Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 273 Chapter 273, the prince turned out to be a genius, and the Cihong cabinet went to ask for someone
Under Chongzhen's suspicious eyes, Zhu Cihong left.

The hall was quiet for a long time, and then Chongzhen suddenly said, "Wang Chengen, how reliable do you think what Lang'er said is?"

Wang Chengen thought very seriously for a while and said: "Sixty to seventy percent should be there."

Chongzhen was a little surprised: "You actually trust Lang'er so much?"

The confidence in Chongzhen's heart is actually less than half of what Wang Chengen said.

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty may have forgotten that Daming was actually driven to a desperate situation at one point. It was His Royal Highness who created miracles to help Daming come to the present."

"Miracle?" Hearing these words, Chongzhen lost his mind for a moment.

Thinking back carefully, Chongzhen found that what Wang Chengen said was not false.

In almost every war, the less wins the more, and even wars like the defense of the capital are a comeback under desperate circumstances.

This is not a miracle, what is a miracle?

Chongzhen calmed down and said, "But governing a country is not about fighting."

Wang Chengen hesitated for a moment, then boldly said: "The servants have different ideas in this regard."

Chongzhen frowned: "Oh? Let's hear it."

Wang Chengen said: "My servant feels that His Royal Highness is only 16 years old this year, and he has already developed the art of war to such a peak. Not to mention that His Royal Highness has been studying state governance all these years, even if His Royal Highness knows all about governing the country. They are completely unintelligible, with His Highness's talent, it is not difficult to relearn and master in a short period of time."

Chongzhen paused.

After a long time, Chongzhen muttered to himself: "So, Lang'er is actually a genius?"

Wang Chengen smiled and said: "Yes, a true genius, a genius cultivated by His Majesty himself."

"Genius..." Chongzhen read this sentence repeatedly, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed.

"So that's why I haven't paid attention to a peerless genius, hahaha! Well, let me see what kind of surprises this genius can give me."

Zhu Cihong left Fengtian Palace and returned to Duanben Palace in a carriage.

It is only autumn now, in other words, there are still about six months until next spring.

Half a year is a very long time. Of course, every night in this half year should be spent with the newlywed wife Luo Yunyao, but during the daytime, Zhu Cilang thinks that he can still do something for Daming.

Otherwise, it won't work if word spreads about His Highness the Crown Prince's announcement in the daytime.

So here comes the question, what is the simplest and most direct way to promote Daming Technology?

Just as Zhu Cihong thought of this, a systematic voice sounded in his head.

"The host's needs have been detected, and the task is hereby issued——ask the host to form the Daming Science and Technology Bureau within three months, and provide enough space and manpower. Reward: A set of textbooks related to "Physics" for ordinary undergraduate universities, and a detailed manufacturing drawing of the steam engine." One, one Watt steam engine."

When Zhu Cihong heard it, he was immediately happy.

"The system still understands me!"

Zhu Cilang thought for a while and said, "Old Fang, don't go back now, go directly to the cabinet!"

The cabinet is actually not too far from the Fengtian Hall, which is mainly for the convenience of the emperor to summon these ministers to discuss matters.

The name "Cabinet" sounds like some kind of internal pavilion, but it is not.

This is a not-so-big courtyard. The row of houses on the left is used for collective discussions of the cabinet and the cabinet elders handle their respective affairs. The row of houses on the right is used for offices.

Not far from the cabinet, there is the office of the Ming Dynasty's famous Yanguan Department, the "Liu Ke Shi Zhong". It is worth mentioning that the offices on both sides are completely symmetrical, with the same area and room shape.

But there are only seven ranks in the matter, they are out-and-out "sesame officials", and the elders of the cabinet are super officials of the first rank and the first rank. mean.

The truth is, in Ming Dynasty, mayflies can indeed shake trees, and not just once or twice, but commonplace.

Zhu Cixiang's sudden arrival undoubtedly surprised the cabinet members, who came out to greet him one after another.

Zhu Cixiang didn't talk nonsense and said with a smile: "I'm here to see Mr. Shi today."

Shi Bangyao, former deputy censor, now minister of the Ministry of Industry.

When Fan Jingwen saw this, he smiled and said: "His Highness rarely comes to our cabinet once, and this time he asked Mr. Shi by name. Could it be that he wants to carry out some world-famous big project?"

Zhu Cilang said with a smile: "Master Fan underestimated the ambitions of this palace. This project that this palace has undertaken is to promote the progress of the entire human society."

Fan Jingwen was appointed as Zhu Cihong's teacher last year, and he has to teach Zhu Cihong every ten days. With this teacher-student friendship, the atmosphere of speaking is naturally more casual.

After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, everyone burst into laughter. No one took it seriously, and they all joked that they hoped to see the amazing project of His Royal Highness as soon as possible.

Soon everyone dispersed, Shi Bangyao led Zhu Cihong into one of the rooms.

There are three seats in the room, and it seems that they should belong to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and the Left and Right Ministers.

Shi Bangyao asked Zhu Cihong to sit down, and asked curiously: "I don't know what your Highness is looking for?"

Zhu Cilang said with a smile: "Didn't you just tell Mr. Shi? This time, I intend to create a magical thing that can change the world. I need to ask Mr. Shi for a group of the best craftsmen. By the way, not only experience The one with the most abundance also needs to be the one with the most active brains, and carpenters and bricklayers are not needed, it is better to be a blacksmith."

This is not true, the steam engine itself is indeed related to the blacksmith.

Shi Bangyao froze for a few seconds, then said, "Your Highness is not joking?"

Zhu Cihong said sternly: "This palace is a dignified prince of the Ming Dynasty, how could it be possible to joke about such a key event that changes the course of human society?"

Shi Bangyao: "..."

From Shi Bangyao's expression, it was not difficult to see that he still felt that Zhu Cihong was joking with him.

Shi Bangyao thought for a while and said, "I wonder how many people your Highness needs?"

Zhu Cihong was stumped by this question. After thinking for a while, Zhu Cihong said: "As the saying goes, there is great strength in numbers, so let's start with a hundred. By the way, we need to get another twenty officials, and we must know the craftsmen well." Very familiar."

Shi Bangyao felt relieved when he heard this.

Now the north of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be a waste of time, and it is the time when reconstruction is urgently needed. Craftsmen are indispensable in the reconstruction. If Zhu Cihong needs hundreds or thousands of craftsmen all at once, it will definitely affect the progress of reconstruction in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

But now as long as there are 100 people, that's not a big problem.

Shi Bangyao said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that one hundred craftsmen will definitely report to the Prince's Mansion within three days!"

Zhu Cihong left satisfied.

As soon as Zhu Cihong left and before Shi Bangyao stood up, a group of cabinet members rushed in.

Shi Bangyao was stunned: "My lords, what are you?"

Fan Jingwen chuckled, and said seriously: "Master Shi, tell me about what happened with you just now, Your Highness!"

Shi Bangyao: "..."

A few seconds later, Shi Bangyao said seriously: "Your Highness, it should be childlike innocence."
