I opened a new book "The Blood of Han'er Heroes" at the starting point, and I would like to ask my friends to come and support, and I would like to express my great gratitude.

********************************************************************

Everyone has their own ideas and life plans. No one is willing to be at the mercy of anyone, and everyone wants to get ahead.

Fang Er belongs to the former, and Ruda is the latter. The purpose is different, but the approach to be taken is the same.

Enlisting in the army and being promoted by military merit is of course a very realistic and promising path in the early Tang Dynasty when the atmosphere of martial arts was strong.

Of course, the starting point is different, and Fang Er, who has his father's shadow, cannot start as a soldier. Just like Pei Xingjian, with the Ming Jing in the imperial examination, entering Zuotunwei is Cangcao to join the army, and he is eight ranks.

And Luda may be able to become a petty officer with Xu Qilin's recommendation, but in the future, he will have to make real achievements.

It's always good to have ideals, feel at ease in the ranch, but you can also get Xu Qilin's care, first as an official, and then slowly turn into an official, but there will never be much development.

For those who are loyal to themselves, Xu Qilin is not stingy in supporting and promoting. But there must also be better conditions, such as Wang Fangyi, a civil and military all-rounder, down-to-earth and hard-working, and has made great contributions to the construction and development of Gansu and Suzhou, Xu Qilin has also mentioned it many times in the report.

When Xu Qilin leaves office, Wang Fangyi and other hard-working officials will have to be promoted. In the future, Hexi will still need to be managed by these skilled hands.

In fact, it's not just Fang Er and Luda who are self-motivated. To Xu Qilin's surprise, he found that the foodie Adjani also had some plans and ideas for the future.

In addition to eating, this girl is still secretly saving money. Whether it is to be a dowry or to buy land and a house, Xu Qilin does not know.

When it comes to Xu Qilin's rich net worth, I think it's a bit funny for the little girl to wrap money around her waist every day, isn't it too heavy?

Adjani disagreed with Xu Qilin's teasing, patted the money bag in her waist and said: "First sink and then light, save enough copper coins, change them to silver cakes, and it will be brisk all of a sudden." ”

"Save money for money, don't play tricks." Xu Qilin reminded: "Don't think that you can't see that you and Scarlett are cheating, and win Fang Er's straight hair." ”

Playing mahjong is just a pastime, and these little tricks are very tasteless. It's just that Scarlett is also involved, so Xu Qilin can't say anything.

Of course, after asking Scarlett, Xu Qilin was also surprised by Adjani's ghostly eyes. This girl has a lot of crooked ways, and her cleverness has been used in this.

Adjani grinned and said, "Didn't Brother Jun see it, wouldn't it be okay if you don't use it next time?" ”

After a pause, she looked at Xu Qilin squinting at her, and said with a smile: "Or, the slave family will return the money to Ah Lang?" ”

When he said this, he just stared wide, but his hand did not stretch into his waist bag, obviously filling in words, and there was no sincerity at all.

Xu Qilin waved his hand helplessly and said, "Don't do this in the future, it's just a game of entertainment, who still plays with you?" I don't know what you're saving money for, tell me about it! ”

Adjani blinked, shook her head and said, "Alang Mo wants to inquire, the slave family saves money for their own use." I didn't steal or rob, I saved it from my mouth. ”

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes, from the body, there may be a little possibility. From the mouth to the top, it's pure.

Hehehe, Adjani may also feel unreliable, so she laughed twice dryly and said, "Ah Lang, is it okay for the slave family to eat only and eat less snacks?" ”

Xu Qilin said helplessly: "You can eat if you want, don't save wherever you want." You go down first, you want to write something, you don't have to wait. ”

Adjani knew that Ah Lang would say that, so she turned around and smiled, and when she went out, she was beautiful again. What Ah Lang said should be a deaf ear.

Xu Qilin calmed down, picked up pen and paper, and continued to write the book "Common Sense of Physics", which was enough to change the history of Chinese science.

In ancient times, there was no concept of physics, but it was relatively similar. Gewu: It means to explore the truth of things in order to correct people's behavior. The Book of Rites? "Enlightenment is in the object, and the object is then known." “

"Learning from things" is an important concept of ancient Chinese Confucianism, and it is also a discipline that Confucianism specializes in studying the "principle of things".

But physics and physics, or "scientific research" to be precise, are not the same thing.

Confucianism's "knowledge of things" does not care about how much you know about physics and what theorems you have, but about completing a high degree of integration of people and things (affairs) through studying things, and reaching the most holy state of life.

