Five days later, a sea ship returned to the west, and Chen Enze wrote a letter of Zhao Shuhan's request and sent the ship to Jiangning.

"This elm pimple, I finally bowed my head......" Song Jia sat on the side case, opened Chen Enze's letter, looked at the matter of Zhao Shuhan written in the letter, and handed it to Lin Jian with a smile.

Lin Jian took the letter, read it carefully, was silent for a long time, turned into a light sigh, took a charcoal pen, and directly replied after the letter, and said to Song Jia while writing: "Shu Han is a person, and I can't do it; What he and Zhang Yubo stubbornly adhered to was not the imperial system, but the law and order, so they opposed my usurpation of power and power. Before leaving, Zhang Yubo also persuaded me to be a powerful minister, and to treat Yuan Yue as a puppet, which would not hinder the reputation of future generations; Although the speech is ridiculous, it is different from Liu Tingzhou. That's why I kicked them to Jeju, because I want them to understand that the new empire will only become more prosperous in my hands, and will not be mixed with lawless chaos and bloody killing...... Shu Han wanted to display his ambitions and couldn't let go of his fame, but he didn't know that he wanted to be the grandmaster of the new school, and he could make him famous for eternity. Now he seems to have figured it out, so let him talk about the stargazing platform that he has been guarding in Jeju for ten years! ”

"Ten years, you're really ruthless." Song Jia raised his head, looked at Lin Jian with bright eyes, and laughed at him for still showing no mercy to Zhao Shuhan.

"Ten years is long?" Lin Jian asked, smiling again, "The time difference between the eclipse and the stargazing scope for the observation of celestial phenomena can only shake the old theory of the heart of the heavens and the earth; It is only possible to establish a new doctrine if such a knowledgeable and thoughtful genius as Shu Han observes and thinks about celestial phenomena for a long time! Ten years is only enough to lay a foundation, and future generations need to go forward and improve it one after another - the only requirement I put forward to them is not to be confined to the old learning, speculation is important, but it is not the only foundation of learning; Whether the old and new theories are the essence or the dross, we should try our best to verify them with experiments and empirical measurements......"

Of course, Lin Jian knew the astronomical conclusion that the nine planets orbited the sun, but he only knew what it was, and he didn't know why—the doctrines that didn't know why they were all foundationless and towers on the sand.

To establish a new school, Lin Jian knew that he couldn't rely on him, he could only rely on Jiang Yue, Song Shixian, Zhao Shuhan and other people with great intelligence in the world, and he could only pull out the fog in front of them at the right time, so that they could see more clearly and not take the wrong path.

Lin Jian stopped thinking for a while, and said: "There is a glazed kiln in Jeju, but there is no mirror polishing master, so I asked the workshop to supervise two senior mirror grinding craftsmen and some apprentices to go to Jeju for Shu Han to use. The stargazing telescope is the first production, which is very crude, Shu Han made up his mind to guard the stargazing platform, and the technology of the stargazing telescope should be able to make great progress in his hands. And Jiang Yue and Song Shixian have a lot of miscellaneous affairs, so they may not be able to concentrate on this matter. In addition, Shu Han should set up a school in Jeju, and if he wants his children to join him, he should do his best to teach the new school, and he should also ask Si Ze to give all the conveniences......"

Although Lin Jian has set up new schools and higher levels in Jiangning and other places, it is basically the universal education of new schools. At present, the work of truly researching and developing new studies is mainly done by the group of scholars and bachelors of Chongxuekan.

Compared with the population of 50 million and the number of literate people in the millions, only 30 or 40 people are doing research work in the new school, which is really too little, too little.

Although the group of craftsmen is very large, except for the thirty or fifty personalities, the vast majority of craftsmen do not have a high level of education. More of them are only limited to the inheritance of traditional craftsmanship, and they do not meet the ultra-high requirements for developing new learning on the basis of traditional craftsmanship.

On the basis of traditional craftsmanship, summarizing, researching, and developing new learnings that flourish can only rely on the enlightened intellectuals of the scholar class, who are able to accept new things, and who are not confined to tradition.

Therefore, in addition to being a very high honor, the bachelor's degree of Chongxue Hall also has the privilege of opening a school.

Lin Jian specially pulled out the silver money from the inner government to support the opening of the Chongxue Hall and the recruitment of disciples, and to engage in research work on new learning and craftsmanship together; and authorized the scholars of the Chongxue Hall to recommend their children to supplement the officials.

On the surface, it is said that the scholar of the Chongxue Pavilion is only an honorary title, but he has the right to recommend his subordinates to make up for the officials, and this privilege is terrifying. Although the decision to make up officials is still in the Privy Council, but if you are recommended by the scholars of the Chongxue Pavilion, you will be qualified to be an official, which is actually equivalent to the promotion of the scientific examination.

At the moment when the government is in power, only senior civil and military generals such as the governor and the military officials officially have the right to recommend. Although this is only a temporary measure, the attraction of officials to the world is obviously different.

