Ming Zuo

Chapter 200 The Germination of Science

The statement of coming from the people and going to the people has the support of everyone.

The reason why it went so smoothly, besides what Zuo Menggeng said was reasonable, was also related to the frustrated people in the official circles of Ming Dynasty themselves.

These people entered the official career with ambitions, and from the very beginning they had the dream of bringing peace to all generations.I hope to assist the king, help the country, and make the people good.

However, the setbacks in their careers made them have to think about where the problem was.

In this process, everyone has different insights and choices.

But there is no doubt that the political status quo in the late Ming Dynasty determined that their thinking and attempts were doomed to fail if they did not jump out of the original barriers.

Zuo Menggeng's appearance, the biggest effect is not to allow them to realize their ideals again, but to point them to a path they had never imagined.

Why do you have to cling to the king tightly?

Why must we have hope for the decaying and declining feudal dynasty?

Especially as soon as the sharp weapon of class division came out, these people quickly understood that they were different from the traditional scholars who cultivated and read their families.

Those people are landlords, people who have risen by relying on the land as a means of production.

And they are not.

Their families were merchants, handicraftsmen, and yeoman farmers.

These are oppressed and exploited people in today's society, and they are all eager to change their status and gain equal power.

This is also the reason for the early struggle of the Donglin Party.

When Zuo Menggeng dissected the essence of the Donglin Party’s early political struggles from the hazy and superficial disputes between monarchs and ministers, righteousness and evil, and morality, for people like Li Banghua, Cao Wenheng, Qu Shixu, Huang Daozhou, and Hou Xun For me, I really saw the sun and the moon through the clouds and mist, and I got the truth all at once.

It is true that they still cannot get rid of the influence of Confucian ethics, and their behavior and habits still have the true qualities of feudal scholar-bureaucrats, but as long as this door is opened for them, they will become the leaders of new ideas.

The birth, perfection, development, and popularization of any new idea cannot be achieved by a single person or a few people.

Not even Zuo Menggeng, who has the influence of later generations' memories.

It’s not that he couldn’t come up with a complete theory, but that it takes a long time for people of this era to accept new political ideas.

What he can do is to ignite this flame, and then invite more and more people to come over to jointly cultivate this weak flame into a prairie fire.

If this plan is to be realized, the first step is to spin off the existing Donglin Party.

Those who are rotten and depraved will be let go with the wind, and those who can still maintain their original intentions and pursue progress will be absorbed.Those who are conservative and stubborn will be kicked away, and those who are open-minded will be transformed into comrades.

It can be said that seeing such a group of people in front of him, Zuo Menggeng was finally convinced that his approach had begun to produce certain results.

The next thing to do is to wait.

Waiting for the day when new ideas will blossom, take root, and prosper.

In the process of waiting, what he has to do is to continuously strengthen the force of the new army and escort the new ideas.

He is not sure how long the secret here can be kept, and sooner or later it will be learned by Chongzhen and the court.

It is necessary to have enough force to defend these achievements before the imperial court notices.

Zuo Menggeng didn't really care much about whether the chaos here would hasten the downfall of the Ming Dynasty, or would allow the Eastern Captives outside the pass to enter the pass earlier.

This world is already very chaotic. There is not much difference between the day when Ming Dynasty perishes one day earlier and one day later.

When the imperial court came, they were opponents, when Donglu came, they were opponents, and when the peasant army came, they were opponents.

Only a strong self is the foundation of victory.

Regarding Li Banghua's arrangement, after careful consideration, Zuo Menggeng obtained his own consent and decided to set up a government affairs training class in Zuozhuang.

The purpose of this government affairs training class is to train enough administrative talents.

People like Li Banghua have been in office for many years and have a lot of experience. They have held many official positions and been to many places. Don't be too familiar with how the government works.

With his guidance, enough qualified officials can be born here quickly in the future.

Once the new army starts to take over the place, there will be no one to send and no one to manage, causing the place to be chaotic, but it will be delayed.

The Yin Jian of Li Zicheng is right in front of us, and of course we must learn from the successful examples of our party in later generations.

"Brother is lying, there is nothing on the moon!"

When Zuo Menggeng came to visit Deng Yuhan, little Lu An was very angry.

Pouting, the kind that can't be coaxed well.

Zuo Menggeng was taken aback.

"Yo, girl, what's the matter?"

Zuo Xianmei hugged Lu An, giggling while laughing.I haven't seen her for a few days, and this girl is obviously much happier and healthier.

Although a little tanned, he is full of energy and vitality, and it is gratifying to watch.

Especially at this time, wearing a simple uniform of the new army, it is even more delicate.

