"Your Excellency!"

Song Yingxing had tears in his eyes, and said angrily: "With this evaluation from an adult, even if the lower official dies tomorrow, you can be blinded!" ”

Hahaha......

Zhu Jie laughed and said, "Lord Song, what are you talking about?" Now you haven't reached the age of sixties, you can say that you are in the prime of life, what can't you die! There's so much more to help me with, and every single one of them is a priority! ”

Song Yingxing was stunned and said, "My lord, in addition to the administration of this Kaifeng Mansion, do you have other affairs to be handled by the lower officials?" ”

"Of course!"

Zhu Jie replied: "Lord Song, now the imperial court and Li Zicheng are in a fierce battle, even if Li Zicheng is encircled and annihilated, we will have to face the invasion of the Manchurian Tatars in the future, I said just now, if you want not to be bullied, then you have to be strong and strong, but the Manchurian Tartar cavalry dominates the world, it is not an ordinary strong, if you want to be able to defeat them, you must have enough firearms to help, I need a lot of firearms!" If we want to make firearms, we can't do without steel, can't do without bronze, can't do without sulfur, these are all things that need to be mined, so in the next period of time, ironmaking, copper mining, sulfur refining, all the industries needed to make firearms need to be operated, I have asked the emperor for a will, allow me to act cheaply, these are you experts, you say these things, don't hand them over to you, who will I hand them over? ”

Song Yingxing was taken aback, and hesitated: "Lord Futai, don't say anything else, these items are a money hole, and you need to throw a lot of money and food!" ”

Zhu Jie laughed and said: "Haha, Lord Song, you just have to prepare, as for money and food, it's not something you worry about, how much money you need, just ask, tens of millions of taels of silver, I can't raise it for a while, but 1.8 million taels of silver, there is still no big problem!" The first thing is to prepare for a firearms bureau, I have already found a person at the helm of the firearms bureau, and the supervisor of Qintianjian Tang Ruowang has been recruited by me, and he is an expert in firearms; Then prepare for the establishment of a mining bureau, specializing in the mining of various minerals, this piece, but I have to hand it over to you, after all, John Tang is an outsider, whether it is the firearms bureau or the mining bureau, it must be in the hands of our own people. ”

Song Yingxing nodded and asked: "My lord, the rest is okay to say, whether it is mining or other industries, no one is not good, especially craftsmen who understand technology, this Kaifeng Mansion is a plain, there is no adjacent mine, we don't have ready-made talents at hand......"

"Haha!"

Zhu Jie replied: "You can rest assured, no matter what, I am still concurrently serving as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, if I want money, I will allocate money and food for you, ask for people, I will give you talents, it is really not enough, I will ask the emperor for an order, transfer craftsmen from Beijing, in a word, I don't care about anything else, I just need the Firearms Bureau and the Mining Bureau to set up a shelf in the shortest possible time!" ”

Song Yingxing smiled bitterly and shook his head, this Lord Futai is really not an ordinary big man, he was still doubting how he climbed to the high position of governor in just one year, but now he understands, he is the same as himself, he knows almost everything, and he also has a broader vision than himself, he is just focused on writing books and sayings, and now Lord Futai wants to apply all these theories to production, which is really a step higher than himself!

Zhu Jie continued: "Lord Song, in addition to me asking for someone for you, you yourself must also strengthen the training of craftsmen, just from the Ministry of Works, that is just to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, the Ming Dynasty is only such an excellent craftsman, it is used here, and there is no other place......"

Song Yingxing nodded and replied: "Yes, it's just that Lord Ning also knows that Shinong Industry and Commerce, this craftsman is a lowly identity in itself, and who is willing to join in if he has nothing to do?" ”

Zhu Jie's heart tightened, Song Yingxing was right, the craftsman is a lowly, if he can fill his stomach, who wants to go there if he has nothing to do, then he will follow the lowly status for generations!

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Lord Song, this matter has to be changed after all, didn't I say that you Confucian students, one by one, preach that everything is inferior, only the reading is high, and the reading is still a dead book, and the one who will only care about it for a lifetime, and the person who really has the ability is suppressed at the bottom, which is really speechless. What a, a bunch of people's rules......"

When Song Yingxing heard this, his face turned green with fright, and he wiped it, this Lord Futai dares to say anything!

Kong Lao Er? As an important minister of the imperial court, he dared to be so disrespectful to the Confucian saint, if this was spread, it would definitely cause the impeachment of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and even cause the Manchu Dynasty bigwigs to attack him! From the Western Han Dynasty Dong Zhongshu deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone, until now, almost 2,000 years, all dynasties, which one has not been a disciple of Confucius and Mencius? Sage Kong has already become the most holy teacher, so disrespectful, even the emperor would not dare!

"Lord Futai, be cautious, be cautious! How can such a rebellious word be easily spoken, for it will invite great disaster! ”

Calling the Sage Kong Lao Er Kong, this is only the first person in history, which is extremely taboo!

Zhu Jie didn't care, and replied: "I'm just talking about things, Kong Laoer's doctrine is good, but now it has been changed beyond recognition by Zhu Xi and others, in a word, within ten years, I must change the status of craftsmen and businessmen, heaven and earth are not benevolent, all things are used as dogs, and saints are not benevolent and people are dogs!" All men are created equal, where does the distinction between high and low come from? If there is a distinction between high and low, how could Emperor Taizu be able to top the world and ascend to the throne? He was just a novice who asked for food......"

If it weren't for admiring Zhu Jie, now Song Yingxing would have turned his head and run out, the more this guy talked, the more outrageous it became, and even Emperor Taizu was dragged in, this is going to lose his head!

"Okay, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhu Jie continued: "I mean to support you in establishing a academy in Kaifeng!" ”

Forehead......

Song Yingxing's head couldn't keep up, and asked: "The establishment of the academy is certainly a good thing, but this academy is not next to the cultivation of excellent craftsmen......

"Why aren't they next to each other?"

Zhu Jie said helplessly: "Lord Song, our academy does not recruit scholars and Confucian students, as long as the poor and intelligent young people will use your "Heavenly Creations" and the late university scholar Xu Guangqi's "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" and "Geometric Original" as the blueprint to teach them the study of things. ”
