"If you can't find any clues in your skills, you can try to get it in the materials!"

Zhu Youxiao said it and said, "For example, think of a solution from the drill bit: Since these iron materials are of regional differences, it means there is a reason;

Just like the times a piece of pig iron is smelted differently, the effect is different. This means that there are other debris in the iron or steel material. The iron material becomes steel material, and the debris is reduced. Therefore, you can find a way to smel out the steel drill knife you need by controlling the amount of this debris in the iron or steel material!

In my opinion, once this iron material passes through the fire, there will be sparks. Perhaps it is because charcoal is burned by the fire. You might as well try adding willow branches to stir when making iron, and observe by adding different amounts of willow branches;

When willow branches are different, what is the difference between smelted iron as a barrel or smelted steel as a drill? This is the same as when you soak the smelted iron with straw for a night's sleep when smelting iron. The straw and willow branches are both plants and trees, and have the effect of charcoal. These two must have similarities. As for what they have in common, they need to be carefully explored by the Academy of Sciences."

Zhu Youxiao's purpose of saying this is to try his best to enable people of this era to change their thinking from finding new skills through simple experience and subjective thinking to explore new skills by exploring basic laws and material methods.

As a Jinshi, Bi Maokang was naturally not stupid. He understood Zhu Youxiao's meaning at once and said in surprise: "I remember your Majesty's Hadith! Start by changing the corresponding materials."

Xu Guangqi also took the initiative to think about Zhu Youxiao's words and thought: "Straws and willow branches have the effect of charcoal, but they are correct. They can be burned with fire or burned into fire, but stones and water cannot burn. Does it mean that they do not have the effect of charcoal? What are the commonalities and differences in this?"

Zhu Youxiao didn't know that his Minister of War had already been thinking about his words. At this time, after he proposed the wicker steel-frying method in "The Heavenly Works of Kaiwu", he couldn't help but think of the importance of the steel industry, so he shouted: "Xu Qing family!"

"Xu Qing's family!"

"Xu Qing's family!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted three times in a row before Xu Guangqi came to his senses: "Please tell me your Majesty!"

"Smelting iron ore is the foundation of forging equipment. You and the Biqing family think more ways to increase the iron production in our Ming Dynasty. This iron production is not only conducive to the manufacturing of weapons, but also for farming, so that every household has the powerful tools to reclaim wasteland and plow fields, and think about some new methods of smelting iron."

Zhu Youxiao ordered.

"yes!"

Xu Guangqi and Bi Maokang both replied.

Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "There is another point, you must remember that the General Administration of Ordnance Manufacturing is responsible for improving standard weapons, but the research and development of various new firearms still has to be done by the Ming Academy of Engineering. Each must perform its own duties. It cannot be too many but not too many, nor too many new firearms appear, and only improve on the original firearms. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Xu Guangqi and Bi Maokang replied again.

Zhu Youxiao pointed out that as far as he knew, the Ming Dynasty's firearms were very complete in types, with various functions, even landmines and water mines, but he did not spend more energy on improving the muskets and cannons as the main equipment.

Zhu Youxiao hopes to change the problem of the development of Ming weapons through the role of his emperor. While maintaining the original advantages, he also spends energy to improve the muskets and artillery as the main equipment. This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao set up a special musket and artillery bureau.

...

While Zhu Youxiao inspected the General Administration of Ordnance Manufacturing, the 1,000th headquarters of the Guards Camp also embarked on the journey to Liaodong.

At the same time, Qin Liangyu, who stayed in Beijing, also led the Baigang Soldiers and Tong Zhongkui's Sichuan Soldiers back to Sichuan.

Next, there were only military forces such as the 2000th headquarters of the Guards, the Jingying and Jinyiwei left in the entire capital.

Among them, the 2000th headquarters of the Guards Camp is ready to ensure the emperor's safety at any time.

The Beijing Camp is still in a half-dead state as usual.

The Jinyiwei continued to expand its strength and strengthen the training of spies in detail to prepare to provide reliable military intelligence to the Ming Empire in frequent military operations in the future according to the will of Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

This is considered the old profession of the Jinyiwei.

