Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 211 The invincible Master Cao, he fell

the next day,

It was the ceremony for the envoys to welcome the queen into the palace. The envoys were ordered to welcome the queen. This was the last series of closing ceremonies after Zhu Xiongying sent someone to bring Xu Miaojin into the palace. From then on, Xu Miaojin officially entered the harem and became the common mother of the world.

Cao Wei also found Xu Miaojin's change of destiny very miraculous.

Because in the original historical trajectory, Xu Miaojin, who had read poetry and books since childhood, finally chose to become a monk and accompany Qingdeng when he grew up.

But this change is also very reasonable. Zhu Xiongying is good enough and has changed his fate. Zhu Xiongying has become the shining star in the royal family, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match.

Cao Wei did not attend the ceremony of welcoming the envoy, because after the registration ceremony, the rest of the things basically had nothing to do with Cao Wei.

Cao Wei has a special license and doesn't have to go to court. With this free time, he might as well think more about how to better teach the rough guys in the manufacturing bureau.

To be honest, Cao Wei feels that teaching to the more than 30 craftsmen in the manufacturing bureau is the biggest challenge ever.

When I first developed the steam engine, I never felt like I had nowhere to start.

However, in order to completely open up the Ming Industrial Age, Cao Wei felt that it was worth it even if he was a little tired.

Just imagine that one day in the future, with the efforts of all the craftsmen in the manufacturing bureau, they will refine gasoline, develop an internal combustion engine, and build the world's first aircraft to carry people into space. What an exciting scene it will be!

Since he was very drunk in the Xu Mansion the day before, Cao Wei took another day off today to recuperate his energy before he had the strength to face the group of "students" from the Manufacturing Bureau.

It was a rare day to relax and do nothing, but Cao Wei felt a little uncomfortable. He sat in the lobby of the mansion and drank tea in trance, one cup after another.

Zhu Hanming came over with Cao Lin in his arms. The little guy recognized his father and opened his hands for a hug.

"Seeing dad makes mom feel bad," Zhu Hanming joked and handed Cao Lin to Cao Wei.

Cao Wei smiled, teasing little Cao Lin, and said,

"We, Lin'er, are afraid that our mother will be tired and want her to have a rest, right?"

Little Cao Lin didn't know whether she understood or not, and she babbling indistinct syllables.

Xu Miaojin entered the palace today, and according to etiquette, Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Han also had to go and have a look, so the Cao Mansion today was a bit quieter than usual.

Zhu Hanming sat aside, watching Cao Wei holding Cao Lin high, feeling a little distressed for a moment.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang once gave Cao Wei a special permission not to go to the pilgrimage every day, Cao Wei never had a free day. Either there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, or Cao Wei had to develop something himself.

Even at home, Cao Wei always works alone in the house, with no one available to help him.

It would be nice if Cao Wei was not so busy, so that they could live a leisurely life every day, and Cao Wei would have more time with them.

"Look at how tired you are when you are busy every day. Your Majesty doesn't know how to sympathize with you. You should have given me a rest long ago, so that Lin'er wouldn't be unable to find you every time." Zhu Hanming said this a little bit angrily. .

It's not that she couldn't distinguish the importance, and she didn't know that everything Cao Wei did was for the Ming Dynasty, but Cao Wei was her husband, how could she not feel distressed?

He didn't go to court every day, but he was as busy as the emperor. That is to say, Zhu Hanming had a general understanding of the matter, so he said this in a neutral tone.

After hearing this, Cao Wei knew that she felt sorry for him. She was not angry at all and felt sweet in her heart.

What is the purpose of marrying a wife? Isn't it just that knowing the truth will make you love someone?

It's a pity that Cao Wei is not blessed with a hard life, and he doesn't know when he will be able to retire.

"What Madam said is that I will talk to His Majesty another day and implement the five-day and two-day-off system so that I can stay at home with you."

Cao Wei opened his mouth and said something nice to coax Zhu Hanming. The latter rolled his eyes at him and couldn't help but laugh.

"How's your teaching going?"

Cao Wei shook his head and said, "It's okay."

But after hearing this, at this moment, Cao Wei began to feel worried about tomorrow's teaching.

The reason why Cao Wei's teaching was so difficult was because the knowledge that the craftsmen of the Manufacturing Bureau had learned before was completely incompatible with the knowledge that Cao Wei was teaching now.

They have read some books and know some words, but they know nothing about mathematics, physics and chemistry like those students who have just entered private schools and started studying.

