"It's not recorded?" Lao Zhu frowned deeply and looked through the first pile first. For some reason, his fifth son wrote from left to right, with many word gestures, etc., and there were many mistakes and omissions. It can be said that there were many typos. Lao Zhu
Zhu could barely understand some of it.
I saw that in this pile of paper, most of them were stories, poems and songs from later generations, and occasionally some words with unknown meanings such as "Angel Meng" and "Mikami Yuya" were mixed in. Lao Zhu and the prince looked at it.
Zhu Biao was confused.
Although there are many shocking sentences in these poems and songs, Lao Zhu had no time to care about them at this time. After all, no matter how good the words and sentences are, they are just for entertainment in leisure time. How can they be compared with the major events in the world?
The second pile of paper contains many drawings and manuscripts. Among them are strange-looking things that look like firecrackers, arched stone kilns, barrel-like stoves, and some mountains, the sun, the moon, stars, etc., etc.
It's a strange looking thing. Because there are many strange symbols on it, the two of them still can't understand it.
The third pile of paper is the one with the most correct writing. It is written from right to left, and the font is also a serious thin gold script. Lao Zhu looked through it briefly, and it seemed to be a
There are still many symbols in this arithmetic science, and it is very labor-intensive to read them.
"Why didn't this old man write all these useless things on the most important piece of Ming Dynasty history!" Old Zhu threw the stack of paper on the table with a sad tone.
Zhu Biao looked at these papers over and over again. These random pages had not been bound, and Zhu Biao had not studied arithmetic in depth, so it seemed very difficult. But he knew that this book must be more important than the Ming Dynasty in the heart of his fifth brother Zhu Su.
's history is a hundred times more important.
"Dad, when my sworn brother Mu Ying and I were in the mansion, I heard my fifth brother talk about it."
“The system is to the world what running water is to a pool.”
"If the system remains unchanged forever, just like a deep pool with stagnant water, it will surely become smelly and rotten over time."
"Only by infusing living water from time to time can it remain clear forever. Therefore, what my father should seek is not a system that can last forever, but a steady stream of 'living water'."
"Could it be that we, the Chinese people, are actually weaker than the barbarians?"
"Such as slash-and-burn farming during the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, one acre of land only produced more than ten kilograms of grain. After careful study by generations of sages, the grain output was several times that of the Three Emperors' period, and the same size of land could feed more people. Therefore, the power of our Han people
The Japanese are becoming barbaric."
"Yes. That's what I think." Zhu Biao nodded. "But in fact, this answer avoids the core of the fifth brother's question: Why is it that when our Chinese nation goes to war, it is not those barbarians outside the Great Wall?
rival?"
"For example, in ancient times, people wore grass and animal skins as clothing. Then Leizu reeled silk, which is why Huaxia is different from the barbarians. Without the wisdom of our ancestors, we would all be wearing animal skins today.
"
Liu Bowen was stunned for a moment. He thought that Lao Zhu was trying to test himself. He thought that he had read hundreds of schools of thought and had his own opinions on each academic school, so he just smiled and leaned over calmly.
"Okay, well said!" Lao Zhu slammed the table and praised vigorously. "Hu people outside the Great Wall do not know etiquette and justice, and do not respect their ancestors. How can they understand the national justice? Their generation will perish as soon as they die, but our generation can
This is the principle of always standing firm."
"These generational differences are summed up, and Su Di calls it 'technology'. The advancement of technology is the most powerful weapon for civilization to deal with barbarism. I look at these manuscripts of Su Di, they are profound and mysterious, and no one can see them."
"These manuscripts... I'm afraid they are the basis for many technological developments in the future of China!"
Zhu Biao nodded, and then recounted to Lao Zhu bit by bit what "weapon generation difference" means. Then he said: "After thinking about it carefully, I felt that not only weapons, but also other matters, there is also the theory of generation difference."
"How do you answer?" Lao Zhu looked interested, straightened his body, and sat upright.
The eunuch who issued the decree left the imperial city in the heavy rain. Not long after, Lao Zhu and his son heard announcements coming from outside: "Your Majesty, Uncle Chengzhi is waiting outside the East Pavilion."
"The folk customs at that time were fierce and fierce, how can they be compared to today." Lao Zhu said.
"Since I have written it down, it must be something that Su Di thinks should not be forgotten."
"The child also answered like this." Zhu Biao said. "But the fifth brother gave a completely different point of view. Weapon generation difference."
"My child thinks that those barbarians outside the Great Wall were only trying to show off their evil for a while. Where are the Xiongnu and Wuhuan of the past now? And we, the Han people, have been passing on for hundreds of generations and have continued our inheritance. Even if there are occasional catastrophes like the sinking of China's land, there will definitely be people like my father.
People like you stand up and break away from the Han people. This is why our civilization is stronger than barbarism."
"We heard that you are a scholar of heaven and earth. I wonder if you can understand what is on these papers?"
"So at that time, the boy just kept silent. The fifth brother asked again: Why did we, the ancestors of China, have a vassal state that could drive away the barbarians and expand the territory in the past Zhou Dynasty. In the pre-Qin period, there was only one vassal state.
A strong army can frighten millions of barbarians in the north."
"Of course not." Zhu Biao shook his head. "Fifth brother once asked me a question. He said: We, the Chinese people in the Central Plains, are civilized. The Hu people outside the Great Wall are barbaric. How come we, the Chinese nation, have inherited this for thousands of years?
Great, but it still requires all the material resources of the whole country to fight against the barbarians in northern Xinjiang?"
"That makes sense!" Lao Zhu also cheered up. If we can really get the so-called "weapon generation difference" from these piles of papers, it will be worthwhile to beat Bei Yuan hard. After all, Shang Yuan will be destroyed three hundred years later.
Beiyuan, a strong neighbor, is the top priority in protecting Zuo, the Ming Dynasty.
"Just like in ancient times, carriages and horses were inconvenient. The First Emperor wrote the same text, the carriages were on the same track, they opened mountains and crossed rivers, and built galloping roads all over. Only then did we have China now connected in all directions and with many countries. This is also a generational difference, and it cannot be compared with that in ancient times."
"If we don't start with the system, how can we control the chaos that will happen hundreds of years later? Are we just seeking immortality like those foolish kings before us?"
"But these things written by Su'er...these are black and white, and they look like ghost drawings. How can anyone understand these tricks?"
Lao Zhu hurriedly announced his entry. Liu Bowen (Liu Ji, also known as Bowen) saw the ceremony and was about to ask Lao Zhu what he meant when he saw the superior, Lao Zhu, waving to him: "Mr. Liu, come closer."
"I heard that Uncle Chengyi, Liu Ji, is a scholar of heaven and man, and understands ancient and modern times. These manuscripts do not involve my future affairs, so why not invite Uncle Chengyi to come and ask him to interpret them?" Zhu Biao suggested.
"Oh?" Lao Zhu became interested. "I heard Lao Wu say in the past that no system can last forever. Although we have listened to it a little bit, but... we are still hundreds of years away from the end of the Ming Dynasty."
But just looking at the drawings on the desk for the first time almost made his eyes pop out.
"Is this... measuring a mountain with a height of 10,000 yen? Ah! Using a shengdou of water to measure the Yellow River?"
"This one is... the star-pulling technique? This one is..."
"This is a magic trick that has never been seen before in the world! Where did your Majesty know about it?"
