Chapter 156: Science and technology promote history, who will compete with the imperial party
Zhu Youxiao waited deliberately for a while, glanced at everyone, and then said with a smile: "Then I will be in a thatched cottage now, wearing animal fur skirts, and living a life of slashing and fire."
Hahahaha, everyone couldn't help laughing, and they all felt it was ridiculous.
After the laughter stopped, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his finger and listed it: "The Han Dynasty invented papermaking, and porcelain was also fired since the Han Dynasty; the Tang Dynasty invented woodblock printing, and papermaking technology was also more advanced and of better quality; the Song Dynasty invented movable type printing, compass, gunpowder, etc. The "Creation of the French" written by Li Jie is an outstanding work in the history of architecture; the Yuan Dynasty invented color overprinting and wooden movable type wheel type wheel type plate, and Wang Zhen's "Book of Agriculture"..."
The voice increased a little, Zhu Youxiao said loudly: "The ones listed below are only a very small part, but they have a profound impact and have changed people's production and life in the future. Without paper and printing, how can we read books? Do we still use bamboo slips? Without the advancement of farming technology, how can we support more people and how can we have a Ming Dynasty with billions of citizens?"
"And this is the reason to learn physics and chemistry that I thought of." Zhu Youxiao finally concluded and made a solemn promise, "I am collecting all inventions and creations from ancient times to the present. Although many inventors have not left their names, they are part of changing history and promoting historical progress. They should be listed in the history books."
"Okay." Xu Fuyuan applauded hard, which caused a sparse applause.
Wang Jizhong also praised his head, and his eyes looked at Zhu Youxiao differently. When the voice stopped, he smiled and asked, "Brother Shen, that brother Zhang Yiyi should be qualified to be listed in this book, right?"
"Of course." Zhu Youxiao answered without thinking, "How can the first person in Chinese history to polish a lens by himself and observe the microbial world that cannot be seen in the naked eye, not qualified?"
Zhang Yitai's face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, Brother Shen should be listed above."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and spread his hands and said, "But I don't have a lens and I don't see microorganisms!"
"Brother Shen is enough just for the two books on physics and chemistry." Wang Jizhong said with a temptation: "And it should be written in a rich and colorful way."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and denied again, "I have said before that these two books are the efforts of countless predecessors, but I am lucky enough to get it by chance."
After waved his hand hard, Zhu Youxiao changed the topic and said, "Tell you good news, the court will soon introduce a new policy on employment. You just focus on studying science and technology, and become a high-quality scientific and technological talent in the future, and also shine your ancestors and leave your name in history. Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, and if you really have no interest, you won't force it."
When doing technology, you can’t be eager for quick success and instant benefits. Now, the Ming Dynasty is not behind the rest of the world, and is even far superior to other countries in some areas.
However, in terms of knowledge inheritance and education system, the Ming Dynasty was already far behind.
The Four Books and Five Classics are still the main learning content, and the imperial examinations are still the mainstream. There are quite a lot of academies, but what we teach and learn are still poetry, songs, and beautiful articles. We have narrow knowledge and little practicality.
Most skilled craftsmen who truly master skills have ancestral craftsmanship. Knowing the truth but not the reason, it is difficult to write down the principles and experiences, which is more conducive to the inheritance of skills.
Those who can speak and write are disdainful to study the people's livelihood skills, those who master skills lack cultural knowledge, and are even illiterate.
In the Ming Dynasty, this is the current situation, which greatly hindered the development and inheritance of science and technology. If Zhu Youxiao wants to change, establishing the Academy of Sciences is the first step.
Everything that should be said was said, and Zhu Youxiao also knew that someone would quit. This was impossible, and people were not interested, and they were not interested in scientific research. It was not surprising at all.
In a month, Zhu Youxiao came and lifted the closure and saw the effect of the closure. Those who wish to stay stay, and those who wish to leave leave.
What, will take away the knowledge, Zhu Youxiao can only laugh at it.
Physics and chemistry at junior high school level are just a preparation. Even if you learn it thoroughly, you are just a middle school student. Can you still expect him to build a steam engine?
After talking to the students for a while, Zhu Youxiao got up and said goodbye.
Time travelers who don’t want to be teachers are not good emperors. The Academy of Sciences is a long-term consideration. There are too many civil affairs and government affairs to deal with, and that is Zhu Youxiao’s job.
………………………………………
Developing science and technology and establishing a system is a long-term plan, which benefits the present and the future; and promoting reform and promoting profits and eliminating disadvantages are the most important tasks in front of you.
