Fuzhou and Daduo are two completely different cities, on this topic, Guo Shoujing has heard others talk about it more than once, but when he stepped into Fuzhou, he knew that the two cities were indeed far apart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ ă ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝
The layout of the capital city he participated in the construction of took into account the five elements of yin and yang and the essence of Confucianism, with Kublai Khan's palace as the center, square and grandiose. In contrast, Fuzhou, the seat of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, is shabby and messy, with some buildings that existed in the Five Dynasties and even the late Tang Dynasty still in tatters and swaying in the wind and rain, and some low-slung houses mixed in with the newly rising high-rise buildings, which is so out of step with the thriving tone of the city. However, Guo Shoujing could not despise the dilapidated and simple city of Fuzhou at all, and the construction of the capital city almost bulldozed all the original buildings that did not meet the specifications, which can be said to have completely destroyed history. The city of Fuzhou, on the other hand, quietly mixes history with the present.
There is one thing in Fuzhou City that the capital city is far from reaching, and that is the demeanor on the faces of the people. From the warriors who hurried on horses to the small people who carried their bags and followed the flow of people, almost everyone's face was full of confidence and calmness. It is a look that can only be shown if you can eat enough and not worry about tomorrow's life, although many of these small people still have obvious patches on their clothes, but they have the humility and arrogance that the rich people of the Northern Yuan can't show in their gestures.
Is this still the original Da Song? Guo Shoujing couldn't believe it. At that time, he had heard rumors about the Great Song Dynasty from his teachers and colleagues, all of which were about how mediocre the officials were, how cowardly the soldiers were, and how treacherous the people were. And Fuzhou, which is now unfolding in front of him, embodies the style of a great country everywhere.
This is the true style of a great country, which is not reflected in the palaces that are unparalleled in the world, nor in the extravagance of the royal nobles, but in the words and deeds of the people. The capital city is also very prosperous, but Guo Shoujing clearly remembers that when he traveled in a sedan chair, the people dodged and bowed down, lest they crash into the panic of the car. In Fuzhou City, Fang Kui's carriage galloped by, and the people along the way just got out of the way of the main road, and continued to do their business and talk about their business, as if they didn't see the old general Fang on the car at all.
What Guo Shoujing admired even more was the courage shown by the people of Fuzhou in the face of war. Guo Shoujing can vouch for that he has traveled all the northern states and counties, and even if Kublai Khan's hometown is included, there is no place where he can still behave so methodically when the war is approaching.
When Li Pu rebelled, the capital was thousands of miles away from Jinan, where the rebellion was, and 100,000 heavy soldiers were stationed. Many wealthy families even quietly moved their property outside the city to prevent the fire from falling into the pond after the war burned around them. However, the people of Fuzhou did not seem to know that Kublai Khan led the army of the country to the south, or they did not pay attention to the army going south, the work that should be done, and the business that should be done should be done. Guo Shoujing even saw a group of middle-aged people wearing fine cloth shirts, carrying bamboo poles and straw baskets, leisurely going to the river to fish.
And the war ** shown by the Song people was far beyond Guo Shoujing's expectations. As soon as the old general Fang Kui, who had kidnapped him and a large number of heroes in the north, arrived in Fujian, he immediately rushed to the Dadu Governor's Mansion to ask for battle. In the newspapers published in Fuzhou, Guo Shoujing saw at least 20 well-known generals taking the initiative to ask for help. Su Xing, Chen Fusong, Zhang Shijie, Su Liuyi, some of these people are not Wen Tianxiang's generals, and some even have political differences with Wen Tianxiang, at this moment, they all stood behind the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
Unlike the cowardly Da Song in his impression, Guo Shoujing did not find a "rational" voice advocating peace. On the contrary, from the great Confucians of the time to the ordinary people, everyone almost unanimously declared: Even if there is only one person left in the war, Huaxia will never consider surrendering. Among them, the oaths left by several young people from the academy who threw their pens were the most eloquent. "I am born and the country will be destroyed, and I will die and the country will survive", eight words, which write the choice of a nation in the face of national disasters.
