[6,000 words big chapter, yesterday's copy.] 】

The Han family's mansion in Gongzhou City was an industry purchased by Han Gang in the early years.

At the beginning, Han Gang, together with Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu, included a large part of the land in the newly established Gongzhou Prefecture Zhilongxi County.

There are not a few in the city and outside the city. Moreover, the three of them also built a house here and got the endorsement of the first emperor Xizong in the name of the imperial gate, legitimizing their behavior.

After the pacification of Hehuang, the Han family built a house in the city.

However, as Han Gang left Longyou and left Kansai, Han Gang's parents also moved to Zhuangzi in the countryside, and the house was empty.

Only when the family comes to the city and has no time to go out of the city and return home, will they come here for a day of rest.

There are not many people in the mansion, only three families of more than a dozen servants, who sweep the courtyard and maintain the house and back garden.

But when Han Cheng returned to this mansion late at night, he found a red light on the main courtyard from a distance, and it was obvious that it was brightly lit at the moment.

When he came to the door with surprise, he saw a young man greet him, and he saluted from a distance.

"My brother is back."

Seeing the person coming, Han Cheng immediately turned over and dismounted, and said in surprise: "It's nothing that I came back, but you, third brother, when did you come back?" ”

It turned out to be his cousin Han Shouzheng.

Han Shouzheng is actually Feng Congyi's eldest son, because Feng Congyi is now nominally succeeded to the Han family and is Han Gang's younger brother, so his children have also entered the big row together.

However, when the name was given, it was not like Han Gang's children, who all used the golden character next to it - because this side came after Han Gang's name - but used another character to keep the character.

Han Shouzheng said, "The little brother has just come back. ”

Han Cheng took Han Shouzheng's hand and asked affectionately, "Is it okay to walk on the road?" ”

Han Shouzheng said: "It's okay, but there is a section of roadbed on the Yongning side that was washed away by water and stopped for a whole day." ”

Han Cheng frowned when he heard this, coming from Qinzhou to Xihe Road, Yongning County is a must-pass place, once the railway traffic between Qinzhou and Gongzhou is interrupted, I don't know how many people's trips will be delayed and how many businesses will be affected.

He hurriedly asked, "Has Yongning County sent someone to repair it?" ”

"Brother rest assured. There were people from the county and the surrounding three townships, and by the time the younger brother and his party passed, there were already more than 2,000 people. ”

There are also factories and many granges in Yongning, and most of the external communication depends on the railway, and if the railway traffic is suddenly interrupted, the county market will not be able to open.

However, only Gongzhou can enjoy the convenience brought by the railway. If you go anywhere else, you will inevitably go over the mountains. This time, most of the expedition team from the Beijing division was trying to determine the route and try to connect Lanzhou and Gongzhou. Then take Lanzhou as the center, together with Lingwu, Xining and Ganliang.

Among them, the line of the railway from Lingwu to Lanzhou was determined two years ago, and it is already under construction, and Ganliang, that is, the railway connecting the interior of the Hexi Corridor, has been repaired, but the section from Liangzhou to Lanzhou has not even been determined, and the section of the railway from Lanzhou to Xining Prefecture near Qinghai has not been determined.

However, once the railway system connecting Ningxia, Ganliang, Xihe, and Qinfeng is completed, the economy, population, and military of the entire western region will be screwed together, which is what Kansai, including Hangang, wants to see.

"I hope it can be repaired sooner, otherwise it will be a mistake for many people." Han Cheng said, and asked again, "Third brother, did you go to Qinzhou and see the fourth uncle?" ”

Han Shouzheng shook his head and walked in with Han Cheng, "Father happened to see the second uncle, but I didn't see it." However, the younger brother participated in several exchange meetings in Qinzhou and gained a lot. ”

When Han Shouzheng talked about the exchange meeting, an innocent smile appeared on his face.

Han Cheng saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart that this cousin really likes mathematics and physics.

But if this continues, he won't know if he will take the exam next year.

Han Shouzheng is now a member of the Ming Arithmetic Subject, and he is preparing to take next year's exams. However, in the Natural Society, it is only a probationary member.

Although he is a bit talented in arithmetic, compared to other disciplines, mathematics and science can be said to be full of talents, and there are countless people.

The subject of Ming Arithmetic is to select talents for the purpose of meeting the financial needs of the imperial court, and the examination subjects do not involve the frontier topics of mathematics and physics, but there are many practical examination questions.

Han Shouzheng has been cultivated since he was a child, and after 20 years of exposure to it, he was born in a Ming arithmetic subject, which is a matter of exploring for him. But if you want to get an excellent paper under the competition of mathematical and physical scholars all over the world, you have to put in more efforts.

However, Han Cheng didn't dare to underestimate his cousin.