Zhu Youxiao soon after inspecting the General Administration of Ordnance Manufacturing, he told Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng, and issued an order to clearly separate the functions of the East Factory and the Jinyiwei.

All Jinyiwei personnel working in the East Factory were re-granted to the corresponding official positions of the East Factory.

The Jinyiwei was independent, and Tian Ergeng was the commander, who was fully responsible for the collection of external intelligence, especially military intelligence, and of course, he was still responsible for the public security in the imperial city.

besides.

Before the first term of the military officers in the Ming Dynasty martial arts lecture hall graduated, Zhu Youxiao issued an order to ask Xu Guangqi to recruit the second term of the military officers, and there are still fifty. Now the second-bank officers are about to graduate, Zhu Youxiao asked Xu Guangqi to start the third term of the recruitment, thinking that he would prepare for the expansion of the new Yulin Guard Army in the future.

"After graduating the second phase, the recruitment of the Yulin Guard will continue to be expanded. This time, we will still recruit from the imperial village. However, after the third phase, the recruitment of the officers cannot be recruited only from the imperial village, because the young and strong people in the imperial village are not enough. At that time, recruiting from farmers with household registration in the capital can be found in the innocent family. In addition, the enrollment scale of the third phase of the officers will increase, and some subjects will be added, such as adding the secret service department, and some powerful and loyal and reliable recruits from the border army will be given the opportunity to join the Yulin Guard!"

Zhu Youxiao was instructing Xu Guangqi at this time because of the martial arts lecture.

Xu Guangqi hurriedly said yes.

It is obvious that Zhu Youxiao intends to turn the Ming Dynasty martial arts lecture hall into an increasingly comprehensive military academy in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao has been preparing to directly change the Ming Dynasty Martial Arts Hall to the Royal Central Military Academy after the scale of the Ming Dynasty Martial Arts Hall will be expanded in the future, as the cradle for cultivating the emperor's direct generals.

...

"Emperor! I have something to report. The last round of selection of concubines has now reached the last round. Three of the fifty concubines must be selected as the queen and the imperial concubine. I also ask Your Majesty to show you which concubine is temporarily in charge of the Empress Dowager for His Majesty to choose who can be the emperor and the imperial concubine."

On this day, Liu Ruoyu mentioned the election of a concubine to Zhu Youxiao.

Because there have been many major cases this year, and Zhu Youxiao asked the Dongchang to investigate the process of selecting concubines more closely, so this time, the selection of concubines took a longer time.

"I'm sorry that my biological mother and legitimate mother are not alive. The seal of the empress dowager cannot be given lightly, and they must have a great compassion and love! But how can I judge! In my opinion, there is no empress dowager at the Ming Dynasty now, but the arrangements of God and the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty are to prevent me from having harems and relatives from interfering in politics after I ascend to the throne at a young age. Therefore, the empress and the imperial concubines are chosen by me and told the concubines that they only care about their old age. I will not disturb their tranquility in the harem."

Zhu Youxiao would not find someone to be unhappy for himself.

Because Zhu Youxiao did not want to rebel in the future after the reform touched more vested interest groups, some people would rebel in the name of the empress dowager's secret decree, and even depose him in the name of the empress dowager.

Although there is no interference in the harem of the Ming Dynasty, if there is really a civil servant supporting the empress dowager to interfere in politics, then "the harem cannot interfere in politics" will only become a piece of paper.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not appoint a concubine to be temporarily the queen mother because he wanted to choose a concubine. He also used the predecessors of the Ming Dynasty to prevent the harem and relatives from interfering in politics and did not allow the empress dowager to appear in the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, if anyone wants to become the queen mother, it means that he wants to interfere in politics in the harem or even let foreign relatives interfere in politics.

"I obey the order!"

Liu Ruoyu replied.

...

"What? The emperor wants to choose a concubine himself and not allow a certain concubine to take the post of Empress Dowager temporarily?"
