Chapter 940: There is no feast in the world

Children are always like this, they may quarrel or even fight over a small matter, but they never hold grudges, and it won't be long before the small private school becomes lively again.

He saw Liu Aotian pretending to be thirteen in front of Zhang Erxiao and other civilian children, saw Zhu Heping teasing his youngest daughter Ling Yu to be happy, and saw Niu Ren and Niu Zhen washing dishes with the rest of their partners.

Liu Hong gradually watched the children frolicking and couldn't help but suddenly feel a little sad.

After leaving the Xishan Private School, Liu Hong gradually went to the Ordnance Institute again, and the scale of the workshops in Xishan has been repeatedly expanded in recent years, and almost half of the land in the entire Shuntian Mansion has been expropriated, but the Ordnance Institute is still the same as before.

From the day of its establishment, the ordnance institute was responsible for the research and development of high-precision technology, and was not responsible for production, but now the difficulty of craftsmen wanting to enter the ordnance institute is even more difficult than that of the jinshi in the imperial examination.

After tasting the sweetness of advanced technology, the imperial court has repeatedly given preferential treatment to the Ordnance Institute, there is no deceit here, there is only the spirit of scientific research striving for the top, and it has become a scientific research holy place hidden in the paradise.

Song Yingxing was still in that spirit, and when he saw Liu Hong, he was interested in inviting him to visit the improved version of the manpower generator of the Ordnance Institute.

The days slipped away quietly from between his fingers, and in the blink of an eye it was June, on this day Liu Hongjian was telling stories to the children in Xishan Private School, and someone from the palace said that it was Zhu Cihong who summoned him, and Liu Hongjian happened to have something to find Zhu Cihong, so he went to the palace.

As soon as I arrived at the Qianqing Palace, I saw a lot of small yellow doors outside the palace, and three of these people were riding on a machine similar to a bicycle pedal, waiting for the pedals to be deadly waiting.

"It's on, hey! It's lit up! Wang Erxi's shout suddenly came from the palace.

Liu Hong gradually saw this without guessing what was going on, after the manpower generator was improved, the power generation efficiency was significantly improved, and the light bulb was only developed for more than half a month, and Zhu Cihong couldn't wait to electrify the Qianqing Palace.

"Brother Liu, look! This electric light is really magical! Zhu Cihong happily pointed to the standing lamp road in the main hall.

"The minister has already seen it, won't the emperor summon me just to see this electric light?" Liu Hong gradually lost his temperament.

The manpower generator improved by the ordnance still needs to be coordinated by three people, which means that if you want to keep the lamp in the Qianqing Palace on, the generator outside must always be in motion.

This will have to be in the later generations of neurosis to hire three laborers to pedal in order to send some electricity, but Daming has never lacked labor, and Zhu Cihong obviously doesn't care.

With the current level of industrial technology in Daming, it is not easy to come up with this thing, and his house was powered a week ago, and Liu Hongjian has long been surprised by this.

"It's not all, right, Heping and their brothers and sisters also took classes in your private school for a while, they weren't naughty, right?" Zhu Cihong said while observing the table lamp.

"I'm not naughty, I'm honest." Liu Hong gradually joked.

It's not good if you're not honest, Zhu Heping's small body is not Liu Aotian's opponent at all, not to mention that Liu Aotian is still guarding the second general of the Niu Da Bang Mallet family behind him.

However, this kid is very knowledgeable about current affairs, since he was 'repaid with virtue' by Liu Aotian a few months ago, Zhu Heping listens to Liu Aotian's words very much, and always sits next to the Liu family brothers and sisters when he listens to classes, as if he has become a dog's leg.

"Oh, that's good, by the way, Brother Liu, the governor of Malacca, Qi Yuanbi, sent a note, saying that the Europa people refused to use the banknotes issued by us to trade, please tell me whether I want to fight over, the people at the staff headquarters are undecided, I want to ask your opinion." Zhu Cihong lost interest in the table lamp and sat on the dragon chair.

Zhu Cihong can now be said to be complacent, the treasury is full, the people are rich, and he has more than one million troops.

In his opinion, this is Liu Hongji's consistent style, so after receiving Qi Yuanbi's recital, Zhu Cihong's restless heart began to be eager to try.

"Your Majesty, although the Ming Dynasty is strong, but to solve the problem through war, it is always the next policy, you have military power, political power and financial power, you should consider the more than one million soldiers, don't raise troops at every turn.

The Europa people refuse to use the Ming currency, so wouldn't it be better not to do business with them? Liu Hong gradually said gently.

The porcelain, tea and silk of the Ming Dynasty will always be the hard currency to Europa, coupled with the South Sea Spice Islands controlled by the Ming Dynasty, the Europa people can't do without the Ming Dynasty at all, and it won't be long before the Europa people succumb sooner or later if they don't want to war.

The reason why they refused to use the Ming currency was that it was only a test in Liu Hong's gradual thinking, and the Ming Dynasty could destroy the Rakshasa and the Netherlands so cleanly, which was enough for the Europa people to weigh their own strength.

But Zhu Cihong's expression became solemn after listening to Liu Hongji's words.

"What does Brother Liu mean by this? You are the regent, if I do something wrong and you don't stand up and correct it, you are also responsible, not to mention that the Imperial Bank building has not yet been built, and I have full authority for the issuance of paper money and coinage. ”

Liu Hong gradually looked at Zhu Cihong, with a strange smile on his face, and Zhu Cihong's expression became more solemn.

"I came this time, but also have something important to find you, after thinking about it, it is time for the minister to step down as regent, with the current circulation of the new version of the currency in the Ming Dynasty, the people's trust in paper money and coinage is constantly improving.

I have also told several vice presidents of the Imperial Bank about the accounting standards for currency issuance, and I think that as long as you don't make a fool of yourself, the new version of the currency will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in a few years.

Therefore, this wealth will be given to you as well. Liu Hongjian said very seriously.

More than half a year ago, because of this incident, Liu Hongjian and Zhu Cihong fell out with hundreds of officials, and Zhu Cihong did not hesitate to replace all the courtiers in order to keep Liu Hongji.

At that time, Liu Honggradually did not choose to leave, firstly, because Liu Honggradually did not like to give in, and secondly, because the issue of currency had always made Liu Honggradually angry, otherwise even if the officials did not say it, he himself knew that it was time to retreat.

Zhang Tianlu's encouragement is shameless, but not all courtiers are selfish, they prefer to return the Ming to orthodoxy and get back on track.

This is the Zhu family on the right track.

Although Zhu Cihong changed a courtier, and although these new officials no longer dared to impeach Liu Hongjian on the matter, Liu Hongjian knew that all those who had a country in their hearts were probably defensive against him in their hearts.

His stay here made everyone feel uneasy, alas, this is what Liu Hongjian has been sad about for several months.

Seeing that Zhu Cihong was stunned and didn't say a word, Liu Hong gradually stood up and said:

"There is no feast in the world, Cihong."
