Chapter 737 In the Gift
.When he reappeared in front of everyone, he had completely calmed down, but his red eyes were betrayed, forcing him to face curious gazes... "Secret 7" Chen sat down as if nothing had happened, took a sip of the cold Coco and said: "Then what does this thing have to do with today's conflict?"
"Haha..." Although Old Ouyang didn't know the reason for his loss of composure, he still felt so happy that he valued the flow of water and was very happy. But when he heard that he talked about what happened today, he could no longer laugh: "Because there are many people here who can spin, I think the best way to test the machine is to let everyone experience it personally. Even if it is not good, they can still make suggestions and improve it." He smiled bitterly and said, "Who knew that something happened as soon as he experienced it. The dozens of spinning spindles frightened them, but I was Because they were shocked and got used to it... As a result, the atmosphere became more and more wrong. Until this afternoon, I was sleeping in the back, and I heard the rough sound of the door ramming in front, and it was a mess. I hurried to the front and saw that some of the students were making trouble. They were furious and shouted, saying that the new spinning opportunity had smashed their jobs and asked me to destroy it. They also said that I had a bad intention and was the lackey of the factory owners." As he said that, he stroked his beard and said laughing and crying: "They don't think about it, who can afford a second-rate dog?"
Chen Ji smiled comfortably and said with concern: "It's just a group of people who don't expect the truth, so don't worry about it."
"Um..." Ouyang Bijin signaled that he didn't care, but he was a little confused: "But think about it carefully, their worries are not without reason. The original spindles were shaken out of the old three-spinning wheel, one spindle and one spindle, and they were manually included in it, so the price was very reasonable; so every family of Susong grows cotton, every household has spinning wheel, and women do not distinguish between old and young, and most of them rely on it for their careers. Many coffins of bitter, cold and lonely old, and the wedding fashion of the small family is all derived from this." He frowned tightly and said, "But if this industry is promoted, the price of spindles will definitely plummet..."
He didn't say it further, but Chen had already understood the concern that 100% of the Jiangsu-Song area in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is rich in water resources and is a major center for the textile industry. This kind of efficient and low-consuming water-to-cotton spinning machine will definitely be very popular. At that time, put the machine up, cotton will come in from this end, and the spindle will come out from the other end, one can support more than a hundred people. How can there be a place for hand-crank spinning wheels to use?
Moreover, the surge in veil production will definitely lead to a decline in the acquisition price. Traditional hand-made spinning not only has low output, but also cannot sell at a good price. No one pays for one more money because you have exhausted your shoulders and your waist.
Therefore, even the wise and wise man began to worry about the consequences... If the people's way of life is really cut off, even if the wise man is successful, it will be evil in the eyes of Mr. Ouyang.
After thinking about the cause and effect, Chen pondered: "The old man is very worried. If he starts rashly, the rebound will probably be very big. The people in Suzhou are not easy to mess with. If something happens, the local area will be difficult to bear, and the emperor and the court will not be able to explain it." "Well." Ouyang Bijin nodded and said: "Yes, the original intention of establishing Suzhou Design Institute is to enrich the people [we have to consider more for the people.
Seeing that the two were about to unify their opinions, Chen Ji changed the subject and said, "I am a little confused when you say this. Are advanced tools not as good as original? Since this is the case, is it necessary for our research institute to continue?"
"From the perspective of serving jl alone, it must be far more than 9!j, but the increase in income only enriches those big families, but the people will break their jobs." Ouyang Bijin sighed again and said, "And if it is not handled well, it will be said that it is for the people to seize profits." "Take profits with the people?" Chen subconsciously danced his arm and said, "Where does this start? Is it occupying the mountains and rivers of the people? Is it a monopoly of salt and iron that monopolizes the world?" "The money that the people could make before" Chen was a little excited, and Ouyang Bijin also raised his tone and said, "I can't support it now. In the eyes of many people, this is for the people to win profits!"
"No, it's right. The old man 11. One. One. One. One. One. One. One. One. One. One. The deep breath said = "Sales profits from the people means using power to force monopolize the bone marrow of the people without increasing social wealth." As he said, he said: "And the new spinning wheels bring about an increase in productivity and an overall increase in social wealth. Although it will bring some pain, it will still benefit the general public in the long run. "How-to-talk?" the old man listened carefully.
Shen was patient and said in a temptation: "You don't deny that the application of this machine will bring about a great development in the textile industry."
"Um..." the old man nodded and said, "It's okay to double it."
"You are really cautious," Chen said with a smile: "No matter how much, even if the production is doubled, how many looms will need to be added? How many job opportunities will it bring? Isn't this enriching the people? With more cloth supplied, the price will naturally drop, and more people can afford cloth and clothes. Isn't this enriching the people? If you sell it abroad, a large amount of silver can flow in. No matter whether it is for consumption and enjoyment or expanding production, it will eventually be spent on our Ming Dynasty and let the people earn it. Isn't this considered enriching the people?"
