I'm a big dick

Chapter 104 I Advocate Science

"My minister obeys the order." Xu Guangqi saluted and thanked him, paused, and played again: "Your Majesty, more than half of the gunpowder stored in Wang Gong Factory has been moved and stored in a scattered manner. Those allocated to various military towns will also start to be shipped one after another."

Wang Gongchang is the royal arsenal, also known as the Gunpowder Bureau. It is a place where gunpowder is specially made, and it is used by the Beijing camp to ban soldiers.

Considering that if a war occurs, the city will definitely be guarded behind closed doors, and gunpowder is an important combat material, so it is arranged inside the city instead of outside the city.

The gunpowder factory must be very dangerous. For the safety of the palace, it was arranged in a corner of the city, about three kilometers away from the palace.This is probably the safe distance identified at the time!

According to statistics, the daily production of gunpowder in Wanggong Factory is about two tons, and the regular reserve is about [-] tons.If there is no war, the consumption of gunpowder will be less, and the reserve will be more, even reaching two to three thousand tons.

Zhu Youxiao can't remember anything else, but the explosion at Wang Gong's factory can't be forgotten.It doesn't matter whether it's gunpowder touching sparks, or some other mysterious reason, just move away as soon as possible to be at ease.

One thousand tons, two or three thousand tons, right in the city, scared the baby to death.

Even if it is black gunpowder, how many marle seeds would it take? It makes one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

After hearing Xu Guangqi's report, Zhu Youxiao let go of his heart, explained a few more words, and ended the interview.

Seeing Xu Guangqi lead a few ghosts out of the hall, Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne and pursed his lips.

Scientists who don't want to be foreign teachers are not good missionaries, you should work hard for me!

As for Catholicism and Christianity, there is no need to fear them like tigers.At least compared with Buddhism and Taoism, it is not necessarily more useless, not to mention the advantage of natural science!

A strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake, and Zhu Youxiao believes that the foreign "God" can't beat the Chinese "God" in all likelihood.

God is us, black hair and yellow skin.

Besides, you can look at Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua and other Chinese people who have thrown themselves into the arms of God.No, they are still loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and their performance is much better than those civil officials who are full of benevolence and morality and denounce them as "heretics".

From another perspective, Xu Guangqi is not worshiping God, it might be better to say he is worshiping the truth.He believes that truth has no kingdom, and it can be used to "benefit Wanghua, control Confucianism, and save Buddhism."

Xu Guangqi once talked with Zhu Youxiao about his attitude towards these foreign friends, and believed that these foreigners had characteristics that Chinese Confucians did not have: they have expertise in learning and technology rejuvenates the country.

Zhu Youxiao also had to admit that these missionaries who came to China did not have the ugly images of the colonies in history.On the contrary, the gringos that Xu Guangqi knew were quite charismatic.

As for those who are worried about the invasion of foreign cultures, they insist that the technology of the dynasty is not backward, but scattered, and it is completely self-reliant and catching up.

Zhu Youxiao did not agree, because he saw and heard it, and it was an immersive experience.Instead of tapping the keyboard on the computer, look for evidence that the Ming Dynasty's technology is ahead of the world in the pile of old papers.

Standing still and working behind closed doors, insisting on creating a theoretical system of basic science to abandon the existing science, and seeing a few missionaries as scourges, it is a bit too worrying.

What else is there to criticize that "the king of Chu has a thin waist, and the palace starved to death". You, an emperor, advocates Western learning, is it not to bring down the social atmosphere and provide convenience for the cultural aggression of foreigners?
What I advocate is not Western learning, but science. If this is considered a problem, I will admit it.As for cultural aggression, it's still a matter of no shadow, because of this, you give up eating because of choking?
In fact, in the final analysis, forging iron depends on one's own strength, and it also depends on the governance of the country.

Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, they all perished due to the corruption of their own systems and the poverty of the people's lives.

As long as the country is strong, the people are rich, and the national pride is full, the long and excellent cultural traditions can be passed on forever.

Besides, I am the emperor, and I am "God".You can only pass it on if you are allowed to pass it on, and if you don't let you pass it on, you will be fucked!
I don't know the ban on religion by the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, but I will be more ruthless and sharper than them.

The spread of Western learning to the East and the exchange of Chinese and Western cultures.Zhu Youxiao's mind is full of these words now.

Although the impact of Western culture on traditional culture has advantages and disadvantages, he also has some concerns.

But he also knows that Chinese civilization and Chinese culture are not closed and closed, but should be inclusive and inclusive.

But in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao was disappointed to see those literati and bureaucrats stubbornly opposing all innovations and always using the ancestral system as an excuse.

Even when the military was continuously defeated by the Later Jin Dynasty, it firmly opposed the introduction of foreign technology to manufacture guns and artillery.He knew that the Confucian tradition had lost its magnanimous and open spirit.

I was eager to seek medical treatment, but you told me to reflect on my heart first; I needed all kinds of talents, but you said integrity was the first;

Losing the practical effect of managing the world and the ability to adapt to changes in time, there are only "professional ministers", "far-off villains", "chaste and law-abiding", "respecting the state system", and "punishing officials and evil". Such platitudes and empty slogans.

Under internal and external troubles, I have not yet had the courage and ability to overthrow and start over, so let's force internal reforms and concept renewal through external impacts!

I will let you know the "Law of the Jungle" about being soft and gentle; I will invite Darwin, the old demon of evolution, to tell you about the immutable law of the ancestors...

"My lord." Zhang Yu'er approached quietly, and reminded softly, "The ghost is gone!"

Zhu Youxiao looked up, and immediately understood the girl's thoughts, stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go, let's go and see the tribute from the ghost."

Zhang Yu'er immediately laughed happily, followed behind the emperor, and left the palace.

Speaking of these ghosts, they also understand Chinese etiquette and rules very well, and they didn't come here empty-handed.

There are as many as [-] tributes listed on the gift list, including telescopes, chime bells, octaves, globes, "Pictures of All Nations", Atlantic pianos, etc.

They are all European things, Zhang Yuer was curious about them, and wanted to take a closer look at them, and even wanted to know what these things are useful for.

Atlantic piano, I can still play such a song, for all the women in my spouse (for now four), sing a song "Love Me, Are You Afraid", "Don't Be Afraid", "Don't Be Afraid", "Don't Be Afraid, Don't Be Afraid" ", "What to be afraid of, nothing to be afraid of"...

Zhu Youxiao should be in a happy mood, except for the contribution of ghosts, he overthrew Li Sancai, but he won more than 400 million, and he can almost survive this year.

What the hell, it's easy for me to see the money back!
