……

Yang Gai looked excitedly at the sixty-year-old man in front of him, and his heart was so happy that he was dying, this was the famous Xu Guangqi in history.

Dressed in a big red robe, wearing a black gauze hat, and a few gray beards, he was in good spirits despite the fatigue of a long journey on his face. This is the first time Yang Reform saw Xu Guangqi.

"Minister Xu Guangqi knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Xu Guangqi kowtowed to Emperor Chongzhen very seriously.

"Hurry up, please get up, big friend, help Master Xu up." Yang Reform hurriedly beckoned Wang Chengen to help Xu Guangqi, this is a respectable person, kowtow, if it weren't for the traditional strength being too strong, Yang Reform didn't want to let such a respectable old man kowtow to himself.

Xu Guangqi was moved by the enthusiasm of Emperor Chongzhen for the first time, and burst into tears. Xu Guangqi said in his heart: The emperor's voice "Master Xu", but I can call my old bones crispy, the emperor is too enthusiastic, I heard that in this court, the only person who can be called the word "master" is Sun Chengzong, who is dependent on Sun Chengzong's arm, is the important minister among the important ministers, and now he calls himself a master, doesn't that mean that he will be reused by the emperor? Wouldn't the ambition hidden in his heart be displayed? Thinking of this, I can't control my tears, I have lived for decades! It's almost grounded, but there is a stage to show.

"Chair, move a soft chair for Master Xu." Yang Gengai shouted again. For such an old man, one of the preferential treatment will not be left behind. Ordinary people are very happy to be given a seat by the emperor and a bench, and Yang Reform directly put an upholstered chair on Xu Guangqi, which can be seen.

"The emperor really killed the old minister." Xu Guangqi was really frightened by the emperor's "excessive" enthusiasm, thinking that he was just seeing the emperor for the first time, and he had no friendship with the emperor before! It's a bit out of the ordinary. Xu Guangqi knew that the reason why Emperor Chongzhen treated him so warmly was because of his historical reputation, which was so famous, and it was difficult for a bull who had been in primary and secondary school textbooks not to be enthusiastic.

Again, Yang Reform is very much looking forward to the various books written by Xu Guangqi, including translated Western books, these books are the teaching materials of Yang Reform's "three major classes", and what the three major classes lack now is this textbook and teachers, so how can Yang Reform not be in a hurry.

……

Yang Reform is also not nonsense, and goes straight to the topic.

"I've heard that Master Xu has translated Western works? It seems to be called "Geometric Original", right? It's quite famous! I've seen it, it's a must-read in mathematics! "What is the reason why Yang Reform has such a natural affinity for Xu Guangqi? The inheritance of knowledge is linked in one line.

Elementary school, middle school, etc., read and learn mathematics, which mentioned "parallel lines", "triangles", "diagonals", "right angles", "acute angles", "obtuse angles", "similar" and other academic terms, are determined by this bull, that is to say, the mathematics learned by later generations should be thanks to the old man who sat in front of Chongzhen in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. Common knowledge, the inheritance of history, how can you call Yang Reform, who has experienced nine years of compulsory education, not excited, how not to feel close? Every time I think of this, it is like going back to the 21st century, when I was a young student.

"Your Majesty, it is true, sir, in the early years, I worked with the Western missionary Matteo Ricci to translate the Western work "Euclid's Original", and after the translation, the name was "Principles of Geometry". Xu Guangqi happily introduced his book, and the emperor was interested in this book, which was a good thing.

"Good, good...... Don't hide it from Master Xu, I think this book can become a must-read for everyone in the world, what does Master Xu think? "Yang Reform is to treat this "Geometric Original" as a mathematics textbook.

"This ...... Your Majesty, this seems to be ......" Xu Guangqi was happy that the emperor was interested in this book, but for the emperor's proposal, it seemed very unoptimistic, people in the world have always only read those related to the exam, this "Geometric Original" has nothing to do with the exam, how can others read it? Most of the people who read these books are mathematics enthusiasts, and this "Geometry Original" is also a "extracurricular reading" status, has it ever added an exam subject? It's not your average challenge!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks, this seems to be difficult, the world's scholars, are proud of the Jinshi, the Jinshi, the test is just four books and five classics, five words and eight rhymes, and these things, if Your Majesty adds this mathematics to the content of the exam, I am afraid that the ministers of the court and the world will not agree......" Xu Guangqi told the truth, he himself spent decades on the exam, and he was in his forties before he became a jinshi. In this regard, it is natural to be clear. To add a new test content, the difficulty is not ordinary, which will make many scholars feel uncomfortable, especially those who are older, their minds have been fixed, and then accept new things, it must be very difficult, and they will naturally oppose the increase in test content.

"Hehe, Master Xu, I don't plan to add an exam subject, it's just that I think this good book should be read by more people, shouldn't it?"

“…… Yes, Your Majesty, but ......" Xu Guangqi was confused, what did the emperor have to say.

"That's right, Master Xu, I plan to train the people who have won the Jinshi in Enke this year for a period of time, and then let them go out and give them some knowledge such as mathematics, geography, agriculture, etc., so that they can better benefit the people, what does Master Xu think?" Yang Gai said what he wanted.

Jinshi training class, is like that, it should be opened as soon as possible, this Enke exam, has ended, the next is the ranking, the palace exam, soon to assign work to these jinshi, when the time comes, if the jinshi class has not prepared the teaching materials, then you will miss this class of jinshi, Yang reform will never let go of this class of jinshi in vain.

"This ......" Xu Guangqi was a little confused. Jinshi training? It seems like this thing has never existed! He also trained in mathematics, geography, and agriculture, and ...... Xu Guangqi fell into deep thought.

Half ringing.

Xu Guangqicai replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks, as His Majesty said, it is still necessary to learn these things, which are beneficial to morality, good for action, good for things, and practical for the world, which can better benefit the people, especially the "Geometric Original". ”

As an advocate and promoter of practical learning and new thoughts, Xu Guangqi really supported Chongzhen's meaning.

Yang Gai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and bet right, when he searched for Xu Guangqi in Baidu, the information showed that Xu Guangqi was a person who was worried about the country and the people, paid attention to the application of the world, and advocated practical learning, and was a powerful advocate and promoter of the trend of practical learning that arose in the academic and ideological circles in the late Ming Dynasty. And he wants to stand behind Xu Guangqi and push Xu Guangqi to make the influence of this practical learning in the Ming Dynasty even greater, so as to set off a monstrous wave and clean up the world that has been eroded.
