"I can open an information section about the Ming Dynasty, so that those who like the Ming Dynasty can have a place to ask questions, and then you can help answer them. You can ask questions for free, or you can consider partially free of charge. In this way, I think it will be a
A means to attract popularity.”
Liu Weichao said with a little regret in his heart, but it was a pity that he could not tell anyone. It was Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty who answered the questions. Those who asked the questions really made a lot of money!
Emperor Chongzhen did not think about whether he had time, but he immediately felt that there were many ways to help Liu Weichao. He felt that Liu Weichao was no longer unilaterally crushing his knowledge, so he agreed immediately.
After chatting like this for a while, Liu Weichao hung up the video call and began to seriously conceive of the application software he wanted to develop; and Emperor Chongzhen finally walked out of the room.
As soon as he went out, he was surprised to find that it was already evening. He couldn't help but thought to himself: "Why does this time fly by so fast?"
People outside have already spent their time waiting. Of course, if they can be impatient, they will definitely be impatient. But obviously, they are not qualified.
Zhou Yuji was not impatient, but rather surprised. He could faintly hear that Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be talking to someone, but when the door opened, he didn't see anyone.
What a strange thing!
Emperor Chongzhen stepped out and immediately ordered Gao Shiming, the eunuch of the glass factory, to make two accounts. One of the accounts, which was realistic and realistic, was only provided to him for his royal inspection; the other was to double the cost and be shown to outsiders in the future.
of.
Then, he set a wholesale price that was twice the apparent cost. This means that if those wholesale merchants get the goods and resell them, they should be able to make about twice as much profit based on the current market price.
.
Later, Gao Shiyue was asked to prepare as soon as possible and increase production. If he could make a variety of glass products, he would be rewarded heavily.
After giving the instructions privately, Emperor Chongzhen also asked him to see who among the craftsmen was smarter. Then he summoned these craftsmen and personally asked several questions about glass research and development, and finally selected a craftsman.
Coincidentally, the selected craftsman was the young craftsman who raised the question for the first time, named Sun Erxiao.
Emperor Chongzhen said to him with a smile: "I have decided to teach you a secret glass technique, and you will be responsible for making it. Are you willing?"
As soon as he said these words, Zhou Yuji, who was already looking a little dazed on the side, was even more dumbfounded.
Because he found that the emperor in front of him was very different from what he remembered.
To put it bluntly, Emperor Chongzhen’s attitude toward those civil servants in the past was not as good as the emperor’s attitude toward these craftsmen today!
Although Emperor Chongzhen said some things in a low voice, such as instructing Gao Shiyue about cost accounting, Zhou Yuji still listened to most things in the glass factory.
Different, really different!
At this time, Zhou Yuji suddenly realized why the craftsmen here were so different!
At this time, he heard again that Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be very proficient in making this glass, which surprised him even more.
When did the emperor become proficient in glass?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately thought of the late emperor, the elder brother of the current emperor, who was proficient in carpentry.
Thinking this way, he felt relieved.
Besides, Sun Erxiao was naturally overjoyed when he heard what Emperor Chongzhen said.
Because in this way, he is the emperor's disciple, the emperor's student!
It would be strange if he didn’t agree to this kind of thing!
So Emperor Chongzhen whispered to him the key parts of the Hooke microscope, no, it should be called the Chongzhen microscope now.
Then, he explained to him the basic knowledge of optics in front of everyone.
I don’t know if it was to discover more people who were talented in optics, but he spoke a little loudly, and without being impatient, he patiently explained to them, and finally said: "The Avatamsaka Sutra says, one flower, one world.
After this microscope is built, you will be able to see how many things are in the transparent water we usually see!"
Having said this, he turned to look at Zhou Yuji and said with a smile: "Generals and officers in the army must ask them to boil the water before they can drink it. There are also wound inflammation and so on, which are all related to this. You should also pay attention to it. I
Let’s take a look at the situation and I’ll talk to you about this later!”
Needless to say, Emperor Chongzhen's words immediately shocked the people around him.
This made them feel that the emperor was really very knowledgeable and knew so many unimaginable things. It was amazing, amazing!
Of course Emperor Chongzhen saw their expressions, and felt quite proud of them!
It's just a pity that it will get dark soon, and I can't continue to show off the knowledge I learned from Liu Weichao, so I have no choice but to leave and that's it for the time being.
The next day, the news spread continuously, shocking both inside and outside the court.
The first thing is that there is finally someone in command of the Jinyiwei. It is Li Ruolian, the original commander of the Jinyiwei. This personnel appointment is not unexpected. After all, he is someone who has been promoted from the Jinyiwei Yamen.
What is surprising is that the people arrested by Xichang will be handed over to Jin Yiwei for interrogation. Although Xichang can send people to observe, it will ultimately weaken some of Xichang's powers.
Many officials believed that their impeachment had an effect and that the emperor finally gave in.
However, they were certainly dissatisfied with this, and wanted to take advantage of their victory to pursue the case. They all petitioned and demanded that if the official was really guilty, as long as it was not a serious crime of treason, he should be tried by the three judicial departments.
Also, the East Factory should also follow the same procedures as the West Factory.
In response to this, Emperor Chongzhen became furious. Relying on his status as emperor, he asked the civil servants who was the emperor and who had the final say? He also made it clear that after the Dongxi Factory investigated, if there were no problems with the three law departments, he
That’s why you’ll consider this!
In the future, whoever wants to mention this matter again has a guilty conscience, and he will ask the stuff factory to investigate him strictly!
This shocked the civil servants on the spot, and no one dared to take the lead when Emperor Chongzhen was furious. The original chief minister, Zhou Yanru, was the best unlucky example.
Emperor Chongzhen also learned the lesson and released news about glass products. Immediately, many officials and royal family members were very happy, and they all regretted that they had paid less money.
As long as you resell the glass products, the profit will be several times higher!
For this reason, many officials diverted their attention and began to quarrel over the purchase rights of glass products, lest the shareholders who had priority purchase all the glass products.
As for the generals, all of them were jealous: Zhou Yuji has been knighted!
Once these two things happened, the civil and military officials were no longer monolithic. At least the officials who were worried about things at the East and West Factory, only those with the most guilty consciences, were still trying to figure out how to deal with it.
As for other officials, they were either thinking about making more money from glass products; or they were thinking about how to please the emperor and see if they could also get a title.
Emperor Chongzhen saw all this and was very happy in his heart.
He finally felt that the court situation was finally beginning to be truly controlled by him! And of course he knew that all of this was due to Liu Weichao!
