Chapter 615: Da Ming in the Eyes of Foreign Scholars and Da Ming in the Eyes of Zhu Gaochi

Capital.

The conference hall lent by the headquarters of the Grain Stamp Bank, on the eighth floor of a fifteen-story building, under the kerosene chandeliers of transparent lampshades, on solid wood tables, were piled with drawings and drafts, on which there were triangles, circles, and so on.

More than a dozen scholars, each with a tired expression.

Such a high-intensity, long-term academic exchange, everyone has not carried out for a long time, their physical strength and age, so that they are very tired, but the spirit of learning makes them unwilling to stop.

"The buoyancy of an object is equal to the weight of its displacement, and the two are inextricably related."

Zamaraddin pointed to the drawing, and drew some patterns and formulas on the blank paper provided by the food stamp bank, using a small English language and a hard pen in Da Ming, which he was not very proficient in.

This way of formulating, as well as the new ideas that Zamaraddin brought to the table, once again amazed mathematicians.

"What is the definition of drainage?"

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty, based on the vocabulary of Zamaraddin's own words, wanted to give a standard.

Different ideas bring different sparks in academics.

A clash of civilizations.

With the arrival of scholars from Central Asia and West Asia, there are also a large number of cultural relics and books, and after the publicity of the newspapers, various academic circles have already ignited enthusiasm, and scholars from all walks of life have rushed to the capital.

At the same time, the scholars from Central Asia and West Asia were greeted with the utmost grandeur and treated to a very high standard.

"You must work hard to ensure their living needs, and you must not be harsh on them."

An official of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty said to the restaurant of the China Industrial Bureau.

"Rest assured, our service is the best."

The shopkeeper of the restaurant of the China Industrial Bureau has a face of guarantee.

All the scholars from Central Asia and West Asia live in the guest rooms of the Grand Restaurant of the China Industrial Bureau, where all the necessities of life are provided, and their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and daily necessities are guaranteed.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were still not at ease.

More and more scholars have given high praise to foreign scholars, and with the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no one in the Ministry of Rites dares to treat these scholars and craftsmen from foreign lands slowly.

So the Ministry of Rites officials personally went to greet those people and asked if there was anything dissatisfied.

"Very good."

"The magnificence of the civilization of the Kingdom of God is amazing, and there is still such a country in the world, no wonder the great prophet said that learning in China is really an incredible thing."

Half a year's journey, all the way to the apprehension, with the arrival of the Ming capital, all the uneasiness has disappeared.

Good food and hospitality so that everyone feels valued.

And the Daming Industry Bureau Restaurant that received them, they knew that this was not an ordinary business, it was a semi-official nature.

Looked at.

The official of the Ministry of Rites smiled and said gently: "All scholars, no matter where they come from in the world, as long as they are willing to participate in the evaluation of the Daming Technology Department or the Daming Technology and Technology Association, they can get a talent allowance." โ€

"Talent allowance?"

Some people don't need to be interpreted, while others do.

Everyone tries to learn the Ming language as quickly as possible.

"Although the talent allowance is not high, it can ensure the needs of life, and you don't need to worry about chores, just focus on learning."

An official from the Ministry of Rites introduced.

"There are many scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, they are also the most noble people in the Ming Dynasty, we have been proud of reading since ancient times, and the people who read, even in the countryside, are also the most respected people of the people."

"Therefore, from top to bottom, Daming respects readers very much, and the treatment of readers is that all industries, whether it is the common people or the military, or even any industry, want to become readers."

"There is still such a country."

"Only such a country can have such a civilization, and the prophet is really great, he can know China from thousands of miles away, and he knows the greatness of China."

Zamaradin said reverently.

In the past few months, I have dealt with people from all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty, and I already have a certain understanding of the people in this country.

The country is not proud of slaughter.

On the contrary, any monarch, no matter how powerful his martial arts, will be blamed for slaughtering the people.

They can even teach the monarch to behave according to virtue, and for the monarch of the country, he must abide by etiquette in every word and deed, otherwise he will lose his name and be blamed by the world.

It's incredible.

Equally.

The country is intense.

Anyone who bullied them will suffer powerful revenge, and their ancestors also said that it is not too late for ten generations to take revenge, oh my God, such a strong spirit of revenge is really terrifying.

They are also very arrogant.

