"Uncle, I was praised by my husband today, he said that I am very talented in chemistry!" Li Wenzhong said proudly with a little face.

"Haha, okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Mr. said that you are talented in chemistry, so what kind of talent method are you in chemistry?" Zhu Han smiled and immediately asked.

The chemistry teacher of the Ming Royal Academy is not an ordinary person, but the famous Wanhu Tao Guangyi.

As the first person in Chinese history of Feitian Technology, Wanhu Tao Guangyi has now been influenced by Zhu Han to become a great scientist with all-round development of physics, chemistry and biology.

Wanhu Tao Guangyi helped the Ming army improve firearms and gunpowder, and also made hot air balloons, and not long ago, made Wanhu canned food, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty have an excellent new way to preserve food.

For Wanhu Tao Guangyi, he can be described as a nominal double income, and he is already far more than an ordinary Taixue professor.

Therefore, such a powerful Wanhu Tao Guangyi can open his mouth to praise Li Wenzhong as a talented talent in chemistry, then Li Wenzhong, this kid, must have his own uniqueness.

Zhu Han never thought that his eldest nephew would still be a chemical genius who could be affirmed by Tao Guangyi.

Zhu Han naturally had to ask how he was appreciated by Tao Guangyi.

Li Wenzhong proudly said that he had just improved the formula of gunpowder in the experiment in chemistry class, and it was this thing that made Li Wenzhong get Tao Guangyi's affirmation.

"Yes, yes, the army after the Ming Dynasty is going to use muskets and artillery to fight the world, and your ability can make more powerful firearms for the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Han smiled and encouraged Li Wenzhong to say.

"Uncle don't worry, I will work hard to learn my skills." Li Wenzhong said.

At this time, Zhu Wenzheng on the side was also not to be outdone, and said loudly, "I also got Mr. Tao's praise today!" ”

"Wenzheng, tell me how Mr. praised you?" Zhu Han looked at Zhu Wenzheng and smiled.

"In today's physics class, Mr. gave us homework, and I was the first to solve it!" Zhu Wenzheng also said proudly.

"What kind of homework did the gentleman give you?" Zhu Han continued to ask.

Wanhu Tao Guangyi is the leading technical leader of the Ming Dynasty, and the courses of physics and chemistry need to be taught by him personally.

After all, Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, the children of the relatives of the Ming Emperor, must not be sloppy in their courses.

"The assignment that the gentleman gave us was to measure the length of the earth according to the shadow of the sun." Zhu Wenzheng said proudly.

"What? The length of the earth? Heaven and earth are so big that there should be no edges and no edges, how can it be possible to measure the length of the earth? Brother Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.

"Haha, brother, you're wrong about this, Wen Zheng is right, the earth can measure its length." Zhu Han explained to his brother.

Wanhu Tao Guangyi surrounded Zhu Han almost every day, and naturally accepted the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round, and the original heaven and earth are round.

According to the theory of heaven and earth provided by Zhu Han, this earth is a ball, and since it is a ball, it naturally has a circumference and diameter.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this was a theory that subverted cognition, so he immediately asked Zhu Wenzheng, "Big nephew, tell us quickly, what is the length of this earth?" How did you figure it out? ”

"Uncle, I calculated that the length of this land is 80,000 li!"

Zhu Wenzheng then took out a stack of straw paper in his arms, on which was written his calculation process based on the shadow of the sun.

That is, according to the trigonometric function, the angle between the earth and the sun can be deduced, and finally the circumference of the earth.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately had a clear understanding of the concept that the length of the earth is 80,000 li.

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

"Good! It's amazing, our old Zhu family has come up with a university study that has gone through the heavens and the earth. Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.

Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong are only more than ten years old now, just ten years older than the crown prince Zhu Biao.

After the crown prince Zhu Biao inherits the throne, they will also become the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and then assist Zuo Zhu Biao to govern the great world.

Zhu Yuanzhang took another test of the two of them's other homework.

Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong's talents are relatively intelligent, and they study hard and work hard, and after some examinations, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang is very satisfied.

Zhu Yuanzhang was happy and rewarded each of them with a small handful of golden melon seeds.

"This is your Uncle Yingwang, the gold you just got from the Wa Kingdom, you will perform well in the future, and you will also open up more land and more gold and silver for the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Yuanzhang has also fully realized the benefits of the new Confucian learning, such as Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, such a young child, after a simple study, can already have great talents.

If it is cultivated over time, when Li Wenzhong and the others grow to their twenties, they will definitely be the pillars of the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother, what do you think of these two children?"

Zhu Han looked at the backs of the two children who were slowly walking away and said.

"It's all the children of our old Zhu family, so what's worse?" The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Then Da Ming can count on them as pillars!" Zhu Han continued.

"It's really a pillar! The future of Daming is counting on Wenzheng and Wenzhong, these children. Zhu Yuanzhang said with a serious face.

"Brother, if you have this idea, that's great, these are just two children, if the children of the Great Tomorrow can learn these new Confucian learnings like the two of them, then how strong will our Ming Dynasty be in the future?" Zhu Han said with a smile.

