In the Western Han Dynasty, Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fufeng, and Right Feng Yi were the "three auxiliaries" in Jinnei, which belonged to the Department of Lieutenants and Commanders, and their officials were not named Shou, but had the same name as the administrative division. Although the Eastern Han Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, the name of "Sanfu" did not change. It was not until the Jian'an period that Sanfu and the southern part of Anding County of Liangzhou were merged into Yongzhou, and Jingzhaoyin was changed to Guanzhong County, left Fufeng County was Fufeng County, and right Feng Yi was Fengyi County, and the officials were all named Taishou.

Compared with the former Zuofufu, the scope of Fufu County has been reduced, and the northeast counties of Yuyi and Qi are placed under the jurisdiction of Anding-gun. The rest of the counties remained the same, but the county was relocated from Huaili in the east to Wugong in the middle.

On the shore of Weishui in the south of Wugong City, there are many villages of all sizes. One of the villages is quite large, and the residents of Tai are half surnamed Ma, commonly known as Ma Shi Estate, and it is said that their clan is the descendants of Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

By the way, Ma Teng in Liangzhou in the middle of Jian'an was defeated by Han Sui, and he went east to Guanzhong to rely on Cao Cao. But a few years later, Ma Chao made a mess, and was immediately defeated by the official army, and escaped into Shuzhong, Ma Teng was also beheaded in Xudu, and the martial arts Ma clan immediately rebuilt the family tree, directly crossed out the name of this branch, and - his own family naturally restored its status as a major sect.

At this time, it was the spring of February, the red sun was rising, and the morning light was projected into Ma Shi Estate, which had just been rained a few days ago, and the humidity in the air was very high, condensing into a milky white mist. Five steps away. That is, it is difficult to distinguish people's faces. However, a teenager walked through the fog. The pace is quite brisk, avoiding the firewood, grass, and sundries piled up outside the walls of each house at any time, and there is no sign of stagnation at all-there is no other, only the road is familiar.

The boy was thirteen or fourteen years old, with long hair and a shawl, and two horns, and a semi-long robe of fine linen, and trousers without a coat. There are foot clothes, stepping on hemp shoes - it looks like it is not a child from a poor family, and the family should be quite well-off. He carried in his arms a pile of loose pieces of wood, of various shapes, with strips, pieces, wheels, and even a circle of regular concave and convex wheels around him......

Soon, the boy was running to a small courtyard at the end of the village. The courtyard has no walls, only a fence made of bamboo and wood, more than half a person high, and there are only four rammed earth houses when you look through the fence. The walls are mottled and old, and they are all roofed with thatch. Two rooms were slightly larger, and should be living rooms, and the other two rooms, one east and one west, could only accommodate two or three people to stand, presumably a kitchen and a toilet—it was obvious that such a simple and poor room would not be the abode of this young man.

There was a dilapidated wooden door on the fence, the peach charm of the New Year had not yet been plucked, but the color was about to fade, and a broom made of rice straw hung beside the door. The boy came to the door, tried to hold on to the broken wood in his arms, twisted his upper limbs, and finally flipped his right hand and knocked lightly on the door.

The time was not long, and with a "squeak", the door opened slightly, revealing a delicate face. It was also a teenager, but he was slightly older than the visiting boy, nearly seven feet tall, and although he had bangs in front of him and hair draped at the back of his neck, he did not comb his horns, but he wore a bun at the back of his head like an adult, and inserted a hairpin. As soon as he showed his head, the visiting teenager hurriedly greeted: "Brother, brother, the car is broken, repair it for me." ”

The young man with the bundle of hair inside the door raised his eyebrows, stared, stretched out his lips, and made a "silence" gesture. At the same time, an old woman's voice came from the front room: "Who is it?" ”

The young man with the bundled hair hurriedly turned his head and agreed: "Yes, it's Ake, call your son to go home to study." Then he turned back to the young man "Ake" outside the door and made a waiting gesture, then retracted his head and closed the courtyard door.

