[Reward: Legendary 10, great man "Roger Bacon"]

Roger Bacon?

Ernes was slightly taken aback, and it took a while to remember who he was. He is Roger Bacon who has learned a lot of wonderful knowledge and is known as Doctor Strange. Bacon had a materialist thought that was very precious and rare in that era, and insisted that the most fundamental source of knowledge was experience. He believes that there are three ways to learn the truth, that is, authoritative judgment and experiment. Authority must be judged by reason, and judgment must be verified by experiment to be the truth. Therefore, human beings know the unknown "from sensory knowledge to rationality". The road, and "nothing can be fully understood without money", is a firm supporter and pioneer of real science.

His three works, which can also be translated as "Main Collection", "Between Collection" and "Three Collections", are three collections of knowledge that can almost be called encyclopedias. The content of the book "Main Collection" even includes astronomy, geography, optics, mathematics, astrology, alchemy philosophy, and a lot of knowledge such as gunpowder forming a rainbow, the theory of the earth's circle, and mechanical dynamics. But it was not until the nineteenth century that his works were taken seriously. It is a pity that people know that the two books "Bie Ji" and "San Ji" are still lost in the past six hundred years.

"If it's that bacon, it's not this time...Charles' heart moved.

Not sure how old the bacon that was born prematurely is now. If he is not too young, he can help himself to complete the task.

Charles's quest will require making steam engines and gunpowder weapons, followed by possibly a second part of the quest for Alchemy and Breeding. Bacon can help at least three of these four. In the original history, he taught himself to master the knowledge of mechanically propelling ships and vehicles, and also analyzed the ratio of gunpowder, which was only a few steps away from the precise formula. At the same time, Bacon was also the first one. After completing the task of killing Carloman, Charles got a lot of books on energy science—the old rules, which still had to be taught by himself. But at least the teaching materials are quite complete, there is a whole set of more than ten books "That's right, Your Majesty.

When Charles was deep in thought, Floros suddenly said: "Two days ago, I heard that two people gathered people in the east near Wallachia and wanted to sell knowledge. Are you interested in this matter? ?”

"Sell knowledge?"

Charles really became interested: "Who is it? What kind of knowledge did you sell?" Floros said in detail: "The two of them were originally merchants from Persia, and they sold some rare items from Persia, Eastern Egypt and Tang to Crowe. Dia and Pannonia regions. A few days ago, just a few days after the blood feast, they came to Claudia as usual to sell goods to an old nobleman who likes to collect rare things...You I also know that Bai "ah, I remember.

charles nodded

He remembered the old earl, the old man of the Hirsch family. Bai Lubo is his loyal supporter. He is over 60 years old this year and has four daughters but no son. Their family emblem is a white-faced deer. When he was young, he was a supervisor, and his daughter was taught by An. Now the worst one has become a clerk, and his eldest daughter in her forties is already a great intellectual. Not long ago, Charles took back land in the east on a large scale, and the two main beneficiaries were Du Juan and Bai Lubo. Charles asked curiously: "I remember that old man had a very violent temper.

"Well. When the earl asked them if there was anything new recently, they didn't come up with any goods. Instead, they claimed that they wanted the earl to 'take it from us' because he wanted to sell his knowledge.

"Sell knowledge?"

Charles asked in surprise: "How do you say it?" This is almost equivalent to saying that he wants to sell piety or truth. He couldn't help wondering, didn't the Solomons catch them?

"Yes, sire. For sale of knowledge—they sell it not only to earls. They sell it to commoners. They sell it to anyone who wants it.

Floros confirms: "They say they claim they sell knowledge because they think people value the hard-bought and not the free." That's right.

Charles immediately nodded and replied: "It is indeed the case. From ancient times to the present, this custom of people has never changed. What those two people said made him interested. Just based on this sentence, he can judge that, Those two people may not be grandstanding. Moreover, this kind of anti-common sense behavior can also become a kind of talk. It becomes people's anecdote and is promoted by everyone who knows about it. In other words, this itself is a kind of hype. And it is very Effective, highly successful hype. Because it even went straight to the king's ears.

And let Charles really have some interest in them.

Some time ago, Charles used Baymont's Book of Raziel to systematically study the history of these hundreds of years. His memory has also made remarkable progress under the catalysis of psionic energy.

he remembers very well

It takes Zoroastrianism as its state religion, and all citizens are divided into four classes: priests, soldiers, literati, and civilians. Clergy and literati combined accounted for about 2% to 2% of the entire population, while soldiers accounted for 5%. car. It can be said that they are the most educated group of people in this country, and they are also the absolute power holders.

The second class is the full-time military, who are completely off-duty during their service, and their families will also receive half of the tax deduction. Until they retire after five years in the war, their status will drop to the civilian level, and a second person in their family will be replaced to continue serving. Unless they can make great contributions and become officers, their status will be fixed. But once a large-scale battle occurs and the war spreads to several important cities in the mainland, then all soldiers who have served must participate in the battle unconditionally.

Literati can also be literally translated as "a person with knowledge". They were all born in the common class, but had received education, learned the same level of knowledge as the priests, and passed various examinations.

So they don't need to do hard work like civilians, and they don't need to serve in the military. The only thing they have to do is to do something that the priests are unwilling to do and need enough knowledge to complete. Their salaries are provided by the priests who hire them, and they are called "directors". The literati in the field who have not been hired need to find something to do by themselves. Such as classics... or writing books to sell, or teaching as a teacher. As for the common people, they are the large masses of the board factory except these three proletarian classes. Naturally, there is a distinction between high and low. For example, blacksmiths are more respected than grooms, and civilians who are hired to farm the land have a more stable life than those who hunt for a living.

If it is said that those two people are from Ilan Shahr, then they are likely to be intellectuals in the field. They are not favored among the Persians, but they are respected by the Fark or the Goths of knowledge. But can live very well.

Yeah, why don't they go goth? After all, Gothic is Roman orthodoxy.

He decided to take a look for himself and use the ability he got before.
