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

Wang Lun said coldly:"Mr. Yang, the people have enough food and clothing, are well-off, are rich, and have daily utensils that are convenient, practical, and sophisticated. The people are rich and then the country is strong. This is my fundamental way. It is also the way of studying physics. All knowledge should be Practicality, enriching the people, strengthening the army, and strengthening the country are the fundamental purposes of Gewu. The so-called benevolence is to make the people clothed warmly, well fed, and have sufficient utensils. This is the true benevolence. Empty words are about the way of benevolence and forgiveness, and empty words are about loyalty to the emperor. , and even a faint king is also a king. This is a foolish study, and it is not the original intention of Confucianism. Confucianism, the so-called self-restraint and restoration of rituals, is also because Confucius felt that the world was stable and the people were prosperous under the Zhou rituals, so he advocated the Zhou rituals. However, at the time of Mencius, , is to strive for the kings of all countries to control their subordinates with benevolence and love for the people, so that the old can be taken care of and the young can be cared for. This is the desire to be benevolent, and benevolence is the end. However, it was the time of the Warring States, and the world was deploying military force. At that time, the words of Confucius and Mencius had not become prominent knowledge and had not been accepted by other countries. By the time of the Han Dynasty, people were recuperating and the court wanted to consolidate people's hearts. This was the reason why Confucianism flourished. When the times changed, so did the academic world. Confucius and Mencius' Confucianism was not accepted by people all over the world from the beginning, nor does it mean that the times have changed and the doctrines of thousands of years ago cannot be changed. Mencius also said that the king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, and the ministers regard him as his heart. If the king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, then the ministers will regard him as a countryman. If the king regards his ministers as grass and mustard, then the ministers will regard him as a bandit. Mr. Yang, what are shoes and what are hats? My opinion is, what kind of king will you have? What kind of ministers and what kind of situation is the same as what kind of doctrine there is. Soldiers have no permanent momentum, and water has no permanent shape. As long as it can enrich the people and strengthen the army, it is a good doctrine. As long as it is useful, it is a good knowledge. I, Liangshan, Daxinggewu, that is, physics and arithmetic, are the basis of physics, as well as astronomy, geography, geology, and chemistry. Many learnings are combined into one, which is practical learning! Practical learning is useful learning. Liangshan will use Practical learning is the foundation!"

Wang Lun's words were resounding.

Moreover, it was like a lightning strike, chopping up the great Confucian scholars and scholar-bureaucrats in front of them until they were charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

It was really a thunderbolt.

Originally, they thought Wang Lun was simply interested in artifact trails.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if the experiments in front of me succeed again and again.

Anyway, these things cannot enter the temple or become academic.

There is no real threat to Confucianism.

Yang Shi also affirmed that these geophysical experiments were true and extremely useful in making utensils.

But he also pointed out to Wang Lun that the knowledge of creating things and making tools is boots.

It's a trail, so you can only wear it as boots and step on the soles of your feet.

Confucianism has no way to advance science, and the advancement of tool making is no match for Confucianism, just as it competed with Mohism in the past.

But Confucianism still won.

Why?

Because Confucianism is the ruling doctrine!

Lord, king, minister, father, father, son.

Loyalty, filial piety, integrity, righteousness, benevolence and forgiveness, restraint and courtesy.

According to Ercheng Neo-Confucianism, these are acquired morals.

We must restrain our innate desires and pursue these acquired principles wholeheartedly, so that we can understand the principles, be close to them, and finally reach the"perfect principle", that is, to achieve morality, to unite nature and man, to preserve the principles of nature, to get rid of human desires, and to achieve the perfection of Neo-Confucianism.

Although this bastard theory is bastard, or in other words, it is a doctrine created entirely for the purpose of ruling and being ruled, it actually became a"explicit school" and occupied the next few hundred years.

It also delayed the next few hundred years.

Even the residual poison has not been completely eliminated.