They even said that all the land under heaven where the sun and the moon shine is their land.

However, the clever Zamaratdin, who already knows how to deal with this country, will be regarded by them as the friendliest friend with ten points of praise and ten points of strength.

Their sages said the same thing.

It is very happy to have friends from afar, and what they are most happy about is to make friends.

Really.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites remembered Zamaraddin, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not personally met these people, but according to his own understanding of His Royal Highness the Prince, sooner or later they would be summoned.

The matter of summoning them is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, and it probably falls on his own head.

Choosing those people to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the officials of the Ministry of Rites should also be very cautious, and there is no doubt that the very friendly Zamaraddin has become a reserve player in the hearts of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

A group of scholars led by Zamaradin tried their best to get close to the Ming Dynasty, and according to the introduction of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the special channel of the staff of the Technical Department, they participated in the evaluation of the Ming Dynasty.

Many people have received Daming's talent allowance.

Night.

Under the light, Zamaraddin looked at the beautifully printed food stamps in his hand.

"Is this the technology of the great country that invented printing, and there are so many amazing things in this country." Zamaraddin knew the value of food stamps.

Relying on the talent allowance, he can live a carefree life in Daming.

If you can produce results, your life can be turned upside down, you can buy that kind of building, become your new home, and maybe marry a Ming woman.

It's just that the women of Daming are too arrogant.

They are very conservative.

Flipping through the paper of Daming and touching the exquisite book, Zamaradin couldn't help but sigh again.

Papermaking.

Oh, my God.

What else is there that was not invented by this country.

It is the civilization that guides the world.

Praise the Prophet.

The omniscient prophet, a thousand years ago, was able to know the greatness of China and guide people to learn the knowledge of China, but unfortunately, their civilization was destroyed by barbarism very early.

Yes, civilization's greatest adversary is barbarism.

Even such a great China was not conquered by barbarism, but such a country soon became free again.

And what about their own country.

Zamaraddin's eyes were dim, and he couldn't see hope, so he took notes carefully and recorded everything in Daming, hoping that even if there was only a slight chance, he could spread the knowledge of civilization back to China.

I hope to see the day when my country is free, and it can also be as civilized and rich as the Ming Dynasty.

A country where the planting harvest rate has reached 1:40 agricultural technology.

This achievement alone is enough to shake the world.

There is also their fertilizer industry, coke industry, and even their social system, where people are polite and full of benevolence, but wherever they are visible to the naked eye, they are places for people to learn.

The clever Zamaraddin, of course, knows that there are also bad things in it.

But what can be flawless?

"After my friends and I came to Daming, most of the things that my friends talked about every day were how rich the land of Daming was, how pleasant the climate was, and how good the land Allah had given me."

"But I don't think so."

"Especially when I learned that even the mountains could be transformed into a kind of planting environment called terraces, and the efficiency of harvesting food was stronger than that of all known countries, and it was called man who conquered heaven."

"yes."

"In this land, it is even said that the sky will be defeated."

"There is a kind of prince and general, and he can be replaced by the eldest husband, which shows that the people of this country have long begun to resist all injustices."

"Two thousand years ago, there was a story of Yugong moving mountains, and if you understand Yugong moving mountains, you will know how powerful and terrible this nation is, because they know how to persevere, rely on diligence, ten years as a day, and create a wealth of how huge it will be."

"They even invented the imperial examination, which I would say is the most commendable, and the system of learning in the world."

"Only the smartest people can be officials, not by blood, in a world that pays attention to the hereditary tradition of blood, such a country has begun to reject bloodline."

"Their people can actually stand up to officials who break the law."

"In the neighborhoods of their city, the people actually manage themselves."

"Their ancestors began to explore the social model very early, so there was a social system that limited the power of the monarchy, and from top to bottom, they emphasized courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, and pursued a peaceful society."

"It is not surprising how strong such a country's civilization is, and it should be taken for granted."

"I am different from my friends, they think that there are many techniques and knowledge in Daming that are most worth learning, but I think that Daming's social system is the most worth learning."

"Why?"

"Because China's society since ancient times has focused on how to let the people live the best, and even let the people be self-sufficient, so that the outside world does not absorb too much from them."

"And what country in the world can do that."

"In the eyes of the monarchs of all countries, the people are their slaves, their soldiers, and their taxes, but not their people, and the idea of making the people self-sufficient."

