Chapter 183: A True Word
Europe has become a land unsuitable for human survival.
Spain, France, Sweden and other countries are carrying out "witch-catching" activities in full swing. In the past year alone, they burned no less than 40,000 evil witches, which can be called The results are numerous.
The Vatican is launching the Fourth Crusade, preparing to gather everyone's strength to repay the blood debt from the Ottomans.
During this process, the Vatican also deliberately designated British Protestantism as "sinners" and called on Cromwell, the actual ruler of Britain, to bring order to the chaos. However, Cromwell was busy at this time. Britain is divided into eleven military districts, each led by a major general and implementing police rule.
Resident activities are monitored and dissidents are persecuted, leaving little time to respond to the Vatican’s appeal.
His troubles not only come from the Vatican and France, but also from threats from the Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish maritime coalitions. These countries have formed huge naval fleets and are preparing to compete with the British fleet in the North Sea. Confront once.
Not only that, the church without the pope seems extremely crazy. They don’t know why they are launching a war against heretics during this sensitive period.
The Puritans, new scholars, and people who were extremely disappointed with the current situation in Europe began to flee Europe and find a place to settle down in the New World.
Obviously, this group of escapees was divided into two camps. The party represented by the Puritans took a boat across the Atlantic and went to America through many winds and waves.
The party represented by the famous French scholar Blaise Pascal took two powerful oriental battleships to the legendary ancient oriental country Ming Dynasty.
On the day they left Marseille, the people on the ship were grief-stricken. Among them, the British poet John Milton sadly recited at the bow of the ship: "The heart is an autonomous place. When you think of it, heaven changes." Hell; with one thought, hell becomes heaven."
And Corneille, another dramatist from France, cut off his beard in pain and threw it on the French soil, shouting. When Corneille died, so did French drama.
This time, the number of scholars represented by Mr. Pascal is far greater than that of Mr. Descartes. The total number has reached an astonishing 2,100 people, which basically includes all the heretical scholars named by the Holy See.
After Yun Zhao heard the news, he was so happy that he didn't even put on his shoes. He danced alone in the yard for a long time and crazily paid homage to the gods in all directions.
For this reason, he was even delighted for two months.
Yushan Mountain was so crowded that Yun Zhao ordered to open up 6,000 acres of land on Longshou Plain at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain to build the Ming Dynasty Royal Institute of Technology. Yun Zhao paid for the construction cost alone. received six million silver dollars.
The Treasury Department of the Prime Minister’s Office raised questions several times, but was scolded by the emperor., not allowing them to say another word on the matter, and also warned the Treasury Department of the Prime Minister's Office that if they had any objections to stop allocating the funds, they would misappropriate military funds to continue building the college.
He intuitively believed that a mere six million silver dollars was not worth even one hair of Mr. Pascal.
Not only that, he even issued an urgent military order to Han Xiufen, ordering the Navy's First Fleet to immediately move westward to ensure that the two warships full of scholars could reach the Ming Dynasty safely.
This news completely offset Yun Zhao's bad mood caused by the audit.
So much so that the secretaries and supervisors in the Prime Minister’s Office secretly speculated that the reason why the emperor stopped centralized auditing and disbanded the auditing organization on July 6 was closely related to this good news.
Yun Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to the speculations of the people below. Although the Ming Dynasty was great, wise people like him still had to be arbitrary sometimes. Otherwise, with the pragmatic spirit of people like Zhang Guozhu, how could Can we retain scientific giants like Pascal?
Although few people now say stupid things about Kit Kat and obscene skills, there are still people who despise this industry, and there are many of them.
Science is the primary productive force. This kind of advanced discourse cannot be understood by a native with a lumpy head like Zhang Guozhu.
These people know how to work hard to farm, raise livestock, and mine. If they cannot introduce such a large number of high-end talents, they will be exhausted and unable to do anything big. .
Speaking of which, the Han people have no tradition of scientific research. Even if there are some great inventions, they are basically inventions before the Song Dynasty. There are really few inventions after the Song Dynasty, unlike the Han people. The size of the group is not commensurate at all.
The main reason is that the official does not support it
The second-rate reason is that it was invented and no one paid attention to it.
At this moment, European scholars have basically formed a certain scale of scientific research, and the wealthy people in Europe seem to be willing to spend money to fund these people to conduct scientific research.
Okay, now these people have begun to take the initiative to run to the Ming Dynasty. Now that they are here, Yun Zhao must let these people feel the Ming Dynasty people's fanatical love for science.
If you want these people to know that people in Ming Dynasty like scientific research, you must first let them know that Ming Dynasty has a fanatical scientific research enthusiast. For this reason, Yun Zhao feels that he can completely bankrupt his family to support it. .
Yun Zhao also believed that as long as he continued to maintain smooth communication between the Ming Dynasty and Europe, more scholars from Europe would come to the Ming Dynasty to seek asylum.
The power of people like Qiao Yong who stayed in Europe needs to be further strengthened. After all, only when the church’s behavior becomes more and more crazy, will more scholars come to the civilized Ming Dynasty to look for it. own way out.
