Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

The arrangement of the Japanese lecture is much simpler than that of the banquet. There is a throne and a lecture at the back of the Wenhua Hall. Several lecturers and attendants serve the banquet.

When Cui Xie started speaking directly, he inherited Yu Ze, the first emperor. Seriously, he can be regarded as half an official. However, he is a champion and editor. He belongs to the most rooted category of civil servants. No one Will accuse him of this. Now that he has been living in the country for five years, he will be well-qualified when he comes back. The emperor Hongzhi put him back to the Japanese lecture team, which is a matter of course.

However, he was too anxious to get straight to the point, and there was no time to prepare a sermon. After several lecturers discussed it, he led the emperor to read ten times and endorsed ten times, and the others proceeded according to schedule.

This arrangement saves everyone trouble.

Cui Xie knew that the emperor called him not to hear Mencius, but to hear Mendel’s hybrid theory, so he only read the sermons by Zhang Yuanzhen and others before entering the straight, turned out his own essay, and memorized the key data again. .

After the straight talk was over, Hongzhi asked the gentlemen to get tea and rice outside Wenhua Gate, leaving Cui Xie alone to ask.

Cui Xie has not returned to the court for five years, and his appearance has not changed much, but the emperor has a ruddy complexion due to proper diet and exercise, and is more imposing and majestic than the weak boy in the temple. He gave Cui Xie a seat, ordered people to deliver tea fruit, and then asked eagerly: "How did Mr. Cui know how to make soybeans and increase output?"

This... of course, because he hasn't forgotten all the creatures, at least he can remember some genetics, hybridization, Mendelian pea experiments and so on. However, the final decision to grow soybeans instead of peas is because soybeans are more useful. They can grind soy milk, order tofu, and squeeze oil. The soybean cakes left over from the oil can also be used as animal feed.

Of course, you can't tell the truth, you have to rely on the current mainstream Confucianism. Lu Jiuyuan said "The Six Classics will be annotated to me, I will annotate the Six Classics", he can also borrow them and use them.

Cui Xie arched his hands and said modestly: "The minister can know this, he reads from "The University"."

"Oh? Is there such a method in college?" The word hybridization was indecent, and the emperor passed in vaguely, recalling the university's two thousand words-even the collection of notes was added, and there was no specific place for farming?

The **** prince of Siyuan Bureau was also standing by, staring at Cui Xie with wide eyes.

Cui Xie did not hesitate to mention Wang Shengren: "Before the minister returned to his hometown and Ding Qian, he had seen Wang Shouren, who had not yet completed the test, was studying at the back of the Imperial Academy. When he read the passage of'Gewuzhizhi', It’s not like the ministers back then, the 囫囵 memorized the meaning of the saint’s attention is satisfied, but personally tried the way of gezhi, after seven days after the ya, he became seriously ill."

The emperor asked curiously: "What's wrong with the editor?"

Cui Xie replied neatly: "The sage speaks about things, and you need to be thorough in order to understand the truth. But things are big and small, and things are difficult and easy. Even if it is a rod of bamboo, there are differences in rhizomes, flowers and leaves. The day will be able to achieve thoroughness. However, after returning home, the minister has learned his mindfulness in studying things and started from an early age to understand the principles and principles hidden in soybeans."

The emperor Hongzhi casually boasted, "Wang Bianxiu is also a caring person", and then asked Cui Xie tightly: "I read your memorial book and Zadou's handwritten notes. Some things are still not clear, so come and tell me. "

The **** Wang of the Siyuan Bureau personally supported Li Xueshi's modified melodies for him, and the emperor Hongzhi asked a few questions about the traits and instability of soybeans.

Cui Xie still can't talk about genetic science, but he can talk about laws.

He himself drew the map of the beans he planted. At this time, he drew it again in front of the emperor. He talked about the difference between the first-generation hybrid seeds and the second-generation seeds, and made statistics on the traits of the second-generation seeds. Although I didn't talk about the deeper level, this is the most rigorous and detailed agricultural article that the emperor has ever seen.

After Cui Xie wrote down the pen, he still said with a bit of meaning: "The minister knows too little, so he can only write down what he sees and apply it slightly. If you want to build a deeper level of heaven, you have to wait for generations to come. the study."

The emperor Hongzhi was already very pleased and praised: "This flower is painted like a real flower in front of my eyes. It can be seen how carefully my husband was at this day. I can't think that Cui Aiqing is also good at painting flowers and birds. These delicate and realistic works, I am also in the palace. ..."

