"Not recorded?" Lao Zhu frowned deeply, and first looked at the first pile, his fifth son didn't know why, writing from left to right, many words were compared, etc., and there were many mistakes and omissions, which can be described as a series of typos. Lao Zhu could only barely understand something.

I saw that in this pile of papers, most of them were some later stories, poems and songs, and occasionally there were some words with unknown meanings such as "Angel Meng" and "Mikami Yua", and the old Zhu and the prince Zhu Biao were confused.

Among these poems and songs, although there are many shocking sentences, Lao Zhu at this time has no leisure to care. After all, no matter how good the words are, they are just idle chats for entertainment, how to talk about them with the world's major events?

The second pile of paper, but many drawings and manuscripts. There were strange-looking, fire-like things, arched stone kilns, barrel-like stoves, mountains, sun, moon, stars, and so on. Because there are many strange symbols on it, the two still can't understand it.

The third pile of paper is the most upright pile, which is written from right to left, and the font is also a thin gold font. Lao Zhu looked through it slightly, this seems to be a book of arithmetic, there are still many symbols in it, and it is very laborious to read.

"This old five, don't write these useless things on the most critical Ming historical record paper!" Lao Zhu threw the stack of papers on the table, and his tone was painful.

Zhu Biao looked at the paper repeatedly. These messy pages have not yet been bound, and Zhu Biao has not studied arithmetic in depth, so it looks very difficult. But he knew very well that this book must be a hundred times more important than the history of the Ming Dynasty in the heart of the fifth brother Zhu Su.

"Daddy. When I was in the house with my brother-in-law Mu Ying, I heard the fifth brother talk about it. ”

"The system is to the world, like flowing water to a waterhole."

"If the system remains unchanged for eternity, just as there is stagnant water in a deep pool, it will definitely stink and rot over time."

"Only by infusing it with living water can it remain clear forever. Therefore, what the father should ask for is not a system that can be practiced for eternity, but a steady stream of 'living water'. ”

"Oh?" Lao Zhu came to be interested. "In the past, I also heard Lao Wu say that no system can last forever. We've listened to it, but ...... It is still hundreds of years away from the end of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"If we don't start with the system, how can we control the chaos that will be hundreds of years later? Could it be that like those faint kings before him, he seeks immortality? ”

"Of course not." Zhu Biao shook his head. "The fifth brother once asked me a question. He said: I am a Chinese in the Central Plains, and I am also civilized. Those who are outside the Hu are barbaric. Why is it that our Chinese nation has inherited it for thousands of years and is so great, but it always needs to raise the material resources of the whole country to resist the Hu people in northern Xinjiang? ”

"Could it be that the Chinese nation is actually weaker than the barbarians?"

"How do you answer?" Lao Zhu looked interested, straightened up, and sat upright.

"The child thinks that those barbarians outside the Seychelles are just a moment of murder. I don't see the Huns and Wuhuan in the past, but now I am safe? And I, Hanmin, have been inherited for hundreds of generations. There will be occasional catastrophes in Shenzhou, and there will definitely be people like you who will come forward and rush away from the sky of the Han people. This is where our civilization is stronger than barbarism. ”

"Well, well said!" Lao Zhu slapped the table and praised vigorously. "Saiwaihu people, do not know etiquette and righteousness, do not respect their ancestors, and can An understand what national righteousness? This is the reason why their generation dies and dies, but my generation can always stand. ”

"Yes. That's what the child thinks. Zhu Biao nodded. But in fact, this answer is to avoid the core root of the fifth brother's question: Why is my Chinese nation always not the opponent of those Saiwaihu people when they fight? ”

So at that time, the child was silent. The fifth brother asked again: Why in the past when the Zhou Dynasty was in the past, we waited for the ancestors of China, and a vassal state could chase away the barbarians and expand the territory. In the pre-Qin period, only one strong army could make tens of millions of Hu people in the north fearless. ”

"At that time, the people were fierce, and they are not comparable to today." Old Zhu Dao.

The same is the child's answer. Zhu Biaodao. But the fifth brother gave a completely different point of view. Weapon generation difference. ”

"Weapon generation?" Lao Zhu frowned.

Zhu Biao nodded, and then repeated to Lao Zhu bit by bit what the weapon generation difference was. Then he said: "Later, when Erchen thought about it carefully, he felt that not only weapons, but also other affairs, there was also a generational difference. ”

"For example, when the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors were slash-and-burn, one acre of land was only more than ten catties of grain. Under the study of the sages of various generations, the grain yield was several times that of the Three Emperors, and the same size of land could feed more people. Therefore, the power of our Han people is becoming more and more barbaric. ”

"In ancient times, the people were clothed in the skins of the leaves of grass and animals. Then there is the ancestral reeling of silk, and there is a reason why 'Huaxia' is different from the barbarians. Without the wisdom of our ancestors, we would all be in animal skins now. ”

"In ancient times, carriages and horses were inconvenient. The first emperor's book is the same text, the car is on the same track, the mountains and rivers are opened, and the road is cultivated all over the road, so that now I have China extending in all directions, with all kinds of times. This is also a generational difference, and the ancients cannot be compared. ”

"These generational differences come down to what Su Di calls 'technology'. The leading technology is the strongest weapon for civilization to deal with barbarism. I look at these manuscripts of Brother Su, which are profound and mysterious, and ordinary people can see them. ”

"Since it is written, it must be the most unforgettable thing that Brother Su thinks."

"These manuscripts ...... I'm afraid that it is the foundation of many technological developments in China in the future! ”

"Oh?" Lao Zhu narrowed his eyes, half-convinced. "Sounds like a good idea."

"But these things written by Su'er ...... The black and white ones in it are also like ghost drawings. How can anyone understand these Raushs? ”

"Erchen heard the sincerity of Bo Liu Ji, who studied heaven and man, and connected the ancient and modern. These manuscripts do not involve me in the future, so why don't I ask Sincere Uncle to interpret one or two? Zhu Biao suggested.

"Reasonable!" Lao Zhu was also in good spirits. If you can really find the so-called "weapon generation gap" from these piles of paper, it will be in vain to be able to beat the Northern Yuan. After all, three hundred years later, it is still far away, and destroying the strong neighbor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is the top priority to protect the current Ming Dynasty.

The eunuch who announced the oracle braved the heavy rain to go out of the imperial city, and not long after, Lao Zhu's father and son heard layers of reports from outside: "Your Majesty, the sincerity of the uncle has been waiting outside the East Pavilion." ”

Lao Zhu hurriedly announced his entry, Liu Bowen (Liu Ji, the word Bowen) saw the ceremony, and was about to ask Lao Zhu what he meant, when he saw the first Lao Zhu beckoning to him: "Mr. Liu, come closer." ”

"We heard that you are a celestial scholar, I wonder if you can understand the things on these papers?"

Liu Bowen was stunned. I thought that Lao Zhu had started to test his own thoughts. He thought that he had read through the hundreds of schools of thought and had his own opinions on the scholarship of each school, so he just smiled slightly and leaned over unhurriedly.

But just the first time I looked at the drawings on the table, I almost glared at the eyeballs in my eyes.

"It's ...... Measuring thousands of mountains with mountain shade? Yes! Take the water of the Shengdou to measure the Yellow River? ”

"This one is...... Astrology? This one is ...... again."

"This is the world's unborn thaumaturgy! Where did Your Majesty know? ”