"Is this still the Great Song?" During the days when the post station was temporarily resting, Guo Shoujing and several other northern heroes who had been kidnapped by Fang Kui had communicated privately several times, but no one could come to a definite conclusion. Many people feel as if they are living in a dream, but this dream is as mellow as wine.
After the initial shock and excitement subsided, Guo Shoujing began to think about his own survival. During the trip, he agreed to recommend the eldest son of the Guo family to study at the Navigation Academy on Liuqiu Island, which solved Guo Shoujing's worries. But Wen Tianxiang was not as talented as he imagined, not only did he welcome his arrival with great fanfare, but he didn't even give him the opportunity to meet.
Three days later, Guo Shoujing was a little out of breath and lost his temper at a young official who came to settle the group. "Has the Prime Minister been busy with official business lately? I wonder when I'll be able to wait for a meeting? â
Several heroes from the north who came to Fuzhou with Guo Shoujing gathered around and whispered their dissatisfaction. Like Guo Shoujing, they were inexplicably hijacked by a group of men in black and boarded the ship, and after more than half a month of sea travel, they came to the familiar and unfamiliar Fuzhou, full of confusion about their future.
The young official heard the dissatisfaction in Guo Shoujing's words, but he was not angry, smiled, and replied in a low voice: "Your Excellency Prime Minister is not in Fuzhou these days, so I can't come to greet you gentlemen in person. Gentlemen, if you have any requirements, please inform you below. Xiao can try his best to run for the gentlemen! â
"In that case, but I don't know what Lord Xiao plans to do with something?" Guo Zijing asked, and the word "disposal" was very clear. The official in front of him was dressed plainly, and he was less than forty years old, and he must not be a key figure in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Speaking in such a loud tone, I'm really not afraid to flash his tongue!
"Mr. Guo doesn't have to be polite, just call me Xiao Zi. His attainments in astronomy and geography are admirable, and I wonder if he can succumb to the position of academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences? The young official smiled and replied in a somewhat flattering tone. Then he turned his head and said to several other Northland heroes, "Mr. Zhu is unparalleled in the world in algebra and yuan, the prime minister hopes that Mr. can succumb to the position of academician of mathematics, Mr. Li is good at mathematics and physics, Xiao wants to ask Mr. to also be an academician of mathematics, as for the other gentlemen, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is all waiting for it!" â
"You, you're Xiao Zi!" Guo Shoujing felt the back of his neck tighten suddenly, and the whole person was frozen on the spot. The name of Xiao Zi, president of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, he had heard of more than once in the north. According to General Li Guida, all the new ordnance in the entire army of the Broken Prisoners, as well as the four-wheeled carriages, new water drains, and windmills that are popular in the north and south of the river, are all from this person's hands. Thinking about Wen Tianxiang's only descendant disciple, the most knowledgeable figure in the entire Huaxia circled around him like a small man for three days, the resentment in Guo Shoujing's heart disappeared, and was replaced by an indescribable touch.
In the north, Kublai Khan was also known as a corporal of Lixian. After the death of Jin and the destruction of the Song Dynasty, it was once known as the world's talents. But in fact, Kublai Khan never gave any respect to scholars, even the most important Mr. Science, Kublai Khan's father and son "called Xiucai but not famous". For the Mongols, who firmly believed that "being able to ride a horse and bend a bow is a hero", scholars were just embellishments of hegemony, just like craftsmen, slaves, and could not remember their names. Kublai Khan once said, "I have been seeking talents for 30 years, but I only have Dou Mo and Li Junmin." But after getting Dou Mo and Li Junmin, Kublai Khan repeatedly asked about the method of immortality and divination. As for Guo Shoujing himself, Kublai Khan and Zhenjin paid more attention to his prediction of whether the Great Yuan Dynasty would be able to survive for generations based on celestial phenomena, rather than the heavens themselves.
Compared with the contempt of the Northern Yuan, the Metropolitan Governor's Office obviously attached much more importance to scholars. As the president of the Academy of Sciences, Xiao Zi personally ran before and after to be busy for everyone, and while Fang Kui was "kidnapping", he did not forget to risk his life to pick up everyone's family members and transport away the gold and silver at home.
