Chapter 10 The Mission of Historiography

He Xi said: "I asked this question well. The study of history is not to solve problems in the pile of old papers, but to solve real problems. Learn from the past. Using history as a mirror, we can know the gains and losses. This is the subject of historiography that has never changed. ”

Lian Zining said: "So sir, is there any difference between the historiography you proposed and the traditional historiography? ”

He Xi did not answer directly, but said: "There is a way to read history, read a character, see the predicament he is in, and then cover the book and think for a long time. In contrast, we know the strengths and weaknesses of myself and the ancients. ”

This method is to learn from history. But at a higher level, with the state as the main body, this method of reading history. It's not going to be useful. ”

"Today, the Holy Lord is in court, and the country is in ruins. There are a lot of big issues that need to be addressed. ”

"I'll give you an example. For example, treasure money. Since the imperial court issued the treasure banknotes, the value of the currency has been declining, but what are the reasons and what kinds of problems? Is there anyone flying money from the Tang Dynasty, Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty, and the reform of the gold ingot banknote system, the implementation effect, and the people's acceptance of the situation. The reasons for success or failure, etc., are discussed in detail. A reference for the imperial court's policy. ”

"And these problems are problems that cannot be solved by the original historiography."

"Why can't it be solved?" Song Ne suddenly asked, "Is it only your way to solve this problem?" ”

He Xi said: "To study this problem, these historical materials are scattered in the historical materials of the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, and Yuan Dynasty. Written historical data alone is not enough to study, and it is necessary to study the financial information of the time. Study the use of paper money in people's lives, and so on. ”

"You don't think these things can be studied under the original historiographical framework."

Song Ne didn't know what to say for a while.

In the face of He Xi's words, he had a feeling that he clearly wanted to refute, but he felt that his words and thoughts were blank and powerless in front of He Xi.

Because He Xi was not fighting alone, there were Liang Qichao, Wang Guowei, Lu Simian and others standing behind him. Although He Xi only got some fur from these people, he had already suppressed Song Ne far away.

He Xi said: "Okay. Classes are over. If you have any ideas, come back in the afternoon. This morning's talk is all fiction, and in the afternoon I will talk about my personal achievements. I would also like to share it with you. ”

He Xi immediately collected his own manuscripts. Got up and left.

The prisoners below immediately stood up and saluted, and watched He Xi leave.

Seeing this, He Xi smiled slightly in his heart, compared to when he was in class, the students ran around after class. Now that the teacher is dignified, the teacher does not leave, and these students must maintain a state of courtesy.

As soon as He Xi left the country's prison, he saw the carriage of He Fu. As soon as the curtain of the carriage door was lifted, Princess Anqing showed her head and said, "How is it?" ”

He Xi said: "Yes, full house." ”

In fact, the overall atmosphere in the class was very silent. In He Xi's opinion, he really seemed to be giving a lecture to radish and cabbage, sitting straight one by one without saying a word. And no one dared to wander. But no one responded at all.

He Xi was a little suspicious of himself.

But in front of his wife, naturally he can't say that.

Princess Anqing said: "There is my share here." ”

He Xi's preparation content includes all kinds of ancient books from the Ming Dynasty, as well as a large number of modern books in his mobile phone. There are some things that cannot be faked. The only one who can help He Xi is Princess Anqing.

He Xi said; "That's nature, for the husband to have today, it's all the work of the lady. Thank you, Mrs. -----。 He Xi's last sentence was full of play.

Princess Anqing sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can't listen to it." Princess Anqing felt very happy. Super blissful. It's not just about the technology of the future, it's about mobile phones. At the same time, He Xi is doing a lot of work by Princess Anqing.

No need to be stuck at home. and He Xi are one husband and wife.

This is the life she never imagined before.

Princess Anqing said; "Forget it, let's go eat."

