Chapter 442 Morality
Before there were no airplanes, people didn't know that internal combustion engines could make iron birds fly.

Before there were no cars, people didn't know that steam engines could make iron boxes run.

There are many people who go on and on and try, but only a few people can find the way to move forward. It may be walking or jumping, or even climbing. There is never a wrong answer.

There is a steam engine in Zhang Juzheng's study, and the "Chen's Tao Te Ching" is neatly placed on the other side of the desk. This book made the imperial chief minister feel the stubbornness of Nanyang Chen Shuai.

Because this book also has a name—at least in Zhao Shizhen’s introduction, it has another name, the full name is "Chen's Unscriptural Theory of Everything", or Chen's Physics for short.

Whenever Mr. Zhang Ge, who was replying to the letter and planning a good way to govern the country, was free, he would focus on the book that was engraved throughout the text, and only the book with "Chen's Tao Te Ching" written in Chen Shuai's scribbled handwriting on the cover, he would always look at it. I will think of the Tao Te Ching that I privately gave to General Zhenshuo a few years ago.

When the title of the ancient book with self-cultivation as the highest goal of governance was given to this book, Zhang Juzheng opened the book and did not see the shadow of inner sage and outer king, but only saw Chen Mu's impulse to destroy everything.

When a thing is discovered, many times it is a hidden gem, which is unavoidable, such as gunpowder that fails to teach people immortality but kills countless people.

It takes years, ten years, decades or even hundreds of years for people to find its correct usage.

But Chen Mu's book has them all.

Chen's Tao Te Ching Chapter 1 introduces the forging and casting methods of gunpowder, segmented blunderbuss, and artillery, the principle of combustion and explosion, and the shortcomings, prospects, and development trends of each material.

Chapter 2, introduces the influence and principle of warships and segmented wind power, hydraulic power, sails and warship shape on parameters such as ship speed and load.

Chapter 3 focuses on the introduction of the steam engine, covering various principles, existing shortcomings and future development trends.

There is no electricity in the book, because Chen Mu doesn't know much about it, but he also wrote it. As long as you read this book and write down the expressions and summaries of the first three chapters, someone will soon be able to complete the electricity in the future.

Zhang Juzheng had kept Zhao Shizhen in Beijing for three months because of the Tao Te Ching that was sent along with Chen Mu's Nanyang Shishu.

Whenever I encounter something that I don’t understand, I will catch him and ask him. After all, Mr. Zhang Ge didn’t plan to circulate this book before he thoroughly understood Chen’s physics. He had to teach the emperor first, and then compile it as appropriate. Artillery and other things should be compiled into books alone, and other things should be circulated as appropriate.

Just like what Chen Mu said in the book, the most important thing is this kind of summary and expression. Other things are not important to the common people.

"Changji is here, sir."

"Ge Lao called, the students came here quickly." Zhao Shizhen lived in Zhang Juzheng's mansion for a long time, and he was familiar with Zhang Juzheng. He sat down with his hands folded, and seeing the Tao Te Ching in front of Zhang Juzheng, he folded his hands and said, "Students will explain on your behalf. Know everything."

Zhao Changji did not live comfortably in the capital, and sometimes he was happy and sometimes sad. Zhang Juzheng's behavior was not upright at times, and it was not uncommon for him to play tricks for political advantage. This kind of thing is usually done by Zhao Shizhen, a reserve official who has studied in Taixue. It seems that people who have already entered the court as officials are not easy to accept.

In comparison, Zhao Shizhen prefers Gao Gong. Although Gao Gong has a bad temper, his behavior is very traditional. If he doesn't like you, he will scold you and dismiss you directly, but he never makes you happy in person. A death sentence for your political career.

Zhao Shizhen has seen too many in the past three months in Beijing alone.

However, under the influence of Chen Mu, Zhao Shizhen was already used to it, as long as he accepted that bully, everything else would be easy to talk about.

"Chen Shuai said this is called a work unit. It's like a stone. It doesn't matter whether it's steam, water or wind. The unit is a man. Ichiro's strength is fifty catties." Zhang Juzheng flipped through the book, pointed and said: "The book says that the current The power of the steamer has reached its peak, and it is necessary to improve condensation, reduce heat dissipation and structure in the future."

"If the power of a steaming machine is ten lang, after improving the condensation, there will be thirteen lang, which can produce more and more, and can even carry people around like a horse. He said that the power will even reach a pond. The unit of a pond is very Strange, how did Baiji Ichiro, Bailang Yitang, and Chen Shuai get out of these units?"

Zhao Shizhen blushed when he heard Zhang Juzheng mentioned the unit 'Ji', he was absolutely annoyed and said: "Chen Shuai started it."

Zhang Juzheng looked at the Ji on the book, and then at Zhao Shizhen. Thinking of his writing, he couldn't help smiling, and gestured to Zhao Shizhen.

"Elder Ge doesn't know something. Chen Shuai is old, but his mind is still immature. On the day he compiled the book, he suddenly asked the students to wrestle with him, saying that his compilation of the book is useful." Zhao Shizhen turned his head and looked outside the door, taking a deep breath Turning his head around, he said, "Although the student often wields the blunderbuss, his strength is comparable. Where is his opponent for fighting a titan?"

Zhao Shizhen patted the back of his hand one after another, and said with a bitter face: "There is no shame in not winning, but Chen Shuai actually said that the student is not as strong as Hachiro, and it is Chen Shuai's adopted son in Japan, General Chen Bazhi, so there is Baiji Ichiro .”

Zhang Juzheng couldn't hold back his laughter, and after laughing, he continued to ask: "What about Bailang Yitang?"

"One hundred Chen Bazhi is comparable to one Qi Nantang."

Qi Nantang is Qi Jiguang. Zhang Juzheng, who is in charge of the court, naturally knows how powerful Qi Jiguang is. Hearing this, he restrained his smile, nodded and said: "This is more pertinent, even if the whole world can compare Qi Shuai's achievements in township Just a handful of people."

Ugh!
Zhao Shizhen sighed silently in his heart.

He was dissatisfied because of this comparison!If Chen Shuai wrote something Baijiyichen, he would admit it with a smile. Anyway, it is not true at all. Even if this thing is passed down for generations, people will think it is nothing more than a joke.

But now that the truth is mixed in, future generations will think, one hundred Chen Bazhi is worth one Qi Jiguang, take out Qi Jiguang's biography and have a look, yo!Qi Shuai is amazing, it's not too much to be a hundred Chen Bazhi!

Looking at him again, Zhao Shizhen, this person has not done anything, only a hundred can compare to a little Chen Shuai, it is true to think about it.

Hmph, the lucky person who came to Chen Shuai's side by flattery!
How embarrassing, how embarrassing, huh?
"It's not bad. After more than two years in Nanyang, Chen Shuai is much more restrained. He didn't add himself here—he added it?" Zhang Juzheng said and saw Zhao Shizhen's eyes widen as if he had seen a ghost, and he didn't go back to read the book. Only with closed eyes can I recall the page introducing the unit with my photographic memory, and said in surprise: "It's not written in the book."

"Chen Shuai said that neither the steam machine nor the water power is too big. The Jilangtang is enough. If it is not enough, we will come up with a new unit."

Zhao Shizhen rolled his eyes as he spoke, and said angrily: "One bath in one hundred ponds."

　Good morning!
