Monarchs and ministers broke up unhappy!
Soon, Liu Zhao gained the reputation of a prodigal son.
People are talking about it, the emperor wastes money and doesn't treat money as money, so it's not an exaggeration to call him a fool.
It can be said that Liu Zhao was the most controversial emperor in the two hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He has the courage to forge ahead, expand territory, improve people's livelihood, reduce taxes, reduce corvee, prosper business, set up free schools, and strengthen the army...
Wait for a series of measures to be called Mingjun, which is definitely qualified.
At the same time, he built a big prison, ruined the court, destroyed the ancestral system, changed the tradition, and deprived the gentry of the system of exempting the gentry from taxes and corvee, and now he is still learning how to prodigal...
It is not an exaggeration to call him a faint king.
Small people lack knowledge and are easily instigated by scholars.
There have been rumors among the common people that His Majesty is a prodigal son.
The people in the capital city are the calmest people in the whole world.
Over the years, being brainwashed by newspapers has given me a slightly sober mind.
I have learned a truth that you can't listen to one side of everything.
as expected.
Not long after, "Da Zhou Life Show" and "Shanhe Academy News" published the "anonymous" article at the same time.
The article analyzes the necessity of road construction from the aspects of history, economy, military, people's livelihood, regional structure, future influence, etc.
Is road repair necessary
necessary!
Throughout the past dynasties, they were always forced to defend against the invasion of alien races in the north, and only rarely chose to attack.
Because throughout the dynasties, in the north, in places other than the northwest border, there was no preparation. Not to mention effective defense measures. This
Once the war started, the alien soldiers went south, drove straight in, and went straight into the Central Plains, and the smoke was everywhere.
The loss, the number of people killed and injured, is several times tens of times or hundreds of times the cost of road construction
Just because there is no war in the northwest, we cannot ignore history and ignore the aggressiveness of alien races.
Anyone with brains and foresight should understand that they should make arrangements in advance when there is no war.
Road construction is part of the bigger picture.
What are you talking about without asking the Ministry of Households to pay a penny!
"Anonymous" did not forget to scold all the courtiers at the end of the article, all of them are short-sighted.
You can only see the one-acre three-point land in front of you.
Although such a person is not a corrupt official, he is definitely a stupid official who has been a disaster for a hundred years.
The last few dynasties were destroyed in the hands of these short-sighted officials.
All officials treat the head with a headache and the foot with a foot.
As everyone knows, the body has already died of illness.
He doesn't want to use strong medicine to get rid of the root cause of the disease, but just thinks about muddling along and passing the tenure.
Isn't this a stupid officer
Generation after generation of stupid officials dragged down the dynasty, and they still have the face to criticize those who turned the tide.
I don't know who gave them the face.
Could it be that he was born with a big face
Once the article was published, it caused a sensation in the city.
Businessmen from other places rushed to buy newspapers and periodicals and sent them to their hometowns.
"Anonymous"'s article was really sharp and vicious, and what's more, he scolded all courtiers and officials all over the world.
Is this going to be an enemy of the world's official circles
"I don't know the origin of this 'Anonymous'. Calling the officials of the world as stupid officials, and not afraid of offending the officials of the world, could it be the empress of the palace?"
"This style of writing is not like it!"
"Could it be that you've seen the empress's article?"
"Occasionally, I was lucky enough to see it. The empress's article is majestic, but it cannot be called sharp and vicious. This article is written by an old hand at first glance. It may be a newspaper staff member we are familiar with, but it has changed a pseudonym. "
"The pen name is Anonymous, obviously to hide my identity."
"This 'Anonymous' has published articles before, and it seems that he has a deep understanding of the Northwest and history. The article is as sharp as ever. Only this time, in addition to the sharpness, there are vicious and cursing heartily."
Compared with the content of the article, compared with the group of officials who were scolded, everyone seems to be more curious about the identity of "Anonymous".
Only those who are curious about what kind of person have the courage to scold officials all over the world in an article.
Really awesome!
Someone asked Huang Qubing to inquire about it.
Huang Qubing was naturally pretending to be stupid.
Does he dare to tell the truth
Of course not!
His Royal Highness King Qi, the next emperor is a certainty. How dare he expose the pen name of the next emperor.
…
When the newspaper was delivered to the palace, Liu Zhao patted the table and laughed.
"Good scolding! These officials just don't deserve scolding."
Liu Zhao excitedly ran to Chang'an Palace and shared his feelings with Gu Jiu.
On Gu Jiu's desk, there was a pile of drawings.
The drawings are drawn with lines that most people can't understand.
Liu Zhao was instantly attracted.
He leaned over and asked curiously, "What is this?"
Gu Jiu said softly, "This is the design draft of the chime clock."
"What chime?"