"Knock knock."

"Excuse me, Mr. Zamaraddin, we see that the lights in your room are always on, so I would like to ask if you need a night meal?"

Zamaraddin wiped his eyes.

Then I went to open the door and saw Xiao Er, who showed a smiling face.

"Daming's talent allowance, the lowest is five dimes per month, many are one yuan a month, and those scholars and craftsmen from foreign countries, I heard that there are one or two thousand people, and most of them have received allowances."

"I spend more than 1,000 yuan a month, which is nearly 20,000 yuan a year."

"Is Daming already rich to this extent? Are all the people already fed, or is it that the military spending spent in Central Asia and West Asia has already begun to reap the benefits, and there is no need for domestic supplies. โ€

Daming talent allowance is the most eye-catching policy.

In the eyes of many people, it is giving money.

Use the people's money to distribute it to those people.

In the past, not to mention the scholars and craftsmen of the country, even the small number of foreign countries that were absorbed every year, such as the Goryeo and Wa kingdoms, and even Southeast Asia, did not cause waves.

But this time the movement was too big.

In particular, the preferential treatment of that group of people has aroused the red eyes of many people.

A middle-aged man in a middle uniform, with a cane in his hand, cowhide shoes under his feet, and a hat, arrived at the teahouse in a two-wheeled carriage, which not only provided free newspapers, but also a young lady who sang opera, and a gentleman who told a story.

On the stage of the teahouse, there is a young lady wearing a white powder flower dress, with delicate makeup on her face and bright lips, and at a glance, you can see that she has applied a new style of lipstick, which is not only bright red but also translucent, making people want to kiss it.

The capital was beaten hard.

The industries that called themselves mothers were devastated, but the rest of the industries flourished, and their status was much higher, and they were protected by the law.

Many people come to the teahouse, not only to drink tea and chat, but also to see beautiful women and listen to stories.

The beautiful woman sang a song in the Yuyao dialect.

There is a musician in the backstage.

Many spectators drank tea while eating melon seeds and peanuts.

The middle-aged man on crutches climbed the stairs to the second floor, where there was a private room, where he could look down from the top, and he could also close the door and order a special service lady.

After saluting, each sat down.

"Foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures, and they have been like this since ancient times, what's so strange."

"I've also seen those people's things, where is it so magical, it's just that it's fresh, but many things are ours in principle."

Hearing the old man's complaints, the companion said with a smile.

"Now that you've seen it, why don't you say it?"

"What's the use of saying it."

"Other people's things, after translation, do they sound novel, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes these, and supports external learning the most, as if we don't learn other people's things, and belong to the old stubborn."

"Haha."

"That's true."

A few people laughed and made tea.

The tea set is in the hands of the host, a series of kung fu, dazzling to see, and finally even the action of pouring tea, as if there is a lot of knowledge, the guests return the gift, than the hall to drink tea more exquisitely.

"It's always been that the things outside are fragrant, and our own things are smelly, and I see that there are some people who make profits from it, and for their own benefit, they elevate the status of those people."

"Who knows."

Some people don't care, some don't.

Middle-aged people are very concerned.

Soon.

In the local newspaper of Yingtianfu, there was an article criticizing this phenomenon.

"What is worth pondering?"

"The old man went to study and read it, all kinds of Western arithmetic, but the way of recording is different, the principle is not more than the "Zhou Ji Sutra", including their astronomy, is it that the extraterritorial astronomy is more advanced than ours, the old man still went to read it, and the result is still the "Zhou Ji Sutra" things."

"Is it so popular to change the name of a foreign country?"

"The old man couldn't help but change his name to a foreign country, and packaged the old man's things in a foreign language, but he wanted to see if those people's reactions were so big."

"It's even more ridiculous that buoyancy."

"During the Three Kingdoms period, we had the story of Cao Zhi called the elephant, and people changed a story, and immediately made people shout, in the end, they didn't know what they were and didn't understand their ancestors, so there was such a performance, lonely and unheard, and there was a phenomenon of foreign monks chanting scriptures."

"What kind of Rutgers view, isn't it just our Taoist stay out of the way?"

"What kind of dialectic is that, isn't it just our Taoist drift?"