"Being able to discuss face-to-face with Lord Xiao is the luck of Zhu's life!" Zhu Shijie, who was called Mr. Zhu by Xiao Zizun, was the first to come back from the shock and replied eagerly. He is proficient in mathematical calculations, and summarizes the "quaternion" (multivariate higher-order equation equation and elimination solution), "stacking method" (summation of higher-order difference sequences) and "trick technique" (high-order interpolation). He is as famous as the late master of mathematics Li Ye, and is known as "Li Zhu Shensuan". In the process of surveying and summarizing Guo Shoujing's "Time Calendar", he cited the research results of Li and Zhu many times. Such a Mahayana scholar who concentrated on the study of Chinese mathematics was classified as a soothsayer by Kublai Khan in the Yuan court. Zhu Shijie was dissatisfied with Yuan Ting's ignorance and ignorance, and had long fantasized about being able to exchange Tianyuan Technique (equation solving) with the legendary southern talents. Therefore, for this "hijacking", he not only felt disgusted in his heart, but also had the pride of being valued by his confidant.
Guo, Zhu and others were humble, but Xiao Zi did not dare to put up a stand in front of these people. All of his knowledge comes from Wen Tianxiang's "Book of Heaven", but these famous masters in front of him have summed up a profound knowledge that is no less than the content contained in "Book of Heaven" with their own perceptions. According to Wen Tianxiang, the Mongol invasion cut off the development of Chinese civilization, and one of the tasks of the Academy of Sciences is to preserve the seeds of Chinese civilization intact through these heroes and let it continue uninterruptedly. Doing this job well will be no less beneficial to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion than obtaining another "Book from Heaven".
Nodding politely, Xiao Zi said: "Don't dare, the southern students are looking forward to you, like a long drought and rain." Therefore, Xiao said that he would move the governor and forcibly invite him. I hope Mr. forgive me for the offense. The Academy of Sciences has prepared several rooms in front of the mountain for gentlemen to stop. As for the trivial matters of life, someone will take care of them for you! â
Seeing that Xiao Zi was so polite, even if everyone had complaints in their hearts, it was not easy to say it too clearly. After all, right now, on the territory of the Broken Army, once the master is provoked, I am afraid that he will not even be able to eat the penalty wine. With their own hearts, everyone went to the "burrow" specially prepared for academicians by the Academy of Sciences under Xiao Zi's arrangement, and before the door entered, someone had already exclaimed again.
It was a hundred and ten small buildings scattered on the sunny slope, separated from each other by low walls and shrubs, each forming an independent garden. Among the layers of flowers, a stream flows around the hillside into the distance.
"Xiao, Lord Xiao, this, you said this is a burrow prepared for us?" Li Shuwen, a hermit in Hebei who had studied the prescription many times, stammered and asked. In the past few days, he has seen the official yamen and post houses in Fuzhou, and knows that most of the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is frugal and simple, and the expenses for official business are very small, and many old houses more than 100 years ago have been painted with white ash and become places for officials to perform their daily official duties. So I always thought that the humble room in Xiao Zi's mouth was a broken tile cold kiln, but I never expected it to be so luxurious in the end.
"One place for each person, for you to live in. In the future, when you have another salary, you can consider buying this residence, or go elsewhere to buy another good house! Xiao Zi nodded and replied with a smile. Immediately arranged for the same day workers to help everyone pack their bags.
"But I don't know how many grades and levels the position of academician is in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, no, the Great Song Dynasty, and how many are the ranks?" Li Shuwen has never been an official, and he doesn't care about face as much as others, but seeing Xiao Zi's refreshing answer at this moment, he simply asked directly about "Qiantu".
That's what a lot of people care about the most. After being rudely kidnapped by Fang Kui, the Great Yuan Dynasty never had a place for everyone to stand on. If you go to the Great Song Dynasty and don't get the treatment you deserve, it will be too unfair to everyone. Moreover, Kublai Khan's southward movement was imminent, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion did not know how long it would be able to support under Meng Yuan's iron cavalry. Although the current beautiful house is attractive, not everyone can afford it, and even if they can afford it, they may not be able to keep it in the future.
