Chapter Seventy-Five: Stagnant Water

Yun Zhao happily agreed to Qian Duoduo's strange request.

It's just that Feng Ying refused.

Yanjing City in winter is indeed not as comfortable as Yushan, and the infrastructure is not comparable with Yushan.

In Yushan, central heating has been implemented in the large study area, which is due to the benefits of trains, since the steam train has been gradually completed, the hot steam boiler has gradually been used separately.

It's just that the heating network driven by cast iron pipes consumes too much heat, and the steam cannot be supplied, so it can only circulate hot water in the pipes for heating.

Even such a rudimentary heating system is not comparable to Yanjing's Dilong.

However, the area of central heating is also a small range of things in Yushan, at present, only the big study room and Yushan Academy, Yushan University Hall three places have completed the heating transformation, as for other places, if you want to synchronize, it will take at least three years.

Any progress in science and technology requires a process, just like the reason why steam boilers are used in this way, the biggest reason is that the machine tools of Yushan Machinery Factory have made great progress.

From the beginning, those lathes with a cylinder can only ensure approximate accuracy, and after generations of machine tools with higher precision, Yun Zhao has a seamless pipe buckle in his hand.

It's just that these machine tools, which should be driven by electricity, have all become steam machine tools, and when you think of an ordinary lathe with a power system, it covers an area of one acre...... Yun Zhao hated himself again.

What did you learn Chinese language and literature at the beginning, isn't it good to learn mechatronics directly?

Although one is liberal arts and the other is engineering, as far as Yunzhao's college entrance examination results are concerned, you can go to study, after all, the latter is basically not liked by many people.

Although Yanjing City is still a purely agricultural city, the application of coal has long been brought here by Xu Wuxiang, and charcoal is not allowed, which is a strict order made by Xu Wuxiang after he wanted to get coal.

At this time, there are not many trees in the vicinity of Yanjing City, since the Yuan Dynasty set the capital here, the surrounding trees have gradually become houses, furniture, and charcoal for heating.

Coal heating is very useful, but the air is very bad, and the coal mines around Yanjing can't produce any good coal, most of them are large bituminous coal with high sulfur content, good guys, once it starts to burn the sky of Yanjing City, yellow smoke bills billing, and the city is full of rotten eggs.

Xu Wuxiang's favorite thing is the big chimney.

After he came to Yanjing, the first thing he did related to the economy was to create a steel mill, and now, the Yanjing steel mill has four large chimneys standing outside Yanjing City, each big chimney is billowing smoke, Yun Zhao does not dare to look up at the sky, there will always be coal ash blown out by the steam blower in the sky, and the eyes are confused.

It's nothing, Yanjing is like that.

If it doesn't develop, the consequences are much worse than pollution.

If all the people rely on farming to eat, they can only barely eat enough, and it is difficult to eat well.

Therefore, industry must be developed, and the sooner it develops, the better.

Because of the plague, Yanjing City is very clean, not only the streets are clean, but the people are also clean, which is Yun Zhaoqian's instructions, from the street pedestrians, Yun Zhao can see Xu Wu's achievements in implementing this decree.

Today, Yun Zhao is going to visit Mr. Xianliang at Yenching Academy.

This stubborn old man came to Yanjing with thirty-one gentlemen and one million silver dollars, and it has been three years so far.

Yanjing Academy is located in the former Mu Wang's Mansion.

This mansion was donated by Jin Hu, that is, Mu Tiantao to Mr. Xianliang.

Xu Wu thought that this mansion was not big enough, so he allocated the Chengguo Mansion on the side to Mr. Xianliang, so Yanjing Academy was the largest academy in the north from the beginning.

Mr. Xianliang, dressed in a navy blue cotton robe, greeted the emperor at the gate of the academy.

The cotton robe on his body looked very bloated, his face looked much thinner than in the Yushan Academy period, and even his half-foot-long beard seemed to have become sparse.

"Gentlemen have to go to class, and students have to go to class, so only the old man has come to greet His Majesty."

There is no need to put up a fight in front of Mr. Xianliang, even if it is, this old gentleman will not flatter, Yun Zhao stepped forward and took the old man's cold hand and said: "Seeing that you are in good spirits, the student will be relieved." ”

Mr. Xianliang looked at Yun Zhao lightly and said: "Since you came, you have also seen it, Yanjing Academy is like this at present, Li Hongji has been here, the learned people are either dead or escaped, even if there are some available people, they have been pulled to Yushan by you, which leads to the fact that the people in the city are not highly educated, and the old man wants to recruit some talents, which is difficult to climb to the sky." ”

Yun Zhao looked at the four big characters of Yanjing Academy on the lintel and said with a smile: "Does Mr. have any regulations?" ”

Mr. Xianliang led Yun Zhao into the academy, pointed to the empty courtyard and said: "You can't be too partial, Yushan Academy, Yushan University Hall, and Yingtian Academy have all eaten ditches and flattened trenches, only I, Yanjing Academy, am thin."

