Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty First Find Another Way

"That's true!" Wang Anshi's eyes were red. What a temptation it is for a Confucian to witness the real historical materials of the Three Dynasties with his own eyes!

"Kaifeng is not far from Xiangzhou, and you can go back and forth in a few days. Jiefu will send someone to look for it." Shen Long said, Xiangzhou is only a few hundred miles away from Kaifeng.

"Father, I will handle this matter myself." Wang Yu asked for orders immediately. If such a big matter can be entrusted to others, he must go there himself. If Wang Anshi's status was not high, he might even want to go.

"When you go, look for more medicine shops. These tortoise shells were found in the medicine shops in later generations. Hundreds of years later, a Guozijian Jijiu named Wang Yirong saw that there seemed to be words on the medicine called keel, so he devoted himself to research. Just now Let the oracle bone inscriptions reappear in the world; maybe the drugstores in Xiangzhou now have this medicine." Shen Long reminded.

"Such rare treasures are used as medicine. It's a waste of money." Hearing this, Wang Yu wished he had wings and flew to Xiangzhou immediately.

"It's too late today, Yuan Ze will leave tomorrow morning, just wait for these words to be deciphered, don't get too excited." Confucianism's rule of three generations is just like Plato's utopia, it is all imagined by philosophers In the ideal state, if they see the real side of Yin Shang, they might lose their faith.

Wang Anshi felt that the stimulation he received today was a bit too much, so he might as well take a little more, so after instructing Wang Yu to prepare for the trip tomorrow, he asked again, "Listening to the meaning of the Taoist priest, the theory of later generations is quite similar to Confucianism. Different? What kind of learning is it if you don’t know?”

"It's really different, let's use the circle just now as an example!" The screen returns to that circle again, but this time an arrow appears in the middle of the circle, pointing from the center of the circle to the edge of the circle, and the arrow gradually grows and slowly touches the edge of the circle , and then a small bump was made on the edge.

"Confucianism believes that the circle drawn by the sage is insurmountable, and can only make a fuss within the circle; the theory of later generations believes that inside the circle is known knowledge, and outside the circle is unknown knowledge. The more you know, the more unknown knowledge will be. The more people, like this arrow, have finally broken through the unknown and gained more knowledge throughout their lives."

The picture changed again, with countless arrows pointing in all directions from the center of the circle, and small protrusions were continuously protruding from the edge of the circle, and the circle became bigger after a while, "Gathering sand into a tower, water dripping through stone, and more people like this, the knowledge they have mastered more and more."

"It's like the rice and wheat I showed Jiefu just now. These are not achieved in a day. Someone first increased the rice production from three shi to four or five shi, and his successor raised it from five to six shi. , seven stones... and so on and on, just now we have achieved the achievement of 2,000 catties per mu."

"This is how the cake grows bigger and bigger, and the number of people in the world who can support it will also increase.

Thousands of years later, in the Central Plains, it is rare to hear that people died of freezing and starvation. I am afraid that it will not be possible in three generations, right? "Although there are still various problems in the era that Shen Long came from, it is still not a problem to fill his stomach. This is something that Da Song can't even think about.

"Everyone has food and clothing, this is a prosperous age." Hearing this, Wang Anshi's heart was full of waves. The highest ideal he pursued was to let everyone in the Song Dynasty have food and clothing, and not be bullied by Khitan and Dangxiang. Countless sages in the past dynasties have not done this kind of thing, and he doesn't have much confidence.

At most, Da Song Shao would starve to death or freeze some people to death. Now that he heard that someone had really achieved all this, and thinking of what Shen Long said just now, a slight shake appeared in his heart.

"Okay, I've talked a lot today, so let's stop here! Jiefu will go back and think about it slowly. As for the seeds mentioned just now, Jiefu can ask someone to sort out a few plots of land first, and I will help plant them at that time." Go." Shen Long stopped here, and what he said today was enough for Wang Anshi to digest for a while, and it would be useless to say more, just seeing him in a daze, today's goal has been achieved.

When Wang Anshi first came in, he just wanted Shen Long to help him with ideas, to see how to formulate a better strategy, suppress Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and other old parties, and carry out his new policy. Unexpectedly, Shen Long would After giving him such an answer, I really didn't know how to deal with it while being thrilled.

Shen Long is also a person who has been an official and managed tens of millions of people. He knows how difficult it is to be in the officialdom, let alone make some achievements. Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo are all good people. Playing tricks in the court is definitely thankless.

This is like quarreling with Shabi on the Internet. Shabi can always pull your IQ to the same level as him, and then use his rich experience to defeat you. Go to the court to fight with Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others. It’s just like this .

Since Shen Long is well versed in the direction of historical development and has such abundant resources, why should he do this kind of thing again? Is it possible to find another way to deal with it in a better way?

"After hearing this today, I feel a little confused!" Wang Anshi said honestly, "The chariots and horses are ready, and Yuanze will go to Xiangzhou tomorrow morning; as for the cultivated land, I will also ask the housekeeper to buy some nearby. I will wait tomorrow." When the Taoist priest woke up, I asked him to come over and ask for advice to see what kind of land is best to buy."

The price of land around Kaifeng is high, and most of the landlords are unwilling to sell it, 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.

"I will spend some time thinking about what the Taoist priest said today. If I have any doubts, I hope the Taoist priest will not hesitate to enlighten me." Wang Anshi said again.

"Jiefu is welcome, this is what he should mean; I am going to build a small courtyard outside the city of Kaifeng and move my house there, and then Jiefu can go and read the books on the other wall in the study. " Shen Long said.

In his study room, on one wall are works of liberal arts, such as classics and history collections, and on the other are works of science, such as physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy. I wonder what Wang Anshi's reaction will be when he reads these.

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

"There are a lot of people in the city, but there are a lot of things in my room that are inconvenient to be seen by others. Surely Jiefu can understand?" Shen Long comforted with a smile, "It will be quieter when you go outside the city, oh, when the time comes Let Yuan Ze follow me to live there for a while!"

Wang Anshi's official position is too high to go away, and Wang Yu's official position is small, so it should be no problem to ask for more leave.
