Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 141 Daming Compulsory Education, Overthrowing Yan Shenggong Kong's Family [New January, please ask for a monthly ticket! ! ! 】

"Uncle, I was praised by my husband today. He said that I am very talented in the chemistry class!" Li Wenzhong said with a proud face.

"Haha, good!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Sir, you said you are talented in chemistry, so what is your talent in chemistry?" Zhu Han immediately asked with a smile.

The chemistry teacher of the Daming Royal Academy is not an ordinary person, but the famous Wanhu Tao Guangyi.

As the No. 1 Feitian technology in Chinese history, Wanhu Tao Guangyi has now been influenced by Zhu Han to become a great scientist with comprehensive development of physics, chemistry and biology.

Wanhu Tao Guangyi helped the Ming army improve firearms and gunpowder, and also made hot air balloons. Not long ago, he made Wanhu canned food, which gave the Ming people an excellent new way to preserve food.

For Wanhu Tao Guangyi, he can be said to have double income in name, which is far more than ordinary Taixue professors.

So such a powerful Wanhu Tao Guangyi can open his mouth to praise Li Wenzhong as a talented talent in chemistry, then Li Wenzhong must have his own uniqueness.

Zhu Han never thought that his great nephew would be a chemical genius who could be recognized by Tao Guangyi.

Naturally, Zhu Han wanted to ask how he gained Tao Guangyi's appreciation.

Li Wenzhong said triumphantly that he had just improved a gunpowder formula in an experiment in chemistry class, and it was this thing that made Li Wenzhong affirmed by Tao Guangyi.

"That's right. After the Ming Dynasty, the army will use guns and cannons to conquer the world. With your own ability, you can make even more powerful firearms for the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Han encouraged Li Wenzhong with a smile.

"Don't worry, little uncle, I will definitely work hard to learn my skills." Li Wenzhong said.

At this time, Zhu Wenzheng on the side also said loudly, not to be outdone, "I was also praised by Mr. Tao today!"

"Wenzheng, tell me how did you praise you?" Zhu Han looked at Zhu Wenzheng and smiled.

"In today's physics class, the teacher assigned homework for us, and I was the first to answer it!" Zhu Wenzheng also said proudly.

"What homework did the master assign you?" Zhu Han continued to ask.

Wanhu Tao Guangyi is the current leader of the Ming Dynasty, and the courses of physics and chemistry need to be taught by him personally.

After all, Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, the children of the relatives and relatives of the Ming Emperor, were not sloppy in their courses.

"The homework assigned by Mr. is to measure the length of the earth according to the shadow of the sun." Zhu Wenzheng said proudly.

"What? The length of the earth? The sky and the earth are so big that there should be no edge or edge. How can you measure the length of the earth?" Old brother Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.

"Haha, brother, you are wrong about this. What Wen Zheng said is correct, the earth can measure its length." Zhu Han explained to his brother.

Wanhu Tao Guangyi surrounded Zhu Han almost every day, so he naturally accepted the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round, and discarded the original round sky and place.

According to the theory of heaven and earth provided by Zhu Han, the earth is a sphere. Since it is a sphere, it naturally has a circumference and a diameter.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this was a theory that subverted cognition, so he immediately asked Zhu Wenzheng, "My nephew, tell us quickly, what is the length of this land? How did you calculate it?"

"Uncle, I calculated that the length of this land is [-] li!"

Zhu Wenzheng then took out a stack of straw paper in his arms, on which he wrote his calculation process based on the shadow of the sun.

That is, according to trigonometric functions, the angle between the earth and the sun can be calculated, and finally the circumference of the earth.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately had a clear understanding of the concept that the length of the earth is [-] miles.

"Okay! That's great, our old Zhu's family has a world-renowned university student." Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.

Both Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong are only in their teens now, just ten years older than Prince Zhu Biao.

After the prince Zhu Biao inherits the throne, they will also become the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and then assist Zhu Biao in governing the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang also tested other homework for the two of them.

Both Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong were relatively intelligent, and they studied hard and worked hard. After some tests, their elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he rewarded each of them with a small handful of golden melon seeds.

"This is the gold that you, Uncle Ying, just obtained from the Japanese kingdom. In the future, you will behave well and develop more land and more gold and silver for Daming," Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Yuanzhang has also fully realized the benefits brought by the new Confucianism. For a child as young as Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, after a simple study, he can already have great talents.

If they were cultivated over time, by the time Li Wenzhong and the others were in their 20s, they would all be pillars of Ming Dynasty.

"Brother, what do you think of these two children?"

Zhu Han looked at the backs of the two children walking away slowly and said.

"They are all children of our old Zhu's family, so how bad can it be?" the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Then Daming can count on their pillars!" Zhu Han continued.

"He is indeed a pillar! The future of Daming depends on children like Wen Zheng and Wen Zhong." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.

"Brother, it would be great if you have such an idea. These are just two children. If the children of the Ming Dynasty can learn these new Confucianisms like the two of them, then how strong our Ming Dynasty will be in the future ?” Zhu Han said with a smile.

