Chapter 772: What is Technology?

As the so-called country will die out of the demons, in the early years of political peace, Yang Jian's main garden made, listened to the Xu official Du Gongcai to say that Ruzhou has a land to place rice fields, until it was Lotte ginseng turned his head, Jingxi, Jingdong, Hebei and other places have already been harmed by the scourge, countless displaced people, poor and helpless to sell children and daughters.

At present, even if Yang Jian has fallen, the matter of clearing the land deed and returning the land can not be completed in a year and a half, and in the past ten years since the beginning of the political career, many of the parties have passed away, which makes the matter of returning the land more and more complicated.

Biandu is prosperous, but it is only Biandu prosperous, that is Yang Jian and the Beijing officials in order to create a false appearance of prosperity and peace for the Son of Heaven, and confuse the Son of Heaven to paralyze themselves.

It was precisely because of the large number of displaced people that it was easy for Tu Si, who had been instructed, to do things smoothly, but in more than half a month, more than 300 children from the ages of seven, eight and ten were recruited.

These children are either from homeless families or homeless orphans, who don't know what the Academy of Sciences means, some of them were directly given a cooking cake by Tu Si, and some of them were sent by homeless people who saw a recruitment notice and sent their children who could not afford to raise them.

In a grange outside the city of Biandu, there is a four-character plaque of "Knowledge College" hanging in front of the gate, more than 300 children are standing in the courtyard in a neat line, with a pair of big and good eyes, looking at this newly built grange, the eyes are all good, and even a little panicked, but none of them dare to make a noise, just waiting.

Every 10 people have lived in a room, and everyone has been given a bedding and a wooden bed to sleep on their own, and three meals a day with porridge, rice, and vegetables, which these children could never have imagined before.

The ancients started their affairs early, these children were born poor, and the children of poor families were already imprinted in everyone's hearts, these children started to be good, what does this Academy of Sciences do? What kind of work do you don't let yourself do, and what do you do to support yourself?

These children were recruited, and at first they were not assigned to do any work, but the Zhuangzi was divided into several areas, and the children were given turns to clean and teach the children the simplest knowledge of the army, such as the formation of soldiers.

Because of this, the more these children cherish their life here, but the better their hearts become, and what this academy recruits them to do.

I used to be a helper by Li Liang's side when I was in Pingyu, and then I have been following Lotte's side, after a long time, Tu Si knows Lotte's temper, although he still has a little bit of the habit of being a helper, but he is still a one-eyer when he is influenced by Lotte.

Knowing Lotte's principle of doing things, and what Lotte ordered, Tu Si didn't dare to be the slightest bit lazy.

Although I don't know what happened outside, the children's hearts are still innocent, and the more the academy doesn't let them do anything, the more guilty they feel, and the soldiers who perform the drill team are also very serious and hardworking.

……

Today, the atmosphere in the academy suddenly became tense, and everyone's facial expressions became serious, nervous, and excited.

Because of the tense atmosphere, the children in the grange also became nervous, and even a little nervous and at a loss.

After breakfast this morning, the children were lined up, as if waiting for someone to come.

Halfway through the hour, in the eyes of the children, I saw a carriage entering the academy under the escort.

After the carriage stopped, Lotte stepped out of the carriage.

"I've seen Master Hou!" After finishing the study, someone came out early and hurriedly bowed in the garage.

After receiving Lotte's waiver signal, Tu Si, who was accompanying the car, said to hundreds of children: "Don't meet the Hou Ye yet, our Hou Ye is the Pingyu Hou Le Hou Ye who led the army to destroy the Western Xia and returned the Mao De Emperor of this dynasty!" ”

"Le Qingtian ......"

"Lord Le Hou ......"

……

led the troops to destroy the Marquis of Western Xia, who didn't know who in the Great Song Dynasty didn't know; dismissed the public field, dismissed Yang Jian and a group of henchmen, and even judged the case like a god, and a few people in Biandu did not know; There is a Le Qingtian singing in Kaifeng, and there are a few children in the surrounding states and counties of Biandu who can't sing.

At this time, hearing Tu Si's words, many children couldn't help but scream, the person in front of them turned out to be Le Hou Ye Le Qingtian, a pair of eyes immediately released a light full of worship, and at the same time, their hearts became more and more nervous, and they all bowed and said: "I have seen Le Hou Ye ......."

Stretching out his hand to signal for exemption, looking at the childish faces of pets, Lotte showed an amiable smile and asked, "Are you used to living here?" ”

These children are accustomed to seeing the rich and powerful people in Biandu City, and they know that those powerful people all look like they have nostrils facing the sky, especially those subordinates, seeing their own people shouting loudly to drive away, if they are slow, they will inevitably be beaten and scolded, but they didn't expect the Le Hou Ye I saw today to be so kind and approachable.

"There's food and drink, and new clothes to wear......

After Lotte's words fell, a bold child shouted.

"Hmm!" Lotte nodded and asked the child, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to Master Hou, the little one has been unknown since he was a child, and they are all called Liu Liuzi." The bold boy replied.

