Twenty years ago, Song Yingxing and his brother Song Yingsheng participated in the township examination, one ranked third in the province and the other ranked sixth in the province.

The third and sixth in the Jiangxi Township Test!

It's a pity that until now, the brothers have not been admitted to the Jinshi.

Three years ago, Song Yingshengquan was elected as the magistrate of Tongxiang. To put it bluntly, it is the relationship between the Ministry of Officials, and the official vacancy is filled as a person. It must have cost money, otherwise it would not be the turn to be called, and Fei Yinghuan was also the governor of the county.

The family spent a lot of money to buy an official for his brother, but he really didn't have the money to buy a magistrate for Song Yingxing, so he postponed it for two years to help Song Yingxing buy an edict.

The teacher is barely an official, the principal of the county public school.

Now that Song Yingxing is in his forties, he came to Fenyi County to teach, which should have been the most important stage of his life, and all his works were completed in these years.

Who knew that when he met Zhao Han, he just started writing "Heavenly Creations", and was arrested by a group of thieves.

"Search the county school and find all this person's belongings," Zhao Han glanced at Song Yingxing, "Especially the manuscripts!" ”

Half an hour later, the soldier carried the box to the county office.

Zhao Han squatted down and looked through it slowly, there were Song Yingxing's travel notes, as well as countless technical data notes, including agricultural machinery, ceramics, bricks and tiles, metallurgy, gunpowder, textiles, mining, meteorology, etc.

"Heavenly Creations" has already begun to be written, but it only has the content of planting crops.

Zhao Han picked up those pages of manuscript, but it was about planting rice, and he drew many farm tools with pictures and texts.

After a cursory reading, Zhao Han commented: "False, there are early rice and late rice in rice planting, and you only record early rice." Late rice, you can use japonica to sow seeds, your information is not collected. ”

"Huh?"

Song Yingxing originally looked generous and righteous, but it wasn't until he found his manuscript and materials that this gentleman became a little afraid, for fear that the thief would burn his manuscript.

But he didn't think about it, the thief actually discussed rice planting technology with him, Song Yingxing frowned and said: "Is there really a way to plant late rice?" ”

"Where are you from?" Zhao Han asked.

Song Yingxing replied: "Fengxin County, Nanchang Prefecture." ”

"As far as I know, there are already farmers planting late rice in northeastern Jiangxi, and late rice has also begun to be planted in southern Jiangxi." Zhao Han was right, but in fact, the information came from the grain merchant.

Song Yingxing also ignored the other party's identity as an anti-thief, and asked curiously: "You only need japonica rice seeds, can you plant late rice?" ”

"No," Zhao Han corrected, "I asked people to try to plant late rice in Luling County, but the harvest was not very good." Careful calculation should be due to insufficient heat and light. Crops want to grow well, nothing more than water and heat. The further south you go, the hotter it gets throughout the year, and I've heard that in some parts of Guangdong, you can grow two or three crops of rice a year. ”

"Two or three seasons?" Song Yingxing was shocked.

Zhao Han said with a smile: "Many things, not only to know what they are, but also to know why they are. Just like this kind of rice, if you want to harvest a few more crops, you must be in the south, which can be known to be the reason for the heat of the light. ”

Song Yingxing said: "If I have the opportunity, I will go to Guangdong to have a look." ”

Zhao Han squatted down again and continued to rummage, but he really found the information on making weapons. There were bows, arrows, gunpowder, guns, etc., but unfortunately no trebuchet was found.

"Why aren't there catapults?" Zhao Han asked.

Song Yingxing replied, "I haven't seen it." It's the warships of the Daming Naval Division, either with artillery or crossbows, who will use catapults? ”

Well, catapults have been eliminated.

When it was almost time to eat, Zhao Han took Song Yingxing to eat, and asked people to guard the information in the box.

Song Yingxing followed in a daze, all he thought about was the wooden box. Even if Zhao Han let him go, this goods will not leave, and the box contains the hard work he has collected for twenty years.

There is wine and meat.

Today, the whole army has meat to eat, after all, after many days of hard marching, it is necessary to make up for the body.

There is no need to rob it, take the silver of the county, and run to the butchers in the city to buy it, and the butchers dare not sell it.

"Bring the wine, I want to entertain Mr. Song." Zhao Han shouted.

Mr. Song didn't speak, just sat down and looked at Zhao Han, wanting to get back his manuscript and materials.

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Mr. Song eats." ”

Song Yingxing said: "I have a long-term follower who ran away when he ran for his life. ”

Zhao Han immediately instructed his subordinates: "Post a notice in the whole city, saying that Mr. Song is my guest, and let Mr. Song's entourage come to the county government quickly." ”

"This ...... This is unacceptable. Song Yingxing stood up in shock, once the notice was posted, wouldn't it announce that he had become a thief?

"Make, make." Zhao Han laughed.

Song Yingxing had no choice but to sit down angrily.

Soon, the good wine collected by the county was served on the table.

Zhao Han personally poured wine for Song Yingxing and asked, "Sir, do you know the principle of leverage?" ”

Song Yingxing didn't take the wine glass handed by Zhao Han, but picked up the chopsticks to eat, he was really hungry, chewed the food and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Zhao Han turned a wine glass upside down, put his fingers on the table as a fulcrum, and pried the wine glass up with chopsticks: "This is the principle of leverage, from my fingers to the wine glass, the distance of the chopsticks is the resistance arm, and from my fingers to the power arm." ”

Song Yingxing suddenly said with contempt: "It's a mess, this is the reason for specimens!" ”

"Specimens?" Zhao Han didn't understand.

