Chapter 137 Belin's Apprenticeship

When Belin arrived at Wu Yubi's residence, she found that there were already many students outside.

Many great scholars may not have political status, but their knowledge can make many people follow them. When Wu and Bi arrived in Zunhua, they had not spread yet, but later the news spread.

The students from Zunhua came to visit spontaneously, and Wu and Bi came to ask questions.

Speaking of which, the Confucian atmosphere near Zunhua is not shallow.

This is actually very simple. Everything is inferior, only reading is high. This concept has penetrated into the hearts of all Chinese people. Most of the time, whenever parents have some solutions, they want their children to study.

To make a name for yourself.

Although in Hebei, because many people stand out in the army and have great martial spirits, many people regard the development of a title in the army as their own way of progress.

However, the best way to this path is to get into martial arts. There are cultural requirements in martial arts.

As the iron industry center, Zunhua, no matter how Zunhua iron farm harms the environment, this iron plant also brings huge wealth to the people of Zunhua. Not to mention these craftsmen who were originally in Zunhua iron plant, just talking about the merchants who gathered orders, they could bring great traffic and wealth to Zunhua.

Zunhua's economic growth even surpassed many prefectures in Hebei. One county is even comparable to Yongping Prefecture next door. Some people even suggested that Zunhua be listed separately, and some land outside the Great Wall be listed as Zunhua Prefecture.

Under such circumstances, Zunhua people are naturally willing to spend money on education.

When Belin came here, he saw countless students half-enclosing Wu and Bi's room, standing silently, listening to Wu and Bi's old questions inside, answering one question after another.

Although Belin is an official, she doesn't dare to take big things at this moment, just listening from behind.

Suddenly he heard someone ask inside: "Sir, Mr. Tianli's latest article discusses the steam engine, but he doesn't know how to think about the meditation?"

Belin's heart suddenly moved.

He is not very knowledgeable, but he knows some allusions.

This is an allusion in Zhuangzi. It is said that when Confucius' student Zigong returned to Jin and passed Hanyin, he saw an old man holding a urn to water vegetables again and again. "He used a lot of force but saw less effort." He suggested that he use machinery to draw water. The old man was unwilling and said: Doing this will lead to a person's intention to be an intention, "I don't know that I am ashamed to do it." Cheng Xuanying said: "Those who have mobile tasks must have an intention to change."

Although this allusion is Zhuangzi, hundreds of schools of thought have melted each other in history, and many things have been used by each other.

Even many Confucians think this makes sense.

This is also the case that many people in the Qing Dynasty regard technology as one of the theoretical basis for the ingenious and erotic techniques. They think that this particularly fine idea will make the people care about it and be tempted, causing a decline in moral quality and creating a situation where the world is declining.

And what is the traditional route to rule the world today?

It is a person who becomes a good person through various cultivation. When everyone in the world is a good person, it is time for the world to be harmonious. Between the two, they are contrary to the truth.

Although it seems so stupid now, sometimes you can't just look at them stupid, but don't know why they are stupid.

Many of Belin's behaviors were so contemptuous that he thought of them. He was also confused in his heart. At this moment, he also wanted to know how Wu Yubi answered this question.

But he heard the old voice of Wu and Bi, saying, "The Master's way is benevolence, Mencius' way is righteousness, and the great qualities are inseparable from the ages, but some things have changed. The saying of scheming comes from Laozi and Zhuangzi. It is not the justice of Confucianism. Now there is no need to keep this mind."

"Since this dynasty, although we are working hard to manage, there are still floods and droughts in the world. How can there be steam engines? In many places, I don't know how many lives can survive. This is not a great benevolence and righteousness, but ambition can be stopped."

"Okay." Belin couldn't help but say loudly.

This alarmed the students here and allowed Wu and Bi to see Belin too.

Seeing this, Wu Yubi said to the students around him: "I'll be here today, come again tomorrow."

Belin has been in Zunhua Iron Factory for a long time. Some students knew him, so naturally they had no objection and bowed down one after another without mentioning it.

Belin went in and immediately apologized: "I misled the teacher to give lectures."

Wu Yubi said, "It's okay, sir, but I don't know what's going on?"

Belin suddenly saluted, lifted up her robe, knelt on the ground, and said, "The student read the articles of Mr. Tianli, and heard the comments from him again. He was very impressed and grateful. He wanted to worship Mr. as his teacher and listened to the lecture under his seat. Even though he died, he had no regrets."

Speaking of which, Belin is not a few years younger than Wu and Bi. Now she is also gray-haired.

Wu Yubi quickly helped him up and said, "Why should Lord Bei do this?"

Belin said, "I heard the truth in the morning and died in the evening. I would like to ask my husband to accept my prayer."

On the one hand, Wu Yubi couldn't stop it, but on the other hand, he suddenly moved his heart and said to himself: "I think Your Majesty attaches great importance to this person. If he is willing to pass on my knowledge, this knowledge will have a foundation in the officialdom."

No matter any ideological dispute, the key lies in humans.

The heart-learning was prosperous, and it was also after several heart-learning masters were found in the center. Wu Yubi wanted to promote his own knowledge, and the best way was to have several officials in the court who believed in his own knowledge.

But Wu Yubi knew that the ministers of the six ministers of the cabinet are at least 40 or 50 years old, and their thoughts have already been formed. No matter how right he said, they may not be able to convince them.

And Belin is different.

How could Wu and Bi not know that Belin came to be a disciple for other purposes, because according to his new theory, the most advantageous people like Belin were Belin.

But so what?

Isn’t the relationship between people like this? Wu Yubi’s title can give Belin great benefits, but is Beilin, an official who was valued by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, who presided over the steam engine project and even almost won the title, meaningless to Wu Yubi?

So Wu Yubi's hand was slightly slowed down, and Belin was already kneeling on the ground and kowtowed and bowed.

Wu and Bi sighed and said, "Stop it. You and I will discuss with each other, there is no need to perform this great gift."

"Yes, Master." After Belin saluted, he immediately stood up and stood with respectful hands down, like a primary school student.

After all, the status of masters and disciples in ancient times was second only to that between the king and the minister. After this level of status was determined, Belin's attitude towards Wu and Bi immediately changed, as if she was serving her elders.

Wu Yubi said: "What do you don't understand about that article?"

Beilin immediately asked a lot of questions. Most of them were questions in Confucianism. Beilin was a famous scholar in astronomy, but in another field, she seemed to be a primary school student.

Wu and Bi answered these questions casually.

Belin immediately asked the question he was most concerned about. He said: "Master, the laws of heaven are everywhere in the world, scattered among all things, forming the principles of all things, knowing the principles of all things, and combining them into one is the laws of heaven itself, but how should this laws of heaven be proved?"

After hearing this, Wu Yubi smiled and said, "You are not using steam when you build a steam engine? You shouldn't ask me about such things, you should ask yourself."

Belin's eyes were a little confused and said, "Ask myself?"

Wu Yubi said: "I also observed the magic of the steam engine and realized the magnificence of all things, and understood how the principles of all things are applied. In this regard, you are my teacher."

When Belin heard this, she felt even more confused.

There is nothing else, many things have different understandings in the eyes of different people.

In Wu Yubi's view, using steam to promote the movement of the steam engine is a very magical thing in itself, and naturally the principle of steam is used.

But Belin asked herself but didn't know what the principle of steam was?

Because Belin is an astronomer, he knows that a little unclear on the calendar will lead to countless mistakes.

As for the principle of steam, Belin didn't know how to talk about it. It could only become water to expand, but how to expand, how much did it expand?

have no idea.
