Chapter 724 The King of England is Influenced by Confucianism

Charles II said, "You said it well! We should do this!"

He is really willing to believe that his Dae-English can surpass Mingguo and become the new overlord of the earth!

James, Duke of York, was skeptical and smiled slightly.

"Now all the countries on the mainland are learning and learning from the Ming Kingdom in the East and sending students. His Majesty the King, I think we should also try to completely open the country, engage in trade with the Ming Kingdom, and send students to the Ming Kingdom so that we can better understand the Ming Kingdom."

James suggested at this time.

"inappropriate!"

Xu Qianxue hurriedly opposed it and said, "If we trade with the Ming Kingdom, our market will be completely occupied by the Ming Kingdom, our goods will be unsold, and there will be civil changes at that time! Moreover, the Ming Kingdom has always been good at using instigation of common people to rebel. Once this happens, the farmers in my British Empire who lost their land due to enclosure will inevitably become chaotic people. In this way, the British Empire will have a day when the country is destroyed!"

After hearing this, Charles II felt very reasonable and said, "It is not the time yet. When our British is comparable to the Ming Dynasty in technology and industry, it will not be too late to trade with the Ming Dynasty."

James is not good to say anything else.

"Now we go to the gun factory! Although Qian Xue is right, if Da Ying wants to be as strong as the Ming Dynasty, he must practice benevolent government, introduce Eastern Confucianism, and talk about Zhou rituals, the benefits of this equipment must not be ignored."

At this time, Charles II raised his foot and walked towards the royal gun factory not far from the spinning mill.

"Yes! However, the most authentic Confucianism should be Neo-Confucianism, especially Zhu Zi's studies are the best, which can be called the three tastes..."

Xu Qianxue took this opportunity to continue to instill the starting Zhu Neo-Confucianism in Charles II in English that he had already mastered.

Charles II was not tired of it. He was willing to accept this kind of knowledge that emphasized loyalty and filial piety and hierarchy, and even thought it was the idea that Great Britain lacked the most. Moreover, because of the strong national strength of the Ming Dynasty, he was subjectively looking at it differently because Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism came from the East.

"We tried to imitate the rifled guns from Japan. Even the rifle could be pulled better than them, but it was very laborious. Moreover, this gun had a high demand on the barrel, which caused the entire gun to be very expensive and the manufacturing time was much more expensive than the flintlock gun. We don't know how the Ming Dynasty made everyone in Japan equipped this gun."

Hejamin, who was in charge of firearms, reported to Charles II.

Charles II looked at Xu Qianxue: "Do you know?"

"I guess the smelting technology is different. I guess the Ming Dynasty can produce better steel and more efficient."

Xu Qianxue said.

He had to admit that with the terrible productivity shown by the steam engine after it appeared, people around the world could no longer despise natural science.

So he, a Confucian scholar, had to change his attitude and carefully learned some natural science knowledge in his stomach in the Ming Dynasty.

"The Count is right. We are also trying to improve our smelting technology. Although we have made some progress, we still cannot significantly reduce the cost of the rifled rifle."

Hejamin replied at this time.

"This matter should not be too hasty. It's just like doing academic research, and it must be done naturally."

Xu Qianxue said another sentence at this time.

Everyone nodded.

Charles II was a little anxious to achieve success, so he said to Xu Qian: "How much time does this take to come naturally? Will it be better than Ming within ten years? At least defeating Japan and North Korea, or will it take a generation of time?"

"If Your Majesty the King teaches benevolent politics, you may achieve twice the result with half the effort. My son-in-law has long said that practicing benevolent politics is the way, and improving skills is just a skill, a subtle skill, a skill, a icing on the cake, and it is not the foundation for governing the country! As long as you are willing to do benevolent and respect the virtuous and the virtuous, these will naturally come naturally. For example, this smelting steel, if the Ming Dynasty is familiar with the master smelting skills, you know that you are respectful to the virtuous and the virtuous, be kind, forgiving and loving the people, and you will definitely be willing to join you! Be your minister!"

At this time, Xu Qianxue continued to take this opportunity to promote his Confucianism.

After hearing this, Charles II had an idea and asked, "What you mean is that if I practice this kindness and send someone to bribe the masters of the Ming Kingdom, it will be easy to bribe them."

"That's exactly what it means!"

Xu Qianxue replied.

Charles II nodded: "Okay! I will be the benevolent lord you call me! You are responsible for finding ways to buy a few masters of the Ming Dynasty to come to my Great Britain. One is to use your relationship in the Ming Dynasty, and the other is to tell them about my ambitions for the benevolent government."

"Abide by the order!"

Xu Qianxue replied.

...

"In the past, he served as kings, who ruled the country only sought peace and stability. Since the people did not do so, they could live in the country forever. I don't think so. People's desires are increasing. They are full and warm and think about lustful desires. Those who govern the country must provide more resources as the people's demand increases. Secondly, the longer the world is peaceful, the more the population increases. We can't just let the predecessors eat enough, regardless of whether future generations are hungry or not. Therefore, those who govern the country must also provide more resources as the people increase."

"The court has only two ways to increase resources. One is to take over the resources of other countries and irrigate their own fields with the water of others; the other is to develop technology so that the yield of one acre today is better than yesterday! The former is a technique, and the latter is a Tao. There is always a time when resources are taken away or cannot be taken away, and this technology is endless, so it is the foundation of governing the country."

The Ming Dynasty capital under the same time and space.

Zhu Youxiao expressed his importance to scientific and technological research and development to his ministers in the Political Affairs Hall.

"What Your Majesty said is, however, there is a problem here, that is, what should be done when scholars who have made great contributions to science and technology commit crimes, or even sinless, and if they are not properly punished, they will be punished with death, which will thus have an impact on the development of science and technology?"

Wen Tiren suddenly asked at this time.

Then, Wen Tiren looked at the other assistant ministers: "We must pay attention to this! In the incident of pacifying Japan, North Korea, and Annan, several cases of foreigners bribing our Ming Dynasty scientific research and robbing our Ming Dynasty scientific research and robbing our skills and knowledge that have not been disclosed to the outside world. Although they are not very important top-secret skills and knowledge! But this phenomenon also reminds us that we must beware of this, especially as our Ming Dynasty scientific research and research and more are more and more."

"If this is executed, it will be a loss to the entire country and mankind. After all, its value in technology is immeasurable. Your Majesty has already given the instructions that the rulers should put the interests of China first and then worry about the world. Now, whether from China or from the world, it seems that scientists should not be executed, even if they have committed the unforgivable sin!"

Zhang Tongchang said at this time.

"Is it because of its own importance to China for the world's value? Where is the imperial rule and national law?! Without the butcher Zhang, would you hold a pig with hair? I think it is inappropriate!"
