Xu Guangqi told Yang Reform very mysteriously: "Your Majesty, this tool is arithmetic, arithmetic, or in other words, geometry translated by ministers." ”

Yang Reform suddenly had another feeling of five thunders. Xu Guangqi's words made him very thunderous, and he did not hesitate to fool Taoism into Scientology in order to study some super technology, and fooled a Shenstick Sect into a religion that explores science.

Yang Reform has a feeling that his heart is being seen through, looking at Xu Guangqi's two "glowing" looks, he feels that this Xu Guangqi is really not simple! It's okay to fool Zhang Xianyong's "superstitious jars", and fool Xu Guangqi, who has some understanding of astronomy, calendar, arithmetic, geography, physics, machinery, etc., this old foundation was seen through at once.

Yang Gengai felt a little blushing and said, "Master Xu is really far-sighted!" The suggestion is really a very practical tool...... "Yang Gai has to admit that Xu Guangqi is right, this mathematics is indeed the cornerstone of any science.

Xu Guangqi's eyes were "shining", his face was flushed, and he said: "Your Majesty, since this arithmetic and arithmetic are so important, and the degree is bypassed by counting things, why doesn't Your Majesty use this number of things to study things in the world by discipline and lane?" Thinking about arithmetic, arithmetic is the basis for studying things in the world, using arithmetic, arithmetic to study things in the world, the minister thinks that it may be better than His Majesty's method of seeking Taoism to explore the way of heaven......" Xu Guangqi said his plan with a flushed face.

Yang Reform was not lightly affected by Xu Guangqi's "powerful" aura, and asked weakly: "Master Xu, what do you think this mathematics can do?" Yang Reform now has an idea, this Xu Guangqi may be more like a traverser than himself, what he does, to put it bluntly, is more "modern" than himself, and he actually proposed to use mathematics to study basic things, if so, then what is this? Academy? It's still the Royal Academy of Sciences, no wonder when he fooled Taoism to work for him, Xu Guang used that terrifying eye to look at himself.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thought about it hastily, and felt that this arithmetic can bypass a number of things, the first is the astronomical calendar, think now, this calendar, has become more and more inaccurate, often mistakes, resulting in a decline in the prestige of the imperial court, if you use arithmetic to recalculate, presumably, this astronomy, calendar, will be more accurate......"

Speaking of this, Sun Chengzong also spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zixian is right, this astronomical calendar has always been the top priority of the imperial court, the accurate surname of the calendar is related to the accurate surname of the world's agricultural time, the orthodox surname of the legal system, and the prestige of the imperial court. ”

Sun Chengzong did not know the West as well as Xu Guangqi, and was not as proficient in mathematics, astronomy, calendar, machinery, and physics as Xu Guangqi, and he didn't think much about Xu Guangqi.

Yang Gai also nodded, and said: "What Master Xu said is good, Master Sun is also an old man seeking the country, this matter can be studied if it is really needed!" This is a matter of the legal system of the imperial court, and the harvest of the world's agricultural season cannot be neglected. Yang Gai also saw what Xu Guangqi meant, and knew what this guy who seemed to be "traversing the crowd" was thinking, wasn't it to establish an "academy of sciences" that used mathematics to study various things? I am a thousand willing, ten thousand willing!

Xu Guangqi won the emperor's affirmation, and said with a firm gaze: "...... This arithmetic can not only bypass the calendar, not only can it be repeated and corrected, but also can bypass accounting and financial management, engineering and architecture, weapons and military arts, equipment, and geography...... Your Majesty, this arithmetic is the foundation of the encyclopedia! If you can say the above with the academic research minister, then the strength of our dynasty will definitely increase greatly, and as Your Majesty thinks, the 'Dao' between heaven and earth must also be able to touch the like, and you will definitely be able to glimpse the avenue of heaven and earth! ......" Xu Guangqi became more and more anxious the more he spoke, and his face flushed.

Yang Reform thinks that Xu Guangqi is a scientist or a traverser, yes, thinking about things, thinking about things, absolutely different from the ordinary scholars and doctors of the Ming Dynasty now, when those scholars in the Ming Dynasty are still thinking about their daughters-in-law, children, silver, houses, and sedan chairs, he is thinking about the future, thinking about the future of the Ming Dynasty, and considering the future of the Chinese nation.

