Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 115 Siku Destroying Books

Three months passed in a flash.

Maybe the old dog Qian Deaf really doesn't care, or maybe it's because the old dog Qian Deaf is completely desperate. In short, the books, drawings, documents and other things that Zhu Jinsong wants, as well as 1000 million taels of silver, are quite a lot per piece of paper. It was also sent to Jinan Mansion without any shortage of money.

The old dog Qian Deaf also sent an additional copy of "Siku Quanshu", and even wrote a letter to Zhu Jinsong, saying, "I have always attached importance to culture, and collected the books of Ru Han people in "Siku Quanshu" I thought it was saved, no thanks."

Zhu Jinsong sneered and put away Qian Deaf Old Dog's letter.

Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal, and settle accounts slowly.

If it weren't for the advanced Internet in later generations, if Zhu Jinsong hadn't got those books, drawings, and documents, I'm afraid Zhu Jinsong wouldn't know how many good things Qian Deaf and my Qing court destroyed.

Not to mention the world's earliest encyclopedia "Yongle Dadian", nor to read those "Tiangong Kaiwu", "Illustration of Military Weapons", or even the blueprint documents of the treasure ship, just two unknown books, It was enough to startle an eyeball.

"Qiqi Tushuo": The circle is the earth, A is the center of the earth, B, C, and E are all heavy objects, and each body wants to go straight down to the center of the earth, which is its origin.For example, when a magnet attracts iron, the nature of the iron is that of the stone. No matter whether the stone is above or below, left or right, the iron must go to it, so its nature is the same.

Like the theory of gravity?
"Illustrations of Newly Made Various Vessels": The celestial sphere spins, the graben collects itself, the sundial moves by itself, the moon gauge rotates by itself, the water wheel draws by itself, the water leak rises by itself, the fire boat goes by itself, the fire and thunder explode by itself, the wind wheel rotates, and the windmill travel far.

What can be associated with the words "the fire boat goes away"?Is it a steam ship?
"Illustration of Qi Qi Qi Shuo" was published in the seventh year of Tianqi, but Newton, who is recognized by the world as the discovery of gravity, was born in the 16th year of Chongzhen.

"Illustration of Newly Made Various Vessels" was published no later than the 17th year of Chongzhen, but the world's first steam engine, which is recognized by the world, was invented by the European Dennis Papen in the 18th year of Chongzhen.

Contradiction?
Not contradictory.

In fact, according to the relevant historical records of the Qing Dynasty, the Belgian missionary Nan Huairen had already built a set of steam engines for Kangxi in 11 years. Some people called them "steam engine cars", which are now in museums.

"Qiqi Tushuo" was included in "Siku Quanshu" by our Taqing Dynasty, but the evaluation of "Qiqi Tushuo" is "absurd and unrestrained, not enough to investigate".

Even Zeng Cheng, who was the magistrate of Tai'an Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty before, looked at the two books in his hand with a confused expression.

One is the original "Illustration of Qiqi", and the other is "Illustration of Qiqi" included in "Siku Quanshu".

"The two books, which were supposed to be exactly the same, were included in the Siku Quanshu, but they were deleted so much."

Thinking of this, Zeng Cheng's face gradually became serious again: "If the Tatars are good students and study "Illustrations of Strange Weapons" and "Illustrations of Newly Made Various Weapons", wouldn't their firearm skills be improved by leaps and bounds?"

"The Tartars may not have cared about these many books and blueprints before, but now that the master has asked for so many books and documents, wouldn't the Tartars pay attention?"

Zhu Jinsong shook his head with a smile, flipped through the "Illustrations of Newly Made Various Utensils" in his hand, and replied casually: "You must know that the foundation of the Qiande old dog is the Eight Banners of Tartars. Once the people's wisdom of the Eight Banners is opened, Qian How can a deaf old dog rule over them?"

"So, instead of worrying about Qian Deaf's old dog being able to let the hardcore farmers of the Eight Banners learn these things, it is more realistic to worry that the sow will climb the tree."

Zeng Cheng didn't know how to answer Zhu Jinsong's words.

