"You are too underestimated Qin Xian Ao, this person is very angry, he wants to be the Holy Ancestor and a saint. This book is also what he wants to use to make a name for himself in history, how can he play tricks and play word tricks in it? In that case, the old man will not value him so much, there can be no mistakes in this book, and even if there is, it is just ringworm of mustard seeds, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

Cheng Yi smiled and put away the book in his hand: "You don't have to go to the book to find mistakes, so as not to let people say that we are stingy." ”

"But ......"

Yang Shi and You Xing frowned, the last time there was a big demonstration, everyone knew that Luo Xuemen was the most energetic main leader, and now that Qin Xianao's book came out, if he didn't find out the mistakes from it, wouldn't Qin Xianao slap them in the face again, even if they could be cheeky and not exist, but the people of the world, how could the people of the world forget it?

"Isn't it that the teacher has made a new discovery?" asked Youxing.

"It's not a new discovery. Cheng Yi walked out with his hands behind his back, "I often tell you that our science is a rational word, the pursuit of the avenue of heaven and earth, a thing must have a reason, the reason of a thing is the reason of all things, the reason of all things is a heavenly principle, what we seek is the root of the Tao, is the way of the source." ”

"Is the teacher saying that his "Geometric Original" is a small way?" Yang Shi's eyes lit up.

Cheng Yi's eyes flashed: "Geometry, but the art of measuring the land, mountains and rocks, and water, do you say that he is the Great Dao?"

"I see. You Xing nodded, "There is a deep water area for everything, a shallow water area, Wang Anshi lived in the local area and succeeded in changing the law for officials, that is because it is a shallow water area, Wang Anshi entered the court to preside over the change of the law, but failed, this is stepping into the deep water area." Qin Xianao took a fancy to this at a glance, so. He chose 10,000 principles to tackle the problem, so he succeeded, and we tried to seek the truth of all things, but naturally we couldn't. ”

That's true. Yang Shi also nodded, and the two looked at Cheng Yi who was striding in front of him, and Cheng Yi smiled. The steps are strong, but there is a trace of incongruity in the eyes of the two.

"The teacher is old!" Yang Shi said in a low voice.

A house in Xiuzhou.

In the study, the gray-haired old man was drawing a map.

"Click!"

The sound of footsteps sounded, Shen Kuo's face changed suddenly, and his whole body collapsed like a tightened bow.

"Master Shen, I bought Qin Xianao's book. ”

"Qin Xianao?" Shen Kuo's eyes shone like stars, his face became even more nervous, the door slammed open, and a young man walked in. Tap. Shen Kuo shouted, looking at the young man's back with a pair of eyes.

The young man suddenly smiled: "Master Shen." Your wife is not here, I saw her in the Li Mansion before, so I sent you a book, and your wife also agreed to buy this book, and now in this world, the books of the Immortal Kingdom thrown out by Qin Xianao have even been carefully studied by the peddlers and pawns, and Mrs. Zhang is no longer unreasonable. It is also impossible to stop you from reading books. ”

"Humph!"

Shen Kuo snorted coldly: "Of course I know that she won't stop it, but as soon as she's here." Where can I still read in peace?"

The young man's face showed helplessness, this Lord Shen has been on the battlefield anyway, it can be said that the Great Song Dynasty has been on the battlefield for so many years, and he is the only literati who has led troops to the battlefield.

In the wars of the Great Song Dynasty against Western Xia in the past few decades, when this Lord Shen was in charge, he won several battles. recovered a lot of lost land, but later because Xu Xi defeated Yongle City, this Lord Shen was not popular in the court, so he naturally became a scapegoat, and he was brushed to the end and not to mention. I also lost some of my freedom and fell into this situation.

Such a person who has been on the battlefield is afraid of his wife and is afraid of being like this, which can be regarded as a miracle for the ages.

"Lord Shen, I have also read this book, and it is worthy of being from the Immortal Kingdom. The young man said with a smile, handing a book to Shen Kuo, who connected the book and flipped through it.

