The two great scientists that Zhu Yinglong had been looking forward to for a long time finally came to Kaifeng. Song Yingxing was easy to talk to. He was still studying hard in his hometown in Jiangxi, preparing for the next year's competition. He had taken the exam four times and had not passed the Jinshi. However, he was not discouraged and had been studying hard at home. As soon as Zhou Huaian arrived at his house, his future intentions were explained, and he immediately packed up and followed him. Xu Guangqi was different. The old man was very stubborn and refused to come. He said that his "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" was almost finished and he could not leave. In the end, Zhou Huaian tried his best. In the end, there was no way. He stole the manuscript of his "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" one night, which deceived the person. Therefore, Xu Guangqi had no good expression when he saw Zhu Yinglong.

After settled the families of the two families, Zhu Yinglong held a banquet at Tingyuxuan in Yinglong Villa to welcome the two great sages.

As soon as he sat down, Xu Guangqi bowed coldly to Zhu Yinglong and asked, "Prince, when will you return the manuscript of the old "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs"?"

Although Xu Guangqi's "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" is not as good as Song Yingxing's later book "The Work of Heaven" is also a good book for the world, especially some of the measures in the most famine seasons. Zhu Yinglong wanted to keep him and take a look first, so hesitated to return the manuscript to him. In fact, it also implies the meaning of keeping people, so hesitated and said, "I have heard of the "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" of the old man. Agriculture is the foundation of the country and the pillar of the country. Can I read it first and return it in a few days?"

When Xu Guangqi heard that Zhu Yinglong was interested in his book, his face improved a little, and said, "Your Majesty wants to read it. I should obey the order, but it cannot be too long. This book is my lifelong hard work and I have not finished it yet. Can I get the one I have not finished it before?"

"Of course this is OK!" Zhu Yinglong naturally agreed with a smile.

In comparison, Song Yingxing was still a little restrained. He was still a juren. He failed to pass the exam four times. He was now in his thirties, but he still achieved nothing. As Zi's younger brother, how could King Xin find him an unknown person? He was very nervous.

"Mr. Song, do you know why I sent someone to summon you?" Zhu Yinglong said to the inquiry when he saw Song Yingxing as if he was full of thought.

"I don't know, so please tell the prince." Song Yingxing hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists. Zhu Yinglong signaled him to sit down and said with a smile: "I heard that the gentleman likes to study strange and lewd things, is there any such thing?"

"If students don't learn, the prince will forgive me!" Song Yingxing thought that Zhu Yinglong blamed him for not reading the books of sages, but doing that tricky thing. There was already a layer of sweat on his forehead. He was no better than Xu Guangqi, and he had no identity or status, and his future was under the imperial examination.

Zhu Yinglong saw his trembling look in front of him, and knew what he was thinking, and smiled and said, "Sir, I am too worried. I have learned from your body." Then he took out three books from his arms, one book "Theory of Art", one book "Theory of Things", and another book "Theory of Alchemy", and another book "Theory of Alchemy", and said, "Mr. Song, this is my opinion on the strange skills and tricks. Please give me some advice?"

"Prince, is this?" Song Yingxing took the three books in Zhu Yinglong's hand, stared at Zhu Yinglong with surprise and said in confusion.

"I won't talk about this anymore. Come on, today I'm going to clean up the two gentlemen, not talk about other things, drink and eat vegetables." Zhu Yinglong was unwilling to say more now, and smiled slightly and changed the topic.

Although the guests and hosts were happy for a banquet, they were still harmonious, but they had their own thoughts.

movable type printing has been promoted since Bi Sheng invented the Song Dynasty. There are basically few movable type and metal movable type, but only wooden movable type printing survived in large quantities. The printing of books in the Ming Dynasty was mostly wood movable type printing. When Zhu Yinglong built a printing factory, he also used wood movable type printing first. Zhu Yinglong also knew that lead movable type could be used instead of clay movable type, but the inks for printing were gone. The traditional wood movable type printing ink lead movable type printing cannot be used. This time and space has not yet been applied to oil. Most of China's oil fields are thousands or even nearly ten thousand meters underground, and there are no advanced drilling tools, so Zhu Yinglong began to improve ink hard. Fortunately, he studied chemistry, otherwise he really didn't know how to start!

The printing workshop in Yinglong Villa is very small, and Zhu Yinglong did not want to print books to make money because he did not have the energy to take care of so much. The only use of the printing workshop is to print books for himself. Since the autumn sow, Zhu Yinglong asked Shi Kefa to go door to door for the people who farmed him to bring all the sixteen-year-old children to Yinglong Villa, both men and women. This matter was done secretly. Yinglong Villa, which claimed to be the king of Xin, recruited servants and maids, and there were thousands of people, so this small printing workshop was only enough to print books for these people.

After reading Zhu Yinglong's three books, Song Yinglong invited him to teach Yinglong Academy and immediately agreed. Although he put his future above the imperial examination, he failed the exam four times, and his interest was not above the obscure Four Books and Five Classics. Now someone gave him another space, so he naturally forgot about the imperial examinations and accepted Zhu Yinglong in the laboratory of Yinglong Villa. Zhu Yinglong was finally relieved. In the future, he only needs to give a direction and give a hint when encountering difficulties, and ask Song Yingxing to tinker.

Regarding Xu Guangqi, Zhu Yinglong not only returned his "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs", but also attached a "Supplementary Book of Agricultural Affairs" to his manuscript, which listed some advanced management and grain planting methods in later agriculture that he knew one by one. He immediately impressed this stubborn old man. Not only did the whole family stay, but he also wrote to help Zhu Yinglong invite several talents, including several down-and-out foreigners. Zhu Yinglong planned to withdraw funds to build a small church in Yinglong Villa, so that they could safely teach themselves Western technology to Xu Guangqi and others, and then teach them to these children. The stereotyped books such as "Geometric Original" translated by him and Xiong Sanba and others became compulsory subjects in Yinglong Academy.

