The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 594 The Ming Dynasty in the eyes of foreign scholars and the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of Zhu Gaochi

Beijing.

The conference hall lent by the Food Stamp Bank headquarters is on the eighth floor of the fifteen-story building. Under the kerosene chandelier with a transparent lampshade, the solid wood table is filled with drawings and drafts. There are triangles, circles, etc. on the drawings.

There are more than a dozen scholars, and everyone looks tired.

It has been a long time since anyone had had such a high-intensity and long academic exchange. Their physical strength and age made them very tired, but their spirit of learning made them unwilling to stop.

"The buoyancy of an object is equal to the weight of its displacement. There is an inevitable relationship between the two."

Zamaradin pointed at the drawing, using his unskilled Ming dialect, and took out a hard pen to draw some patterns and list formulas on the white paper provided by the food stamp bank.

This way of expression and the new ideas brought by Zamaradin once again amazed mathematicians.

“What is the definition of drainage.”

Scholars of the Ming Dynasty wanted to give a standard based on Zamaradin's own words.

Different ideas bring different sparks academically.

The collision of civilizations.

With the arrival of scholars from Central Asia and West Asia, there are also a large number of cultural relics and books. Through newspaper publicity, various academic circles have already ignited enthusiasm, and scholars from all sides have come to the capital.

While being astonished, the scholars from Central Asia and West Asia received the most solemn welcome and very high standards of treatment.

"You must work hard to ensure their daily needs, and you must not be harsh on them."

An official from the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty said to the Zhonghua Industrial Bureau Restaurant.

"Rest assured, our service is the best."

The shopkeeper of the Zhonghua Industrial Bureau Restaurant had a look of assurance on his face.

All scholars from Central and Western Asia live in the guest rooms of the Zhonghua Industrial Bureau Hotel, where all their daily necessities are provided, including their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and daily necessities.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites were still worried.

More and more scholars have given high praise to foreign scholars, and with the encouragement of His Highness the Crown Prince, no one in the Ministry of Rites dares to treat these foreign scholars and craftsmen lightly.

So officials from the Ministry of Rites went to greet those people in person and asked if they had any dissatisfaction.

"very good."

"The splendid civilization of the above country is amazing. There is such a country in the world. No wonder the great prophet said that learning in China is really incredible."

After half a year's journey, all the anxiety was gone when we arrived at the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Good food and hospitality make everyone feel valued.

As for the Daming Industry Bureau Restaurant that received them, they knew that this place was not an ordinary business, but a semi-official one.

see.

The official from the Ministry of Rites smiled and said gently: "All scholars, no matter where they are from in the world, can receive talent allowances as long as they are willing to participate in the assessment of the Ming Technology Department or the Ming Technology Association."

"Talent allowance?"

Some people don't need an interpreter, and some people need an interpreter.

Everyone tries to learn Minghua as quickly as possible.

"Although the talent allowance is not high, it can guarantee your daily necessities. You don't need to worry about chores, you can just concentrate on learning."

An official from the Ministry of Rites introduced.

"There are many scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and they are also the most noble people in the Ming Dynasty. Our Ming Dynasty has been proud of reading since ancient times. Those who read, even in the countryside, are the most respected people by the people."

"So the Ming Dynasty respects scholars very much from top to bottom. Scholars are treated in such a way that all walks of life, whether common people or soldiers, or even any industry, want to be scholars."

"There is such a country."

"Only such a country can have such a civilization. The prophet is indeed great. He could travel thousands of miles to know China and understand the greatness of China."

Zamaradin said piously.

In the past few months, I have interacted with people from all walks of life in Ming Dynasty, and I have gained a certain understanding of the people in this country.

This country takes no pride in killing.

On the contrary, any monarch, no matter how powerful he is in martial arts, will be criticized for massacring his people.

They can even teach the monarch to act according to virtue. For the monarch of the country, he must abide by etiquette and morality in every word and deed, otherwise he will lose his reputation and be criticized by the world.

Incredible.

same.

This country is very intense.

Anyone who bullies them will suffer powerful revenge. Their sages also said that it is not too late for ten generations to take revenge. Oh my God, such a powerful spirit of revenge is really scary.

They are also very arrogant.

They even said that all the land in the world where the sun and moon shine is their land.

