"So Sister Ling also came with you?" Dai Yan asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What Childe said is good." Zhao Yong replied.

"Qi Guoji is in the palace, and he is also very interested in it, I wonder how the prince can find out here?" Dai Yan then asked.

"This is a new atmosphere that has never been seen before!" Zhao Yong also said with great fascination.

"Oh, in the eyes of Childe, how can this Jixia School Palace have an unprecedented atmosphere?" Dai Yan asked.

Zhao Yong got up and left the table and walked to the window, and Dai Yan also followed him. Then Zhao Yong pointed to the vast building complex near Jimen and said, "That is the Jixia School Palace!" In the entire Linzi City, in addition to the palace of the Qi Kingdom, which other building has such a majestic scene? From here, it can be seen that Qi attaches great importance to it!

The official school of Qi is the doctrine of Huang Lao, but the knowledge of Jixia is by no means only taught to Huang Lao's learning! Here, Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism and other schools can freely lecture and ask questions here.

And the scholars who come to this academy can express their academic opinions without any restraint, regardless of their academic affiliation, ideological views, political tendencies, as well as their country, age, qualifications, etc.!

This is true harmony and difference! The debate here is a debate about the fate of the world! ”

Dai Yan followed Zhao Yong's hand and looked into the distance, the bustling building complex near Jimen was indeed extraordinary! He has been in the entire Linzi City for a long time, even the original Jiang Clan's palace is not as gorgeous as this Jixia Palace!

The magnificence of the building is only the appearance, the corporal of the king of Qi is the corporal, and the attitude of attaching importance to talents is the soul!

Dai Yan couldn't help but think of Song Guo, is there a shortage of talents in Song Guo? As far as the Song Kingdom is concerned, a hundred years ago, there was Mozi, who founded the Mohist school, and then there was Hui Shi, plus Zhuangzi, who is famous today.

These talents are talents that can be passed down for hundreds of generations!

However, Mozi saved the Song Kingdom, but he was not rewarded at all. Hui Shi Xuefu five cars, but he could only go to Wei to be an official. And Zhuangzi is famous in the world, but it is still the king of Chu Wei's pursuit of talent!

It's not that the Song Kingdom is without talents, and it's not that the Song Kingdom can't produce academic ideas, but the Song Kingdom doesn't have this tradition of attaching importance to talents at all! After the Song State was the Yin Shang Dynasty, as the state guest of the Zhou Dynasty, the upper echelons of the Song State completely inherited the ruling method of "relatives and respect" of the Cheng Zhou. The whole country is controlled by the Gong clan, and the Han Shi has no way out in the Song Kingdom at all!

The Song State was clearly divided into the ruling mode with the Gong clan as the ruling class and the Han Shi as the ruling class. There is a huge disparity in identity between the two classes, and the boundaries are clear!

The ruling structure of the Song State was rigid, to what extent was it powerful? Even the state of Lu, which completely inherited the Zhou rites, had an incident of "accompanying the ministers to execute the country's orders". A retainer of the Ji family like Yang Hu, a scholar from a completely low-level background, also has the opportunity to take charge of the government affairs of a country. However, it has been more than 700 years since the Song Kingdom, but there has never been a Han scholar who has been able to sit in the ruling position of the Song Kingdom!

There is no upward channel in sight at the bottom, and the country has no vitality, how can it be strong?

Dai Yan couldn't help but feel emotional!

Then Dai Yan asked Zhao Yongdao: "The prince now knows so much about this Jixia Academy, has he found a talent in it?" Or did you come across a doctrine that the prince was interested in? ”

When Zhao Yong heard this question, he said excitedly: "What Childe said is right! In this place, I did meet a talented person! In my opinion, Shenzi is the first talent under the current Jixia, if he can go out of the palace to govern the country, his country will prosper! However, Shenzi advocates purity and inaction, and I am afraid that no one can invite him to govern the country! ”

Shenzi, that is, cautious. Dai Yan had also heard of it in his previous life, and he was a Legalist scholar who came out of the Taoist school.

Historically, Legalism is believed to have been the original founder of Qi Guan Zhong, who carried out extensive reforms in Qi State, and the experience of reform he left behind can be regarded as the germ of Legalist thought.

In the later Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various outstanding politicians emerged one after another. For example, Zi Chan, Li Kui, Shang Ying, etc., implemented law changes in various countries, and they, like Guan Zhong, were once in charge of a country's government affairs and were in charge of a country's law changes.

Although these outstanding politicians have left their own governing experience for future generations to learn from, in Dai Yan's view, these people can only be regarded as Legalist politicians, not Legalist scholars.

And Shen Dao can be regarded as the first person to theorize Legalist thought, and from this point of view, he can be called the real founder of Legalism.

The Three Jin Dynasty and the State of Qi have always attached great importance to the law, and it is not surprising that Zhao Yong, as the founder of the Prince of Zhao State, appreciated the Legalists.

