"Go and bring "Kindergarten Qionglin".

The first thing Zhang Dian did when he returned home was to instruct his subordinates to find the newly published Mengshu.

No one in the Zhang family dared to ask what it was, but fortunately, it was also collected in Zhang's study, and after a while, the four fifteen-volume "Kindergarten Qionglin" were placed in front of Zhang's desk.

Flipping through it from beginning to end, Zhang Dian put the book down with a frown.

"Kindergarten Qionglin" is from Hengqu Academy, revised by Han Gang, and is divided into four parts: idiom stories, poems and songs, physical geography, and daily medical treatment.

The idiom story department is mainly a small story in history, as well as the origin of some idioms, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Xia Shang Zhou, and the new discoveries about oracle bone inscriptions.

Poetry and songs, of course, will not be difficult and profound, but some simple and popular poems, such as hoeing day noon; Goose goose goose; Looking up at the bright moon, bowing his head and thinking of his hometown, the song of the dead vine and old tree and the crow was also selected, but the author is anonymous.

The Department of Physical Geography is the specialty of Qi Science, and now Shilin, as long as you see the word nature, you will immediately associate Qi Science. Among them, there are various attempts in the nature of heaven and earth, as well as more than a dozen simple and easy experiments, which not only prove the correctness of the words in the book, but also attract students' interest in qi.

And daily medical treatment is Han Gang's specialty. From daily cleaning, to disease prevention and control, as well as first aid, first aid and treatment of accidental injuries such as drowning, burns, and bruises, it has been said again. The process of the discovery of cowpox is also written on it, and even in the article, he admits that the virus is misnamed and makes no secret of his mistakes.

Judging from the content, this is a Mongolian book. Detached from the scope of the Pentateuch, the text is simple and easy to understand, and the content is aimed at applying what they have learned, so that students will not become a big measure of dead reading, and will not let people 'stretch their feet' in the car and boat.

But in this way, it will be difficult to stop Han Gang from taking an additional test in the exam.

From the title of the book, it can be seen at a glance that this is a 'kindergarten' Qionglin, not a qi study. Han Gang wants to add a general knowledge test in the test solution, and the question will only be selected in "Kindergarten Qionglin" for children, how many scholars have the face to object? The nine-year-old and ten-year-old son can still talk eloquently, but the scholar who has been reading for ten years is afraid of him like a tiger and makes people laugh.

Although once it starts this time, it will not be "Kindergarten Qionglin" in the future, but probably "Nature". But Han Gang is only taking some common sense now, and the content is not as controversial as Jingyi, with experiments as evidence, he can't find fault at all. There's really no way to stop it at a huge cost.

Zhang Dian got up, pushed open the door, and walked into the courtyard.

The starry sky on a summer night doesn't seem to be as bright as it used to be. And the galaxy, which is supposed to be across the sky, is so dim that it is almost impossible to see clearly.

Zhang Dian is used to the smoky life in winter, but now even in summer, as long as the wind is not blowing, the sky seems to be covered with a thin veil.

The iron and steel workshops and iron workshops in the northern suburbs of the capital are the foundation of a strong country, and they are also the source of the great increase in the demand for throat-clearing and cough-moistening medicinal materials such as Chuanbei and loquat in the capital.

The steel produced each month in the country is the same as the year 10 years ago, and the quality is even better. According to Han Gang, once the steam engine was invented and put into use, the iron factory could be powered by steam, and the steam hammer could make steel more easily - this is not only what Han Gang said in the court, but also the future described in the "Travels in the Nine Domains".

This is the change brought about by Qi Science and Han Gang. The officials who managed the workshop's techniques had all become disciples of Qi science. Han Gang can even give those craftsmen's children an identity, as long as they learn the knowledge of Qi Studies, not the New Meaning of the Three Classics. And after several years of study and experience, the skills of those craftsmen even surpassed their father and brother.

The potential power of Qi is expanding day by day, but in the court, it can't be seen for a while.

Zhang Dian doesn't care about the decline of Xinxue and the expansion of Qixue, Xinxue is not his hard work, it is not his Xinxue, but watching Han Gang so patiently cut the foundation of the New Party bit by bit, as an opponent, this is really a very depressing thing.

The mathematical problems in "Nature" are dizzy to read, and those rare characters in the oracle bone inscriptions are used as so-called algebraic symbols, which are as incomprehensible as a book from heaven. If Han Gang added the Tianyuan Technique to the Jinshi Sect...... No, it is to give the radius, to let people calculate the volume of the ball, do not know how to calculate the formula, how many people can make it?

Wang Anshi tried to start directly from the Jinshi Science and Rite Department, said that the first emperor was moved, and changed the poem to Jingyi in one fell swoop.

And Han Gang is not as radical as Wang Anshi. Start with the temple examination and examination methods, and then add the content of various subjects, and make changes little by little. Even now, there is no hasty decision to change the content of the scriptures from Xinxue to Qi Xue. It's just an additional test, just a 100-point system, but it is a firm step by step shaking the foundation of the new learning, and at the end, it is naturally a complete change that has been completed smoothly.

