"The next thing we need to focus on is power generation. Since magnetic energy can generate electricity, why don't we think about how to generate electricity and how to keep the electricity in a high-voltage state? If we want to lay wired telegraphs in the future, we will need higher voltages, and batteries are not enough."
Zhu Youjian poured a basin of cold water on the heads of the excited Yuan Keli and others.
Yuan Ke immediately nodded.
Under the influence of the emperor, these auxiliary ministers also taught themselves some current fashionable theoretical knowledge of natural science.
Understand concepts such as voltage and electromagnetism.
Of course, they don't know how to do it specifically. Song Yingxing and others are still standing behind Zhu Youxiao at this moment.
From Xu Guangqi to Bi Maokang to Song Yingxing, Li Zhizao, Li Tianwen and other Ming scholar-bureaucrats who are fond of natural science research, from the first year of Tianqi to the present, they have constructed a relatively systematic theoretical framework of natural science through various experimental studies and hypothesis demonstrations.
Many of them are even theories that have not appeared in other countries in the world.
However, Ming Dynasty has not yet established science and engineering universities focusing on natural science research and education.
Even now, the Ming Academy of Sciences has a relatively complete natural science theory, with a theoretical framework in mathematics, physics, chemistry and even biology.
It’s just that the current education in the Ming Dynasty is mainly based on Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism education, and the purpose of most people studying is to master the eight-part essay proficiently and obtain fame in the examination.
Let alone studying natural sciences, I don’t even have much enthusiasm for studying my own Neo-Confucianism.
Therefore, Ming Dynasty still lacks talents in natural science.
It still depends entirely on some scholar-officials who are interested in this aspect to support the natural scientific research of the entire empire.
As a result, Ming Dynasty currently does not even have enough talents to study natural sciences, so it is naturally impossible to talk about talents engaged in natural science education.
However, Zhu Youxiao has already begun to take advantage of the current education system in Ming Dynasty, and there will be a national natural science education in the future.
Of course there is resistance.
But Zhu Youxiao believes that this is a general trend and no one can stop it.
An empire that has embarked on industrialization needs to abandon an education that only favors Confucianism.
Instead of waiting to be abandoned by Confucianism.
Because history has proven that when Confucian scholar-bureaucrats started to engage in industry, they would irreversibly have to engage in new education.
"The emperor's intention is far-reaching, and he intends to replace the current Confucian education with a new type of education, so that our Confucianism cannot be solemnly respected, so that our scholar-bureaucrats will disappear from now on, and the common people will never be able to control it. Now the implementation of pinyin and sentence reading is the beginning."
At this time, Li Biao, the Minister of Rites, also started talking about Li Kangxian, the Minister of Academic Affairs, because of Zhu Youxiao's actions in education.
Li Kangxian said: "It is difficult to disobey the sacred mandate, but it is not so easy to promote it. Nowadays, we are the scholar-bureaucrats who are responsible for teaching and educating people, and the ones who are active in reading are also the children of our scholar-officials. There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Although His Majesty has issued this decree, it does not mean that the lower private schools, social schools, and academies will comply with it. When the time comes, the civil and military examinations will be conducted, which really touches the pain point of the gentry all over the world. If they want to gain fame, they need to Practicing martial arts, riding, and archery will really turn a country of etiquette into a country of martial arts."
"Yes, those who are warlike will perish! Soldiers are also deadly weapons! But now that the emperor insists on doing this, there is nothing we can do!"
Li Biao sighed.
"Although there is nothing we can do, we cannot forcefully implement corresponding national policies to please the emperor and father. This time the pinyin and sentence reading are implemented, the academic department has already issued, but the servant will not forcefully interfere with what the people below do, as long as A hundred years later, when the throne changes, these inappropriate decrees will exist in name only."
Li Kangxian continued.
"How is the pinyin and sentence reading method implemented?"
Zhu Youxiao asked Liu Hongxun, the minister in charge of the academic department.
