Chapter 282 The plan of the year lies in the spring

I opened a new book "Han'er Heroic Blood" at Qidian. I beg my friends to support me and I would like to express my gratitude to you.

************************************************************************

Everyone has their own ideas and their own life plans. No one is willing to be merciless, and everyone wants to make a name for themselves.

Fang Er belongs to the former, while Lu Da is the latter. The goals are different, but the methods adopted and the path to take are the same.

Joining the army and being promoted with military merits was of course a very realistic and promising path in the early Tang Dynasty when Chongwu was strong.

Of course, the starting point is different. Fang Er, who has his father Yu Yin, cannot start with a small soldier. Just like Pei Xingjian, who passed the imperial examinations with Ming Jing, entered Zuotunwei and was the army of Cangcao, who was the eighth rank lower rank.

And Lu Da may be able to become a small officer with Xu Qilin's recommendation, but he still needs real military achievements in the future.

It is always good to have ideals. If you are at ease with the pasture, you can get the care of Xu Qilin. You will become an official first and then slowly become an official, but there will never be much development.

Xu Qilin is willing to support and promote those who are loyal to him. However, he also needs to have better conditions. For example, Wang Fangyi, a civil and military talent, is down-to-earth and willing to work hard, and has made great contributions to the construction and development of Gansu and Suzhou. Xu Qilin also mentioned it many times in his report.

When Xu Qilin leaves office, Wang Fangyi and other hard-working officials will be promoted and promoted. In the future, they will need to be managed by such experienced experts.

In fact, it is not just Fang Er and Lu Da who are motivated. What surprised Xu Qilin was that he found that foodie A Jiani also had some plans and ideas for the future.

In addition to eating, this girl is still secretly saving money. Whether she wants to be a dowry or buy land or a house, Xu Qilin doesn't know.

When he has such a rich fortune as Xu Qilin, he naturally thinks it is a bit funny to wrap money around his waist every day. Why don’t he be so heavy?

A Jiani disagreed with Xu Qilin's teasing, patted the wallet on her waist and said, "First be heavy and then light. After saving enough copper coins, it will be lighter in an instant."

"If you save money, don't use small tricks." Xu Qilin reminded: "Don't think that you can't see that you and Scarlett cheat, and you will win Fang Er with a straightforward look."

Playing mahjong is just a pastime, and these tricks are useless. But Scarlett also got involved, making Xu Qilin not easy to say anything.

Of course, after asking Scarlett, Xu Qilin was also surprised by Ajiani's ghostly eyes. This girl has many evil ways and has used her intelligence.

A Jiani grinned and said, "Brother Jun didn't see it, wouldn't it be fine if you don't need it next time?"

After pausing, she looked at Xu Qilin and glanced at her eyes, then smiled and said, "Why don't I return the money to Alang?"

That's what he said, but he just widened his eyes and did not stretch his hands into his waist bag. It was obvious that he had words and had no sincerity at all.

Xu Qilin waved his hand helplessly and said, "Not like this in the future. It's just a game of entertainment. Who will play with you? I don't know what you're saving money for, tell me!"

Ajiani blinked and shook her head, "Don't ask, Alang, I have the advantage of saving money. I have never stolen or robbed it, I have saved it from my mouth."

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and said, "It may be a little bit possible." It's pure nonsense to save the words."

Hahaha, Ajiani may also think it is not reliable, so she laughed dryly and said, "Alang, is it good to eat only food and eat less snacks?"

Xu Qilin said helplessly: "Eat as much as you want, and don't save anywhere you want. You can go down first. If you want to write something, don't wait for it."

Ajiani knew that Alang would say this, so she turned around and smiled, and she felt happy when she went out. What Alang said was all in front of her ears.

Xu Qilin calmed down, picked up paper and pen, and continued to write a book "Common Sense of Physics" that was enough to change the history of Chinese scientific development.

In ancient times, there was no concept of physics, but the study of things was more similar. Study of things: means to explore the principles of things to correct human behavior. "The Book of Rites" "Achievement is to investigate things, and then we can know the truth."

And "studying things to lead to knowledge",

It is an important concept of ancient Chinese Confucianism and a discipline that Confucianism specializes in studying the "theory of matter".

But studying things and physics, or to be precise, "scientific research" is not the same thing.

