Chapter 139: The Lord

After this incident. Wu and Bi's fame increased again.

In particular, Wu Hebi insisted on leaving Beijing under the fierce retention of Zhu Qizhen, and did not accept any official position and luke, which pushed Wu Hebi's reputation to a higher place.

If it is said that Wu and Bi were still Northern Xue and Southern Wu at the beginning, now they are famous all over the world.

Zhu Qizhen had to give out 100,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury to build Chongren Academy and write a plaque. After Wu and Bi returned to their hometown, they still taught in the academy, but this academy is no longer what it used to be.

At the beginning, the academy was just a few acres of thin fields, and it was dismal to operate. And after Zhu Qizhen's reward of the academy, even the Chongren County Order did not dare to be rude in the academy.

Belin also came from Zunhua to send Mr. south.

Needless to say, it's not lively.

After all, Wu and Bi became the great master of science, and they were also the last great master of science. Without him, the rift discovered by Zhu Qizhen was also discovered by Wu and Bi themselves, but in the next ten years, until his death, he did not know how to bridge the gap between the two.

Therefore, soon after Wu and Bi died, his Dao system was divided into several parts.

Several factions have spawned. And Belin's branch combined with a lot of practical learning to form her own thoughts, which is a later story.

After this turmoil, Zhu Qizhen once again knighted Belin and discussed it with the cabinet.

At this moment, the cabinet can't stop Belin from being knighted.

Wu and Bi's article raised Belin's development of the steam engine to this point. What is a mere title? This is the search for the truth for the people of the world, and this credit cannot be greater.

Although many people, including Liu Dingzhi, have some disapproval of this statement.

It's just that Wu and Bi's article is impeccable. And Zhu Qizhen also nodded in support, even if he was the first assistant of the cabinet, Liu Dingzhi couldn't do anything.

It's just that Liu Dingzhi was silent, but Guo Deng had something to say.

Guo Deng said: "Your Majesty, Zu Xun cannot be knighted unless he has military merits. The non-ministers are unwilling to obey the edict, and now Your Majesty has worked hard for so many years to have the current military prestige, and Your Majesty is willing to destroy it in one fell swoop? ”

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "Could it be that if I seal a title, the imperial army will not be able to fight." ”

"Don't dare." Guo Deng saluted and said: "What Your Majesty wants to do, the minister never dares to say a word, but the embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in the anthill." Only one person is sealed today, what will happen tomorrow? Please think twice. ”

Guo Deng made Zhu Qizhen have no temper.

If what Guo Deng said doesn't make sense, that's it. But Zhu Qizhen himself knew that although Guo Deng was the spokesperson of the Xungui Group, what he said was very reasonable.

Improving the gold content of the title is what Zhu Qizhen has been doing. As long as they cherish the name, the soldiers will feel that this title is valuable, otherwise just like Nanming, this title is not worth it at all

money, if you have three melons and two dates, you can be crowned a marquis, and if you have a little more power, you will be crowned king. That's unorthodox.

Zhu Qizhen is really not good at pressing hard, otherwise he will only disappoint the army. This kind of thing that hurts his prestige, Zhu Qizhen doesn't want to do it.

Seeing this, Liu Dingzhi came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Bei Lin has merit, he should not be awarded the title of military meritorious. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he immediately understood that the focus of Liu Dingzhi's sentence was on the military merits, since there are military merits, there are also non-military merits. He asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Dingzhi said: "What Yingguo Gong said is not unreasonable. Belin's merits should not be mixed with military merits, it is better to set up another civil lord and reward Belin. In the future, no matter how meritorious as Belin is, it will be rewarded. ”

After Zhu Qizhen heard this, he secretly muttered for a while, thinking that this method was good.

What he wants is not necessarily to be knighted, but to show that he values Belin. And the establishment of another civil lord naturally reflects Zhu Qizhen's importance to this matter. Let the world also know that from now on, there is another way between the world, which can change the door and soar.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Okay, let's do it." However, Belin always has to be promoted, so let's set up the Imperial Court to order Belin to preside over and manage the world to be edicted. For my advisors. ”

Zhu Qizhen's long-brewing thing finally came out.

