Chapter 208: Singing Double Acting Science and Technology Academy
"Big partner, are you saying that someone pointed the gun at Master Xu for the sake of the cabinet, involved Master Shi, and then involved me. In this way, once this matter broke out, the cabinet would be vacant for two seats?" Yang Jie also understood why he was shot while lying down. Everything was for power!
"Report to Your Majesty, yes..." Wang Chengen lowered his head and answered that one thing was yes, which was affirmative. So? Yang Jing was speechless. The sinister heart of this person was far beyond his imagination! He spent a lot of energy and did not hesitate to borrow the Imperial College to make money to ensure that the court had money to provide disaster relief. He tried his best to do something for the Ming Dynasty. However, in the hearts of some people, they were afraid that the disaster relief was not as important as their official position! Even the matter of raising the prison, which could gather a lot of money for the court, became a tool for their struggle.
"Da Fan guessed who has such a courage?"
"Report to Your Majesty, I am really not sure and have no basis for this. But from the current situation, this person is very scheming and has left no clues in what he does. Therefore, it is probably difficult to find him in this matter. It is impossible to guess who caused the blame. However, if you think about it from the possible candidates for changing cabinets this time, you may gain something." Wang Chengen hated the person who was doing the bad emperor.
"The possible candidate for changing the cabinet this time?" Yang Jing did not have any candidate for changing the cabinet this time, and he didn't know who to change it. He was not at all in his heart. He just felt that the current cabinet was not strong enough, so he decided to find a group of people to replace these people. He knew that his unintentional action would have such a great impact on some people. He secretly attacked and conspired.
Yang Jing thought for a long time, but he didn't expect that who might enter his cabinet and destroy the Imperial College.
"Forget it, I'm afraid I can't find out anything about this matter. Anyway, the loan matter has been solved now. It's fine if I don't check it. I guess this person will not show up again. Oh... Jinyiwei and the people from the East Factory, forget it... let him go over this matter..." Yang Jing thought for a long time and felt that he would just let him go over this matter. After he was disturbed by this, he was afraid that he would not come out again. It would be impossible to catch him.
"I obey the order..." Although Wang Chengen agreed, he was extremely dissatisfied and was about to investigate this matter to the end. This matter can be seen as someone "shooting" at the emperor. If this matter is not found out, there will probably be more people who dare to bare their teeth at the emperor in the future.
"It's getting late, go back to the palace." Yang Jie was so tired today. Now that he relaxed, he immediately felt tiredness sweeping over.
"I obey the order, I will return to the palace now." Wang Chengen agreed. It was indeed getting late and it was time to return to the palace.
The group of people and carriages jingled towards the Forbidden City.
Yang Jie sat in the carriage. Although he was very tired, he couldn't sleep. The shock absorption measures of the carriage were really not good. After tossing and turning a few times, he finally turned his thoughts back to what he is today.
There are so many things happening today. After looking at the city walls, I have a clear idea of the battle with wild boar skins, I have a good understanding of the future military use, and I have seen the situation of the Imperial College, which is considered very popular. I have also dealt with the Imperial College issues in time and did not cause any major disaster. Everything is pretty good.
Yang Jie lifted the curtains and said to Wang Chengen: "Big partner, send someone to Liulizhai to send a message to Li Niang, asking her to start collecting wool immediately, the more you collect, the better! I have great use. If you don't wait for the craftsmen in the south, collect it first, wool, cotton, etc.." Yang Jie summarized today's gains and losses. This military uniform and training uniform are directly related to the soldiers' training time and training time, which is related to the soldiers' combat effectiveness and the soldiers' combat effectiveness, which is directly related to the success or failure of the war. If he does not change the problem of the soldiers' training uniforms, no soldiers will be trained seriously. Because he will have no clothes to wear, so he has to find a way to make a set of clothes for the soldiers. In this way, what strengthening training can be discussed, otherwise everything is impossible.
"As for your order, Your Majesty, I will do it now." Wang Chengen was outside the carriage. When he heard the emperor's order, he immediately found someone to pass the message.
The carriage was still jingling, walking forward with jingling.
The ninth day of the fifth month.
It's the day of morning court again.
Yang Jie got up early in the morning and came to court early.
In the Taihe Gate Hall, the ministers had been waiting for a long time.
When the emperor arrives, everything begins as usual.
First, the ministers sang, and then the formal discussion.
Yang Jie was pretending to be a lot of things in his heart today. He glanced at the ministers below, as if he wanted to find out who was the "pig friend" in his team from this group, and find out the guy who was shooting arrows in secret and harming others. But after scanning the circle, the ministers all looked at him, looking as if he was a gentleman and open-minded. Yang Jie really couldn't see who was the evil spirit! He wanted to enter the cabinet and wanted to be promoted, and he used any means.
