I'm really not doing business

Chapter 132
Daming has many ingenious skills.

For example, since the end of Zhengde, when salt wells were opened in Jiazhou, oil and water were occasionally obtained, which could shine at night, and several wells were opened recently, and the lawsuit was the main one.This is the customs and customs written by Liu Xian, the general soldier of Sichuan, to the emperor. It is about drilling wells in Sichuan to extract oil;

For example, there are four types of smallpox vaccination against smallpox, the pox clothing method, the pox pulp method, the dry seedling method, and the water seedling method;

For example, using different varieties of silkworms to hybridize to produce Jiazhong and four breeding methods;
For example, the jacquard loom and flower spinning wheel with precise structure and difficult to imitate;

For example, the sugarcane press is a vertical double-roller press using the principle of inclined planes;

For example, Fujian uses refining methods to turn sucrose into brown sugar and then into white sugar;

For example, Zhu Yijun used a hard sail to find the reasons behind these phenomena by cutting out cross-sections.

But these are all skills, born from science without a system of sub-disciplines, always knowing what it is, not even knowing why it is, let alone knowing what is inevitable.

Mechanical tricks are hated by Confucianism. Confucianism as a whole is extremely conservative, extremely conservative, that is, more conservative than conservative. Therefore, Confucian disciples will be alert to any changes immediately, and will not wantonly promote them. They don't bother to study, but are all branded with various shackles such as scheming, haste makes waste, strange skills and ingenuity.

In the third generation of Fa, the advocacy of antiquity was particularly prosperous, and even after Xiaozong, who was regarded as a betrayal of the sages, was regarded as a betrayal of the sages, the scientific development of the Ming Dynasty became difficult even to breathe a sigh of relief.

Afraid of wolves in the front and tigers in the back, hesitant to look forward and backward, not only must reform the law to obtain taxes and taxes in a pragmatic way to solve practical problems such as military pay, but also must guard the ancestors' established laws, and also conform to the Confucian king's etiquette. Yes, how can there be so many beautiful things in the world?

When the hydrofoil sailboat model made by Zhu Yijun was sent to Songjiang Shipyard, Guo Rulin, Zhao Shizhen and other shipyard general offices didn’t take it seriously. After reading the notes, Guo Rulin and Zhao Shizhen reproduced the test of the side hall of Wenhua Palace. Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Based on my knowledge and understanding, it's hard for me to understand a ship sailing against the wind, let alone sailing on the sea surface." Guo Rulin stared blankly at the model in front of him, floating under the wind and current. sailing.

The four hydrofoil sailboats based on the concave-convex surface of the hard sail made it difficult for Guo Rulin to understand. Isn't this thing really the Taoism of Emperor Zhenwu?

The emperor of the old Zhu family has always claimed that he is the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu. This is a kind of political propaganda based on the stability of the country. No one will take this matter seriously under the political correctness of the child.

However, the flying ship still hit Guo Rulin's indestructible cognitive world with a hammer and shattered it.

Guo Rulin was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing. He was first awarded the official department to Shizhong. In the 40th year of Jiajing, he supervised the construction of the second ship of the Ming Dynasty. What I saw and heard included major events such as the ceremony of conferring the king, crossing the ditch to sacrifice to the sea, and so on.

Daming’s Fengzhou is made of thousands of materials, with an aspect ratio of 5.77:1. This kind of boat is already the limit of Guo Rulin’s imagination. It is the Hongmaofan who is good at sailing. The Hongmaofan who can travel across the ocean to Daming is not so big. The boat, and it is a boat that can sail in all directions and enter the water more than one foot and four feet (4.39 meters).

Songjiang Shipyard, ambitiously hopes to build a ship that breaks through the cognitive range of everyone, so that the little emperor can open his eyes and see the strength of their craftsmen.

The imperial court not only granted the new five-masted plywood to overtake the Fengzhou, but now also decreed to supervise the construction of a hydrofoil sailboat.

"I'd rather believe that Your Majesty is the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu than believe that this thing flew by itself." Xiao Chongye, a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing, flicked his sleeves. He would rather you believe in ghosts than believe that ships can fly.

