The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1692

[1692. Chapter 1609 Unparalleled in the World]

This…

is Chen Shisan’s dream.

Very simple and very practical.

He took care of his clan members and put food in their stomachs. Even his ancestors could share in the blood food.

This dream… may not be worth mentioning to many people, but for Chen Shisan, it requires a full year of hard work, and even… a little bit of luck.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he began to look forward to it, hoping that Chen Shisan would be able to feed these piglets at the end of the year and finally get his wish.

The officials couldn’t help but think deeply as they listened.

They are the most intelligent people in the world. They have read books and know principles many times better than Chen Shisan. But at this moment, their hearts were touched by this simple and ‘ridiculous’ dream.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. He took a deep breath and said, “So, this Ming Song is a good book for Chen Qing’s family?”

Chen Shisan stopped smiling and looked in awe. He stood up: “Actually, ordinary people can’t tell whether this book is good or bad. I just know that everyone can barely understand it. If you understand it and follow the methods in this book, you will be able to live and work in peace. In this book, in addition to talking about nutrition, There are other useful aspects of the pig method. It will be beneficial to read it. In Xiaomin Village, everyone is willing to spend money to buy it. Some people learn to prevent pests from sweet potatoes, while others learn to prevent injuries from injuries… If Xiaomin is lucky this year. If the pigs can be raised well, the few acres of rented mountain land will also be planted with sweet potatoes…”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded when he heard this, then looked at Liu Jiandao: “What do Xie Qing’s family think?”

Liu Jiandao: ” I also read Ming Song a few days ago. After reading it, I felt a little doubtful. What are the benefits of reading this book? Books must have their own benefits. Just like the old minister, reading a parallel prose, if it is well written, can at least benefit the body and mind, and make the whole body feel comfortable. When I first read the Ming Dynasty, I really felt that it tasted like nothing. Today I heard it. Only then did we know that this book was not written to the old minister, but to Chen Shisan.”

Liu Jian paused and then said: “As Qi Guogong said, his book is not written at all. It is for scholars. Among the tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, the scholars in this world are just a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning. But among these tens of millions of people, scholars of all dynasties, no one has ever cultivated it for them. From ancient times to the present, only the Duke of Qi has written books, and if people like Chen Shisan can benefit from this book, then… this book is of great use to Chen Shisan after reading this. The book can provide me with several pigs in one year, which is hundreds or thousands of pounds of meat for one person, but what about the tens of thousands of Chen Shisan?”

Liu Jian, as the head of the cabinet, thought. More profoundly, his words were like throwing a stone into the silent water, which immediately moved people.

Emperor Hongzhi was also shocked. Inspired by Liu Jian, he couldn’t help but think of this.

If one Chen Shisan is like this, the increase in production brought about by thousands of Chen Shisan, when the few become more, the benefits will be terrible.

At this time, I saw Liu Jian sighing again: “Throughout the ages, scholars have written too many books for scholars. The books that have been handed down so far will not be able to be read even if they take a lifetime. I can give these thousands However, the number of books read by millions of people is so few that even the old ministers did not know there was a second book besides this Ming Ode. It is indeed a great merit for Qi Guogong to write this book. What is advocated is to establish virtue, meritorious service, and establish words. These are the three immortalities. , has become a model for future generations of people to read, and this… is a speech for it. Old minister, I once thought about repairing books so that I could leave something to the world, but the books I wanted to repair were still based on the wisdom of my predecessors. I am very ashamed to write some articles and poems and poems. Compared with the Duke of Qi, I am not saying that my articles or poems and poems are not good. It’s just that… such articles have long been a problem for ancient literati. After it is badly written, people regard it as a holy book. Reading it, it is pleasing to the eyes and happy in the heart, like a spring breeze. This is what the old ministers praised in the past. There are great scholars in talking and laughing, and there are no white people in the world. Today, after listening to Chen Shisan’s words, But suddenly I realized… I accepted the emperor’s salary, claimed to be devoted to the country, and shared the emperor’s worries. Even with such a superior attitude, Fang Jifan, a junior, could think of what Chen Shisan thought and write a book for them. I… “

Liu Jian’s face trembled slightly and seemed a bit verbose, obviously because he was greatly touched in his heart.

Having said this, he prostrated himself directly on the ground and said cautiously: “I am ashamed, old minister.”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, looked at the officials, and finally his eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao.

