After returning from the palace, Cui Xie plunged headlong into the secret vault.
He had already read almost all of the information on the Religious Canon in the last revision, and it was very convenient to write it down in his mind. He mingled with Master Xu, and wrote three to five hundred words in a day, and the rest of the time was spent on historical materials.
Historical materials of tribute from foreign countries, historical materials of foreign literature and science, historical materials of foreigners who traveled thousands of miles to China to study and become officials... More importantly, historical materials of grain, livestock, melons, fruits and vegetables introduced into China in all dynasties.
Although it was impulsive to persuade the emperor to order imported talents, books and good seeds in the Wenhua Palace before, in retrospect, he did not regret it.
This is the merit of the present and the benefit of the future. No matter how many people impeach him, they must do what should be done. Others may be afraid of impeachment by officials and dare not do things. What is he afraid of? He relies on the elders of the patriarch and the father of the state, and also befriends the eunuch Gao in the palace. The object is also a matter of Jin Yiwei. If he is not a loyal minister, he will be Liu Mian's second.
How can a temporary name be as important as changing the bloody history hundreds of years later!
He was so busy that he started to turn around, and he wished he could not go home until it was dark at night. When he got home, he had to discuss with Xie Ying how to make China take advantage of the rise in this era of great seafaring, and fundamentally cut off the history of humiliation in the future. Xie Ying did not know which prince or eunuch he had learned from the previous experience of the three-guarantee eunuch going to the Western Ocean, and told him about the countries that the fleet of treasure ships had visited and the scenery they had seen.
He said with a little hope: "Going to the West is too far, I'm afraid I don't have the opportunity, and I'm not willing to go so long. It would be nice if I could go to Japan to be a forerunner, even if I can only record the wind direction, ocean currents, and wait. It would be good for future generations to take what I wrote down and conquer the country."
Cui Xie was afraid that he would have an accident, but he could quite understand his desire to conquer the East—he wanted to go too. After thinking about it for a long time, I can only say: "If you want to go, I have to go too. Xie Zhenfu is going to sea, how can it be without Cui Hanlin as an interpreter?"
Anyway, he still has a few folders of ancient Japan and Warring States Japan in his hard drive, and then he goes to the Siyi Museum to ask for a private teacher. If you study hard, you may not be able to learn it, right
Xie Ying never thought of making Cui Xie suffer the risks and hardships of going out to sea, but seeing that Cui Xie was so reluctant to bear him, he hugged the big baby and coaxed: "Then we will settle the Japanese country, and their country lord will accept the request. When the landing, please ask Cui Hanlin to cross the sea to send the letter of credentials, and ask them on behalf of the emperor?"
not good. It would be better for the two of them to go out to sea together by boat and participate in this expedition.
Cui Xie buried his face in his arms, took a heavy bite, and muttered, "I think it's the best in the comics, how can Cui Hanlin be separated from Xie Zhenfu?"
Xie Ying felt a sudden pain, and almost reflexively pushed him away, he moved manually, but his heart responded again, he hurriedly changed the push to push, hugged him a little tighter, and sighed: "Forget it, we'll talk about it later. I can't bear to part with you now."
So busy working on state affairs day and night, Cui Xie was so busy that he didn't even touch the ground, and he didn't even have time to see the newly talented Wang Shouren. In the end, Big Brother Li personally pulled him out of the secret vault and asked him solemnly, "What did you say to the sage in Wenhua Hall that day?"
After he persuaded the emperor to seek virtuous and exotic things that day, the emperor Hongzhi pondered for a few days and felt that he had some truth in what he said. He told the three patriarchs about this during the Noon Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty banned the sea from the Yongle period. After the orthodoxy, even the imperial court no longer sent fleets to sea, and no one in the court dared to mention maritime affairs. As soon as the three heard this suggestion, they felt that the stakeholders of the wealthy coastal households were intervening in it, and they asked who said it. As a result, the emperor spat out the name and smashed the old man Li Ge heavily.
How is his disciple
Why is his disciple from Qian'an, whose family has nothing to do with Baganzi on the southeast coast
It seems... he has something to do with the sea too. Isn't he obsessed with the comic strips of Jinyi Weiping and Japanese these days? He also said that Japan was disrespectful to Daming, and wanted to find someone to measure the hydrology and meteorology, and find an opportunity to attack its country...