If he just wants to enter the Nature Society, he can just ask his uncle to provide the funds. Even without asking for money from his family, Han Shouzheng can fund several researchers with his pocket money. Moreover, with the power of the Han family, it is enough to find two full members who will definitely be able to publish papers and directly exchange the qualifications of a sponsor - in this world, too many people are willing to offer their research, just to have a relationship with the Han family.

Even if you don't use such dirty methods, it's one way to do research and fund others at the same time. There are many well-funded researchers who conduct their own research while funding the research of others. Not only did he quickly enter the ranks of full members, but at the same time, the chances of getting the silver badge were much higher than others.

But Han Shouzheng never did that, but seriously studied, studied, participated in every level of exchange meetings, and moved towards his goal step by step.

For this son who has no intention of family business, Han Cheng's fourth uncle still values it, and Han Cheng reads the letter from Jingli, and his father also praises this nephew.

And Han Cheng himself, although he is one step faster than Han Shouzheng, knows his own family affairs best, no matter what, he is a trick. Even his essay published in the Nature Qimin Supplement was inspired by his father.

According to the current rules, Han Cheng has to at least give his father a co-first author, or according to his father's words, when more papers are published in the real room in the future, as the leader of the real room and the inspirer of the paper, he must give him the corresponding author.

Strictly speaking, Han Cheng can be regarded as a member who cheated, and he really has no face to be arrogant in front of his cousin who is serious about his studies.

"Are there any extravagant characters in the exchange meeting in Qinzhou?" Han Cheng put away his thoughts and asked.

"There are several, and the younger brother has several questions that he can't do, so I will understand it after asking them." Han Shouzheng's eyebrows fluttered, "One of them is just a reserve member. ”

"If you can make the third brother say yes, then you must be qualified to get the bronze badge."

Han Shouzheng's expression darkened, "I'm just a probationary member. ”

The status of the probationary members as a whole is very important because of the large number of probationary members. 、

However, the individual among the probationary members is not so important, also because of the large number of probationary members.

Although they can also be regarded as members of the society, the probationary members are only registered in the military state branch, and their files do not need to be sent, just like those talents, their family status and background are only stored in the state and county cabinets.

Only by lifting people will they start to be noticed. In the state and county, the members of the council who can be elected are at least the number of people. Only when you can raise people, can you enter Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, and can become a candidate for the parliament, then you need to file your name in Beijing.

Similarly, only when you become a regular member, you will be registered with the Kyoto General Association, and you will be given your own personal number, a badge with your name number engraved, and a preliminary membership card with a white paper cover and back cover will be replaced with a membership card with a sheepskin cover.

From treatment to equipment, there is indeed a world of difference between preparation and formality.

"If it weren't for the third brother, you would have been too strong, and you would have taken the bronze badge a long time ago." Han Cheng pretended to blame his brother and comforted him, and said, "Reserve members are also members. ”

Han Shouzheng sighed, "After all, it can't be compared." ”

"Third brother, what you said is not right. There are quite a few members who have risen from the reserve membership, and now there are many people like you, the third brother, whose talent is not inferior to that of the member, and only owes a little luck. Although some talents are a little worse, they can also inspire the propaganda of qi science, popularize the way of things, and wait again, and it is also possible to be strong. There are so many places where they can make a difference, but don't underestimate people. ”

"Strong momentum......," Han Shouzheng sneered, "It's the council!" ”

Probationary members are also members, as long as they are members who actively participate in the activities of the society, in fact, they are secretly recorded, these are members who are expected to join the society, and they are indispensable for the development and growth of the society in the future, even if they cannot be formal members, they can also contribute to the society, and many things within the society cannot be completed by members, and probationary members are a good supplement. And most importantly, they play an indispensable role in local elections. This point is clear to outsiders, and it is impossible for the Han family not to understand. But Han Shouzheng just didn't think so. In a simple heart, there is no room for shadows.

Han Cheng looked at it and shook his head in his heart.

The family asked Han Shouzheng to take the exam, just so that he could be qualified to become a member of the state legislature, and when he was older, he could work the big council.

This is not a difficult matter, and even without the power of the Han family, Han Shouzheng only needs to show his identity.

"Third brother, fourth uncle is still looking forward to you being able to pass the exam, and then come back to be a councilor."

"Little brother knows." It's just that I don't like it.

Han Shouzheng didn't say the last sentence, but his expression was already very clear.

Han Cheng frowned, "If you really don't want to be the third brother, the fourth uncle won't force it." ”

Han Shouzheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then who will run for election?" ”

"Anyone can do it." Han Cheng said, "Almost none of the scholars in Gongzhou are not members of the society, as long as the internal communication is good, anyone can be selected...... Not to mention Gongzhou, the whole Guanlong is like this. ”

"But what about the outside road?" Han Shouzheng asked,

"Don't worry." Han Cheng shook his head at Han Shouzheng again in his heart.

