Chapter 89: A turtle that cannot escape
"My son is very smart."
This is what Yun Zhao said about Yun Zhang.
The reason why the crown prince is the crown prince, first of all, he must have a father who is an emperor, or other elders, otherwise this is not possible.
The prerequisite for becoming a crown prince is not necessarily a person who is wise, wise, and powerful. It is very likely that a person who is lustful, ignorant and incompetent will become the crown prince.
Think about it, if all choices were made according to the first one, so many dynasties would not have perished.
Therefore, who will be the crown prince is a very personal matter and a private matter for the emperor.
It's very pitiful. Every emperor is unwilling to have such a thing happen, but the more the emperor cares about it, the greater the possibility of such an incident happening.
A prince who was promoted to the position of crown prince by his ministers is a very pitiful prince. Yun Zhang seems to understand this very well. Therefore, this guy would rather talk to the granddaughter of Mr. Ge Chunhui. Love, use this method to win over Yushan Academy, and don't want to be pushed to the position of crown prince by these people.
Overall, Yun Zhang did a good job and knew his priorities well.
Then, Yun Zhao issued an order to scold Hong Chengchou, who was born in Annan, and then ordered him to hand over the power of governor of Annan to Yun Xiao, return to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty that day, and take office as deputy prime minister.
Yun Zhang is still young, so it is impossible for him to be so experienced in handling things, let alone to do things smoothly and without leakage.
After Yun Zhao knew the cause and effect of the incident, he immediately punished Hong Chengchou.
Governor Annan became the Deputy Prime Minister. He seemed to have been promoted one level. However, most of his authority was stripped away because Yun Zhao had already prepared the positions of at least ten Deputy Prime Ministers waiting to be placed. The heroes who returned to Beijing.
No matter how great the power of the deputy prime minister is, after it is divided into ten parts, there will be nothing left.
Now that things have happened, Yun Zhao is no longer worried about the development of the national economy and people's livelihood. The policies and principles have been determined, and the rest will be left to the hardworking people of Ming Dynasty, who will handle their own life problems. .
Looking around the world, the Ming Empire is undoubtedly the most open, freest, most disciplined country with the most development potential. In the next twenty years, Yun Zhao believes that this old and new country will , will definitely become a new and wealthy country.
Nowadays, scholars in Ming Dynasty are trapped by the problem of a turtle.
This damn turtle came from Rome, the missionaries brought it.
They want to find someone in Ming Dynasty who can really outperform this turtle in a philosophical or physical sense.
This is a magical turtle. Logically speaking, basically no one can outrun this turtle. However, as long as a person with intact legs can catch up with this turtle, And transcend it.
This makes reason and reality contradict each other. This is also the first challenge that European scholars raised to Ming Dynasty, which was to use reason to explain and prove that this turtle can be surpassed.
The Romans' principle is very simple. First let the tortoise run a hundred meters, and then find a person to chase it. The tortoise runs very slowly, and people run very fast. However, from a logical point of view, A man can never surpass a tortoise.
They believe that since there is a starting point, as long as the tortoise is moving, there will be countless starting points. When a person chases a hundred meters, the tortoise runs forward another ten meters. When it reached the ten-meter position, the turtle ran forward another meter... By analogy, no matter how fast the person ran or how slow the turtle ran, the turtle would always create one starting point after another, even if the person and the turtle ran No matter how small the distance is, it always exists, which proves that the turtle is insurmountable.
When this problem was known to Yun Zhao, he was very happy. He took out 100,000 silver dollars and told the Ming scholars that whoever solved the problem completely would have 100,000 silver dollars. Things were ignored.
Because, he discovered that the two great questions of differential calculus and integral calculus were about to come to Ming Dynasty, because if you want to explain this problem, you must use the limit theory in differential calculus, and Differential calculus and integral calculus are two complementary theories, and they are collectively called calculus.
Yun Zhao knew that the ancestors of calculus were Newton and Leibniz. However, these two were masters of elementary calculus, and it was not until the 19th century that calculus was truly perfected.
If Ming scholars want to solve this problem, they must enter into this theory.
Because Mr. Newton is just five years old this year.
Herr Leibniz was just two years old.
Obviously, there is nothing ready-made for anyone to learn from in order to solve this problem.
Yun Zhao even believed that the reason why the Roman monk brought this issue to the Ming Dynasty was probably because people in Europe had already begun to enter this field.
Yun Zhao has naturally learned calculus...but now he only knows some basic knowledge of calculus. As for learning and applying calculus, Yun Zhao feels that it is too difficult for him.
After all, when he took calculus, it was entirely because of the professor’s pity for him.
