Chapter 486: The Eighth Year of Apocalypse
Behind Zhu Youxiao was the Wei Chao.
The two walked forward together, walking relaxed and brisk, and looking wandering, which made people envious.
In fact, in the past four years, Zhu Youxiao did nothing at all. He spent most of his time sorting out the court, adjusting officials, and guiding his mind.
In other aspects, Zhu Youxiao did not make any big moves at all, which made the court stable for four years.
Although there are constant natural disasters and man-made disasters in various places, because Zhu Youxiao is powerful, no trouble has occurred.
After four years of development, the Ming Dynasty felt a sense of peace and prosperity, which made Zhu Youxiao's prestige increase a lot.
However, Zhu Youxiao was not very satisfied with this. Nowadays, some things can be officially started.
In the eighth year of Apocalypse, this year that has never appeared in history, naturally, we have to do something different.
"Let's go and have a look." Zhu Youxiao said to Wei Chao beside him while strolling.
The two of them turned a corner and walked back along the Royal Academy road.
This straight red brick road caused quite a stir at the beginning.
Because there are many statues on both sides of the road, I learned from the blue brick road next to it.
The Qing brick road worships some sages, and are called the sages.
On this red brick road, all the statues next to them are famous officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they are called famous officials.
As soon as the famous minister came out, it naturally caused a lot of sensation.
There is nothing to say about the path of the sages. This is the Royal Academy, and it is natural to worship the sages.
And things like famous ministers are naturally different. Now that I have entered the road of famous ministers, I think that if the Royal Academy is passed down in the future, the statue of this person will always be displayed here to later scholars.
If relatives or elders are displayed here at home, scholars will naturally have glory in their hearts. If they are officials or scholars in the court, they will naturally want to stay in this position and let future generations pay good attention to themselves.
Zhu Youxiao did not work as one-size-fits-all. There are also such famous officials in the royal academies everywhere. However, the statues are not famous officials in the capital, but their local officials.
After these famous local officials were reported by local governments, the court verified and approved it, and then they would be built in the royal academies in various places to set an example for local scholars.
In addition to the statue, there is also an inscription next to the statue, which describes their process of being ministers.
Walking on this road, everyone was in awe.
Whether in this era or in later generations, Chinese people attach great importance to this kind of thing, which should be regarded as a kind of inheritance, but it has evolved into museums and other places in later generations.
The more famous one is Taizu's memorial hall. After people entered, they naturally felt awe-in.
Zhu Youxiao and the others walked along this road. After crossing Mingchen Road, they turned a corner and came to a yard behind.
The sign at the entrance of the yard reads:
Qixian Pavilion.
Qixian Pavilion is a place established by Zhu Youxiao three years ago. In these three years, a lot of things have also appeared.
If the Baigong Academy is a scientific research institution of the Ming Dynasty, then Qixian Pavilion is a ideological research institution of the Ming Dynasty.
In the past three years, many good things have been published in Qixian Pavilion, which can be used as guidance for the Ming Dynasty thought, such as the Four People's Theory, the theory of law, and the theory of heavenly rituals that are very popular now.
This is also something that Zhu Youxiao must change.
If scientific knowledge is to be promoted, then the theory of the induction of heaven and man that exists now becomes the biggest stumbling block on this road.
The theory of induction of heaven and man gave the royal family an incomparable majesty, and at the same time limiting the development of natural science. If you want to promote natural science, you must naturally break out of this barrier.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao wanted to cut off the induction of heaven and man, and after breaking out of the induction of heaven and man, he found a legal route for himself. This is naturally the theory of destiny.
It was the same as what Zhu Youxiao promoted before, but it was noisy before, and this time it was officially enthroned as a national policy.
The reason why the Zhu family was able to be emperor was because the Zhu family made contributions to the world. God rewarded the old Zhu family for their contributions, so he made the old Zhu family become emperor. The ministers' contributions were rewarded by the old Zhu family, which is called rewards on behalf of the heavens.
After making a cut with the induction of heaven and man, Qixianguan vigorously promoted natural science. In the past two years, many of these things have been spread, bringing a lot of impact to the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a change in the ideological world.
After all, the seven thousand books brought by Jinnige, plus some things collected by Zhu Youxiao, can make up for many shortcomings in the Ming Dynasty.
For example, the earth is round, such as various math, physics, and chemistry knowledge.
This reform can be said to have taken root and sprouted, and with the encouragement and promotion of Zhu Youxiao, it began to shine. Especially in the Royal Academy, it made many people obsessed.
After all, this knowledge needs to be promoted. Zhu Youzhao once opened a science college, but the effect was not obvious. But it doesn’t matter, just lure it for profit.