Chen's argument is indeed a bit difficult for the elderly Ouyang to understand. The old man frowned and felt that there was some truth, but he could not completely eliminate his worries and felt a little overwhelmed.
"Doesn't you stop eating because you may choke?" Chen had to use a more vivid statement: "We have to find a way to avoid being choked, or when you are choked, drink water quickly instead of choking!" "I understand a little if you say that." Ouyang Bijin was a little dizzy and said, "If we can avoid the harm and benefit, of course I will support it."
"You are very serious and polite," Chen said in his heart that as long as you get on the horse, you can't hold it anymore, so he answered: "When I work with all parties, I plan a proper way out so that I will not promote this kind of machine."
These words were said very beautifully, but Old Ouyang's officials were so arrogant that they were not so easy to coax. He thought to himself: ▲I am afraid that it took ten years to make it possible to plan it." He said these words, probably to perfunctory me... Even though he said that, he also knew that there is no change in the world with gentle drizzle. Every change will bring pain to some people, which made him understand his hard work. A young high-ranking official with a bright future is willing to do things regardless of interests for the prosperity of the country. It is enough to have this heart. How can he, like an old man, drag him down? Thinking of this, Ouyang Bijin took a deep breath and said, "I promised you, but this thing was made by me, and it has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved."
Chen was stunned at first, and then he understood the old man’s mind, to avoid potential risks. His voice was a little tight, and he whispered: “Sir, what’s the best way to make Chen protect him like this?”
"Just 27 this year, I am seventy-two, your career is still long." He waved his hand, stopped the words of the sun, and said with a warm smile: "I have seen your changes to Suzhou with my own eyes, and have also been to the Shanghai City you built. Although I don't know whether Mini chose this path, it is right or wrong, but I can feel that everything is so vivid and tempting, so full of vitality, which makes me deeply believe that your plan is worth trying. I am really looking forward to what extent you can do in the end and what can you bring to the Ming Dynasty... So don't argue with me, I'm seventy-two, seventy-three, eighty-four, if the King of Hell doesn't hook himself, how many years can I live? What's the point of criticizing me? I'm afraid something really happens, those people are embarrassed to arrest me, right?"
"Old sir..." Chen said emotionally: "Is Chen a gentleman who seeks profit and avoids harm?"
"'What's wrong with seeking profit and avoiding harm?" Ouyang Bijin shouted in a deep voice: "Since you have decided to take the world as your responsibility, you should try your best to protect yourself. You should not have the kindness of a woman, otherwise you should not do anything. It would be great to be your noble minister safely." Chen Ju was shocked when he heard this and bowed deeply: "Students are taught deeply, but don't worry, I will not let your life's reputation be ruined." "Hehe, what reputation does Yan Song's brother-in-law have?" Ouyang Bijin smiled self-deprecatingly: "If you don't talk about these, there is another thing. I want to talk to you. "Please talk." Chen Jue was serious.
"Relax." The old man picked up the cup and tasted cocoa, so he ordered someone to change into a tea ceremony: "I said just now. I am already in my seventies. Have you considered who will take over these two institutes? Also, if you want these two institutes to play the role you imagined, the key is talents, but what you lack the most now is talents, especially the research institute... Although I am a large Ming Dynasty, I can use my brain but not the brain. It is really difficult to find talents who understand technology and can study."
"The old man is very concerned about it." Chen said with a heavy emphasis: "I have thought about these issues for a long time. The final conclusion is that without talents, we will cultivate talents and reward them; introduce talents and use foreign countries for Chinese purposes... Just like the thirty or fifty Thais I sent to the Research and Emergency Institute, they are all serious college graduates and are highly respected scholars in Thais."
"I heard them say it," Ouyang Bijin nodded and said, "In the West, they established universities, not only teaching poetry, books, rituals and music, but also teaching architecture, mathematics, geometry, astronomy, physics... I have to admit that the craftsmen trained in this way are of high level." Until now, they still stubbornly believe that those who are engaged in science and engineering are all craftsmen, and they have nothing to do with scholars.
Asking for common ground while reserving differences, Chen didn't argue with him and laughed: "Then where do you think they are taller?"
"Although they are not very smart, they have mastered basic things such as arithmetic, geometry, and physics better than me and very systematic. These are all powerful tools for research," Old Ouyang said deeply: "Take this ▲我月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月月�
"A month later, they tinkered with two mother machines, and came." I didn't understand because I was afraid that Shen would not understand. Old Ouyang explained: "It is the machine used to make machines, and I named it the mother machine."
I just nodded and said that =▲ is a machine tool, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 'This one is not rare, just look at the arsenic-accurate Western clock, which can be mass-produced, and you will know that there are already machine tools this year, but it is just a little more primitive.
