But no matter how Hong Tao changed the topic along the way, this Shen Da engineer always looked thoughtful, neither objecting nor pandering, as if he had a great hesitation in his heart.

This made Hong Tao begin to doubt his origin again, could it be that he was really a traverser, and he was evaluating the pros and cons of cooperating with himself in his heart?

If that's the case, Hong Tao will have to consider asking the wasp to give him a shot in the back of the head. No matter what Dana can't afford to pay for his own life, it is impossible for two traversers to get along peacefully, so only one can be left. This is Hong Tao's most basic bottom line, which cannot be crossed.

When he arrived at the back garden of the Horse Mansion, Shen Kuo was a little more normal, turning left and right around the printing presses, and after getting permission, he also started to operate it himself, like a child who got a big toy, curious about everything. Seeing this scene, Hong Tao was a little relieved.

"Does it have a deep meaning for the officials to find Shen Cunzhong to come to the house? Although the student is the nephew of the elder family, in addition to the important affairs of the imperial court, he still looks forward to the head of the husband, which is also what the boss has repeatedly advised. If so, please make it clear that the student may also plan ahead for the gentleman. But there was one person who was not very relieved, Gao Cuifeng quietly came over and whispered in Hong Tao's ear with his magnetic baritone.

"Is there anything wrong with him?"

Hong Tao was really confused, he didn't say anything about his worries, and it was impossible for anyone to see it. But as soon as Gao Cuifeng said it, it was as if he was going to harm others by bringing Shen Kuo back, could it be said that he had a grudge against Shen Kuo?

"Sir should have forgotten that Zizhan's disaster depends on this person's work......"

The confusion of the colt has become an everyday thing, and everyone is used to it these days. This colt is indeed sick, and he is not lightly ill, and he dares to forget everything, and he is not pretending. So Gao Cuifeng once again became a pick-up and filler, chattering about a past.

Shen Kuo and Su Shi used to be colleagues and worked together in Chongwen Pavilion. Chongbunkan is the National Library, and it seems that from ancient times to the present, the position of librarian has a high success rate.

During this period, the two had a good relationship, even if they were not close friends, they were acquaintances, Shen Kuo seemed to be involved in poetry, but it was not as prominent as Su Shi, and they often communicated together.

Soon Wang Anshi began to implement the new policy, and the friendship between the two people has been cracked since then. Shen Kuo was a serious supporter of the New Deal and was heavily used; Su Shi and Sima Guang stood on the opposite side of the New Deal and drifted away.

Later, Shen Kuo was ordered to go to Hangzhou to inspect, just in time for Su Shi to be the deputy mayor of Hangzhou, and he continued his old relationship after work, and chatted a lot of poems or something together.

Then, Shen Kuo annotated some of the places in Su Shi's poems that attacked the new policy, and presented them to Emperor Shenzong after returning to Beijing. Shenzong was furious after reading it, saying that Su Shi was fooling the courtiers and had no righteousness as a monarch and minister.

This incident is said to be the fuse of the Wutai poetry case, if it were not for the instruction of Emperor Shenzong, those imperial historians would not be so bold to suggest that the emperor kill Su Shi directly.

Fortunately, Wang Anshi was still relatively sensible, and personally wrote to Emperor Shenzong, persuading the emperor not to break the rules of political struggle, let alone kill people because of his speech, and to kill courtiers.

So Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou as a deputy regiment training envoy, which involved a large number of conservative officials who were demoted. Su Shi is Wang Xu's best friend, and he is also the guest of the Horse Mansion, and the horse was almost swept into the whirlpool of the Wutai poetry case.

In the eyes of others, Wang Shu and Shen Kuo should have enmity, the depth of hatred is difficult to say, it all depends on the heart of the horse, it is said that it is difficult to laugh at the enmity.

This time, Shen Kuo suddenly appeared in the Horse Mansion, others may not have realized it, but Gao Cuifeng, who was familiar with the court, immediately panicked, thinking that the Horse was going to take revenge on Shen Kuo.

You really can't pretend not to see this matter, even if Shen Kuo has a loss of virtue and is sorry for his friends, it is still a personal grudge. Now he is an official of the imperial court, and his position is not low, if there is a problem in the Horse Mansion, this matter will be a big problem, so big that the emperor can keep this brother-in-law.

"Xia Shu is too worried, I don't think about Lord Shen, let the previous things pass, there is no need to discuss which is right and which is not. Regardless of whether it is the new party or the old party, everyone is first and foremost an official of the imperial court, and for the sake of the country's long-term plan, it is understandable to put aside personal feelings for the time being. Lord Shen is good at organs, and the printing press is still imperfect, so he needs the help of people of insight, so he doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Now Hong Tao understands why Shen Kuo was so worried just now that he refused to say it clearly, presumably he also had the same concerns as Gao Cuifeng, and he couldn't understand why he, who was supposed to be the enemy of the family, was suddenly so enthusiastic.

Hong Tao really doesn't have any thoughts about the Wutai poetry case, because it's none of his business, and he can't be sure who is right and who is wrong. In fact, everyone is right and everyone is wrong.

