Peiping.

A brand new college was established here.

At the entrance of the academy, there are seven big characters -

Daming Royal Military Academy!

The college has already been preliminarily built, and students have already arrived at the school.

The Military Academy is different from the other three colleges, whether it is the medical school, the agricultural college, or the mathematics college, except for the imperial court, there is no one else behind it to support and promote.

Farmers do not have the ability to come together and support the agricultural college.

Both doctors and physicians regard their medical skills as treasures, and not only do they not support medical school, but there are even many people who are very resistant.

The accountants have a low status and are also incapable of supporting the development of the School of Mathematics.

Only the military academy is different.

Those noble military ministers, with their exploits in the founding of the country, were crowned princes and marquises, and their power was monstrous, if it was at the time of the founding of the country, they might not care about this small military academy at all, and they would not give too much support.

But with the founding of the country for more than ten years, these noble and military ministers gradually felt the change of the situation.

When they fought the world, these generals and martial artists were the most popular.

But as the world was defeated, they felt more and more that their status was about to be lost, especially in the court, the right to speak had long been snatched away by those who could speak well.

This made many nobles have a very strong sense of crisis.

At this time, the emergence of the military academy naturally received the strong support of this group of nobles.

After the establishment of the military academy, the elites from the national army were sent here one after another.

Because Su Che promised Zhu Di that if he could run this military academy beautifully, he would be rewarded to become a general of the expedition to the north and give him enough soldiers and horses and generals.

Such a reward greatly activated Zhu Di's motivation.

For this military academy, Zhu Di can be said to be greedy for darkness, and has done everything to the extreme, all kinds of requests for help to pull relations, the reason why there are so many nobles to support is not all because these nobles attach importance to the military academy, but also partly because of Zhu Di's tireless harassment!

In addition, Zhu Di also corresponded with his father, discussed many times, and got a lot of useful suggestions.

And Zhu Di also had some ideas of his own, adding them to the curriculum of the Military Academy.

With the smooth opening of the Military Academy, the first day of classes also began.

The first lesson these elite soldiers from all over the country received was a math lesson.

For a qualified general, the knowledge of mathematics is absolutely indispensable, and the estimation of grain and grass, the mobilization of the number of soldiers and horses, and the judgment of the marching distance all require a certain amount of mathematical knowledge.

In this math course, many confident elite soldiers can be said to be as big as a fight, and they are all confused - why do they still want to learn mathematics?

Many students have such confusion.

Even some students raised their own questions.

Faced with such a question, the teaching gentleman couldn't help but sneer, and scolded directly: "You can't even learn this bit of mathematics, how can you become a qualified general?" ”

In "The Art of War", there is a question that "things do not know the total number", asking if things have geometry. ”

"The original text is: I don't know the total number of things today, the remaining two of the three or three numbers, the remaining three of the five or five numbers, and the remaining two of the seven and seven numbers, and ask if there is geometry of things?"

"When Sun Tzu wrote the Art of War, he knew the importance of mathematics, but after so many years, you still think that mathematics is not important?"

"What a bunch of idiots, hopelessly stupid, the person who asked the question today, doubled the task today!!"

Zhu Di walked by the door, and when he heard such a reprimand, he couldn't help but nodded, many of the people who came to teach were veterans, and they were not afraid of this group of so-called elite soldiers.

Under this reprimand, all the students honestly lowered their heads and began to study seriously.

As the first class ended, after a short break, the second class began.

These students had thought that the second lesson would be a little easier.

However, the difficulty of the second lesson was once again beyond their imagination.

Physics in the second lesson!

If the mathematics class just made their heads as big as a fight, when it came to the physics class, it really made their scalps numb, and the whole person was directly numb!

In ancient times, there were many works on mathematics, such as "Zhou Ji Sutra", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Fixation", "Nine Chapters of Mathematics", "Sun Tzu's Sutra of Mathematics", "Quaternary Jade Jian", and "Mathematical Essence".

