Chapter 613 Inevitable!

The next day.

Nanhaizi Hunting Ground, several days of hunting is over,

The emperor led all the martial arts, and the mighty team, which stretched for several miles, also embarked on the way back to the capital.

Nanhaizi is not far from the capital, but the road is tens of miles away. It used to be the royal garden of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, so the road is naturally very smooth.

Since the production of cement, the inner court has built a cement road from the capital to Nanhaizi.

It is a royal road, and the standard system is naturally much wider than ordinary official roads. The emperor's carriage is like a moving palace, and it is extremely stable when driving on this cement road.

Inside the frame, it is arranged like a palace.

At the rear of the car is the emperor's dragon chair and a table with dragon patterns. On the right side of the car is a dragon bed and a row of bookshelves. On the left side is also a seat or a small table. The coldness of early winter.

The emperor was sitting on one side of the bed and flipping through a book, and the other side was a few princes sitting upright, which was rare and honest, but the rolling eyes and the unconcealed excitement clearly proved that The feelings of the little princes leaving the palace for the first time in their lives.

The emperor closed the book, and looked at the princes with interest: "How does it feel to be out of the palace this time?"

As soon as the voice came out, the little princes who were still moving secretly sat up straight at once, and then, as if they had reacted, the little princes suddenly became active.

The children's hearts were revealed, and they started talking one by one.

"My son played with muskets and shot rabbits..."

"That lake is so big, and there are such big worms..."

"Father, can you bring Erchen out to play next time?"

"Father, my son even rode a horse, the horse ran so fast..."

Looking at the little princes who were shouting, the emperor couldn't hide his smile: "Okay, next time the emperor will take you out."

The second prince Li Huan couldn't help rushing to the bed, and asked excitedly: "Really?"

"When you go back to the palace this time, you should study hard. I will test you at the end of the year. If you do well in the exam, next year my father will tour the world and I will take you with me."

Hearing this sentence, the eyes of the other three princes also brightened, and they surrounded the emperor one by one, asking questions non-stop.

The emperor had rare patience, explaining to the little princes.

While driving, the emperor laughed loudly from time to time, which shows that the emperor is in a happy mood.

After about an hour, the mighty team arrived in the capital.

All the warriors left one after another, the emperor drove and carried the princes into the palace, but the emperor never entered the palace, instead, surrounded by the horsemen, he headed towards the long-reformed Daheng Academy of Engineering.

Daheng Academy of Engineering, of course, was restructured from the engineering department of the former Martial Arts Academy. It was restructured by the emperor's own order, and it was specially chosen to be located in Jingshan, the back garden of the royal family, as the location of the school.

Up to now, the school building has naturally been completed, and the institutional system of Daheng Institute of Technology has already been in operation.

From the beginning of the engineering department of the Martial Arts Academy, the existence of engineering has been pure research, and now, Daheng Academy of Engineering is naturally the same.

While still on the way, Xu Guangqi, the Minister of Industry of the Daheng Academy of Engineering, who was temporarily pulled by the emperor to offer wine, reported to the emperor the current situation of the Academy of Engineering.

After listening to Xu Guangqi's report, the emperor couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said in surprise, "There are already nearly a thousand students in the Academy of Engineering?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the current records, there are a total of 38 students in the Academy of Engineering."

The emperor frowned: "I remember that when the Academy of Engineering was established alone, the total number of students was only more than 500. How did it increase so much in just over a year?"

"Your Majesty, the main reason is that after the last imperial examination, the Ministry of Rites drafted, saying that the next imperial examination will include new studies in the assessment regulations, and the Academy of Engineering is on the list of academies drawn up by the Ministry of Rites to train scholars in new studies for free. "

"In recent years, the Academy of Engineering has admitted nearly [-] scholars with pre-Ming achievements from all over the world, and trained new students for them..."

"Following the regulations set by Your Majesty, after the big exam every year, many scholars took part in the big exam. They are quite talented and officially entered the Academy of Engineering..."

The Son of Heaven asked in a deep voice: "At present, in the Academy of Engineering, how many are scholars who have achieved fame in the previous Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Guangqi was a little apprehensive: "There are about 300 people."

The Son of Heaven frowned, but he didn't ask any more questions, but the meaning of thinking between his brows was clearly visible.

Since the establishment of the Academy of Martial Arts, until now, his positioning of the Academy of Engineering has always been a purely academic base where geniuses gather.

But obviously, being a human being is inseparable from humanity.

Therefore, for the students of the Academy of Engineering, he gave extremely generous salary treatment, and at the same time formulated extremely generous reward regulations.

