The traditional casting method of cannon filling is at the tail of the cannon. After the iron is in the model, the heavy ones sink down and the light ones float up, so the muzzle is better quality than the abdomen with larger pressure. If you change the idea and place the infusion mouth on the muzzle, the quality of the iron cannon will be improved a lot immediately.

Hong Zuwei did not have the ability to cast cannons, but he could apply it to production through the theoretical knowledge in "A Brief Theory of Physics", which is what Zhu Cilang admires the most.

"I have written a lot of things, and some people think that I know everything is really wrong!" Zhu Cilang nodded to Hong Zuwei and said, "Only millions of people in the world gather to make up for the shortcomings can they truly revive the Ming Dynasty and make the people live a better life. I'm starting out, you, Xu Xie, and thousands of people can keep up, that's great."

"Thank you for your encouragement!" Hong Zuwei straightened his chest and said loudly.

"Very good, the young man is also very energetic." Zhu Cilang thought of the "Hujian" and smiled again, asking him to disband.

The meeting is over.

You Shiwei did not leave with these "little" staff members, and walked to Zhu Cixuan to report: "Your Highness."

"General You." Zhu Cixuan walked in front and invited: "How about going out for a walk together?"

Of course You Shiwei would not object.

Zhu Cixuan walked in front, and after thinking about it, he could only move his waist and legs in a small garden. While taking a lunge without any image, he stretched his leg muscles, he said, "I didn't ride a horse today, and my muscles and bones were tightened. I really don't know how to live in the palace if I tried to calm down the Lu Chou Shunzhe and stayed in the palace all day long. Haha, General You looked solemn, but what was the confusion in his heart?"

You Shiwei followed Zhu Cixuan to a small flower hall. Seeing the surrounding green clumps, he was still a little depressed and said, "Your Highness. Now that the enemy is in front of us, our army will discuss the southeast first. Will it make people feel uneasy?"

"Well, this, I remember Yang Sichang said back then: You must first calm the country when fighting foreign countries." Zhu Cixuan stood still, expanded his chest and turned his waist. He said: "My clan was named after the Han Wu, and it was the Han nationality. It has been more than 1,700 years since then. It has been civilized, martial arts, and cruel to other races. But who are you and I?"

"Of course they are Han people." You Shiwei was a little puzzled.

"Yes, so..." Zhu Cilang induced repeatedly: "It means that my Han Dynasty can still stand up even if there is a turmoil in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty! In this way, who is the biggest enemy of our Han people? It is not a foreign race, but the Han people themselves."

"Didn't your highness say that internal friction is just a vain for outsiders to take advantage?" You Shiwei didn't think the prince's explanation was reasonable.

"Yes, internal friction is indeed the case." Zhu Cilang nodded and said, "But attacking Xuzhou first is not considered internal friction, but integrating resources."

“Unified?”

"The important things in Xuzhou have been clearly stated just now. Let's compare it to a piece of gold, which is in Gao Jie's hands. It can only be used as a pillow. In our hands, it can be used to buy food to save people and build cannons to kill enemies. For this reason, I spent a tael of silver to exchange for this piece of gold. It seems to have consumed power within, but in fact the resources I get far more than my spending, thus generating greater benefits. This is the integrated resource. Yang Sichang said this. It is wise to only maintain the internal stability of the foreign policy of integrating resources. If it were not, it would be foolish! If Gao Jie occupied a useless land, would I take him? He asked me to go and I would not be willing to spend that money."

You Shiwei's brow gradually unbuttoned and said, "What Your Highness said is indeed insightful."

"There is nothing incisive. You can find a businessman to know this." Zhu Cilang said: "Besides, if Gao Jie still had a little loyalty and righteousness, his army would have to tie up and apologize and accept the adaptation. At that time, I might even give him a way to support his old age in order to appease other military towns."

You Shiwei nodded and agreed. If Gao Jie did not know the current affairs and had a rebellious heart, he should have been on the spot to rectify the Dharma.

"Have you heard of conflicting opinions?" Zhu Cixuan asked again.

"Use your spear to attack your shield?"

"That's right," Zhu Cilang nodded, "One yin and one yang are called Tao. All things in the world are nothing more than yin and yang. This is the fundamental contradiction. Before the Donglu entered the pass, I was the contradiction between my imperial family and the thieves. When the Donglu came, the situation naturally changed, and it became a contradiction between us, Han people and Manchus. I just said that integrating resources can attack the Ming army. Now this is for national justice and must have a mind that can accommodate thieves. General You, you should start from the overall situation of the world, just now."