"Why don't you try to make one?" Chen Lin, the deputy commander of Songjiang Town, was gearing up for this thing. With this thing, he would fly to Manila and from Songjiang Mansion to Ryukyu. It might take less than five days.

The route from Daming to Ryukyu is very mature. After all, the kings of Ryukyu have been canonized by the emperor of Ming Dynasty for generations. This is a real need for canonization.

Zhao Shizhen, who is the deputy general manager of the second official of Songjiang Shipyard, said enthusiastically, "I think we can try to build one."

"Your Majesty gave 6 taels of silver to specialize in the construction of hydrofoil sailing boats." Zhao Shizhen specifically named the emperor, who was not short of hungry soldiers, and gave a full [-] taels of silver to be responsible for the development and manufacture of this fast sailing boat.

6 taels of silver can support the Quanchu Guild Hall for a full 120 years, and the Songjiang Shipyard is very excited. This is a rare wealth of the imperial court.

Yu Dayou and Wang Daokun whispered a few times, and said seriously: "Then let's supervise the construction with all our strength."

"Your Majesty said that if it is not built well, there will be no punishment. It's just that I am a little disappointed with Daming's skilled craftsmen."

In the imperial decree, Zhu Yijun specifically said that there would be no punishment if it could not be built. After all, it was an exploratory project, and the money would be spent as soon as it was spent, and the emperor would only be disappointed.

For Songjiang Shipyard, which has a production capacity of thousands of materials, this hydrofoil sailboat, which can only be called a small sampan, was built on the third day, and it fell apart in the afternoon of the third day.

It fell apart, not capsized.

The mast, keel, horizontal and vertical balance wings were all torn apart, and the huge torque caused the boat to fall apart within less than [-] feet.

The strength of the material is not enough, which is the first problem they face.

The principle is the principle, and the practice is the practice. From models to ships, there are too many problems to be solved.

Chen Lin went ashore, thought it over for a while, and based on his own punting experience, he said: "I think the support frame of the sail should be made of iron bars. The sail has obvious deformation, or it is made of steel bars. The mast and keel are also strong. Not enough, it can’t bear this kind of twisting at all, the sail has a huge force to the right and rear, and the vertical balance wing will twist to the left and front, the wood must not be able to withstand such a strong twist.”

Zhao Shizhen thought for a while and said, "Then try using steel and iron bones."

The second boat was built very slowly, and it overturned directly after it was launched into the water. The balance wing was still not strong enough, but the boat sailed smoothly to sixty feet. This time, Chen Lin got a piece of driftwood to hold and waited for the boat. Come to pick him up, I have no strength, the boat is too tired to support it.

Soon, the skeleton of the horizontal stabilizer became a wooden shell with steel bars, and the vertical stabilizer changed from one to four, one at the bow, one at the stern, one on each side, winch, sail winch, compass, and iron nails Connections, nailing and reinforcement, splicing mortise and mortise structures, stitching of hemp tung oil oyster ash wood, etc., all the technologies that can be used in the Songjiang Prefecture Shipyard have been used.

In May, the ship finally stumbled out of the harbor, made a circle, and then entered the harbor smoothly.

"It can only be said that it is barely sailing, but the difference from flying is too great." Guo Rulin looked at his record a little bit, and he was really helpless. There are wind pills and water pills. It is not difficult to calculate the ratio of wind speed and sailing speed Thing is, their hydrofoil sailboats have a wind-to-speed ratio of two to one, and travel at half the speed of the wind.

It seems that this is already the limit of Songjiang Shipyard. All the technologies have been used to build a ship, let alone fly. Never met the target.

Wang Daokun asked quite peacefully: "Are you going to give up? Sure enough, His Majesty will be disappointed. What a pity, there are more than 3 taels of silver left, but that's all."

Yu Dayou looked at Wang Daokun expressionlessly, this was just adding salt to the wound, but Yu Dayou knew that Wang Daokun was only using something called the aggressive method, and he still had 3 taels of silver, so at least he spent all the money.

