Volume 1: The Age of Chaos—Chapter 10: The Turning Point of History (8)
From April to July, Yanzhou changed dramatically, and the large camps of displaced people set up in various counties did not encircle the large number of people fleeing from various prefectures and counties. These refugees have brought a certain amount of pressure to Yanzhou's grain reserves, and at the same time, they have also brought huge business opportunities to Yanzhou's businessmen, Yanzhou's current idle land is undoubtedly unable to accommodate so many laborers, and before the land redemption policy was introduced, a large number of uncultivated private land could not be confiscated for the time being. As a result, some of the idle labor of these displaced people was quickly absorbed into the unfolding interstate trade. In this short period of three months, Chen Zhe's abundant grain has made four round-trips between Yinxia and Yanzhou, newly formed five horse teams of more than 60 people, and established long-term and stable trade relations with the three party tribes of Yeli, Fangdang, and Feiting.
One of the most important changes was the adjustment of administrative divisions, and at the suggestion and insistence of Li Wenge, Yanzhou Prefecture, that is, Xicheng, was no longer directly under the jurisdiction of the state capital, but a county-level administrative district was re-established with Xicheng as the center to manage all the civil affairs of Xicheng in a unified manner.
However, since the late Tang Dynasty and the Fifth Dynasty, the world has been chaotic and the king's program has been abolished, and the power of the feudal towns has greatly expanded. This situation cannot be changed for the time being until the planned reduction of the feudal domain begins.
After Li Wenge actually took control of the Great Seal of the Land in the hands of Gao Yunquan, he honestly and unceremoniously let go of his power. He divided the state into two with the Yan River as the boundary, with Fushi County to the east of the Yan River and the newly established Yan'an County to the west of the Yan River.
Since the establishment of Yan'an County, all matters in the West City no longer go through the Jiedu Shogunate, but belong to the Yan'an County Bureau. This was actually an extremely serious blow to the ethnic forces living in Xicheng, and it was also the last step taken by Li Wenge to seize power from the Gao family. The Zhangwu army has long since defected to the battalion. The civil officials of the nine counties also lost their sincerity to Li Wenge under the leadership of Li Bin and Qin Gu. The Yanzhou Jiedu shogunate, a large group of large and small civil officials and pro-generals, all the power was concentrated on the little civil affairs in the western city.
Now Li Wenge has set up Yan'an County alone, and has completely deprived this last bit of power.
Although a county office was set up, Li Wenge did not rush to appoint a county commander, and military control was temporarily implemented in Xicheng, and only the minimum law and order was maintained. The proclamation of the Zhangwu Junjiedu Mansion clearly stipulates that until the Yan'an County Office begins to exercise its powers, all private land sales and transfers are prohibited, and all transfers and transactions during this period will be considered illegal.
After the seizure of power was completed. Li Wenge moved his office from Fenglin Mountain to Yan'an County. At the same time, some basic facilities such as workshops for the manufacture and smelting and assembly of military weapons, as well as arithmetic schools, were relocated to the city, where the material conditions were better, more conducive to the procurement and transportation of various raw materials, and could greatly reduce the cost of manufacturing weapons.
In fact, Li Wenge consciously distinguished the future functions of the eastern and western cities. In his macro design, the future Yan'an County will be the political, military, cultural, and technological center of the entire Yanzhou, while Fushi County will be the future agricultural and commercial center.
Ye Qiyu and his wife have moved out of the mountain annex with their family and settled in Yan'an County. For the two mathematical talents he had worked so hard to invite, Li Wenge devoted all his efforts to teaching them modern mathematical knowledge and skills, and now Li Wenge, who has occupied the overall situation, has countless things to do every day. Even so, he had to spare at least three to four hours every day to discuss and study mathematical problems with the Ye family and his wife.
In Li Wenge's view, among all the things he has done so far, this matter is the most important one.
In the era of Li Wenge, the so-called "learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to go all over the world!" The idea is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. That was the experience and lessons of an ancient nation that had lagged behind in the field of natural sciences for hundreds of years in exchange for blood and tears. After coming to this era, Li Wenge, like many of the time-travelers in YY, fantasized more than once that he could quickly lead the people of this era to realize the great leap forward in technology by virtue of the knowledge that was 1,000 years ahead of this era, so as to realize the great leap from making iron and steel to making guns and artillery, and arm this ancient nation with the super-era productive forces of science and technology at the fastest speed.
However, it is easier said than done.
The craftsmen of this era are not unexperienced and skilled, but they are almost completely unable to achieve any technological innovation.
The reason is simple. These craftsmen were excellent, but they lacked the necessary mathematical foundation.
