Chapter 483 Master of Science (Part [-])
Since Huojia County belonged to Weihui Mansion, it was the adjacent mansion of Huaiqing Mansion. Although Zhu Zaiyu was only the heir of Zheng Wang, some people in the court were talkative, so he still chose to come quietly without alarming anyone.

But Gao Wushi still followed the highest etiquette he could show at this time after entertaining the officials and gentry from the two governments. He not only specially burned incense and took a bath, but also sent cavalry servants to clean up outside the courtyard where the local rich gentry borrowed him temporarily. After the scene, he opened the middle door and waited personally at the door, waiting for Zhu Zaiyu, the son of Prince Zheng.

Although Gao Yushi is only a student, his prestige among other scholars is quite high!

He is not only the author of "Long Wen Whip Shadow", "Xin Zheng Conversation with Rhymes", and other works handed down from generation to generation, but also has a close friendship with many famous literati!
However, at this moment, he walked up to a well-covered carriage with a serious face, lifted the curtain for the guests in the carriage, and bowed respectfully: "After school, Zheng Gao is pragmatic. Mr. Jiufeng, it is really a blessing for the students to come here this time! Sir, please."

"Huh? Why is Gao Longwen like this?" The man who got off the carriage was about forty years old, with a pale face, wearing dark brown straight clothes and a Dongpo scarf on his head. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged scholar.

The "Mr. Jiufeng" that Gao Yushi said was Zhu Zaiyu, the son of Prince Zheng, and he was called Jiufengshanren by his nickname.

"Mr. Jiufeng, the Law School of the World, I heard that he is currently writing "Lv Li Rong Tong". Although he is not good at being practical, he still yearns for it."

Zhu Zaiyu stood still, stared at Gao Yushi for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I heard that the Jinghua Gezhi Academy has been continuously recruiting talents in mathematics in the past few years. At first, I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that it is true." no."

Gao Wushi smiled, didn't speak, and didn't take advantage of the opportunity to offer any invitation—he was the prince's son, even if he wanted to go, he couldn't go to the capital.

But Zhu Zaiyu's complexion soon sank again, and he said: "However, even if the matter of "Lv Li Rong Tong" is not clear to me, Gao Longwen can explain it clearly. It seems that some people's doubts back then It’s not unreasonable, the current Dongchang and Jinyiwei probably don’t know their surnames anymore.”

Gao Wushi laughed, shook his head and said, "The Emperor told the students about this, Mr. Jiufeng must not misunderstand."

Zhu Zaiyu's complexion changed slightly, he knew that he couldn't answer these words.He was originally a reclusive person, he didn't look like a prince's son at all, but the emperor was in the capital, and he knew how far he had reached in his academic research. This... can you talk too much?
Who is Zhu Zaiyu who can make Gao Yushi so respectful?
In the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zhi as a heretical thinker, Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing as scientists, Tang Xianzu as a playwright, Xu Xiake as a geographer, and Li Shizhen as a medical scientist all entered the annals of Chinese history.

However, if he hadn’t seen a speech abroad by the core of the third generation of the Red Dynasty, Zhu Zaiyu was hailed as one of China’s historical celebrities who influenced the world, Gao Wushi would have no idea that there is such a genius as Zhu Zaiyu!
why?After checking the profile of this genius, Gao Yushi was even more amazed. This man is simply China's Leonardo da Vinci!
Hundreds of years before Gao Yushi was born, Westerners praised his "Twelve Equal Temperament" as the fifth greatest invention in China, admitting that he opened a new chapter in the music world, and convincingly recognized it.Without twelve equal temperaments, singing from C major to G major would not be able to transition skillfully; without twelve equal temperaments, keyboard instruments could not be tuned; without twelve equal temperaments, the piano performance known as the king of musical instruments can't come out...

Also, in addition to the twelve equal temperaments, Zhu Zaiyu is still the first to create a set music instrument - string accuracy; the first to use abacus to find the square; A series of first-in-the-world honors such as a subject-specific content outline.His research in the fields of astronomy, calendar, mathematics, physics, and computing is still influential today.

