Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 208 I was inexplicably hated by the great scholar
Beijing.

Imperial City, East Palace.

"Why are you here, teacher?" Zhu Biao looked at Song Lian and asked.

Song Lian is now very old, and has been relieved of all his duties. Now he only retains a bachelor's degree as a Hanlin lecturer, serving as a teacher for the Hanlin editors, and majoring in national history.

The revision of Yuan History was just completed two years ago.

In recent years, he has rarely come to the East Palace, so Zhu Biao showed a confused look.

Song Lian bowed and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Teacher, there is no need to be polite. Get up quickly." Zhu Biao stepped forward and reached out to help Song Lian up himself.

Song Lian stood up, looked at Zhu Biao, and said, "I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince knows about the affairs of the Twelve Princes."

"What does the teacher mean?"

"According to Master Wang, His Royal Highness the Twelfth Prince has not gone to the base camp to listen to his sermons for more than half a month. He only spends the whole day studying those strange and obscene skills in the military battle station. The veteran is not saying that the strange and obscene skills are completely useless, but For a prince, this is not what he should learn."

In Song Lian's view, if a prince learns these strange and obscene skills, will the dignity and dignity of the royal family be lost?

Zhu Biao did not directly refute Song Lian's words, but asked instead: "Teacher, do you think the purpose of princes studying is to make the common people live a better life?"

Song Lian nodded and said: "Of course, since the emperor has established the kinship system, it is only a matter of time before the princes become vassal. For the people of the vassal, the vassal king is heaven. So now these young princes are still studying. stage is particularly important.”

Song Lian seemed to see the purpose of Zhu Biao's question, and then said: "The strange and obscene skills may benefit some people, but after all, they are trivial and the impact they can have is small. What the princes really should learn It is the true great road of the Five Classics.”

Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "The strange and obscene skills mentioned by the teacher are never trivial. They can not only benefit a vassal, but also benefit the people all over the world. Yang Qing's invention of the rail train is the best proof. , not only brought transportation convenience and reduced the cost of transporting people and goods, but also was the most important reason for the success of the Northern Expedition to Mobei. There are many such examples, such as the new firearms he invented and manufactured, and the military telescope Wait, it can be said that every little trick from the teacher's mouth is changing the entire country."

"So students believe that as long as it can benefit the people, it is a great path."

After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Song Lian was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao, as if he was meeting the student in front of him for the first time.

In the past, Zhu Biao would never directly refute what he said like today.

Song Lian really never imagined that the students he taught would one day speak for Qi Ji Xin Qiao.

"No matter what His Highness the Crown Prince says, it is always a strange skill." When Song Lian said this, his beard was trembling.

In ancient times, science and technology were often called "fantastic skills and ingenuity". From this, we can see their resistance and contempt for science and technology.

Because the ancients placed special emphasis on people's own training and disdained dependence on external things.

Therefore, in the long history, science and technology have been suppressed. Only in the Tang and Song Dynasties, due to the relaxed political and social environment, was it able to breathe.These two eras are when all kinds of science and technology are blooming.

But the good times didn't last long, and he went back again in the Ming Dynasty.

It reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, the Manchu rulers' restrictions on all aspects of thought reached a new peak, and science and technology were naturally among them. The "Sikuquanshu" compiled in the Qing Dynasty included some scientific and technological works by farmers, doctors, and astronomy. Except for this, all other technologies are excluded.

It was also during this period that the bud of modern science in our country was strangled in a state of ignorance.

Indirectly, it led to our country’s history of humiliation that lasted for more than 100 years.

"Yang Qing said that uncanny skills and tricks are the biggest insult and misunderstanding of the study of physics. It is his fault that the twelfth brother delayed his classes at the base camp. But when it comes to studying steam engines, the students think he is not wrong." Zhu Biao looked at it. Looking at his teacher, he said firmly.

Song Lian looked at the student he was once most proud of with eyes full of disbelief.Yang Xian.

Everything has changed since Zhu Biao and Yang Xian got together!

Song Lian has long been disgusted with Yang Xian.

He was born in the Imperial Academy, a high-ranking official, and a Duke of the country, but he stayed with craftsmen and merchants all day long.

Don’t mind losing your identity!

Although Zhu Biao was Song Lian's student, he was also the prince of the dynasty.

It is impossible for Song Lian to really scold students who made mistakes like when he was a lecturer in Hanlin, and sometimes even directly punished students who made mistakes.

He wanted Zhu Biao to "recognize his mistakes and correct his mistakes." Now it seems that he can solve the problem from the source.

Song Lian left the Prince's East Palace full of disappointment, and then explained to his family and asked someone to ask for leave for him to attend the court tomorrow morning, and then left for Yangzhou aggressively.

Yang Xian, who was in Yangzhou, didn't know that he had somehow offended the leading Confucian figures in the world.

But even if he knew, he would just laugh it off.

Science and those corrupt scholars who have gone astray are inherently on opposite sides.

This day will come sooner or later.

At this time, he was still studying astronomical telescopes with other craftsmen in the newly established research laboratory.

The glass factory is only responsible for production.

Now that the scale has increased, Yang Xian has slowly changed the original model and made the research and production of each factory independent.

After all, it’s almost August.

Yang Xian hopes to complete this work before the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

As for military telescopes, they have now completed many product iterations, and are almost indistinguishable from later and modern moonscopes.

This batch of products is still in the research laboratory, and Yang Xian has not yet had time to report it to the imperial court.

After all, Yang Xian spent most of his energy on the steam engine during this period, and this was the most critical thing.

We can't really put all the burden of the first industrial revolution on two eleven or twelve-year-old boys.

The steam engine they finally produced, even if it was successful, was only the first generation steam engine. There was still a long way to go from the first generation steam engine to the application of steam engines.

At this moment, Yang Xian suddenly got servants to report him.

It is said that Song Lian, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy, is asking for an audience and is waiting for him at the Duke's Mansion.

Yang Xian put down his work, changed out of his lab coat, put on his own clothes, and walked out of the laboratory with a puzzled look on his face.

You must know that Yang Xian and Song Lian have never been in contact with each other in the past.

Therefore, I really can't understand the reason why the other party suddenly came to me.
