"Your Royal Highness, thank you for giving Mazdak the legal status ......"
Fries said to Li Lu in stiff Chinese, and he gave Li Lu a deep half-bow, this important figure of Mazdak insisted on going to the Hajj to Li Lu after refusing Di Qing's official position, and finally met the "virtuous king" in his mind in Connecticut City.Li Lu looked at this ascetic-like Persian old man, he admired it very much, if he was replaced, he would not be able to be like this old man, speaking for the lowest poor people all his life, for this Persian old man, Li Lu still knows something, Fries is not a pure Persian, he is a Greek-Persian half-breed, don't look at his superficial respect for Ahura Mazda, but in fact he is greatly influenced by the ancient Greek Epicurean school, it can be said that he is the last Epicurean heir now, But it is such a character, but he has no memory of his existence in the original time and space where Li Lu lived, and Li Lu can only use a parallel world to explain the existence of this Fries.In addition, as far as Li Lu knows, he is in a relationship with Chara Duster.
The biggest disagreement in Adat is about the origin of Ahura Mazda.
Adat believed that Ahuramazda was born of heaven and earth, while he believed that Ahuramazda was cultivated by mortals.When he learned that the gods revered by the Prairie Dao were all cultivated, this Friess was immediately excited, didn't this prove his rightness?"
Dear Monsieur Fries, you are a famous sage of Persia, may I ask why you came to the city under my rule?"
Li Lu said with a smile."
Your Royal Highness, I have come to see you, on the one hand, to thank you for providing us with Mazdak to protect us from being wiped out by tyrants, and on the other hand, I have come to study your oriental wisdom.....
"Solon said that you must learn when you are old, not to mention that after reading the works of many of your Chinese sages, I am deeply inspired, I want to study it well......."
Fries learned Chinese from Ye Muyi's side, although he spoke more bluntly, he could already understand some Chinese books, After studying several vernacular versions of Chinese classics given by Ye Muyi, Fries felt that Chinese culture was incomparably vast, even more profound and great than the Greco-Persian philosophical system that he had always prided himself at."
Your Highness, I have found in many of your sages' texts theories that are consistent with our Mazdaks, such as this Datong thought.......
"and the great sage named Mo Zhai, a generation of logic masters who can be compared to Aristotle.......""
Hehehe, of course, Chinese culture is broad and profound, and I am also studying....... many of my statecraft theories are developed on the basis of the theories of these sages....."
Li Lu naturally boasted about his own doctrine."
Your Highness, the Fries know that you are very good to your people, so the Fries intend to withdraw from politics......
Fries pray that you will give me a place to study in peace, and that I will write a book of what I have learned all my life, and let people know that a man named Fries has appeared in this world....."
Fries saw the affluent life of ordinary Jiankun people, and he thought that this Li Lu was the "Mirat" that the Mazdaks diligently sought, the human envoy of Ahura Mazda, and he brought the Mazdak of Khorasan to the rule of the human envoy, then his political mission had been completed, and the rest of his time should be devoted to learning."
This is easy, I am going to build a comprehensive senior school, and when the time comes, Mr.
Fries can go and teach, and you can teach students while doing your studies."
Li Lu laughed, this is a university scholar, and he should make full use of it, "But I don't know what Mr. is going to focus on?"
”"Your Royal Highness, Fries thank you for your generosity, Fries is ready to continue to study the logic of the two sages, Aristotle and Mo Zhai, and I also have some research on the mechanics pioneered by Archimedes, and I also know a little about mathematics....."
Fries said confidently."
You're talking about Archimedes, but the Archimedes who discovered the principle of buoyancy?"
Li Lulu stood up suddenly, ouch, I have seen the baby, this Fries is not simple."
Your Highness, you also know Archimedes' buoyancy principle?"
Fries was also excited, he really didn't expect that there were kings in the world who liked science."
Hehehe, isn't it just that the object placed in the liquid is subjected to an upward buoyant force, and its magnitude is equal to the weight of the liquid discharged by the object?
My teacher taught me ......."
Li Lu said with a smile, he learned physics very well in his previous life."
Your Highness, you, how do you know so much?"
