Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1140 Tianzhong Academy
In the autumn of the third year of Qitai, the Luoyang New City, which was personally supervised by General Shen Weizhou, had already sprung up, and more than half of the construction was completed.Although there are still many construction sites inside and outside the city, the majestic posture of the majestic city has been fully demonstrated.

In addition to the big city that is still being built, the surrounding countryside, between Yi and Luo, is full of farmland and mulberry forests, which is not the same as the ruins and wasteland in the early years of the restoration.

As the vitality of the entire land of Heluo gradually recovered, the mountains and rivers around Luoyang gradually became full of vitality.In particular, Yique, which is located not far to the south of Luoyang New City, has become prosperous rapidly in the past few days, far surpassing other regions.

The prosperity around Yique and the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers are secondary. The most important reason is that after General Shen entered Luotai in the first year of Qitai, he first moved the Xinshi Pavilion and Engineering Academy, which was located in Shouchun, Huainan, to this place. Between the mountains on both sides of Yishui River.

In addition, there are still many folk studies distributed between the two mountains, which makes Yique's surrounding area permeated with a strong academic style, and thus it is nicknamed "Tianzhong School".

It's just that under the reputation of Tianzhong University, there is still a trace of disharmony hidden, and that is the Engineering Academy located in Xishan.The existence of the Academy of Engineering, for institutions such as Xinshiguan, always feels that there is a strange thing mixed in between us.

It is not surprising that Xinshiguan enjoys a high reputation in the world.Not to mention that the study of Confucian classics and righteousness has been a prominent school that has been passed down for a long time since the Han Dynasty and governed the country.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of the Xinshi Pavilion lies in its inclusiveness and comprehensiveness. Perhaps in a purely academic aspect, it still cannot reach the depth and height passed down from generation to generation by some families of Confucian classics, but in general and its influence and coverage on the world, it is not. Those Confucian families who live in the countryside and keep their doors closed can reach it.

Although there are still many people with profound classics and profound meanings in this world who regard themselves as orthodox and look down on the vast and mixed academic system of Xinshiguan, but their influence on Xinshiguan cannot be ignored.

Especially after the Xinshi Museum was transferred from Shouchun to Luoyang, and a large number of Confucian classics and classics were collected, the whole system became larger, and it seemed that the classics and righteousness had come from the source. On the contrary, those orthodox classics and righteous theories that had been passed down for a long time were gradually marginalized.And this momentum has also prompted those conservative Jingyi sects to either take the initiative or be forced to join it, otherwise they can only be abandoned by the world.

The reputation of Xinshi Museum lies in its inclusiveness and inclusiveness, but the strong rise of the Academy of Engineering has somewhat teased the bottom line of time.

The establishment of the Academy of Engineering mainly came from the earlier advocacy of the Huainan Dudufu.After the establishment of Luoyang Xingtai and the establishment of the Engineering Academy in Xishan, this kind of official push reached a new height.

First of all, in terms of management structure, General Shen Da personally served as the dean of the Academy of Engineering.And the one who manages the specific affairs is Weng Gehong, a little fairy in Danyang who is well-known in both the north and the south.

This kind of arrangement makes Shiliu somewhat unacceptable. In their view, the theory of instruments and mechanics taught by the Engineering Academy are nothing more than small skills used by ordinary people. How can they be raised to the same level as Jinglun Dao!

Although there is no lack of time to dabble in these principles, it is more of a hobby and survival need. In terms of value, I don't think these technologies can reach the level of human ethics education.

Because of the convenient method, to respond to unexpected changes, to understand the secrets of all things, to restore the principles of the three generations.The mighty power of heaven and earth transforms all things, and it is not without reason. Human beings are primates, accepting grace and accepting orders, and have the responsibility of taking things to make up for the way.Reaching in physics, making use of material power, and supplementing the ethics with strength, the heaven and earth will be in harmony, and there will never be disorder.

When Ge Hong was appointed to preside over the establishment of the Academy of Engineering in Huainan, he wrote an "Ode to Physics".

Excluding those far-fetched fairy tales, the main idea is still in line with the value taste of General Shen Da. This essay itself avoids dialectical physical value from the height of human relations, but believes that people should have insight into the world. The principle stored in all things is used as a supplement to the principles of ethics.

In other words, ethics education should be the main focus, but if there are obsessive people who cannot be enlightened by ethics education, then they need to be beaten by physical means.

Although this argument is far from the classics, it is not contrary to the truth, especially in the general environment where the barbarians are raging and the king is avoiding, it is still recognized by a considerable part of the time.Especially those low-level people who are suffering from the troubled times regard this as a kind of truth.

If all those beasts can be persuaded and influenced by the scriptures and principles alone, why do they need to rely on hundreds of thousands of kings to fight to achieve the revival of the king's industry?

The intercepted part of this prose was engraved on a stele inside the gate of Luoyang Xishan Engineering Institute, which also to a certain extent resolved Shi Liu's accusation of exceeding the standard treatment of the Engineering Institute.

In addition, the teaching of the Academy of Engineering is also very extensive, not only the theory of instruments and mechanics, but also medicine, magic, exploration, water classics, and cultivation, etc., are all included in the courses.

