Chapter 418 A scientist delayed by becoming an official

Wuyou briefly introduced the book Qi Min Yao Shu.

The monarchs and ministers of various dynasties before the Southern and Northern Dynasties quickly found the book and listened to it while reading it.

I have read this book countless times before, but now I feel like I have learned something new.

The more people after the Northern and Southern Dynasties heard about it, the more they felt that they were now engaged in planting and breeding. Many of the methods were similar to those recorded in the book, and they couldn't help but respect Mr. Jia more and more.

Wuyou smiled and said: "According to records, Jia Sixie was from Yidu, Qingzhou, which later became Shouguang, Shandong. It's a coincidence. Shouguang, Shandong now is a famous vegetable planting base in my country."

As she spoke, she took out her laptop and dug out the information she had stored previously.

There is a video introducing Shouguang here, which can be opened without any worries for hundreds of millions of fans to watch.

Under the canopy, many people saw the huge vegetable greenhouses, in which various vegetables were grown.

Some they knew, some they had never even met, let alone called them by name.

"What's that red thing? It looks nice."

"What's that purple one?"

"Um, what's that long thing? It looks delicious..."

Especially people in the Qin and Han Dynasties did not recognize most of the vegetables here.

Speaking of Shouguang, Wuyou couldn't help but insert some funny things in the middle.

"Well, I think of some jokes on the Internet, which are about comparing ancient and modern place names. Our country has a history of five thousand years. It has been passed down to this day, and the names of many places have changed."

"Of course, there are places that have not changed their names, such as Handan. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to later generations, the name has never changed. However, there are also many places that have changed their names, such as Lanling. The ancient Lanling is the modern Zaozhuang, Shandong. , if you want to put it that way, King Lanling would be King Zaozhuang now, it sounds like..."

Under the curtain, many people couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

"Prince Lanling sounds better."

"What is the King of Zaozhuang? He is not majestic at all."

King Gao Changgong of Lanling, who had just won the battle, took off his mask and almost fell off his horse when he heard the words "King of Zaozhuang".

The name Lanling sounds very nice, so it's best not to change it.

"Also, when we read the Three Kingdoms, we often mention Changshan Zhao Zilong. Changshan is also an ancient place name. In modern times, it has been changed to Shijiazhuang, so General Zhao Zilong also became Shijiazhuang Zhao Zilong."

"Lu Bu, who was born in ancient Jiuyuan, is very brave. Speaking of it, Jiuyuan Lu Bu sounds good, but Jiuyuan has become Baotou now, so Lu Bu will become Baotou Lu Bu. It sounds a bit awkward."

"Also, when we were talking about Han Xin before, we said an idiom, Build plank roads openly and visit Chencang secretly. So what is the modern name of Chencang? Chencang is now called Baoji. Should this idiom be changed to Build plank roads openly and visit Baoji secretly? "

Under the canopy

Han Xin looked up at the sky and couldn't help but scolded his mother in his heart. Even though Baoji was so secretive, Chen Cang still sounded better.

"There is a line in the Pipa line about seeing off guests on the first night of the Xunyang River. This Xunyang is now called Jiujiang, which means seeing off the guests on the first night of the Jiujiang River. Well, the original sentence is more fluent."

At this point, Wuyou couldn't help laughing.

Under the canopy, many people were even more amused.

Only the few celebrities named by her were injured in the world.

After joking for a while, Wuyou continued the introduction. "Seng Yixing, an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, commonly known as Zhang Sui, was an astronomer. He was the first person in the world to discover the phenomenon of changes in the positions of stars, and created the Dayan Calendar."

"Shen Kuo, a scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, was born in Hangzhou, courtesy name Cunzhong."

"Shen Kuo was born into an official family. His grandfather Shen Zengqing was once the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, and his father and uncle were both Jinshi. Growing up in such a family, Shen Kuo was naturally required to read poetry and books. Apart from reading, Shen Kuo was a child at a young age. He traveled to various places with his father, which undoubtedly increased his knowledge."

"In the eighth year of Jiayou, that is, 1063, Shen Kuo passed the Jinshi examination and was awarded Yangzhou Manager to join the army. During the Song Shenzong period, he participated in Wang Anshi's reform. He was highly regarded by Wang Anshi and held important positions many times."

"In the ninth year of Xining, Wang Anshi's reform failed and Wang Anshi resigned as prime minister. Shen Kuo was also implicated, impeached and demoted. Later, he defended Xixia in Wu and was defeated in Yongle."

"After he retreated to Mengxi, he wrote about Mengxi."

"Shen Kuo has devoted his life to scientific research. He has made achievements in mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, water conservancy, medicine, economy, military and other fields. He is known as the most outstanding figure in the entire history of science in China. His book Mengxi Bi Tan is rich in content, embodying the culmination of scientific achievements of previous generations. It plays an important role in the history of world culture and is called a milestone in the history of Chinese science."

Under the canopy

After years of development, the Qin Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, but it has a more urgent need for talents.

The First Emperor and Fusu both looked at the sky and couldn't help but wonder, why were such great talents not born in our dynasty?

Liu Che has already realized the importance of talents.

When he heard this, he didn't even bother to drink, and said loudly to the sky: "Fairy, can you give this Shen Kuo to my court? Che will treat him as a national scholar."

Northern Song Dynasty
The ministers who were about to impeach Shen Kuo:...

How can we impeach this?

Wuyou had a smile on his face: "Shen Kuo is a natural talent for scientific research. Maybe if he does not become an official and concentrates on research, his achievements will be greater. Unfortunately, a lot of his energy has been consumed by officialdom. This He is really a scientist who was delayed by becoming an official."

"If you ask me, there is really no need for everyone to squeeze into the officialdom. Just like Shen Kuo, he did not get much fame as an official, but his scientific achievements are world-renowned. The reason why future generations know about him is that future generations will know him. I feel familiar when I mention him, and it’s also because of his scientific works.”

"Because of Shen Kuo's achievements in scientific research, in 1979, the Purple Mountain Observatory named an asteroid 1964 discovered in 2027 as Shen Kuo's star in memory of Shen Kuo."

Northern Song Dynasty
Shen Kuo, who was still young, looked at the sky.

He had just passed the Jinshi examination and had not yet been awarded an official title.

He was born into a family of officials, and he was taught from an early age that he should read poetry and books, become an official, and be an official, and he has always had this in mind.

But now he has changed his mind.

His ambitions changed.

He no longer wants to be a famous official, he wants to do things that interest him.

"Father." Shen Kuo knelt in front of Shen Zhou and said firmly: "My son's ambition has been determined. That is, as the fairy said, to be a scientist, to do scientific research, and to write books."

Just now I heard Wuyou said that in order to commemorate Shen Kuo, future generations would name a planet after Shen Kuo. Shen Zhou looked at Shen Kuo, sighed, and bent down to help him up: "Since you have made up your mind, then do it, I will support you as a father. "

After Wuyou finished speaking, Shen Kuo took a break and turned a page.

"The woman we are going to talk about next is a woman who was born in poverty and suffered many hardships since she was a child. However, she refused to accept her fate and continued to strive for self-improvement. She improved textile technology, promoted cotton cultivation, and taught people textile technology, making Songjiang area a national cotton As a center of the weaving industry, it has endured for hundreds of years, and therefore it is known as the world's clothing and quilt industry."

"She is Huang Daopo, and she is revered as the ancestor of our country's textile industry."