That’s right, the most important thing! It’s more important than fighting Jiannu and suppressing rebellion. Because this is a necessary condition and the basis for victory.
To put it bluntly, the court with constant party struggles, the finances with tight money and food, the officials who are corrupt and enjoyable, and the people who live hard can defeat foreign enemies and quell civil strife?
From the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty to the growth of the Later Jin Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty in history did not have no chance to win, but was completely bound by internal corruption, and eventually collapsed under the double blows of the inside and outside.
Only by standing firmly can you hit someone, and you can retract your arms and punch them harder. You are sick and want to fight with someone, but you are kicked by a donkey in the head?
The current situation of Jiannu and Shuixi rebels cannot prove that the Ming Dynasty has recovered from illness.
Zhu Youxiao believed that his strong medicine had worked, which was equivalent to taking stimulant... agents. He was full of energy for a while, but if he could not find continuous motivation or was satisfied with it, the result would not be much better than history.
Therefore, reform must continue to be promoted. As for the resistance, it will not be too great. Zhu Youxiao has absolute confidence in this.
Some people may say that the civil servant group is very strong, the nobles are also very powerful, and vested interest groups will become a huge obstacle to reform.
But Zhu Youxiao has seen clearly the weakness of these forces hindering reform.
Do you think that a father-in-law who is favored by the emperor can defeat the civil servant group and form a powerful "eunuch party" who is in power. How can the emperor be inferior to the old Wei?
There are many people who want to be officials, such as the Donglin Party, Chu Party, and Zhejiang Party officials, and the Ming Dynasty will also be in operation. There will be countless people who are sharpening their heads and trying their best to be united around the emperor!
The left hand seal handle and the right hand gun are the hard truths of using people in feudal society that have remained unchanged forever.
If you want an official position and power, it’s okay, as long as you listen to the emperor; why do you want to compete with the emperor and connect it to obstruct it? That’s easy to deal with it. It’s still light to dismiss the official position and to remove it from the government. The standard punishment is already a standard punishment.
There is an army on the outside, a factory guard on the inside, and a growing "Imperial Party". Zhu Youxiao felt that he could not defeat any interest group. Wouldn't he even be inferior to Eunuch Wei who had no subordinates?
Rebellion, borrow a hundred courage from them; oppose them in a series of ways, and deal with them as soon as there are signs, and they will not give them a chance to grow bigger.
Sitting in the imperial chair, Zhu Youxiao was flipping through the report submitted by the Dongchang. If there is no major event, report it every five days; if something may happen, report it every day.
The focus of surveillance was on the civil servants of the Party in Donglin, Chu, Zhejiang and other places, as well as vassals and nobles from all over the country. Especially those who were frustrated in the reform, they were the top priority.
The vassal was quite honest, especially the vassal kings. Not only were the East Factory staring at them, but local officials were also very careful. They had been raising pigs for so many years, and they could eat and wear warm clothes. Basically, no one sacrificed their lives to cause trouble.
The report also mentioned that King Fu Zhu Dapang gave up his wealth and took me back and was enjoying the joy of family.
Zhu Dapang settled the province every day and evening, and even reported to the local officials, and took my mother to travel around Kaifeng for a while. It is said that he even lost a lot of weight.
Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips and maliciously speculated that Zhu Dapang was able to lose weight was not because of exercise, but because of the money he had given out, right?
There are also reports about civil servants, but those guys who may become resistance to reform have obviously been beaten to pieces by the "Imperial Party".
He was constantly punished for the crime of corruption, and the lightest one was detained to Dongban, and Hainan was transformed in labor. With a little connection, he was put down again as a big hat for forming cliques and making contributions to the development of the border.
Zhu Youxiao's most direct method to eliminate all the unstable factors in the bud.
Under the merciless blow, many civil servants also changed their courses and slashed their heads to please the emperor in order to become a member of the "Imperial Party".
While attacking, Zhu Youchao was not stingy in obedient officials. He fought and pulled, and the growth of the "Imperial Party" was unstoppable.
Well, it is not particularly accurate to say "Imperial Party". Since "I am the country", aren't the civil servants and generals united around me all good officials of the Ming Dynasty?
I was very happy to read the report, but when I saw the last text, the emperor couldn't help but change his face.
"I'm really shameless and I have to force me to get angry." Zhu Youxiao threw down the document, sneered, and decided to shoot the first bird, which not only made money but also shocked the rest, killing two birds with one stone.