Xiao Chongye looked left and right and said, "There are more than 4000 shipwrights in our Songjiang Shipyard. Why don't you ask them? The shipbuilders selected from Nanya, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong are all veteran craftsmen. We can't solve the problem." Problem, why not post an announcement? If you can solve a problem, you will be given 100 taels of silver."

"What are you looking at me for?"

After Xiao Chongye finished speaking, everyone looked at him, and muttered in a low voice: "Master said: sensitive and eager to learn, don't be ashamed to ask questions, so it's called literature. We are indeed scholar-bureaucrats, scholars, farmers, businessmen, but we don't understand , why don’t you ask policy about work?”

"No, no, no, you found a good solution!" Guo Rulin overjoyed and grabbed Xiao Chongye's shoulder and said, "One's own views are limited, but everyone's wisdom is infinite!"

"Okay, okay, post the list immediately!"

Xiao Chongye found a method, which can speed up the solution to the problem, and it is an effective brainstorming method. They specialize in art, and they are good at reading, but after all, they are half-way monks. experience?
Soon, a new round of transformation began again, and this time the speed of transformation continued to accelerate. In just one month, the hydrofoil sailboat changed drastically, and the speed became faster and faster.

The small sampan is still a small sampan, but it is completely different from what it used to be. Chen Lin is riding a hydrofoil sailboat on the surface of the sea, advancing rapidly on the sea. A white water curtain was stirred up behind him, and the bow of the boat was constantly ups and downs with the changes of the wind and sails. Finally, when the strong wind was coming, the bow of the boat was raised, and the whole body of the boat began to float on the water. above.

The horizontal fixed wing is changed to "∽". No matter where the wind comes from, the fixed wings on both sides will go deep into the water to improve the balance force, and the vertical fixed wings on both sides of the fixed wing are also changed from symmetrical to asymmetrical , reduce the torque of the sail and the fixed wing, and further increase the speed.

"Hahahaha!" Chen Lin laughed wildly and steered the sailboat freely. The boat actually floated on the water.

"Oh!"

The ship disintegrated again, and Chen Lin was thrown out, flying far away like a cannonball, hitting several floats on the water surface, and plunged heavily into the sea. Not long after, Chen Lin hugged The driftwood floated out of the sea, and although the ship disintegrated, he knew that it had been successful.

When the sea water is sailing at high speed, it will become harder than iron. When hearing the creaking of the hull in the waves, Chen Lin loosens the fixing rope, prepares for a strong impact, and waits for the disintegration Sure enough, when the wind weakened slightly and the bow of the boat fell into the water, the boat immediately deformed and disintegrated.

And Chen Lin hugged the driftwood, thinking about the last question, the improvement of the bow.

The craftsmen of Songjiang Mansion have already reminded that the speed of this boat is so fast, it will definitely fall apart when it plunges into the water. Gradually lean, sloping waterline, transitioning to a narrow round tail for sailing.

The next day, the new hydrofoil sailboat was pulled out of the shipyard and a new aerial survey began.

Chen Lin, who had been thrown to the ground yesterday, still refused to let go of the joy of sailing, and went out to sea again on the flying wing sailboat, and this time it was a stability test.

This kind of small boat is cheap to build, and it is extremely easy and simple to improve. It will be gradually improved in further tests.

But ships that can fly, ships that can completely exceed the wind speed when facing the wind, have indeed appeared in the docks of Songjiang Shipyard.

If the stability test is passed, the further HNA test is from Songjiang Shipyard to Tianjinwei, which is expected to arrive in one and a half days. On land, it will take [-] days to travel from Songjiang Mansion to Beiya. It will take two days to get to Nanya.

In terms of information, Songjiang Mansion will be closer to the capital of Beiya.

If this kind of hydrofoil sailing boat could be used to build a network of sentry ships in the offshore, then the Ming court's decision-making on coastal Japanese pirates would be faster.

Information is power.

Therefore, Songjiang Shipyard spared no effort to improve this small sampan. How to make it faster is the top priority for every shipbuilder in Songjiang Shipyard.

While tossing the hydrofoil sailboat in Songjiang Mansion, Da Ming's three-masted plywood giant began to launch. This kind of warship from Taixi disappointed the generals of Da Ming when it was launched.