Whether it is modern physics or modern chemistry, mathematics must be used as a basic research and calculation tool. Li Wenge's own knowledge of mathematics may be enough to start a technological revolution, but Li Wenge is not a mathematician. Not even a smart person with a math mind. Therefore, although he has enough mathematical knowledge, he does not know how to transform this knowledge into productivity beyond his time.
There are two indispensable links in the progress of science and technology, the first is the birth of advanced scientific theories, and the second is the rise of experimental science. No matter which of these two is supported, it needs a solid mathematical foundation to support, otherwise it will be a moon in the mirror.
Li Wenge came to this era, the West was still struggling and groaning in the nightmare of the Arab Empire, and there was no ready-made technology to be introduced, and no ready-made advanced tools and weapons could be obtained from the outside world. Everything can only rely on its own scientific development and technological accumulation. In the face of such a predicament, vigorously developing mathematics was the only choice for Li Wenge.
Sometimes what seems like the stupidest solution is the only shortcut.
The joining of the Ye family and his wife has indeed made Li Wenge a treasure, and a scientist in any era will always be a scientist, which does not change depending on the amount of basic knowledge. Li Wenge firmly believes that the reason why Einstein became a scientific giant was not because he happened to discover the theory of relativity, and the logic of cause and effect is completely opposite. He was able to discover the theory of relativity simply because he was Einstein.
Newton said where he was
I can see farther because I am standing on the shoulders of giants.
—
In fact, there are countless people in the world who stand on the shoulders of giants every day, and yet they see nothing.
This is the gap between scientists and mortals.
What the Ye family and his wife brought to Li Wenge were two pairs of eyes that could see far and wide. And Li Wenge, it is enough to provide them with the shoulders of giants.
In three months, the Ye family and his wife made great progress day by day under the teaching and teaching of Li Wenge, a lame mathematics teacher. Li Wenge was both amazed and depressed by the comprehension of scientists, and what he admired was that it only took a quarter of an hour for the Ye family and his wife to memorize Arabic numerals and their ten hundred million ranking rules, and it only took them half an hour to learn the vertical form of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of the four operations, and it took two hours to master the operation of fractions and hand calculations, and it only took half a day for the couple to use such highly abstract algorithms as factorization, including the cross method. As for those fragmentary concepts, such as independent variables, dependent variables, equations, functions, positive numbers, negative numbers, real numbers, odd numbers, even numbers, etc., Li Wenge didn't know when these two people mastered the land, as if it was natural, and there was no need for him to explain at all, these concepts were naturally generated in the concept of the two people, and even one day, Li Wenge was startled by what Zu Lin wrote on a piece of paper. It was twenty-six letters of English that had been completely disrupted, and Zu Lin completely unconsciously summed up all the types of symbols he had learned in the past few days, and the first Chinese alphabet was born. As for what makes Li Wenge deeply depressed: They are all people, why is there such a big gap in the ability to accept new knowledge drops?
Later, Li Wenge finally gradually discovered some differences between the two people. Basically, Ye Qiyu has an extraordinary understanding and comprehension of all computation-related knowledge. Li Wenge even suspected that even if he taught him the general theory of relativity, the sixty-four equations that were enough to make any normal person dizzy would become clear and clear in the eyes of the former Si Tian Eunuch Tai Shi Ling. The husband is like this, but the wife is different, Zu Lin's mathematical talent seems to be more focused on modeling, this beautiful young woman is extremely sensitive to geometric shapes, and her thinking is very different from that of her obsessive husband. Taking the notes of the two as an example, Ye Qiyu's notes on the paper are like ghost drawings. No one can read it except himself, and Zu Lin's notebook paper is clear and logical, and he can almost directly use it as a lesson plan.
Li Wenge suspects that it will take less than half a year. The mathematical foundation that I have spent sixteen years accumulating little by little since the first grade of elementary school is about to be squeezed dry by this terrifying pair.
“…… The opening of this function curve is downward, the vertex is at the origin, and it can be seen from the graph that on either side of the vertical axis ......"
"'Outer (Y) axis'—" Ye Qiyu corrected.
Li Wenge, the "......", was very speechless, and tried his best to use the mathematical language that the two couples could understand to teach, but now this move is becoming more and more idiotic, and the mathematical language of the two people is becoming more and more professional, not only can accurately pronounce the pronunciation of the 26 English letters, but even the "Sigma ()", "Alpha ()", "Beta ()", "Gamma ()" and other obscure Greek letters are also pronounced without any mistakes, making Li Wenge, as a person in the 21st century, feel more and more faceless.
