"Second-Fu-sama asked people to call in the accountants of a few outside firms and asked them about it. Then... Lastly, Se-Fu-sama just asked the people below to go to the market to buy a few basic arithmetic books, and let the officials of the Ministry of Household read them through..."

In the Qianqing Palace, a general of the imperial camp, Liu Qiyuan's words and deeds, all reported respectfully.

"Okay, I get it."

The emperor put down the notebook in his hand, frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.

The limitations of the times, that's it!

The traditional Confucian thought focuses on self-cultivation to govern the country and bring peace to the world.

A scholar's goal is to be an official, even if he is not an official, it is also to establish a school and become a generation of great Confucianism.

Counting the grand avenues of the future era, in this era, is just a trail that is dismissed by scholars!

This is rooted in the mind.

Even if it is him, it is impossible to reverse it all at once, and it will take an extremely long time to subtly implement it into the hearts of the people.

However, since ancient times, the best way for rulers to promote something is to create demand.

If the whole world has no need for arithmetic, no matter how much he promotes it, he will not be able to escape the end of loneliness in the end.

As long as the demand is created, such as his layout of the bank business, and even the co-ordination of the people's livelihood economy after the imperial power goes to the countryside in the future, then the huge demand for arithmetic, naturally, will inevitably breed the demand for arithmetic.

Just like from the very beginning, he invested in the military factories that were maintained with money, manpower and material resources in the sea and the borders. The slowly evolving firearms gave birth to a huge demand for arithmetic, and under the needs of war, the military of martial arts would eventually be able to Arithmetic is becoming more and more important.

And mathematics is the foundation!

What he has to do now is to maintain and protect the seedlings of arithmetic, expand as much as possible, and even discover the things that require arithmetic, so as to gradually make arithmetic valued by the ruling class, and finally, enter the house.

A traditional official such as Liu Qiyuan, no matter how traditional, can only slowly accept this change in thinking under the slow development of the times.

To do this, first of all, the Kong family must be taken care of, otherwise, if the so-called sages of this family are instigated by someone with a heart, they will come out to disrupt the situation.

With the Confucian family's deep-rooted roots and implementation of the people's hearts, he will try his best, and it will be destroyed in the end if it doesn't work!

Of course, even without this reason, he would not allow the interpretation and dominance of ideology and ideology to be in the hands of a so-called stubborn line of sages that has lasted for several dynasties and generations.

"Pass my will and let Xu Guangqi, the director of the Wuyuan Academy, enter the palace for an audience."

After thinking for a moment, the emperor slowly said this sentence.

Wang Wu, who was waiting on the side, hurried forward and bowed to the emperor. After picking up the emperor's will, he bowed again and bowed back.

The emperor pondered for a moment, his eyes wandered, and finally the letter that was fixed on the table had already been drawn up, only the order to put on the seal of the emperor.

The director of Tiaowu Academy, Xu Guangqi, was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Looking at it for a moment, the emperor's brows became more and more tightly locked. It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Guangqi is a person who perfectly meets all his expectations and longings for literati in the new era.

First, attach importance to mathematics, and even practice it, translate geometric texts, and write mathematical works such as "Pythagorean Righteousness" and "Measuring Similarities and Differences".

Second, he knew the huge role of mathematics. For example, when he first ascended the throne, he made a memorial to revise the timing calendar left by the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, in the scribbling, the important role of mathematics in astronomical calendar, water conservancy engineering, rhythm, firearms and military defense, various construction projects, geodetic surveying, manufacture of clocks and leaks, etc. is also discussed in detail, and even He also took the risk of the world and asked him, the emperor, to promote those wisdom crystals in the martial arts academy to the whole world.

Third, he is quite familiar with the military, and attaches great importance to the manufacture and development of firearms. Even the emperor, who was a beginner in the art of war, wrote most of the military books on firearms that he studied.

Fourth, he attaches great importance to agronomy, and is even proficient in agronomy, and even wrote many agronomy works such as "Agricultural Administration Complete Book", "Sweet Potato Sparse", "Agricultural Legacy Miscellaneous Sparse", "Taixi Water Method" and so on.

In the martial arts institute, such as sweet potatoes and corn, the cultivation of such high-yielding crops has always been the responsibility of this person.

He is also the top lecturer in the mathematics subject of the Wuyuan Academy, and he is also in charge of the firearms research of the Wuyuan Academy.

Such a person, normally speaking, the Son of Heaven is naturally regarded as a treasure in the palm of his hand, cultivated with his heart, even if he violates, he will definitely turn a blind eye and maintain the great tolerance.

But... I don't know if he came through and opened the martial arts institute, so that Western learning could exist in the martial arts institute, and missionaries could also exist in the martial arts institute, so that Xu Guangqi could get in touch with more missionaries.

In history, Xu Guangqi, who only believed in Western religion, was like a mad believer in this era. From the very beginning, before he explicitly banned it, he used his authority to win over students in the martial arts institute and promote Western religion.

Later, with the development of the martial arts institute, Zhang Mo's advice at the time when the martial arts institute sacrificed wine, he also explicitly prohibited any missionary behavior, and at the same time prohibited the spread of Western religions.

But Xu Guangqi still had many offenses, and Zhang Mo, who used to sacrifice wine in the martial arts academy, was also punished a lot. Back then, as Duke Qin, he also interviewed him many times and persuaded him, but little changed.

Even if he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and reprimanded him many times, he would still be offended!

If it weren't for the fact that he had great expectations and respect for this talent~www.wuxiaspot.com~Xu Guangqi's ten clans, the emperor would have killed him directly!

It is precisely because of this that even if he knew that this person would be transferred to the court, it would be of great help to his plan, and the emperor had always hesitated.

He, the emperor, can accept many of the shortcomings of his subjects, even if he is greedy and bends the law, as long as it is within the limits, it will not affect too much.

But this crazy Western believer who knows what's going on...

A high-ranking official who can influence the world with his words and deeds, but he attaches great importance to science, maintains an extremely open-minded attitude towards new things, and with his support, it is conceivable that he will The world, how much change, how much help will that wishful thinking of him.

But if this high-ranking official, whose words and deeds can influence the world, is a mad believer of Western religion, then this scene, just thinking about it, the emperor will feel his scalp tingling.

"Xu... Guangqi, what's wrong with the martial arts institute recently?"

The emperor suddenly asked.

In the hall, Ning Feng, the commander of the imperial battalion standing in armor, also stepped out and bowed to the emperor: "Return to Your Majesty, the Secretary of the Military Academy, as before, rushing around in the Military Academy and the Ordnance Factory."

"Since Your Majesty's decree, he has restrained himself for a period of time, but according to the report of the military academy scout, in the past few days, when he is lecturing, he will explain the teachings of Western religion from time to time, but it is only a shallow taste, and he does not say anything. too much…"

"okay!"

The emperor waved his hand, his face was already gloomy.

Repeated teaching!

He wanted to see how loyal this Xu Guangqi was to his Lord!
