Ming Dynasty: My Father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 371 Technology! Mr. Chen Ji’s Advice!

Latest website:

In the Wenhua Hall, there was endless noise.

Because of the sudden suggestion of the wise minister Jin Chun, all the Cheng Zhu Jinshen seemed to have found their backbone.

Without much hesitation, they immediately seconded the proposal to support Jin Chun.

For these Cheng and Zhu Jin gentry, no matter what purpose Jin Chun harbored, as long as he opposed the new policies of the Han Dynasty, they could agree and follow him.

With Mr. Jin charging at the front, they only need to wave the flag and shout from behind. Why not?

Suddenly, Hu Yuancheng seemed to be the target of public criticism, and a group of Jin gentry targeted him one after another.

In particular, Hu Yuancheng was not originally from Ming Dynasty, but from Annan, and he was the prince of Annan in the past.

With such a connection, he was already ostracized by the civil servants and gentry.

Moreover, because of the position of director of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau created by the King of Han, his rank and salary were equal to those of the six ministers, which made all the gentry jealous!

All old and new grudges are settled together, these people are eager to kill Hu Yuancheng!

Hu Yuancheng had been an official in the Ming Dynasty for many years and had long been accustomed to the deliberate exclusion and suppression of these courtiers.

In the past, if he was sprayed, he would just spray it and not say anything at all.

But now, it’s different!

Hu Yuancheng always keeps in mind the words of His Highness the King of Han: "Technology is the primary productive force!"

And those who develop technology can only be craftsmen!

You can't possibly let these gentry gentlemen go to the blacksmith shop to strike iron for a day, right?

Therefore, the imperial court must improve the treatment of craftsmen, so that these craftsmen can study their skills with peace of mind, support their families and ensure food and clothing, and no longer have to worry about making a living!

Especially those top craftsmen with superb skills, which are simply treasures for the Ming Dynasty. However, in addition to the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, there are many such master craftsmen all over the world. They don't even have enough to eat and live like beggars. How can this be done?

The Ministry of Industry established the Ming Dynasty Trade Union and rated the world's craftsmen. This was only the first step.

The second step was to formulate a new craftsman household system according to the craftsmen's level. According to different technical levels, their corvee taxes would be reduced or exempted as appropriate.

There is a third step, which is to open a special craftsman school to spread scientific knowledge and develop various skills. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty climb up the technological tree and embark on the road to truly rejuvenate and strengthen the country!

This is a three-step strategy to strengthen the country that was personally discussed and formulated by the Supervisor of the Kingdom, the Prince of Han, Song Li, Minister of Industry, and Hu Yuancheng, Director of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau.

But Hu Yuancheng never expected that the Ministry of Industry had just started to implement the first step, and it was like poking a hornet's nest. Cheng Zhu Jinshen resisted desperately and refuted and made things difficult for him in every possible way!

Oh, when His Highness the King of Han was supervising the country and governing the country, he didn’t even dare to let out a fart. Now that His Highness the King of Han is gone, people have started to jump out. It’s so shameless!

Hu Yuancheng had no choice but to stubbornly insist on forming the Ming Dynasty Trade Union.

The fire was burning on him, and it was related to whether his reputation would last forever. Song Li became impatient and no longer protected himself wisely. He led his minister Zhao Yi and others to engage in a verbal battle with the Confucian scholars.

In fact, among the six departments of Li Hu, Li, Bing, Punishment, and Work, the Ministry of Work originally had the least authority, so it ranked last and never had much sense of participation.

If officials from the Ministry of Industry want to leave their mark in history, there is almost no other possibility except dredging canals and regulating the Yellow River like Song Li did.

But now, His Highness the King of Han has shown them a clear path, a path that will leave a name in history!

As long as the matter of the Ming Dynasty Trade Union is handled well, in addition to Song Li, the minister of the Ministry of Works, Zhao Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Works, and even prominent figures in the Ministry of Works, can become the founders of the Ming Dynasty Trade Unions, and they are destined to leave a mark in the history books. Pen!

No literati can resist the temptation to leave a name in history and be famous for generations to come.

Especially for Qingshui Yamen like the Ministry of Industry, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity!

Now, if you don't let me set up a trade union, you will cut off my path to leave a name in history. It would be strange if I don't fight with you!

As a result, a strange scene appeared in the hall.

Compared with Hu Yuancheng, the director of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, everyone in the Ministry of Industry was even more furious. In the past, they were all good people, but now they have become the disciples of famous families who are quarreling with the scholars. !

Big Fatty was also surprised when he saw this, and secretly lamented the charm of this guy.

Under his control, the Ministry of Works actually changed its temper uncharacteristically.

I don’t know whether this change is good or bad.

Jin Chun was also very confused at this moment. He just mentioned that the regulations of the Ming Trade Union were not properly formulated, so he suggested that it be postponed.

In the end, he never expected that just by mentioning such a thing, these courtiers were going crazy one by one. Before he could say anything, they started to quarrel with each other.

Moreover, it was all civil servants who were quarreling with each other. Zhu Yong, Xu Qin and other military attachés and ministers were watching with great interest, and almost applauded!

What the hell is going on?

Seeing that these courtiers were arguing again, Big Fatty took the opportunity to lose his temper, scolded the courtiers angrily, and then got up and ran away.

The second brother could only understand half of these new policies with Big Pangpang's current perspective, so he wisely chose to use a procrastination trick and wait for the news to come back from Northern Xinjiang.

