Not to mention, although the honorary title is false, it can indeed play a certain role in motivating the public. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoLiu Hou wants to get the public to completely shift their attention from the Confucian classics to science and technology, which is a long-term project.

After all, since Dong Zhongshu, Confucianism has been respected for more than 300 years, and the idea of Confucianism as respect has taken root in the hearts of the people. And Liu Hou began to promote science and technology when he began to establish the "Dahan Longteng Academy", which is only more than ten years ago, and during Liu Bei's reign, it was still mainly Confucianism.

It was not until Liu Bei's death and Liu Hou's coming to power that the major colleges across the country gradually shifted their teaching focus to science and technology and practical knowledge, and the classics of Chinese culture gradually became secondary courses and elective courses, which was only a few years. This still refers to government-run colleges, but government-run colleges alone are not enough, and there are still many conservative people among the people who still cling to the Confucian classics.

Especially in this era, the degree of socialization of education is not high, and many people's enlightenment is still completed in private schools, and children who can go to government colleges are still in the minority. Although Liu Hou has the intention to promote compulsory education, this thing is the most money-burning, the country's resources are limited, and the funds that can be invested in education are very limited, so the popularization rate of compulsory education is still very low.

The reality is that there are still a large number of children studying in private schools, and even fewer of these private schools teach scientific and technological knowledge, and most of the old masters in private schools are still teaching the Four Books and the Five Classics. And to completely reverse people's concept of emphasizing literature over reason, it is by no means an overnight thing, and can only be guided slowly by the imperial court.

Erecting examples and setting up a reward system is undoubtedly a good way to guide the people. Thinking of this, Liu Hou already had an idea in his heart, and he said to Zhang Fu: "Mr. Pingzi is outstanding in talent, and he deserves the title of 'Mu Sheng', so I will title him as "

"Wait!" Just when Liu Hou wanted to officially issue an edict to crown Zhang Heng as a "Wood Saint", he suddenly heard a blocking voice from the side. This abrupt voice not only frightened Liu Houyi, but Zhang Fu, who was about to thank him, was even more nervous, and suddenly raised his throat.

It was Prime Minister Zhuge Liang who spoke, and he only listened to him: "Your Majesty, Mr. Pingzi is indeed a meritorious person, but his achievements are not only in carpentry. For example, the geodynamic instrument is made of copper, not wood, so Weichen thinks that it is a bit narrow to call him "Wood Saint".

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) and, as far as carpentry is concerned, the distant Luban patriarch does not say, just say that the nearest one, the horses of my dynasty are also skilled, and I am afraid that they are not under Mr. Pingzi. In terms of meritorious achievements, Ma Jun also reproduced the guide car, he also transformed the weaving machine, improved the work efficiency by four or five times, and also improved the keel waterwheel (overturner), a tool used for agricultural irrigation, which greatly benefited agricultural production.

There are also hydro turbines and wind turbines, all of which are from his handiwork. Your Majesty, don't forget that the crossbow of the horse that has been repeatedly exploited is also from him. ”

When Liu Hou heard this, he thought to himself, yes, Ma Jun's attainments in carpentry are no worse than Zhang Heng's, and may even be higher, after all, Zhang Heng is versatile and has high achievements in many aspects.

Versatility means that you don't have too much time to put on one aspect. And Ma Jun is different, his main business is carpenter and mechanism, all day long is to study this, he and Zhang Heng compared, as if one is a carpenter amateur, the other is a professional player, so it is natural that Ma Jun's attainments in this area are higher than Zhang Heng. Therefore, in the original history, Ma Jun also had the title of "Wood Saint".

The reality is also true, Ma Jun did have more inventions and creations in carpentry than Zhang Heng, and he also made more contributions to this dynasty. This is also related to Liu Hou's crossing, after all, a lot of knowledge he imparted inspired Ma Jun, giving him the opportunity to create something beyond the level of this era.

"Oh? Then, according to the prime minister's opinion, what title should Mr. Pingzi be awarded? ”

Liu Hou also understands that Zhang Heng's achievements are many and miscellaneous, and carpentry is just one of them. When it comes to academic achievements, there are other scientific and technological achievements, Zhang Heng is a few streets away from Ma Jun, so in later generations, Zhang Heng also has the title of "Science Saint". In this way, it seems that it is really a bit biased to crown Zhang Heng as a "wood saint".

"Your Majesty, how about sealing Mr. Pingzi as the 'Bronze Saint'?" Zhuge Liang said. The reason why he said this is probably related to the fact that the geodynamic instrument is made of copper.

"No, no, whether it's wood or copper, it's just the material used to create things, and the key is not in the material, but in the mechanism and the technique. According to what you said, Prime Minister, if someone makes some outstanding mechanism out of iron, gold, silver, or even bamboo, will I want to seal them "Iron Saint", "Gold Saint", "Silver Saint", and "Bamboo Saint"? Then there are too many saints in this world. Liu Hou said dissatisfied.

"This" Zhuge Liang was speechless for a while.

"Why don't you do it, Hirako

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Mr.'s most outstanding achievement is the invention of the geodynamic instrument, and the most remarkable thing about the geokinetic instrument is the sophisticated mechanism in it, so let's call him the 'machine saint'. Liu Hou said again.

He originally wanted to copy Zhang Heng's other title in later generations, "Kesheng", after all, Zhang Heng has good achievements in many scientific fields, and if there is no Liu Hou's appearance, he does deserve this name.

However, after Liu Hou came, the course of history was completely disrupted, because he imparted a lot of scientific knowledge to Zuo Ci and his apprentices, and then through Zuo Ci's master and apprentice. There is no doubt that the level of science and technology of Zuo Ci's master and apprentice is much higher than that of Zhang Heng.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Zuo Ci's master and apprentice are undoubtedly the originators of various science and technology. Even if it is said that even if you want to seal any "science saint", it should be given to Zuo Ci, so, after compromise, I thought of the title of "machine saint".

"This" Zhuge Liang showed a reluctant look, and said: "Weichen thinks that the teacher of our Organ Research Institute is no less accomplished than Mr. Pingzi in organ science. ”

"Teacher of the Organ Academy" Liu Hou listened to Zhuge Liang's words, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized.

Among the many research institutes of Dahan Longteng College, the two largest research institutes are the Institute of Institutions and the Institute of Chemistry. At present, the scale of the institute is very large, and the masters of the institute from all over the country gather here, and many military and civilian machines are invented from here every year.

Among the many organ masters, the two most outstanding are Ma Jun and Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying's skills are no worse than Ma Jun's, the Stirling engine used in the hot air balloon is from her, and the steam engine that is now being studied is also under her control.

In some legends, the wooden ox and flowing horse are actually from her, but they are just pretending to be Zhuge Liang's name. Therefore, if Ma Jun is qualified to be canonized, then Huang Yueying, who is as famous as him, is definitely also eligible.

Liu Hou couldn't have imagined that Zhuge Liang, who has always been dedicated and selfless, would fight for his wife's rights for the first time. It seems that the honorary title of "Saint" really has a super invincible temptation ~ charm.

Note 1: The Zhang Fu mentioned in the previous chapter is indeed a descendant of Zhang Heng, but he was an official in the Jin Dynasty. For the sake of the plot, the author asked him to be born decades early.
