Chapter 42 Arts and Sciences

People like Ma's Milk, who had come here from the north, couldn't help but be thrilled to hear some of the inkmen around them pointing to the people standing on the shore and whispering their names.

Every name is like thunder, and I often hear it in the army, but I have never seen it.

For example, Ma Milk Xin said, it turns out that this is the one who made gunpowder for ridge farming ox plough ploughshares, and I often heard his name.

For example, the poultry slippery, the mare's milk heart said, it turns out that this is the giant of our Mo family, and this is the character who has to pass on the Mozi to defend the city on Mount Tai.

For example, Gongzaoye, Ma Milk Xin said, it turns out that this is the person who became famous in Shangqiu in the first war and became a character in Pengcheng to change......

These well-known characters can now be seen with their own eyes, and the mare's milk is not only happy, but also more determined, if you can't convince yourself in Sishang, then you must ask these people in person...... Benefiting all the people in the world, are you counting those Hu herdsmen and herdsmen like him north of Takayanagi?

At this time, I suppressed this thought, and along the way, I had a new understanding of the prosperous paradise described by the Mo family, with fragrant valleys along the coast of Sishang, melons and vegetables flooding the fields, and more ditches and ditches, and merchants coming and going.

Seeing it, it is far better than Gao Yanagi, and he is more firm in his heart to think that the morality of the Mo family is right.

So he puffed up his chest and reflected the sun's rays with the brass military medal hanging on his chest.

…………

After the scene was shocking enough, there was a banquet, followed by some specific inquiries about the westward journey, the seeds brought back, and the sorting of books.

This time, Solushen returned from his westward journey, and for the Mo family, the seeds, books, and skills learned by those craftsmen, as well as his knowledge of the West, were enough to qualify for such a welcoming scene.

The seeds alone are enough to enrich the living standards of the people of Zhuxia Middle-earth.

The cucumber tastes fragrant, it is very delicious, and if it weren't for Solu Shen's return from this westward trip, he wouldn't be able to eat it.

Sesame seeds can be used to extract oil, and now that iron pots have begun to be promoted and oil extraction has existed, sesame seeds can be used as an important oil crop.

Alfalfa is the best way to fertilize the field, can be used as fodder to raise cattle and sheep, and can also be used for crop rotation and fallow.

Many dishes are much worse if they don't have the taste of garlic, and bringing garlic back from the West can add a lot of flavor to the table.

In the case of broad beans, they are boiled in salted water or cooked in oil in summer, and they are also a delicacy that accompanies wine. Coriander can make people happy and sad; If there is no pomegranate, there will be no style of "patio fish tank pomegranate tree" in the land of Yanzhao; Not to mention the elegance of the glow-in-the-dark glass.

In addition to these, Western philosophy, architecture, shipbuilding and other techniques can be exchanged with each other, and those who are good can be selected and followed, and they can be used for reference.

Suo Lu Shen recorded what he saw and heard along the way, the organization and development of the Mo people along the way, and his own activities in the West into a diary, and after submitting it, he told a lot about these high-level Mo people.

When he had said this, he asked, "Now that you have returned, you will devote yourself to the great cause of benefiting the world." Do you have any plans? ”

Suo Lushen smiled: "I just came back, and many truths may not be able to keep up, and I still have to learn for a while." ”

"Besides, I have come back from the Far West with many books, which need to be translated. It's going to take some time, and I'm 50 years old and can't afford to go through all this traffic. ”

"Just ......"

When he said this, he looked up at Yu Lili and Shi, and said: "I am in Athens, and I have created a school garden to teach the morality of the Mo family, and many people listen to it. Although a few people stayed there this time, they were not knowledgeable after all. I'm old, but I just hope that if possible, I can send some people to the far west to teach morality there. ”

"Since the will of heaven is correct, then we should uphold the heart of victory, have the ambition to spread the world, and broadcast Mohist learning."

Everyone also nodded yes, the return of Solu Shen proves that the world is big enough, and it also makes some changes in the view of the world in Middle-earth at this time.

However, the whereabouts of Solushen had been discussed before he returned.

Seeing that Solushen said this, he smiled and said, "You think about the same as everyone else. Where are you going, everyone has studied it......"

"Well, Pengcheng is now going to establish a Chengjun, how about you as the head of liberal arts?"

Sungkyun, the ancient name of the university, and it is also the ancient name of the rumored era of the Five Emperors.

It is recorded in "Chunguan and Da Si Le" that during the time of the Five Emperors, he was in charge of the law of Chengjun to govern the study and politics of the founding of the country, and the children of the United Kingdom.

At this time, Zhou Tianzi's government-run university was called "Shangqi", and the name of Chengjun was also to avoid unnecessary trouble. Although Zhou Tianzi has no prestige now, and the Jin land is divided into three points and the Tian family is in power, there are some unnecessary troubles that are not necessary for the time being.

As soon as he heard it, Suo Lu knew what Cheng Jun meant, and now there is a lot of knowledge taught in the Mo family's school, but the previous highest school did not have a specific name.

He just didn't quite understand what this "text" meant.

Of course, he knows the word Wen, but at this time, Wen has a lot of meanings.

From a personal point of view, the poultry slippery is the master of Suo Lushen after all, which does not involve the morality of the Mo family, so it is most appropriate to explain it by the poultry slippery.

The original meaning of arts and sciences is actually very similar.