However, the smart Zamaradin already knows how to deal with this country. With three points of praise and ten points of effort, he will be regarded as the friendliest friend by them.

Their sages also said so.

It is a great pleasure to have friends from far away. What they are most happy about is making friends.

really.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites remembered Zamaradin. His Highness the Crown Prince had not yet received these people in person, but based on his understanding of His Highness the Crown Prince, he would summon them sooner or later.

The Ministry of Rites was responsible for summoning them, and it probably fell on him.

The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette must also be careful when selecting those people to meet His Highness the Crown Prince. Undoubtedly, Zamaradin, who has a very friendly attitude, has become a preliminary player in the hearts of the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette.

A group of scholars led by Zamaradin tried their best to get closer to the Ming Dynasty. Based on the introduction of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the special access of the staff of the Technology Department, they participated in the evaluation of the Ming Dynasty.

Many people received talent subsidies from Ming Dynasty.

night.

Under the light, Zamaradin looked at the beautifully printed food stamps in his hand.

"Is this the technology of the great country that invented printing? There are so many amazing things in this country." Zamaradin knew the value of food stamps.

Relying on the talent allowance, I can live in Daming without any worries.

If he can produce results, his life will undergo earth-shaking changes. He can buy that kind of building and make it his new home. Maybe he can even marry a woman from the Ming Dynasty.

It’s just that Ming women are too arrogant.

They are very conservative.

Opening Daming's paper and touching the exquisite book, Zamaradin couldn't help but sigh again.

Papermaking.

Oh my goodness.

Is there anything else that was not invented in this country?

It is the civilization that guides the world.

Praise the Prophet.

The omniscient prophet was able to know the greatness of China 1000 years ago and guide people to learn Chinese knowledge. Unfortunately, their civilization was destroyed by barbarism long ago.

Yes, the biggest opponent of civilization is barbarism.

Even such a great China was conquered by barbarism, but such a country soon became free again.

What about your own country?

Zamaradin's eyes were dim, and he saw no hope, so he took notes carefully and recorded everything in the Ming Dynasty, hoping that even if there was only a slight chance, he could spread civilized knowledge back to the country.

I hope to see the day when my country is free and can be as civilized and prosperous as the Ming Dynasty.

A country with agricultural technology that has a planting and harvest rate of 1:40.

This achievement alone is enough to shock the world.

There is also their fertilizer industry, coke industry, and even their social system. People are polite and full of benevolence. Everything visible to the naked eye is a place for people to learn.

Of course the smart Zamaradin knew that there was something wrong with it.

But what can be perfect?

"After my friends and I came to Daming, most of what my friends talked about every day was how rich the land was in Daming and how pleasant the climate was. This is the best land given by God."

"But I don't think so."

"Especially when I learned that they can transform even the mountains into a planting environment called terraces, and the efficiency of harvesting food is greater than that of all known countries. It is said that man can conquer nature."

"Yes."

"In this land, they actually say they want to defeat the sky."

"There are princes and generals who have the guts to be happy with each other, and they act like a man when they can take his place. This shows that the people of this country have started to resist all unfair phenomena very early."

"Two thousand years ago, there was a story about Yu Old Man Who Moved the Mountains here. If you know about Yu Old Man Who Moved the Mountains, you will know how powerful and terrifying this nation is, because they know how to persevere and rely on diligence to create wealth every day for ten years. It’s going to be so huge.”

"They even invented the imperial examination, which I would say is the most praiseworthy and learning system in the world."

"Only the smartest people can be officials, not relying on blood. In a world that emphasizes the hereditary tradition of blood, a country like this has begun to reject blood."

"Their people can actually stand up to officials who break the law."

"In the neighborhoods in their city, the people actually manage themselves."

"Their sages began to explore the social model very early, so they came up with a social system that restricted the power of the king. They paid attention to etiquette, justice and integrity from top to bottom, and pursued a peaceful society."

"For such a country, it is not surprising that its civilization is so strong and powerful. It should be taken for granted."

"My friends and I are different. They think that Ming Dynasty has many technologies and knowledge that are most worth learning, but I think that Ming Dynasty's social system is the most worth learning."

"why?"

"Because China's society since ancient times has focused on how the people can live the best life, or even let the people be self-sufficient and not let the outside world absorb too much from them."

"And which country in the world can do this?"

