Less than half a month after the feast, the Bianjing Printing House launched 100,000 copies of the "Annotations on the Collection of University Chapters and Sentences" and the "Annotations on the Collection of Chapters and Sentences of the Mean", and then quickly put them on the shelves of thousands of bookstores in Bianjing, Luoyang, Hangzhou, Ezhou, Guangzhou, and Chengdu, and all of them were in the most conspicuous places.

There is no way, with its ultra-fast printing speed, ultra-high printing quality, and ultra-low printing costs, the Bianjing Printing Society has swallowed up more than 70 percent of the printing houses in Bianjing, formed a super printing group with 7,000 workers, and monopolized more than 90 percent of the publishing business in Bianjing and more than 60 percent in the country.

So unless those booksellers want to change careers, they have to do what the publishing giant asks.

In fact, this is not what Chen Ke meant, it is just that his subordinates are patting on the back. Originally, according to Chen Ke's meaning, he printed 20,000 copies first, sold them slowly, fermented them slowly, and if something went wrong, he could clean them up.

This is good, within a few years, the two books "University Chapters and Sentences Collection Annotations" and "Zhongyong Chapters and Sentences Collection Annotations" have spread all over the world. What followed was an overwhelming array of voices.

First of all, of course, there are praises. Because Chen's science is such a jīng philosophy. With such knowledge in front of you, it is difficult for you not to feel broken even if you don't believe it. Because since the pre-Qin cultural fault in China, there has never been a complete philosophy. After Han Confucianism and Buddhism proved to have failed, people needed a thought that could guide them too much.

But it is precisely because they have experienced too many setbacks that they will not believe in any doctrine, and they must always fully question it. will accept it little by little.

So throughout the winter, the door of Chen Ke's house and the entrance of the martial arts academy were crowded with Confucian scholars and scholars who came to ask for advice, apprenticeship, debate, and question. Some people even came from Guangdong just to spit out a mouthful of old phlegm...... Of course, such people are extremely rare.

Chen Ke also had to devote a lot of time to explaining doubts, solving doubts, and even debating. was besieged like this all day long, and Rao is iron body couldn't bear it, so he could only announce it in the end. Once every five days, in the martial arts hall of the martial arts academy, a group of visitors are met together.

The lecture hall is the auditorium of the Royal Martial Arts Academy, modeled after later generations. The newly built lecture hall, with its cement concrete structure, can accommodate more than 2,000 people at most. There is a primitive amplification equipment, which can be used for large classes in the martial arts academy.

The biggest advantage of Chen Ke bringing these people together is that he can avoid answering repetitive questions. In fact, he answers almost a dozen questions over and over again every day.

Something like, 'You say that things are poor, so where do you put the saint?' Don't we need to learn more about saints if we only need to learn about things? ’

Chen Ke's answer was: "Of course not, without the guidance of a sage, how can you go to Gewu?" Cultivate one's own body internally. Poor physics need to follow the teachings of the saints! ”

Someone else asked, 'You say, 'The realm of all things is real, and anyone who is divided into different categories and who is poor in reason can enter the Tao.'" Could it be that I can also enter the Tao by studying plants and trees? ’

"There are thousands of truths, but there is only one way." Chen Ke said: "The Tao is contained in all things. Therefore, in every principle, there is a part of the Tao. It is said that the reason of all things should be exhausted in order to attain the Tao. But people have wisdom, they can summarize and generalize, and they can draw inferences from others. Therefore, as long as you can exhaustively study one of the principles of one type and one type, you will attain the Tao. ”

"So what are the categories?"

"There are too many, such as philosophy, literature, martial arts, Buddhism, Taoism, history, medicine, agriculture, engineering, arithmetic, divination, astronomy, geography, military science, zoology, botany, ......"

"Can a peasant also attain the Tao?" This is something that the scholars and doctors are unhappy with. They need a sense of superiority.

"Theoretically, that's true. But the study of agriculture is broad and deep, and if you want to enter the Tao from this, you have to be able to take care of all the crops, right? Can you control all pests and diseases, right? There are also horticulture, afforestation, sericulture, animal husbandry, veterinary, breeding, brewing, cooking, storage, and methods of famine control. Chen Ke replied lightly: "Do you think that an illiterate farmer can understand so much?" ”

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh.

