Chapter 1020

"The official family, the official family ......" At this time, outside the study, there was a whispered call from Ma Shang, which finally made Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, come to his senses.

"Come in, what's the matter?" Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, hurriedly wiped the hair scattered on his cheeks, well, Fang Cai seemed to be a little out of shape, but fortunately, only his own Zitong saw it.

"Official, Lord Shen Kuo Shen has already returned to Beijing, and he just came to the post house to live an hour ago, ...... you see" After Ma Shang entered the salute, he asked in a low voice.

"Oh? Then I really want to meet this Gewu who has been repeatedly mentioned and praised by Wang Wushan. Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, couldn't help but say with a look of anticipation. You go and pass the edict and let Shen Qing enter the palace immediately to meet him. ”

"Official, is this Lord Shen so capable? It is worth mentioning repeatedly by Mr. Wushan. Empress Meng Shi blinked and asked curiously.

"Shen Kuo this person, to Wang Wushan mentioned, I began to pay attention to this person, he was originally a native of Qiantang, Hangzhou, Jiayou Jinshi, Xiningzhong, participated in Mr. Anshi's change, Xining five years to raise Si Tianjian, on the armillary sphere, floating leakage, Jingbiao three discussions, and recommended Wei Puxiu "Fengyuan Calendar".

In February of the eighth year of Xining, after Shen Kuo returned to Beijing, Shangshu put forward 31 rectification suggestions, most of which were affirmed and adopted by the first emperor. In September, he concurrently served as the Commander of Armaments, responsible for the casting and storage of weapons.

He put forward the idea that there are six virtues in the bow, and suggested that the 'Divine Arm Bow' be made in large quantities. By May of the following year, when the ordnance superintendent reported to the imperial court, the output of weapons had increased by more than ten times......

Later, he went to Zhejiang to inspect water conservancy and errand service. Xining made Liao in eight years and reprimanded him for fighting for land. He also drew the situation of its mountains and rivers, human customs and customs, and played it for "Making the Khitan Copy".

In the following year, he was appointed as a bachelor of Hanlin and an envoy of the third division of power, and rectified the salt administration of Shaanxi. Advocate a reduction in the cost of servitude under the household. Later, he knew that Shaanxi Road Yanzhou strengthened the defense of Western Xia. ”

"He was well-read and knowledgeable, including astronomy, geography, almanac, music, and medicine. For example, the hydraulic engineering is superb, the carpentry Yu Hao, and the smelting of iron and copper, all of which are recorded in detail. He also studied medicinal plants and medicine, and wrote the ten volumes of the "Good Prescription" ......"

Listening to Zhao Xu's words in front of him, Queen Meng couldn't help but gasp. "Hearing the official say this, this is really an amazing pillar of the minister."

Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, bowed slightly. "Yes, but it's a pity that because of the defeat of Yongle City, he was involved, and then, because he was a new party, he had no chance to enter the court, so he could only live in the land of Runzhou to build Mengxi Garden, and write books and say ...... in Mengxi Garden."

"Such a talent, but I have not been able to check it, it is really my fault, fortunately Wang Wushan heard about Shen Kuo's past, so he began to have a correspondence with Shen Kuo, the two exchanged knowledge, discussed each other, and it has been a long-term friendship."

"And after Wang Wushan went to Shaanxi Road, I was suffering from the lack of good materials around me, so he not only recommended Zong Ze, but also recommended this Shen Qing's family."

"It's just that when Wang Wushan recommended this Shen Qing family at that time, he also mentioned to me that the Shen Qing family is developing a magical machine, if it can be completed, it can attract the attention of the world, and its significance is not even under the Yuan You printing technique."

Hearing this, Empress Meng couldn't help but take another breath. "Is this true?"

"At least that's what Wang Wushan told me, this is indeed what I am looking forward to, and now that he has finally come to Jingshi, I must ask this Shen Qingjia well, what kind of magical machinery he has developed, which deserves Wang Wushan's praise."

In the post house where he temporarily lived, after seeing the eunuchs beside the Son of Heaven, Shen Kuo, who was already gray, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and finally stabilized his mind, and then saluted the eunuch.

"Father-in-law, there is a matter here for Your Majesty, and I ask my father-in-law to send this thing into the palace together......

"Before our family came, Your Majesty had already explained, this is naturally no problem, come here, why don't you come over and help Master Shen carry things out?"

"Thank you father-in-law, please be lighter, this thing is very delicate, if the shaking is too large, I am afraid it will be easy to damage."

Hearing Shen Kuo's words, the eunuch hurriedly told the few careless guards to be careful. Only then did the group leave the post house and rush towards Miyagi.

And Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, waited in the hall for almost an hour, and then saw an old minister with gray hair coming towards the imperial study, and beside him, there were four powerful forbidden soldiers, carrying a heavy wooden box about one person high, and walking towards this side.

This made Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, more and more curious, and couldn't help but sit behind the imperial case and stand up.

"Old minister Shen Kuo, see Your Majesty's ......" Shen Kuo lifted his front placket, and after entering the imperial study, he saw the young king who looked like the first emperor, and couldn't help but sigh a little and fell to the ground.

"Shen Qing's family, please get up quickly, I look forward to your entry into the court, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time." The Son of Heaven bypassed the imperial case and personally reached out to help Shen Kuo up.

"Your Majesty, although the minister is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, he still cares about the Great Song Dynasty in his heart, and hopes that one day, he can continue to serve my Great Song Dynasty and His Majesty......" For the behavior of Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, Shen Kuo couldn't help but be grateful, and it was difficult for him.

He is a new party, since the battle of Leyongcheng was involved and resigned, the first emperor died, the old party came to power, and all the new parties in the DPRK were driven out of the court, at that time, Shen Kuo felt that his whole life was gloomy.

There is no longer any possibility of continuing to serve the country, so we can only place our affection in the mountains and rivers, in the books, and hope to be able to record what I have learned in my life in books for future generations to learn.

But who would have thought that a letter from Shaanxi would disrupt Shen Kuo's peaceful writing career, Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, a young man who had never known him and was famous in Bianliang, Tokyo, actually wrote to exchange knowledge with him.

At first, Shen Kuo thought that it was those pretentious young people who wanted to show off their knowledge in front of him, hoping to be able to study under his own door.

But as a result, it was not as he thought, Wang Yang's depth of knowledge actually shocked Shen Kuo, and in the letters he exchanged with him, he mentioned the Yuanyou cement, Yuanyou movable type printing, and the principle of Yuanyou alchemy, as well as the principles of various machinery, all of which impressed Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo and Wang Yang became friends in the correspondence, and the two sides exchanged their academic theories and opinions, and in the end, Wang Yang's novel concepts of mathematics, geometry, physics, and even chemistry were deeply attracted to Shen Kuo.

And when Wang Yang asked Shen Kuo to go out of the mountain for the third time and return to the dynasty to serve, Shen Kuo agreed, but before he set off,

Because Wang Yang mentioned the concept of the escapement developed by Su Song in the past, and the concept of miniaturizing the escapement to facilitate accurate timekeeping was introduced to Shen Kuo, Shen Kuo was deeply attracted by this concept.
