Chapter 481

"Seriously!" Wang Anshi's eyes turned red. Being able to witness the real historical materials of the three generations with his own eyes was such a temptation for a Confucian scholar!

"Kaifeng is not far from Xiangzhou. It takes a short time to get back and forth. Jiefu will find out if he sends someone to find it." Shen Long said, it is only a few hundred miles from Xiangzhou to Kaifeng.

"Father, I will handle this matter personally." Wang Yu immediately asked for orders. If such a big thing could be entrusted to others with confidence, he had to go there himself. If Wang Anshi's status was not high, he would not even want to go.

"When you go there, look for apothecary. It was in the apothecary that these tortoise shells were discovered in later generations. Hundreds of years later, an imperial minister named Wang Yirong saw that there seemed to be words on a medicinal material called dragon bone, so he studied it with great concentration. Just now Let the oracle bone inscriptions reappear in the world; maybe this medicine is also available in medicine shops in Xiangzhou now." Shen Long reminded.

"Such rare treasures are actually used as medicine. It is a waste of resources." Upon hearing this, Wang Yu wished he could grow wings from his ribs and fly to Xiangzhou immediately.

"It's already late today. It's not too late for Yuan Ze to leave tomorrow morning. Just wait until these words can be interpreted. Don't get too excited." The Confucian rule of the Three Generations is just like Plato's Utopia, both imagined by philosophers. The ideal state form, if they see the true side of the Yin Shang Dynasty, their belief may collapse.

Wang Anshi felt that the stimulation he had received today was a bit too much, so he simply suffered a little more. So after telling Wang Yu to prepare for tomorrow's trip, he asked again, "From what the Taoist said, later generations' doctrines are quite similar to Confucianism." Different? I don’t know what kind of knowledge it is?”

"It is indeed very different. Let's use the circle just now as an example!" The picture returned to the circle again, but this time an arrow appeared in the middle of the circle, pointing straight from the center to the edge of the circle. The arrow gradually grew and slowly touched the edge of the circle. , and then a small bump was pushed out on the edge.

"Confucianism believes that the circle drawn by the sage is insurmountable, and one can only make fuss within the circle; but later generations of theories believe that inside the circle is known knowledge, and outside the circle is unknown knowledge. The more you understand, the more unknown knowledge you can The more there are, some people will be like this arrow, finally breaking through the unknown and gaining more knowledge throughout their lives."

The picture changed again, with countless arrows pointing from the center of the circle to all directions, constantly pushing out small bumps on the edge of the circle, and the circle soon became larger. "The sand gathered into a tower, and the water dripped through the rocks. If there are more people like this, the knowledge they have will be reduced." More and more."

"Just like the rice and wheat I showed Jiefu just now, these were not achieved in a day. Someone first increased the rice production from three to four to five to five, and then his successor increased it from five to six. , seven stones... I kept going back and forth like this, and I finally achieved the achievement of two thousand kilograms per mu."

"This is how the cakes get bigger and bigger, and the world can support more and more people. Thousands of years later, it is almost rare to hear people dying of cold and hunger in the Central Plains. I'm afraid it won't be possible in three generations, right?" Although It is said that there were many problems in the era when Shen Long came, but filling his stomach was not a problem. This was something that the Song Dynasty would not even dare to think about.

"If everyone has food and clothing, this is a prosperous age." After hearing this, Wang Anshi's heart was filled with excitement. The highest ideal he pursued was to have everyone in the Song Dynasty have food and clothing, and not be bullied by the Khitans and Dangxiang. But this Countless wise men throughout the ages have failed to do this kind of thing, and he doesn't have much confidence.

At most, Young Master Song could starve to death and freeze to death. Now that I heard that someone actually achieved all of this, and thinking about what Shen Long just said, there was a slight wavering in my heart.

"Okay, I've talked a lot today, so let's stop here! Jiefu goes back and thinks about this slowly. As for the seeds he just mentioned, Jiefu can ask someone to sort out a few pieces of land first, and then I will help plant them. "Come on." Shen Long stopped here. What he said today was enough for Wang Anshi to digest for a while. If he said more, it would have no effect. He was a little dazed just now, and today's goal has been achieved.

When Wang Anshi first came in, he just wanted Shen Long to help him give him advice on how to formulate better strategies to suppress Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and other old parties and carry out his new deal. Unexpectedly, Shen Long After giving him such an answer, he was so shocked that he really didn't know how to deal with it.

Shen Long has also been an official and managed tens of millions of people. He knows how difficult it is to get along in the officialdom, let alone achieve great results. Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo are all talented people, and he wants to compete with them. Playing tricks in the court is absolutely thankless.

This is like arguing with Shabi on the Internet. Shabi can always bring your IQ to the same level as him, and then use his rich experience to defeat you, and then go to court to play political battles with Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo. It is simply the same. .

Since Shen Long understands the direction of historical development and has such rich resources, why should he do this kind of thing again? Can he find another way and handle it in a better way?

"After hearing this today, I feel a little confused!" Wang Anshi told the truth, "The carriages and horses are ready. Yuanze will go to Xiangzhou early tomorrow morning. As for the farmland, I will also ask the housekeeper to buy some nearby and wait tomorrow. When the Taoist priest woke up, I asked him to come over and ask for advice on what kind of land is best to buy."

Land prices around Kaifeng are high, and most landowners are unwilling to sell, but it depends on who wants to buy it. If someone from Wang Anshi's family comes forward, I believe most people will be willing to sell it to save face.

"I will take some time to think about what the Taoist Master said today. If you have any questions, I hope that the Taoist Master will give you some advice." Wang Anshi added.

"You're welcome, Jiefu, that's what it's meant to be. I'm going to build a small courtyard outside Kaifeng City and move my house there. Then Jiefu can go and read the books on the other wall in the study. "Shen Long said.

One wall of his study room is lined with works on liberal arts such as Classics and History, and the other side is lined with works on physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy and other sciences. I wonder what Wang Anshi's reaction would be after reading these.

"But I didn't treat you well?" Otherwise, why would you leave if you were living well? Wang Anshi was a little worried.

"There are a lot of people talking in the city, but there are a lot of things in my room that are not convenient for people to see. I think Jiefu can understand, right?" Shen Long comforted him with a smile, "It will be quieter outside the city, oh, then Let Yuanze come with me and live there for a while!"
