Chapter 148: Future Academy President

As Chongzhen said, Gu Gao did overestimate his own influence.

The final result also fully proved that Gu Gao's death did not set off even a trace of waves, but made the six thousand Qin Wang Shizi become military disciplined, and even those sons of the family swept away their lazy style.

Fang Yizhi, Wu Yingji, and Mao Xiang and other sons and brothers are all like different people.

Because of going deep into the mountains, the next journey becomes more difficult to walk, the food is also the same vulgar, every day is either a meal or a wrinkled rice, occasionally can only eat a hot meal, the condiments are always vinegar cloth, vinegar steamed cakes and tempeh, occasionally can be divided into a few pieces of dried black plum, most of them are thirsty, and can not find clean drinking water for a while, so take black plum to quench thirst.

But even so, Fang Yizhi, Wu Yingji and other sons have never complained of bitterness again.

Sometimes, one human head can really solve many problems, and if one can't, then two.

On this day, when he was marching, Zheng Sen suddenly turned back from the front: "Brother Mi, the Holy God has called you." ”

If this had been put aside, Fang Yizhi would definitely be too happy, but today he was taken aback.

After being stunned for a moment, Fang Yizhi asked in despair: "Brother Da Mu, do you know why the Holy Lord was summoned?" ”

"How can I know this?" Zheng Sen shook his head and said, "Brother Mi, don't you know when you go to see the Holy Lord." ”

Fang Yizhi could only come to the Chinese army to meet with apprehension, but he saw Chongzhen and Dingwang Zhu Cijiong both barefoot and marching with King Qin.

The father and son even carried heavy leather bags on their backs.

By the way, at this time, the prince of Qin had already penetrated deep into the Dabie Mountains, so the carriages were abandoned, and all the baggage and rations of the army could only rely on the back of the soldiers.

Although Yiding had horses, his horses did not carry heavy burdens, nor did they ride them when he marched.

Therefore, every Qinwang scholar has to carry a weight ranging from 20 to 30 catties.

Fang Yizhi visually inspected the big leather bag on Chongzhen's back, to say that there were fifty or sixty catties.

Seeing this, Fang Yizhi's heart swelled with inexplicable emotions, and at the same time, he felt more and more sorry for Gu Gao, with Gu Gao's talent and learning, when he met such a holy monarch, he really had the opportunity to show his talents.

"Fang Mizhi, are you here?" Chongzhen stopped to say hello.

Chongzhen actually wanted to talk to Fang Yizhi for a long time, but he never had time.

When he was in Nanjing before, Chongzhen had been busy with the layout of imperial merchants and banks, and after leaving Nanjing to go north, he was busy preparing for the exams for the Qinwang scholars a few days ago, so he couldn't spare time.

For the future Daming, Fang Yizhi is undoubtedly very important.

If it is said that the future Daming will also have an institution similar to the Academy of Sciences, then the dean and vice president will definitely be Fang Yizhi and Song Yingxing, and there will be no one else.

Chongzhen really didn't have time before.

But now, it's time to talk about it for a long time.

Fang Yizhi bowed to the ground and saluted: "The minister knocks to see the saint." ”

Zhu Cijiong also put down his leather bag and saluted Fang Yizhi: "Meet the master." ”

Fang Yizhi was a Jinshi, served as a reviewer of the Hanlin Academy, and also served as a lecturer of Dingwang Zhu Cijiong and Yongwang Zhu Cijiong, and even Chongzhen once listened to his classes.

It stands to reason that Fang Yizhi should take up the original position.

When Fang Yizhi was in Beijing, it was reviewed by the Hanlin Academy, and when he went to Nanjing, it should be reviewed by the Hanlin Academy.

But in fact, officials like Fang Yizhi, who escaped from Beijing when the thieves were defeated, basically did not have the opportunity to take up their original posts after arriving in Nanjing, and all of them became candidates for office.

Because during the forty days in Beijing, they couldn't say clearly.

No one wants to prove to them that they are not in the hands of thieves.

Of course, this is only a superficial reason, in fact, it is still a party dispute, and the Jiangnan civil official clique has occupied all the positions in the court, and there are no more positions for fugitives in Beijing.

Therefore, Fang Yizhi became a member of the Qinwang Shizi.

"Hey, you don't have to salute with your baggage on your back." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Besides, didn't I say before that there are only generals in the army, and there is no emperor, so there is no need to be so formal." ”

"Yes." Fang Yizhi only settled down at this point.

"I don't know what the Holy Majesty has summoned his ministers for?"

"It's not a big deal, I just want to talk to you casually."

Chongzhen smiled and said, "King Ding once recommended your knowledge of physics to me. ”

Fang Yizhi's heart moved slightly, but he said modestly: "There is a lot of knowledge in the book that is too general, and the minister has recently discovered it and is ready to make a revision. ”

Fang Yizhi's words were really just modest.

As a result, Chongzhen said: "Your physics knowledge is indeed too general. ”

"Huh?" Fang Yizhi's face fell, and he said in his heart Although you are a saint, you can't say that, right? The principles of various things recorded in my physics knowledge have been extremely detailed, where is the generality?