After a while, the young man came out of the door with a sackcloth bag, covered the door with his backhand, and pulled Ake, who was waiting anxiously outside the door, to his side. He looked into Ake's arms, stretched out his hand and pointed to a small pile of firewood by the fence, and whispered, "Let's put this first, read first...... In the evening, I repaired and repaired for you. ”

Ake nodded obediently, then bent down, hid the scraps of wood in the firewood, and then straightened up and asked in a low voice, "Uncle and mother don't speak well, and blame Brother Yae?" The young man with the bundled hair smiled slightly wryly, and the scene in the suitable house couldn't help but come back to his mind.

It was his mother wiping her tears, half mourning, half reprimanding herself: "Your father died early, the family property was wiped out, I just want you to be a son, I hope that you will be knowledgeable and progressive, good at reading, and be an official slaughterer one day, and you will live up to my hard work." Who would have thought that this little beast would like to be a little skill, and would not concentrate on learning...... But I have dead ears, how can I see your father in the ground?! ”

This family is indeed more miserable, originally from the small sect of the Ma family, but more than ten years ago it was a middle-class family, the father of the young man with the bundle of hair once had fifty acres of paddy fields, married a wife and a concubine, and gave birth to two sons - put aside the composition of future generations, and if you lower it, you will be a middle peasant, and if you pull it up, you can be regarded as a rich peasant or even a small landlord. It's a pity that the end of the Han Dynasty was turbulent, Guanzhong was repeatedly attacked by soldiers, and the Ma clan organized the villagers to defend against bandits, but Ma's father was shot in the knee by a stray arrow in a battle to defend the village, and he went home on the sick seat for three months, and finally died.

As soon as the roof collapsed, the family soon fell into decay. Ma's mother is not good at management, and her ears are soft, she is too gullible to others, thinking that the clansmen will help each other, who wants to hide a knife in a smile, and use all clever words and means to rob her family property. So in less than three years, the family wealth was exhausted, the ancestral house was pawned, and the acres were sold out, and even the husband's concubine ran away with her son...... In the end, he was forced to move to live in a small courtyard at the end of the village, relying only on his mother to weave some coarse cloth every day or work as a domestic servant in a large family to make ends meet.

But her son is not very successful.

This bundle of hair was also quite smart when he was young, Ma's mother begged his grandfather and grandmother, and finally sent his son to a private school in the clan to study, hoping that he would be successful in his studies in the future, and be able to be a slaughterer for the official, so as to revive the family business - at least the old lady doesn't have to work so hard anymore, right? Who would like the child to grow up, but the intelligence of the child turned into a special kind of stupidity, and he likes to fiddle with all kinds of craftsman's tools all day long, and make some useless gadgets, as for the scriptures. But they often can't memorize it.

- Could it be that my mother worked so hard to raise you? Is it for you to be a lowly craftsman?!

There's more. The child didn't know what was wrong, and he started stuttering at the age of eight, which was not serious, but it really affected his communication. Ma's mother doesn't know parenting, psychology or anything, she only knows how to scold and scold, but the more she beats and scolds, the more serious her son's stuttering problem becomes. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not necessarily that the child has not memorized all the words and sentences of the scriptures. When Mr. Question asks him to memorize, he often stammers and struggles to form sentences. The more bad the memorization, the more the husband scolded him, the more he refused to memorize, and this vicious circle......

Ma's family school is in the middle of the village, next to the ancestral hall, and is managed by an elder of the tribe who has been a filial piety and a county magistrate, and teaches children and teenagers. At present, there are more than 30 students, ranging in age from 7 to 18 years old, and 80% of them are children of the Ma family. There are also a few foreign surnames - if not from a well-to-do family, of course. If they are willing to take out double the bundles, Ma will never allow them to come to school.

When the two teenagers came to the door of the homeschool, the fog had gradually dissipated, and they saw another teenager standing in front of the door and waiting. The young man was older than the two of them, and evidently had his hair in shape, and had passed the crown salute, and his lips were covered with a faint hair, and he had his hands behind his back, and his attitude was arrogant. This is the oldest student in the current home school, and Mr. gave him the responsibility of managing the junior and younger brothers, to put it bluntly, he is a teaching assistant, his surname is Chen, and the word is exempt.