You Shiwei's arrogance was completely dispersed by Zhu Cilang, and he sincerely admired him: "To be honest, I didn't believe these two sentences at first. I'll give your highness this explanation, and think about it, this is the truth!"

Zhu Cilang laughed and recommended Aristotle's "Logics".

The mother of this set of books should have been the "Instrumental Theory" of later generations. As a liberal arts student, Zhu Cixuan knew very well the driving force of formal logic on social science. He originally planned to find someone to translate it after he became an adult, but he didn't expect that when he was five years old, he actually saw this set of books in Danei's library, named "Huanyouquan" six volumes and "Mingli Dean" ten volumes, which were translated by Li Zhizao and Portuguese priest Fu Xunji.

As a Jinshi in the 26th year of Wanli, Li Zhizao's writings were more in line with the taste of scholars and officials. Zhu Cilang just changed the name of this set of books and named it "Logics", and immediately ordered people to carve the plates for the preparation. During the Jiashen Incident, he also brought them to Laizhou together and published them as a key bibliography.

You Shiwei didn't expect Zhu Cilang to recommend a book by the Thais. He thought that he hadn't even figured out the things of his ancestors, but he couldn't say hesitate to it. He just stammered, for fear that the prince would ask him to submit some reading notes after reading it.

This is not an unfair worry. Writing notes in the army and diaries has become a system, which makes many veteran generals very uncomfortable. Niu Chenghu also wanted to hire two documents, but was classified as "hiring private people" and received a warning.

"Master Qiansui!"

When Wang Chengen saw Zhu Cixuan and You Shiwei standing together, he shouted from afar: "Your Highness, the emperor, please go and talk."

Zhu Cilang nodded and said to You Shiwei: "General, let's go back first."

You Shiwei saluted and was about to leave, but Wang Chengen called him. Wang Chengen smiled and said, "Governor, don't leave quickly, the emperor will summon him."

You Shiwei paused at his feet and said "Zu Zhizhi".

There was no palace here. Zhu Cilang and You Shiwei went to the pondside hall where Chongzhen was located in a few steps. Seeing his mother, aunt and Concubine Yuan were present, there were various fruits and pastries piled on the stone table. It was obviously a family gathering, and I don’t know why You Shiwei summoned him.

"My son, Cilang, pays homage to the emperor's father, aunt, and mother." Zhu Cilang stepped forward to greet him without losing any etiquette.

Chongzhen smiled and was about to get up when he suddenly saw the golden python dragon epaulette on You Shiwei's shoulders. The light on his face dissipated, but he just said "Happy".

Zhu Cixuan stood up, Zhou Hou was already excited and shouting to give him a seat, and complained: "I don't know what you are busy with these days. I'm too lazy to do it in the morning and evening?"

"My mother wrongly accused her son minister." Zhu Cilang said helplessly: "My son has just returned from the Dengzhou inspection navy. In the past few days, in order to occupy the Shenjing of the Donglu, he went to the Lexia defense line overnight to inspect the military equipment. He really has no time."

Chongzhen said coldly: "Today, the ministers of the Southern Capital sent a letter saying that they wanted to reward the Eastern Captains' army, asked the Xibo of Jin to be the marquis, and also rewarded the Liaodong Governor Li Yutian, do you know?"

——This tone is clearly saying that His Royal Highness is busy working hard!

For the first time, You Shiwei felt that the emperor was really stupid.

"I heard about it," Zhu Cilang smiled, "It is the so-called "borrowing the enemy to pacify the enemy" by the ministers in the southeast. But the emperor, the Eastern Captains are a group of tigers and wolves. Will they really retreat outside the pass?"

"They were all out of the wilderness, and they retreated by themselves after they had enough?" Chongzhen was not confident when he said this.

"Father," Zhu Cilang said respectfully with a deep smile, "The ministers in the southeast are really obscured. Now Wu Sangui is the King of Pingxi of the Qing Dynasty. Li Yutian, whom they want to commend, haha, he has long been Li Zicheng's governor of Sichuan, and I'm afraid there is something wrong with rewarding the ministers who follow the thief."

Looking at Emperor Chongzhen with a shocked look, Zhu Cilang said leisurely: "And according to my son's opinion, the Eastern Barbarians will not only not leave, but they may also have the intention to annex the universe."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their colors.
