Chapter 81

In the war of words on the sixth day of March in the first year of Chongzhen, because the spraying was too devoted, there was not much energy to spray it again. The next discussion was relatively simple and "regular".

A few things, seven or eight, will be finished soon.

It's time for Yang Reform to perform.

……

"My dear friends, I am very curious about the overlord holding a tripod. How can one person lift a tripod? Is this tripod very small?" Yang Reform just said this nonsensically.

The officials below are confused, why talk about the overlord?What does it have to do with what happened today?Does the emperor want us to have the force of an overlord?Can one pick a hundred?Some ministers blushed, the emperor is humiliating us!

……

The following ministers are all brainless, I don't know what this means?Is it going to be a moth again?
"..." Yang Reform was speechless, the ministers were so uncooperative, you should ask me why, they are all standing upright like this, how can this play continue?
"...that Aiqing, can you lift a tripod like an overlord? Lift a thousand catties with your strength?" Yang Reform came straight to the point.

All the ministers below were so ashamed that they shrank their necks into their collars. They only hated that the collar was too short, so they should make it longer next time.The emperor is saying that we have trained our bodies, and with martial arts, we can defeat a hundred in court. This is a slap in the face and humiliation for us.

……

For a while, no one answered. Today's matter was a cold one, and Yang Reform was surprised. Why didn't anyone speak out?
"..., what happened to all the lovers today? Why don't you talk?" Yang Reform was puzzled, did he win the "Tianwu Baolun" collectively?Are you speechless?There was no big move in today's battle!

……

Another moment of silence.

A minister couldn't stand the emperor's "humiliation" anymore, and said in grief and indignation: "Your Majesty, please don't humiliate the ministers anymore, I know I was wrong, it really shouldn't be tearing up in this court, it's unseemly, I also ask your majesty to punish me, don't use words to humiliate me and others... I am ashamed..." The minister said that he was ashamed, and he looked like a big brother forgiving his life.

It was only then that Yang Reform realized that they thought that what they said about the overlord lifting the tripod meant that they wanted them to exercise their bodies and martial arts well so that they could take advantage of the melee in the court.

Yang Reform almost fainted. The imagination of this group of ministers is too rich. I can swear that I never thought of humiliating them.Of course, it is useless to humiliate them with the overlord raising a tripod.

"...cough cough..., Aiqing is really worrying too much. What I said has nothing to do with the previous thing. I can guarantee this." Yang Reform hastily came out to make a guarantee.If you don't speak, the show will be ruined.

Didn't you humiliate us with the overlord?The ministers were beating drums again, what's the matter?

The minister who just couldn't stand it anymore and came out to defend himself asked weakly, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"I ask you, do you have the ability to overlord lift a tripod?"

"..." The officials were speechless. This time, it wasn't because they were humiliated that they were speechless. In fact, no one has the ability to overlord us. We are all weak scholars.Even if there are some generals, they dare not say that they have that ability. If the emperor wants to lift the vat outside the hall by himself, wouldn't he smash himself to death?
"Why don't the lovers talk?" Yang Reform wondered, why didn't they cooperate today?
"We really don't have the ability to lift a tripod!" A minister simply spoke on behalf of others, and the others were happy to be represented by others.The officials are quite depressed, does the emperor want to see others hold a tripod for him?

……

Yang Reform couldn't do it, so he had to say to Wang Chengen: "Brother, bring that thing in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen turned around and went to arrange for someone to carry the emperor's "treasure".

A group of ministers whispered below.Talk about what new things the emperor has this time.

After a while, a few little eunuchs came in carrying something "yo ho", "yo ho", the thing was quite high, but fortunately this hall is also quite high, otherwise, an ordinary house would probably have to reach the top It was covered with a large piece of yellow cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

Uncover the cloth, inside is a large round wooden stake, with a seat board and a bracket at the bottom, and a crossbar on the top, and some things are hung on the crossbar.

What is this?All the ministers looked around and talked a lot.

"Is there any dear one who knows this thing?" Yang Reform asked triumphantly.This is the crane that Yang reformed Baidu, and he planned to use this thing to abuse the elites in the court.

"Report to Your Majesty, this thing is a 'rope system'." A minister came out and played.

"'Rope system'? What does this mean?" Yang Reform wondered, this thing is a crane that he worked so hard to get from Baidu, using the principle of pulleys to save force, the "high-tech" made by you, how can you say that What "rope system"?

"Aiqing, can you explain?" Yang Reform didn't know what he meant, so it's better to ask him to explain himself.

The minister was also unambiguous, and said: "Your Majesty, this thing is called a 'rope system', and it is a pulley for lifting heavy objects. I wonder if what I said is correct?"

"Rope system", pulley, Yang Reform did not understand, but he understood a lifting heavy object.The meaning is very clear, this thing is used to lift heavy objects.

Yang Reform originally thought that people in ancient times didn't know about cranes, but he didn't expect someone to know about them!Yang Reform also had to look at ancient science and technology differently.

