I'm a big dick

Chapter 258 Private Interview with Xu Guangqi

Wang Tiqian didn't know if it was true, but when the emperor asked, he hurriedly responded: "Master Long, I will go and ask you." After speaking, he quickly walked into the street.

Zhu Youxiao stopped, looked at Li Chengcheng, and said, "If you want to hear about the book, look for opportunities later."

Li Chengcheng nodded, and said with a smile: "The servant girl thinks it's normal, Master Long doesn't need to worry about it."

"There should be some shows during the Chinese New Year." Zhu Youxiao said, "Even if it's just singing and dancing."

Li Chengcheng just wanted to tell the emperor that as long as he is willing, the secretary of Jiaofang will be there at any time.Seeing Wang Tiqian walking back quickly, he closed his mouth again.

"Master Long." Wang Tiqian rushed to the front and bowed to report: "This is Master Xu's mansion."

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, then raised his hand and said, "Go, go drink a bowl of tea, I really have something to tell Master Xu."

Wang Tiqian led the way, and Zhu Youxiao and others entered the street and went straight to Xu Guangqi's mansion.

The mansion awarded to Xu Guangqi was not big, and it was incomparable with the high mansions of the elites in the capital.But Xu Guangqi lives quite comfortably, without too much noise, and there is no need for too many guards.

Moreover, Xu Guangqi has a tolerant and loose temperament, which may have something to do with him often being with Western missionaries.

When I came to the door, I saw that the door of the mansion was half open. I don't know why.Moreover, there is not even a guard or gatekeeper in front of the gate.

Could it be that entering Xu's mansion is as easy as walking through the city gate?Zhu Youxiao was a little puzzled, but saw that Wang Tiqian had already walked in ahead, so he had to follow.

"Hey, hey, when the city gate leaves?" Wang Tiqian didn't expect that there was someone behind the gate, so he stopped and turned to look.

A middle-aged man came over with a cigarette pot, rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you know, this is Xu's mansion, although there are fewer people, don't be too casual!"

Before Wang Tiqian could speak, Zhu Youxiao had already said first: "Yes, yes, we are reckless." After speaking, he waved to Lu Jianxing who was hesitating to follow or not.

Lu Jianxing hurried over, and heard the emperor order in a low voice: "Show off your waist badge, and say that the emperor sent you to present the reward to Master Xu."

Lu Jianxing bowed and agreed, secretly praising Long Live for being thoughtful.If you don't talk about rewards, once you reveal your identity, you might think you are here to arrest people and put them in jail!
Coughing dryly, Lu Jianxing stepped forward, flashed Jin Yiwei's waist badge, and said, "Lu Jianxing, governor of a hundred households, has come to present the reward according to the order of the sage."

The middle-aged man took a closer look, hurriedly bowed to salute, and hurriedly said: "Young one, go and make an announcement, and invite my adults to come and receive the order."

"No need." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Long Live specifically explained that there is no need to be too public. You can just lead us to see Mr. Xu."

"Young one, please." The middle-aged man hastily stretched out his hand to greet him, and walked a few steps forward to lead the way, saying as he walked, "My lord is talking to Priest Tang, and it's about the stars and the moon."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, none of them were outsiders, and he was probably discussing which cosmic system to refer to for the almanac.Although I appointed Copernicus' heliocentric theory, it may not convince Xu Guangqi and Tang Ruowang.

Of course, this spirit of respecting science is commendable, and Zhu Youxiao is not angry or blamed for it.

While talking, everyone has been led to the hall.Xu Guangqi's character and preferences can be seen without seeing a few servants along the way.

For Xu Guangqi, there are historical records: on the day the coffin was built, there was nothing left in his pocket.

Such a profound knowledge, such a great ability, the official position is also a secondary assistant, but in the end it is so poor.Those greedy and despicable people, don't know what face they have, fancy clothes, gourmet food, high-rise mansions, and groups of wives and concubines?

"You don't need to report, Mr. Xu and I are familiar." Zhu Youxiao reached out to stop the servant who led the way, stepped up the steps, and went straight into the hall.

Xu Guangqi and Tang Ruowang were talking about how to make observation instruments in order to verify Copernicus' system.

You know, Copernicus was not a very good observer, and may still be poor in terms of accuracy.

However, Tycho did an excellent job in terms of the scale and error of the instrument, and the error between the actual measurement and the theoretical calculation is the smallest.

Someone pushed the door open, Xu Guangqi and Tang Ruowang didn't care, they were still talking about astronomy.

In fact, Xu Guangqi is not good at astronomy. Although it is his wish to compile the almanac, it only plays an organizational role in the calendar bureau.

Therefore, he respects the Western missionaries he relies heavily on, such as Tang Ruowang and Deng Yuhan.

Seeing that Xu Guangqi and the Westerners talked enthusiastically and ignored the Long Live Lord, Wang Tigan couldn't help coughing dryly.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but glanced at Wang Tigan, he also wanted to hear Xu Guangqi and Tang Ruowang talking!
Xu Guangqi turned his head slightly displeased, seeing the smiling emperor, his eyes widened involuntarily.After being stunned for a while, he quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Xu Qing is free!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, sat down in the chair honestly and bluntly, and smiled at Tang Ruowang who was saluting, "The same is true for Priest Tang. Sit down and talk."

"Thank you Long Live Long En." Xu Guangqi bowed to the ground, and sat down with Tang Ruowang, with a slightly apprehensive expression.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, and said: "First build the observation equipment, set up a few more observation points, and verify the Copernican system. If there is solid evidence to support it, Xu Qing and Teacher Tang will write a book. You can leave your name in the world and be honored as a pioneer."

Tang Ruowang clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty. I'm afraid this will take time and effort, but with the Tycho system, there is no such problem."

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "Tycho was wrong, although looking at it now, his error is very small. Well, there is no need to argue first, and there is no need to hesitate, just make observations according to the Copernican system, Compile the almanac."

Tang Ruowang smiled bitterly and stopped arguing.

Xu Guangqi thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Long live must also know about the dispute between the Western Bureau and the Eastern Bureau, and the Qin Tianjian also opposes the Western Bureau. If the compiled almanac is not accurate enough, I am afraid it will not be convincing."

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, knowing that Xu Guangqi was under great pressure to preside over the work of the Calendar Bureau.The forces opposing the introduction of Western learning among the people are the so-called "Eastern Bureau"; Qin Tianjian's advocacy of the traditional calendar is also an opposing force.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Youxiao said: "Xu Qing doesn't need to pay attention to it, I will fully support the calendar. Learn Tycho's observation method and apply it to the Copernican system. I believe it will be accurate."

Raising his hand and pressing down, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I won't talk about this today. First, I just sit and sit, and second, I also chat casually. Let's talk about this new thing!"

It used to be called the Academy of Sciences, but later it was renamed Xinxue. It recruited scribes who could read and write to study, which was much faster than the cultivation of orphans from childhood.
