Chapter 352 Just be a guide!
Indoor.
Hearing the movement outside the house, Xia Zhibai asked.
The scribe was nervous and said quickly: "Sir, Master Liu came here just now. I asked Master Liu to go back according to your previous instructions."
There was a short moment in the room. The silence of the time.
Xia Zhibai said: "Okay."
In the room, Xia Zhibai turned out "Mengxi Bi Tan" and looked at the seventeen eyes above, with a faint light in his eyes. During the Northern Song Dynasty, although There was some corruption within the rule, but great progress was still made in natural science.
Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan" involves astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc.
Although they are not called by these names today.
But he could still identify the general content described inside at a glance.
"Mengxi Bi Tan" is an encyclopedia.
Priceless.
After several wars, this book was gradually shelved and replaced by various Neo-Confucianism and psychology books. Books that are truly beneficial to the world have been artificially hidden. This has to be said to be a very Big setback.
Especially what Shen Kuo summed up: ‘However, there is no need to learn arithmetic too much. Use it when you see simplicity, and change it when you see complexity. This is a general skill. ’
This fully reflects the ancients’ understanding of numbers.
Xia Zhibai flipped through them one by one, listing the mathematical models such as 'Gap Accumulation Technique' and 'Huiyuan Technique' in a more modern way. He valued these textbooks and aimed to use them. Teaching materials break the old 'apprenticeship' system in the world.
Especially the decadent behavior of "church disciples and starve masters to death" must be completely corrected.
But Xia Zhibai also knows it.
It’s not that easy to change the world’s opinions.
So strong medicine is needed.
The technology and so-called unique skills that they are proud of have become less mysterious and even seem ordinary under the mathematical formulas. This has broken down the barriers between craftsmen and masters, accelerated the development of the craftsman industry, and made The industry of industry has gradually moved towards win-win exchanges and cooperation from the closed-door approach in the past.
And the books he held in his hands were the hammer that struck the sleeping soul.
Although somewhat inhumane.
It will also cause many craftsmen to fall into self-doubt.
But it will be difficult for the world to achieve great progress if it is closed and conservative for a long time.
The rest of the world is unwilling to touch this bad luck, but if he goes, even if he will be criticized verbally or even by many craftsmen, or worse, they will attack him in groups, he will not back down. The 'family inheritance' system should be broken.
Xia Zhibai came back to his senses and continued to read.
Looking at the 'magnetism', 'acoustics', 'optics', etc. described above, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and there were more and more documents that could provide him with reference. In his mind During the process, I even had the urge to directly transfer the system I had worked on for the past nine years.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, I still pressed the idea.
He still has to solve zero to one first.
Instead of one to three!
Xia Zhibai flipped through the pages while taking notes, and at the same time carefully verified. If he found any errors, he would specially mark them. However, it was not that the marks were wrong, but that he would give his own The 'unique' insights are for people's reference.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. All he wants to do and can do is just be a guide.
But it’s really too much to ask him to do more. At least let him deduce why ‘Newton’s First Law’ is right, but he can’t explain it. He can only give a general idea, and then Let others test it and get a more accurate explanation.
But if you want to be truly perfect, you have to rely on other talented people.
He is just an assistant.
While Xia Zhibai was immersed in compiling books, Liu Sanwu had already returned home angrily. As soon as he entered the house, he pushed the door open, and then ran away without changing his boots or clothes. When I got to the dormitory, I pretended to be really unwell and lay down.
Liu Sanwu, who was just in a difficult mood, obviously couldn't sleep.
After rolling on the bed for a while, he sat up directly, looked at the woman in her thirties next to her, and said impatiently: "Go, prepare some tea, and add some fire to the room. It’s such a cold day, you can’t freeze me to death.”
The woman’s expression changed and she hurriedly went to prepare.
Looking at the woman's rushing figure, Liu Sanwu's eyes were cold.
He is now seventy-one years old. His first wife died of illness long ago, but his body has always been strong. In the past ten years, he has taken in several concubines and even given birth to children. For this reason, he He was also quite proud of himself. Other people of his age could not even walk, let alone create humans, but he was so full of life that even His Majesty came to ask for advice on how to maintain his health.
But now these things make Liu Sanwu unhappy.
Because he is becoming more and more passive now.
Although others did not say anything openly, he could see that other bachelors were becoming more and more perfunctory and even contemptuous of him. In his opinion, all this stemmed from his age. , and Xia Zhibai's deliberate targeting.
Liu Sanwu said with a gloomy face: "Old man, go and call my good son-in-law. I have something to give him."
His son-in-law is Zhao Mian, who was a Jinshi in the same year as Xia Zhibai.
Now he has reached the rank of Right Minister of Household Affairs.
As a respected scholar, he couldn't stand being so despised and ignored by Xia Zhibai. He had to let Xia Zhibai know that he was not something that Xia Zhibai could despise. He could stay here Hanlin Academy, and entrusted His Majesty with important tasks, and even compiled the preface of "Da Gao" for His Majesty, all because of his talent.
Xia Zhibai refused to let him participate in compiling the book. This was Xia Zhibai's huge mistake.
Not a moment.
The woman came in with a cup of hot water.
At the same time, the servant at home lit a fire in the house.
The room gradually became a little warmer. Under the swaying light of the fire, Liu Sanwu looked at the beautiful woman serving at the side, but there were not many ripples in his heart. As the saying goes, he likes the new and hates the old. As he gets older, the more he He can no longer tolerate these women, and he prefers to stay with younger ones, which makes him feel like he has regained his youth.
He waved to the woman and said: "You go down first."
"Let younger ones serve in the future."
"No matter how displeased I am, I am also a Hanlin bachelor appointed by His Majesty, and the father-in-law of Zhao Mian, the current right servant of the Ministry of Revenue, so I let several young girls serve. It’s natural, and I have been pampered for so many years. Although I have silver hair, I am still very ambitious.”
Liu Sanwu boasted a few words about himself.
It seems to have given me a lot of confidence.
The woman did not dare to refuse. He was bought by Liu Sanwu with money. She did not dare to say no, so she nodded quickly and went out to help Liu Sanwu.
Liu Sanwu felt quite satisfied as he demonstrated his status on the woman.
