Zhuo Qihua

"Your Majesty, if you regard the development of a country as a tree, the methods needed for development are regarded as talent points. Whether it is from the development of the country or the development of the whole world, the talent points we need to focus on It shouldn't be about tactics, but about technology, knowledge, and creation!"

"So, Your Majesty, in educating the princes, you must let them understand a truth. The chair they are fighting for has a very limited scope of power at the current level of productivity. Even if your Majesty can make it The whole world has been merged into the territory of Mata country, and you can't firmly control the whole world. Because first of all, you can't release the government information in time. You have no planes, no trains, no cars, no ships It may take a month, two months or even longer for a decree to go on. Over time, the central government will naturally lose control of the localities. Therefore, it is better to regard that chair as the cultural center of the country. The overall situation is the strongest Those who are in the center sit in the center of the town, and the rest can go as far as they can, and fight as far as they can. Where they are defeated, they can stand on their own as kings, as long as they have the ability."

"In the future, the monarch of Mata country must learn to delegate power and have a big picture. The princes who go out, even if they become kings themselves, they are still from Mata country. Their surname is Nan Rong. The political system they implement, the language they use, The language spoken must come from Mata country. It is far worse to rule the world with chairs than to rule the world with culture.”

Zhuo Ji walked up to Emperor Yong'an, whose eyes were shining, knelt down, put his hands on his knees, looked up at the wise and mighty emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, what our generation hopes to see most is the The Kingdom conquered the Northeast, took control of Southern Guangdong, and conquered Nanzhao. Perhaps, it could wait until the territory of Beiman and Xifan was expanded into the territory of the Kingdom of Mata. The next generation of kings, they will enter the Kingdom of Haixi, conquer Nanzhao, and Nanyue. The place to the south. From generation to generation, realize Your Majesty's grand plans and strategies."

Emperor Yong'an held Zhuo Ji's hand, and said hoarsely, "I need you for my grand plan and strategy."

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty, you are the most wise and mighty and the greatest monarch in my mind. I will tell you what I know and what is useful to you, Your Majesty. I know that you will make reforms that are most beneficial to the country and will Make the most correct decision. Your Majesty, I will be your most loyal subject. No matter what decision you make, no matter what means you use, I will only support you. I have experienced such a world of purgatory , there will be nothing more that I can't accept."

Emperor Yong'an swallowed hard. He pulled Zhuo Ji up and hugged him on his lap: "I understand what you mean. Reform is bound to be bloody. I don't care about the evaluation of future generations. I want to make Mata the real kingdom of the world." host."

"Your Majesty only needs to promise that I won't be dragged out and hacked as some demon concubine. I regret my life."

"Hehehe..." Emperor Yong'an kissed Zhuo Ji's lips with a low smile. After a long time, he backed away and said domineeringly: "I am not like Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty." He said casually: "Zhuo Ji, after a hundred years, if you are still alive, I will take you with me."

Zhuo Ji nodded: "Okay."

Emperor Yong'an stayed in Xiangfu Palace for one month and five days.During this period, he ordered Zhang Xian to stop any civil and military ministers who wanted to see him outside the gate of Danyang Palace.On April [-]th, Emperor Yong'an left Xiangfu Palace and said to the outside world that he had a hidden disease and was recuperating in Xiangfu Palace.In the past month or so, Hu Pengju has been to Xiangfu Palace twice. Although the outside world doubts about this, they can only believe what His Majesty said.On April [-]th, Emperor Yong'an held a simple ceremony in Fengtian Hall, officially conferring Zhuo Ji as "Xi".This is Zhuo Ji's strong request, he absolutely must not go to the Tai Chi Hall to make a fuss again.

On April [-]th, Emperor Yong'an came to court, and several ministers wrote a letter, asking His Majesty to appoint a new queen.Emperor Yong'an asked with an unpredictable expression: "Who do you think is suitable to be made a queen among the concubines in the harem?"