The words have already been said to this point, how can Zhu Yuanzhang not understand Zhu Han's thoughts.

"Seventy-five, we know you must be talking about compulsory education, right?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"That's right, that's what I wanted to say."

Zhu Han has thought about the promotion of compulsory education in Daming many times, but this matter needs to cost a lot, not just a matter of Ying Tianfu.

Zhu Han wanted to promote it to the entire Ming territory, a total of more than a dozen provinces, thousands of states and counties.

Not to mention how many teachers and officials are needed to do this.

Even if it is the cost of preparing for more than 1,000 schools, it is also a tax for several years of Daming.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been obedient to Zhu Hanyan, has always been hesitant to promote compulsory education and has not agreed.

Now that he heard Zhu Han mention this matter again, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang still had a headache.

"We have just pacified Huguang now, and then we are suppressing bandits, and appeasing the people's livelihood, and we have spent a lot of silver!"

"Moreover, now that the toast in Guizhou is in turmoil, it also needs a large amount of silver to support!"

"In addition, Xu Da has just pacified Guanzhong in the north, and we still have to prepare grain and grass and military salaries, in order to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun and Liaodong in the future."

"I really can't take out so much money to do this compulsory education."

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Han's matter could only be temporarily suspended.

"Brother, what you said makes sense."

Zhu Han thought for a moment, and then continued: "After thinking about this matter, I really shouldn't be in a hurry, after all, there is not so much money for the time being, and there is not so much manpower. ”

"Then let's not engage in this compulsory education for the time being!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Over the years, because of Zhu Han's existence, Zhu Yuanzhang has never felt short of money.

However, recently, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has been fighting more and more, and there are more and more places that need to spend money, so there is a feeling of lack of money in an instant, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has been poor and scared since he was a child, always feels that he has food in his hands, so he doesn't panic in his heart.

If the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is spent, then Zhu Yuanzhang's heart will be completely unsteady.

"Brother, we don't have enough manpower and money now, I thought about it for a while, let's try to start with Yingtianfu and Shandong Province, one south and one north as two pilot areas."

"That's fine! Let's start two pilot projects in two places, and we also think this is reliable, after all, in this case, it won't cost too much money. Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, and then continued to ask Zhu Han.

"Seventy-five, Yingtianfu is the capital of our Ming Dynasty after all, why should the north start from Shandong Province, Huaixi is our hometown, one Yingtian and one Huaixi, this is the best! What do you think? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who cares about family and hometown affection very much, for Zhu Yuanzhang, Haozhou is his hometown, and the customs and customs there are all his personal thoughts, and compulsory education, which is a very good thing for future generations, naturally wants to take care of the villagers first.

Zhu Han shook his head and said, "Brother, Huaixi is now full of our founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty, and almost every family has relatives who are officials or soldiers in the court, and they are not as bad as before, and no one's children can afford to read a book." ”

"And Shandong is different, there has been the rule of Meng Yuan, the local people are living very hard, if we can carry out this compulsory education there, we will definitely be able to get a large number of people to support, for the future to the capital of the Northern Expedition, it is a huge benefit."

"In this part of Shandong, the local people attach great importance to educating their children, and if the imperial court can provide them with this compulsory education, they will be able to quickly gain the support of the people of Shandong."

"Moreover, Shandong has been ruled by the Mengyuanjin Jurchens for many years, and we must pay close attention to gathering the local culture, education and people's hearts, these invisible soft power to the Ming Dynasty."

Today, Zhu Han's new education content is not only physics, chemistry and biology.

In Zhu Han's new Confucian studies, he also attached great importance to the education of literature and history.

It's just that the content of these subsets of scriptures and histories needs to be screened and reviewed by Zhu Han, and they are mainly used to inspire the national spirit of the Han people.

Since the Jingkang disaster in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Shandong region has been ruled by the Jurchens, and then by the Mongols.

A good end of the birthplace of Confucian culture has become a barbarian rule full of blood.

Therefore, we must seize the time to restore the Chinese national spirit here in Shandong.

After listening to Zhu Han's reasoning, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded lightly in agreement.

"The Han family has been plagued by the Mengyuan for a hundred years, and the previous Zhao and Song dynasties were also decaying, making China languishing for hundreds of years, and now it is indeed necessary to invigorate the spirit of the people in the world!" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"In this case, then the matter of compulsory education in Shandong will be left to you."

"No problem!" Zhu Han nodded, and continued, "Brother, I have one more thing I want to tell you. ”

"Say it." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"I want to visit Shandong recently." Zhu Han said.

"What are you going to inspect in Shandong? Isn't there Qi Xiang there? Besides, it has just experienced war and is in ruins, so there is nothing to see. Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately a little puzzled.

It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang dislikes Shandong, but there are many important things in the court now, but they all need Zhu Han to deal with.

If Zhu Han is allowed to go to Shandong, it will definitely delay a lot of important events in the imperial court.

