Chapter 122: The Renaissance

The academic controversy is more of a continuation of the political struggle, and its real catalyst is the establishment of the newspapers of various academics, because of the rise of the newspapers, which has led to the participation of more people, and indirectly made the contradictions between the two sides more intense. ``. ``

The industrial revolution in the West is also the result of the Renaissance, and it is more accurate to say that there would be no industrial revolution in the West without the Renaissance. It is impossible for Zhu Jun to let a group of nerds who only know how to read dead books lead a group of illiterate people to make some kind of renaissance. Therefore, the role of Di Bao came into being, all kinds of Confucianism argued with each other, learned from each other to survive, although debate could not find the truth, at least it could lead to human thinking, thinking is the source of human progress.

For Zhu Jun, Cheng Zhu Lixue is the basis of public opinion under feudal rule, although it is old, but it cannot be suppressed. Donglin is the backbone of the reader, although the majority of them sit on empty talk and toss, but also cultivated a group of direct ministers who are not afraid of death, and the influence of the six gentlemen of Donglin on the Donglin Party is not far-reaching. Since its birth, this tributary of Confucianism has derived democratic ideas, such as the idea of industry and commerce, non-monarchy, the scientific spirit of attaching importance to natural science, and the awakening of citizens, and the slogan advocated is very similar to the Renaissance trend in the West.

There is nothing wrong with the principles of industry and commerce, democratic thought, attaching importance to natural science, and awakening citizens, and it is also the most suitable trend of thought in the embryonic period of capitalism in the late Ming Dynasty.

The question is. In the later period of Xinxue, he even put forward the slogan that the emperor is a pest and the people are the masters of the country, which is tantamount to a time bomb for Zhu Jun, a feudal emperor. Perhaps one day someone will break into the palace and take the lives of themselves or their descendants, and the blood will teach them a lesson, and the necks of Louis XVI and Nicholas II are still alive, and in the far east, the new emperor cannot walk ahead of them.

O iniquity! Zhu Jun sighed, and it was even more difficult to choose, the rise of oriental civilization and the Renaissance are inseparable. The Renaissance was the catalyst of the Industrial Revolution, but it was also a stone hanging over Zhu Jun's head, and maybe one day the stone would fall down and smash him to pieces.

Reform is imminent. Zhu Jun planned to carry out drastic reforms, and not only the thinking of the army but also the thinking of the students should be controlled.

"Preaching, ever since. The college adopts closed management, and can take turns to take two days off every month before going to the street, Xinxue College can take the first and second days of the first and second days of each month, Cheng Zhu College can go on the street on the third and fourth days of the first month, and Donglin College can go on the street on the fifth and sixth days of the first month. If a student violates the law and leaves the academy without permission, he will be withdrawn from the school immediately and will never be hired. ”

The first decree is to fight for the tribute students of the various academies and stagger their rest times. Let these three colleges never intersect like parallel lines. Disputes are objectively eliminated. "I have heard that there are still no textbooks in the academies, and that teaching is entirely based on the teachings. Is it? Zhu Jun began to play with the idea of a textbook.

"Textbooks? Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't understand what this thing is. His Highness's ministers were full of doubts. The head of the Ministry of Rites, who was in charge of education, asked.

Zhu Jun smiled slyly: "At that time, you will know that after the dispersal of the dynasty, let all the people from the Ministry of Industry stay, and I will design a textbook for the Gongsheng." ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the head of the seven or eight Ministry of Industry stayed behind, and was pulled by Zhu Jun to the Cold Winter Pavilion for a meeting for half an hour before leaving the palace.

Half a month later, a batch of books full of ink fragrance to the hands of each Gongsheng, the textbook is divided into three styles, respectively, Cheng Zhuxue, Donglin Studies, three kinds of Xinxue, and there is another kind of enlightenment textbook, no matter which type of textbook, the first page of the book is a portrait of Zhu Jun wearing a crown dress and sitting on the ground, the portrait is flanked by the words "Long live the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty", in addition to the texts to be taught, there are also some small stories interspersed. For example, when the great Emperor Xinshi was a child, he was still the son of King Gui, and when His Royal Highness was very young, he was able to care about the people's suffering, and one day he carried a hoe to the Houhua Courtyard to experience the hardships of the people, and accidentally cut down the cherry tree in the courtyard, and his father King Gui was very angry when he saw it. His Royal Highness realized his mistake and took the initiative to admit it, and His Royal Highness King Gui not only did not blame, but praised the honesty of the prince.

Although it is a very small story, it is also written in the afterword that this praise of His Royal Highness King Gui had a profound impact on the prince, so that King Gui developed a good habit of being diligent in government, loving the people and honest when he ascended the throne as the great new emperor.

This is Zhu Jun based on Washington's short story adaptation, he has had different degrees of research on the world's leaders, to his surprise, all leaders have a striking similarity, that is, they all have a similar kind of small story written into the textbook, the use of enlightenment to establish the prestige of the imperial power in the later generations may be scolded on the street, but that is the future of the world, as the leader of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jun must be mythologized, become a saint with countless good qualities.