"Does Aiqing know how to operate?" Yang Reform planned to test this person.

The man didn't refuse, and went up immediately, pulling one end of the rope, the pulleys turned for a while, and the other end of the rope hung the big iron mound, which was pulled upwards slowly by the man.

Seeing such a big lump of iron moving up, the other ministers all exclaimed: "It's so powerful."Thinking to myself, this XX is also an old friend, why didn’t we know that he has such great strength, look at the iron block, I’m afraid it must weigh hundreds of catties, just such a person pulled him up, the strength is really great .

Yang Reform sat on the dragon chair and said "yes" three times in a row.Yang Reform planned to use this crane to open the eyes of these people and shock their thinking, but he did not expect that among these people, there were some people who knew the goods and could use them freely. It seems that in the Ming Dynasty, hidden dragons and crouching tigers , A lot of talent!

"...The overlord's lifting of the tripod that I said is actually the intention. I often think about it. If you have the strength of the overlord to lift the tripod, if you use it to move bricks and repair houses, it will definitely be faster..."

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words came out of his mouth, the officials almost died of laughter. The Overlord held up the tripod. If you ask him to move bricks, it will be faster to repair the house. If the Overlord knows, he will definitely vomit blood.

Seeing the uncontrollable laughter of the ministers below, Yang Reform suddenly realized that there was something wrong with what he said.Yang Reform was ashamed, and changed his words again: "Actually, I thought, if everyone has great strength, then, wouldn't it be quite fast to build a house... Don't you think so?"

Some ministers were about to roll with laughter, and finally held back their laughter, they came out and played: "Qiyuan is better than Your Majesty, indeed, those who are stronger can repair houses faster. It is said that Xue Rengui has the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, and he can do dozens of things by himself." Personal work..." After finishing speaking, the minister covered his face with his sleeve and smiled secretly.

Yang Reform was sullen. He originally wanted to use the "high technology" of cranes to enlighten these ancient people, but he didn't expect to be laughed at by them.It's really depressing enough, and I blame myself for not finding out the history of this ancient science and technology. I didn't expect that there were people who knew the goods in the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Reform thought about it for a second, and came up with an idea again, saying: "A few days ago, I was thinking about things outside the Liaodong Pass. To defend against the Eastern captives and Jin's attack, I would definitely build fortresses and cities, and I would definitely use bricks and stones. I thought about how to quickly It’s better to build the city, otherwise, if the city is half built, it will be attacked by the Eastern Captive Queen Jin, wouldn’t it be a dilemma?”

When Yang Reform remembered Sun Chengzong on Baidu, he introduced Sun Chengzong because when the two cities of Dalinghe and Youtun were built in the next few years, halfway through the construction, Houjin discovered the attack, and the rescue was not effective, and the two were beaten. This incident not only caused Sun Chengzong to step down, but also led to Zu Dashou's first surrender, and also led to a further decline in the morale of the Ming army, and it became the virtue of running away when seeing wild boar skin. Being flanked and defeated badly had a great impact on the situation in the late Ming Dynasty.Yang Reform was in an emergency, so he brought up this matter as an excuse.

Not to mention, when the emperor said this, the ministers below all consciously changed their colors. From laughing at the emperor just now for making the overlord move bricks, they respected the emperor. What a good emperor this is!For the affairs outside the customs, he worked hard day and night, thinking about countermeasures, he was really a model emperor.

This incident had the greatest impact on Yuan Chonghuan. He is the governor of Liaodong appointed by the emperor. In the future, everything outside the customs will depend on him. Now the emperor talks about the fact that the city was built too slowly and was attacked by the Eastern captives. This is likely to become a reality. At that time, the rescue was not effective and the two sides were not happy, which was likely to cause further defeat of the Ming Dynasty. This was a very serious matter that must be taken seriously.In fact, what Yang Reform is talking about is a historical fact, but it hasn't happened yet.

Yuan Chonghuan also came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think this thing is really useful. In the future, outside the Liaodong Pass, a city will definitely be built. First, it can guard against the invasion of the Eastern captives and gold, and second, it can rely on the city to gradually encroach on the east. Empress Jin,...if the city was not built in time and was besieged by the Eastern Empress Jin, the consequences would be disastrous..."

Yuan Chonghuan has finally matured after being tortured many times on the sand table by Emperor Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong, and the emperor would immediately agree with it if he reminded him a little.

It turns out that the emperor was not joking, and asked the overlord to move bricks, but he was talking about the war outside the Liaodong Pass. He is really a good emperor, a holy lord, and a wise emperor. It really shouldn't be for us as ministers to laugh at the emperor. It's really embarrassing for us.Many ministers blamed themselves in their hearts.

Yang Reform, the Chongzhen Emperor, was also depressed. He originally wanted to abuse the elites of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect to be beaten back and ridiculed. I'm afraid, today, I will be in tragedy. [I just found out today that after the revision, the picture seems to be able to move around, or was it possible to move it before?Anyway, today is the first time to move a picture into the text.Hehe, it's much more convenient this way. 】