Even geometry, Xu Guangqi began to cooperate with Matteo Ricci in the 34th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty to translate the Geometric Originals, using the Latin version compiled by Kravis.

There are also books on physics, such as "On Balance", "Lingxian", "Huainanzi", "Mojing" and so on.

When these students heard about physics, they were dumbfounded, but they still learned it.

After all, there was the foresight of the first lesson, and if you dared to ask the gentleman why he had learned such strange knowledge, the punishment was inevitable.

After the end of the second class, it was the lunch break at noon, and after listening to these two classes, many students had been quite clean in their previous arrogance, and the skills they were proud of were nothing at all in this military academy.

Fortunately, those who can enter the military academy are all elites from various places, and their IQs are not too bad, and the reason why they are numb one by one is because they have not yet adapted to the first contact.

In the afternoon, they finally began the course they were more familiar with, talking about the configuration of military weapons and the arrangement of troops.

This familiar course has finally allowed these students to find some self-confidence, and it seems that they are not hopeless!

Can be fast.

The fourth session in the afternoon made these students dumbfounded again.

The fourth lesson is about chemistry!

The students, who were confident a second ago, were shut up again......

In addition to the common types of gunpowder and porcelain, the achievements of ancient chemistry have also been quite successful in the field of metal smelting.

In ancient times, the method of refining mercury was mastered very early.

In the historical records, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is written, and there is a relevant record: "Mercury is a hundred rivers and seas".

It is estimated that there are between 100 and 120 tons of mercury in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

And Qin Shi Huang was not the first person to love mercury.

Earlier Qi Huan Gong, there was a mercury pool in the mausoleum.

That is, in the Spring and Autumn period, and even earlier in antiquity, the means of refining mercury were mastered.

In addition, when it comes to chemistry, alchemists are even more indispensable.

Of course, the chemistry knowledge taught in the military academy is not for students to make alchemy, but to let them know the principles of this knowledge.

This aspect of the course, even Zhu Di didn't expect it, Su Che took the initiative to propose it, so that these students could have one more course like this......

When the fourth class was over, the first day of literature class was over, and what awaited the soldiers was a practical military course.

From jungle camouflage, cooking on fires, and food gathering, to battle formations, battlefield transfers, target reconnaissance, and the use of various military equipment, these military academy students are all fully arranged.

By the end of the day, almost all the students were exhausted.

At this time, Zhu Di stood up and began to do psychological construction for these students, so that they could understand the rarity of this military academy and must cherish this opportunity.

Now the opportunity to change their fate is in front of them, and if anyone doesn't seize it, then they may not have such a good opportunity in the future.

As the first of the four major academies, the Military Academy must set an example and let the literati and Confucian students in the world take a good look!

Let them know that Confucianism is not the only way to govern the world!

My father wanted to blaze a new trail.

As a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, he must open up this new path for the Son of Heaven!

With Zhu Di's impassioned blood, this group of students have forgotten their fatigue and the resistance to contact unfamiliar knowledge, and they have all made up their minds and made up their minds that they must learn enough knowledge in this academy and must get ahead!!

Meanwhile.

In the palace of Ying Tianfu, Su Che couldn't help frowning as he looked at the music in his hand.

The military academy is going very smoothly, but the agricultural college, the mathematics college, and the medical school are different, and the progress is very slow, which is quite different from Su Che's expectations.

There are very few people willing to support these three colleges.

This can't be done, in Su Che's plan, the other three academies, even if they are a little behind the military academy, must not be too far behind.

In that case, we have to change our thinking.

Su Che thought about it for a while, and decided to fool those noble and military ministers and let them support the other three academies.

As for the reason, it's very simple.

These three academies can provide some help to the military academy.

Doctors taught by medical schools can join the army as military doctors, but don't even doctors need to fight on the march?

Students taught by the School of Mathematics can be responsible for part of the military logistics.

