After hearing Ning Yu's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and soon two guards outside the hall took great difficulty to lift a globe more than three feet high to the top of the main hall, on which a round sphere was placed, and many patterns were depicted, which looked extremely fine.

Li Fu, the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, had been silent before, but when he saw this thing, he suddenly became energetic, he stepped forward and took a closer look, and then sighed in a low voice: "This globe, the minister has seen it in Kangxi's imperial study, but this globe is bigger and more detailed,"

"Oh? Is there this thing in Kangxi's study? ”

Ernst also had a smug smile on his face, because this object was a globe specially made by him and other related missionaries, and it was also the first gift to Ning Yu.

This elaborate globe is extremely finely made, with the ecliptic, equator, latitude and longitude painted on the sphere, with the equator painted in red, the ecliptic painted in yellow, and the latitude and longitude lines drawn every 10°. The copper ring at the middle waist of the sphere is a horizon circle, engraved with four quadrants. The copper circle that intersects with the horizon circle is the meridian circle, and the north pole of the ball is attached to the time disk, which is engraved with twelve hours, which is divided into the beginning and the positive.

In addition, it is also marked with the names of the 24 solar terms, the Tropic of Capricorn, the Antarctic Circle, the Arctic Circle, etc., and also draws the administrative regions of the entire East Asia, such as the names of some large cities are also listed on it, such as "Beijing", "Nanjing", "Taiyuan", "Ningxia", "Lanzhou", "Nanchang", "Suzhou", "Xiamen", "Wuchang", "Hankou", etc., as well as rivers, lakes, islands, and even the Great Wall are marked on it, although the accuracy cannot be compared with the globe of later generations, But in this era, it can be regarded as extremely rare.

Everyone around the globe is discussed, their understanding of geography is not superficial, in fact, the globe has been in the Yuan Dynasty as early as the Yuan Dynasty, but it is not so fine, but the ministers are still enough for the basic earth cognition, so they will not be surprised that the earth is a circle, at most they are surprised that the accuracy of this globe is much stronger than in the past.

"During the Wanli period, the Western missionary Matteo Ricci once came to China to promote the theory of the circle of the earth, and also made the globe and the "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu" by himself, but the globe at that time was not as fine as it is now."

Cui Wancai was knowledgeable, and soon thought of such a small episode hidden in the history books, he also looked at the earth carefully, and sighed: "Now this globe is too delicate......

After everyone calmed down for a while, Ning Yu said softly: "The reason why I took it out is that I hope you can take a more long-term view, if you just overthrow the Qing court, you really don't need to do these things, but the problem is that our world is interconnected, if we don't go to the West first, then they will come to us in the future." ”

"Maybe this day won't come soon, maybe I and you Aiqing won't see this day, but what about our children and grandchildren? If that day comes, when the door of Huaxia is knocked open, what will our children and grandchildren think of us? ”

"A bunch of old stubborns who can't eat the old! A bunch of arrogant old rotten! ”

Everyone was silent, they didn't understand Ning Yu's thoughts, but Ernst's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his face was full of admiration, no king in this world could look at the future with such humility.

Whether it was the dying King Philip V of Spain, or the ambitious King Frederick William I of Prussia, and even those European monarchs, large and small, they were only satisfied with what they were now, and set their eyes on their own one-third of an acre, but never really raised their heads to look into the distance.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be a little touched, Ning Yu let out a long sigh and said softly: "Ernst and all the talents from Europe will be reused, but instead of letting them become officials, they will go into the university to train more students and establish a more sustainable training mechanism." ”

Hearing Ning Yu's words, a person stood up from among the ministers, although he looked quite young, but his bearing was like that, and he arched his hand and said: "The ministers of the Ministry of Education are still the ancestors of the whole ancestor who want to obey the holy will, education is the foundation of the country, and the convergence of Chinese and Western ideas can create good talents." ”

The Ministry of Education Shangshu Quan Zuwang can be called the youngest of the senior officials in the entire imperial court, and he is also a yamen like the Ministry of Education, but no one is unconvinced, it is really because this person's background is too big, and there is an elegant matter involved.

