Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 349 New World (3)

"Song Qing's performance in the lecture hall and his performance in the Armed Forces and Cleaning Department are completely different."

At a testing site under the jurisdiction of Daming Institute of Technology, Zhu Youxiao smiled, played with the three-eyed gun in his hand, and said to Song Yingxing who was standing next to him: "But it involves theoretical knowledge of guns and artillery. The courses you compiled are very Yes, if you want to develop guns with better performance, longer range, and more power, it is extremely necessary to fully understand the development history of firearms. From this, you can learn what detours have been taken and what caused such detours. This is necessary for future research.”

"Your Majesty is right."

Song Yingxing bowed slightly and said: "The reason why I behaved differently in the two places is because of the different groups I came into contact with. Although many of the students studying at the Daming Institute of Technology were previously apprentices in various workshops under the jurisdiction of the Armed Forces and Cleaning Department, but from now on In a sense, they are pieces of rough jade. If we can carve out a batch of them, the foundation and strength of our Armed Forces Clearing Division will be greatly enhanced."

"However, it is not easy to train them. Many of them have not even experienced enlightenment. They can enter Daming Institute of Technology for further study because they have performed extremely well in terms of practical operations and insights. Now the coursework is taught The progress is relatively slow.”

Zhu Youxiao smiled.

There is no such thing as the best of both worlds. For those who are educated and literate, there may be some of them who are willing to dabble in other fields. However, affected by the overall ideological trend of the Ming Dynasty, they will be labeled as not doing their jobs properly. Representative figures among them There are Wang Zheng, Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Sun Yuanhua and others, and more of them are to participate in the imperial examination and then advance into the official career amid thousands of competitions.

The idea of ​​officialdom has affected too many people, especially for scholars. If you cannot pass the scientific examination and become an official in this life, it will be a failure!
"Take your time, there is no need to rush this matter."

Zhu Youxiao calmed down his mind, put down the three-eyed blunderbuss, and said with a smile: "I specially ordered the young master to select an imperial village in the suburbs of Beijing, and then to build various courtyards. I never thought that it would be effective in the short term. After all, there are too many Things can't be accomplished simply by being anxious. As the old saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu if you're anxious."

"Just like the development of the Arms and Cleaning Department, the corresponding majors under the jurisdiction of Daming Institute of Technology are developing. The two can be combined to complement each other. Teaching must be carried out and practical practice must not be discarded. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Only Only by effectively implementing this idea can Ming Dynasty achieve greater changes."

Yes.

Song Yingxing nodded in approval. Just like when he talked with Western missionaries in the past, Song Yingxing felt that many of their ideas were very novel and gave people a sense of breaking new ground. But as time went by, especially after going to the capital to work, Song Yingxing gradually Something doesn't feel right.

how to say.

Based on the contact with missionaries from various countries, not only Song Yingxing discovered that, but also some other people gradually discovered that their doctrines were more or less mixed with strong religious overtones, and there were some in many fields. The existence of forces, namely church forces.

This makes some doctrines less pure. Before they came into contact with Western missionaries, on the one hand they were curious about what the world was like outside the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand they wanted to divert their attention because of the unsatisfactory scientific research career, but now it is different. Song Yingxing and the others were not only reused, but also There are more novel opinions and concepts, which leads them to have a more or less critical attitude in their hearts when they come into contact with Western missionaries.

In particular, Zhu Youxiao once said that the truth is often in the hands of a few people. In the process of exploring the truth, one must know how to distinguish truth from falsehood, and how to refute and analyze. The truth must become clearer with more debate, and no one can If you come to define the truth, you will become a god. But is there really a god in this world?
Perhaps Zhu Youxiao did not expect how much impact and influence his words would have on Wang Zheng, Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang, and Song Yingxing.

This is the ideological gap!

"There are indeed too many truths that need to be tested in practice."

Song Yingxing calmed down and said with a serious expression: "In the many previous experiments, many theories passed down by the missionaries in Europe are simply unreasonable. Even when I was summarizing, I found that there are many theories in our Ming Dynasty. Yes, I even studied it more thoroughly, but because I didn't pay attention to it before, I was missed..."

This is the disadvantage of imprisoning thoughts.

Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly and clenched his hands with his hands hanging down. In fact, there are too many fields in which China has made great achievements and development. However, due to the influence of thought and war, these achievements have been lost. If these achievements had not disappeared, no one would be able to imagine the dazzling achievements China would have achieved.

"I have mentioned before that you should not be superstitious about what others say, you should have your own ideas and judgments. I will always stick to this sentence no matter what."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao said in a stern tone: "Especially for you, the Armed Forces and Clearance Department, you must always keep this sentence in mind. There are too many unknown areas in front of us that we need to explore and summarize. Whatever others say must be true."

Zhu Youxiao does not deny that some of the theories fostered on the continent of Europa are indeed further ahead than the Ming Dynasty. But to say that all of them are far superior to the Ming Dynasty is pure nonsense. A religious thought is so strong. In the region, there are many countries standing side by side, and the language and writing are not unified. If you want to completely get rid of the Ming Dynasty, what is this but nonsense?
"Education cannot be rushed, and scientific research cannot be rushed."

Zhu Youxiao reached out and patted Song Yingxing's shoulder, "What your Arms and Civil Service Department has to do is not only to develop the military industry system, but also to continue to explore unknown areas and clarify them into academic disciplines, just like the yellow gunpowder I proposed earlier. Research and development, if there can be a breakthrough in this field, it will not only change guns and artillery, but the impact and changes on other fields will also be huge."

What Zhu Youxiao knew was only superficial in the end. If you want to study out the essence, you need outstanding people like Song Yingxing to do it.

What Zhu Youxiao can do is to continue to smash gold and silver in his own way to support Song Yingxing and the others in their research and exploration, and at the same time allow them to avoid detours, so that these leaders who have been introduced to the new world can In their respective fields of expertise, they can all achieve corresponding achievements, and then promote the changes in Ming Dynasty...