Its combat effectiveness is not as powerful as in the description. Six ships breaking through two hundred ships is probably an exaggerated description. The victory in the war should not be attributed to armaments alone.

In Yu Dayou's view, naval warfare is nothing more than a big boat defeating a small boat, a big blunderbuss defeating a small blunderbuss;

This ship is big enough and has enough artillery, but it has a fatal problem, that is, it can only be deployed near the port and cannot sail far away.

Moreover, the accuracy of the artillery in the turbulent waves of the sea is also a problem. According to the description in Hong Maofan's documents, in fact, it relied more on arrows and side-to-side combat to win the victory. The artillery was more like a deterrent.

There is a problem with the power of this three-masted plywood ship. This kind of ship is a type of ship that uses oars as the basic means of propulsion, that is, a certain number of oars are equipped on the hull and a certain number of paddlers are equipped. Suitable for large ocean voyages, even going to Luzon is difficult to do.

This giant three-masted plywood ship in the Songjiang Shipyard has 24 pairs (48) of oars and 144 oarsmen. A giant ship relies on the way the crew paddles the oars at sea, and it may still be able to guarantee good performance in offshore waters. However, it is somewhat impractical to rely on this method for driving on ocean voyages.

But it is not completely meaningless, and it is not worthless. It broke the inherent shipbuilding design of Ming Dynasty and became the first ship equipped with artillery in Ming Dynasty. The battleship of Ming Dynasty is about to embark on a new design idea. From then on, the battleships of Ming Dynasty will have heavy artillery that can damage enemy ships and destroy the enemy's vital forces. The cabins will have gunpowder storage and ammunition design, and there will also be soldiers called ship gunners on board.

A new combat system is taking shape, which is the transformation of the navy into the navy.

Although the idea of ​​this kind of naval warfare artillery seems relatively crude, because of the problem of range and accuracy, ships equipped with artillery can only approach the enemy before firing, so basically there is only a chance to "fire a shot", and then there is a boarding battle. Jump on the enemy ship to capture the enemy ship.

However, the development of artillery and ships will inevitably open a new era, an era with a brand-new maritime combat system, which is coming and will inevitably come.

Yu Dayou was very convinced.

Luo Bingliang has been very busy recently, busy checking accounts and collecting taxes.

In the process of taxation, Luo Bingliang discovered a very interesting thing, that is, taxation is a matter of cost and gain. This is the basic principle of taxation. Yes, the tax collector will not ask the small people to check the tax.

Take the breakfast shop in Nanya as an example. For stores that sell less than 20 taels of silver a year, according to the tax law of [-] cents, only one tael of silver is taxed. Moreover, these stores usually have no accounts, which requires a lot of manpower I went to calculate the material resources, and finally found that the tax collected has not invested much, isn't this nonsense?

Taxation also requires cost, and the cost is extremely high.

Checking accounts requires a large number of accounting offices proficient in mathematics, tracking, urging, visiting, and clarifying the acres of fields, etc. all require a lot of manpower. Let the big family go to collect it.

Whoever has the money will receive it.

Within a month after the tax invoices were issued, no one went to the Nanjing household department to pay taxes. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty also took it for granted. You just hold a tax invoice and want to play with the rich and powerful who have been invading for 200 years. Honestly hand over the white money to the court, daydreaming!

According to the number of acres of fields clarified by Song Yangshan Qingzhang, in the bright May, Luo Bingliang issued a total of 130 reminders, ordering to pay back the tax owed since the first month of the third year of Wanli before the end of May.

This is the first warning. If it is overdue, you will receive a reminder ticket for the second warning. If you do not pay, there will be no third time.

The 130 reminders, totaling more than 140 million taels of silver, the Daming Tax Office does not intend to recover the debt, the past is over, the tax office was not established at that time, and the tax office was only established by the tax office All future taxes owed.

And this kind of reminder ticket has an even more terrifying name in Nanya, the reminder.

The Gu family in Kunshan was directly ransacked by Tiqi Luo Bingliang, causing the nobles and powerful men in Nanya to remember the fear of being dominated by Tiqi for the first time in 150 or four years.

