"Uncle Guo! Please tell the emperor, can you not let your son lead this thunder and lightning! ”

At this time, Wei Zhongxian was pinching a wire about the thickness of a kite string, flying a kite that had flown into the dark clouds, and tremblingly pleaded with Zhang Gui who entered the palace.

It turned out that Tianqi had deepened his interest in thunder and lightning since the last time he saw Li Jin'an and Lu Shanji being killed by thunder and lightning on the Daming Gate.

Therefore, Apocalypse had the idea of collecting thunder and lightning for his own use.

But Tianqi also knew the power of thunder and lightning, so he didn't dare to try it himself, but let Wei Zhongxian try it, and he himself commanded on the side.

So, when Zhang Gui was summoned to the palace that day, he saw Wei Zhongxian flying a metal kite.

And because of this, Wei Zhongxian, who knew the power of thunder and lightning, and already knew that iron wire could attract thunder and lightning, pleaded with Zhang Gui after Zhang Gui came.

It's just that Zhang Gui didn't have time to respond to Wei Zhongxian, and Tianqi came over at this time and gave a kick to the back of Wei Zhongxian's buttocks: "Be serious!" Don't be mistaken about me! ”

"Hey!"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly agreed.

After the apocalypse kicked Wei Zhongxian, he took out a glass bottle filled with metal and water, and smiled at Zhang Gui: "Since thunder and lightning are really just naturally existing electricity, not immortal things, I have devised a method to collect these heavenly thunderbolts. ”

As he spoke, Tianqi shook the glass bottle in his hand and said to Zhang Guiyan: "This is the thing!" I have installed a spherical electrode at the mouth of the bottle, and put a thin iron sheet underneath it, and a conductor in the middle, and you can see if you can collect the thunder and lightning in the sky. ”

Zhang Gui glanced at it and found that the glass bottle in Tianqi's hand was similar to the Laitun bottle that he saw in physics class in later generations, and he couldn't help but think that his majesty the emperor really had some talent in creating inventions, so quickly he thought of making such a thing, and he really thought of collecting electricity by flying kites, but the key was that he didn't take the initiative at all this time.

Because Zhang Gui was really worried that the Apocalypse would be due to a scientific researcher's desire for the laws of nature, and he really had to take the risk of doing so, and if there was really any accident to the Apocalypse, he would not be able to bear this responsibility.

Therefore, Zhang Gui did not mention the famous Franklin experiment in later generations.

But Zhang Gui didn't expect the clever Emperor of the Apocalypse to think of it first.

After all, who is the Apocalypse, among the emperors of all dynasties, he should be regarded as an emperor who likes to study science more than Kangxi.

Although Kangxi became the first emperor of the ages in history, he only won the title of carpenter emperor.

But after all, Apocalypse loves to study science, so naturally he will not be constrained by Zhang Gui, but only rely on the science and technology tree that Zhang Gui wants to order.

"It's good, the minister can't see if this bottle will work, but if you try it, you'll know."

Zhang Gui replied.

Tianqi nodded: "So, I will let Wei Zhongxian try it with me." ”

Zhang Gui nodded and glanced at the poor Wei Zhongxian.

The apocalypse here is still in the future because of the thunder and lightning, and it is only dark clouds at present, so he continued to chat with Zhang Gui and asked: "After Li Jin'an and these people were killed by thunder and lightning, what was the reaction outside?" ”

"The response was very great, and the Confucian students of Fang Yizhi came to visit the Humble House, saying that they were transferring to practical learning."

Zhang Gui replied.

After hearing this, Tianqi laughed: "This is good, spread this matter to the world, so that the number of readers who try to deny everything I have done in the way of old learning will be greatly reduced. ”

"Your Majesty said yes, but in the opinion of the minister, this is not enough!"

Zhang Gui said at this time.

Tianqi looked at Zhang Gui and asked, "What else do you have to do?" ”

"It is necessary to popularize education to the whole people, so that all Han people in the world can receive a new education, understand why the old learning and the old system will be reformed, let them know Your Majesty's efforts, and let the Han people in the world really have the ability to think independently, and then be able to distinguish between Your Majesty and Your Majesty's statecraft, which is really praised!"

"Only in this way, conservatives with ulterior motives can even be said to be reactionaries, even if they hide it deeply now, they will not be able to use rhetoric to coax the Han people who have opened Su Hui in the future, and it is impossible to discredit Your Majesty."

