Wanli Xinming

Chapter 221 Consort
Compared with the rule in the north and south of Myanmar, there were many difficulties due to the small number of Han people and officials.Zhu Yijun, who already had children around his knees in the Forbidden City, found that if he wanted to bring Myanmar into Han territory and achieve long-term peace and stability, there would be another big hole in the finances that had just improved. Twice, but this feeling is not very good.

Although he felt that he had become poor again, Zhu Yijun was relieved that the contradiction between man and land in the entire empire had been greatly eased.One third of the water conservancy project for the reconstruction of the two rivers has been completed. Before the Huanghuai area in the wilderness, a large amount of farmland has been newly reclaimed due to the continuous advancement of basic water conservancy construction of farmland.These lands played a huge role in the transformation of the military guards system of the Ming Dynasty into the recruitment system.Coupled with the efforts of the Northeast Development, by the eighth year of Wanli, the per capita arable land of the empire reached six mu, and the degree of mergers was very low, which was basically the same as that of the Hongwu period.

It turns out that state governance is difficult, but once the distribution problem is solved, it becomes easy.For the Ming Dynasty in the eighth year of Wanli, land allocation was the most important resource allocation.After nine years of travel, Zhu Yijun finally dared to pat his chest and say, "The prosperous world can be expected."

With the advancement of the reform, the entire empire reappeared the peace and prosperity that was only available in the prosperous times.In the ninth year of the Wanli year, when June was green and yellow, a folk song appeared in the folks: "If you are blessed today, you can enjoy it again, the Wanli Emperor is in the year of peace".

Due to the wide spread of folk songs, the governor of Southern Zhili officially reported to the court, taking it as auspiciousness.Some Beijing officials wanted to join in the fun, but couldn't summon the courage.Because now the upper and lower courts have lost most of the ground for argumentation about the auspicious auspiciousness and other heaven and human beings.

As Xu Guangqi, who picked up his father at the Tongzhou Wharf, said: "Those who are still talking about auspiciousness should not be stupid, but ignorant."

His father Xu Sicheng was carrying his luggage, and when he saw his son frowning with his lips pouted, he was so angry that he opened his mouth and scolded: "Have you not seen your father mentioning things, what are you talking about? You can't take it?!"

Xu Guangqi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reached out and took the leather suitcase in his father's hand.As soon as he started, the arm fell down and asked, "Is this outfit falling bricks?"

Hearing this, his father first nervously glanced around at the crowd around him. Seeing that no one was paying attention, Fang looked at his son fiercely.

Xu Guangqi was stunned for a second before he understood what was in the box.He frowned and said, "Don't tell Nong in the letter, don't bring these, Daddy Nongfa listen."

His father glanced at him again and scolded: "Nong's wings are stubbornly tied, and his family is married, so if he doesn't come to buy a house and buy a property, will he want his son-in-law to pack cold porridge?"

Xu Guangqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard it, and said with a smile, "I'm not telling you, I'm not buying a house. Besides, this is the lord, how can you not be a son-in-law? If you want to do it, you can't do it?"

While talking, the father and son walked out of the Tongzhou Pier.Xu Guangqi stood on the pier steps and waved, and Xu Sicheng saw a luxury four-wheeled carriage, surrounded by several red cavalrymen, running along the passage enclosed by the wooden railings.

A small yellow door in the color of an inner servant sat in front of the car with the coachman.When the carriage stopped, he jumped out of the carriage and approached him with a salute, "Is this the Duke's lord Xu Jue?"

Xu Guangqi nodded, and the inner official hurriedly bowed and saluted.Xu Sicheng had never seen such a royal style, and he was hit by a luxury carriage, so he didn't know how to react.

Seeing that he was nervous, the inner official hurriedly smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, sir. Her Royal Highness Princess Leping came to pick him up because of the inconvenience, and specifically asked the servants to apologize to Sir."

Xu Sicheng stammered: "No need, no need, Xiaomin, how can that be worthy of His Highness's favor?"

The inner official said auspicious words in his mouth, and reached out to take the burden from Xu Sicheng's hand.When he reached out to take the suitcase from Xu Guangqi, Xu Sicheng said, "No need, let him take it himself."

The inner officer was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Guangqi with a smile, and seeing Xu Guangqi nod, he stopped talking and led the father and son to the carriage.

After sitting in the carriage, Xu Sicheng lost his focus for a while, and did not speak for a long time.I just looked out through the glass window of the carriage and looked out at the cement road with weeping willows on both sides, and sighed.

Xu Guangqiyin introduced: "This road was only completed in May this year. My father looked at the flower pond in the middle and heard that flowers and plants could be planted next year. Well, now there are many people in the capital and many carriages, so my father must remember that it must be on the right side. Pass.—You know which is the right."

Xu Sicheng glanced at him and put his hand on his forehead.He scolded: "Nong thinks Daddy is arrogant?" Xu Guangqi scratched his head and smiled without saying a word.Fearing that his father would be hot, he opened the glass window again, and the car suddenly became cooler.

When the carriage entered the city gate, Xu Sicheng finally came to his senses and asked his son, "Are you a concubine?"

Xu Guangqi blushed slightly, and said, "My son published some articles on the popularization of Gewu in the newspaper, His Highness was very interested, and he communicated with his son several times. Later, when the Emperor brought His Highness to the Gewu Academy, he asked me to go there. The face is holy, so I got to know each other."

Xu Sicheng listened, his eyes were bright, and he looked at his son with pride on his face.He asked in a low voice, "His Royal Highness—this, um, what's your character and appearance?"

