I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 224 New School, Developing Technology

[Emotion value +5000]

A cold system prompt sounded.

Fang Xiu looked at the little empress, frowned, and asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to know why things of different weights fall to the ground at the same time?"

Wu Mingkong turned his head to look at Fang Xiu, and asked impatiently, "Why?"

"This book contains the answer His Majesty wants."

Fang Xiu took out a book from his arms and handed it over.

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback, and reached out to take the book, and in the next second, he saw two large characters written on the upper panel——Physics.

"This is what he said about physics, the truth of everything in the world?"

Wu Mingkong frowned slightly, turned to the first page, and browsed from top to bottom.

After only looking at it for a while, disbelief appeared in her eyes, and she muttered to herself:
"The sound is actually produced by the vibration of the object, and the speed of the sound can be measured."

After reading the introduction to the sound in the book.

The little empress felt her mind was in a mess.

She never thought of it.

Some inconspicuous and extremely common phenomena in daily life are explained in detail in the book.

Such as the generation of sound, the speed of sound and the law of propagation.

The generation of light, the speed of light and the law of propagation.

Also, when the fruit is ripe, why does it fall to the ground instead of flying to the sky.
These things that should be like this in her opinion are explored in detail in the book, and a set of self-consistent principles has been summed up.

She couldn't understand some truths, but she vaguely felt that it was so!
"call--"

After a while, Wu Mingkong let out a long breath, closed the book, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked, "Is everything in this book true? Is the speed of sound more than 100 inches in an instant?"

Fang Xiudao: "Of course, every principle mentioned in the book has a detailed experimental process. If your majesty does not believe it, you can order someone to repeat the relevant experiments."

Hear the unfamiliar vocabulary of experiment.

Wu Mingkong frowned slightly, and asked in doubt, "What is an experiment?"

Fang Xiu explained: "The so-called experiment refers to the attempt to verify the idea."

"For example, if you want to know whether two objects of different sizes and weights fell at the same time or one after the other, you just need to take the relevant materials and try to do it again, just like what His Majesty did just now."

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong's eyes showed a look of surprise, and then he fell into deep thought.

After a while, she raised her eyes to look at Fang Xiu, and asked curiously: "What is the significance of knowing the truth of everything to the court and the people?"

Fang Xiudao: "The significance is huge, far beyond your Majesty's imagination. Everything in people's lives is closely related to physics. How to make a fire, how to build a house, how to build a bridge, and how to smelt all of them contain physics.

In other words, physics and technology are closely related. If no one studies these physics, the development of technology will be very slow. If someone studies these physics, the speed of technology development will be greatly improved! "

Hearing this, the image of Fang Xiu sending her to the sky with a hot air balloon suddenly appeared in Wu Mingkong's mind last time, with a look of surprise on his face, he raised his voice: "I understand!"

Fang Xiu was taken aback by the sudden shout. He looked at the Empress and wanted to say: If you understand, then you understand. Why are you shouting so loudly?

After thinking about it, I still held back.

"You sent me to the sky with a hot air balloon before, using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, and this thermal expansion and contraction is part of physics!"

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu with excitement on his delicate face, and said so.

Fang Xiu nodded in satisfaction, and replied, "You can teach a child!"

Wu Mingkong rolled his eyes at him, and asked, "So you opened a new-style school to let young children learn physics and research technology?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while, nodded, and said, "I do have this intention, but the new school is not just for young children."

Not just for young children, what does that mean?
Wu Mingkong's eyes showed a blank look, and before he could ask, he heard Fang Xiu continue:

"Mathematics, physics, and Chinese are the subjects that all young children must learn. When they grow up, in addition to these three subjects, they can also choose to study other subjects, such as agriculture, engineering, medicine, and economics. "

Obviously, Wu Mingkong had never heard of these words, and he was even more at a loss. He said, "Agriculture, medicine, I can still understand. They are nothing more than studying farming and medical skills. What are engineering and economics?"

Fang Xiudao: "Engineering, as the name suggests, is to study the skills of craftsmen, and Economics is to study the laws of how money works."

Hearing this explanation, Wu Mingkong was a little confused, and said in surprise: "The artisan's technology and the law of money still need special research?"

Fang Xiu said in a firm tone, "Of course!"