"Master Xu, according to what you mean, should I establish an academy of sciences? Dedicated to researching this stuff? Yang Reform summed up to Xu Guangqi, in fact, Yang Reform himself just wants to do this, with the Academy of Sciences, he can give a point, or give an order, let the Academy of Sciences come up with a lot of high-tech, this, far more feasible than doing science alone. Anyway, this era is the era of the explosion of science and technology in the West, and the outbreak of science and technology in the East is not a big deal, it can only be said to be the product of cultural exchanges between the East and the West.

"Returning to Your Majesty, extremely, extremely, I think so, once this Academy of Sciences is established, it will begin to study all kinds of things in the world by disciplines, and I think that the avenue of heaven and earth that Your Majesty said will definitely be able to be displayed in front of the world, which is the same as Your Majesty's wish! If this can be done, the weapons of our dynasty will definitely shoot farther, more accurately, and more powerful, and this accounting statistics will definitely be easier and clearer, and this building will definitely be more reliable......" Xu Guangqi tried his best to persuade the emperor to build this academy of sciences.

Yang Reform is speechless, this last year of the Ming Dynasty is really complicated! There are all kinds of things, all kinds of things, not only do they fool others into engaging in science and religion, but there are also people who persuade themselves to open an academy of sciences! What is this? This world is really crazy!

Yang Gai is very much in favor of this matter, but he also has to say the difficulty of this matter, that is, the bureaucrats in the court and the literati oppose it, otherwise, there is no need to fool a Taoist to do this.

"Master Xu, I support your idea, but I think it will not be easy to pass above the court! Although this arithmetic is one of the six arts of the gentleman, but it is not the right way to the imperial examination, although there is a requirement to study, but there is no exam, this, if the status of this arithmetic is strengthened now, I am afraid that it will be regarded by the courtiers as shaking the system of the imperial examination! The reason why I use Taoism to do this is actually to hide people's eyes and ears and avoid the opposition of the courtiers! Otherwise, the opposition of the ministers of the DPRK and China alone will make this matter troublesome, and even die in the middle of the process, not to mention the smooth opening of the Academy of Sciences! Yang Gai also took out his old foundation, and was ready to make a good sum up with his masters and discuss countermeasures together.

The emperor's words made the two emperors fall into thinking, the emperor's words were not wrong, this should strengthen the status of arithmetic, this is to shake the imperial examination system, this is to smash the future of hundreds of thousands of students today, this pressure is not small, if someone provokes from it, take advantage of the situation to say things, the consequences can be said to be unimaginable. In the end, it will be gray and gray, and chickens will fly and eggs.

Sun Chengzong thought for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, according to the ministers, it is better to do this, Your Majesty can let the courtiers discuss the matter of this calendar, with the current calendar is inaccurate, endangering the Ming agricultural time, the legal system as the topic, set up a calendar bureau, specializing in rebuilding the calendar, think about this, the courtiers, should not object, and then in this calendar bureau, according to what Zixian said, study these several contents separately, so that there is no need to be afraid of the opposition of the courtiers, you can also carry out research normally, what does Your Majesty think about this policy?" Sun Chengzong saw that the emperor and Xu Guangqi were talking enthusiastically, so he came up with an idea. Teach the emperor to play the matter of stealing concepts.

Yang Gengai clapped his hands and said: "Yes, yes, what Master Sun said makes sense, I think now, this calendar is very inaccurate, not to mention the delay in farming, it is even more critical to the prestige and legal system of my Ming Dynasty, so, it is also time to rebuild the calendar, this rebuilding the calendar, it is not something that can be completed in a day or two, for the accurate surname of the calendar, you can learn from the use of Western algorithms, strengthen the status of arithmetic, think about this, there is no problem, and then use the calendar bureau as a cover, secretly, use the arithmetic credit to study these things that Master Xu said, Let my weapons, buildings, and other aspects far surpass others, and strengthen my Ming, just start with this calendar bureau. Yang reformed his ambitious plan, and his eyes were full of hope.

