In early November, the north wind blew.

Haizhou is prosperous because of the sea, and the strong sea breeze means that the busy commercial season has arrived.

Because the north wind blows, it is the time when the merchant ship goes south. If the northeast wind blows, it is the day when the sea ships departing from Goryeo arrive. The hunters and ginseng in Goryeo have just experienced the busiest summer and have accumulated countless fur, ginseng, and medicinal materials in their hands, all of which have to be transported to Haizhou.

However, among the Wu family sea ships that came by today, there are several particularly large and strong warships with a capacity of 5,000 yuan! They are the main force of the Wu family warship fleet, and they rarely appeared in Haizhou Bay in previous years.

But this year, the Wu family warship actually drove into Haizhou generously and docked directly on the dock of Tianya Town.

The docks in Tianya Town are also facing a great enemy at this moment. Many strong Wu family Baoding and Wu family Baoding drove from their respective farms at some time, holding shields and straight swords, carrying bows and arrows, completely blocking the surroundings of the docks.

Wu Yanzhen, the head of the Wu family's naval army, even went out personally, standing on the dock to direct a group of strong men who were darkened and strong, lifted heavy wooden boxes from the ship, and sent them directly to the newly opened Jiehe Daxiang Guo Jieku Haizhou Branch.

This warehouse is built on the edge of Linhai Village. It is a two-story building with blue bricks and black tiles, a five-bedroom facade, and all windows are equipped with solid wooden fences. Thick and solid wooden doors are installed on the front and rear portals facing the east and west sides.

In addition, there is also an underground floor of the warehouse, which is built according to the standards of brick and stone tombs. It is also extremely strong and is used to store real gold and silver!

Wu Haogu, Wu Yanen, Wu Yanchong, Hua Manshan, and Pan Xing'an and others who were in charge of this warehouse were standing at the entrance of the basement. At this time, they witnessed more than a dozen managers from Pan Xiao'an from Kaifeng Prefecture, the clerk, busy unboxing and checking gold and silver.

Each box of gold and silver transported from the Wu family warship must be carefully inspected, then repacked, sealed, and sent to the huge underground vault for storage.

By the way, this Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple Jieku is actually controlled by Wu Haogu's Republic of China and Pan Xiao'an's Gold and Silver Trail Shop. It is just the name of Daxiangguo Temple. Kaifeng Daxiangguo Temple does not hold a share, while Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple holds 20% of the shares.

The actual operation of the warehouse was the men sent by Pan Xiao'an. However, Wu Haogu still has a lot of say, and he is now a legend in the mall! Even Poly, who has always copied and imitated Wu Haogu's commercial route, is now full of success. Who dares to take his words as a warning?

However, Wu Haogu did not propose any clever strategy for the Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple in Haizhou. Instead, he gave a seemingly conservative guidance on hoarding gold and silver!

That is, to hoard gold and silver as much as possible into Haizhou’s depot, and for a long time.

Seeing boxes of gold and silver being sent into the vault, Wu Haogu's face showed a satisfied smile.

This time, the King of Goryeo really invested a lot and transported 860,000 taels of silver and 10,000 taels of gold, which was almost equivalent to one million coins.

This money was deposited as the deposit for the Goryeo Kingdom to purchase weapons from the Song Dynasty and was deposited into the warehouse controlled by Wu Haogu and Pan Xiao'an.

In addition to the millions of gold and silver, this warehouse also stores a lot of silk and silk transported from Kaifeng Prefecture, including 300,000 pieces, which are intended to be used to purchase rice and grain in Haizhou.

"Okay!" Seeing the last box of gold and silver transported into the underground vault, Wu Haogu laughed, "Wuzhou Mu, let's set off to Jiehe Market tomorrow."

"Okay, let's set off tomorrow."

Wu Yanchong still frowned. The money he brought this time was a little small, and I don’t know if he could get it as he wished?

...

Haizhou, Puyuan.

At the same time, all these remote points were in the back garden of the mansion where there were few visitors on weekdays, and somehow, the melodious sound of silk and bamboo sounded today.

Zhang Dun lived in seclusion and a guest came to visit today.

The visitor was the father-in-law, Lu Jiawen and Jian Xuchen, who had just come from Kaifeng Prefecture. Lu Jiawen was placed in Haizhou, while Jian Xuchen received the new official position of the Shipping Envoy of the Southeast Sixth Route in Kaifeng Prefecture, and was preparing to take office in Pingjiang (the Shipping Envoy is in Pingjiang), and accompanied his father-in-law to Haizhou.

I don’t know if it was because they were all degenerate people like Zhang Dun. After arriving in Haizhou, Lu Jiawen temporarily lived in Puyuan and was with Zhang Dun.

"Look at it, let's be mournful..."

Seeing Lu Jiawen's depressed look, Zhang Dun was also a little sad. He personally filled him with a glass of wine and said softly: "Wu Haogu can't be arrogant for too long."