Fries was also excited, and it was a blessing for them to have such a king who valued learning.Li Lu and Fries talked about speculation, the two were very suitable for filming, and the two even talked about the composition of the world, "Your Highness, Democritus said that the original or fundamental elements of all things are atoms and voids.And the Greek meaning of the atom is indivisible, there are no gaps inside the atom, it is solid, inaccessible, and therefore indivisible, and Democritus believed that the atom is eternal, immortal and immortal; Atoms are infinite in number; Atoms are in constant motion....How do you say that atoms can still be divided?
”Fries was a staunch proponent of the indivisibility of atoms, arguing when Leo said that the world was made up of matter smaller than atoms.Heraclitus also said that the primitive unity is constantly moving and changing, and never stops.Its creation is destruction, and destruction is creation.According to Heraclitus's theory, how could atoms be eternal?
”Li Lu retorted, "Everything in the world is opposed and united, I don't believe that the atom is indivisible, in my opinion, the atom can continue to be divided......"
"Your Royal Highness, although your status is noble, but in the face of learning, Fries is unwilling to bow his head, so let our argument be left to future generations to study...""
Fries, as far as I know, the Greek school is almost lost, you should be the last heir, right?"
Lelu asked Freese.Fries looked at Li Lu with some sadness, "Your Highness, although what you said is a bit excessive, but it is almost the same, since Hypatia was executed, there has been no soil for learning on the Roman Empire, and since then, those of us who are unwilling to compromise with the Christianity have no choice but to choose Persia, but the Zoroastrianism on the Persian side also secretly restricts us......
There are only a hundred scholars who still hold out, and almost all of them are among us Mazdaks......"
Fries said with some sadness.Li Lu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, in his previous life, he read a sentence, after the rise of the Roman Empire and the fall of ancient Greece, science died.Ancient Rome did achieve a lot of achievements in technology, but in terms of science, it was not only inferior but also barbaric compared to ancient Greece.After the Romans ruled Europe, although they sat on top of the brilliant scientific achievements of the Greeks, they failed to build on it, but on the contrary pulled science backwards.On two occasions, the Romans burned a large number of precious scientific texts stored in Alexandria, once as a result of war, when 500,000 manuscripts were burned.On another occasion, 300,000 manuscripts were burned to suppress heresy that did not believe in Christianity.Suffering such severe devastation, Alexandria, as the world's academic center, has since been in academic decline, and scientific culture has sought a way to survive in the ebb.When Emperor Constantine of Rome converted to the Christians, he used all the power of the empire as a tool against science.He destroyed libraries and museums, burned a large number of pagan books, and staged a scandalous drama of "book burning and pit Confucianism" in Western history.After Rome split into Eastern and Western Rome, the Byzantine Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Justinian, banned pagans and non-believers from holding university positions and confiscated their property.In this way, all scientific achievements are destroyed.The religion of the Friends of Ancient Rome completely dominated the spirit of the people of the late Roman period, and people no longer had to be amazed by the mysteries of nature, no need to ask any questions of natural science, and no need to conduct theoretical research and experimental exploration of nature.Because, as long as you convert to the religion, all problems will be solved by the Lord Almighty.At this time, religion pervades the people, science can no longer breathe a breath of fresh air, politics inevitably descends into chaos, internal corruption, foreign invasions, agricultural slaves and peasants shake the power of the country.It can be said that when Hypatia was brutally executed by the Kiyo mob, ancient Greek science fell into a complete drum, and those scholars who refused to submit to the mercy of Kiyo escaped from Eastern Rome and came to the Persian Empire, where they survived, but only survived, because the Persian Shahansha and Zoroastrian priests did not attach importance to science.Fortunately, the Mazdaks sheltered them, according to the original historical development, it should be the Arab Empire that accepted them tolerantly, but in this time and space, there is no shadow of this empire at all, and the Bedouins are still diehard loyalists of the Persian Empire, so this heavy responsibility has to be shouldered by Li Lu."
Fries, you tell Ctesiphon about it, just say that I am willing to provide them with the best place and conditions for research, and invite them to break leaves......."
Li Lu said to Fries, Li Lu thought about it, he wanted to carry out a good hybrid of Chinese and Western primitive science, and see what could come out.There is a reason why Li Lu thinks so, because he also sent people to the Central Plains to search for the heirs of the Mo family and the Gong Loser family......
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Great Prince!"
”Fries said excitedly.Li Lu laughed, he really didn't expect that he would find a treasure!