He turned his eyes to Sun Chengzong again, but Sun Chengzong still looked silent. In the court, Sun Chengzong basically didn't speak.
He turned his eyes to Xu Guangqi again. After a period of recuperation, Xu Guangqi finally recovered well and was able to go to court. Today is the first time that Xu Guangqi went to court after he was seriously ill.
He turned his eyes to Liu Jishan, his "saint seizure", still looked calm and calm, as if everything was clear.
He also looked at Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue. This guy was a big blow to the Imperial College for the Imperial College! He pretended not to see Li Ruolian's usury loan shark in the Imperial College.
"Today, let's discuss a big thing first!" Yang Jie said in a complete voice and spoke first.
When the ministers saw the emperor speak, they all looked around, looking for their own eyes and signals.
Yang Jing paused and said again: "The calendar is related to the orthodox of our Ming Dynasty, the agricultural production of the people in the world, and the accuracy of the seasons. Now, the calendar used is full of loopholes and often makes mistakes. Moreover, the forecasting time is also very inaccurate, which harms the country and the country. We must pay attention to it. I plan to re-revise the calendar. I want to hear the opinions of all your families..."
Revising the calendar and forming the calendar bureau, this was agreed with Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong when Yang Jing deceived Zhang Xianyong. The revision of this calendar is an important matter. More importantly, the Academy of Sciences can be temporarily attached to the name of the Academy of Sciences. Because this calendar involves a lot of mathematical calculations, it is legitimate to be affiliated to the Academy of Sciences, which currently uses mathematics as an applied research, and when results are produced in the future, the brand of the Academy of Sciences can be officially hung up.
The emperor wanted to do things himself, but he must not say directly that he would do whatever he wanted. He had to find a trustee and tell the matter out. Then let the trustees speak for themselves, so that all the court officials were involved. The emperor was very democratic. The reason for doing the court was that this was because the reason for doing it was sufficient. The emperor listened to the correct opinions and was justified. There was no reason to resist the people below. This was the conclusion and experience that Yang Jing had drawn after being an emperor for such a long time.
However, Yang Jing himself raised the matter of establishing the Li Bureau today. This matter is related to the legitimacy of the rule of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family. It is normal for the emperor to raise it personally. Would that emperor not care about his own country? This problem also seems to be more serious, and the emperor attaches great importance to this matter.
As soon as the emperor said the words, the people below started to talk, and the entire hall became buzzing.
Yang Jing was not in a hurry. This matter must make the court officials willingly not use strong people. Now, their prestige is not enough and their backs are not strong enough. If you want to do anything, you have to go through the "democratic" procedure and not be arbitrary.
Seeing the court officials discussing, Yang Jingwei said, "Okay, you guys, you have been talking about it for a long time. If anyone has anything to say, just say it."
"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to say." A minister stood up first.
Yang Jie looked at it and said that this guy was standing in front of his cabinet chief Shi Fenglai. This guy was regarded as a roadblock that could be kicked away by "people with heart"! He was regarded as a guy who would be kicked away in his cabinet change this time!
"Oh! Haha, Shi Aiqing, just say anything if you have anything to say." Yang Jing looked at his cabinet chief minister curiously. This guy, after the last time in the Imperial College, Yang Jing checked the information of this guy. This guy was also involved in the Wei case and should have stepped down early. However, in this time and space, due to the emergence of Yang Jing, there were variables in the Wei case. Because he could pay money to atone for his sins, Yang Jing consciously slowed down the time when the Donglin Party mastered the government and consciously prevented the Donglin Party from becoming the dominant party. Therefore, there are still many people involved in the Wei case who are still in the court, such as this Prime Minister, who is the person who is at the forefront of the storm.
This time the emperor decided on the Wei case. Although there was atonement silver and the emperor's conscious "inaction", the cabinet chief minister was able to continue working until now, but it was basically undermined. Judging from the current court's direction, the ministers who had been suppressed by the Wei party were recovering in large quantities. Therefore, in the eyes of some people, this Shi Feng came to the chief minister was also regarded as a roadblock that could be easily kicked away. It was also the case of the Imperial College, which was in the name of his.
"I believe that this calendar has always been attached to all dynasties and dynasties. As Your Majesty said, it is related to the orthodoxy of our Ming Dynasty, the accuracy of farming, and the harvest of production. Now that the natural disaster is approaching, it is even more important. However, this calendar is not accurate, which is well known. Therefore, I think it is necessary to revise the calendar immediately. In this way, it can not miss the farming season or the farming season, so that the harvest can be more abundant. This will be more effective in fighting against natural disasters. I fully agree with Your Majesty's intention, and it is urgent to revise the calendar." As soon as Shi Fenglai spoke, he stood completely on the side of the emperor.
