I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 789 This is the University of Daming
Shu Youliang was stunned and continued to listen to Hai Rui.

"The homework with the correct answers took Daming a lot of effort and sacrificed many lives to find, so why should he let them copy it for no reason?
Non-my family, its heart must be different.

Europeans have their own civilization, and they are definitely not the descendants of the Xia and Shang dynasties. Let them figure it out on their own. If they find a blank slate, it is a blank slate; if they find a red center, it is a red center. "

Shu Youliang chuckled, "Yes, if they don't play the right cards, they won't be able to win for hundreds of years, so we can't be blamed."

Don't think that the master is a kind-hearted person just because he is the Lord.

When the master gets ruthless, he doesn't even spare himself and his family. How can those Western barbarians be compared with the people of the Ming Dynasty?

"Master, I heard from Marcelo and others that in the east of Europe, there are two countries whose people seem to be descendants of the Huns."

"real or fake?"

"I don't know either. We need to ask the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Observatory's Geographical Society to investigate this matter."

Hai Rui stroked his beard and said, "This year, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial Academy, and the Civilization Guidance Committee jointly selected a group of officials and scholars from the eastern region. In the second half of the year, they will take advantage of the wind season to take the clipper ship to Genzhou to help Xia and Shang states improve their official and ritual systems, so that the natives of Xia and Shang states can completely become the descendants of Xia and Shang who recognize their ancestors and return to their roots.

I would suggest that they also spare some manpower to investigate the matter you mentioned about the descendants of the Huns in Europe."

Shu Youliang smiled indifferently.

"Youliang, thank you for your hard work accompanying the Portuguese delegation this time."

"Master, that's what you said. It's hard work, but Huaiyuan Hall paid you."

Huaiyuan Hall was an institution established with the help of the Taichang Temple and the money of the Shaofujian, but it was registered under the name of the Honglu Temple. It was said to be a reformed Huaiyuan Posthouse of the former Tang Dynasty. Its actual responsibility was to spread the virtues, kindness and majesty of the Ming Dynasty to the world.
"That's a lot."

"Hehe, they have the support of the rich Shaofujian, and they are very generous. I accompanied Lao Ma, Lao Lai and their group. Not only were all expenses covered, but I also received a 25 yuan allowance every day. In four days, I was able to earn 100 yuan.

Master, the eldest young master has just settled down in Zhenyuan County, and his wife and children have moved with him; the second young master will marry and start a family in the second half of the year. They have just started making money, and they all need some money to tide them over. "

Hai Rui was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "Youliang, you've been worrying about the children."

"Master, look at what you said. I watched them grow up."

"The Emperor has talked to me about keeping me in the capital. I am also old. After this term, I will probably have to retire in the Constitutional Council. You don't have to follow me around anymore. You can stay in the capital and live a stable life from now on."

"Okay, it's good to stay in Beijing. But sir, let's not be too sure. With your temper, you said you want to stay in Beijing to work, but if something really happens, can you sit still?

Master, tell me, can you sit still?"

Hai Rui burst into laughter.

The two chatted for more than half an hour. Shu Youliang stood up to say goodbye. Just as he walked to the door, Hai Rui's voice sounded behind him.

"Youliang, you are 48 years old this year, right?"

"Yes, I am exactly one generation younger than you, Master."

"Forty-eight is not young anymore, take it easy."

Shu Youliang waved his hand. "It's okay. I'm just walking around. It won't hurt my legs or anything else."

"Foreign horses are new and attractive, but Youliang, can your body handle it?" Hai Rui asked jokingly.

Shu Youliang's dark face suddenly flashed red, and then disappeared into the black face.

His eyes bulged, he mumbled something, and he looked very excited.

"Master, you are a famous official, an old scholar who has read the Four Books and Five Classics, how can you say such nonsense?

What foreign horse?
He is a great painter of the Western Yi, a member of the Portuguese diplomatic corps. What do you think he is? What do you think I am?"

Hai Rui smiled without saying anything, allowing Shu Youliang to make his panicky excuses.