"Academicians are just academic positions, which are equivalent to the teaching and learning of the academy, and have nothing to do with the official grade!" Xiao Zi smiled and replied in a low voice, not feeling that Li Shuwen's question was abrupt at all. Back then, many well-educated people in Jiangnan asked almost the same thing after receiving the letter of appointment from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It's just that some people ask tactfully, and some people ask directly. Xiao Zi knows that reading can make people reasonable, but it may not make people hard. It is not these scholars who can really share life and death with the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, but reckless heroes like Chen Hangyan and Wang Laoshi who can't read a few big characters.
Without waiting for everyone to ask again, Xiao Zi cleared his throat and continued to explain: "If you have to compare with officials, Xiao can only say that your salary is five gold coins per month, which is slightly higher than the official salary of the fourth grade of the Great Song Dynasty, between the squire and the Shangshu!" â
Five gold coins, a number that surprised everyone again. After a few days of temporary stay in the Fuzhou inn, they got a general idea of the prices here. Except for some tools that are not commonly used, the prices of daily necessities are generally slightly higher than those under the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Five gold coins are equivalent to fifty silver coins, which is equivalent to twenty-five taels of silver. In Fujian, it can be used for a year's expenditure of a medium-sized family, and in exchange for the northern land price, 30 acres of fertile land can be purchased. In this way, the salary of being an academician of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences for one year is probably higher than that of the prime minister of the Yuan Court. Of course, this premise is that the prime minister of Dayuan is not corrupt.
"I knew that it was such a high salary, and our family came here by itself, so why bother with the old man Fang to invite him!" Li Shuwen is a master of mental arithmetic, and after figuring out his year, he laughed loudly.
"Yes, you can forget about the mountains and rivers, and there is no strong man who herds cattle back and forth!" The crowd responded. Most of them have no intention of pursuing a career in public service, and instead of becoming officials, it is better to have a comfortable environment to do their studies. It's just that under the rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, if you are not an official, you will not get the resources to settle down, and naturally you will not be able to calm down and do your studies. And the practice of separating the academic and official positions of the Metropolitan Governor's Office is exactly what everyone thinks.
"Academician, Huaxia Academy of Sciences!" Guo Shoujing muttered. Since abandoning ship and landing on the shore, every grass and tree in the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and every move of Xiao Zi and others have shocked him. With a stable life guarantee and a way out for his wife and children, this shock slowly turned into joy. And the joy turned into worry in a blink of an eye, after all, as one of the high-ranking officials of the Great Yuan Dynasty, he clearly knew how strong the combat effectiveness of the Yuan army was at this time. It turned out that the Broken Army still had an artillery advantage to rely on, and before being hijacked, he and Li Guida had once again improved Dayuan's cannon casting process.
"I don't know if Lord Guo is satisfied with Xiao's arrangement? If you are not satisfied, you can put it forward, and Xiao will do his best to meet your needs? Seeing Guo Shou's unrelenting appearance, Xiao Zi stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"No, nothing, it's good, it's very good!" Guo Shoujing paused for a moment and said embarrassedly. I regret that I helped Kublai Khan a lot, if I hadn't been so meritorious a few days ago, maybe I could have stayed in the garden villa for a few more days. After thinking about it, he added, "Guo Moufang is just wondering why the Academy of Sciences is just distracted for a while in the name of Huaxia." â
"Yes, can Lord Xiao tell me what Huaxia is?" Zhu Shijie stepped forward and humbly asked for advice. In Fuzhou, the word Huaxia is mentioned at a very high rate, from officials like Xiao Zi to the pawns of the post station, when it comes to anything, it is always how we are in Huaxia and how we are in Huaxia, but rarely mention the word Da Song. It was as if the Metropolitan Governor's Office had established a new state, not the Great Song Dynasty.
Perhaps, it is indeed no longer the Great Song Dynasty, Zhu Shijie secretly concluded. But he still hopes that his idea will be confirmed by Xiao Zi himself.
"The so-called Huaxia is not any dynasty in history, and it does not belong to any family or surname. He belongs to everyone who has lived here for generations and built this land. Regardless of the Han Chinese, the Mongols, the Jurchens, the Dangxiang, or the Khitans, as long as they are willing to treat other ethnic groups as equals, they will own the country. In April of the fifth year of Xiangxing, the first president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said.
