"The Emperor... Song Yingxing, the head of the Martial Arts Academy, and Johnson Chan asked for a meeting."

Han Zanzhou walked into the Donghunting Pavilion and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, saying, "They have something that they want to offer to the emperor, and hope to allocate funds to specialize in research."

"Prince."

Emperor Chongzhen said without thinking.

The talents gathered in the Military Preparatory Institute, especially those in charge of Song Yingxing, are treasures. No matter what needs they make, Emperor Chongzhen will satisfy them one by one.

Especially now, the treasury has become extremely fulfilled, and things that can be solved with money are not a problem!

"My memory...Song Yingxing, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"My dear...Chorus Cham, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

The two men who were led into the East Warehouse bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, and in the hands of Tang Ruowang, they also held a long copper tube, which attracted the attention of Emperor Chongzhen.

That's a telescope?

"The two families of you are exempt from gifts."

Emperor Chongzhen reached out to signal and said, "What are the reasons for the two families to come to the palace? If you have any needs, just mention it to me."

Song Yingxing and Tang Ruowang looked at each other, Tang Ruowang walked forward and spoke fluent Chinese, "Your Majesty, I want to offer you, and I will call you Qianlijing.

Previously, the minister and Bishop Deng Yuhan had offered this item to the court to facilitate the observation of the celestial phenomena of the Imperial Heaven Supervision. This time, I entered the palace to ask Your Majesty to allocate another silver to the Military Preparatory Court.”

Wang Chengen and Han Zanzhou frowned slightly, looked at Tang Ruowang, presented a thousand-mile mirror to the emperor, and wanted to fight for the silver in the treasury again.

You should know what days it is, just to the Military Preparation Institute, the treasury has allocated nearly one million silver.

No matter how good this Qianli Mile Mile Mile mirror is, it doesn’t study gunpowder. Firearms and cannons are important.

The appetite of this Western missionary is really not that big.

"Come on, ask me to see."

Emperor Chongzhen said, "I remember this thousand-mile mirror. Standing in the original place, I could see the scenery several miles away. I knew about it before.

But he is busy with the government affairs of the state and ignores this matter."

In fact, the Qianli Mile Mile Mile in Joshua Chan's mouth is a telescope, which was circulated into the Ming Dynasty for a long time, but it did not attract enough attention.

When Song Yingxing, Tang Ruowang and others reminded him, Emperor Chongzhen had an idea in his mind.

"If this thing can be produced in large quantities and placed in the army, especially with scouts, it will have a lot of help to the battlefield situation."

Emperor Chongzhen took the Thousand Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mi

Also, the observation distance of this Qianli Mile Mile Mile is not particularly good, Song Qing and Johnson Tang, the money you want to fight for is to improve these problems, right?"

"Yes, your majesty."

Song Yingxing walked forward and bowed and said, "When the Wubei Academy held a seminar, I found that the State Council did not pay enough attention to Qianlijing.

If the quality of the kilometer mirror can be improved and better kilometer mirrors can be developed, whether they are distributed to the army or engaged in astronomical research, it will be a great thing."

I'm afraid I just want to engage in astronomical research.

Emperor Chongzhen sighed in his heart and looked at Chau Wang. His attitude towards these gathered Western missionaries was very clear.

It is to make good use of missionaries to absorb the essence of the West, abandon the dross it has left, and develop and strengthen the local science and technology system.

The Ming Dynasty's development in some fields has actually been dumped by the West.

If we don't chase it as soon as possible, the gap between the two sides will gradually widen over time, which is not what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to see.

After all, in the tide of the Age of Discovery, the Ming Dynasty should not only focus on its vision, but only limit itself to the Ming Dynasty, but also learn to look at the world.

"Is fifty thousand taels of silver enough?"

Emperor Chongzhen put down the Qianli Mirror, thought for a while, and said, "To study the Qianli Mirror, we must set the corresponding tone at the Martial Arts Institute.

The corresponding kilometer mirror should be created according to different needs.

By the way, Joshua Chan, among the missionaries gathered at the Xishan Military Preparation Institute, are there any talented people who are proficient in glass making?"

"Your Majesty is talking about Liuli?"

Chau Wang hesitated a little and looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Some, according to the information I know, at least seven people are proficient in glass, especially..."

"It's good if there is!"

Emperor Chongzhen reached out to Jokovic and said to Jokovic, "In this way, after you leave the palace and return to the west mountain, you will transfer all the missionaries who are proficient in glass to the same place.

Wang Baobao, you are called the Nei Factory and screen a group of young craftsmen to go to Xishan for training.

They must learn the matter of burning glass as soon as possible. I will build several factories for burning glass and producing glass on the side of the imperial village.”

Glass was made very early, but the Ming Dynasty, which was dominated by small peasant economy, including the previous Yuan Dynasty, did not effectively utilize this product.

Glass products are very scarce and relatively expensive under the Meiji.

But in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, it was a pile of sand produced by special processes.

If the Huangzhuang can master the corresponding production technology, mass-produce glass products, and sell them everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely be a good investment.

"From the future, the Military Preparatory Institute will submit a memorial every month."

Looking at Song Yingxing, Johnson Tang and others, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "In addition to developing firearms and cannons, we also need to discuss other products.

I will allocate it in time no matter how much money I need, so don’t think I’m wasting money. No matter how much money I spend in this area, I won’t feel sorry for me.”

If it weren't for the current Ming Dynasty, it was a traditional agricultural power, and there was not even a basic primitive industrial system. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to call Song Yingxing and others to study the steam engine.

With this magical artifact and the railway being paved with a large scale, what direction will the Ming Dynasty move in?

However, without the scientific and technological foundation of the establishment, or even the original industrial system, Emperor Chongzhen would not think about this.

Unrealistic.

I just want to run away before I even learn to leave. Isn’t that pure whimsical?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Martial Arts Institute will definitely do a good job." When Tang Ruowang heard this, he immediately expressed his opinion: "I will definitely not let Your Majesty down on his high expectations."

It seems that the charm of missionary makes all Western missionaries such as Joshua Tsang want to win trust, so that the Catholic Church can grow stronger in the Ming Dynasty.