Zhang Guiyan said.

After hearing this, Tianqi thought it was very true, and said: "You are right, since you mentioned that the Ming Dynasty should attach importance to the cultivation of the national character and national consciousness of the Han people, I have also realized more and more that if the Ming Dynasty wants to prosper and break the fate of the previous dynasties, it can only rely on the majority of Han people to transfer the contradictions outward, and this requires me to mobilize all the Han people, and to mobilize them, we have to make them smart." ”

"Your Majesty! But EFA costs a lot of money. After all, the cost of government schools alone is not low, and now if you add universal education for all, it will definitely cost more, because if you want the people to be willing to let their children go to school and study, it is impossible to think about making money from the people, and you have to make the people feel that sending their children to school and studying is better than staying at home to work. ”

Zhang Guiyan said.

After hearing this, Tianqi said, "Of course I know that this will increase a lot of national spending. In this case, you can ask Han Yi to convene all the ministers to discuss it together and see how much national money is expected to be spent every year if education for all is implemented, and whether it can be covered with the current national treasury revenue. ”

"Yes!"

Rumble!

"Emperor, Thunder is here!"

At this time, Wei Zhongxian called.

Tianqi didn't pay attention to Zhang Gui anymore, but went to Wei Zhongxian: "Wait for me to collect!" ”

Zhang Gui here discussed the matter of education for all with his ministers on the second day.

"Education for All?"

He thought that with the current treasury reserves of the imperial court, if he was frugal, he might be able to continue the prosperity to the next dynasty or even the next dynasty, but if he followed such a way of engaging in cultural governance and martial arts today, he was afraid that the Zhongxing of the Apocalypse Dynasty would fall into the financial predicament of the treasury again after 20 years.

"That's right, it is to set up a large number of literacy classes, so that Bai Ding can read and write, and at the same time let every child of the Han family have to complete a certain number of years of compulsory education, the so-called compulsory education, that is, Han children must receive a certain number of years of education, is obliged to accept, their parents must not disobey the imperial court's decree, and violations must be punished. In order to achieve the goal of improving the knowledge level of all Han people. In this way, the Ming Dynasty can be invincible in the world in the future, and our Han people can always be noble to people of other ethnic groups. ”

Zhang Guiyan said.

Bi Ziyan asked, "Can you take a break?" At present, the imperial court is not only doing all kinds of projects to benefit the people and the country, but also repairing books and renovating ceremonies, and the money and grain flow out like water. ”

"Can't wait!"

Zhang Gui replied and said: "The imperial court can be slowed down, but many Han children in the world can't be slowed down, if it is delayed for ten years, this ten years will make a Han child completely become a white ding, but if it is not slow, it will also give a Han child the opportunity to become a great talent!" Although it is necessary to be frugal and for the sake of the future, and not to easily consume state funds, it is completely possible to solve this problem in an open-source way. “

Then, Zhang Gui continued: "I think that we should continue to use the benefits of foreign Yi to enhance the wisdom of our Ming and Han people, so we should raise shares to set up a government-run firm such as ocean trade, and use the current technological advantages of the Ming Dynasty to continue to achieve the goal of taking the wealth of other countries and benefiting the people's livelihood through trade." ”

Bi Ziyan groaned after hearing this.

"The contemptible people think that what Uncle Guo said is extremely true! When raising shares to set up a trading firm, we can ensure the implementation of education for all through the profits obtained from trade! This is good governance too! ”

At this time, Liu Hongxun took the initiative to stand up and express his approval.

Wu Weiye also stood up and said: "That's right! Uncle Guo is wise! This is the national policy of the future! Pawn also! ”

Liu Hongxue and Wu Weiye waved their brand-new sleeves as they spoke, and they threw up their hands:

"When raising shares to set up a trading firm, take the profits of ocean business, and benefit the country's education!"

"When raising shares to set up a trading firm, take the profits of ocean business, and benefit the country's education!"

"When raising shares to set up a trading firm, take the profits of ocean business, and benefit the country's education!"

There is no way, Liu Hongxun and Wu Weiye are too poor now, so they especially want to get rich in order to restore their family business.

After all, they are now so poor that they have to take out the new silk cloth they have stored in the treasury to make new clothes, and they can no longer wear half-used clothes, and the key is that they are becoming more and more frugal even in their food.