Of course, the cultivation of nationalism is also essential, and the 10th of Yangzhou, the 3rd of Jiangyin, the 3rd Massacre of Jiading, and the Liaodong Massacre are all recorded in the Persuasion Chapter. In addition, the school has also made a new rule, all teachings must stand solemnly before teaching, and ask, "Why does the husband study?" What's the name? Lihu? ”

The tribute students should stand up collectively and say in unison: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and tens of thousands of compatriots are caught in the fire and water of the homeland. ”

Immediately after the three shouts, the crowd was able to sit down and give a lecture.

The Gongsheng had stabilized for the time being, and the atmosphere of sabre-rattling had long since been lost, and at this time, 20,000 newly recruited Central Army began to gather in the valley and train under the leadership of hundreds of veterans drawn from various battalions.

Zhu Jun personally sat in the overseer, and a canopy had already been erected above his head, and the guards brought him benches and tables, poured herbal tea, and not far away, 20,000 recruits stood still in an untidy queue.

This is the most basic military posture training, but also the threshold to test the recruits, a whole morning, in the scorching sun, everyone must stand upright, slightly twisted if the veteran who is holding a long ruler around is now a beating, many people have lost sensation in their legs, in order to be less beaten, forced to grit their teeth to endure, the most unbearable is the scorching sun in the sky, drops of sweat down the forehead, through the eyebrows into the eyes, everyone is soaked all over.

Zhu Jun sat leisurely on the chair, on the coffee table next to him was a Lei recital, and Zhu Jun held a gold pen and lazily gave instructions.

Five more people died during the construction of the Chi Road in Dingnan Province, Zhu Jun couldn't help frowning, what did the political envoy eat? Zhu Jun shook his head, and used a red pen to give instructions on the proper placement of family members, and then put the music aside.

Since the construction of the road, the provinces have opened mountains and bridges to rush to work, more than 100 laborers have died, if it were not for the sufficient food and salary of the imperial court, and the placement of family members is also quite appropriate, there may be some chaos, Zhu Jun was depressed, picked up a newspaper on the table and read it, and suddenly, he was attracted by a few big black characters.

Huang Derong, a student of Xinxue, was successful in improving textile wheels. Zhu Jun looked down seriously, it turned out that a tribute student of Xinxue improved the spinning wheel in the textile workshop, which increased the effect several times, and also simplified a certain process.

But when Zhu Jun picked up another copy of the newspaper, it was not the same thing at all, this was Cheng Zhu Dibao's remarks, first denounced the Gongsheng's strange and obscene skills, and then scolded Xinxue for not teaching the students the study of saints, but instead connived at Gongsheng to study the sideways, and a page full of verbal criticism.

There are a lot of scientists in the history of psychology, and they are related to industry and commerce, natural science, at this time the Han people's scientific and technological capabilities are still far ahead of the world, Zhu Jun is not to build a certain machine, forge a few rifles, or research out some kind of machine tools, he is an emperor, the emperor is not a craftsman, not a scientist, not a businessman, he only needs to open up a few national policies, dredge the atmosphere of the society, there will be countless scientists, craftsmen to emerge, leading the trend of the times.

Now the effect has come out, and recently the Di Bao of Xinxue has continuously written articles on someone's improvement and understanding of certain items, such as horse-drawn carriages, textile machines, and firecrackers, whether it is daily necessities or industrial fields.

Zhu Jun's mood was a little brighter, he summoned a guard, pointed to the mansion and reported: "Go, reward five hundred taels of silver to this tribute student, by the way, go to the Heart Academy to have a look, let the head of the academy write a reward clause, but anyone who understands something, can go to the household department to apply for a reward, I can't treat these tribute students badly." The guard answered, and trotted away.

"Your Majesty, look at that, I've fainted again, hehe!" Katsumiko's high-pitched voice was tinged with a scream of schadenfreude.

Zhu Jun looked in the direction of Xiao Guizi's finger, only to see a soldier standing in the distance standing on the ground, and several veterans of the inspection put the long ruler on their waists and went over to help him.

Zhu Jun gave this gloating dead eunuch a white look, the eunuch is a very strange creature, he may be very loyal to his master, but because of psychopaths, he is very happy to see others unlucky.

Zhu Jun stood up, looked at the queue, and said to Xiao Guizi on the side: "Go, see what's going on." ”

Xiao Guizi restrained his treacherous face and hurriedly went.

Soon, Xiao Guizi came back to report: "Your Majesty, that person is thin and weak, and he can't stand the heat for a while, I'm afraid he has fainted from the sun, and a few soldiers are pouring cold water on him." ”

Zhu Jun nodded and said, "You go again, and let someone help him to rest here." ”

"Huh? This doesn't seem to be a proper system, Your Majesty. The smile on Xiao Guizi's face froze, and she was a little overwhelmed.