Then Dai Yan asked: "I don't know if there are restrictions on lecturing in this palace?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yong replied: "As long as you have real talent and real learning, there is no limit to lecturing in it!" ”

Dai Yan didn't say anything, but the Mo family disciple who followed Dai Yan was overjoyed and said to Dai Yan: "Childe, if the Jixia School Palace really doesn't restrict lectures, then wouldn't the science you created be able to flourish in this Qi country and then spread it to the world?" ”

In order to avoid confusion, after discussing with Tian Jiu and Xu Xing, Dai Yan felt that the framework built by geometry and logic created many sub-disciplines: science.

Its expression is to learn separately. The actual meaning is to refine and classify knowledge, and form a large number of sub-disciplines and the disciplines composed of their knowledge systems are science.

When Zhao Yong heard Tangzi's words, he said to Dai Yan with admiration: "I only knew that Gongzi was a virtuous son who kept his promises, but I didn't expect Gongzi to be a scholar who could start a sect!" What kind of science is this science pioneered by Childe? ”

Zhao Yong's words are actually a kind of kind words. In his mind, Dai Yan was not much older than him, so how could he really start a science?

However, Dai Yan did not hear Zhao Yong's words. Dai Yan had debated with Wei Huishi before, and had thought about spreading science to other parts of the Song Kingdom, but no matter how hard he tried, the influence of science could only stay in a corner of Fengyi.

Now that Zhao Yong is interested in it, how can he not explain it wholeheartedly?

So he began to tell Zhao Yong about science. He first started with geometry, from the study of geodesy to talk about the general laws of geometry, and then he summarized this general law into logic, in these two steps, Zhao Yong can understand, and think that this science is very rigorous, can not find the slightest flaw, but it is the truth of the world!

Zhao Yong truly realized the depth of Dai Yan's knowledge.

However, when Dai Yan extended this logical thinking, problems began to arise constantly. When Dai Yan told Zhao Yong about physics, Zhao Yong could still understand, but he would make some rebuttals from time to time, and Dai Yan also persuaded him in front of various physical facts.

The real big problem was when Dai Yan talked about astronomy. Dai Yan's astronomical model states that people live on a huge sphere called the Earth. This huge sphere is the same as the five stars of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, all of which are planets of the sun, and they all revolve around the sun! And the moon is a satellite of the earth, revolving around the earth!

This kind of astronomical model that completely subverted Zhao Yong's thinking was unacceptable to him! After listening to Dai Yan's astronomy, he asked unceremoniously: "It is recorded at the beginning of the book that after Emperor Yao pacified the world: it is the order of Xihe, Qin Ruohaotian, the sun, moon and stars, and the time of honoring the people. And the universe of heaven and earth that Emperor Yao knows is the heaven and the earth! Does Gongzi think that Emperor Yao's statement is wrong? ”

Dai Yan replied as a matter of course: "Naturally. ”

This made Zhao Yong unacceptable, and he said: "Childe's words are ridiculous! Before, you taught me geometry, and when you talked about the axiom of line segments, you said that this is a truth that dogs can understand, and I think it is true. However, the sky is round, and this is a phenomenon that everyone can observe with their eyes, and you say that it is wrong. Why does Childe have inconsistent words and deeds? ”

Dai Yan didn't answer Zhao Yong's question, but he answered it: "Prince, what your eyes see is the round sky, but this does not mean that heaven and earth are like this!" In my opinion, the heaven and the earth that people see are round, because there is a limit to the distance that human eyes can see, and in this limit, when you look at the sky, it is as if you have drawn half a circle centered on you, which is consistent with the principle of drawing a circle with a compass!

A frog sat in a well, looked at the sky, and found that the sky was not as big as the well, so he really thought that the sky was smaller than the well. But is that really the case? Now we know the world, just like a frog sitting in a well, our eyes see that the sky is smaller than the wellhead, and we think that the naïve is smaller than the wellhead! ”

Zhao Yong's heart was shocked after hearing this, and he still said with an expression of disbelief: "You said that the earth we live in is round, how can you prove it?" ”

Dai Yan replied to Zhao Yong neatly: "The prince is right to ask this question, science needs facts to verify!" The surest way to verify that the earth is round is to use a sea boat that keeps going east, and if you can still get back to the beginning, then it means that the earth is round! But we can't do that right now, and I have a simple way to prove it.

The prince can find a sea boat by the sea and let the boat sail all the time, and the boat will eventually disappear from people's eyes. If the sky is round and the place is correct, because there is a limit to the distance your eyes can see, it must be that the whole boat disappears at the same time! But if my earth is round, then your eyes must see the bottom of the ship disappear first, then the hull disappears, and the mast disappears last!

Linzi is not far from the sea, and the prince can go over and verify it himself. Wouldn't it be time to verify whether what I said was correct? ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, he said to Dai Yan: "Since the son said so, then I will verify it in person!" ”

After he finished speaking, he asked for Dai Yan's address in Linzi, and after paying the bill, he left with his entourage.