Xu Guangqi felt that the emperor's idea was not bad, and said: "Your Majesty's method is really good, you can first use the name of the Calendar Bureau to carry out research, and when the conditions are ripe and the results are fruitful, then turn it into an academy of sciences, I hope it will not encounter too much opposition." ”

All three of them thought it was a good idea.

Yang Reform said: "Then it's settled, then the next time in the early dynasty, the master will find someone, put it in a book, mention this matter, I will discuss it a little, it is estimated that it will be passed, this matter, the sooner the better!" The matter of the Calendar Bureau, I have to trouble Master Xu, and Master Xu has to preside over the work...... "Yang Reform has seen Xu Guangqi's "historical data", and knows that Xu Guangqi later did this calendar bureau, the work of compiling the new calendar, and finally died at work.

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter, the minister personally proposed, the minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations, do a good job of this calendar bureau, and strengthen my Ming Dynasty, just start from the calendar bureau......" Xu Guangqi said to the emperor with tears in his eyes, this matter has always been the wish in his heart, after seeing the "advanced" and "reasonable" of the West, Xu Guangqi understood the gap between the West and the East, and what he wanted most was to introduce these "advanced" and "reasonable" into China as soon as possible, and become a powerful driving force for the Ming Dynasty, so, I have been constantly advocating practical learning. It's a pity that I haven't received strong support from the imperial court, and this matter is over, I am almost old, I thought that there was no hope in this life, where I knew, now, with such strong support from the emperor, how could I not be happy? Xu Guangqi, who saw through the gap between the East and the West, felt that there was hope for the Ming Dynasty.

"Good! Then the matter was settled. Yang Gengai actually wants the Academy of Sciences to come out as soon as possible, so that he can study a lot of "super" technology, thinking about the feeling of headache and explosion when he is engaged in science and technology alone, it is really uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, what ...... That Taoist thing, Your Majesty? "Xu Guangqi knows that the emperor is just fooling Zhang Xianyong and fooling Taoism, and now he has his own calendar bureau and academy of sciences, isn't this Taoism a business grabber? At the moment, I want the emperor to be exempted from the "errand" of Taoism and Zhang Xianyong, and to hand over such a serious matter as scientific research to a god stick and a religion, which is really the opposite of the opposite!

Yang Gengai thought for a while and said: "This Taoism studies science, studies the affairs of science and Taoism, let Zhang Xianyong, let Taoism continue to do it, it doesn't matter, this academy of sciences is clear, this Taoism is dark, both aspects of research, maybe they can communicate with each other, form a competition, this is better!" "Yang Gai still decided to let Taoism continue to do his own foolish things, this matter, finally fooled Zhang Xianyong, where can he give up easily? What's more, science is still in its infancy, there is no serious surname at all, it is still in the era when anyone can engage in science, everything is still in the fog, Taoism studies science, perhaps, has a greater advantage, because religion has a fanatical side.

The emperor decided to let Taoism continue to study the academy of sciences, and Xu Guangqi didn't say anything anymore, and Sun Chengzong's perception was not as profound as Xu Guangqi's, and he didn't quite understand what kind of wit the emperor and Xu Guangqi were fighting.

Wang Chengen has been in a state of "confusion" watching the emperor fool the leader of Taoism Zhang Xianyong, I don't understand what, how is the chief obedient to the emperor, I don't understand the meaning of what the emperor said to Zhang Xianyong, and I don't understand the significance of establishing the Academy of Sciences, I only feel that this emperor has grown up, and he is no longer the child he has been taking care of when he was a child. Just looked at the emperor with delightful eyes.

After the discussion of the matter, Sun Chengzong said in a joking tone: "Your Majesty, this old man is dizzy, and he wants to ask His Majesty for a treasure, I don't know if it can be done?" ”

Sun Chengzong begged for a baby, Yang Reform was very surprised, this Sun Chengzong didn't open his mouth! Not to mention asking for something from himself, he immediately said: "Hehe, Master Sun, I am the treasure in the palace, as long as Master Sun looks like that, just take it." Yang Reform said to Sun Chengzong quite generously, in fact, for his own treasure, Yang Reform felt that this was the "Palace Museum", not his own, this idea has always been a bit weird.