The old man didn't mean to compare with those academies, but just told you that education can't be seen as a matter of resisting barrenness, and even has nothing to do with local finance and taxation.

Otherwise, once the people here are poor and there is no hope, I think, your trouble will come. ”

Mu Tiantao's mansion is really good, although there are traces of knives and axes in some places, most of the places are still carved and painted, which is very magnificent.

"Sir has spoken, and the students will fund Yenching Academy with another 500,000 silver dollars every year as a scholarship."

Mr. Xianliang looked at Yun Zhao coldly and said, "Do you think I can't find 500,000 silver dollars?" The old man just wants you to make a promise, there should be no difference between the students of Yanjing Academy and the two schools of Yushan and Yingtian Academy. ”

Yun Zhao frowned and said, "The students here are not as good as the students of the two academies of Yushan and Yingtian Academy, and this gentleman should be counted." ”

"It's better now, and it will definitely surpass it in the future."

Hearing what Mr. said, Yun Zhao smiled and said happily: "If you go beyond it, you should have the treatment after surpassing." ”

Mr. Xianliang stood in front of a pavilion, listening to the loud reading voice in the academy and whispered: "It will be surpassed, but I can't see it, two days ago Zhao Guoxiu came to check the old man's body, and she said that the old man has less than two years to live."

Life and death are not so important to the old man, but before he dies, he must do a good job in the affairs of Yenching Academy, for now, Yenching Academy has opened four departments and eight study directions.

The old man has set up the shelf, but ......"

Speaking of this, Mr. Xianliang looked at Yun Zhao's eyes and said, "You should be more open-minded, take out your founding emperor's spirit of accepting all rivers, and use the talents of the heavens and dangers for your use." ”

Yun Zhao also stared at Mr. Xianliang's eyes and said, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Mr. Xianliang said, "I'm going to use some people. ”

Yun Zhao spread his hands and said, "I don't remember that I restricted Mr. from employing people. ”

Mr. Xianliang touched his beard and said: "Some people have bad character, some people have a bad reputation, and some people are even inextricably linked with Zhu Ming.

However, in the old man's opinion, it should be better for you to include these people in the management than to put these people in the rivers and lakes and let them rot slowly. ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "Zhu Ming's officials, Mr. can recruit some, but Ruan Dayue and Ma Shiying are not among them." ”

Mr. Xianliang nodded and said, "Got it." ”

After the important matters were discussed, Yun Zhao visited the Yanjing Academy accompanied by Mr. Xianliang, and those students who were studying should have known that Yun Zhao, the emperor, was coming, and they seemed to be reading, their trembling hands, and uneasy eyes, had betrayed them.

"Your Majesty shouldn't have ruined the Forbidden City like this!"

Back in Mr. Xianliang's small study, Mr. Xianliang finally turned on the playing mode.

"If you don't break it, you can't stand it!"

"The old minister knows that His Majesty has the world in mind and looks down on Zhu Ming's emperors, but the emperor is the emperor after all, and he is the patriarch of my Han people, and this symbol should not be destroyed within the world."

"I just saw that the subjects of the world were back to the old way, so I was not angry, so I took the Forbidden City and asked for it, in the future, not only the Forbidden City of Yanjing, but also the Imperial City of Yingtianfu, the Imperial City of Tartar in Shenyang, and the Imperial City of North Korea will also be open, that is to say, in the future, as long as it is a place for the royal family to reign in the world, it will become where the people play and I am."

Mr. Xianliang shook his head slightly and said, "What about Your Majesty's palace in Yushan?" ”

Yun Zhao laughed and said: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when I am resting, the people can also enter and visit, not only my palace, even if it is the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Ministry of War, I also plan to open it to the people one by one." ”

Mr. Xianliang was taken aback and said, "Never! ”

Yun Zhao looked at the exquisite pavilion of Yanjing Academy with disgust and said lightly: "The reason why the monk temple will be repaired is splendid, but it is just that the people want to make the magnificent hall in the face of the high Buddha, produce a kind of smallness.

Temples are like this, Taoist temples are like this, all religions in the world despise the people of the world so much, and so is the reason why the imperial palace and yamen must be built tall and magnificent.

Break these mysteries and stand at the same height and look at the same scenery, and the vision will be completely different.

I want all the people of the Ming Dynasty to understand that the power of the emperor does not come from the gods, but from them, and the power of all the gods in the world also comes from the people.

I want the people of the world to know that I am the greatest source of strength. ”

Mr. Xianliang sighed and said, "Your Majesty's medicine is a little stronger. ”

Yun Zhao also sighed and said: "It's not enough, if I really want to take strong medicine, at this time, tomorrow morning, there will be a river of blood, and corpses will be everywhere." ”

Mr. Xianliang shivered, looked at Yun Zhao in horror and said, "Your Majesty, by all means!" ”

Yun Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "After all, I didn't completely turn the world upside down, causing me to have today's worries. ”
