Although Kangxi was inspecting the outside of the Saiwai, he was constantly instructed along the way, frequently transferring and appointing officials from key departments in various places and the capital, and Yinzhen had always paid little attention to the appointment and transfer of officials, but the edict on July 21 attracted his attention. {Hand, hit\ Reading Pavilion. Head. Hair}

On July 21, the edict made Qi Shiwu the secretary of the criminal department, Yin Tai as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Kali as the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, Jiang Qi as the governor of Gansu, and Shi Yide as the governor of Jiangnan.

After reading the Di newspaper, Yinzhen was depressed for a while, with Kali as the governor of Liangjiang, this guy is notoriously greedy, and Shi Yide, Yinzhen has no impression, only remembering the deputy general who was mentioned two years ago, serving as the general of Tianjin, and now mentioning the governor of Jiangnan, it should be Jane's character in the emperor's heart.

Kali was on the side of the starling brother when he publicly promoted the prince last year, but this Shi Yide is unclear, and he is about to go to Jiangning, what is the meaning of Kangxi's arrangement?

The release of Beijing officials is usually required to be seen by His Majesty, but Kangxi is not in the capital, so he is naturally exempted, but it is inevitable that a group of officials will be able to take gifts, and this is also an opportunity to openly receive gifts.

Yinzhen thought about it, it's better not to give gifts, those brothers, all of them are like human spirits, as soon as they give gifts, they are afraid that they will be able to guess that they will go to Jiangnan immediately, and it is better to hide this matter for the time being, and it is better to talk less about their identity and deal with officials, so as not to tell the truth.

Yinzhen was pondering to himself, but Hai Feng's voice sounded outside the door, "Slave Hai Feng knocks on the fourteenth master." ”

"Come in the Reading Pavilion." Yinzhen commanded lazily.

Hai Feng came in with a happy face, "Congratulations to the Fourteenth Master, the private school in Da'er Hutong has been rebuilt, and more than a dozen Western missionaries have come, and the children have also moved in. ”

This is good news, Yinzhen asked with great interest, "How many children?" ”

"One hundred and twenty-two."

Although it was different from what was expected, there were only one hundred and twenty-two, Yinzhen was also content, and immediately smiled: "Well, yes, let's go, go with my master to have a look." ”

Before walking out of the courtyard, Yinzhen looked at Haifeng again, "Can the blackboard and chalk that you asked someone to make are ready?" ”

"It's done." Hai Feng nodded, "Those missionaries and those few people like it very much, and they all praise the method that Ye thought of is good, but that chalk is a little unsatisfactory and easy to break." ”

Chalk is easy to break, that is, the ratio of plaster and limestone powder has not been adjusted, and Yinzhen can't remember this ratio, so he had to tell Haifeng, "The person you call chalk will do it a few more times, and reward him with a few taels of silver if it is not easy to break." ”

Yinzhen and his entourage rushed to Da'er Hutong, those missionaries and lifters came out, to Yinzhen's surprise, Min Ming and I actually rushed over, saw Yinzhen, Min Ming I took the lead in a greeting ceremony, a group of missionaries clumsily followed the study.

Yinzhen laughed loudly: "Excuse me, please get up." Bayi Chinese~" and then entered the private school under the support of everyone.

The private school was rebuilt according to Yinzhen's plan, the dormitories of the missionaries and the juzi and the miscellaneous servants were separated, and the children's dormitories and classrooms were separated independently, especially the classrooms, not only on the roof with bright tiles, but also on both sides of the windows, the light was not bad. After inspecting it, Yinzhen felt pretty good, there was already a prototype of the school, but due to the terrain, the students' activity space was a little smaller.

Happy, Yinzhen inscribed a plaque on the door of the private school - hope to learn righteously, and left his own seal at the place of payment, he was to prevent himself from being in the capital, some blind officials came to find trouble, and then, he began to arrange classes according to the primary school of later generations, after the arrangement, Min Ming and I left with a group of missionaries first, but a few lifters stayed.