"What?" Lu Jia asked and drank the things in the cup in one go. "Zihou, do you think he is going to be transported to the north and south?"

"It's hard to transport grain from the north and the south." Zhang Dun shook his head, filled himself with a glass of wine, and then looked at Jian Xuchen, "You can buy it if you only have a million stones."

One million stones are in Kaifeng Prefecture, Luoyang, and Guanzhong, but it is not a big number when it comes to Lianghuai, which produces rice and grain. If Wu Haogu is determined in advance, he can buy one million stones.

Even if Jian Xuchen was a South East Sixth Route Delivery Commissioner, he would have made some trouble with the canal transportation. But if Wu Haogu used the method of shipping, he would have no choice.

"Zihou," Lu Jia asked, "Don't keep it aside, tell me quickly."

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "He is going to fall into knowledge."

"Planted on knowledge?" Lu Jiawen sneered, "What is the knowledge of Wu? Is it the knowledge of painting or management?"

"You underestimate Wu's great ancient Chinese, right?" Zhang Dun stretched out his hand and took a thin thread-bound book from a concubine who was serving her intimately. The cover of the book contained Su Dongpo's inscriptions and practiced and proved theories.

"Let's take a look at this?" Zhang Dun smiled and handed the book to Lu Jia.

Lu Jiawen took the book and looked at the cover, "Practice proved that? Is this Su Dongpo's inscription?"

"Yes," said Zhang Dun, "You should have seen the set of things that are empirically tested from "Wenquxing"?"

"I've seen it, didn't that say that Lantian Mansion soldiers tried it?"

"It's not just a trial of the military soldiers?" Zhang Dun snorted, "but it can be used to test everything you know and to pursue the way of nature. The right and wrong of things that people know can only be tested and distinguished by the actual effect of use. The truth that cannot be tested by visible and observable methods cannot be verified to the authenticity, nor can it be regarded as the knowledge mastered by the world, but can only be regarded as an unknown hypothesis.

In the past, Confucius asked about the countless paths contained in the natural path that Lao Tzu had sought can only be tested and explored through visible and observable methods. Confucians who explored the way of nature should summarize their laws and explore their roots and essence through repeated practice of a certain path, and then they can call it the truth and the law of nature. Only then can they master a path of nature..."

This book "A Trial of Practical Proof" is a summary of the general positivist theory that Wu Haogu discussed and summarized with Su Hui, Su Guo, and Lu Jiawen's cousin Lu Haowen during this period. Of course, the main views of the general theory of positivism originated from Wu Haogu. However, Su Hui, Su Guo and Lu Haowen have made great contributions. Especially the Lu Haowen, who later joined the "Psychological Exploration" was a great scholar in history!

Wu Haogu was not a philosophy generation in later generations, so he could not come up with much "positivism" and "scientific methods", and could only put forward some programmatic content.

Lu Haowen derived the general theories proposed by Wu Haogu, and derived a series of sub-subjects such as "mathematical empirical", "astronomical empirical", "scientific empirical empirical", "material empirical empirical", "bird, beast, fish, insects, etc.", "medical empirical empirical", "historical empirical" and "geographic empirical". He also advocated the use of "empirical methods" to test and organize the knowledge in various books currently mastered by the Yuntai Academy... This is a huge project. Not to mention completion, as long as it is launched with great fanfare, it is equivalent to opening a new era of great development of Eastern science!

Not only is the goal of studying science, but it is to pursue the natural path of Confucianism! There are tools and methods for studying science, and of course positivism plus a little scientific method of summary and induction. There are also the division and research foundations for various subjects. The prototypes of the two "millennial universities" have been established, and research funds are also continuously flowing.

"Is he going to start a sect?"

Lu Jiawen's character is not very good, but his Confucianism is not bad. Of course, he knows what Wu Haogu has to do with?

In fact, most of the Confucian Confucians who were above the level of the Song Dynasty (not that they did well in the exam, but had high Confucianism skills) could see Wu Haogu’s ambition... He wanted to use positivism to explore the great way of Confucianism!

The so-called great way is the world view. Although Confucius asked for the Tao for a lifetime, he did not study Christianity, and Buddhism compiled a story that cannot be falsified. Therefore, the great way of Confucianism is lacking and is easily taken advantage of by foreign religions.

But at the same time, the Confucian Tao is another problem that needs to be solved. It is a problem left by Confucius to future generations!

Wu Haogu now shows the methods to answer Confucius' questions positivism and scientific methods.

In addition, he also held Su Dongpo's banner and established a school that used "positivism and scientific methods" as tools to explore the Confucian way of nature.

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "That's right, it's just a sect that has begun... and it's a school that offended the Three Sects! He will soon become the target of public criticism. If you don't have to do anything, he will have to call Sai Mo Xingzi to drown him!"