Even with the more mature thinking of adults, it still feels obscure and difficult to understand. On the other hand, compared to those schoolchildren, the craftsmen are much older, and their memory is not as good as it is. They need to be consolidated and deepened over and over again.

This also made Cao Wei truly realize the importance of education starting from childhood.

How about setting up some private schools later to give lessons to school-age children?

Only by universalizing this knowledge will Ming Dynasty usher in a wave of talents. Cao Wei alone can do too little.

The basic characteristics of mathematics are a high degree of abstraction and strict logic, as well as the breadth of application and the accuracy of description.

Only by truly popularizing mathematics can we truly open the door to science and technology!

The first technological revolution was the revolution of steam engines and machinery, and the second technological revolution was the revolution of electricity and transportation.

Although it is difficult to say which of the inventions came directly from mathematics, the development of fluid mechanics, elasticity, heat, electromagnetism and other objects in the 19th and 20th centuries was closely related to the development of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, and calculus of variations by mathematicians. It is closely related to function theory, etc. Cao Wei understood these things back then and knew them very clearly.

The day's leisure time passed quickly.

After having breakfast the next day, Cao Wei went to the manufacturing bureau with the teaching materials he had compiled in advance.

The thirty-nine craftsmen were already waiting, and Cao Wei quickly got into the mood and started teaching.

These craftsmen also study very hard. From the feedback they give every day, we know that they must also study a lot in private.

Especially as leaders, Song Ping and Zhao Heng, they make the fastest progress no matter what they learn.

Day by day passed, and finally at the end of August, Cao Wei finished teaching all the basic mathematical theoretical knowledge.

Although these basic mathematical theories cannot allow craftsmen to conduct advanced mathematical research, they are more than enough to deal with the calculations of various matters within the manufacturing bureau at this time. At least they now know the area and volume of some complex figures and objects. Go for precision, which helps a lot with manufacturing technology.

The reason why mathematics should be taught first is also because of the dominant position of mathematics. Almost nothing can be done without calculation. For the development of science and technology, mathematics can be regarded as the core.

To paraphrase a famous saying, "A science is truly developed only when it reaches the point where it can successfully apply mathematics."

This is indeed the case. In any scientific and technological revolution, mathematics plays a leading and supporting role.

In the previous life, the Soviet Union successfully launched the first artificial earth satellite in 1958, which shocked the world. This was because the Soviet Union made breakthroughs in the field of mathematics in the 20th century.

The next step is to teach physics, because Cao Wei feels that the current manufacturing bureau does not resolve many chemical reactions, but rather physical knowledge, which is also the foundation of manufacturing. The significance of physics is to study the basic laws of material movement and is also the basis for the establishment of scientific world views and methods.

To say that Newton became the godfather of physics after he was hit on the head by an apple is because the British knowledge theory at that time was relatively rich, and he could explore according to the diagram.

If Cao Wei popularizes basic physics knowledge in Ming Dynasty at this time, maybe the godfather of physics in this world will appear in Ming Dynasty.

Now, Cao Wei wants to sow the seeds of physics on the land of Ming Dynasty, hoping that one day it will bear fruit.

There is also a lot of basic knowledge in physics, such as Hooke's law, Newton's law, universal gravitation, Brownian motion, Joule's law, Kelvin's thermodynamics, and Coulomb's law.

In addition, now that the Ming Dynasty has electricity under the leadership of Cao Wei, Ohm's law, current, and resistance also need to be popularized and studied, so that they can be directly implemented.

As for protons, molecules, optics, Roentgen rays, and some advanced physical knowledge, Cao Wei felt that he didn't know much about it, so it was better not to let others down.

The course at the Manufacturing Bureau lasted for a long time, but teaching was not Cao Wei's strong point after all, and he needed to devote more energy to it every day.

Over time, Cao Wei collapsed from exhaustion for the first time in the spring of the sixth year of Yongwu.

Cao Wei's fall immediately affected countless people.

Zhu Hanming directly handed Xiao Cao Lin to Xiao Yu to take care of, and he stayed by the bedside to serve Cao Wei all day long.

When Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yuanzhang and others learned that Cao Wei had collapsed from exhaustion, they also came to visit as soon as possible.

Zhu Xiongying came to Cao Mansion with his queen Xu Miaojin, Cao Wei's father-in-law Lao Zhu, and mother-in-law Han Fei. They sat down by Cao Wei's bed, their faces full of worry.