"I'm surprised, the same thing, the name of our ancestors, people are accustomed to it, they don't take it to heart, and even scold, others just change their names, the same kernel, immediately caused a wave of learning."

"In this case, we might as well not want the things of the ancestors, give up everything, and learn from others directly, since the things of others are so good, what more do we need from the ancestors."

โ€”โ€”

Mandarin Palace.

In the spring, everything recovers.

The gardeners, who are renovating the garden in front of the Wenhuadian Square, and the inner garden of the harem are also in the process of overhaul, saying that they are overhauled, but in fact, there is no major construction, and Zhu Di has left the capital for a year.

Guo took his children to the harem to accompany his mother to relieve boredom, and the family members of the county king would often enter the palace.

Xu Miaojin also came.

Zhu Gaochi's aunt has never married, and her family has not urged her.

However, the queen mother was very anxious and wanted to find a good son-in-law for her little sister, but for some reason, none of the little sisters took a fancy to her, and there were even rumors outside that the emperor had taken a fancy to her sister-in-law.

The angry Guo smashed the porcelain.

Xu Miaojin has not come to the palace for a long time, but for more than a year, Zhu Di is not in the imperial city, so Xu Miaojin does not refuse the invitation of the eldest sister, and comes to the imperial city from time to time to see her sister.

Zhu Gaochi rarely went to see Xu Miaojin.

It was said in later generations that after Xu's death, Zhu Di wanted to establish Xu Miaojin as the queen, but Xu Miaojin refused.

Authenticity to be examined.

It is also said that Xu Miaojin is reluctant to marry because of the second sister's affairs.

The eldest sister of the Xu family married Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and the second sister married Zhu Gui, the acting king.

Zhu Gui, the acting king, is different from Zhu Di, he has no feelings for his wife, but favors his concubine and persecutes his wife.

This concubine is also surnamed Xu.

But being stingy, the history of the Ming Dynasty records that the princess persecuted the maid and did all kinds of evil, but it was actually this concubine surnamed Xu, not the second sister of the Xu family, who had already been beaten into the cold palace by the king.

The water spilled by the married daughter.

Not to mention the Acting King's Mansion.

Xu Miaojin was sad for her second sister since she was a child, and she also saw the man's coolness, and had the idea of never marrying for life.

That's the approximate reason.

In the year when Zhu Di's rebellion was successful, Xu Miaojin was twenty-three years old at that time, and he should have married a long time ago, but the Xu family couldn't know the history and know that the future emperor was Zhu Di, so he left his third lady in the mansion and never married.

What's more, when Queen Xu died, Xu Miaojin was almost thirty years old.

The Xu family still attaches great importance to their sisters, and the two brothers of the Xu family still attach great importance to their feelings, so there is a reason why Xu Miaojin is unwilling to marry, but no one forces her, and the family style of the Xu family is really good in that era.

Guo has two sons and a daughter.

Xu Miaojin saw the lovely niece and granddaughter, and enthusiastically stepped forward to hold hands, Guo's face was full of smiles, the two young ladies had also met in Beiping and Yingtianfu when they were children, and they were not strangers.

Guo was not married to Zhu Gaochi, and when he was a young lady, he returned to the capital with Xu Miaojin.

It's like a lifetime away.

Looking at the outstanding Xu Miaojin, Guo couldn't help but feel a little envious, the breath of youth did not seem to disappear from his childhood girlfriend, but became more and more slim.

Xu Miaojin held Zhu Yuantong, like a girl holding a girl.

Guo Shi had some wariness in his eyes.

Fortunately.

Anyone is possible, but she can't help it, Guo couldn't help but rejoice.

Recently, someone outside the palace said that His Majesty the Crown Prince should accept a concubine, although Guo Shi did not stop it, he couldn't help mentioning it in his heart, seeing that everyone felt the need to be vigilant, fortunately, the husband did not have such thoughts.

The husband can only be hers, and no one wants to snatch it away.

"Auntie, Grandma."

Zhu Zhanji asked curiously: "Why doesn't my aunt and grandmother get married yet?" โ€

Guo Cailian had a smile on her face and looked at Xu Miaojin with concern.

Xu Miaojin didn't expect Zhu Zhanji to ask her, seeing the innocent appearance of the villain, she didn't know how to answer, so she looked at her sister for help.

Xu sighed.

"Don't ask about adults, children."

