In this era, most people cannot write their names and can only sign with their fingerprints. Do you believe it?! As long as you can figure out addition and subtraction, you will have a golden job for life. Do you believe it?!
Therefore, the vast majority of time travelers do not have to worry at all in this era. As long as their diploma is above kindergarten, they can find a job as a bookkeeper and have enough to eat and drink. If you are a very high-end person with an elementary school education, congratulations, you will become a member of a major family.
There is competition to attract talents; if you have gone to college or are a science and engineering student, then... you have to pay attention to your personal safety.
The people of the Tang Dynasty also knew the importance of talents. Who can not be jealous of someone who can burn glass, understand trigonometric functions, know how to make a steam engine, and know how to make steel? But don't think that you can just wait for a price, and high-paying positions can be easily obtained.
An outstanding talent can make a family prosperous, amass a large amount of wealth, and even lead to qualitative changes through quantitative changes. They have the ability to compete in the world and aspire to the Central Plains! What would those families who don't get you think about it?
That's right, just like all the mistresses secretly shout in their hearts - if I can't get you, I will destroy you!
If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them; if they are piled up on the shore, the current will be turbulent; if you walk higher than others, the crowd will reject them!
This is an iron rule, applicable everywhere.
Therefore, if you don't have an awesome father like Fang Jun, the more talented you are, the more you have to be low-key and hide your clumsiness.
It is for this reason that Yu Ming is very confused...
Even though the Yuming clan has an incredible history and mighty abilities, in the final analysis they are just hidden among the people. If you hide away and study the ways of heaven without caring about the world, everyone will treat you as if you don't exist; but if you show up,
If you come, you will inevitably become the target of wooing by all parties. If you fail to woo you, they will try their best to destroy you...
For Yu Ming who had no interest in worldly affairs and only wanted to ascend to heaven, such trouble was really unnecessary.
However, some of the knowledge that Fang Jun occasionally revealed was far beyond the times, which Yu Ming desperately wanted to obtain. Understanding the truth of this world, seeing through the limits of this world, and mastering the laws of this world were considered by Yu Ming.
It is the method closest to the way of heaven, how could you not be tempted?
Fang Jun was not worried that Yu Ming would refuse.
The so-called rejection is just that the price did not reach the ideal state...
Fang Jun stood up again, took out a book from the box under the bed, and placed it in front of Yu Mingshi.
Yu Ming looked at the cover - "Geometry"...
"This book describes in detail a variety of land measurement methods, and summarizes them to draw some insights. Not only can the land be measured, but theoretically all measurable things can be measured. This book has just been compiled not long ago, and it may still be available.
There are many things that are wrong, and I hope I can correct them."
To rectify things... this is all what Fang Jun learned in school. Even if there are some points that are controversial in later generations, they are definitely not something that people from the Tang Dynasty could "rectify". There is no doubt that this "Geometry" is of great significance to
To the people of the Tang Dynasty, it was the Book of Heaven, and neither word nor symbol could be changed.
Taking out this book is to lure Yu Ming into the "hub"...
The more a scholar like Yu Ming is a "student master", the more he likes to get into trouble, otherwise he would not have learned all the knowledge in the world and started to think about ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal...
Yu Ming opened the book and looked confused.
"Master Hou, what kind of writing are these crooked characters? How to interpret them?"
These days, Arabic numerals are a niche within a niche for people in the Tang Dynasty. It’s not surprising that they don’t know them, but it’s strange to know them.
Fang Jun slapped his forehead, turned over and took out a book from the box under the bed.
Mr. Yu Ming's old eyes were shining, and he stared at the box fiercely, wishing to grab it in his hands so that he could see how many things there were that shocked the world...
He handed a book of "Mathematics" to Yu Ming: "That kind of character was accidentally learned by me from a big food businessman. Its meaning is the same as the numbers one, two, three and four. It is just used to represent numbers. This book
It is also compiled by this prince, and it describes the application of this number in detail, so I can also read it."
Yu Mingshi was really shocked!
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Uncle Sun Bao, a senior official in the State of Lu, called "establishing virtue", "establishing merit" and "establishing words" as the "three immortals".
What does it mean to never stop?
Those who preserve their surnames and accept their surnames, in order to protect their ancestral lineage, will continue to offer sacrifices to the world, and who have no country and no one, and who have a great salary, can be said to be immortal!