The words have already been said for this sake, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not understand Zhu Han's thoughts.

"July [-]th, we know you must be talking about compulsory education, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Yeah, that's what I wanted to say."

Regarding the matter of promoting compulsory education in Daming, Zhu Han has already considered it many times, but this matter requires a huge cost, and it is not just a matter of Ying Tianfu.

Zhu Han wanted to extend it to the entire territory of Ming Dynasty, which consisted of more than a dozen provinces and thousands of prefectures and counties.

Not to mention how many teachers and officials are needed to do this.

Even if it is the cost of setting up more than 1000 schools, that is the taxes of Daming for several years.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been obedient to Zhu Hanyan, has been hesitant about the promotion of compulsory education and has not agreed for a long time.

Now hearing that Zhu Han brought up this matter again, elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang still has a headache.

"We have just pacified Huguang, and later we suppressed the bandits and appeased the people. We spent a lot of money!"

"Moreover, the chieftains in Guizhou are now in chaos, and they need a lot of money to support them!"

"In addition, Xu Da has just pacified Guanzhong in the north, and we have to prepare food, grass and military salaries in order to recover Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and Liaodong in the future."

"I really can't spend so much money to do this compulsory education."

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Han's matter could only be temporarily delayed.

"Brother, what you said makes sense."

Zhu Han thought for a while, and then continued: "After thinking about this matter carefully, I really shouldn't rush it. After all, I don't have that much money right now, and I don't have that many people."

"Then let's not do this kind of compulsory education for the time being!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Over the years, because of Zhu Han's existence, Zhu Yuanzhang has never felt short of money.

However, recently, the territory of Ming Dynasty has increased more and more, and there are more and more places to spend money, so there is a feeling of lack of money in an instant, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was afraid of poverty since he was a child, always felt that he had food in his hands, so he didn't panic.

If the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was emptied, then Zhu Yuanzhang's heart would be completely uneasy.

"Brother, we don't have enough manpower or money right now. I thought about it. Let's start with Yingtianfu and Shandong Province first. The south and the north will be the two pilot areas."

"That's not a problem! Let's try it out in two places first. We also think it's reliable. After all, it won't cost too much money." Old brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and then continued to ask Zhu Han.

"Seventh Five-Year, after all, Yingtian Mansion is the capital of our Ming Dynasty. Why should we start from Shandong province in the north? Huaixi is our hometown. One Yingtian and one Huaixi, this is the best way! What do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who cares about his family and hometown. For Zhu Yuanzhang, Haozhou is his hometown, and the local customs and customs there are all cherished by him. Compulsory education, which is very good for future generations, naturally thinks about it first. Take care of your fellow countrymen.

But Zhu Han shook his head and said, "Brother, now Huaixi is full of the founding fathers of our Ming Dynasty, and almost every household has relatives who are officials or soldiers in the court. It's not as bad as before. Whose children still study?" I can't afford a book."

"But Shandong is different. After the rule of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, the local people's life is very difficult. If we can set up this compulsory education there, we will definitely be able to win the support of a large number of people. For the future northern expedition to the capital, then But the benefits are endless.”

"In Shandong, the local people attach great importance to educating their children. If the imperial court can provide them with this compulsory education, they will definitely be able to quickly gain the support of the Shandong people."

"Furthermore, Shandong has long been ruled by the Mongolian, Yuan, and Jin Jurchens for many years. We must quickly gather the local culture, education, and people's hearts, these invisible soft powers, to Daming."

Now Zhu Han's new education content is not only about physics, chemistry and biology.

In Zhu Han's new Confucianism, he also attached great importance to the education of literature and history.

It's just that the content of these subsets of classics and history needs to be screened and reviewed by Zhu Han, and they are mainly used to inspire the national spirit of the Han people.

The Shandong area has been ruled by the Jurchens since the Jingkang disaster in the Northern Song Dynasty, and then by the Mongols.

A good birthplace of Confucian culture has turned into a barbarian ruled area full of smell.

Therefore, we must hurry up and restore the national spirit of China here in Shandong.

After listening to Zhu Han's reasons, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded slightly in agreement.

"The world of the Han family has been troubled by the Mongolian Yuan for a hundred years, and the previous Zhao and Song Dynasties were also rotten, which made China sluggish for hundreds of years. Now it is really necessary to cheer up the spirit of the people in the world!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Since this is the case, then I will leave it to you to carry out the compulsory education in Shandong."

"No problem!" Zhu Han nodded, and continued, "Brother, I have one more thing to tell you."

"You tell me." Old brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"I want to inspect Shandong recently." Zhu Han said.

"What are you going to Shandong to inspect? Isn't there Qixiang there? Besides, it has just been through the war and it is in dilapidated condition. What is there to see?" Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately puzzled.

It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang dislikes Shandong, but that there are many important matters in the imperial court that Zhu Han needs to deal with.

If Zhu Han is allowed to go to Shandong, it will definitely delay a lot of important court affairs.

