If Chen Mu wants to teach students, of course he won't teach dragon slaying skills.

If you want to teach, you don’t have the conditions.

The only things he can teach are primary school mathematics and primary school nature and biology classes.

As for junior high school physics and junior high school chemistry, it’s not that they can’t teach them, but that you can’t prove your theories to students.

If you go to tell them about the periodic table of elements, first you have to prove to them the existence of elements in nature.

In the experimental part, there are no beakers, measuring cylinders, test tubes, alcohol lamps, and even the simplest identification of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, which is the first experiment of junior high school chemistry, you can't prove that lime water turns turbid.

Junior high school physics involves mechanics, optics, resistance, electrical energy, pressure, etc. Chen Mu can only teach the lever theorem at most, because he cannot teach the formula to the students.

Therefore, these things do not mean that knowledge is in the brain and can be taught if you want. He alone cannot complete the scientific revolution at all.

Otherwise, if modern physics and modern chemistry, which were only gradually completed from the 15th or 16th century to the 21st century, could be promoted and popularized by one person, it would be too cheap.

If the industrial level cannot be improved, no matter how much theoretical knowledge there is, it will be meaningless.

What Chen Mu has to do now is just to plant a seed. He hopes that in a few decades or hundreds of years, he can catch up with the progress that humans can complete in four to five hundred years.

With Chen Mu's strong support, sheets of brand new white paper were freshly baked from the Linzi papermaking workshop, and were quickly sent to the small printing workshop, where the Confucian classics that had been carved by craftsmen were printed into volumes of books.

When standing in the small workshop and looking at the newly released volumes of "The Analects", "Spring and Autumn", "The Classic of Filial Piety", "Shang Shu", "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Changes" and "The Book of Rites" that smelled of ink, Chen Mu smiled.

stand up.

This is not the smell of ink, this is the smell of knowledge.

Why was knowledge monopolized by aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty?

Because it is not easy for ordinary people to study.

It would take a long time to carve any of the Seven Classics of Confucianism on bamboo slips.

Moreover, the preservation of bamboo slips is also a problem. Moisture, insect infestation, and rot will all cause gaps in knowledge.

The books that Chen Mu used to engrave and print were the same books that he asked the emperor to bring out from the Hongdu Hall after learning from the Hongdu Clan.

If an ordinary family had any of these complete sets, they would probably immediately be regarded as family heirlooms, kept for generations to come, and become classics.

Nowadays, with books, the inheritance of knowledge is no longer a problem. The threshold for reading has been lowered. In the future, the so-called aristocratic families may no longer exist.

"Liangbi."

Chen Mu called Dian Wei.

Dian Wei leaned over and whispered: "Zi Gui."

"Let's go out."

"Where to go?"

"North Sea Country."

"North Sea?"

Dian Wei was surprised and said: "That's not..."

Chen Mu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we can just take a few people and ride over there."

"All right."

Dian Wei stopped saying "wei", and now started to follow Chen Mu's example.

After leaving the printing workshop, I looked at the guards on the left and right, walked to a restaurant across the street from the workshop, and hooked up with the spy from the Military Intelligence Department who was the shopkeeper.

"Si Ming."

The shopkeeper pretended to greet the guests with a flattering smile on his face.

In fact, before he was absorbed by the Military Intelligence Department, he was an ordinary merchant. He was very familiar with greeting customers from all over the world, so no one would notice anything about him.

Chen Mu asked him to prepare some dry food. After the shopkeeper delivered it, he took out the money and whispered: "Take good care of this yard. The craftsmen inside are not allowed to come out, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Don't let anyone know.

Already."

"only."

The shopkeeper took the money and kept the order in mind.

After getting the dry food, Chen Mu came out of the restaurant, mounted his horse, and took Dian Wei to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wu Kuang lived a very comfortable life these days. After all, he didn't have to deal with any government affairs and could just enjoy himself every day. Although he felt a little unwilling, his enterprising spirit was much less as he got older. Anyway, as long as there was no trouble in Qi State, he, the Prime Minister,

At least he can be competent.

When he heard the news of Chen Mu's visit, Wu Kuang took the initiative to go out to greet him. He was not a bad person. Now that he saw that Chen Mu had managed the Qi State in an orderly manner, he also admired how heroes come from youth, so he naturally did not want to make enemies.