Liu Hongxun replied: "The results are not very significant so far. Although enlightenment textbooks in this area have been compiled and ordered to be issued by the Chief Secretary's Academic Affairs Office, according to an investigation by Chen Weifu, even some academies in the capital have We still use the same method of enlightenment as before, and we don’t teach them how to read sentences and pinyin.”
"This is the result of the officials in charge of academic affairs not actively implementing it. Of course, the scholars below also did not actively implement it. In the past, they always made decisions for the people, but we really need to open up the people's wisdom and make it easier for the people to gain wisdom instead of making knowledge just When the education controlled by the elite continues to be implemented, it is so hesitant. It seems that reforms by scholar-bureaucrats alone are not enough, and they can only make repairs."
Zhu Youxiao said a few words and pondered.
Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "Look for an excuse to remove Li Kangxian from the post of Minister of Academic Affairs, and let His Royal Highness Zhu Youjian, the left deputy capital censor, Shi Xinwang, serve as Minister of Academic Affairs. This kind of thing that the nobles are not willing to do has to be done by the royal family." The descendants will do it.”
"yes!"
Yuan Keli, Bi Ziyan, and Liu Hongxun immediately replied.
As a result, King Xin Zhu Youjian was directly promoted to Minister of Academic Affairs.
This can be regarded as another breakthrough in the development of the Ming Dynasty. The clan can actually become a minister.
Even Yuan Keli, Bi Ziyan, and Liu Hongxun, the three most senior civil servants in the empire, couldn't help but start discussing in private because of this.
"The clan participates in politics and military officers manage civil affairs. In addition, since Tumubao, civilian officials have taken charge of military affairs. In the future, the court will become more and more lively."
Bi Ziyan couldn't help but laugh at this.
"Not only is it lively, except for the Holy One, no one wants to live a happy life, because there are more than one pair of eyes staring at you. However, I am worried that if the princes also participate in politics in the future, I am afraid that they will inevitably have to fight among themselves. A matter of massacre.”
Yuan Keli said something at this time.
After saying that, Yuan Ke immediately became dizzy and his body seemed to fall backward.
Seeing this, Liu Hongxun hurriedly supported him: "Yuanfu, are you okay?"
Yuan Keli smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay. As we get older, our bodies are just not as good as before."
"It's time to find an imperial physician to take a look."
"It's no use even looking at it."
Yuan Keli suddenly fell down the steps as he spoke.
Liu Hongxun couldn't help shouting: "Yuan Fu!"
Bi Ziyan also shouted: "Yuan Fu!"
So much so that Zhu Youxiao, who was still in the hall, heard it and couldn't help but run out following the sound and asked the guards outside the hall: "What happened?"
"Yuansuke fell on the steps."
The guard replied.
Zhu Youxiao was shocked when he heard this. He remembered that Yuan Keli probably disappeared at this time in history, but he did not expect it to be so sudden.
Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao ran towards Yuan Keli and shouted: "Yuan Aiqing!"
Yuan Keli seemed to be awakened now. He couldn't help but open his eyes, stood up unsteadily, and walked towards Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, minister..."
Although they are kings and ministers, they have naturally developed a lot of friendship after working together for this empire for so many years under the same roof.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao ran toward Yuan Keli with a worried look on his face and walked down the steps in a panic.
Wang Chengen tried to help him but he pushed him away.
Yuan Keli also had tears in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and took a few steps. Then he felt dizzy, his feet became weak, and he fell towards the steps.
Bi Ziyan and Liu Hongxun were also older, so naturally they didn't hold them back.
Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to move faster, and at the same time, the scenes between the past kings and ministers could not help but appear in his mind.
However, when Zhu Youxiao came to Yuan Keli and was about to help him up, he found that he had lost his body temperature, his eyes were closed tightly, and his chest no longer rose.
Zhu Youxiao froze on the spot.
Another chief assistant left.
Tianqi Dynasty is about to open a new chapter.
