Chapter 263 Will the Goryeo resist?

Speaking of the development of science and technology, Zhu Qi fought north and north for the past two years, and stayed in Yingtian Prefecture, but did not return to Liaodong.

But there are naturally people guarding there in Liaodong. At least the scientists from the Academy of Sciences are conducting scientific research according to the drawings provided by Zhu Qi.

The most important are chemistry, physics, and mathematics.

The first batch of craftsmen were already among the top talents in the Ming Dynasty in terms of knowledge reserves.

Even those scholars who think they are well-read in poetry and books have inferior professional knowledge to them.

On the contrary, those who read the Four Books and Five Classics are more illiterate, after all, in Zhu Qi's concept of cognition and measurement.

These original craftsmen were the scientists who had the most mastery of natural science.

After completing the invention of new steel, new flintlock rifle, rifled cannon, and other killer weapons.

The invention of landmines was carried out, and it can be said that these craftsmen have made an indelible contribution in the past two years.

Zhu Qi also wanted to study some strong explosives, such as TNT or nitroglycerin.

But whether it is TNT or nitroglycerin, it is very difficult and costly.

The most important thing is that Zhu Qi did not know the detailed process. He had only read it on some official accounts, but how could ordinary people get in touch with this kind of thing?

So Zhu Qi had no choice but to replicate these chemical explosives directly with his memory plug-in.

And those craftsmen are naturally not at the point of skipping so many chemical and physical pre-technology technologies and conducting explosive research directly.

It can only be said that this aspect is set as a research direction, so that those craftsmen can try it themselves to create explosives that are different from black gunpowder.

Of course, if there is any research on explosives, some necessary measures must be formulated.

For example, resolutely avoiding high temperatures, and not doing experiments in small and closed spaces, etc. These are things that need to be explained in advance.

Zhu Qi has always done a very good job in safety. After all, these craftsmen are all valuable talents in the Ming Dynasty.

If they were damaged here due to explosives experiments, the death of any person would be unbearable for Daming.

In addition to these craftsmen, Zhu Qi also deliberately let some scholars enter their institutes and let these craftsmen lead the new scholars in the institutes to conduct research together.

There is a saying that smart people may not be good at studying, but people who are good at studying are mostly very smart.

Especially these scholars who were able to be admitted to the Imperial College for the Four Books and Five Classics.

There must be no big problems with each person's head. Although the Four Books and Five Classics are pure liberal arts, it is not that simple if you really want to do a good job.

IQ is also required, not to mention that they are good at math, and these people who are good at math have no problem with logical thinking.

A good grade does not mean anything, but at least one thing is that his mind is definitely a little smarter than ordinary people.

It is really too difficult for you to have good grades if you are not smart.

Therefore, Zhu Qi absorbed these smart people into the research institute, hoping that they could get in touch with the natural sciences that the craftsmen mastered and could become the younger generation of scientists.

Continuing the baton of these craftsmen is of course just such an idea.

As for where you can go in the future, we can only look at the progress of the situation.

However, from the current perspective, at least the training plan for these new generation scientists is still very smooth.

With the establishment of a new school, more and more students are studying education, and Zhu Qi is also full of confidence in the future.

The educational methods of the main new school will always exist. As long as the Ming Dynasty can continue to maintain it, it is now accepting attitude towards natural science.

Instead of grasping the right to speak for those pedantic scholars, as in history, and classifying these natural sciences as strange and erotic skills is enough.

Slowly use these scientific subjects to replace the Four Books and Five Classics, and the scholars trained in the future are all talents who are beneficial to the development of the country.

After all, if a country wants to be strong, it is definitely not the politicians who speak of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but it is precisely these scientists who are imaginative in their minds.

Of course, it is not that these people who read the Four Books and Five Classics are not good. At least some of them have very admirable talents, such as Liu Bowen.

Speaking of Liu Bowen's words, Zhu Qi has had a headache recently.

That is, no matter how hard Liu Bowen holds on, he can't stand the natural enemy of aging.

I haven't seen each other for two years. When I saw Liu Bowen again, I was already gray-haired.

His face was full of wrinkles and looked much older.

After asking, I found out that when I brought my troops to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty last year, Liu Bowen fell seriously ill in Yingtian Prefecture.

Fortunately, he was able to save his life by relying on the antibiotics made by King Zhu Qi of Liao.

However, this antibiotic can be saved once, but it may not be saved again.

If you have serious symptoms such as old age or infection, or organ failure, it is not a problem that antibiotics can solve.