In the 26th year of Hongwu, Emperor Gao of Ming Taizu noticed that Jin Yiwei was abusing his power, and acted as a favor, removed the investigation power of the Zhenfu Division, and handed it over to the Sanju Division for trial. The power of detective work was restored, and the nightmare came. In order to limit Jin Yiwei's favoritism, Ming Chengzu established Dongchang again.

So far, Quan Hao's nightmare, the factory guards have come into action, rampantly, the factory guards specifically target the powerful officials.

In the 19th year of Yongle, Ming Chengzu moved the capital to Beiya. Since then, Fusi Yamen in Nanzhen has become more and more quiet, because it is too far away from the emperor, and it is almost idle. However, Luo Bingliang’s copying of Gu’s family has awakened the painful memories of powerful and powerful people. .

The urging talisman was distributed to various households, which immediately aroused widespread discussion, and each tax invoice had a specific amount to be paid.

Luo Bingliang received the news that this group of nobles, gentry and powerful men had gathered to discuss countermeasures again. The place of the meeting this time was Chongzheng Academy.

The head of the Chongzheng Academy was Geng Dingzhi, the inspector and censor during the Jiajing period.

In the 41st year of Jiajing, after Geng Dingzhi was transferred to Nanjing to supervise the school, he saw the quiet environment of Qingliang Mountain, so he chose the east foot of the mountain, and built a hall with three entrances.

This orthodoxy is exactly the orthodoxy of Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind, as Mr. Wang Yuyao said of his conscience, Yangming's philosophy of mind is the orthodoxy.

The theory of conscience is to combine knowledge and action into conscience, remove the unity of knowledge and action, remove the study of body and mind, remove experience and practice, remove knowledge but not action is just the unknown, and focus on the mind as reason, irrationality outside the mind, nothing outside the mind, It is a betrayal of Mr. Wang to talk about conscience only.

The court has a very high evaluation of Wang Shouren, highly agrees with his knowledge, and looks down on his disciples very much, even dismisses them. They have learned crookedly, and they can't even be loyal to themselves. , Talk about conscience?
But it is such a weird and betrayal of the source of knowledge that is now the mainstream of Nanya, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Juzheng's contradictory theory is a heresy.

Chongzheng Academy is built according to the mountain situation, divided into front, middle and back. The first hall and the second hall are connected by corridors on both sides, with cornices and tiles, flowing water, and green trees around the small lake, quiet and elegant;
Between the second hall and the third hall are bluestone steps, climbing up the steps, a piece of green, on the east side of the steps there are winding corridors, rockery, pools and other landscaping;

The third hall is the commanding height of the academy. On a piece of Taihu Lake stone, the words Zhengqi Zhengxue are written on it. Standing in the third hall and jumping far away, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery in a radius of hundreds of miles.

At this time, Geng Xingxing was holding the contradictory theory in his hand, and he was amazed, and the contradictory theory in his hand was the hardcover version of the contradictory theory bought by Sanjing Factory in Nanya Huangzhuang. The content was complete and completely expressed. Zhang Juzheng's cognition of the principle of infinity.

Geng Dingzhi really can't imagine what kind of mental state Zhang Juzheng was in to complete such a great work. Although it only has tens of thousands of words, every word and every word seems to contain all the infinite truths in the world.

"Guangzu, I think it's better for us to pay taxes." Geng pointed his hand on the contradiction, and said somewhat imprecisely: "Maybe, maybe, Yuanfu is waiting for us to make things big, the best The way is to wait for Yuanfu to die, and when he is alive, we should not resist."

The person sitting opposite Geng Ding is Lu Guangzu.

Lu Guangzu was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, and he was on the same list as Zhang Juzheng.

When Gao Gong overthrew Xu Jie, Lu Guangzu was implicated as a member of the Xu party. In the sixth year of Longqing, Gao Gong was dismissed, and Yang Bo recommended Lu Guangzu as the servant of Nanjing. Originally, Lu Guangzu was going to Beijing to be the minister of Dali Temple Flying to the top is just around the corner, and Yang Bo recommended Lu Guangzu to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

This is the Ministry of Quan, the heavenly official who is in charge of hundreds of officials, promotes and deposes the power of life and death.