Emperor Hongzhi was thoughtful, and then said to Zhu Houzhao: “The prince has heard what Chen Shisan and Liu Qing said, what can you say?”

At this time, Zhu Houzhao’s mind was filled with numbers. After listening to Emperor Hongzhi’s words, , only to come back to his senses, he only heard a few fragments of what he had just said, and hurriedly said: “Father, what they said is very good.”

“How is it good?” Emperor Hongzhi asked subconsciously.

This lecture was originally intended to be used as a lecture for the emperor and the prince. Emperor Hongzhi found this speech refreshing, and of course he hoped that his son would also benefit from it.

Zhu Houzhao: “…”

He thought for a while and finally said: “My son… I thought… I read to the common people… That’s right… the common people can’t just raise pigs, they also need to learn arithmetic. Well, this arithmetic is the real university knowledge. At a small level, people can calculate their annual income and income. At a large level, all the knowledge in the world can be covered by numbers. This science of arithmetic…”

Hongzhi The emperor smiled: “Today’s discussion is about Ming Song.”

“Oh.” Zhu Houzhao thought about it again and suddenly said: “This book is very good. I must read it more in the future.”

Emperor Hongzhi So he stopped talking, but he was not angry. He knew that his son always had his own ideas, so he simply said: “Go back and read it a few times, come see me again, and tell me clearly what you learned from it. As for the gentlemen… …The same is true.”

All the officials said: “I obey the order.”

Zhu Houzhao also agreed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, several more ministers came forward. Most of these people came from Xishan Academy like Ouyang Zhi. In the past few days, they had actually read the book and told what they had learned from the book. On the other hand, Other Hanlins could hardly say anything.

At noon, Emperor Hongzhi dispersed the lecture.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan left Chongwen Hall together.

Zhu Houzhao still looked absent-minded, following Fang Jifan, walking and stopping. Fang Jifan was used to this.

This guy… his brain is a little abnormal, and it is of great research value. Of course, this is for the psychiatry department of Xishan Medical College.

Of course…why don’t I have the value of being studied?

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao walked halfway and suddenly said: “Oh, I have figured it out.”

“What?” Fang Jifan looked interested. After all… he will need to rely on this for the rest of his life to be studied. guy.

Zhu Houzhao’s eyes shone brightly and he said: “Old Fang, look, we can conclude from the principle that people will fall if they are at a high place. There is something called gravity in this world. Our underground land is like Like a magnet, it can always attract people and objects to the ground. How powerful is this force?”

Fang Jifan felt a headache when he thought of this.

Zhu Houzhao obviously didn’t notice Fang Jifan’s frown and tangled expression.

Zhu Houzhao continued enthusiastically: “Just like I have a stone in my hand, and when I throw it into the sky, the stone breaks away from the gravity and flies up into the sky. But as the force of the stone breaking away from the gravity becomes smaller and smaller, it will eventually fall back again.” Falling, it can be seen that in order to get rid of gravity, there must be a balance point between the two forces… Lao Fang, do you understand?”

Fang Jifan seemed to understand and nodded: “Your Highness, can you pick up the key points?”

Zhu Houzhao said happily: “For the same reason, we can conclude that the larger the object, the greater the gravity. For example, if I use the same force and want to throw away a hundred kilogram stone, I am afraid that the stone will be lost after a while. It’s about to land. As long as we calculate the gravity, and then…calculate the force required to break away from gravity, then…then…”

He then said: “This is like a firework, it is flying towards the ground due to the force of gunpowder. The sky goes away, and then… If we calculate the force caused by the dose of gunpowder, calculate the weight of the fireworks, and then calculate its angle, and even the impact of the wind, doesn’t it mean that… we can accurately Predicting where the fireworks will fly and where they will eventually land is the same as archery, except that we rely on feelings and habits accumulated over many years, but people never delve into it. After the arrows are shot, how much force they endure? No one in the world has studied these things, but it exists. It clearly exists, but it is ignored… Tell me…Does this look like what you wrote in the Ming Dynasty? The original intention is that there are so many people in the world and no one cares about them or thinks about what books they need.”

Zhu Houzhao patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder and said with excitement: “This is a university question. If you can calculate it, then… then… It is equivalent to mastering the method of controlling all things. Not only can you control all things, but you can even understand the principle of controlling all things. This is a good subject. I will convene a group of arithmetic students to study it. Lao Fang, you are Ming Song is such a good book and has given me great inspiration.”