The two teenagers who had just arrived hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. Chen Wei raised his head, glanced at the young man with the bundle of hair obliquely, and said slowly: "Look at Ake's face, and borrow this book to you temporarily." The young man with the bundled hair hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Many, many, thank you Brother Chen, brother, brother, brother......"

Chen Wei frowned impatiently, his right hand came out from behind his back, holding a paper book in his hand, and patted the young man with the bundle of hair on the shoulder with a "snap", and shouted in a low voice: "This is the first volume, you can read it." This book is rare, and if it is defaced, it will not rest with you! ”

The young man with the hair explained that he knew that this book was precious, and you still patted me on the shoulder...... If this is broken up, yours will be mine? But he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, so he quickly shrank his hands, shook his sleeves, took it respectfully, and held it high above his head, and shook it deeply. Chen Yun pouted: "There is still a moment, Mr. will arrive, you must not delay." ”

A moment is not too short - that means that the two teenagers arrived quite early. Of course, Chen Wei came earlier, and as a teaching assistant, he had to instruct the servants to clean the classroom and boil hot water in order to greet Mr. Gong.

Chen Wei turned around and entered the private school, but the young man with the bundled hair forcibly suppressed the excitement in his chest, hurriedly crapped to the corner, and respectfully but couldn't wait to unfold the paper book in his hand. The binding of this book is quite exquisite, with a thick dark blue cover, and a narrow white paper pasted on the left side, on which a neat line of official characters is written: Physics First Words, Volume 1.

The boy with the bundled hair has been famous for this book for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to see it. This is a contemporary Confucian, Taiwei Shixun is compiled by the Hongfu organization, and those who have good deeds will compare it to "Lü's Spring and Autumn". However, unlike Lu Lan, "The First Words of Physics" does not involve historical events, old classics, anecdotes, and quotations from famous artists, but mainly talks about "the way of heaven and earth, the principle of the birth and death of all things", hence the name "physics".

The title of the first volume is "Astronomy", and it begins with the words: "It is commonly believed that the sky is round and the earth is round, and the sky is covered and the earth is contained, which means that the sky is covered." For example, Zhou Jijiayun: 'The sky is round like a cover, and the place is like a chess game.' And there is a cloudy sky shaped like a hat, and the center is high and the four sides are down, and there is a cloudy sky like a canopy, and the south is high and the north is down, and so on. However, it is foolish to think that it is all conjecture and vain words.

"Then there is Hun Tian said. Zhang Pingzi (Zhang Heng) "Armillary Notes" cloud: "The armillary sky is like a chicken. The celestial bodies are round like projectiles, the earth is like a chicken in the middle yellow, and it lives alone in the sky, the sky is big and the earth is small. There is water in the sky, and the sky envelops the earth, and the shell is yellow. Heaven and earth stand by air, carrying water and floating. "Another cloud: "The sky turns like the luck of the hub, and it rotates for no reason, and its shape is muddy, so it is called the sky." 'Foolishness seems to be gained, but it is not perfect.

"Sanyou Xuanye said, only Han secretary Lang Xuan Meng remembered the clouds passed on by his ancestors: 'The sky is qualitative, looking up at it, it is lofty and infinite, and the eyes are exquisite, so the sky is also pale. For example, looking at the Yellow Mountain in the distance and all are green, looking down on the deep valley of thousands of people and dark, the husband is not the true color, and the black is not the body. The sun, moon and stars naturally float in the void, and they must be angry in their actions. It is based on the seven rays or passing away or dwelling, or going forward or reverse, seeing impermanence, advancing and retreating differently, because there is no root system, and it is not attached to the celestial body, so it is different. 'O good, what is good......

The young man with the bundled hair greedily recited the words on the book, and Ake was bored, so he naturally leaned over to look at it, and couldn't help but have a great question: "If the sun, moon and stars have nothing to attach to them, why should they hang for a long time without falling?" ”

The young man with the bundled hair just wanted to say don't worry, there must be a reason, and read it again, when suddenly a reprimand came from his ear: "Ma Jun, Mark, what are you reading?!"
