Zhu Ciyang, who was happy, first discovered that his father's face was abnormal. He suddenly felt a slump in his heart, thinking, "Why should my father go back on his word?"

When he was thinking this, he heard the embarrassment on Emperor Chongzhen's face, sat upright and said to Zhang Mingwei with a little apology: "Sir, look at my memory, I haven't asked you about your name Gao until now, so I'm so rude!"

Actually, he is not a mistake.

Just when he was defeated by Songshan and the court lost all its main force and felt that the Ming Dynasty was about to destroy its country and was desperate, Zhang Mingwei appeared in front of him strangely out of thin air. So he immediately regarded it as a life-saving straw and wishfully thought that this was a god who came to help him.

Although he later discovered through communication that this magical person was not a god, he was from later generations, which also surprised Emperor Chongzhen. Then he asked about the development of history, one by one, one by one, what he saw, what he heard, etc., which kept shocking him. Small things like asking for names would certainly not be the priority.

It was at this point that he had been talking enough. When he thought of an idea, he remembered that he didn't even know Zhang Mingwei's name.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's words made Zhu Cilang on the side stunned, and even the sound of the side hall was heard. Obviously, Princess Kunxing didn't expect it.

It's true that after chatting for so long, I promised all my own daughter, but I still don't know what the other party is called...

Zhang Mingwei heard this, but he didn't care. It was not too late to say it again: "My surname is Zhang, my name is Zhang, and my name is Ming and the great Wei."

This name made Emperor Chongzhen's eyes shine. He couldn't help but think in his heart, although Mr. Shu was from later generations, he was also sent by God to help him. Even his name means "Greatness of the Ming Dynasty".

After waiting for a while, before listening to Zhang Mingwei's further comment, Emperor Chongzhen asked again: "What is the name of sir?"

"We are no longer interested in picking words at that time, so I don't!"

Emperor Chongzhen heard it a little strangely: "Then, wouldn't there be many names for the same name?"

Regarding the things in later generations, the hall is full of curious babies, all of whom are pricking their ears and listening to Zhang Mingwei's answer.

"There are indeed many people who have duplicate names!" Zhang Mingwei said with a smile after hearing this, "If I remember correctly, the most duplicate names are nearly 300,000 people."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little unimaginable. There were 300,000 people with the same name? This was simply incredible!

Confused in his heart, he asked again: "How many people were there in sir?"

"It's probably more than 1.4 billion!" Zhang Mingwei replied, and when he saw Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to understand immediately, he explained, "It's just 100 million to 100 million, and there are 14 100 million in total."

With a "gudong", another noise came from the side hall.

Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Cilang both opened their mouths wide and looked stunned.

This number makes it really unimaginable for people of this era!

Seeing them like this, Zhang Mingwei felt teasing in his heart, and then added with a smile: "There are only about 20 million permanent residents in the capital. If other migrant populations are included, there are at least 30 million people in the capital."

After he finished speaking, the stunned person continued to remain stunned.

In this era, cities with a population of one million, including the East and the West, were very large cities and the most prosperous. The Ming Dynasty had cities with a population of one million, and there were only a few cities with a population of one million.

Zhang Mingwei's words made anyone in this era hear it, and it would not be much better than the brother and sister of Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Ciyang. It can even be said that they couldn't even think about it. How prosperous would such a large population be? Will the city they live in be so large that it is endless?

As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen was naturally more sensitive to the population and was naturally more shocked. Therefore, Zhu Cixuan came back to his senses first and asked in surprise: "Sir, is there enough food for so many people?"

There are only a few people in the Ming Dynasty now, and they are already short of food and hungry and rebelling everywhere. So many people have to eat how much food they have to eat in a day!

"Of course it's enough to eat!" Zhang Mingwei said with a smile, "The varieties of crops will be improved, scientifically planted, etc. In short, with the development of science and technology, no matter how many people can support them!"

While shocking these ancients, he also promoted the power of technology, which was what he was most willing to do.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen came to his senses and immediately said to Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, you must preach well in the Ming Dynasty and help me solve my doubts, and spread this scientific and technological knowledge widely. I will definitely support you!"

For the ancients, from a family to an empire, they were all aware that there were many people and great powers. If the Ming Dynasty could have so many people one day, the world would be the only one in the Ming Dynasty! Of course, the premise was to be able to support it.

After seeing Zhang Mingwei nodding, Emperor Chongzhen still remembered what he thought before and dared not talk nonsense anymore, otherwise he would really forget what he wanted to do.

It’s not his fault. It’s really the kind of news that Zhang Mingwei said is the kind that shocked them very much. It’s too easy to be wrong.

Emperor Chongzhen then asked Zhang Mingwei: "Mr. He is so knowledgeable, I don't know what his origin is. In addition to his knowledge of science and technology, what else does it involve, such as military books?"

When Zhang Mingwei heard this question, he was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what he meant.

Zhu Cixuan answered for him: "Mr. He is so knowledgeable, at least he is from a Jinshi, and maybe he is still the top scholar!"

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he understood what Emperor Chongzhen was asking, and then smiled and replied: "There were also exams similar to the imperial examinations in later generations. I was 211. According to the proportion of candidates, I should be a third-class Jinshi. As for military books, I have read some, high school... and I also participated in military training when I was a student."

After hearing this, Zhu Cixuan felt a little regretful that Zhang Mingwei, who is so knowledgeable, is not the top scorer. But Emperor Chongzhen's focus was obviously not here. He asked in confusion: "What is military training?"

"It's training for recruits!" Zhang Mingwei explained casually, feeling that Emperor Chongzhen would not understand, so he explained himself: "In my era, anyone had to serve in the military. However, students in school were similar to those who were studying in the Imperial College. They could master the basic skills of joining the army through military training, and instead of serving in the military. If the country had wars and needed to mobilize, they would not be able to do so at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a stunned scene. It was obvious that everyone had to serve in the military, and even the students of the Imperial College had to participate in military training, which shocked them again.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen came to his senses and couldn't help but be very envious. If the Ming Dynasty did this, he would be afraid that there would be no army to be available! However, it is too difficult to have scholars participate in military training and everyone serves in the military at the moment!

After thinking for a while, he shook his head vigorously and tried not to think too much. It was all because of the surprise that everything was said by the gentleman, and he almost forgot the serious matter again.
