to the place in the future, the Shibo Department is also the object of their focus.

This is a great source of income for Yinghai Division.

Then he left and rushed to the Yinghaiwei station in the east of the city.

Hu Weiyong didn't say that Wu Liang's military power was stripped to the end by Old Zhu. Zhu Yuan hoped that even if Wu Liang was transferred to a civil servant, he could also handle some military and political affairs. After all, he was a veteran with more than ten years of fighting experience. No, it's a bit of a waste.

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu was so straightforward.

Zhu Yuan can only admire his ancestor's decisiveness once again, just like Liu Ji before, since he has made up his mind, he intends to continue from the beginning to the end.

Zhu Yuan also felt sorry.

This time, there is a high probability that Liu Ji will be like Zhu Sheng, and will not leave too many imprints in future generations.Zhu Sheng, who proposed the famous nine-character strategy of "building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and proclaiming king slowly", will resign in the next two years because of his old age.

Perhaps, if Daming persisted in his sea camp strategy, Liu Lian's reputation would surpass his father's in the future.

Thinking about it now and then, it's not bad.

Good gathering and good separation, beginning and end.

It's better than forcefully pulling Liu Ji out and being poisoned to death again.

However, the current historical deviation is already large enough, Zhu Yuan feels that even if Liu Bowen comes out again, he will not repeat the same mistakes.Just like Hu Weiyong who once ordered the imperial physician to poison Liu Ji to death, now, he came to his side.

Zhu Yuan could understand Lao Zhu's thoughts.

Hu Weiyong is also from Dingyuan, belongs to the Huaixi Clan, and took refuge in Lao Zhu early on. Although he has been a civil servant all these years and has no military merits, he has been conscientious and worked hard to become the former third-rank Taichang Temple Minister step by step.

For no reason, Lao Zhu couldn't directly pull Hu Weiyong to kill because of Zhu Yuan's "Book from Heaven".

What's more, Lao Zhu should also understand that Hu Weiyong is just an introduction after all.Behind it is the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power, and even the conflict between the royal family and the civil society. If some changes are not made and only one Hu Weiyong is dealt with, Ma Weiyong and Liu Weiyong will appear in the future.

Therefore, the moment Lao Zhu saw "Book from Heaven", Hu Weiyong's fate had already changed, and it was impossible to have some chances.

Of course, it is impossible to completely rest assured.

So, Lao Zhu threw him over.

Zhu Yuan felt that it was probably because he had performed so well in the past few months, so that his ancestors felt that he could add some more burdens to the child.

Grandfather, I thank you!
Camp Triton station.

As for the other two, the lower officials must of course cooperate with the upper officials' schedules, and even if they don't have direct military power in their hands, the two want to carry out battalion and sea affairs, and they must work closely with the local garrison cooperative.

For this reason, Zhu Yuan specifically asked about the situation of the guards in the south, mainly Quanzhou Guard and Guangzhou Guard.

According to Lao Zhu's previous arrangement, all coastal guards are under the jurisdiction of the Navy Governor's Mansion.This order is actually a bit vague, just like the previous Huaian Wei.However, Quanzhou Wei and Guangzhou Wei definitely have no objections.

Zhu Yuan also intends to take care of the cooperation between the two guards and the sub-division.

Zhu Yuan's military position is the commander of the battalion and sea guards. In theory, he can't intervene in the affairs of the other two guards, but the captain of the navy can.

The truth is...

The captain of the navy can do it, and the battalion envoy can too.