After all, others are young and I am old. There is still room for advancement in the future. If I offend you to death, and I die of old age and illness in a few years, what will happen to my relatives?

"The governor."

"Prime Minister."

The two met and Wu Kuang invited Chen Mu to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After arriving in the hall and sitting down in rows, Chen Mu didn't talk nonsense and said bluntly: "Sir, I came here this time to ask for a letter from you."

"letter?"

Wu Kuang asked in confusion: "Who is the letter to?"

"The great Confucian scholar Kang Chenggong."

Chen Mu explained: "I plan to open an academy in Taishan to give lectures. Now the most famous scholar in the country, Kang Chenggong, lives in seclusion in his hometown in Gaomi. Kang Chenggong's reputation is well known all over the world. Even the Yellow Turban bandits dare not harm him. If he can

If you please touch this old man, great things will happen."

Wu Kuang was surprised and said: "I didn't expect the governor to have such ambitions. To be honest, Kang Chenggong and I are old acquaintances. I had invited him to come to Qi before, but he just wanted to live in seclusion at home. If the governor had

With this in mind, I will write immediately."

"Thank you, sir."

Chen Mu cupped his hands and thanked him.

The reason why Wu Kuang was asked to send out the invitation was because Wu Kuang was also a famous person.

In the Han Dynasty, famous scholars were called celebrities, and those who were respected and studied the classics were called great Confucians.

After Ma Rong's death, very few people are now qualified to be called great Confucians.

Chen Mu was lucky. There happened to be several great scholars in Qingzhou, the most famous of whom was Zheng Xuan.

As a junior student, Chen Mu was not sure that he could invite Zheng Xuan, because Zheng Xuan was a person who even General He Jin refused to conquer, so he could only ask Wu Kuang for help to see if he could give him some face.

certainly.

In order to invite Zheng Xuan, Chen Mu also made two preparations.

The first step, of course, is to take out the book, be moved by emotion, and learn by reason.

Second hand...

He didn't want to leave empty-handed anyway.

After getting the invitation letter from Wu Kuang, Chen Mu prepared his horses and set off for Beihai.

In March, the sun shines brightly.

The vast fields outside the city are full of people cultivating them.

Now that the state of Qi is in ruins and waiting for prosperity, Chen Mu eliminated a large number of powerful clan thieves. Firstly, he collected the fields and distributed them to the people. Secondly, he identified hidden households and liberated the labor force.

Moreover, there was no psychological burden or pressure from public opinion at all, because during the Yellow Turban Rebellion two years ago, a large number of powerful clan thieves who disobeyed the king's orders were born across the country. These people were no longer considered subjects of the Han Dynasty in legal terms.

For example, when Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang raised an army to attack Dong, they killed a group of soldiers in order to get money to recruit soldiers and make weapons; Liu Biao went to Jingzhou and killed a group of people; and Liu Yan went to Yizhou and killed more than a dozen of them.

Attacking powerful sect thieves is not even considered as hurting innocent people, but is considered as suppressing bandits and eradicating those who disobey the king.

There was no other way. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, money was concentrated in the hands of big landowners. If local warlords were short of money, of course they would cause trouble for them.

This is the so-called big eater.

More than ten riders galloped out of the city and headed toward Beihai State, southeast of Qi State.

The road along the way is relatively flat. People from Shandong should know that the Shandong Peninsula is an area of ​​plains and hills. There are no big mountains or particularly steep terrain. Going south after leaving Linzi City, there are several rural pavilions.

The hills on both sides are not densely wooded, and the rolling hillsides are continuous. The hillsides are covered with green vegetation and covered with trees and weeds. The breeze blows slowly, and the morning sun is as warm as spring.

At this moment, an obstacle suddenly appeared on the road ahead, and two big trees fell in the middle of the road.

Chen Mudi's horse stopped and the road was blocked. Unless the big tree was moved away, the horses could not pass at all.

"Be careful, there is an ambush."

Chen Mu whispered.

Dian Wei looked around. There were thick leaves on both sides and no one could be seen. He asked warily: "Is there a thief?"

"Um."

Chen Mu nodded: "The gap in the big tree is extremely smooth. It is not a natural break. Someone deliberately cut down two trees and threw them in the middle of the road."
