Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 184
We must know that Chongzhen not only recovered Xu Guangqi, but also ordered Yuan Keli to recover.It's just that Yuan Keli had already arrived at Hongshanling at that time, and his family didn't know where he went. The emperor's order was not accepted, so the matter would be left alone. If Yuan Keli's identity was leaked out, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and the whole family would be punished. Then suffer.

But now that Yuan Keli revealed his identity to Fang Yuan and Yang Liufeng, would there be any risk?
Immediately, Li Jing shook his head. Now that we are all standing in the same boat, as long as these two people are not stupid, they will never reveal Yuan Keli's identity.

At this moment, Yuan Keli pointed at Li Jing with a smile, and then glanced at Fang Fang and Yang Liufeng.

Only then did Fang Fang and Yang Liufeng realize that Li Jing hadn't finished speaking, and what he did just now was very disrespectful to Li Jing.

The two hurriedly turned around and said to Li Jingyi: "Marshal, Wansheng is rude."

Li Jing waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, the two of you are excited when you see Mr. Jie Huan, so I won't be offended."

"Thank you, Commander." Fang Fang and Yang Liufeng cupped their hands.

Li Jing smiled. Scholars have a lot of etiquette, and he is no stranger to it now.

Li Jing stretched out his hand to signal the two to sit down, and then said: "Mr. Fang, since you know Mr. Song Yingxing, you want to know how to mine. There are four copper mines on our site. I hope you can take some time to teach the miners how to improve mine mining." s efficiency."

"This..." Fang Fang hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, the first thing the students will do is to do their best. If the master knows that the students are engaged in the Academy of Sciences, he will be very pleased. The second thing is that the students do not have this ability. I can only give it a try, but I think it’s best to find a professional to do the second thing, it would be great if Brother Chang Geng was here, he is more proficient in this.”

Li Jing nodded.

The brother Chang Geng mentioned by Fang is Song Yingxing.

Of course Li Jing hoped that someone like Song Yingxing would come to help, but he had no idea where Song Yingxing was now, and who knew if Song Yingxing would come?

After thinking about it, Li Jing asked, "Mr. Fang, do you know where Mr. Song is? Can you find him?"

Fang Fang shook his head and said: "After failing the exam this spring, I talked with Brother Chang Geng for a long time. He said that he would not take the exam again in the future and was going to concentrate on studying practical studies. To study practical studies, you must go around. I don't know where to go at this time. "

Li Jing nodded slightly.

Considering that Song Yingxing is at the beginning stage of science at this time, if Song Yingxing is recruited now, then the later miracle work "Heavenly Creation of Things" is afraid that it will die halfway, such a stupid thing can't be done.

After thinking about it, Li Jing smiled and said, "Since Mr. Song can't be found, Mr. Fang should work hard."

Equation nodded.

Li Jing continued: "The third thing is, I want to build a military factory in Jiangzhou to produce guns and ammunition. You have learned mechanics from Mr. Xu, and you will help make equipment."

Fang Fang couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard this, there are so many things, how many petals is enough for him to score.But at the same time, Fang Fang was full of gratitude to Li Jing in his heart, reuse, this is reuse.

Each of the three things Li Jing explained is related to the future of the Ming Dynasty, especially the first one. If the Academy of Sciences is built and run, it will definitely be of great merit.

After thinking about the equation for a while, he nodded heavily.

Li Jing turned his head and said to Yang Liufeng: "Careful, starting from today, your task is to cooperate with Wujie to do these three things. The Academy of Sciences is not busy building, first build a new school, and each county must build at least one school , the scale should not be too small. Manpower, material resources, financial resources, whatever you need, just ask Mr. Shen.”

Yang Liufeng nodded hurriedly.

Li Jing continued: "I will give you a framework for the knowledge taught in the school."

After hearing this, Fang Fang hurriedly found pens, ink and paper, Li Jing got up and gave up his seat to Fang Fang, and Yang Liufeng took the inkstone and began to grind ink.

When the two of them were ready, Li Jing pondered for a while and said: "First of all, mathematics, you can use Mr. Xu's "Elements of Geometry" as a textbook, and some ancient books, you can use them.

The second is farmland water conservancy, which must be learned when it comes to people's livelihood. For the time being, you can find some people who have common knowledge in this area to teach. For example, in farming, you can find those experienced farmers.And there are quite a few classics on this aspect, try to find them.

The third is mechanical manufacturing. It is best to talk to your missionary friends about this problem, and ask them to help out. When Double Happiness and the others come over, it is also possible to ask him to teach the students.

The fourth is accounting and financial management. Please ask Mr. Shen for help.

The fifth is medicine, which can be taught by a doctor, and there is no shortage of medical classics.

Of course, classics and history books also need to be taught. You two are experts in this, so I won’t talk about it.What other subjects need to be offered is up to Wujie to decide. "

Equation recorded while listening.

The equation is very clear. The five items listed by Li Jing need to be established first. As for the other items mentioned by Xu Guangqi, they can be put aside for the time being. The main reason is that there is no one to teach them, and there are no classics for reference.