He reluctantly changed his words: "...... On both sides of the Y axis, there is a relatively large change in the trend change of the function curve, which causes the curve to bend, in fact, there is a point on each side of the Y axis on the curve, which cannot be seen if expressed by a simple one-dimensional quadratic function, and its change cannot be analyzed...... But once you introduce the derivative, you'll find out ...... At these two points, the second derivative of this function is 0, |..
Speaking of this, looking at the Ye family couple who were engrossed, Li Wenge paused, and said in an aggravated tone: "...... This is the inflection point of this function curve......"
"Inflection point?" Zu Lin repeated softly.
Ye Qiyu asked directly: "What is the inflection point?" ”
Li Wenge was about to answer, when there was a very soft knock on the door.
He frowned and shouted, "Come in!" ”
The door opened, and Li Hu walked in: "Big brother, the master and the servant are here." I am waiting in the main hall. ”
Li Wenge was taken aback, Li Bin was not surprised, Zhe Congruan actually ran in from all the way outside the city, but this could not be neglected. He glanced back at the Ye family and his wife, and said with a smile: "I'll go to the front to socialize, and I'll talk about it when I come back!" ”
Ye Qiyu was extremely annoyed by these trivial matters. Pouted, turned his head to continue studying the function curve, Zu Lin smiled at him apologetically, but Li Wenge didn't care at all, walked out of the inner hall quickly, and came to the main hall along the road, as soon as he entered the room, he found that in addition to Li Bin and Zhi Congruan, there was also an old man in a scarlet robe who was the same age as Li Bin sitting on the guest seat, but he didn't know him. Several other attendants were busily moving a case out of the inner hall.
See him come in. Li Bin said: "It's coming——! ”
As he spoke, he pointed at Li Wenge and said, "This is Li Huairen!" ”
The old man in scarlet clothes turned his head to look, a little smile appeared on his face, and said, "It's so young! ”
Li Bin pointed to the old man in scarlet clothes and said: "Huairen, come and see, this is the envoy of the Xuanzhao Edict, Tao Xiushi Tao Shilang of the Shangshu Military Department!" ”
It turned out to be Tao Valley......
Li Wenge was stunned for a moment, but listened to Ruan and said with a smile: "Okay, Huairen's wish is to be tasted, and the court and the lord actually sent Xiushi to personally announce the edict, which shows that it attaches great importance to it!" ”
Tao Gu smiled: "But the servant came to make fun of me!" ”
It turned out that Bianliang's edict of appointment had arrived. Li Wenge secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, before he was recognized by the imperial court, his identity was embarrassing after all. It was not bad to send a dignified soldier to Yanzhou to announce the edict, and this time the court really paid enough attention to himself.
At that moment, he saluted Tao Gu, and Tao Gu was also cold to him
Sentence. In the blink of an eye, the incense case has been set up.
Tao Gu stood up, and from the hands of his entourage, he produced the silk script of Huang Ayamian in the hands of his entourage, Li Wenge was about to step forward, but he saw this famous great poet of the fifth generation standing in the south, and said with a solemn face: "Yanzhou Jiedu Observation Judge Li Bin received the order——"
Li Bin walked to the middle of the lobby, knelt down in front of Tao Gu's robe, and said, "Minister-Li Bin——! ”
Tao Gu unfolded the edict and read: "Disciple: the use of the priest." Respectfully; It is the duty of the officials to be compassionate to the people. Therefore, the Han Dynasty and the county, Tang Yinzhou Town, are all on the Qitai Pavilion. Under the rule of Cao County, persuade Li Shu to use agriculture and mulberry, accumulate all the silk, educate the gentleman, and punish the lord. Zhangwu Army observed the judge Li, who had been in the state for a long time, patrolled the border counties, had the material to govern things, and was more sympathetic to the people's words and deeds. Let it be loyal to the country, patrol the prefecture and county, and I hope for it...... Therefore, he undertook the order of the system, and granted the Yanzhou observation and disposal envoy, and also supported the tax envoy, and Qing Qin obeyed the order, and the benefit was sincere. Can. ”
He read it in a low tone, and thanks to Li Wenge's years of sowing in the historical forum, his knowledge of ancient literature is okay, and he really understands it. However, he can still understand the appointment of officials in the future, and Li Bin has made a qualitative leap from observing the judge to observing the envoy.
Li Bin kowtowed and said: "Minister Li Bin - knock on the grace of heaven, long live - long live - long live!" ”
At this point, the decree was read out.