Zhu Zhanji heard his grandmother's reproach, looked at his mother aggrievedly, and Guo hugged him distressedly.

Seeing this, Xu Miaojin also felt bored.

Children are unscrupulous, what can they understand?

It's really not a good place in the palace.

Xu Miaojin had no quarrel with the world, but he didn't understand anything, stayed for a while, talked to his sister on the phone, and then said goodbye, regardless of everyone's retention, and left the imperial city directly.

in the carriage.

Xu Miaojin lowered her head, no one knew what she was thinking.

Thin eyebrows frowned slightly.

On the white face, a trace of sorrow surfaced.

"Ugh."

Long.

There was a soft sigh in the carriage.

The carriage left the imperial city, the attic of the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Gaochi saw a carriage, and he didn't know which one it was.

The Ministry of War brought news of Samarkand again.

His Majesty the Emperor personally sat in Samarkand, Timur's army had arrived in Bukhara, and the decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty should have taken place, and they still had no way of knowing the outcome of the war.

Inside the temple.

The ministers couldn't help but worry.

"It stands to reason that our side has the right time, place and people to occupy the top, and we are waiting for work, even if we can't win all, at least we can defeat Timur and form a stalemate, and the longer the time, the more beneficial it will be for us."

Qi Tai analyzed.

"This is still the most conservative speculation, in fact, the minister is sure that His Majesty has defeated Timur, and is waiting for the arrival of good news."

The crowd analyzed what they could no longer decide.

Even so, officials discussed the matter.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the newspaper in his hand.

Guotai Min'an.

We will focus on stability and go all out to support Central Asia.

So for more than a year, Zhu Gaochi did not carry out reforms, around the previous order, the Ming Dynasty generally maintained a peaceful upward development, and Zhu Gaochi did not participate in the controversy of the ministers.

It's not that you don't care, but you can only wait.

The newspapers were dissatisfied with the preferential treatment of foreign scholars, and Zhu Gaochi was not surprised.

The population of the Ming Dynasty is so large, there will be people with different views on everything, and only one opinion is a strange thing.

The criticism in the Daming newspaper is quite good.

Later, some Western scholars even shouted that the source of all civilization is in China.

For example, they say that the various sciences of "ancient" Greece and Egypt that came out in the early modern period were parasitic on many Chinese texts, including the Zhou Ji Sutra, just as da Vinci's scientific and technological achievements were "parasitic" on the Book of Agriculture.

Equally.

The philosophy of "ancient Greece" comes directly from the wisdom of "ancient Egyptian" Logos and Hermes, and indirectly from China.

Dai Zhen, a thinker of the Qing Dynasty, had very clear evidence in the process of communicating with the Jesuits, that is, the relevant methods of the West were all derived from the "Zhou Ji Sutra", and found that the Jesuits were manipulating Chinese astronomy, and they falsely claimed that the West "existed in ancient times" and that the Jesuits in China were the "suckers" of the Western history-making movement.

Dai Zhen also said that the Pythagorean theorem is the Pythagorean theorem, and the two are exactly the same.

For example, technology.

"The Jesuits who went to China in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries led to the pouring of Chinese scientific achievements into Europe," Rawls said.

In 1751, the Royal Academy of Sciences in London conferred on Antoine Gaubil an honorary member of the French Society of Jesus for his information on Chinese science.

The Orientalist August Gladisch proved that "the doctrine of Pythagoras did not originate in Egypt, but was extracted from China." And he added: "Pythagoras acquired the idea of reincarnation from China. โ€

It is also said that the Greek myth of hyperboreans (living in the northern paradise) is Chinese material.

Hagail argues that the "ancient" Greek and Roman abacus was obtained by Pythagoras from China.

Pythagoras' theories either came directly from China or were Chinese knowledge that circulated in Egypt. The Pythagorean quote "All the properties ascribe to number" was inspired by China.

Pythagoras' musical theories (including the lyre and the seven-tone scale) originated in China.

The so-called Greek, Palamedes, invented chess, which was Chinese. "Ancient" Greek and Roman astronomy, the ecliptics, and constellations are related to China. In Plutarch's book, the temples are similar to those in China.

Hagail lamented: "Too much plagiarism of China! (Somany plagiarisms from China )โ€

"The English historian Waler Raleigh (1552-1618)'s work on Greek astronomy from Hipparchus to Ptolemy "shows that the discussion and exposition of the English language in the early years was fused with Chinese evidence," Dr. Levitin said.