He suddenly remembered something, and after a pause, he said, "I have only seen two divine banquet and drinking pictures in the collection of the first emperor. I can feel like standing outside the paper. It is a pity that the painter has never entered the palace, and I don’t know the true picture. What is your identity."

Sorry, I painted those two paintings too.

Cui Xie lowered his head slightly and said modestly: "Your Majesty has talked about it. The minister is just a common subject, and the painting is more detailed. If the painting is true, it is mostly because the minister has a poor family and can afford crystal lenses. I can see it more clearly than others. It is also because I really see the method of pollination that I can think of using this method of pollination to breed better varieties."

It would be better if there was a microscope.

I don’t know if it was invented in this era.

It may be that the two lenses are placed in a tube, and the height is adjusted slowly when used... It is just that you can't make a microscope, at least you can make a telescope, look back and find someone to try.

He recalled the appearance of the microscope, and felt that it was a bit complicated, and there was too much glass in it. It was only trial-produced with crystals, and it was estimated that it was finished, and their family would go bankrupt.

The emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Mr. Teqian, how many people in the world can afford a crystal mirror, don't those people know the truth about things? After all, they couldn't make a statement, only the husband really got it."

The **** Wang of the Department of Education asked hurriedly: "There are blooming bean plants in the greenhouse. Can the emperor cut a few branches and use the eyepieces to see if it matches the drawing of Master Cui?"

The emperor nodded: "You go and prepare first, and I have a meal with Mr. Cui."

After five years away from Beijing, Cui Xie finally tasted the Yushan—low-oil, low-salt and low-fat version.

The taste is far inferior to the time when the feast was eaten.

However, he came up with the idea of ​​a healthy diet, and the emperor can stick to it. He, the initiator, can't be faulty. He still eats a meal seriously. The emperor Hongzhi didn't eat much. It wasn't that he had a little appetite, but he had something in his heart and didn't want to waste time on eating.

When the soybean flowers were brought, the **** Wang personally took the tweezers to peel the petals, and asked Tianzi to observe the stamens, anthers, and even cut the pistils to see the ovules inside the ovary.

The emperor was busy with government affairs. In the past, he was only looking at the records sent by the palace man to see the beans that were particularly full. This is the first time that the flowers of soybeans are carefully observed. I usually looked at the small inconspicuous flower, and after looking closely with a magnifying glass, there was a wonderful change, as if the flower had become a lot more mysterious.

He couldn't help whispering: "Gewu, Gewu...I haven't even seen such an ordinary thing clearly, how can I be called ‘gede’?"

Investigating things, knowing, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, family harmony, governance, peace of the world...

If you didn't even do the first step, how can you really do the rest?

Under the impact, the emperor's thoughts became more and more biased. He couldn't help but ask: "How can we make Da Ming officials truly understand these things, and tomorrow will be rational and conscience, so that we can rule a peaceful world? "

Cui Xie originally thought that after reading the principle of soybean pollination, the emperor had to ask him how to make hybrid wheat and rice, but he was worried. Unexpectedly, the emperor's thinking height was different from that of ordinary people, and he immediately switched from agricultural technology to ruling the country and the world.

He thought for a moment, and couldn’t help but entrained private goods: "In my humble opinion, if you want to study physics, there are two ways: one is to analyze a thing to the smallest detail and understand its essence. For example, this flower, we will It is divided into calyx, stamen, petals, etc. If you look closely at the use of each, you can understand the principle of pollination and fruiting of this flower, and you can infer from this flower that other flowers are also pollinating and bearing fruit."

The **** Wang smiled and said, "The slave servant is trying..."

Hongji yelled, "How can you **** words in front of Mr.", and gently said to Cui Xie, "Mr. Choi just talk."

Cui Xie is also not welcome, and seize the time to squeeze private goods: "The other is to broaden your knowledge. Stones from other mountains can be used for jade."

"Our top talents in the Ming Dynasty are all in the court, and they have exhausted their minds and exhausted their abilities for your majesty; and there are many countries outside the Song Dynasty, and there are also talented people in those countries, and books and articles are circulating. Whether the theory is crude or not, it must be something that I have never had in my country. If the talented scholars in our country can learn it, take the essence, and remove the dross, it will be able to better meet the lack of knowledge."

The emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded: "How can there be any barbarians who want to go outside the world..."

The emperor is not very firm, Cui Xie stiffened, and bluntly remonstrated: "Since it is the law of heaven, it is the truth that is not easy in the world. People are born according to the way of the world, and what they learn from the world is the same."