Seeing that Wu Mingkong still didn't quite understand, Fang Xiu explained:

"The craftsman's technology is far more important than His Majesty imagined. Let alone firearms, whether it is a cannon or a musket, the raw materials used and the manufacturing process are the result of painstaking research by countless craftsmen!

Without them, there would be no firearms, and there would be no rise of I Dagan.

In addition, there is also the improvement of glass technology, which is also an engineering discipline in essence, and the construction of houses and bridges is also an engineering discipline.

As long as the people of the world are willing to devote themselves to the research of engineering, it may not be long before they can invent a cart that does not use horses."

Seeing Fang Xiu's serious explanation, the little empress also listened very seriously, even though she didn't understand some parts, she resisted not to interrupt.

Until I heard the words "horseless cart".

She finally couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart, looked at Fang Xiu with strange eyes, and said, "Isn't it the same to use human beings instead of horses?"

"."

Fang Xiu was stunned for a while, and then said helplessly: "If you don't use a horse, naturally you won't use a human to pull it."

"What's the use?"

Wu Mingkong looked puzzled and thought, could it be that the car can run on the ground by itself?I'm afraid even the gods can't do this step, right?

"No need for anything, the car can run on the ground by itself, if there is something to pull it, it can only be said to be steam."

Fang Xiu squeezed the space between his eyebrows and tried to explain patiently.

Wu Mingkong frowned even tighter, looked at the helpless Fang Xiu, thought for a while, and swallowed back the remaining questions.

Although she didn't believe it, the car could run by itself.

But before that, there were too many things she didn't believe in.

She didn't believe that Fang Xiu could use ordinary stones to make ice cubes in the scorching summer, nor did she believe that he could pave a completely level official road in a short period of time, let alone that he could make ice cubes within a month. Send yourself to heaven.
Including two brushes in front of a stick of incense falling to the ground at the same time.

These unbelievable and completely impossible things have now become reality.

"As long as it is what he said, everything will become a reality in the end. What is impossible for the car to run by itself?"

With such thoughts in mind, Wu Mingkong chose to keep silent and stopped asking, but said: "You continue."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Fang Xiu very seriously with big watery eyes, blinking and blinking, very cute.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch her little face, and said with a light smile:

"There is nothing to say, in short, engineering is not equal to craftsman, craftsman is important, engineering is more important!

If engineering can be developed, within 20 years, I will be able to sweep the world and dominate the world! "

These words are extremely firm.

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback when he heard this, then nodded heavily after a moment, and said, "I believe in you."

After a pause, he asked again, "What about the economics department?"

Fang Xiudao: "How money works is also a great knowledge. Your Majesty will know it later."

The reason for saying this is because he doesn't know much about the economy. He only knows that if he wants to develop technology, he must pay attention to the economy.

In fact, in any era, the economy is very important.

Although the officials of the household department have not studied economics, they have a deep understanding of economics, but they have not studied systematically, nor have they compiled relevant books.

Fang Xiu set up a school of economics, and he planned to invite experienced officials from the Ministry of Households to study economics carefully.

Of course, before that, he had exchanged a large number of related books from the system, enough for them to study.

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong glanced at Fang Xiu, and thought: You don't know the meaning of economics, do you?
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it out of my mouth, I just said: "The imperial doctor of the imperial medical office also teaches children on weekdays, why do they have to set up a special medical department?"

Fang Xiudao: "There are only about 500 imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Office, including apprentices of all ages, there are less than [-]. The number is too small to meet the needs of the people to see a doctor."

Wu Mingkong was stunned for a moment, and said: "When people see a doctor, they can ask for a doctor, instead of asking for an imperial doctor."

Fang Xiu sighed in his heart, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty thinks that those doctors who have only read one or two books on medical skills are so good at medical skills that it is difficult for them to cure a cold. If the common people are seriously ill, they will only die. "

Wu Mingkong frowned, and retorted softly: "Those doctors should not be as miserable as you said."

Fang Xiudao: "Your Majesty really thinks highly of those Lang Zhong, what I said just now is to give those Lang Zhong face, in fact, they are even worse than what I said.

It’s okay to encounter some common diseases, but when encountering a little more complicated diseases, they will prescribe some plausible prescriptions for the patients. If they live, it is their credit. If they die, it is a matter of course in their eyes.
Of course, I am not blaming those doctors. Sometimes, the prescriptions prescribed by those doctors can really work, and they have indeed saved many lives.

