Everyone saw Chu Zhen's sudden silence, and Lin Daiyu had even stood up and wanted to apologize for what she had just said.

"Sit, it's none of your business."

Chu Zhen asked Sister Lin to sit down again, paused, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang and them: "The West can make a Western clock with an exquisite structure, and with this, it knocks on the door of the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty and begins to preach officials, but Confucianism, which occupies the mainstream of thought, regards these as strange tricks and tricks, and rummags through the four books and five classics to find the great truth of governing the country and the country, resulting in——"

Chu Zhen shut up.

He's a bit of a cynical now.

The backwardness of science and technology at the end of the ancient feudal dynasty was not caused by Zhu Yuanzhang alone, he didn't even have the ability to invite the Confucius tablet out of the Confucian Temple, and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty was even worse than 1,800 years, and Li Qingzhao and Sister Lin didn't need to be responsible.

The appearance of Western clocks and Western watches in the Dream of Red Mansions marked the beginning of the great strides forward in Western science and technology, which had lagged behind the East for thousands of years.

Chu Zhen looked at the Dashun Dynasty where Sister Lin was in the eyes of the future generations, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Attributing the backwardness of modern science and technology to the king and to Confucianism is only one-sided.

Sister Lin's Dashun Dynasty replaced the Qing Dynasty, and there was not much confinement, so she might be able to catch up.

"Chu, Chu Langjun?"

The first time Li Qingzhao saw Chu Zhen's gaffe, he had always laughed and scolded before, saying that there were no taboos here.

Even the previous criticism of the Confucian Mansion of the Holy Prince, did not have those words as spicy.

"It's fine."

Chu Zhen quickly calmed down and said to the three of them: "I'll tell you how to use these things, first of all, the telescope, turn this ...... to adjust the field of vision."

Let them try it out as you talk about it.

"In the late Ming Dynasty, there were these 'strange tricks'? Yiren still got an official? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang held the watch and asked Chu Zhen in a surprised tone.

Western missionaries knocked on the door of Daming Palace with Western bells, and obtained the title of emperor of the Ming Dynasty and were able to preach.

"Matteo Ricci, who was the first to come, had no official position, but he had a good relationship with the ministers such as the first assistant to the cabinet, and later in the Qing Dynasty, Western missionaries generally held the position of Qintian supervisor because their astronomical observations were more accurate and could accurately predict solar and lunar eclipses."

Chu Zhen's words made Zhu Yuanzhang frown deeply.

No wonder Chu Zhen said before that he should reform the Qintianjian and allow the people to learn astronomy and observe the sky, but it turned out that the Chinese calendar began to lag behind Fanyi in the late Ming Dynasty.

Lin Daiyu said: "I heard my father mention by chance that the imperial court had a dispute over the compilation of almanacs, and opposed Western missionaries entering the Qintianjian to hold official positions. ”

Chu Zhen nodded and said, "You can tell your father, if you have the ability, translate more books from Western astronomy, geography and craftsmen, and the rest depends on his ability." ”

Lin Ruhai is a fourth-grade official, restricted everywhere, Chu Zhen gives him things, and he will be like Li Shimin, he has to rely on the emperor's support or not.

It is already good that Lin Ruhai can use his influence to do something a little.

"These things are all made by Western Fanyi?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took the watch and binoculars and asked Chu Zhen.

"It's done domestically. We have fallen behind, we have been beaten, but now we have caught up, and recently there is one less jewel in the crown of industry. ”

Chu Zhen mentioned the latest news with a smile.

originally wanted to stop the topic, but seeing that even Li Shimin, who was still fighting the world, looked at him, Chu Zhen said again:

"Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, Huaxia has been far ahead of the Quartet, we can be proud, but we can't be complacent. The sea is tolerant of all rivers, and the useful knowledge outside of China can be absorbed and learned in order to maintain the greatness of China. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang fell into thought, and Li Shimin saluted him: "Mr. Chu's teachings, the people of the world keep in mind. ”

"It's far from teaching, just because I think of modern Chinese history, and I feel it."

