Chapter Name: Convincing People with Virtue

Emperor Hongzhi splashed out a mouthful of tea.

Feeling rude.

Busy put down the teacup.

Xiao Jing at the side was in a hurry to wipe it for Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, signaling Xiao Jing to back down. He wanted to say something, but looking at the straightforward Zhang Mao, he didn't know what to say.

Liu Jian felt like a Japanese dog in his heart.

How did you say that, can you give some other examples? Duke of England, how much do you hate the cabinet.

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang simply pretended they didn't hear it. This is a 'joke', what can you say, everyone can't take a joke?

Does the British Lord have too many sacrifices, talking to ghosts and gods every day, and can't speak human language?

Only Ma Wensheng was a little confused, and he shivered.

Who is British Duke Zhang Mao? His words are absolutely credible. Since he said so, it must be so.

Wang Gongchang is really not as good as...Xishan?

Ma Wensheng felt that he was cheated by those pig teammates again.

He is the Secretary of the Ministry of War. Now that I think about it carefully, all the crimes I have committed in these years are related to those damn incompetent guys in the Ministry of War. Ma Wensheng's face is green and white, but he doesn't know what to say.

But Zhang Mao said excitedly: "Your Majesty, not only that, this cannon is also extremely accurate, every shot is accurate, Daming has this cannon, it is like a tiger with wings."

Emperor Hongzhi had to pay attention: "Is it really so powerful?"

Zhang Mao nodded: "How dare the old minister speak falsely?"

Hongzhi got up his spirits. If so, it is true that the ancestors are virtuous, and the ancestors are blessed. He looked at Zhang Mao and said, "This is the blueprint drawn by Fang Jifan. Why can Xishan be cast, but Wang Gongchang can cast it?" If not, it caused an accident instead?"

"This... this..." Ma Wensheng couldn't explain, so he had to kneel down: "I will die."

My heart is cold.

Zhang Mao shook his head: "I... I forgot to ask."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and thought deeply. He couldn't solve this doubt. Logically speaking, Wanggong Factory has been providing weapons manufacturing for Ming Dynasty since it was established in the time of Emperor Wen. But what happened? The result was not as good as a group of wild roads.

Every year, the treasury allocates money and food to Wang Gong's factory, but it is quite a lot. In order to fight against the Tatar cavalry, Daming paid special attention to the manufacture of firearms. Because of this, there were as many as a thousand craftsmen households in the Wang Gong factory. In addition, there were also a large number of apprentices. There are supervision from the palace, the Ministry of War, and the public announcement. The money is spent, the food management is enough, the court pays attention to it, and the manpower is sufficient. You can't even make a wave?

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Call the crown prince and son-in-law Du Wei Fang Jifan into the palace."

This... I have to ask clearly.

It seemed that everyone felt His Majesty's joy and anger.

The good news is that this cannon may really turn the situation of Ming Dynasty against the Tatars, but the worry is that what happened to Wang Gong Factory, even a mere cannon can't be built well.

Ma Wensheng was a little panicked, this matter is a bit big.

What was revealed was not known to be a big deal.

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao entered the palace immediately, and when they saw Emperor Hongzhi's livid face and Ma Wensheng's ashen face, they suddenly understood.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing in his heart. When it comes to cheating people, Lao Fang is really very clever.

No wonder at the beginning, Fang Jifan did not build the cannon according to the blueprint, but presented the blueprint first. Nine out of ten, he knew that he would be able to deceive people.

On the imperial case of Emperor Hongzhi, there were still blueprints. He pinched a corner of the blueprints and uncovered the blueprints: "The British Lord has seen it with his own eyes. He has seen the sharpness of this cannon with his own eyes. The crown prince and Fang Qing's family made great contributions. No, it’s really hard work.”

After a compliment, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were not yet polite.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "This cannon shoots far, is powerful, and is far more accurate than other cannons, isn't it?"

Fang Jifan shook his head: "Your Majesty, this is not the most important thing."

"What?" Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jianren and the others felt their hearts skip a beat.

Actually... there is a trump card?

How many secrets are there in this cannon?

Ma Wensheng's heart sank to the bottom, could it be... and...

This is the end.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes brightened: "What else?"

Fang Jifan said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there is still benevolence and righteousness!"

"Benevolence...righteousness!" Everyone in the hall was shocked.

What do you mean?

Fang Jifan said: "This cannon contains pearls in the shell. When I was developing it, I also thought that if it contained arsenic and other highly poisonous substances, it would be more powerful. But I am a kind person, and I hope that your Majesty will be able to help you." Under the teachings, with benevolence and righteousness in mind, my Ming Dynasty has always shown kindness to the world, so that the people of the world are convinced. It is precisely this policy that I will never abuse arsenic and other indiscriminate things. This cannon is based on benevolence and righteousness. First of all, the principle of convincing people with virtue is the cannon of benevolence and righteousness, the cannon of conscience. Those who are hit by this cannon will cry bitterly if they know the painstaking efforts of their sons and ministers. Influenced by them, they all missed the original intention of Ming Dynasty to educate the world, and were impressed by His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness. Your Majesty, I have three views, are upright, upright, and have kindness in my heart. This cannon is a portrayal of my son's personality. My son... I think that the Ming army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and should be like a son-in-law, influenced by your majesty, and serve others with virtue.

