"So who of you is willing to work with me to overcome this difficulty and contribute your own strength to the glory of Ming Dynasty?"
"I!"
"And I!"
Different from the three-minute popularity of chicken blood that has been watched too much, these craftsmen have never heard of this kind of thing, nor have they read similar articles.
This is the first time they have heard such passionate words from the bottom of their hearts. Now Zhang Qixin’s blood for these craftsmen is enough to inspire them for a long time!
"Well, people like us who dare to dedicate everything to the cause of Ming Dynasty are exactly what our Ming Dynasty needs and what His Majesty expects!"
"Here, I, Zhang Qixin, assure you that as long as we can complete His Majesty's tasks on time, each of you will definitely receive His Majesty's praise!"
"Even your wives and children will receive preferential treatment from Ming Dynasty. No one in this world will look down on us anymore!"
Zhang Qixin stood on a table and spoke heartily, infecting everyone with his words and passion.
At this moment, he seemed to have found something that he had always been willing to do but had not done. Among thousands of people, he attracted the attention of thousands of people, guiding everyone's thoughts to follow him!
It seemed that Zhang Qixin was the protagonist here. Even Mr. Feng behind him couldn't help but applaud and was deeply affected by this young man.
Before, my thinking was too narrow. What kind of bank president? This is Your Majesty's trust in me. How could I think of making huge profits from it and betray His Majesty's trust in me? I really deserve to die!
He couldn't help but repent in his heart, and vowed that from now on, like Zhang Qixin, he would devote himself wholeheartedly to the development and construction of Ming Dynasty.
I must never have the dirty thoughts I had before. If I want to be more angry, I will resign and go home, because I really don't deserve to be in this position!
Even Zhu Gaoying did not expect that Zhang Qixin, who had returned from western Sichuan, was not only a science and engineering genius who was good at calculations, but also a natural speaker!
If this guy were allowed to live in an era of war, or in a country suffering from hunger and cold, he might have left a mark in history!
"Okay, after everyone finishes their work today, let's go eat and drink to our heart's content with Mr. Feng. Tomorrow, we will follow me to study the steam engine!"
"yes!"
…
"Su Wu, you came just in time, I was planning to have someone call you over!"
In the imperial study room, Zhu Gaojing had just finished reviewing the memorial in front of him when he saw Su Wu coming towards him.
"Okay, stop saluting, who of us is going with whom? Didn't I tell you about these red tapes? There's no need for it when it's just the two of us!"
Zhu Gaotian quickly called Su over.
"Then I will thank Your Majesty!"
It's easy to get used to it, but there should still be some rules, otherwise it will break the etiquette between monarchs and ministers.
"Oh, I know what you are thinking just by looking at your face. You scholars are really...those rules are dead, people are alive. Just do whatever I tell you. Don't listen to what's in the book.
Got it!"
The emperor's concubines were not allowed to participate in political affairs. Zhu Gaojian couldn't stand this, so he directly gave the queen the right to discuss political affairs.
"Your Majesty, these things are not something you can change just because you want to..."
Su Wu was a little dumbfounded. His Majesty is indeed like an emperor, but he is the most unlike an emperor!
In terms of etiquette, Su Wu had nothing to do with Zhu Gaojing.
Who made someone the emperor?
"Okay, I won't tell you these useless things. Come with me to the back mountain to see how the cultivated potatoes are doing!"
Although winter is coming soon, the temperature has dropped, and various plants growing in this season would have been frozen to death.
But His Majesty thought of a wonderful way to allow these plants to grow even in winter!
On this point, Su Wu also sincerely admired Zhu Gaoyan, because His Majesty's imagination was so far beyond the present.
"Wei Chen obeys the order. It just so happens that Wei Chen also plans to go and take a look at the greenhouse built by His Majesty!"
In this way, the two of them walked all the way to the back mountain.
Both of them were young and strong, so it didn't take long to get from the royal study to the back mountain.
"Hiss, Your Majesty, the glass you fired seems to be comparable to some high-quality colored glaze!"
The simplest and fastest way to build a greenhouse in winter is to burn glass.
However, due to the technological level of the Ming Dynasty, the temperature for firing glass could not reach very high, and it was also difficult to remove impurities contained in the sand.
"Yes, it seems that the process of making glass is becoming more and more proficient. I hope that by next year, I will be able to make completely transparent glass!"
Zhu Gaoyan remembers that the first batch of glass produced at the beginning of the firing was colorful inside and had an uneven surface. Even the light transmittance was not as good as a thin piece of rice paper.
However, as the number of refining times increased, more and more impurities in the sand were removed, gradually producing a series of glass that was turbid in color but had a translucent effect.
The greenhouses in Houshan are built with this kind of glass mixed with turbid impurities.
"See Your Majesty!"
Near the potato planting base, Zhu Gaoyang sent heavy troops to patrol and watch out for lawbreakers at all times.
After all, the valuable thing here is not just potato seedlings, but also glass.
It would be a trivial matter for those ignorant Jiangyang Dao to sneak in and steal these glasses, but if they smashed his potato seedlings, it would be a big deal!
"Don't worry about me, you can continue patrolling. I just brought Mr. Su here to take a look!"
"yes!"
After overcoming numerous defenses, Su Wu and Zhu Gaoyan finally reached the interior of the greenhouse.
“It’s so hot in here!”
As soon as I entered the greenhouse, I felt the heat wave coming inside.
"Your Majesty, the temperature here may be comparable to that in summer!"
"yes!"
Zhu Gaoying was also very happy. When he used that batch of very turbid glass before, the temperature inside could only make people feel a little warm at best, but not as hot as it is now.
"With this kind of greenhouse, after breeding potatoes this year, we can grow all kinds of off-season fruits and vegetables next year!"
"Next winter, the palace will be able to eat decent fresh vegetables, instead of eating the wilted ones transported from all over the country, and there is no need to eat the ones frozen in the basement!"
In winter, fresh vegetables are so nostalgic!
"Your Majesty, I think that by next year, the output of this glass will be enough to build hundreds of greenhouses!"
