Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 110 Big Wedding · Greetings
When it comes to craftsmen, everyone's inertial thinking thinks that the cultural level of craftsmen is not high and their learning ability is not strong.

Putting it aside in modern times, this sentence is definitely wrong.

No matter what kind of industry, a senior craftsman, even if he has no schooling, but in the process of career promotion, the frequency of contact and application of scientific knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

This is especially true for ancient craftsmen.

For example, most of the craftsmen Zhu Qi found were proficient in carpentry, blacksmithing, brick firing, construction, etc.

Even if they don't know how to draw blueprints, they must at least know how to read blueprints.

No one really thinks that the buildings full of beauty in ancient times were not designed in advance, but built directly, right?
There are no engineers these days. From drawing to construction, these craftsmen basically arrange from beginning to end.

Take Feng Qiao, who rebuilt the Zhonghe Hall and Baohe Hall among the first three halls of the Forbidden City, who was born as a craftsman.

Do you dare to say that Feng Qiao's mathematics is inferior to others?
Therefore, craftsmen such as Chen Chuwu may not know many characters, but they must be exposed to more numbers and need to use calculations on weekdays than ordinary people.

They can be said to be part of the people who have the most mathematical foundation except businessmen.

As long as he can do simple calculations, Ma San, a talented student who graduated from the University of Bologna, can teach a group of people who have a foundation in mathematics to learn the content of mathematics in the first year of junior high school within a month. It is not easy, but it is not impossible.

After all, Zhu Qi's textbook also deleted some abstract nouns, such as the concepts of rational numbers and real numbers.

And such as addition and subtraction of integers, linear equations in one variable, geometric figures, intersecting lines and parallel lines, linear equations in two variables, understanding of angles, etc., is it possible that a normal adult, under the education of a teacher, can learn won't you?
After Zhu Qi finished talking about his request, he saw Ma San pick up the book first, then turned to the first page, and then the second page. When he saw the content related to geometric figures and angles, Ma San looked at him. Li was full of surprise.

He asked cautiously:

"His Royal Highness, have you met someone like me before?"

Zhu Qi chuckled and said:

"You want to ask me where I learned these things?"

Ma San also nodded. After all, Ma San had been in the Central Plains for several years, and he couldn't be more clear about the level of ordinary people in mathematics.

In Ma San's view, the scholars of Ming Dynasty were just a group of literati who were seriously biased.

They have always only studied things related to history, literature and philosophy, but they have never paid more attention to science subjects such as mathematics and physics.

For Ma San, this is indeed a very incredible thing.

After all, since the ancient Greek scientist Aristotle clearly put forward the concept of subject-based education.

The first university established in the Western world was divided into various detailed subjects for learning according to the educational philosophy of ancient Greece.

What's more, all these things written by Zhu Qi are what Ma San has learned before!

When did Ming's mathematics become the same as that of the West?

You must have learned from others, right?Ma San thought so in his heart.

Zhu Qi didn't lie to him either, and said directly:
"It is true that I learned it from someone else, but not a foreigner like you, but my junior high school teacher, his surname is Chen."

Junior high school class teacher?Ma San and the others were a little confused, not knowing what this meant.

Zhu Qi didn't talk too much nonsense, and said with a smile:

"You don't have to worry about so many details, you just need to hand over these craftsmen to the church, starting with the Arabic numerals.

After one month, I will come back to check the results. If you can do it, it means that your level is good. Then I will use you again when the time comes. "

When Ma San heard this, his face became happy. He had been waiting for so many years, but he was just waiting for a chance to make a fortune in the Eastern world.

As for why His Royal Highness King Liao is so knowledgeable, Ma San did not go into it.

After all, in folklore, His Royal Highness Liao Wang is quite legendary, and it is said that some kind of god came down to earth.

Ma San, who believes in Catholicism, of course does not believe in any other gods, but he has also seen some child prodigies. Presumably, His Royal Highness King Liao is such a child prodigy.

Ma San took the book, Zhu Qi got up and took him to summon the craftsmen.

After convening the craftsmen in public, he told the craftsmen that he would concentrate on studying mathematics with Ma San in the next month.

Including Chen Chuwu, they didn't understand what mathematics was at first. After hearing Zhu Qi's detailed explanation, they suddenly realized.

Isn't this the method of astronomical calculus!

But the craftsmen are all surprised. We are good craftsmen, why let us learn this method of astronomy and calendar calculation?

The reason is simple, because mathematics is the foundation of most of the natural sciences, as long as the high-rise buildings of mathematics can be piled up higher, the faster the technology can climb.

Just like what the famous Chinese mathematician Chen Shiingshen said: In the process of learning mathematics, mastering the way of thinking in mathematics, how to think about problems, etc., is much more valuable than knowledge.

Although these craftsmen were strange, they didn't ask too much. His Royal Highness must have a reason for doing this.

