When Du Yinxi and the others heard this, they immediately felt impatient. But at least I have the basic skills. Watch the memorials in order of official position to see what treasures there are in this cement?
Du Yinxi read it first, then handed it to Zuo Maodi, the official minister beside him, and said with emotion: "You're right, this cement is really a treasure trove! If Xingguo Gong doesn't make it public and just sells it, haha , the wealth is rolling in!"
Hearing what he said, Zuo Maodi read almost ten lines at a glance, then patted the memorial and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad. The key is that the cost is extremely low, and the raw materials are available everywhere! If it really has this effect, it will be really effective." I am blessed by the great Ming Dynasty!"
Liu Zongzhou, the censor of Zuodu, was a little anxious when he heard what they both said. He took it from Zuo Maodi and started to read it immediately.
Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the throne, had a smile on his face that never disappeared. He was extremely happy to see these courtiers being surprised, as if he had come up with the cement.
After Liu Zongzhou read it, he couldn't help but look up at Zhang Mingwei and confirmed: "Xingguo Gong, is this cement really so magical, with such a good bonding effect, and it is not afraid of water logging after solidification?"
"Of course!" Zhang Mingwei listened, nodded and said, "This formula is just the most common one. In the future, the court can set up a special official position to study this cement formula, and even get cement that can be poured into water to build bridges. Well, also It can be used in rivers and seas. Depending on the formula, this cement has endless uses!"
Hearing this, Liu Zongzhou was a little dumbfounded. After half a minute, he asked: "Mr. Xingguo, is this also the result of studying things?"
"Of course, it's not something you can think of in a dream, right?" Zhang Mingwei listened and said with a smile, "Actually, this cement mainly reflects physical changes, it's molecular structure... …”
After saying this casually, he came back to his senses and did not say any more. He just changed his words and said: "In short, these things can all be found by observing objects."
When Liu Zongzhou and others heard Duke Xingguo say some words they didn't understand, they not only didn't feel awkward, but felt very profound. Suddenly, they couldn't help but admire Duke Xingguo's knowledge.
Liu Zongzhou, in particular, couldn't help but sigh: "Before, Tai Chong gave up on the imperial examination and kept exploring steam engines. Now I finally know. The knowledge here is really very useful!"
When the others heard this, some knew it and some didn't. They couldn't help but immediately ask again, is that steam engine another good thing like a treasure chest?
Emperor Chongzhen looked at it from above, feeling like "you all don't know, but I know", and felt very proud in his heart. He knew that what he said were all scientific and technological knowledge from later generations.
This knowledge is really good. The teacher said that after the Ming Dynasty is revived, he will devote himself to teaching this science and technology knowledge. Haha, one day, maybe Ming Dynasty will be able to achieve what was shown in that documentary!
He was so longing for it at this time, and for a while, he completely forgot that there was a war all over the place, and he was so anxious before Zhang Mingwei came.
Emperor Chongzhen thought of something happy and said to his ministers: "Actually, I didn't tell you that my husband had already presented a treasure tray before!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Later, Zuo Maodi asked quickly: "Your Majesty, I wonder what kind of treasure tray this is?"
The others listened with their ears pricked up. They were very surprised. How did Duke Xingguo's head grow? Generally speaking, it is already a great thing if someone can come up with such a good thing that benefits the country and the people. However, this Xingguo Gong turned out to be more than one good thing. Was there any before?
After all, it is called a treasure tray. If it is not a good thing like cement, it is not qualified to be called a treasure tray. They are looking forward to it very much. What kind of treasure plate is it?
Seeing the expectant looks of these ministers, Emperor Chongzhen felt very proud, and said loudly: "This is the method of firing transparent colored glaze. I am afraid it has been fired in Jingdezhen now, and it will not be long before everyone." Everyone knows the news!"
Transparent colored glaze is something that these senior officials of the Ming Dynasty are naturally familiar with. Those were all brought by the Western monks. They were just like crystals, very expensive! In terms of value, it is indeed a treasure trove!
Duke Xingguo actually knew how to make this transparent glass, but he selflessly dedicated it to the court. At this moment, they finally knew why the emperor gave him the title of Duke in the first place.
For such a valuable thing, no matter which dynasty it was placed in, the emperor would probably be willing to exchange it for the title of Duke!
Of course, some people have different opinions. Liu Zongzhou, the censor of Zuodu, said: "Although this transparent glass can make a lot of money, I don't think it is as much as cement!"