Zeng Cheng is also very clear in his heart that we, the Qing Dynasty, have always been extremely defensive about any knowledge other than fooling the people and benefiting its rule, especially the knowledge about firearms, organs, and objects.

Kang Mazi, an old winter melon, even said a famous saying: "Don't learn from the Mongolian and Han!"

After thinking about it, I think what the big master said is right. After all, I am fundamentally wrong. When Qian Deaf and Old Dog come here, I will spare no effort in such things as destroying books, banning books and writing baths, and promoting culture and education. If it can be abolished, it can be abolished, and if it can be prevented, it can be prevented.

Of course, if the tens of thousands of poems written by Old Dog Qian Deaf are included, then Old Dog Qian Deaf has wasted a lot of paper on culture and education.

That's it.

After complaining secretly in his heart, Zeng Cheng looked at Zhu Jinsong again and said: "Then according to the opinion of the master, how should these books be disposed of?"

Zhu Jinsong said: "Of course it is to call craftsmen and print out a few more copies."

"Looking back, people will build a library next to the prefectural school and county school, which is specially used to store these books for the students of the academy to read."

Zeng Cheng looked at Zhu Jinsong in a daze, and he wanted to say a thousand things in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it——I asked you how to dispose of these books, and asked where you plan to store them. How to save it, you are better off, directly arrange such a big project for the original?

Let’s not talk about Henan, let’s just talk about Shandong. Shandong is known as nine prefectures, ten prefectures, one hundred singles and eight counties. Why do you have to set up a library in every prefecture and county to store these books?

Co-authoring "Yongle Dadian" alone has to print [-] sets to start?How much paper is this?How much does it cost?How much manpower will this take?
The finances of the entire Meng Lianggu rebel group will go bankrupt, bastard!
Zhu Jinsong waited for a long time but did not wait for Zeng Cheng to reply, so he couldn't help but looked up, but saw that Zeng Cheng's face was full of tangled pain, and Zhu Jinsong's expression suddenly became weird: "You don't Do you think we are going to place "Yongle Dadian" in every library?"

Zeng Cheng was taken aback, and asked, "Isn't it?"

It's your size!

Why is "Yongle Dadian" something that ordinary people can understand?

Books like "Illustrations of Strange Weapons" and "Illustrations of Newly Made Various Weapons" are similar for the students of the county school. The key is that books like "Illustrations of Military Weapons" and "Wu Bei Zhi" can be placed in the library next to the county school for people to read. ?

No matter what, you have to wait until the government school level.

After glaring at Zeng Cheng, Zhu Jinsong said: "You should discuss with others yourself, what kind of books are allowed to be placed in the library of what level, you can't put all the books in the library."

"Like the library in Jinan Prefecture, you can store a set of "Yongle Dadian", like the school in Henan Prefecture, you can also store a set. You don't think the county library in Ningyang County also has a set?"

Only then did Zeng Cheng bow down in response.

But Zhu Jinsong continued to ask: "By the way, what happened to those social schools, county schools, and government schools?"

When it comes to social studies, county schools, and prefectural schools, Zeng Cheng, the leader of the civil service system, suddenly feels worried: "When you return to the head of the family, nine out of ten villages in Shandong have already established social schools. , the difference now is that there are not enough teachers."

"As for Henan, the progress of sociology is less than half, and teachers are even more scarce."

"In contrast, the progress of county schools and prefectural schools is very gratifying. Whether it is Shandong or Henan, the county schools and prefectural schools in almost every county have begun to teach students."

"However, this has also brought about a new problem, that is, by the 160th year of Chongzhen at the latest, there should be many students in the prefectural schools in Shandong and Henan who have graduated. Should there be an imperial examination by then?"

"In addition, our teaching under Meng Lianggu's rule is different from that of the Qing Dynasty or any other dynasty in history. With so many different subject classifications, the imperial examination is also a troublesome thing."

