Chapter 261
"Not only that, but at that time, I also plan to translate this book. I wonder if you love me, would you like to help me?"

"At that time, your names will appear in this book."

After Jiajing finished explaining to Yan Shifan, he turned his attention to Yan Song and the others, and said slowly.

Hearing the emperor's words, the breathing of everyone present couldn't help but become rapid.

After all, this is the achievement of writing a book!
Throughout the ages, many students have pursued lifelong pursuits other than self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country and the world, and the highest pursuit is to write books and write stories, so as to obtain a famous name in history and last forever.

Right now, the emperor actually entrusted him with the job that countless scholars in the world dream of. Isn't this a kind of reward?

No, this is much more valuable than a reward!
"Your Majesty has only revealed a small amount of knowledge so far, and with this small amount of knowledge, he not only solved the problem of the ratio of gunpowder, but also proposed the idea of ​​a new weapon called a grenade!"

"If you can translate all the content in the book "Science", wouldn't it be..."

Yan Song didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this moment, he suddenly came back to his senses, and there was a trace of fanaticism and reverence in his eyes looking at Jiajing.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Song took the lead and knelt on the ground, trembling.

"Report to Your Majesty, the minister is willing!"

"The minister is willing!"

After Yan Song, the rest of the people also knelt down and said in unison.

"Well, that's right. If that's the case, when I finish teaching at the Imperial College, I'll officially start editing."

Jiajing seemed to have anticipated the current situation, and his mood did not fluctuate too much. He nodded and said slowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey."

Seeing that the matter of compiling the book had been settled, Yan Song immediately breathed a sigh of relief and responded.

"Your Majesty, my minister has always had a question, and I hope His Majesty can clarify it."

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng on the side also raised corresponding questions to Jiajing.

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter."

Jiajing's expression was calm, and then he looked away from Zhang Juzheng.

"Your Majesty, my question is, how much knowledge does that book called "Science" contain?"

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's question, Jiajing chuckled lightly, and then replied.

"The knowledge in this book is endless, from astronomy to geography, everything in the world!"

"Even I have only spied a corner of it."

'Hiss~' Even though everyone had made relevant psychological preparations in advance, the words from the emperor's mouth still shocked everyone present.

"This book called "Science" covers everything from astronomy to geography, everything in the world!"

"Even His Majesty, who is knowledgeable and wise, has only glimpsed a part of the knowledge. If someone can understand all the knowledge in it, wouldn't it be..."

Jiajing seemed to have guessed what everyone was thinking, and then explained.

"Many people spend their whole lives, but only in one of the fields, to obtain corresponding achievements!"

"And more people have never even crossed the threshold, and they have been doing nothing all their lives, and they just died without a name."

Hearing the emperor's words, the extraordinarily shining light in the eyes of everyone present also dimmed a lot.

"However, later generations can draw conclusions based on the theories put forward by the predecessors and the lessons learned. Only those who follow one after another and never go before are science!"

"If this is the case, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and our Ming Dynasty will prosper forever!"

Jiajing withdrew his gaze from everyone, and then added.

And all the people present, after listening to the emperor's words, seemed to have a clear understanding, and they all seemed to be in deep thought.

"So that's it, that's it, I understand!"

After listening to Jiajing's words, Yan Shifan on the side kept murmuring, and after a long time, he saw a gleam of light burst out of his eyes, and said silently to himself.

"Forgive me for asking boldly. At that time, what courses will you teach at the Imperial College, Your Majesty?"

Gao Gong plucked up the courage to stand up, and then asked a question that everyone present was very concerned about.

"That's right, Your Majesty will teach at the Imperial College, what courses will you teach?"

After Gao Gong stood up, the rest of the people thought so in their hearts.

For Gao Gong's question, Jiajing just smiled and did not answer directly, but stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky.

Undoubtedly, Jiajing's action quickly caused an uproar at the scene, and everyone began to discuss in low voices.

"What, the content of your Majesty's lecture at the Imperial College is actually related to heaven!"

"Yeah, I don't know what His Majesty is going to say."

"Your Majesty just pointed to the sky with his finger, so he must be talking about God!"

"I also think that must be the case."

Seeing that the direction of everyone's discussion was getting more and more biased, Jiajing coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and explained.

"Ahem, you will know when the time comes."

"Anyway, what I'm talking about won't have anything to do with God!"

After Jiajing explained such a sentence, he stopped talking.

The people present were even more puzzled by the emperor's explanation.

"It has nothing to do with God, so what will His Majesty say then..."

Seeing that everyone wanted to continue guessing, Jiajing slowly retracted his gaze and ordered.

"Okay, let's stop here for today!"

"Go down and get busy, I still have some things to deal with."

Seeing that the emperor had given orders, everyone had no choice but to respectfully respond.

"Your Majesty, I obey!"

"Ah."

Jiajing nodded, his expression was quite calm, and he responded immediately.

Afterwards, a group of people embarked on the journey back from the Weapons Department.

……

Forbidden City, Cabinet.

After everyone came back from the Weapons Department, they still had unsatisfied expressions on their faces. Looking at the mountains of memorials on the table, no one was interested in reviewing them for the time being.

There is no other reason. What I saw in the Weapons Department today was too shocking. Not only did everyone see a new type of weapon called "Grenade", the power of its explosion was comparable to the shells fired by cannons.

Not only that, His Majesty also saw the disadvantages at a glance, and gave a corresponding improvement plan.

Among them, the most important thing is that at that time, His Majesty will translate the contents of the science book!
And this important task just fell on the head of the cabinet, that is to say, everyone can leave their names in the compiled books, so they have the opportunity to be famous forever!

In the end, it was Yan Song who spoke first and broke the silence.

"Everyone, Your Majesty has entrusted us with such an important task as compiling books, can we disappoint His Majesty!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Jie out of the corner of his eye, pointing out something.

And Xu Jie didn't notice anything about it, he just followed Yan Song's words and reminded him.

"Everyone, this is something to write a book about. If we do it well, we may all be famous in history!"

"And be admired by countless scholars of later generations!"

Seeing the chief minister of the cabinet and the second minister of the cabinet speaking one after another, emphasizing the importance of this matter, everyone present could only nod in agreement, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
