"Children of the Gan family and the Shi family!" Master Ban explained.
"Gan family? Shi family?" Jin Yao was stunned, not sure which Gan family or Shi family belonged to the Gan family.
"Gong Gande of Qi State wrote eight chapters of "Astronomical Astrology" and "Sui Xing Jing"; Shi Shen and Shi Shenfu of Wei State wrote eight chapters of "Astronomy". Because they all studied astrology and astronomy, so
We are collectively called astronomers, and their works are also collectively called "Gan Shi Star Scripture"." Master Ban knew that Jin Yao didn't know much about astronomers.
After all, if it hadn't suddenly appeared this time, they would have suspected that the astronomer's inheritance had been cut off.
"I've seen Mr. Long!" Seeing Jin Yao approaching, the young men's fathers also hurriedly saluted.
Jin Yao looked at these adults. Their clothes were simple and even had many patches. Although they had noble titles, it was conceivable that their situation was not very good.
"I have met you!" Jin Yao did not dislike the simplicity of the other party and saluted solemnly.
"Aren't you afraid that the Astronomer family will be swallowed up by the Mo family when you send the disciples from your clan?" Jin Yao asked, looking at the elders of the Astronomer family.
"Alas~" The old man headed by him sighed.
"Inheritance and inheritance are called inheritance only if they can be passed down. The astronomers are now unable to reveal the blame. If you are still worried about this, then there is no need for the Mohist family to annex the astronomers and the astronomers will cease to exist."
"Even if it is annexed by the Mohist family, it will still allow Gan Shi's lineage of theoretical scriptures to be passed down in the end. Even if it changes the name of the school, what's the point?"
Jin Yao trembled after listening to the old man's words and bowed again.
This is the first time he has seen a school of thought willing to make wedding clothes for others, just to pass on the scholarship.
Many schools have sectarian opinions and would rather cut off the inheritance than be absorbed by other schools. In the end, the inheritance that was supposed to let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend disappear without a trace, and not even a name appears in history.
Can't afford any splash.
"The Tianwen lineage will not be cut off, and the Ganshi lineage will not be cut off either!" Jin Yao looked at the old man's serious promise.
When the elders of the Gan and Shi families heard Jin Yao's words, their expressions did not change much. In other words, they had already acquiesced in the fact that they would be annexed by the Mo family before coming. No matter how much Jin Yao explained and promised, the result was not
It won't change much.
"Is the Mohist family willing to include "Gan Shi Xing Jing"?" The old man looked at Jin Yao and asked again.
"Are you willing to hand over the "Gan Shi Xing Jing" to the Mo family?" Jin Yao was even more shocked.
This is tantamount to handing over the essence of astronomers to the Mohists and completely integrating the astronomers into the Mohists.
"The debate chief has also seen that we no longer have the ability to protect them!" The old man shook his head. If possible, who would be willing to hand over to others the fruits of generations of hard work inherited from their ancestors?
But if it is not handed over to the Mohist family, they will no longer have the ability to innovate, and their children will no longer be willing to learn these visible but intangible academics, and at the same time they will not be able to transform them into academics that support their family in Hukou.
It is simply difficult to convert the study of astrology and astronomy into actual money, and it is impossible to live without money.
Although they are nobles, the consumption of several generations can no longer support the study of astrology and astronomy.
The most important thing is that their theory cannot be converted into money. Similarly, unlike other schools of thought that can be used to govern the country, their theory cannot be turned into a theory of governing the country and the people.
Therefore, they also cannot get the support of the court. If they want to become officials, dogs will shake their heads.
Therefore, their faction has become an alternative among hundreds of schools, the Goubuli above the court.
"Master Ban, have you seen it?" Jin Yao felt sad in his heart, how similar the Tianwen lineage was to the Mo Bian lineage.
The only difference is that the Mo Bian lineage can occasionally see output and can be converted into money, but the Tianwen lineage has a difficult time, and it is almost impossible to think of ways to make money with them.
Master Ban saw the miserable situation of the Tianwen lineage, and finally understood Jin Yao's thoughts. If he really stopped it, I am afraid that the Tianwen lineage would be a lesson to the Mobian lineage in the near future.
"Our lineage studies astronomy and stars, so we can be called the first among hundreds of schools in arithmetic and arithmetic!" the old man said confidently, hoping that Jin Yao could bring their children into Mobian Mountain.
Jin Yao nodded. If those who study astronomy and stars don't know mathematics, then there will be a real problem. No wonder these children can solve Chao Gang's questions.
"The arithmetic of the Mo Bian lineage is not bad, and may even exceed your imagination. However, I, the Mo Bian lineage, never stop the direction of my disciples' research. If they are willing to continue to study stars and astronomy in the future, I will not stop them." Jin Yao
said.
In Mo Bian's lineage, arithmetic is the foundation among the foundations, and then they will teach mechanics and martial arts, so if these disciples are willing to study astronomy and stars, it is not a bad idea.
"Forget it, as hundreds of schools of thought say, astronomy has been poor for three generations, and astrology has ruined lives. We are already poor and afraid, and we can't let our children follow in our footsteps!" The old man sighed and shook his head.
Jin Yao also fell silent. When the elders of a school of thought advise future generations not to touch him, then this lineage has really come to an end.
"Actually, it's not impossible to make money from astronomy and astrology!" Jin Yao suddenly said.
"How to make money?" The old man sighed and shook his head in despair.
If astronomy and astrology can make money, why would they do this?
"Make a calendar, a twenty-four-hour calendar for each year!" Jin Yao said seriously.
The Chinese calendar is different from the Western calendar. It does not start from the birth date of a certain god. There is no scientific basis.
The Chinese calendar has always changed based on astronomical phenomena, which marks the twenty-four solar terms, which play a vital role in farmers' farming.
When to sow, when to remove insects, when to fertilize, and when to harvest can all be guided by the calendar.
This is very important in agricultural civilization. Once there is a major error in the calendar, the consequences are unimaginable.
Therefore, when the Zhou Dynasty was still there, all countries used the Zhou Dynasty's calendar to make peace for the people and farmers.
It's just that the Zhou Dynasty's calendar has not been updated for a long time, and there is no ability or dedicated personnel to update it.
The current Qin State is also waiting for things to be done, and it has not paid attention to the formulation of the calendar for a while, but it is inevitable to revise the calendar. When the time comes, an organization for observing the stars and astronomy and formulating the calendar will definitely be established.
"Make a calendar?" The old man was stunned. Will Qin use them to make a calendar?
Taoist Taiyi Mountain is within the territory of Qin State, so it is impossible for their astronomers to turn to it.
"Why not wait a few years? The Qin State will definitely rebuild the observatory. Then you will naturally be the first choice!" Jin Yao said seriously.
It is impossible for talents to be buried, especially in emerging empires that are extremely short of talents, and they will not let go of any talents.
