Chapter 987 I'm in a dilemma
The ancestors in front of the sky curtain couldn't help but look at Shen Kuo on the sky curtain several times.
If the little immortal hadn't told them, they really wouldn't have realized that Shen Kuo was capable of leading troops in battle.
No one who had the same purpose and period as Shen Kuo was found, so Shen Kuo actually hid his incompetence?
No, when did he fight? Could it be later?
Great, great, you are trying to get them to compete with each other, right? Who do you want to kill?
However, when I saw that my colleagues were so capable and talented, I felt very nervous.
I felt that if I continued like this, I would definitely be abandoned. That couldn't be right. I had to roll it all up.
Song Renzong and Song Shenzong were so happy that they could not stop smiling. They had such a good minister in their hands, and the Song Dynasty would become better and better in their hands.
It will definitely be better than other dynasties in the future.
Fortunately, the emperors of other dynasties did not know what the two were thinking, otherwise they would have definitely ridiculed them.
"Ah? This, I don't know either," Shen Kuo was also confused. Although he knew some martial arts, he didn't want to be a military general. Did he lead troops to fight in the future?
However, if the court needs him, he can lead troops to fight.
Since he has led troops to fight, it means that there is really no one left to use. Alas, is it true that the great Song Dynasty has no generals available?
Shen Kuo couldn't help but ponder. It seemed that all those on the list from the same period as him were civil officials, and there were no military generals. It seemed that his Song Dynasty really valued civil officials over military officials too much.
But now it's good. Taizu has issued an order. Now military generals and civil officials are equally valued and no one side will be favored.
If we don't make use of military generals, will we end up with the Jingkang Shame?
This is something they cannot accept at all.
"Little fairy," Shen Kuo called Li Wu and looked at her with a questioning look.
"This will be talked about later, it will be talked about later. Then I will continue to talk about your deeds, Senior Shen Kuo," Li Wu said. Shen Kuo nodded, not in a hurry because the little immortal would talk about it later. He was still very curious about how he went to the battlefield and what happened afterwards.
"Senior Shen Kuo, your courtesy name is Cun Zhong, and your nickname is Meng Xi Zhang Ren.
Mr. Shen Kuo, you were born into a family of officials in Qiantang, Hangzhou. You have been well-read since childhood. When you were young, you followed your father to visit famous mountains and rivers across the country.
This is indeed a good thing. I have seen many places since I was a child, so my horizons are naturally different.
I got in touch with the society and gained more knowledge, which really fulfilled the saying "read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles".
Senior Shen Kuo, you have been weak since childhood, and because you studied too hard, you often need to take medicine to regulate your body.
This requires a balance between work and rest, Senior Shen Kuo," Li Wu looked at Shen Kuo and said, studying is indeed very hard, she knows it herself as she has studied.
"Don't worry, little immortal, I have recovered long ago," Shen Kuo said with a smile, but he was still grateful for the little immortal's concern.
"That's good. Only when you are healthy can you be truly healthy. If you are not healthy, what else can you do? Nothing."
The three of them nodded and listened. They knew this, but many people have some minor health problems.
Later on, it became a serious problem. Alas, there is nothing we can do about it.
Many times we have no choice.
"The Qiantang Shen family made great contributions to medicine, and they have a family pharmacy book called 'Boji Fang'. So, influenced by your family, you, Senior Shen Kuo, also began your study of medicine by collecting medical prescriptions.
In 1050 AD, Mr. Shen Kuo stayed at your uncle's house and benefited greatly from your uncle Xu Dong's works and collection of books. At that time, you began to develop a strong interest in military affairs.
So it is normal that you can lead troops to fight, because only when you are interested can you watch, understand and learn.
For many things, you can only learn faster, better, easier and simpler if you like and are interested in them.
"Actually, I didn't read much, I just learned a little bit," Shen Kuo said modestly. Well, he would also study from time to time, mainly because he was really interested in these things.
When the ancestors in front of the sky heard what Shen Kuo said, they just wanted to roll their eyes and be humble. Who doesn't know who?
"I know that you ancestors are all humble. All of us Chinese are humble. It's normal," Li Wu waved his hand. The Chinese are the most humble. It's not that they are not powerful, they are just humble and afraid of hurting others.
"Once, Senior Shen Kuo, your father, Shen Zhou, was seriously ill. At that time, Senior Fan Zhongyan and Senior Wang Anshi, both close friends of your father, went to the Shen residence to visit your father.
At that time, Senior Shen Kuo met the two seniors and asked for their advice on the strange geographical phenomena that he had seen in various places.
However, everyone has their own expertise. It is obvious that predecessors Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi had little knowledge of geography and could only admit that "I don't know what I don't know."
"Hahaha, Senior Shen Kuo, you've really put Senior Fan Zhongyan and Senior Wang Anshi in a difficult position, and they don't quite understand this," Li Wu laughed unkindly.
She thought that Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi were both confused at the time. They thought Shen Kuo wanted to ask about some literary matters, but he turned out to ask about geography, which really embarrassed them.
Shen Kuo himself was a little embarrassed because he was still young at the time, and he had already known the names of his predecessors Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi.
At that time, I thought they were very powerful and should be omnipotent, so that's why I asked them.
However, when he heard the two seniors admit that they couldn't do it, he was stunned for a moment and realized that they were not omnipotent.
Zhang Heng and Xu Xiake also laughed. The little immortal's smile was so contagious that they couldn't help but laugh along.
Wang Anshi in front of the sky curtain didn't want to speak anymore and remained silent. He was also stumped by the question at that time.
Fan Zhongyan on the other side stroked his beard and laughed too. It had been many years ago.
Li Wu laughed enough before continuing, "In 1051 AD, your father passed away. In 1054 AD, you, Shen Kuo, entered the government under your father's influence and served as the chief clerk of Shuyang County, Haizhou. You managed the Shu River, developed farmland, and achieved considerable political achievements.
After the project was completed, Senior Shen Kuo resigned from his position and came to Ningguo County, where your brother Shen Pi was in office, to prepare for the imperial examination.
In 1063 AD, 32-year-old Shen Kuo passed the imperial examination and later worked as an editor and proofreader in Zhaowenguan.
And in his spare time he studied astronomy and calendar.
Later, Mr. Shen Kuo was promoted to the position of proofreader in the imperial library, where he had the opportunity to access the royal collection of books, which further enriched his knowledge.
However, in the same year, your mother passed away, and you resigned from your official position to escort the coffin back to Qiantang.
Three years later, Senior Shen Kuo completed his mourning period and went to the capital to report on his work. He was highly regarded by Emperor Shenzong of Song and Wang Anshi, and was appointed as the Inspector of the Criminal Affairs Department of the Central Secretariat.
