Arrogant!

Chen Ding thought in his heart, the tone of practical learning is too big, and the person they are asking for is actually the orthodox position. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

What is orthodoxy, doesn't it mean that the various schools of Confucianism, even Taoism, Buddhism, Law, and Mo, and the hundreds of schools of thought, are only tributaries of practical learning?

This is impossible, and it is determined that Confucianism will never be allowed to become a vassal of others, although over the years, Confucianism has taken advantage of its orthodox status to continuously incorporate the essence of Taoism and Legalism.

Let's see what these practitioners are doing!

Then he saw that on the side of Shixue, everything was laid out and placed on the table in front of everyone.

Every time you put one, Tomson will introduce: "This is the copper wire, this is the belt, this is the crank, this is the magnet......"

As he spoke, there were young people who were learning to assemble these things.

After a long while, this thing was finally installed, and Yu Tomson nodded to a young and strong young man.

The young man smiled: "Don't be afraid, everyone. ”

He said as he walked over to the assembled device, then grabbed the crank and began to spin it.

As he turned, the device made an unpleasant sound, but it was sturdy enough not to fall apart.

Then, a horrific scene occurred in front of everyone.

The glass balls called "lamp beads" placed on the table began to flicker with a dark light, and as the young man shook harder and harder, the light became stronger and stronger!

"This ...... This ......"

Everyone present, except for Shixue, who seemed to be accustomed to it, everyone else was stunned.

This wonderful change really made them regard it as a divine art, and they were even already muttering "strange power and confusion" there.

"It's not a strange thing, it's just an interesting thing to find in the actual research." Yu Tomson said proudly: "Among you, who can give a clear explanation, so that the old man is convinced, the old man will persuade King Ji to take him as the national teacher and use what he has learned as the national religion!" ”

Although many people didn't know who this old man was, after a few days of debate, everyone was no longer unfamiliar with his identity. He is one of Zhou Quan's most valued figures, and in order to support his research, Zhou Quan has spent millions of dollars!

With the electromagnetic theory proposed by Zhou Quan, coupled with sufficient financial and human support, Zhou Quan came to guide from time to time, although there is no major breakthrough in the study of electromagnetism, but there is no problem with a hand-cranked power generation device.

As for the bead wick, with the current technology, of course, tungsten cannot be used, but Zhou Quan knows the story of Edison's invention, and he directly uses the carbonized bamboo silk, and the real difficulty is to extract the air in the glass beads.

"This strange trick is also obscene, except for confusing people's hearts, it is useless, and the saint is not ashamed!" Seeing that there was silence, on Luo Xue's side, someone got up and reluctantly responded.

"Joke, do you know what your biggest problem is, which is to belittle what you don't understand, don't understand, and can't see the use for the time being, all of which are useless!" Hearing this, the young man sneered: "Is it useless except to confuse people's hearts? You fool, if this lamp could be brighter, why would you be afraid of hurting your eyes when you read and write at night? ”

"The factory can continue to operate at night!"

"The roads are lit, and people don't have to worry about walking at night!"

On the practical side, one after another, the possible uses of electricity are explained. The Confucian sects, on the other hand, turned red and white, and it took a long time for one person to say: "That's the case, don't you send someone to shake every lamp?" ”

Seeing that they were still concerned with picking faults in this skill, rather than the principle of the electric light itself, Yu Tomson sighed and sat down.

Behind Yu Tomson, another person stood up, he was one of the few middle-aged people who followed Yu Tomson.

"In Xia Ni Pu, I once heard a sentence that said, 'Everything in front of you is nothing more than things, everything is reasonable, such as the reason why fire is hot, why water is cold, as for the monarch and minister, father and son, it is all reason'. The matter in front of him also contains reason, all the gentlemen do not investigate the reason, and they have lost the heart of knowledge! ”

As soon as this person spoke, Luo Xuezhuzi's face turned embarrassed, and they were ashamed one by one.

Because the sentence he quoted is exactly what Cheng Yi said in the middle of the second journey!

Ercheng highly respected the "University", believing that this was the testament of Confucius and the door of virtue for beginners.

That Ni Pu dared to say this, and he was already very aware of Zhou Quan's ambitions, and he really didn't just want to establish a new theory, but to merge many theories, including Confucianism, and make them into practical learning.

Ni Pu then said: "I have heard that Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world are the eight eyes. ”

Although what Ni Pu said was a bit literary, and he seemed to be very tactful in the ears of ordinary people, but in the ears of various Confucian factions, it was a naked slap in the face.

The highest goal of Confucianism's personal value is to level the world, and Ni Pu's sentence is actually a satire on them, who can't even do the initial stage of learning about things, but they talk about governing the country and leveling the world there.

They can't say that these horses and cows are incompatible, because the so-called eight eyes can be said to be the skeleton of the entire Confucianism, and without it, Confucianism will lose its support system and become fragmented.