Shu Youliang talked for a while, and felt that what he said was just a cover-up, so he said angrily: "I can't tell you that."

Leave with a puff of sleeves.

The next morning, Shu Youliang rushed to the hotel and picked up Marcelo, Leon and his group.

He glanced at Sophnia secretly. This Western Yi woman looked ordinary and was not young, but her frank and straightforward personality was indeed different from others, like a fresh breeze that touched his heart.
Take the Line 2 horse carriage and arrive at Wenxi Pavilion on West Lake.

It is located at the east gate of the West Lake Scenic Area and is the center of several universities.

Shu Youliang led Marcelo and his party into Wanli University, which was like a huge garden.

There is a pond covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres, called Jingxin Lake, which, together with the surrounding lawns, woods and gardens, is the central park of Wanli University.

There are green forests everywhere, birds singing and flowers blooming. The teaching buildings, laboratory buildings, library and student dormitories are like small stones among the lush flowers and leaves, looming.

Most of the students were wearing short shirts and shorts and had short hair. A few wore long shirts and headscarves. They sat or stood in small pavilions on the lawn in groups of three or four, talking excitedly.

"The core of Commercial Law is equality and honesty, with contracts as its foundation and trust as its extension."

"The Litigation Law is a procedural law. It divides the cases heard by the Court into civil and criminal cases. Procedural justice is an important measure to ensure judicial fairness. It is equally important."

"But I think it is not as important as the Civil Code and the Criminal Code. It is just a side issue."

"Nonsense! Without a procedural law, the fairness of the entire litigation cannot be guaranteed. No matter how rigorously the Civil and Criminal Laws are formulated, if they are not effectively enforced and cannot ensure fairness, what is the point?"

"You are a heretic who only cares about procedures in litigation law!"

"You are a filial son and grandson who only knows how to memorize the law by rote!"

Shu Youliang pointed at the students arguing in the pavilion by the lake and said, "They should be from the School of Law and Politics. They are just talking nonsense."

Turning to a grassy area, a group of students were sitting on it.

"Survival of the fittest is the law of biological evolution in nature. The results of the surveys conducted by several expedition teams of the Geographical Society in the Andaman Islands, Yuanxu Island and Fuzhu Island all revealed this result."

"Ridiculous, too ridiculous. Everything is predetermined by heaven. How can it be a living thing's own choice?"

Which college is this from?
Shu Youliang spread his hands. I also found it very mysterious. I didn’t know which college he was from.

"Wanli's first law: if an object is not acted upon by a force or the net external force is zero, then the object will remain stationary or move in a straight line at a constant speed.

It actually confirms the Wanli Second Law, which states that the rate of change of an object’s momentum over time is proportional to the force applied.”

"Yes, the first law talks about inertia, and the second law talks about acceleration. They are both about the relationship between force and motion."

What did they say? It made me even more confused. Force and motion?

Why do we need to study force? And also its relationship with movement.

The two should be related.

The eldest and second son were disobedient, so I slapped them hard twice and they ran away immediately, which resulted in intense exercise.

This is the relationship between force and motion, which makes a lot of sense.

Marcelo and León looked at each other.

Leon asked cautiously: “Master Shu, what professional knowledge are they discussing.”

"It seems to be physics. We all call it metaphysics."

Shu Youliang led the group to the library. The empty reading area was filled with people, and the hundreds of bookshelves next door were filled with books.

It was very quiet inside.

Condorcet couldn't help coughing, and under the gaze of everyone, he forced himself to hold back the cough in his throat, his face turning red.

Everyone walked around carefully and came out to a small building next door. It was three stories high and had six large lecture halls, each of which could seat 200 people.

Everyone stood in a lecture hall on the first floor, looking inside through the huge glass windows.

I saw a gray-haired professor writing and drawing on a huge blackboard. It was full of incomprehensible symbols and what the Ming people called simplified numbers.

The professor wrote and explained: "Sequence limits are the basis of function limits, and function limits are the basis of calculus."

