One thousand one hundred and eighty-sixth chapter turning point
At this moment, Zhang Ji was indeed extremely embarrassed!
His face turned purple, and if he hadn't been in Xuanshi Hall, he would have hidden his face and left.
But actually, it’s almost the same.
In full public view, he was beaten all over the head by a craftsman in the field of mathematics.
He felt that he no longer had the dignity to live.
But despite being embarrassed, Zhang Ji hated the craftsman in front of him.
He hates it!
I hate why this vulgar craftsman needs to learn so much knowledge!
He hates it!
I hate myself for not being as good as this vulgar craftsman!
He hates it!
I hate myself for why I have to stand out!
Now, everything is finished!
Zhang Ji felt that his future was gloomy and his reputation was ruined.
He couldn't think of any way out except suicide!
At this time, Zhang Ji heard the emperor sitting at the head suddenly say: "Yu Shi Zhongcheng is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable. In addition to his duties as censor, he has dabbled in so much arithmetic knowledge. I am very pleased! "
Liu Che walked down the steps and walked up to Zhang Ji. He put a robe that he was wearing on Zhang Ji, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "I want to join Yao and Shun at the top, and the three kings at the bottom! You should treat me as yours." Guan Zhong is also Zi Chan!"
This made Zhang Ji so moved that he even forgot about the embarrassment and humiliation just now.
What an honor it is for the emperor to personally take off his robe and encourage him!
Except for the ancestor Zhuang Hou, who in the old Zhang family had ever received such favor from the emperor of the Han family?
Not to mention, even his ancestor, Zhuang Hou Zhang Zhan, only personally toasted to Emperor Gao once.
As for taking off one's robes to encourage others, that was the kind of treatment only Fan Kuai, Han Xin, Zhou Bo and Cao Shen had!
"Why is this so..." Zhang Ji burst into tears immediately, thinking about the emperor's words just now, igniting endless fighting spirit in his chest.
Guan Zhong and Zi Chan were sages praised and respected by all schools of thought.
Guan Zhong's works are even the classics and biographies of Confucianism, Legalism, Huang Lao and other schools.
"I must die ten thousand times to repay Your Majesty for your kindness!" Zhang Ji immediately knelt down and cried.
This is also the standard thinking of traditional Chinese literati.
If you treat me like a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman!
Liu Che smiled slightly.
He already has rich experience in dealing with literary youths, scholar-bureaucrats and martial arts idiots.
Because these people are simple, upright, and don't have so many tricks up their sleeves.
Although this post is somewhat pedantic and stubborn.
But it's not hopeless.
The tradition of the old Liu family is to avoid past mistakes and avoid future ones, and to treat illnesses and save lives.
Liu Che knew very well that he needed to maintain governance and maintain stability.
Then we must win over people's hearts.
Not only the emerging classes, but also the old literati and aristocrats also need to be won over and appeased.
What's more, he doesn't have to pay anything.
With a few words of encouragement, a worthless robe can be rewarded with a Censor Zhongcheng, a famous minister in both the government and the public. This kind of deal is such a bargain!
Liu Che smiled slightly, helped Zhang Ji up, and said: "I am very happy that you can speak up and dare to give direct advice. I am even more pleased that you can study mathematics intensively in addition to your duties... If all ministers are like you, Three generations can be expected!”
These words are meant for others to listen to.
Although Liu Che has been advocating that ministers and scholar-bureaucrats learn mathematics together.
There is also a large proportion of mathematics in the examination.
However, many people just cram before the exam. Once they pass the exam, few people continue to play mathematics.
This is also a common problem among Chinese civil servants.
The exam stuff is just a stepping stone.
Now that the door is open, who would study mathematics if there is no need?
After all, even if you achieve good results in mathematics and become a master like Marquis Wen of Peiping, so what?
Is it comparable to a popular poem by a literati?
Mathematics, geometry, etc. were nothing more than a tool for the scholar-bureaucrats to entertain themselves in their spare time and to show off their IQ.
Only the big farmers, the Shaofu and the prime minister's planners would consider these issues and have the opportunity to use these things.
But now, Liu Che has encouraged Zhang Ji to tell people all over the world that being good at mathematics is a bonus here!
Now, Liu Che believed that mathematics would definitely become popular among all schools of thought, both inside and outside the government.
The reason is simple. In China, any project that can add points is extremely popular.
Just like those parents in later generations who sent their children to learn piano, painting or even guzheng and ballet, do their children really think that they have any use for these things?
In fact, 90% of them are useless...
But everyone is still enthusiastic and full of enthusiasm.
There is no other reason. These things can give you extra points...
Another example is Mathematical Olympiads and the like. Most people still don’t have access to these things.
But it's still very hot...
And when it comes to official career specifically, it is even more beneficial if you go up to the top, and it will be effective if you go down below.
The King of Chu had such a thin waist that many people died of starvation in the palace.
Apart from other things, if a local director likes to play table tennis, you will definitely see countless table tennis masters emerge in that department in an instant.
As for the highest wave SS...
A certain generation revealed that he likes football.
Overnight, all kinds of football clubs appeared one after another across the land of China. The local tycoons took their money and smashed the five major European leagues.