"In the eyes of the monarchs of various countries, the common people are their slaves, their source of troops, and their taxes, but they are not their subjects. The concept of making the common people self-sufficient has never been proposed."

"Dong dong dong."

"Excuse me, Mr. Zamaradin, we see that the light in your room is always on, so I would like to ask, do you need night food?"

Zamaradin wiped his eyes.

Then I went to open the door and saw the waiter with a smiling face.

"The lowest talent allowance in the Ming Dynasty was 2000 cents per month, and many were one yuan per month. I heard that there were [-] scholars and craftsmen from foreign countries, and most of them received subsidies."

"The monthly expenditure is more than 1000 yuan, which is nearly 2 yuan a year."

"Is the Ming Dynasty already so wealthy? Are all the people already fed and clothed, or is it that the military expenditures spent in Central and Western Asia have begun to reap benefits, and they don't even need domestic supplies."

The Ming Dynasty Talent Subsidy is the most enviable policy.

In the eyes of many people, it is giving away money.

Use the people's money to distribute it to that group of people.

Not to mention the scholars and craftsmen of the country in the past, even the few foreign ones absorbed every year, such as Goryeo and Japanese, and even those from Southeast Asia, did not cause any waves.

But this time the movement was too big.

Especially the preferential treatment given to that group of people aroused the jealousy of many people.

A middle-aged man in uniform, with a cane in his hand, cowhide shoes on his feet, and a hat, arrived at the teahouse in a two-wheeled carriage. The teahouse not only provides free newspapers, but also has a singing lady and a storyteller. .

On the stage of the tea house, there was a young lady wearing a pink dress with a white background. She had exquisite makeup on her face and bright lips. It was obvious that she had applied a new style of lipstick. It was not only bright red but also translucent, making people want to kiss her.

The capital city cracked down once.

Every industry that claims to be a mother has suffered a devastating blow, but other industries have prospered, and their status has become much higher, and they are protected by the law.

Many people come to the teahouse not only to drink tea and chat, but also to see beautiful women and listen to stories.

The beautiful woman sang a song with Yuyao accent.

There is a musician behind the stage.

Many spectators drank tea and ate melon seeds and peanuts.

The middle-aged man on crutches climbed the stairs to the second floor, where there are private rooms. You can look down from the top, and you can also close the door and order the ladies who specialize in service.

After several people saluted, they each sat down.

"Foreign monks like to chant sutras. This has been the case since ancient times. Is there anything strange about it?"

"I've also seen those people's stuff. How can it be so magical? It's just a fresh picture. On the contrary, many of the things are, in principle, ours."

Hearing the old man's complaint, his companion smiled and said.

"Since you've seen it, why don't you tell me?"

"What's the use of saying it."

"After translation, other people's things do sound novel, and His Royal Highness likes them. He is most supportive of external learning, as if we are old stubborn if we don't learn from others."

"Haha."

"That's true."

Several people were laughing and making tea.

The tea set is in the hands of the host, and a series of skills are dazzling to watch. In the end, even the action of pouring the tea seems to be very knowledgeable. The guests return gifts individually, which seems to be more exquisite than drinking tea in the hall.

"It has always been that things outside are fragrant, but our own things are smelly. I see that some people are profiting from it and raising the status of those people for their own benefit."

"Who knows."

Some people don't care, some people don't care.

Middle-aged people care a lot.soon.

An article criticizing this phenomenon appeared in the local newspaper of Yingtianfu.

"What knowledge is worth pondering?"

"I went to study and read a lot. Various Western arithmetic is just recorded in different ways. In principle, it is no more than "Zhou Bi Suan Jing", including their astronomy. Is it possible that foreign astronomy is better than ours? Even though I have become more advanced, I still went to read it, but the result is still what is in the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing"."

"Could it be that if you change your name to a foreign country, it would become so popular?"

"I can't help but change my name to a foreign country and package my things in foreign words. I just want to see if those people's reaction is as big as that."

"That buoyancy thing is even more ridiculous."

"During the Three Kingdoms period, we had the story of Cao Zhi calling an elephant. Someone changed the story and immediately made people scream. After all, it was because he was ignorant and did not understand the things of his ancestors, so he behaved like this and was ignorant. , so there is a phenomenon that foreign monks like to recite sutras.”

"That Rutgers view, isn't it the Taoist way of staying out of things?"

