It was the first time that Zhu Youxiao, wearing a yellow robe, saw these elites in the scientific community who were famous in later generations than the six ministers of the same period.

Although he is the lord of the nine fives, he does not dare to be arrogant.

Seeing that these officials were going to give great gifts, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly gave up their gifts on the grounds that they would not have to be restrained by the morning court. When he saw Jokovic Tom, he also asked with a smile: "Are you Jokovic Tom?"

"Yes, the respected Emperor Ming Emperor, His Majesty," Chau Wang bowed and bowed to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao just nodded and asked Xu Guangqi beside him: "Who is Song Yingxing?"

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao asked him personally, Song Yingxing took the initiative to stand up: "I have seen Your Majesty."

"Very good. I have gathered the elites of the Ming Dynasty. You, Song Yingxing, are undoubtedly the most dazzling pearl."

Zhu Youxiao accidentally praised Song Yingxing, which surprised the officials and Song Yingxing themselves.

You should know that except for the Westerner, Tang Ruowang, here, Song Yingxing was born as a juren, and the others were all from Jinshi. Song Yingxing felt that he was shorter than others from the beginning, but he did not expect that the first person to ask about him was himself, and he also said that he was the most dazzling pearl.

Such praise is more enviable than having a wife and a son, and from then on, Song Yingxing is enough to leave a good story in Zhu Youxiao's record.

After a few gossips, Emperor Zhu Youxiao, who briefly asked everyone a few words, walked into the newly built conference hall of the Ministry of Works under the leadership of Xu Guangqi, the left minister of the Ministry of Works and the right minister of the Ministry of Works, Bi Maokang, led by Bi Maokang, the left minister of the Ministry of Works.

The conference hall is a temporary building built by Xu Guangqi according to Zhu Youxiao's design and specially designed for meetings.

The interior of the Guangsha is not a traditional format of a fragrant table in the middle and a Taishi chair on each side, but a rectangular square table is arranged on both sides, with tea-colored silk cloth on it, and small potted plants and tea water are placed on the silk cloth.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao's dragon chaise is still in the middle, with bright yellow silk wrapping a square table, and behind the square table is the temporarily moved dragon chaise.

Behind the dragon chaise is not the phoenix tail and the five-clawed dragon, but a "Mountain and Miles" by Zhao Fu of the Song Dynasty.

On the bright yellow platform facing Zhu Youxiao, there is a mixed iron cast globe.

There were also some reduced versions of guns and cannons in front of others, all of which were given to them by Zhu Youxiao, but most of them were breech guns and smoothbore guns. Although Xu Guangqi and others looked novel, they did not understand the principle here.

Today, while Zhu Youxiao is starting the development of science and technology in the Ming Dynasty, he will give them good science and popularize these future "science fiction products" compared to this era.

"You all know that the Tartar cavalry are brave and good at fighting, and they are not firearms and chariots that cannot be controlled. Now I am anxious to all of you. I will not talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, nor do I tell the friendship between the king and the ministers. Everyone sits together and talks about science only!"

When Zhu Youxiao said the word "science", the officials present were surprised, with doubts on their faces.

Although they had been vaccinated by the books and materials sent by Zhu Youxiao before, they still felt shocked after hearing the word "science". Then they looked at the various models in front of them that could not be found in ancient books and the globe in front of His Majesty with the Age of Discovery. They couldn't help but ask in secret when His Majesty would become a miscellaneous study, not just studying carpenters.

"Xiao Rushi, take the largest piece of my drawing and let them hang it behind me." Zhu Youxiao said, and Liu Rushi hurriedly pulled out a drawing that was two meters long and one meter wide and gave it to the small yellow door beside him.

After the little yellow gate was hung, Xu Guangqi and others saw that His Majesty wrote "History of the Development of Human Civilization", and then there were words such as "iron tools", "productivity", "mechanical", and "steam engine".

Before these officials could ask questions, Zhu Youxiao started talking by himself.

He studied medicine in his previous life and did not know much about the history of this kind of anthropology and science and technology development. However, in order to give these traditional scholars and officials a good lesson, he spent a whole month preparing, so he now has a clear logic and endless talk.

Most of these officials were from Jinshi and had no stupid heads. What's more, they were all relatively open-minded among the scholars and officials, and did not regard what Zhu Youxiao said as a heresy.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao was also the emperor, so they all listened carefully and could roughly understand what Zhu Youxiao said.

It is precisely because of this that the officials present can stuff eggs with their mouths wide open. What Zhu Youxiao said is undoubtedly impacting their thoughts formed over the past decades.

An official stood up excitedly, slapped the table, and pointed at Zhu Youxiao to scold him for talking nonsense.

But suddenly realized that the person who was talking to him was His Majesty. He looked at the Jinyiwei on both sides and was so scared that he sat back again. Seeing that Zhu Youxiao did not let someone pull him down and chop him down, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, some officials did not care about the order of rank and order. Seeing Zhu Youxiao doing experiments in front of them, they simply came over and stood behind Zhu Youxiao to see how Zhu Youxiao let iron replace copper.

If Zhu Youxiao hadn't waved his hand to stop the Jinyiwei's movements, I'd be afraid that the few officials who had leaned over would have been regarded as assassins at this time and then fell directly to the ground with their heads.

Those who are in the upper hand are more likely to promote the development of the times, and the new ideas they are proposing are more likely to impress the people below. Zhu Youxiao is doing this at this time.

He wanted to inject fresh ideological sources into the ancient empire that dominated the Confucian system, perhaps this would rejuvenate his new vitality, rather than waiting for the massacre of the northern Tartars and the bullying of the Western powers hundreds of years later.

It is time to bring a new spring breeze to the Ming Dynasty, so that these natural philosophy that has already sprouted or has not sprouted will be thoroughly enlightened.

The entire Ming Dynasty Science and Technology Imperial Front Meeting held at the Ministry of Works almost became Zhu Youxiao’s one-man show, but whether it was Zhu Youxiao or the scholar-type officials present, this was much more exciting than the morning court meeting.

Even the missionary Joshua Thompson was secretly impressed. He never expected that the emperor of this ancient Eastern Empire would be so knowledgeable.

Officials never thought that a small skill could have such a great impact on humans. From this moment on, they gradually realized that what they did might not be as simple as strange skills.

"Your Majesty, this is the flintlock rifle cast by Mr. Bi according to His Majesty's drawings, and they have been standardized. From this small flint to the front of the steel stick, there are caliber and size requirements. Each craftsman is only responsible for the manufacturing of one component, and then assembles and welding. Even if the Tartars catch a craftsman, they don't know how to build my new firearm from the Ming Dynasty."

When it was Xu Guangqi's turn to speak, he took out a shiny gun wrapped in red cloth.

"Oh, Zhu Youxiao was so surprised that he hurriedly took it over and weighed it: "Is this easy to operate? Have you ever tried it for soldiers? What is the range and how fast the firing rate is?"

Xu Guangqi hurriedly answered one by one and took Zhu Youxiao to the Military Weapons Bureau to experience it on-site.
