My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 902 Seven Years (Part )

"No, you go back and tell the envoys that they can send international students to study in our university!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly shook his head and said.

"But……"

Zheng Li was also shocked when he heard Zhu Zhanhe's words. Obviously he was unwilling to let the advanced technology and knowledge of the Han Dynasty leak out, but he was interrupted by Zhu Zhanhe with a wave of his hand as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I know you are worried, but no matter how powerful we are, we cannot destroy all the countries in the world, so we must learn to coexist with them. Allowing them to come to study abroad is also a way to expand our influence. s method."

Zhu Zhanhe paused for a moment when he said this, then curled up his lips and smiled.

"In addition, some modifications can be made to the courses for these international students, such as focusing on the Four Books and Five Classics. As for subjects such as mathematics and physics, they can be touched on a little bit, but they should not be taught too deeply."

"Your Highness, I understand!"

Zheng Li was also a smart man, he knew everything at first glance, and he immediately said excitedly.

Even though Zheng Li was a Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty, after he came to Han Dynasty, he saw with his own eyes the huge changes brought by various new inventions and new technologies to Han Dynasty. Therefore, he knew very clearly that the strength of Han Dynasty did not come from Confucianism. The Four Books and Five Classics are instead miscellaneous studies that Confucians look down upon.

Now Zhu Zhanhe agreed to let all countries send students, but he mainly taught them the Four Books and Five Classics. You must know that there are so many Confucian books. If you really want to learn, I am afraid that you will not be able to finish them in your lifetime, so I am short. In just a few years, those students would not be able to learn anything at all.

However, Zhu Zhanhe is not as optimistic as Zheng Li, because he knows that as long as those international students are allowed in, even if there are obstacles in the course for them, as long as they are determined to learn, they can still learn something from the big guys. This is fundamental. Unavoidable.

But as Zhu Zhanhe said, it is impossible for the Han Dynasty to destroy all countries, let alone all foreign races. For example, those Tianzhu natives in the Han Dynasty have tried it before, but no matter how docile the Tianzhu natives are, , when the butcher's knife falls on their heads, they will also resist.

No matter how weak the natives are, when they reach a certain number, the resistance will be very strong. Therefore, in order to avoid civil strife, Zhu Zhanhe sent the natives of Tianzhu to Africa or America to at least give them a way to survive.

It is so difficult to eliminate even the natives in the country, let alone so many countries and nations outside. You must know that in later generations, those ruthless white-skinned bandits wanted to launch genocide wars more than once. As a result, even the Indians They couldn't wipe out the primitive natives like humans who couldn't even make iron tools, let alone those races that already had countries and civilizations.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe knew very well that even if the Han Dynasty had the most advanced technology of this era, it would not be difficult to colonize the world, but it was simply unrealistic to destroy all alien races, so he could only find ways to coexist with these alien races.

But there are many ways to coexist, and enslaving and dominating foreign races is also a type of coexistence. To achieve this, it is not enough to rely solely on the hard power of the Han Dynasty. The soft power also needs to keep up, so let those foreigners come to the Han Dynasty. It is imperative to study. As long as they go to school in the Han Dynasty, they will inevitably accept some ideas passed on to them by the Han Dynasty.

Just like the empire that was known as the beacon of democracy in later generations, it obviously committed murder, arson, and bad things, but it couldn't stand up to the propaganda. Many people who went to study abroad were brainwashed and really thought it was some kind of beacon of democracy and freedom.

"Your Highness, if the students sent by the Ming Dynasty or America are the same as those from other countries?" At this time, Zheng Li suddenly asked Zhu Zhanhe another question.

In recent years, Empress Dowager Zhang has presided over the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty and took the initiative to improve relations with the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the relationship between the two countries is now quite close. The Han Dynasty also helped the Ming Dynasty build a railway from Beijing to Tianjin. This railway was opened to traffic two years ago, and It was highly praised by everyone in the Ming Dynasty, and was even considered to be one of the main political achievements of Empress Dowager Zhang when she was in power.

As for the Americas Zheng Li refers to, he actually refers to Zhu Zhanhe’s two younger brothers, namely Zhu Zhanqi and Zhu Zhanhe, and his cousin Zhu Zhanhe. The three of them have already established a country in America, although they are only It occupies a small area of ​​America, but has considerable development potential.

Among them, Zhu Zhanqi and Zhu Zhanluo also had close ties with the Han Dynasty. Many people in their country moved there from the Han Dynasty.

"This one……"

Zhu Zhanhe pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said.

"The Ming Dynasty and the Americas are different from other countries. After all, we all come from the same origin. If they send students in the future, just treat them as students of the Han Dynasty!"

"Yes!"

Zheng Li was not surprised by Zhu Zhanhe's answer. After all, he had been an official under Zhu Zhanhe for many years and had already figured out the character of the Crown Prince.

After finishing the business talk, Zhu Zhanhe saw that there were still many people waiting downstairs in the library, so he became interested, put on casual clothes and went downstairs, and then walked around the floors of the library.

Between rows and rows of bookshelves, people were everywhere reading books, mainly young people and children. After all, these people are the main people receiving education, and they are also the people most interested in books.

Zhu Zhanhe walked around the library. Every reading room was almost full of people reading books. This made him very happy. In this era without mobile phones and computers, books are undoubtedly the easiest way for people to obtain knowledge. way.

What makes Zhu Zhanhe even more gratified is that among these readers, some women have already appeared. The girls' school founded by Helen has expanded several times in size with her efforts, and there are more students every year. Many women from the capital went to study.

Even the earliest female students have been admitted to universities. For example, Xijing University has a dedicated women’s college. Although the number of students in the women’s college is not large, only about one-tenth of the men, it is still a good place. Start.

Even Zhu Zhanhe is already planning that in about ten years time, the era of co-educational education for men and women will begin in universities. After all, the current society of Han Dynasty is quite enlightened. Many women are engaged in business or work and are no longer trapped in the family. , this kind of situation will never be seen in Daming.

In the evening, Zhu Zhanhe returned to the palace. After dinner, he came to the Wenhua Hall to handle some government affairs.

But at this moment, Liu Ke suddenly came in quickly to report: "Your Highness, Ming Dynasty is reporting urgently that Empress Dowager Zhang is seriously ill and may die soon!"
