Chapter 288 Open the mouth of the old knowledge system
Emperor Chongzhen had already anticipated the demand for talents.After the news of the factory guard was confirmed, he immediately summoned Sun Yuanhua, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was temporarily acting as Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Xu Guangqi's apprentice, and asked with a smile, "Does Sun Qing know what the teahouse restaurant in the capital is talking about?"

"I don't know." Sun Yuanhua is also a 50-year-old man, but because of his teacher, he suddenly got a high position, and he was a little panicked. He couldn't answer the emperor's question for a while, and his expression was a little flustered.

Emperor Chongzhen saw it above, and he said straight to the point: "There should be a shortage of talents such as shopkeepers and buddies in business. About this, you can go to the street and you will know."

"Your Majesty is holy!" Sun Yuanhua didn't know what the emperor meant, but he thought that the emperor must be right when he said that, so he flattered him a little.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about these things, he looked at Sun Yuanhua and said: "Xu Qing should have mentioned it to Qing before he left. One of his ambitions is to impart new knowledge to the people of Ming Dynasty. Now, the opportunity has come!"

"..." Sun Yuanhua was a little puzzled. He knew about this, but he couldn't figure out what it had to do with the shortage of shopkeepers.Besides, if the court has money, it can also impart new knowledge to the people of Ming Dynasty.What does the so-called opportunity come?
When he didn't understand, he was a little embarrassed, so he bowed, looked at the ground, pretended to listen, and waited for the emperor to finish speaking.

Emperor Chongzhen knew that his train of thought was not something ordinary courtiers could keep up with, so he continued to say slowly: "The Daming Royal Cement Company and the Daming Construction Bank need a lot of manpower, and the recruitment of these manpower must be qualified and the recruitment must be based on merit. There should be no doubt about it!"

This is easy to understand, Sun Yuanhua nodded.But he still didn't understand, what could this have to do with that?

"But there are too many people recruited, and there are probably fewer people who want to be qualified. Even if they can be recruited, the original employers of these people will be short of people. What should we do?" Emperor Chongzhen finally said his opinion. Objective said, "The best way is to train some qualified talents in a short period of time."

Having said that, he picked up a notebook from the imperial case, handed it to the servant beside him, passed it to Sun Yuanhua, and said at the same time: "Here is a set of rules for pinyin annotation. You can read it first, and if you can simplify it Some, or if it can be further optimized, then optimize it, and then mark all Chinese characters according to this, and then distribute it all over the world. Well, you can set up a company under the name of the Ministry of Finance to print dictionaries and sell this. Others If you want to imitate Those who steal printing will be apprehended by the authorities!"

In the original history, pinyin annotation literacy also appeared in the late Ming Dynasty, that is, "Qieyun Shengyuan", but it was not until the end of Chongzhen.At this time, Fang Yizhi, the author of "Qie Yun Sheng Yuan" and later known as one of the four sons of Fushe, was just a young man, and he was doing some cynical things.

Emperor Chongzhen was afraid that Sun Yuanhua would not understand, so he explained again: "Buddies and shopkeepers must be the priority for literacy. With this set of pinyin annotations, as long as you learn the rules and have a dictionary in hand, ambitious people , You should be able to learn by yourself. I believe that some people will learn in order to change their lives."

At this time, Sun Yuanhua had already looked at the things in his hands, but he couldn't understand them very well. Fortunately, after reading them again, there were Chinese characters annotated with pinyin in reverse, so he could know how to read them.Even so, he was still at a loss.

Emperor Chongzhen saw it clearly, and smiled again in his heart: "I have already explained it in the inner book hall, and I will call a servant to explain it to you later. At least in the inner book hall, this set of pinyin annotations is useful, you should pay attention to it." Of."

"My minister obeys the order!" Sun Yuanhua heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.He remembered that the emperor had allowed him to set up a company under the Ministry of Rites just now, and he immediately felt very motivated.This kind of thing, as long as you go back and talk about it, someone will rush to do it.

Emperor Chongzhen picked up another notebook from the imperial case, and asked his servant to show it to Sun Yuanhua, and said at the same time: "This is another piece of arithmetic and financial common sense that I sorted out after reading the Western learning that Xu Qing and you presented. You can take it away, and you can spread it out. Among the recruited buddies and shopkeepers, whoever understands this first will be given priority."

Speaking of this, he paused, thought for a while and said: "You can teach people to the buddies and shopkeepers of the capital, explain these knowledge, and then organize exams. But remember one thing, this kind of teaching is for the sake of winning It is to have more available manpower in a short period of time. It can be carried out in different levels, such as illiterate but able to understand these common senses; literate and able to understand these common senses is the best. A certain fee can be charged to make this activity possible That's it."

This is similar to the training class for future generations.It is purely voluntary. I hope that under the stimulation of economic power, I can use these basic knowledge to open a hole in the old reading system and slowly spread it.

The purpose of Emperor Chongzhen was, of course, to wait until this went on, and when economic conditions permitted and the people of Ming Dynasty changed their minds, they began to promote the so-called miscellaneous studies, compulsory education, and systematic learning from childhood.Otherwise, if there is no such foreshadowing, even if the imperial court has money to promote it directly, there will inevitably be great resistance.After all, in the ideology at this time, scholars still mainly focus on the subset of classics and history, and they have to test stereotyped essays.

Hehe, money can make ghosts turn around!Let's grind it slowly with you with the big economic stick.Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart.Seeing Sun Yuanhua, a supporter of Western learning, holding the things in his hands, although he does not object, but still half-understands, he knows that this matter will not be so easy, but as long as he does it, he will eventually be able to promote the pace of Daming Technology , moving forward slowly.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen did not place any hope on how quickly the Ministry of Rites could get these things done.Therefore, he is already doing it in Neishutang, which is equivalent to walking on two paths together.

After all, in Neishutang, the emperor has absolute authority, and he can let those eunuchs do whatever they want, and no one will complain about it.Neishutang is an excellent experimental field!
Seeing Sun Yuanhua go out of the palace, Emperor Chongzhen stretched his waist, and habitually entered the chat group to have a look between receiving his courtiers.

He saw that there were private chats in the group, so he clicked on the chat mode filter and chose to display only private chats.Immediately, the chat area only displayed the content of the private chat.It took a little more time to check the achievement points, and found that it was Wei Mulan who reported Lu Xiangsheng's battle report to Liu Xingzuo.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being very happy.Yes, Lu Xiangsheng fought very well in the first battle, annihilating a thousand Jian prisoners, while only 21 were killed or injured on his side, and more than 500 were killed or injured by the North Korean volunteers.More importantly, a lot of food has been seized, which can at least alleviate the food problem in the lower Dongjiang River.

Hehe, on the North Korean side, it is a bit like the Anti-Japanese War in later generations.Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly let out an ahh, remembering something.