If you can do one of these three things, you will be famous in future generations and your family will be prosperous.
This prince has already accomplished what many great scholars in the world have been striving for before he was even a young man?
"I just don't know what these two books are about, and whether they have any real insights. I need to study them carefully after I go back." Yu Ming said.
"This is natural. I can take the book back and read it first. If I agree with the insights in the book, I will send my clansmen to help me. If I think it is just a common thing with no use, then I will treat it as if I have nothing to say today.
Said. However, I would like to remind my father-in-law that this book is only an elementary version and is written for beginners."
Fang Jun pointed to his head proudly: "If I am interested, you may wish to come and chat with me often. I will prepare delicious food and wine, have a long talk with my husband, and summarize the art of iron and forging."
, to entertain distinguished guests.”
Yu Ming was a little surprised: "Your Majesty is not afraid that the old man will take away this book. He has mastered the art of smelting iron and forging, but he goes back on his word?"
Fang Jun looked determined: "If Mr. Yu Ming is really so short-sighted, I will be considered blind."
Yu Ming's old face is slightly dark, this little thief's tongue is too poisonous!
Then he stood up and said: "This is a big matter. Regarding the tradition of my Yuming clan's escaping from the world for thousands of years, the whole family needs to discuss it before we can make a decision. I have taken these two books away. If I can't agree to the request of the Marquis, I can't make a decision."
I will definitely not receive the teachings in vain, but I will definitely be rewarded..."
Speaking of this, I also thought that the things I could get were not very popular with the Marquis, so how could I repay him?
Fang Jun waved his hands and said grandly: "The art of craftsmanship lies in communication. I have never heard of anyone who works behind closed doors to achieve great achievements. Even if I take these two books, I will hand them over regardless of whether my request is successful or not.
This old man is my friend who has been with me for many years. No matter when and where he is, I will be waiting for him on the bed. Of course, if my father can do me a small favor, these two books will be regarded as a thank you gift, and there is no need to bear it in mind."
Mr. Yu Ming deeply agrees with Fang Jun's first part. The family possesses the most noble knowledge in the world. Isn't it because they are separated from production and life and work behind closed doors so that it is difficult to make any progress?
However, regarding the second half of Fang Jun's sentence, Yu Ming wondered: "The Marquis is of high rank and well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. Why do you need my help?"
"I heard from the guards that I have the technique of shrinking the ground to an inch?"
Yu Ming laughed and said: "Where is there any way to shrink the earth to an inch? All things in the world have their own laws. When people live in the world, they are subject to all the shackles and cannot escape from the cage for a moment. They are just some techniques of self-cultivation and physical exercise. Footsteps
Just a little lighter."
"Even so, I have a merciless request..." Fang Jun whispered a few words.
Yu Ming's eyes suddenly widened and he said angrily: "I have cultivated my moral character and devoted myself to studying the way of heaven. How could I do such a thing to deceive the world and steal my reputation? I will never mention it again, otherwise I would rather not have these two books and have nothing to do with each other from now on.
!”
Fang Jun was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect the old man to have a bad temper...
"Even so, I wonder if there are any descendants in my father-in-law's family who have practiced such a physical training technique? My father-in-law refuses to come forward, so it is not a bad idea to send a junior. I am dedicated to serving the public and caring for the common people, but I was abused by a shameless person.
Dirty water, now that my reputation has been completely ruined and my reputation has been completely ruined, how can I bear to bear this infamy, live in panic, and suffer all the grievances?"
"This... it's just this one time, it won't happen in the future! I, Yu Ming, are the servants of God, how can I fool the world by doing such a rogue thing? I feel very frightened..."
Fang Jun smiled like a fox who had stolen a chicken: "My father-in-law said this wrongly. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: Until hell is empty, I will never become a Buddha! What kind of majestic mind is that? Since Yu Ming is a god
The waiter should naturally take this revenge."
Buddhism was extremely prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, Yuming knew what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said to the Buddha. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master Hou is not old, but the ability to coax people is probably innate to the Buddha.
Even the old man doesn’t know how to refuse.”
"Cooperation will benefit both sides, so why refuse? I wish us happy cooperation."
"Whether we want to cooperate or not, I still need to discuss it with my clan members. I'll take my leave today and see you again if we have the chance."
Yu Mingshi looked calm, held two books in his hands, bowed slightly, and pushed out the door.