Wang Tiqian, who was standing under the stairs, was startled by the sound. Although he seemed to be hanging his head, he had been observing the emperor's face. The emperor suddenly showed anger and began to speculate on what had happened.
Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, thinking about the excuse for punishment. To say that the emperor punished people in the feudal era, he could be described as "If you want to add a crime, there is no reason to worry about it."
Just a "resentment" can make the ministers have nothing to say. You said you didn't think so in your heart, but how can you prove it? The emperor said that there is, just have it, shut up!
What's more, Zhu Youxiao is not talking nonsense. What you do will reveal your heart. It is perfect for you to "have resentment" and "resist the order and not obey the order".
The emperor thought of a way to deal with it, his eyes turned and moved to Wang Tiqian.
Wang Tiqian noticed that the emperor was staring at him, but did not dare to look up. He stood respectfully, waiting for the emperor's orders.
"Parent Wang, go through the background investigation of the palace servants carefully." After a while, Zhu Youxiao said in a deep voice: "I offended civil servants, nobles, gentry, and students. It is inevitable that some bastards want to harm me and my relatives."
There are always unruly people who want to harm me. Zhu Youxiao is not a fantasy, but how many emperors died in the Ming Dynasty were suspicious. Not to mention others, the little carpenter is an example.
Wang Tigan felt a stern in his heart and hurriedly bowed to respond, "Don't worry, I will investigate now. Anyone who has been involved in civil servants, nobles, gentry, and children from the 18th generation of ancestors will be driven out."
"Forget it for the eighteenth generation." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Three generations are enough! I know the loyalty of the Wang Pei."
That's what Wang Tigan said, "I'll be eighteen generations, are you looking through the family tree? Thirty years from Hedong, Thirty years from Hexi. Don't you allow people to be very powerful in ancestors?
He bowed and accepted the order, Wang Tigan retreated, and the hall became quiet, leaving only the emperor thinking.
…………………………………
If we look at the "eunuch party" in history, it may be the most prosperous in the Ming Dynasty. Before that, there were Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, Liu Jin, and the rising star, Eunuch Wei, who was far superior to his predecessors and had the greatest reputation.
The "eunuch party" is not composed of eunuchs, but a political group formed by bureaucrats relying on the power of eunuchs.
Why do you have to rely on your father-in-law who is looked down upon? Isn’t the civil servant very noble?
The reason is simple, and it is beneficial. Whether it is promotion, wealth, or eliminating the pleasure of dissidents, it is enough to let go of dignity and reserve and fall at the feet of the eunuch.
Now the official situation in the Ming Dynasty is gradually becoming clearer. Although there are no eunuchs to rely on, wouldn’t it be a faster way to become a reliable emperor?
Of course, most of the people who are qualified to win the favor of the emperor are officials in the capital, and local officials also have opportunities, but fewer ones.
However, the emperor's new school and official transfer through officials was equivalent to opening up a channel to become an official in addition to the imperial examination, attracting countless scholars to participate.
Lu Qinghou, who originally wanted to be a occupant in a restaurant and use it to support his family, was one of the many scholars who were attracted to the capital by the new policy.
Compared with the imperial examinations where thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, and entering a new school, although he did not have the glory of a high school in Jinbang, he was like a god-given opportunity and the emperor's grace was a great opportunity for scholars like Lu Qinghou who believed it was difficult to achieve.
Compared with being an official, the court had to cancel the preferential treatment for students, Lu Qinghou felt that it was nothing.
When he arrived at the capital, Lu Qinghou saw another prosperous scene. Before he could open his eyes, he hurried to register for the new school.
The registration process was very smooth. With the title of scholar and his resume as an accountant, Lu Qinghou was assigned to the accounting major.
The new school has only opened five majors, namely accounting, farming, water conservancy, law, and business. You can guess the general problem by looking at the name of the major. The tax officials who graduate from accounting must be undoubtedly tax officials.
While Zhu Youzhao determined these five majors, he also made regulations that in addition to studying the main major, students can also add another major as a minor.
When Lu Qinghou was asked about his major in minors, he thought for a while and determined the law. He thought that going to court to review a case was the main job of the magistrate. With this knowledge, he would be very helpful for his future career.
After signing up, I went to the dormitory arranged for him. Xinxue also gave Lu Qinghou two days off in a human way, so that he could rest well and relieve the fatigue of the long journey.
The two of them don’t have such treatment in the top universities in later generations!