Seeing everyone else looking at him, Liu Zongzhou explained: "This cement is good for the country and the people. Especially in the south where there is a lot of waterlogging, this cement has more benefits. But this transparent glass is just a display object." .”
After hearing this, I realized that he was looking at it from this perspective. After hearing this, the others couldn't help but nodded, obviously agreeing with him.
When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "What can I say about this! If you want me to say, the function of this transparent glass is far greater than that of cement for the common people, or for us people!"
Upon hearing this, everyone could not help but be very surprised, especially Liu Zongzhou, who quickly asked: "Is the Duke's words reasonable?"
"Of course that makes sense!" Zhang Mingwei listened and explained to them with a smile, "I wonder if any of you have eyes that cannot see clearly and need crystal glasses? This transparent glass can be made into various glasses, corrective Vision. In addition, it can be made into a telescope to make things in the distance clearly visible. It can not only be used on the battlefield, but also for navigation, etc. It can also be used as windows in houses instead of paper windows..."
Hearing this, many people nodded, but judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to particularly agree that the transparent glass would be more useful than cement.
So, Zhang Mingwei raised his voice and said: "The most important thing is that various transparent glass bottles are necessary for studying objects. Various experiments, especially chemical experiments, will change objects, from one kind of object to another." These are the necessary utensils for experimenting with another fundamentally different object."
At this point, he thought of something, and then said: "Oh, by the way, biology, medicine, etc., are all inseparable from this transparent glass vessel!"
In the Wenhua Hall, after Zhang Mingwei finished speaking, there was suddenly silence.
Almost everyone did not fully understand what Zhang Mingwei was saying. However, this does not prevent them from understanding what Zhang Mingwei wants to express.
In short, this transparent glass is very important, and it is not just for viewing or drinking.
They all looked at Zhang Mingwei and said nothing. To be honest, this time is a great eye-opener!
After coming back to their senses, they all couldn't help but ask Zhang Mingwei, what is biology, what is medicine, etc. I always feel that this thing seems to be very powerful.
But after all, he was the Minister of the Ministry of War. Didn't Min Hongxue remember that he was discussing the war-torn war just now? How come in a blink of an eye, everyone is exploring knowledge?
This is the first time I have seen this kind of imperial court meeting in my more than seventy years of life.
So he coughed quickly and found that it was useless, so he coughed hard a few times.
When Du Yinxi heard this, he quickly asked with concern: "Min Benbing doesn't seem to be in good health. He is old, so he must take care of himself!"
"..." When Min Hongxue heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to curse, but fortunately he was well-educated and finally held it back. He ignored Du Yinxi and turned to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, now that the world is in chaos, we still Let’s discuss this first!”
Upon hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but be speechless. Then everyone looked at the initiator. If it wasn't Duke Xingguo, how could everyone go off topic! This is a matter for the imperial court, and something like this has happened. No one will believe it if I tell you!
Emperor Chongzhen himself was the same. He was thinking that he should be the most concerned about the chaos in the world. Why did he go off topic!
So, he looked at Zhang Mingwei and asked: "I am very worried about the current chaos in the world, so I asked my husband to find me to see if I can return to Beijing as soon as possible. I don't know what you think, sir?"
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of Jianlu has been almost dealt with. Although there are still follow-up matters, the situation is good. As long as Jianlu can be kept out of the pass, we can concentrate on suppressing the thieves. , Even though the world is in chaos, it will be settled sooner or later."
Having said this, he paused and then said: "Things are coming one at a time. There are still a few things to do before we can completely finish the matter with the prisoners."
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to suppress his anxiety and asked Zhang Mingwei: "Okay, sir, please tell me about the enemy first!"
Others also heard the truth. If the imperial court was not restrained by Jianlu, the bandits would have been put down long ago. Every time when the bandits were about to be put down, Jianlu would rush into the pass and give the bandits a chance to breathe. This happened several times, causing the bandit to become big.
Just listen to Zhang Mingwei telling Emperor Chongzhen: "First of all, the people most responsible for the defeat of Songjin must be investigated, which are the former Minister of War Chen Xinjia and Guan Ning Supervisor Zhang Ruolin. If they had not urged the use of troops, strategically they would have been defeated first. This battle of Songjin may not result in such a huge defeat!”
At this time, Chen Xinjia had been dismissed from office, and Zhang Ruolin was impeached and imprisoned after fleeing back to the capital.
Upon hearing Zhang Mingwei's words, Emperor Chongzhen said without hesitation: "What else?"
