Chapter 781: Nothing in the World (The Finale)

Zhang Jingyi has been in the capital for more than ten days and has actually begun to miss Liaodong a little.

It’s not that I’m not comfortable with the capital, but that I gradually feel that Liaodong is my real home.

However, Emperor Tianqi refused to let him go easily. He summoned him to ask questions almost every day, and the king and his ministers were still in harmony, and occasionally he would chat about the general trend.

But I have talked a lot about the general trend of the world, and it is probably similar to chewing wax.

Therefore, Zhang Jingyi finally decided to say goodbye.

Therefore, on this day, he entered the palace early, went to see the Queen Mother first, asked for his care, and rushed from the Forbidden City to the Qinzheng Hall of Xiyuan.

When Emperor Tianqi saw Zhang Jingyi, he showed joy and then said, "Last time you talked about the new tribute relationship, I ordered the Ministry of Rites to draft detailed rules and negotiate with the countries. Japan, North Korea and Annan were the first to agree and were willing to set an example. Some people set an example, and the other countries' revision of the contract was natural. I did not expect that the progress was so smooth, and there were few complaints from the countries."

Zhang Jingyi looked at the smiling Emperor Tianqi and said with a smile: "So congratulations to Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianqi said, "I think about it carefully. It's still the credit from Liaodong. As you said, if Liaodong hadn't played a bad face, how could the countries be uneasy? Now I hope the court can come up with a strategy to protect them. Although the terms are a little harsh, I can at least feel at ease. Oh, yes, what are you holding in your hand?"

"It's a book."

"Book?" Emperor Tianqi raised his eyebrows and looked puzzled.

Zhang Jingyi said honestly: "Your Majesty, I have ordered someone to sort out your Majesty's manuscripts, and then ordered the book series to be printed into a book and sold in the markets in various places."

Emperor Aoki suddenly remembered this incident. He was indeed convinced at the beginning, although he was still unsure.

He couldn't help but say, "It won't make life laugh."

Zhang Jingyi shook his head: "The sales volume of books is excellent. One of them involves engineering, and it is even more crowded. The paper in Luoyang was expensive. Nowadays, there are many people engaged in engineering in the Ming Dynasty, and many people are interested in engineering. The books written by Your Majesty are of great quality and have many unique insights. Even many doctors in engineering are highly praised, so they are extremely popular, so they are very popular. It can be said that a book is hard to find. Now all booksellers are printing desperately."

Emperor Tianqi believed this a little bit when he heard this. If other knowledge caused a huge crowd, he would still feel a little unconfident. But if he talked about engineering... this is his own business, no, my business is the emperor.

Then Zhang Jingyi said again: "This book has broken the sales record of miscellaneous books, so I came to congratulate you."

Emperor Tianqi became humble at this time and waved his hand and said, "This... well... although this is beyond my expectations, my knowledge of the side and the left-minded is nothing. I am the emperor and do not value these things."

Even though I said this, I was still proud of myself.

Zhang Jingyi said with a stern face: "Your Majesty, this is a bad word. Why is this engineering a no-brainer? In the eyes of the ministers and many talents in the world, this is the real great knowledge. With this knowledge, transportation can be convenient and the people can have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. People say that food, clothing, housing and transportation are all about this. It is related to the welfare of the people of the world. If these are all no-brainer, then there is no better knowledge in the world than it."

In fact, when Zhang Jingyi discovered the value of Emperor Ancestral in these "academic" purposes, his first reaction was to immediately make someone compile it. Only in this way can Emperor Ancestral get on the car of this science and weld the door to the car!

After all, Emperor Tianqi is the great master of this knowledge, and I am always embarrassed to return to the water. In the future, someone wants to re-produce the Confucian scriptures.

Emperor Tianqi was actually just modest. Now that Zhang Jing said this, he just talked about it in his heart.

So Emperor Tianqi laughed and said, "No, no, I do have aphrodisiacs."

As he said that, Zhang Jing mentioned that he hoped to return to the vassal state.

Emperor Tianqi gradually restrained the smile on his face and said in surprise: "Is it going back to Liaodong in just a few days?"