And the agricultural college is even more critical, once the agricultural college has results, it will inevitably make the Ming Dynasty's spiritual rice grain more sufficient, and the march to fight is not food? Without the support of sufficient grain and grass, it is impossible for the war to continue.

So.

The nobles must not only support the Military Academy, but also the other three Academies!

Thinking of this, Su Che immediately began to write, so that those nobles could understand the truth!

As for these nobles, they may not support it?

Su Che was not worried.

The reason is simple, it doesn't work if you don't support it!

I have written to you, explaining what is at stake, and I still want to save face? How can this work? More or less get a point!

As for why the noble and military ministers were allowed to contribute, instead of those civil ministers, the reason is also very simple, even if the civil ministers are allowed to contribute, they are afraid that they will completely mess things up! It is not uncommon for these people to have a bad stomach and fail to work hard.

And Wu Chen's thinking is relatively simple, and it is better to fool!

As Su Che finished writing the letter, he looked at the other folds again.

Since the formation of the cabinet has been completed, both Su Che's workload and Zhu Biao's workload have been reduced a lot.

Although the Cabinet was only initially formed, they quickly took on their role.

Under the leadership of Zhu Biao, these cabinet ministers worked diligently and energetically.

After having these cabinet ministers, Zhu Biao gradually had some rest time, the pressure has decreased a lot, and his health has improved a lot recently.

Su Che didn't want Zhu Biao to die early, and he couldn't send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, so he was urged a lot less, and more caring.

When the cabinet showed results.

And a whip law that has been implemented a long time ago is finally on the right track.

Under Fang Keqin's tireless efforts, a whip law was successfully implemented everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, which to a large extent put an end to all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and also eliminated the space for managing corruption.

Of course, it is not necessary to completely eradicate corruption, because it is obviously impossible to completely eliminate it, and all that can be done is to try to reduce it as much as possible.

In order to completely implement a whip law, Fang Keqin was not afraid of offending anyone, whether it was a group of local officials, or nobles, or even people in the royal family, he didn't care.

If it weren't for Su Che who dispatched the forbidden army as Fang Keqin's guard, I'm afraid he would have died several times.

Fang Keqin has offended too many people, and his reputation is getting more and more stinky, the praise on him has completely disappeared, and many local officials, wealthy families, and even some royal relatives are eager to peel Fang Keqin's skin and cramp and eat it alive.

And as Fang Keqin became more infamy, his reputation among the people became better and better.

Even if Fang Keqin's reputation has become extremely bad under the slander of people with hearts, he seems to be the biggest villain and the biggest traitor in the world, but the eyes of the people are bright, those people at the bottom, they know who is doing good things for them and doing practical things.

Fang Keqin is the executor of a whip law.

The benefits of this policy are real.

The people at the bottom, after getting rid of those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, can be said to be getting better and better, and the treasure money that could not be spent before can also be used to pay taxes, and even be used to offset forced labor!

Of course, most of the people did not choose to use treasure money to offset the forced labor, because they did not have so much money.

Most of those who spend money to offset forced labor are rich and noble.

The money was used to buy food, and some of it was used as a subsidy for the laborers.

Although this is not a lot of money, but with a good meal, it is a very rare thing.

This is not too good for the people at the bottom.

As long as there is a full meal, what is conscription?

There is even money to take!

Where is this conscription?

This is clearly a reward from the imperial court!

Prior to this, conscription not only required the people to contribute, but also required the people to bring their own food, and even suffered all kinds of inhuman treatment.

But now, with the implementation of a whip law, these aspects have been greatly improved.

The people's lives are gradually getting better, in their opinion, isn't this the credit of the "full of evil" Fang Keqin?

"The Biography of Ming and Lian Officials" contains: It is the year old, Fang Keqin implemented a whip law from the king's order, and established morality and government in the people, so the people of the world are all Lisheng Ancestral Hall, in order to praise its merits and correct its name!
