Is Sun Yuanhua's teacher Xu Guangqi very awesome?

Please shout four words to me - "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration".

This book can be called the most important agricultural book in ancient Chinese history, and there is no one.

As the pinnacle of his life, Xu Guangqi, who had reached the peak of the Ministry of Rites and was also a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, actually wrote a book on how to farm the land, which was extremely rare among ancient scholars. The key is that people write very well, this is a real practical talent.

Although Xu Guangqi had not yet written this book in 1617, he had already written many other agricultural books to lay the foundation for the Complete Book of Agricultural Administration. Therefore, as a disciple of Xu Guangqi, when Sun Yuanhua learned that the 'revolutionary army' was very successful in farming, he was actually very unconvinced - no matter how awesome this gang of thieves is, is there still my teacher? My teacher is really knowledgeable.

The 'revolutionary army' greatly promoted education, and there was no class of education, but this was also unconvincing in Sun Yuanhua's view—Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci collaborated in translating Euclid's "Geometric Originals". The word 'geometry' was determined by Xu Guangqi, and the book is still a compulsory course for primary and secondary school students after 400 years.

(By the way, Euclid lived in ancient Greece from 330 to 275 B.C., during the Spring and Autumn period in China.) This man is a demon, he laid the foundation of modern mathematics more than 2,000 years ago, and China will not introduce this knowledge until more than 1,800 years later. ）

Xu Guangqi was also accomplished in astronomy, compiling the Chongzhen Almanac in his old age. Therefore, Sun Yuanhua did not feel that the knowledge taught by the 'revolutionary army' to civilians could surpass that of his genius teacher, Xu Guangqi, who was now the top scientist, with profound attainments in agriculture, mathematics, and astronomy, and he even understood military affairs.

And as Xu Guangqi's proud disciple, who is Sun Yuanhua? It is written in the history books that he 'learned from China and the West, peerless and intelligent, and read all books from ancient and modern times', but it is a pity that he died too early.

But even so, Sun Yuanhua's "Western Law Divine Machine" was the first book in China dedicated to how to make artillery, and "Jingwu Quanshu" talked about Western tactics. He was the most powerful artillery expert in the late Ming Dynasty, and he was also one of them. After his death, there was no one in China who really knew how to make artillery. The Chinese had to wait until the end of the Qing Dynasty to be beaten by the foreign powers before they became angry and strong.

This pair of master and apprentice is really a BUG-level existence, and it is definitely no worse than Wen Ruolan beside Zhou Qingfeng. After Zhou Qingfeng got Jia Gang's 'human radio', he once again realized the importance of talents - it must be admitted that science and technology are often promoted by a few extremely smart people.

Zhou Qingfeng has actually been quite annoying recently, and his business of cloth, salt, ironware, and fishing is constantly unfolding. But the Cao Gang, who controls the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is stunned that oil and salt do not enter, and actually want to collect his taxes and monopolize his business, just like the Tianjin tooth merchants at the beginning - Uncle Zhou is not bad if he doesn't collect other people's taxes, and there are still people who want to collect his taxes, which is really bold!

The Cao gang did not cooperate, and the gentry in Jiangnan did not cooperate.

Commodities transported by sea had a huge impact on the economy of the South. In particular, the cloth merchants of Songjiang Prefecture and the salt merchants of Yangzhou were the most fiercely resistant. Uncle Zhou engaged in dumping at every turn, and the goods he sold were very cheap, forcing the other party to have no way to live.

The gentry in Jiangnan were extremely powerful and very wealthy. They were forced to openly intercept the merchant ships of the 'revolutionary army' at sea, and even strictly inspected the goods of the 'revolutionary army' in the market, burned the warehouses, and cracked down on the traders who cooperated with the 'revolutionary army'. This made Zhou Qingfeng even more angry.

Blocking people's money is like killing your parents!

