In addition, "Mengxi Bitan" also has discussions on military, chemistry, agronomy, and archaeology, which are worthy of study.

By the time Zhao Wuxian finished browsing these contents, it was already evening.

He closed the book, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and felt admiration for Shen Kuo.

Even though he was born in later generations and had received systematic education and training, he could not get involved in such a field.

The above content may only be elementary and middle school knowledge in the future, but it is unbelievable in this era.

By breaking down the research content of "Dream Pool Essays", at least eleven disciplines worthy of in-depth study can be created.

Of course, "Dream Pool Essays" also has limitations and flaws.

Due to the limitations of the times, environment, and thinking, as well as Shen Kuo's insufficient level of cognition, some of his content appears unscientific.

But this unscientific nature is actually the process of scientific progress.

Ask questions, express opinions, engage in discussions, gain recognition, or overturn conclusions and innovate.

That’s “science”!

The thoughts of the literati and scholars in the Song Dynasty now need such collisions to spark sparks before there can be changes.

After all, Kyushu’s thousands of years of cultural heritage cannot be accepted by people all at once.

Even in the history that Zhao Wuxian was familiar with.

It also experienced the transition from the Celestial Empire to humiliation.

Only then did some people begin to open their eyes to the events, and various movements to learn how to "use barbarians to control barbarians" were launched, gradually exposing them to new ideas.

Any change will inevitably bring conflict!

Zhao Wuxian did not hesitate to secretly support Fang La's uprising, just to use him to get rid of the existing vested interests.

Those scholars, wealthy families, and powerful classes who rose to prominence with the Song Dynasty but only focused on family interests.

Only by replacing this group of people can we break down and then rebuild.

A big purge!

But this is just the beginning.

The road ahead is still long.

Fortunately.

Zhao Wuxian possesses absolute strength and abundant capital, which can support him in sketching the scroll according to his own ideas.

If someone else were to do what he wants to do, it would definitely be a way to death.

Zhao Wuxian was filled with thoughts.

He stood on the tide of the times.

He can see the "future".

.... ........ ...

This kind of transformation of a dynasty and innovation of an era is tantamount to defying fate and reshaping the world!

"The highest is to establish virtue, the next is to establish merit, and the next is to establish words. Even if they are not abandoned for a long time, this is called immortality."

What Zhao Wuxian is doing is an "immortal" thing.

He doesn't care whether he succeeds or not.

His name will surely remain in the history of Kyushu and be praised by future generations.

From the perspective of "demand theory", at Zhao Wuxian's level, what he pursues is naturally the highest level of needs.

The mind is focused.

Zhao Wuxian looked at Shen Kuo and said, "Dream Pool Essays can be published, but some parts need to be revised!"

Shen Kuo was surprised.

Zhao Wuxian said personally that it can be published, so it can be published.

These days, woodblock printing is very valuable.

Publishing a book is not easy.

He quickly said, "I will change it as the prince says!"

As long as it can be published, there is no problem with deletion or modification.

Shen Kuo is not a stubborn person.

After Zhao Xu ascended the throne, Shen Kuo specially drew and compiled "A Map of Counties and Prefectures in the World" in order to please the new emperor and presented it to the palace.

From this we can see that talent and character are two different things.

Otherwise, how could there be a poem like "Those who are loyal are usually butchers, and those who are unfaithful are usually scholars."

Zhao Wuxian and Shen Kuo discussed.

Basically, the items that Zhao Wuxian valued were retained, while items like "magical" and "strange things" were deleted.

Shen Kuo took this very seriously and made annotations for each one.

The lanterns are on.

Shen Kuo left excitedly.

A figure in white came in lightly. It was Shi Feixuan, who brought a food box.

Because Huang Yaoshi went into seclusion in the Qitian Tower, Shi Feixuan from the Qishi Mansion temporarily took over his job to protect the research institute.

Shi Feixuan was dressed in a white dress as white as snow, which wrapped her graceful figure. Her face was covered with a white veil, and her temperament was cool and unique.

"Your Majesty, please have your meal!"

Shi Feixuan put down the lunch box and turned to leave.

Zhao WuXian smiled and said, "Miss Shi, it's a beautiful day, how about having a drink together?"

Shi Feixuan looked back.

Her eyes were moving and calm as water.

"If you are interested, you can go find the master."

Zhao Wuxian smiled.

"Miss Master, even if you want to leave, you may not be able to!"

Shi Feixuan noticed something was wrong with the surroundings, glared with her beautiful eyes, and said unhappily, "Does Your Majesty want to force me?"

Zhao Wuxian waved his sleeves lightly.

The snow-white silk on Shi Feixuan's body floated down from the sky like clouds and mist.
