Chapter 841: Not afraid of God-like opponents

"There is no doubt that the first step for the respected Emperor, His Majesty, to carry out educational changes is to start from the text."

After considering it, Caxton continued: "Dear Emperor, you must also know that although those crooked letters are very convenient to learn, they can express too few meanings.

Although it is difficult to learn the square characters of the Ming Dynasty, they can express countless times more meanings than those crooked letters.

The most important thing is that it is difficult to learn the square characters of the Ming Dynasty. Those who are not smart enough can be eliminated directly to avoid wasting the empire's educational resources.

I believe that through learning the Ming Dynasty square characters, we can select truly smart people well and eliminate those scumbags who are not smart enough and not easy to learn.

After careful discussion, the European delegation, including me, agreed that only by abolishing those crooked letters can we truly move closer to the Ming Dynasty and become a part of the civilized world."

Ferdinand III said: "Caxton, I think you should know what such a reform means, and what kind of dilemma will such a reform face?"

Caxton said firmly: "What other difficulties are there greater risks than facing the risk of destroying the country?"

Seeing Ferdinand III's unhappy expression, Caxton quickly explained: "Twenty years ago, the Ming Empire was also on the verge of destruction, and their emperors still carried out drastic reforms.

Facts have proved that the reforms carried out by His Majesty the Ming Emperor were correct. The Ming Dynasty not only did not destroy the country, but became stronger and stronger.

In addition, you also know that the vassal states are fighting endlessly and do not obey the imperial orders at all. Even those people have begun to ignore the Holy See. This is definitely a very dangerous signal and an opportunity."

Seeing that Caxton mentioned the Holy See, Innocent X first denied the Holy See's statement, and once again mentioned the word church, she asked curiously: "What opportunity?"

After saluting Innocent, Caxton continued: "Their ignorance of the church and the empire means that we, including His Majesty the Emperor and me, say that everyone in the imperial court is at risk of being sent to the gallows.

As for the opportunity, it is because we are allies with the Ming Dynasty, and we are the more advanced in-law relationships in the ally relationship.

From another perspective, no matter whether the Ming Dynasty cares about Europe's interests or considers its own face, it is impossible to sit idly by the princes and priests. Even if they sell arms on both sides, they do not fully support us.

The situation is bad enough now, and it is impossible to be worse than it is now, so why not give it a try?”

Ferdinand and Innocent looked at each other and found that they were a little moved in their eyes.

Caxton was right. Anyway, the situation is bad enough now, and it is impossible to be worse than it is now. No matter what the Ming Dynasty is thinking, it is impossible for it to sit idly by and watch the Holy Roman Empire and the Church be destroyed.

Since this is the case, what else should I worry about? It is better to make drastic reforms. If the reform is successful, Ferdinand will be the greatest emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and Innocent will be the most successful pope!

Ferdinand pondered for a while before speaking: "Maybe, we should invite some Ming cultured people to Europe, let them be teachers, and teach children to learn the language and writing of the Ming Dynasty from an early age?"

Innosen laughed and said, "Why is it so troublesome to use? As far as I know, Cohen of the East India Company has successfully hired a family teacher from the Ming Dynasty, named Mr. Lei Gou."

Ferdinand said: "I probably know some of that Mr. Lei Gou. It seems that the reputation is not very good. Moreover, he only has one person, but we need a lot of teachers to do it?"

Innocent said disrespectfully: "Isn't it just a matter of sleeping with a certain noble lady? Just as the Legislative Yuan said, sleeping with boys and girls is as simple as rubbing hands.

Since he was willing and did not force the noble ladies, why should we intervene? I promise that the church pickets would choose to blindness when necessary.

As for the number of people, it will be easier to deal with.

There was a saying in the Ming Dynasty that people and things gathered automatically with the same similarities. Mr. Gou's friend must have the same needs money and some more or less problems - this is actually very good.

It is not scary for people to have problems. Whether they like money or women, people with weaknesses are just human beings, and they are scary for those who have no weaknesses.

Such people are either the incarnation of gods walking on earth, or they have plans that are bigger and darker in their hearts. In other words, if there are too many such people, do you dare to use them? Anyway, I don’t dare."

Ferdinand III said: "That's right."

After a while of silence, Ferdinand III spoke: "However, instead of seeking help from a Mr. Gou whom he didn't know at all, why not seek help from the third prince of the Ming Empire?"

After slapping his forehead suddenly, Innocent 10th said, "Yes, that's true. I just forgot about the third prince.

If the third prince is willing to help us bring some learned people to Europe from the Ming Empire, it will be a great help to us to promote the reform of language and writing."

Ferdinand said: "That's right. And according to intelligence, the third prince has now begun to promote language and writing reforms in Bavaria, but it is much more moderate than what we imagined."

Innocent X said in a daze: "Gentle?"

"Yes, moderate. The bilingual system that the third prince now promotes is to recognize both our language and writing, as well as the language and writing of the Ming Empire.

In order to promote his reform, using the language and writing of the Ming Dynasty would be given a bonus - whether it is the examination system he is now promoting or when he is handling official duties, using the language and writing of the Ming Dynasty would be given an additional advantage."

Innocent X asked in a confused look: "Public business? You have to know that the so-called imperial examination system has extra points, but how do you add points in official business? Isn't this a joke?"

Ferdinand III said with a serious expression: "However, the third prince did not mean to make fun of it. I believe you also know that there will be additional rewards to those officials, and if they use Latin, there will be no rewards.

