Therefore, how to improve Western learning through means as much as possible.

Of course, a lot of so-called Western knowledge in the Ming Dynasty is not yet a shadow of the West today?

In Daming.

Western studies have a more apt name, and that is Xinxue.

Most of the schools that teach scientific knowledge are named after the New School, not Western Studies.

At the same time, the status of Confucianism in the minds of scholars was weakened, and even the outdated notion that learning the Confucian way was the way of officials was diluted.

It is already a major problem that Zhu Youzhen must face.

The abolition of the Bagu article had already aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Northern Confucian forces represented by the Confucian family in Shandong.

But Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything, but just blindly implemented it.

After all, in Zhu Youzhen's view, the only way to do it is to say what to say and what to write.

In order to completely break the embarrassing situation that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, you must know that in the feudal society, the smallest unit of imperial power is the state and county, as for the countryside below, to be honest, it has nothing to do with the emperor.

The only thing that may be related is that these peasants will give a considerable part of their harvest every year, the so-called agricultural tax.

Handed it over to him, the emperor, in fact, in terms of power.

I'm afraid that he, the emperor, is not as effective as those so-called village chiefs, and not as effective as the patriarchs in the family.

The six arts of gentlemen in ancient times, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, to today's eight-strand articles, pedantic concepts, so that almost all the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were imprisoned in such a cage, you must know that the huge Ming Dynasty has such a huge population.

How is it possible that there are no people who are gifted in new learning, that is, in science?

It's just that most of these talents have gone to learn Baguwen...

OK.

The new imperial examination was vigorously pushed downward, although it attracted a lot of criticism against Zhu Youzhen and dissatisfaction with the imperial court.

But in the end, because of the bitter lessons of the Donglin Party, it was in front of it.

There is Wei Zhongxian carrying the pot in front.

There is already the first batch of students, and there is the first batch of students who are systematically studying new studies in the graduate school.

However, when Zhu Youzhen hadn't figured out how to solve Confucianism, another thing made him scratch his scalp with a smile...

..

A few days later, one day, Zhu Youzhen was still reviewing the folds in the East Warm Pavilion.

Everything should be the same as usual, but after a while, he heard Wang Chengen's voice outside the door trying to come in.

"Come in.."

“...”

Wang Chengen, who pushed the door in, was very anxious, and his face was obviously ruddy because he was in a hurry.

Seeing that Wang Chengen was so urgent.

Zhu Youzhen's complexion also sank.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Houjin's Tartar has fought back again?" ”

Wang Chengen shook his head:

"The scale of the rebellion in Canton has expanded?"

Wang Chengen then shook his head.

"What's that? Hurry up! ”

"Back .. Back to the Emperor.. Something happened to the graduate school, those students! Those students are on strike on campus! On the march! ”

Zhu Youzhen's expression was a little sluggish for an instant, and he said slowly: "Engage.. Do you understand why? Quick, don't say anything, prepare, I'll go myself! ”

The closest to the palace is the University of the Royal Academy of Sciences, which has the strongest background.

It is also one of the most important graduate schools for Zhu Youzhen, and most of the students with the best grades in the new imperial examination have entered this graduate school, so Zhu Youzhen has placed it in the best place in the city.

Sit on the dragon chariot.

Zhu Youzhen's heart was still a little uneasy, and he inquired at Wang Chengen, who was not far away, and asked, "Have you found it out?" Why are the students in turmoil..? ”

Graduate school can't have an accident...

As for the reason, it's not just because the main content of graduate school is now that the main content of study is new learning.

In Zhu Youzhen's thoughts.

Of course.. There are also preliminary signs, that is, there will be a major reform of the official system of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The main change is not only to streamline some official positions with overlapping powers, but more importantly, to expand the number of officials in the Ming Dynasty, to increase the positions, and to allow more talents with new knowledge to be used by the imperial court, which is already an irreversible trend.

After all, most of the new bureaus in the Ming Dynasty are still officials who follow the old system.

The fundamental reason is that there are very few people who have mastered new learning in Daming, of course, this can't be blamed on Daming, after all, since ancient times, reading is a very expensive thing, where can ordinary people afford such expenses.

This was not the case with those children who were mostly from the families of merchants, landlords, gentry, or officials.

As soon as they are born, they can almost enjoy the convenience brought by their rich family background, which means that they can already read and memorize poems when other peasant children are still peeing and living mud in the fields at the entrance of the village.

Such a gap cannot be bridged in any way.

Today, the public school set up by Zhu Youzhen has passed the new imperial examination and has gone straight to the new graduate school.

can try his best to reach out to students from poor families for Zhu Youzhen.

The future reform of officials will add a large number of seats, and a large number of officials will be needed, and Zhu Youzhen wants to fill such a gap with students who have completed graduate school.

Regardless of how many years of experience the old system environment there were in the past.

But when the official system is changed, the capable are the mediocre.

is not the material for being an official, and if he can't accept Zhu Youzhen's drastic reforms, he should go home and farm as soon as possible.

Instead of wasting effort on location.

..

Wang Chengen finally recovered his soul and responded to Zhu Youzhen and said, "The emperor.. I heard that it is because there are many graduate students who want to join the Heavenly Tiger Army... But the emperor has already made a will, this student is a student, and he must not be allowed to do anything else."

Zhu Youzhen's face froze, and a big doubt in his heart instantly floated.

These students are going to be soldiers?

Wang Chengen then said: "With your will in front of you, the emperor, how dare the graduate school let these students and scholars go to join the army... The students are dissatisfied. And the march began.."

Zhu Youzhen, who knew the reason, actually looked a lot better.

If that's the case, then it's not really a big deal.

It's just that he is a little strange in his heart, why do so many people want to be soldiers?

However, what he didn't expect was that it was precisely because of the seamless connection between the Graduate School and the Royal Library that more and more books that had been systematically screened and personally selected by him Zhu Youzhen were sent to the field of vision of the students of the Graduate School.

Students.. It's boiling!
