Daming: I help my wife be the empress

The fact that Chen Yujie was appreciated by Aunt Zhu because of his proficiency in mathematics has spread almost all over the government and the public, so Huang Daozhou knows that Aunt Zhu attaches great importance to mathematics.

Mathematics, one of the six arts of the ancient gentleman, there are also many scholars in Ming Dynasty who like to study the way of mathematics.

Zodiac Zhou had a certain amount of research on astronomy and Yixue, and it can even be said that Yixue is one of the cores of his Confucianism.

Therefore, Aimee Zhu didn't think it was wrong to attach importance to mathematics and Zodiac Zhou, let alone object to it.

But after listening to Aimee Zhu's words, he couldn't help but ask, "May I ask your Majesty, what is science? If science is the foundation for the development of future generations, where will Confucianism be placed?"

After all, Aimee Zhu has only been in contact with later generations for one year, and she herself is only 17 years old. Before that, she subconsciously mixed technology and science.

But at this time, after listening to Huang Daozhou's question, she felt that technology is not science.

So, she was really stopped for a while.

Hao Guangming knew that Auntie Zhu would not be able to answer when she didn't speak for a while, so he quickly checked the information for support.

Soon Zhu Yuxi said: "Science is an orderly knowledge system based on testable explanations and predictions on the situation and organization of objective things. It is systematized and formulaic knowledge."

Huang Daozhou was dumbfounded.

He understood every word Aimi Zhu said, but he really couldn't understand it together.

What Aimee Zhu said was all vernacular.

He never thought that, as a great Confucian, there would be a day when he couldn't even understand the vernacular.

Fortunately, he understood the last and most important sentence of Aimee Zhu.

"Confucianism can also be regarded as one of the branches of science in later generations."

Huang Daozhou heaved a sigh of relief.

In fact, what he was most worried about was the complete extinction of Confucianism.

Since Confucianism is included in science, it means that Confucianism has been passed down.

Putting aside his worries, Huang Daozhou began to advise on the matter of promoting mathematics.

He said: "Many scholars in the Ming Dynasty aimed for the imperial examination, and they hardly studied knowledge other than the Four Books and Five Classics before passing the examination.

Therefore, if His Majesty wants to promote mathematics, it is not enough to just promote it through academic officials. It is better to announce to the world that mathematics content will be added to the imperial examination. "

Hearing these words, Auntie Zhu didn't feel anything, but Hao Guangming was quite surprised, and almost suspected that Huang Daozhou was a time traveler.

Otherwise, how can we change the content of the imperial examination?
This is no ordinary boldness.

'It seems that I don't know enough about scholars in the late Ming Dynasty, and I have to study more materials later. '

Here, Auntie Zhu said in surprise, "I never thought Mr. Shi Zhai would coincide with me."

Afterwards, the two monarchs and ministers discussed the specific mathematical content to be added in the imperial examination.

In order to avoid self-defeating from taking too many steps, Zhu Wei planned to let the scholars of Daming learn the existing mathematical knowledge of Daming, such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Zhoubi Suanjing" and other relatively simple contents.

After Hao Guangming came up with modern mathematics textbooks suitable for Daming scholars to learn, let Daming print and distribute them.

In fact, at the beginning, the two of them thought about directly using the mathematics textbooks for primary and secondary schools in later generations.

However, it was later discovered that not only were there a lot of incomprehensible text content on it, but it was also not suitable for self-study by scholars of the Ming Dynasty, but more suitable for teachers of later generations to teach.

Therefore, if you want suitable teaching materials, you still have to find someone to write them.

Textbooks for other subjects also need to be re-edited.

Before the textbooks were compiled, only relevant books already available in the Ming Dynasty could be used.

In fact, when China arrived in the Ming Dynasty, the development of mathematics was still not inferior to the world's top level.

It's just that relevant knowledge and books are circulated in the circle of interest in Daming mathematics, and have not spread.

As for ordinary scholars in Ming Dynasty, not to mention books on mathematics, they seldom even read history books.

As Huang Daozhou said, before the Zhongju, most scholars only read the Four Books and Five Classics and related books.

I don’t read other books, not only because I don’t have access to them, but also because I don’t have the time and energy to study and research.

···
After visiting the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Yuxi visited the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Patrol, and the Ministry of Communications in turn.

Compared with the Ministry of Rites, the rest of the officials in several departments are not in a state of health preservation. Except for the Ministry of Communications, the other five departments can even be said to be busy.

Of course, the problems in these departments are by no means less than those in the Ministry of Rites, and it can even be said that they are much more.

But Auntie Zhu couldn't solve everything in one afternoon.

In fact, neither Zhu Yuxi nor Hao Guangming know all about these departments, and it also takes time to deepen their understanding of the functions of these departments.

Only when we have a thorough understanding of these departments and how they operated in the late Ming Dynasty can we start reforming.

As for overthrowing everything all at once and establishing new ones all at once, you need someone.

Before there are enough new-style administrative talents, all aspects of government affairs can't be said to be put on hold, can they?You have to rely on the same old things first.

We can only use this old-fashioned thing to solve some of its problems while cultivating talents and slowly building a new organizational structure.

Still the same sentence, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish", there is no rush...

The next day, around eight o'clock in the morning.

Hall of Martial Arts.

A woman with a height of nearly 1.8 meters bowed respectfully to Aimee Zhu.

"Folk girl, see Your Majesty after finishing her work!"

It was Bi Zhuo, the strange woman recommended by Hao Guangming to Aunt Zhu, who was finally found by Jin Yiwei.

Aimee Zhu has a bit of an obsession with collecting strange women now, so she is very happy to see Bi Zhu.

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Bi Zhu got up, Auntie Zhu looked at her carefully.

Although Bi Zhu is about 1.8 meters tall, his appearance is not ugly. His skin is as white as fat, his lancet-like eyebrows are thick and black, his eyes are shooting stars, his nose is straight, his mouth is slightly larger and his lips are thicker.
His figure is tall and straight, and he still looks a little flat-chested.

With such a figure and appearance, if a woman disguises herself as a man, it is estimated that others may not be able to tell the difference between male and female.

Bi Zhu was also looking at Aimee Zhu.

She originally lived in seclusion in the mountains and villages near Nanjing, and kept filial piety for her father. Before being approached by Jin Yiwei, she had heard some rumors about Aimee Zhu.

It's just that those rumors were too exaggerated, so she didn't take them seriously.

It wasn't until she was approached by Jin Yiwei and came to Nanjing that she realized that some of the rumors were not groundless.

"I heard that Taowen can hold a stone bow?" Aimee Zhu asked curiously.

This hearing is naturally seen from the materials of later generations.

It should be noted that the concept of a stone bow in the Ming Dynasty is different from that of previous dynasties.

In the Ming Dynasty, strength was mainly measured. Generally speaking, nine catties and four ounces were one strength, and bows and arrows in actual combat in the army generally had three to five strength.Join ten forces into one stone.

Therefore, in Hao Guangming's and Zhu Yu's eyes, being able to hold a stone bow is really fierce.

After hearing this, Bi Zhu clasped his fists and said, "A folk girl could hold one stone bow when she was fourteen or five years old, and now she can hold five stone bows.

However, pulling a heavy bow is actually for training strength and toning the body. In actual combat, folk women often use seven-power bows. "

After hearing these words, Aimee Zhu and Hao Guangming were silent for a moment, shocked in their hearts.

Five stone bows weigh four to five hundred catties, or more than 200 kilograms.

Even if it's just for strength training, it's still very fierce.

This looks like a proper female warrior in front of me.