Uncle Zhou was originally trying to find a way to clean up these disobedient bastards, but now he can't keep busy. His mind was stumped by this more important talent issue - Wen Ruolan had a lot of little prodigies around her who were being cultivated, but it would take at least five years for them to grow up.

Wait five years? Zhou Qingfeng was unwilling to wait for a year.

Since his talent training is not so fast, he can only see what talents Daming can recruit first. Flipping through the history books, who is the first person to catch your eye?

Song Yingxing.

This guy wrote a book called "Heavenly Creations". It was the world's first comprehensive work on agriculture and handicrafts, and was claimed to be the 17th-century encyclopedia of crafts. The content of this book is all-encompassing, including biology, physics, chemistry and many other aspects, including smelting, mineral processing and other technologies that are urgently needed by the 'revolutionary army'.

For boring literati who can only talk emptyly, Song Yingxing is too realistic. All these things he engaged in are related to the fundamentals of social life, and they are academic works that can greatly enhance social productive forces. Those Jinshi scholars in the Ming court got together a bunch, but they couldn't match a single of his cold hairs.

Song Yingxing was born in 1587 and is only 30 years old. But he will still be studying at the Bailudong Academy in Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi, which is a little far away from Tianjin. Zhou Qingfeng had no way to go in person, so he could only let his subordinate Ye Na fly the triplane to Jiujiang - if he could persuade him, he would persuade him, and let him mention whatever he wanted. If he is unmoved, he will bind him to me.

Ye Na has been going for several days, but she has not been heard from back, and I don't know if she has found anyone. It's annoying.

The second one wants to tie up the ticket, no ......, who is the talent to be invited?

Xu.

This guy is the same year as Song Yingxing, although he is not a technical talent, but what he does is more scarce than technology. He can be called a geographer, 'reaching what people have not reached, exploring the unknown' - the Western powers are also constantly exploring while colonizing abroad, shouldn't China go to Egypt to dig up the tomb of the pharaoh? Going to Easter Island to see the novelty? Going to the American Circle?

Zhou Qingfeng didn't need to find Xu Xiake, he wanted to send some students to the other party and subsidize him to run every inch of China. Xu Xiake could have recorded all the places he had visited in his travelogue. In time, we will be able to dig out the book he wrote and tell outsiders - see? It is clearly written in the book that this land has been '...... since ancient times'!

Xu Xiake is only thirty years old now, and he still has a long time to run. He can take a steamship to Southeast Asia and Australia, take a triplane to the North Pole, cross the ocean to discover the New World, and travel across the ocean to the old road to record the shameless white-skinned pigs in Europe. He must be willing, right?

The world is so big, we should go for a walk.

As long as Xu Xiake writes into the book, it is our territory.

It's reasonable, but it's not us who bully people!

There are still many scientists in China, and there are talents everywhere. Whether or not they can be used well is the responsibility of the ruler. Zhou Qingfeng rummaged through the history books to find talents, and soon found Xu Guangqi - this old man is almost sixty years old this year, and he seems to be in the capital.

Compared with several other scientific and technological personnel who have only learned local knowledge, Xu Guangqi's horizons are much broader. Science is to collide and communicate more, and Taixi's science and technology are making efforts and talents are coming out in large numbers. China also needs someone to understand the world, and Xu Guangqi is a leading figure.

Zhou Qingfeng was overjoyed, and hurriedly called Wang Kunpeng to give an order: "Think of a way for me, and respectfully invite this great talent to Tianjin." There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. The old man is old, don't annoy him. It's a big deal to kidnap his son and grandson or something, and he must be persuaded well. Do you understand? ”

Wang Kunpeng nodded and took the order. But within two days, he sent back the news, saying that Xu Guangqi was originally in the Zhan Mansion. But not long ago, this old man was suddenly reused, and he is currently the young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu and the imperial history of Henan Province, and he is the governor of the new army in Tongzhou - he is now a powerful official, which is not easy to persuade.