Indeed, there is something unique about Confucianism.

Increased cohesion to a certain extent.

It is said that although the country is destroyed, the clan is not destroyed, and the civilization is not extinct.

Is that true?

In the early Ming Dynasty, a large number of living habits, including laws and regulations, were influenced by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. It was obvious to Hu Feng.

In the Qing Dynasty, people shaved their hair and changed clothes. You say that your civilization has not yet been destroyed, but a few books on Confucianism are still there. They all shaved their heads and changed clothes. From the court to the local government, they all acted according to the Jurchen customs. As a result, people Assimilated?

Self-deception, nothing more.

Even if it has the benefit of continuous civilization, wouldn't it be better if practical learning makes China reach its peak step by step, always strong, destroying others, annihilating others, and suppressing foreign races?

Taking advantage of the success of experiments one after another, launching practical knowledge in a timely manner and making such a shocking statement was something Wang Lun had already considered in advance.

Establish a new dynasty, no longer threatened by the overthrow of the three-hundred-year-old dynasty.

Folk doctrines, skills, and wealth are no longer shuffled over hundreds of years.

No longer will foreigners attack, kill, enslave, and destroy civilization due to civil strife.

No longer poor, ignorant, and backward, but adhering to the path of Chinese sages and moving towards a higher future.

Of course, this new dynasty cannot be equated with an ordinary dynasty change.

Land policy, industrial and commercial policy, and trade policy can only be said to be superficial.

The real inner change still requires a change in civilization.

Throughout Liangshan, Bao Wei's Song Dynasty was about to change from the inside out.

The Ding Revolution was not just a change of dynastic regime.

That's too superficial.

It is also civilization that needs to change, and it is an upward change.

It is more compatible, more dynamic, and retains some of the original core, such as loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness. Of course, these things must be retained.

But don’t take these things as benchmarks for governing the country.

If Liangshan and the Song Dynasty are giant ships, Wang Lun is the man who steers the ship. Today’s declaration is by no means as simple as a simple academic declaration, but Liangshan’s governance declaration and Wang Lun’s political declaration.

Yang Shi and others changed their colors in shock!

"If this person conquers the world, our Confucian sect will have no future!"

"Let's spread this man's arrogance to the world"

"Without further ado...I should leave immediately"

"If Mr. Wang says it to our face, he might not let us go, right?"

It is certainly impossible for a group of Confucian believers to accept Wang Lun's deviant words. It is simply more subversive than Wang Lun's statement that the earth is round and a ball of earth.

That is just common sense in physics.

And now Wang Lun What he said was to completely subvert Confucianism, subvert Confucian inheritance, and subvert Confucian theory!

"practical learning……"

Yang Shi also had determination in his eyes.

Since the other party not only wants to study things, but also to gain knowledge, and also to establish an academic sect, he will directly enter the ring with Confucianism!

This is to engage in"Xinhe Lian Sheng"!

At this time, the so-called Luo School, Guan School, and Xin School within the Confucian sect were fighting to the death.

But as soon as Practical Learning comes out, as soon as the manifesto comes out...

I am afraid that these schools will join forces to fight against Practical Learning, and they will also fight against Liangshan!

"Big boss……"

Yang Shi stood up, and a group of other great scholars also stood up.

"Although it is an eye-opener, we have different paths and do not want to work together. Please excuse me."

"There is another experiment, let’s go after reading it."

Wang Lun has no intention of stopping them.

These guys will only stir up trouble and disturb people's hearts in Liangshan.

If some students' parents admire Confucianism and force their children to go to a Confucian academy, what will happen then?

They will cause trouble!

There are no such people to disturb the situation. , within three years, Liangshan and the military states that will be conquered in the future will be the world of practical learning!

Study things to learn, and seek truth through reality!

This is the declaration of practical learning, and it is also the purpose of practical learning!

In the next few hundred years, when China will develop greatly and make a great leap At that time.