It's a long story, after Ning Yu announced the restructuring, the original six ministries were split into dozens of ministries and yamen, and most of them found more suitable and convincing scholars, but only the Ministry of Education was involved in major matters, but it has not found a suitable candidate.

Ning Yu originally planned to let Jiangnan Wenzong Lu Yizhong take the position, his prestige was enough and could convince the public, but Lu Yizhong couldn't refuse, claiming that he wanted to idle Yunye Crane, and later in desperation he looked for Yan Hongkui, and this person also couldn't refuse, and later the two recommended one person to Ning Yu, that is, Quan Zuwang, who was just in his early twenties.

The reason why Quan Zuwang was able to get the recommendation of these two great Confucians was not only because he was erudite and talented, but also because Quan Zuwang was a representative of the Eastern Zhejiang School today, and he was also a disciple of Lizhou's private lady, and he had a great reputation in Shilin.

Ning Yu still attached great importance to Quan Zuwang, and said with a smile: "With Shaoyi's words, I will be relieved to hand them over to you." ”

"Never disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations."

Three days later, Quan Zuwang presented the excerpt to Ning Yu, in which he carried out a comprehensive plan, the first step was to arrange the establishment of schools in Nanjing, Hangzhou, Wuchang, Changsha, Nanchang, Fujian, Guangzhou and other places, some of these schools will become comprehensive universities, and the other part will be specialized schools, such as normal, agriculture, geology, mining, industry and commerce, medicine and other universities, by these Westerners as teachers.

In addition, for some Westerners who are good at military affairs, they will be arranged to be in the lecture hall and become the teacher of the lecture hall, and another new military academy - the Dachu Royal Military Academy has also begun to rise from the ground, and will become another university that integrates Chinese and Western military techniques and tactics, and the Dachu Royal Naval Academy was also created in Fujian, becoming the first naval academy at present, at the same time, the Ningchu naval division has also undergone formal reorganization and was named the navy.

In fact, most of this series of major events have already been planned, and after these Westerners come to Ningchu, they can be regarded as officially launched, which is also Ning Yu's idea at the beginning, starting from the most basic place, and then completing the transcendence.

Of course, the preliminary construction of these universities has already been officially launched, so they will be put into use in the third year of innovation at the latest, and before that, a series of enrollment work will also be carried out with Ning Chu's second imperial examination, in which Ning Chu will also officially include other related subjects in the imperial examination, and it is no longer just the traditional Confucian classics.

Although the Shilin students knew that the reform would definitely come, they did not expect it to come so quickly and in such a hurry, and they wanted to express their resistance, but because there were no competent people to take the lead in the resistance, these opposing voices could not really gather together, and they could not constitute an impact.

Therefore, after Ning Yu promulgated the content of the second imperial examination, most people still chose to obey Emperor Ning's will, Emperor Lao Tzu can take whatever he wants, and these people are not stupid, of course, they understand that everyone will not do it at the moment, so the difficulty of the examination will not be high at all.

I have to say that quite a lot of smart people have understood Ning Yu's intentions this time, in fact, Ning Yu of course knows in his heart that these people who are used to reading the Four Books and Five Classics don't know what physical chemistry is at all, and they are also blind to mathematics, but it doesn't matter, then set the questions simpler, as long as they can answer the level of serious surprise study before the exam.

To put it bluntly, Ning Yu is screening people who are really willing to obey him through the imperial examination, rather than having to make them talents who have improved their overall quality all of a sudden, after all, this is not realistic at all. However, no matter what their intentions are, as long as they can show Emperor Ning that they have studied hard, then it is understandable to give them an official position.

But in the final analysis, only the common people who can't survive choose to rebel, and those who can't pass the imperial examination don't have the courage to rebel....... Comrade Huang Chao should be ignored here. Therefore, Ning Yu is not worried at all, these scholars are at most complaining in their hearts.

Of course, the opposition of these people is not useless, at least with the help of some well-intentioned people, it has spread all the way to the capital, and naturally it has also reached the ears of Emperor Yongzheng.