Officials, you look at me, and I look at you.Those of the grand master's lineage remained silent.People in the same line as the Minister of the Ministry of War remained silent.The only princes in the harem now are Jia Guixie and Dejue, and Dejue has one more in his stomach, but they are brothers.The queens of the harem have always been women.Even if brother Liu was named queen, it was a consolation given by the emperor after he was seriously ill or died.The grand master of the current dynasty was Jiaguixie's grandfather, and Guan Minghui, Minister of the Ministry of War, was Deju's father.Jiaguixie and Dezheng communicated with their families a lot. The Taishi and the Minister of the Ministry of War were not stupid, and they would never stand out in such a matter.As for Concubine Xi, the woman with the most suitable status in the harem, she has no children, let alone.

No one said anything for a long time, Emperor Yong'an asked coldly: "Why, you made me a new queen, but you can't think of a suitable candidate?"

An official bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, although there is no suitable candidate for the new queen, the draft has passed and your Majesty's harem is full. Your Majesty should make plans for the new queen."

Emperor Yong'an: "You mean, let me choose a suitable concubine from the new concubines to start cultivating now? Just wait for her to give birth to a dragon heir and make her a queen?"

"This……"

Everyone present could hear His Majesty's displeasure, and no one dared to speak.Emperor Yong'an suddenly stood up and lifted the heavy imperial case.The heavy long table tumbled down the high platform, and all the ministers knelt down in fright and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down—! Your Majesty, calm down—!"

"Come on!"

A group of imperial guards rushed into the Tai Chi Hall.Emperor Yong'an pointed to the few officials who suggested that he be the new empress and said: "Take off their black hats and send me to heaven!"

"Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy!"

"He," Your Majesty pointed at the official from the Ministry of Officials who proposed to select a queen from among the newcomers, "I will take him to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation. Who gave him the courage to put the candidate for the new queen among the new concubines in the palace!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The official who was dragged away shouted at the other person, "Master Zheng! You told me to say that, Lord Zheng! Lord Zheng!"

Zheng Wushan angrily reprimanded with a pale face: "Nonsense! I don't know you at all!"

Emperor Yong'an: "Take Zheng Wushan down!"

Zheng Wushan kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Zheng Wushan was dragged down.The whole court was tensely silent.Emperor Yong'an stood at the top and scolded coldly: "You, standing here, are here to open up the country for me and rule the world for me! I asked you to stand here, not to put your hands in my hands. Hou Zhai! I, whether to establish a queen, who will be the queen, and when, only I have the final say. Let me tell you again, within ten years, I will not make a crown prince. Ten years later, I also don’t want to hear Whoever tells me that I should make the crown prince. Anyone who mentions the queen and the crown prince to me will be killed! In this court, the capable will live in it, and whoever can't do it will get out of here!"

No one would have thought that the emperor would use such a thunderous method.Emperor Yong'an himself already held great power, and the grand master, the head of literati, remained silent.The Lin family, the head of the warriors, is the emperor's loyal supporter (read: ton).Ming Xun is the grandson of the Taifu. Although the Taifu has passed away, the students and friends of the Taifu in the court will never want to see the emperor canonize a woman as a concubine.Mingyu is now tending to be favored in the harem, so of course they want to protect Mingyu's position.Needless to say, Guan Minghui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is Dezhen's biological father.Shi Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was "tossed" by His Majesty so much that his skin peeled off, was still waiting for the stainless steel, was still worrying about the mirror, and wondered what good idea His Majesty would come up with to "toss" him.Nian Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is secretly discussing with Shi Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, about building the "Liuli Factory", and is waiting to be rewarded by His Majesty in the future.Seeing that the other three colleagues were silent, the three ministers from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites would not object foolishly.

As for those ministers who wanted to ask His Majesty not to be partial to the submissives, they also stopped eating after the emperor made such a fuss.His Majesty has said that it is because of a hidden disease that he was recuperating in Xiangfu Palace, but he did not admit that this month was spent in Xiangfu Palace.Those who were taken down are their lessons from the past!

