Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 748 Wu Meiniang's Suggestion
In any era, the word "sage" is not so easy to bear. Throughout the ages, there is only one Confucius, who is recognized as a sage. Even Mencius is only a sub-sage. Other theories, or outstanding people in the industry, are dubbed His 'holy' name, in front of both of them, is not convincing.

Because, the saint is not only a requirement for personal morality, it also needs to have the basic conditions for creating a theory that has a profound impact on human civilization and is enduring.

And this theory just appeared in this era.

Agricultural technology is a theory that solves the problem of human survival and is crucial to human beings. In this era, some people have exploded with amazing talents, and carried forward this theory, and even popularized it to the whole people. It has great impact on human beings. The far-reaching influence will even exceed the theory of Confucius and Mencius.

Because it solves the fundamental problem of the survival of all human beings. As long as people in this world still need to eat, then Sun Xiangfu's contribution cannot be obliterated.

Its audience is all human beings, not just Confucian scholar-bureaucrats of the Han nationality.

Those countries that do not practice Confucianism can still pass it on, but those countries that do not have agricultural science and technology are struggling.

Rewinding the time to two days ago, in the palace, Li Shimin, who was wearing filial piety, started to read the manuscript immediately after receiving the manuscript handed in by Li Ke.

Moreover, after seeing this, I watched it directly for more than two hours. It was not until the servant came to pass the meal three times and was waved away that Wu Meiniang's attention was attracted. After asking the servant to ask the situation here, she went to Li Yuan's coffin in person. The Changle Palace where he was located, Bishui Villa came to see the situation, and then let Li Shimin put down the manuscript in his hand.

"This is indeed Zhengming's style of writing. I have seen things in his study that were completely incomprehensible. These symbols should be like our Chinese pinyin, but they may not spell out what they mean. , I don’t know what its intention is to write these knowledge so profound and difficult.” Li Shimin said after Wu Meiniang personally invited him to have a meal first, then put down the booklet in his hand.

At this time, Li Ke, who had been waiting in the living room for four or five hours, had a chance to speak, and said, "Father, Master Sun didn't mean to make these knowledge so difficult to understand, in fact, He very much hopes that more people can learn to understand the above content.

Rather, these advanced knowledge, it may be just a deduction of Master Sun, it is like this, the younger sister said that he can understand at most [-] to [-]% of the knowledge in these manuscripts, however, if some assumptions are used to deduce, But it can explain [-]% to [-]% of the theories.

Therefore, those symbols may be a kind of marking by Master Sun on some deduction results that have not actually appeared. The younger sister knows how to read it, but it is just a way of reading and does not have any content meaning. However, he firmly believes that, Master Sun said that this is the most precious thing he has learned all his life. It must be reasonable. Master Sun firmly believes that the unknown theoretical knowledge he deduced is correct and practical. "

After hearing Li Ke's words, Wu Meiniang roughly understood what they were talking about. The thickly bound book in Li Shimin's hand was the secret biography of agriculture written by Sun Xiangfu. According to what the servant told him just now , This is still Sun Xiangfu's dowry to Sun Xiaomei.

However, ordinary people can't understand this book, and even Sun Xiaomei can only understand [-] to [-]% of it. How can Wu Meiniang be regarded as Sun Xiangfu's personal disciple, he thought that he might be able to understand it, so Said, "Your Majesty, can my servant take a look at this book?"

Li Shimin wanted to refuse, but when he thought about it, the purpose of Li Ke giving it to him was to make it public, and then he thought that Wu Meiniang was Sun Xiangfu's disciple, so he nodded.

Not long after, Wu Meiniang read the first few pages of the manuscript, closed the book again, put it back in place and said, "Your Majesty, the knowledge in this book is indeed agronomy. As for the symbols, the teacher calls them letters, which are Byzantine characters." A type of language in the empire, but the teacher added it to 26 characters, and the pronunciation is 'eh, bi, pity, low, doctor, forehead woman, chicken...'.

Individually, as early as many years ago, it was only represented by the local people, such as 'eh', which means bull head.

Therefore, for the teacher, it is just a substitute character, and it does not refer to a certain thing. When the teacher gives lectures to our core disciples of the Nongmen, he will sometimes use these symbols to represent some things that have not appeared. Things, and now, it is also used in small quantities in middle school mathematics and physics textbooks. "

Wu Meiniang explained what Li Ke said just now to Li Shimin in more detail. However, she still had her own insights, and continued, "This book, based on my daughter's previous years of study, is just a book. When I read the third page, I began to have a lot of things that I didn't understand, and I couldn't read it at all.

It can be seen that what His Highness King Wu said is true. Even Princess Wu, who has been doing various agricultural technology researches these years, can only understand [-] to [-]% of the theories, and it is even more impossible for others to understand. It is no wonder that even with the wisdom of the teacher as deep as the sea, he is unable to spread it.

