Chapter III Technology Blockade
Chen Zhen was quite puzzled by Yunfeng's move of handing over the drawings to him. You must know that he is responsible for the study of classics and is in charge of academic affairs. If he wants to create items, he should leave them to the Arms Department or the Craftsman's Workshop.
'Perhaps the envoy has just taken over the throne and made a mistake?' Chen Zhen thought to herself, and took it over respectfully. At first glance, she didn't see much of a bright hall, just blanks made of clay with the same specifications.
, engrave the reverse Chinese character on one end, with the height of the protrusion equal to the edge of the copper coin, and then harden it with fire.
Gradually, he tasted the purpose of this thing, which was clearly a method of printing books in batches.
Chen Zhen sincerely praised: "Shi Jun is really talented. He can even think of such a method, which makes me deeply admire him." But just after he finished speaking, his face changed, as if he had thought of something.
, his face was filled with horror in an instant!
It turned out that he had the same idea as Yunfeng and immediately realized the impact that the appearance of this thing would have on the nobles and the serious consequences it would bring!
Yang Ming was a little puzzled by Chen Zhen's abnormal behavior, so he took it from his hand and started to read it.
Yunfeng ignored Yang Ming and said with a slight smile: "If Mr. Chen has any ideas, you might as well tell him and listen."
Chen Zhen suppressed the shock in her heart, gave a deep gift, and said sincerely: "This thing is indeed very useful, but the consequences are unpredictable. Please think twice before taking action!"
"Hmph~!" Yunfeng snorted coldly: "Chen's company's official duty is to educate the people in the state. Now there is this technology to print books in batches, so that the books can be spread among the people and the common people.
Having the opportunity to study and become literate is a supreme merit, so why should we look forward and backward? Could it be that we are afraid of the slander and revenge of the nobles? Mr. Chen can rest assured.
Yes, it is not that I have not considered the consequences, but someone sent troops to attack, and I resisted them with all my strength. I have strong soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, so why should I be afraid?" Then he softened his tone and followed the advice: "Besides,
As the first promoter, Mr. Chen will surely go down in history and be respected by students all over the world. Could it be that Mr. Chen doesn’t want his name to go down in history?”
As a scholar, everyone wants to leave their name in the annals of history, and Chen Zhen is no exception. After Yunfeng said this, he was really tempted. Besides, everything Yunfeng said was reasonable, and promoting books is indeed a godsend.
Great good deeds can benefit all people.
As a classics scholar, this is his duty. If he refuses to carry out the task, Yunfeng can ask him to go home for retirement and replace it with someone else. Secondly, I am afraid that Chen Zhen will leave a bad name in the annals of history!
"On a certain day in May of the third year of Taixing, Chen Zhen, a scholar of Liangzhou classics, was timid and fearful and did not dare to promote books in the state..." Chen Zhen couldn't help but think about the possibility of such words appearing in history books.
He shuddered and said quickly: "Since the envoy has given you an order, I will obey it. I will leave now and go to have this movable type made."
Yunfeng nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your trouble. Please tell the craftsmen that this skill must not be spread to outsiders, especially to the countries in the Western Regions. Otherwise, it will be treated as a collaboration with the enemy! In addition, if all the calligraphy models can be made within a month,
I will reward each person with 10,000 yuan, and I will never break my promise."
Chen Zhen didn't understand why Yunfeng gave such an order, but he also knew what should be asked and what shouldn't be asked, so he saluted and said: "Please rest assured, I will definitely bring the words to you." After saying that, he turned and left.
go.
After Chen Zhen disappeared, Yang Ming sighed: "Hey, Duanshan, you finally took this step."
Yunfeng smiled and said nothing.
Chen Zhen didn't dare to ask, but that didn't mean that Jin Yuehua didn't dare. She asked doubtfully: "Mr. Yun, why did you issue such a strict order just now?"
Yunfeng is preparing to launch a technological blockade. Although he has little knowledge of science and technology, as a modern person, he is still very clear about the importance of science and technology. Countries in the world are hiding it.
In the previous life, the Red Dynasty had its technology blocked by Europe, America and other countries. Now that Yunfeng has traveled more than a thousand years ago, he must do the opposite and not allow any technology to spread abroad! In the world at that time, China's technology was still quite advanced.
He won't let foreigners learn from advanced things. His ideological consciousness is not that noble! Anything that promotes the development of global economy and culture should go to hell! He has to protect his own good things. Foreigners think
Study? No way!
Westerners should write on parchment scrolls, and ships should not be equipped with compasses. They should rely on luck to sail in the vast sea. Westerners should remain ignorant forever and remain savages!
However, he was reluctant to speak out about Jin Yuehua's doubts. He thought about it and said vaguely: "Haha, Yuehua, although it may seem inexplicable to do this for your husband, it is actually a great achievement and will benefit future generations."
Jin Yuehua was confused, but she also knew that there was nothing she could take out of this man's mouth, so she could only glare at him angrily.
Yunfeng smiled slightly, and then shouted out: "Come here, call the paperwork!"
Soon, a clerk walked in and saluted: "I have seen the envoy."
Yunfeng nodded and said: "I am going to issue a few orders, please write them down:
1. Papermaking, compass, printing and other skills must not be spread to countries in the Western Regions, otherwise they will be treated as enemies!
Second, establish the Xinyamen Gongcao, which specializes in technological transformation, innovation, and management of craftsmen and private workshops of various government agencies. The candidates for the Gongcao will be selected from the craftsmen by the state pastor.
Third, craftsmen are not allowed to leave the country privately. If they need to leave the country, they must submit a written application, which can only be approved by Gongcao Yamen. They are not allowed to go to countries in the Western Regions! In addition, a skill level system and a distribution system according to work are implemented among craftsmen, and the basic monthly salary is higher or lower according to the level.
The difference is that piece-rate remuneration will be given based on the quantity and quality level of the finished products, with no upper limit. The specific assessment method will be implemented after Cao Yamen is established and comes up with a plan and submits it to the state government for approval.
Fourth, encourage private innovation and invention throughout the territory, whether it is agricultural technology, agricultural tool transformation, textiles or other aspects. Anyone who thinks they have value can go to the Gongcao Yamen for appraisal, and those who are adopted will receive large rewards.
.The reward standard shall be determined by Gongcao Yamen through negotiation and submitted to the state government for approval.
5. Anyone who finds gold, silver, copper, iron and other mineral deposits will receive a reward of one hundred to one thousand silver according to their value, and will receive five points of mineral rights income after evaluation..."
Finally, the focus was on oil, and Yunfeng deliberately described the shape. He knew that there were several large oil fields in the northwest, but unfortunately, Yunfeng did not know the specific locations. However, he believed that with the movement of the earth's crust, there will always be some
The shallowly buried seeps to the surface, and all he needs is this little bit.
It doesn't matter if you don't know how to refine oil. Yunfeng's purpose is only to make kerosene bombs from oil for military use.
In addition, Yunfeng also made some provisions for the Arms Department, which are generally similar to the above.
After the clerk left sweating profusely, Jin Yuehua and Yang Ming stared at Yunfeng in shock. Among the several orders, except for the one about minerals, they couldn't understand the rest at all. Especially the craftsmen, the craftsmen were...
Is it necessary for low-level people to raise their status so high?
Yunfeng didn't explain either. He knew it wouldn't make sense to them. He just needed to use strong means to implement the above measures.
Although Yunfeng currently only owns Liangzhou and his decrees can only reach hundreds of thousands of people, he believes that in the near future, the measures he preached will spread to every country in China along with Liangzhou.
