Chapter 238: The Controversy Between Science and Confucianism
As if interrupted on purpose,
Bang
Cheng Yi was about to seriously refute Zhao Shi when he heard it...... With a bang, a wisp of black smoke rose from the backyard of the Kaifeng Mansion, and there was a thick, pungent smell mixed in the middle of the black smoke......
"What's going on?"
Zhao Shi asked sideways,
"I'll take a look." Since Yang Chuan saw the side of the old oil man by Zhao Shi, he was a little anxious to behave, and hurriedly rushed to the backyard, and came back after a while, with a somewhat strange expression: "Shen Kuo seems to be demonstrating to the students what is full of fire." ”
Blazing?
Zhao Shi frowned slightly, he didn't understand too much, but knowing that it was Shen Kuo's ghost, Zhao Shi put down some of his heart, and when he was about to concentrate on dealing with Cheng Yi, he stiffened again and slowly looked at Yang Chuan: "The firelight you said won't be ...... Black powder, right? ”
"Black powder?"
Yang Chuan scratched his head and said uncertainly: "It seems to be quite dark." ”
"Grass!"
Zhao Shidang didn't care about arguing with these Taixue students, he scolded, jumped out of the carriage and rushed to the backyard, and then, just halfway through......
Bang
The backyard is ...... The flames are blazing.
Grass!
Zhao Shi slowly stopped, it was useless to be anxious, and then he saw Shen Kuo, whose whole face was dark, rushing out of the backyard in a hurry with more than a dozen seven or eight-year-old ditch children, each with a few wisps of black smoke behind them......
The collision of science and Confucianism?
Zhao Shi couldn't help but look at Cheng Yi and the others who ran after him, as well as ...... Dozens of ordinary people, including one common man, were still pushing his wheelbarrow, and he said...... Do all my Kaifeng officials eat dry rice?
Zhao Shi looked at Yang Chuan,
looked at Zhou Tong again,
The training of the officials of the Kaifeng Mansion is really on the agenda, and then he looked at Shen Kuo faintly and said, "You are studying black powder in the Kaifeng Mansion where people come and go?" ”
"Try, try."
Shen Kuo was a little embarrassed: "The main thing is that the students want to see it." ”
Students?
The students looked at each other, and then looked at the child of Cui Niangzi, who was saved by Zhao Shi The child called "mongrel", "mongrel" was later named Cui Pin by Zhao Shi, Cui Pin said seriously: "Ah Lang, it's not that the students want to see it, it's the teacher who has to show it to us." ”
Shen Kuo shuddered,
I was so good to you before, and then I listened to Cui Pin seriously: "It's just that the teacher is our teacher, can I beg Ah Lang not to punish him?" ”
Zhao Shi was stunned,
was about to speak, but Cheng Yi, who followed closely, had his eyes lit up and couldn't help asking, "What's your name?" ”
Cui Pin was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Shi, Zhao Shi nodded slightly, he took it seriously, and gave Cheng Yi a meticulous salute: "Elder Lao asks, student Cui Pin." ”
Cheng Yi's eyes suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, and sighed: "You are so young, but you already know how to be loyal and righteous, it's really rare, have you read the Four Books and the Five Classics?" ”
"Four books and five classics, students just read roughly."
"Rough reading." Cheng Yi frowned slightly, it doesn't matter if a folk prince like Zhao Shi doesn't study, it's a waste for a student who knows benevolence and righteousness at such a young age not to study.
"Hmm."
Cui Pin didn't think there was anything wrong, glanced at Zhao Shi again, and continued to answer: "Students mainly study arithmetic. ”
"Arithmetic? Arithmetic? ”
Not only Cheng Yi, but Zhen Ling all came over and frowned: "How can such a subtle technique as arithmetic be learned as the main knowledge?" ”
"The art of micro-end?"
Shen Kuo was originally reluctant to deal with these Taixue students who looked above the top at first glance, but when he heard the four words of the art of micro-end...... He instinctively stopped his movements and slowly looked at Zhen Ling, Zhen Ling frowned slightly: "As a teacher, you don't teach the science of governing the world, but only teach these subtle techniques, don't you let people say it?" ”
I won't let people say it.
Shen Kuo slowly turned his head: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that arithmetic is the foundation of all laws, if he doesn't even understand arithmetic, even if he learns it again, he is just a man with empty tongues." ”
You can say that again.
Zhao Shi applauded in his heart, that is...... Why do you want to add a sentence...... The prince once said? Didn't you notice that you were arguing with people, but almost all of them were looking at me?
Zhao Shi was a little helpless,
Shen Kuo didn't give in more and more, he originally liked arithmetic, hydraulics, astronomy, which are definitely not mainstream in this world, but he had to temporarily give up his liking for these things in order to seek officials, but when he met Zhao later, Zhao Shi came, he could give him an official, and secondly, it was indeed different from this world, and the attitude of other big men towards science gradually caused Shen Kuo to focus on what he liked, what he liked......
How can you be insulted?
It is......
Don't add the crown prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said...... Shen Kuo seemed to have a disease that could not speak without His Royal Highness the Prince, and stared at Zhen Ling and said: "Whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, or Lao Zhuangxue, Huang Laoxue, or even Yin and Yang Theory, in fact, it is just a philosophy that satisfies people's spiritual pursuits!" ”
"Philosophy?"
Zhen Ling, Cheng Yi, and even Jia Changchao, Hu Yuan and others, who were hidden in dozens of people to follow up, all looked at Zhao Shi slowly......
Look at my dry hair?
Zhao Shi glared at Shen Kuo fiercely, you are not angry, you are jealous, you want to compete against each other, you will fight against each other, what are you doing with me?
"What a philosophy."
Zhen Ling slowly retracted his gaze at Zhao Shi, and said with a somewhat yin and yang weirdness: "Confucianism is the only one, Confucianism is already ignorant enough to juxtapose with what Taoism, yin and yang, and what Huang Lao's doctrine, but I didn't expect that there are still people who collectively refer to these knowledgeable scholars as what...... Philosophy? ”
Don't look at me!
Zhao Shi slowly stood with his hands down, and Shen Kuo replied: "That's what I said...... If you have real skills, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said...... Can philosophy count how much sand and gravel is used to control the water, and how much labor is used to control the water? ”
Zhen Ling froze,
Looking at Zhao,
Do you usually talk to people like that? You are embarrassed to hang the portrait of Old Master Confucius, and then gritted your teeth slightly: "Confucianism is a university of governance, including arithmetic, not arithmetic......"
"Oh?"
Shen Kuo didn't think arithmetic was very important, but during this time, with the contact with Zhao Shi, although Zhao Shi was not a mathematical power, after all, he came from later generations, had a solid scientific worldview, and was deeply rooted, and he would bring it out unconsciously, so Shen Kuo was gradually influenced, that is, ......
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said......"
Zhao Shi slowly closed his eyes,
I swear, I really just want to touch the skin of the doctor and see how they react, I didn't want to poke my heart, but Shen Kuo became more and more courageous the more he fought: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that if the world has no so-called governance of the world, what the people have not seen, but if there is no arithmetic, you may not even know how old you are, right?" ”
"Outrageous."
syllable
In the rear of the people, an old man in his sixties slapped the shoulder of the people pushing the wheelbarrow, and scolded: "This is the real misleading saying, if there is no benevolence and righteousness, people will not be human, even if there is arithmetic, what is the use?" ”
Liu Xin.
Zhao Shi slowly looked at a middle-aged man in his forties who was a little unkempt beside Liu Xin, and only felt that there was a ...... in this middle-aged man The breath of the universe.