"Master, how do you feel?" Zhu Xiongying was probably so nervous for the first time in so many years.

Cao Wei was lying on the bed, his face a little less pale than before.

He waved his hand towards Zhu Xiongying,

"It's okay, it's just that I didn't have enough time to rest for a long time and I'm a little tired. It's not a big problem."

After finishing speaking, Cao Wei joked again, "I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry that I can't stand up to salute."

That’s what you say, but how can you not harm your body if you are exhausted mentally and physically all day long?

At that time, Muchun, the Marquis of Xiping in Yunnan, died of mental and physical exhaustion due to his daily busy schedule. If Cao Wei hadn't gone to Yunnan in advance and cleared up all the chaos, it would be impossible to say that the grass on Muchun's grave would be two meters high now.

Cao Wei always thought that he was in good health, tasted delicious when he ate, and was strong, but he still underestimated the power of hard work.

Although Cao Wei was not frightened when he collapsed from exhaustion this time, he was a little more wary and must pay more attention in the future.

I am already older than Zhu Hanming. If I continue to ruin my body like this, won't my life be even shorter? Cao Wei doesn't want this. It seems that the discretion will be reduced in future courses.

"The Grand Master should not say that. The Grand Master is a hero of the Ming Dynasty and a benefactor of the people of the world. Even if there is a slight mistake, it will not be possible," Zhu Xiongying said.

Xu Miaojin also spoke from the side, "Everyone in the world knows that Master Cao is grateful for his kindness. Master Cao, you are not just a person. You must take care of yourself."

Cao Wei could only smile and nod in response.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting aside. After all, he had been here before. He could see that Cao Wei's problem was not big, he just needed to cultivate himself for a few days.

But he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Cao Wei could do this for the sake of Ming Dynasty, and forced himself to collapse.

The more Cao Wei behaves like this, the more Zhu Yuanzhang treats him as his own son, and the more Zhu Xiongying respects him as an elder.

In their view, the silkworm's threads will not run out until it dies, which is like a true portrayal of Cao Wei. How can such a man who is dedicated to his family and country not worry them?

"You must pay attention to your health in the future," Zhu Yuanzhang only warned this sentence, but it contained no lot of concern.

Concubine Han frowned, feeling extremely distressed when she saw her son-in-law looking like this.

To others, a son-in-law is half a son, but to Concubine Han, when Cao Wei and Zhu Hanming get married, he is truly her son.

At this time, Zhu Hanming came in with a bowl of chicken soup. Cao Wei straightened up and wanted to do it himself, but Zhu Hanming refused and fed him spoonful after spoonful.

A group of people saw him being fed like this. Cao Wei felt a little embarrassed and started talking.

"Your Majesty, can you summon some teachers or Jinshi scholars in the future? I will train a group of professional teachers."

"Professional teacher?" Zhu Xiongying asked, "different from ordinary teachers?"

"Of course they are different," Cao Wei said with a smile, and then explained the difference between the two, and briefly talked about what he had done in the manufacturing bureau during this period and its results.

The so-called professional teachers are those who have learned the mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge compiled by Cao Wei, integrated it, and then taught it to a large number of students.

Teaching people in manufacturing bureaus is teaching, and teaching more Jinshi scholars is also teaching. Simply teach more people and train a group of professional teachers with modern knowledge. In the future, Cao Wei will no longer have to bother, and it can be done once and for all.

After Zhu Xiongying listened, he nodded with deep understanding. He knew very well how important Cao Wei's scientific knowledge was.

"Okay, I will start taking care of this matter when I get back. When the grand master recovers his health, I will definitely find everyone."

"Excuse me, Your Majesty."

"Who dares to say anything in front of the Grand Master?"

After Zhu Xiongying and others finished their visit, they left and let Cao Wei have a good rest.

Cao Wei slept for a while and woke up again. Zhu Hanming told him that Song Ping and Zhao Heng from the Manufacturing Bureau were here and had been waiting in the lobby outside.

"How long have you been waiting? Let them come here quickly. It's not a serious illness for me, and I won't be able to see people easily."

A moment later, Song Ping and Zhao Heng entered the house. After seeing Cao Wei, they suddenly fell to their knees with a thud.

"A low-ranking official is incompetent. He made the grand master work so hard that he fell ill. He deserves death!"

Cao Wei's head seemed to explode. He slapped his head and deserved death. Do you think I am the emperor?

"What are you doing? Don't let this happen. I'm not dead yet!"