What Zuo Menggeng didn't expect was that he also saw a little guy here.

That is Zhang Lingxi.

And he knew what was going on.

"Brother Zuo, we made... made an astronomical telescope and observed the moon. The moon is so ugly, there's nothing on it?"

Hearing that they actually made an astronomical telescope, Zuo Menggeng was overjoyed.

"really?"

Deng Yuhan was also very cheerful.

"Of course it's true. Zuo, the lenses you have here are very pure and have helped me a lot. Of course, these children are very hardworking and studious, and they are also my good helpers."

Zuo Menggeng was really excited to finally have his own astronomical telescope.

He couldn't help hugging Deng Yuhan tightly.

"Mr. Deng, you are like a morning star, bringing a different light to this place."

Deng Yuhan waved his hand lightly, his round face was extremely rosy.

"Left, it's very good here. After coming here, I haven't coughed anymore. I like it very much. Thank you for bringing me here."

What Zuo Menggeng didn't know was that in the original history, Deng Yuhan passed away this year.

But one side supports the other side. After coming to Linqing, Deng Yuhan's body changed after he bid farewell to the yellow sandy sky and icy cold climate in the capital.

The current appearance does not show any signs of illness.

Not surprisingly, there is no problem in living another thirty years.

Zuo Menggeng was very concerned about him and asked, "Didn't the church ask about your missionary status?"

Deng Yuhan smiled strangely, pointed to a few children and said, "Isn't this my achievement?"

When Zuo Menggeng looked over, Zuo Xianmei, Lu An, and Zhang Lingxi stretched out their hands, drew the cross on their bodies, and shouted together: "Hallelujah!"

That expression was not devout at all.

For some reason, seeing their appearance, a picture appeared in Zuo Menggeng's mind.

A group of Western priests were running on the street, shouting "Hallelujah" incessantly.

And in the restaurant next to it, there are also a large group of locals playing the erhu, playing the strings, and singing operas.

The two sides seemed to be competing with each other with higher voices, and the scene was extremely joyful.

Strange, where is this memory?
After all, Lu An is a child, he gets angry quickly and quickly.Coupled with one year older, the children of the poor are sensible and early, and soon become lively again.

She pulled Zuo Menggeng to a large telescope, and said mysteriously: "Brother, I saw something interesting with this thing."

Zuo Menggeng thought she had discovered some new star, but saw Lu An turn the lens barrel, not upwards, but downwards, and finally aimed at a piece of white paper on the table.

Then Lu An put another leaf on the white paper.

"Brother, I found a strange little thing moving on it. Grandpa Deng, Sister Xianmei and Brother Lingxi also saw it, but no one knew what it was."

Zuo Menggeng was agitated, and hurriedly moved to the camera to look out.

Sure enough, the whole picture of the leaves in the camera is not visible at all.What can be seen is only a strange area, but there are some round translucent objects wriggling on it.

This situation really made Zuo Menggeng stupid.

Didn't they use astronomical telescopes to observe the space? How did they discover all the cells?

"Girl, how did you find this out?"

Lu An scratched his head and told the truth.

"Grandpa Deng wasn't there that day. I forgot the steps to operate the telescope and got the magnification and lens wrong. Then the lens barrel was turned upside down. I was weak and couldn't lift it. I stood on the stool and wanted to break it off. My eyes narrowed When I got to the camera, I saw that the quill pen used by Grandpa Deng was so scary."

Hearing the reason, Zuo Menggeng laughed on the spot.Can't help but hug Lu An and kiss him several times.

"Hahaha, this is really God helping me!"

No one could understand why he was so happy.

Zuo Menggeng waited until he had had enough laughs before he said seriously: "This discovery by Lu An has an important impact on changing the world. I suspect that the things she discovered are likely to be the most basic substances that make up living things. Well, I'll give it a name, just call it a cell. If we can study this well, we humans, animals, and plants will all be redefined."

Deng Yuhan is a medical scientist himself, so he understood it as soon as he heard it.

"Maybe we can also find the root of the disease by studying the cells."

Zuo Menggeng couldn't bear it anymore, and gave Deng Yuhan a hug again.

"Mr. Deng, congratulations. Your discovery is destined to be remembered by history."

Who would have thought that a little girl's unconscious operation would become the first discoverer of cells?

This discovery was born in China, and its significance is even greater.

Zuo Menggeng felt that this was a godsend opportunity to promote the progress of Chinese medicine and biology.

"Mr. Deng, I will provide financial and material support for your laboratory. Give them what you want, please lead them and continue to study in depth. Maybe many diseases will be treated because of this, and countless people can be saved. s life."