Decades later, he can still remember the three words calculus. It is entirely because of the three words fear that his memory is so profound.
One hundred thousand silver coins can arouse the entire Ming Dynasty's interest in arithmetic and physics. Yun Zhao thinks it is worth it.
At least, even Feng Ying and Qian Duoduo have begun to study turtles.
"Mr., what does this mean?"
Qian Duoduo looked at the turtle pacing slowly on the window sill and asked Yun Zhao in confusion.
“When the truth does not match the reality, it means that there must be a reasonable truth in the middle, but we have not discovered this truth. People need to study and create it.. ”
“What is the truth?
Yun Zhao shrugged his shoulders and said: "When I was studying at Yushan Academy, you were better at arithmetic than I was, so it was difficult for me to ask you."
Qian Duoduo frowned and said: "This damn Roman monk dares to humiliate Ming Dynasty. He should be quartered!"
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "In the future, more turtles of this kind will crawl to the Ming Dynasty. We can't cut into pieces the scholars who sent the turtles over, right?" Da Ming needs these questions to stimulate him, so as not to always be arrogant and think that he is the most powerful person. "
"What if the answer can't be found? Just let people laugh at you? "
"If you can't answer it, you deserve to be laughed at. These 100,000 silver coins will be given to the Roman monk named Angeliman. ”
“If someone gets the money and causes countless problems like this, how should Your Majesty deal with it? "
Yun Zhao smiled silently and said: "I am a very reasonable emperor. As long as people come to the Ming Dynasty with knowledge, as long as they can ask profound questions, I will Even if it is used as trousers, I will give others the rewards they deserve. "
"Husband, aren't you afraid of undermining the confidence of your subjects? ”
“There is no falsehood in learning. If you can, you can. If you don’t achieve, you can’t. When it’s time to ask others to be your teachers, you must learn to salute. When it’s time to listen to others’ teachings, you must sit down.” listen.
Destroy the confidence of the subjects?
It just so happens that the people of Ming Dynasty have developed the habit of being arrogant over the years. Even Confucius said that when three people walk together, there must be one teacher. It is time to be humble and look at the knowledge outside. ”
“Don’t you, my husband, dislike Europeans and always say that they are a group of savages living in cesspools?” But why are you so courteous to these people? I remember that at the beginning of the feudal period, you set up a special channel for missionaries to enter the Ming Dynasty.
They are also allowed to use the services of the post for free. Why is this? "
Yun Zhao said calmly: "There are always some guys in clothes among the savages. What I want is this group of guys in clothes. I like the unrealistic ideas in their heads, and Be willing to pay and support their unrealistic ideas.
If they are willing to come to Ming Dynasty, I am even willing to give them certain official positions and invite them to enter various universities to serve as professors. Now, our people do not have a strong sense of presence in Europe, and they are not willing to come. . "
Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up and he chuckled: "Husband, since they don't want to come, why not..."
Yun Zhao couldn't help but beat him after hearing what Qian Duoduo said. One trembled: "No, we can't use kidnapping. This kind of thing can only be done purely with sincerity to impress people.
Qian Duoduo grabbed the turtle running around on the window sill and threw it out of the window. He patted his tall chest and said, "Husband, leave this matter to me. I must have a way to invite these people." Ming Dynastyof residence. ”
“Is the plan coming out? ”
“It’s not difficult. I just need to tell the European merchants who do business with our family.” "
"What are you going to do? "
"As long as these European businessmen are given certain discounts, those intellectuals are just some nerds. As long as those businessmen are willing to work hard, I think, whether it is frame-up, persecution, or frame-up, frame-up , there’s always a way for the nerds out there.
As long as they have no way to stay in Europe, then tell them that in the far east, there is a young and wise emperor who values them scholars the most and is willing to provide them with the best life and conditions for learning. .
I thought that this matter was basically done, but I was afraid that I would make my husband angry by getting too much.
Yun Zhao looked at Qian Duoduo and said: "You can't hurt them. I don't care what means you use. You must not hurt them. I just want to give them a comfortable opportunity to study knowledge. No." Want to kill them. "
"You don't care about the identities of those people? ”
“Having a university education is their greatest identity. "
"I understand. ”
Yun Zhao looked at Qian Duoduo suspiciously, wondering if she really understood. However, Yun Zhao was really too greedy for the emerging scientists in Europe.
p>At this time, Europe was in constant war and was not a good place for learning.
Yun Zhao felt that if he could invite these people to the Ming Dynasty, it would be a contribution to the development of world civilization. Made the most outstanding contribution
Of course, it must be beneficial to Ming Dynasty first!
