Later, I heard from Li Bao about the specific conditions of the surrounding ocean and the training of sailors.

Also, Li Bao suggested that due to the lack of professional supply ships, the ammunition in the warehouse could only be reduced by part to store supplies.

Therefore, the progress of exploring the surrounding sea areas is very slow, and each time we have to return to resupply before we can continue to set off.

It is a pity that the first batch of wood processed now will have to wait for a while before ships can be made, and even so, only fishing boats and small boats can be built. Large sea-going ships require very strict wood requirements, and excellent wood has not yet been found.

Especially the keel.

It seems that we can only continue to research more advanced shipbuilding technology, or we can only let the system provide complete shipbuilding technology and practical drawings.

Fortunately, there are still three battleships to provide reference, but without being able to dismantle them for research, not many results have been obtained. Without a way to build a qualified hull, we can only study the sails and layout.

----------

Time moves forward tenaciously and steadily.

Another three months have passed, and time has come to the harvest season of all things.

The rice fields in the paddy fields outside Dongcheng have already been bent over, and the yellow-orange rice ears are plump and plump. Looking at them from a distance, my heart is full of joy, full of satisfaction, happiness, and security.

Harvest is always a joy. The first season of rice is about to be harvested. Three months have passed since budding, transplanting and harvesting. Judging from the current acres of fields, the yield per acre is very gratifying.

Yang Song heard that Yang Zhong and Fang Qing came to report that the rice was about to be harvested, so he came to the rice fields in the east of the city to have a look.

"Lord, Tianqi City's first rice harvest is about to be harvested. Please offer sacrifices to the Divine Farmer of Heaven and Earth. One is to unite the people's hearts, and the other is to rectify the orthodoxy." Yang Zhong stood in the middle of the government affairs hall and suggested seriously.

"My subordinates will reconsider, my lord, this harvest is of extraordinary significance," Fang Qing, the manager of Nongsang, continued.

Yang Song thought for a while and then said: "Okay, Yang Zhong, go and prepare. In a few days, we will sacrifice to Heaven and Earth, Shen Nong, and start harvesting rice."

Yes, in this era, sacrifice is very sacred and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is not just superstition, but the crystallization of the simplicity, hard work and wisdom of the Chinese people.

The Chinese people work hard to create civilization, create wealth, and create the future with their own hands, but in the end they are the most vulnerable!

The ritual sense of sacrifice can give the hard-working Chinese people a way to feel at ease with their harvest, and give them a way to vent their uneasiness in seeking income from heaven and earth, as well as their joy at harvest.

Since ancient times, China has attached great importance to the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Only when you pay will you gain something. This is not something that people from other ethnic groups can simply understand.

Looking at these issues with current thinking, many people do not understand the inner feelings of the people at that time. Uneasiness? It does not exist! Awe? What is that? Gratitude? No!

Because today's society is full of exchanges of interests, what I pay and what I get, although it is true, the most simple and true feelings have been diluted!

Therefore, in ancient times, sacrifices were solemn and important, and no one other than the king of a country or the head of a family had the right to hold them. It was closely connected with major events such as sending troops to fight, harvesting crops, and opening up territories.

----------

Yang Song arrived outside the east city early that morning. At this moment, the open space beside the rice fields was already crowded with people. There was a high platform in the open space next to the city wall, which was a temporary sacrificial platform.

There is a long table placed at the highest point of the sacrificial platform. On the long table are three animals, an incense burner, a tuft of cattails below, and then a burning four-legged copper tripod. Long flags stand on the four corners of the sacrificial platform.

Yang Song was wearing a dark robe, a ceremonial crown, and cloud boots. He was standing under the sacrificial altar in formal attire. Next to him were officials, big and small. Except for the navy commander Li Bao who went out to explore the sea, everyone else came.

"The auspicious time has come, the sacrifices begin!" Yang Zhong shouted.

"Boom boom~"

After a burst of cannons and a burst of gongs and drums, the whole place was silent!

Yang Song walked up to the sacrificial altar slowly and steadily step by step with firm steps.

