The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 498 The Greatest Core

Beijing.

Outside Fengtian Hall in Bauhinia City, on the right is Chunhe Palace, which was originally the prince's bedroom. Now it was assigned to Zhu Gaochi and turned into the emperor's grandson's bedroom.

The south gate of Chunhe Palace is the area of ​​Wenhua Palace, which saved Zhu Gaochi a lot of time.

The company and home are next to each other, which is the dream of many migrant workers in future generations.

Guo Cailian is pregnant again.

Zhu Gaochi got up early and had breakfast with Guo Cailian.

Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's rules and regulations, the food in the palace was frugal, and Zhu Gaochi was not a person who liked extravagance.

So the young couple gathered around the small dining table. On the table were porridge, egg soup, tofu curd, bean juice, pickles, and steamed buns.

My one-and-a-half-year-old son has already started eating solid food.

Zhu Gaochi finished drinking the tofu nao.

"I won't go ask Concubine An today. You take Zhan'er with you." Zhu Gaochi explained.

Although the wife has changed, the son she gave birth to will definitely be different.

But the name Zhu Yuanzhang chose was finally called Zhu Zhanji. Zhu Gaochi had no objection, it was just a name.

In his previous life, his child was not named by him, but by his father-in-law.

It was poor then.

He was a poor boy, he didn't have anything he wanted, and his salary was so low that later he often wondered why such a good wife was willing to endure hardships with him in the first place.

Hearing that the bride price was only [-] yuan, the poor boy still felt embarrassed because his family was too poor and could not even afford [-] yuan.

Finally, I managed to take it out. Unexpectedly, my father-in-law and his family paid back [-] yuan.

Give money to buy a house, help take care of children.

Oil, rice and vegetables are kept every month.

The father-in-law’s family is hard-working and can eat everything from eels to lobsters, hens to eggs every year.

what is this.

This is what the previous generation expected.

The next generation will work hard and do the same for the next generation.

Relay from generation to generation, passing on the spirit.

From villages to small cities, from small cities to big cities, creating a better environment for future generations is the core of the Chinese nation.

That’s why even in the primeval forests of the Amazon, there are Chinese people selling instant noodles.

So wherever there are Chinese people, the Chinese can become local wealthy households.

This is the greatness of Chinese civilization.

A complete set of inheritance.

From ancestor worship to incense, from incense to the traditional social ethics of raising children.

It is a great civilization that is completely different from the Western idea that life is given by God and the Indian idea of ​​reincarnation of life.

Seeing that the child was full, Guo Cailian said worriedly: "Zhu Zhanji will be two years old in a few months. Can he study?"

"what."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but laugh. This was the nervous and expectant mood of a first-time mother, which was understandable.

"Such a young child has not grown up yet. What can he learn? It is important to raise him well and grow up safely."

Guo Cailian just asked.

She never thought that this day would come to pass. Thinking of her child's identity, she couldn't rest in peace, for fear that her child would not be successful in the future.

"Even if he recognizes a few words, Grandpa Huang will be happy."

"I'm just afraid that Grandpa Huang will be angry."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person who knows nothing, so how can he not know how to educate children.

One-year-old children can already read books, but each child's talent is different. It is best to grow naturally, otherwise it will be contrary to the wishes of others.

"Grandpa Huang is happy when I am here."

Zhu Gaochi said proudly.

Compared with Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Gaochi can confidently say that he is ten times better than Zhu Yunwen.

Guo Cailian was amused by Zhu Gaochi's appearance.

She had no doubts.

Grandpa Huang did not agree to the cabinet requested by his father-in-law. However, Grandpa Huang agreed to his husband's request to establish a cabinet.

The mother-in-law said it was the grandfather who loved his grandson.

"Grandpa Huang does love you." Guo Cailian smiled.

Zhu Gaochi didn't care.

In fact, this is the inevitable outcome of things. No one can be as energetic as Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang is a very human being.

The Ming Dynasty was so big that it needed a cabinet.

Moreover, the power of the cabinet will become larger and larger, which is the natural way of development of things, unless we adopt a defensive mentality instead of a mentality of governing the country.

Come out of Chunhe Palace, leave Chunhe Gate, go forward along the straight road, then go to the right, and soon you will arrive at Wenhua Palace.

The cabinet is the new government office that helps the emperor's grandson manage the government, so the public housing is also in the Wenhua Hall.

In addition to Xie Jin, there were several knowledgeable and talented people who knew the country's government affairs. It was also out of this consideration that Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to establish a cabinet.

Zhu Di and his son did not come up on the right path and had not experienced systematic training, especially Zhu Gaochi.

After all, Zhu Di was trained by Zhu Yuanzhang for two years, unlike Zhu Gaochi.

The cabinet needs to assist the emperor's grandson.

So Xie Jin went to the Ministry of Rites early in the morning.

Not only the Ministry of Rites, but also the entire six departments were replaced. Zhu Di personally promoted him. With the support of Zhu Yuanzhang, he began to establish a new line of princes.Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, and Zhang Fu from the Ministry of Education in Peking and others are discussing the latest version of the primary school textbook.

"It can be said that the teaching materials are changed every two years."

The person from Peiping sighed.

Since the rise of new schools in Peking, the emphasis on teaching materials has not been relaxed, and they have been revised several times.

