Chongzhen, the First Scientist of the Ming Dynasty

In the third year of Chongzhen, there were internal and external troubles, and the national treasury was empty. Faced with the pressing pressure of the officials to "increase Liao's salary". Chongzhen made a crazy decision It doesn't care about the people's reputation, it doesn't touch the country's foundation, it only opens a door called "science". He summoned Xu Guangqi and founded the Gezhiyuan of the Ming Dynasty. He sent Lu Xiangsheng to raid the homes of Shanxi merchants. He changed the status of craftsmen and established grades, allowing craftsmen to rise from humble status to become the technical backbone of the Ming Dynasty. The court officials laughed at his strange skills, and the nobles scolded him for disturbing the ancestral system. But the first batch of flintlock rifles from Gezhiyuan were deployed to the frontier troops. When the word "science" became the new knowledge pursued by scholars all over the world. Everyone finally understood. This Chongzhen wanted to use knowledge to change his fate against the will of heaven.