"Your Majesty often sees the envoys of the hajj from his own country. It can be seen that they can also understand my Ming writings and read my Han Dynasty classics, and they are not the people who are ignorant and illiterate. In addition to these small countries, there are many countries far away overseas, and there are also A talented scholar who knows how to deal with things. If he can find his books, he will reach the talents of other countries and use his skills to control the foreigners..."

Wrong, wrong, this sentence hasn't been in Ming Dynasty yet.

He shook his head and was about to change his statement, but saw that the emperor Hongzhi had bowed his head to think.

Hongzhi, like Chenghua, were both good-tempered and tolerant monarchs. The only difference was that Xianzong would not listen to him after he was accepted. Hongzhi was more likely to be persuaded by courtiers.

He said with some embarrassment: "The prohibition of the sea cannot be opened lightly. Moreover, in the past, the treasure fleet of the Sanbao eunuchs went to sea, which was very costly and costly. Not to mention the cabinet, Liu Fuxian and Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of War would not agree to the first..."

Liu Daxia still has rumors of Zheng He's materials in history. But when he was in the court, he didn't listen to anyone discussing this matter. He just talked about going to sea, even Mr. Li had concerns. This was also the case that the fleet that sailed to the west burned too much money and almost emptied the treasury, frightening the princes in the DPRK and China.

However, he is still young, and he can survive the veterans, and there is always one day to realize his ambition.

Cui Xie smiled slightly, and said warmly: "It's a minister who has no status. Seeing that your majesty is tolerant, I don't know it. But Mencius once said that Shun was born in Dongyi, King Wen was born in Xiqiang, and sages were born in There is no need to have a permanent place, let alone a talent who can read and understand? If your Majesty is willing to call for talents, ask for books, order people to find overseas good breeds, and give generous rewards, the treasure ship does not have to go to sea, and talents from all over the world will eagerly come and run. "

He doesn’t know whether the talent will come, but if there is an emperor’s imperial decree and a good seed, the maritime merchants and pirates may be able to contact European pirates, get some books on mathematics, physics and chemistry, and then produce products from America and Africa. Shipped here with potatoes, corn, etc.

Daming sees that some yam and taro have extremely high yields, but they are not as resistant to drought and cold as sweet potatoes and potatoes, and coarse grains such as qi and liang are not as high-yielding and delicious as corn.

As for books on scientific research... Manguo Zijian are all students, so he usually takes arithmetic classes, plus some foreign mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology... I should be able to learn it too.

Anyway, the Imperial College is a five-year system.

The emperor couldn't make up his mind for a while, and didn't have the thoughts of studying genetics, so he asked people to bring Cui Xie back, and the matter would be discussed later.

Cui Xie thanked him for retiring, and before he moved, the emperor ordered someone to take silk and satin. Official robes, silver ingots, and Daming treasure were given to him to reward him for the farming skills he had previously offered.

Several little eunuchs were holding things for him. Siyuan Supervisor and Wang Eunuch led the way. Cui Xie walked slowly behind, wearing a turquoise heron colorful embroidered suit. His appearance was handsome and his expression was calm. He walked with a straight back and even steps. There is a special harmony in every gesture.

When he walked by the front of the temple, a little boy wearing a gua La hat and a red woven gold dragon robe was standing behind the window of the East Partial Hall of the Wenhua Temple. He watched intently as the team walked by in front of him, and whispered to his side. The eunuch: "Who is that? Why is it so... so beautiful?"

He has seen all the gentlemen who go in and out of the palace. The best thing to look at is Mr. Fei, his patron, and the others are officials with a big beard. This is actually more airy than Mr. Fei.

As for the two nephews who betrayed them, he didn't want to mention the state uncles who gave him papers all day long.

The waiter who was serving next to him recognized him, and replied respectfully: "That was Cui Xie, the Hanlin servant of the Twenty-Three Years Examination and Hall Examination of Chenghua."

Liangkui is the world...that is the champion!

He is so good-looking, he is still the champion!

Why didn't such a person become his husband, and asked such a serious Mr. Wang Hua to become Youchunfang Youyude!

The little prince was feeling regretful, and suddenly a faint voice, but with a trustworthy power, sounded behind everyone: "That Cui Shi told me that he just returned from his hometown of filial piety. He was the two uncles before he left Beijing. My teacher, the kind of papers from Uncle Ping Sunrise, was the first one produced by Cui Shijiang."

...

what! Is he such a person?

The little prince's full yearning turned into hatred, staring at the man through the window, and Cui Xie couldn't help turning his head back if there was any real gaze. He squinted his eyes to filter the direct sunlight at noon, and looked there, only to see an ordinary figure standing behind the window lattice of the side hall.

Can't see the face clearly, but can feel the back of the other party shrinking, should be a waiter.