Master, and killing the enemy as a supplement, in this way, the day when the world will return to its heart and the world will be obeyed is not far away. "

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his IQ was insulted.

Liu Jian and others...can't wait to go forward and shoot Fang Jifan to death. Why does this guy's tone look more and more like Qingliu? Can you speak well?

Emperor Hongzhi asked the case, and Fang Jifan has already talked about this, so what else can he say? I had no choice but to nod my head and said with emotion: "You have such a heart, I am very relieved."

But I thought in my heart, can this gun still add arsenic?

Those in the Nuan Pavilion are all confidantes. Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help it a little: "If arsenic is added, can it be more powerful?"

It means, don't be naughty, you boy, the cannons are out, this is to kill people, do you think I am a fool?

Since arsenic can be added, let's add it.

"This..." Fang Jifan blushed.

The posture is a little bit wrong, His Majesty doesn't seem to like convincing people with virtue.

Fang Jifan hurriedly shook his head: "Can't be added, can't be added, arsenic is expensive, adding it will not have much effect, but will increase the cost..."

"..."

Is this why you convince others with virtue?

Emperor Hongzhi was speechless.

Liu Jian almost choked to death.

Emperor Hongzhi decided not to mess around with this guy: "The Qing family has made great contributions, um...very good, and this is a cannon of benevolence and righteousness, a cannon of conscience, so is this cannon famous?"

Fang Jifan said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I have a name, and it's called convincing people with virtue!"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly: "It is Suiqing. It's just... I still want to ask you, why, the blueprint is the same, but Wang Gongchang couldn't make it, but Xishan did it?"

Fang Jifan did not hesitate: "Your Majesty, I don't want to make irresponsible remarks to Wang Gongchang. Over the years, Wang Gongchang has made firearms for the imperial court. There is no credit but hard work. How can I be behind their backs and say three things?" What about Dao Si?"

"..." Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Tell the truth!"

Fang Jifan had no choice but to say: "I think about it carefully, the reason why Wang Gongchang was built is probably due to many problems. If I list them one by one, I'm afraid I can't finish it all day and night. Since your majesty asked, my son I have no choice but to offend them, so let’s talk about three points today.”

"..." Ma Wensheng remembered.

Three o'clock is enough for him, but Ma Wensheng has no temper at all, what can he say, there is no way to explain it.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded with a gloomy face, "That's what the Qing family said."

Fang Jifan said: "Firstly, the Wang Gong factory is overstaffed, and the biggest problem lies in the succession of the artisan households. In the beginning, when Emperor Gaozu won the world, the artisan households who were editing were indispensable. Therefore, there are According to the ancestral precepts, the descendants of the artisan households that are being edited are still artisan households. The original artisan households were still able to make excellent firearms through craftsmanship, but their descendants obviously have no talent, and many of them know nothing about craftsmanship. However, they must inherit their father’s job and still make firearms. Now, it has been passed down for several generations. Life after life, they have made a living by doing this, and the imperial court can’t get rid of those who pretend to be fools. In this world, there are countless people with ingenuity, even if they are skilled, they are not artisans and cannot be recruited. In this way, dare to ask Your Majesty, this Wang Gong Besides hesitating, can the factory’s skills be improved?”

This is an old question of Daming.

At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Gao compiled craftsman households, military households, civilian households, and merchant households. He really relied on this policy and quickly stabilized the world. But the problem is that after so many years, this kind of household registration policy that has no room for change has begun to suffer from serious problems. The problem of the artisan household is especially serious, because the artisan originally involves the issue of skills, how can it be said that it is inherited? just inherit?

Moreover, because of this relationship, the vast majority of people don't value skills, because no matter how good your skills are, what can you do? What are you doing so well, let everyone eat?

Liu Jian and the others thumped in their hearts. They finally understood why Fang Jifan suddenly pointed at Wang Gong's factory.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, deep in thought.

As the Son of Heaven, Emperor Hongzhi also knew a thing or two about this issue. In fact, someone had already made a similar memorial.

However, wanting to change involves too many jobs, and the rebound is definitely not small.

If it weren't for the fact that such a serious problem was so intuitively exposed by the cannon-making this time, Emperor Hongzhi probably just knew that there were disadvantages in it, and he was unwilling to have enough motivation to change it.

But this time, the problem is too big. Your Wang Gong factory has taken so much money and food, and you can make a cannon to blow it up. You... Isn't this a scam?