After getting angry, Emperor Yong'an sat down and said, "Shi Yu."

"Chen is here!"

Shi Yu got up and walked to the center of the hall.

"I ordered the Ministry of Industry to set up a 'Scientific Research Institute' to train elites of all kinds of craftsmen."

In April of the 11th year of Yong'an, an unprecedented earthquake occurred in the court hall of Mata country.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and craftsmen among all kinds of craftsmen are no longer lowly and humble.The rule that the children of craftsmen remain as craftsmen for three generations is abolished, and the children of craftsmen can participate in the imperial examination and enter the court as officials.Craftsmen themselves cannot participate in the imperial examination, but craftsmen can use their knowledge and ability to obtain a status similar to that of court officials.The grades of craftsmen will be divided into fifth-class craftsmen, fourth-class craftsmen, third-class craftsmen, second-class craftsmen, first-class craftsmen and scientific scholars (that is, scientists).

The treatment of scientific scholars is first rank, and so on.Craftsmen can publish their research experience in the "Science" journal of the "Academy of Science".The emperor himself and the academicians of the "Academy of Science" evaluate and rate the strength of the craftsmen every three years.

This decision of Emperor Yong'an was strongly supported by Shi Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.Others didn't understand why the emperor suddenly issued such a decree, but Shi Yu knew it clearly.As Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is now the most aware of the importance of craftsmen, especially after His Majesty entrusted him with the two important tasks of glass and stainless steel.The Mata country lacks skilled craftsmen!

Shi Yu temporarily takes care of the president of the "Science Research Institute".As soon as the morning court was over, Emperor Yong'an called Shi Yu to Fengtian Hall alone and gave him a few pieces of paper.Shi Yu took it tremblingly, and when he opened it, the two words on the top made him dizzy.

【cement】

Emperor Yong'an: "The general principle is written on it, and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry will research it as soon as possible."

"Yes..." Shi Yu raised his head, "Your Majesty, can I ask, where did you get these formulas, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Yong'an: "I have my own expert advice."

Saying is tantamount to not saying!Shi Yu put away the paper and left after His Majesty signaled, but before he left, he heard a sentence that made his head twitch instantly.

"The mirror needs to be fast, and Liulichang's factory department and household department should come up with a regulation as soon as possible."

"Yes……"

Shi Yu, who came out of Fengtian Temple, touched his face, no, he had to ask his wife to get him more delicious food, otherwise he would be exhausted before the work was finished.

Shi Yu left, and Hubu Shangshu Nianqing was called to Fengtian Hall again.Emperor Yong'an gave him a stack of papers: "I will give you five years to survey the territory of Mata country. These places may be where you can find black stone mines. I want the Ministry of Households to find black stones that have been burned without smoke. As for the survey tools needed, there are blueprints inside, you can go to Shi Yu. The three droughts have been severe for two years, and floods must be prevented, and farmland drainage and irrigation facilities will be promoted in all the areas with the most severe droughts in the three droughts. Time, I will still give you Five years."

Nian Qing left without tears, and Guan Minghui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was called again.Emperor Yong'an called people to the study one by one, not discussing with them at all, but directly ordering them.If you can do it, do it.Can't do it, replace it.Facing His Majesty who suddenly became so powerful, none of the officials who were summoned dared to say that they could not do it.Emperor Yong'an gave them a time limit, and if they didn't complete the time limit, they would also be removed from the black hat.

The six ministers were called to Fengtian Temple one by one, and assigned tasks by His Majesty one by one.After the six ministers left, the Grand Master was called to Fengtian Hall alone.