The reason for this is that "a great deal of Chinese knowledge has been handed down from time immemorial, because it has not been affected by the chaotic language of the Tower of Babel in the Bibleโ€”interrupted and lost". What does this mean?

The "ancient Greek" astronomy that appeared in the early modern period is a copy of the relevant knowledge in China?

In fact, the Italian Renaissance scholars fabricated Greek philosophy and science based on "Chinese evidence".

And many Western scholars have also pointed out the reasons.

Jealous of the "China fever" of the Enlightenment France, which was the cultural center of Europe, German nationalism turned its anger on China and fanatically built "ancient Greece".

This was the academic thrust of the German Romantic movement of 1798-1830.

However, in the process of its ideological gestation, German Romanticism actually absorbed a lot of ancient Chinese wisdom through the channel of Freemasonry. In this way, both the "Western classical culture" and the "German classical philosophy" that are in the process of being formed naturally contain many "Chinese elements".

The founders of the Masonic and Rosicrucian orders revered Buddha, Confucius, Moses, and Jesus as The Seed Master.

The Rosicrucian Society enshrines the ancient wisdom of China as the source of all knowledge.

The organization takes this quote of Lao Tzu as one of its proverbs, namely: "The goodness of the ancients is the Taoist, subtle and mysterious, and the profound is unknowable."

The German monk Christian Rosencruz, after spending time learning the occult of the East, created the Rosicrucian, or Red Cross, in 1402, which is most likely fictional character.

Rosicrucian Instructor Max. Heindel (1865-1919) wrote in his book "Rosencruz and the Rosicrucian Sermon: Ancient Truths in Modern Clothing":

"Everything has a law, and so is our evolution. The spirit and the flesh go hand in hand. The sun gives natural light, and it is known to bring light and life from east to west, from one side of the earth to the other. โ€

"The sun is visible light, and people are a small part of the photosynthesis. Just as natural light promotes growth, there is an invisible spiritual sun that promotes the growth of the soul, from one part of the earth to another. The movement of this mental impulse and the movement of the sun from east to west are -- one direction. โ€

"From the 7th to the 6th centuries B.C., a new wave of spirituality set off on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean and began to enlighten the Chinese nation; In this heavenly kingdom, the religion of Confucius was embraced by thousands of people. โ€

"We know that later this wave gave rise to Buddhism, a guru who touched the hearts and minds of millions of Indians and Chinese. This spirit continues westward. This is where sublime Christianity arises. โ€

No one can tell the truth of history.

After all, the position is more important than everything.

Just as the United States is bound to build an American-centered world system, not a system of free competition, even if he shouts the spirit of free trade and competition for hundreds of years, because that era is the most beneficial to him.

Zhu Gaochi knows very well that ancient Chinese civilization is not useless.

Opposite.

The ancient Chinese civilization had great glory, but the later inheritance was broken, and it was overtaken by the people in great strides, so that it was necessary to abandon what was in hand and turn around to learn the knowledge system discovered by others.

In Zhu Gaochi's eyes, he didn't feel any shame.

Poor dad, rich dad.

It's all dads.

You can't worship your father when he has money, and when your father has no money, he dislikes him.

What should be discussed is the strengths and weaknesses of the father during his lifetime.

What you really need to learn is to keep yourself mentally strong.

"The critical spirit of this article is very good, but everything is in moderation, while pursuing its own glory, it is also necessary to maintain the momentum of learning, even if it is a weak opponent, we must carefully understand their strengths and find out what can be learned."

Zhu Gaochi said.

When the ministers saw the newspaper in Zhu Gaochi's hand, they understood what His Majesty the Crown Prince was referring to.

There is no doubt that there is something to learn from the brilliant achievements of the West in modern times, and Zhu Gaochi said heavily: "People should remain modest, because only in this way can they not lose their minds." โ€

"Scholars from outside, no matter whether their things are good or bad, the first thing is to understand them, and after discussion, they will integrate themselves, even if they are ours, then when they are in the hands of others, what kind of changes there are, what advantages and knowledge they have, can be learned."

"Let the Ministry of Rites prepare."

"I want to meet them"

Zhu Gaochi said.

"Minister's order."

The ministers replied.
