Chapter 75: Slight Waves in the Dead Water
Yun Zhao happily agreed to Qian Duoduo’s strange request.
But Feng Ying refused.
Yanjing City in winter is indeed not as comfortable as Yushan, and the infrastructure is incomparable with Yushan.
In Yushan, central heating has been implemented in the large study area. This is due to the benefits of trains. Since the steam train was gradually completed, hot steam boilers have gradually been used separately.
It is just a heating network driven by cast iron pipes. The heat consumption is too much and the steam cannot be supplied. Hot water can only be circulated in the pipes for heating.
Even such a simple heating system is not comparable to the earth dragons in Yanjing.
However, the central heating area is also a small-scale matter in Yushan. At present, only the big study room, Yushan Academy, and Yushan University Hall have completed the heating renovation. As for other places, we want to Synchronization will take at least another three years.
Any scientific and technological progress 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 huge progress.
From the beginning, those lathes could only guarantee rough accuracy when turning a cylinder. After generations of machine tools with higher precision appeared, Yun Zhao now had a perfectly fitting pipe buckle available.
However, these machine tools that were supposed to be driven by electricity have all turned into steam machine tools. When he thought that an ordinary lathe with its power system would occupy an area of one acre... Yun Zhao hated it again Come on your own.
Why did I study Chinese language and literature? Wouldn’t it be better to study mechatronics directly?
Although one is in liberal arts and the other is in engineering, given Yunzhao’s college entrance examination results, you can definitely study. After all, few people like the latter.
Although Yanjing City is still a purely agricultural city, the use of coal has long been brought here by Xu Wuxiang. Burning charcoal is not allowed. This is after Xu Wu wanted to get coal. It was a strict order.
At this time, there are not many trees around Yanjing City. Since the Yuan Dynasty established its capital here, the trees around it have gradually turned into houses, furniture, and charcoal for heating.
Coal is very useful for heating, but the air is very bad. The coal mines around Yanjing can’t produce any good coal. Most of them are bituminous coal with high sulfur content. Good guy, once it starts burning As soon as we arrived at Yanjing City, yellow smoke billowed in the sky, and the whole city smelled of rotten eggs.
Xu Wuxiang’s favorite thing is the big chimney.
After coming to Yanjing, the first economic-related thing he did was to create a steelmaking plant. Today, the Yanjing Steelmaking Plant has four large chimneys standing outside the city of Yanjing. Every big chimney was billowing with thick smoke, which made Yun Zhao dare not raise his head to look at the sky. There was always soot blown out by steam blowers in the sky, which dazzled his eyes.
This is nothing, Yanjing is like this.
If developmentIf you don’t get up, the consequences will be much more serious than pollution.
If everyone relies on farming for food, they can barely eat enough, and it will be difficult to eat well.
Therefore, industry must be developed, and the earlier it is developed, the better.
Due to the plague, the city of Yanjing is very clean. Not only the streets are clean, but the people are also clean. This is what Yun Zhao Qian warned and told. From the pedestrians on the street, Yun Zhao can see Xu Fifth, think about the achievements of implementing this decree.
Today, Yun Zhao is going to Yanjing Academy to visit Mr. Xian Liang.
This stubborn old man came to Yanjing with thirty-one gentlemen and one million silver dollars. It has been three years since then.
Yanjing Academy is located in the former Prince Mu’s Mansion.
This mansion was donated to Mr. Xian Liang by Golden Tiger, Mu Tiantao.
Xu Wuxiang felt that this mansion was not big enough, so he also allocated the adjacent Cheng Guogong mansion to Mr. Xianliang. Therefore, from the beginning, Yanjing Academy was Beidi The largest academy.
Mr. Xian Liang, wearing a navy blue cotton robe, greeted the emperor at the entrance of the academy.
The cotton robe on his body looks very bloated, his face looks much thinner than when he was at Yushan Academy, and even his half-foot-long beard seems to have become sparse.
"The gentlemen have to go to class, and the students have to go to class, so only the old man comes to greet His Majesty."
There is no need to put on airs in front of Mr. Xianliang, even if it is , this old gentleman doesn’t know how to 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 feel relieved.”
Mr. Xianliang looked at it calmly. Yun Zhao said: "Now that you are here, you have seen that Yanjing Academy is like this now. Li Hongji has been here. The learned people are either dead or have escaped. Even if there are some more useful people, they will be left behind by you." We have been dragged to Yushan, which means that the people in the city are not very knowledgeable. It is difficult for me to recruit some talents."
Yun Zhao looked at the four characters "Yanjing Academy" on the lintel and smiled. He said: "Sir, do you have any regulations?"
