Han Dao world

Chapter 1166
Xu Jing was caught off guard and was blushed by Wang Can.

Chang'an Yinfang was established by Mrs. Tang, and now it is presided over by Song Du and Dong Wan.Although Song Du and Dong Wan are nobles, their ability is obviously not as good as Mrs. Tang.

In the past two years, with the establishment of Nanyang Yinfang, the bright moment of Chang'an Yinfang has long passed. Not only the influence of published articles is far less than before, but the business situation has plummeted.

The monthly salary can still be paid on time, and the year-end rewards and the like are limited, which is better than nothing.

As soon as they entered the Twelfth Moon Gate, they began to think about this issue.Especially knowing the situation of Nanyang Yinfang from different channels, and knowing that the year-end rewards of Nanyang Yinfang may be very large this year, they couldn't sit still.

At this time, Lai Min received an invitation from Pan Jun to come to Nanyang to participate in the book recommendation meeting. A few of them used the excuse of visiting relatives to inspect Nanyang Yinfang and came together.

Confucianists pay attention to being rich and benefiting the world, and being poor is to be good for oneself alone.A few of them are erudite Confucianists, neither have the ability to settle down, nor can they be poor and independent, so they traveled thousands of miles to Nanyang to beg for food, which is somewhat embarrassing.

He really wanted to curse back, but when he thought about Wang Can's identity and the person on the second floor who reminded Wang Can just now, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Although he wasn't sure who the second floor was, he couldn't afford to provoke anyone who could influence Wang Can.

When Xu Jing was struggling, Lai Min stood up, and said angrily: "The barbarian king, dare to be king? Ling Shi is exaggerating. Since Zhou Zhongzhi is not sure whether the stars are the sun, let alone It cannot be regarded as evidence of the non-existence of Dao. Moreover, when the sage sorted out the Five Classics, the land of civilization did not exceed the pass in the west, the fortress in the north, and the mountains in the south. Today, the territory of the Han Dynasty has expanded more than several times, and the Five Classics are also common. Inference, when the Son of Heaven pacifies the Western Regions and the world is unified, the Five Classics will remain the Five Classics and there will be no change.”

Liu Xie could hear it clearly upstairs, but he couldn't remember whose voice it was from, so he pondered for a moment.

Xun Wenqian is deaf. "Like Lai Min. Why did they all come to Wancheng?"

"What else can you do, visit your relatives." Xun Yu said angrily, and gave Xun Wenqian a sneaky look.

Xun Wenqian also reacted, secretly smiled, and did not continue.

Lai Min is from Nanyang, Xu Jing is from Runan, and the other Meng Guang is from Henan. It is reasonable to say that he is a provincial relative who passed through Wancheng.But she knew in her heart that this was just to save face for them. The most likely truth was what Wang Can said just now. Chang'an Yinfang was not doing well. These people wanted to see Nanyang Yinfang to see the opportunity.

Thinking back to the fact that they thought they were meritorious officials for the prosperity of Chang'an Yinfang and ignored her and Mrs. Tang, she inevitably felt a little disdainful, and felt that Wang Can's words really relieved her anger.

What great Confucianism gave you a chance, but you are useless.

Then she thought of the three princes in power that Xun Yu had in mind.Even if the emperor is willing to delegate power and rule under the arch, can the Sangong really handle political affairs well and ensure the safety of the country and the people?

This is really a debatable question.

Facts have proved that ministers dominated by Confucian scholars are at least incapable of managing troops, and it is difficult to assume the functions of Taiwei.

At this time, Wang Can's answer came from downstairs.

"Your Majesty supports the Emperor's Western Expedition?"

Lai Min blurted out without thinking. "Naturally. There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two kings in the people. Even if it is a barbaric land, no one is allowed to overstep and should be conquered."

Wang Can smiled slightly, ignoring Lai Min's deliberate counterattack.

For him, the focus is no longer on whether the saying "There is no two suns in the sky, and there are no two kings in the world" is true. It is more meaningful for Lai Min to publicly express his support for the emperor's western expedition.

Lai Min was not only a local celebrity and Confucian scholar in Nanyang, but also a famous minister of Guangwu. After he came to She, he had a great influence in Nanyang.

"Then do you think that the barbarians can be made a vassal with only a book like "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences"?"

"Does Ling Shi mean to say that only works that can make the barbarians of the Western Regions proclaim themselves champions?" Lai Min came prepared, and did not answer the question, causing a group of people to laugh knowingly.

According to this standard, there is not a single article here that can be rated as a champion.

In contrast, the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" is more qualified.

Wang Can didn't panic, and talked freely. "The Master said: People from far away are not convinced, so they cultivate literature and virtue. There is no need to say too much about the merits of enlightenment. But sometimes the merits of enlightenment are not satisfactory. Therefore, although soldiers are weapons, saints have no choice but to use them. If this is the case, then it cannot be used. Then stick to literature and virtue, and limit yourself to the Five Classics.”

He paused, and then said: "What's more, "Five Classics Zhangju Houding" is not the Five Classics, but just the hair of the Five Classics?"

Lai Min asked: "Which article does Shi think is helpful to the current affairs?"

Wang Can turned around and walked to the whiteboard where the title of the book was recorded, and clicked on the "Learning Star Positioning Technique" on the lower left. "I think this book is the champion. Please listen to me for the reason."

Hearing the name of "Looking at the Stars", Liu Xie nodded secretly.

Wang Can, the host, is quite knowledgeable and knows what the most urgently needed knowledge is.

"Astronomy of Positioning with Stars" was written by Huang Yi and Xu Yue. The theme is the refinement of the technique of positioning with stars, as well as some mathematical discussions.Although the content of this book is not much, it has both theory and practice, and the reasoning is very rigorous. It has raised the original simple star positioning technique to a considerable level, and it has practical value.

Shangfang is developing an instrument based on the theory of this book, named the star-drawing instrument.From the point of view of principle and function, it is very similar to the sextant of later generations.With this instrument, whether it is sailing or marching in the future, it will be much more convenient.

In addition, this kind of star finder can also be used for astronomical observations, which is also helpful for a better understanding of the world.

From these perspectives, the booklet "Pull Star Positioning Technique" is of great significance, far surpassing such a tome as "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences".It's just that this kind of article is too practical, the required mathematics is too advanced, and the instrument is not as fun as a telescope, so it can't attract the attention of Confucian scholars, and the number of publications is only a few hundred.

When recommending the book before, not many people knew about this booklet. It was Wang Can who strongly recommended it as the host, so it was listed on the whiteboard.

Wang Can was very well prepared, and arrived at the meanings of "The Art of Locating the Stars" one by one.

Sure enough, the potential wide application of the "Looking Star Positioning Technique" attracted the attention of many people, and more people asked questions, some of which were so professional that even Wang Can couldn't explain them.Fortunately, Xu Yue was also present, so he got up immediately to answer everyone's questions instead of Wang Can.

Even Pan Jun himself put aside the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" for the time being, and listened carefully to Xu He's explanation of the principle and practical application of "Pull Star Positioning Technique".

Just as Wang Can said, although he stood out for Song Zhong today and recommended "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" as the champion, his own ambition is not to be a great Confucian and to be a poor scholar all his life.He wants to make a contribution and do something great, and the article "The Star Positioning Technique" which can be used in military affairs and business, and has considerable academic content, is the knowledge he is most interested in.