When the political struggle is too intense, it is inevitable that some people will try to do the wrong thing, and in order to ensure their own safety, people with the same demands will form parties. Then there is the party struggle, and it is easy to deviate from the original intention and turn into opposition for the sake of opposition.

Once you enter this rhythm, it is not someone who can control the rhythm, and the escalation of the struggle can occur at any time, and more dirty and fierce means can also appear at any time.

How to control party contention within a certain range is a topic that many countries have been studying in later generations. It is necessary to let everyone work together, but also to avoid too serious internal friction. In addition to relying on one's own conduct, laws and institutions are also required to follow suit.

This time, the partisan struggle was put on hold for the time being, and the two sides chose to compromise and make concessions in the face of huge interests and huge external pressure, and this was a good start.

As long as it can succeed once, there is a successful precedent to follow, and future generations will naturally have one more choice when they encounter similar problems. In fact, in Hong Tao's eyes, this is a major event, but unfortunately not many people can feel it yet.

"This is a student who is too worried, but I am afraid that Lord Shen will not be able to use it for Mr. It is rumored that Lord Shen only returned to Beijing this time to resume his life, and he would return to Yanzhou to rectify the forbidden army as soon as the winter passed. ”

After listening to Hong Tao's explanation, Gao Cuifeng finally let go of a heart, but he was not very optimistic about Hong Tao's hope. Shen Kuo is an official of the imperial court, no matter how he is tempted and seduced, he will not resign from his official position and go to be a partner for a colt. In addition, Shen Kuo is unlikely to stay in Beijing for a long time, and his position is in the side, which is not unimportant.

"Lord Shen didn't go to work? That's a good thing......"

This news did not disappoint Hong Tao, but was quite satisfied. If it doesn't arrive next winter, I'm afraid that my first batch of goods will be transported to the Xixia border, and it will inevitably pass through Yanzhou at that time.

If Shen Kuo is presiding over the local area, it is much easier to get along with than changing to a strange official. You must know that your actions are not openly supported by the court, and many things cannot even be explained to the courtiers, and you really have no choice but to meet a stubborn magistrate who despises his relatives.

In view of this original intention, Hong Tao not only has to release his previous suspicions with Shen Kuobing, but also has to increase the fire, and strive to make the two sides enter the stage of mutual appreciation, so that it will be much easier to get in touch in the future.

"Brother Shen, please move along, junior brother still has some questions to ask."

How to shorten the distance between the two sides and enhance understanding? One way to deal with politicians and another way to deal with scientists.

That is to keep giving him problems, and then help him solve them together. In the process of solving the problem, as long as you can provide him with the necessary help, it must be able to enhance the relationship.

This set of things can be found everywhere in the factories of later generations, called the friendship of work. A few people who are strangers may become friends through the research of a certain project, and the more talented people are, the easier it is to sympathize with each other.

Of course, there may also be contradictions, and there are people who are too utilitarian wherever they go, and it is not a taste to see others who are more capable than him.

Fortunately, Shen Kuo was not so greedy, after he followed Hong Tao into the study, he was attracted by a table of papers, and he couldn't pull it away.

These papers are the textbooks of the Mathematics Institute that Hong Tao intends to publish, and they are called "Advanced Mathematics!"

What a shame! How dare you make a name! Selling fame and reputation! If future generations see these formulas and definitions, they will definitely evaluate Hong Tao's actions.

What kind of advanced mathematics, most of them are algebra and geometry in junior and senior high schools, but when it comes to Hong Tao's mouth, it becomes his own mastery, and he has to be printed into a book and rushed to be used as a college textbook.

"Lord Duwei makes good use of Tianzhu characters, I don't know if these are ......" A bunch of formulas alone was not enough to impress Shen Kuo, because he couldn't understand it.

"Brother Shen is not in a hurry, listen to the younger brother slowly...... This word is indeed Tianzhu script, but it has been reborn after the improvement of the younger brother, even if the Tianzhu people see it, they have not seen it. And these formulas are even more incomprehensible to them, but Brother Shen may be able to figure it out, so let's start with these symbols. ”

It doesn't matter if you don't know each other, Hong Tao can be responsible for translating. Between the two mathematicians, it was not a big problem whether the font looked good or not, and as they spoke, they used a pen to translate the numbers and symbols into words.

For two and a half days, the horse and Lord Shen were huddled in the study and muttered, in addition to having people deliver food, water, and paper, they could only see the figures of the two when they went to the toilet, and they held a few pieces of paper in their hands every time, and they didn't forget to write and draw when they squatted in the pit, as if no one was around.

In the end, Hong Tao had to ask the wasp to forcibly stuff this Lord Shen into a carriage and send him back to the house, and before leaving, he stuffed a roll of paper full of words in his hand.

If you don't do this, you can't really go away, Shen Kuo has basically not eaten seriously in the past two days, and he hasn't slept much, he is embarrassed but excited, and he has symptoms of nervousness.

If he continues to endure so hard, Hong Tao is very worried that he will die suddenly of emaciation, what he needs is a living Shen Kuo, and he doesn't want a crazy and half-dead scientist.
