I am the king of the dead

In the definition of gewuzhizhi, it is further determined that the principle of wuzhizhi, observing objective things, summarizing objective laws, and combing them into formalized, systematic, testable, and reproducible systematic knowledge is the essence of gewuzhizhi. itself.

Li Binyan looked at his entry draft with a burst of silly joy, then carefully sealed it, handed it over to the post office, and sent it to the capital.

"Kun Yu Ge Zhi" has a total of sixteen volumes, of which twelve volumes are widely distributed, and four volumes are specially used by craftsman colleges. It is not to limit knowledge, but the last four volumes are also available to craftsmen.

It took only ten days for the "Kunyu Gezhi" written by the craftsman headed by Chang Youde and the manuscript written by Li Binyan to be sent to the capital. shortened by five days.

And when Zhu Qiyu received this memorandum, he was not in the lecture hall, but in the ten calendar bureaus of Qin Tianjian.

Xu Dun, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, never dared to disobey the holy orders after seeing that the previous supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, Peng Deqing, had died on both sides.

The previous Qin Tianjian Zheng Peng Deqing, a member of Wang Zhen's party, often spread some strange rumors about divination. He was frightened to death in the sky prison of Beizhen Fusi, but His Majesty Zhu criticized the beheading and abandoned the market. The edict had already arrived at Jin Yiwei, and the loyal Jin Yiwei beheaded the dead Peng Deqing again.

After that, Xu Dun never said that there was a vision in the sky. Even when Zhu Qiyu went south to suppress the rebellion, a big star fell to the ground, and the meteor streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire capital. Xu Dun only dared to say it was an auspicious omen.

Xu Dun is a sensible person.

Xu Dun's approach made the courtiers quite dissatisfied. How could they fool His Majesty, let alone fooling His Majesty?

The ten calendar bureaus under the jurisdiction of the Qin Tianjian are opposite the Guozijian and the Gongyuan. There is a statue of Mo Di in the courtyard of the Qintianjian. The students of the Guozijian are extremely dissatisfied with the statue of Mo Di and have nothing to do.

But today, Zhu Qiyu came to Qin Tianjian, and he came to send the statue!

The first calendar bureau is the calendar bureau, with a total of five statues.

The first to be erected were Gan De of Qi State and Shi Shen of Wei State during the Warring States Period.

Shi Shen's "Astronomy" recorded the five planets of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth and recorded the satellites of Jupiter. Gander's "Astrology" recorded the movement and laws of the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and discovered the retrograde of fire, Mercury, and Venus. Inverse and other astronomical phenomena.

"Astronomy" and "Astrology" are collectively called "Gan and Shi Celestial Book", which is the first astronomical work in China and records the world's first star table.

The third statue of Liyuan is Zhang Heng, who invented the seismograph and Zhang Heng who invented various astronomical instruments. The statue in Liyuan deserves its name.

The fourth is like Zu Chongzhi. Zu Chongzhi calculated pi to the seventh decimal place for the first time in mathematics. But in terms of achievements, Zu Chongzhi is even an astronomer. It took more than 400 years for the Ming Dynasty to be abolished.

The fifth image is Guo Shoujing, who is an immortal figure from the Academy of Astronomy and Calendar. He experienced the heavens, latitudes and earth, astronomical instruments, observations of the four seas, and the "Shoushi Calendar" that was still in use until the seventh year of Jingtai. , the most dry is water control.

The second calendar bureau is the water calendar bureau, and the first is like Dayu, who is the most virtuous achievement in water control.

The second and third images are Sichuan Lord Li Bing and his son. Li Bing and his son's achievements in governing Dujiangyan are a highlight of the Central Plains Dynasty. The father and son are also Erlang gods appointed by Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty.

The fourth portrait is Li Daoyuan, forty volumes of annotations to the Water Classics, with only a few phrases and characters, which are wonderful in ancient and modern times. The fifth portrait is Pei Xiu, the author of "Yugong Regional Map" and the originator of the study of maps.

Zhu Qiyu cast a total of fifty statues for the top ten calendar bureaus, with the purpose of establishing a school.

Mo Zhai, the great son of the Mohist school, is undoubtedly a great talent, but he himself was frugal, and he did not set up a temple or sect after his death, which directly led to the three points of the Mohist school, and finally lost the confidence to confront the Confucianism.

Of course Zhu Qiyu respects Mo Di very much, but the reality is like this, if he refuses to set up a temple statue, he will be clean after death, and in the end his own ideas will also be clean after death.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a Confucian temple and a Wu temple. Zhu Qiyu set up a temple in the ten major calendar bureaus to offer sacrifices, with a total of 51 people, which is called the calendar temple.

