Chapter 170: A New Era

With students, the days in the palace have also become more enjoyable.

After greeting the Queen Mother in the morning, I came back to have breakfast with the foal. After eating early and squinting for a quarter of an hour, it is a lesson for twenty-two people.

Chinese in the morning, mathematics in the afternoon, nature in the afternoon. The nature class should be longer, but the people at this time are too lacking in common sense and their understanding of the nature of the universe is too primitive, so she has to spend a little effort to let these people understand why it rains and snows; Why does the moon have a cloudy circle.

To explain these truths, it is inevitable to use props, which are also prepared in advance. With the teaching mold, everything is much easier to understand.

"When we look at things as they are, it's a learning process. There are hundreds of craftsmen in this world, there are Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism...... Each school of thought has its own unique features that are worth observing. What this palace teaches you is the method of learning things, and I will call it science.

Why such a name? Because I think that knowledge is not only endless, but also should be refined. Why do birds fly? Why do dogs and cats see in the dark? Why do fireworks bloom gorgeously? Why can bows and arrows be fired? Why can the big bell in front of Chengtian Gate walk on its own? Why do we get sick again? ”

Jian Ning looked at a group of students who were already stupid and smiled: "You see, my questions involve livestock, weapons, organs, and medicine...... Therefore, I feel that everything in the world has a reason, existence is reasonable, and we cannot generalize when we observe these things, but we can learn them by dividing them. Various kinds of knowledge are classified by refinement, such as arithmetic, hundred crafts, and the art of war...... Classified research one by one, forming a gradually complete cultural system. Therefore, my study is about the study of discovering, inventing, and creating practices, and it is the study of our human exploration, research, and understanding of the laws of change in the universe......

You may not understand my words very well now, but you only need to look at the soap and hydrosol I make, and you will know that if you learn this thing well, you can make a fortune and help the people of the king. ”

A group of people's eyes lit up when they heard it, although they didn't understand it very well, but it seemed to be very powerful! Niangniang's soap is sold for money how many people can't earn in a few lifetimes, if you learn it well, you can also have that ability?

It's just that the mother's knowledge is really weird. Why do I use the words of the Great Cannibal? That Arabic numeral sounds so weird! But it seems that this makes it much easier to calculate. And the concept of "zero", which is really strange, I have never heard of it before.

In fact, don't say that they haven't heard of it, it's just that many scholars and doctors don't have a concept of this now. In fact, the concept of zero in China was introduced as early as the Song Dynasty, but everyone does not know about non-mathematics.

Now if Jian Ning wants to popularize this concept, he will start with the twenty-two people in front of him. Janine also encouraged them to teach their little friends math and words. In later generations, China's ability to eradicate illiteracy so efficiently is actually inseparable from the original assistance policy.

When the country is in a difficult time, it calls on everyone to help each other and give each other a word to read, which is much more efficient and saves a lot of education costs, which is exactly what Daming needs at the moment.

The Ming people are not stupid, in fact they are very smart, and they are also very hard-biting. But the more cold he was born, the more he craved knowledge. As for these people in front of her, although they don't live in their palace now, Jian Ning heard that they have all reviewed very seriously after they went back, and the degree of diligence is far beyond her imagination.

Looking at these people, she will think of the words of that kind old man: study for the rise of China!

My eyes moisten every time I think about it.

It is precisely because of the countless people who studied for the rise of China that they have the prosperity of later generations. Now Daming also needs such people, the twenty-two people in front of him are not simple people, they are the hope of the future.

The seeds are planted, she has to take care of them, she believes that even if she is in the deep palace, there will always be a day, these seeds will sprout, grow into towering trees, and shine the entire Ming Dynasty!

She teaches very hard and goes out of her way to answer students' questions every day. It is important that education in the future is a process of cultivating logic! That's what the Ming people lack!

In a blink of an eye, in the summer and May of the ninth year of Zhengde, Daming's navigation career became more and more prosperous. And in this month, Jian Ning became pregnant again, and eight months later, in the spring of the following year, she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

This is gratifying to the Queen Mother and Zhengde, the Queen Mother personally issued an edict and named Jian Ning as a concubine; Three months later, the Son of Heaven issued an edict again, promoting Jian Ning to the imperial concubine, the same as the deputy queen, and assisting the affairs of the queen's six palaces.

The first imperial concubine in the true sense of the Ming Dynasty was born in this way, but for Jian Ning, the days did not seem to make any difference. She is not a person who likes to work hard to manage things, she said that she is the assistant of the sixth palace, but in fact, she is still the shopkeeper, which makes the queen, who has always been a little nervous, breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoice that she has a good life, and the imperial concubine she met is really a good person, not like Wan Guifei.

In this way, the relationship between the two became more and more harmonious. And Jian Ning had to teach and write books, so the queen took the initiative to take on the task of educating two princes and one princess.

