Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

After the concave and convex mirrors are placed, sunlight penetrates.

A pile of scraps of papyrus was placed where the light refracted.

Not long after, everyone saw smoke rising.

Everyone was shocked.

Including those great scholars who showed disdain.

If the iron ball experiment and the spectrum experiment can be said to be useless, the one in front of me is amazing.

Can a fire start just by reflecting light from glass?

Before lighters appeared in Liangshan, people could only use various clumsy methods to start fires.

For example, Huozhezi is actually a way to extend the existence time of the flame as much as possible. It is stored in a special container. After covering it, the flame cannot burn. When it is opened, the air will blow and an open flame will appear.

For one thing, this thing has a shelf life.

Secondly, the manufacturing process is relatively complex.

The main method of lighting fires in rural areas is to preserve stove fires, which is actually similar to fire extinguishers.

It would be troublesome if you need to use fire when you are away from home.

It is really difficult to start a fire after the fire has been broken for a long time, or if you encounter humid and rainy weather.

The difficulty of the ancients' journey lay in every detail.

Anything that modern people are accustomed to may have been an extremely rare enjoyment in ancient times.

There is clean hot water to drink when you go out.

Clean and comfortable beds are always available.

Food is always available.

There is kindling.

There are wide and straight roads.

Fever and cold are not fatal.

These conditions are difficult to achieve in this era.

That is to say, under the rule of Liangshan, the threshold was almost reached.

But further steps are needed to truly achieve this most basic standard.

The light refracted in front of my eyes, and any child in later generations has played the game of burning ants with a magnifying glass.

But at this moment, it was almost entirely miraculous.

Everyone stood up.

Practitioners"300" suppressed their excitement.

The professors, great scholars, and the gentry who came to watch the ceremony couldn't help but talk to each other and put their heads in the air.

Not long after, flames bloomed under the green smoke! boom!

The whole audience was shocked!

Standing up, regardless of order, the tables and chairs were pushed crookedly.

Even if the head of Liangshan is here, no one can care about being rude.

The situation in front of me is really too mysterious!

"Is it really burning?"

"What is the principle of this?"

"Of course it's not witchcraft or evil. There is no room for those messy things here in Liangshan!"

"Gewu... is it really that magical?"

"It’s so magical!"

"Hey, I was really a frog in the well before this, I didn’t know there was such magical knowledge in the world. Studying things to achieve knowledge... I wonder if I can come to study at my age?"

"People from outside the country are not allowed to study here in Liangshan. Of course, there is no age limit. You can come just by paying the tuition and fees!"

"That’s good, that’s good! When I get home, I’ll make arrangements with my parents and my wife, and I’ll report back after the new year!"

"Come with me, come with me!"

"Me too!"

The crowd is excited!

The experiment in front of them really opened a new door for these people, and a new world appeared in front of them!

"Polish the two mirrors, put them into the frame, and adjust the magnification, and you will have a telescope that can reach far distances."

"Lenses can be polished at angles to solve chronic diseases such as myopia and presbyopia. Many people here are probably suffering from these two eye diseases. Within a few months, Liangshan glasses are for sale, and the chronic diseases that have troubled you for many years will no longer be a worry."

Yang Hui's words are great news for many gentry and professors.

This group of people is almost 100% short-sighted.

They have been studying since they were young, usually starting at the age of five to six.

Studying in this era is standard hard study. , get up at five or six in the morning to memorize before dawn, then study the scriptures in the morning, practice poetry in the afternoon, and stay up late to read at night. There must be some monsters who can pass the exam based on talent without hard work.

But 99% of them learn something. Those who succeeded were those who had worked hard in those days.

In the Qing Dynasty, in order to absorb the educational deficiencies of the Ming Dynasty emperors, the education of princes was unprecedentedly strict. Get up at four o'clock in the morning, wash up and go to the study. Before five o'clock, it is time to study. , recite, have breakfast at 7 a.m., study the Four Books and Five Classics from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m., dine again at noon at 12 p.m., learn Manchu, and ride and shoot from 1 to 4 p.m. School ends at 4 p.m.

People are busy at that time. To be flattering, it is said that the emperor studied very hard. To be fair, the education of the princes of the Qing Dynasty was indeed good.

Basically, they could cultivate conservative masters according to Confucian standards.

But they taught but did not follow the method. The stricter they taught, the more pedantic they became. Old-fashioned, conservative, without any ambition or competitiveness.

Let’s not talk about this.

Just talk about this timetable... In the afternoon, I started to practice riding, shooting and wrestling, and learned a few sentences of Manchu and Qing language. This is called hard work?

Han scholars, since It's normal for men to study at three o'clock in the morning and to watch three o'clock in the middle of the night! It's the time for men to study at three o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in the morning. It's the time for men to study hard! Black-haired people don't know how to study early, but white-haired people regret studying late.

This is the normal state for men in the Han family to study hard.

And During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the custom of martial arts among Han men still existed.