Song Yingxing pointed casually: "The front section is the original, and the back section is the standard." ”

Well, since Mozi's time, the resistance arm of the lever is called "Ben", and the power arm of the lever is called "Biao".

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Mr. Song, I have a discovery. The force of my hand is multiplied by the length of the target, which is equal to the length of the pry multiplied by the length of the weight, which I named the lever principle. ”

Song Yingxing was immediately attracted by these words and wanted to go home immediately to verify.

He has already thought about the content of the verification test, and he can directly use a large scale.

In fact, Mozi has already revealed the principle of leverage and expounded the problem of proportion, but the description is very rough and does not form a clear formula.

The two stopped talking and buried their heads in eating.

To fill his stomach, Zhao Han did not move, but asked people to carry the box.

Zhao Han carefully flipped through the manuscript, suddenly smiled, and read an article aloud: "Cure the extreme thinking chaos, think about the chaos of the chaos, and the number of multiplication and division of this heaven and earth is also ...... The Northwest is plagued, and the Central Plains is burned, and only the city remains, and the villages and towns are all burned with ashes, I don't know how many. The living people die today in the Kou, and tomorrow in the soldiers...... When this political turmoil is extremely thoughtful, things can still be done in the world, and there is no need to be frustrated by multiplication and division. ”

Song Yingxing sat on the bench and turned to look at the scenery outside the house, not knowing what he was thinking in his mind.

Zhao Han smiled happily: "Mr. Song, your article seems to be self-energized and wants to save Sheji." But except for the last sentence, the whole article is talking about the change of dynasty. ”

"Nonsense," Song Yingxing denied, "In this troubled era, it is the time for my generation of scholars to rise up. ”

Zhao Han nodded and said: "Scholars should rise up, and I am also a reader, so I rose up and worked hard, intending to recreate Lang Lang Qiankun!" ”

"You're a rebellion!"

Song Yingxing suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Luling Zhao Yan, have you heard of it?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

Song Yingxing exclaimed: "You are actually that Zhao thief, why did you come to Fenyi?" ”

Zhao Han did not answer, but continued to read Song Yingxing's manuscript, and immediately smiled even more happily when he saw "People's Financial Discussion".

Song Yingxing's "People's Financial Discussion", the content is to the effect that-

Daming has fallen to this point, but it is just the words "the people are poor and the wealth is exhausted".

Wealth not only refers to silver, but also all department stores in the world are wealth. There is a lot of wealth in the Ming Dynasty, but it is only gathered in the hands of a few people. The people were exploited to the point that they could not survive, so the court could not collect taxes. The more difficult the finances, the more they have to urge the levy, leading to a vicious circle. Not only that, but the thieves in the world couldn't survive, so they rose up one after another to rebel.

In the article, Song Yingxing directly used the word "exploitation".

In addition, articles such as "Tuntian Discussion", "Urging Science Discussion", "Military Salary Discussion", and "Military Training Discussion" all pointed directly to the core problems of the imperial court, but did not give correct countermeasures.

In other words, there is no way to give a countermeasure, because the roots of Daming are rotten.

Zhao Han commented: "It's all good articles, Mr. is a great talent, but it's a pity that Emperor Chongzhen can't use it." ”

"It's because I didn't get into the Jinshi, otherwise I would have done something." Song Yingxing actually understands it in his heart, but he must be tough in front of the thief.

Zhao Han asked, "How does Jun compare with Mr. Li Mengyan?" ”

Song Yingxing thought for a while and said, "Mr. Meng Yan, I am not as good as being a talented person in the world." ”

Zhao Han said with a smile: "This talented person who has helped the country in the world, was demoted by the emperor and returned to his hometown, and now he is working for me." ”

"You will be forced to kill your money!" Song Yingxing sneered.

Zhao Han shook his head and said, "From beginning to end, I have never forced Mr. Meng Yan. When he took refuge in me, no one of his people was under my rule. He took the initiative to serve me after Guanwu's administration. If you talk too much, you won't believe it, so come back with me in a few days. ”

After reading Song Yingxing's article, Zhao Han didn't want to talk about any more reasoning, because the other party understood these truths.

Reading between the lines, all Zhao Han read was despair, and even the smell of broken jars.

Song Yingxing was arranged to live in the county government, and his house slaves soon came to meet him.

"How's it going in the city?" Song Yingxing asked.

The house slave replied: "These thieves are very good, they do not kill people and set fires, but maintain law and order." Inside and outside the county, it was better than before, and the traitors were so frightened that they hid. ”

Song Yingxing was stunned, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

He is very clear about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, and the "World Fortune Discussion" is written very strangely. The whole article is vaguely expressing the view of the end of the dynasty, and at the end, a sentence suddenly comes, saying that although it is in troubled times, the reader should not be depressed, and should cheer up to save the situation.

It's just self-deception.

What can Song Yingxing do?

Although he was born in a big family, even his brother's money to buy officials was scraped together. And his elder brother, who only served as the county magistrate for two years, brought back a lot of silver to the family.

Song Yingxing was able to go to Fenyi County to teach, and the money paid for buying officials also included the silver embezzled by his brother!

He was in the middle of the game, he could see clearly, and he couldn't act.

Alas, don't talk about politics, or indulge in side roads.

The next morning, Song Yingxing took the initiative to visit Zhao Han and wanted to get a scale to verify the principle of leverage.

The guard guarding the county government said: "Mr. Song will stay for a few days, the main town is not in the county government office at present." ”

Song Yingxing exclaimed: "Did he send troops to Yuanzhou Mansion?" ”
