Chapter 548: The New Traditional Learning
It was already dark, and Xu Guangqi, who was still fiddling in the Ordnance Department, rushed to the Ganqing Palace under the urgent call of the emperor.
"Me, please see your Majesty."
In the hall, Xu Guangqi shouted.
"Your dear is not a gift."
The emperor glanced at the messy official robe on Xu Guangqi's body, and a trace of helplessness flashed between his eyebrows and eyes. He promoted him to minister of the ministry and hoped that he would shine in the court. But this person was better. He asked him to teach the scholars new lessons, but after teaching, he hid in the Ordnance Department.
As the Minister of Works, in the past year, he has been to the Ministry of Works’ office for only a few times!
If he hadn't been suppressing the impeachment memorial in the court, Xu Guangqi would have probably been sent to Liaodong to feed his horses!
Such a style has no political atmosphere as an official, and only the academic atmosphere of studying without distractions is left!
Fortunately, the religious aura of the previous crazy believer finally became restrained, and the emperor was not intolerable!
"Recently, a minister in the court advised that the princes had reached the age of enlightenment. What do you think, my dear?"
When Xu Guangqi heard the emperor's words, he was stunned. What's the matter with him, the Minister of Works?
But soon, Xu Guangqi reacted!
The emperor attaches importance to new learning!
So... the emperor wanted the prince's enlightenment and added new learning?
When Xu Guangqi thought of this possibility, he immediately became energetic and bowed to the emperor: "I think that new learning is becoming more and more prosperous now, and it is the foundation of the country. Your Highness's enlightenment is absolutely indispensable for new learning..."
Hearing this, the emperor also showed a rare smile: "The new school is related to the fate of the country, and the princes must understand it. Let me leave this matter to you, my dear."
Xu Guangqi trembled and looked at the emperor incredible. Although he focused on research,... he was once a civil servant!
Leave the prince’s new learning and enlightenment education to him!
It is to send a great honor directly to his hands!
Plop!
Xu Guangqi knelt down suddenly: "I will never let down Your Majesty's expectations!"
"Remember, new learning can only be new learning!"
The emperor said again.
"I understand!"
Xu Guangqi's heart trembled and he hurriedly promised.
"Get out!"
The emperor waved his hand, Xu Guangqi bowed again, and then left.
The emperor looked at Xu Guangqi's back as he left, frowned. After a while, the emperor withdrew his gaze and looked at the stack of books on the table.
That is, the new teaching materials edited by the former Martial Arts Academy Engineering, and the current Daheng Academy of Engineering and the Ministry of Rites.
Looking at these textbooks, the emperor suddenly smiled and shook his head. This was really interesting.
Daheng's new learning originated from the Martial Arts Academy and grew up in the Martial Arts Academy. Until now, it has slowly spread from the Daheng Academy of Engineering to the whole world.
Although he was a later generation, he was just a poor student in later generations. In addition, he had been struggling in society for many years, and the scientific knowledge he understood in later generations was obviously extremely effective.
Since the establishment of the Martial Arts Academy and the establishment of engineering, he has been able to do his best to support the development of Daheng New Learning, such as financial and material support, and even to do a lot of effort to reverse the environment of the big era, so that new learning can have room for development.
This is the limit he can achieve. If he really wants to express some insights on the new learning and directly guide his shallow scientific knowledge, what he can do is obviously extremely limited.
It is hard to say that engineering science has gone wrong because of his emperor's authority.
Therefore, since the establishment of the Martial Arts Academy's Engineering Department, in addition to the external environment, financial, material and even human support, his greatest interference in the Martial Arts Academy's engineering department was only to set a general goal, and then he could only look at the development of the new engineering science itself.
As for real theoretical research, he never interfered with the slightest. Even the bolt-action rifle that was already stuck in the level, such an existence that could be called a magic weapon in the country, had never urged it and allowed it to evolve naturally.
To this day, it has been nearly ten years since Daheng New Learning has naturally flourished in the environment he created.
In this case, the new learning developed in this traditional era naturally cannot be as systematically Westernized as later generations.
Just like these textbooks in front of him, arithmetics, nature, agriculture, and business.
There are four textbooks in total, but they include all the new learnings of Daheng.
Strictly speaking, such as arithmetic, agronomical, and business, cannot be regarded as new studies. It can only be said that it is the first time since ancient times that the government has conducted integrated editing and research on these folk paths.
And such disciplines as chemistry, physics, astronomy, geography and other disciplines in later generations were all included in the subject of nature.
It is obvious that the natural subject is where Daheng’s real new learning lies.
That is, Tao follows nature, aiming to pursue the ultimate principles of all things in the world! Therefore, it is natural!
This change that is in line with the times will naturally not change it. In this traditional era, using such a general concept to integrate new learning into traditional culture will naturally benefit the development of new learning outweigh the disadvantages!
It naturally has more benefits than disadvantages to the entire social environment.
Although the new study is good, it is not what the emperor wants to see that the rituals and music are destroyed because of this.
It is obviously unexpected for the emperor to be able to integrate into traditional culture so spontaneously.
Candles flashed in the hall, books were flipping page by page, about the education system, the changes and even impacts of the business economy on the world, thoughts flashed in my mind, and the emperor's eyes became deeper and deeper...
In previous dynasties, the whole world was like a molded machine. Every gear and every part had undergone a long evolution and tended to be fixed.
Under this molded machine, it is better to change the dynasty, or to reorganize the machine, and then run the nearly perfect machine until the machine rots, then rebuild one and continue to operate. At most, it is just to change one of the parts.
This has been the case in previous dynasties.
Now, he almost dismantled this inherent machine and filled it with all kinds of parts that he had never had before.
Obviously, this will be a brand new machine, and it can be expected that this machine will have countless problems when it runs.
There are countless possibilities in all aspects, and there are too many pros and cons...
How to discover this problem and solve it in time will be something he must persevere in his life.
When the emperor was thinking, several eunuchs walked into the hall carefully under the command of Wang Wu, poured the melted water from the ice basin in the hall into the bucket, and then added pieces of ice cubes that were still air-conditioned, and quickly withdrew from the hall.
However, Wang Yiwu did not leave, but walked quickly to the emperor and spoke respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time for you to have a meal."
The emperor nodded, glanced at the ice basin placed in the hall, and then seemed to think of something: "Are you sending the ice cubes to the harem?"
Wang Wu immediately replied: "It's all sent over."
The emperor rubbed his swollen head, put down the book in his hand, got up, and went straight to the side hall...
Chapter completed!
