Closing the album, Master Murting's heart still could not be calmed, this is the third time he has opened this exquisite album today, and two days ago, he has opened this album more than twenty times. The album depicts exquisite words, as well as more exquisite pictures, although the Chinese characters on the album add up to less than twenty, and there are still differences with the style of the Ming Dynasty, but the text is less than the size of a small fingernail is as clear and recognizable as an iron hook and silver stroke, and the horizontal and vertical direction reveals an indescribable pleasing to the eye, I really don't know how to do it. And the object in the picture was as if it was in front of me, and I grabbed it several times when I tried to reach out.

Although he could not read the text, Lord Murting's ears were not deaf, and there was no shortage of people who could speak Chinese in his own business.

A beautiful picture book is fascinating, but even more exciting is the content above. First of all, no matter who is the official on the territory of Boni, but who can not understand the benefits of joint stock monopoly and business? Not to mention, how many Tang ships go to the South China Sea every year are dozens or hundreds of merchants who jointly charter a shipload of goods, sell them back and then calculate dividends? The reason is simple, but it is not as fine as this short-haired Song people, according to Liu Jiyi, who handled this matter, not only the value of all the goods is clearly listed, but even the dividends are clearly explained with an accurate algorithm.

"This shorthair is really nuanced in doing business." However, Murting has a lot of affection for this kind of meticulousness, and the most important thing in business is integrity, and being able to be open and honest will have a bit of a big appearance, "Let's see what situation this Song people can have in the future."

…………

"This man, please come inside, just park the chariot on this square, select the goods, and the officials of the merchant station will load and send them for you."

A local Han people look like a small guy is changing fluent Chinese and local language to usher in, the square at the entrance of the merchant station is full of people, there are merchants to see the goods, but there are more lively people, and around the square, the smart has set up a shed to serve food and fruit. And there were at least ten more people like this little guy in the square, all wearing plain gowns and neat short hair.

"It's only been a few days, that's the scene, this short hair is really a means to turn stones into gold." Murting was led with the crowd into a new shed outside the square, which was cold to the touch and made of iron, but it was not surprising that this short-haired man was good at iron, and that he could build an iron ship that could float on the sea. But when I entered the shed, it was as bright as the outside, and then I looked at the roof of the shed, but there was a lamp as bright as day, and there was one light every one zhang. Murtin, who was accustomed to seeing the world, was also surprised, and hurriedly asked Liu Jiyi, who came up.

"The ceiling is lined with glass bottles."

"Your skills are exquisite, but there are many things you can see in glass bottles, and you have never seen such a dazzling one."

"That's the undulating body of the bottle, and the bottle is filled with water, because it is to refract the sun."

"Refraction, sunshine ......" Murting pondered the meaning of Liu Jiyi's words.

Liu Chenxu said: "It is only useful during the day, and at night, it is still necessary to hold the lamp." After speaking, he picked up a booklet from his side, "It's just that the method of this lens is recorded in this book, glass bottles, mercury mirrors have words, and there are also principles of clairvoyant mirrors." ”

Seeing that it was full of Chinese characters, Murting handed it over to the general affairs around him, but after listening to the general affairs for a long time, he pointed to the four big characters on the cover of the book and told him - "Preliminary Study of Optics".

"I didn't expect the book to sell so well."

"I want to know that who doesn't want to learn such a secret method as we are, but they can't learn it."

The two short-haired men gossiped freely in the merchant station, and finished half a day's work, so it is no wonder that they have spare time to talk about boring topics, but they also quarreled a few times in the political hall - it was for national policy.

As for the direction of future development, in fact, there has been a decision for a long time, and I don't know how many people have been arguing for several years, and the attitude towards the diffusion of science and technology is finally the most widespread support for the Rockley faction. How to quickly occupy the commanding heights of civilization and cultivate enough basic talents for future colonization, or can be called the leader of the people, there is nothing more effective than the spread of scientific and technological ideas. The more there is a gap between the times, the more we can understand that the all-round leadership of science and technology is the advantage of the system, which is interlocking and complementary, even if the principle is known, there is no paving of basic disciplines, no accumulation of material disciplines, no accumulation of tens of millions of tests, and there will be no achievements to boast of, and what it does is to train talents for the reception of the group in advance. With this understanding, everything is naturally done, not to mention that young people of any era are always full of curiosity about the unknown.

