My Daming New Empire

However, the King of Han had already ordered to cooperate with the other party, so Wang Dianbo followed the other party's wishes and reminded him again. "Changqing just saw that although the grandson is young, he has won the hearts of the people. It is more difficult to deal with him than the prince."

Qiu Changqing said with a smile: "Although I haven't been in the capital these years, I also know that Taisun wants to expand the territory for Ming Dynasty and plans to conquer overseas. Only when he leaves the capital, is it a good time for us to act."

Wang Dianbo's heart trembled. Although he didn't say what he was going to do, it was obvious that this event was more shocking than he had imagined.

He pointed to a box he brought with him when he boarded the boat and said, "Your Majesty has followed His Highness's arrangement and brought over 1000 taels of silver and three thousand bills. Although the price of money is low now, it can be used time."

Qiu Changqing pouted secretly, but didn't say anything, nodded and said: "I'm going to the city today, and it's inconvenient to contact you. This person's name is Qiu Gui, and he's pretty reliable. From now on, he will be the one to contact you and me. "

Xie Jin came to Beijing in the early years, and under the influence of Hu Guang, he built a house in Jiqing Gate.

Not only did the two families live close together, but they were also close to each other. Hu Guang betrothed his daughter to Xie Zhenliang, Xie Jin's son.

Xie's family has a long history of family studies.The first generation of Xie Jin, Hongwu 21 years, No. 10 of the top three Jinshi in the Zhongwuchen Division, and his brother Xie Lun and brother-in-law Huang Jinhua in the imperial examination.

In his next generation, his two sons, Xie Zhenliang and Xie Zhenying, and his elder brother Xie Lun's son, Xie Zhenqi, were also famous in the capital.

Especially in Xie Zhen period, his father Xie Lun was a famous talented man, and his mother Ouyang Wan was even more powerful, and was a descendant of Ouyang Xiu.

But he has not lost his family style, his calligraphy and paintings are hard to buy, and his strategies are sparse and self-satisfying, which is unmatched by the younger generation.

Zhu Zhanji came to the neighborhood where Xie's family lived, but saw that dozens of Jinyiwei had blocked off the block.

Ji Gang is not here now, although he is not considered a new official, but Sai Hazhi is considered to be in full control of the power of Jinyiwei.

He doesn't have Ji Gang's ruthlessness, and it stands to reason that as an old-age official, he is not suitable for the position of commander of Jinyiwei.

But Zhu Di also thinks that the Jinyiwei has killed too much these years. Now that the people are in peace for a long time, he also controls the overall situation inside and outside the court, so he let the Jinyiwei stop for a while, so Saiha Zhi can be in charge of the Jinyiwei at the same time as Ji Gang.

Sai Hazhi is a peaceful person, and he does things well. Although the commander of Jinyiwei is his old-age position.But because of this, the work is more and more meticulous, and I dare not make any mistakes.

"Chen Xie Jin and his family welcome His Royal Highness Grandson..."

It wasn't the first time Zhu Zhanji came to Xie's house. Although Xie Jin and the others didn't kneel down to greet him, they greeted them outside the gate respectfully.

Zhu Zhanji took a step forward, held Xie Jin's arms and said with a smile: "Master Xie doesn't need to be polite. Zhan Ji has been taught by Master Xie since he was a child. On the birthday of Master Xie, Zhan Ji also came to join in the fun. Li Shaojian, give the gift superior."

In addition to Xie's family, Hu Guang, a servant of the Imperial Academy, is also among them.He and Xie Jin are not only fellow villagers and classmates, but are now colleagues.

Zhu Di also knew that they were very close. He once proposed that Hu Guang marry his daughter to Xie Zhenliang, the son of Xie Jin, during the banquet.The two families immediately got engaged, and among the ministers of the court, they were close civil servants who could not help forming a party.

Compared with Xie Jin's high IQ and low EQ, Hu Guang is an old fox with high IQ and high EQ.

In Zhu Zhanji's impression, he and Yang Shiqi are the jack of all trades among civil servants, and they get along well with everyone.

After Hu Guang saw the ceremony, Zhu Zhanji greeted the three heroes of the younger generation of the Xie family again.Xie Jin is not really a handsome guy, he's just an idiot, but his two sons and a nephew are both Yushu Linfeng.

It was because of Zhu Zhanji that Xie Jin was released. He was out of prison and had nothing to do. It was Zhu Zhanji who arranged a noble enough position for him so that his reputation would not be discredited.

Also because of Zhu Zhanji's care, although he has no real power now, no one dares to despise him.After all, he is Zhu Zhanji's most respected teacher. If he lives long enough and Zhu Zhanji ascends the throne, he will be a generation of emperor teacher.

In contrast, although Hu Guang is also Zhu Zhanji's teacher, his closeness to Zhu Zhanji is not enough.This is mainly because he has not been a teacher for Zhu Zhanji for a long time, so this is also his biggest regret.

After being invited to the upper seat in the lobby, everyone exchanged greetings for a while before Zhu Zhanji asked Li Liang to take out another book and said, "Master Xie, Master Hu, Zhanji Zheng Zongbing brought back Book [-] in Xiyang a month ago. More than a hundred volumes, translated by more than a dozen people. The book "Geometry" brought back from the West this time complements the geometric formulas that were occasionally obtained before, and also allows Zhanji to see the rare essence of Western culture. However, geometry Although this book is precious, Zhanji pays more attention to the letters and symbols used by Westerners in this book, because the application of these letters and symbols makes the formulas more concise and easy to calculate."