For example, the story of Wang Yangming's bamboo, staring at the bamboo for days and nights, until he vomited blood and fainted, there was no reason.

There is also the story of Cao Chong's elephant, the world admires Cao Chong's intelligence, but he did not invent the law of buoyancy in the bath like Archimedes.

Why can the Western personality ball and grid water summarize the law of free fall and buoyancy, but Wang Yangming can only vomit blood?

In fact, this is mainly due to the fact that the knowledge of things only pays attention to observation, in order to create knowledge and then influence the results of one's own observations; The West is different, emphasizing experimentation and analysis, which is closer to experimental scientism.

Since Gewu and physics cannot be confused, are there any other physics monographs to expound the principles and make the development of science and technology in ancient China detached from empiricism?

In Xu Qilin's opinion, there is really none. Although there were considerable achievements in ancient Chinese physics, the development could not be sustained, and many were even lost.

To put it in layman's terms, the ancients were very proficient in the use of the principles of levers and axles, and some instruments used more complex gear structures, but there was no explanation of the principles, and no written and digital theories and data were formed.

Knowing this, not knowing why, ancient China's science and technology is missing this important link, and when it develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably stagnate or even be lost because of obstacles.

For example, Mozi conducted a systematic study of optics, but unfortunately this kind of knowledge was cut off because it was not taught; The artifacts about mechanics have basically not been handed down, so they have to be speculated on by imagination in later generations.

Now, Xu Qilin feels that the foreshadowing has been completed, and he can go one step further to promote the development of science and technology, at least so that craftsmen have a theory and basis for inventing and creating.

The so-called foreshadowing is naturally the printing and distribution of three books: "Elementary Mathematics", "Geometry" and "Common Sense of Nature".

Since it was mainly for craftsmen to see, Xu Qilin still used a more vernacular writing style, and there are some illustrations to illustrate it.

The vernacular is not elegant enough, but it is clearly expressed. Otherwise, as recorded in the ancient book, "all are suspended and uneven, and all are unique", can you know the principle of the center of gravity of the story?

Another example is "the wind crossing the river is also harmful", you can understand it as the friction between the wind and the water surface, and it can also be understood as the water can absorb heat.

It is precisely because of the refinement and simplification of the description that many inventions and creations have been contested by foreign countries in later generations. Vague or plausible records in ancient books make it difficult to provide valid proof.

That's right, what Lao Tzu writes is not for those guys who are full of mouths.

Xu Qilin pursed the corners of his mouth with a faint smile.

……………

"The season of the year lies in spring", and the sons of heaven in all dynasties have attached great importance to agricultural production. Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the Son of Heaven has become a grand ceremony to welcome spring and plough pro-cropping, praying for a bumper harvest of grains.

For the common people, it is the hope of "planting a grain of millet in the spring and harvesting ten thousand seeds in the autumn", and the hope of not being discouraged.

Tens of thousands of Guanzhong soldiers rushed to Gan and Su before the beginning of spring in accordance with the holy decree. After a short rest, I threw myself into the labor of spring plowing and spring planting.

The fields to be cultivated have been planned, agricultural tools have been procured, and cattle and horses are all used. According to Xu Qilin's plan, the land planted this year will more than double that of last year.

Even so, there is still a lot of land waiting to be reclaimed in the vast Gansu and Su prefectures. It's just that the people who came to open up the land and rent the land have increased the cultivated land by tens of thousands of acres.

These tenants naturally have some backgrounds. or servants and slaves sent by powerful bureaucrats, or sent by big families. What they are eyeing is, of course, cotton that can make huge profits.

Wet, warm earth, peeking out of the mottled snow. After a winter of recuperation, I am now in good spirits and exuding a fresh and intoxicating spring scent.

In the cultivated field, Wang Fangyi held the handle of the plough with one hand, leaned outward, and shouted at the livestock intermittently. The two horses walked side by side, the dirt turned up on the iron ploughshare, and the neat waves in the river were neatly turned.