Qin Xianao, the first time he heard about it was from Shen Mengxi's letter, at that time, the Qin Dynasty had not yet become famous in the world with the name of Qin Xianao, Shen Mengxi praised this young man as if he was a god, saying that his intelligence was unparalleled in the world, and his views were bizarre, and he highly respected miscellaneous studies, especially he Shen Kuo, which did not seem to be fake.

Shen Kuo was skeptical at the time.

Although he was very happy to praise Qin Xianao, it was just that, after all, Qin Xianao's reputation was not obvious at that time, and he Shen Kuo was a famous figure in the world, even if he was down, he got carried away before he was appreciated by a small person.

Then it was rumored that Guo Yuanyuan was married, and Shen Kuo was even more disapproving, thinking that a woman like Guo Yuanyuan married a young man from the Qin family, and the Huajian faction was really becoming more and more ridiculous, but unfortunately although he was also a member of the Huajian faction, he was soft-spoken and couldn't speak.

But it didn't take long for Qin Xianao to make a bet with the people of the world to create a flying celestial sphere.

This shocked Shen Kuo.

Using the principle of Kong Ming lantern to make flying balls, Shen Kuo has studied very widely in his life, he has also paid attention to this Kong Ming lantern, but he has never thought of using it to carry people to the sky, so he was shocked when he heard the news, and for the first time admitted that it was reasonable for the Huajian faction to marry Guo Yuanyuan to this person, and he understood that Shen Mengxi's letter said that the Qin Dynasty highly respected him Shen Kuo, not because of the politeness of the Qin Dynasty, but because the Qin Dynasty and him Shen Kuo were the same kind of people-

They are all very interested in handymen.

Therefore, Shen Kuo had a strong desire to meet this young man at that time.

It's a pity that the sky is jealous of the talent, although Qin Xianao successfully made the flying ball to the sky in the news, but he also had an accident during this flying trip and the bones were gone, and Shen Kuo sighed for several days at that time.

Fortunately, I got the news from within the Huajian faction that Qin Xianao was just cheating to death, and not long after, Qin Xianao, that is, Duan Haifeng, dragged him Shen Kuo to help with one thing, and Shen Kuo was naturally happy.

Soon after, Qin Xianao appeared in Luoyang, and as soon as he entered Luoyang, he did a big thing - a newspaper.

Shen Kuo didn't know the impact of running a newspaper on the world.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing, which may enlighten the people's wisdom and cause chaos in the world, will inevitably cause a counterattack from the authorities and the entire martial arts world.

Even his wife became the biggest fan of the newspaper.

This made Shen Kuo have to admire all kinds of things, especially looking at every wind and rain that Qin Xianao stirred up in the newspaper, in Shen Kuo's opinion, this is the way to die, and it will definitely cause Luoxue, Huxue, Shushui School, Dong School, Confucianism, Guanxue, and Baiyuan School...... All the strong counterattacks of the pro-Confucian school, but-

Qin Xianao became more and more moisturized. Now it seems that even the saints of Confucius and Mencius and the hundred schools of thought have been affected, and of course it has also caused the biggest counterattack in the martial arts world so far - Han Jiang set up a situation with 'death'.

"In this game, is Qin Xianao winning, or is Han Zihua a step ahead?"

Shen Kuo couldn't wait to open the pencil printing book in his hand, and Shen Kuo was also very puzzled by the title of the book 'Geometric Original' at the beginning. But when he turned to the preface again, and when he saw the square words smaller than soybeans, Shen Kuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Compared with Sima Guang, Cheng Yi, Wang Anshi and others, Shen Kuo's biggest difference is that he has learned a wide range of knowledge, from sage books to all folk knowledge, including those who despise the study of craftsmen.

Printing Sima Guang and others only know the skin, but Shen Kuo understands it to the bones, so he wrote Bi Sheng's movable type printing in "Mengxi Pen Talk".

However, compared with Duan Haifeng's printing skills, Bi Sheng's movable type printing is not the same as in any aspect.

