Chapter 899 Establishing a Research Institute(1/2)
The bigwigs from various departments of the Ming Dynasty were like students who were eager to learn, listening attentively to Zhao Ce’s lectures.
When I heard Zhao Ce’s three musketeers about mathematics, physics and chemistry, no surprise, everyone showed a confused look on their faces.
They know mathematics.
After all, the arithmetic book compiled by Zhao Ce is called "Basic Mathematics".
But even if they believe they have read a lot of books, they have never heard of them?
After more than ten or twenty years of hard study, after being won the palace examination, he went to the Hanlin Academy to continue his studies for ten or even ten years.
Which of the people here takes it out? The books you have read cannot beat others?
But despite this, they kept thinking about it but still didn't expect any relevant information.
After all, arithmetic is all miscellaneous for them.
Not to mention other weird books.
However, Zhao Ce said that after learning these three books, can all kinds of gods and Buddhas be invited?
Zhu Houzhao suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
"Please God and Buddha?"
He slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Can Maxim Bodhisattva, whom you mentioned before, please come down by studying these three books?"
Great compassionate Maxim Bodhisattva?
This name of the Bodhisattva, which had never been heard before, made everyone present confused.
"Your Highness, this Bodhisattva, we have never heard of it?"
"Yes, where does this Bodhisattva come from?"
Hearing everyone's questions, Zhu Houzhao explained: "I don't know anything about it."
"But Dingxi Hou told me."
"As long as you invite this Bodhisattva, the era of cavalry will be completely over."
Ending the era of cavalry?
These words made everyone present shock their bodies.
The meaning of this sentence is naturally not to be explained.
To end the era of cavalry, there is no doubt that the nomadic peoples in the north will no longer pose a threat.
This Bodhisattva can solve such great troubles in his mind?
"There is really such a god?"
Liu Jian frowned, obviously not believing it.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to defeat him, but Liu Jian was the chief minister of the cabinet no matter how much he said.
Moreover, he had never seen this Bodhisattva with his own eyes.
He could only retort with some confidence: "Dingxi Hou said there was, so of course there was."
"We have never seen anything overseas."
"Don't he know everything?"
"I've said now that as long as you learn these three books well, you can invite them."
"I think this is nothing strange."
After hearing what Zhu Houzhao refuted for him, Zhao Ce smiled and said nothing.
After all, what he said was the truth.
It’s just that this era cannot be done for the time being, and they just can’t understand it.
Ji Zhong asked, "Mr. Marquis, who wrote the two books on physics and chemistry?"
"If so, can I borrow it to read it?"
The wonderful uses of mathematics have been realized by Yu Zhong.
After all, the emergence of this new version of Baochao is indeed much better than the old version.
The other two books must also have their own uses.
Zeng Jian also came to his senses and quickly said, "I want to borrow some of it."
"Earing the Marquis' tone, these two books seem to record a lot of useful information from our Ministry of Works."
"If you can learn a few things, it will be of great use!"
When Zhao Ce spoke these three books, he actually didn't think too much about it.
Today's Ming Dynasty is the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and the world of Confucianism.
Of course, there is a positive effect on the dynasty.
But it has also imprisoned people's thoughts for too long.
Therefore, Zhao Ce just took advantage of the current momentum of hot air balloons to make these civil servants interested.
I believe that no ancient man could remain calm and calm after seeing the equipment that could carry people to fly. He was not curious at all.
Just be curious.
If you are curious, you will want to explore.
The process of science is the process of exploration.
Even if it is just a small advance in science, it may undergo drastic changes for a country.
Zhao Ce smiled and said, "These two books have not been written yet."
Not written yet?
A group of people looked at Zhao Ce blankly, and were choked by these words in one breath.
Zhao Ce continued: "In fact, it's more than these two books."
"Even mathematics, the one I wrote before, was just a re-written based on other arithmetic books."
"As the source of everything."
"Basic mathematics is just to teach everyone the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations, etc."
"However, I'm not proficient in more depth."
"And in front of these two books, mathematics is just a stepping stone to learn them."
Zhao Ce said something differently.
Admittedly, they all know about arithmetic.
Although they are serious about miscellaneous studies, ICBC actually has a doctorate in arithmetic.
But if the imperial examination is not taken, naturally not many people will study this.
But now after hearing Zhao Ce's words, they suddenly understood a truth.
Mathematics is the source of everything.
So they haven't been able to fly into the sky for so many years. It turns out that it's because they are not good at math?
The group of people looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Zhao Ce meaningfully.
He asked slowly, "Are these books really so magical?"
"But you also say that this book has not been written yet, so how do you know there are these two books?"
Zhao Ce replied calmly: "That's because on the other side of the ocean, many people have begun to prepare to write these books that will have a huge impact on the country."
"If the writing is successful, the entire country will change dramatically."
Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly and was also thinking.
People on the other side of the ocean have already started writing?
So this is why their weapons are now stronger than the Ming Dynasty?
Zhao Ce naturally knew better than them about the matter on the other side of the ocean.
Whether it is the gold and silver mine hidden on the island of Japan, or the cinchona tree coming from further away.
There is no doubt that Zhao Ce’s understanding of the outside world is above them.
Emperor Hongzhi pondered: "Then can you write it?"
After hearing this, the others also looked at Zhao Ce with bright eyes.
Zhao Ce smiled and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, with my own strength, I really can't write these books."
"But if your Majesty wants, I suggest we can set up a special research institute."
