Seeing the emperor walking around the desk, Qi Tai could feel his depression and anxiety even if he didn't speak.
Zhu Gaoxu mentioned the term technology many times, which he himself should attach great importance to.
At this time, Qi Tai could not deny the relationship.
Perhaps Qi Tai was able to find a large number of reasonable evidence from the classics, and using the principle of virtue, the great way, the hearts of the people, etc. to explain the success or failure of a great cause; but he did not do so.
In the decisive battle of Huguang and the Battle of Zhili, the scene of the Han king roaring and tearing open the enemy's military formation was more convincing than any reason.
The reason why Qi Tai didn't say anything was because he didn't understand the drawings of the mechanism.
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly stopped pacing and said: Since Qian Youzun, Maobaihu and I have no choice, we can only rely on people with talent in this regard.
Qian Xun bent down and asked: I respectfully ask the emperor, who is a talented person?
Zhu Gaoxu said: There were hundreds of trillions of subjects in the Ming Dynasty, and there were always some people with talent.Give those people access and opportunities, and not limited to craftsmanship status.If the court's kindness covers 100,000 people, as long as one person is a genius and has achieved technological innovation, then all costs can be earned back.
We used the imperial examination to select many talents to govern the country, so the Central Plains dynasty can often last for hundreds of years.However, the court not only attached importance to farming technology and never invested in other aspects, but only relied on time and luck to develop slowly.We can change the rules.
Qian Xun turned his head and looked at Qi Tai quietly. Qi Tai didn't have much thought about such remarks, so the two looked at each other.
Zhu Gaoxu hesitated a little and said: The reform has reached a bottleneck, and it is time to take action fundamentally.
Qian Xun asked curiously: The emperor clearly said, what is the fundamental?
Zhu Gaoxu said: Education.
After saying that, he walked to the bookshelf in the northwest corner, took a wooden stool and looked for something on it himself.
Qi Tai, Qian Xun, Mao Kaishan and others hurriedly stepped forward to protect Zhu Gaoxu.
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu found a wooden box and took out a booklet from it.
Zhu Gaoxu looked through the booklet and Qi Tai saw a lot of sloppy words written on it.Zhu Gaoxu found a few pages and tore them straight off.
You can start with children from craftsmen and then promote them nationwide, and the funds are allocated specifically by the national treasury.Zhu Gaoxu handed the paper to Qi Tai. Because the content of the teaching is different from that of private schools and elementary schools, I call it "primary school".The common people of craftsmanship, no matter the rich or poor, can study for free, mainly teaching basic literacy and arithmetic; and some ideas of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness can be integrated into simple literacy articles.
While looking at the things written on it, Qi Tai asked, "Master, how much money does this cost per year?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: I haven't calculated it yet.
But he quickly said something again, a king from afar said something, and I think it makes sense.He said he had never heard of running education that a country could make it poor (German Emperor).
Qi Tai looked at it for a while, but still didn't rush to hand it to Qian Xun beside him.Because the things recorded above are really a bit novel, he can't understand them for a while.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu called a few people back to the desk, pointed to the things on the paper and said: A few years ago, I was collecting some simpler teaching methods.Compared with elementary school, there are four changes in total.
This is an Indian number and is used in arithmetic.
Indians were very accomplished in mathematics. After the Hui and Islamic sects who went to Persia conquered India, they also captured their mathematicians to teach their own people, so many people thought that these were Arabic numerals.
In order to adapt to the writing methods of arithmetic and formulas, Xinxue's articles have been changed to the habit of reading from left to right, and mainly use horizontal lines of text.Official documents, letters, calligraphy, etc. remain unchanged.
This symbol is a pinyin letter, divided into vowels and consonants; any pronunciation can be spelled out by using two letters combined with four phonetic symbols.I also marked the pronunciation of letters with Chinese characters with the same pronunciation.This method can make literacy easier and faster promoting it to illiterate people.There are also symbols for breaking sentences, which are also to make reading and literacy easier.Text changes to practicality, and the original writing method can still be used in literature and art.
At this time, Qian Xun said: If this method is implemented, the master's achievements will be comparable to those of the First Emperor.
Mao Kaishan, who was a craftsman, immediately agreed without hesitation.
Qi Tai just nodded slightly, without rashly making a clear statement, and he had not had time to think carefully.
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be inspired: After I summoned the ministers to discuss, I would arrange specific implementation strategies.
Qi Tai finally spoke: The emperor clearly understands that this method may be useful, but it must not be a one-day effort or a long-term strategy.This matter may not have any effect on the current southern expedition of the court.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately responded: What Qibutang said was extremely true.But if you don’t do these things now, you will not be able to develop technology in the future.
Qi Tai said again: I don’t know how many troops can be mobilized for war in Zhenla, Siam, Mantaga, Java and other countries.
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said: Referring to the number of mobilized people in Annan when the first expedition of Annan, I believe that Zhenla, which has a larger territory, can mobilize troops, may not exceed 100,000.Because Annan Kingdom has been learning the ruling system of the Central Plains, its mobilization ability is likely to be stronger than that of the southern countries...
