Chapter 124: The simpler the business, the easier it is to do

That's where senior scientists come in.

In general, scientific research cannot be independent.

If you find a scientist, you're likely to find a litter of scientists.

This is where Xu Guangqi comes in.

Yun Zhao had never heard of Jinnige, but John Tang! Yun Zhao still knew.

Although he was a theologian and an astronomer, this did not prevent the Manchus from using him as an artillery expert.

The Chinese are pragmatic, and although the astronomical calendar is important, during the war, an artillery specialist is even more important to the country.

In order to gain some knowledge from the West, Xu Guangqi could join the Church of Jesus, which was a compromise he personally made to gain knowledge.

In order to gain some knowledge of artillery, the Manchu rulers could promise John Tang a high official and missionary facilities.

In order to make the cannon in his mind appear as soon as possible, Yun Zhao is also ready to make some compromises - such as kidnapping Tang Ruowang!

According to the experience of dealing with scientists in later generations, talking well with scientists is purely self-inflicted!

In particular, scientists who are really capable are surprisingly consistent in their attitude towards the government - they don't treat officials as human beings!

After inspecting the temperature-controlled greenhouses built by Yun Zhao and the farmers, a rigorous agronomist found that Yun Zhao had built his own greenhouses without the consent of the patentee, and planned to expand them in the village.

In order to encourage Yun Zhao's behavior, he poured a cup of tea on Yun Zhao's face, and then sued Yun Zhao's behavior to the higher government, and threatened to see him in court.

The higher-level government apologized to the experts, made up the patent fees, and severely criticized Yun Zhao's behavior, of course, mainly to criticize his stupid behavior of finding experts to find technical support for the rural soil law greenhouse.

Since then, Yun Zhao has seen scientists generally walk around.

Faced with a theologian and scientist, Yun Zhao felt that he couldn't invite this person in the usual way!

And kidnapping is undoubtedly the most convenient, direct, and possibly effective way.

The people of Xi'an all know that six years ago, there was a blonde and blue-eyed alien Jinnige who built a temple in Lianhu Lake, called Peter's Hall.

Two years later, when he became seriously ill, he was replaced by a Jesuit priest named John Tong, and with the financial support of Jinshi Wang Zheng, it was enlarged, and the temple was called the Church of Our Lady of God.

Despite his kindness, the priest often gave some food to the homeless children, gave them some clothes, and even took the homeless children to stay overnight in the church.

He didn't leave a good reputation.

Mainly many people in Xi'an think that this alien with a big beard and red hair and green eyes is a good eater, and those little beggars never came out after entering the church......

As a result, John Tong's missionary work progressed surprisingly slowly, and even the servants he recruited were reluctant to follow him to Jesus.

"Shaoshao, do you believe in Jesus?"

Yun Zhao asked if there was little money.

Qian Shaoshao said: "Does the young master think I should believe in Jesus?" Of course I can trust if I need to! ”

"How about believing in what Jesus taught you?"

"It's not impossible, the main thing is to see if it's important or not, if it's important, my sister will believe it very religiously."

"Where's Yun Yang?"

"It's a bit difficult."

"Yun Juan, Yun Shu, Yun Fei, Yun Shu, what about them?"

"You can believe it, if you don't believe it, the young master will believe it when he beats them, does the young master want to believe it?"

"I'll forget it, if I believe it, what will happen to a bunch of ancestors in my family? Who sacrifices? ”

"How many years are we going to believe in this thing?"

"Until my ideal gunpowder and cannon come out, it's up to you, and maybe you'll love to trust Jesus in the future."

Qian Shaoshao smiled, he felt that the young master's words were getting more and more boring now.

"There is a stone tablet in Jinsheng Temple, remember to get it back for me."

"What kind of stele?"

"Great Qin Jingjiao Chinese Popular Monument!"

"Ah, Jinsheng Temple may not be allowed! You must refuse to give alms to Jinsheng Temple, how can we get that tablet back? With a robbery? ”

"Send some homeless people to Jinsheng Temple, you should be able to bring this tablet back, right?"

"Okay, I'll let Gao Jie get it, his mind is more active, the young master said before that he would kidnap a Fanbang monk, who will get it?"

"You and your sister should take someone there, but you will have to wait until the church on the Jade Mountain is built.

