Chapter 628: Changping Gang? Subjectively, there is no such thing! [End 4]

The so-called first be confident and then be respectful.

Because the evidence of crimes committed by Yan Shaoting against meritorious officials and relatives of nobles, as well as overseas interests, were fully exposed by people like Depingbo.

Among the crowd, there was an official wearing a civil servant's round-collared robe who squeezed over from the edge.

"Prince, can we civil servants also participate in this matter?"

Yan Shaoting looked over in the direction of the sound, a look of trance appeared on his face at first.

Zhang Juzheng explained quietly, "Zhang Siwei from the Zhanshi Mansion."

After hearing this explanation, Yan Shaoting's face showed understanding.

It turned out to be this traitorous little bastard.

However, what is being discussed now is not the matter of communicating with the outside world, but the interests of expanding the maritime territory.

Yan Shaoting nodded immediately: "In the world, the Central Plains Han has its own rules and laws, and we should follow them. However, outside the four directions and eight wildernesses, there are all barbarians, who do not understand the law and principles, and should be taught by the kingly way. Our dynasty is prosperous, and the teachings of the saints should benefit the outside world. Now we need the help of the literary ministers of the world."

How to kill this little bastard?
On the surface, Yan Shaoting explained to Zhang Siwei, but in his heart he was already thinking about how to kill this guy.

After getting the answer, Zhang Siwei bowed casually.

He is older than Yan Shaoting. He is now over 40 years old, but he is only the Chancellor of the Chancellery. The difference in official rank is huge, so he is naturally angry.

Moreover, he was a graduate of the imperial examination system. He passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, and entered the Hanlin Academy as the first Shujishi.

What's more, he is the most popular new generation successor of the Jin Party.

I often hear people from Jin say that Siwei is the crown prince of Jin.

Such status, such reputation.

This naturally made him feel different from others.

After a casual greeting, Zhang Siwei asked again: "If we go to sea, should we use the names of relatives or servants, or just the names?"

After hearing these words, Yan Shaoting's brows slightly furrowed.

Zhang Juzheng beside him looked at Yang Bo, the number one member of the Jin Party in the court.

Although Zhang Siwei has been an official in the court for many years, he still has such a merchant nature, which is really unacceptable.

Poor by a penny.

Yang Bo felt the gaze and immediately looked at Zhang Siwei: "Since the Central Government has made a decision, we should follow the rules. What do we care about when we go out to sea? Fame or profit?"

He spoke briefly.

But the displeasure was also slightly revealed.

If you, the Prince of Jin, want fame, don't think of exchanging your fame for profit. Even if you go out to sea, you should find a name to cover it up.

Zhang Siwei, however, looked calm and bowed.

"I understand."

Having said this, he retreated.

But he had his own calculations in mind.

Now that Yang Bo was getting older, his uncle Wang Chonggu was in charge of the horse affairs in the Nine Frontiers. Since he was supporting Xuanda and Shanxi, he was a general away from home. He only needed to wait for Yang Bo to retire, and then make some careful plans so that he could enter the cabinet as soon as possible by taking advantage of the status of the Jin Party.

The title of cabinet minister came into being.

The weight of the nine borders is also in your hands.

You deserve a share of the overseas profits.

The imperial court also did not want to cut off the Jin Party's overseas profits, forcing them to go outside the Great Wall to earn their hard-earned money.

Zhang Siwei thought silently.

However, he didn't know whether Yan Shaoting stood up because of his meticulous behavior this time and would remember it again.

However, the farce in this association has been calmed down.

As for the account books that Yan Shaoting kicked over.

In short, when the ministers and nobles were about to leave, a thick smoke was seen rising from the direction of the Cabinet behind the Meridian Gate.

That night.

Almost all the nobles and relatives in the capital were busy communicating.

The next day.

The Central Cabinet once again issued a document to reiterate the matter of reorganizing the Beijing camp.

There was no obstruction this time.

As soon as the official document was issued, dozens of meritorious officials and hundreds of related personnel in the Beijing camp submitted their resignations to the Five Military Commanderies, the Ministry of War, and the Cabinet.

Some say they are old, some say they are injured too much.