"It seems that you are not quite convinced," Chongzhen said with a smile, "Then I ask you, in the physics volume of the eight utensils, there is a record of glass and glass, saying that the method of burning glass in Yanshen Town, Yidu, Shandong, you recorded it very rough and general, one did not say the structure of the stove that burned glass, two did not say how many degrees the temperature of the stove should be, and three did not explain that the boiled stone was slurry heavy filtration, what kind of filtration method was it?" Do you use the Internet? What kind of filter is used? All of these are very general. ”

"This!" Fang Yizhi was speechless for a moment, it seemed that there was really some roughness, but it was necessary to write in such detail?

Fang Yizhi thought so in his heart and said it out of his mouth: "Holy Lord, it's not that the minister can't write in such detail, but if he writes in such detail, will anyone read it?" If no one is watching, wouldn't it be superfluous? ”

Chongzhen asked, "So what is the purpose of your writing physics trivia?" ”

Fang Yizhi said: "Naturally, it is to introduce these little knowledge to the world. ”

"So, it's still small." Chongzhen said, "You can take a more long-term view. ”

Fang Yizhi's face instantly turned red, although it was the emperor who criticized him, but being criticized for being small still made him feel inexplicably ashamed.

Chongzhen said: "The purpose of your book should not be to popularize these small knowledge to the world, but to make a statement, like Confucius and Mencius, to write a monograph that is enough to influence future generations for thousands of years!" ”

"Huh?" Fang Yizhi looked at Chongzhen dumbfounded, writing a monograph? Celebrated? Immortal?

I have to say that Fang Yizhi really hadn't thought about this before, and he didn't feel that he had this qualification.

But to say that Fang Yizhi has no ambition for this, it must be wrong, which scholar in the world does not want to achieve the three immortals of virtue, meritorious service and speech?

Chongzhen said: "Speaking of this glass, how much does a small Xiyi glass mirror cost?" ”

Fang Yizhi said: "There are many glass mirrors from Xiyi in the homes of Nanjing gentlemen and merchants, and a small mirror that is less than the size of a palm needs to be as much as ten taels of silver!" ”

Chongzhen said: "Therefore, if you publish the detailed firing method of glass in the monograph, so that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are familiar with the method of glass firing, then the price of the glass mirror will naturally fall, so that the glass mirror can enter the homes of ordinary people at a low price, which is not for the benefit of the world?" ”

"This ......" Fang Yizhi was stunned again, but there seemed to be a door in his heart slowly pushing open.

Chongzhen sighed: "There are many strange people in China since ancient times, all kinds of whimsical ideas can be said to be endless, Mu Sheng Luban once made of wood large flying birds, it is rumored that it can carry people into the air, the divine doctor Hua Tuo can give people craniotomy, etc., etc., etc., but these great inventions and creations have been lost in the end, why?" ”

Fang Yizhi subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”

Chongzhen said: "Because they failed to leave a detailed academic monograph that could be copied by future generations!" Just like the physics you wrote, after reading it, future generations can only know that these things exist, but they don't know the composition of these things, and the detailed methods of making them, and over time they will gradually disappear. ”

"Understood." Fang Yizhi seems to have an understanding, "So we have to make the work useful." ”

"That's right, you have to use it to pass it on." Chongzhen nodded happily, "Why did Confucius, Mencius, and Zhuzi's articles circulate for thousands of years?" It is because of its use, the scholar must be proficient in the articles of the sages and then be able to Chinese style, and the scholar can use it for eternity, and it is enough for the people to use it for eternity! ”

"Holy Lord, the minister understands." Fang Yizhi said solemnly, "This time, the minister returned to his hometown, and from then on, he closed the door to give a detailed introduction to the physics knowledge. ”

"Wrong, you're wrong again." Chongzhen shook his head, "To engage in academic research, the most taboo is to work behind closed doors, you have to gather people who are interested in this, and work together to achieve things, especially methods such as firing glazed glass, smelting iron, frying steel and casting, etc., which cannot be accurately measured in the field of first-line workshops." ”

"Oh yes, the Holy One has a point." Fang Yizhi was stunned.

The conversation is almost over, Chongzhen himself doesn't have the time and energy to order the technology tree, so he has to find someone to do it instead of him, and this person is Fang Yizhi.

Chongzhen will provide the general direction, and let Fang Yizhi lead people to do the specific research.

In the future, there may be scientists from Europe to join, and it depends on how many Bu Miga can fool.

However, this matter is not in a hurry, and it is useless to be anxious, because the progress of science and technology is inseparable from the development of industry and commerce, thousands of years before the industrial revolution, there was almost no substantial progress in science and technology, but after the industrial revolution, science and technology ushered in a leapfrog development, why?

The reason is actually very simple, because of the benefits!

Without the drive of profits, it is difficult to promote the progress of science and technology by government decrees alone.

Therefore, before the industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty prospered, before the businessmen tasted the sweetness and were unwilling to invest in scientific and technological progress, it was delusional to point to the science and technology tree.

Chongzhen is now making a foreshadowing, so that Fang Yizhi, the future president of the Ming Academy of Sciences, has an idea, and at the same time, he can also do some basic work first and reserve a group of academic officials.

Then when industry and commerce get up, everything will fall into place.