Yun Zhao will definitely arrange their future properly, will definitely take care of their lives properly, and will definitely make them happy.These people live in Ming Dynasty with dignity, confidence and status, and regard Ming Dynasty as their other hometown.
Who is the best receptionist?
Yun Zhao thought for two days, and finally at the thirty-six-person representative meeting initiated by Qian Duoduo to discuss Yun Zhang becoming the Minister of Railways The first one voted against, and his one vote counted as two votes. Then, the resolution for Yun Zhang to become the Minister of Railways was completely rejected with two votes in favor and thirty-five votes against.
After being rejected by such an overwhelming majority of votes, Yun Zhang's appointment as Minister of Railways was not even qualified for review, and was sent to the incinerator by the secretaries. This proposal was not included in the proposal. file qualifications.
Yun Zhang, who was originally waiting for the good news outside the People's Palace with great joy, felt like a thunderbolt after hearing the news
He thought of a thousand outcomes, but he did not expect that he would He was defeated by his father.
From birth to now, Yun Zhang has never suffered such a comprehensive failure. Except for the two votes cast by his two mothers, he did not get any votes from the other thirty-four members of the delegation. Support included his supreme emperor father and several uncles who were as filial to him as father.
After failing, Yun Zhang wanted to drink some wine to relieve his worries. After just one drink, he was kicked over by his father who came in a hurry.
So, the furious Yun Zhang lay down on the ground and started rolling around, yelling, and kept asking his father to just beat him to death, so as not to embarrass the Yun family.
Feng Ying and Qian Duoduo were in tears outside the window. Even they thought that the emperor really went too far this time and did not save any face for his own son.
Yun Zhao is very satisfied with the result.
He drank and ate his son’s food while waiting for his son to calm down.
Yun Zhang finally grew up and stopped crying after crying for a while.
Sitting opposite his father, he drank three glasses of wine and said, "My child did not do well there
Some time ago, my child did intercede for some of his subordinates, but... Before interceding, Hai'er had already stated that the investigation should be carried out and he did not stop the investigation. He just hoped that they could investigate faster and close the case as soon as possible if the problem was not serious."
Yun Zhao lost one. Putting a peanut into his mouth, he chewed it and said, "You have done a good job. As a leader, sometimes stepping forward to protect your subordinates is a reflection of your ability. Therefore, seven of the people you protect have problems, and I am not Without going into details, I let them off the hook."
Yun Zhang said again, "You have some objections to the fact that children are always not married. If so, just say that as long as it is the woman you have arranged, you will be fine. I will marry you immediately, without any hesitation."
Yun Zhao sneered and said, "Learn from that bastard Xia Wanchun
Use your own happiness as a bargaining chip to bargain with your father and me
p>Whether you marry or not is your own business, as long as you can resist youI don't care about my grandmother and my two mothers. "
Yun Zhang hesitated and said, "But because the child was too seriously injured when building the Baocheng Railway."
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "As a politician, sometimes you have to If you can be ruthless, at present, our means of building railways are not complete. If we don’t sacrifice those slaves, how can we watch you sacrifice those Ming people?"
When Yun Zhang heard his father say this, his body immediately rose from his chair. He slipped up and fell to the ground again, continuing to roll around. He felt that he was wronged. The reason why he did not become the Minister of Railways was because his father was making things difficult for him.
When he was young, he was very sensible and acted like a fool. Rolling was usually something Yun Xian did. He was considered precocious in his youth. He was like a little grown-up in front of his father, and he couldn't help but roll around.
Until he reached adulthood, one day Qian's mother said that he was so serious. If it doesn't work, you must use the family's method to deal with your father, not the way of a monarch and his ministers. Only then did he repent, and his face gradually thickened over the years, and he was able to do such things.
Yun Zhao looked at his son rolling on the ground, looked back at the two angry wives outside the window, and said to his son, "If you want to hear truly useful words, just sit still for me." ”
Yun Zhang immediately got up from the ground and sat opposite his father again, ready to listen.
Yun Zhao took a bite of the egg, washed it down with wine, and then looked at it seriously. The son said, "I have never said this to Yun Xian, and I am not going to say it to him. Now, please raise your donkey ears and listen carefully to me.
In the next two hundred years, what will lead society forward will not be the army, not war, or even agriculture and economy, but who will have stronger scientific research and have more scientific and technological personnel. See who can implement the results of scientific research into people's lives the fastest.

The military cannot do without scientific research. Agriculture is inseparable from scientific research, and industry and commerce are even more inseparable from scientific research.
It took your father seventeen years to unify the world. Some people say that I am extremely sinister, some say that I am a genius, and some even say that I follow the destiny of heaven, but there is no one. People can clearly see that your father and I have been at the forefront of scientific research from the beginning.
Because of the new technology, we, Lantian, have the most powerful army. Because we have new inventions, we, Lantian, have the strongest business foundation, because we have been using the most powerful weapons. Developed through scientific means, our Lantian's various indicators have far surpassed all the overlords.
In the end, your father and I will dominate the world.
Now, do you understand what I am going to ask you to do?"