Tao Gu stretched out his hand to pick up Li Bin, and said with a smile: "The literary quality is half a life and seven grades, and now that the sixtieth year is suddenly vermilion, it can be regarded as a positive result!" ”
Li Bin smiled open-mindedly: "This grace is really not easy to come by!" ”
There was a bit of sarcasm and resentment in his words, Tao Gu, as a Beijing official, was naturally not easy to accept this conversation, so he only smiled and presented the holy decree to Li Bin with both hands, turned around and took the second decree, and shouted: "Luziguan patrol envoy, commander of the former battalion of the Zhangwu Army, and Xuanjie Captain Li Wenge received the order!" ”
Li Wenge learned from Li Bin's example, knelt down in front of Tao Gu, and said, "Minister-Li Wenge——! ”
Tao Gu coughed lightly and read: "Subordinates: the general's commission, Fengtian rebels; The establishment of the school captain is to abandon the imperial border. Therefore, the Qin and Han dynasties prepared the runes, and the axes of the Wei and Jin dynasties were all on the mandate of heaven, and the Huangquan was under the system, and the soldiers were organized to the army, and the Shiwu was in the Fengdi, and the Qingning was as for Sangzi, and the arrow blade was added to Kouyi. Zhangwu Army Xuanjie Captain Li, a long-term military state, once rebelled, governed the army strictly and orderly, resisted the enemy bravely and slightly, and the side was reckless, and Luguan was bloody. I am rewarded for my meritorious work, and I am able to do it...... Therefore, he was given the title of Fu Jing, promoted to the defense envoy of Yanzhou, and also the regimental training envoy of Benzhou, knew the affairs of the state, knew the military of Zhangwu, the general of Jin Zhongwu, and the Qing Qin Cheng to virtue, and Yi Yong was loyal. Can. ”
After listening to this, Li Wenge hesitated for a moment, and kowtowed: "Minister Li Wenge - knock on the grace of heaven, long live - long live - long live!" ”
He stood up, bowed and took the decree with both hands. Tao Gu turned around, took a tray containing many scrolls of paper from his entourage's hand, and said with a smile: "General Li, the senior servant is still there, Your Majesty is not good for you to give you a festival for the time being, and it is not appropriate for the Holy Decree to openly allow you to build a town alone, but Your Majesty does not want to wronged the general." This is the 36 military attachés granted to receive the edict, which is specially made for you by His Majesty's decree of the Ministry of War, although there is no name, but the establishment of a military town, imitating the military examples, a lot, all here. Please take it from the general. ”
Li Wenge was immediately overjoyed, bowed down to take it, and thanked the emperor again for his grace.
Tao Gu turned around at this time and ordered his entourage to exit the hall and wait, Zhi Congruan stood up, Li Wenge was wondering to himself, Li Bin had already retreated with interest.
Tao Gu took out another holy decree from his bosom and said, "You don't have to kneel, this is a secret edict, please listen to the edict!" ”
Li Wenge was surprised in his heart, but when he looked at Congruan, his face was calm, and his heart suddenly settled down.
Tao Gu unfolded the holy decree and read: "Disciple: the party is rampant, stealing from Yinxia, although it is not called the country, the king has been in the land for a long time, and I am remote and do not want to be inflicted on the sword soldiers; Unexpectedly, he was so crazy that he even crossed the Taiyuan Liu family, Kou my military state, and violated my pass. Today, the special purpose is to set up a camp in the north of Guanzhong in Yanzhou, to govern Yong'an, Jingnan, Shuofang, Zhangwu and the new military town, worship the Jingnan army Zheshi as the camp capital deployment, with its son Deyan and Zhangwu Army Gao as the deputy capital of the camp, grant Yanzhou defense envoy Li as the camp Mabu army capital Yu Marquis, and grant Shuofang army Feng Shi as the camp capital supervisor. Guanzhong is resting, Yanqing is safe, Xi Fuqing and so on, Qin! ”
Only then did Li Wenge come to his senses, and he thanked Ruan for his order, and then said to Tao Gu: "Xiu Shigong, please have a meal in the back hall!" ”
After settling in Tao Valley, Li Wenge walked towards the inner hall with a little excitement.
The imperial court finally admitted itself, the Gao family was finished, the fate of Yanzhou, and the fate of Li Bin's family had been completely reversed and changed by themselves.
Although he has not yet been able to become a real envoy of the festival, he is getting closer and closer to the position of the princes of this side. With the treacherous terrain, the land and population of nine counties, and an army that is gradually growing, the capital on which he depends for survival in this era is gradually becoming stronger.
If you can give me three to five years, I may be able to make the future Western Xia Empire never have a chance again......
Perhaps, with my participation, this chaotic and dark era can end sooner, right?
Li Wenge thought about it while pushing the door into the back hall.
"The inflection point - I know it - this is the inflection point ——!"
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a baritone shouting excitedly, "I see, this is the turning point......
Yes, this is the inflection point, the inflection point in Yanzhou, the inflection point in the fate of Li Bin's family, and the inflection point in his new life......