"Kowtow to heaven and earth!" Yang Zhong shouted.

As Yang Song knelt on the tuanfu, everyone in the audience, including officials and civilians, men, women, old and young, all knelt down. After kowtowing three times, they all stood up.

"Incense!"

Yang Song took the three long incense sticks, lit them in the copper tripod, walked to the altar, bowed three times, inserted the long incense sticks into the incense burner and stepped aside, while the main officials behind him poured incense in turn.

"Please give a speech!"

Yang Song stood in the center of the offering ceremony, unfolded the offering words written on bamboo slips facing the offering table, and began to recite them.

"In this different world, the people of Yanhuang, China, have settled here because of the blessings of heaven and earth. They work hard all day long to gain something. Today, they offer sacrifices to heaven and earth to repay the blessings of heaven and earth~~"

The sacrificial words recorded where this place was, who was there, what they were doing, thanking heaven and earth for their blessing, and the harvest, etc.

After Yang Song finished reciting the sacrificial words, he threw the bamboo slips into the copper cauldron and burned them.

Then Yang Song spoke some words to the people in the audience, mainly words to encourage officials and people.

Yang Song walked down to the sacrificial platform and went to the newly built Shennong Temple not far away to worship the ancestors' kindness and hope for their blessings again!

Finally, with the sound of "Ceremony!", a burst of cannons, and a burst of gongs and drums, the whole audience was in a state of excitement, dancing and excited!

Yang Song then came to the rice field, holding the harvesting sickle in his hand, and started the first harvest, the first harvest of rice.

After he completed the ceremony, the farmers among the people watching the excitement went to the fields to harvest, bundle and thresh the rice. The division of labor was clear!

At this time, Yang Song stood by the rice field, looked at the busy people, and said to Yang Zhong and Fang Qing on the side.

"Pay attention to the preservation of the rice, and then calculate the average yield per mu and the total harvest. After the work is done, hold a celebration together, a harvest celebration! This will calm the fearful hearts of the people."

"As you command, my lord, my lord is wise." they replied.

In fact, Yang Song, like the common people, came to this strange world, strange places, and strange people and things. There was always a faint fear and uneasiness in his heart, but no one showed it because of the pressure of survival.

Come out, and take advantage of this opportunity, Yang Song is ready to eliminate the unsettling factors in everyone's hearts. The most convenient and quickest way is to hold a celebration so that everyone can be harmonious, happy and lively to vent their anger.

.

Ding~

Congratulations to the host for successfully holding a harvest ceremony and receiving the following rewards:

Population 1,000

A great scientist

Five scientific researchers

A research institute.

The moment the celebration ended, the system sent a wonderful reminder to Yang Song.

Now that Apocalypse City and the surrounding territories are initially on the right track, the system has rewarded keys for one step forward.

For Yang Song, this award is something he attaches great importance to. You must know that "Science is the primary productive force" is a sentence that Yang Song has experienced very deeply.

In today's Tianqi City, there are no convenient things such as electricity, Internet, and cars. Even daily necessities are very primitive. Without various workshops, Yang Song would still be wiping his butt with tree branches.

With these scientific personnel and this research institute, science and technology can be developed. Presumably, with the development of science and industry, life will become more and more convenient and faster.

…

The next day, Yang Song found Yang Zhong, and then received a thousand people and asked him to make arrangements for these new people. With these one thousand, some projects that lacked manpower could be established.

For example: ranching, mining, smelting, cement, glass, chemicals, textiles, leather, soap, road construction, sewers... and other factory projects can be established.

"Uh, I'm thinking too much!" He came back to his senses and wiped the non-existent saliva from his mouth. This is just a thousand people, and they can't do so many things!

But it is conceivable that once these factories are all established, how attractive the wealth of Apocalypse City will be and how abundant the materials will be! Productivity can be improved again.

Then he came to the reserved open space in the northwest corner of the city to collect and establish the research institute, and then collected six scientists and scientific researchers. After receiving them, he found that these were not ordinary people.