"That dialectic, isn't it just our Taoist way of following the crowd?"

"I'm surprised. People take the same thing, the name of our ancestors, for granted, don't take it to heart, and even curse it. Others just change the name. The same core, immediately triggered a wave of learning."

"In this case, we might as well not want the things of our ancestors, give up everything, and directly learn from others. Since other people's things are so good, what else do we need from our ancestors?"
-
Wenhua Hall.

Everything comes back to life in spring.

The garden craftsmen are carefully renovating the garden in front of the Wenhua Palace Square, and the inner garden of the harem is also undergoing major renovations. It is said to be a major renovation, but in fact there is no major construction work. Zhu Di has been away from the capital for a year.

Mrs. Guo took her children to the harem to accompany her mother and queen to relieve boredom. The family members of the prince and the prince would also often enter the palace.

Xu Miaojin also came.

Zhu Gaochi's aunt never got married, and her family didn't push her.

The queen mother was very anxious and wanted to find a good son-in-law for her little sister, but for some reason, she didn't like any of them. There were even rumors outside that the emperor was interested in his sister-in-law.

Furious, Mrs. Guo threw the porcelain.

Xu Miaojin also didn't come to the palace for a long time. On the contrary, Zhu Di was not in the imperial city for more than a year, so Xu Miaojin did not refuse the eldest sister's invitation and came to the imperial city to see her sister from time to time.

Zhu Gaochi rarely went to see Xu Miaojin.

It is said in later generations that after Xu's death, Zhu Di wanted to make Xu Miaojin his queen, but Xu Miaojin refused.

The authenticity remains to be tested.

It is also said that Xu Miaojin was unwilling to marry because of her second sister's affairs.

The eldest sister of the Xu family married Zhu Di, King of Yan, and the second sister married Zhu Gui, King of Dai.

Unlike Zhu Di, the acting king Zhu Gui had no feelings for his wife. Instead, he favored his concubines and persecuted his first wife.

This concubine is also named Xu.

However, she was stingy. Ming history records that Princess Dai persecuted her maids and committed all kinds of evil. In fact, it was this concubine named Xu, not the second sister of the Xu family, who had already been relegated to the cold palace by King Dai.

The water thrown by the married daughter.

What's more, it's the Prince's Mansion.

Xu Miaojin has been sad for her second sister since she was a child. She has also seen the indifference of men and has the idea of ​​never marrying.

This is the general reason.

In the year when Zhu Di succeeded in his rebellion, Xu Miaojin was already 23 years old and should have gotten married long ago. The Xu family couldn't know the history and know that the future emperor was Zhu Di, so they kept their third daughter in the house unmarried. .

What's more, Xu Miaojin was almost 30 years old when Queen Xu died.

The Xu family still has a lot of affection for their sisters and the two Xu brothers. That's why Xu Miaojin didn't want to marry, but no one forced her. The Xu family's family tradition was indeed good for that era.

Mrs. Guo had two sons and one daughter.

When Xu Miaojin saw her lovely grandniece, she enthusiastically stepped forward to hold hands. Guo's face was full of smiles. The two ladies had met in Peiping and Yingtian Mansion when they were children, so they were not strangers.

Guo had not yet married Zhu Gaochi, and when she was a young lady, she returned to the capital with Xu Miaojin.

It's like a lifetime ago.

Looking at the outstanding Xu Miaojin, Guo couldn't help but feel a little envious. The aura of youth seemed to have not disappeared from her childhood best friend, but instead she became more and more graceful.

Xu Miaojin held Zhu Yuantong's hand, just like a young girl holding a girl's hand.

Guo's eyes were a little wary.

fortunately.

It's possible for everyone, but it's impossible for her. Guo couldn't help but feel happy.

Recently, someone outside the palace said that His Majesty the Crown Prince should have a concubine. Although Guo didn't stop it with her mouth, she couldn't help mentioning it in her heart. Everyone felt that they needed to be vigilant. Fortunately, her husband did not have such thoughts.

Her husband can only be hers, no one can take her away.

"My aunt."

Zhu Zhanji asked curiously: "Why is my aunt not married yet?"

Guo Cailian had a smile on her face and looked at Xu Miaojin with concern.

Xu Miaojin didn't expect Zhu Zhanji to ask her. Seeing the little man's innocent appearance, she didn't know how to answer, so she looked at her sister for help.