"Shandong is the land of Confucius and Mencius, the Tartar Yan Sheng Gong Kong Kejian, has run to most of the capital to follow the Mongols, now if we establish the prestige of the Ming Dynasty in Shandong, we can knock down the stinky sign of Yan Sheng Gong by the way, this matter must be done by me personally, others do it, I am not at ease."

- Zhu Han said very seriously.

In the history of Shandong, this experienced the Northern Expedition of the Red Turban Army Mao Gui, as well as the Northern Expedition of Xu Da of the Ming Dynasty, even if the local Mongols had disappeared without a trace, many local tyrants and inferior gentry still resisted the Red Turban Army and the Ming Army.

These local tyrants and inferior gentry in Shandong, as long as they can guarantee their status and property, they don't care what kind of Jurchen Mongol you are.

So now the Ming Dynasty wants to promote the new Confucian learning.

Then we must easily solve these bad breeds in Shandong.

Among them, the Confucian family, which has a very high reputation in Shandong, needs Zhu Han, the king of the Ming Dynasty, to be defeated in person.

This kind of thing, except for Zhu Han, no one is suitable.

After understanding Zhu Han's intentions, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang immediately agreed to Zhu Han's idea of inspecting Shandong.

"The northeast side of the mountain is connected to Dadu, and it is across the sea from Hu Dahai's department in southern Liaoning, the location is indeed important, if there is turmoil in the rear, it is really not conducive to the preparation of our army's northern expedition."

Zhu Yuanzhang also attaches great importance to Shandong.

"Shandong is related to the success of the Northern Expedition, since you want to take Shandong for inspection, we plan to transfer Liu Bowen and others to Shandong as helpers!"

"Seventy-five, since you plan to do a big rectification in Shandong, without Liu Bowen and them to help you, we are still a little worried." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"It would be great if Liu Bowen and others were sent to Shandong to be my helpers." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Seventy-five, let Liu Bowen go to Shandong now, in fact, we have another idea." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said mysteriously.

"Brother, what do you mean? I don't understand something. Zhu Han suddenly became puzzled.

"Now the capital of the Ming Dynasty is Jiangnan, Liu Bowen is from Jiangnan, and he has attracted a large number of famous people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang such as Song Lian, and more than half of the people in the Ming Dynasty are famous people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and so on in the future, they will have the final say, or will our old Zhu family have the final say?"

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said with some worry.

When Zhu Han heard this, he immediately frowned a little.

He has been busy dealing with the military and political affairs of the imperial court recently, and he has not noticed that there are more and more famous people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the court.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, these famous men of Jiangsu and Zhejiang did contribute some strength when the Ming Dynasty was founded.

However, in addition, for the Ming Dynasty, they did not do any less things.

For example, many of the great clans in the south of the Yangtze River secretly robbed in various coastal areas under the guise of the Japanese robbers.

Another example is that some wealthy businessmen set up a large number of workshops in Jiangnan, but then did not pay a penny of business tax.

Even once the imperial court sent people to collect commercial taxes, they instigated and confused the people, saying that the eunuch party was looting the people's fat and ointment, and even dared to encourage the people to beat the Qin sent by the imperial court to death on the street, and even erected a so-called monument to these people in the name of killing the 'eunuch party'.

These Jiangnan scholars even formed a Donglin Party later, in the name of seeking benefits for the people of the world, but they did a bunch of disgusting things about the 'water is too cold' traitors to lead the party.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words woke up Zhu Han, and he immediately agreed.

"Brother, you're right, although these celebrities in Jiangnan are obedient now, when they become more and more powerful in the future, I am afraid that a situation will really form a situation where the tail will not fall off, and it should indeed start from now on to prevent them from forming a party in the court." Zhu Han said.

"That's right, so we want to send Liu Bowen to Shandong to be the governor of Shandong." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

Zhu Han nodded, and suddenly he thought of a better idea.

"Brother, we not only want to send Liu Bowen to Shandong to be the governor of Shandong, but also to select a group of famous people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in Jiangnan to go to Shandong as a governor to follow the imperial history." Zhu Han said with a wicked smile.

"What is this thing? Daming doesn't have this official position yet, right? Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly a little puzzled, this was the first time he had heard of this official position.

"It doesn't hurt if you don't, then set up an official position for these famous people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to patrol the imperial history." Zhu Han immediately continued.

"This patrol is in the name of the imperial court, and it is the situation of inspecting the handling of cases in various provinces and state capitals."

"Once unjust, false and wrongful eucalyptus is discovered, it must be reported to the imperial court immediately, and then the imperial court will send special people to deal with these unjust, false and wrongful eucalyptus."

"In this way, the inspector has the power to judge the imperial history, but he does not have the power to dispose of the eucalyptus, so that they can do things that offend people, and the famous people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will not form an intertwined force in a province." Zhu Han said.

When the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately patted and praised, "Okay!" All right! This is really a good idea, let these officials check themselves, let their own people offend their own people, and never become friends again. ”

"And we have to send someone to supervise the inspection of the imperial history in the back, so that everything can be foolproof." Zhu Han continued.

As for who will supervise this patrol of the imperial history, it is naturally the Jinyi Guard, who is most trusted by the emperor.