However, as the teacher's disciple, I can better understand the teacher's mood at that time. Princess Wu must also understand the helplessness of the teacher's deduction of an ancient theory, but can't spread it, so she will treat it as As the dowry of Princess Wu, I hope that Princess Wu can learn it one day and spread it.

Therefore, my lady thinks, Your Majesty, you should not think too much about its meaning, because it may be difficult to understand, just like a layman reading some physics questions, you just need to know that it is an advanced crop research technology, if it can be realized , can make the crops in this world grow better.

But right now, we should use some of its characteristics to do something for our Datang. "

"Use its characteristics to do things?" Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang with some doubts, but he knew that this girl's brain had always been flexible.

"Tell me, what can you use?" Li Shimin agreed that Wu Meiniang would take over as the internal servant at the age of 19. Naturally, he knew her talent and asked directly.

"Your Majesty, if even Princess Wu can't understand it, then other people in the world can't understand it even more, and it is indeed the most profound agricultural work in the world, and it is written in Chinese characters. "

When Li Shimin heard the words 'written in Chinese characters', many ideas flashed in his mind.

Now, Persia, Tianzhu, and the entire South Asian region are about to be merged into the Tang Dynasty. In the end, only Byzantium and Dashi are left. The most fundamental reason why these two countries can persist to the end is the difference in cultural and religious beliefs.

Confucian culture basically cannot enter these two places. With the support of fanatical beliefs, interests and materials are very limited to the temptation of their common people. How to let your own culture invade these two empires? To lay the foundation for future stable rule?

Agronomy, a theory that no belief can resist, is a theory that is more able to open the cultural transmission channels of the Byzantine Empire and the Great Food Empire than Confucianism.

The reason why Confucianism was valued by ancient emperors is precisely because it can be used by the monarch in politics, and agriculture can also serve politics, and it is more practical than Confucianism.

These thoughts flashed through Li Shimin's mind for a while, and then he regained his clarity, and asked Wu Meiniang, "So, what is your suggestion?"

Wu Meiniang bent down to worship in a very formal way, "I invite you to publish this book of the teacher, and later, send Master Sun to Dashi and the Byzantine Empire to preach and spread agricultural knowledge. When the two countries open up a breakthrough in cultural propaganda, it will be a matter of course for the teacher who preaches the world, teaches without distinction, and benefits the people of the world, to be conferred with holy honor."

Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Shimin's eyes narrowed sharply. He never thought that Wu Meiniang would cheat his master so much. You must know that the Great Tang merged all the small kingdoms in Central Asia and parts of West Asia, and joined Dashi and After the Byzantine Empire fully bordered, the hostile situation of the three countries has formed.

At this time, the other two countries are already adopting various means to protect themselves, or making some strategic adjustments, and did not start fighting directly. It is because Datang's food is always good-looking, so they have no excuse to send troops. Of course, it is also because they are very awed now. , rely on Datang.

Therefore, the three major empires are considered to be in a cold war period, and under the circumstances that both countries are trying their best to exclude Datang, it is a very challenging job to go to these two countries. Safety is worrying.

If Li Shimin were the ruler of the Byzantine Empire or the Dashi Empire, he would definitely control Sun Xiangfu immediately and squeeze his talents.

However, in his heart, he is more supportive of Wu Meiniang's suggestion, because the standard of being a saint is too high, and it needs a suitable opportunity to promote it. Only by being recognized by the whole people can he maintain his holy name for a long time, and Sun Xiangfu has become a saint. Li Shimin himself is able to dream of the Holy Emperor.

However, he did not announce on the spot that he would follow Wu Meiniang's suggestion, but asked her to step down first, leaving Li Ke to chat privately in the villa.

"As Zhengming said, this woman has the talent of a prime minister. However, she has too much utilitarianism. In order to show her political talents, she violated the law that internal officials are not allowed to interfere in politics without the slightest hesitation. She also sacrificed her teacher's personal safety. Ignoring it is a poisonous heart. Ke'er, when you assist Chengqian in the future, you must be careful and guard against her." After Wu Meiniang left, Li Shimin was silent for a moment.

"Remember, my son, but perhaps the Martial Supervisor is too young, has radical thoughts, speaks out loud, and didn't consider so many court rules, so he spoke to the emperor. Please don't take it to heart, just as an internal official, Even if she speaks out and discusses the state affairs, she is only helping the imperial court to make suggestions, and cannot hold real power, and her talent, as Master Sun said, can be put to great use."

Wu Meiniang is a disciple of Sun Xiangfu, and she is naturally close to Li Ke, Sun Xiangfu's apprentice and brother-in-law. Although he also felt that Wu Meiniang's performance was a bit too much, he still said a few good things for her. In other words, you can change your mind later.

However, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "It's better for you to be more vigilant, but her suggestion is really good. Later, when the itinerary of Zhengming's Xuanfu Liudu is almost the same, you can write a booklet! "

Hearing this, Li Ke was a little stunned and said, "I obey."