After such a long time, these craftsmen have already developed a feeling of blind confidence towards the miraculous King Liao.

Zhu Qi didn't say much, and asked Ma San to briefly introduce himself. The craftsmen felt relieved when they saw that Ma San could speak Chinese.

As for the rest, Zhu Qi didn't care too much, and after asking Shopkeeper He to vacate a room for Ma San as a teaching place, Zhu Qi went back.

After all, March is coming soon, and as the wedding between himself and Xu Miaoyun approaches, there are more and more things to prepare.

Even with the help of those internal officials in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang specially arranged an internal official to be in charge of Zhu Qi's marriage arrangements.

But as I said before, Zhu Qi did many things by himself. On the one hand, he had a sense of participation, and on the other hand, it was because of Zhu Qi's liking for Xu Miaoyun and respect for Xu Da, the father-in-law.

As for Xu Da's mood when he said he was going to marry his daughter, Zhu Qi was not very clear, but Xu Miaoyun's brother Xu Zengshou was very happy recently.

After Li Qi and Princess Lin'an got engaged before, everywhere he went, he said that His Royal Highness King Liao was his eldest brother-in-law.

Good guy, this Xu Zengshou is also starting now, and he doesn't talk about His Royal Highness King Liao wherever he goes, and directly talks about His Highness Brother-in-law.

When these two people meet together, they will be His Royal Highness as a brother-in-law, and His Highness as a brother-in-law. Zhu Qizheng will be called a loser.

But for Zhu Qi, the days when friends are joking with each other are also very happy.

Time flies, and it will soon be the ninth year of Hongwu, March.

Zhu Qi is married.

------

The red sun hangs high above the head, just like the fiery red and festive decorations in the imperial palace and imperial city today.

It stands to reason that there is no need to decorate the palace for His Royal Highness Liao's big wedding.

After all, other than the emperor, the only one who can use the palace to serve marriages is the prince.

But the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is different from the emperors of previous dynasties.

He has never taken precautions against his sons, and in fact, he doesn't need to take precautions at all.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang stops, that little brat dares to take a breath?

Even Zhu Di didn't dare to show his air.

Above the court, Zhu Yuanzhang also maintained absolute dominance, and the imperial power was in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, which was unprecedentedly strong.

Even Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others' Zhongshu Sheng are now nothing more than rubber stamps.

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to choose a palace in the imperial city as the wedding venue for King Zhu Qi of the Liao Dynasty.

Good guy, I directly mentioned the same treatment as Prince Zhu Biao.

To be honest, Zhu Qi was still panicked when he first heard about it.

I even went to Zhu Biao for this matter. This must not set a precedent, for fear that Zhu Biao will misunderstand.

But the elder brother of the prince is worthy of being one of the few good princes and elder brothers in history. When he heard Zhu Qi's concerns, he immediately laughed:

"You still come to me about this matter? It was I who suggested it to my father!"

What else is there to say, Zhu Qi has no choice but to bite the bullet and set a precedent.

Early this morning, internal officials and servants were ready.

Although there is no such thing as a best man and a bridesmaid these days, there are still rumors that on the man's side, brothers, friends, family and relatives will go along to pick up the bride.

As Zhu Qi's good younger brother, Zhu Di is naturally obliged to take on this part of the responsibility. In addition to Zhu Di, there are also Li Qi, Li Jinglong and other noble children.

After all, everyone is a good brother who has drank, eaten, and visited the Xiaoxiang Pavilion together.

Xu Zengshou also wanted to come, but he was from the woman's side today, so he couldn't make it anyway.

Zhu Qi, on the other hand, was wearing a bright red robe, Xu Yu on his head, and official boots on his feet. He also looked extremely handsome.

Speaking of this dress, the term "groom official" only came into being in the Ming Dynasty, and the key point is the word "official".

Before the Ming Dynasty, when ordinary people got married at home, they just called the bridegroom, the bridegroom, and so on.

In the Ming Dynasty, when common people got married, the groom would wear Xuyu on his head and official boots on his feet, which he would never dare to wear in normal times.

That's why there is the saying of the bridegroom officer.

As long as a person is handsome, he will appear extraordinarily energetic.

Zhu Di also came up to him at this time, but he was holding two bird cages in his hands, and each cage contained a wild goose.

Needless to say, this is the one I took to greet the relatives. Zhu Qi looked strange and asked:

"Didn't you give a gift yesterday, and you've already made up your makeup, why did you take two birds with you?"

Zhu Di squeezed his eyes and said:
"Third Brother, Big Brother said that when we are welcoming the bride, bringing this pair of wild geese is to wish the harmony of Yin and Yang, and the meaning of loyalty and unswerving, which is a good meaning."

Zhu Qiyi nodded when he heard this, and the eunuch beside him said with a smile:
"Your Highness, it's time, shall we set off?"

Zhu Qi smiled and nodded, let's go, go get married!