Xu sighed.

"Children should not ask about adult matters."

When Zhu Zhanji heard his grandma's scolding, he looked at his mother aggrievedly, and Mrs. Guo hugged him distressedly.

Seeing this, Xu Miaojin felt bored.

What can a child understand if he talks like a child?

The palace is really not a good place.

Xu Miaojin was indifferent to the world, but she didn't understand anything. After staying for a while, she spoke to her sister, then said goodbye, and left the imperial city regardless of everyone's attempts to stay.

in the carriage.

Xu Miaojin lowered her head, no one knew what she was thinking.

The thin eyebrows frowned slightly.

There was a trace of sadness on the fair face.

"Ugh."

a long time.

There was a soft sigh in the carriage.

The carriage left the imperial city. In the attic of Wenhua Palace, Zhu Gaochi saw a carriage and didn't know which family it belonged to.

The Ministry of War brought news about Samarkand.

His Majesty the Emperor is personally stationed in Samarkand. Timur's army has arrived in Bukhara. The decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty should have already occurred. The outcome of the war is still unknown to them.

Inside the hall.

The ministers couldn't help but worry.

"It stands to reason that we have the right time, place, and people, and we are at the top, and we are waiting for work. Even if we cannot win completely, we can at least defeat Timur and form a stalemate. The longer it takes, the better it is for us."

Qi Tai analyzed.

"This is still the most conservative guess. In fact, I am sure that His Majesty has defeated Tamerlane and is waiting for the news to arrive."

Everyone was analyzing things they could no longer decide.

Even so, officials discussed the matter.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the newspaper in his hand.

National Security.

We will focus on stability in all external affairs and go all out to support the Central Asian region.

Therefore, in the past year, Zhu Gaochi did not carry out reforms. Based on the previous order, Ming Dynasty generally maintained a peaceful and upward development. Zhu Gaochi did not participate in the disputes among ministers.

It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that I can only wait.

The newspapers were dissatisfied with the favorable treatment of foreign scholars, and Zhu Gaochi was not surprised.

The Ming Dynasty has such a large population, and there will be people with different opinions on everything. It is strange to have only one opinion.

The criticism in the Ming Dynasty newspapers was pretty good.

Some later Western scholars even shouted that the source of all civilization lies in China.

For example, they say that the various "ancient" Greek and Egyptian sciences that came out in the early modern period were parasitic on many Chinese documents, including the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing", just like Leonardo da Vinci's scientific and technological achievements were "parasitic on" "Agricultural Book".

same.

"Ancient Greek" philosophy comes directly from "ancient Egyptian" Logos and Hermetic wisdom, and indirectly from China.

In the process of communicating with the Jesuits in the Qing Dynasty, Dai Zhen, a thinker, had very clear evidence that the relevant Western methods were all derived from the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing". He found that the Jesuits were manipulating Chinese astronomy. They falsely claimed that Western "It has existed since ancient times." The Jesuits in China are the "sucking tube" of the Western history-making movement.

Dai Zhen also said that the Pythagorean theorem is the Pythagoras theorem, and they are exactly the same.

Such as technology.

Rawls said: "The Jesuits who went to China in the [-]th and [-]th centuries caused China's scientific achievements to pour into Europe."

In 1751, the Royal Academy of Sciences in London awarded Antoine Gaubil, a French Jesuit, an honorary member in recognition of the information he provided about Chinese science.

Orientalist August Gladisch proved: “Pythagoras’ theory did not originate from Egypt, but was taken from China.” He also said: “Pythagoras obtained the concept of reincarnation from China. "

In addition, it is said that the Greek myth of Hyperboreans (who lived in the northern paradise) is Chinese material.

Hagel's research shows that "ancient" Greek and Roman abacus were obtained by Pythagoras from China.

Pythagoras' theories either came directly from China or were Chinese knowledge circulated in Egypt.Pythagoras' famous saying "All the properties ascribe to number" was inspired by China.

Pythagoras' music theory (including the lyre and the seven-note scale) originated in China.

The so-called Greek Palamedes invented chess, which came from China. The "ancient" Greek and Roman astronomical zodiac and constellations are related to China.The temples in Plutarch are similar to those in China.