Therefore, it is impossible to attain enlightenment by practice alone. You have to quickly become an expert in this field by reading the books of your predecessors. Then, through practice, test your knowledge, so that you can get enough reason as soon as possible, and then you will have enough time to seek the Tao. When Chen Ke said this, he undoubtedly preached that only scholars can attain the Tao, but he also had to cover it up: "If a peasant can master so much, do you think he is not qualified to enter the Tao?" ”

"Mr. said he wanted to read books, but how can there be books on agriculture?" But everyone laughed and said, "I have never heard of anyone who is an agronomist." ”

"Qi Min Yaoshu", "The Book of Bisheng", "Four Seasons Compilation", "Leiyun Sutra", "Zhaoren Benye", "Baosheng Monthly", "Planting Law", "Soma Sutra", "Four Hours", "Chengyu Moon Order", "Ji Li Summary", "Farm Affairs", "Cultivation Spectrum", "Silkworm Book", "Mountain Dwelling Technique", "Simu Anji Collection", "Wang's Four Seasons", "Silkworm Sutra" ......" Chen Ke smiled and said: "I just thought about it a little, there are so many ancient agricultural books, why do you say no." ”

The scholars couldn't help blushing, they only studied for the imperial examination to become officials, because they read very few books except for the Thirteen Classics. Even if you read it, it's mostly a pastime such as a legendary storybook. Who would be idle and reading a book in their hands?

"As for those who enter the Tao with agriculture. The most famous is the Yandi Shennong. Chen Ke added: "In fact, ancient agriculturists abounded, but the Han Confucianism deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, blocking the path for people to enter the Tao with a hundred schools." In fact, we should take Confucianism as the body, a hundred schools of thought as the use, Confucianism to the heart, and a hundred schools of thought to prove all things, in order to become a great road! ”

"And which one do you belong to?" Someone else asked. In fact, those who ask this kind of question have basically agreed with his doctrine.

"I study Confucianism internally, and physics externally." Chen Ke said: "I try to find the laws behind various phenomena in this world. For example, why do things fall to the ground; why boats can float on water; Why does the rainbow have seven kinds of faces; What are the laws of the sun, moon and stars? ”

"If you can understand all kinds of physics, you can explain the world." Chen Ke said: "But at present, I have only obtained part of the reason, and some of it has not been tested in practice, so it cannot be true." ”

His words really aroused everyone's strong curiosity, and they asked, "Why do things fall to the ground?" ”

"Because of gravity." Chen Ke replied: "So people will have weight, so no matter how high you jump, you will eventually have to fall back to the ground, so the rì moon star is bound and rotates around the center of the earth." ”

"How can a rainbow be seven sè?" This is what they are more concerned about than the first phenomenon. Because the rainbow was called 'bar draft' and 'dragon sucking water' in this era, people believed that the rainbow would suck up the water in the place. So when the rainbow comes, people knock on pots and bowls to 'scare away' the rainbow.

For unknown phenomena, the ancients always gave myths a color, and breaking this myth will naturally reflect unparalleled persuasiveness.

Chen Ke explained: "The rainbow is the water droplets that the sun shines on the air, and the light rays are folded and reversed, forming an arched colorful spectrum in the sky. Because of the weather conditions in the evening after the rain, it is most suitable for the appearance of rainbows, so people will always see it at that time. ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this: "Sir, I'm afraid it's a joke, then the sunlight is white, and the rainbow is colorful, how can it be connected?" ”

"It's true that the sunlight is seven sè," Chen Ke said lightly: "It's just that when they are compounded together, they will become white sè." When folding shè and scattering shè occur, seven sè will appear. Seeing that the crowd did not believe him, he smiled and said, "I can prove it to you." He took out a transparent prism from the teaching aid box and asked everyone to preach: "Let's see, this is just an ordinary piece of glass, right?" ”

At this time, although Western glass was expensive in the Great Song Dynasty, it was not uncommon. Most of the Confucian children are from upper-middle-class families...... Families who can't even eat enough have no money for their children to go to school. So most of them are not surprised by the prism, but they know that this piece of glass is so translucent, it must be a mess of money.

In the space of glass transmission, Chen Ke popularized the principle of folding shè and reversing shè of light. Because it is the most basic junior high school physics knowledge, it is very easy for adults to understand, and there is a sense of sudden realization after listening to it. It turns out that when I look in the mirror and see myself, I stick my chopsticks in the water, and it always feels like they are broken.

When the prism came back, Chen Ke asked people to open the curtain of the window on the left. Then a light shè came in, Chen Ke put the prism on the light, and the scholars saw that the light passed through the prism and shè shè, shining on the wall, showing a colorful light......

proved that the sunshine is seven, Chen Ke took everyone to the martial arts training ground, and the guards dragged the water dragon with the shower head, and stepped on the pedal with his back to the sun, and countless water lines sprayed out and turned into a mist in the sky.

Everyone saw a beautiful rainbow, straddling the sky above the martial arts training ground......

The people who saw this scene were ten out of ten who admired Chen Ke's five-body body, and most of them have become his fans since then. That's a lot of time.

Of course, every time Chen Ke gives a lecture, the experiments he does are different. But it's all the ones I did in physics class when I was in junior high school in my last life......

So when you are young, you should try to do as many small experiments as possible, in case you cross one day, you can also be regarded as having a skill.