Yang Jing looked at the prime minister curiously. This guy is now standing on his side! He is completely speaking for himself! In the past, this guy didn't speak much!
After Shi Fenglai flattered the emperor, he retreated. Shi Fenglai also knew that he had a deep connection with the Wei case and had a self-knowledge. According to the current situation in the court, it was only a matter of time before he stepped down. Although he wanted to leave this position, the emperor did not let him go, and he didn't know what the emperor thought. He had a very good relationship with Wei Zhongxian. Logically speaking, as soon as the emperor took office, he would quickly let him get out, but for some reason, the emperor had always made him the chief minister until now. This was something Shi Fenglai couldn't figure out. He originally thought that he could not do it.
After a few days, in the court, he did not speak much or take care of things. In this way, he would not offend others, in order to give himself a decent retirement. However, this time, Shi Fenglai planned to change because even if he didn't want to provoke anyone, others regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. The position he sat in was really cared about was too many people, and the emperor did not let himself get out, making himself feel like he was sitting on the fire. This time, Shi Fenglai smelled a little strange about the matter in the Imperial College and realized something, so he changed his normalcy and stood on the side of the emperor.
"Well, Shou Guardian Shi is right. What else does that Qing family have to say?" Yang Jingang asked again.
In the court, ministers, please look at me and I look at you.
A minister came out and reported: "I believe that re-revising the calendar is certainly a good thing, but I don't know who your Majesty is going to take responsibility? If it is the Imperial Heaven Supervisor, I think that this may not be able to complete the important task of re-revising the calendar."
There are basically no people in the court who oppose revision of the calendar because the current calendar is inaccurate, which is well known. Revising the calendar has no serious relationship with them. This can only be said that it is related to the family affairs of the emperor, the royal family, and the Zhu family. The emperor himself thinks it is important. In fact, it has nothing to do with the court.
"Oh, hehe, how did this Qing family know that the Imperial Heavenly Prison cannot re-revise the calendar?" Yang Jing asked interested. This guy, looking at him, seems to be a guru! If you don't need the Imperial Heavenly Prison, who should you use? If you are going to pull it around, wouldn't you only use Xu Guangqi?
"Report to Your Majesty, the Imperial Heaven Supervision calculates the time of heaven and forecasts the time of heaven and heaven. How can we bear the heavy responsibility of re-revising the calendar? If they were asked to practice, wouldn't it be the same as not practicing, and it is not accurate after practicing, so why bother to do it?"
"Oh? Haha, this Qing family, how do you know that the calculation time of the Imperial Heaven Supervision is inaccurate?" Yang Jing thought it was interesting. This guy must be a tutor, so he cooperated with this tutor to perform and prepare to see what he said.
"Report to Your Majesty, it is said that in the 38th year of Wanli, the Imperial Heaven Survey once compared the Westerners with the accuracy of forecasting the time, but they lost. Therefore, I think that the Imperial Heaven Survey may not be able to complete the entrusted by Your Majesty." This minister put forward the facts.
"Oh? And this is also the case? When will the Imperial Heaven Prison compare with the Westerners to forecast the weather?" Yang Jing became interested in this. This thing seems to be a common trick by a time traveler! Pretend to be a charlatan! I don't know if it was the good thing that the time traveler did, so he brought down His Majesty the Imperial Heaven Prison of the imperial Heaven Prison in the court to achieve the purpose of becoming famous.
"Report to Your Majesty, this is indeed true. It was in the 38th year of Wanli. It is said that the Imperial Heaven Supervision did make a mistake and did not have the accurate predictions from the Westerners." The minister said.
This double act was obviously not performed alone. Someone came out and continued to perform: "Report to Your Majesty, in the 38th year of Wanli, it was not the Westerners who competed with the Imperial Heaven Supervision to predict the time, but Xu Zixian and Lord Xu." The man added.
Haha, is it Xu Guangqi? Yang Jie thinks this is even more interesting. Is this the double act that Xu Guangqi sang? His master Xu is still very capable of a charlatan! Yang Jie thinks that Xu Guangqi's life is also colorful! He is not bad at doing anything than many time travelers.
"Oh! Haha, Master Xu, is this true?" Yang Jing took advantage of this excuse and turned the topic to Xu Guangqi. Now, it's time for Xu Guangqi to play.
Xu Guangqi said: "Report to Your Majesty, this is indeed true. However, this is not a formal competition. It is just that each performs calculations. The conclusions I have drawn are closer, so I can't win."