Zhu Yinglong got two talents, Xu Guangqijin and Song Yingxing, and secretly announced the establishment of the Shadow Dragon Academy. Xu Guangqi was appointed as the dean and Song Yingxing was appointed as the professor. Then he divided the more than a thousand children into two parts. All those who had studied were assigned to the Military Academy, and all those who had not been enlightened were assigned to the Shadow Dragon Academy.

Xu Guangqi was very dissatisfied with Zhu Yinglong's distribution method. Why did the people in the Military Academy all read and basically had no enlightenment for the children in the Yinglong Academy, and he was clamoring to ask Zhu Yinglong for an explanation.

"The prince is so unfair that he gave all the children with the word "Dou" to Brother Zhisheng, and all the disciples of the old Shadow Dragon Academy are uninitiated children? What's the reason?" Xu Guangqi ran over angrily and questioned Zhu Yinglong.

Zhu Yinglong knew that doing this would inevitably lead to disputes. He was about to go to Xu Guangqi to explain, but he was delayed because he ordered Zhou Huaian to have several things, but he didn't expect that Xu Guangqi had been so anxious and had already come here.

Zhu Yinglong signaled Zhou Huaian to go out first, and then said to Xu Guangqi with a smile: "Stop the anger, I have no choice but to do so. The court fought with the Later Jin year by year and needed military talents. I can only give priority to Mr. Sun."

"The prince may be suspected of being usurped. Cultivating military talents is the court's business. The prince has neither an imperial edict nor an official of the court. The prince's move may cause criticism!" Xu Guangqi is a Catholic. Although he has the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, he is not as profound as others.

"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Although I have no imperial edict and am not an official of the court, I can't watch the Ming Dynasty decline like this. Now that the eunuchs are in power, the emperor is covered with dust. I cannot see the country captured by our ancestors be destroyed by a group of eunuchs who harm the country and the people. Therefore, I want to cultivate a group of talents first and send them to the Liaodong Army to serve. I hope the elders understand." Zhu Yinglong said hatefully.

Xu Guangqi was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "Prince, although I am old and stupid, I understand in my heart, Prince, you have ambition, Brother Zhisheng also knows, everyone around you knows, Prince, you are unwilling to be a prince, right?"

Zhu Yinglong was very calm and was not surprised at all. If Xu Guangqi had not seen it, he would not be Xu Guangqi. He said, "The old man said it is right. I am ambitious, otherwise I would not have used coercion to bring the old man to Kaifeng. The disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty are getting worse and hard to return. It is necessary to change its destiny of destruction. To complete this great change, my power alone is far from enough, so I need talents like the old man to help me."

"Does the prince want to rebel?" Xu Guangqi said in shock.

"Rebellion? Do I need it?" Zhu Yinglong laughed and said, "The emperor's health has been getting worse day by day since he fell into the water in the garden. He has indulged in love and will surely die in a few years. I am his only younger brother and he has never had any children. I am the only candidate to inherit the throne. Why should I rebel?"

Xu Guangqi was silent. Every word Zhu Yinglong said was a heart-killing statement, but it was also the truth. The truth is that if Emperor Tianqi died, if there were no descendants, the prince Xin in front of him was indeed the first person to inherit the throne, saying: "Your Majesty is so sure that the emperor will have no descendants?"

Zhu Yinglong smiled mysteriously and said, "Yes, of course there will be, but I don't know if it's my emperor's own."

"I don't understand what the prince means?" Xu Guangqi said confusedly.

Zhu Yinglong suddenly looked at Xu Guangqi sincerely and said, "No matter what the future is, whether I am the emperor or not, I will make my Ming Dynasty prosperous and strong. This is my greatest wish! Don't worry, I will not be the sinner of the ages."

Xu Guangqi suddenly met Zhu Yinglong's clear and unwavering eyes, and suddenly shook his heart: "The prince has such a great wish, I am willing to follow the prince and do my last strength for my Ming Dynasty!"

Xu Guangqi also knew that since he was here, it would be difficult to go out. Although he was a little confused about Zhu Yinglong, he also understood in his heart that if he died, if King Xin really did not rely on rebellion to become an emperor in the future and became an accomplished emperor, then his death today would be too worthwhile. After several days of contact, he also found that what King Xin learned was not inferior to him, and in many places it even surpassed him. He was also very good at giving the people in his fiefdom. Love the people and protect the people, and he really cared about these people. Of course, there may be other factors, but without him, King Xin would still do the same thing to achieve the goal he wanted to achieve. He really didn't expect that King Xin, who was called the demented prince, was actually a wise and overlord talent who was determined by the world. He was wondering whether King Xin would be another King of Yan Zhu Di in the future?

After Xu Guangqi left, Zhu Yinglong immediately felt regretful. Was he too impulsive? He told all the secrets in his heart, and then felt relieved. He said something, putting his heart in his heart, and hiding it may not be a good thing.

Song Yingxing really lived up to Zhu Yinglong's expectations. Under his prompts and guidance, he quickly made ink for lead movable type and improved the printing machine, which accelerated the speed several times. Because it involved military purposes, there were no simplified Chinese and Arabic numerals on the existing printed books. These things are now promoted by the military, but as a means, I believe that the voice of opposition will be very small. When people spread from the army to the people and realize their benefits, the effort it takes to implement will be much smaller, and naturally the resistance will be much smaller.