After Li Jing finished speaking, he thought for a while, took the pen from the hand of the equation, wrote down ten Arabic numerals on the paper, and wrote the corresponding Chinese characters on top of each number, and then said: "There is no solution, these numbers I think you have seen it? Use these numbers when teaching mathematics! Well... there is a process in calculation, so use these symbols."

While speaking, write down some symbols such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc. on the paper, and then mark the meaning under each symbol.

"What's the use of these numbers, numbers and these symbols?" Yang Liufeng wondered.

Li Jing smiled and said: "Let me give you an example. It's better to say that we transferred a batch of silver from outside yesterday."

Li Jing wrote down the data in Chinese characters casually, and then marked it with Arabic numerals below.

Then he continued: "Today we will come in another batch."

As he spoke, Li Jing wrote down another set of numbers.

Then Li Jing smiled and said, "Then how much money did we put in in two days?"

Yang Liufeng hurriedly said: "Marshal, wait a minute, I'll go get the abacus."

Li Jingjing nodded. The number he randomly arranged was relatively large just now. Yang Liufeng is not a professional, so he can only rely on the abacus to calculate.

After a while, Yang Liufeng fetched the abacus, and then started counting one up, one gets two, three down, five down, two down, and the result came out after a while.

Then Li Jing continued: "Yesterday we spent 230 five taels of silver, and today we spent another 560 seven taels of silver. Calculate how much you have now? Then write down the calculation process."

"Ah? How do you write this?" Yang Liufeng asked in surprise.

Li Jing smiled and wrote down the four sets of numbers just mentioned in Arabic numerals, then connected them with symbols, added the result calculated by Yang Liufeng just now, and said to Yang Liufeng: "Look."

At this time, the attention of Yuan Keli and Fang Fang was also attracted by the numbers on Li Jingzhi, and they all turned their heads to watch.

"It's that simple?" the three asked in surprise.

Li Jingjing nodded, and then gave two examples of multiplication and division, such as paying salaries to a group of civilian husbands, how much is each person, how many people are there in total, how much money is needed in total, or how much money is there now, and how much is the salary of each civilian husband , How many civilians can be hired and so on.

Li Jing wrote while talking, and calculated the results at the same time.

Seeing that Li Jing expressed the numbers that were very troublesome when writing in Chinese characters so simply, the three of them suddenly realized something. Using this method would be very convenient for future accounting.

And the equation thinks more. If you use this method to express, then the troublesome things in mathematics will become easier. If you tell Xu Guangqi this method, Xu Guangqi will be very excited, and then persuade him. Resigning from office to become a scholar will surely come naturally.

"I'll write to the teacher right away!" Fang Fang said suddenly.

"I'll start building a school right away!" Yang Liufeng said.

After talking, the two turned around and left. After walking a few steps, they suddenly remembered that Jiang County was not here. The two couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled wryly.

Li Jing smiled, and after the two sat down, he continued: "Running a school is not a trivial matter, don't expect it to be done overnight. Ten years, if you can cultivate a group of talents within ten years, then I will be very satisfied. "

Fang Fang and Yang Liufeng nodded, knowing that what Li Jing said was true.

Because in this era, except for the Four Books and Five Classics, everything else is called heresy.The purpose of everyone's reading is to become an official, and if you want to be an official, you have to take the imperial examination. These things are all useless. People who learn these things depend on their hobbies. Basically, one in 1 scholars can find such hobbies. It's not bad.

To change this phenomenon, we must break the system that only scholars can be officials.

But this kind of system does not mean that it can be broken if it is broken. Even the emperor probably does not have such ability.

But Fang Fang and Yang Liufeng didn't know that Li Jing came to this era to break these systems. He didn't do it before because the territory was too small and his strength was too weak. Now Li Jing has made up his mind to do it.

Seeing Fang Fang and Yang Liufeng shaking their heads, Li Jing knew that they were really thinking about it.

"Careful, please draw up a new decree for me. From the end of the year, all departments must be in charge of professionals. Let me give you an example. For example, those in charge of water conservancy must understand water conservancy. Those in charge of criminal and prison proceedings You must understand the law, those in charge of the grain fields must know how to farm, and so on, tell me one by one, you tell them, if you don’t know how to go to school, I will take an assessment in half a year, if the grades fail, I will immediately pack up and leave Do you understand what I mean?" Li Jing said.

After thinking for a while, Li Jing continued: "We lack a large number of competent officials now, and we must consider the interests of those scholars when recruiting talents. After all, we can't let them read the books these years for nothing, and scholars can learn other things faster. Therefore, when recruiting personnel, scholars should still be given priority, but it must be specified in the decree that the officials we appoint in the future will no longer be based on the Four Books and Five Classics, but those who have various professional knowledge. Don’t let them feel that the officials are small, raise their salaries to me, even if I spend money, I have to smash people’s inherent concepts!"

"Yes!" Yang Liufeng cupped his hands and said.

As they spoke, they exchanged glances with Fang Fang, both of them knew that under Li Jing's rule, those scholars who only knew how to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics would have come to an end.
