Quanzhou, Fujian.

Twenty-three-year-old Yu Dayou, holding a Book of Changes in his hand, sat in the library and waited for the teacher to arrive.

Yu Dayou's father is a hereditary family, but the family is also very poor, and it is not easy for him to study for many years.

Yu Dayou's ideal in life is to be admitted to the Jinshi with the title of the gold list, and to be a famous minister and eunuch of Kuangfu Sheji, but unfortunately he is the eldest son of a military household and does not have this qualification. Even so, after Yu Dayou finished reading the four books in Weixue, he also went to study the Book of Changes under Wang Xuan and Lin Fu, and also worshiped under Zhao Benxue, a great Confucianist and art of war.

With Yu Dayou's talent, it is difficult to say that the examiner is qualified, but the examiner is definitely qualified.

Zhao Benxue was almost fifty years old, and he walked into the study hall with his head held high.

"Sir!" Yu Dayou hurriedly got up.

"Sit down," Zhao Benxue said with a smile, "There is news from the county that the country wants to recruit martial arts talents, and add the Wuju County Test and the Palace Test, and the martial champion will be appointed by His Majesty." Have you moved your mind? ”

Yu Dayou grinned and said, "The student does have this intention. ”

Zhao Benxue threw out three books: "Let's take it back and study it slowly, I won't be a child." ”

These three books, namely "Taoling Inner Column", "Zhao Note Sun Tzu" and "Sun Tzu Shu", are all military books written by Zhao Benxue himself.

Zhao Benxue is a descendant of the Song Dynasty clan, and his ancestor is Zhao Kuangyin. His "Book of Changes" came from Cai Qing's lineage, specializing in the art of war Sun Tzu, and introduced the "Book of Changes" into the art of war, and Yu Dayou's thoughts on the art of war were also influenced by this - Yu Dayou's "General Essentials of the Continuation of the Martial Arts" was compiled by his teacher Zhao Benxue.

After some conversation, Yu Dayou asked a few doubts, then put away the military book and bid farewell to his teacher.

Yu Dayou returned to Jinjiang from Quanzhou, the capital city, and waited for several days before going to Wuju.

At the beginning, it was a literary examination, and the examination room was in the school field of Qianhu, with the county as the main examiner and Qianhu as the deputy examiner.

When verifying his identity, a Lehu child wearing a green turban was directly beaten out by the sergeant: "You cuckold forgets eight, you dare to come to the martial arts test, and you don't look at your identity!" ”

The children of Lehu said angrily: "The official notices have been written, and the state promotes martial talents, regardless of the type of household registration. This is the emperor's decree, do you want to resist the decree? ”

"If you dare to make noise again, I will beat you to death!" The sergeant sneered.

The children of Lehu muttered a few words, turned around and fled, how dare they really hit the school?

Wang Yuan does not discriminate against lowly status, but the people discriminate against him, and he allows Lehu to participate in the martial arts, and he can only stay on the official notice.

Yu Dayou shook his head, took out his sticker, and was soon let in.

There is nothing to say about the content of the martial arts examination, nothing more than archery, stone locks, horsemanship, etc., in addition to horsemanship and riding archery, Yu Dayou won the first place.

The next day was the literary examination, which was held at the county office.

There are only three questions:

First, what are the seven books of the Martial Arts?

Second, what are the ten formations of Sun Bin?

Third, civil affairs cannot be delayed. Try to use this sentence to talk about military affairs.

The exam questions are randomly issued by the county, the first two questions and answers are very simple, and the third one actually tests "Mencius" as eight shares.

Nine out of ten candidates were stunned by the eight-strand questions, and they answered them in a daze.

Yu Dayou is familiar with the Four Books and the Book of Changes, and the eight strands of literature are at his fingertips. It is nothing more than the way of the people, there is constant production and perseverance, and there is no permanent production and no perseverance. When it comes to military affairs, it is necessary not to withhold food and wages, but to let the soldiers have a head start, so that they can fight bravely.

The main examination of liberal arts county in Nazhi County was very easy, and it was the first time to take the main martial arts examination, and I was amused by the various articles of the reckless people. It wasn't until he flipped through Yu Dayou's answer sheet that he sighed and said: "Such a literary talent, you should be a Confucian student, but unfortunately you can only take the martial arts test." Alas, the country lost another talent, and the verdict was the first of the case. ”

There are only three Wu Xiucai places in Jinjiang County, and there are no tax incentives, and Yu Dayou successfully got the first place.

The second and third places are all children of military families. There are not many children of civilian households and artisan households, and their skills are enough, where can they fight for military households?

Because Daningwei urgently needed a large number of military attachés, Yu Dayou immediately left for Fuzhou after completing the county examination, and two months later he would take the Wuju Township Examination.

Fujian's martial arts quota is only ten, and the competition is more fierce than that of Kaowenju.

Yu Dayou Township test is the first, although equestrian and riding and archery lag behind, but personal martial arts are only the threshold, after passing the test, you can participate in the written test, and ranked by the written test results.

Of the ten martial artists in the province, there are nine children of military families, and one is a military enthusiast from a wealthy family.

After the township test, he hurriedly took a boat to Beijing, because the time was too urgent, and the martial arts people in Guangxi and Yunnan were slightly delayed, and it was estimated that they would miss the martial arts examination.