In short, they really wanted to continue to serve the Ming Dynasty with armor and swords, but they did not dare to neglect or delay state affairs, so they reluctantly resigned to slow down the court's selection of talented people.

Beautifully said.

The cabinet also gave it enough decency.

The letter was sent to the Ministry of War and the Five Military Governors' Office for three days of deliberation before they agreed to the resignation of these people.

The courtesy and decency were sufficient.

Then, with the old marquis Gu Huan at full strength, a vigorous period of reorganization of the Beijing camp began.

Check the soldiers, young and old, in the Beijing camp, remove them from the camp ranks, and relocate them elsewhere.

Select elite soldiers from the garrisons in Henan, Shandong and Hebei to strengthen the troops in the capital, thereby strengthening the backbone of the central army and suppressing local forces.

All in all, according to the cabinet's estimates, it would take at least a year to complete and fill the shortfall in the Beijing Army.

As for combat effectiveness, it needs to be slowly practiced and honed during this period.

This matter cannot be rushed.

After all, it takes a thousand days of training before you can use your troops once.

The Ministry of Industry also received the Cabinet's order and began to vigorously build sea-going ships and warships at the Qingjiangpu and Longjiang shipyards.

The imperial court finally implemented specific measures of the new policies.

Everything has been explained.

Yan Shaoting began to slack off.

The matter was handed over to the second assistant Zhang Juzheng. With the idea of ​​using Zhang Taiyue to death if he couldn't kill him, Yan Shaoting could be said to have put most of the affairs on the former.

Although Zhang Juzheng was angry, he was happy with it.

People.

That's it.

Hai Rui, who was patrolling the nine borders with the Qing army, finally received the order to enter the Censorate as the Left Censor-in-Chief.

He officially became the first person to lead the public security, procuratorial and judicial systems of the Ming Dynasty.

It's another sunny day.

Changping.

There is no city wall in Changping today.

Only a military city was built near Juyongguan to station troops and wait for an opportunity to provide support to Juyongguan.

The building area in Changping is slightly larger.

The streets and alleys are wide, and the courtyards are spread out like pancakes.

Over the years, the people of Changping have become richer and richer, and when they have nothing to do, men and women like to play cards in their bedding.

In addition, people in Changping are rich, so girls from other counties naturally prefer them.

I don’t know how many of them got married.

Every household has money in its pocket, and there are many who do not divide up the family or house.

There are more people.

Business became increasingly prosperous, and also boosted the development of the tourism industry.

Changping.

Today, it has become the most popular tourist destination in the capital region and even in the entire Hebei region.

God knows who is so smart that he used the Changping newspaper to come up with a resounding slogan for Changping's tourism industry.

So close, so beautiful.

Go to Changping in your spare time.

As soon as the slogan came out, tourists flocked to the city.

The commercial street has expanded from one to four, and the food area has been rebuilt several times.

Xiao Junpeng, who was finally promoted to the director of Changping Public Security Bureau, was so happy that he would kick his wife away to sleep every day while holding the tax account book.

The court, especially the Ministry of Revenue, has repeatedly submitted memorials for several years, asking the two capitals and 13 provinces to learn from Changping's experience. In the eyes of the Ministry of Revenue, if all the people in the world were like Changping,

Then the Ming Dynasty must have had sufficient supplies and its soldiers and horses equipped with armor as during the reigns of Emperors Wen and Jing.

The Ministry of Revenue has repeatedly called for the promotion of the Changping experience.

Naturally, various ministries and government offices were not left out and would send people to Changping to visit from time to time.

The Ministry of Personnel inspected the governance level and experience of Changping officials.

The three judicial departments observed how the customs and official attitudes of the people in Changping were maintained.

The Ministry of Industry was busy secretly recording the construction specifications of Changping's buildings and infrastructure.

The Imperial College even sent half of its doctors of the Five Classics to Changping in the name of joint studies, but in reality they were there solely to learn advanced experience.

In this regard.

Changping always maintains an open attitude.

In Changping Academy, new learning was quietly bathing batches of students like a spring breeze.

Four years.

Changping Academy once again reformed its teaching system.