"Oh? Haha, interesting, Master Xu is really amazing! This calculation skill is really amazing! But what are the secrets?" Yang Jing praised Xu Guangqi and asked Xu Guangqi what secrets he had. In fact, is it still necessary to ask? Using Western Arabic numerals to calculate, the traditional Chinese calculation method pays more attention to practicality, rather than theory. Therefore, once this super operation is involved and huge data operations are involved, it is often impossible to beat Western algorithms. Yang Jing said this just to be a guru.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no secret. I just used Western algorithms to calculate. I was lucky enough to predict more accurately." Xu Guangqi was very modest.
"Oh? Is that true? That is to say, Western algorithms are more accurate than traditional algorithms in our dynasty?"
"Report to Your Majesty, that's true." Xu Guangqi replied again.
"So that's the case, then use Western algorithms to calculate the calendar. Do you guys have any opinions?" Yang Jingwei asked again.
The ministers in the court were almost vomiting. Such obvious double acts of the two parties really treated us as idiots! Who doesn’t know the relationship between the emperor and Xu Guangqi, so they need to praise each other like this, ask? You just let Xu Guangqi be responsible for revising the calendar. No one is competing with you. Emperor, Xu Guangqi has gone to revise the calendar. Even better, there is no competitor in the court.
Someone couldn't stand it, and someone stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I fully agree with what Your Majesty said. Since this calendar is related to the country, the farming, the harvest of the world, and the food of the people in the world, we should use Western algorithms that can calculate more accurately. I think that Xu Zixuan Xu is proficient in Western algorithms and can preside over this matter..." A minister really couldn't stand it, the emperor and Xu Guangqi played a double act, so he simply came out to agree with this matter, just hope that this matter would pass quickly. Don't disgust everyone again.
The other court officials were also disgusted. The double act was too obvious. No one fought with the emperor in this history, so it was not a powerful department. It was better to go to Xu Zixian. So they agreed with the emperor.
"I agree..."
"I praise you, Lord Xu is proficient in counting, highly respected, and can be fully competent..."
Yang Jingyu sighed and thought it was a bit difficult, but he didn't expect that such an easy thing would be done. The ministers wanted to ask Xu Guangqi to revise the calendar immediately.
The court officials were not fools. When they saw that the emperor had already had an idea of who would revise the calendar, the reason why he discussed this matter in the court was just a pretentious act. Besides, the calendar bureau was not a vital department, so he could only say that the emperor was preparing to change the cabinet. Now the emperor was clear about the matter of changing the cabinet, so he was holding his energy and running towards the cabinet. There was still some thoughts about the calendar bureau with Xu Guangqi.
"Then Master Xu, do you have anything to say?" This matter was easily passed. However, the double act had to continue singing. It was the Li Bureau. The affairs of the Science and Technology Academy have not yet been settled. If the affairs of the Science and Technology Academy were not solved, the matter of the Science and Technology Academy would be in vain.
"Report to your Majesty, although I am proficient in Western algorithms, I am not able to complete the important task of reorganizing the calendar, so I want to ask Your Majesty to establish a calendar bureau, specializing in reorganization of the calendar. In addition, using Western methods to calculate astronomy and calendar, you have to do some research on Western algorithms and the equipment involved, cultivate some people who are familiar with Western algorithms, to assist me in calculating the calendar, and use many things that I have not had before, such as tools for observing astronomy. This, Your Majesty, you may have to set up a research institute under the calendar bureau, specializing in cultivating talents in Western algorithms, and specializing in the tools and equipment for calculating the calendar. In this way, only by calculating the astronomical calendar can we achieve foolproof and more accurate!" Xu Guangqi spared the Academy of Sciences and Technology, and now he can conduct scientific research in a grand manner.
At a critical moment, Yang Jingwei was also very nervous, afraid that the court officials would interfere and break his wishes. Seeing that the court officials did not make any noise, it seemed that they had agreed to this matter. Yang Jingwei knew that the court officials were acting double acts against the monarch and ministers, and they were almost vomiting, and they just wanted to finish the matter as soon as possible so as to enter the next stage.
"Since that's the case, then follow Master Sun. Master Sun is responsible for establishing the calendar bureau and presided over the revision of the calendar. It must be accurate and accurately predict the time and not miss the farming. As for the use of Western algorithms and the establishment of the research institute, it is indeed necessary. I cannot let Master Sun revise the calendar alone! It is necessary to need a group of helpers, so it is decided. Under the Li Bureau, a research institute will be formed to specialize in studying the Western algorithm, research tools, objects, equipment, etc., and cultivate talents..." Yang Jing decided on this matter in one breath.
The Academy of Sciences has been considered a success.
Chapter completed!
