And this requires Ming Dynasty to have more talents in the study of physics. However, this cannot be achieved overnight.
At present, two-thirds of the young people in the Ming Dynasty have chosen to study physics, and only about one-third continue to insist on taking the imperial examination.
But even so, Emperor Chongzhen still felt that there was a serious shortage of talents in the field of physical studies!
However, he also knew that it was useless to rush this matter. Even when there were electric lights, night classes were already held, so what else could be done?
The quantity and quality of talents in geophysics can only be determined by the accumulation of time.
As far as today's Ming Dynasty is concerned, among the younger generation, those who are physically strong join the army, those with superior intelligence are engaged in physical studies and imperial examinations, and the rest can go to the vassal state to live like a fool.
It can be said that there has never been a dynasty where the people were as useful as the Ming Dynasty!
In the writings of literati at this time, the rule of Zhenguan, the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, etc., are just trivial things. How can they be compared with the prosperous age of Chongzhen?
And all of this is the result of science and technology, in other words, it is the contribution of geological sciences! Otherwise, most people in the Ming Dynasty, including men and women, would not have applied for the special scientific examination of geological sciences.
This time, after giving the civil and military officials below something to look forward to, Emperor Chongzhen sent them back to work. He himself sent the video to Liu Weichao, and then initiated the video communication.
To his surprise, Liu Weichao did not answer his video call. Instead, Emperor Chongzhen thought Liu Weichao was busy, so he hung up the video call and was about to go work on his own, when Liu Weichao initiated a video call for him.
After the call was connected, Emperor Chongzhen noticed that Liu Weichao's face looked a little ugly. He was moved in his heart and asked quickly: "What's wrong, are those traitors still causing trouble for you?"
Originally, he was going to talk to Liu Weichao about how useful this rubber was. So far, many uses have been developed based on the information provided by Liu Weichao.
For the Ming Dynasty at this time, the demand for this rubber was huge. It was foreseeable that Qiongzhou and Dongfan alone would not have enough production capacity in the near future. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen planned to let Annan, Dongwu and other Ming Dynasty
Rubber trees were also planted in the directly-administered areas, as well as in Zhou and other vassal states.
He felt a little emotional, thanks to the fact that he had sent Zheng Zhibao to South America after the country had become somewhat stable, and successfully obtained precious materials such as rubber trees and cinchona trees.
Otherwise, by the time you want to use it, it will be too late!
However, after seeing Liu Weichao's unsightly expression, he stopped expressing these emotions and turned to care about Liu Weichao.
Liu Weichao also talked with him. In the past few years, he began to publish papers introducing the achievements of ancient China, mainly based on the "Yongle Baodian" as evidence, and then looking for other supporting evidence. However, many people refuted him, attacked him, and even spread rumors.
slander him.
In the past few years, Liu Weichao has spent a lot of energy on dealing with these things.
At this time, Liu Weichao saw Emperor Chongzhen's concern, so he changed his mood, showed a smile and said: "I stepped on the dog's tail, so everyone came to besiege me!"
"Huh?" Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand what he said for a moment.
Liu Weichao adjusted his mentality and explained to Emperor Chongzhen: "You don't know that in my dimension, after a hundred years of humiliation, many people's bones have become soft. And then at the beginning, they envied the prosperity outside, and they even became dissatisfied.
It's leaking out. Whether the dog owners give them bones to lick, they keep talking for their owners!"
"Have I not been promoting Chinese civilization in the past few years? They don't want to see that their motherland is more powerful than their masters, so they keep dancing! There are also some so-called modern poems that I have read from
As soon as the various poems you brought there were impacted, I became angry and angry, and they all came towards me!"
Having said this, Liu Weichao sneered and said: "I have to adjust my mentality in the future. The more they cheer, it means that I am doing the right thing. I will take out one million later and hold a nationwide event with Xin Qiji as my example."
I like his poems about the paintings on the theme. After the winning works come out, you can ask your side to compose the poems and then publish them online!"
"Then I will use another two million to organize historical and cultural knowledge competitions and broadcast them online to attract young people to participate in the competitions!"
"Take another one million to hold a calligraphy competition. Later, you will help to evaluate the rankings and give some pointers by the way!"
"Take another one million to hold a Chinese musical instrument performance competition, and just send your works..."
"..."
Being rich means being willful. Liu Weichao talked about five or six projects in one breath, and the direct bonus was almost 10 million, all related to Chinese culture.