Seeing Liu Bowen's weak appearance, Zhu Qi was really worried about the next serious illness, so he might just take Liu Bowen away.

But Liu Bowen is really old now, at his sixties.

In the Ming Dynasty, this age is already considered an old birthday star.

In addition, when Liu Bowen was young, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to work hard all over the world. Although he had never suffered any injuries, his daily experience was very tense, and when he founded the country and the dynasty, he worked overloaded every day.

After this, it is naturally not easy to keep your body young.

Zhu Qi also took the time to see Liu Bowen, but Liu Bowen himself didn't care about it. He always said that people's birth, old age, sickness and death are destined by God. Moreover, although he had just experienced a serious illness, he did not die.

His body is also recovering, so His Highness the King of Liao doesn’t have to worry much.

Liu Bowen said this, what else can Zhu Qi say?

Liu Bowen was also very interested in the plan of the future King Zhu Qi of Liao, and after asking carefully.

I realized that the next plan of King Zhu Qi of Liao was to open a school on the grassland and then try to settle the nomadic herders in some fixed locations.

Children are sent to school, and they can also work on their own. The most important thing is to build some basic infrastructure projects on the grassland, such as roads and other things.

When Liu Bowen heard this, he also raised his own question, that is, the grassland is not suitable for planting, and there are no very good conditions, so that so many people can gather together to form towns. If it is forcibly promoted like this, it may waste manpower and material resources.

Zhu Qi had already known this, at least when he proposed this policy, many court officials also thought so.

Zhu Qi naturally had his intention to develop the grassland. First of all, the grassland is not actually as water-deficient as everyone thought, especially in the southern desert area.

There may be a lot of deserts in the northern desert, but in the southern desert area, the water sources passing through are actually very rich.

The reason why crops are not suitable for planting are mainly due to climate, not because of land.

However, if you find suitable crops to grow, it is still very suitable for growing agriculture on the grasslands in the north.

You should know that on the northern grasslands of modern China, there are collective farmlands second only to the Northeast grasslands of Heilongjiang.

The corn and other crops grown from their mechanized farmland are also very important Chinese granaries.

The current Inner Mongolia Farm is known as the Chinese granary.

So to people think that the grassland is only suitable for grazing and not suitable for planting at all. This kind of thing is simply farting.

So what Zhu Qi wants to do is to introduce corn, a universal crop, to the grassland.

Then farming is carried out, and those nomadic peoples are transformed into farming peoples, just like now, as long as they can start farming locally safely.

The rest that are not suitable for planting will continue to grazing, and then major cities will be established on the grassland and connected by roads.

I believe that the Ming Dynasty's control over the grassland is definitely not something that can be compared with simply building a few bunkers.

After all, it’s still the same sentence. Instead of using weapons to intimidate others, it’s better to let others live and work in peace and eat and drink enough.

This is the real way to make the people surrender.

It is precisely because Zhu Qi knew this that he suggested building cities and reclaiming wasteland to grow corn.

Only by making the people on the grassland rich can these people not rebel with their original tribal chiefs, and the Ming Dynasty can completely inherit the legacy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the grassland.

By this time, the princes and nobles in the Northern Yuan Dynasty were no longer what the Ming Dynasty needed to consider.

Their personal power has no room for jumping. If anyone dares to come out and jump, the Ming Dynasty will applaud the people by simply killing them. Do you believe it?

After Zhu Qi explained this, he fooled the weak Liu Bowen.

This was the first time he heard this theory, although he had known a long time ago that His Highness, the King of Liao, was very good at improving people's livelihood.

But when he heard what His Highness of the Liao King said, corn should be used to plant large-scale on the grassland.

To increase the income of the herdsmen on the grassland, we also need to build various cities to connect with the mainland by roads.

Let the rich and colorful materials from the mainland be directly entered into the deepest part of the grassland for sale.

Not only when a trade war was set up at the border, Liu Bowen also sighed.

In front of him, there seemed to be a precious scene of Han and Yuan people living in harmony on the grassland, and something Liu Bowen once dared not think about.

But if His Highness the Liao King's plan can be really completed, this is something that can happen just a short while.

Once such a thing is settled, the Ming Dynasty will undisputedly own all the grassland territory of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

And the biggest nomadic threat in the north will no longer be a threat from the great people.

Instead, it will become an indispensable granary for the Ming Dynasty. After all, everyone can know the level of the grassland. In such a flat place, there is no need to say more about the land that can be planted.

Zhu Qi talked endlessly to Liu Bowen here, but in fact, he didn't want to answer too many questions in the court.
