Chapter 486: Eight Years of the Apocalypse
Behind Zhu Youxiao, followed by the Wei Dynasty.
The two walked forward together, walking lightly and briskly, looking like they were strolling around, which made people a little envious.
In fact, in the past four years, Zhu Youxiao has not done anything at all, most of the time is spent sorting out the court, adjusting officials, and guiding thoughts.
In other aspects, Zhu Youxiao didn't make much moves at all, which made the imperial court stable for four years.
Although natural and man-made disasters continue to occur in various places, because of Zhu Youxiao's efforts, there was no trouble.
After four years of development, Daming has a feeling of peace and prosperity, which makes Zhu Youxiao's prestige rise a lot.
However, Zhu Youxiao was not very satisfied with this. Today, there are things that can be done in earnest
In the eighth year of the Apocalypse, a year that has never appeared in history, it is natural to do something different.
"Let's go back and have a look." Zhu Youxiao said to the Wei Dynasty beside him while strolling around.
The two turned a corner and walked back along the path of the Royal Academy.
This straight red brick road caused quite a stir at the beginning.
Because there are many statues on both sides of the road, which are learned from the blue brick road next to it.
The blue brick road is dedicated to some sages, and it is called the sage road.
And on this red brick road, the statues next to it are all famous ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are called Mingchen Road.
As soon as Mingchen Road came out, it naturally caused quite a stir.
There is nothing to say about Xianxian Road, this is the Royal Academy, and it is natural to worship Xianxian.
And this kind of thing, it is naturally different. Now that I have entered the Mingchen Road, I think that in the future, the royal academy will be passed on, and the statue of this person will always be displayed here for future readers.
If there are relatives or elders in the family who are displayed here, the scholar naturally has glory in his heart, and he is an official or scholar in the court, so he naturally wants to stay in this position, so that future generations can have a good look at himself.
Zhu Youxiao did not engage in one-size-fits-all, and there were also such famous ministers in the royal academies in various places. It's just that the statue is not a famous minister in the capital, but a famous minister in their local area.
These local nobles were reported from various places, checked and approved by the imperial court, and then built in the royal academies in various places, setting an example for local scholars.
In addition to the statues, there is also an inscription next to the statues that describes their process of becoming vassals.
Walking on this road, everyone was in awe.
Whether in this era or in later generations, the Chinese people attach great importance to this kind of thing, which should be regarded as a kind of inheritance, but it has evolved into a museum and other places in later generations.
The more famous one is the memorial hall of Taizu. When people entered, they were naturally in awe.
Zhu Youxiao and the two walked along this road, and after crossing Mingchen Road, they turned a corner and came to a courtyard at the back.
The sign at the entrance of the courtyard reads:
Qixian Pavilion.
Qixian Pavilion is a place established by Zhu Youxiao three years ago, and in these three years, there have been many things.
If the Baigong Institute is the scientific research institution of the Ming Dynasty, then the Qixian Hall is the ideological scientific research institution of the Ming Dynasty.
In the past three years, there have been a lot of good things in the Qixian Pavilion, which can be used as the ideological guidance of the Ming Dynasty, such as the Four People's Theory, the Law Theory, and the Tiangong Theory, which is now very popular.
This is also what Zhu Youxiao must change.
If scientific knowledge is to be promoted, then the existing doctrine of the induction of heaven and man has become the biggest stumbling block on this road.
The doctrine of celestial and human induction endowed the royal family with incomparable majesty, but at the same time limited the development of natural science. If you want to promote natural science, you must naturally jump out of this barrier.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao wanted to cut with the celestial induction, and after jumping out of the celestial induction, he found a legal route for himself. This is naturally the doctrine of Manifest Destiny.
is the same as what Zhu Youxiao promoted before, but it was noisy and noisy before, and this time it was officially canonized as a national policy.
The reason why the Zhu family was able to be the emperor was because the Zhu family had meritorious service to the world. God rewards the Lao Zhu family for their contributions, so the Lao Zhu family will be the emperor. And the merits of the ministers are rewarded by the old Zhu family, which is called the reward for Tianxing.
After making a cut with the induction of heaven and man, Qi Xian Pavilion vigorously promoted natural science, and in the past two years, these things have spread a lot, bringing a lot of impact to the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a change in the ideological world.
After all, the seven thousand books brought by Jinnige, plus some things collected by Zhu Youxiao, can make up for many of the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty.
For example, the earth is round, such as all kinds of mathematics, physics, and chemistry knowledge.
This reform can be said to have taken root and sprouted, and began to shine with Zhu Youxiao's encouragement and promotion. Especially in the Royal Academy, many people are obsessed.