The Confucian Academy still exists. It was the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination system for becoming an official, and it cannot be changed at present.

Medical schools began to set up specific subjects, such as gynecology, andrology, pediatrics, and surgery.

The School of Engineering is divided into departments such as Metallurgy, Mining, Forging, and Instruments.

Among them, the biggest change was in the School of Mathematics, headed by Shuai Jiamo.

It was officially renamed Changping Academy of Sciences.

It consists of the Department of Mathematics, the Department of Physics, the Department of Chemistry, and the Department of Biology.

The five conjectures proposed by Yan Shaoting at that time have basically been solved.

During these five years, teachers and students of the Changping Academy Science Academy have basically completed the preliminary exploration and summary of gravity, ore melting points, metal classification and steam power. However, due to the backward exploration methods, no effective progress has been made in the composition of air.

Although the five conjectures hastily proposed at that time were basic problems, they were not completely solved.

But Yan Shaoting continued to put forward new guesses and offer rewards.

This day.

Taking advantage of the sunny day and the fact that there was no court meeting, Yan Shaoting arrived at the academy early.

The president of the Academy of Sciences, Shuai Jiamo, cautiously accompanied by the side, slightly bent over, nodding, lowering his head and folding his hands, with a few drops of sweat on his forehead and a nervous look on his face.

"For example... now... the Department of Biology has already started cooperating with... with the Medical School. Mainly... mainly, some anatomical... needs... needs to be provided... provided... by the Medical School..."

Shuai Jiamo, the president of the Academy of Sciences, who earned a monthly salary of ten taels of silver and enjoyed a series of benefits, such as independent housing, would pause after almost every few words he spoke.

Yan Shaoting stopped and moved his gaze from the students in front of him back to Shuai Jiamo.

He shrugged helplessly: "Dean Shuai, I am not a cannibal. The emperor is still a student in the academy, so there is no need to panic. Now the academy has no ranks. If you really report this matter, you can get a sixth or seventh rank official position. Don't be so cautious."

The little emperor Zhu Yijun, who had no imperial lectures or daily lectures today, followed Yan Shaoting and tilted his head to look at Shuai Jiamo, the dean of the School of Mathematics, with his eyes wide open and excitement on his face.

Compared to attending imperial lectures and daily lectures in the palace all day, he preferred to study at Changping Academy.

See sir say so.

Zhu Yijun also spoke at the right time: "At present, the reforms in the court are springing up like mushrooms after rain, and the academy has granted officials... I have considered it, but it is not a matter that should be done lightly. However, the contribution of President Shuai will never be forgotten by me and you. The Academy of Sciences cannot do without you. The president's official position is based on his knowledge. In front of the president, I am just a student who still needs to learn."

Although the Prime Minister and the Emperor both said so.

But Shuai Jiamo was still a little nervous.

But finally I can speak smoothly.

"The Department of Mathematics now teaches everything according to the syllabus. It's easy to learn at the beginning, but it gets more and more advanced as time goes by. It takes time to study it in depth. However, the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry have made a lot of progress in recent years."

When talking about the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry, Shuai Jiamo finally showed a hint of pride on his face.

Under the watchful eyes of Yan Shaoting and Zhu Yijun.

Shuai Jiamo said: "The steam issue proposed by Yuan Fu back then, the Department of Physics is now developing a device to convert steam into power. It has been jointly researched with the Department of Instruments and the Department of Forging at the School of Engineering. The Department of Metallurgy is also providing support to find suitable alloy metals for manufacturing. If this is accomplished, the coal mining industry in Shanxi will probably have a big development. Shallow coal mines will be easier to mine on a large scale, and deep ore veins will also be able to relatively ease the hard work of miners."

"The Chemistry Department is trying to make the three acids and two bases proposed by Yuan Fu, but the purity is still lacking, and there are many accidents. Many teachers and students have been injured repeatedly. I think this matter should be slowed down a bit, and it can be vigorously promoted after the new discipline has further developed. However, there has been great progress in gunpowder. When Yuan Fu proposed a new type of firearm, the Chemistry Department proposed many new arguments and obtained many new results."

Zhu Yijun immediately became interested: "What new results are there?"