Zhu Youxiao issued an imperial edict at that time, that any student who graduated from the School of Science would be directly awarded the title of Jinshi and could be granted the title of official.
Although some people don’t believe it, it actually attracted a lot of people.
Moreover, Zhu Youxiao believes that as time goes by, there will be more and more such people, and then there will be more and more officials who will be able to appoint them.
Zhu Youxiao knew very well what technocrats meant.
As he stepped into Qixian Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao could clearly hear the argument inside, and he had no intention of passing it.
Zhu Youxiao came to Qixian Pavilion just for a walk, took a look, and listened, and had no idea of saying anything to these people.
You should know that each of these people has their own unique thoughts, and more sparks will be created here.
Now someone has dug out ancient books and began to carefully select the academics of various schools. If you find useful ones, you will take them over. Then you will put a theory of the Confucius family and spread it.
Now these people are familiar with doing such things. Confucius has completely become a little princess and can be dressed up by others.
It doesn’t matter to Zhu Youxiao. He was the one who started this trend at the beginning, and now he feels like the Renaissance of the Ming Dynasty.
Just take something useful.
Thousands of years of ancient wisdom rejuvenated at this moment.
Zhu Youxiao was also happy to see this situation. He walked forward with his hands behind his back, and his face was always very happy.
After passing through Qixian Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao and his wife arrived at the library soon.
Walking into the library gate, Zhu Youxiao found that the whole world had become quiet.
It is strictly forbidden to make noise here, and even speak in a low voice.
The yard of the library is very large, or very large. There are many stone tables and stones in the yard and many green plants are planted.
Many students were sitting at the stone table flipping through books, with serious and serious expressions on their faces.
Zhu Youxiao also saw many elderly people, who were also holding the book collection and frowning and looking at it.
This is the Royal Library. In addition to the students of the Royal Academy, there are many people coming to the city.
Some famous scholars and ministers in the court all have permits.
It is impossible to block everyone out. If that is the case, this place will become the library of the Royal Academy, not the Royal Library of the Ming Dynasty.
The reason for limiting the flow is simply that too many people want to come. If the library is crowded with people, the scene will not be very good.
The most important thing is to limit the abortion of people coming in and not let them steal the books. You must know that there are not a few people who covet books from the Royal Library of the Ming Dynasty.
However, Zhu Youxiao also sent someone to print some versions for sale, and there were also some locations here. The more important the book is, the higher the borrowing level required.
Zhu Youxiao walked behind his back, and he had no intention of reading the books here, but turned around and walked backwards.
After passing through the corridor, Zhu Youxiao came to a small courtyard.
At this point, his face became serious.
After stepping in, Zhu Youxiao saw the guards at the door.
Zhu Youxiao has traveled to so many places, but he is not as strict as the guards in this place.
A simple place seems extraordinary.
But Zhu Youxiao didn't care; he still walked inside.
On the contrary, after seeing Zhu Youxiao, the guards fell to their knees on the ground and saluted Zhu Youxiao.
Obviously, these people knew the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so it can be seen that Zhu Youxiao often came here.
After walking in, Zhu Youxiao saw the busy people coming and going inside.
This is the world of Ming Dynasty knowledge and the gathering place of Ming Dynasty knowledge.
Why do you say so?
Because this is the place for Zhu Youxiao to edit books.
The host is named Wang Cheng, an old man in his fifties, married a fifteen-year-old girl as his concubine.
This concubine should be eighteen years old now, right? Or in her twenties?
Zhu Youxiao no longer pays attention to it. Anyway, the old man has not given birth to a son now. Obviously, it is not his wife's problem, but his own problem.
After studying natural sciences, especially the medical knowledge passed down from the West, especially some of the knowledge Zhu Youxiao asked him to write, Wang Zheng sometimes regrets it.
In Wang Zheng's words, a wife who was so old was already committing a crime. As for his belief in Catholicism, he is no longer so pious.
The reason is also very simple. Zhu Youxiao asked Wang Zheng to write a history of Catholicism, clearly showing the entire missionary history before him.
It was bloody and messy, and it was written on the atonement money and the cross expedition.
So Wang Cheng knew something: Catholicism is no different from Buddhism and Taoism. As for the things he likes, it is no different from religion.
In the words of Your Majesty, this is called natural science. When these people preached, they used natural science to deceive them a lot.
After Zhu Youxiao told Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng completely changed his faith and is now a firm believer in the Scientific Theocracy.
Zhu Youxiao sent Wang Zheng here to compile books, but what he did not practice was not ordinary books, but books from later generations.