If Messiro is willing to go to the Chinese Super League, I'm afraid someone will be willing to pay a sky-high transfer fee and salary!
But the national pig is still a money-giving boy and an entertainer for thousands of years...
This can only be said that the national pigs are all pigs!
If you can't even spend money, what kind of future can you expect from them?
Disbandment is the best!
Today, Liu Che reveals that he favors ministers who have a foundation in mathematics and especially likes to study mathematics.
Liu Che didn't even need to guess. He could see that in the future, the value of already highly sought-after mathematicians would skyrocket again.
Those who are somewhat famous may have to make a lot of money.
But, this is exactly what Liu Che wants.
In Liu Che's view, it doesn't matter that the national pigs are incompetent, and they are not expected anyway.
But a country cannot live without mathematicians.
It is better to use money to throw money at the national pig than to use money to throw money at basic science.
As basic science improves and progresses, the country will also progress.
Of course, Liu Che didn't just want to appease Zhang Ji.
He also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a final decision and end the controversy!
Therefore, he turned around, faced the ministers, and said: "When I was young, I tried to read the masterpieces of Beiping Wenhou, and couldn't put it down. I thought that there are no problems in the world that mathematics cannot solve, and those who can count them have the latitude and latitude of the world!"
This is also a truth recognized by the Han Dynasty in recent years.
If you don’t know math, you will definitely fail in the exam!
Moreover, mathematics is closely related to the Book of Changes.
The Book of Changes is the source of hundreds of schools of thought and the top classic book!
"I want to appoint craftsmen as officials, but all the officials have doubts, and I know it in my heart!" Liu Che paced and said, "However, you don't know my intentions and my internal ambitions, so you have this concern!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers immediately worshiped: "I am ignorant, please teach me!"
‘I don’t know my inner ambition’ is the old Liu family’s unique trick!
What does it mean that the ministers cannot follow the emperor's thoughts at any time?
It means that you understand the spirit of the supreme directive, but you are not careful enough, and you need to review it!
"The people I want to use as officials are all great craftsmen! They are all familiar with the laws of industry and can lead the people to make various tools, encourage people to cultivate people's livelihood, and encourage people to mulberry silkworms!" Liu Che looked at the people and asked: "You think,
Shouldn't such a great craftsman be an official?"
If it hadn't been for these things that started with Lord Sima Ji today, the officials might still be unmoved.
But now, after being educated by Sima Jizhu and his maternal relatives, some craftsmen have come forward to give their own opinions, proving that they are no more stupid than the scholar-bureaucrats.
Liu Che also personally took off his robe and encouraged stubborn people like Zhang Ji.
Of course, the ministers no longer have the strength and confidence to oppose.
If they still oppose and obstruct, what is the difference between this and reckless idiots who do not understand current affairs?
Even if word spreads, I'm afraid the world's public opinion will not sympathize with or recognize them.
On the contrary, they will spurn and despise them!
the reason is simple.
Today's public opinion and thinking are not controlled by one family or one surname, nor are they controlled by a certain faction.
Moreover, the enlightened people of the Mohist and Peasant families, the Huang-Lao sect and the Legalist sect, as well as those tens of thousands of scholars who took examinations, will definitely not stand with them.
Many people will even side with the emperor.
Now, the emperor has given the steps, and also personally made explanations and restrictions.
Everyone thought about it carefully: if they were all famous people like the top masters or Sima Jizhu we saw today, they would be officials.
The big guy has nothing to say.
So, they all worshiped: "Your Majesty is wise, but the ministers are ignorant and do not uphold justice. Please atone for your sins!"
Liu Che then returned to his throne, looked at Zhang Ji, and asked: "I will give an order to appoint the famous master craftsmen from all the counties and counties in the world as officials of Luban, and encourage the people to make tools to facilitate farming. Can the imperial censor Zhongcheng accept the order?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ji bowed his head and worshiped sincerely: "I obey the imperial edict!"
"Doctor Yushi!"
Chao Cuo heard this and went out to worship: "I obey the imperial edict!"
"Prime Minister!"
Zhou Yafu also came out to pay homage: "I obey the imperial edict!"
Liu Che finally showed a satisfied smile, stood up, and said to Ji An: "Please ask the minister to record the edict, send it to the censor, and the censor will promulgate it to the world!"
"No!" Ji An quickly bowed.
Liu Che, however, was sitting on the throne, looking at the ministers, with a lot of emotions in his heart: It's not easy!
In fact, he spent seven years laying the groundwork for today.
Ever since Zhang Cang presented those books and works to him, he has been digging holes.
All previous examinations were based on subtle influences and tests.
Later, with the promulgation of Ping Lv and Gong Lv, he expelled many dissidents and corrected many people's three views.
Today, after all the hard work, I finally got what I wanted.
The road for craftsmen to become officials has been opened.
Although he was just a 600-stone Luban official in a county, his power was only to supervise and encourage people to use new farm tools and promote various equipment.
However, this will definitely be a turning point with far-reaching consequences.
From then on, craftsmen also gained a path for advancement and advancement.
Moreover, it is not necessary to go to school or join the army.
All it takes is technology and strength.
This is important!
This will definitely give birth to a technocrat and even a scientist, physicist, chemist, medical scientist and mathematician who will go down in history! (To be continued.)