He often thought of his royal grandfather who led the army in Changping, and he often read about the old stories of Emperor Chengzu who led the army outside the Great Wall.

There is also the story of Emperor Xianzong sweeping away all the evildoers and Emperor Wuzong naming himself the Duke of Zhenguo and the Great General.

Shuai Jiamo glanced at the little emperor, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Chemistry Department has initially solved the technical problem raised by the Prime Minister regarding the use of fixed powder bags for loading muskets. And based on the three-barreled musket and bird gun, a new type of flintlock rifle has been developed, which uses flint to ignite the fixed powder bags and fire to injure the enemy. During this period, the Engineering College also made a lot of efforts and worked very hard."

The flintlock rifle was proposed by Yan Shaoting in the academy when he left the court four years ago.

Today, the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty has stagnated for nearly two hundred years.

It's time to advance the musket and other equipment to the flintlock era.

And there are no major technical difficulties here, it’s just the limitation of technical vision.

To borrow the words of later generations.

It's not like we're making an atomic bomb, so there's no need to be so sophisticated.

It is enough as long as it can be ignited by striking with a flint and can be filled with fixed powder bags.

They are not making an atomic bomb, and they don't even have the technology to fire a metal bullet with a firing pin.

Zhu Yijun immediately raised his head and looked at Yan Shaoting: "Sir..."

Yan Shaoting looked down and glared secretly: "Firearms are dangerous. Wait until Your Majesty has trained himself for a few more years and his control is easier. I will then personally test the guns and cannons for Your Majesty."

at this time.

The three have already left the Academy of Sciences.

We arrived at a place surrounded by green trees at the foot of Shuyuan Mountain.

There are ditches and waterside pavilions on the left and right.

Pavilions and pavilions.

Therefore, many people gather here every day.

Today, however, many people dressed in casual clothes or Confucian clothes gathered together.

Shuai Jiamo took a quick look, then secretly glanced at Yan Shaoting beside him, and finally looked at the little emperor nervously.

Just as he was still explaining how these court officials would gather in the academy.

The little emperor smiled and said, "Are these all from our Changping Gang?!"

Shuai Jiamo, who had finally thought of an excuse and was about to use the fact that these people came to ask Master Nie and others for advice on Confucian classics, was shut up by the emperor's words as soon as he opened his mouth.

Then he looked at Yan Shaoting blankly.

How could the words of the Changping Gang come out of the emperor's mouth?

Doesn’t this prove that Changping is forming a clique for personal gain?
He didn't notice the word "we" in the emperor's words.

Yan Shaoting was also a little helpless, with a slightly serious expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, subjectively there is no Changping Gang."

Zhu Yijun tilted his head, smiled, squinted his eyes, and replied: "Student understands! Student understands! Student is a new student of yours, and understands dialectical materialism."

"From a dialectical point of view... our Changping Gang doesn't have that subjectively."

“But objectively it can exist!”

This kid has started talking nonsense.

Yan Shaoting coughed heavily and said, "Your Majesty, gentlemen gather together without forming parties, and all serve the country, regardless of you or me. If this statement were to be spread, it would chill the ministers in the court."

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said, "I understand, and I know these principles. I also know that some people outside often say that you are using our Changping Academy to form a clique for personal gain, steal power in the court, and want to undermine me. But how can I believe it? I wish our Changping Clan would become stronger and stronger, so that I can get rid of the stubborn faction in the court and let my Ming Dynasty, the two capitals and the thirteen provinces, truly achieve political harmony from top to bottom."

Why did this kid suddenly get so excited?

Yan Shaoting frowned and looked deeply at the little emperor.

Zhu Yijun suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. I am just talking. You are in the court. I will learn well now and help you to handle state affairs when you take power."

"I am here to serve the court and assist Your Majesty."

Yan Shaoting hurried to correct the mistake.

Zhu Yijun waved his hands nonchalantly: "No one can separate you and me, not even me."

After finishing speaking.

Zhu Yijun looked fixedly at the officials gathered in the academy in front of him, discussing the new policies of the court.

There was joy and anticipation deep in his eyes.

I thought silently in my heart.

Changping Gang?
Aren’t we the gang leader?!