"The educational purpose proposed by Peking University is very good. The school is a place to cultivate talents. Since it is to cultivate talents, it must integrate the latest knowledge of society."

Zhang Fu smiled and said: "Since the Ming Dynasty promoted industrialization, scale has become the industry norm, and scale has made great strides in the development of all walks of life. Naturally, school teaching materials also need to be constantly updated."

Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, did not make any pretense.

He is not a veteran.

The seniority is all from the line of the former prince and the line of the empress and grandson. Now, those who have been promoted to others have been promoted to others, and those who have been dismissed have been dismissed.

New kings and new ministers, no one should talk about seniority.

Lu Zhen was looking at the new edition of primary school textbooks from first grade to sixth grade with great interest.

“The first schools were four-year schools.”

"Later I found that most of the children of workers go to school. Considering the working hours of workers, I proposed to change the primary school period to six years and let the children enter school in advance to reduce the burden on adults."

The manager from the Ministry of Education explained the reason in great detail.

From the completion of the school to every change, the reasons for the changes were clearly explained to the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

One of the functions of the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the school.

The Ministry of Education in Peiping will work with the Ministry of Rites, which will be of great benefit to both parties and avoid internal friction.

The Ministry of Education was wary of the power of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was wary of the fact that the Ministry of Education was a direct descendant of the emperor's grandson. Neither party wanted to cause a conflict.

“In primary schools and middle schools, teaching was very harsh at first. After reform, it became people-oriented, cultivating students’ comprehensive qualities and abilities, and fully grasping social rules. Science courses were gradually reduced, and social practice courses were added, as well as the cultivation of spiritual civilization. .”

Xie Jin was also looking through the textbook.

As a cabinet minister, education is one of the things that the Emperor Taisun attaches most importance to, so he will definitely consult himself.

In order to answer the question of the emperor's grandson, in addition to understanding traditional government schools and county schools, we also need to understand new schools.

"New schools are not much different from government schools, they are just more standardized."

Xie Jin put forward his concept.

The so-called study tour, isn't it just the study tour for scholars from the government?

Scholars do not study behind closed doors.

Going out to make friends is also an important step, and traveling a thousand miles is worse than reading thousands of books. Ancient education encouraged scholars to go out more often and grow from society, rather than just studying.

same.

The new school has various activities and arranges outings for students to learn about all aspects of society.

It's just that the new schools have deep pockets, and students are arranged by the schools, instead of traditional private schools, which require students to bear their own expenses.

Essentially, the difference is productivity.

In ancient times, when productivity was low, governments and schools could not afford it. In later generations, when productivity increased, schools could afford it.

Zhang Fu did not refute, and said with a smile: "It does incorporate the teaching philosophy of Fu Xue, and progress step by step."

Reading in ancient times naturally progressed from the shallower to the deeper, with a complete set of reading logic.

The same is certainly true of new schools.

From simple to complex, everything remains the same.

Zhang Fu pointed out the example of math and science classes: "The math in the first grade of primary school is simple. You only need to learn addition, subtraction, and graphics."

Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, opened the textbook for the first grade of elementary school and happened to find a triangular page.

The above not only talks about the definition of triangle, but also points out the source.

"The triangle was proposed by our ancestor Zhu Shijie."

"In the dark ages, when the north and the south were divided, and later the Southern Song Dynasty died out, our ancestor Zhu Shijie traveled to the south and discussed knowledge with southern scholars, leaving behind a lot of valuable knowledge, including not only the theory of triangles, but also optimized formulas for daily use. "

Lu Zhen turned to the next chapter, and sure enough he came to the algorithm formula.

From second grade units of length to multiplication and division, in addition to theoretical formulas, there are also names and deeds of the inventors.

For example, the preliminary understanding of fractions begins in third grade.

"Fractions were born during the Spring and Autumn Period of the ancestors. There are written records. For example, "Zuo Zhuan" stipulated the size of the capitals of princes: the largest should not exceed one-third of the capital of Zhou Wen Kingdom, the medium should not exceed one-fifth, and the small should not More than one in nine.”

"The calendar in the Qin Shihuang era stipulates that the number of days in a year is 360 five and a quarter. This fully illustrates the importance of mathematics. Fractions appeared very early in our dynasty and were used in social production and life."

After Lu Zhen read it, he didn't find anything shocking, but it felt more serious.

Prefectural and county schools also have to learn mathematics.

But Zhu Gaochi would say that this is a great achievement of Chinese civilization.

Because of decimals.

The West only emerged in the seventeenth century.

The greatness of the Chinese civilization is not just words, but it is what it is. Before the period of ignorance 300 years ago, the Chinese civilization was the greatest in the world.

It is precisely because of this rich reserve of knowledge that ancient Chinese society has experienced countless technological developments and advents.

There is nothing to be afraid of if you are lagging behind. If you are lagging behind, you should strive to develop and catch up.

The spiritual core of Chinese civilization determines that this nation will not be willing to fall behind, because the previous generation must create a better environment for the next generation.

But you cannot feel inferior if you are lagging behind.

If you feel inferior, you will lose your enterprising spirit.

Xie Jin learned about the new version of the textbook and had a preliminary understanding of the new school before returning to Wenhua Hall.

at this time.

Zhu Gaochi was having a headache.

The population strategy he formulated in Peiping seems to be going bankrupt.