After all, this knowledge is to be promoted. Zhu Youxiao had opened a science school before, but the effect was not obvious. But it doesn't matter, it's just a temptation.
Zhu Youxiao made a holy decree at that time, all students who graduated from the School of Science were directly given the Jinshi background, and they could also be crowned officials.
Although some people don't believe it, it really attracts a lot of people.
Moreover, Zhu Youxiao believes that as time goes by, there will be more and more such people, and there will be more and more officials who can be appointed by him at that time.
What technocracy means, Zhu Youxiao knows very well in his heart.
Walking into the Qixian Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao could obviously hear the arguments inside, and he didn't mean to go over.
Zhu Youxiao came to Qixian Pavilion just to walk, take a look, and listen, and didn't have the idea of saying anything to these people.
You know, each of these people has their own unique thoughts, and there will be more sparks here.
Now some people have turned out the ancient books, and have begun to carefully select the scholarship of various schools, and if they find something useful, they will take it, and then they will put on a Confucian doctrine and spread it.
Now these people are familiar with this kind of thing. Confucius completely became a little princess, who could be dressed up at will.
Zhu Youxiao doesn't care about this kind of thing, the person who set off this trend at the beginning was himself, and now he has a feeling of the Ming Renaissance.
Just take something useful.
Thousands of years of ancient wisdom came to life in this moment.
Zhu Youxiao is also happy to see this situation. Walking forward with his hands behind his back, his face was always happy.
After passing through the Qixian Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao and the two soon came to the library.
Walking into the door of the library, Zhu Youxiao found that the whole world was quiet.
It is strictly forbidden to make noises here, and even to lower your voice when you speak.
The courtyard of the library is large, or rather very large. There are a lot of stone tables and stones in the yard, and a lot of green plants are planted.
Many of the students sat at the stone tables flipping through the books, their expressions serious and serious.
Zhu Youxiao also saw many old people, who were also holding the book collection and frowning.
This is the Royal Library, and in addition to the students of the Royal Academy, many people from the city come to visit.
Some well-known scholars, as well as ministers in the court, all of them have licenses.
It is impossible to keep everyone out, and if that were the case, it would be the library of the Royal Academy, not the Royal Library of the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why it is necessary to limit the flow is nothing more than that there are too many people who want to come. If a place like the library is crowded, the scene is not very good.
The most important thing is to limit the flow of people who come in and not let them steal the books. You must know that there are not a few people who covet the books of the Ming Royal Library.
However, Zhu Youxiao also asked people to print some popular editions for sale, and some places were also divided here. The more important the book, the higher the level of borrowing required.
Zhu Youxiao walked around with his hands behind his back, and he didn't have any intention of reading the books here, but turned around and walked back.
After passing through the corridor, Zhu Youxiao came to a small courtyard.
At this point, his face became serious.
After stepping in, Zhu Youxiao saw the guards at the door.
Zhu Youxiao has walked through so many places, and there are no guards as tight as in this place.
A simple place is extraordinary.
But Zhu Youxiao doesn't care; Still walking inside.
On the contrary, those guards, after seeing Zhu Youxiao, directly knelt on the ground and saluted Zhu Youxiao.
Obviously, these people know the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be seen that Zhu Youxiao often comes here.
Walking in, Zhu Youxiao saw the busy people coming and going inside.
This is the world of Ming culture, and it is the gathering place of Ming culture.
Why?
Because this is the place where Zhu Youxiao compiled a book.
The person who presided over was called Wang Wei, an old man in his fifties who married a fifteen-year-old girl as a concubine.
This concubine should be eighteen years old now, right? Or in your twenties?
Zhu Youxiao didn't pay attention to it anymore, anyway, the old man didn't give birth to a son now. Obviously, he couldn't give birth to a son, not because of his wife, but because of his own son.
After studying natural sciences, especially the medical knowledge transmitted from the West, especially some knowledge that Zhu Youxiao asked him to compile, Wang Zheng sometimes regretted it.
In Wang Zheng's words, marrying such a young wife at such an old age is already doing evil. As for his devotion to Catholicism, he is now less religious.
The reason is also very simple, Zhu Youxiao asked Wang Zheng to compile a history of Catholicism, clearly showing the entire missionary history in front of him.
Bloody, messy, what money for indulgence, what a cross expedition, it's all written anyway.
So Wang Wei knew one thing, Catholicism is no different from Buddhism and Taoism. As for the things he liked, they were no different from religion.
In His Majesty's words, this is called natural science. When these people first preached, they did not use the natural sciences to fool them.
After Zhu Youxiao told Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng completely changed his beliefs and is now a staunch believer in Scientology.
Zhu Youxiao sent Wang Zheng here to repair books, and the books he repaired were not ordinary books, but books for later generations.
