Volume 1 Chapter 96 The Principle of Knowledge

Although Yang Cong is also a scholar, he really hasn't considered publishing a book, at least he hasn't thought about publishing a book for more than a year since he came to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, he didn't think that publishing a book doesn't mean that he can't help others publish books, Wang Xuan is Yu Dayou's teacher after all, and he has to give him face for everything.

Moreover, a few hundred taels of silver is nothing to him.

At this time, the old lady Yang Rong has allocated him a bonus of one percent every month according to the original agreement, although this dividend is not as much as he imagined tens of thousands of taels a month, but it is not much worse, he can now be said to have a fever with a lot of money, and burning a few hundred taels is not a matter for him at all.

In Wang Xuan's expectant gaze, he pretended to reach out and pick up a book in the pile of books, wanting to pretend to look at it, and then pretend to appreciate it, praise a few words, and then talk about the book, so that it can be regarded as giving enough face to others.

However, as soon as he picked up a book, he was instantly attracted by the title on the cover.

The title of the book turned out to be "Jin Shi Chapter", not "Yi Li", or poetry and prose or something.

What is written in this "Golden Stone Chapter"?

He couldn't wait to open the book in his hand and look at it carefully.

The words in this book look handwritten, and although they are more neat, they are not as comfortable as they look in print.

However, the content inside really made Yang Cong stunned.

The "gold and stone chapter" is written is known metal mining, smelting, casting and processing, etc., the content of the book really opened his eyes, it turned out that the people of this era of gold, silver, copper and iron and other common metals mining, smelting, casting and processing has reached a very high level, such as smelting, people in this era have mastered many kinds of alloy smelting methods, and the skills have been quite mature.

"Jinshi Chapter" is not one, but there are many books, in addition to "Brick and Tile Ceramics", "Boat Chapter", "Silk Cloth Chapter", "Danqing Dye Chapter" and so on, many, many practical things, the content he also took a general look, there are general principles and direct methods.

After he finished reading dozens of books, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Wang Xuan thought that he was considering whether to pay for these books and periodicals to be printed, so he didn't dare to say anything at all, but just looked at him blankly.

In fact, Yang Cong was not thinking about the issue of paying for the printing of books, but the issue of changing the Ming Dynasty.

When he first crossed over, he thought about changing everything about the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty could get rid of the fate of the country and become rich and strong, but he was also excited at that time, and hurriedly set a goal of entering the official career by relying on the imperial examination, as for how to change everything in the Ming Dynasty, he had not carefully considered it.

Even if you are named on the gold list, even if you control the power of the court through various methods, what should you do next?

Could it be that those powerful ministers play with power and cover the sky with one hand?

He knows that it is useless to play these, Da Ming has not appeared in power, even if he can cover the sky with one hand, even if he can make the officials govern Qingming, it can only treat the symptoms, so that Da Ming can survive for a few more years, there is no practical meaning at all.

To change the Ming Dynasty and make the Ming Dynasty rich and powerful, it is useless to just play with power, and there must be some specific and practical methods.

He hadn't thought of a specific method before, but now that he saw these books written by Wang Xuan, he finally had some vague ideas.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty perished, to put it bluntly, is because of land annexation, which is a terminal disease that can not be avoided in all dynasties, a feudal dynasty to a certain extent will inevitably have serious land annexation, once most of the people can not survive because of land annexation, then this dynasty is not far from extinction.

In fact, many people know about this terminal illness, but there is no way for them to change it.

Yang Cong didn't have any good ideas before, but now, he seemed to have thought of a good way.

This method is actually very simple, that is, to develop technology, so that the technology of the Ming Dynasty leads the world, whether it is military, agriculture, or industry, it is far beyond the countries of the world, so that land annexation will not become an incurable terminal disease.

The common people don't have enough land, it doesn't matter, this is the Age of Discovery, as long as the navigation technology is developed, I don't know how much ownerless land there is in the world, and it is enough to fit a few Ming.

Natural disasters broke out, and there was not enough food, it didn't matter, as long as the Ming industry far exceeded that of all countries in the world, it was completely possible to exchange cheap products for food.

This method may really work!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, the more excited he became, and when he thought of the back, even the whole person couldn't help but tremble.

This is very similar to the precursor of a sheep epileptic attack, Wang Xuan saw him like this, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Qingfeng, what's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable?" ”

When Yang Cong heard this, his thinking finally returned to reality, he shook his head, and said embarrassedly: "It's nothing, it's nothing, by the way, sir, don't you have a unified name for these books?" ”

Title?

Is this a desire to pay for the printing of the book, Wang Xuan said excitedly: "The title of the book has not yet been decided, these are written by the principle of learning from things, and it is also the principle of everything, the old man originally wanted to name it "Physics Request" or "Physics First Acquaintance", but he felt that this name was not atmospheric enough, Qingfeng, or, you help choose a name." ”

What is the principle of learning from things?

The Truth of Everything?

Physics!

Is this how the term physics came about?

He really didn't know if the word "physics" was invented by Wang Xuan, but the word physics touched his nerves again.

He didn't study physics, he studied chemistry.

Moreover, he has not only the things of this era in his mind, but almost everything in the later generations, he has in his mind, flying in the sky, driving on the ground, everything, what cars, trains, tanks, airplanes, artillery, rockets, etc., he has seen.

He didn't know exactly how these things were made, but he knew what the finished product looked like!

That's a huge advantage!

In fact, this era already has a certain industrial base, but for various reasons, it has not developed.

What he has seen in later life, not to say that it will be made immediately, nor will it be made in its entirety, as long as it can be made in ten or even decades, it will be amazing!

If you vigorously promote and point out the direction, Daming's industry will not soar!

How do you point the way?

It's very simple, write a book!

As long as you combine the physical objects of later generations and the industrial base of this era to write some general development directions, there are naturally people like Wang Xuan who spend a lot of time and energy to study, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for the industry of the Ming Dynasty not to lead the world!

Thinking about it, he trembled again as if he had fallen into a demonic daze.

When Wang Xuan saw Yang Cong like this, he couldn't help but show worry, this kid can't really be sick, right?

Of course, he didn't think that Yang Cong was sick in the brain, but that Yang Cong was sick, and Yang Cong was like having epilepsy!

He couldn't help but be concerned: "Qingfeng, what's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable?" ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, I'm fine, otherwise, these books are called the Principles of Gewu Zhizhi, but I feel that this kind of writing is a bit messy, why don't we sum it up and write a comprehensive Gewu Zhizhi Reason, how about it?" ”

When Wang Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, what does it mean to be a comprehensive understanding of things?