As for these civil servants, he didn't want to pay attention to them at all. None of them were good things.

As soon as the prince left, the officials lost their scruples and left one by one while cursing. Zhu Yong and Xu Qin also joined the battlefield, helping Song Li and Hu Yuancheng to scold Cheng and Zhu Jinshen angrily.

They don't understand the benefits of this labor union. They only know that this is a new policy proposed by His Highness the King of Han, so they must implement it resolutely.

Anyone who dares to object is not a good person. Just scold him or even beat him.

Zhu Yong took advantage of Fang Bin not paying attention and kicked him to the ground from behind.

Before Fang Bin could react, Xu Qin shouted "Brothers, come on". The next moment, a storm of fists and kicks came over, beating Fang Bin until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

By the time the Forbidden Army soldiers arrived to maintain order, Zhu Yong and others had already fled.

Poor Minister Fang, he was beaten twice in one court meeting and lay on the ground groaning and wailing.

Chen Mansion, study room.

Xie Jin, Wang Jing and Hu Yuancheng are all here.

After going to court, they had a premonition of the coming crisis, so they rushed to the Chen Mansion together, ready to ask Big Brother Chen Ji's opinion.

After all, what happened at the court meeting today was enough to make them feel a sense of fatal crisis.

Those Cheng Zhu Jinshen looked ferocious, and they wanted to eat the six of them alive!

After listening to Xie Jin Wang Jing's narrative quietly, Mr. Chen frowned tightly.

Seeing this situation, the six of them were a little silent, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, Chen Ji sighed.

"Cheng Zhu's counterattack has begun!"

"Tang Zong requested the abolition of the academic department, Fang Bin petitioned to impeach the kings, and Jin Chun petitioned to postpone the formation of the trade union. Among the three, Jin Chun was devoted to the country, but Tang Zong and Fang Bin began to fight back. In order to Oppose and object!”

"This is just the first wave of testing. In the days to come, their counterattack will be more violent. The six of you will definitely become the target of public criticism, especially Gongbao and Gongfu. The most important thing for Cheng and Zhu is to monopolize the imperial examination and learning. Zheng, you two are the most dangerous!"

Jie Gongbao and Chen Gongfu nodded with deep understanding, their expressions were very ugly.

Hu Yuancheng said thoughtfully: "Mr. Chen, the situation should not be that serious. His Highness the Crown Prince has spoken out to defend us many times today..."

"Oh, that's because he is still not sure about the life or death of His Highness the King of Han!"

"What?" Jie Jin and the other six were shocked, unable to hide their horror.

Your Highness, King of Han, are you okay?

Chen Ji looked at the six people expressionlessly and sighed: "I ask you, when did the rumor of the sudden death of the King of Han spread? Was it just a few days ago? It was less than ten days, right?"

"Even if we use Jinyiwei's secret channel to send the news from Peiping back to Jinling, it will still take more than half a month, not to mention that His Highness the King of Han is far away in Lingbei. Let alone ten days, there may not be any news in two months!"

As soon as these words came out, the six members of Jie Jin felt as if they were struck by lightning!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this just to appease people's hearts. This is why he chose He Xini and remained indifferent in the face of Cheng Zhu Jinshen's counterattack!"

"At the same time, these two months will also be the most painful time for you. Cheng and Zhu Jinshen also understand this truth, so they will attack and impeach the six of you at all costs until the conclusive news that His Highness the King of Han is alive comes. Only the Crown Prince will make up his mind to continue implementing the New Deal!"

Chen Ji was a little sad because he had been the prince's tutor and knew the prince Zhu Gaochi very well.

It is true that His Royal Highness is generous and kind, but it is also true that he is indecisive.

Once something happens to His Highness the King of Han, this new learning will definitely become the target of public criticism.

Thinking about it, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Chen Ji took the initiative and said: "Yuan Cheng, give me the textbooks and scientific manuscripts of the new study. Even if it is impossible, you must keep the fire of the new study. I will let the Chen family's disciples give it to me." Keep it safe until the day it is born, and then make it public."

When the six people heard this, they felt miserable in their hearts.

Jie Gongbao sighed and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chen, is the situation really so critical?"

"Yes." Chen Ji looked at the six people and sighed: "Once the King of Han dies, the prince will definitely abolish all new policies in order to stabilize the court, especially the new learning that affects the world, and it will suffer a devastating blow."

Seeing that the six people were a little discouraged, Chen Ji smiled and comforted: "What's wrong? Do you regret promoting the new learning?"

"Most of the seven of you and I were forced to enter the institute by Prince Han. But after we really understand this new learning and science, we are extremely happy, aren't we?"

Chen Ji stood up and looked at everyone.

"The King of Han did not choose us, but Xinxue chose us."

"This world is still ignorant. Emperors, generals, officials, and gentry have not even seen the true face of this world. How can they talk about adhering to the will of God and benefiting the common people?"

"This is the responsibility of you and me. We cannot shirk it, let alone shirk it, right?"

After a pause, Chen Ji continued to encourage: "Everyone, back then, Zhu Xi's teachings were also refuted as pseudo-study. This is a difficulty and obstacle that every new study must face!"

"Over time, it will naturally prove that you and I are right, and we will be given the honor we deserve!"

"Micro man, who I go?"

The six people nodded firmly, as if they had returned to the happy days in the Prison Research Institute.

After they left, Chen Ji looked towards the north of Xinjiang, his expression extremely solemn.

"Your Highness, King of Han, you must come back alive!"