This called for talent and the book you want, if you think about it, it really seems to be related to Ping Japanese. This idiot who doesn't know how to draw comics is fascinated by it. He wants to push the emperor to build a fleet and a navy, and step by step, he wants to attack Japan!
Old Li Ge was thinking about his disciple in a complicated way, and Xu Pu and Liu Jian also stared at him with unpredictable expressions.
When he asked for help for his disciples and asked someone to paint "The Pipa Story of Wang Yaoniang" in the Hanlin Academy, both Xu and Liu were still reading and teaching bachelors, and of course they knew how he drew people.
These two have serious temperaments and did not join the team of writers, but for several years they have watched "Jin Yiwei" start a prairie fire in the Hanlin Academy with their own eyes, and listened to the part-time writers from simply writing about the cases handled by Jin Yiwei. , to discuss what kind of fleet can break through the sea storms and pacify Japan...
Cui Xie asked the emperor to issue an edict to seek overseas talents, is it really not to prepare for peace
He has this idea, is it really not taught by the teacher
After the Xiaochao, the two elders forced Li Dongyang to hold him back and asked him if he had any intention of going out to sea to attack the Japanese.
Teacher Li is aggrieved.
Mr. Li never thought of raising a million troops to pacify the Japanese country. When Cui Xie told him about his ideals, he also advised Cui Xie not to worry and wait until he became the first assistant. The matter of remonstrance was done by this disciple on his own initiative, so who can be blamed
Of course the teacher is to blame.
Daming's identity as a teacher and student is like a father and son. Whatever the disciple does outside, the teacher has to take some responsibility.
Teacher Li was worried that Cui Xie would be impulsive and get on the cusp of destroying Japan, so he came to him personally and asked him if he was preparing for the invasion of Japan.
Cui Xie said "Huh?" in surprise.
He is preparing for the globalization of the Ming Dynasty and catching up with the first industrial revolution. Could it be that the emperor passed the wrong message when discussing with the cabinet, and caused some misunderstanding
He quickly explained: "Teacher has misunderstood! How dare the disciples behave in disrespect to the teacher, and privately persuade the emperor to send troops to attack Japan? That day, it was because His Majesty called me to ask about the new farming methods, and even brought soybean flowers to watch, and asked me how to get the law of heaven. I have two ways of looking at all things in detail and expanding my knowledge. The only way is to seek exotic seeds, which Your Majesty never asked. I saw His Majesty's intentions in farming and wanting to make the people of the Ming Dynasty have food and clothing, so I added it myself."
Teacher Li snorted coldly: "When did you get a good idea, why didn't you write an article? Tell me the truth, are you looking for talents who understand naval warfare and books about building ships? The so-called exotic breeds are not really good breeds under the name, but in fact they want people to get gifts, Japanese swords, gold and silver mines?"
Not really. He didn't think about it so much at that time, but Mr. Li was thoughtful.
Cui Xie also did not dare to praise the teacher, for fear of making the teacher too anxious, so he honestly explained the materials he had read these days. There is the Tianzhu calendar brought by the Buddha's capital into China, the various algorithms brought by the Semu people used in the Yuan Dynasty, the list of the barbarians who have held official positions in China since the Han Dynasty, and the food imported from foreign countries.
Mathematical knowledge Teacher Li is not too concerned, but Cui Xie listed watermelon, cucumber, eggplant, lentils, taro, radish, garlic, spinach on the paper, and he immediately understood what Cui Xie was thinking. The intention of introducing foreign breeds.
So many delicious foods were introduced from foreign countries. If you want to come to the countries, there will be more food, vegetables and fruits, and even some things with extremely high yields, which can save the times. If you can find a good seed and spread it among the people... it's not a bad thing.
Cui Xie said sincerely: "This method of my disciple does not require building a ship to go out to sea, nor does it involve the major issue of opening the sea ban. Since it is beneficial to the country and not harmful, the disciple must go to the sea."
While he was writing about locust eradication, he also wrote a memorial for inviting Zhaocai, asking for books, and searching for better seeds. Because the last imperial prelude was right, let him know that Emperor Hongzhi likes to read dry goods and pictures, so he did not deliberately delete the data, just to keep these bright advantages for people to see clearly.
Li Xueshi saw his disciple's memorial in the pavilion, so he took it out and showed it to Xu Liu Er, and said, "This is also an article with a heart for the country, and the two scholars will take a closer look."