The meaning of the text is "lines" such as tattoos and patterns on plants and trees, and all kinds of subsequent meanings are extensions.

The meaning of the reason is not only next to the word king, but also related to jade, and its own meaning is the internal pattern of jade, the annual ring boil of trees, and other internal patterns.

One inside and one outside, just in conjunction with yin and yang, the meaning derived is the connotation, principle, direction and so on of things.

Used here, this is divided into liberal arts and sciences, that is, borrowed by extension.

The study of history, mountains, people, customs, and articles.

Rationality is the study of the internal principles and origins of things.

Solu Shen easily understood the meaning, and muttered the distinction between arts and sciences, and asked thoughtfully, "Since I am a good student in this liberal arts, it is just right that I can translate the books I brought back and tell them to my students." ”

Shi shook his head and said, "It's not just talking. Since the text itself is the meaning of texture, it is necessary to explain the truth clearly. It is necessary to explain some things according to the morality of the Mohists and the theory of the Promised Land. You are also responsible for the compilation of these books. ”

"Again, since you have returned from the Far West, and the articles and books you bring back need to be translated, you might as well teach some more disciples to study Greek and Persian. In the future, it will be reasonable. ”

Reasoning is what diplomats mean at this time.

"The Thirteenth Year of Zhao Gong" once said, "The life of reason, no month does not come", and later from the meaning of the diplomat, it was extended to the clothes and supplies carried out far away, and there was the word luggage.

The idea of establishing Sungkyun was unanimously approved long before Solu returned.

One is the morality of the Mohists, which is to study the will of heaven and the origin of things, which is also the foundation for the Mohists to practice for eternity.

The second is that Mozi himself is a person who likes to explore the essence of things, and the eight methods of optics, sound propagation, and mechanical structure are all things that Mozi has learned throughout his life.

The third is that over the years, everyone in the Mo family has seen with their own eyes the changes brought about by knowledge and the power contained in it.

And most importantly, in the past ten years, Shi personally taught more than 50 "descendant" disciples, and what he learned from the beginning was completely out of step with the times, but according to what Shi knew.

As early as when he went to the state of Chu, those disciples who were still children had been following him, and before Mozi died, there were many contents that even Mozi could not understand.

Now that these 50 people have grown up, and some of them have begun to participate in the compilation of trigonometric tables and other work, these people can support the foundation of science and thus train more people.

This is a plan made more than ten years ago, it is ten years of tree people, and now it is finally the season to harvest.

The original meaning of distinguishing between the arts and sciences and the use of the arts and sciences must also explore the origin of things in order to attach importance to the liberal arts.

For example, why is history the way it is, is it the destiny of heaven? Or does history have its own internal laws, and only by conforming to the will of heaven and Taoism can the world prosper? These are all places where the Mohists competed culturally with Confucianism, Yang Zhu, Liezi and others.

In addition, once the world can really be determined in the future, then there is an urgent need for some people who are proficient in Persian and Greek, even if the future is still far away, and in the near future, they can also communicate with the outside world and transshipment trade.

Suo Lu Shen himself is proficient in historical books, and after worshipping the bird as a teacher, his reputation in Qilu is already very high. From the great cunning of the East to the great talent of Qilu, it is a classic case of "learning to be reborn".

After another ten years of westward travel, his understanding and insight into the world are far better than the rest.

In addition, he has also seen the teaching methods of the Far West, and he himself has to translate some articles and books, and this position is up to him, which is not only an affirmation of his hard work in the past ten years, but also in line with his wishes.

After asking for some more details, Solushen asked, "Where is this Chengjun built?" ”

Shidao: "Construction has begun, and it is in Pengcheng." It covers a very large area, and you can not bring back some craftsmen from the far west, but you can also build some buildings like the far west, so that people can know the size of the world and the difference in style. ”

"Within Chengjun, there is only literature and science, and the origin of things is explored."

"In addition to Chengjun, there are military schools, teachers' schools, craftsman schools, and so on. All kinds of systems, selections, and assessments also need to be improved, and some of them have been improved, so you can take a look at them in a few days. When the time comes, someone will explain it to you. ”

"The gorgeous buildings in the world are either the residences of the Son of Heaven or the palaces of the princes. We are different here, this Chengjun will be built into the most elegant place in Sishang, so that everyone is proud of Xiaotianzhi and everyone is proud of reasoning. ”

"If learning is not prosperous, how can it benefit the world? This matter is very important, and in terms of thousands of years, it is a heavy responsibility. Although the westward journey is hard, at least you know the east, west, north and south; The fatigue of studying is difficult to form rules in a thousand ways. ”

"You can't do without Hongyi, and there is a long way to go. Ambition for the world Fen as its own responsibility, isn't it also important? Death is gone, isn't it far away? ”

"These things, and the things that you are going to bury yourself in translating those books...... There is no smoke of gunpowder, no drums and horns contending, but I once said that our generation studies governance and war so that the next generation of people in the world can study geometry, nine numbers, history, geography, poetry, and music...... We don't fight for the sake of fighting, we always know what kind of ambitions we have to have after the war. ”

Solushen nodded solemnly, thinking that he would go all out and do his best.

After saying this, Shi said again: "There is one more thing...... Can you sort out some of the customs, geography, rivers and other news west of Yiqu as soon as possible? ”

When Suo Lu Shen returned, the Qin people walked with him, and when he heard Shi say this, he asked, "But do you want to be with the Qin people?" ”