The Confucian "studying things and seeking knowledge" does not care how much you know in physics or what theorems are, but rather it depends on completing the high integration of people and things (facts and principles) through investigating things and achieving the most holy realm of life.

For example, Wang Yangming's story of Ge Zhu, staring at Zhuzi for days and nights, until he vomited blood and fainted, but there was no reason for it.

There is also the story of Cao Chong calling himself an elephant. Everyone in the world praised Cao Chong's intelligence, but did not burst out inspiration in the bathhouse like Archimedes and invent the law of buoyancy.

Why can the Western personality ball and water sum up the laws of free fall and buoyancy, and Wang Yangming Gezhu can only vomit blood?

In fact, this is mainly because the study of things and knowledge only emphasizes observation, in order to create knowledge and then influence one's own observation results; in the West, it is different, it emphasizes experiments and analysis, which is closer to experimental scientism.

Since the study of things and physics cannot be mixed together, are there any other physics monographs to explain the principles so that the development of ancient Chinese science and technology will be separated from empiricism?

In Xu Qilin's opinion, there is really no. Although ancient Chinese physics has achieved considerable achievements, its development cannot be sustained, and there are even many lost ones.

To put it simply, the ancients were already very skilled in the application of the principles of lever and wheel axles. Some instruments used more complex gear structures, but they did not explain the principles and did not form written and digitized theories and data.

Knowing the truth, not knowing the reason, the science and technology of ancient China lacked this important link. When it develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably stagnate due to obstacles or even be lost.

For example, Mozi conducted a systematic study of optics, but unfortunately this kind of knowledge was cut off because it was not taught; the objects about mechanics were basically not passed down, so he had to use imagination to guess in later generations.

Now, Xu Qilin feels that the preparation has been completed and we can go further and promote the development of science and technology, so that at least we can give craftsmen a theory and basis to invent and create.

The so-called preparation is naturally the printing and distribution of the three books "Elementary Mathematics", "Geometry" and "Natural Common Sense".

Since it is mainly for craftsmen to learn, Xu Qilin still uses a more vernacular writing method, and some illustrations are used to illustrate it.

The vernacular language is not elegant enough, but it is clearly expressed. Otherwise, like the ancient books, "Everything is lingering and heavy, but it is uneven, and no one who is equally extreme" can you know the principle of the center of gravity of the story?

For example, "When the wind crosses the river, it will also be damaged." You can understand it as the friction between the wind and the water surface, or as water can absorb heat.

It is precisely because of the refinement and the description that many inventions and creations have been fought over by foreign countries in later generations. The vague or specious ancient records are difficult to provide effective proof.

That's right, what I wrote is not for those guys who are full of words.

Xu Qilin pursed the corners of his lips, with a faint smile.

…………………

"The season of the year lies in spring." Emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to agricultural production. Since the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor welcomed the spring and ploughed it personally, which became a grand ceremony, hoping for a bumper harvest.

For the common people, it is the hope of "planting a grain of millet in spring and harvesting ten thousand seeds in autumn", and it is a hope that we will not be discouraged from hunger.

According to the imperial edict, tens of thousands of soldiers from Guanzhong arrived in Gansu and Suzhou before the beginning of spring. After a short rest, they devoted themselves to the labor of spring plowing and planting.

The fields to be cultivated have been planned, and farm tools have been purchased in place, and all oxen and horse farming are used. According to the plan formulated by Xu Qilin, the land to be cultivated this year will be more than doubled compared to last year.

Even so, in the vast states of Gansu and Su, there is still a large amount of land waiting to be reclaimed. However, the land renters who came to the news increased the cultivated land by tens of thousands of acres.

These land-renting farmers naturally have some backgrounds. They are servants and servants sent by powerful officials, or sent by large families. What they are targeting is cotton that can make huge profits.

The humid and warm land has emerged from the mottled snow.

After resting for a winter, I am now full of energy and spreading a fresh and intoxicating spring atmosphere.

In the plowing land, Wang Fangyi held the plow handle with one hand, leaned outward, shouting at the animals intermittently. Two horses walked side by side, and the soil flipped on the iron plowboard was neatly like waves rolling in the river.

"Wang Changshi, you are really an expert." The soldiers who sowed seeds behind couldn't help but exclaim, "The plowed ridge is even more straight than the ink line!"

Wang Fangyi laughed and said, "I have done farm work before. I became familiar with this horse farming and the new plow when I was farming last year. It is indeed a good thing!"