Zhang Dian looked at the dim full moon, he had already experienced the reason why Wang Anshi wanted to break the net with Han Gangyu back then.

……………………

"Privy Secrets Zhang is definitely going to jump to his feet."

In Han Gang's study, Feng Congyi said with a smile.

As soon as he arrived in Jingshi, he heard this interesting news from Han Gang's mouth.

Although Han Gang only planned to change the subjects of the exam first, and it was only an additional exam, Feng Congyi did not think that Han Gang was conservative. Everyone would have thought that Han Gang would attack the imperial examination step by step, and now although he would not compete with Xinxue for the identity of an official school, it would be a matter of time. Talented people, who doesn't know the truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace?

"It's okay to object." Han Gang didn't care.

Feng Congyi nodded: "That's right." When the time comes, you will not suffer a loss if you bargain. ”

Han Gang smiled slightly, Feng Congyi, who had just arrived, still didn't understand too much the significance of him and Su Song mastering the entire political affairs hall.

He is now the prime minister. Acting aggressively will certainly attract counterattacks from his opponents, but when he acts steadily and carefully, the number of opponents will not be too large. As long as the bed has not been removed, most people are still willing to continue sleeping, ignoring the inevitable ending. This is something that Zhang Dian can't change. Just look at what is on the table.

With Han Gang's gaze, Feng Congyi's gaze also fell on the desk.

"This is ......" Feng Congyi looked at a pile of thick volumes, not like an official letter.

"It's a row!"

“…… It can't be poetry and songs, right? Feng Congyi asked with a smile.

Han Gang laughed, "Few people will give the wrong gift." ”

Feng Congyi nodded understandingly, "But there aren't many gifts for closing eyes." ”

"Indeed." Han Gang smiled and continued to be helpless.

In ancient times, there was a style of writing and fighting for fame, Zuo Sixian "Sandu Fu" and Zhang Hua, and Liu Xian's "Wenxin Carving Dragon" into Shen Yue, which is a famous example.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a matter of the scroll. Scholars who come to the official palace often bring their proud works to the concierge of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, hoping to get favor, so that they become famous in one fell swoop, or become famous on the yellow list.

This trend still exists today. However, if everyone knows that if you want to enter the house of the two prime ministers of the Soviet Union and South Korea, poetry is useless, and there is only one kind of best scroll, which can be published in "Nature".

Nature has been published in the world for many years, and now it is widely distributed by mail, with more than 10,000 corresponding members, and less than 200 have been granted. Newsletter members only have a brass buckle as a logo, and newcomers receive one when they subscribe to the year's periodical. But only members who have published papers can get membership status and get a silver badge.

The silver medallion, handmade by the master craftsmen of the palace, is extremely exquisite. On the round coat of arms, a circular motif representing the earth is divided by latitude and longitude lines, and a polished sapphire is embedded in the center. The copper buckle of the corresponding member is also round, with only three vertical and horizontal longitude and weft lines, and no gemstones, which are completely cast by the mold.

Having a silver badge of the Natural Science Society is a stepping stone to open the door of the prime minister's house.

It's a pity that there are very few people who can do this.

"Brother, don't worry, there will definitely be more in the future."

"It's not that simple." Han Gang shook his head, "After all, there are still few people who read. ”

"There are always millions of people in the world who read."

"It's still too little. The official is one in a hundred, and the jinshi is one in a thousand, but the members of the Nature Society are one in a thousand. How many do you say? Han Gang asked rhetorically.

"Although there are few books in the township, there are many in the city, as long as the books used in the study of qi in Mengxue, there will definitely be more and more members of the Natural Science Society in the future."

Han Gang was pleased with his cousin's keenness: "That's what I said. We can't hope for today's scholars, but only hope that those students in Mengxue will have better achievements in the future. ”

With the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, the number of citizens in the city was not small. In terms of proportion, it does not exceed 20%, but the number of people has reached 10 million. In this world, it is comparable to any country.

Children in people's families do not have to be like children growing up in the countryside, at the age of five or six, they have to go to the fields with their parents, or go to collect pigweed, collect firewood, or herd cattle and sheep for others, mainly to do apprenticeship, or do some odd handy, but that is also after the age of nine or ten. So by the way, I went to school and became an apprentice who could write and calculate, and it was much easier to find an errand.

For Han Gang, compulsory education is still difficult, but in the city, it is enough to promote the enrollment of all young children, even if it is only three years, it is enough to cultivate the foundation of qi science.

Feng Congyi has always been Han Gang's spokesperson, and Han Gang's words and deeds are seen by Feng Congyi, and how can he not understand Han Gang's goals and means:

"Now Guan Ximeng learns, all use Hengqu Mengshu, read "Three Character Classic" at the age of six, learn "Arithmetic" at the age of seven, and read "Kindergarten Qionglin" at the age of eight and nine.