Chu Zhen wanted to change, but he felt that it was very difficult.

Zhu Yuanzhang is difficult to shake Confucianism, he is still hesitating about Hu Weiyong's affairs, the tax finance is also sparse, Liaodong has not been fought, the Japanese are rampant, many things have to be changed, and he has to do it.

Even if he promotes some technology, as soon as he dies, he will immediately die.

The development of modern science and technology cannot be accomplished by promoting one or two books or building one or two factories.

Li Shimin is even worse, he even has to hide a flashlight, how can he engage in technology?

As for Li Qingzhao and Lin Daiyu......

Don't embarrass them.

Chu Zhen said this, just to plant a seed for the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, whether it can take root and sprout, depends on the follow-up.

"You guys figure it out for yourselves first."

Chu Zhen handed over the compound bow, watch, compass, telescope, etc. to Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang and let them explore and use them.

He went to Sister Lin with Li Qingzhao and picked up Hu Weiyong's article in front of her to read.

Li Qingzhao handed the telescope in his hand to Sister Lin, and after briefly teaching her how to use it, he leaned over to read the strategy with Chu Zhen.

She had already finished reading the previous one, and now Chu Zhen was reading it from the second page.

She discovered something that surprised her:

Chu Langjun reads the article so fast!

More than half faster than her, she turned the next page after a few glances, and soon finished reading the first piece about paving into acres.

When he began to watch the integration of the officials and gentry to pay grain, Li Qingzhao couldn't keep up.

"Look at this."

Chu Zhen handed over what he had seen to her.

After all, he has brushed a lot of reading comprehension, and he can automatically ignore the nonsense in the song, plus the content that praises Zhu Yuanzhang.

Li Dacainu read sentence by word, of course, not as fast as him.

After reading Hu Weiyong's three articles, Chu Zhen looked up and saw Sister Lin holding a telescope, standing by the window and looking into the distance.

How cute and cute it is.

"How? Is there anything you don't understand? ”

Chu Zhen stood up and asked Zhu Yuanzhang about the two.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu!"

Li Shimin, who had completely learned these things, saluted Chu Zhen again happily, and said with a smile: "I came in a hurry this time, so I entered Jincheng to drink, and the next time I come, I will select a few good things from the captured loot and send them to Mr. Chu!" ”

"Okay, I'm not polite to you." Chu Zhen smiled and asked him again, "What do you want me to buy?" Just mention. ”

Li Shimin hesitated and said, "The best thing is a telescope and a compass, but you shouldn't bring too much back." The compound bow is powerful, but it is too delicate, and it is okay to give twenty or thirty to cronies, and if there are more, it will invite trouble. On the contrary, the armor and spearhead are in Mr. Chu, which can be easily purchased a lot. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "You have to hand over the armor when you take it back, and it will be controlled by the Ministry of War." ”

For many years in Wude, Li Jiancheng wanted to hide a little armor after the war, which frightened Li Yuan and almost abolished his crown prince.

Li Shimin thought about it for a long time, but finally gave up.

He couldn't explain where these rust-resistant armor came from, and three or five pieces of clothing could be sewn on the outside of the armor as a cover, and if there were more, they would definitely be discovered.

Chu Zhen said: "I'll rent a warehouse and buy a few hundred sets to store first, and then you want to give it to you later." ”

Maybe Li Shimin doesn't want to be the king of Qin in the future.

“……”

Li Shimin did not refuse, saluted and thanked him, and then put the things in a box and prepared to leave.

"Wait, there's something else."

Chu Zhen threw the bags of tea he bought, some packaged fruits, and a barefoot doctor's book into the box and asked him to take it away.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu!"

After thanking him and saying goodbye, Li Shimin took a box in his hand, took away a bunch of things, plus a set of armor, spearhead, sword, etc.

Chu Zhen looked at his back as he dragged the box away, and then he thought of forgetting to buy two trolleys.
