The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 102 Laboratories and Advertising
Longnan Longwei Army's garrison, Zhu Linmi's general camp.

Zhu Linmei handed dozens of drawings to Song Yingxing, and told him: "Mr. Song, among these equipment, you can buy them directly from Fanshang. For the other [-]% that you can't buy, you have to bring the craftsman yourself." The production must be accurate, and don't care about the cost."

"Students, remember." Song Yingxing hurriedly bowed to take it, and then carefully opened the drawing, only to see that the name on the top one was "thermometer".He has only seen this thing in Western books, but this is the first time he has obtained the specific drawings.However, unlike the common thermometers in later generations, since there is no vacuum tool, the top of this thermometer is open.

The following drawings include: balances, alcohol lamps, evaporating dishes, test tubes, beakers, pressure gauges, stirrers, magnifying glasses, prisms, etc., and even a complete set of drawing tools such as rulers, compasses, and vernier calipers.The method of use is also marked next to each drawing in detail.

These experimental equipment were drawn by Zhu Linmi in the past half a month using the gaps between the casting cannons. For this reason, he also went through all the physical and chemical experiments he had done in high school in his mind.Although there must be some omissions, but if all these equipments are prepared, then the laboratory of Gezhi Academy under planning will be the top in the world.

Especially in chemistry laboratories, their counterparts in the West are still using alchemy, and they don't even have the concept of "chemistry".

"I'll give you 1 taels of silver first, and if it's not enough, you can pay it directly from the account of the iron yard." Zhu Linming took out another letter and handed it to Song Yingxing, "When Mr. Song arrives in Ganzhou, take this letter." Send the letter to the Minister of Political Affairs, and hand it over to Chief Minister Zhang Canghai, Mr. Zhang. The construction of Gezhi Academy will be much easier with his assistance."

In fact, after buying a large number of weapons this time, Zhu Linmi only has more than 4 taels of silver left in her hands, but the matter of building a school cannot be delayed any longer.Science and technology is also a kind of military strength, the sooner you start cultivating talents in this area, the better for Ming's future.

"Students will live up to His Highness's trust!" Song Yingxing was very excited and saluted very solemnly.The Europeans are very clear about the precision of weapons and the altruism of guns.He has sighed many times, if Daming also has the skills of the Westerners, how can the Jianlu have the opportunity to burn the Central Plains?
This time, His Royal Highness Chen Wang vigorously established the Gezhi School, which is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to face up to the laws of all things, and to refine the craftsmanship of craftsmanship. In the future, the Gezhi Study will far surpass the Western countries.He, Song Yingxing, was able to personally participate in such a grand event, which was simply a blessing in his life.

When Song Yingxing left with the mission of "rejuvenating the country through science and education", Hong Si, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried into the room.

After seeing the ceremony, he first reported in detail the operation of the Mission House.Now Ganzhou Prefecture has fully implemented missionary work, and more than half of the counties in Fuzhou and Jianchang have established missionary offices.The prefectures in northern Jiangxi have been handed over to Tian Zhuangfei, and they are recruiting and educating officials and preparing for government offices. It is expected that they will start to operate within a month.

Zhu Linmin nodded in satisfaction. In fact, he had already heard that the Mission Office's work in various parts of Jiangxi had achieved remarkable results.Especially in Jianchang Mansion, under the strong appeal of missionaries, it took less than half a month for the refugees scattered everywhere to return to their homes and start normal production and life.

This is simply a miracle in the Ming Dynasty without television and radio!Generally speaking, it is not slow to fully resume production three months after the end of the war in one place.

"The recent publicity focuses on potatoes and sweet potatoes." Zhu Linmi first handed a few pieces of paper to Hong Si with detailed information on these two crops. .There is also the preferential treatment clauses of the imperial court for planting these two crops, which must be repeatedly explained in detail.”

"Subordinates, remember." Hong Si had heard Zhu Linmi briefly introduce these two miraculous crops before, and immediately cupped his hands.

He hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Your Highness, there is one more thing. If you want to spread the mission in northern Jiangxi, I'm afraid the money will be spent..."

Zhu Linmi frowned slightly. Although a missionary office doesn't cost much, at present most of Jiangxi will have a missionary office. Although the local county government will provide some funding, he still needs to invest more than 5000 taels a month to maintain it. .

If there is more investment in northern Jiangxi, he shakes his head in his heart, and can no longer allocate it from military expenditures. He did not expect that the construction of "CCTV" in the Ming Dynasty would cost so much money.

CCTV?When Zhu Linmei thought of this word, her eyes suddenly lit up.yes!It is also a propaganda agency, isn't the Mission Office exactly the same as the TV stations of later generations?How does the TV station work?Advertise!

He thought for a while, and said to Hong Si: "You can send people to contact merchants from all over the place, and tell them that the Mission Office can help them promote their stores or goods after the performance.

"The missionaries contact more than tens of thousands of people from various religions and nine streams every day. At the end of each mission, they only need to mention a little bit, and the shops and goods of these merchants will quickly spread their reputation. In this way, you can charge these merchants a little money, and they Definitely willing."

He thought for a while, then continued: "Tentatively set three taels of silver per month for each merchant, and Xuanjiao will read a manuscript within [-] words for him after the performance."

Hong Si's eyes widened. He had never thought about this novel method, but after careful consideration, not only did it not have any adverse effects on the missionary work, but it could also easily earn money.

He roughly calculated that as long as each mission can receive commissions from two merchants, the monthly expenses of the local mission office will be self-sufficient.

"However, we must pay attention to reviewing the manuscripts of the merchants, and they must be consistent with the real situation, and we must not damage the reputation of the Xuanjiao Mansion." Zhu Linmi warned again.

"Subordinates, remember!"

After arranging the work of Song Yingxing and Hong Si, Zhu Linmi boarded Luo Mingshou's warship and headed for Nanchang City along the river without any further delay.

……

The muscles on Jin Shenghuan's back tensed up, and a heavy panting sound came out of his nostrils, and the carved pear wood bed of hundreds of kilograms shook slightly with his arrogant movements.

Under him, a young woman with messy hair and sideburns was already half unconscious, and she just let out a few screams subconsciously.

For more than a month, he has been too angry!Only the unceasing screams of the woman under him could give him a brief peace of mind.

After a while, the poor woman had completely lost consciousness, Jin Shenghuan picked her up and threw her out of the house, shouting: "Change for another one!"

A gust of cool wind blew by, reminding him of the situation at this time and place last year, and a burst of desolation rushed into his heart.

At that time, what a sight he had as Zongbing Jin!How many young ladies from high-ranking officials and dignitaries lined up outside waiting for him to ask for anything, and those women were willing to do anything for him with just one look from him.

Times have changed, and now Nanchang is surrounded by water, and people in the city are in panic.If he didn't have more than ten thousand troops in his hands, who else in Nanchang would look at him straight? !
It is the same room, but now he has to rely on robbing, there is only a woman on the bed, and she is so beautiful, it would be ugly to sweep the floor for him before.

"Zhu Linming!" He looked out of the window resentfully.