Wang Lun was also the great master of practical learning, the most holy ancestor!

It’s very impressive to think about it, no less than the founding emperor.

……

Yang Shi and others were also surprised.

With Wang Lun's status, he would definitely let them go if he agreed to them leaving.

In this case, there is no rush to leave.

Everyone sat down again.

Then Yang Hui sneered a few times on the stage and asked people to start testing again.

This time it was a few experiments on thermal expansion and contraction.

In front of Yang Hui were an empty glass bottle, a one-penny copper coin, a sink, and hot water.

Yang Hui initially placed the empty glass bottle upright in the sink and covered the mouth of the glass bottle with soaked copper coins. The soaked copper coins acted as a seal for the bottle mouth. When the hot water was poured in, the air in the bottle was affected by the Thermal expansion pushed the copper coin up, and due to gravity, the copper coin fell back to the mouth of the bottle, making a crisp"ding" sound, as if the coin was"dancing".

Next, use barbed wire, a beaker, an alcohol glass lamp, and a lighter to pour two glasses of water together.

Then heat it up.

It can be clearly seen that the heated side is obviously higher than the unheated side.

Finally, put a rubber ball into hot and cold water.

It can be clearly seen that the rubber ball placed in hot water expands.

"Everyone, these experiments are very simple, but they look a bit magical? Yang Hui looked at Wang Lun, cupped his hands and said,"This is the theory provided by the master: thermal expansion and contraction.""

"The great master also discovered this phenomenon accidentally. It would be fine if only ordinary people saw it. However, the great master became thoughtful after reading it and summed up the rules."

"Some people may say again, what is the use of this?"

"The usefulness is outside the window, everyone look out!"

The gentry who were originally a little distracted because of the"Practical Learning" theory also looked outside together.

"Like a cut-off Cuju ball?"

"There is a ball above, a rope, a hanging basket, and a large burning lamp below?"

"Is this going to expand with heat or shrink with cold?"

Wang Lun also looked at it with a smile.

This is also one of the changes he brought to the world.

Hot air balloons appeared hundreds of years in advance.

It is still early to build large-scale passenger or freight transportation, but it will be possible in a few decades.

Sooner or later Eight years a year is enough.

After all, there is the blessing of the"Tiangong" state.

This thing has low technological content and technical limitations.

It is the simplest principle of thermal expansion and contraction used in practice.

Following Yang Hui's instructions, A large"burning lamp" burns. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

It is actually twenty kilograms of fierce oil and gas, which is natural gas.

This thing has long been used in practical applications in the Song Dynasty, and well salt is Natural gas was being used.

Of course, the risk was not small, and explosions would occur from time to time. Later, it was gradually no longer used.

The burning flame was about three meters long, and there was a banging sound.

Fortunately, it was in the auditorium a few hundred steps away. Even so, the expressions of many gentry changed in shock.

Even Chai Jin, Ou Peng and others were shocked.

But looking at Jiang Jing, Xiao Rang, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and others around them, their expressions were as usual. It doesn't change, which shows that this experiment has been done before.

Chai Jin's expression did not change, with a faint smile on his face.

But his heart was like a turbulent sea.

It was really...

If he hadn't been framed by Gao Lian this time, how could he have seen it? Seeing so many big scenes?

If you don’t see these things in front of you with your own eyes, even if there are theories and schools of thought and people preaching them, you will laugh out loud and say they are magical, but you probably don’t believe them in your heart.

Not to mention the various things you have seen before. Zhongliangshan's governance and people's livelihood, as well as the magnificent workshop of the Construction Department not far away.

As well as dense mines[]

The gold mine here is no longer secret. Everyone knows that Liangshan has discovered a large amount of gold ore and copper here.

It is easy to get tens of thousands of taels of gold a year.