Zhu Qizhen has been sealed for so many years, and there are already hundreds. This is already one of the burdens of the inner treasury, because the name of the edict is paid, and it can be as little as hundreds and thousands.

These people are the world's top technical masters, in all aspects, carpenters, blacksmiths, boatmen, builders, jewelry masters, water conservancy specialists, etc., are in every industry, can achieve the pinnacle of existence.

This academy is the Academy of Sciences in Zhu Qizhen's mind.

Of course, although these people are the top masters in each industry, in general, they can't get rid of the category of craftsmen.

But Zhu Qizhen believes that under Wu and Bi's theory, there will be many people who will transform from craftsmen to scientists.

And Liu Dingzhi was also very shocked.

He was worried about nothing else, just the word adviser, without him, at the beginning of the establishment of the cabinet, it was only an adviser to the emperor. He asked with some hesitation, "Your Majesty, the words of the advisor." Isn't it a little too heavy. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "It's okay. Is it clear to listen to both? ”

As soon as Zhu Qizhen's words came out, Liu Dingzhi suddenly didn't dare to speak.

It seems that Liu Dingzhi spoke again, deliberately deceiving Shengcong. Immediately, Liu Dingzhi felt that he was too worried.

Without him, who are these edicts? Liu Dingzhi also knows that they are just some craftsmen, how can they interfere in national affairs. In the face of a strong emperor, on top of the big festival, you have to hold it, but on top of some small details, don't be hard topped.

After all, the edict itself is existing

In.

There are even officials who have been impeached, and Zhu Qizhen's extensive use of Zhongguan is not a blessing for the imperial court.

Yes, most of these edict-pending officials are officials who do not pass through the cabinet, that is, the so-called middle officials, or oblique officials.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen never paid attention to it.

These edicts have been able to exist until now, and now they are just one more edict court.

Zhu Qizhen didn't want to be entangled with Liu Dingzhi in this matter. The Imperial Court is a sharp weapon prepared by Zhu Qizhen for the inner court. Zhu Qizhen hopes that in the future, he can use the Imperial Court to contain the Hanlin Academy.

Of course, this is only a long-term plan.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sir quickly went to the cabinet to discuss the matter of the people, and Bei Lin's reward was delayed a little too long. ”

Liu Dingzhi immediately obeyed: "Yes." ”

Under the supervision of Zhu Qizhen, Liu Dingzhi's efficiency is not fast, but in one day, the matter of the civil lord has been finalized.

When Zhu Qizhen saw it, he only felt that the cabinet was perfunctory.

In order to show that the lord is different from the lord, this lord is not hereditary.

Zhu Qizhen didn't think there was anything wrong with this, to be honest, Zhu Qizhen actually had some dissatisfaction with the hereditary title of the Ming Dynasty, but the interests involved were a little too great, and the army was Zhu Qizhen's basic plate.

Welfare can never be added but not subtracted, and Zhu Qizhen naturally can't move.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen rarely holds hereditary titles, and generally speaking, they are all liujue.

Then he said that in order to show the difference between the lord and the people, the people could not use American words. Place name number. It is directly divided into three grades, the first class male, the second class uncle, and the third class marquis.

There are also many reductions in various treatments for the nobles.

But on the whole, this civil lord is discounted compared to the military merit, but it can't be said that the treatment is too bad.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it and stopped arguing with the cabinet.

After all, the goal has been achieved, and many things don't matter in the details.

He asked Wynne, "Is Belin in Beijing?" ”

Huaien said: "When Mr. Wu left, Master Pei went to send it, and now he should be in Beijing." ”

Zhu Qizhen said lightly: "Biography." ”

Wynne immediately agreed.

About an hour or so, Belin hurried over.

When Zhu Qizhen saw Belin, he immediately got up and helped him up, and said, "Sir, why should you be polite? ”

Belin felt flattered for a while, and said, "The old minister is ashamed. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Speaking of which, I'm sorry for you, and the reward has been delayed. ”

Belin immediately said, "Your -------"

Zhu Qizhen interrupted Belin's words with a smile and said, "Now that the reward for Mr. has come down, Mr. might as well take a look." With that, Jean Wynne handed the fold on the table to Belin.