Zhu Qiyu wandered back and forth in the courtyard of Qin Tianjian, found a place to rest, and read Li Binyan's entry draft for a long time.

In Zhu Qiyu's understanding, Li Binyan's study of things to gain knowledge, that is, the principle of poor things, is the word science of later generations.

"Bring a pen!" Zhu Qiyu arrived excitedly, and decided to use what Li Binyan wrote to give Qin Tianjian a word.

Investigating things to gain knowledge, that is, the eight characters of Wuqiongli, will be engraved on the bluestone and placed in front of the gate of the ten calendar bureaus, and everyone who enters and exits can see it.

Zhu Qiyu put down his pen and said: "Xu Jianzheng, I heard that you have a lot of good things here recently, present them for me to have a look, if they are well done, I will give them the name of auspiciousness, and there will be a generous reward."

Qin Tianjian Zheng Xu Dun hastily bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, please take a look."

The astronomers held the objects covered with pieces of red cloth and stood around. Xu Dun uncovered the red cloth and continued to introduce: "This is a degree ruler, a ground ruler, and a square-minute-round ruler. , One centimeter to ten feet. And here are the rules, two feet, three feet, two screws turn closed and closed, single screw turned closed and appointed, make screw transformation, move far and draw close, use big to make small and small to make big , this is a double-wing drill, turning iron pliers and other things."

These are all tools, widely used in various surveying and mapping, and they are the most precise ruler drill pliers in Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction. He has invested a lot in Qin Tianjian, endorsed the establishment of a temple in politics, and provided great material guarantee in financial affairs. The appearance of this set of tools made Zhu Qiyu quite excited. Surprisingly, the deal has already been earned.

Another group of astronomers came forward, and Xu Dun led His Majesty to turn back again and said: "Your Majesty, this is a slanted wheel, this is a flywheel, this is a row wheel, this is a star wheel, etc. There are [-] types in total. Your Majesty, please." Take a look."

This batch is all gears, all kinds of gears. Xu Dun didn't introduce too much, because the Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty is a master in this field. He has made mechanical clocks from casting spring steel to pulling spring bars himself. , naturally know the role of these things.

Zhu Qiyu looked at these eighteen kinds of gears, walked and stopped, looked and looked again, and knew that after reading No.18, he still had something to say: "Okay, very good!"

"Reward! Great reward!"

Xing'an flicked his whisk and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an order: Reward! Great reward!"

Zhu Qiyu didn't do those fake things, he did a good job, he was rewarded with real gold and silver, and soon five boxes of silver coins were carried to the courtyard of Qin Tianjian.

Qin Tianjian and the ten calendar bureaus, everyone rewards fifty silver coins.

Zhu Qiyu put his left hand on his waist, and made a gesture of reaching out with his right hand. Looking at Xu Dun, he asked curiously, "Is there anything else? Are there any other good things?"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were full of longing, according to what Chen Xun said: the emperor must be unpredictable, he must not be eager and ambitious, and he will be used by people with ulterior motives.

Zhu Qiyu is not afraid of being used by others, as long as the things he tosses out are useful, he can cheat some funds, Zhu Qiyu is not short of money.

Xu Dun took a deep breath, and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "The "Da Tong Li" was set at the beginning of the country, and it was actually Guo Shoujing's "Shou Shi Calendar" in the Yuan Dynasty. There was no increase or loss in 87."

"Since the calendar was made in the 18th year of the Yuan Dynasty, the 18th year of the Yue Dynasty was August of the third year of Dade. It was already eaten but not eaten, and it was eaten again in June of the sixth year. Yu, how about a law-abiding person?"

"If we follow the old ways today, we will not be able to make the same mistakes in the future."

"Beilen, go to the almanac!"

Bei Lin was an astronomer who followed Li Binyan to watch the stars at the Star Observatory in Songjiang Prefecture. Li Binyan returned to Beijing to report on his work and brought Bei Lin back to the Qin Tianjian in the capital.

Chapter 6 Necessary Conditions for Transformation of Small Peasant Economy

Zhu Qiyu is full of expectations for this almanac. He hopes that the traditional calendar of Ming Dynasty will have great changes in this almanac.

Belin is a very young astronomy student. It was the first time for the delicate-looking Belin to meet the emperor. He came to the emperor with an almanac and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I respectfully invite you to read it!"

The almanac is the biggest achievement of the top ten calendar bureaus since the establishment of Jingtai four years ago.