"Your Majesty, Chu Wei has finally exposed his prodigal ambitions this time! They actually destroyed the Confucian scriptures and meanings, and did not let the scholars take the Confucianism examination, but instead went to learn those barbarian things, which shows that their country will not be a country, and people's hearts are bound to be in chaos! ”

Zhang Tingyu knelt on the ground, with a little excitement on his face, as if he had eaten more than a dozen Jiji Dan at once, and he was a little ruddy.

Yongzheng looked at the secret report transmitted from the south, but for some reason, his eyes seemed to blow into the sand, but a line of tears flowed, although no one dared to look directly at his face, but Yongzheng still lowered his head, he took a deep breath, and then raised his head, his eyes were full of fire!

Chu Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore, the opportunity of the Qing Dynasty finally came!

In today's world, it is a pattern of competition between Chu and Qing, and in this big pattern, the power of Confucianism should not be underestimated!

Yongzheng thought that he had grasped Ning Chu's death hole, and his long-suppressed emotions were completely released, and he said loudly: "Zhang Qing, now my opportunity has come, and the opportunity of the Qing Dynasty has also come!" ”

"Your Majesty, now that the political situation in the south is turbulent, Shilin is unstable, people's minds have changed, and the people all miss me in the Qing Dynasty! Now, if the army is led south, I am afraid that the south will be full of smoke in an instant! ”

Zhang Tingyu didn't know if he really took the wrong medicine, at this time, he was a little more excited than Yongzheng, but he left the current Qing Dynasty behind, and never thought that the Qing Dynasty still had the strength to move south.

On the contrary, Emperor Yongzheng's mind was still a little sober, he thought about the army of Nian Qianyao who had retreated to Gansu before, and then thought about Yue Zhongqi who pretended to be dead in Sichuan, and then looked back at the New Army of the Eight Banners, whose strength was still only on paper, and couldn't help but sigh long, the family background of the Qing Dynasty was too thin.......

The previous repeated wars finally made Emperor Yongzheng realize the cruelty of reality, he didn't want to take the opportunity to lead the army south, but at the moment, he didn't even have a truly reliable military force, and even the Mongolian tribes that had always been obedient in the past have now begun to choose a wait-and-see attitude.

"Now, I'm afraid I can only miss the opportunity, if we start a war rashly, Daqing has no chance of winning at the moment."

Yongzheng let out a long sigh, he was really a little unwilling, but no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't conjure up a really powerful army.

Zhang Tingyu heard Yongzheng say this, so he unwillingly smacked his mouth, stroked his beard and said: "It's not that there is no chance at all, the slave thinks that he can let the Confucian predecessors write a book of crusade against Chu Rebellion, and then spread it all over the south to confuse people's hearts..... You can also secretly send envoys to contact the Jiangnan Confucian, and in the future, with an order, you can make Chu Reverse suffer the enemy! ”

Yongzheng listened carefully, and felt that this suggestion was quite reliable, and immediately agreed, the previous Confucianism wrote something to denounce it is simple, after all, the Confucians of the Qing Dynasty are grabbing a lot of them, and even a few of the cabinet have a lot of appeal in Shilin - the real difficulty is to send someone to contact Jiangnan Shilin.

You must know that Ning Chu's underground forces are not small, and everyone knows about the Daimyo of the Military Intelligence Department and the Shadow, no matter who is sent, he will beat the drum in his heart, this is not a joke, in the face of those secret agents whose noses are smarter than dogs, there is a slight flaw, but it is difficult to die.

In addition, if you want to contact Jiangnan Daru, this person's identity cannot be too low, no matter where a character like this is placed, it is easy to attract the attention of people with a heart, and if you want to do something, it will be even more difficult.

Emperor Yongzheng thought about it and felt a headache, especially the secret agents arranged by the Qing court in Jiangnan and other places, all because of Sun Wencheng's rebellion before, coupled with Ning Chu's cleanup of Jiangnan, it was basically completely gone, and it was indeed difficult to insert a dark stake in this case, so he no longer continued to torture his head, but directly stared at Zhang Tingyu.

You come up with an idea, you choose someone!

Zhang Tingyu laughed softly: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that there is still a force worth using in Jiangnan today. ”

"What kind of force is it?"

"Cao Gang!"