In order to promote the new school and establish the status of the new school, he even set a precedent for students to be knighted. Up to now, the number of students who have been knighted is no less than two palms.

With such treatment, such social status, and so many years of subtle influence, he has no doubts about his attractiveness to the world.

but……

In just one or two years, so many scholars have been added...

The difference between a scholar and a student is a thousand miles!

Scholars in the former Ming Dynasty, from their childhood enlightenment, rushed to study and become officials.

Counting on people who are obsessed with power to engage in academics?

It's not impossible. Being utilitarian means having desires, and having desires. If you want to get ahead in an academic environment, you have to make academic achievements. This can be regarded as a virtuous circle.

but……

In the past, the Academy of Engineering was not accepted by the mainstream gentry. Therefore, for so many years, most of the students of the Academy of Engineering were from poor families, or from low-level families such as lieutenants.

But now, the fate of Daheng is stable, and with the support of the great power in the world, it is obviously inevitable for the new learning to take off!

It is also inevitable to attract the gentry class who used to dismiss this.

The sudden increase of hundreds of scholars is the best proof, and these scholars, these scholars all have fame in the past, the emperor has no doubts about the intricate relationship between them and dignitaries.

Even if you didn't have it before, you will definitely have it when you enter the Daheng Academy of Engineering.

Standing in line has always existed since ancient times, and as the root of the new learning, Daheng Academy of Engineering, with such an undoubted general trend, seems to be...a battleground for military strategists in terms of faction interests... …

The emperor's eyes flickered. He knew that without knowing it, the order of Daheng took shape, and he used countless blood to prove the stability of this order.

In this way, without knowing it, the groups and classes that were excluded by Daheng in the past will inevitably integrate into the order of Daheng, and the conflict of interests between various classes and factions will inevitably fill every place in Daheng.

It's just that he stands too high, holds power too firmly, and many things will not be revealed in front of him. He doesn't pay too much attention to it, and even ignores it...

Chapter 614 Intangible Moral Standards 3000

The north wind is bleak, the dead leaves are falling, and the vitality of spring and summer seems to dissipate in this early winter.

In Jingshan Mountain, blue bricks and red tiles can be seen faintly, and many palaces are hidden in the mountains, looming.

At the foot of the mountain, the gray and white city wall is majestic, the Dahenglong flag is waving, and the city gate stands between the towering gates. The soldiers patrol, and the five characters of Daheng Institute of Technology written by the emperor himself are engraved on the gate like flying dragons and phoenixes.

The city guards the courtyard and is guarded by heavy soldiers. This alone can clearly prove the specialness of Daheng Academy of Engineering.

You know, after the Academy of Engineering was spun off from the Academy of Martial Arts, even the Academy of Martial Arts, the level of security has dropped by more than one level.

"See Your Majesty!"

All the soldiers at the city gate paid homage and shouted, since the Daheng Academy of Engineering was established independently, and it was the first time for the emperor to visit the Academy of Engineering in person.

Passing through the city gate, there is a strong academic atmosphere.

Among the blue bricks and red tiles, students in black school robes can be seen everywhere, or gather in twos and threes to have a good chat, or sit on the ground, having fierce disputes, or gather together to study together.

Looking around, it is an extremely tolerant learning atmosphere.

In fact, the same is true of course. Apart from the requirement of ideological unity, the emperor has no other strict requirements for the Daheng Academy of Engineering.

As for what to study and how to study, the emperor never interfered.

As far as the emperor knows, there are many customizations within the Academy of Engineering.

Just like the Ordnance Department of the Imperial City, it often cooperates with the Academy of Engineering to study the category of ordnance, which directly leads to the fact that ordnance has become a major subject in the Academy of Engineering, and a large number of students have devoted themselves to research.

For example, the Ministry of Industry, since Xu Guangqi served as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry has also been involved with the Academy of Engineering.

How to increase water conservancy facilities such as waterwheels, how to improve agricultural tools, how to improve transportation facilities...

It is also like the steam engine that the emperor casually mentioned when the engineering department of Zengwuyuan was established. It uses steam to drive external objects. Since the establishment of the engineering department of Zengwuyuan, it has been a popular place in the engineering academy for nearly ten years.

It is obvious that even the Son of Heaven has to admit that the development of Daheng's new learning is to promote the development of theoretical new learning through the practical application of new learning.

A new era of learning that has grown wildly and has not yet been fully systematic.

Research in one direction, experiment, and how to make this research direction successful.

And this process, and then to success, the accumulated experience has become the theory of the new learning.