Hagel lamented: "So many plagiarisms from China! (Somany plagiarisms from China)"

Dr. Levitin said: "Greek astronomical works from Hipparchus to Ptolemy written by the English historian Waler Raleigh (1552-1618), "shows the relevant discussions in early English and explanations are integrated into the Chinese evidence.”

The reason is that "a large amount of Chinese knowledge has been handed down from ancient times, because it has not been affected by the chaotic language of the Tower of Babel in the Bible-interrupted and lost."what does that mean?
Is the "ancient Greek" astronomy that appeared in early modern times a copy of relevant Chinese knowledge?
In fact, Italian Renaissance scholars fabricated Greek philosophy and science based on "Chinese evidence."

And many Western scholars have also pointed out the reasons.

Jealous of France's "China craze" during the Enlightenment and its position as the cultural center of Europe, German nationalism turned its anger on China while fanatically building "ancient Greece."

This was the academic thrust of the German Romantic Movement from 1798 to 1830.

However, in the process of its ideological development, German Romanticism actually absorbed a large amount of ancient Chinese wisdom through the channel of Freemasonry.In this way, the emerging "Western classical culture" and "German classical philosophy" naturally contain many "Chinese elements."

The founders of the Masonic and Rosicrucian orders all regarded the four Buddhas, Confucius, Moses and Jesus as the Seed Masters.

The Rosicrucians venerate the ancient wisdom of China as the source of all knowledge.

The organization takes this sentence from Lao Tzu as one of its mottos, namely: "Those who were good at practicing Taoism in ancient times were subtle and profound, and could not be discerned."

The German monk Christian Rosenkreuz, who founded the Rosicrucian or Red Cross Order in 1402 after spending time studying Eastern mysticism, was most likely a fictional character.

Rosicrucian master Max Heindl (1865-1919) wrote in his article "Rosenkreuz and the Rosicrucian Sermon: Ancient Truth in Modern Clothing":
"There is a order to all things, and so is our evolution. Spirit and body go hand in hand. The sun gives natural light and is known to bring light and life from east to west, from one side of the earth to the other."

"The sun is visible light, and man is a small part of what is made of photosynthesis. Just as natural light promotes growth, there is an invisible spiritual sun, which promotes the growth of the soul, from one part of the earth to another. The movement of this spiritual impulse It is the same direction as the sun from east to west."

"In the 7th and 6th centuries BC, a new spiritual wave set off on the west coast of the Pacific and began to enlighten the Chinese nation; in this heavenly kingdom, Confucius' religion was embraced by thousands of people."

"We know that later this wave produced Buddhism, a teacher who touched the hearts and minds of millions of Indians and Chinese. The spirit continued westward. From this came the sublime Christianity."

No one can tell the truth of history.

After all, position is more important than anything else.

Just as the United States will definitely build a world system centered on the United States instead of a system of free competition, even if it has shouted the spirit of free trade and competition for hundreds of years, because that era was the most beneficial to it.

Zhu Gaochi knows very well that ancient Chinese civilization is not without merit.

in contrast.

Ancient Chinese civilization had great brilliance, but later the inheritance was interrupted, and it was overtaken by others in such a big way that it was necessary to abandon the knowledge system in hand and turn around and learn from other people's discoveries.

In Zhu Gaochi's eyes, he didn't feel any shame.

Poor dad, rich dad.

All dads.

You can't worship your father when he has money, and despise him when your father has no money.

What should be discussed is the father's strengths and weaknesses during his lifetime.

What you really need to learn is to keep your spirit strong.

"The critical spirit of this article is very good, but everything has its own limits. While pursuing your own glory, you must also maintain the momentum of learning. Even if you are a weak opponent, you must carefully understand their strengths and find out where you can learn."

Zhu Gaochi said.

Only when the ministers saw the newspaper in Zhu Gaochi's hand did they understand what the Crown Prince was referring to.

The West has made brilliant achievements in modern times, and there is undoubtedly something worth learning from. Zhu Gaochi said seriously: "People must remain humble, because only in this way can they not lose their mind."

"For foreign scholars, no matter whether their things are good or bad, the first thing is to understand them, discuss them, and then integrate them. Even if they are originally our things, what will happen to them when they are in the hands of others? Such changes, whatever advantages and knowledge there are, can all be learned.”

"Let the etiquette department prepare."

"I want to meet them"

Zhu Gaochi said.

"The minister waits for the order."

The ministers replied.