Yu Dayou's family is not wealthy, and the travel expenses given by the Fujian Dusi are also small, so after he came to Beijing, he could only rent a private house outside the city.

After settling down slightly, Yu Dayou went to the Chengnan Institute of Physics, wanting to appreciate the demeanor of Wang Erlang's disciples.

As a super military fan from a military household, Yu Dayou certainly has an idol to worship, that is the brave and unparalleled Wang Zhuangyuan!

Moreover, Zhao Benxue studied the I Ching and mathematics, and was naturally very good at mathematics. After Wang Yuan's new arithmetic was transmitted to Fujian, Zhao Benxue immediately studied and adopted it, and by the way, it was passed on to his disciple Yu Dayou.

Zhao Benxue once said to Yu Dayou: "Wang Shilang has won a hundred battles and innovated arithmetic, so he must be proficient in mathematics." The art of war is a good technique, but unfortunately I can't ask for advice in person, which is a big regret in life. ”

As soon as he walked into the School of Physics, Yu Dayou saw Fang Xianfu lecturing.

After listening carefully for a while, Yu Dayou was very unhappy. Because of Fang Xianfu's theory of mind, Zhu Xi was used everywhere, and Yu Dayou was Cai Qing's second disciple, and Cai Qing was a loyal admirer of Zhu Xi.

In fact, Cai Qing belongs to the revisionist school of science.

Zhu Xi said that first be rational and then be angry. Cai Qing said that he was angry first and then reasonable.

When Chen Baisha, the pioneer of psychology in the Ming Dynasty, was lecturing everywhere, Cai Qing was also lecturing everywhere. That is to say, in Wang Yangming's childhood, the ideological movement of the Ming Dynasty began, giving birth to Baisha Xinxue represented by Chen Baisha, and also giving birth to a revisionist school of science like Cai Qing.

Yu Dayou wanted to continue walking, but was stopped by the student: "Please show the guide and register." ”

"Still want a guide?" Yu Dayou was surprised.

The student explained: "Since the advent of the steam engine, there has been a lot of snooping in the Physics School. They always felt that there were secret methods hidden in the academy, and they sent Xiaoxiao to steal them, making a mess of many laboratories. Therefore, in addition to the large lecture hall outside, if you want to enter again, you have to show the way. ”

Yu Dayou asked, "What is a steam engine?" ”

The student said: "A great invention can be used to drive the machine to weave cloth with coal, and the new money of the Ming Dynasty is also minted by a steam engine. The brothers are still developing a shipboard steam engine, and perhaps one day, large ships on the water can be powered by coal, and they can travel thousands of miles a day without wind. ”

Yu Dayou was shocked: "There is such a divine object! ”

The student smiled and said, "The extremes of physics are everywhere, and the knowledge of my heart is endless." This is the holy words of Zhu Zi, from which my physics school takes it as its mission to explore the avenue of all things, and everything in the world can be used by me. ”

"Great!" Although Yu Dayou doesn't know what the physical avenue is, it sounds very awesome.

took out his own road guide document and registered at the door, Yu Dayou walked into the inner courtyard, and was told not to enter the laboratory at will.

There are six classrooms in it, and there are three students from the school: one is the traditional scholar who has entered the physics school; the second is a trainee from Hangzhou and Tianjin Industrial and Commercial College; The third is the children in the capital who directly enter the college to study.

Two of the trio from Hangzhou Institute of Technology and Business are now studying at the School of Physics.

Fang Lingxi, who was born in Lehu, is already a top student of the physics school. Xu Zhi of the Xu family in Jiangyin was sent to the School of Physics by virtue of his connections. As for Yoshitaka Ouchi, he has returned to Japan and followed his father to fight for the copper mines.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have been practicing physics for thirteen years, and I just received a letter from home, my father unfortunately passed away, and I returned to North Korea to mourn," Liu Mei hugged his fist, "Farewell!" ”

Many classmates comforted him and hugged Liu Mei to see him off.

Yu Dayou grabbed a student and said in surprise: "There are still Korean disciples in your academy?" ”

The student said proudly: "That's Senior Brother Liu Meiliu, he used to be the Tocao Counselor of the Korean State, which is equivalent to the Hubu Shilang of the Ming Dynasty. When Senior Brother Liu went to Daming, he appreciated the physics road of our faction and immediately decided to stay and apprentice. Now, he has been studying the way of physics for thirteen years, and he is already a university scholar of our school. ”

Yu Dayou secretly said that the North Korean household servant had actually stayed in China for thirteen years in order to learn physics.

Yu Dayou ran to visit the classroom, and he stood outside the classroom, listening to the lecture inside. Some of them can understand it, while others are like a book and don't know what the hell they are talking about.

Then I went to visit the lab, which was full of stuff.

"Haha, I saw it, those little bugs are really moving! Yeast is a living thing! A student yelled into the microscope.

"Really, let me see!"

"It's incredible!"

"Let's try to look at something else."

“……”

Just a few days ago, the craftsman finally used glass to polish a 300-fold microscope piece. Under a low-magnification microscope, only small particles of yeast can be seen, and immediately move under this new microscope.

Big Discovery!