Most of this theory needs the test of time. After all, there is a danger of being overthrown at any time. Therefore, if the Daheng new learning is classified, if the new learning that is now spread with the education system is counted as the first level, then the Daheng Academy of Engineering The new learning is at least the third level, and this third level is unstable and uncertain.

If one day is confirmed and stable, it will be compiled into new learning textbooks step by step and spread to the world.

In this way, one can imagine how detached the Academy of Engineering is in the heart of the emperor.

And the facts clearly prove this point.

Since the establishment of the Engineering Department of the Martial Arts Academy, for so many years, the sky has fallen again and again, and the old order and the old vested interests have been bloody and cruelly cleaned countless times.

But the Academy of Engineering will always be a paradise, and any storm will come to an abrupt end in the Academy of Engineering.

Of course, in order to prevent such a detached position of the Academy of Engineering from being used by those with ulterior motives, the emperor naturally set up many preventive measures.

For example, building a large number of houses in the capital as a residence for the families of students of the Academy of Engineering...

For example, within the Academy of Engineering, there are two departments of auditing and supervision, which are responsible for auditing the whereabouts of money and monitoring corruption and malfeasance...

In order to encourage invention and creation and promote the development of new learning, the emperor established the framework of the patent law as early as the birth of cement. Later, with the internal development of the Academy of Engineering and the acceptance of new learning by the world, the initial The patent law, which was framed by the emperor, has also become more and more systematic and regulated.

It's just that Daheng's territory is too large, and there are too many government affairs in the court. Even after so many years, the areas affected by the patent law are mostly limited to the scope of Beizhili.

But even so, for so long, the existence of the patent law has created many legends and attracted many talents to devote themselves to inventions and creations, contributing to new learning.

However, it is undeniable that the existence of Daheng and Xinxue has always been in an extremely contradictory situation.

The fundamental reason for the industrial revolution in history is that due to the prevalence of commerce, capital colonized the world, and the demand far exceeded the supply. The original production method could not keep up with the global demand for goods, and the production method was forced to upgrade.

In other words, to develop new studies, policy support is a must, as is market demand.

But in today's Daheng, the existence of Xinxue only has the support of policies, and the demand of the market...is too small and too small.

After all, today's Daheng is waiting to be rebuilt, and the people are still living in dire straits, and there is no great market demand at all.

In this way, it naturally led to the fact that today's Daheng, on the one hand, is waiting to be rebuilt, natural disasters continue, and there is an urgent need for agricultural stability.

On the one hand, it also attaches great importance to business and new learning, and hopes that business will drive the development of new learning.

Between the two, it can be said to be extremely contradictory.

From the perspective of future generations, it is completely unreasonable, deformed and abnormal.

However, under the pressure of strong authority, the two have always maintained a delicate balance.

In today's Daheng world, under the emperor's ruling policy, everything is very clear.

On the one hand, it is the extreme protection of agriculture. Whether it is policy taxation or a large-scale disaster relief project that is unprecedented in history, the fundamental purpose is to protect agriculture and achieve the effect of hiding wealth for the people.

On the one hand, it is the promotion of new learning and the steady advancement of commerce, and this promotion is on the premise of protecting agriculture, and even deliberately suppressing the development of commerce when necessary.

Such a contradiction will obviously last for a long time, at least until the goal of hiding wealth among the people is achieved, this contradiction will always exist.

It is obvious that Daheng now, whether it is new learning or business, these two points all depend on the support of the emperor's power politics.

From the state-owned commercial system established by the emperor to the center of gravity of the Daheng dignitaries, the emperor forced him to switch from agriculture to commerce.

Then to the new school education system that relies entirely on policy support...

Business and new learning, these two complementary things, are inseparable from the shadow of power.

And this kind of deformity, although it seems to be created by the emperor, but in a sense, it is also inevitable!

In this age where officials have been the standard and power has been the standard since ancient times, it is basically extremely difficult for the scene of the brutal expansion of capital like in the West, and even force the government to take control of the government.

Even though there was unprecedented collusion between officials and businessmen like in the late Ming Dynasty, the vast majority of those so-called businessmen are just white gloves for the powerful.

From the beginning to the end, it is power, mastering business, not business, mastering power.

The same is true of Daheng today. If business is to develop, it must develop under the influence of powerful people. Whether it is domestic or overseas in the future, the leader must be Quan.

Businessmen turn their minds against customers... Based on the ideological inertia of Chinese civilization, if any businessman succeeds in turning against customers in the future, that businessman, after taking the position of power, will inevitably put his own ass in place and suppress businessmen without hesitation. power holder.

The butt determines the head, and the thought determines the behavior.