An unfamiliar word poured into Liu Zhao's ears.
Gu Jiu said: "It's a clock that can tell the time and tell the time. It's very bulky."
"A clock that can tell the time? Is there such a thing? Is this a blueprint for a clock? Have you made it?"
"It hasn't been made yet. If the technical difficulties are not overcome for a day, it will not be made. The one in my hand is a sketch sent by Ren Qiu. The institute of science and technology has already had a preliminary idea for the design of the clock. Try to make one."
Liu Zhao sighed, "I really want to see what the clock you mentioned that can tell the time looks like. This blueprint looks very complicated! Can the queen understand it?"
Gu Jiu shook her head, "I don't fully understand! I'm trying to understand what's on the drawing."
"Why did Ren Qiu send you the blueprint?"
Gu Jiu said softly: "I gave him a small suggestion, you can try to divide the twelve o'clock in a day into twenty-four hours. The clock can be designed as a circle, divided into twelve scales. One turn, it is six One hour, twelve hours. Two revolutions is one day. This also involves the problem of circular degrees, which is very troublesome!"
Gu Jiu didn't know much, so she couldn't discuss this topic in depth.
She added: "In order to make clocks and watches, Ren Qiu recruited a group of the most powerful mathematicians in the world to form a team. The third child was here just now, and he said that he wanted to quit his job as an audit department and go to a polytechnic institute." , to join this team. He also said that with his level of arithmetic, he will definitely be able to help. The purpose of Ren Qiu's sending this blueprint is also to hope that I can agree with the third child to go to the Institute of Technology to help and formally join their team."
"Ren Qiu has a good plan!" Liu Zhao complained, "I don't know how he persuaded the third child, but the third child actually wants to join their team and make clocks and watches together."
Gu Jiu said: "Because this team is doing an innovative job, which is very attractive to people like the third child who likes to study arithmetic. And the work of the audit department is mostly step-by-step, which is obviously satisfied. I can't miss the third brother's ambition in spells."
"You promised the third child?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "I told him that after finishing last quarter's accounts, he can go to the Institute of Technology."
Liu Zhao was very curious, "There are so few people in this institute of science and technology, but it burns money every day. What are you busy with?"
There are not many students in the institute of science and technology, only a thousand students.
But it has gathered the most powerful Mohists, miscellaneous schools, various masters, and awesome figures from various disciplines in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
The annual expenditure is three or four times that of Zhixing Academy next door.
It's simply a gold swallowing beast.
Liu Zhao has always been curious, where did all the money go
I'm also very curious that Gu Jiu has been conniving at such a large expense.
Give as much money as you want!
The same is true for medical schools, which are also big money burners.
However, Liu Zhao at least understands the significance and benefits of running a medical school.
He was really dumbfounded that the Institute of Technology burned so much money.
The sketch of the clock placed on the table today revealed a corner of the mysterious veil of the Institute of Technology for Liu Zhao.
Gu Jiu smiled, "Do you know who Huanyu Steel relies on to update its weapons? It relies on the technical support provided by the Institute of Technology. Without the technology of the Institute of Technology, the project of updating weapons of Huanyu Iron and Steel cannot be operated at all."
Liu Zhao blinked, "Is the Institute of Science and Technology researching weapon updates?"
"It is not only to study the update of traditional weapons, but more importantly, to develop a brand new weapon, a weapon that can subvert the pattern of warfare."
Gu Jiu played it off and didn't go into details.
Liu Zhao was very interested in science and engineering.
"As far as I know, people from the Polytechnic Institute seldom go out of the school, and they don't interact with students from other academies. People outside say that the teachers and students of the Polytechnic Institute are a bunch of madmen, lunatics."
"I don't agree with saying they are crazy. I agree with saying they are crazy. They are just keen on research and not so willing to socialize. The environment of the Institute of Technology, unlimited research and development funds, free food, clothing, housing and transportation fully meet their needs. demand. Of course they don’t need to go out of school.”
"Sure enough, they are a group of weird people. Could it be that the third child will become like this when he runs to the Institute of Technology?"
Liu Zhao suddenly became worried.
Gu Jiu smiled, "I told the third child that he should rest at least two days a month and return to the palace to eat two meals with us."
Liu Zhao nodded, "That's about the same."
The child is worthless, which is worrying.
Children are too thoughtful, which is also worrying.
Liu Zhao took out the newspaper, "The boss's cursing articles are even more powerful. He scolded all the officials in the world."
Gu Jiu finished the article quickly, and said with a smile, "It's well written! It has your demeanor back then."
Liu Zhao laughed out loud when he heard the words, triumphantly!
"Like a father, like a son. Boss has the power of my six successes back then, and deserves praise."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled.
She just flattered her casually, but he took it seriously!