"Shandong is the land of Confucius and Mencius. Kong Kejian, Duke Yansheng of the Tartars, has gone to most of them to follow the Mongols. Now if we establish the prestige of Ming Dynasty in Shandong, we can knock down the stinky brand of Duke Yansheng by the way. This matter must be done. If I do it myself and others do it, I don’t worry about it.”
-
Zhu Han said very seriously.

Shandong in history experienced the Northern Expedition of the Red Scarf Army Maogui and the Northern Expedition of Xu Da in the Ming Dynasty. Even though the local Mongols had disappeared without a trace, many local tyrants and evil gentry still resisted the Red Scarf Army and the Ming Army. .

These local tyrants and evil gentry in Shandong, as long as they can guarantee their status and property, they don't care what kind of Jurchens Mongols you are.

So now Daming wants to promote the new Confucianism.

Then we have to deal with these bad guys in Shandong smoothly.

Among them, the Confucius family of Yanshenggong, who had a very high reputation in Shandong, needed Zhu Han, the king of the Ming Dynasty, to personally defeat them.

This kind of thing is not suitable for anyone except Zhu Han.

After understanding Zhu Han's intention, elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang immediately agreed with Zhu Han's idea of ​​inspecting Shandong.

"Shandong is adjacent to Dadu in the north, and across the sea from Hu Dahai's troops in southern Liaoning. The location is indeed important. If there is turmoil in the rear, it will really be detrimental to our army's preparations for the Northern Expedition."

Zhu Yuanzhang also attached great importance to Shandong.

"Shandong is related to the success of the Northern Expedition. Since you want to inspect Shandong, we plan to transfer Liu Bowen and others to Shandong to help you!"

"Qiwu, since you plan to make a major rectification in Shandong, without Liu Bowen and the others helping you, we are still a little worried." Old brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"It would be great if people like Liu Bowen were sent to Shandong to help me." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Seventh Five-Year, let Liu Bowen go to Shandong now, in fact, we have another idea." Old brother Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said mysteriously.

"Brother, what do you mean? Why can't I understand." Zhu Han suddenly became confused.

"Now that the Ming Dynasty has established its capital in Jiangnan, and Liu Bowen is from Jiangnan, he has attracted Song Lian and a large number of Jiangsu and Zhejiang celebrities. More than half of the people in the Ming Dynasty Hall are these Jiangsu and Zhejiang celebrities. In the future, their number will increase. Do they have the final say, or our old Zhu family has the final say?"

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said with some worry.

Zhu Han frowned when he heard this.

He has been busy dealing with the military and political affairs of the imperial court recently, and he has not noticed that there are more and more celebrities from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the imperial court.

In the Ming Dynasty in history, this group of celebrities from Jiangsu and Zhejiang did contribute some strength when the Ming Dynasty was founded.

However, in addition to this, for the Ming Dynasty, they did not do less of the things that dragged their feet.

For example, many powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River used the name of Japanese pirates to secretly rob all over the coast.

For another example, some powerful and wealthy businessmen opened a large number of workshops in Jiangnan, but they did not pay a penny of business tax.

Even once the imperial court sent people to collect business taxes, they would encourage and confuse the public, saying that the eunuchs were plundering the people's fat and anointing, and even dared to encourage the people to beat the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court to death in the street, and in the name of killing the eunuchs, For these people, set up a so-called stele of five righteous men.

These scholars in the south of the Yangtze River even formed a Donglin Party. In the name of working for the welfare of the people of the world, they did a bunch of disgusting things like "the water is too cold" and the traitors led the way.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words awakened Zhu Han, and he immediately agreed with him.

"Brother, you are right. Although these celebrities in Jiangnan are obedient now, when they become more and more powerful in the future, I am afraid that they will really form a situation where the tail can't be lost. Indeed, it should start from now , to prevent them from forming a party in the court." Zhu Han said.

"That's right, so we want to send Liu Bowen to Shandong to be the governor of Shandong." Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

Zhu Han nodded, and suddenly he thought of a better idea.

"Brother, we will not only send Liu Bowen to Shandong to be the governor of Shandong, but also select a group of famous people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south of the Yangtze River to serve as censors in Shandong." Zhu Han said with a smirk.

"What is the inspector censor? Daming doesn't have this official position yet, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled, this was the first time he had heard of this official position.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have one, then set up an official position of patrol censor for these famous scholars from Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Zhu Han continued immediately.

"This inspection of the censor is to inspect the handling of cases in various provinces and prefectures in the name of the imperial court."

"Once unjust, false or wrongly decided cases are discovered, they must be reported to the imperial court immediately, and then the imperial court will send special personnel to deal with these unjust, false and wrongly decided cases."

"In this way, the censors have the power to hear the case, but not the power to dispose of the case. In this way, they can be allowed to do things that offend others, and the celebrities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will not form an intertwined force in a province." Zhu Han said.

When the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he immediately praised the case, "Good! Good! This is really a good idea, let these officials check themselves, let their own people offend their own people, and they will never form groups and become cronies again. "

"Moreover, we have to send someone to supervise the censor, so that we can be sure of everything." Zhu Han continued to add.

As for who will supervise the censor, it is naturally Jin Yiwei who is most trusted by the emperor.
