Chapter 179 Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui Ming's Early Day Trip
"Taizu, I also want to go to the early Ming Dynasty."
"Ask Taizu for your blessing." Wait for Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui to leave.
Emperor Jiajing knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang with a pop, his face full of anticipation.
"You can not!"
"You are an ordinary person now, and you must become a transcendent to enter the space passage to the main world.
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "By the way, we haven't asked you yet, aren't you a son of the plane in this world? Is there really nothing left except the imperial way to protect the dragon's energy?"
"Son of the plane?" Emperor Jiajing was stunned when he heard this.
"What does it mean?"
"I do not know!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him twice, and finally withdrew his gaze and said: "No matter what, you'd better not go now and stay with us honestly. Just don't worry, what we promised you before still works. Now the spiritual energy of the main world has reached the second level."
After recovery for the first time, there are more ways to extend your life, so there is no problem in ensuring that you live to be 200 years old."
"Okay, then I'll listen to Taizu!" Although Emperor Jiajing was a little unwilling, he knew Zhu Yuanzhang's character and Taizu had no patience with him. If he didn't have the eyesight to plead for mercy, I'm afraid he would be in trouble.
"Anyway, all I have to do is be sure and hold Taizu's thigh tightly." Emperor Jiajing thought firmly.
Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui once again set foot on the main world. They had actually been here before, especially Zhang Juzheng, who had been here two or three times due to work issues.
But every time I was in a hurry and didn't stay long.
And it has been two or three years since I last came.
Zhang Juzheng really didn't expect that just because he hadn't been here for two or three years, the city of Nanjing in the main world would undergo earth-shaking changes again.
Especially the road under their feet was flat, wide, and completely spotless. It felt cleaner than their home.
"Welcome to the two old gentlemen!"
Zhu Biao was already waiting here, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the two of them: "Two gentlemen, please get in the car. I have already booked a family dinner, and I will give you a break first." #br... ...

r#Due to his age, Zhu Biao is not only the prince now, but he was also named King of Wu by Zhu Yuanzhang seven years ago.
You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang was called King of Wu before he became emperor, so this throne was a very symbolic title in the Ming Empire.
Zhu Yuanzhang even expressed his willingness to give up the throne to Zhu Biao and abdicate himself.
However, Zhu Biao refused.
He has no interest in anything like the emperor.
It would be good to be the crown prince and the king of Wu now. Otherwise, when he becomes the emperor, if Lao Zhu lets him go,
He took his mother to travel around the mountains and rivers, and if he threw this huge Ming Dynasty to him, he would cry to death.
It's pretty good now.
"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty has asked us to come here this time to inspect the imperial examination system in the main plane. How about we talk about this matter first?" Hai Rui said.
He really cared about the tasks assigned to him by Zhu Yuanzhang.
This is especially true after learning about the effect of Zhenguo Jiuding.
He hopes that Ming Dynasty will be stronger than anyone else, so he is particularly impatient at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but glance at Zhang Juzheng next to him. Seeing that he was also interested, he nodded and said: "Okay, let's go directly to the school to have a look!"
Zhu Biao turned to look at the driver in front of him and said, "Go directly to the social science school closest to here!"
The car was speeding on the road. Zhang Juzheng looked curiously at the scenery on both sides of the road outside. Finally he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, what is this road paved with?"
"It doesn't look like the cement road you mentioned last time."
"This is asphalt!"
"It's a newly discovered material by the Academy of Sciences." Zhu Biao said with a smile.
"Didn't you say last time that the main world is getting bigger due to the revival of spiritual energy?"
"Wouldn't the roads become damaged in a few years if this happens?"
"But I see that your road is so exquisitely built. Wouldn't it cost a lot of effort?" Zhang Juzheng asked curiously.
"Indeed, although some special extraordinary minerals are added to this road to improve the extensibility, at most it is only...
Chapter 179 Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui’s one-day trip in the early Ming Dynasty (page 2/6), click the next page to continue reading.
It can be used for ten years."
"But it doesn't matter. If it breaks, just fix it!"
Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Hai Rui couldn't help but frown slightly.
He said directly: "Your Highness, isn't this a waste of time and money?"
"Haha, it doesn't count!"
"Because we have already completely abolished labor. Workers are recruited to build roads, and they are all given cash, so there is no such thing as working for the people. As for the loss of money... that is not to mention, the imperial treasury is very abundant.
We have a large amount of surplus cash in our hands, and we can use the work-for-relief method to get the money back into the hands of the people."
Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui suddenly couldn't help but think deeply.
They are all smart people, and their Confucianism and Taoism can improve their intelligence level to a certain extent. Naturally, they will soon understand what Zhu Biao means.
"Is the main world really that rich?"
"In order to win the food war with the gentry, His Majesty spent half a year mobilizing tens of thousands of kilograms of rice from us. Is there really so much food in the main world that we can't finish it all?" Hai Rui also said.
asked curiously.
"You can also say that!"
"The Academy of Sciences has already developed chemical fertilizers ten years ago. With this, food production has naturally begun to increase significantly."
"And the most important thing is improved seeds. The Academy of Sciences has artificially cultivated improved varieties of various crops in recent years, especially those that can increase yields in aura environments. There are already many improved varieties."
"To be honest, our current wheat yield per mu has reached 2,000 kilograms per mu, and the rice yield per mu is 1,500 kilograms."
"This is an improved variety that also takes into account taste. If it is just for filling our stomachs, our wheat can achieve a yield of five kilograms per mu."
"Hiss...!" Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui couldn't help but take a breath...
Such output is almost like a myth.
But then they thought about it, isn't the current main world just recovering spiritual energy?
It is said that there are even gods in the foreign lands outside the Ming Dynasty in the main world. In this way, five kilograms of wheat per acre is nothing! #b... ...