It's just that the previous Confucian scholars, for the purpose of becoming officials in politics, paid more attention to self-cultivation and the content of the family.

If these Confucian scholars were given enough time, they might be able to write a lot of articles to refute them, but with the hand-cranked power generation device in front and Ni Pu, a person who is proficient in Confucianism, in the back, this combination of punches made them dizzy and unable to support it.

"It seems that this time the country is a polemic, and it can be ended here."

Seeing that the families were speechless, Bai Xianxian, who was at the scene, sighed. The old literati background made him actually have a good impression of Confucianism, and he also hoped to retain a little more status for Confucianism in the future academic circles.

But now it seems impossible unless Confucianism can explain why hand-cranked power generators can make bead lamps shine.

"Your Excellency's proposal is really magical, and I heard that Mr. Yu is studying how to make this thing really useful...... Bai Xianfeng thought to himself.

Unlike the first and second scientific and technological revolutions in history, which mainly relied on individual geniuses and single-handedness, Zhou Quan understood the development trend of science and technology, so he could organize the most knowledgeable scholars and the most powerful material and financial resources to tackle key problems in promoting the scientific and technological revolution in China. Inventors don't need to think about manpower and money at all, as long as they have a new idea, they can immediately put it into experimentation, which greatly promotes the emergence of new technologies and inventions.

And this difference has blossomed now and will bear fruit in the near future.

"So what, that doesn't prove that Shixue is superior to the Holy Religion, unless you Shixue can explain it...... This strange thing! One of the scholars in the new school exclaimed.

"Practical learning can naturally solve it." Ni Pu said: "This light is the light of thunder and lightning in the sky. ”

"It can't be!"

"The power of thunder, how can there be only this?"

In the midst of the uproar, the corners of Bai Xianxian's mouth twitched slightly.

"The sympathy of yin and yang is the birth of thunder and lightning." Ni Pudao: "Magnetism also has yin and yang......"

He gushed endlessly, using the theory of yin and yang to explain the phenomenon of positive and negative electricity, and these scholars could understand it, especially the example of sucking up paper scraps with a glass rod rubbed with silk, and the scholars of various schools were even more speechless and could not question it again.

For more than an hour, all the scholars of Shixue were talking, and this debate almost became a press conference on the research results of Shixue. Moreover, as long as a theory is proposed, it must be verified by experiments, and then combined with "learning from things", so that everyone has to be convinced.

"If you don't have any other problems, then we will retire first, with all due respect, if it weren't for the king's request, we wouldn't have wasted so much time fighting with you." After a long time, seeing that no one asked any more questions, another person got up and said.

There was some impatience and arrogance in the words, but no one dared to say that Shixue did not have this qualification.

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, he got up, he took a deep breath, thinking of Hou Zhongliang's last words, the wrinkles on his old face trembled slightly.

"What else?"

"This time the country is a debate, and we have lost...... It's not that the words of the saints and the moral articles have failed, it's just that those of us have not learned enough. He said slowly, and behind him, a young student of Confucianism broke out crying.

Seeing that he was still hard-mouthed, Bai Xianfeng was a little impatient.

"However, losing is losing, I sit in the study, I don't know the changes in the world, the poverty of physics, there is this defeat...... From now on, we can no longer stick to the study, but also travel thousands of miles and open our eyes to the world. Therefore, Lao Yu and all the sages and disciples, I have a request, please ask the king of Ji to allow me to wait...... Accompanying the army on an expedition and serving in front of the army proves that we are not people who are closed to the museum! ”

After finishing speaking, he clasped his hands together and shook to Bai Xianxian: "Please also ask Bai Shangshu to tell me...... Your Majesty! ”

Previously, they also greeted Bai Xianxian, but they only called Mr. Bai, saying that Zhou Quan was also His Royal Highness King Ji, at this time, not only did they have a big ceremony, but Bai Xianfeng was also an official scholar, and for Zhou Quan, he was directly called "Your Majesty", the meaning of which is self-evident!

"We are also willing to serve His Majesty's expedition!"

The rest of the Confucian sects, as well as those monks and monks, also saluted and shouted at this time.

They knew very well that this was the time to express their attitude, even if they could not take the initiative to participate in the burning expedition in front of the army like Luo Xue, they must also show their support for Zhou Quan's ascension to the throne and become emperor.

"Please also ask Duke Zhou to ascend the throne as emperor!" Someone else shouted.

"Please Duke Zhou ascend the throne as emperor!"

The voices rang out one after another, at first someone shouted on Xinxue's side, and then Luoxue's side, as well as those monks, almost everyone shouted like this. The shouts spread from inside the Qiushi Palace to outside the building, and the people who gathered around the square in front of the Qiushi Palace to watch the excitement, although they didn't know why, they all shouted happily.

Everyone's expectation!
