Xiao Chu looked at the large clock.
I was immediately unable to walk.
I really want to open it up and see what's inside.
He even studied Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination).
They have no resistance to such ingenious machines.
The group walked to the foot of the clock tower.
Many scholars gathered here.
These are all test takers who have only arrived in Tokyo in the last few days.
The candidates looked up at the clock.
Pointing and commenting from time to time,
His face showed considerable excitement.
Tokyo residents have long been accustomed to this.
Walked past there with my head held high and chest out.
They treated scholars from other places as country bumpkins.
What about Yangzhou and Hangzhou?
Once you leave Bianliang,
Even the most prosperous places belong to the countryside!
Xiao Chu sighed, "The movable type printing technology of the Nanchang booksellers..."
"I've heard that this is an improvement made by the current emperor."
"I suppose this large clock is one of them,"
"Your Majesty is a man of extraordinary talent."
"Your Majesty has led the army to secure the realm,"
"I will not let playthings distract me from my studies,"
"Our Great Ming Dynasty had two sage rulers from its very founding."
This old gentleman is a follower of the Wang faction.
Or rather, the Imperial Way faction.
Their ultimate ideal was to assist a wise ruler in creating a prosperous era.
As long as they are not too incompetent
Even if he isn't a sage ruler, he will still help him become one.
That is, to shape the emperor into one's own form!
This change was not intended to advise the emperor to be benevolent and frugal.
Those were things that Xiao Chu considered insignificant.
Only bookish pedants would cling to this idea.
.....
There were several sets of books in the guest room.
This is newly purchased.
There are several versions of "The Way of Strategies".
The versions of Zhao Yuan have been changing.
Continuously add new content.
Chen Yuan returned to Nan Jianzhou to teach his students.
It is also constantly being revised.
Tokyo version and Shaxian version,
Half of the chapters differ greatly.
There is also a censored revised version.
In order to spread it in Tokyo at that time,
Much sensitive content has been deliberately omitted.
As Zhao Yuan's "Memorial on Governance" gained widespread fame,
The censored version was also listed as a banned book.
On the contrary, it is the one that has spread the most widely.
At this moment, Xiao Chu held in his hand the "Strategies of Using the Way".
This is the standard edition officially printed by the Ming Dynasty this year.
This book is not part of the imperial examination reading list.
But some of the chapters,
It was singled out and used as a textbook for the imperial examinations.
For example, content related to mathematics and physics.
After Xiao Chu achieved great success in his studies,
I will no longer seek to understand the depth of any books I read.
Only understand the core ideas of this book.
Therefore, he reads very quickly.
He finished reading the theoretical chapters of "The Application of the Way" in a quarter of an hour and said to his disciple Hu Quan,
"This set of books is an exposition of the investigation of things to acquire knowledge,"
"It originates from Mr. Yichuan's understanding of the investigation of things to attain knowledge,"
"To exhaust the principles of all things and apply them."
"The saying 'The Way is found in the daily lives of ordinary people' is truly wonderful."
"Let's drink three large cups!"
Hu Quan, holding up "University Justice," said...
"His Majesty's Commentary on the Great Learning"
"The student has already studied in Jiangxi,"
"However, some words and phrases were copied incorrectly."
"Now renamed 'University Justice',"
"It seems there have been a few revisions,"
"It's more exciting than anything I've read before."
"Some parts are different from what you told me, sir,"
"Your Majesty is even bolder and more direct."
"It's something the gentleman can't say outright,"
"Your Majesty has hit the nail on the head in just one sentence."
Xiao Chu took it, scanned it, and frowned.
“There are pros and cons.”
Zhao Yuan's annotated version of the *Great Learning*
The order of some of the scriptures has been rearranged.
And after becoming emperor, he revised it again.
The concept of "people-oriented" is elaborated more deeply within it.
It even implied that people could rebel if they couldn't survive.
Although Xiao Chu also agreed that "the people are the foundation of the state,"
But he was more concerned with "imperial centralization of power".
There is no fundamental conflict between the two.
In an ideal situation, they can even complement each other.
But reality is often not the ideal state.
Xiao Chu felt that when assisting the monarch in creating a prosperous era,
It is permissible to sacrifice the interests of some people in the short term.
Zhao Yuan's arguments were too radical.
It might be detrimental to centralized rule.
Chapter 1835 Advantages and Disadvantages
Hu Quan said, "I believe it has no disadvantages and only advantages."
"As long as national policies benefit the majority of the people,"
"We are not afraid even if a small number of people rebel."
"Your Majesty is referring to that incompetent emperor, Zhao Ji,"
"Incompetent and cruel, exploiting without restraint,"
"To the point that the whole world rebelled!"
Xiao Chu stopped dwelling on it.
He merely nodded slightly.
Then continue reading the later parts of "The Way of Strategies".
He had already read the mathematics section in Jiangxi.
My friend copied it secretly.
Xiao Chu not only learned Arabic numerals,
He has even mastered analytic geometry.
However, the version he received at this time...
And then there's calculus, which Zhao Yuan added...
There isn't much relevant content.
It only covers the basic concepts and simple applications of calculus.
But this already shocked Xiao Chu, who was well-versed in divination.
Ignore everything right now.
I picked up a pen and started writing as I read.
The following day, the master and apprentice went to the Ministry of Rites to report for duty.
Hu Quan came to the Ministry of Rites to submit his examination application.
That is, report your basic information.
Waiting for the Ministry of Rites to review and assign examination numbers.
Xiao Chu, however, was recommended by local officials.
The imperial court recruited officials through the Ministry of Rites.