Now that Emperor Taichang has ascended the throne, he dismissed Xue Sancai, the original governor of Jiliao, and newly appointed Xiong Tingbi, the Zuocheng of Dali Temple, as the governor of Jiliao to lead the Gyeonggi army. As soon as this old gentleman took office, he vigorously executed more than a dozen Ming army generals who were unfavorable in battle, and even Juniper was kicked away by him and impeached to dismissal, and a large number of young generals who dared to fight were re-promoted.

Xu Guangqi will be regarded as cooperating with Xiong Tingbi, and the two of them have done a good job.

Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head, and there was nothing he could do about this situation. Now Xu Guangqi is an important official of the Ming Court, and it is difficult to get close, let alone kidnap tickets. He could only retreat and ask: "Xu Guangqi has a student named Sun Yuanhua, where is this guy?" ”

"Sun Yuanhua is in our Tianjin."

"What?"

Zhou Qingfeng was inexplicably excited.

Wang Kunpeng took the opportunity to say: "My subordinates have also bought a lot of spies in the direction of the capital, and Director Ma Ke Shima has a lot of old knowledge in the capital, so it is easy to inquire about some news. Xu Guangqi was promoted by Fang Yizhe, the first assistant of the Ming court, and he took the opportunity to recommend his student Sun Yuanhua. But somehow, Sun Yuanhua didn't stay in the capital, he actually came to our Tianjin. ”

Zhou Qingfeng's face instantly turned gloomy, "Where is this Sun Yuanhua now?" ”

"Sun Yuanhua lives in the Yunlai Inn in the city, which is the nest of the Ming Court Jinyi Guard. We've been keeping an eye on some of them, and we've even bribed a few of them. I thought that I could use this dark nest to pass on some false news to the Ming Court, and at the same time, I could also instigate some people. If the marshal is worried, I will send someone to eliminate it. ”

Many people in the Ministry of Security were trained by Xu Bing with modern detective experience, and even Wang Kunpeng learned a lot of intelligence confrontation methods that were ahead of the times. In addition, the funds given by the 'revolutionary army' are sufficient, as long as the money is basically unstoppable, it is not difficult to deal with Jinyiwei.

Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "I don't care how you fight against Jinyiwei." That's your job. But what is this Sun Yuanhua doing in Tianjin? ”

"It may be to spy on the military, after all, his teacher Xu Guangqi is training in Tongzhou. As the saying goes, 'if the master has something, the disciple will obey him', it is normal for him to come to Tianjin. Wang Kunpeng said.

"What did Sun Yuanhua do when he went to Tianjin?"

"He's only been here for two days, and he's just wandering around, and there's nothing special."

"Keep an eye on it, but let him see if he wants to, our technology is not that easy to learn. I wish he could see the secret. ”

"Dashuai, it is said that Sun Yuanhua is extremely intelligent and good at Western learning. If he really learns something from him, I am afraid that it will be very disadvantageous to my 'revolutionary army'. ”

"He can steal and succeed, which shows that he is really talented. Let him learn, and even help him if necessary. If he doesn't learn anything, I don't want to pay attention to him. If he is really so smart, I will have a sense of accomplishment if I tie him up. It's a big deal, Lao Tzu went to tie it up himself. ”

Zhou Qingfeng laughed happily and didn't care at all. Wang Kunpeng didn't understand why his marshal attached so much importance to this Sun Yuanhua, but he knew that this person must be careful.

At this moment, Sun Yuanhua was standing outside Tianjin, secretly staring at a bus carriage on the side of the road that had recently been put into use in the city. At most, others are surprised that this four-wheeled carriage has a large weight, and it is very easy to pull people and goods. But he circled the carriage, keeping his eyes off the axles at either end of the wheel.

"This car has just squeezed more than 20 people, and the weight is no less than 2,000 catties. The two horse-drawn carts were still running fast, and there was no trace of condensation along the way. How exactly is this axle made? It's weird, it's weird! ”
