When the mainstream books in China are the Four Books and Five Classics, most scholars regard them as classics and will last for hundreds of years.

The West has used various instruments to tinker with physical and chemical experiments and recorded scientific principles in books;

When Yongli was dreaming of being peaceful in Yunnan, the apple had already smashed Newton's head; the mayor of Madberg was whipping the horse with a whip, and shouting with two hemispheres.

Well, all this will end in the hands of the young emperor who is wise and wise, wise and wise, wise and wise, and wants to live another five hundred years.

Kinny Court, Joshua Chan and others exchanged gazes with each other, showing a look of surprise and surprise.

The young emperor's oral words were basically books on natural sciences, which were very accurate.

It introduces Galileo's optical work "Theory of Telescope", the mining work written by German mining and smelting scientists, the masterpiece "The Complete Book of Mining and Metallurgical Technology", and even the "Structure of the Human Body" involving anatomy, etc.

Xu Guangqi was also very shocked. He only knew that the young emperor was very interested in Western learning, so he asked him to find some foreigners, give them the right to meet, and named Johnson Chan.

But he did not expect that the young emperor was so familiar with Western things, or he had a considerable understanding of technology.

Could it be that the inspiration obtained by fighting carpenters, or that they secretly learn the skills of Westerners in order to build carpenters well?

Xu Guangqi shook his head and threw away this unreliable idea.

Zhu Youxiao's voice stopped, and he was still feeling a little unsatisfied. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said, "It's only so much for the time being, translate and print it as soon as possible. I'll be sure to build a library in Beijing. I can give it a house now. As for--"

Pausing and pondering, the young emperor finally made a decision in the anxious and expectant eyes of everyone.

"You can live in Beijing for a long time and preach in accordance with the 'Monkey King Ricci Rules'. In the future, whether the rules are increased, reduced and modified, and whether the territory is expanded depends on the specific social reactions, as well as the contribution and help of the Jesus to the Ming Dynasty."

The so-called "Matthew Ricci rules" are Christian missionary strategies and methods that have been compromised and changed and conform to the characteristics of the Chinese.

It probably includes the following points: Confucianism and Buddhism are dispelled, missionaries are raising beards and hair, dressed in Chinese scholars' clothing, and are tolerant of traditional Chinese customs. Chinese believers can continue to worship the heavens, ancestors, and Confucius in traditional ways;

Religious ceremonies are held in Chinese, local people are allowed to serve as clergy, and can be translated into the Bible in Chinese;

There is also the "God" who calls Catholicism by "Catholic", which recognizes that the traditional Chinese "Heaven" and "God, God" are essentially no different from the "only true God" mentioned by Catholicism...

That's right, "God" is the concept of the supreme god in the Chinese Confucian classics "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Books", "The Book of Rites" and the twenty-four histories. It is a word that has existed in China since ancient times.

In ancient times, it also refers to the gods who dominate all things, as well as the emperors of ancient times. For example, "The God is the desolation of the people" and "This is the secret of God and the preacher of his ancestors."

In other words, Matteo Ricci changed his concept, making it easier for Catholicism to be recognized by the Chinese.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, learned from history, and preaching according to the "Matthew Ricci rules" was already their consensus, and there was no resistance.

Historically, after Matteo Ricci's death, some fanatical missionaries believed that Matteo Ricci was too accommodating to the Chinese and developed believers too slowly, so they adopted radical missionary methods.

It is precisely because they reject Confucianism and strictly prohibit Chinese people from worshiping the heavens, ancestors, and Confucius, which aroused the disgust and suspicion of people in society. Chen Guan, the Minister of Rites of Nanjing, who prefers Buddhism, took the opportunity to use it, which led to the "Nanjing Lesson Plan".

This crackdown was heavy on the spread of Catholicism in China, with missionaries being expelled, imprisoned, and even killed, and had almost no place to establish a foothold in mainland China.

The lesson is profound. How could Kinny Court, Johnson Chan and others repeat the same mistake?

Therefore, as soon as these missionaries set foot on Chinese land, the first thing they had to do was to carefully study Chinese language and culture, and even aim to master Beijing Mandarin.

Then, they took off their monk's robe, put on Confucian robes, devoted themselves to studying Chinese classics, history and ethics, and found a point of integration between Eastern and Western cultures.

At the same time, they also focus on interacting with celebrities in the court and the opposition, hoping to win the favor and trust of Chinese literati and doctors. This is also the missionary strategy of "combining Confucianism and surpassing Confucianism" created by Matteo Ricci.

Kinnige bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know what kind of help you need to be satisfied with your noble majesty, besides translating books."

"First of all, we are building a gun factory." Zhu Youxiao pointed at Tang Ruowang, "Then the priest Tang was responsible for supervising it. How about?"

Joshua Cham bowed and said, "I am honored to serve Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile, picked up the telescope casually, and said, "There are also many of this telescope and the instruments you bring. However, it takes too long to purchase from overseas. In this way, buying and manufacturing will be carried out at the same time, hoping to complete it in the shortest time."

After pausing, the young emperor added: "If craftsmen and technicians or scholars and teachers from various industries can be recruited from overseas, they will be treated well and you will also receive rewards."

Whether it is to use it as a philosophical person, to introduce learning, or to buy it directly, Zhu Youxiao prepared to use it all to start the modern scientific research of the Ming Dynasty in the shortest time.

Technology is productivity, and technology can promote the country and rejuvenate the country. Zhu Youxiao firmly believes in this.

Kinnige nodded vigorously and said, "As your Majesty wish, we are willing to do our best to complete your mission."

What the young emperor said was not difficult, and there was no need for them to go back to Europe specifically, just ask for the return merchant ships to purchase and recruit.

As for the local manufacturing in China, there is no problem with guns and cannons. This transparent glass is a bit difficult, but it is not impossible to overcome. At worst, it can be rebuilt by the recruited craftsmen and mirror maker.

"Xu Qing." Zhu Youxiao turned to Xu Guangqi and explained: "Master Jin and others will be handed over to you. They can also write a memorial and question paper, and you will submit it. I will arrange the funds required for the office space immediately, so you can start working as soon as possible."

"Also, the Geometric Originals and Measuring Methods jointly translated by Xu Qing and Matteo Ricci have begun to be published and will be available soon." The young emperor smiled and showed his two white teeth.

"The work of recruiting orphans of appropriate age across the country has also begun. We will first expand from the capital to Shuntian Prefecture. The teaching of the Academy of Sciences must be prepared as soon as possible!"

"The Origin of Geometry" and "Measuring Methods" are too important. Not to mention its great use in manufacturing and surveying, even the aiming and distance measurement of artillery soldiers is inseparable.

Flat throwing, oblique throwing...cutting, oblique throwing formula is too difficult, I'm going to give it back to the teacher!