"Geometry is the study of space. Shen Kuo became more interested. With numbers, craftsmanship, application, calculation of area, length, etc., among the older generation, if he Shen Kuo ranks second, no one dares to rank first. And Shen Kuo is naturally the most obsessed with these.

Shen Kuolian looked at it.

"There are no parts to the dots. ”

"At both ends of a line are dots. ”

......

Definitions, properties, axioms, theorems, axioms, and propositions are all orderly and rigorous, and almost immediately Shen Kuo completely enters the book.

"This Lord Shen ......"

The young man on the side looked at Shen Kuo in surprise. Shen Kuo's eyebrows fluttered at this time, his face was flushed, sometimes the corners of his mouth muttered, and sometimes the corners of his mouth grinned happily, such a happy and forgetful young man followed Shen Kuo for the first time in a few years.

"It's worthy of Lord Shen. The young man immediately admired, "I have also read this book." But I can't find fun in it, but Lord Shen can...... No wonder even if people are afraid of their wives and cower when dealing with people, they can be second only to the prime minister's three envoys, but unfortunately their personality is too cowardly after all. Not suitable for mixed officialdom. ”

Shen Kuo's entire mind was completely immersed in the words at this time.

"It turns out that there is such a theory here, according to this theory, then the problem that I couldn't solve at the beginning ......" Geometric figures, words, and symbols flashed in Shen Kuo's mind from time to time.

"Hey, this truth is very simple, but I didn't sort it out like this at the beginning, so I neglected it in the past, and now it's a little clear here, and there is one more solution to the last question. ”

......

Shen Kuo's essence is these, and this "Geometric Original" clearly lists the knowledge of geometry one by one, which has never happened before Shen Kuo, just like a person who is bent on building an aircraft carrier, suddenly gets a drawing of an aircraft carrier, how can he not be happy and uncontrollable!

After reading it once, Shen Kuo couldn't wait to start watching it a second time.

"Lord Shen!" shouted the young man.

"What's the matter?" Shen Kuo raised his head and looked at the young man.

"Lord Shen, what's the mystery of this book?" asked the young man.

"Mystery, mystery. The corners of Shen Kuo's mouth widened, "Look at this description, 'If you take a little outside the circle and draw through the ...... of the circle from this point,'......" The young man suddenly had a headache, and even interrupted: "Lord Shen, can you make it simpler?"

"Simple?" Shen Kuo was stunned and looked at the young man in confusion. The young man said: "Okay, Lord Shen, you seemed to be very happy when you were reading the book just now, why?"

"Why are you happy?" Shen Kuo smiled slightly, "I don't know why, I just know that after reading this book, there is a sudden enlightenment, as if some hidden knowledge in my brain has been uncovered a layer of fog, and all of a sudden there is a rush of outpouring out, one problem after another is solved, I can't help but be happy, young man, you haven't reached this level, you won't understand." ”

The young man smiled bitterly: "Lord Shen, what kind of person are you, and what kind of person am I, naturally I can't compare to you." ”

It didn't take long for the youth to leave.

Shen Kuo put down the "Geometric Original" in his hand, came to the window and looked at the mountains in the distance, and tears welled up all of a sudden.

"Earthwork, area, the cheap study of craftsmen, Qin Shengchao, are you witnessing my name? or ......" to calculate land, engineering, height, area size and so on, in the Confucian system is the study of crops, Confucius is ashamed, the gentleman is not, so Shen Kuo understands engineering, calculations, pictures, and craftsmen, which is the learning of villains.

And Shen Kuo didn't dare to be complacent about understanding this, and his only hope was that he didn't want to write a book because he didn't want these practical learnings to be wasted.

But this time......

"I never dreamed that you are such a person with such a great future, why, why do you have to wade into this muddy water. ”

"I also hope and desire ......"

"But you are learning to prove the name of the crops, this is a link to unravel, and you are caught in a link, is it worth it?"

Shen Kuo looked at the distant mountains for a long time and was speechless. (To be continued......)