When Zhu Gaoxu said this, he looked at Qi Tai and stopped talking.
Even if a country mobilizes troops, it cannot exceed 100,000, the enemy's troops are far beyond the limit of the Ming army's expedition.
However, I believe that those foreign countries may not gather main forces and fight head-on, and they will find ways to rely on the terrain and climate to deal with the official army.Zhu Gaoxu said.
Qi Tai said: If this is the case, the court does not have to worry too much.Our dynasty’s strategy is not to occupy the countries, but to gain a foothold in the port.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: Qibutang’s words are reasonable.
He walked back to the chair above and sat down, saying: Qibutang can collect more suggestions so that the court can persuade the ministers.
Qi Tai bowed and said: I will receive the order.
Qian Xun put away the iron factory's files, and the three of them gave a big gift together and thanked them for their gratitude and gave up.
The next day, Qi Tai went to the palace to participate in the morning court and other etiquette, and then he did not return to the yamen office to work.
He took some entourage to Longjiang Port to inspect the navy.
The Ming naval soldiers and most of the sea ships were stationed in Liujiagang in Taicang, located on the east side of the capital.
Qi Tai did not go to Liujiagang because it was too far away.
The dock in Longjiang Port was very noisy, and the air was covered with the sound of tinging and clanging, and a faint fishy smell came from the riverside.
The officials here knew that Qi Tai was coming, so they led the crowd to greet him, and then the group took Qi Tai around the dock.
Almost all the people here are craftsmen, busy repairing ships, replacing some old sailing ropes and other items.
Qi Tai listened with great interest, and the small official in the dock explained everything.
Although Qi Tai does not know much about sea ships and navigation, as the Minister of War, it is necessary for him to understand some specific matters of sea ships in a situation where the naval status is getting higher and higher.
After inspecting the dock, Qi Tai had just walked on the main road and met Tang Jing, the military officer of the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the commander of the Navy.
Tang Jing was wearing a red robe. If it weren't for the beast's patch on his belly, it looked very different from the dress of this person and the civil servant.
Before Qi Tai got on the carriage, he stood next to the carriage and greeted Tang Jing.
The rank of military officers of the Ming Dynasty was generally very high, and there were too many military officers of the third rank in the capital.
Qi Tai was able to know Tang Jing entirely because Tang Jing was a military general in the navy and had participated in the two discussions at the East Warehouse Pavilion.
Tang Jing claimed that he was working in Longjiang Port just now, and when he heard that the Minister of War had arrived, he came to receive it.
After the two of them made some polite words, Tang Jing took the initiative to invite him, claiming that there is a winery south of Lion Mountain, where the dishes and wine were both top-quality, and he wanted to invite Qi Tai to eat meat and drink.
Qi Tai had to politely decline: Today is the time for the time being. If we go to drink and have fun, we are afraid that our colleagues from the Censorate will hear the news and have something to say.
Tang Jing said angrily: Qibutang doesn’t want to appreciate his face, and the last general doesn’t force him.
Qi Tai still smiled: The Longjiang Temple above Longjiang Port is an acquaintance with me. After noon, we will use some vegetarian meal together, and probably no one will say anything.
Tang Jing clasped his fists and said: It's great, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful to the last general.It was still early, where did Qibutang want to go?
Qi Tai looked at the bustling pier in front of him and said: How about we just walk by the river?
Tang Jing nodded, and after a while he asked directly: So, the court decided to fight south from the sea?
Qi Tai felt that this sounded a little strange, and he clearly said nothing.
However, there is no need to hide this matter from the general. Qi Tai said: Because this matter is almost always the same as the officials, and it has to wait for the court to discuss it before the decision can be made.
The two talked for a while, and Tang Jing suddenly asked: I have met Liu Ming with the Ministry of Justice twice recently. Should I know about Liu Tiju and Qibutang?
Qi Tai said in a daze: Liu Tiju is in the Ministry of Justice. I am an official in the Ministry of War. Why should I know about him?
Tang Jing smiled, as if there was something meaningful.
Qi Tai was not considered a new party in the court. Many colleagues' views on him were that he was sandwiched between the old officials of the Han Palace and the old ministers, and was equivalent to a peacemaker.
But this general seemed to have already classified Qi Tai as the new party.
For a moment, Qi Tai didn't know whether Tang Jing was smart or reckless.
Tang Jing turned to look at the silent Qi Tai: Qibutang really doesn’t know?
Qi Tai shook his head and said: Liu Ming really didn't tell me what General Tang was referring to?
Tang Jing seemed to be recalling.
Qi Tai also looked back at him, facing a strong wind blowing from the river. Qi Tai felt a little suffocating under the pressure of the wind, and suddenly felt that even the river was so wide and vast.
Zhu Gaoxu mentioned the term technology many times, which he himself should attach great importance to.
At this time, Qi Tai could not deny the relationship.
Perhaps Qi Tai was able to find a large number of reasonable evidence from the classics, and using the principle of virtue, the great way, the hearts of the people, etc. to explain the success or failure of a great cause; but he did not do so.
