Chapter 811 The Nine Levels are naturally advancing and retreating (12)

"Is that true? I don't even know here yet." Han Gang tsk.

Wang Anshi was the resigned prime minister. If he was promoted to Duke Shu, he would have the same status as Duke Fu Bi of Han and Duke Wen Yanbo of Lu, and he would be both senior officials.

However, countries can also be divided into large, medium and small, and are inseparable in officialdom. Qin, Jin, Wei, and Han are big countries, while Wang Anshi's Shu Kingdom is a small country. The first Duke of the Kingdom was only a small country, and it will gradually rise after the second and third promotions. Wen Yanbo only has a title once, so his Duke of Lu is not stronger than Wang Anshi's Shu Kingdom, while Fu Bi is the first Duke of Qi, the second Duke of Zheng, and the third time it is the current Duke of Han.

"With the Duke Jiefu's hope, the Duke is already late." Zhang Dun lowered his voice a little, "I just asked my Duke to change to the palace. Do you plan to retire?"

Han Gang had no chance to talk about this with Wang Anshi. When he returned to Beijing, Wang Anshi had already left. However, from the letters left by Wang Anshi, he could barely understand his thoughts, "My family and his mother were in charge of the government again. For ten years in the capital, they had already exhausted their hard work and exhausted their energy. In the last half year, I didn't see it, Brother Zihou should have seen it, right?"

Zhang Dun nodded silently. From the summer last year, until Wang Anshi left office, just a few months before Hangang returned to the capital, because Wang Rong and Wang Anguo died of illness in one or two years, Wang Anshi suddenly got much older.

In addition, there were many differences with Zhao Xu in political affairs, which made Wang Anshi even sigh that it would be good if he had a three-point relationship. He was far from being as good as Xining's early years. Han Gang said that he was exhausted and exhausted, and that was not wrong at all, nor was he exaggerated at all.

Han Gang sighed, not hiding, "My family and his mother should be in the world of the world, and there is no idea of ​​a comeback. It is impossible to return as in the eighth year of Xining, and to be in the important court."

Although Zhang Dun was not disappointed, he sighed. Wang Anshi created a new law and took nearly ten years to make the Song Dynasty, which was originally bullied by the two northwest captives, in turn, the two countries had to join forces to resist. Wang Anshi had already realized the first wish of enriching the country and strengthening the army for the emperor, but now he cannot enjoy the glory brought to him by the success of the reform.

But Zhang Dun could not say anything, and Han Gang would not say anything. Sitting on the throne, he should have been such a person.

The root of Wang Anshi's departure lies in the emperor. No matter how well he does it, once the emperor feels that he can't use it, he will be immediately abandoned, which is to give a false reputation and praise the emperor's generosity. Not to mention the person sitting on the imperial couch now, even the Emperor Renzong who is praised by everyone, isn't it the same? The collapse of the Qingli New Policy, isn't it that Emperor Renzong thought it was unnecessary to make Lu Yijian succeed?

Looking at the history of all the emperors, all the emperors are like this. Scholars who are familiar with history books should have been no longer surprised.

The depressed mood made Zhang Dun feel unintentional to mention Wang Anshi who returned to Jiangning to retire, and only reminded Han Gang: "Yukun, you should be careful of Shen Kuo. Although this person is talented, he has no faith. It is not trustworthy to use it. If someone in the two palaces suppresses you, he will be able to stab you in the back."

Zhang Dun had a deep prejudice against Shen Kuo, and Han Gang couldn't help but feel funny, but he didn't defend Shen Kuo and nodded, "I understand."

"Don't disregard it," Zhang Dun saw the faint smile on Han Gang's face, and couldn't help but remind him more, "Jie Fu's husband left, he went to flatter Wu Chongqing. Seeing that the wind was changing his stewards, have you ever seen anyone with half of his ability?"

Seeing Zhang Dun speaking solemnly, Han Gang had to become serious, "Don't worry, Brother Zihou, I will be careful and cautious."

Zhang Dun's expression relaxed a little. In his opinion, Han Gang had never suffered any losses, so he was too confident and learned from his mistakes. He had to slowly develop his skills. However, with his friendship with Han Gang, the question type should still be reminded, "There is also Luoyang, think about the Xijing Censorate, think about the Xijing left behind, where it is a tiger's den and wolf's nest. Yukun, you have to be more careful when you go to the west of Jingxi, don't make mistakes for others."

Han Gang nodded again. The capital of the Jingxi Transport Department was in Luoyang. Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, and Sima Guang, the veterans in Luoyang City, were more than a hundred times more steep than Fangcheng Pass. This time his attitude was extremely correct: "I will pay attention to it."

………………………………………

Shen Kuo is cleaning up his study.

I have already decided to go to Tangzhou as the governor, and this house that is exclusively for the Sansi envoy to live in should be given out.

Except for a few of the servants and maids in the family who signed the contract of selling their bodies, most of the rest were hired in the capital. They are now sent out, and the other ones are the Qinggu at home. More than half of them have left for various reasons in the past two days.

But this is not the main reason why Shen Kuo cleaned up his study.

In fact, the collection of books placed in the study room has been packed. The precious orphans and manuscripts have been taken advantage of the sun and after a day of drying, they are carefully placed in the box, put together with some precious utensils and goods in the home, and tied to the car.

