Chapter 124 The simpler the business, the easier it is to do

This is what a senior scientist does.

Generally speaking, scientific research cannot be independent.

If you discover a scientist, you are likely to discover a nest of scientists.

This is what Xu Guangqi does.

Yun Zhao had never heard of Jinnige, but Joshua Chan! Yun Zhao still knew about it.

Although he was a theologian and an astronomer, this did not prevent the Qing Dynasty from using him as an artillery expert.

The Chinese are pragmatic. Although the astronomical calendar is important, during the war, an artillery expert was even more important to the country.

In order to gain some Western knowledge, Xu Guangqi could join the Church of Jesus, which was some compromises he made to gain knowledge.

In order to gain some artillery knowledge, the Qing rulers could promise Johnson Chan to give high salaries and convenient conditions for preaching.

In order to make the cannon in his mind appear earlier, Yun Zhao is also preparing to make some compromises - such as kidnapping Johnson Tom!

According to the experience of dealing with scientists in later generations, talking to scientists is purely about seeking abuse by yourself!

Especially the truly capable scientists are surprisingly consistent in their attitude towards the government - they do not regard officials as human beings!

After inspecting the temperature-controlled greenhouse built by Yun Zhao, a rigorous agronomist built by himself, he found that Yun Zhao had not obtained the consent of the invention patentee and planned to expand it in the village.

In order to encourage Yun Zhao to do this, he poured a cup of tea on Yun Zhao's face, then sued Yun Zhao's behavior to the superior government, and threatened to see him in court.

The superior government apologized to the experts, made up for the patent fee, and severely criticized Yun Zhao's behavior, of course, mainly criticizing his stupid behavior of finding experts to find technical support for rural civil law greenhouses without any trouble.

Since then, Yun Zhao usually walks around when he meets scientists.

Facing a theologian and scientist, Yun Zhao felt that he could not use the ordinary way of doing things to invite this person!

Kidnapping is undoubtedly the most convenient, direct, and possibly the most effective way.

Everyone in Xi'an knows that six years ago, a blond, blue-eyed alien, Jinnige, built a temple in Lianhu Lake called Peter Hall.

Two years later, Kinnik was seriously ill and was replaced by a Jesuit priest named Joshua Tsang. With the support of the Jinshi Wang Zheng, it was expanded. The temple after it was built was called the Church of Our Lady of God.

Although the priest was kind, he often gave some homeless children some food, some clothes, and even took home homeless children to stay in church.

He did not leave a good reputation.

Mainly, many people in Xi'an believe that this alien with a big beard and red hair and green eyes are delicious. Those little beggars never came out after entering the church...

Therefore, John Cho's missionary career progressed surprisingly slowly, and even the servants he recruited were unwilling to follow him and believe in Jesus.

"Young, do you believe in Jesus?"

Yun Zhao asked about the money.

Qian Shaoshao said: "Does the young master think I should believe in Jesus? If necessary, of course I can believe it!"

"How do you believe in Jesus and teach you how to see?"

"It's not impossible. It's mainly because it depends on whether it's important or not. If it's important, my sister will believe it very piously."

"Where is Yun Yang?"

"It probably is a bit difficult."

"Cloud roll, clouds spread, clouds fly, clouds and others?"

"You can believe it. If you don't believe it, the young master will believe it if you beat them. Should the young master believe it?"

"I'll forget it. If I believe it, what should I do if there are a bunch of ancestors in my family? Who will sacrifice it?"

"How many years do we want to believe in this thing?"

"Until my ideal gunpowder and cannon come out, you will do whatever you want. Maybe you will like to believe in Jesus in the future."

Qian Shaoshao smiled, and he felt that the young master's words were getting more and more boring now.

"There is a stone tablet in Jinsheng Temple. Remember to get it back for me."

"What kind of stone tablet?"

"The Chinese popular monument of Nestorian Nestorians in the Qin Dynasty!"

"Oh, Jinsheng Temple may not be accurate! You will definitely not give to Jinsheng Temple. How can we get the monument back? Use it to rob?"

"Send some refugees to Jinsheng Temple, and you should be able to bring this monument back, right?"

"Okay, I'll ask Gao Jie to do it. He is more active. The young master said he would kidnap a Fanbang monk. Who would do it?"

"You and your sister will take people there, but you have to wait until the church on Yushan is built before going there.

