Chapter 538 Wang Anshi’s Class

Zhao Pian asked: "How did the rich man persuade you not to talk about him? What do you think?"

Su You said: "I don't know. I want to be useful and make a difference, but I'm also afraid that I won't be able to bear it and point fingers."

Zhao Pian said solemnly: "When it's time to point fingers, just point fingers. You are still young. Learn from your brothers in this aspect."

Su You nodded: "Be impartial and independent, and stand on your own feet."

Zhao Pian said: "Isn't this what you always wanted? Why, are you starting to worry about gains and losses?"

Su You calmed down and said, "Thank you Ming Gong for your guidance. I know how to do it."

Zhao Pian nodded: "You are still so young, and it is not a bad thing to have more ups and downs. In just six years, you have risen from a border county outside the state to the third rank. What's the matter? Are you planning to become an official at the age of thirty? When the time comes, you will have no way out.

Have you thought about what will happen?"

This statement goes against the rules of officials. Once outsiders find out, Zhao Pian will immediately be labeled as a treacherous person.

Su You had actually thought about this before, but if Zhao Pian could say such words to himself, it was because he was closer to him than his own son.

He was deeply moved in his heart, and he cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Lord Ming. When faced with a dilemma between oneself and one's country, Su You knows how to make a choice."

Zhao Pian smiled and said: "You can be taught, my child. Your intelligence and planning ability are all the best. Even the river management in Kuizhou, Weizhou and Xizhou can't help you. Is there any place in the Song Dynasty where it's hard for you to live?"

Su You chuckled: "Looking at it now, I'm actually quite capable, huh?"

Zhao Pian rolled his eyes: "If you figure it out, then get out of here and disturb my purity for no reason."

Su You stood up and said, "Okay, I'll leave then. Uncle Gao Guo has sent some pieces of steel and is waiting for me to see them."

As soon as I went out, I heard Zhao Bian shouting from behind: "Hurry up and pass it on to future generations. Do you know that there are three ways to be unfilial and to have no descendants?"

Su You stumbled and almost fell over. He didn't dare to look at Guanyi anymore and ran away crawling on the ground.

The next day when we arrived at Zhou's Case, Shi Tong came up and said, "Master, Ambassador Gao and Uncle Li found a vein of minerals in Zhangjiawu, Shangzhou, and the steel produced has strange properties."

Su You's heart was beating wildly: "Is it the kind we want?"

Shi Tong nodded fiercely: "At 500 degrees Celsius, it can still cut iron normally, and at 1000 degrees Celsius, it can still maintain extremely high hardness!"

Su You looked at several shiny black milling cutters: "How did you do it?"

Shi Tong said: "This is Erlin Steel and new ore powder smelted in a sealed crucible. The production is extremely difficult. I locked the specific process manual directly in the safe."

Su You has concluded that the milling cutter is most likely made of cemented carbide, and it is most likely a tungsten-cobalt alloy with iron as a binder.

Erlin Steel was produced in the Panzhihua area in later generations and contains a large amount of rare earth elements. It may also be a rare earth alloy.

But no matter what it is, it is a carbide tool that will be known as "industrial teeth" in later generations!

In an instant, the troubles Wang Anshi brought to him disappeared, and Su You asked excitedly: "Have you tried loading a milling machine?"

Shi Tong geared up: "I'll wait for you to come back and give the order!"

Su You said: "Immediately, immediately! Let's go together!"

A standard hexagonal wrought iron rod was clamped onto the milling machine and began to rotate. Shi Tong, wearing Seruluo goggles, concentrated on shaking the handle so that the cutter head approached the center of the wrought iron pipe.

Under the lubrication of the engine oil, a round hole was soon bored out of the center of the iron rod.

As the boring hole gradually deepened, Shi Tong's expression became more focused.

The generals around held their breaths. They watched the thin iron flowers come out of the tube, which was like cutting iron like mud!

Finally, a standard pipe fitting was bored out, and huge cheers suddenly came from the workshop.

From the first crude boring machine that could only boring wooden bowls to the current mechanical boring machine that can boring out iron blunderbuss tubes, it took elites from all walks of life fourteen years!

Su You suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Check! Check the straightness!"

There is no need to check the smoothness, the inner tube is as smooth as a mirror.

The results came out soon. The straightness error was less than 0.2 mm, which was completely qualified!

Then rifling it and sending it to heat treatment, this is a qualified magic gun barrel.

The processing time is dozens of times faster than before, and the loss of the tool head is negligible!

Su You found a piece of oil paper and wrapped the musket tube: "I want to report the good news to His Majesty right away. Shi Tong, ask Sitong Company to pick up your grandfather immediately, as well as Xiao Tianshi's chemical team. We can't shirk the blame this time."