One of the advantages of Han Shouzheng is that he is single-minded, but the same is true of his disadvantages, he has an understanding of family affairs, but he is only general, and he never thinks deeply.

It's not good to think about it, without the power behind it, how can the natural society develop and maintain?

The purpose of the establishment of the Nature Society was to cooperate with local elections, and the two complemented each other.

'Only those who have evil intentions will be afraid of the world's inquiry. ’

'Emperor Taizong gave people a precept to study astronomy, a precept from traitors who were to blame and bewitch the foolish people, and a precept from the world to gain insight into things and understand that it was just a lie-mongering of the ancients to be ordered by heaven. ’

'The Son of Heaven is also a mortal, and the strong are the strongest. If the Son of Heaven is an extraordinary man, how can he still use mortal medicine. ’

Bold outspokenness like this can often be heard in the Gakkai. Even if something rebellious is said in the society, there are prime ministers who will block the wind and rain. However, in the past few years, the members of the society have become accustomed to being stupid and bold, and dare to say anything.

But what if the future Nature Society fails to control the Great Council? With what they say, how many people will lose their heads?

Fortunately, this possibility does not exist.

In the entire Guanlong area, the number of probationary members accounts for 30% of the world, and basically a scholar is a member of the society, and it is very easy to manipulate the election.

As for other places, the power of the Nature Society is not so exaggerated, but it can occupy half of the country. Even in Luoyang, where the least, one-third of Xiucai joined the society.

After all, it is very simple to become a reserve member, as long as you are a showman, the membership fee will be returned, and at the same time, there is another place to make friends.

However, in the past, the poor measures were big, and now they are called Xiangxiucai. On the Luoyang side, the Xiucai who joined the society were basically from poor backgrounds, and their net worth added up may not be comparable to Wen Yanbo's family.

Poor people can't climb into the wealthy and nobles, and most of the talents can't get into the exchanges between the children of the Zhu Sect. In the past, they could only bow down to the Shilin mastered by the patriarchs and obey orders honestly.

Nowadays, the only meeting place in the world that does not follow the door and allows the low-level scholars to communicate with the upper class is the local natural society. If there is a place for equal communication, not many people will be willing to make dogs for superior people.

The charm and cohesion of the Nature Society, which is based on the concept of recognizing nature and benefiting the world, cannot be compared with the schools that only teach the scriptures. What's more, who can compete with the Natural Society for financial resources?

From financial resources to connections, including ideas, they are all unlearnable from other schools.

How many donors can Xinxue find? Can Luo Xue gather so many scholars to discuss the scriptures?

Neither!

The way of nature itself has a charm that far exceeds the study of scriptures, and behind the natural society are the richest people in the world.

Moreover, more and more of these wealthy people are defecting to the Nature Society, not only because they hope to use money to open the door to the homes of the natural society, but also because the Natural Society is preparing for the third national congress/congress to discuss the patent bill, which will protect the interests of all investors.

Think about it, you are born with half of the benefits of the research results of the people you are funding, and if this result is translated into reality, it may mean millions of 10 million, or even 100 million. But if there is no patent system, others will learn and learn, and these benefits will be gone, at least most of the income will be lost.

But on the other hand, if the country implements the patent system, and you can get the patent smoothly, it will be a unique business for decades.

The learning of his own family, which is not a broom self-cherishing? Even the daughter-in-law is not passed on to the daughter. However, the benefits of the patent system are much stronger than those brought by the broom.

Han Cheng understood that this was where his father was confident that he could control the Great Council.

If someone has money, power, and soldiers, how can they not control a big council?

Without speculation, Han Cheng and Han Shouzheng's chat became very brief, and soon the two said goodnight to each other and went back to their rooms.

The chat with the nerd at home made Han Cheng worry about the family's arrangements for him, thinking that he would mention a few words to Feng Congyi when he saw him in a few days.

It may hurt the face of my uncle and cousin, but the layout of the family is more important. Just like the face of learning and learning the system on both sides of the scale today, Han Cheng chose a more important and more worthy system.

When I returned to my room in the East Courtyard, it had been cleaned.

There was a tea stove outside, and Han Cheng's cronies slept here, waiting for the summons at any time.

The furnishings in the room are simple, a desk, a bookshelf, and a bed. It looks plain, but clean enough.

Pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are neatly placed on the table, and there are a pile of brand-new books on the shelves. There is also Nature and sub-journals for the most recent year.

The bedding in the room was new, freshly roasted and still hot.

Han Cheng took a hasty shower, but he didn't want to go into the quilt immediately, so he casually pulled out a book from the shelf.

After looking at it, it turned out to be "Sutra".

In the last two years, under the umbrella of Nature, a sub-journal has been issued.

Since it is named "Sutra", its content is clear at a glance.