Not only did they have to study, but they also had to learn riding and shooting.

In ancient times, a gentleman also needed six skills: etiquette, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and counting!

Etiquette, vocal music, and archery. , driving, calligraphy, arithmetic, everything must be learned and mastered!

Even in the Song Dynasty, these scholar-bureaucrats in front of them will definitely not be able to drive, but they should pass the test on horseback riding and archery. After all, the Song Dynasty was founded on bows and arrows.

As for calligraphy , vocal music, etiquette, arithmetic, these people are all involved.

Otherwise, they would not come to Gewu Academy. Even those who are not familiar with arithmetic, astronomy, astrology, and medicine will learn something.

This is the standard of the elite scholar-officials in ancient times.

Go to The Scholars At that time, it was written about the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it was a group portrait of the gentry in the Qing Dynasty.

If you don’t read history, you can’t lift it with your hands or carry it on your shoulders, let alone ride and shoot vocals. It’s a complete waste.

Not to mention compared with Europe, which was already leading at that time. Compared with the ancient pre-Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, and even Song Confucianism, they were far behind.

The group in front of them was the benchmark for Song Confucianism.

Not only did they read Confucian classics intensively, pass the examination to become a scholar, and pass the interpretation test to become a scholar, there were also many Among them are the Young Scholars.

Then they dabble in various miscellaneous studies. They are all first-class smart people. They can draw inferences from one example and study casually. It is much better than ordinary people who study hard. The only price is that they may be stooped and hunchback early. , and myopia is an inevitable price

"A certain person has been nearsighted for seventeen years... He has gradually found it difficult to study. He cannot recognize other people's faces after more than ten steps, and he has offended many people.……"

"Yes, I once had the honor to go to court to see Tianyan, but it turned out that I couldn't see clearly at all."

Some people sighed, while others said disdainfully:"Tianyan... is just missing. It's better to take a few more glances at Mr. Wang.

The person who spoke said awkwardly:"That's true, today's frivolous people are not like a human king. Although Zhang Dun is a traitor, he is one of the best in ability and has a good understanding of people.""

There is no need to mention Zhang Dun's personal virtues. He is a man of extraordinary ability, vicious vision, and extraordinary skill. He is a general of the new party. He, Lu Huiqing, and Zeng Bu are all core figures of the new party.

Zhe Zong died young and chose his successor. Therefore, Zhang Dun opposed Huizong's accession to the throne.

"King Duan is frivolous and cannot be the emperor."

This is what Zhang Dun said back then.

It is a prophecy.

Most of the scholar-bureaucrats only look at the bloodline when selecting people, or are"myopic", just for the merit of their own support.

On the contrary, they are not as good as those in the new party with bad personal ethics. Zhang Dun was outspoken and outspoken.

At this time, someone asked Yang Hui:"I wonder when these myopia glasses will be available on the market?"

"Yes, I have been suffering from myopia for a long time."

"It's okay for me to be nearsighted, but I want that telescope. Yang

Hui said with a serious look:"Myopia glasses will be on the market in the next year. By then, they will be available at Liangshan Supply Cooperatives in all states and counties. You don't have to worry." The telescope is only equipped with the Liangshan Army and is not sold to the outside world. However, there is a kind of astronomical telescope that is as tall as one person. It is relatively clumsy and not suitable for military use. It can be used to observe the stars and study star maps. If you are interested, you can place an order for it next month."

This time, it became even more sensational.

As scholar-bureaucrats who are also involved in miscellaneous studies, how many of them do not study astronomy and astrology?

This is the basic skill of miscellaneous studies! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Someone They like calculations, some people like investigating things, some people like geography, water conservancy, and some people like reading medical books and prescribing prescriptions. There are all kinds of strange things.

But astronomy and astrology are definitely dabbled in by all scholar-bureaucrats, but the level of learning is different.

Now , Liangshan's construction department can actually build a star-gazing astronomical mirror?

"Not sure about the effectiveness?"

"How high or low is the price?"

"Since Liangshan is out of the astronomical realm, the quality must be good. I will reserve one first, just hope it is not too expensive!"

"The astronomical mirror can be used for stargazing, and according to Deputy Chief Yang, it is extremely large and will probably not be cheap."

Yang Hui smiled and waved:"The price is decided by the Construction Department and the Trading Department. Each department of the Du Branch has discussed it. The deputy director has no way to intervene. However, the Gewu Academy has ordered ten of the best ones, and each one has a fixed price. It's Senuki"

"Qian Guan? That's okay. I thought it would cost several thousand guan."

"Best Senkan? That's okay. I'll just order a medium-sized one. I guess five or six hundred guan will be enough."

"It’s slightly more expensive than a horse-drawn carriage, but it should be worth every penny!"

"Yes, it will be worth the money."

An official from the Construction Department stood up and said:"Every state and county will place a rack as a sample in the supply agency. You can try it before ordering, but you must make an appointment first... and you have to pay for it. It's just a small amount of money. You can watch the moon and stars for a quarter of an hour for just a small amount at a time, and someone will teach you how to adjust the angle and watch the moon and stars."