When Emperor Yong'an summoned officials one by one in Fengtian Hall, the Empress Dowager issued an order in the harem to deprive Princess Leping of her title of princess.Zheng Yingzhi was not punished.But after knowing that her father was taken to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Zheng Yingzhi fainted on the ground.The Zheng family was too impatient, and Princess Leping was too impatient.Originally, after the emperor's delay in registering a newcomer, everyone thought that the emperor was preparing to select the right person from among the newcomers after the draft.Zheng Yingzhi has the background of Princess Leping. According to common sense, she has the strength to compete for the post.Because Jiaguixie and Dejuan are brothers, even if they give birth to a prince, it is difficult for them to be the queen.But Zheng Yingzhi is different, she is the daughter of Princess Leping, she has a close relationship with the royal family, and she is a woman, as long as she can give birth to a prince, her status in the harem will definitely skyrocket.

But after Emperor Yong'an chose her into the palace, he didn't particularly dote on her.Among the new concubines entering the palace, Shi Fangyun is relatively the most favored—of course, she is only a relative newcomer.Afterwards, Emperor Yong'an stayed in Xiangfu Palace for a month, Zheng Yingzhi irritated the Queen Mother again, Shi Fangyun and Liu Yanling were pregnant again, Zheng Yingzhi panicked, the Zheng family panicked, and Princess Leping panicked.Princess Leping and Zheng Wushan came up with such a foolish trick. They asked His Majesty to propose to His Majesty to select a suitable concubine from among the newcomers to be raised as a queen. After all, the old master of the harem did not have a suitable candidate.Selected from the rookies, Zheng Yingzhi is naturally the most promising.

When he got the news, Zhuo Ji was in Xiangfu Palace being interrogated by Jiaguixie, Dejuan, Mingxiong and Xiguifei.Emperor Yong'an said that he had a hidden disease, and the four of them believed that the Holy One was not lying.Being sick is no good excuse, especially for an emperor.They were very worried about His Majesty's health, and Dezhen wanted Zhuo Ji to give him a review, so the four simply came together.After Zhuo Ji's reassurance that His Majesty's hidden illness was not serious and had recovered, they stopped asking.Since Zhuo Ji refused to say it, it must be that the hidden disease is a taboo for His Majesty.They didn't know that Zhuo Ji almost said that Emperor Yong'an had hemorrhoids.

Upon receiving the news, Concubine Xi sarcastically said, "Princess Leping is really impatient. Zheng Yingzhi just made a promise and started dreaming of being a queen."

Jia Guixie: "Princess Leping is not in a hurry, but stupid. Your Majesty agreed to Zheng Yingzhi's entry into the palace, just to remember the affection of the Princess Zhaoyang. Your Majesty once mentioned that when your Majesty was a child, the Princess Zhaoyang treated her well. good."

Concubine Xi: "The newcomers entering the palace this time are more ambitious than each other."

Dezhen and Mingxi didn't intervene, Dezhen concentrated on confinement, and didn't bother to pay attention to the new couple entering the palace.Ming Xun was always worried about Zhuo Ji, and didn't worry too much about the newcomers.Zhuo Ji didn't interrupt even more, he had never even seen him as a newcomer to the palace.

After finishing the gossip, Zhuo Ji said, "Dezhen, let me check it for you."

Dezhen scolded him with a smile: "You are also 'xi' now, why do you still call me 忍俍?"

Zhuo Ji smiled: "It's easy to say. Then I'll call you brother. Brother Dezhen."

Dezhen just smiled and said nothing.Mingyu was very envious.As a result, Zhuo Ji called him again: "Brother Mingxi." Mingxi laughed.

Zhuo Ji examined Dezhen, asked him carefully about the reaction of the fetus, and then said, "Both the mother and the fetus are fine. After eight months, brother, you have to calculate the fetal heart rate every day."

Dean nodded solemnly.Zhuo Ji taught Dezhen how to calculate the fetal heart rate, and what kind of fetal heart rate is normal.Mingyu, Jiaguixie and Xiguifei watched nervously from the sidelines, and it was the first time that they knew that there were so many specialties in pregnancy and childbirth.Jia Guixie suddenly discovered that it was not easy for her son to grow up to be seven years old in a healthy way!

After talking to Dezhen, Zhuo Ji said: "It happens that everyone is here, so I will check everything."
