Chapter 721: The Book of the Prosperous Age
This is also a helpless thing, not to say that he is reading a book, is it possible that Lu Chengqi wants to tell them that he is a saint who is born to know? He is very empty in his heart, and if someone sees a flaw, he will not be able to sit on the throne. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info can't be helped, who said that his confidence is not very sufficient, if it is anything else, it will be fine, but science is a thing that must not touch the bottom line. As the saying goes, half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a madman, a madman becomes an emperor, what do the people below think?
Fortunately, these three people never thought that the little emperor in front of them would lie, but felt that the "scientific and technological strength" of these Western countries was indeed a bit unfathomable. The little emperor also said that what "Egypt" is a pyramid as high as a mountain, a huge temple, and even Dashun's iron-smelting technology was first "discovered". Tang Xun They are not the pedantic scholars of the Qing Dynasty in the official history, they know that the world is big, beyond imagination, and they also know the Western countries.
Shen Kuo said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the countries of Europa are so sharp, if they are enemies of our Central Plains, wouldn't it be a strong enemy?" ”
Su Song also nodded and said: "Your Majesty's many techniques for writing with imperial pens, we have been developing for many days, and we have found that there are indeed things, which are complicated and cumbersome, and non-geniuses cannot fully comprehend them. If everyone in Europa is like this, then how can I, the Central Plains, resist it? ”
Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, although Europa is strong, it is only strong in one aspect. Then the kingdom of Rome, now that it has fallen apart, what is there to fear? ”
The three of them disagreed, and Tang Xun advised: "Your Majesty also said that you should be prepared for danger in times of peace. Europa is now in trouble, how can it be in trouble? ”
Lu Chengqi never thought that they would say this about themselves in turn, and they were relieved: "It is true that Europa is now in a special period called 'Renaissance', and they also went to sea to trade, which made the city rise and the people live and work in peace and contentment...... In fact, Lu Chengqi said that the Renaissance in Europe should be in the 14th century, and now it is just a bud. But this shallowness to European history did not prevent him from gushing about Leonardo da Vinci, Shakespeare and others, and also talking about it with relish. It's a pity that this kind of elevating others and belittling oneself made the three people under the dragon case extremely embarrassed. You must know that the Central Plains has always been known as an orthodox power, and the emperors of the previous dynasty were also called Tian Khan, where can they accept that there are many countries that are more powerful than the Central Plains Dynasty?
Shen Kuo was the first to say: "Your Majesty, since Europa is so sharp, how can we not catch up?" ”
Lu Chengqi knew that they had fallen into the trap, and deliberately sighed and said: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is common for Europa to surpass the Central Plains in some fields. Zhu Qing has such ambitions, I am very relieved. It's just that it's hard to catch up in a hurry, so don't be too obsessed, so as not to break your body. I cherish talents, but I don't want you to be old at a young age......"
Tang Xun said with a smile: "With the Supervision Department supervising by the side, it is difficult for us to forget to sleep and eat." ”
Lu Chengqi sighed, changed the topic, and said worriedly: "Some time ago, someone told me that Sima Guang, the transfer envoy, actually wrote a book of "Zizhi Tongjian" when he was in office, although it has not been completed, it can also be seen that it is a masterpiece of history, so that Dashun and the previous dynasty can be corrected, so as not to have different opinions, which is really a good thing. As the saying goes, gold in troubled times is collected in prosperous times, but in my opinion, the prosperous times still have to be written, and without one or two books that have been passed down through the ages, how can it be regarded as a prosperous era? ”
Shen Kuo's mind was flexible, and he knew the meaning when he heard the strings: "Your Majesty means that you want to write a canon?" ”
Lu Chengqi nodded: "Yes, there were hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, and now there are endless schools of Confucianism, such as Zhou Dunyi's Lianxue, Shao Yong's Xiang Mathematics, Zhang Zai's Guan Xue, Ercheng's Luo Xue, and Sima Guang's Shuoxue, all of which are shining brightly and have their own strengths." Such a grand event does not lose to the pre-Qin. Wouldn't it be a blessing if it could be printed into a book and circulated for centuries? ”
Su Song was moved, and it was something that every Confucian disciple dreamed of, but he was also a little puzzled, and said: "If Your Majesty wants to compile a book, you can order it to be revised in the Jiying Palace, the Right Wen Palace, the Secret Pavilion, the History Museum, the Fellow Practitioners, the Records Academy, the Book Lang, the Editor, the Secretary Provincial School Shulang, etc., so that the classics can be compiled and printed into books." ”
Lu Chengqi shook his head and said: "The book I want to compile, all the books of the book since the book deed, the book of the hundred schools of thought, as for astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medical divination, monks, skills, the words of the art of war, and even civil engineering, building French style and other skills, it is compiled into one book, and it is not tireless!" Thousands of years of war, I don't know how many stunts have been ruined, the wooden kite that flies for three days, the Zhuge crossbow that can fire continuously, and the wooden ox and horse that do not move on their own...... Only in the history books, I am afraid that not many people will make it, presumably in another thousand years, future generations will not see the real thing, will definitely guess in their hearts, these things are just the imagination of the ancients, should not be true. In addition, the world cherishes its own broom, and perhaps in another hundred years, the muskets, artillery, and warships that we have worked so hard to build will also become a unique sound. In the future, what will the descendants use to resist the enemy's blade and inherit the Chinese civilization? ”
Tang Xun's voice trembled a little: "Your Majesty wants to integrate Dashun technology into one canon?" ”
Lu Chengqi nodded, and said with a sigh: "I often think that if Dashun's technology leaves words and maps, then even if future generations are struggling, they will be able to work again." ”
Writing a book, that is the dream of a literati through the ages, throughout the ages, it is not the case, you don't see any celebrities in later generations, you find a gunman to write a few bullshit articles, and you will publish a book and biography in a grand manner, vassal elegance, relatively, or ancient intellectuals, not thick enough, very self-aware, at most think about it in your heart, dare not put it into practice, so as not to become a laughing stock.
Su Song was calm in the end, barely pressed the feeling of heartbeat, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, I am afraid that something will be wrong if I do this." ”
Lu Chengqi frowned and said, "What can be wrong?" ”
Su Song sighed: "In the world, astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medicine, monks, skills, the art of war, and even civil engineering and construction methods, there are more than 10 million? If it is compiled in a book, it is really difficult for a strong man. ”
Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "It's called a book, but in fact, it can be divided into multiple volumes according to the title, and one volume can be divided into dozens of volumes. In this way, it is actually hundreds, thousands of books. I thought about it, since Europa has a 'Renaissance', how can the Central Plains not have it? Writing a book and compiling a dictionary, I have made up my mind. And all the ministers are the ministers of the humerus of Dashun, I want to hand over this important task to Toll and others, I don't know what you think? (To be continued.) )
