"The second assistant asked the accountants of a few foreign merchants to ask, and then... the last emperor just asked the people below to buy a few basic calculation books on the market, so that the officials of the Ministry of Revenue could read them all..."

In the Ganqing Palace, a general from the Imperial Front Camp respectfully reported Liu Qiyuan's words and deeds.

"Okay, I know."

The emperor put down the book in his hand, frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.

This is the limitation of the times!

The traditional Confucian thought emphasizes self-cultivation and governance of the country and peace in the world.

Scholars all aim to be officials. Even if they are not officials, they are just to establish sects and become great scholars of the generation.

Calculate the grand road of the future era, in this era, is just a path that is dismissed by scholars!

This is derived from deep-rooted thoughts.

Even if it is him, it is impossible to turn it around in a moment. It takes an extremely long time to subtly implement it into people's hearts.

However, since ancient times to the present, the best way for rulers to promote something is to create demand.

If there is no need for arithmetic in the whole world, no matter how it promotes it, it will eventually be unable to escape the lonely end.

Only by creating demand, such as the money shops and businesses he has set up, or even the future when the imperial power goes to the countryside to coordinate the people's livelihood economy, will naturally breed the demand for arithmetic.

Just like from the beginning, he invested in the ordnance factories that maintained their maritime and border money, manpower and material resources. The slowly evolved firearms have spawned a huge demand for arithmetic. Under the demand for war, the Wuxun army will eventually pay more attention to arithmetic.

And mathematics is the foundation!

What he has to do now is to maintain the seedlings of arithmetic, expand as much as possible, and even discover the things that need arithmetic, so as to slowly make arithmetic valued by the ruling class, and eventually enter the house.

Traditional officials like Liu Qiyuan, even if they are traditional, can only slowly accept this change of ideas as the times develop.

To achieve this, the first thing is to do is to get the Kong family done. Otherwise, if this so-called sage lineage is instigated by someone who is interested and comes out to disrupt the situation.

With the deep-rooted roots of the Kong family and the implementation of people's hearts, he will try his best to do it, and it will be ruined in the end!

Of course, even without this reason, he would not allow the right to interpret and dominate the ideology of thought and ideology to be controlled by a so-called saint who has been stubborn for several dynasties and generations.

"Tell me my order and let Xu Guangqi, the head of the Martial Arts Academy, enter the palace to meet."

After thinking for a moment, the emperor slowly said this sentence.

Wang Wu, who was serving on the side, rushed forward, bowed to the emperor, picked up the emperor's will, bowed and retreated.

The emperor pondered for a moment, his eyes flowed, and finally the letter frozen on the table was already written, only to be stamped with the order of the emperor's seal.

Xu Guangqi, the head of the Martial Arts Academy, was transferred to serve as the Minister of Works.

After staring for a moment, the emperor's brows became more and more tight. It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Guangqi is perfectly in line with all his expectations and yearning for the literati of the new era.

First, we attach importance to mathematics, and even practice it ourselves, translate geometric originals, and compile mathematical works such as "Pythagorean meaning" and "measure similarities and differences".

Secondly, he knew the great role of mathematics. For example, when he ascended the throne, he submitted a memorial to correct the teaching calendar left by the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, in the memorial, he also discussed in detail the important role of mathematics in astronomy, calendar, water conservancy engineering, music, firearms and military defense, various construction projects, geographic measurement, manufacturing timers such as clocks and leaks, and even took the blame to ask him, the emperor, to promote the crystallization of wisdom in the martial arts academy to the whole world.

Third, he is quite knowledgeable about military affairs and attaches great importance to the manufacturing and development of firearms. Even the emperor, who had just learned military tactics, had mostly been written by this person.

Fourth, he attached importance to agriculture, and was proficient in agriculture, and even wrote many agricultural works such as "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs", "Sweet Potato Sparrow", "Agricultural Miscellaneous Sparrow", "Taixi Water Method" and so on.

In the martial arts academies, such as sweet potato and corn, this person has always been responsible for the cultivation of such high-yield crops.

He is also the top lecturer in the first mathematics department of the Martial Arts Academy. Moreover, he is also the head of the firearm research in the Martial Arts Academy. Xu Guangqi, the Ordnance Department under the Governor's Office of the Five Army, is also one of the helmsmen.

Normally, such a person is regarded as a treasure in his palm. He is trained with sincerity. Even if he disobeys, he will definitely turn a blind eye and maintain great tolerance.

But... I don't know if he was traveling through time and opening the Martial Arts Academy, so that Western learning exists in the Martial Arts Academy, and missionaries also exist in the Martial Arts Academy, so that Xu Guangqi can contact more missionaries.

Historically, Xu Guangqi, who only believed in Western Buddhism, was almost like a crazy believer in this era. From the beginning, he used his power to win over students in the martial arts academy and promote Western Buddhism.

Later, with the development of the Martial Arts Academy, Zhang Mo, the first advice of the Martial Arts Academy, also explicitly prohibited any preaching behavior and prohibited the spread of Western religions.

But Xu Guangqi still violated him a lot. Zhang Mo, the former sacrificial priest of the martial arts academy, also punished him. At that time, Duke Qin also interviewed him many times and advised him, but there were few changes.

Even if he ascended the throne and became emperor and scolded him many times, he still violated him many times!

If it weren't for the fact that he had great expectations and values ​​for this person, the emperor of Xu Guangqi's ten clans and the emperor directly slaughtered him!

It is precisely because of this that even though he knew that he would be of great help to his plan, the emperor had been hesitating.

As the emperor, he can accept many shortcomings of his ministers. Even if he is corrupt and abused the law, it will not have much impact as long as it is within the limit.

But this Western Cultist who knows what's going on...

A high-ranking official who can influence the world with every word and action, but he attaches great importance to science and maintains an extremely open-minded attitude towards new things. With his support, it is conceivable how much change it will be for the world and how much help it will be for his delusion.

But if this important minister who is in a high position and whose words and actions can influence the world, but is a crazy believer of the Western religion, then if you think about this scene, the emperor will feel his scalp numb.

"Xu... Guangqi, what are the abnormalities in the Martial Arts Academy recently?"

The emperor suddenly asked a question.

In the hall, Ning Feng, the commander of the Imperial Front Camp, also stepped out and bowed to the emperor: "Report to Your Majesty, the Chief of the Martial Arts Academy, is still the same as before, running around the Martial Arts Academy and the Ordnance Factory."

"After your Majesty, you ordered your reprimand, he has been restrained for a while, but according to the Martial Arts Spy, in recent days, during the lecture, he will explain the teachings of Western Buddhism from time to time, but he only tasted it briefly and did not say too much..."

"Okay!"

The emperor waved his hand, his face turned gloomy.

No change after repeated instruction!

He wanted to see how loyal Xu Guangqi was to his master!
Chapter completed!
