readx; When Gu Yanwu looked back, he was not too surprised to see that it was Zhu Youzhen and Xu Guangqi, because Zhu Youzhen had been patrolling the construction site and resettlement sites every day in the past few days, and Xu Guangqi had often come over to teach the workers the technique of "frying oil". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info.23wx. And he knew that Zhu Youzhen was approachable and didn't like to be polite, so he just arched his hand.

But the person next to him didn't know Zhu Youzhen, and he didn't react to the meaning of "I" for a while, but when he saw Zhu Youzhen in civilian clothes, he thought he was just a young official. But Xu Guangqi knew him, and he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Shangshu is above, and Song Yingxing is below..."

Xu Guangqi hurriedly smiled and stopped: "Your Majesty is here, still don't you pay homage?" ”

"Huh?!"

The man was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe it anyway, the young man in plainclothes and with a lovely smile in front of him turned out to be the master of the Ming Empire and the current Emperor Chongzhen!

However, Gu Yanwu was afraid that he would lose his manners, so he hurriedly tugged on his sleeve. Zhu Youzhen also laughed and said: "Others may be fake, is the emperor still fake?" It's really me, like a fake! ”

The man woke up like a dream, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and just shouted in a trembling voice: "Weichen Song Yingxing, knock on my emperor..."

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly picked him up and laughed in a low voice: "Mr. Song, don't be loud, if you shout like this, everyone will come around, and the work will not be done." Come on, let's go to your dorm room and talk! ”

Until he entered the spacious and clean prefabricated room assigned to him with Zhu Youzhen, and was pulled by Zhu Youzhen to sit on the bed, Song Yingxing's head was still buzzing. He is 40 years old this year, and it has been more than 30 years since he was taught at the age of seven. He also had great ambitions, hoping to take the high school entrance examination and serve the country; However, due to repeated failures, he still achieved nothing in the past year, and his ambition gradually cooled down, so he had to go to the remote Yuanzhou Mansion in Jiangxi Province to make a small teaching.

If you change someone else, this life may be so confused. This was not the case with Song Yingxing, who was interested in agriculture, handicrafts and natural sciences from an early age. Before he was in his thirties, he traveled all over the world, but unlike other scholars who were fond of mountains and rivers and sang about the wind and the moon, his vision was always in the people. He was willing to study every apparatus and every technique used by the people at the bottom in the production and labor, and he would leave contentedly until he had thoroughly studied it, understood the advantages and disadvantages of such apparatus or technology, and sketched it.

In this era of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", the vast majority of readers do not care about this kind of knowledge at all. Song Yingxing believes that the natural world is the material basis for human survival, and man is the soul of all things, and can use his own wisdom to develop and use nature to create the material wealth needed for life. And this wisdom is not only the books of the sages, but also the scientific and technological knowledge of all walks of life.

But in this era, Song Yingxing's views are tantamount to deviant, except for his mentor, Shu Yuejing, the cave master of the White Deer Cave Academy, others can't understand him at all, and they also joke that he only focuses on these carving insect skills, but the real knowledge is ordinary, but it is comparable to the "Carpenter Emperor" Apocalypse.

Although Song Yingxing was very depressed because of this, he still had amazing perseverance, and in his spare time when he was studying and teaching in the county, he worked hard every day, spending several years to record everything he saw in the past into a book, and named it "Heavenly Creation". "Heaven" is the natural world, "work" is human skills, "open" is development and utilization, and "matter" is the meaning of material wealth.

But the teachings are petty officials who have not entered the stream, and the monthly salary is only three stones. In this way, it is also divided into "natural color" and "folded color": the true color refers to the physical rice and wheat, and the folded color refers to the currency issued according to the discount of the physical goods. The conversion price of the discount color is calculated according to one stone of rice and one tael of silver, and the thunder has not been able to move for one or two hundred years. But in fact, according to the current prices, one tael of silver can't buy a stone of rice at all, which is tantamount to deducting the money.

Not only that, but the folding color is still "half of the money", that is, half of the silver and half of the treasure banknote. And the treasure banknote was like waste paper at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was equivalent to a discount. Take Song Yingxing as an example, he can only receive one stone and five buckets of rice per month, that is, one hundred and eighty catties of grain, plus one tael of silver. With such a small amount of money to feed the whole family, the degree of hardship can be imagined.

Therefore, if a grassroots official like Song Yingxing doesn't want to try to make some extra money, it will be a problem to even fill his stomach with that little money. Song Yingxing is an upright person, disdainful of doing those things that blackmail poor students, and his life is extremely embarrassing. Although the manuscript of "Open Heaven Gongwu" is nearing completion, it has not been able to make up the money for printing at all, so it has not yet been paid. Besides, no one will read this kind of book when it is printed, just as Song Yingxing said in the preface of the book: Beggar literati, abandon the desk, this book is fame and enterprising, and it has nothing to do with it.

Just when Song Yingxing was gradually discouraged, thinking that he would die of old age and basil, his fate suddenly changed dramatically. First, he was transferred to Beijing without warning, and then he was received by two Shangshu, cabinet ministers Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi in succession, and even obtained the railway drawings that amazed him, and allocated 10,000 taels of silver to 30 experienced craftsmen, so that he could specialize in the development of trial railways!

That's not all, now he can sit side by side with the young emperor, and the emperor also took his hand and asked affectionately: "Sir, when you first came to Beijing, are you still used to eating and living?" The Tartar has just retreated, and the conditions are a little harder, and I hope Mr. will not mind. If you have any difficulties, just look for Gu Yanwu or Xu Guangqi, or find me directly, I have been in Tongzhou these days. ”

At this point, Song Yingxing finally woke up from his dream, got up and knelt down and kowtowed, and tears were already raining down. There are grievances in these tears that have not been encountered for many years, but more importantly, they are grateful for the emperor's kindness and the great sense of happiness that they have finally been able to exert their talents!

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly helped Song Yingxing up, tears also appeared in his eyes, and he said emotionally: "In the past, the imperial court only took eight shares, so that such a great talent as Mr. could not be displayed, I am responsible!" But it's not too late to make amends, I have found you now, this is my great luck, the great luck of the Ming Dynasty, and the great luck of the Chinese nation! Is Mr.'s "Heavenly Creation" a book? ”

"The book has not yet been written, but the manuscript Weichen has always carried with him." Song Yingxing hurriedly took out a large stack of manuscripts from the iron cabinet in the room and respectfully presented them to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen turned a few pages, and said with great joy: "It's really an encyclopedia, I have found a treasure!" ”