"Hehe, then since this is the case, the minister is disrespectful, the minister wants to ask His Majesty's magnifying glass, the minister is old, looking at the map, looking at the sand table, I always feel that the eyes are not good, the energy is not enough, I want to have this magnifying glass, this can be seen more clearly." Sun Chengzong wanted the emperor's magical magnifying glass to use as glasses.

Yang Reform suddenly remembered, this glass came out, this magnifying glass came out, why didn't this glasses come out yet? These glasses are a good thing, too! You can make a lot of money, and these glasses, after that, have become a symbol of cultural people! Why can't I make glasses and sell them? What a fool I am! If you have glasses, you can not only do a good job of relationship with the ministers, but also use these ministers to do the promotion of glasses. Wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money with your own glasses? Thinking of this, Yang Reform laughed "hehe".

"Hehehehe...... Big companion, since Master Sun has opened his mouth, then immediately let people make ten magnifying glasses and send them to Master Xu's mansion. It's a gift to Master Sun. "Yang Reform is really happy, today is not only the harvest of the Academy of Sciences, but also a good way to make money, this is really thanks to Sun Chengzong, send ten magnifying glasses, that's a small meaning!

Sun Chengzong was also frightened by the emperor's "hehehe" and boldness, but he didn't expect to send ten at once.

"Minister...... Thank you, Your Majesty! Sun Chengzong didn't know what to say, so he had to thank him.

"Hehe, no, Master Xu helps me govern the country, and I should use this fresh thing, this thing, I have a lot of ,...... Hehe, by the way, Master Xu, Master Sun chose a baby, you also choose the same, so that it seems fair. "Yang Reform is happy today and is ready to give a big gift. There's no reason to send one master and the other not to!

Xu Guangqi said with a smile: "The minister is grateful to Your Majesty, even so, the minister heard that in His Majesty's palace, someone sent a mechanical grandfather clock, the minister is very interested in this, and is ready to study this mechanical grandfather clock with arithmetic, I don't know if Your Majesty is willing or not." As soon as Xu Guangqi opened his mouth, he asked for a mechanical table clock.

Yang Reform thinks that this Xu Guangqi can really pick a gift! This mechanical clock, he has asked the people of the "Inner Court Ministry of Industry" to study the imitation, but there has been no news, since this Xu Guangqi is very interested in this, to carry out systematic research on this mechanical table clock, then, this is no better. The imitation of this bell, it seems, is just around the corner! But it's another way to make money! God has sent me a lot of good things today! Yang was overjoyed.

"This is no problem at all, I am lacking a master to study this mechanical table clock, I thought, this clock has been shipped all the way from the West to the East, it is better for us to study it ourselves, and we have studied it ourselves, wouldn't it be better than shipping it from the West?" …… Companion, send a few of the table clocks in the palace to Master Xu for Master Xu to study. Yang Reform did not hesitate to give Xu Guangqi a few table clocks.

“…… Thank you, Your Majesty! Xu Guangqi didn't expect the emperor to be so generous, and gave himself a few clocks at once, this one occupies enough space, and he may have to build a few houses to put it! But I still accepted it, because this research mechanical table clock, not a once, one day, one will definitely be able to be studied, since the emperor sent a few more, then accept it, one is not enough, then dismantle a few more.

“…… Hehe, Master Xu don't need to thank you, this grandfather clock, if Master Xu has studied it thoroughly, you can transfer this technology to me, I will give the patent to Master Xu, let Master Xu sit at home and enjoy the patent, how, or it can be miniaturized is better, the clock that can be carried around, I think, it must be a big seller, it must be profitable, so, Master Xu, research out the patent of the grandfather clock or miniaturized grandfather clock, I can book it...... "Yang reformed the dream, in his factory, there is another manufacturer of mechanical grandfather clocks, making watches, pocket watches, you knowIn the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, a good pocket watch is a symbol of a person's identity! A good pocket watch can even be sold for thousands of oceans, this way to make a fortune, no matter what, I will not give up.

Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong looked at each other, this emperor really loves money too much, but he didn't say anything about the emperor, let alone educate the emperor not to love money, they all know that this emperor is not easy, this natural disaster, disaster relief, military salary, shipbuilding, war and military expenses, etc., is really a bottomless hole, the emperor does not make some money, how can this Ming Dynasty be supported.