Zhu Qiyu took the almanac, flipped through a few pages, and asked full of doubts: "The catalogue?"

"Catalogue." Belin said nervously.

The almanac compiled by Belin is all-encompassing, with a total of 46 types and 130 seven volumes. It is divided into six basic items and six items of sections. Table), Fashu (the mathematical method used to calculate the calendar), Faqi (astronomical instruments), Huitong (common and differences between the Central Plains and the Western Regions calendar), Fadi (the many influences of the calendar on Ming Dynasty), and the sixth order of the festival is Correcting the perpetual calendar of the Datong calendar.

It can be seen that the main purpose of Belling compiling this almanac is not only to maintain and revise the Datong calendar that has been used for more than [-] years, but also to establish a formalized, systematic, testable and repeatable calendar. existing system of knowledge.

Bei Lin once accompanied Li Binyan to look up at the starry sky in Songjiang Mansion, and their understanding of knowing things is the same as the principle of poor things.

"This almanac introduces the concept of the earth, Your Majesty, the earth..." Belin tentatively explained the concept of the earth.

Belin was a little nervous. Convincing His Majesty that there is a ball under everyone's feet is not very reliable in itself. How can a person stand firm on the ball?Why are you standing on a ball?If it's a ball, if you stand on the back of the ball, will everything fall down?

These are all questions that Beilene can't explain at all, but he must tell His Majesty with certainty that the ground under his feet is just a ball. Although this is hard to believe, it is the fact that Beilene dare not deceive the Lord.

Just like the United States of later generations, 2000% of adults believe that there are angels, and [-] million people believe that the earth is flat.

In this era of Ming Dynasty, telling the emperor that there is a ball under his feet is really appalling.

Zhu Qiyu was a science student in the 21st century when he was not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This was common sense at that time. He said with a normal expression: "It's a ball. There is a globe in my imperial study. It was used in military battles. I know the latitude and longitude, and some people want to set the central axis of my Tai'an Palace as the 0 longitude line."

"Could it be possible for me to turn around, from the eastern hemisphere to the western hemisphere?"

Zhu Qiyu's tone was very gentle. When he was not losing his temper, he always made people feel refreshed, and it also relieved Belin's nervousness.

Belin still lowered her head, but her eyes were as big as copper bells. He thought he would have to waste a lot of words to explain the reason, but he didn't expect His Majesty to understand better than he imagined.

This saves a lot of hassle.

"The sixth section of the festival includes the solar position, which is the position of the sun in the sky throughout the year; the fixed stars, which are the positions of the bright stars in the sky; the lunar orbit, which is the method of calculating the position of the moon; the conjunction of the sun and the moon, which is a solar eclipse. The lunar eclipse; the five latitude stars, the movement of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and five latitude stars; the five-latitude star rendezvous, the relative position of the five latitude stars changes, this is the sixth eye of the festival." Belin said carefully.

He hoped that His Majesty was still wise and natural, and he didn't need to explain too much, he really didn't know how to introduce the content to laymen.

Especially the last section of the five-star rendezvous.

According to Belin's observation, he found that maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe the sun is the center of the universe, and the earth is just a star revolving around the sun like the pentagram.

This kind of observation was so frightening that Belin dared not write it in the almanac.

The relative position of the stars in the sky remains unchanged. As long as the star map is made, it can be well determined which stars are constant and which are stars that change throughout the year.

With the star map, there is a reference for the trajectory of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

And in Belin's observation, he was horrified to find that only by explaining the earth as the same movement as gold, wood, water, fire, earth and five latitude stars can explain some astronomical phenomena. status.

It's like turning the earth under your feet into a ball. Da Ming is only a part of the ball, not even in the center. It is like an impact on the value of the Central Plains as the center of the earth since ancient times.

The earth is not even the center of the universe, the sun is.

Zhu Qiyu flipped through the catalog, and seeing Belin's fearful expression, he knew that this very talented young astronomer might have discovered something shocking about the truth of the world, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.

He smiled and said: "Boldly guess, carefully verify, when you rule out all impossible situations, the rest, no matter how unbelievable, are facts."

"Ah?" Beilen raised her head dully and looked at His Majesty with puzzled eyes. Is the Holy Son of Heaven trying to instigate him to deviate?

"Did you find anything? Come forward and tell me." Zhu Qiyu asked Belin to take three steps forward.

There is at least five steps between Beilin's face saint and the emperor, which is a safe distance. If Beilin has evil intentions, whether it is Xing'an or Lu Zhong, they will subdue him immediately.