But Zhu Jinsong said: "What's the trouble, the imperial examination is abolished, and another university is established, first in Shandong, and then in Henan. Candidates from the two provinces will choose the best one to enter the university. "

"The lack of manpower in the government should be promoted from the current officials first, and if there is not enough, go to the university to recruit people to train."

Zeng Cheng's complexion changed, and he persuaded: "Should the head of the family reconsider? I only heard that Song Huizong abolished the imperial examinations in history and built the Imperial College instead. However, is this a bit unlucky?"

But Zhu Jinsong shook his head and said: "Time shifts, the world changes, there is one time, this time is another time."

"During the Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty abolished the imperial examinations and established Taixue. It just changed the form of the imperial examinations, but in essence it was still the same as the imperial examinations."

"Actually, no matter whether it is the Daqing Dynasty or the past dynasties, all officially recognized knowledge is only Confucianism, and the scope of the imperial examination cannot be separated from the Four Books and Five Classics."

"Actually, any student, when he arrives at the county school, basically has already learned all the knowledge, and the subsequent government school and imperial examination are nothing more than poor experience."

"On our Meng Lianggu side, there are mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and many other subjects in the county schools and government schools. These subjects are no longer suitable for the imperial examination."

"In the future, as more and more knowledge is discovered and sorted out, students will need to spend more time. It is very likely that a person may not be able to complete a classification of knowledge in his entire life, and can only take part of it to learn. .”

"If we continue to use the imperial examination, won't we go back to the old way? Those students can still focus on studying knowledge?"

After thinking about it, Zhu Jinsong gave another example: "Do you remember Zeng Futai, last month, Niu Erben, who lives in Linjia Village, Lanling, in the Yizhou Prefecture School, improved the steam engine? "

Of course Zeng Cheng remembered Niu Erduan.

As the name suggests, this kid is a bit stupid, and he is also a bit stubborn, but it is precisely because of this stubbornness that the kid improved the steam engine by chance. All the arsenals are using the kid's improved steam engine. For things like the evisceration line of the barrel of the flintlock, the efficiency is several times higher than before.

Of course, if it's just that, it's not a big deal, but the boy and his family are rewarded with a lot of money.

The problem is that many things are from point to point.

With the improvement of the steam engine, many teaching materials prepared by the Meng Lianggu Rebel Group for county schools and government schools had to be deleted, modified, and a lot of new knowledge added.

And this just happened to make the students of county schools and prefectural schools more academically.

In case someone can make further progress on this basis, then these textbooks will have to be revised accordingly. The more new knowledge is added, the heavier the students' studies will be.

Originally, it may take two years to complete the entire county school and prefectural school, but it may take two and a half or even three or more years in the future.

There are also history subjects such as government schools. With the documents of the Ming Dynasty being transported to Jinan, it is conceivable that there are many things that need to be deleted, modified and added in the history textbooks of county schools and government schools.

Therefore, as more and more knowledge may be added in the future, if people follow the traditional imperial examination model and let people learn all these messy knowledge, and then consider the imperial examination after learning, it is very likely that a person may not be able to do it in his entire life. Live until the day you finish your studies.

Thinking of this situation, Zeng Cheng felt a little shuddering - his stupid son is also studying in a government school!

It's just that Zeng Cheng felt a pain in the ass when he thought of the government school, especially the history subject of the government school.

It’s nothing to talk about history in history subjects, but to talk about why the rebels of the past dynasties failed and what role the people played in it, isn’t this stepping on the horse hand in hand to teach people to rebel?

All right, even if this is the case, there is no problem, but the biggest problem facing the Meng Lianggu rebel group, how to solve the problem of lack of teachers?

Don’t forget, the head of the family wiped out Bei Kong’s sect as soon as his brain got hot, and he didn’t respect the south Kong.

The head of the family not only publicly sacrificed Confucius, but even publicly sacrificed Laozi, Guanzi, Mozi, Xunzi, Han Feizi, etc., directly offending more than half of the scholars in the world, and made very few scholars willing to join Meng Lianggu rebel group.

This has also led to the shortage of teachers in the current Meng Lianggu rebel group, and the promotion of sociology has also slowed down.