He pioneered the geometric sequence solution method, more than a dozen earlier than the Dutch mathematician Steffen;.His twelve equal temperament was 55 years earlier than the French scientist Merson; the wind instrument correction method and formula he proposed were 300 years earlier than the same theory in the West; the large number of rotunda scores he wrote were earlier than the earliest German composers in the world. His "Piano Collection of Well-Tempered Piano" is 300 years earlier; his "Complete Book of Temperament" is completely comparable to the contemporary masterpieces "Tiangong Kaiwu", "Nongzheng Quanshu", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" and so on. Erli... But why is he so unknown?
Oh, it turned out to be because of Tartar.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, most of the Daqing's attitude towards the outstanding people in various industries in the three centuries of the Ming Dynasty is still acknowledgment.Even the heroes who fought against the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty were mostly commemorated in the Qing Dynasty.

However, for a strange person in the sixteenth century of the Ming Dynasty, the attitudes of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty are quite exceptional—not only must he be banned, but he must also be "stinked"!
In this matter, the "sage kings" such as Kangxi and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty spent a lot of effort.Organized the ministers of the court many times to launch a "siege" against the prince of the Ming Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, and even went into battle in person.For example, the "Shiquan old man" Qianlong of the Tartar Qing Dynasty wrote many articles in his own hand, swearing at this strange man of the Ming Dynasty, and listed him the "ten crimes". From the pen of the Tartar Qing Qianlong, we can see his anger That was really gushing.

The strange man of the Ming Dynasty who was so able to make the Tartar and Qing chieftains exert great efforts to suppress it was the middle-aged scribe in front of Gao Yushi and a recognized master in the history of world science: Zhu Zaiyu.

For example, in terms of astronomy, Zhu Zaiyu found a loophole in the calculation of Chinese astronomy in the past dynasties, and reset the formula for calculating the length of the regression year.His calculation result of the length of the tropical year in 1581 is only 21 seconds worse than the modern high-tech calculation result.Even the geographic location of Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, was accurately measured by Zhu Zaiyu, and the data is exactly the same as the modern latitude and longitude: 39°56′ north latitude, 116°20′ east longitude.

In the field of mathematics as the basis of science, Zhu Zaiyu's achievements are even more impressive: he developed a series of calculation formulas for nozzle correction, and accurately measured the density of mercury.He also creatively used abacus to extract the square, and the series equation he pioneered solved the conversion of decimals in different positions.These calculation methods are not only often used in modern science, but also represent the pinnacle of world science at that time.Also relying on his superb mathematical ability, Zhu Zaiyu, who loves temperament, has also completed a major achievement that has far-reaching influence and is very "hatred" in the Qing Dynasty: the twelve equal temperament.

Twelve equal temperament, also known as twelve equal intervals, is a temperament system that divides a group of octaves into twelve semitone intervals in music.This novel legal system was hard-earned by Zhu Zaiyu with a huge calculation of 81 gears and the world-leading cubic calculation method at that time.In the history of world music, it has even more trans-epochal significance: the problem that the five-tone temperament and pure temperament cannot return to the palace in music for thousands of years has been solved beautifully.Since then, there has been a broader platform for the creation of musicians and the development of modern music.But until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this great creation made the Tartars so angry that the seven orifices were filled with smoke.

Because music in the Qing Dynasty was not an entertainment issue, but a major issue related to rituals and regulations.Therefore, Zhu Zaiyu's new creation, in the eyes of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was seriously deviant.So Kangxi, the chieftain, tried his best to plagiarize Zhu Zaiyu's achievements in his work "Lv Lu Zhengyi", and at the same time he tried his best to distort and attack.During the Qianlong period, Qianlong, the captive chieftain, not only personally wrote articles to discredit Zhu Zaiyu as "conjecture", but also ordered Wang Jie, Peng Yuanrui, Dong Gao and other ministers to initiate severe criticism of Zhu Zaiyu.As a result, this great scientist and his achievements were buried in Chinese history in the midst of scolding.