"Hahaha, great, this is great!"[]

"You can spend a few hundred dollars to watch the stars...it's really worth it, so worth it!"

How many of the poor people can come to this grand event in a carriage?

Under the rule of Liangshan, after the land was divided, the original gentry had a lot of money on hand.........

They either invest money in Liangshan or open their own workshops or businesses.

I have made a lot of money in the past two years, but now Liangshan is not allowed to buy and sell land, so the original method of buying land with money will not work.

The only option is to build tall buildings and houses as much as possible, or to take out money and invest it in industry and commerce.

In fact, this is the right way!

The kind of people who have money to hoard or buy large amounts of land are just budding capitalism?

Only by continuing to invest money, expand the scale of production, purchase machinery, hire more workers, and form such a cycle can we call the emergence of capitalism!

These rich people bought hundreds of carriages without even frowning.

Are you still hesitant about these astronomical telescopes?

Wang Lun also looked satisfied underneath.

Myopia glasses are meant to benefit all people. In this era of poor nutrition, as long as people use their eyes, the proportion of myopia is quite high.

Whether it is business clerks or scholars, there are a large number of people with myopia or presbyopia.

Liangshan can ship in large quantities, so the price will not be set too high.

Ordinary fine iron frames with lenses are priced at eight dollars.

The cost is less than a hundred cents.

It's that simple to master the method.

Hundred times profit, easy to get.

This price will not be lowered within three to five years. In a few years, if Wang Lun takes over the world and becomes the master of the world, the price will be reduced to one or two yuan, which will not be too low.

With eight guan of money, no matter whether you are a bookkeeper, a shopkeeper, or a scholar, you can afford it if you scrape together your teeth.

Next up is the silver frame, which is finely polished. The better one is gold, and of course the most expensive. The silver frame costs tens of guan, which corresponds to the wealthy class above the well-to-do, such as the items from small trading houses. The owner is a small and medium-sized landowner with hundreds or even thousands of acres of land, a scholar, and a family whose family members studied and became officials.

Those made of gold correspond to big officials, big landowners, proprietors of big business houses, abbots of big temples, temple masters, etc.

Just from these glasses, the profit can easily exceed one million yuan a year.

The Song Dynasty now has a nominal population of less than 50 million.

In fact, it's far more than that, not even hundreds of millions.

There must be millions of people with myopia.

Selling tens of thousands of pairs of glasses a year would be a profit of over one million dollars.

The water flows slowly, slowly, a few years later, those who bought the first batch will probably have to buy again.

Over time, the lenses wear out and the frames become skewed and damaged.

This can last so long if you take care of it.

Therefore, Wang Lun is quite happy when the product of glasses comes out.

Slow water flows long, and like table salt, it is a hard product with long-term profits.

But... what is Liangshan not?

If Wang Lun thought about it, the products of the Construction Department could come in many more varieties.

But it's not necessary.

For one thing, no matter how developed the Song Dynasty was, it was still a small-scale peasant economy.

The plate is only that big, no matter how hard you try, you can’t instantly jump into Capitalism 5.9.

Take your time, spend decades to accumulate private wealth, first have enough food, divide the land, everyone has food and clothing, and then think more, and the market will be bigger.

Secondly, Wang Lun acted cautiously, only doing as much business as he had strength.

When there were only two to three thousand soldiers and horses, he was asked to start a business worth more than ten million yuan a year.

I'm afraid everyone in the imperial court and the green forest rushed over after smelling the fishy smell.

If you don't have the strength, don't do such a big deal.

Now, it's time for Liangshan to make further progress.

Only then will new products come out one after another.

As for the astronomical mirror, it should be the same as the carriage.

The products make money, and you can earn hundreds of dollars for each product.

But sales won't be too high.

If you can sell a few thousand pieces a year, you are considered quite successful.

Even so, it's still a deal worth over a million dollars.

Here in Liangshan, there is really no business with a profit of less than one million yuan. that's enough.

Mainly to promote the development of astronomy and spectroscopy in China.

Making money is just incidental.

Yang Shi and others' faces were ashen.

The status of the great Confucians in the Northern Song Dynasty was not like that in the Southern Song Dynasty, and they occupied an absolute dominant position in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

No eight-part essay appeared.

Various schools of thought can compete with each other and let a hundred flowers bloom.

Ask them to say that everything before them is meaningless, and they themselves can't say it

"These are indeed beneficial to the people, and Gewu Academy does have a reason to exist. Yang

Shi looked at Wang Lun, cupped his fists and saluted, and said with firm eyes:"But I must make it clear that for the people of the world and the inheritance of Chinese civilization, only the unique knowledge of Confucius is the foundation of knowledge, and the rest are just details." No matter how good the hat is, it cannot be worn on the feet. No matter how beautiful the shoes are, they cannot be placed on the head. Please think carefully about this!".