He Xi said: "Do you want to eat at home?" ”

Princess Anqing said, "How far is it to go home." Eat right nearby. ”

He Xi said: "Nearby? ”

Princess Anqing said: "There is a small mansion nearby, I have sold it and let Xiaocui clean it." From now on, we will eat here. ”

He Xi said: "Is there a place in the Guozi Prison? ”

Princess Anqing said: "Just that office? There is just a courtyard, and Liu Shangshu lives together. How can that work. ”

Immediately, He Xi followed Princess Anqing to this new house.

He Xi looked at this small mansion, it was a triple courtyard, and the courtyard was deep. Compared with Hefu, it is naturally not good, but it is also an ordinary student in this era, and it is impossible to afford it after a lifetime of hard work.

Is this a small house?

He Xi seemed to feel Princess Anqing's princess status for the first time. Before, He Xi only felt the gentleness, kindness, and innocence of Princess Anqing. And at this moment, I felt the arrogance of the princess.

------

Huang Zicheng held a bowl of rice and said, "Brother Lian eats." ”

Guozijian provides student dormitories, but Guozijian's student dormitories are not much better than the dormitories of later college students. The situation of the inmates is also a little different. Many of the inmates are dragged by their families. Naturally, some people don't live outside.

Lian Zining and Huang Zicheng are fellow villagers, and they both rent houses outside. The two were shy in their pockets, so they lived together, Lian Zining did not get married, and Huang Zicheng was already married. Mrs. Huang Zicheng's wife Xu cooks.

Lian Zining didn't raise his head at all, but kept the brush in his hand and said; "Put it somewhere."

Huang Zicheng said: "Eat it." It's cold after a while. ”

Lian Zining said: "What have you eaten, you are already full." ”

Huang Zicheng said: "What did you eat? ”

Lian Zining said: "This." ”

Huang Zicheng looked down, but it was what He Xi was talking about in class. Lian Zining only relied on memory to record most of what He Xi said, and he just converted spoken words into written language.

Huang Zicheng said: "This -----"

Lian Zining said: "Small words are righteous. What is the meaning of the micro words, this is the meaning of the micro words, can listen to this words, March does not know the taste of meat, what is this mere rice. ”

Huang Zicheng only realized at this moment that Lian Zining, who is very calm on weekdays, is very uncalm at the moment, and even vaguely a little manic.

It's not that Lian Zining, who has always been calm, is so excited. is because there are too many sociological methods in the content He Xi said. For example, data processing, inductive summary, and logical development. The scientific method and so on. After all, history will also belong to the social discipline in later generations. Naturally, there are many ways in which the social sciences deal with it.

These things are commonplace in the eyes of many people in later generations, but in this era, there is a feeling of earth-shattering.

Many people were shocked by He Xi's expansion of the boundaries of historiography and the renewal of the concept of historiography. This revolutionary development. But Lian Zining keenly felt this. It is even more keenly aware of the boundaries of the application of this method.

There are many methods to know in social sciences. It's all from the side of science.

This is also what He Xi intentionally did. In fact, he wanted to use historiography to encompass all social disciplines. As a result, many later generations of statecraft ideas were introduced. Of course, this is only Ho Xi's long-term plan.

These things make Lian Zining's heart. I can't calm down for a long time.

Eating, at least Lian Zining at this moment didn't feel hungry at all.

Huang Zicheng said: "Yes, what Mr. He said today is really beyond my expectations. But the world is big, and the food is the biggest. ”

Lian Zining said: "Let's eat it later." ”

Huang Zicheng said: "No matter what, you have to eat a little, don't forget, Mr. He still has a class in the afternoon." You don't eat enough. When Mr. He was lecturing, it was not good if he lacked energy. ”

Lian Zining was absent-minded, dividing five by two, and he didn't know if it was rice or sand. It's always done. I didn't even find a grain of rice in the corner of my mouth.

Seeing this, Huang Zicheng took the bowl out. "That's right." After Huang Zicheng walked out, he suddenly came back, opened the door and said, "After you finish writing, let me copy it." ”

After all, not just one person can write down all the lectures for several hours, without missing a bit.