Of course, this kind of formal praise and criticism is just a meaningless dispute.It is far from enough to completely reverse the cognitive biases that have been formed in the world for a long time.The only truth that is universally applicable to all ages is the incentive from interests.

Thieves steal thousands of houses, ancient and modern, driven only by profit, but they have never occupied the so-called ideological high ground.

Luoyang Xingtai is really doing everything it can to tap the potential of the engineering institute's interests.The Luoyang Huashang Banquet, which has been held since the first year of Qitai, is one of the methods.

The so-called Huashang Banquet, as the name suggests, is naturally the name of a banquet, but this banquet is still secondary, and the focus is on the word "Hua Shang".

Huahua and Chinese things are appreciated for appreciation, and the treasures and Chinese things of the four directions are displayed for appreciation and praise in the north and south.For Jiangdong Shiliu, who has experienced the rise of the Shen family in Jiangbiao, this type of banquet is no stranger. Nowadays, various exotic treasures are circulated in the world, and a considerable part of them are first created by this type of banquet. flow known.

And the facts are indeed so. In the first year of Qitai, General Shen went north to Luoyang to establish Xingtai, and soon after autumn, he gathered in the South and West Mountains of Luoyang City to set up a banquet, and recommended to the North and South Shiliu the products produced in Tianzhong Shendufang. All kinds of goods are ordered and sold for these time-flow picking goods types that are interested in doing business.

Different from the goods exhibition that Jiangdong Shiliu is familiar with, in addition to the procedures in Jiangbiao in previous years, a new content has been added, that is, the introduction of the Academy of Engineering into it.The Academy of Engineering itself is not responsible for production, and what is exhibited is not commodities, but various technologies.

To be honest, the first China Appreciation Banquet was not a success. At that time, Heluo itself was still in dilapidated condition, especially Luoyang New City had only just got its framework, and even General Shen had to temporarily stay in the barracks, let alone a large number of people. Spare houses are used to settle the meeting time, and the layout of the meeting place is extremely simple.

Especially around Heluo at that time, in places north of the Yellow River and west of Tongguan, although there were many Shiliu people who were invited by Xingtai, there were very few corresponding participants.If it weren't for the Shen family's unique victory in Jiangdong, a considerable part of Jiangdong traveled thousands of miles to join him, and it might end in a lonely end.

But at this year's China Appreciation Banquet, the Luoyang Institute of Engineering announced two shocking technologies, one of which was a not-too-long book titled "The Number of Lands", and the other It is a complete set of techniques and tools for reeling and winding silk in textiles.

In short, "The Number of Land" is a book that introduces the technology of mineral vein survey. Forging the base, Jiangbei Wangshi's elite soldiers and strong weapons, including the fruitful results in reclamation, are based on this.

The prosperity of the smelting industry and the expansion of production capacity have naturally driven up the demand for raw materials, which can no longer be met only by folk collection and battlefield seizures, even with the mining of the existing ore veins in the territory.In particular, Huainan smelting and casting uses a large amount of coal as fuel, which amplifies the demand for new mineral deposits.

Therefore, in the past few years, the Huainan Governor's Mansion has also made great efforts in the exploration of mineral veins. Not only did it search ancient books to collect ancient records in this regard, but it also visited the people and summarized various exploration experiences in depth.After accumulating a large amount of theoretical and practical experience, the Academy of Engineering accepted the task of summarizing and summarizing them at the beginning of its establishment, and the final result is this "Land Number".

The many methods of ore prospecting involved in "Dishu" include not only the ancient methods of finding ore seedlings, associated growth, symbiosis, rock surface, etc. summed up by the ancients, but also the detailed methods of finding mineral veins through various plants summarized by the Huainan Dudufu. experience.

Luoyang Xingtai chose to announce it through the Academy of Engineering. Naturally, it was not to encourage private mining and casting, not to mention that finding mineral deposits is only the initial procedure of the entire smelting industry. Mineral mining, excavation, smelting, etc. require a complete set of Industrial collocation is by no means a mere book of "Land Numbers" that can be launched vigorously.

The announcement of "The Number of Lands" is closer to granting a qualification to use these merchants who travel north and south as eyes and ears to search for the treasures of mineral veins hidden in the mountains and rivers in more detail.Along with it, there is a decree of Luoyang Xingtai, that is, where there is a Shangchen mine vein, there must be a heavy reward, including the report of private mining by the people.

This is tantamount to good news for those attending the meeting. Even if there is no such task, they still have to travel around. Now just by paying attention along the way, they may get a high reward. He Le not for.

Therefore, a considerable number of people pay a deposit and choose to buy a copy of "Dishu" to carry with them as a guide.If they don't pay the deposit, even if they discover the mine information, they won't get the bounty.This is to prevent people from making false reports in greed for rewards, resulting in unnecessary consumption during the verification process.

In the following two years, Luoyang Xingtai received as many as hundreds of such reports, and it was verified that there were more than [-] locations where mines existed, most of which were between the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River, and those that could be mined and put into production immediately There are six or seven places, and dozens of dens of private mining and casting were destroyed by the way.Although tens of millions of rewards were issued for this one item, compared with the huge income, it is really insignificant.