When Zhang Jing thought of parting, he was somewhat reluctant to part with him, but after all, he was going back, so he said, "Your Majesty, there is a banquet that will be gone all the way. When I was in Liaodong, I miss Your Majesty, but I am in the capital, but I also miss Liaodong."

Emperor Tianqi sighed and said with a little disappointment: "But I still have a lot of things to ask for."

Zhang Jing said, "Actually, I have nothing to ask for advice. At this point in the world, it is like a surging river, and it will roll forward. Whether it is Your Majesty or your personal power, it is actually impossible to control it. Therefore... Your Majesty is better to let everything go without it."

Emperor Aoki raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean... I don't know anything?"

"It's not that you ignore it, but that there will naturally be an invisible force that will make Your Majesty make your own choices. The general trend I am talking about is that the mode of production has changed. After the change, there are hundreds of millions of people relying on this new mode of production for a living. This is their parents of food and clothing, and the fundamental interests of thousands of people." Gu Ju

"Because of this, Your Majesty will...even in Liaodong, no matter what decision you make, it will still meet the wishes of these thousands of people. Any decision, whether you are willing or not, actually has to maintain the wishes of these thousands of people. Just as all the products in the world were obtained from farming, all your Majesty's will essentially need to maintain the gentry who holds the land, and it must meet their wishes. Since the general situation has been achieved, I think it is better to let it go."

After hearing this, Emperor Aoki said that this seemed to be a little different from the new policy he imagined.

He thought he should have made more drastic moves in the future, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have begun to understand something... the wishes of thousands of people... aren't they constantly controlling themselves?

The wishes of these thousands of people want to build more railways, so they gathered into memorials and sent them to themselves. Can you not allow them?

The wishes of thousands of people need to be reduced because of their desire for the market. These wishes gather into memorials. Can they reject them?

In just a moment, Emperor Tianqi felt that he had a new understanding, but he smiled and said, "You said this to me, but I feel cold."

Zhang Jing looked at Emperor Tianqi with a bright look and said, "Sometimes it may not be bad if you can relax for a while. Your Majesty is in Beijing, so you might as well take care of your dragon body."

Emperor Tianqi knew that Zhang Jingyi had made up his mind to return to Liaodong, so he said, "When will he become a vassal?"

"I plan to go three days later?"

"Three days later..." Emperor Tianqi said quietly: "I will give you a ride."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but blink. As he heard this, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Fortunately, Zhang Jingyi was from Emperor Tianqi, so he didn't like to talk about a pun.

Zhang Jing nodded, and then saluted Emperor Tianqi seriously.

Three days later, although it was an auspicious day, it did not seem to bring good luck to Zhang Jingyi. After one night, the weather suddenly became cold, and at dawn, it started to snow heavily.

Countless snow flutters were flying, like a knife, shaving people's ears and noses hurt.

As soon as Zhang Jing arrived at the station, but unexpectedly, Emperor Tianqi was wearing a warm cloak and waiting for a team of guards.

The king and his subjects looked at each other.

Emperor Tianqi stepped forward and smiled without waiting for Zhang Jing to bow, "I have thought about it for the past three days. What Zhang Qing said is not without reason. I don't know when Zhang Qing will meet again when he goes."

Zhang Jingyi looked at Emperor Tianqi carefully and said, "Take care of your Majesty."

Emperor Apocalypse smiled and said, "Take care too."

It seemed that at this time, Zhang Jingyi was speechless, and the king and his minister should not say anything for the time being.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Jingyi bowed again, glanced deeply at Emperor Tianqi, and then got on the bus.

The sound of the steam train was earth-shaking, mixed with the sound of steam.

When Zhang Jingyi looked at the people on the platform from the glass window, he found that Emperor Tianqi had turned his face away.

This made Zhang Jing think of some time more than ten years ago when he came to this world, and at that time he was full of fear and fear of this ancient era. Now... it seems... history is here, like this steam train, walking on a new fork.

But Zhang Jingyi didn't care about what direction the steam train ended up in and what the end of the rails was.

Because he himself has no answer, he just knows... time will not stop.

The 21st day of the first lunar month of the 23rd year of the Apocalypse.
