Just when the ministers thought that today's court meeting was finally coming to an end, Tianqi asked again at this time: "Are Xu Guangqi, Liu Zongzhou, Sun Yuanhua, and Mao Yuanyi here?" ”

When the four of them heard the apocalypse, they called out to themselves and said in unison: "The minister is here." ”

The envoy called one or two people for a long time, and now when they see the apocalypse, they call four at a time, and everyone knows that today's court meeting must be very long, and a few people who have not eaten breakfast quietly reach out and tighten their belts, ready to fight a protracted battle.

At this time, Tianqi said: "A while ago, someone recommended Xu Guangqi and Liu Zongzhou, I took a serious look at your book, to be honest, I didn't understand much. ”

The two of them began to listen to Tianqi and said that they had read their books carefully, and they were very happy, but when they heard Tianqi say that they didn't understand much, they felt very depressed. People say that you can learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family, but now the emperor can't understand your things, I'm afraid they can't afford to sell them at any price. At this time, Ting Tianqi continued: "Although I didn't understand much, I saw a few useful things, which is why I recruited you to Beijing. ”

When the two of them heard the apocalypse say this, they both bowed down and said, "Please make it clear to the emperor." ”

Apocalypse said: "I have seen three things in your books, loyalty to the country, benevolence to the people, and I don't really want to be an official. ”

The two of them didn't say anything when they heard the apocalypse say this, but suddenly they felt that there were misty tears in their eyes, and they didn't say a word in their hearts, that is: "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and the emperor who knows me!" ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "The emperor has an order, and the ministers have no disobedience!" May I do my best and die! ”

After listening to Liu Zongzhou's words, Tianqi was very satisfied, and secretly said in his heart that this intellectual is easy to deal with, as long as he says a few words of intimate nesting, he will die for you, unlike those rude martial artists who only have money in their eyes, and they will mutiny if they give a little.

Apocalypse said: "A while ago, I built a holy academy in the Hanlin Academy, and I am also planning to build another Bo academy in the Guozijian. ”

Xu Guangqi asked in confusion: "May I ask the emperor, what do these holy academies and doctoral academies do?" ”

Tianqi said: "I'm afraid Lord Xu and Lord Liu don't know, listen to me explain slowly." A while ago, I divided half of the Hanlin Academy and built a holy academy, preparing for Liu Zongzhou to come to the holy academy to preside. Liu Zongzhou has to do three things, one is to serve the old ministers over 70 years old, let them write books and speak in them; The second is to let learned people sit and talk about the Tao in the Holy Academy, and let all schools and scholars come to the Holy Academy for exchange of ideas; The third is to promote the right path and prevent heresy from poisoning the people. ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "Thank you to the emperor for his attention, the first two ministers can be competent, but the third is probably difficult, and it is difficult to judge what the standard of heresy is." ”

Tianqi smiled slightly and said: "This is easy to do, generally speaking, there are three results of the collision of ideas, one is to be approved by the majority of the people, the second is to have disputes with each other, and the third is that the majority of people are against it, and it is easy to judge according to this." ”

Liu Zongzhou frowned and said: "What the majority of people agree with is not necessarily right, and what the minority insists on is not necessarily wrong. ”

After listening to Liu Zongzhou's words, Tianqi was secretly unhappy, this admitting death is also a common problem of intellectuals, if he is not persuaded to make sense, he will be reluctant to do things, unlike treating military generals, and listening to the command of all actions will damage a lot of things.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, Tianqi nodded approvingly and said: "You have a point, what I mean is that only what is approved by the majority of the people can be allowed to be preached to the people of the world, and what a few people insist on is not necessarily wrong, but they are not worth promoting until they are accepted by the majority of the people, and spreading wrong or unworthy remarks around is heresy." ”

Seeing that Liu Zongzhou was still thinking about the apocalypse, he said: "My purpose is to apply what I have learned, and even if what a few people insist on is correct, you can't convince the majority to explain that your things are not accepted by the majority for the time being, so it is not worth using." I slowly discuss whether my point of view is right, what does Master Liu think? ”

Liu Zongzhou asked: "The minister still has a question, the emperor said that most people do not agree with only the majority of people in a certain place, such as in the Holy Academy. If it is left to the people of the whole world to judge, I am afraid it will be another result, I don't know if the emperor thinks the minister is right? ”