Jian Ning knew the queen's thoughts, but she also felt that there was nothing to blame, how could a person not plan for himself when he was alive? Ju'er is in good health, just like his father, if nothing else, he is the next successor of the Ming Dynasty, how can the queen be stupid enough to fight with the successor?

The queen was amused by her children, and Concubine Xian and Concubine De were not willing to be lonely. Always run to the queen's palace when you have nothing to do, Xia is also kind, the three of them get together and play with a baby every day, and the queen's Kunning Palace directly becomes a playground. She also had people make Trojan horses, all kinds of exercise equipment, in her words, to prepare them first and use them later.

After Jian Ning designed a set of skateboards, she was even happier, the child didn't play, she played by herself, and she didn't have the style of a mother of the country.

However, the harmony of the heavenly family is also what the courtiers like to see. Seeing that the imperial concubine was still low-key, she was also relieved.

With Wan Guifei's negative textbook in front, Jian Ning's teaching eunuchs and maids to read in the palace has become an acceptable thing. People just have this little fun, don't you still let it be human?

Ten years have passed in Zhengde, the wind and waves are calm, and the whole country is showing a thriving state, and Liu Jian, who once again told the old man and returned to his hometown, walked with tears in his eyes. A few days after returning to his hometown, he smiled in his dreams. Before dying, he left a note: This life is enough to live to see the coming of prosperity!

Liu Jian left, and Li Dongyang also returned to his hometown. His body is no longer enough to deal with the current complex state affairs, and the newly appointed first assistant is not Xie Qian, but Yang Tinghe. A month after Yang Tinghe took over as the first assistant, Xie Qian also returned to his hometown.

He is also sixty-six years old, and it is time to go home to recuperate. Times have changed, and it's no longer something he can handle. The younger generation is more suitable than them to stay here, to accompany His Majesty to a more glorious glory.

Xie Qian's farewell to the old man and his return to his hometown seems to mean the end of an old era, and those words about the revival of the first emperor have also come to an abrupt end, and the era that truly belongs to Zhengde has come!

It's going to be like never before! Daming can't see a single beggar! After several years of promotion, sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes have been popularized throughout the Ming Dynasty, and the people no longer have to worry about hunger!

And the large factories that have been opened one after another in various places are not to say beggars, but women are tempted to work. Especially the textile, silk reeling industry!

It was a labor-intensive industry that required a lot of people, especially women! In this way, some women who were not willing to be "lonely" quietly entered the factory, opening a real chapter in the women's liberation movement!

An era has ended, an era is opening again, Wei Bin, who is sitting in the Imperial Horse Prison, is like ashes, after Yang Tinghe ascended to the throne, the first thing is to target him and Jiang Bin, if he doesn't leave, the end will definitely be worse than Liu Jin.

The monstrous power is about to be lost, how can he be willing? It's useless to be willing to be unwilling. This time, it is not so much Yang Tinghe who wants to rectify him, but the queen.

Bian Zhong's matter made the queen disgraced for a while, and after giving Zhang Yong some hints, Zhang Yong found Yang Tinghe again, and the two hit it off, so Wei Bin was unlucky.

Being too high-profile is always a miserable death.

In the autumn of the tenth year of Zhengde, Wei Bin left the capital in a gloomy manner and went home to "recuperate".

When he left, no one sent him off, how could this once powerful eunuch not figure out why he was cheated by his son?

The world is impermanent, and so is it, right? No one cares about Wei Bin's loss, people are more concerned about how much money they have earned today, and whether they can buy a bottle of hydrosol for their mother-in-law during the Chinese New Year this year......

The days of the Ming Dynasty were booming, and in the spring of the eleventh year of Zhengde, a merchant ship came alone and docked at the port of Guangzhou.

Immediately, the whole Daming was completely hilarious!

This battered civilian merchant ship is the same ship that set out many years ago in search of a new ocean. After several years of exploration and wandering, they finally figured out that the continent they found was really the legendary Australia!

The navigation charts and the general features of the continent have been recorded, which is the first overseas continent found by the Ming Dynasty.

There have been many islands in the South China Sea before, but for a vast empire, that is not enough!

It's not without opposition from the Asari, but now Jeongtoku can rest assured! This continent can shut everyone's mouths! The exact size is still not clear, anyway, these businessmen have captured a group of natives to help them work, and small towns have been built there, if the Ming Dynasty increases its development efforts, it will be a real expansion of territory!

Zhengde, who received the folds, was excitedly chattering all night, tossing and turning, and after a while, he got up again, lit and waited to see those surveying and mapping, the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and couldn't help shouting: "Daughter-in-law, get up, you come and see, they estimate that this fast place is as big as our two or three provinces!" This, what a big place! ”