However, after the establishment of the medical department, recruiting a large number of doctors and letting them study systematically in the new school can greatly improve their medical skills, so that they can better save lives and heal the wounded in the future."

In Fang Xiu's eyes, in this era, most doctors are not as good as the veterinarians of later generations. They don't even have the most basic medical knowledge, and they diagnose diseases entirely by their own experience. By providence.

Of course, there are masters among the people, and it is undeniable that there are indeed some doctors who are familiar with medical books and have mastered a set of feasible medical practice experience, which can treat diseases and save lives very well.

But...these are just a few.

"This is the first time I know that you also have a lot of research on medical skills."

Wu Mingkong looked Fang Xiu up and down, and said with deep meaning.

Hear this.

Fang Xiu took out a book from his arms and handed it to the Empress.

Wu Mingkong stretched out his hand to take it. Before reading it, he knew that the book must be related to medical skills.

I took a closer look, and sure enough, there were a few words written on the cover panel of the book - Barefoot Doctor's Handbook.

"Where did you get so many books?"

Wu Mingkong wanted to pretend he didn't know anything, but he couldn't hold back after all, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked.

Fang Xiu thought for a while and explained: "It's a long story. It was a windy and snowy morning. When I opened the door, I saw an old beggar in ragged clothes sitting at the door. He was about to die."

"Your Majesty knows that I am a kind-hearted person. Seeing him like this, I will definitely not refuse to save him. In fact, I did exactly that.

The minister helped him into the room and gave him a bowl of hot water and some food. After he recovered, he held the minister's hand and insisted on accepting him as an apprentice.

I thought about it, if I want to serve the imperial court with a passionate heart, how can I casually recognize someone as a master, but I didn't agree.

The old man sighed, took out some books from his pocket, and handed them to the minister."

Speaking of this, he paused.

Looking at the little empress with bright eyes, she said solemnly: "The books Your Majesty saw were given to me by the old beggar back then."

The voice fell.

Lin Wan'er's clear eyes sparkled behind her, and she couldn't help but said: "Master Xiang's experience is like a plot in a storybook, that old beggar must be an expert!"

"."

Wu Mingkong glanced at Lin Wan'er speechlessly, for a moment he didn't know what to say.

It was obviously made up to coax children, but this stupid girl really believed it!
Since Fang Xiu didn't want to say anything, Wu Mingkong didn't ask any more questions, but said, "With the imperial examination, your new school should not cause any trouble."

It has to be said that, as the ruler of a country, the little empress has a thorough understanding of the problem, and she can point out the key points at a glance.

The new-style schools are mainly aimed at a group of people who can read and write, as well as young children who have the conditions to read and write.

And these two types of people, there is no doubt that they will never waste time on these heretical ways, and will only focus on the imperial examination.

after all.

There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and they all refer to things after the Zhongju.

What's the point of reading a book that doesn't take the imperial examination?

Therefore, if you really make up your mind to promote new schools, the imperial examination must be changed accordingly.
This is also the main reason why the Ministry of Rites wants to obstruct the new school.

Fang Xiu had thought about this question before.

New-style schools must be established.

The imperial examination cannot be canceled in a short time.

Especially now that the war is not over, the abolition of the imperial examinations will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of scholars all over the world and cause turmoil.

This matter should be gradually figured out.

Specifically how to do it.

Fang Xiu already had a rough plan in mind, and said:

"The new-style school has just been established, so it's normal that it can't cause waves. In a year or two, I didn't think it would cause any waves."

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Fang Xiu just said that the new school is so important, but then changed the subject and said that he didn't think about it causing any disturbances. What does this mean?
Seemingly seeing the doubts of the little empress, Fang Xiu explained:

"The imperial examination has been carried out for hundreds of years, and it has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is absolutely impossible to replace it with a new school in a short period of time."

"The establishment of the new-style school is just a start. The students who come out of the new-style school in the future can easily get the golden house. Yan Ruyu, I don't need to worry about it. The people will send their children to the new-style school by themselves!"

If you don't take the imperial examination, you can have a golden house, Yan Ruyu
Wu Mingkong was silent for a long time when he heard this, but he still couldn't help asking: "Is it possible?"