The two scholars read it carefully, and saw that there was nothing in it that violated the Great Ming Ancestor system or wasting money in the national treasury. There was only a desire to study the principles of heaven and save the people.
The cabinet did not block it any more, and the emperor followed his heart.
Cui Hezhong had been away from Beijing for five years, and as soon as he came back, he persuaded the emperor to issue an edict to ask for foreign handsome figures and books of knowledge, which immediately caused a heated discussion in Beijing—
There are so many talented people in China, and if they are selected as jinshi, they may not be able to be ranked for the official position. Only one-third of the new jinshi can be candidates in Beijing, and the remaining two-thirds have to go back to their hometowns to depend on relatives. Neo-Confucianism is the authentic knowledge. It is enough for the emperor to listen to the lectures of the masters of Neo-Confucianism every day.
Unfortunately, when the emperor issued the decree, he used the internal money to offer a reward. The Ministry of Households and the Supreme Court did not come out to object, and the discussions of these petty officials and scholars were even more useless. However, there were also a few newly entered imperial scholars who were very lucky to have the opportunity to witness and persuade themselves to submit this memorial, which made the emperor abandon the domestic scholar's classics and turn to foreigners.
Only ten days after the edict was issued, Li Mengyang, Bian Gong, and Wang Jiusi all received a post from the imperial guard about Cui Xie, and they made an appointment with Wang Shouren to go to the Cui Mansion.
These are all high-spirited young scholars. Bian Gong is the youngest, only twenty-two; Wang Shouren is about the same age as Li Mengyang, at twenty-six or seven; the oldest is Wang Jiusi, who is already in his thirties. Most men in the Ming Dynasty didn't grow beards when they were young, and they didn't grow until they were thirty years old. Except for Wang Jiusi, who had a short mustache, they were all white-faced scholars who did not show their age.
So young and handsome, with outstanding talent, naturally he has enough capital to look down on his peers.
However, these prides have to be discounted in front of Cui Xie.
Because Cui Xie is the champion, he still has two grades in the proficiency test and the palace test. When it comes to the results of the scientific examination, except for Wang Shouren, who is the champion in the sixth year of Hongzhi, he has to bow his head in front of him. Moreover, this Cui Zhuangyuan was in the 23rd year of Chenghua's mid-term test. Although he was only 29 years old, he was not as old as Wang Jiusi. He entered the dynasty six to nine years earlier than them, so he was considered a very qualified senior.
Not only that, but this senior was born with a gentle, suave, elegant, demeanor and demeanor better than them.
Although the three young officials and Shuji came with a bit of scrutiny in mind, after seeing the master, they still felt a little calmer.
Cui Xie’s attitude towards them was equally gentle and comforting, and he invited them to sit down in the hall, and asked someone to bring refreshments.
Although he treats guests at home, he still uses the same family members. All meals are ordered and bought from outside, which saves the trouble of cooking.
The tea is the jasmine tea of the Qingcha shop, and the desserts are also the rice cakes, steamed double-skin milk, and nut-filled pastries sold by those shops. Li Mengyang felt cordial after taking a sip, and asked, "The taste of this tea snack is the same as the one from the Qingcha shop outside the door. I don't want adults to like it too?"
Cui Xie said with a smile: "There are few people in the family, making it more troublesome to cook and eat. There is such a shop right next to the street, so I asked people to buy from there. Don't mind my brothers."
Although the four of them were divided into three yamen, Taichang Temple, Household Department, and Hanlin Academy, there was a small tea shop at the entrance. These refreshments are of good quality and low price, they are all used to eating, and there is nothing to be picky about. Instead, they feel that Cui Xie is so incorruptible, which is the attitude they should have.
But why did he persuade the Holy One to get close to the characters and doctrines of small foreign nations
Li Mengyang couldn't help but ask: "I've heard that, recently, the imperial court issued an edict to solicit overseas talents and classics, but it was Lord Cui who persuaded the sage?"
Uh-huh? Aren't these guys here to write comic scripts
Cui Xie couldn't help but glance at Wang Shouren. Wang Shouren looked back at him a little, and nodded at him with confidence.
Although they didn't write the original picture, but as long as they sat in front of Cui Xie for a while, Wang Shengren believed that even the Iron Stone man could make him turn around.