Of course, this model of cultivating everything from scratch, including officials, officials, soldiers, and divisions, has its benefits. At the very least, the entire territory under the control of the Meng Lianggu rebel group, from Shandong to Henan, from the government to the localities, is in the same position. Such a model of exerting energy in one place will not be as intriguing as the government and localities of the Qing Dynasty.

Among other things, Zeng Cheng, the former prefect of Tai'an, has the most say on this.

When he first heard that there was a rebel in Ningyang County under the Yanzhou government, Zeng Cheng's first reaction was how to help Zhu Jinsong, a rebel, to make things worse, because the bigger the trouble, the more it can prove The incompetence of Wu Yaozu, the magistrate of Yanzhou Prefecture.

For the sake of the party and the state, give Wu Yaozu a hand?
It doesn't exist. My Daqing also has evaluations for officials. Every year, there are only so many people who can be rated as top-notch. One more Wu Yaozu, the hope of getting promoted and making a fortune is one point less.

Moreover, with the cultivation of the first or previous batches of talents, the Meng Lianggu rebel group can already use the same model to train more talents. The manpower is tight, but the problem of occupying new territories without reliable manpower has been solved. question.

But, if you understand this truth, you understand this truth, but when you think of yourself as the leader of the civil service system of Meng Lianggu's rebellious group, you not only have to deal with Meng Lianggu's own mess, but also go to the head of the family from time to time to toss the night Zeng Cheng couldn't help but worry about the little hair on the top of his head when he was giving lectures at the Ganhe Official Training School.

Blue thin, mushrooms.

Unconsciously stroking the hair on the back of his head, Zeng Cheng said to Zhu Jinsong with a smile: "Then according to the wishes of the master, after the minister returns, he will organize manpower to sort out these books by category, and then send people to build the library. "

Sometimes, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

With these books, blueprints and documents obtained from Qian Deaf Old Dog, the scientific research of the entire Meng Lianggu rebel group will not lag behind other countries in the world, and even surpass it.

Because in my Daqing period, the amount of knowledge of various subjects in the world was not as complicated as that of later generations. A child who was enlightened at the age of four could basically learn all the basic knowledge when he was in his twenties.

From the 20s to the 40s, this is almost the golden age of a scientific researcher.

In other words, with these books, blueprints, and documents, as long as Meng Lianggu's rebel group doesn't lose the chain like Qian Deaf and Old Dog, then Zhongyuan Tangkou, the title of king, can always maintain the rank of king.

After secretly rejoicing for a while, Zhu Jinsong said solemnly again: "This matter must be paid close attention to. Also, those books about firearms and machinery are not allowed to be read or studied by those who are not of our kind. Those who lent these books to foreigners will be punished as the crime of leaking secrets, and in serious cases, three generations of the nine tribes will be implicated."

Zeng Cheng nodded, shook the "Illustration of Military Weapons" in his hand, and said: "Don't worry, the master, I know the pros and cons. There is a warning in this book: The most feared thing in China by barbarians is firearms."

"In my opinion, it is best not to allow students to take books out of the library, but only allow them to read in the library."

Zhu Jinsong hummed, but waved his hands again, and said: "You can handle these things according to Zeng Futai, we can trust you."

As soon as Zhu Jinsong said that, Zeng Cheng knew something bad was going to happen.

Judging from the temperament of the head of the family, if there is no particularly important matter, such as printing books, sorting out teaching materials, and building a library, it is absolutely impossible for the head of the house not to ask.

Therefore, there must be other things that are more important than these things, so that the master can completely let go.

Besides personally leading troops to smash other people's places, Zeng Cheng really couldn't think of anything more important than this.

The problem is that it is already the 150th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and the twelfth lunar month of the 50th year of Qiande in the Qing Dynasty. It seems that the Chinese New Year is not too long away. Is the master planning to mess with someone else?

It’s okay to say that it’s okay to smash Zhu Zhongzhi or Zhu Zhongji’s two fakes, but if it’s a place to throw money and deaf old dogs...

hiss!
