Collection of Huaxia: Halloween Tribute to Ice Sculpture Company

The screen changed and he returned to the live broadcast room.

Zhou Jin smiled and said: "After the successful publication of "Tiangong Kaiwu", the imperial court paid attention to it. I thought it was a pirate who smuggled books privately. After investigation, it turned out to be a poor scholar who failed the scientific examination."

"With the support of various civil forces, the reprint of "Tiangong Kaiwu" was very successful. However, it caught up with the turbulent years at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no promotion by the court. This was Song Yingxing's only regret before his death."

As soon as the words fell, Qiqi continued: "God favors hardworking people. In the 11th year of Chongzhen, because of Song Yingxing's hard work, he was promoted to a seventh-rank official and took office in Dingzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, where he was in charge of the judiciary."

That year, Song Yingxing was already 52 years old.

Father Song's dream of a glorious family lintel failed to come true after all.

When he first took office, there was a notorious pirate gang in the local area. Song Yingxing didn't understand the situation and exempted them from punishment.After this group of pirates were released from prison and committed crimes, the local leaders called him a "spies."

In desperation, Song Yingxing went to the pirate headquarters alone, and with a pair of three-inch tongues, he actually influenced the group of pirates and disbanded them on the spot.After returning, he was praised by his superiors.

Song Yingxing couldn't bear the smog in the officialdom, so he resigned and went home after less than two years of working.

Qiqi smiled sweetly, and said: "When Chen Hongxu was defending Jinzhou, he was beaten so dizzy by the Qing soldiers. He made artillery according to "Heavenly Creation", and the Qing army revised the battle course overnight."

"This is the first practice of "Tiangong Kaiwu", and it has achieved good results."

Chongzhen 16 years.

Song Yingxing was sent to Bozhou as the magistrate, a genuine fifth-rank official.

But at this time, the world was in chaos, and on the eve of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, the fifth-rank officials were worthless.

When they arrived in Bozhou, Song Yingxing and his servants searched around the city three or four times, but they didn't see the Yamen.It was later discovered that the yamen had been blown up.He set up a tent on the ruins and tried to maintain order during the war.

Looking at Bozhou City full of barbarians, Song Yingxing sighed: "It's better to be in a prosperous age!"

He is a 57-year-old scholar who has no strength to lead an army to fight.He can only take the lead in building a house and donate all his meager salary.

In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is approaching.

On the way back to his hometown, Song Yingxing heard that Hong Chengchou had surrendered. He knew very well that the days of Ming Dynasty were numbered, and that its demise was only a matter of time.

After the Spring Festival, Song Yingxing stayed in his hometown and didn't go anywhere.

In March, Li Zicheng broke into Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan.

In April, Wu Sangui defected to the Qing army, and Li Zicheng fled to the mountains.

In May, the Qing army broke through the city of Beijing, and the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty was established.

In the following year, the Nanming court collapsed, the country's name was changed to Qing Dynasty, and times changed.

Song Yingxing watched all of this silently, and just stayed in his hometown to live a leisurely life.

After the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

His former colleagues persuaded him to come out to become an official, saying that the Qing Dynasty pursued the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty, and he must not miss the opportunity to get rich.

But Song Yingxing read the books of sages since he was a child. Those people had higher grades in science examinations and better knowledge than him. Why are their bones so soft?

"Song Yingxing's life in his later years was unavoidably miserable, but he also had the pastoral life that Tao Yuanming yearned for. He was a contradictory person. He cared about the world, but he was powerless to save the collapsed Ming Dynasty. Fields."

Zhou Jin said softly.

Qiqi quickly opened her mouth and said, "I, I know!"

"After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court invited him to be an official several times. But he was politely refused, which ran counter to his young wish. Perhaps, this was also a compromise between him and himself."

"Qiqi is right. Times have changed. Back then, I was only thinking about Guangyao's lintel, but now I don't want to give him away for nothing. If Father Song knew about it, I don't know how to feel about it."

Zhou Jin straightened her face and said, "Following the camera, let's visit Mr. Song together."

As soon as the voice fell, the screen went dark for a short while.

During the Kangxi period.

Xinxiang County, Jiangxi Province.

The place where Song Yingxing was born, went around for most of his life, and finally returned here.

In a school in the county.

There was a catchy reading sound.

Song Yingxing looked peaceful and sat on the soft bed.

A pair of eyes that have been devastated by wind and frost are shining with light, looking so bright.Scanning the young people studying in the school one by one, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but smile.

"Sir, how do you understand this sentence?"

A young man stood up.

Song Yingxing asked, "Read it aloud."

"Ming Jun must be respectful and thrifty."

Hearing this, Song Yingxing's eyes became dark.

In an instant, all kinds of past events in the first half of his life came to mind. He failed the scientific examination six times in a row, and now he has become a subjugated slave. Instead of worrying, he smiled in relief.

"Sir... sir?"

The young man shouted a few times.

"The meaning of this sentence is that a wise monarch must be frugal, and take the people with restraint..."

Just now.

A servant hurried over and shouted: "Sir, the imperial court has sent someone again, please go out and be an official."

Song Yingxing shook his head, and said softly: "Tell him that I am old and have no intention of career, please ask him to go back."

"Sir, this is the third time this month."

The servant turned and left.

The young students were puzzled and asked, "Sir, isn't the purpose of studying to be an official? Why don't you want to? We really can't figure it out."

"Some things are more important than glory and wealth. You can understand after experiencing it. You are still too young."

Song Yingxing stood up, leaving a slightly bent back.

At the same time, Zhou Jin and Qiqi appeared outside the school.

The three of them collided.

Song Yingxing stared at the two of them for a long time, and asked, "You two are not locals, and the clothes on your body are a bit special, how did you make them?"

Zhou Jin saluted respectfully.

"I have met Mr. Song. We came from later generations and specially visited Mr. Song."

Hearing this, Song Yingxing's eyes lit up.

"Fun, interesting."

"Heavenly creation, can it be useful in future generations?"

Zhou Jin nodded and said: "In later generations, "Tiangong Kaiwu" is called the world's first encyclopedia. It not only has outstanding achievements in industry and agriculture, but also is hundreds of years ahead of the West in natural science. Mr.'s contribution is indisputable, and is admired by future generations!"

"Not only that, Tiangong Kaiwu has been translated into more than ten languages ​​and spread widely overseas. Mr.'s name is world-renowned."

Song Yingxing frowned: "Westerners can also understand?"

"That's not necessarily good. Once the Westerners are strong, they will definitely invade China."

Zhou Jin swallowed.

A little sloppy, I didn't realize that Song Yingxing lived in the late Ming Dynasty, and also worked in Fuzhou and other places, and knew the power of Japanese pirates.

Fortunately, Song Yingxing didn't care too much.

Looking up at the sky, he muttered to himself: "Brother, brother Shaoying, did you hear that?"

"Our efforts were not in vain, and we have no regrets in this life."