"These two female machines, one with threads and the other with gears. The parts made from them are carved from one mold, exactly the same, which solves the big problem." Ouyang Bijin admired: "This kind of thing is said to be there in the Song Dynasty, but I really can't recover it... It was with their help that this spinning machine can run like a flowing cloud and flowing water, and I dared to give this name. Chen Ji laughed and said, "No matter whether it is black and white cats, the one who catches the mouse is a good cat."
"There are more craftsmen like this, the better." Ouyang Bijin remembered something and said, "I heard them say that it is quite dark in Taisie now. What kind of Catholic Inquisition arrests people everywhere, especially those with knowledge, and they are most likely to be arrested and burned, o."
"Yes," Chen nodded and said, "I also heard that they believed in God, and everyone was a believer, and the Pope regarded himself as the spokesperson of God, and had great power, even above the kings of various countries." When Chen talked about strange stories about foreign countries, Old Ouyang was very interested and listened to him with his ears: "They established a strict hierarchy, treating God as absolute authority, literature, art, and philosophy, everything must follow the doctrine of the Bible, saying that it was God's speech and no one could violate it, otherwise, the religious court would punish him and even impose death penalty."
"So serious..." It's natural that Old Ouyang thought of the Ming Dynasty and Neo-Confucianism. Although it was far from being so excessive, the social ethics established by Saint Zhu could not be violated for a long time.
"Well." Chen nodded and said, "The Jade Sutra says that the ancestors of human beings were Adam and Eve. Because they violated God's ban and snatched the forbidden fruit of Paradise, they committed great sins. As their descendants, human beings must atone for generations and suffer for life, and do not have any chance to enter heaven in the next life. Under the control of the church, the whole of Europe was in a state of backwardness and closure for a long time."
Ouyang Bijin felt even stronger, and he thought to himself: 'Isn't this the Neo-Confucianism set of Neo-Confucianism that preserves the laws of nature and destroys human desires?' Fortunately, it was Zhu Xi who said that if Confucius also said this, the Ming Dynasty might have become like this. He thought that when he did research, he often had to look for inspiration from the Song Dynasty and knew that the scientific and technological level, culture and art of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty were far away from the present. Isn't it just that Neo-Confucianism was harmed?
"But there is a way that things will turn back," Chen said softly: "I don't know when it started, but Taisie began to spread a trend of pursuing ancient philosophers. The ancient philosophers born before Catholicism advocated freedom and doubted everything, which made the people who were suppressed to the extreme yearn for it. So many scholars began to demand the restoration of ancient Greece and Rome's culture and art. This requirement is like the spring breeze, without the protection of power, but it can be deeply rooted in people's hearts."
"That's up to the church." Old Ouyang thought that the scholar of the mind that advocated freedom and unrestrainedness was regarded as a disaster by the official Neo-Confucianism as soon as it was born, and he tried to get along with it quickly. Unexpectedly, Neo-Confucianism is no longer so popular. The newborn Neo-Confucianism has quickly gained countless followers and sympathizers, and can never be eliminated.
"Yes, the Holy See does not allow heresy on its own land, and it must be eliminated if it appears. The Inquisition is the institution used by the church to detect and judge heresy, aiming to suppress all heresy against the church and against God." Chen said quietly: "Their power is too great, and they can arbitrarily search, interrogate and judge heresy. The secular regime has the responsibility of cooperation and support, but no restraint and power to intervene. So he searched for scholars who advocated the Renaissance and suspected God, and if they were caught, they would be burned to ashes."
Old Ouyang was frightened when he heard this, and realized that there was such a dangerous place in the world. He couldn't help but sigh: How much evil did he have to commit in his previous life before he could be reincarnated in Taixi to be a human being?"
After hearing what he said, Chen couldn't help but smile: "Yes, so many talented people are forced to hide their names and flee to a foreign land, and are always shrouded under the threat of being caught and burned to death." As he said, he said with a look of compassion: "Heaven has the virtue of being a virtuous person. Since we know, we cannot sit idly by! The emperor has approved my request, and soon an imperial edict will be issued to allow these people to enter our country to take refuge, and the local government will allow some intelligent people to live in the Ming Dynasty as appropriate."
"Your Majesty is wise..." Old Ouyang praised: "This is the demeanor of a great country!"
Chen was the Minister of Rites in Beijing. Because of the slackness of the two Shangguans, the government orders of Rites were handled by him, and they were mixed with two private work. One was to allow foreigners to apply for entry at the gates and stay for several months as required, except for the Japanese; the other was to allow people who had a skill or knowledgeable foreigners to stay in the Ming Dynasty after being evaluated by the Ministry of Rites.
These two inconspicuous decrees were easily approved by the emperor, which made Chen feel secretly happy. He thought to himself that it was not useless to be an official in the Ministry of Rites.
