Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 600 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 45
In Hangzhou in July, the weather was hot and humid, but the sun was scorching, and people who knew it was looking for a place to enjoy the cool air, and stayed away if they could.Even coolies in the market will spend a penny to buy a large cup full of iced sour plum soup, or buy a large bowl of iced sweet mung bean soup, find a green shade or a vent, sit down and enjoy it slowly, and relieve the hunger in your stomach. irritable.

A penny is really cheap, even the servants on the pier can spend it every day.In a rich place, you can make money at any time, even if you are a coolie, you can earn a few dollars a month. You can live above food and clothing, and enjoy the life of ordinary people gossiping in your spare time. Compared with the countryside facing the loess and facing the sky There is much more gusto.

Scholars resorted to resorting to mountain houses and lakes one after another to escape the summer heat. It seemed that there was nothing that could bring up their longing for the coolness.

In this hot and restless environment, Wang Xiu seems to be adding heat to the weather. The Southeast News of Yuquanshan Academy published the version of "Comments on Mind Learning" in stages with a high profile, and made a comprehensive interpretation of "Xin Xue Zheng Lun". It is no different from a blockbuster, which broke the silence of the shady scholars, and scorched the astonished eyes of the scholars.

The most eye-catching thing is that the book clearly puts forward the idea of ​​people-oriented principle and local government, as well as the three-step constitutional monarchy.Of course, it mainly talked about the dual monarchy, and the constitutional monarchy was very general and quite unclear.

Even so, it is like a blockbuster.

For a while, Shihlin fell into a momentary shock, no longer paying attention to the economic reform slowly promoted by Wang Xiu, and all his eyes were attracted.

If scholars don't pay attention, they are definitely not scholars. Whether it is local governance or dual monarchy, they are all new things that startle people's attention.However, according to Wang Xiu, it is not new at all. He is standing on the shoulders of his predecessors with some improvements. Rule the world with the scholar-officials.

His first proposal emphasized that the article is based on the governance of the ancient sages and emperors. It is a purely academic opinion, a discussion of the ancient Great Harmony, and has nothing to do with the existing family-state system.And with a sophisticated argument, it is proposed that before the pre-Qin period, the Great Qin Dynasty in the far west had once had the Roman Republic.

Looking at the articles that come out one after another, the mood of the scholars is complicated. When they say a thousand things and ten thousand things, Wang Xiu dares to say what they have not said, that is to restrict the imperial power and truly rule the world together.

They have been working hard, whether it is the idea of ​​co-governing the world, or the system of speech officials and Zhongshu sects, it is a restriction on imperial power.However, no one has really publicly restricted the imperial power in the form of clear legislation, let alone advocated it ideologically, and it does not depend on the existence of the imperial power, which is really astonishing.

They have re-examined Wang Xiu with a new perspective, the Minister of Policy and Assistance, a generation of famous scholars, and Confucian universities are not enough to describe this man.Especially when some people with ulterior motives said that when Wang Xiu was bewitching people's hearts, those businessmen from overseas also confirmed Wang Xiu's sophistication. There was indeed a powerful country in the far west, which used the entire ocean as an inner lake. council and consul system.

Some people were suddenly speechless, Wang Xiu's knowledge has long surpassed them, if you talk about the past and the present with Wang Xiu, it's nothing to do.

Sun Fu personally visited Tang Ge's mansion and described the events of the year in detail. What Zhong Liqiu said made Tang Ge's hair stand on end, and he understood why Sun Fu guarded against Wang Xiu.

"Wang Wenshi is considered loyal, but he just writes books and establishes learning, which is unconventional, so maybe he won't have a different heart."

"Zhongli Shaoyin is a hidden talent in the world. He has never made a mistake in judging things. He discovered Wang Xiu, so he naturally has seven or eight levels of understanding. Back then, if he had listened to his advice, maybe Wang Xiu would not have become the king of Jingqin. !"

"Let's take another look. We must not make a judgment based on the words of one person. After all, Wang Wenshi is a rare genius. We cannot sin with our words."

"I don't want to either! However, his theories are not a bad thing, at least they will make the world more stable, and scholars can truly gain the power to govern the country."

Publishing articles one after another makes people impatient to wait, but they have to wait. No one dares to urge, and no one expresses the same opinion. They are not Wang Xiu, they have huge reputation and strong political capital.Sometimes, it is very unwise to express a position before the political trend is clear. Of course, some people say that Wang Xiu is unconventional and has bad intentions, but in the collective silence of the mainstream scholars, it seems ridiculous.

Well, the silence of the mainstream of Shihlin represents a big problem, at least those scholar-bureaucrats agree or partly agree with their views.

With the successive publication of annotations on the study of mind, Luoyang Zhigui is a bit too expensive, but Yuquanshan Academy's miscellaneous studies textbooks have caused an uproar again.For example, the earth that humans live in is round and revolves around the sun; the reason why people do not float into space is the gravitational force on the earth; two iron balls fall to the ground at the same time; give me a fulcrum, and I can lift the earth; The molecular structure of hydrogen-oxygen complexes, etc., hit people's eyeballs.

It is obvious that scholars do not comment on the annotations of the study of mind, but point their fingers at the textbooks of miscellaneous studies, and criticize them endlessly.

For this reason, Zhang Ling, Lin Silang and others specially organized several experiments. On the ten-foot-high tower, two iron balls of different weights were dropped at the same time, and dozens of experiments were carried out, all of which were to verify the correctness.What is even more unbelievable is that, using mechanical principles and mechanics, people can really realize the jack, which attracts everyone's attention.

Why did the fruit fall to the ground and not to the air?What is it if it is not gravity?The reason why birds can soar in the sky is because they use aerodynamic force and overcome gravity to fly.

The most exciting thing is not these. Lin Shiro used oranges, copper wires, zinc sheets, thin wires and other objects to make a simple battery conductive system in public.The students of Yuquanshan Academy personally tested it with their hands. As Wang Xiu said, the weak current made the fingers numb. One day, electrical equipment for human use will be developed.

Scholars have praised it one after another, it is very simple if you don't believe it, you can just use these things to test it.

Wang Xiu didn't pay too much attention to public opinion, he still had a lot of things to do, how could he have time for a spat?Some improvement measures have been introduced continuously, and the improvement regulations based on Liangzhe Road or Hangzhou are being piloted slowly, like tender seedlings, which are gradually growing under the cloudy sky, and they need to be carefully cared for.

However, as the head of the mountain, he has to come to the academy to give lectures regularly. His lectures are absolutely popular, which can be described as a sea of ​​people.