Xu Guangqi's face turned even redder, and he said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness is gentle and virtuous, with both good looks and good looks. I'm afraid my son is not worthy of her."

Xu Sicheng patted his back lightly and said with a smile, "You don't have to belittle yourself, you are very good, very good. Although you didn't start a career, how can being an official compare to being an academician?"

Although Xu Guangqi had already reconciled with his father about his running away from home, but listening to his father's gentle comfort at this time, his eyes were still hot.Whispered: "I'm an associate researcher, and I'm still [-] miles away from the academician."

"Hey, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. How easy is it for an academician. From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of anyone who could not kneel to the emperor. If this academician was easy to get, it wouldn't be a mess."

Xu Guangqi didn't speak, and his father said again: "Your mother also wants to come along, because your Ana (grandmother) is not feeling well, so I only waited for a few days. Well, your Ana is fine, I'm leaving home. It's already good time, let your uncle accompany her when the time comes."

"Tell me, the two of us are now lords? Your count, my baron?"

"How much is your salary now?"

"You will live in the Princess Mansion in the future? Me and your mother will live in our own house or in the Princess Mansion?"

"Princess Leping is sixteen, right? Why won't you have a wedding until next year? You're all twenty. Well, your zodiac signs are compatible, and your Ana also said that dogs and rabbits are prosperous."

Amidst Xu Sicheng's babble, the carriage arrived at Xu Guangqi's house.Although there is only a small yard in Sanjin, it is also a great real estate in the capital where every inch of land is expensive.After all, many Beijing officials still rent their residences.

After I settled my father, it was already dark.Xu Guangqi took a shower, went into the study wearing a light and breathable silk robe, lit the oil lamp, and continued his work.As one of the members of the compilation committee of "Imperial Primary School General Education Textbook", he is responsible for the editing of "Nature".

With the invention of the telescope, the popularization of the earth circle theory, and the establishment of the "heliocentric theory", the mystery of solar eclipses and lunar eclipses has long been stripped away, and the accuracy of the revised "Great Unified Calendar" has also been improved to a new level. Order of magnitude - this is also the reason why Xu Guangqi believes that the "auspicious theory" is completely ignorant.

After Xu Guangqi wrote "The Universe We Live In" last year, he couldn't believe it after reading it - does this prove that we live on a big sphere in the void?

In addition to the common sense of cosmology, Xu Guangqi has a lot to write.In the seventh year of Wanli, Gewuyuan produced the first thermometer.This thermometer marks minus 27 degrees to one hundred degrees above zero.Zero degrees is determined by a mixture of ice and water, and one hundred degrees is the temperature of boiling water.

This thermometer, which is as thick as a writing brush, has advanced Daming's theory of grids by a big step.Every time Xu Guangqi revises this chapter of "Temperature", he is very excited about the development of Ming physics today.

At the beginning of the ninth year of Wanli, the Gewu Institute had raised the upper limit of the temperature measurement of the thermometer to [-] degrees, and then studied the relationship between air pressure and temperature, and invented the relative humidity meter according to the theory.

In the process that the results of the Gewu Institute have shown a blowout trend, hundreds of thousands of rewards have been distributed to the researchers of the Gewu Institute who have contributed.The half box of silver cakes brought by Xu Sicheng was almost all the working capital of the Xu family - and Xu Guangqi had already deposited two large boxes.

What's more enjoyable than the silver reward is that more than [-]% of the people in the Gewuyuan have gone down in history.As long as the physicist who proposes a theory and is verified, the theory will be named simply and rudely with the name of the researcher.Of course, if you don't want to be so high-profile, the naming rights still belong to the founders themselves.

A modern man who has traveled back from the Internet age is the biggest hang, especially when he is the emperor himself.Zhu Yijun may not have memorized the details of these techniques and theories—but as an emperor, he had too many resources to hint, induce others to test theories and add details.

As the emperor, Zhu Yijun did not need the title of a physicist, so he did not have any title in the theories that he implied and induced.So far, there are only two theorems in the name of Zhu Yijun:
The first is called "Wanli's First Gradient Theorem", which is specifically stated as: "A proposition is qualified if and only if it is falsifiable."

The second theorem is the "Razor Principle", which is specifically stated: "If a principle is falsifiable and sufficient to explain the nature of natural phenomena, physics should not accept more reasons than this - unless there is evidence to disprove the principle. ."

The two principles put forward by the emperor at the plenary meeting of the Royal Gewu Academy in the seventh year of Wanli are like a sharp scalpel, making an irrefutable division between "gewu" and "non-gewu".

Moreover, Zhu Yijun's Theorem of Physics gives "reform" a strong and unquestionable legitimacy.The emperor put forward this theorem, not only to tell the physicists, but also to tell the whole world that there is no absolute truth, we only have one principle to follow - "the only constant is reform."

As for whether a certain policy needs to be reformed, and when should it be reformed?Please refer to the second theorem.

At the end of the seventh year of Wanli, the first academic journal of Ming Dynasty, "Gewu Xue", written by Zhu Yijun's imperial pen, will imprint these two theorems on it forever.

In the summer of the eighth year of Wanli, the Institute of Gewu has expanded to more than 400 people. According to the classification of different scientific research groups, "Monthly Biology", "Physics Bimonthly", "Chemistry", "Agriculture and Gewu" and other magazines, Journals have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

This kind of journal has a high reading threshold, and it is very easy to form a new knowledge monopoly.After Zhu Yijun noticed this problem, he asked the Institute of Gewu to write and publish popular articles at the same time when compiling textbooks such as nature and Gewu.

As a researcher with high quality, Xu Guangqi stood out in this process and won the favor of Princess Leping.