Yes. Also, send the previously designed cutter head drawings to Shangzhou and ask Uncle Gao Guo to make another batch! This batch must have a large engineering number!"

After speaking, he excitedly said to the generals: "Don't underestimate the small knife head, cheer! This is the moment to change the fate of the Song Dynasty! Ask the kitchen to kill two pigs, and have a feast tonight!"

He picked up two more knife heads and put them in his recruitment bag, and hurriedly ran to find Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu was listening to Wang Anshi's lecture on how to apply Confucian classics.

Today we will talk about "Hong Fan", which is the Mandate of Heaven, the basis for governing a country, and the theoretical foundation for governing a country.

Wang Anshi said: "Those who want to change are the way of heaven. Fate is not about life and death. The rise and fall of all things are all destiny."

"The five elements are those that change and move around ghosts and gods, traveling between heaven and earth without any end, that's why it's called walking."

"Heaven creates water, which acts as essence for things."

"Earth raises fire, which becomes a god to things."

"The three heavens produce wood, which is the soul of things."

"The four elements of the earth generate gold, which acts as soul in things."

"The five heavens give rise to earth, which is the meaning of things."

"Heaven one to heaven five, the number of the five elements also arises, oddities produce oddities, oddities produce oddities, and the number of them is five. Therefore, the Tao is established in two, formed in three, and changed into five, and the number of heaven and earth is complete."

"Fu Taiji generates the five elements, and then benefits and harms arise."

Combining the number of heaven and earth with the five elements and five gods, and adjusting the order, so that it has a theoretical source basis and becomes reasonable, it can be regarded as Wang Anshi's epistemological innovation.

Then Wang Anshi taught Zhao Xu the difference between Shushu and Yili. The Tao is there, and the purpose of understanding the Tao is to understand the process and laws of the changes in destiny.

Among them, there are further divisions into techniques and principles.

Techniques are derived from causes, while meanings are derived from results and manifestations.

What the two rely on is the heart, so "if you cultivate your mind to the point of shrewdness, you can realize the Tao."

Therefore, from a metaphysical perspective, the mind and Tao are the same, and from a metaphysical perspective, the mind and Tao are still the same, but one is the body of Tao and the other is the use of Tao.

Therefore, "What is in me cannot but be thought of."

This sentence is comparable to the Western "I think, therefore I am." It is the greatness of Wang Anshi's philosophical research.

After years of research, Wang Anshi also discovered that there are differences in the preface of the Five Elements in the "Book of Rites? Yue Ling", "Shang Shu? Dayu Mo", and "Shang Shu? Hong Fan". He thinks this is also reasonable.

The order of time is the easiest to understand and is a representation; the order of utensils, which is the national laws and regulations, is a slightly higher level; the order of dao is the most profound. The order of utensils is only the application level, while the order of dao is the essence of dao and is the most difficult

master.

Therefore, as shown in the three classics, "Hong Fan" is far more important than "Dayu Mo", and "Dayu Mo" is far more important than "Yue Ling".

Then he concluded: "They are mutually reinforcing, so they can succeed each other; they are mutually restrained, so they govern each other. The speech instruments also govern each other, so the six prefectures of the prefaces restrain each other; the speech time also succeeds, so the virtues of the prefaces are created by each other."

The course ended here. Zhao Xu listened and seemed to understand something: "So, if the laws of nature are consistent, why would there be catastrophes?"

Wang Anshi explained: "Changes in things in the world appear in front of us alternately. It is not enough to only know that the Tao is eternal. If we encounter changes in the sky, we will not be able to understand them. Therefore, we must examine the changes and know the gains and losses of the Tao of Heaven. Then we can

.Therefore, a gentleman must not be ignorant of profit and loss.”

"There is yin and yang, and the one who separates the new and the old is Heaven; where there is debate, and the one who separates the new and the old is human."

"Have the heavens done something wrong? If so, it is because of the erosion of the mausoleum. Has the earth ever done something wrong? If it has happened, it has been like a collapse and exhaustion. If the heaven and earth have had their faults, how can they carry on without exhaustion? It is good to return to normal.

"

It means that when the heaven and earth have experienced disasters, won't the disasters affect the people they contain? Of course they will, but the heavens and the earth will soon return to normal, and nature will soon resume normal operations.

"It is recorded in ancient books that if a ruler oversteps his bounds, there will be drought; if a ruler is arrogant, there will be floods. What if the ruler is both overstepping and arrogant?"

"In the fifth year of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, he came out with a coma, and in his tenth year, he came out with a baby again. These are all signs of subversion of the king, and he reigned for twenty-eight years."

"Accidents are a constant in the world and have nothing to do with personal gains or losses."

"There were floods in the ninth year of Yao's reign and drought in seven years of Tang's reign. Is it the fault of the sage?"