The students inside were leaning over their desks, listening attentively and taking notes quickly, each one of them eagerly.

People outside were listening to nonsense.

"Master Shu, do you know what they are teaching in there?"

"I am also confused by the symbols on this blackboard! They are so twisty and colorful, they look just like the talismans drawn by the purple-robed Taoist priests at Baiyun Temple.

As for what the old professor said, I understand the meaning of each word, but when they are put together I am confused!

Well, it should be mathematics. These are the mathematical operation symbols invented and formulated by the emperor. I know that symbol, the square root, the square root. I don’t know much about the rest.”

Marcelo was stunned. "Your Majesty the Emperor is also a mathematician?"

"It sounds so rare. Our emperor is a genius. He is not only a mathematician, but also a physicist. He knows a lot. The first and second laws of Wanli that we just heard were proposed by the emperor.

Let me put it this way, most of the knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanical manufacturing and other subjects taught in universities today was invented and organized by our emperor."

This is too incredible!

Is your emperor cheating?

Marcelo and Leon's Adam's apples moved up and down, but they couldn't utter a word for a long time.

I took a tour of Wanli University, and then went to Peking University and Longqing Normal University.

In addition to the difficult-to-understand heavenly books and metaphysics, there is a lot of humanistic atmosphere here.

Many students set up easels, drawing boards, and white paper on the lawn and garden, and created sketches or watercolor paintings with charcoal or watercolor pens.

Sophonia's eyes lit up, she picked up her clothes and rushed forward, like a butterfly, excitedly flying from here to there, there to here.

Everyone waited for her for more than half an hour, but in the end Marcelo forcibly took her away.

There are so many places, everyone needs to see them all and cannot stay in one place for too long.

Turning to a group of buildings, I heard various musical instruments coming from the houses.

There were sounds of stringed instruments, pipa, guqin, erhu; there were flutes, suona, trumpets, and other different instruments. Marcelo and others even heard the sound of the organ and viola.

The mournful sound came like the sobbing of a flute, like a complaint or a cry.

"What instrument is that?"

Sophnia's eyes lit up and she asked curiously.

Shu Youliang asked several students passing by and finally found out the answer.

"This is a pan flute brought over by the Xunzhou Inca people. Just like the bone pan flute from the pre-Zhou period, it plays their own tunes. Even though they have left their hometown thousands of miles away, they still miss it deep down."

Sophia said excitedly: "There is a strong artistic atmosphere here, and art from all over the world blends here. There is no religious restriction or prejudice, which is really rare.

What kind of academy is this?"

"This is the music and fine arts department of the Art College of Longqing Normal University."

Sophnia continued to ask excitedly: "Master Shu, are those operas also taught here? Those Kunqu Opera, Hui Opera, Qin Opera, Haiyan Opera, and Yuyao Opera that we have heard of."

Shu Youliang waved his hand, "Although we have been making progress, it is impossible to progress so quickly. No, there is no college teaching opera in the university."

"Why? These operas, like our operas, are also high art."

"You don't understand our history. Opera has a long history, dating back to the Han and Tang dynasties, but its status is very special, and the status of opera singers is also very special, and they didn't become popular so quickly."

"that's too regretful."

“What’s there to regret?

Previously, each opera was taught by its own troupe, and passed down from master to apprentice privately. Later, under the strong support of the Cultural Construction Committee, opera schools were established in various places, such as the Kunqu Opera School in Suzhou, the Hui Opera School in Nanjing, the Qin Opera School in Xi'an, the Haiyan Opera School in Shanghai, and the Yuyao Opera School in Hangzhou.

Recruit the teachers in the troupes, recruit disciples and teach them according to their roles. Just wait, one day, they will be able to enter the theater."

As everyone continued to tour the campus, Shu Youliang suddenly saw an acquaintance. His face suddenly became excited and he pounced on him like a wild dog that had broken free from its reins.

Marcelo and the others were very curious, who was this person, who could make the all-powerful and indifferent Shu Ye so excited. The expression on his face was full of piety!

Who!