Han Cheng flipped through it casually, and none of them made him look at them twice. They are all articles that try to relate the content of Gewu to the Confucian classics.

However, Han Cheng knew very well that the significance of this "sub-journal" to qi science was extremely important.

The Qi Science founded by Zhang Zai originally had great flaws in the scriptures, and it was not as strict as Luoxue and Xinxue, and the Gewu faction founded by Han Gang didn't matter if they lost the scriptures.

However, in this world, after all, the Confucian classics are still indispensable, and it is impossible for Qi to leave all the classics such as the Analects, the Three Rites, and the Yi behind - although there is no need to be distracted to study the Confucian classics in the context of Qi and the study of things.

You must know that in the first subject of Jinshi, Qi has not been able to replace Xinxue, precisely because of the defects in the scriptures.

Otherwise, with the control of the court in the first vein of qi over the years, Wang Anshi can do the first year of junior high school, and Han Gang can do the fifteenth.

In terms of scripture, Han Gang's level is not enough, and the level of his classmates is not enough, although Qi has become the first school in the world, but that is the credit of the Gewu school, and in the direction of scripture, there has not been much improvement.

Otherwise, there would never be no way to replace Xinxue and occupy the examination room of Jinshi - this is not because Han Gang takes into account his father-in-law's feelings, but he really can't do it.

If Qi Science wants to challenge the Jinshi Branch, which is entrenched in Xinxue, there must be a "Three Classics and New Meanings" of Qi Science, Zhang Zai's "Zhengmeng" is not a classic biography, and "Yi Shuo" is also lost. There is still a big distance from Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing and other people, who gathered the painstaking works created by the outstanding disciples under them.

Therefore, under the umbrella of "Nature", there is a journal of "Sutra", which is not only to contribute to the part of Qi Sutra, but also to attract more people to join.

Perhaps the part of Confucianism taught by Qi Science is actually full of errors and omissions in the eyes of everyone who is proficient in the classics. But this problem also made them jump from new learning to qi science, and the most difficult step would only be their discipline.

This is a door opened by Qi for the old Confucianism, as long as you throw away the festival, you can enter the house through the door. And the Confucians, who have lost their temperament, are now very happy to brush their papers.

Other schools of thought regard the writings of the founders as a guideline, and do not dare to change even if there are mistakes or omissions, but cover them up with various far-fetched explanations.

Just like everyone in Confucianism nowadays, they all use the Nine Classics out of flowers, and there are seven or eight interpretations of the same sentence, all of which follow their own theories. When their disciples came out, they used their writings to explain their views.

And Qi Xue doesn't care about the authority of the predecessors at all, and it is common to tinker with theories, which is to claim that one generation is better than the next, and what is there to maintain the authority of the ancestors?

Even if someone points out that there is a problem with the current theory, it doesn't matter, and it will be okay to change it in the future.

Therefore, as long as the new edition of the commentary can be self-consistent with the Nine Classics and conforms to the principles of Qi, it will basically be accepted.

In the past few years, the paper published in the "Nature Sutra" has helped to fill a lot of loopholes in Qi science, and it has also made the die-hards in the new school more and more violently attack Han Gang and the Natural Society for this kind of undisciplined behavior.

It's just that Han Cheng understands these benefits, but after he sees it, he still can't lift his spirit to take a second look.

It's really boring and uninteresting.

It's even more boring than math.

Han Cheng has a headache with mathematics and physics, but he still earnestly learns and understands it, because it is really useful.

His father was good at observation and reasoning, but he was too flawed in mathematical proofs. So he has always been in Nature, encouraging people to study mathematics and physics.

According to what Han Cheng heard from his father, algebra is indeed unique, as if a closed window is being pushed open, allowing people to see a completely different scenery from the past. But it's not close. As a mathematical tool, it's too superficial. Now that people are working on mathematical topics, especially the mathematical interpretation of gravity, they need better mathematical tools that his father could not provide.

In order to make up for his father's regrets, and for his own research, Han Cheng learned the latest mathematical problems.

But the scriptures are just a layer of camouflage for the object.

Those who want to take the Jinshi exam will take a look at it more, and maybe from the next subject, they will have to change from the new school to the qi study. But Han Cheng didn't want to be admitted to the Jinshi, and he wasn't even interested, he was already living a good life now, and there was no need to waste his time and brains.

Han Cheng put down the periodical, took out his notebook and wrote down a few strokes casually, turned back to go to bed.

Tomorrow, I will go back to Zhuangzi in the countryside first, ask my grandparents how they are, and when my uncle arrives, I will talk to him about the third brother.

But Han Cheng didn't expect him to see his uncle so soon.

Feng Congyi almost kicked Han Cheng's door open.

When Han Cheng sat up sleepily, Feng Congyi had already grabbed the side of the bed,

"Your grandfather is dying, so I'll go to Jingshi today."