In the future, we are going to have a lot of monks here, and it is not good to have a suitable temple, I have asked Mr. Feng Qi of Yushan Academy to preside over the construction, fortunately, the stones, bricks, wood, craftsmen are ready-made, and the craftsmen in Xi'an City who are responsible for building the Tianyi Church are also there, and the residence can be repaired in about two months, and the hall should be built in half a year. ”

Qian Shaoshao looked at Yun Zhao and said, "Since it is our sister and brother who are out of the house, it is a deception rather than a kidnapping, isn't it?" ”

Yun Zhao looked at Qian Shaoshao and smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said: "I only need people, and there will be many Fanbang monks in the future, I don't want their gods, I just want the knowledge in their stomachs."

We Ming look down on KitKat pornography, but we don't know that many so-called KitKat pornography are very useful to us, and those Fanbang monks have reached a very high level of research on KitKat pornography. ”

Qian Shaoshao nodded and said, "Okay, since it's not hard, then you need to give me a little time." ”

Yun Zhao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Whatever you want, I will tell you first, I bought some Fanbang slaves in Haojing, and I will arrive in Yushan in two months, and when these people arrive in Yushan, I hope that this Tang Ruowang can stay in Yushan with peace of mind." ”

"Young Master, what are you going to do?"

"Yushan Academy can't only have our sinology, there should also be some western studies."

"Western studies?"

"You don't understand it yet, you'll know in a few years, go ahead and do your thing."

Yun Zhao rarely does some specific things now, and for now, the Yun clan handles things very well.

It is enough for these people to govern one state and one county.

The biggest thing in Lantian County is still to grow grain, even if Yunzhao wants to open a commercial port, there must be a bulk commodity like grain to cover it, so that Lantian County can become a real commercial port.

No agriculture, no stability, no business, no wealth, these eight words Yun Zhao understands too profoundly.

Wu Fu's 100,000 taels of silver could only buy 20,000 quintals of grain at market prices, but fortunately, all he paid was official silver, and there was no loss of fire consumption, so this business could still be done in the end.

Wu Fu was also extremely helpless, before coming to Lantian County, he took the silver from Beijing to travel through dozens of states and counties, and had long wanted to exchange the silver for rice grain, but unfortunately, 100,000 taels of silver could buy 20,000 quintals of grain at one time, only Lantian County.

Facing this small county, Wu Fu felt that as a provincial politician, he did not have any sense of superiority in front of him.

The reason why Lantian County was able to produce 20,000 loads of grain in March was because of the large and small reservoirs and ponds all over Lantian County.

In Lantian County, there is absolutely no excess water wasted, even if there is a heavy snowfall, the people will take the initiative to throw the snow into the pond, and when it rains heavily, the rainwater that originally flowed all over the ground will also be sent into the pond by the large and small ditches.

Once the water in the pond is beyond its means, the reservoir in Lantian County will open the sluice gates to release water and refill the pond.

There are waterwheels everywhere, and wooden troughs that carry water flows everywhere.

Looking at the clear water flowing in the canal, Wu Fu almost thought that he was in the water town south of the Yangtze River.

"It's as simple as that, the lower officials didn't loot the people in order to get together the 20,000 loads of grain you need, and they didn't take risks because of the 20,000 loads of grain.

Then we will take out the money, and the people will take out the grain stored in their homes, weigh it, and take the money, and you will get 20,000 loadloads of grain.

It's that simple, I don't understand why adults can't get 20,000 quintals of grain when they go through the state. ”

Wu Fu squatted on the edge of the canal and said lightly while washing his hands: "Where the official passed, the people had no food in their hands.

All the grain is in the hands of grain merchants or big landlords, and people dislike the low price of grain I give and refuse to buy it. ”

"Food isn't that expensive!" Yun Zhao leaned over and looked at the water in the canal.

Wu Fu wiped his hands and said, "People's hearts are broken." ”

Yun Zhao nodded, deeply convinced.

As long as the water in the reservoir and pond is full, Yun Zhao is not too worried about disasters, since ancient times, Lantian County will only suffer from drought, and there has never been a flood.

As for the plague of locusts...... Now there is no fear at all, the victims of the disaster have almost eaten the locusts in the first two years.

Although it is almost certain that "locusts will grow in drought," the main reason why there has been only drought but no locust plague in Shaanxi during the severe drought is that locusts have no foundation for survival.