"The horse trench is fresh, and this new plow has been used a lot in Guanzhong." The mansion straightened his waist and said, "It's really convenient and fast to use."

After pausing, he continued, "When I didn't come to Ganzhou, I thought it was just a deserted place. But I didn't expect that this was the scene here."

Wang Fangyi nodded and said, "If it were this time last year, it would be very remote. A year later, it would have changed a lot."

The soldiers of the government hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that settled down here, not only can I give you enough land, but I can also rent horses and carts, and borrow money from the government."

Wang Fangyi smiled and said, "You heard that it is true, but you are not careful. Let me tell you in detail."

On a field in Suzhou, as an acting local official, Xu Qilin had to perform in spring farming, to be precise, a performance.

However, Fang Er's arrival made his performance very awkward.

One person has a palm and a cow. It was not a complicated operation, but Fang Er was a stick.

Xu Qilin wiped the sweat with his sleeve and said to Fang Er dissatisfiedly: "Brother Jun, please hold the cow well! Look at how others lead the cow. The iron ring on the cow's nose should be held tightly and the eyes should be looked forward, which is about the same speed as the cow."

"Qi Lin, I did it very seriously!" Fang Er turned around with a smile, "Okay, let's just farm to the ground, can you help me with a good player?"

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "You said you are here to join in the fun? You have never done this farm work."

Fang Er shrugged his shoulders and said, "The people sent by his family are too noisy. They are buzzing in someone's ears all day long, and they are so annoyed. While they are not paying attention, someone will run far away."

From Ganzhou to Suzhou, you don’t run far. Xu Qilin thinks that Fang Er is best to get into the mouse hole, so that people can’t find it!

The two of them plowed to the ground in a crooked manner, Fang Er was replaced, and Xu Qilin also took the opportunity to come down to rest.

Fang Er followed Xu Qilin to the tree and asked, "Do you think my father would agree to rent land in Hexi?"

Xu Qilin curled his lips and said, "Where is the slightest thing in the room? Fang Xiang still can't see your little thoughts. If you take care of the piece of land, when will you go back to Chang'an?"

Fang Er scratched his head and said, "But General Niu doesn't accept me. Wouldn't this contribution to joining the army be ruined?"

Xu Qilin laughed twice and said, "Who told your father to be a villain? Who dares to accept you as a soldier at will? You are too simple."

Fang Er touched the mustache that had just emerged from his chin, looked at Xu Qilin and said, "Others dare not, don't you dare? Needless to say, I will follow you and follow the army."

Is this just lie? I would have known that you would have done this.

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and said, "If you were still in Ganzhou before the army set off, I would bring you with me. Maybe I can get some military merits for you."

"That's all. But how can I get this military merit?" Fang Er also knew what Xu Qilin meant. As long as he was not taken away by the people sent by his family, he would have the opportunity to follow the army.

Before Xu Qilin could speak, Fang Er pointed his hand again and said, "Look, those two girls are bringing you food."

The emperor personally ploughed, and it was not enough to perform the whole set. Many times there were queens and palace maids who picked up baskets and delivered food!

Xu Qilin cannot compare with the emperor, but he has to follow the spring plowing ceremony and deliver food to the fields. This is one of them, and he seems so hardworking.

In the distance, Scarlett and Ajiani both changed into thick clothes and walked over with food boxes.

A Jiani's eyes were very sharp and she said, "The one who stood beside A Lang

The black guy seems to be Fang Er.”

Scarlett smiled and said, "How come you want to win someone's money?"

A Jiani smiled and said, "Alang said that you are not allowed to cheat. I will spare this black boy for the time being."

"I'm approaching, but I have to talk well." Scarlett reminded: "I didn't expect there would be more people and I could still eat. We're afraid we have to get some more meals."

As they spoke, the two had already walked closer. Ajiani greeted her and called her a villain, and her attitude was very enthusiastic.

Fang Er had no idea that he had been deceived by the little girl, and replied with no grudges. Then he took the food box, opened it and looked at it, reached out and grabbed a piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xu Qilin shrugged and said to Scarlett and Ajiani: "I'm going to have a meal here with Brother Jun, you two will go back and have a meal."

Before the two girls agreed, Fang Er had already waved his hands and said vaguely: "Well, um, you guys go back to eat, I have something to say with Qi Lin."

Scarlett and Ajiani looked at each other and turned around and left helplessly.
