One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Xin thought for a while and then asked: "For this voyage, you should prepare more supplies, including pottery, ironware, porcelain, and cloth. When these things arrive on that land, if you encounter local people, you can make friends with them or make friends with them." Exchange things. There are few of you, so you must not be hostile to each other. Try to make good friends with each other, and prepare more fresh water. It is estimated that it will be difficult for you to supply fresh water in the first half of the month. Plant some soybeans on the boat so that you can still eat them. When it comes to vegetables, be sure to bring fishing tools to ensure that you don’t starve to death. Also bring more clay pots. Plant the crops you find in the pots and bring them back. It would be best if you can bring back seeds. The more you bring back, the better; also bring more medicinal materials, and I will assign two doctors to your fleet. If a sailor is sick, you can cure it if it can be cured. If not, you know what to do."

Lu Wenbin sighed: "Yes, my lord, I know what to do."

Li Xin nodded and said: "You must remember the names of all the dead sailors on this voyage. These people are all people with great achievements. As long as you come back, everyone in the fleet on this voyage will be rewarded."

Lu Wenbin replied: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates will try their best to bring everyone back alive."

Li Xin waved her hand: "Okay, go get ready. I will personally see you off when you set sail."

Lu Wenbin cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

Lu Wenbin left to prepare the supplies needed for the voyage. Three days later, all the supplies were ready, and Lu Wenbin and the sailors were ready to set sail. Li Xin personally came to the dock to see them off.

Li Xin stood on the dock. All the sailors shouted: "I believe you all know the purpose of this trip. On this voyage you will go to a distant place to bring back what we need for the revival of the Han people. No matter whether you can or not in the end, Those who come back alive will all be people with great achievements. Your names will definitely leave a mark in the history books. Do you have the confidence to complete the mission and come back alive!"

The sailors shouted loudly: "Yes."

Li Xin continued to shout: "Okay, for those of you who have made great contributions, I will give each of you one thousand taels of silver regardless of whether you come back in the end; the one thousand taels of silver that you didn't come back in the end will be given to you by someone." Family, your parents will be taken care of by a certain person until they die, your children will be raised by a certain person, and the money for education and literacy will be paid by a certain person. All of you are the heroes of our Han nation, and a certain person will kowtow to you here. Thank you. Everything you have done for the rejuvenation of the Han nation."

All the sailors were stunned when they saw Li Xin kowtow. Lu Wenbin hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Xin up and said: "My lord, you must not do this. This is what we should do."

Li Xin waved his hand: "No, you deserve this. You are the real heroes. I am thanking you on behalf of hundreds of millions of Han people. 35xs"

Lu Wenbin knelt down and said: "My lord, please rest assured that my subordinates will definitely complete the mission of this voyage and try to bring these sailors back alive."

All the sailors also knelt down and said: "Lord, please rest assured that we will definitely complete this voyage."

Li Xin helped Lu Wenbin up and said: "All officers and soldiers, please get up. I believe in you, and I will look forward to your safe return with your families as soon as possible. Okay, it's getting late, let's set off."

Li Xin gave the order and the voyage fleet slowly left the dock. Li Xin waited at the dock until the fleet could no longer be seen before leaving. Later generations recorded that the significance of this voyage was no less than that of Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang in the Western Han Dynasty, who cleared the Western Regions. It laid a solid food foundation for the later rejuvenation of the Han nation. Of course, this is all a story later.

After seeing off the voyage fleet, Li Xin returned home and began to sort out the knowledge he had written about his past lives. News came from Liu Yi that the land was almost being divided, and it was time for this knowledge that transcended this era to see the world.

A few days later, Li Xin called Liu Yi and several other Confucian representatives.

Li Xin first said: "Everyone, please take a seat first. I invite you here today to discuss important matters. Have you completed the land division work, Liu?"

Liu Yi replied: "Thanks to the master, most of it has been completed, and there is still a small part. We have left a dozen people to continue the remaining work. It is enough."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, you all should have seen the big box on the ground. This box contains knowledge that you have never seen before. Liu Yi, please take everyone to take a look first, and each of you can pick out what you feel. Interested learning, you have to teach the children while you are studying. In a few days, the two primary schools that have been completed will start teaching. You have to count the children in the whole city, and select a small number of children first. To go to school, of course the more than two hundred orphans in a certain mansion must be included."

Liu Yi clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Master, I'll see if I can get off."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, you guys take a look at the knowledge in the box first, and then we'll talk about it."

The Confucian scholars began to look through the books in the box, while Li Xin drank tea and waited for their reactions.

After a while, the expressions of the Confucian scholars became rich, some were surprised, some were solemn, and some were happy.

After a while, Li Xin said to Liu Yi: "Liu Yi, what do you think after reading this?"

Liu Yi scratched his head and said: "Master, these knowledge..." Liu Yi was a little confused and didn't know what to say.

Li Xin asked: "Is it true that most of these knowledge are beyond your knowledge?"

Everyone nodded: "Yes."

Li Xin said: "That's right. There are thousands of knowledges in the world, but it's not just what you learn. Confucianism cannot explain everything in the world. For example, why does this stone fall to the ground instead of going up to the sky? Birds? Why can we fly in the sky, but people can't? So there is a lot of knowledge in this world, and even the knowledge in a certain box cannot explain everything in this world, so you must broaden your horizons, think more, and learn more. When something happens, always ask yourself why, and you will discover a lot of interesting knowledge."

Everyone clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Master, we understand."

Li Xin said to Liu Yi: "You can take the Confucian scholars to carry the box away. When you go back, divide the books according to your personal interests. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me and I will discuss these knowledge with you."

Liu Yi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Master, I understand."

Liu Yi led everyone to move the box away so that Li Xin could meet each other. In the following days, the thoughts between these Confucian scholars would definitely clash fiercely.

After Liu Yi took everyone back, each Confucian scholar was assigned books that he was interested in. After getting the books, the Confucian scholars began to study. They were attracted by the new knowledge in it, and sometimes they forgot to eat and sleep. Everyone also exchanges books with each other and sometimes exchanges reading experiences together.
