September 9th, the day before Zhu You’s second morning court appearance as the school supervisor.
Last time I told the officials what I would discuss next time, and the officials have been thinking about how to deal with it these days.
The disposal of Dongchang, Jinyiwei and Jingying is already progressing. The rebellion will be reorganized and new appointments will be announced, as well as the pro-military rebels will be formally sentenced and the families of the rebels will be dealt with.
However, the following issues make officials feel very difficult to grasp.
King Fu was not involved? How should we deal with it?
Wang Anjiao issued an edict to establish the fifth son of the emperor. What is the current situation of the fifth son of the emperor?
People from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were arrested and many of their homes were ransacked. What should we do with the Wucheng Military and Horse Division and Shuntian Prefecture?
The Ministry of Industry is similar. I heard that in the past few days, it has traced project funds from the Ministry of Industry over the past ten years, and that it has embezzled nearly tens of millions of taels.
The people in Liaodong are not optimistic either. I heard that Xiong Tingbi was impeached before and now he has resigned...
There are many other big and small things, but these heavyweight events are uncertain, and everyone feels uneasy. It's like there is a sword hanging above their heads, and it may fall at any time.
Some people even think that the Wanli period was quite good. There was nothing going on above. If you don’t look for trouble, and don’t get targeted by officials, everything will be fine.
These people actually felt it themselves, and the Beijing camp eliminated redundant soldiers with great fanfare. From now on, when the Beijing police eliminate redundant officers, it will be their turn.
It's a worry in my heart.
However, Zhu Youxiao knew the mentality of officials very well through the Sixth Department.
Don't worry, the redundant soldiers are not unemployed. They can make money later by investing in industrial upgrading.
As long as redundant officials play their role like Zhu Chunchen and Zhou Jiamo, there will be plenty of places for them to shine.
He doesn't think anyone is really redundant, but the placement is not right. He just needs to screen and adjust it.
It's like holding a copy of "Mozi" in your hand. Who would have thought that one-third of the content in it was written now~
As for the Mohist inventions, they did not force anyone to come up with them, but first let the prisoners use their brains to reduce their sentences.
This time we discussed these thorny issues, but next time there will be even more issues that officials will struggle with.
Only those who can shift the objects of confusion are efficient officials.
Just like Zhou Jiamo, does Zhu Chunchen worry about himself?
Very worried.
They passed this worry on to the rebels and corrupt officials.
What if someone passes it on to farmers or ordinary people?
Easy to handle~
There are already examples of redundancy in dealing with rebellions. We also need to create a few examples of dealing with weak and bad officials, as well as officials who engage in exaggeration and make false reports.
Guess what reward they will be given?
Nanchang exercises and provides food and accommodation~
The big policy has been designed, but in fact many policies and reforms need to be implemented in detail.
This time the arrangement between King Fu and Brother Youjian involves the future of the clans in various places. It needs to be a good start, a direction that can save a lot of money and land, mobilize the power of the clan, and make most people in the world applaud.
Such a big thing has happened to King Fu, so he needs to be asked to return to the capital to protect him, so as not to be exposed outside and be directly exploited by others. When he returns to the capital, he will not be afraid of his activities. His parents' family is involved in a rebellion and the house is confiscated. Who will have close contact with King Fu? There are four million acres of land tax in Henan, as well as a very luxurious palace. These properties were kept by him for now but handed over to the royal family for direct management. In the future, they will still distribute dividends to Prince Fu.
The key is the direct operation of the royal family, that is, Zhu Youxiao started to operate it, and now another 4 million acres of fertile farmland have been acquired.
If you just do this, other clans will definitely be very vigilant.
Later, King Fu must applaud this policy so that the other kings can rest assured and be willing to cooperate with their reforms.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the rebellion and King Fu, it would be difficult to start the next step of reform from the clan.
After thinking about these general directions, he rubbed his temples and relaxed a little.
"Finally I have time to make some inventions."
He started writing directly, and soon he wrote and drew several pages.
"Call Liu Ruoyu."
Zhu Youxiao blew the content he had just written to make the ink dry faster.
After a while, Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and eunuch, arrived.
While shaking off the ink, he asked: "What's going on with Father and Mother Li?"
"Your Majesty does not plan to attend the morning court tomorrow. The imperial concubine has been with you to take care of you. They are all reassured by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said that they can just tell them afterwards."
Liu Ruoyu was still a little moved when she said it.
After so many years, the atmosphere in the palace has always been a bit tense. Wanli and now Taichang have a mediocre relationship between father and son. Concubine Zheng has a very deep relationship with Wanli, but she and the prince seem to be inseparable.
The old people in the palace are used to being in the tense atmosphere of the royal family. Seeing Taichang now, the family relationship between the prince and Concubine Li is like an iceberg seeing the rising sun, and they are moved.
Zhu Youxiao sighed, thanked Taichang and Li Guifei for their trust, and then handed Liu Ruoyu the content that the ink had just dried.
"Newly written, tomorrow as part of "Mozi", I will talk about the wonderful uses of biogas and steam."
"Biogas and steam?" Liu Ruoyu was a little surprised. He looked at the content and thought about it carefully and seemed to think of something.
"It seems that Li Bing in the pre-Qin Dynasty built a "fire well", and Jia Sixie's "Essentials for Qi Min" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties also recorded something similar to biogas. This kind of gas can be burned for lighting and heating."
Zhu Youxiao nodded. Liu Ruoyu is indeed the third famous literary eunuch after Feng Bao and Chen Ju. He thought of it so quickly. However, Li Bing's one is not sure whether it is natural gas or methane, but it is estimated in "Qimin Yashu"
That’s it.
"That's right. In that case, add a little more content to "Mozi" and say that the Mo family discovered that biogas could be used in Bashu. In this way, other officials will contact Li Bing, and no one will think that it was written by me.
”
"This slave obeys the decree." Liu Ruoyu knew very well that great wisdom is like foolishness. It is said that Mozi discovered this matter, and Li Bing applied it, so it is true.
Zhu Youxiao directly advanced the discovery and application of biogas by more than two thousand years, and listed many examples in the annals of history. No matter how you look at it in the future, it will be true.
"Also, by linking biogas and steam, using biogas to drive water vapor, and using steam to drive machinery and gears, production will be much more convenient in the future."
"Your Highness is right. This servant doesn't understand. Everything is up to your arrangement."
The principle of the steam engine is easy to understand, but it is very difficult to promote it. The biggest difficulty is that the fuel is still very expensive at this time.
Historically, after the invention of the steam engine, charcoal could not meet the supply, which promoted the great development of the coal industry. Coal was mined for steam engines, and steam engines were widely used in mining and underground drainage to expand mining and provide more fuel for steam engines. p>
With sufficient coal, steam engines appeared in various sizes and were used in many fields such as railways, navigation, and production.
This time Zhu Youxiao will give you some biogas first.
In the early stage, biogas was used as the main power source for civil steam mills.