Hai Feng is also clever, seeing this situation, he immediately introduced these six lifters one by one, most of these six lifters are in their twenties, they are Ding Shan, Pan Xiang, Bai Ziyun, Wu Anbang, Yang Min, Song Shifan, and the six of them will inevitably see each other again.

Yinzhen was about to comfort them with warm words, but Yang Min was long-winded, and said loudly: "Thanks to the love of the fourteenth master, the six students can have a place to live in the capital. ”

turned out to be a person who fought in the ring, Yinzhen was secretly funny, but he also admired this guy in his heart, a move, who dared to talk eloquently in front of his own Bei Ziye, and said lightly at the moment: "Yang Min is a reading pavilion, if you have any doubts, let's listen to it." ”

Yang Min was not stage frightened, raised his head and said: "The students don't understand why the Fourteenth Master let those Yangyi come to teach these children, my country has a long history of learning, isn't it enough for these children to learn?" ”

Yinzhen said with a smile: "Chinese studies are indeed broad and profound, but Western studies also have their advantages, wouldn't it be better to learn both?" ”

Yang Min took a bite and pushed it back, "Forgive the students for their shallow knowledge, and they can't see the excellence of Western learning." ”

"You are arrogant, sitting in the well and watching the sky, Yelang is arrogant and not ashamed." Yinzhen didn't expect this guy to come back without thinking about it, and suddenly his heart was on fire, and after an angry reprimand, he knew that he would not frustrate the spirit of these few movers, and a few of them might make some kind of demon moth in Yixue, so he asked immediately; "You are also people who are full of poetry and books, and you boast that you know astronomy and geography, so I ask you, can you know geological surveying and mapping, not to mention my map of the territory of the Qing Dynasty? It's a map of a prefecture and a county, can you draw it? Can you draw a hydrological map of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River? How much do you know about the astronomical calendar? Know what is the reason for the tengu eating the moon? Know how a solar eclipse is formed? Know why an earthquake occurs? Do you know how big the world is? Know what the Earth is shaped? Know where our Great Qing is on the earth? ”

In the face of Yinzhen's barrage of questions, not only Yang Min made a few moves, but even Hai Feng on the side was stupid, although they had read so many books, they really couldn't answer these questions, and some had never even heard of them.

Yang Min was still unconvinced, and argued: "Can those missionaries be able to answer? ”

"Zi said, if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher, choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good. Why can't you apply what you've learned? In your spare time, it is beneficial to communicate with missionaries. Yinzhen slowed down his tone, and said earnestly: "Humility benefits, full of losses, don't read a few books and five classics and don't put the people of the world in your eyes, I am in China, up and down for 5,000 years, with a long history, a splendid culture, and there is no other place in the world, but now the West, and the country of Yangyi in your mouth, they have caught up, not only caught up, but also began to surpass us in astronomy, geography and physics."

Do you know why they are progressing so fast? Four words, negation, innovation! They have the courage to deny the conclusions of their predecessors, and dare to innovate and put forward their own opinions, although they have been ridiculed, ridiculed, beaten and even brutally persecuted, they do not retreat because of this, and continue to prove their opinions with facts.

What about us? I don't know how to explore or innovate, and I don't have the courage to deny the conclusions of my predecessors, so I am confined to a corner, blindly reading books, and I don't know how to be flexible, but I only know how to indulge in the splendid civilization created by my predecessors, and I don't realize that I am in a great change that has not been seen in 3,000 years.

These missionaries have traveled across the ocean, from 40,000 miles away, to come to our Qing Dynasty, what did they bring? Maps, armillary spheres, horizon dials, telescopes, don't give me any strange skills, these things can be widely used in military and astronomical instruments, very practical.

Any idea why I let these children learn English and French from an early age? Do you know why I named this private school Hope Yixue? That's because I hope that when they grow up, they will be able to go out of the Qing Dynasty like these missionaries, open their eyes to the world, and go to Western countries to learn their most advanced knowledge.

You only see these missionaries coming to us to spread their cultural knowledge, but you don't know that they have banned us from the two most important disciplines, analytic geometry and calculus. ”
