On the evening of the National Assembly, the atmosphere of the Shang Dynasty suddenly changed. The people were no longer "living and working in peace and contentment", but were striving to be the best.
The only thing discussed on that day was the political system. Around the core of the political system, officials of the Shang Dynasty, common people, merchants, and masters of cultivation, almost all walks of life participated in the discussion. However, one day was far from enough to solve these problems.
Fortunately, Li Xian was not prepared to complete the discussion in one day.
This National Congress was a turning point, and the Shang Dynasty would take it as a new starting point to reach new heights.
When night fell and the meeting was over, the people still did not leave. Many of them stayed in Xinghuo University and discussed the meeting overnight.
The newly completed teaching buildings of Xinghuo University were not open to the public, but some public places and pavilions were free to use. On this night, many new ideas and social groups were born in Xinghuo University.
After flying back to Anyang City Lord's Mansion at night, Li Xian also worked overnight. Everyone began to discuss the entire Yingzhou. A high-altitude topographic map of Yingzhou was spread out, with many country names, as well as the names of many important cities, mountains, rivers, etc. marked on it.
All the information on this map was obtained by the Shang Dynasty at great cost and through exploration. The sources of this information are very complex, including those provided by mercenaries, merchants, and specially sent people to explore.
But before Li Xian and others had time to discuss, someone came to report that the Crown Prince of Zhao was here to pay a visit.
It's already night, and you're still here to pay your respects? But Zhao State sent Ji Buxian's family this time, and Li Xian should meet them out of both emotion and reason.
After putting away the map, Li Xian met with the Crown Prince of Zhao in this study.
After some pleasantries, the Crown Prince of Zhao got straight to the point. "Brother Li, I'm here to ask for your advice. What is 'technology'? Some time ago, I suddenly had this idea and explained it a lot, but I always felt that I didn't grasp the core."
Before Li Xian could speak, Li Yuanming asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
The Crown Prince of Zhao hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't want to say anything; but when he saw Li Xian and the others looking at him, he finally said, "I think that so-called science is to use systematic means to understand the nature of the world and use the nature of the world to serve us. Therefore, I think the scope of science not only includes current industrial technology, etc., but can also interpret spiritual practice. Of course, if we want to extend the scope of science to include spiritual practice, it still needs to develop. This is what I understand as the essence of science."
Li Xian then smiled and said, "You are right. I also think it makes sense. But I have a few words for your reference."
As Li Xian spoke, he picked up a hard pen, tore off a piece of paper from an ordinary notebook, wrote a few words, and asked Yuan Yun to pass it to the Crown Prince of Zhao. Seeing that the Crown Prince of Zhao took it, Li Xian smiled again and said, "I'm sorry, the scene is rather simple, please don't mind."
"No, no..." The prince of Zhao quickly picked up the paper and looked at it. He saw eight words written on it: 'Wisdom, Exploration, Bravery, and Wisdom.'
After reading these words, the Crown Prince of Zhao looked at Li Xian with some doubt, but found that Li Xian's smile was very sincere and he was not trying to fool him.
