Daming: Brother, the monks have no future, let’s rebel. Text Volume Chapter 141: Compulsory Education in the Ming Dynasty, Overthrowing the Confucius Family of Yanshenggong [New January, please vote!!!] “Uncle, today I was treated by Mr.

He praised me and said that I am particularly talented in chemistry!" Li Wenzhong said with a proud face.

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

"Sir said you have a talent for chemistry, so how do you have talent in chemistry?" Zhu Han asked immediately with a smile.

The chemistry teacher at the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty was not an ordinary person, but the famous Tao Guangyi of Ten Thousand Households.

As the first person in 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 developed hot-air balloons. Not long ago, he made Wanhu cans, giving the people of the Ming Dynasty an excellent new way to preserve food.

For Wanhu Tao Guangyi, he can be said to have gained both in name and in name, and is far more than an ordinary Taixue professor.

Therefore, if such a powerful Tao Guangyi from ten thousand households could praise Li Wenzhong as a talented person in chemistry, then Li Wenzhong must have his own uniqueness.

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

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

Li Wenzhong proudly said that he had just improved a gunpowder formula in the chemistry class experiment. It was this thing that made Li Wenzhong gain Tao Guangyi's approval.

"Yes, yes, the army after the Ming Dynasty will use muskets and artillery to conquer the world. With your skills, you can create more powerful firearms for the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Han encouraged Li Wenzhong with a smile.

"Don't worry, little uncle, I will 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 also received praise from Mr. Tao today!"

"Wenzheng, tell me how your husband praised you?" Zhu Han looked at Zhu Wenzheng and smiled.

"My teacher gave us homework in today's physics class, and I was the first to answer it!" Zhu Wenzheng also said with a proud face.

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

Wanhu Tao Guangyi is the current leading technical leader in the Ming Dynasty. Courses such as physics and chemistry need to be taught by him personally.

After all, Zhu Wenzheng, Li Wenzhong and other relatives of the Ming Emperor were not allowed to be sloppy in their classes.

"The homework assigned to us by the teacher is to calculate the length of the earth based on the shadow of the sun." Zhu Wenzheng said with a proud face.

"What? The length of the earth? The world is so big that it should have no edges or edges. How can it be possible to calculate the length of the earth?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang looked shocked.

"Haha, brother, you are wrong about this. Wen Zheng is right. The length of the earth can be measured." Zhu Han explained to his brother.

Tao Guangyi of thousands of households surrounded Zhu Han almost every day, so he naturally accepted the theory that the sky was round and the earth was round, and he abandoned the original idea of ​​a round sky and a round place.

According to the theory of heaven and earth provided by Zhu Han, the earth is a ball. Since it is a ball, 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, "Nephew, tell us quickly, what is the length of this earth? How did you calculate it?"

"Uncle, I calculated that the length of this land is 80,000 miles!"

Zhu Wenzheng then took out a stack of straw paper from his arms and wrote on it his calculation process based on the shadow of the sun.

That is, based on trigonometric functions, the angle between the earth and the sun can be calculated, and finally it is the circumference of the earth.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately had a clear understanding of the concept that the length of the earth was 80,000 miles.

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

"Okay! That's great. Our old Zhu family has produced a world-famous university student." Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.

Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong are both just over ten years old now, just ten years older than Prince Zhu Biao.

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

Zhu Yuanzhang once again tested the two of them on other subjects.

Both Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong were relatively intelligent, and they studied hard and studied hard. After passing the test, their 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 your Uncle Ying Wang just got from the Japanese country. From now on, you will behave well and open up more land and develop more gold and silver for the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Yuanzhang has also fully realized the benefits brought by the new Confucianism. Children as young as Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong can already possess powerful talents after simple study.

If they were given more time to cultivate, by the time Li Wenzhong and the others were in their twenties, they would all be pillars of the Ming Dynasty.

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

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

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

"Then the Ming Dynasty can only count on their pillars of talent!" Zhu Han continued.

"He is indeed a pillar of talent! The future of Ming Dynasty depends on children like Wenzheng and Wenzhong." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.

"Brother, it would be great if you have this idea. These are just two children. If all the children in the world can learn these new Confucian learnings like these two, then how powerful our Ming Dynasty will be in the future.

?" Zhu Han said with a smile.

Having already said this, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not understand Zhu Han's thoughts?

"Qiwu, we know you must be talking about compulsory education, right?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Yes, that's what I want to say."

Zhu Han had already thought carefully about promoting compulsory education in the Ming Dynasty many times, but this matter would cost a lot and was not just a Yingtianfu matter.

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

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

Even the cost of setting up more than a thousand schools would amount to several years of Ming Dynasty taxes.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always followed Zhu Hanyan's advice, had been hesitant about promoting compulsory education and had not yet agreed.

Now that Zhu Han mentioned this matter again, brother Zhu Yuanzhang still had a headache.

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

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

"In addition, Xu Da has just pacified Guanzhong in the north. We still need to prepare food, grass and military pay in order to regain the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture and Liaodong in the future."

"I really can't spare so much money to go to this compulsory education."

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang feels that Zhu Han's matter can only be temporarily relieved.

"Brother, what you said makes sense."

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

"Then let's not engage in compulsory education for the time being!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

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

However, recently, the Ming Dynasty has conquered more and more territories, and there are more and more places where money needs to be spent, so it instantly felt like it was short of money, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has been afraid of poverty since he was a child, always feels that he has food in his hands, so he doesn't panic in his heart.

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

"Brother, we don't have enough manpower or money right now. I thought about it and let's start with Yingtian Prefecture and Shandong Province, one in the south and one in the north as the two pilot areas."

"That's not a problem! Let's start with two pilot projects. We think this is reliable. After all, it won't cost much money." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, and then asked Zhu Han again.

"Qiwu, after all, Yingtian Mansion is the capital of our Ming Dynasty. Why should the north start from Shandong Province? Huaixi is our hometown, one for Yingtian and one for Huaixi. This is the best! What do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who cares about family and nostalgia very much. For Zhu Yuanzhang, Haozhou is his hometown, and he cares deeply about the customs and customs there. Compulsory education is a very good thing for future generations. Naturally, he thinks about it first.

Take care of your fellow villagers.

Zhu Han shook his head and said, "Brother, Huaixi is now full of the founding fathers of our Ming Dynasty. Almost every household has relatives who are officials or soldiers in the court. It is not as bad as before. Whose children still study

I can’t afford a book.”

"But Shandong is different. It was ruled by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the local people's lives were very difficult. If we can establish compulsory education there, we will definitely be able to win the support of a large number of people. Regarding the future northern expedition to Dadu, then

But the benefits are endless.”

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

"Moreover, Shandong has been ruled by the Mongolian and Yuan Jin Jurchens for many years. We must quickly gather the local cultural and educational people's hearts and minds, these invisible soft powers, to the Ming Dynasty."

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

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

However, the content of these subsets of classics and histories needed to be screened and reviewed by Zhu Han, and they were mainly used to inspire the national spirit of the Han people.

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

What was once the birthplace of Confucian culture turned into a barbarian-dominated area full of fishy smell.

Therefore, we must seize the time to restore the Chinese national spirit here in Shandong first.

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

"The Han Dynasty has been in chaos for hundreds of years due to the Meng Yuan Dynasty. The Zhao and Song dynasties were also in a state of decay, which made China sluggish for hundreds of years. Now we really need to cheer up the spirit of the people in the world!" said my brother Zhu Yuanzhang.
