Chapter 317: Yan Da

Mean, shameless, filthy, inhuman......

This is the evaluation of the officials of the capital to the Jiajing Emperor, of course, this kind of evaluation only dares to be put in the heart, who dares to show it in ordinary times, what if Tianyan knows?

The effect of killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys is perfect, and since then the Martyrs' Shrine has become a forbidden place for Beijing officials, and it is impossible for them to get off the sedan chair to show respect for any martyr and martial artist.

Since you can't, take a detour!

To put it mildly, you can't afford to provoke it, and you can afford to hide!

With a satisfied smile, Zhu Houwei stepped into the door of Yenching University.

Yenching University occupies an extremely large area, similar to the later Peking University, with a library, playground, recreation area, accommodation area and teaching area.

The teaching area is divided into primary school, middle school, high school and even university school.

The regulations are neat and orderly, but perhaps because teaching has not yet officially begun, the reading atmosphere on campus is not strong.

Those children who have not been enlightened will only frolic in the school all day long, and here they will not worry about food or clothing, and they will naturally give full play to the nature that should belong to children.

And those children and talents like to stay in their dormitories, without the pressure of life, they can naturally immerse all their minds in books, looking forward to the day when they can be named on the gold list and be able to get ahead.

For the secular world, for the officialdom full of deceit, Yenching University is a pure land, where there is no clear hierarchy of Guozijian, and there is no rich or poor.

Today is the day of the opening ceremony of Yenching University, even the naughty children cannot continue to play, the whole campus is quiet, all the students gather on the playground, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Son of Heaven.

This is the glory and may be the only opportunity to meet the holy face in this life, and the ignorant children may not feel it too deeply, but those who read ......

Monarchs and ministers, fathers, fathers and sons, the code of ethics is often implanted in the bones of every scholar, how can the arrival of the Son of Heaven not make them excited and uncontrollable.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

After all, the students in the playground couldn't hold back, and they all fell to their knees.

Zhu Houwei walked to the rostrum on the playground without hurrying, and in addition to Ren Xing's companion, there were only seven elders in the cabinet.

There is a loudspeaker on the rostrum, the horn is not primitive, the production is not complicated, it is nothing more than the use of magnetic fields, of course, compared with later generations, it is really simple and pitiful.

Zhu Houwei's eyes slowly scanned the entire playground, thinking that he had run a school in Yongwangfu in order to one day make those children become the seeds of new learning.

Yongwangfu Academy has cultivated more than 3,000 students in eight years, of which nearly 30% have successfully graduated and begun to contribute their knowledge in all walks of life.

And here, there are nearly 2,000 students in one session, and there will inevitably be more in each session in the future, ten years later, when batches of Yan University students leave here, they will become elites from all walks of life, and then completely change the Ming Dynasty and change the world.

Zhu Houwei never questioned this!

"Let's be flat." Zhu Houwei's words are Tianxian, and the students who knelt all over the playground got up one after another, even the most active children, stood like a benchmark at this time.

This is not because they are in awe of the imperial power, and even the concept of imperial power is ignorant to them, for them in the past, they were fed, clothed, not sick, and growing up alive is the only pursuit, not to mention the emperor, even the county officials are too far away from them.

But all the children were warned that if anyone dared to speak on this day, and who stood crookedly, they would be cleared out of Yenching University!

No child can afford to do this, so they are honestly a mess at this time.

Zhu Houwei had a smile on his face, as an emperor, he didn't need to be too close to the people, but since he led his ministers to the opening ceremony of Yan University, he naturally had to say something.

"I once thought that I must build a academy in Daming, and this academy must become the top university in Daming.

Eight years ago, I took in Huzhou, and in order to realize my ambition, I took in hundreds of children in the Yongwang Mansion, provided them with food and clothing, and taught them to read and reason.

In order to one day when they are successful in their studies, they can contribute their meager strength to the Ming Dynasty and my imperial brother, so that she can become seeds, take root and sprout in the land of the Ming Dynasty, and then blossom everywhere.

Reading the classics and serving the court is the goal that every scholar diligently pursues.

Scholars know the meaning of the sage and know how to govern the country, but it is not only the government that makes up the world, the responsibility of the government is to govern the place well, sue the people, redress grievances, and collect taxes......

But these are not enough, if the world is a big tree, then the reader is the branch of this big tree, and all walks of life in the world are the branches and leaves.

Whether the tree is prosperous or not, the first impression is whether the leaves are dense enough, the denser the leaves, the more prosperous the tree, in other words, whether the world is strong, depends on whether all walks of life are prosperous.

Why do I want to promote the study of the world, why do I want to build this Yenching University?

Because of this world, the world I am talking about is not the world of the Ming Dynasty, but the real world!

There are still many countries like the Ming Dynasty in this world, they may not be as strong as the Ming Dynasty, but if the Ming Dynasty cannot make changes with each passing day, or even just follow the rules and stagnate, then sooner or later it will be surpassed by the foreign countries! ”

Many important ministers who came with Zhu Houwei showed disapproving looks, for them, the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, the center of this world, the so-called foreign countries are just barbarians, why worry?

Only the seven elders of the cabinet showed thoughtful expressions, and with their understanding of the emperor, they knew that today's son was not a lord who liked to brag nonsense, let alone a lord who would destroy his own prestige and grow the ambition of others.

The cabinet elders have been to Tongzhou and have been deeply shocked, so it can be said that if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, many things would have been hard for them to believe, even if you said it clearly.

But seeing is believing, and too many things in Tongzhou Industrial Park that make them think impossible appear so vividly in front of their eyes, so that they have no way to disbelieve it, let alone question it.

To create a place like an industrial park, Emperor Jiajing can imagine how far-sighted and sagacious he is, so what the emperor just said should not be untargeted.

So the question is, is there really a city-state in this world that is advanced enough to threaten the Ming Dynasty?
