Chapter 56: Baby

Xu Guangqi has translated more than 60 kinds of books in his lifetime, mainly including "Chongzhen Almanac", "Measurement Law", "Pythagorean Righteousness", "Nine Chapters of Algorithm", "Xu's Words", etc.; Summing up the experience of agricultural production in China in the past dynasties, he compiled the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", which became a pioneer of modern science in China.

Xu Guangqi never forgot Jiao Hong's kindness and respected Jiao Hong as his mentor all his life. In the writings of Xu Guangqi and his descendants in the second half of his life, and in the genealogy of the Xu family, this old event has been recorded many times.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Xu Guangqi's descendants are talented. His thirteenth grandson is a soldier, and he has a granddaughter named Ni Guizhen, who is the mother of the "Three Song Sisters" who are famous in modern Chinese history - Song Ailing, Song Qingling, and Song Meiling.

When Zhu Youxiao saw this introduction in his previous life, he was still amazed, but he was only amazed and didn't have any special feelings.

But at this time, it was different, Zhu Youxiao found that there seemed to be some unknown things hidden here. Xu Guangqi seems to be the next heir pushed out by the Taizhou School, although he has been stumbling, but he did turn over later.

But Zhu Youxiao really didn't want Xu Guangqi to participate in the ideological debate, he needed Xu Guangqi to do things. You can listen to Xu Guangqi's thoughts on this matter.

But then again, I haven't given Xu Guangqi the title yet, which doesn't seem appropriate.

After thinking about it, Zhu You said to Chen Hong: "Go and pass Xu Guangqi into the palace." ”

Xu Guangqi's official has long been sealed, the squire of the military department, the governor of Jingying Rongzheng, Xu Guangqi has also taken office.

It's just that Zhu Houzhao hasn't talked to him about what Xu Guangqi is going to do.

Because Zhu Houzhao was waiting for someone, waiting for Qi Jin's arrival.

Once Qi Jin arrived, his new army plan could begin.

After the establishment of the new army, he will put Lu Xiangsheng into it, who will become the general of the new army, or the future commander.

Although Qi Jin is very good, he is already old, even if Qi Jin does not die in battle, it is estimated that he will not have a few years to live, after all, he is already sixty-seven years old.

Not to mention putting it in Daming at this age, even if it is placed in the next life, it will be many years of retirement.

Even when many people reach this age, their bodies will not be able to do well, and Zhu Youxiao must prepare for the cultivation of Qi Jin's successor.

Lu Xiangsheng is naturally a very suitable candidate, so Zhu Youxiao is ready to get Lu Xiangsheng into the new army.

However, these things can be discussed with Xu Guangqi. Of course, I also have to ask him what he thinks of Li Zhen's theory.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Hong agreed, turned around and walked outside, he ran to find Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi has begun to take office these days, but things are very different from what he imagined, even in this official position, Xu Guangqi found that there are still many problems, and they are also very big.

Constraints and problems are everywhere, it can be said that he wants to straighten out everything and then do things according to his own ideas, it is difficult, and it is unlikely that it will succeed, unless there is a large-scale change of personnel.

But where did he go to find the right person? Even if you find a suitable candidate, I am afraid that you will have to step down.

If you don't, you'll have to fight with these people who are holding you back. But once you get caught up in a struggle, you really can't do anything.

In fact, this is the political ecology of the late Ming Dynasty, no one can escape, and no one can get around.

If you want to do something, there are many people who stumble and hold you back, and everyone is used to attacking others as a means of meritorious service.

It's easier and more convenient to attack others than to do things yourself. This is like the election of later generations, it is far easier to stink the enemy than to highlight yourself, so the election that originally selected the elite turned out to be worse than bad.

That's how it is now.

If this ethos is not broken, it will become very difficult to deal with anything.

Soon Xu Guangqi entered the main hall, the expression on his face was slightly hesitant, he was wondering if he wanted to talk to His Majesty.

If you talk to Your Majesty, does it seem that you are incompetent? What will Your Majesty think of himself? But not to mention, it will take a lot of time, can Your Majesty bear it on this day?

Xu Guangqi felt that he was in a dilemma.

Zhu Youxiao was not clear about Xu Guangqi's thoughts, but he would not expect Xu Guangqi to make any achievements in a short period of time.

The situation of the Ming Dynasty is like this, Emperor Chongzhen is impatient, and he wants to do everything as soon as possible, but with the current official quality and bureaucratic atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, it is basically impossible.

Even if it is military training, it requires all kinds of reconciliation. Even the military pay and weapons, the military department will get stuck and ask you for bribes, and if you don't settle them, you won't even get the military pay and ordnance.

Under such circumstances, like Sun Chuanting, who was able to train his troops well in Shaanxi and was very effective, it can be said that Sun Chuanting has really done his best.

"Minister Xu Guangqi, see Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi came to Zhu Youxiao and saluted respectfully.

"Aiqing, excuse me!" Zhu Youxiao smiled and waved his hand.

When Xu Guangqi stood up, Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and ordered: "Sit down." ”

Xu Guangqi is not young, you have to take good care of it!

In Zhu Youxiao's view, the longer such a person lives, the better. This is the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, it is his own treasure, but nothing must happen.

"I'm looking for Aiqing today, I have something I want to talk to Aiqing about." Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi with a smile and said, "I heard that Aiqing is Jiao Hong's student? I want to hear Aiqing talk about Jiao Hong's doctrine. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Guangqi felt that he was going to finish, was this someone digging a pit for himself?

Regarding his teacher's thoughts, Xu Guangqi knew very well in his heart. Although his teacher is not as radical as Li Zhen, the two of them actually have similar ideas, and they have also heard the teacher's teachings, but he is not as desperate as Li Zhen.

Li Zhen abandoned his official position, couldn't look past the affairs of officialdom, lectured among the people, and spoke out, hoping to be reused by the talented people in the court.

If someone reuses him, he is even willing to repay him with death. It's just that no one contacted him, and even he was killed, and his doctrine was directly branded as heresy.

Their own teachers are not so extreme, but they all think the same.

In Xu Guangqi's opinion, this is someone who mentioned this matter in front of His Majesty.

The reason is also very simple, that is, to target yourself.

I have to say that no matter who does this is, it is ruthless enough.

What his teacher's idea is, of course Xu Guangqi knows. It is impossible for him to abandon the doctrine of the teacher, because he is in agreement with the teacher's ideas.

But if you say it directly, then it is estimated that you will not be able to do it as an official.

Even if he turned his back on the teacher, it is estimated that the person behind the incident will make a big fuss.

If you don't respect the teacher, what have you become?