Handing the book to Xie Jin, Zhu Zhanji smiled apologetically at Hu Guang and said, "There is only one copy of this book, but I'm sorry for Master Hu."

Even if Hu Guang had a little lump in his heart, Zhu Zhanji explained it this way, and he wouldn't care.Hastily smiled and said: "Your Highness, you are being polite. Guang is an unexpected visitor today, so how can you overwhelm the host. I am just a little curious. Your Highness doesn't have any preference for classics. Why would you pay attention to a book that has been handed down from overseas. The barbarian land is really comparable to My Book of the Brilliance of China?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "The world is so big, there are many wonders. China is certainly outstanding, but the barbarian land is not without outstanding people. For example, the author of the book Geometry is a master of mathematics at the same time as Confucius. The entire Western Regions are based on This book is a precious book, study it carefully. Another 2000 years ago, when I was in the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of China, the West already had the prototype of the book Geometry, and this knowledge appeared, which has a longer history than my Chinese classics.”

The two were dumbfounded. If Zhu Zhanji was not the grandson, they would have jumped up and said that Zhu Zhanji was ridiculous.

The formation of Chinese culture was basically during the Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and that period was only 2000 years ago.

Pushing forward, although the three emperors and five emperors shouted loudly, everyone had to admit that it was still a barbaric era, and even the invention of writing was still in its infancy, so there would be no classics.

But in that era, there was geometry in the West?Doesn't this mean that the history of Chinese culture is not as good as that barbarian land in the West?

Xie Jin asked, "Does Your Highness have proof?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head with a smile and said: "I have never been to the West, how can I have evidence, but it is only calculated from the book. According to Western books, 4000 years ago, in a Western country called Egypt, there was a The big river longer than my Yangtze River is called the Nile River. The second river floods every year, always submerging the land on both sides, and the water recedes, making the boundaries of the land unclear.

At that time, in order to remeasure the boundaries of the flooded land, the people of Egypt always carried out land survey every year.As a result, much knowledge has been accumulated in measuring land.Thus arises a rudimentary knowledge of geometry.The original meaning of the word geometry in the West is the skill of measuring land. "

The two couldn't believe it, but because there was no evidence, they couldn't just say that Zhu Zhanji was talking nonsense.I wanted to refute it, but it was irrefutable, so I opened the book.

The dissemination of the knowledge system is actually passed down from generation to generation, and arithmetic is also one of the skills that students must master in this era.

Otherwise, if you don't know how to measure or calculate, how can you be an official?Of course there are ignorant officials, but for most officials, basic mathematical knowledge must be mastered.

But when they opened the book, they were dumbfounded, because they couldn't understand formulas at all except the words.

Zhu Zhanji then said: "This book uses numbers from the West to enumerate formulas, which are simpler and easier to calculate than my Chinese numbers. So I came here today to borrow the power of the two teachers, Please proofread this book with my Chinese Mathematics, so that more people can master this skill."

Zhu Zhanji can't have too much contact with civil servants now. This area is first of all Zhu Di's scope of rights, and only a little bit is left out for Zhu Gaochi.If Zhu Zhanji wants to develop power in this area again, it will be tantamount to directly grabbing power from his grandfather and father.

Therefore, he wants to spread Arabic numerals and punctuation marks as soon as possible, and it is most appropriate to use Xie Jin, who is currently unreliable.

He is now the benchmark set up by Zhu Zhanji, and he is famous for his literary talents in Daming.The current marginalization in the officialdom can also allow Zhu Zhanji to take advantage of it without any worries, without fear of dissatisfaction with Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The convenience of Arabic numerals compared to Chinese numerals is very clear to every later generation, even people in this era can tell the difference at a glance.

And the application of punctuation marks can make complicated interpretations easier.

However, the promotion of these two is not so easy.

Fortunately, Arabic numerals, even if some people object, but the convenient application method can still make people accept it slowly.For example, the application on weights and measures can gradually be accepted by people.

However, punctuation marks are regarded by Confucianism as a scourge.

From the monopoly of aristocratic families at the very beginning, Yang Jian broke the monopoly of aristocratic families and created the imperial examination.

The right to speak academically was gradually transferred from the aristocratic family to a new class, that is, the scholar class.

For hundreds of years, after the decline of the aristocratic class in the Tang Dynasty and the rise of the scholar class in the Song Dynasty, the scholar class has become a new monopoly school.

They pretend to be profound and set a high threshold, in order to prevent the academic flood, and then stabilize their own interest class.

Therefore, they are the least willing to appear punctuation marks, because punctuation marks make meaning easier to interpret, and they lose the monopoly they are proud of.

But what is beneficial to Zhu Zhanji now is that the invasion of Meng Yuan almost wiped out the cultural heritage of the entire Huaxia.During the period of Mongolian Yuan rule, Confucianism changed from a ruling class to a tool of the emperor.

Kings and scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world, and during the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties, it completely became the hegemony of the emperor.