Shen Kuo - Comprehensive Scientist

Zhu Xi - Education

Qin Jiushao——Mathematics

Song Ci - Forensic Medicine

Li Jie - Architecture

Chen Min——Agriculture

Yang Zhongfu - Astronomical Calendar

From the few famous figures he was familiar with, it could be seen that these should all be people who left their names in history.

Shen Kuo is a great scientist in the system theory, the man who wrote the scientific work "Mengxi Bi Tan". He is proficient in astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, mathematics, water conservancy, medicine, economics, military, art, literature, architecture and even divination.

, simply an all-rounder.

He is worthy of being recognized by the system as a great scientist. He is worthy of being hailed as "the most outstanding figure in the entire history of science in China". "Mengxi Bi Tan" is also known as "a milestone in the history of Chinese science".

Zhu Xi, a master of Dharma, Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, a Neo-Confucianist, a thinker, a philosopher, an educator, a poet, a famous figure who created "Neo-Confucianism", but Yang Song did not agree with some of the ideas, but in terms of education

Yang Song still values ​​​​it. In this era, these idealistic ideas are still very common. Yang Song does not disagree, but materialism is more in line with the development of science. In sociology and moral philosophy, idealism still has many functions.

Yang Song is ready to start a hundred schools of thought contending in the academic field, and let a hundred flowers bloom. After all, there is a reason for existence!

Qin Jiushao, this person is not as famous as the previous two, but Yang Song still knows this person. He studied astrology, music, arithmetic, poetry, bow and sword, and construction, especially mathematics. He wrote the book "Nine Chapters of the Book of Numbers"

", among which Dayan's method of finding one (the solution to the problem of linear congruential equations, now known as the Chinese remainder theorem), triclinic quadrature and Qin Jiushao's algorithm (the numerical method of finding the positive roots of higher-order equations) are

An important contribution of world significance, it describes an algorithm for solving numerical solutions to high-order polynomial equations of one variable - positive and negative square root. Among them, the world famous mathematics book "Nine Chapters of the Book of Numbers" has nine chapters and eighteen volumes, nine chapters and nine categories.

, the book is extremely rich in content, ranging from astronomy, astrology, calendars, weather forecasting, to rivers, water conservancy, architecture, transportation, various geometric figures and volumes, money valleys, taxes, markets, calculations and exchanges of grains,

It is an epoch-making masterpiece.

Song Ci, the famous criminal judge of the Song Dynasty and the best candidate for judicial prosecution, created "forensic identification", so Song Ci is respected as the originator of forensic medicine in the world. He wrote "The Collection of Cleansing of Wrongs" (one theory is "The Record of Cleansing Wrongs") ), the world's leading application of traditional Chinese medicine in criminal and prison examinations, and comprehensively summarizes the actual experience of official prison examinations since the pre-Qin Dynasty, making it organized, systematic and theoretical. The scientific spirit of pragmatism and truth-seeking, which was very rare at that time.

Li Jie, a famous architect in the Northern Song Dynasty. He presided over the construction of large-scale buildings such as the Kaifeng Mansion, the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and the Qinci Empress Dowager Buddhist Temple. He wrote the first book in China that discussed construction engineering practices in detail, "Chuo Fa Shi". "Chuo Fa Shi" The compilation comes from the practice of ancient craftsmen. It is a practice that has been passed down by craftsmen for generations and has been popular for a long time. Therefore, the book reflects the level of Chinese civil construction engineering technology at that time.

The "Agricultural Book" edited by Chen Min summarized in detail the rich experience of farmers in southern China in planting rice and raising silkworms, planting mulberries, raising cattle and other production technologies. He also pointed out that by improving the soil through reasonable fertilization, the soil fertility can be "constantly new and strong." .Chen Min's "Agricultural Book" played an important role in the improvement of China's ancient agricultural technology system, and has important guiding significance for actual production. In particular, his enterprising spirit and fully developed ideas are praised by the world. .

Yang Zhongfu, who wrote the "Tongtian Calendar", set the year as 3652425 days, which is only 26 seconds different from the year of return. The accuracy is equivalent to the Gregorian calendar, but it is more than 380 years earlier.
Chapter completed!
