Chapter 86: The Technological Divide
Zhang Zhen's words were completely revealing the scars in front of him, and even rough people like Li Sizhuang were surprised, and the cold sweat came down at that time, not to mention the two people present.
Song Yingxing blushed for a moment, and soon became indifferent, looking at Liu's teacup for his refill.
Yang Hanlin was also stunned, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he understood something, his spirit was lifted, and his heart was relieved, and in a blink of an eye, the old god drank tea, and shook his head, with a look of appreciation.
"Hey!" With a long sigh, Song Yingxing sighed: "Chang Geng thought that he had already looked down on this career, after all, it was a ten-year cold window, and he was not loyal to the monarch to serve the country. ”
Yang Hanlin on the side said with a smile: "Hanlin is only a poor and sour talent, and he is unwilling to be a little official, not to mention that Brother Chang Geng is a high-ranking character." ”
Said and explained to Zhang Zhen: "The lord doesn't know, Chang Gung is also a great figure in the field, I think that there are more than 10,000 candidates in Jiangxi Province, Brother Chang Gung is overwhelming, the third place in high school, his brother Song should be promoted to the sixth in high school, and the two brothers are called Fengxin Ersong, and it is a beautiful talk for a while, but it is a pity that he will try again and again, and he will not be named to enter the palace, hey! Even if the teacher mentioned it, it was a pity, but it was a pity. ”
"So?!" Zhang Zhen was glad in his heart after hearing this, fortunately, he only won the lift, if he won the Jinshi, he would be a fish leaping over the dragon gate in the world, with Chongzhen's dilemma, this is the next Xu Guangqi Zhang Guowei, only this lifter, it is difficult to enter Chongzhen's sight.
Song Yingxing nodded and said with a smile: "What Brother Hanlin said is similar, it's a shame to say, from Shenzong to the current emperor's accession to Enke, he has repeatedly failed to succeed, but fortunately, he is unofficial and light, after Chang Geng gives up, he will finally have the leisure to explore the way of nature, otherwise how can he have the honor to write a book?" Although I am unwilling, I have some regrets, but I have no regrets! ”
"No regrets!" Zhang Zhen couldn't help but nod and sigh.
Until this time, Song Yingxing was suddenly stunned, and said in confusion: "By the way, Brother Hanlin, you just called Brother Zhang the main father?" Not your owner's young master? ”
"Hahahaha!!"
After Song Yingxing's words were finished, everyone in the room laughed, Yang Hanlin was smooth, and said with a smile: "Brother Chang Geng also knows the empress dowager!" I won't tell you, my lord has rebelled yesterday, and now he is a figure like King Chuang, not to mention the big power, over time, King Li Zicheng is nothing, don't believe it, wait and see! ”
"Ah....." Song Yingxing's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Zhang Zhen with a nervous expression.
When he came, until the beginning, he was bent on the yield of wheat against the sky, and he didn't think much about it, so that the strange appearance of thousands of people outside the village was not carefully distinguished.
Zhang Zhen took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "Mr. Song is afraid?" ”
Song Yingxing looked embarrassed and sighed: "Song Yingxing is just a small official on the side, and he has resigned and returned to the field a few years ago, and there is nothing to be afraid of, but it is a pity that he has a miscellaneous study and cannot be passed on to future generations, which is a pity." ”
Yang Hanlin smiled and said with relief: "Brother Chang Geng can rest assured of this, Zhang Guowei and Lord Zhang, do you know, that is the second grade of the dynasty, the day before yesterday, the lord let him go, and he will definitely not be embarrassed by you!" Brother Chang Geng's peace of mind is it! ”
As he spoke, he said with a smile: "It's Brother Chang Geng, I want that Zhang Guowei, after you get out, there will be reuse by the court, after you leave, you will go back to Fengxin to be a mountain village husband?" In this way, he has not buried his ability, why not abandon the darkness and follow my lord, and he will be able to live for a hundred generations in the future, Brother Chang Geng thinks? ”
Lao Yang on the side was enthusiastically beating the side drum, Zhang Zhen was very satisfied, even if he was selfish, for himself, this was unwanted, Song Yingxing must not miss it!
I don't know, I know the existence of this person at this time, this is more important than Zhang Guowei, in terms of importance, there will be no one who can compare with him, there is absolutely no one.
It's no wonder that Zhang Zhen attaches so much importance to Song Yingxing, and the knowledge and technology he brought more than 300 years later have surpassed several eras, which is no longer a cross-era high-tech that can be described, it is completely black technology, or many, many black technologies.
But what about the reality of this Da Ming? The industrial base is still limited to small workshops, basic materials, processing technology, too many and too primitive things, the world's first power, and even inferior to the West in many aspects.
Between the technology in his hands and the technology of the Ming Dynasty, there is an unimaginable gap in science and technology, if you rely on yourself, and then go to the same understanding, the same kind of advancement, not to mention the slow progress, I don't have the energy, Zhang Zhen is so concerned about Zhang Guowei, honest and capable is still secondary, and his participation in the compilation of the complete book of agricultural administration is the main reason.
Until Song Yingxing appeared, Zhang Zhen was still thinking about recruiting Zhang Guowei, he was his first assistant in science and technology, at least in the Ming world outside.
Now, Song Yingxing sent it to the door, everything is different, compared to Zhang Guowei, a court member who is the second rank of the court, a person is lifted, or he resigns for the little official, I don't know if it is the eighth grade or the person who is from the eighth grade petty official, the difficulty of recruiting is much smaller.
And there is such a book as "Heavenly Creation", which is a masterpiece that is louder than "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" in later generations, and in terms of science and technology, Zhang Guowei is far inferior to Song Yingxing in front of him.
As for the goals of the two, Song Yingxing is purely a career leader and seeks knowledge, and Zhang Guowei is completely working hard for the continuation of the Ming Dynasty and the well-being of the people, and the goals of the two are very different.
Zhang Guowei can be called great, while Song Yingxing's is too pure.
In terms of being proficient in the industry, Zhang Guowei, as a second-class member, has to take into account the people's livelihood and officialdom in the world, it is difficult to be specialized, it is good to understand all aspects, and I don't know how far he will be thrown away by Song Yingxing.
In fact, what Zhang Zhen didn't know was that Song Yingxing was the first scientist to record the metal zinc, and Tiangong Kaiwu not only pointed out that zinc is a new metal, but also recorded in detail the smelting method of zinc, as well as zinc-copper alloy, that is, brass, so that ancient China was the only country in the world that could smelt zinc on a large scale for a long time after that.
Watching Song Yingxing fall into deep thought, Zhang Zhen had a heartfelt joy.
As long as he is brought under his command, his goal of industrialization will inevitably be further accelerated, and with Zhang Guowei's assistance, it will be even better.
As long as the industrialization mode is opened, coupled with the full development of centralized power, it is changing with each passing day, and the so-called Western powers will not be able to catch up even if they know about it.