Belin took three steps forward, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, maybe the sun is the center of the universe, not the earth."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized why Belin was so terrified.

"Beilen, we think your idea is very good. Who stipulated that the earth is the center of the universe? Let it go, everything is up to me." Zhu Qiyu held the almanac in his hand and said, "Where is Xu Dun?"

"The minister is here." Xu Dun hurriedly stepped out and bowed his head and said.

Zhu Qiyu crossed his hips and said quite complacently: "There are too few people in the top ten calendar bureaus! Sixty astronomy students are really not enough, please come in more."

"Tentatively set [-], together with Lecture Hall, Lecture Hall, Lecture Hall, Heroine Hall, Tongshi Hall, it should not be called Maritime Hall now, the fixed amount is [-]."

"Qin Tian Supervisor has meritorious service in cultivating the calendar, and will be rewarded with a medal of extraordinary merit. If one should be rewarded, you, Cheng Jing, will be in charge of supervising it."

Cheng Jing came out, bowed his head and shouted: "I receive the order."

Beilen was not the only one who wrote the Qigong card. There are nearly a hundred people in the entire Qin Tianjian, and more than 60 astronomers have contributed. How to divide the credit has already been decided, and His Majesty does not need to worry about it.

All this makes His Majesty do everything by himself, and they are also in charge of ceremonies. What do they want these ministers to do?

All participants are rewarded, based on the fifty silver coins of the first merit card, except for the reward of real gold and silver, and there is also a big gift bag of the first merit card.

Xu Dun looked distressed, hesitated to speak, and shouted loudly: "I am waiting to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

All the Qin Tianjian officials and Tianwen students who were waiting at the side shouted at the sea: "I am waiting to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Zhu Qiyu discovered the subtlety of the atmosphere. Adding up the two rewards, this is a reward of one hundred silver coins per person, which is roughly equivalent to Tian Wensheng's four-year salary. Two head rewards, this is really a generous reward.

But these people didn't feel that kind of ecstasy at all, and they were a little bit worried.

There is obviously a problem with this, but Zhu Qiyu didn't ask directly.

Zhu Qiyu rode his horse back to the lecture hall, where he was still working, still teaching in the lecture hall, still inspecting military horses every day, and still writing notes until late at night.

In comparison, being an emperor like Ji Li Wang Zhu Qizhen is indeed very easy, the world is dominated by one person, and billions of trillions are supported.

Laziness is human nature, except for becoming a captive, everything is fine.

Those eighteen kinds of gears, ruler gauge drill pliers, and 130 seven volumes of "Jingtai Almanac" followed Zhu Qiyu back.

Zhu Qiyu returned to the Imperial Study Room, glanced at the spirit card, and asked, "Xing'an, what happened to Qin Tianjian today? Do you think I didn't reward enough?"

Xing'an gave a sudden shock, making His Majesty think that Qin Tianjian was arrogant and resentful, so the days of Qin Tianjian couldn't be better? !

He hurriedly said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, how dare you slander?"

"Actually, the "Jingtai Almanac" was recently completed. Some people think that the Jingtai Almanac is a bit too deviant. The earth is a ball, and it is drawn with lines. It is really shocking."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized that the officials in the court were not just Chen Xun, who was a conservative school, such a deviant thing, above the court, there were many critics, and it was no problem.

After the geocentric theory was put forward, the Pope of Rome burned many heretics to death.

Qin Tianjian is just an official from the fifth rank, and there is no place to sit at the big banquet, so he has to stand up to eat.

Which of the conservatives in the court is not in a high position?

The six ministers are of the second grade, but if anyone speaks, Qin Tianjian will have to go around.

It's not surprising that Xu Dun, five subordinate officials and many other officials were flustered and worried. It's not surprising that Xu Dun, Bei Lin and others were worried even with Zhu Qiyu's miraculous card to suppress evil.

"A few days ago, the Qin Tianjian leaked water, thanks to the discovery in time, otherwise the almanac would have been delayed for some time." Xing Anyou felt uneasy, and carefully explained it to the officials of the Qin Tianjian.

The life of Qin Tianjian can be described as disgusting.

Qin Tianjian, who was originally required to perform the important function of induction between heaven and man, surrendered to the emperor after the previous supervisor died twice, and was hated by the court.

Later, after the statue of Mo Di was installed, it was even disliked by all Confucian scholars.

Now that he is so deviant, saying that the earth is a ball, if His Majesty is dissatisfied with Qin Tianjian again, Qin Tianjian's life can only be said to be happy.