Mr. All Tianshuyuan is full of food, but I, Yanjing Academy, am thin.
I don’t mean to compare with those academies. I just want to tell you that education cannot be judged by whether it is able to resist poverty. , It has nothing to do with local finance and taxation. The poorer the place, you can eat two less meals and wear two less clothes, but education must keep up.
Otherwise, once the people here are so poor, they will not even have hope. It’s all gone, and I think that’s where your trouble comes.”
The Mu Tiantao family’s mansion is really nice. Although there are traces of cutting and chiseling in some places, most of the places are still very well decorated. It is magnificent.
"Mr. Xianliang has already spoken, and students will support Yanjing Academy with another five hundred thousand silver dollars every year as student aid."
Mr. Xianliang said coldly.He looked at Yun Zhao and said: "You think I can't find five hundred thousand silver dollars? I just want you to promise that 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 from Yushan Academy and Yingtian Academy. You should be aware of this."
"They are not as good as they are now, but they will definitely surpass them in the future."< /p>
Hearing what Mr. Xian said, Yun Zhao smiled and said happily: "If you surpass, you should have the treatment after surpassing."
Mr. Xianliang stood in front of a pavilion, listening. The loud sound of reading in the academy whispered: "It will be surpassed, but I can't see it. Two days ago, Zhao Guoxiu came to check my body. She said that I have less than two years to live.
< p>Life and death are not that important to me, but before I die, I must take care of the affairs of Yanjing Academy. For now, Yanjing Academy has four departments and eight study directions.I have put up a good deal, but..."
Speaking of this, Mr. Xianliang looked into Yun Zhao's eyes and said, "You should be more open-minded and show your founding emperor. With the spirit of embracing all rivers, you can make use of the most talented people in the world."
Yun Zhao also looked into Mr. Xianliang's eyes and said, "What's the plan?"
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. employment."
Mr. Xianliang touched his beard and said: " Some people have bad character, some people have a bad reputation, and some people are even inextricably connected with Zhu Ming. I know that you are broad-minded if you do not eliminate these people.
However, I think it would be better if you put these people in the rivers and lakes and let them rot slowly. It would be better to bring them under management."
Yun Zhao shook his head. He said: "Mr. Zhu Ming can recruit some officials, but Ruan Dajue and Ma Shiying are not among them."
Mr. Xianliang nodded and said: "I understand."
After the important matters were discussed, Yun Zhao, accompanied by Mr. Xian Liang, visited Yanjing Academy. Those students who were studying must have known that the emperor Yun Zhao was coming. They all seemed to be studying, with their trembling hands. And the uneasy eyes had given them away.
"Your Majesty should not have ruined the Forbidden City like this!"
Back in Mr. Xian Liang's small study, Mr. Xian Liang finally started the duel mode.
"If you don't destroy it, you won't establish it!"
"I know that Your Majesty has the world in mind and looks down on Zhu Ming's ungrateful emperors. However, the emperor is the emperor after all, and he is the patriarch of our Han people, and his family belongs to the world. This symbol should not be destroyed within the country.”
“I just saw that the people of the world have returned to the old ways, so I felt unhappy, so I took the Forbidden City to ask. From now on, it will not only be the Forbidden City in Yanjing. , Yingtianfu Imperial City will also be opened, the Tatar Imperial City in Shenyang, and the Korean Imperial City in North Korea will also be open.It is also open, which means that from now on, as long as it is a place where the royal family dominates the world, it will become a place where the common people play and play. "
Mr. Xian Liang shook his head slightly and said: "Where is your majesty's palace in Yushan?
Yun Zhao laughed loudly and said: "On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, when I take a rest, the common people can come and visit, not only my palace, but also the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of War. I also plan to open them one by one to the people. ”
Mr. Xianliang was surprised and said: “Absolutely not!”
Yun Zhao looked at the exquisite pavilions of Yanjing Academy with disgust and said lightly: "The reason why the monk temple is so magnificent is just to let the common people face the lofty Buddha and the magnificent palace." , producing a small one.
The temples are like this, the Taoist temples are like this, the world's religions all despise the people of the world, and the same is true for the reason why palaces and yamen must be built tall and magnificent.
Break these mysteries and look at the same scenery from the same height, and your 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. 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. Xian Liang sighed and said: "Your Majesty's medicine was a little stronger. "
Yun Zhao also sighed and said: "It's not enough. If I really wanted to use strong medicine, at this time, there would be rivers of blood and corpses everywhere by tomorrow. ”
Mr. "
Yun Zhao gritted his teeth and said: "After all, I didn't completely turn the world upside down, which is why I am worried today. ”