In the era of the Internet, the cost of holding this kind of competition has been reduced a lot. Not to mention, calligraphy, painting, music, etc. can be directly sent to the competition through the Internet, which saves costs even more.
To be honest, the most expensive thing is actually the cost of publicity.
However, Liu Weichao's company has its own video account and online store. He has also published so many papers on Ming Dynasty culture and has been attacked by well-known experts. His popularity and attention are definitely sufficient.
Liu Weichao said later: "These are just appetizers. After these competitions are completed, I will look back and sum up. I will continue to spend money so that everyone can pay attention to Chinese culture and discuss Chinese history. I believe that the people's
His eyes are sharp. In the past, the right to speak was in the hands of those well-known intellectuals, but now they can no longer speak!"
Emperor Chongzhen listened silently, without much thought. He was not very concerned about these matters, and Liu Weichao was not short of money anyway.
If Liu Weichao really cares about what he is doing now, he actually does.
Liu Weichao mostly chose Tang poetry and Song lyrics, and there was nothing about the Ming Dynasty without him, which made him a little worried.
He actually asked about it before. However, Liu Weichao told him that the Ming Dynasty was most famous for its novels.
However, at the time of Liu Weichao, most people no longer read Ming Dynasty novels. Not only were they incomprehensible, but their excitement was far surpassed by Liu Weichao's online novels.
However, there are many novels that have been recreated based on Ming Dynasty novels. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Jin Ping Mei", "Journey to the West" and so on.
At this time, after listening to Liu Weichao's words, based on his experience, he reminded Liu Weichao: "The more you do this, the more they will be attracted to attack you. Be careful that they will jump over the wall and use any means to attack you!"
Rumors and slander had been spread before, and Emperor Chongzhen estimated that more Liu Weichao's opponents would join such ranks, and might even use more extreme means than this.
"Haha, I'm afraid of them!" Liu Weichao heard this and said indifferently, "God has given me this wealth. If I don't fight with them, I won't be a human being!"
After saying this, he finally came to his senses and asked Emperor Chongzhen: "How are you doing over there?"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen replied: "The Battle of the Ganges against the Mughal Empire has just started, but there is not much fighting in other aspects. Over in the Western Regions, Luntai's material storage area is almost there, and there are already vanguards there.
Contact between the Volga River Basin and the Torgut tribe. By next year, the cavalry stationed in the Western Region will be able to advance on a large scale..."
Listening to his introduction, Liu Weichao was not surprised. After all, they had been communicating all along, and he also understood the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty's army, it is not difficult to defeat the enemy.
At this time, after hearing Emperor Chongzhen's story, Liu Weichao said to him: "Then I will collect the terrain and climate data from the Western Region to the Volga River for you, as well as the Mughal Empire, and I will also collect it for you.
!”
For the Ming Dynasty's army at this time, the biggest enemy was actually not the enemy's army, but nature.
The information Liu Weichao collected for Emperor Chongzhen was not very comprehensive. After all, he was only a human being, and he could only get some if he had money.
For example, the terrain of some foreign countries may have changed after more than 400 years of changes. Also, the climate of 400 years ago cannot be easily restored.
Therefore, Liu Weichao could only find some and give some to others.
Emperor Chongzhen was not polite to Liu Weichao. After all, they had been cooperating for many years. He said to Liu Weichao: "By the way, I can give you the most original aircraft information about your side. I have the first one here."
The car is coming, no problem, it’s time to build the first Ming Dynasty aircraft!”
The most primitive airplane, the most important thing is the internal combustion engine. With rubber, the efficiency of the internal combustion engine has been improved. The success of the automobile gave him confidence.
Liu Weichao listened and immediately nodded in agreement. Metal smelting in the Ming Dynasty had been scientifically guided for several years, and alloys and other experiments were also being tested. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to do it, so of course he had no objection.
After the two chatted for a while, they hung up the video communication.
……………………
While Emperor Chongzhen was not very concerned about the Ganges War, or to be precise, he was not very worried, the emperor of the Mughal Empire, Shah Jahan, who was known as the ruler of the world, was extremely anxious.
He never expected that if his second son Shashuja was defeated, he would be defeated. However, his eldest son Darashuke was also completely defeated, which really shocked him.
Originally, he was thinking of using Dara Shuko to win a big battle to contain Aurangzeb. Now it was better, Aurangzeb was coming soon, and the news of Dara Shuko's defeat also came back. What is this called?