Looking at Liu Liuzi, Lotte smiled: "Liu Liuzi, the next time you answer a question, you must raise your hand first, and then you can only answer the question after getting permission, and you can't speak at will!" ”

"Yes, I see!" Liu Liuzi hurriedly replied, but soon realized the mistake he had made, and hurriedly raised his hand and added: "Got it!" ”

Coax......

The courtyard was filled with laughter, and the atmosphere was immediately much more relaxed, and the children were no longer nervous before.

After the laughter fell, Lotte looked at the children and asked, "Do you know what Benhou recruited you here for?" ”

Hearing Lotte's question, the children immediately looked blank, looked at each other for a while, and shook their heads at a loss.

"Since you don't know, then Ben Hou said that you know!" Lotte's eyes swept over all the children and amplified his voice: "Rejuvenate the country with science and technology!" ”

Xingguo, children still understand this word, but what does this technology mean, children's eyes are becoming more and more dazed.

"Report!" A child raised his hand.

"Say!" Rakuten signals.

The child who was allowed to speak asked, "Master Hou, what do you mean by technology?" ”

"Good question!" Lotte nodded, and then swept his gaze over all the children: "What does technology mean, not only does he not know, but you don't know?" ”

The three hundred or so children nodded their heads almost at the same time.

Lotte also nodded and gestured, "Bring the stuff!" ”

At the suggestion, a servant brought a two-foot square urn and a crystal bottle with half of the water in it.

I had already received Lotte's orders, Shakuchi came over to demonstrate, rolled a waste cloth ball and lit it, threw it in an urn and sealed the mouth of the urn, and took out the extinguished cloth ball after a while; Then he threw a chopstick into the half-filled crystal bottle, and when he looked down, he felt as if the chopsticks were broken.

"Why is it that the cloth that could have burned into a class is extinguished in the urn? Why is it that a chopstick placed in water is originally straight, but when it looks at our eyes, it is as if it is broken? Looking at the children, Lotte asked, "Can someone answer Ben Hou, why is this, and what is the reason in the meantime?" ”

A group of children were immediately dumbfounded, everyone knew about this phenomenon, but it was obviously not clear what the truth was.

Seeing that the children were dumbfounded, Lotte smiled, and then said: "Ben Hou has a third question to ask you, you have to listen carefully!" ”

Hearing that Lotte was going to ask a third question, the children listened attentively, only to hear Lotte speak: "Confucius traveled eastward, saw two children arguing, and asked why." One son said, 'I go near at the beginning of the sun, and the sun is far away.' The sun rises at the beginning of the day, and the day is near. One son said: 'The first day of the sun is as big as the cover of a car, and the day is like a pan, is this not small for the far and big for the near?' He said: 'The sun rises at the beginning of the day, and the sun is like a soup, is it not hot for the near and cold for the far?' ’”

Speaking of this, Lotte paused and asked, "Ben Hou asked you and the others, who is right and who is wrong?" ”

In later generations, these three questions seem to be very easy, but at this time in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was undoubtedly a very difficult question, even adults could not answer, let alone children.

Hearing Rakuten's question, the children shook their heads blankly again.

Looking at the children, Lotte Zhengse said: "Just now, you asked Ben Hou what technology means, and Ben Hou told you that the process of discovering the truth of these three things, and the content that can explain the truth of these three things clearly is technology.

There are many unexplained things or phenomena in the world that we need to explore, so Benhou recruited you students and built this academy to explore the truth of all unknown things. ”

Everything has to be explained from the simple to the deep, and only by following the good steps can these children become interested in what they are going to learn.

Looking at these children, Lotte then asked: "You people, how many of you are literate, and the literate people raise their hands to show Benhou!" ”

After Lotte's words fell, only a few people raised their hands.

How can the children and orphans of the displaced people have the opportunity to read and write?

Motioning to these children to put down their hands, Lotte said: "From tomorrow, Benhou will invite someone to teach you to read!" ”

Lotte knows in his heart that it is extremely unrealistic to expect these more than 300 children to become successful, and the children who have become successful are limited after all, but Lotte has also made plans for these children who cannot become successful, and in the future, these children can learn to make and smelt iron and steel to become craftsmen, after all, the stall they are going to spread is very large, and there will be a shortage of manpower in the future.

Listening to Rakuten's guidance from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult, a group of children began to be interested in the phenomenon that Lotte said, and they wanted to explore it.

Lotte is very pleased with the curiosity of these children, and understands that she has successfully guided these children's interests to the past.

Just looking at these children who were yellow and hungry due to malnutrition, Lotte couldn't help but feel a little heartache, sighed softly, and ordered: "Add vegetables to them, have fish and meat, raise the bodies of these children, and find a lang to check if they are sick." ”

The starting point is good, but Lotte ignores the fact that these just recruited are not children from poor families or orphans, although they can eat enough these days, but there is no oil and water in the stomach, at first glance they see big fish and meat, although they are happy to eat, but after a lunch, half of the children have diarrhea.