"Wang Changshi, you are really an expert." The soldiers who sprinkled seeds in the back couldn't help but exclaim, "This ploughed ridge is straighter than the ink line!" ”

Wang Fangyi smiled and said, "I have done farm work before, and when I was farming last year, I was familiar with this horse plough and the new plow, which is indeed a good thing!" ”

"The horse plough is fresh, this new plough has been used a lot in Guanzhong." Fu Bing straightened up and said, "It's really convenient and fast to use." ”

After a pause, he continued: "When I didn't come to Ganzhou, I thought it was a wilderness. I didn't expect this to be such a scene. ”

Wang Fangyi nodded and said, "If it was this time last year, it would be very deserted. A year has passed, and it has changed a lot. ”

The government soldier hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard that settling down here, not only can you give you enough land, but you can also rent horses and cars, and you can also borrow money from the government. ”

Wang Fangyi said with a smile: "What you heard is true, but it is not detailed, wait for a certain to tell you in detail." ”

In a field in Suzhou, Xu Qilin, as an acting magistrate, also had to perform in spring ploughing, to be precise, a performance.

It's just that the arrival of Fang Er made his performance very awkward.

One person is in charge, and the other is a morning glory, which is not a complicated operation, but Fang Er is a mallet.

Xu Qilin wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said to Fang Er dissatisfiedly: "Brother Jun, you take the cow well!" If you look at how others lead the cow, the iron ring on the cow's nose should be grasped, and the eyes should be looked forward, so that the ox walks at the same speed. ”

"Qi Lin, I'm doing a very serious job!" Fang Er turned his head with a smile on his face, "Yes, let's plow the land, let's change a good hand to help you." ”

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "What do you say you are here to make a fuss?" I haven't done this farm work before. ”

Fang Er shrugged his shoulders and said, "The people sent by the family are too noisy, they buzz in a certain ear all day long, and they are annoyed to death. While they weren't paying attention, so-and-so ran away. ”

From Ganzhou to Suzhou, you can't run far. Xu Qilin felt that Fang Er had better get into the mouse hole, so that people couldn't find it!

The two of them ploughed crookedly to the ground, Fang Er was replaced, and Xu Qilin also took the opportunity to come down to rest.

Fang Er followed Xu Qilin to the tree and asked, "Do you think my father will agree to come to Hexi to rent land?" ”

Xu Qilin pursed his lips and said, "Hanging!" Fang Xiang can't see your careful thoughts, you can take care of the land, so when will you go back to Chang'an? ”

Fang Er scratched his head and said, "But General Niu doesn't accept me, isn't this military contribution to be in vain?" ”

Xu Qilin laughed twice and said, "Who made your father a fangxiang, and who dared to accept you as a soldier casually?" You're thinking too simply. ”

Fang Er touched the mustache that had just popped out of his chin, looked at Xu Qilin and said, "Others don't dare, don't you dare?" Needless to say, I'll follow you with the army. ”

Is this what you are doing? I knew you would.

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and said, "If you are still in Ganzhou before the army leaves, I will take you with me." Maybe I can get you some military merit. ”

"That's it. It's just that this military merit, how can you get it? Fang Er also knew what Xu Qilin meant, as long as he was not taken away by the people sent by his family, he would have the opportunity to join the army.

Without waiting for Xu Qilin to speak, Fang Er stretched out his hand again and said, "Look, those two girls are here to bring you food." ”

The emperor personally cultivates, not counting the full set, and many times there are queens and palace maids who pick baskets and deliver meals!

Xu Qilin can't compare with the emperor, but he also has to go according to the ritual of spring ploughing and send food to the fields, which is one of them, as if he is industrious.

In the distance, Scarlett and Adjani both changed into coarse clothes and walked with food boxes.

Adjani's eyes were sharp, and she said, "That black guy standing next to Ah Lang seems to be Fang Er. ”

Scarlett smiled: "What, you still want to win other people's money?" ”

Adjani smiled and said, "Ah Lang said that you are not allowed to cheat, so this girl will spare this black boy for the time being." ”

"You're getting closer, but you have to talk well." Scarlett reminded: "I didn't expect there to be more people, but we can still eat, I'm afraid we have to go get some more food." ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already come closer. Adjani greeted her, called Fang Lang, and her attitude was very enthusiastic.

Fang Er didn't know that he had been deceived by the little girl, so he replied with a smile without any guilt, and then went to take the food box, opened it and looked at it, and reached out and grabbed a piece of mutton and stuffed it in his mouth.

Xu Qilin shrugged his shoulders and said to Scarlett and Adjani: "Brother XX and Brother Jun have dinner here, you two will go back and eat." ”

Without waiting for the two girls to agree, Fang Er was already with his oil hands and said vaguely: "Well, well, you go back to eat, and Qi Lin still has something to say." ”

Scarlett and Adjani looked at each other and reluctantly turned away.