Sun Dalu, a bachelor from a humble background, was generally despised by the current reading class, but Jiang Yue and Song Shixian themselves were born in the imperial examination, whether it was new learning or old learning, learning was rare in the world.

In the past, there were a lot of scholars gathered in Jiangning, and when Chen Xiyan first gave lectures at the Xixi Society, there were thousands of listeners.

With the death of Chen Xiyan, the punishment of Wang Xueshan, and the resignation of Yu Xinyuan, and the old backbone of the Wu Party such as Haiyu Chen were completely integrated into Huaidong, the Xixi Society also completely declined.

At present, the door of scientific research is closed, although many scholars have returned to their hometowns in discouragement, but there are still thousands of scholars who remain in Jiangning, and there is no way out. After the abolition of the gentry's privileges in the past, some of them even had problems with their livelihood in Jiangning.

Although the Privy Council Election Department also openly recruits officials, the questions have nothing to do with the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and texts, and are all subject questions in agricultural administration, industrial manufacturing, legal system, tax calculation, etc., how can a self-professed and graceful scholar answer?

There are also those who follow crooked ways, but Lin Lian's energy is extraordinary, and he will meet almost all the scholars who should take the exam to make up for the officials. In March, a fraud case was discovered, and the official who presided over the recruitment examination ordered Lin to be sentenced to exile; Although Lin Mengde, who was also the leader of the election department, did not know about it, he also fined Lin Jian for a quarter of salary, and Lin Jian finally reappointed his eldest grandson Geng, who had been following him since Jiangning, to lead the election department, so that the case was settled.

For the scholars who stayed in Jiangning, entering the new school, learning new studies such as agricultural administration, industrial construction, legal system, tax calculation, etc., and then taking the examination to make up for the officials, it was considered an open way out, but for many scholars with meritorious reputation, they really couldn't wipe their faces to join the new school.

As soon as the example of opening a school opened, there were hundreds of people who wanted to join Jiang Yue and Song Shixian's disciples in a short period of time.

In fact, Zhao Shuhan has a history of nearly ten years of teaching miscellaneous studies in Jiangning Zhutang, so that the new school can be regarded as taking root in the hearts of Jiangning scholars, although Zhao Shuhan did not officially open the school, but the supporters in Jiangning are definitely not less than Jiang Yue and Song Shixian.

This is also a reason why Song Shixian was selected as a scholar of Chongxueguan University and Zhao Shuhan was not included in the list, which made the public opinion of Jiangning scholars surging.

Song Jia listened to Lin Lian's words and knew that although he would not directly include Zhao Shuhan in the Chongxue Museum, he still supported Zhao Shuhan to open a school in Jeju, and said with a smile: "If this matter is to be publicized in Jiangning, there should be dozens of scholars who will go to the east to follow, and maybe a new school can be formed in Jeju......"

"This is also a good thing, in academics, only by paying attention to the contention of a hundred schools of thought, can we prosper," Lin Jian said, "This is also what Shu Han deserves from preaching miscellaneous studies in Jiangning for ten years." "He is a supporter of the formation of a new school in Jeju centered on Cho Shuhan.

"The reality of the hypocrisy", these four words are simple to say, but when implemented, it is by no means a simple thing, involving all aspects of society, involving the development of productive forces and whether the enlightenment of the people's wisdom can be adapted to the "reality of the hypocrisy", otherwise it will be a great disaster.

Lin Jian is also walking on thin ice and cautious.

"Daddy, Daddy!"

Lin Jian and Song Jia were talking, a girl broke into the study, the blue and green leno skirt seemed to dye the room with a fiery early summer color, she broke in, saw Song Jia in the room, and busily gathered herself to give a salute: "Zhengjun has seen his aunt and wife......

"Aunt is aunt, inexplicably add another lady, but you can call me a student......" Song Jia said with a smile.

Lin Jian took the sweaty Zhengjun who was playing in the garden in his arms, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and asked, "What's the matter, breaking in with a fuss?" ”

"My uncle came over, and my mother asked me to see if my father was free...... "Zhengjun said.

Hearing that Gu Siyuan was coming into the house, Lin Jian put it in the pen and walked to Yizheng Garden, where Gu Junxun lived daily, with Zhengjun's small hand.

After giving Jiuxi, Lin Jian combined the power of the military, government and financial officials, and was actually the lord of the Southern Dynasty.

Compared with the status of the lord of the country, the pattern of the government is somewhat narrow.

Lin Jian is not a very frugal person, he can even understand that some new technologies and new materials can only be well promoted if he uses them first, "up and down".

After the year, the Inner Government specially allocated 200,000 silver dollars to merge the first groups of people's courts in the west of the Guogong Mansion to expand the Guogong Mansion, which nearly doubled the pattern of the Guogong Mansion than before; Gu Junxun's daughters also lived in separate hospitals.

Not only were new slurries such as Borneo ash used in the construction of the Imperial Palace, but glass lamps were also used on a large scale to illuminate the courtyard, and the window paper was abolished and transparent glass sheets were used instead......

Although the expanded palace is not particularly majestic and gorgeous, the comfort is much better than before.