br# "Of course, it makes no sense to continue to increase the yield now. Our current research direction on wheat and rice is mainly focused on quality, and we want to develop several types of spiritual rice and wheat with good yields."
"If this project is successful, not only will the physical fitness of ordinary people be greatly improved, but the number of martial artists will also increase." Zhu Biao explained with a smile.
"This is the result of the dual superposition of spiritual energy recovery and scientific and technological revolution!"
"I hope that after the industrial revolution is completed in our world, like the main world, we can at least solve the problem of food and clothing for the people." Hai Rui sighed, full of expectations.
In today's Jiajing Dynasty, because the gentry have been completely subdued by Zhu Yuanzhang, the most important thing in the past two years has been transferred from political struggle to economic construction, or in other words, the industrial revolution with the assistance of the overworld.
This is part of the reason why Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui are able to understand these new things in the main world.
"Don't worry, it will definitely happen!" Zhu Biao couldn't help but think of his previous life when he heard Hai Rui's words.
Now the main world has completely changed beyond recognition due to the revival of spiritual energy, but the Jiajing plane is different. It still looks like the earth there, and there is no spiritual energy recovery there. It is possible that it will evolve into an environment he is familiar with in the future.
Zhu Biao still has a little expectation for this deep down in his heart.
Soon the nearest social science school arrived.
To Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui's surprise, the sociology in the main world was not what they imagined, a shabby house, an old scholar or even an old boy who had failed many times and led a group of children to study casually.
Author of Four Books and Five Classics.
The area here is huge.
And it can be clearly seen that this place is newly built from the inside out.
There is a clean and tidy cement pavement from the gate to the inside. As soon as you enter the yard, you can see a sun and moon war flag fluttering in the wind.
Such a scene arrangement gave Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui an indescribable strange feeling. Under the leadership of Zhu Biao, a group of three people soon appeared outside a class.
Through the window, you can see more than thirty eight...

A nine-year-old child is attending class.
A social studies gentleman in his fifties wrote two words on the blackboard, turned his head and said with a smile: "Everyone, this is the word I want to teach you to write today."
"nation!"
"Does anyone know the meaning of country?" the old gentleman asked.
Many children shook their heads in confusion.
The old gentleman smiled and said: "The word country is composed of two parts, one is country and the other is home."
"A country is actually a larger family, and countless large and small families make up our Ming Empire..."
"Everyone, students, must remember that we have a country first and then a family, so what should we do when we grow up?"
"Serve the country...!" the tender voices of the children rang out in unison.
When Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui heard this, they couldn't help but tremble in their eyes.
Confucian culture emphasizes the family, the country, and the world, and its core idea is that the family comes first and then the country, but now the education here has reversed it.
This obviously deviates from their understanding of Confucianism and Taoism.
And this is not what shocked them the most, what shocked them the most was these children.
What shocked them the most was the childish voice that was immature but uniform.
"Perhaps this is called enlightenment!" After coming out of social studies, Zhang Juzheng finally recovered from his shock. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Highness, I think the writing you teach is much simpler than the original writing of Ming Dynasty. This
Has it been changed?"
"That's right!"
"The previous characters were too complicated. Without popularization, we wanted children to be able to read and learn from an early age, so we simplified the characters as much as possible," Zhu Biao said.
"This proposal is so right."
"I think this can be extended to our side!" Zhang Juzheng said.
"Your Highness, one more thing, I see that you divide the students you recruit into classes according to their age?"
"And it's also marked as first grade, second grade, etc. What does this mean?" Hai Rui asked next to him.
"Since we want to popularize education, we...
Chapter 179 Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui’s one-day trip in the early Ming Dynasty (page 5/6), click the next page to continue reading.
Then we can’t use the old methods anymore!”
"This is primary education. There are five grades in total. Now in the main plane, all children at the age of eight are forced to enter the social school, study for five years, and then advance to the county school for three years."
"These eight years are what we call compulsory education. The state fully bears the tuition fees and teaches for free."
"If you go further, you will need to take an exam. Only those who pass the exam can continue to study."
"In the end, wouldn't there be a group of students taking part in the imperial examination every year?" Hai Rui keenly discovered the most important point.
You must know that normally, the imperial examination is held once every three years.
"yes?"
"Otherwise, how could you think we would have so many scholars sent to you to take up various jobs?"
Zhu Biao explained with a smile.
This education reform has been going on for more than ten years.
Zhu Biao came up with it by referring to the education system in his memory. Now there are two batches of students who have been taught by the new model and have been assigned to their respective jobs.
The abilities it demonstrates can be said to be quite outstanding.
This also shows that this education system is suitable for today's Ming Dynasty.
Seeing Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui both frowning and looking deep in thought, Zhu Biao said: "Let's go, you've finished reading the social studies. I'll take you to see the county school, the government school, and the highest level Imperial College."
…….”
In fact, this is just a name change, which corresponds to the elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university in the previous life.
Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, and both nodded.
They are now really interested in this teaching model in the main world, and they have a vague feeling that this system may really be much better than the imperial examination system currently implemented in their plane.