In the future, we will come here many Fanbang monks. It is not good if there is no suitable temple. I have asked Mr. Feng Qi from Yushan Academy to preside over the construction. Fortunately, the stones, bricks, wood, and craftsmen are all ready-made. The craftsmen in Xi'an City are also here. The residence can be repaired in about two months, and the main hall should be built in half a year."

Qian Shaoshao looked at Yun Zhao and said, "Since we siblings are doing it, it's just a cheat rather than a kidnapping, right?"

Yun Zhao looked at Qian Shaoshao and smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "I only want people, and there will be many Fanbang monks in the future. I don't want their gods. I just want the knowledge in their belly.

We in the Ming Dynasty looked down on Qicao's erotic skills, but we don't know that many so-called Qicao's erotic skills are very useful to us. The monks of Fanbang have reached a very high level of research on Qicao's erotic skills."

Qian Shaoshao nodded and said, "Okay, since it's not a force, then you need to give me some time."

Yun Zhao shrugged and said, "With you, I will tell you first. I bought some foreign slaves in Haojing and will arrive at Yushan in two months. When these people arrive at Yushan, I hope that this Johnson Tang can stay in Yushan with peace of mind."

"Master, what are you going to do?"

"Yushan Academy cannot be the only one with Chinese studies, but also with some Western studies."

"Western learning?"

"You don't understand yet, you will know in a few years. Go and do your business."

Yun Zhao rarely does specific things now. As for now, the Yun family's staff handled the matter very well.

These people are enough to govern one state and one county.

The biggest thing in Lantian County is still growing grain. Even if Yun Zhao really wants to open a commercial port, he must have bulk goods such as grain to protect the situation. Only in this way can Lantian County become a real commercial port.

There is no stability without farmers, no wealth without business, Yun Zhao understands these eight words too deeply.

Wu Xuan's 100,000 taels of silver can only buy 20,000 dan of grain at the market price. Fortunately, he paid all the official silver, and there was no loss of fire, so this business can still be done.

Wu Yan was also extremely helpless. Before coming to Lantian County, he set out from the capital with silver and walked through dozens of prefectures and counties, and had long wanted to exchange the silver for rice and grain. Unfortunately, there was only Lantian County where one hundred thousand taels of silver could buy 20,000 dan of grain at one time.

Facing this small magistrate, Wu Xuan felt that as a provincial participating in politics, he did not have any sense of superiority in front of him.

The reason why Lantian County can still take out 20,000 dan of grain in March is that it is the large and large reservoirs and ponds spread all over Lantian County.

There is absolutely no extra water to be wasted in Lantian County. Even if there is heavy snow, the people will take the initiative to throw the snow into the pond. When there is heavy rain, the originally flowing rain will be sent into the pond by ditches of all sizes.

Once the water in the pond cannot be sufficient, the reservoir in Lantian County will open the gate and release the water, filling the pond again.

There are water trucks everywhere, and there are wooden troughs that transport water flow everywhere.

Looking at the gurgling clear water flowing in the canal, Wu Xuan almost thought he was in the Jiangnan water town.

"It's that simple. The subordinates did not plunder the people in order to raise the 20,000 harbors of grain you need, and did not force the people to take risks because of these 20,000 harbors of grain.

When we take out the silver, the people will take out the stored grain from their homes, weigh them, and then you will get 20,000 yuan to bear the grain.

The thing is that simple. I don’t understand why the greats who pass through the state and pass by the prefectures can’t get only 20,000 dan of food.”

Wu Yan squatted on the edge of the canal while washing his hands and said lightly: "Where I am passing by, the people have no food in their hands.

The grain is all in the hands of grain merchants or big landlords. People dislike the low price of grain I gave and refuse to buy it."

"Food is not that expensive!" Yun Zhao came over and looked at the water in the canal.

Wu Qing wiped his hands and said, "Human hearts are broken."

Yun Zhao nodded, agreeing deeply.

As long as the water in the reservoir and pond is full, Yun Zhao is not very worried about disasters. Since ancient times, Lantian County has only suffered droughts and never had floods.

As for the locust plague... I am not afraid at all now. The victims were almost extinct in the past two years.

Although "the extreme drought is caused by locusts", the main reason for the severe drought in Shaanxi has been in such severe droughts but not the main reason for the locust plague is that the locusts have lost their foundation for survival.