Gold and silver were not circulating currencies in the Song Dynasty, even if trade was prosperous, because the European colonists did not go to South America at this time and did not bring back a large amount of gold and silver. In terms of reserves in Asia, only Japan had a large amount of shallow mine silver mountains. , no mining has been discovered at this time, and reserves throughout Southeast Asia and East Asia are insufficient.

Foreign trade was mainly done in kind and copper coins, and very little gold and silver was brought back.

The Northern Song Dynasty only had a few hundred thousand taels of silver income a year, and almost all of it was given as tribute to the Liao Kingdom in the north.

So don't say that there is no pressure on the annual tribute... The financial surplus of the Northern Song Dynasty was only a few million a year. Sometimes there was no surplus and it was in a state of loss.

A year's annual tribute of silver and silk cloth is indispensable. How could the annual tribute, which is equivalent to hundreds of 8.1 million yuan, not be a heavy financial burden?

Some people say that this avoids the pain of swordsmanship and allows the people to recuperate and recuperate. It seems that the Song Dynasty took advantage.

Isn't this nonsense?

If we were to take advantage, shouldn't the Liao Kingdom pay tribute to the Song Dynasty?

Even if there is annual tribute, the Liao Kingdom has shown its horses and horses to intimidate and extort, which has happened hundreds of times in more than a hundred years.

There are always a few in a year

There were also multiple small-scale invasions.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty abandoned a large number of fertile fields on the northern border line, dug ditches, and used the technique of Zeguo to slow down the southward path of the Liao cavalry.

In addition, dense forests are planted widely and vegetation defense lines are built to prevent cavalry.

In a large number of border counties, millions of acres of fertile farmland were abandoned, which was a heavy price paid in addition to annual tribute.

Besides, it's useless.

The routes of these protective forests, canals, and rivers were well understood by the Liao people, and every border invasion was easy.

Later, when the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, they also easily moved south. It was almost a fool's errand to expect that unnatural manpower could create a geographical environment that could prevent enemy attacks.

The burden of the border areas, the cost of more than 200,000 forbidden troops, the heavy annual tribute, and the three redundancies all weighed down the Song Dynasty and made it breathless.

There is no time to collect large amounts of precious metals.

The reserves of gold and silver are not high.

Therefore, the exchange ratio, the exchange ratio of gold, silver and copper coins, is far higher than that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Especially after the emergence of small iron coins, one tael of gold was exchanged for dozens of copper coins, which was much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was not based on money. It was first based on physical goods and then on the silver standard. The influx of a large amount of silver gave the Ming Dynasty the currency reserves to adopt the silver standard.

Then a large amount of domestic gold was exchanged. Anyway, there is a huge amount of silver, so gold doesn't matter.

The amount of gold and silver in the Song Dynasty was extremely scarce, and most of it was in the hands of nobles and dignitaries in the imperial palace and clan.

In places like Tokyo, there are also many wealthy businessmen and middle-class families who own some.

The first time the Jin soldiers invaded, they pretended to demand gold and silver and retreated, but in fact they were unable to attack the city due to lack of preparation.

As a result, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty scraped off the walls of the palace and the homes of the nobles, dignitaries, and common people in the city. A total of more than 200,000 taels of gold and more than one million taels of silver were handed over to the Jinren.

This amount of money is really not enough in Ming Dynasty.

With Song Qinzong's efforts in searching Beijing during the Chongzhen period, at least tens of millions of taels of silver would have been obtained.

This is the change of times and the evolution of history.

At this moment, Liangshan owns a gold mountain with an annual output ranging from tens of thousands of taels to hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. This is of great significance.

Li Gefei's expression was quite complicated.

On the one hand, he was shocked by the series of experiments today, and he also looked forward to wearing my myopia glasses and purchasing an astronomical mirror as soon as possible.

On the one hand, he is a Confucian believer and cannot accept practical learning at once.

And Liangshan's background is fully displayed, and the strength contained in it is terrifying.

Now that Li Gefei is completely inappropriate, Wang Lun will accept the recruitment honestly!.