…………

"A Preliminary Study of Optics? With this thing, can you really make a clairvoyant mirror? "The young Su Tan is still at the age of curiosity, and he is not willing to admit defeat, clairvoyant mirrors are not uncommon in Brahmanai, and the Hongyi people who go to sea always have some with them, although the quality is uneven, but the vista is the same. Su Tan also spent a lot of money to obtain the method of making mirrors from Hongyi, but he didn't know anything about it because he was greedy for money, otherwise he knew the fur, or he simply had those Hongyi monks to convert people, and it was impossible to understand.

Today, it is strange to hear the news that the shorthairs are still selling books, and that the books contained in them are all in line with Tessie's secret method. So far, this group of self-proclaimed Song eccentrics had repeatedly surprised Su Tan - apart from their military prowess, which was one of the comforts that His Highness Ruaba could find at the moment, he had not even heard from a close attendant about the Shorthairs' armed forces, they were skilled in iron, but they were not even equipped with swords in the trading station, and the goods they sold were all for daily use, and they were completely unarmed.

Now that he had heard about the method of making this clairvoyant mirror, he went with his cronies and attendants to invite the best gold and silver craftsmen in the capital to come and try to make a few. Thinking about the information collected in the past few days, the short-haired ones who went ashore enjoy all kinds of things, especially the daily bath, and the enjoyment of eating and drinking is really similar to the customs of the Song people that Su Tan heard from the Han ministers.

…………

'Is it really that simple?' Thinking about the same problem, Zheng Dongzhu, who had just brought back a shipload of goods, followed the tide all the way west, and in only ten days, he could return to the old port. Zheng Da's mood could not be calmed, although the silver coins exchanged from Luzon were exchanged for the goods of the Song people, which was still semi-compulsory, but if he returned to the old port, no one could say that he suffered a loss, including the shareholders of this ship. There are many big ships going to Taixi, half of the goods are sold, and the remaining half is waiting for the wind hyacinth to be transported to the Ming Kingdom in the second half of the year, and the net worth of three years has also been earned.

Uncle Fa was not affected by the owner's emotions, Zheng Da is his own nephew, just a child, although he is the owner of the ship, but he still has to listen to him for all the affairs on the ship. Uncle Fa, who has read for a few years, is more than fifty years old, and has a big name called Zheng Guofa, who was originally quite respected in the township because of his literacy, but that was also an old thing many years ago, when he was sixteen years old and went up and down Nanyang, it was Zhang Ge Lao who was in charge of the court at that time, that is, Zhang Juzheng, and now more than 30 years have passed in a blink of an eye.

It's just that at this moment, Uncle Fa's interest is in a booklet in his hand, which is only the size of two palms, and the four big characters on the crisp cover are all in Song style - "The Law of Celestial Bodies".

It is different from the Ming classics, but it is turned from left to right, but it is quite similar to Taixi's books, which I have seen in the old port and Manraka in the past. Open the cover, although the text inside is Chinese characters, but they are all written in a vulgar style, and it is written horizontally from left to right, which is also explained by the Song people when they send the book, otherwise Uncle Fa may not be able to know the reading method of the Song people's books.

There is only one place where Uncle Fa thinks it is very good, and the first article lists a lot of different items, but they are all the same head, followed by page numbers, and the so-called punctuation is added to the text, which saves the complexity of reading. But roughly speaking, they are all stars in the sky, but Uncle Fa is also interested in them on weekdays. Looking further back, the book says that the earth should be spherical, and all things are born on it without realizing it, which is originally unbelievable, but this book says that it is interesting, and there are examples. For example, the last paragraph said that when you sail on the sea, what you see from a distance must first be the mast and sail cable on the ship, and then the hull.

After turning a few more pages, I saw that it was said that not only the earth is spherical, but the sun and the moon are spherical, and the sun shines on its own, and the moon can only rely on the reflection of the sun, because the moonlight is not as bright as the sun, and the so-called earth revolves around the sun, and the moon revolves around the earth.

Regardless of the text, pictures, are as clear as an iron hook and silver stroke, just in terms of printing, the beauty of this booklet is far beyond the various books seen in the past, and see that there are the so-called nine planets behind, what Uranus, Neptune and do not look, Uncle Fa saw the Mars seen a few days ago, and quickly turned to the back, although the Arabic numerals used in the page numbers are not familiar, but they are just some simple graphics, look at it a few times, and remember, this number is easy to use, and it is naturally easy to use here.

Sitting under the felt shed at the bow of the boat, taking advantage of the oblique sunlight, I continued to read the Song books in my hand, looking at the description of astronomical principles in the middle, and from time to time I would sigh, 'I see', but the sun gradually sank in Uncle Fa's self-talk......