I thought that a slow discussion would stop there, but who knew that Liu Zongzhou was also interested and entangled in asking, Tianqi thought about it and said: "The people actually don't have much ability to judge right or wrong, they will only choose whether it is in their own interests, and it has to be something closely related to them." The issues discussed in the sacred academy are not issues that ordinary people can judge whether they are right or not, and it is very dangerous to take what is not necessarily right for people to choose. Think about it, if people choose a view that is not necessarily right, and years later find out that it is wrong, how much time and effort will it take to undo the impact? It is for this reason that I want you to keep the testimony from poisoning the people. ”

Liu Zongzhou nodded and said, "Then what departments are in the Holy Academy?" ”

It seemed that he was flickered, and Tianqi was in a good mood for a while and said: "I am initially divided into three departments, that is, the Department of Political Science which mainly records and sorts out how to govern the people, the Department of Military Science, which mainly records and sorts out how to use troops, and the Department of Philosophy, which specializes in discussing the general principles of induction. ”

It is estimated that he didn't understand it for a while, but this time Liu Zongzhou didn't ask again and just said: "The minister obeys the order, and slowly understands it after going down." ”

Tianqi nodded and turned to Xu Guangqi and said, "Lord Xu is a learned master, what I mean is to let Lord Xu preside over the Bo Academy, and its purpose is to apply what you have learned. The Faculty of Liberal Arts is divided into three departments, the Department of Agronomy, which mainly studies the yield and varieties of crops, the Department of Military Industry, which mainly studies ordnance equipment, and the Department of Mathematics and Physics, which mainly studies universal principles. ”

Xu Guangqi said: "The minister has no objection, but there are too many categories in this doctoral college, and there are many people who need it. ”

I thought that Xu Guangqi would have to spend some words, but who knew that Xu Guangqi directly said that there was no objection, it seems that those who study science do not have as many twists and turns as those who study liberal arts.

Tianqi said: "You should know Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi next to you, they are the ones I specially found to be in charge of the Ministry of Military Industry, what do you think?" As for the people in the Faculty of Agriculture and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, you need to discover and cultivate them. As long as you can increase the production of food, you can attract it regardless of your status. Similarly, as long as you have a specialty in mathematics and mechanics, you can recruit no matter what your status. If it's not enough, find someone interested in the national prison to cultivate. ”

Xu Guangqi endured and asked: "If they are foreigners from overseas, will the emperor allow them to enter the Bo Academy?" ”

Apocalypse said, "Didn't I already say it? As long as it has the ability and no matter what its identity is, it can be recruited, not to mention a foreigner, it is a horse and a sheep, as long as it is reasonable and has a skill, I will allow it to enter the doctoral college. ”

Seeing that Xu Guangqi had no words, Tianqi said to Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi: "The Military Industry Department of your University of International Education has a special idea to build fire systems and artillery, and if you don't have enough manpower, you will put it forward." ”

After Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi agreed, Tianqi said to Liu Zongzhou: "There are already many old ministers in the Holy Academy, and I will recommend an experienced person to enter the academy, and this person is Yang Hao, the former Liaodong Jingluo. ”

Hearing the apocalypse mention Yang Hao, Liu Yixie, the associate minister of the Government Council, said: "Your Majesty, this Yang Ho will lose his army and lose the city and land, and he should be beheaded according to his crime, does the emperor want to pardon his sins now?" ”

Apocalypse said: "If he was executed before, it would have been forgotten, and since he has not died until now, it can be regarded as a creation, and I am indeed ready to open the net." Besides, my purpose is to make the best use of everything, and it is better to let him write all his lessons and lessons than to cut him down, even if it is a negative textbook, it is very rich, right? ”

Seeing that the ministers had nothing to say, they announced the dissolution of the dynasty.

In fact, the ministers didn't have nothing to say, but they didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear of arousing new topics and having to continue to wait. Everyone thinks that the apocalypse will disperse when he says one or two things, and some people don't eat breakfast and prepare to have breakfast after the dispersal, who knows that when the apocalypse says that it is almost noon, breakfast is not able to be eaten, and it is necessary to go home and eat lunch directly.
