"The trip to Shandong of Anguo County was inappropriate, and he was punished for copying the rites in front of the statue of the Confucian saint for reflection.

Retreat! After Chongzhen finished speaking, he walked off the throne and left without regard to the ministers, leaving behind a group of ministers who saluted and sent off and Liu Hongjian with a stunned face.

What's wrong with it? When we go to Shandong, don't you explain it to your old man?

If you don't have food, you still want to provide disaster relief, you don't want to die, you don't want to rob big households, what else can you do, it's difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice!

Also, go to the country to copy the book of rites, not to mention what kind of eyes those lifters should look at him, he made the descendants of Old Master Kong so angry that he vomited blood, and his old man was not comfortable when he saw us, why bother?

What's more, the Book of Rites has 100,000 words, and it is quite cute to write 100,000 words with a brush? Damn!

After retiring from the court, the officials of all ministries went back to their yamen to do errands, and although Liu Hongjian had a lot of official positions on his head, he had nothing to do, and he didn't want to go to the Guozijian code, so he had to sneak to the Qianqing Palace to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, hehe, you've been in good shape lately." Entering the Qianqing Palace, Liu Hong, a big man, gradually bowed and walked in front of Chongzhen, and when he saw Chongzhen raise his eyes, he didn't move, so he had to step forward and set it up.

"Don't waste time here, let's go to the Guozijian and confess to Sage Kong, I won't eat you!" Chongzhen said in a deep voice.

In fact, Chongzhen was not angry because Liu Hongjian grabbed the landlord, but because Liu Hongjian not only put that Kong Yanzhi together, but also kept him Chongzhen in the dark by the way.

He is not a political idiot, so he naturally sees Kong Yanzhi's defection, and then thinks of the crime handed over by Cao Huachun, if Cao and Liu have no PY deal, they won't believe him if they are killed.

Chongzhen just felt uncomfortable, and just now he had already punished Cao Huachun for twenty boards.

If Liu Hong knew that Chongzhen thought so in his heart, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing, this was all Lao Cao's idea, who knew that he didn't tell you clearly, how could we also suffer from this unwarranted disaster.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here for another important matter, and after he finishes speaking, the minister will go to the national prison." Liu Hong gradually saw that Chongzhen was not on the set, so he had to put the matter aside first.

Wang Erxi came with two cups of tea, Liu Hong gradually took a cup in front of Chongzhen, and took a sip himself.

Chongzhen still looked at Song Shu, but raised his eyebrows, and Liu Hong immediately knew that this uncle was listening seriously.

"For more than a year, the ministers have been fighting everywhere, in addition to the bravery of the soldiers, firearms and armaments have also made great efforts, but the inheritance of our Ming skills depends on the teaching of masters and apprentices.

After thinking about it for a long time, he wanted to build a school in Xishan, and hired a craftsman with an engineering director as a full-time professor to train all kinds of craftsmen for our Ming Dynasty. Liu Hong gradually frowned and said his thoughts seriously.

Most of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are illiterate, and the craftsmen cultivated by the situation of the school, supplemented by the literate gentlemen, and then carry out a little patriotic education, and after the completion of learning, they are the pillars of the Ming industry.

For three hundred years, the imperial court has not attached importance to craftsmen, but it does not know that the role of craftsmen is no worse than that of the military, agriculture, and Confucianism.

Craftsmen can develop higher-end and more powerful firearms, so that the Ming soldiers are invincible in the face of strong enemies.

Craftsmen can build pavilions, weave and tailor, and the so-called superior people can live in comfortable courtyards and wear gorgeous clothes.

The craftsman made the foundation of this world, the so-called four great inventions, which one is not the credit of the craftsman, Bi Sheng, who improved the movable type printing technique, was still a small craftsman responsible for printing the pages of the book when he died.

Confucianism divides people into three, six, nine and so on, and the old Zhu family puts a shackle on the head of the craftsman, who is a craftsman all his life, and a craftsman who has been a craftsman for nearly a thousand years.

"This is folk science, you can just look at it." Chongzhen put down the music in his hand, picked up the tea and said.

In recent years, the achievements of the Ordnance Institute are obvious to all, although Chongzhen does not know much about this engineering, but he knows that Liu Hongjian will never come out of nowhere, anyway, it is just a folk study, let him toss.

"Then the proceeds of the Ordnance Institute in the second half of this year will be used by the minister to build this folk school." Liu Hong gradually said happily.

In the second half of the year, the Ordnance Institute finally turned a profit, and only the order of the Korean lord Yi Liang made a pure profit of 200,000 taels, plus the profits of the glass workshop, the spinning workshop, and the coal business on the other side of the mountain.

Excluding the expenses of the new cement workshop and steel workshop, there are at least three or four hundred thousand taels.

In fact, it doesn't cost much money to build an engineering college, after all, the ordnance has its own exclusive construction team, and all kinds of craftsmen are gathered together, and the efficiency is high.

The real money was spent after the academy was built.

Craftsman is an inferior profession, and only poor families who have no power or power, or craftsmen who have been in the industry for generations, have no choice but to follow it.

The people are already poor and can't eat enough, so where is the extra money to go to school?

And who in a big family would learn such a cheap trade, otherwise Fang Xing would not be angry because his son was addicted to engineering.

According to Liu's plan, in order to encourage engineering studies, the college will be open to men of appropriate age in ordinary people's families for free.

That is to say, from the construction of the college, to the hiring of teachers, to the enrollment of students, all should eat, drink, Lasa and live, and the consumption and provision of various materials were all paid by Liu Hongjian himself.

In this way, Liu Hongjian himself does not know how much money will be spent.

But it is urgent to improve the status of craftsmen, and craftsmen are needed for the take-off of industry, so craftsmen must rise, and for this, it is worth spending more silver.

"Well, if you have any problems, you can find me to solve them." Chongzhen doesn't understand, but out of trust, he has always said this to Liu Hongji's suggestion.

In a word, he is not short of silver now.

Liu Honggradually likes the uncle, he first helps the people, and then helps the Ming, and this is closely related to Chongzhen, and the three are not in conflict.

His heart to serve the country with his fist finally has the support of the supreme ruler of the royal family, unlike other traversers, who serve the country and have to run into walls everywhere in the end.

"Hehe, the minister will go to Zhang Luo to do this." Liu Hong gradually got up and planned to flash.

"Well, go ahead." Chongzhen almost subconsciously said, completely forgetting the words of not eating others just now.

"That country is ......"

"The rites can be waived, and go to the Guozijian to burn pillar incense for Sage Kong!" Chongzhen finally relented.

The idea of governing the country with Confucianism is deeply ingrained in Chongzhen's heart, and he has blasphemed the sage of Confucius, and Chongzhen is still worried that this shaft has taken the wrong path.

It's always bad to be too deviant, if it weren't for the fact that he needed to count on Liu Hongjian for too many things, he really wanted to let this erector go to Guozijian to learn the Confucian classics.

"Howler! Obey the order! Liu Hong gradually became amnesty, and almost trotted out of the Qianqing Palace.

He really wanted to hurry to the armory station now and tell Song Yingxing and the craftsmen of the armory station the good news.

The Faculty of Engineering will be the first step in the rise of craftsmen, and this is just the beginning......