But he hadn't entered Beijing yet, he walked halfway back to Ding You, his hometown, and stayed in mourning for three years, so there was no chance for him to make a fortune.

Lu Guangzu's roots are deep, and he has deep ties to Jin Dang, Zhang Dang, and Zhe Dang. Isn't he better than Zhang Han who has no background and only knows his promise?But Ding You is the greatest political correctness after Xiaozong, and Lu Guangzu can only return to his hometown.

As a result, Liang Menglong and Zhao Mengyou were also robbed of love, which made Lu Guangzu feel unwilling. He was also a little disappointed with Zhang Juzheng. Everyone was on the same list. Since he could be robbed, why couldn't he recover?
It really works.

In March of the third year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng wrote to him to prepare for his recovery. Sun Piyang, the minister of Dali Temple, was the one who shouted to draw lots to appoint officials. Zhang Juzheng made Lu Guangzu ready to return to Beijing to serve.

Lu Guangzu was not the one with the best legs among cripples, Lu Guangzu's legs were good.

Lu Guangzu thought for a while and said: "Yuanfu is 51, Your Majesty is 12 years old. You also read the contradiction and said that your Majesty and Yuanfu can't be said to be ten like, at least eight or nine points. Now I pay it. In the future, I'm afraid this tax , I have to keep accepting it, Yuanfu is gone, and His Majesty is still there, so when will we have to wait?"

Lu Guangzu joined in the fun because he wanted to bring two people in, one was Song Yangshan, the governor of Yingtian, and the other was Luo Bingliang, who was punished by Jin Yiwei and a tax collector.

There are some secret codes for this kind of assembly to defy the imperial court’s prohibition. For example, if you ask: the ultimate goodness is the essence of the heart, you can answer: the heart without selfish desires is the law of heaven; Make spring with the fragrance of flowers and birds; or revise a word in the biography and study records, or simply make some unpopular poems.

Luo Bingliang found Lu Guangzu, hit it off immediately, and brought everyone in.

Luo Bingliang and Song Yangshan, most of the powerful people in the South Yamen, knew each other well, but the two of them disguised themselves, and replaced the silk and satin with coarse linen and short brown. One servant and one staff member, no one paid attention to the two of them. Who would have thought that How could a Tiqi wearing a flying fish suit and a scholar-bureaucrat wearing a regular third-rank crown belt spoil himself like this, wearing rough linen and short brown, and pretending to be a servant?
Before Lu Guangzu came, he had already paid all his family's taxes and taxes. He just watched the excitement and fanned the flames. Now the tax office urgently needs a chicken to kill, so that he can kill the chicken as an example to the monkeys.

"Shan Zhang, most of the gentry and country sages have arrived." Jiao Hong walked in and bowed his head.

Jiao Hong is Geng Dingzhi's direct disciple, and all affairs of Chongzheng Academy are handled by Jiao Hong.

Geng Ding walked into the theater building, looked at the crowds, and said in a vibrating voice: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet."

"I won't talk nonsense. I will meet friends today. I have invited everyone to come. Just one thing, the tax office. This tax office is really a crime! It is a clever name, and it is a poor country. Tax! It can be described as sucking marrow and drinking blood!"

"Zhang Juzheng attaches too much importance to wealth, regards people too lightly, takes money too carefully, allows people too little, only bribes to hear about it, His Majesty is deceived by him, we must find a way to let His Majesty see Zhang Juzheng's face clearly!"

Regardless of whether Zhang Juzheng petitioned for the Tax Office or the Tax Bureau, or His Majesty the Emperor personally decreed it, both inside and outside the Ming Dynasty would regard it as Zhang Juzheng's idea.

Zhang Juzheng also did his part, this bad guy, he'll just do it.

　Flying fish suit is a second-grade bestowed garment, most of which can only be worn by the emperor's confidantes. Ordinary royal guards do not have flying fish suits to wear.The flying fish suit is not a painted fish, but a flying fish pattern, which resembles a python, with fins, a turtle tail, and two horns.Thanks for the 1500 point reward from "Da Da Kang Wang", thank you for your support and recognition, please ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
