Over time, it became a habit for many officials in the court.
Listening to lectures is interesting and not tiring, so just treat it as fun.
We were served delicious food and drinks at Dongjiao University.
There are always some eye-opening little tricks in physics and chemistry classes.
At the end of the get out of class, the teacher personally invited the officials to the stage to explain some rubbish questions that the students in the class were too lazy to even look at.
After finishing the topic, the officials were very proud and their faces were red. They walked down the podium with their hands behind their backs and their big bellies bulging amid warm applause...
After all this, no matter whether one thinks highly of Dongjiao University or not, at least one’s perception of it has begun to be affected in an invisible way.
From initial disdain to gradual in-depth understanding unconsciously... too many people are beginning to realize the knowledge involved.
It turns out that the power contained in this seemingly insignificant "craftsman" knowledge is extremely terrifying.
Especially after Dongjiao University disclosed to officials the design drawings of semi-finished mining equipment based on the transformation of steam engines, this craze was pushed to a new peak.
The stock exchange in the capital is still booming, and many newly listed stocks that are soaring in value are based on the coal business generated by railways and iron smelting.
And these big businesses are 100% backed by the background of big families in officialdom.
With the help of steam engine equipment, a lot of manpower can be saved, and the family can stand out in the market competition. By increasing profits through exchanges, the family can be promoted to the top ranks in one fell swoop!
At present, Dongjiao University has opened the semi-finished design drawings to all officials, which means that whoever completes it first will be able to reap the extremely rich fruits of victory!
Therefore, many officials worked hard to improve their own postures, and also ordered their families to arrange for people to enter Dongjiao University, and arranged assessments to urge them to study scientific knowledge hard....
It’s just that most of these people have serious academic bias, only focusing on physics and mathematics.
Not only in Dongjiao University, but also outside the school, Fang Zhengyi also completed a large number of detailed tasks.
We have specially organized a team to summarize the papers published on the market, and compile them into a book using illustrations and text in an easy-to-understand and interesting way.
Jinyiwei was also arranged to go to the palace, the six ministries, and various government offices in Beijing. Small bookshelves and oil lamps were installed in the toilets, and periodicals were regularly placed in them....
The officialdom in Beijing had been immersed in this kind of environment for a long time and had changed a lot unconsciously, which brought about two results.
Firstly, it seemed that many of his colleagues spoke more directly, without so many riddles. From a mental point of view, Fang Zhengyi was able to communicate with them more smoothly.
In addition, more and more people are suffering from hemorrhoids...
Finally, two months ago, Fang Zheng revealed his true colors and submitted a memorial to the court to propose the establishment of a scientific advisory body.
As expected, few people opposed it, but not many supported it either.
Fang Zhengyi also understood that it was not a trivial matter after all, and the court still had to discuss it secretly. However, there seemed to be no major problems at the moment, and they only had to wait for His Majesty's imperial approval.
After hearing this, Paba was amazed: "Brother Fang is so talented...you really have good intentions."
Fang Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "Master, to be honest, I am sometimes very tired. Although I have changed some customs in the center of Dajing, the concepts of the world have not changed much. I don't have any other great wishes in this life. I just hope to open up a new path for common people to advance in addition to the imperial examination."
Pa Ba said solemnly: "This is no small matter! It is a new path outside the imperial examination. If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement! But I believe that Brother Fang can accomplish it with his talent."
"Master, this is all I can tell you. What I can help you with is teaching you a group of students who can contribute to the future development of the Kingdom of Jin. As for the rest... there is nothing I can do to help you." Fang Zheng said, "In fact, it is much easier for you to do these things than for me."
"To be frank, your country has been defeated in the war, and I, Dajing, am the imaginary enemy. I heard that you are quite united internally, and since you are the sole ruler, there won't be much resistance to the reform. It's different for me. Traditional education discriminates too much against the knowledge of craftsmen, but there is nothing I can do about it. I can only take it slowly."
After hearing this, Paba stood up and bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng. He said solemnly, "I expected that there would be gains from today's trip, but I didn't expect Brother Fang to be so frank. I am really ashamed."
Fang Zheng stood up and raised his hand, saying, "Master, putting aside the fact that you and I are friends, in my eyes, the people of Jin are no different from the people of Dajing. They should live a better life... Besides, I am not without selfish motives."
"Oh?" Paba was puzzled.
"Didn't I tell you? Due to the world's concepts, it is not easy to promote the knowledge of Dongjiao University. It is far from enough now. Dajing is the birthplace of science, but this knowledge may be lost in history at any time. If you learn it and develop it well, the resistance to its promotion here will be smaller."
Fang Zheng put his hands behind his back and sighed, "If there is no law at home and no rules for the people, and if there is no enemy outside and foreign enemies, the country will always perish. Competition is the driving force."
Paba clapped his hands and praised: "Well said! Brother Fang's mind is far greater than mine!"
"It is indeed worthwhile to come here today. I will not bother you any more. I will be returning to Dajin in two days. I will select some people and send them to you by then."
"Haha, great! I'll take you there."
The two walked out of the hall side by side, and Paba was already smiling.
Fang Zheng glanced at him and asked, "What is the Imperial Master laughing at?"
Paba smiled and said, "I was thinking...if you had stayed in the Great Jin, you might have been a good emperor."
