[Sure enough, I was born without writing for a day.] I didn't write yesterday, and I wrote it slowly today, but it's still three more. Starting tomorrow, the three more that are owed will be made up. 】

Lu Jia asked, it's really over. There was a commotion on the side of the three divisions, and the money in the treasury was no longer the third division's. The rest are complaining, saying that Lu Jia asked that the lard was confused, and he wanted to take advantage of Han Gang's resignation. Don't you know that Han Gang retreated and retreated, and how could he afford to provoke him. When Cai Wei came back, he was excited, "My lord, the Firearms Bureau and the Mint Bureau, what are Han Gang going to do?" ”

"Wait and see." Cai did answer his question very succinctly, and just poured cold water on it.

The Firearms Bureau and the Mint Bureau were both classified by the two governments into the scope of Han Gang's power, and Mo said that this kind of practical organization located at the lower level of the Third Division and the Ordnance Supervision could not arouse the covetousness of the Zaifu, even if he had a heart, he would not take these two yamen.

The Firearms Bureau and the Mint Bureau need to wait for Han Gang to list the charter and recommend a specific person in charge before they can be put into operation. Without Han Gang's theory and business guidance, it wouldn't even be a joke.

There is no need for Cai Qu to explain more, Cai Wei is very clear about Han Gang's influence in the practical yamen such as the Ordnance Supervisor. Gewu Zhizhi has brought countless inventions and discoveries, and has also created Hangang's authority in practical fields such as 100 crafts and medicine, making it impossible for people to compete with him. Lu Jia, who recently thought that he could take food from the tiger's mouth, asked everyone who saw his fate clearly.

Cai really didn't want to say more about the specific details, and Cai Wei could only stop asking, but he was slandering his own Lao Tzu in his stomach if he didn't know anything at all, so he could only attack himself.

However, Cai Wei's guess was, of course, very wrong. Some details, Cai Qudu has been informed from Han Gang.

Seeing that his son wanted to leave stupidly, and he looked like he had something to say in his stomach and didn't say anything, Cai did frown and called his son back.

"Your Excellency." Cai Wei was a little inexplicable, "But there are still orders?" ”

"Who is in front of you about the Firearms Bureau and the Mint Bureau?"

"And no one." Cai Wei was weak for a while, but he secretly refused to tell the truth.

Cai Qu's heart was on fire, and his tone was still flat: "Do you know his intentions?" ”

"Your Excellency. I just talked about two sentences when I was drinking, and they were all casual words. Cai Wei argued.

"Do you know their intentions?!" Cai Qu's voice sank, not angry and arrogant.

Sensing that Cai Qu's tone had changed, Cai Wei finally didn't dare to dodge anymore, and lowered his head and said, "Zhilu Dao." ”

"It's good to know the way. Go back and think about it. If anyone asks again, tell them clearly that neither the Firearms Bureau nor the Mint Bureau is something they can worry about. ”

Cai did send his son away again, and his mood became even worse.

There are really a lot of fools, so what's the benefit of not asking around? Is it still possible to compete with craftsmen? Or do you want to make a profit from minting? Being able to make friends with the children of the prime minister's family is a rare opportunity, but it is all wasted. Cai Qu, who seized the opportunity at Han Jiang's banquet back then, and then never let go of any opportunity in Kaifeng Mansion and Yushitai, looked down on the friends his son made.

And protecting the sons of these fools also made Cai Cheng even more angry. In comparison, forgiveness is much stronger. But after the son has a deep friendship with Xingshu, he has to worry about being used and doesn't know what happened to Lu Dao

Affair.

It's really uncomfortable.

His own son and the people who were messing with him must not have received the news that Han Gang Jin was crowned the Duke of Lai, otherwise the topic of discussion would not be the Firearms Bureau and the Mint Bureau.

Of course, if you can get the news one step earlier than Han Gang, except for the palace, that is, their group of Zaifu.

'Lai Kwok Gong ......'

Is this because he was afraid that Han Gang would accept it seriously, so he deliberately gave it to Laiguo? Although it seems logical to be promoted from the Duke of Donglai County to the Duke of Laiguo, thinking of that one is a bit taboo after all.

It is impossible for Empress Taishang to treat Han Gang like this, and Cai does know how Han Gang is valued in the palace. That's the sour people of Taichang Rite Temple, playing their word games again.

In fact, it's not a big deal, I'm afraid that Han Gang will be too careful. And Han Gang has a temper that refuses to be wronged, and Lu Jiawen's expression is still in front of him today.

But it's also a good thing, there are three divisions in front, and now there is another Taichang Rite Academy, and the word Bahu can't be taken off.

Even if it's all on the same line, it's not a bad thing for a companion to suffer a little and a bad reputation.

Isn't it?

Cai Qu thought with a smile.

……………………

After sending the torture forgiveness away, You Xing was still in the courtyard, and he didn't move for a long time.

A scholar came into the courtyard and saw You Xing, who had always studied hard, standing up, and asked in surprise: "Dingfu, why don't you see reading today?" ”

Seeing the person coming, You Xing got up with joy, "Lizhi, why are you here?" When will you return to the capital? ”

A few days ago, Guo Zhongxiao went to Hebei, and You Xing also went to give him a ride, but he didn't expect to come back so soon.