You should know that people are competitive. What would they think when those officials who use Latin see that those officials who use the Ming language and writing are rewarded?

When the upper-level officials start to take the lead, what will the middle-level officials below and the lower-level officials choose? They will definitely choose to learn the language and writing of the Ming Dynasty, which will form a good cycle."

Innocent X shook his head and said, "However, it is undeniable that it is too slow to see certain results in this method. If there are more than ten or even twenty years, there may not be any results?"

After shaking his head, Ferdinand III said: "It's indeed very slow, but the effect is also very obvious, and this method is also the safest way at present. Or why should we be anxious?"

...

The matter discussed by Ferdinand and Innocent soon reached Zhu Ciyi's ears.

Zhu Ciyi, who thought he was knowledgeable, learned countless methods from Emperor Chongzhen, did not expect that Ferdinand and Innocent would have such a slutty operation.

Zhu Ciyi will never forget what Emperor Chongzhen said to him: "If you want to completely destroy a country and nation, the best way is to start with their language and writing.

Erasing their writings that record history and changing the language they use to communicate with each other, over time, a country or nation will lose its historical record and national confidence.

Such a nation is destined to disappear. When you are in Europe, you should also focus on promoting this matter. Take your time, don’t be anxious, and don’t be seen by others.”

It was precisely because of Emperor Chongzhen's teaching that Zhu Ciyi chose the method of seeking stability, without radically overthrowing the original language and writing of Bavaria from top to bottom, nor did he change the Bavarian rules directly to the same as the Ming Dynasty.

In order to achieve this goal, Zhu Ciyi even put a silly hat on his behavior, in order to slowly influence Bavaria and thus the entire Europe.

Now, Ferdinand III and Innocent Ten are actually more radical than themselves, and they are trying to reform the language and writing of the entire Europe at once!

No wonder the father once said that he was not afraid of a god-like opponent, but a dog-like teammate. According to this situation, Europeans had such a Holy Roman Emperor and such a Pope, and were simply taken directly into the ditch by their dog-like teammates!

However, with a god-like sense of operation and not looking long-term enough, isn’t such a candidate the European allies they need?

Especially the Caxton who was sent in front of me is the god of the dog teammates!

After a while of silence, Zhu Ciyi spoke: "I personally express one hundred and ten thousand support for the decision of His Majesty the Emperor and the Pope. However, did Mr. Caxton think about what kind of turmoil this will bring to Europe?"

Caxton hesitated: "There may not be any turmoil, right? Even if there is, where can reform be completed without bleeding?

Your Highness, the Europeans are so hard that they cannot eat enough or wear warm clothes. No matter what aspect, they cannot compare with the people of the Ming Dynasty. They live even worse than the ones in the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to change this situation, you must let the rulers of Europe change their ideas. If you want to change their ideas, you must start with language and words and advance slowly step by step."

Does it have anything to do with this prince?

The Ming Dynasty has developed to this day because of its five thousand years of foundation, with the wise and powerful emperor of the father and his son, what is in Europe? He actually wants to learn from the Ming Dynasty?

After another silence, Zhu Ciyi sighed long: "Yes, I also think that the European people are too difficult, so I reformed in Bavaria and tried to change Europe bit by bit.

However, Mr. Caxton is right, where can reform be successful without bleeding? Since the Holy Roman Emperor and the Pope Crown intend to carry out reforms, how can I not support it?"

Seeing Caxter's face showing joy, Zhu Ciyi continued: "I wonder what Mr. Caxter thinks that this prince should do to help His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and the Pope's Crown?

I mean that in addition to the support of manpower, in fact, I have hired a large number of scholars to Europe. If His Majesty the Emperor and the Pope Crown are willing, I can hire more scholars from the Ming Dynasty, and even ask the father to come forward."

Caxter carefully said: "It is best to provide some more people who are proficient in the imperial examination system?

I had communicated with many people during the Ming Dynasty. The imperial examination system is definitely a great system. The classification of hierarchies will make people work hard to reach the highest academic level."

Zhu Ciyi suddenly became a little confused.

The imperial examination system is to enable people to reach higher academic levels? Isn’t it to select talents and then let these talents work for the royal family and govern the country?

After pondering for a while, Zhu Ciyi said: "Of course there is no problem with this. In fact, among the scholars I hired from the Ming Dynasty, many of them are proficient in the relevant matters of the imperial examination system. They can fully develop a new imperial examination system based on the national conditions of the Holy Roman Empire."

"No, no, no, no, no," after waved his hand and said three times, Kaxter continued: "Your Highness, compared to backwardness and Europe, the imperial examination system of the Ming Empire is already perfect and does not need to be modified at all.

As long as the people hired by His Highness the Prince are those who are proficient in the imperial examination system and let them preside over the imperial examination system in the Holy Roman Empire, I believe that it will definitely make a great improvement in Europe!”

After nodding, Zhu Ciyi said: "Since that's the case, I will hire more scholars from the Ming Dynasty to come to Europe and let them move the imperial examination system of the Ming Empire to the Holy Roman Empire."

Caxton couldn't help but say joy: "Then thank you, Your Highness, I believe the emperor will be very happy if he knows!"

Ferdinand is happy or not, I don’t know, but my father will definitely be very happy!

After complaining a few words in his heart, Zhu Ciyi said: "Mr. Caxter came to Bavaria not only because of the imperial examination system, right?"

Caxton said: "Your Highness the Prince is as wise as your prince! I have another thing to do this time, and I want to ask for your prince's help."