The remaining thousands of volumes are printed, most of which are Imperial College, and some are printed from the bookstores in Hangzhou. As for the shoddy production, there are only a few Fujian versions that are most widely circulated on the market. If it weren't for the rare content of the book itself, Shen Kuo, a famous book collector, would not have included it in his own library.

Nearly ten thousand books were filled with two carriages. In the past, rows of books were piled up, and the bookshelf piled up all the way to the ceiling were now empty. But Shen Kuo also had one of the most precious collections, which he had to put them away with his own hands.

The upper and lower cylinders made of red copper and copper skin are mounted on a wooden frame with a special shape. There is a small lens at each end of the cylinder, which is as clear and transparent as water. If you have good eyesight, you can still distinguish the lenses at both ends, with different concave and convexity.

This is a microscope.

Holding a microscope, Shen Kuo used it to observe the leaves falling into the yard, the well water lifted from the deep well, the mosquitoes that were pounced down, and a tuft of soil and sand on the ground. He had never thought that things he had been used to seeing would become so bizarre once they were enlarged.

The microscopic world that no one has ever seen before was attractive to Shen Kuo. He saw clearly the ants and bees’ eyes made of grids, and also saw clearly the subtle silky veins on the leaves, and even more clearly there were so many foreign objects in the clear and transparent well water. Because of this incident, Shen Kuo became more convinced of Buddhism. The Buddha saw a bowl of water, and there were 84,000 insects, so he should chant a mantra before drinking water. Some people sneered, but now he took a microscope and was really correct.

Just observing this meticulous world has taken away Shen Kuo's spared a lot of his spare time. Not only Shen Kuo, but many scholars and officials in the capital are curious about fields that no one has ever visited.

Since no one invented and named it a year ago, microscopes have spread in the capital in a blink of an eye. However, to this day, there are still very few people who can have a microscope with good performance in the capital. A microscope that is not well-made can only be magnified by ten times. Like the microscopes designed by Shen Kuo and created by him and hired famous craftsmen, they can be magnified by as many as thirty or forty times. A subtle hair is as thick as a stroke written in large regular script.

But even if you make a microscope that is not precise, the price is now as high as hundreds of tons, and it is priceless - crystal lenses are really rare, and those suitable for microscopes are even more rare.

This is because the demand is too high. After ten years of hard work, there are not many scholars and doctors with good eyesight, and older officials have demands without exception. The price of white crystal has risen to the sky. It is said that some people have begun to want to use glass for lenses, but they have not succeeded yet.

Moreover, the raw materials only account for a small part of the lenses, and the big one is artificial. Over the years, only six master craftsmen have been trained in the capital to grind lenses, and they each have several apprentices. A total of twenty or thirty craftsmen have to grind convex lenses and concave lenses for officials and wealthy families in the capital to improve their vision. This is of course a drop in the bucket.

To find four or five suitable microscope lenses, it is indeed not easy to choose from hundreds of concave lenses. Shen Kuo also chose it for a long time before he tried out the right one. This was due to his identity as a Sansi.

Thinking about it now, I'm afraid Han Gang himself wouldn't know that the crystal Yangsui he invented, also known as the lens, could come in such a useful way - he didn't have so many choices to test.

Such a microscope is worth a thousand gold, and Shen Kuo cherishes it as a family heirloom.

However, there are still some problems with the microscope. If you can use any method to allow the lens barrel to adjust the height and the height freely.

Shen Kuo carefully took apart the microscope, took the suede made from nitrogen, and wiped the fingerprints on the copper lens tube bit by bit, as if holding his young son, carefully putting them into a wooden box full of wood chips and straw.

"All packed up?"

Hearing the sound coming from behind, Shen Kuo's body trembled, and his hand holding the box almost loosened. He stood up and turned around, lowered his head, and replied in a respectful tone that he had not even faced the emperor in the hall, "Everything is done."

Xu Xian Zhang, who was even more awe-inspiring than the emperor, was standing in front of the study room. His pretty face, which was extremely beautiful, was covered with frost, and his eyebrows were hanging, making people dare not get close to him.

Unhappy eyes swept across the empty study room. Zhang glanced high above at Shen Kuo, who was one head higher than her: "I'll pack it up and send it to the car. When will it take a delay? Wait for someone to send in the palace to get there?" Then he turned around and walked back, "After you, you can't even live in the capital."

Shen Kuo didn't dare to speak back, holding the wooden box containing the treasure, and followed without giving instructions.

Zhang led the way, "Han Gang asked you to go to Tangzhou, but he didn't have a good idea. He wanted to borrow your skills. I heard that this channel has made a lot of contributions, so don't let him do all the contributions."

"Yes, yes, what the lady said." Shen Kuo nodded and followed step by step.

Zhang stopped and turned around and glared at Shen Kuo with a tiger face. Shen Kuo was shocked and nodded repeatedly, "I know, I understand, and I will not let Han Gang get the credit."

Zhang's face was a little better, and he looked at Shen Kuo who was servile and disgusted, "It's not that you are asking you to compete with him. You should get as much credit as you work hard. You are the governor of Tangzhou, not a subordinate of his Transportation Department, so you have to fight. If you are a Hanlin bachelor's bachelor's degree, you must be no worse than his Longtu bachelor's degree!"