"Just before noon today." Guo Zhongxiao said, "I didn't stay in Hebei for a few days, so I rushed back, and I couldn't calm down to study." ”

As he spoke, he asked his companion behind him to give him a gift.

You Xing pushed it for a while, and then thanked him and accepted it.

Hu Qian sat down, Guo Zhongxiao looked at the cups on the table that had not been cleaned up, and asked, "Who is here?" ”

"It's Uncle Xinghe."

"What about the seven? Gone? ”

"It's gone." You Xing nodded.

"Xingqi is still in such a hurry." Guo Zhongxiao smiled, "What did you say again?" ”

"It's just some things in the temple. You should already know the way, right? ”

Guo Zhongxiao nodded, "I know a little bit better." ”

As Guo Kui's son, he must care about everything that happens in the court, but if it is not his business, he will only understand a little generally.

"Do you know what the Mint and Firearms are?" You Xing asked, his expression much more serious than in front of the torture.

"Mint, Firearms?" Guo Zhongxiao was slightly stunned, and was surprised that You Xing didn't ask about the national debt, but asked these two small yamen. After thinking about it, he replied: "The Mint Bureau probably didn't get rid of the ordnance supervisor back then. Replace manpower with machinery, reduce labor and reduce man-hours. As for the Firearms Bureau, I don't know what kind of weapon it is, but if it is really made for use in the army, it must be a weapon that is easy to build and repair...... Mostly a good thing. ”

"Sure enough, it's still like this." You Xing nodded slowly, his expression even heavier.

Guo Zhongxiao's answer was similar to his guess.

The Mint's planning should basically be Han Gang's consistent style, improving the manufacturing process, which is impossible for thieves to imitate, and trying to reduce the cost of large-scale manufacturing, so that the minting can have more benefits - the benefits of minting large coins, anyone knows the Tao, and Han Gang's money source theory shows that as long as credit is maintained, coins can completely surpass the value of materials. As we all know, the craft of coins is credit.

On the firearms side, the Firearms Bureau replaces the thunderbolt artillery with new weapons that are easy to build and repair, which can better destroy the enemy in field battles, sieges, and city defenses.

Hangang's repeated achievements have also pointed out two directions for the development of technology, one is to reduce costs in manufacturing, and the other is to strive for excellence in technology.

Anyone in Tokyo has experienced the benefits of technological progress in reality. And the officials should feel it the most.

If you really don't understand, when you read the chapter and official documents, you can touch the glasses on your nose. The earliest crystal glasses were all polished by the craftsmen's unfamiliar craftsmanship, and the actual effect was not very good. The reason why it is praised is only because it is much better than when you don't have glasses.

With the increase in the number of craftsmen and the improvement of polishing techniques, the level of lenses is also rising, and the room for matching is much larger. You can really choose the lens that matches your visual ability, instead of using it as before. Many of the important ministers' glasses have felt dizzy after using them for a long time at the beginning, and now they can be worn on the bridge of their noses all night. Ordinary scholars can also use glasses that are not too high to choose suitable glasses.

The benefits of excellence are all around us, and the results of mass production are on the bridge of the nose, even if you are short-sighted.

Seeing You Xing's gloomy face touching the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Guo Zhongxiao had a little realization, and asked softly, "Are you still worried?" ”

"I'm really worried." You Xing sighed lightly, "I can't let my husband's knowledge flourish, how can I not worry?" ”

Han Gang's representative of the Qixue line advocated meritorious work, and there were actual achievements, which also made more officials realize the benefits of the progress of technology and technology, so as not to become an obstacle.

In contrast, no matter how subtle Cheng Mendao is, it is difficult to attract the vast majority of officials, let alone leave a deep influence among the general public.

Among the disciples of Ercheng's sect, not all of them are in the study of life. Even the seventy-two disciples of Confucius are also divided into two factions for study and practice. Yan Hui enjoyed himself in the alleys, while Zigong could get rich in business, lobby countries, and govern the country.

After all, Confucianism is an article on governing the country, and no matter how much you talk about morality, you can't overwhelm the qi science presided over by Han Gang. This is not to use 'those who work hard to govern people, and those who work to govern people' can prevaricate the past, Qi science can also start from the truth, any invention and discovery, after all, can be reduced to the truth through the knowledge of things. In addition to the theory of heaven and man, You Xing couldn't find any other flaws in Qi science, maybe there were, but he couldn't do it.

Guo Zhongxiao nodded silently. You Xing is a rare figure among his classmates who can clearly distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of each school. Although his brother had been recommended by Han Gang to serve as an official in Jiangnan, and You Xing's own views were close to Qi science, Guo Zhongxiao felt that You Xing would not stand on the side of Qi science—only if he was hostile, he would seriously study his opponent.

"When the little brother came over, he just heard a message." Guo Zhongxiao After a while, he spoke again, "Fang Cai sent people to the Han Mansion in the palace, and with all kinds of merits in his position as a privy deputy envoy, officials, positions, honors, and titles have all been promoted, and even promoted to the title of Duke of the country...... Lai Guogong. ”
