Chapter Twenty-Three: The Practical Significance of Prosperity

A person who knows that he is doing something bad and feels ashamed of it is already a person who can be saved in many cases.

Because, as long as you open this period of history in the seventeenth century, people will find that this is the fastest and most prosperous period in human history. Similarly, this period of history is also when mankind began to truly understand and recognize themselves. The eve.

Before this, humans generally belonged to gods or kings.

I don't have an accurate understanding of myself.

Seeing the increasing precision of astronomical observations, Yushan scholars made it urgent to calculate detailed trigonometric function tables, so they began to make tables of sine, tangent, and secant every 10". It took five years to calculate by hand. After that, the calculation was finally completed.

Yushan scholars have not only made certain achievements in astronomy research, but also made a series of achievements in the theory of algebraic equations.

Song Yingxing and others successively discovered and improved the universal solutions of cubic and quartic equations, and used imaginary numbers for the first time.

This is the biggest breakthrough in algebra since Diophantus in Greece.

The Frenchman Veda, who fled from France to Daming, created a large number of algebraic symbols, used letters to represent unknowns, improved calculation methods, and greatly improved algebra.

Due to the large amount of manpower and material resources invested by Yushan Academy, Song Yingxing recompiled his own book "On Qi·Sound of Air".

He re-used scientific language to give a scientific explanation for the production and propagation of sound. He believed that sound was produced by the vibration or rapid motion of an object impacting the air. Sound was transmitted through the air, similar to water waves.

After inspecting the Yushan Iron and Steel Plant, Song Yingxing re-summarized the shortcomings in "Tiangong Kaiwu" and re-edited the continuous production process of smelting pig iron and wrought iron (low carbon steel), annealing, normalizing, quenching, chemical heat treatment Such as steel heat treatment process and solid carburizing process.

Through a lot of practice, when Song Yingxing finally described the smelting technology, he regarded many chemical elements such as lead, copper, mercury, and sulfur as basic substances, and regarded the substances produced by the reactions related to them as derived substances. Thus produced the germination of the concept of chemical elements.

What surprised Yun Zhao the most was the magnifying glass, microscope and other dozens of optical instruments made by Yushan optical instrument manufacturer Sun Yunqiu, which is unique in the world, and his "Mirror History" has been published in Daming.

And Wang Fuzhi, a great scholar who was invited by Yun Zhao's heavy money, did not live up to Yun Zhao’s silver coins. He put forward the concept of the metabolism of organisms in "Siwenlu·waipian". He said: ,... Muscles are born day by day, but the old ones disappear. People don’t know. People don’t know their quality has changed when they see the form."

Today, I am doing work to remove the mysterious and mysterious words in the article. When the book is republished, it will become a true scientific work.

Yu Ren and Yu Jie co-authored the book "Yuanheng Healing Horse Collection" and reinterpreted the treatment experience of horses, cattle and camels, and won the highest honor of Yushan-the Royal Science Award in one fell swoop.

In the fourth year of China, Gu Yanwu's "Zhaoyu Zhi" and "Tianxia County National Benefit Disease Book" were also formally written. In the book "Tianxia County National Benefit Disease Book", Gu Yanwu affirmed that the prefecture system replaced the enfeoffment system is historical progress.

Although the system of prefectures and counties also has its drawbacks, it is absolutely impossible to retrogress the system of enfeoffment. Gu Yanwu also pointed out that the disadvantage of the prefecture system is the excessive autocracy of imperial power.

Although there are not many words accusing the imperial power, it has also caused a huge wave in Yushan Academy. Many people think that such description is disrespectful to Yun Zhao.

However, Gu Yanwu didn't care, and vowed not to change a single word. After being criticized by many people, Gu Yanwu, who was so angry, even added the mistakes Haoyun had made since his ascension to the throne.

The criticism was extremely pungent, and he also blamed Yun Zhao for all the mistakes committed by officials in the world. If he only reads this book, Yun Zhao is a great monarch far surpassing Jiejun.

After reading it, Yun Zhao jumped into a thunder, clamoring to divide Gu Yanwu's five horses into the body... However, this book of "Tianxia Jun Guoli Diseases", which added a lot of Zhan Fu Yun Zhao, was still published as it was originally.

Because of Yun Zhao's anger, the book was still in short supply after the first 20,000 copies were printed. Therefore, 80,000 copies were printed in the end, making it the most printed book in China in the four years of the Ming Dynasty.

And at this time, Xu Xiake concentrated on compiling his travel notes when he returned from watching the mountains. After four years in China, he republished his travel notes-"Xu Xiake's Travel Notes".

Fang Yizhi, a young professor at Yushan Academy, has finally published his own work on the study of geophysics—"Little Knowledge of Physics" after many years of studying geophysics.

Among them, in Volume 7, he re-summarized the Yushan coking method: "Coal is produced everywhere. The smelly is burned and closed. It becomes a stone, then chiseled into the furnace, called the reef."

After Yun Zhao saw it, he scolded Fang Yizhi, thinking that the language he wrote was obscure and difficult to understand, artisans could not understand, scholars could not understand, and he didn't know who it was written for.

Therefore, Fang Yizhi's book was not sold yet, it was taken back and burned by Fang Yizhi, and it was prepared to be re-edited before the first edition.

The symbol of the prosperity of an era is that all kinds of talents are emerging one after another, all kinds of discoveries are emerging one after another, and all kinds of industries are prosperous.

Therefore, Yun Zhao was in a good mood when he returned from the Yushan Academy’s research results exhibition. Even though there was an unpleasant argument with Gu Yanwu at the venue, he was in a good mood overall.

Philosophy, arithmetic, physics, chemistry, medicine, agronomy, astronomy, and geography have all made great progress, which gives Yun Zhao more hope for the future in his heart.

The Daming Census has ended. Today, Daming has a total population of 164.52 million. There are nearly 8,000 newborns born every day, and a new population of about 3 million will be added throughout the year.

For every newborn, Yun Zhao, and a lot of money, Feng Ying sent them the most sincere blessings. As long as there is a newborn baby, the family will receive three silver coins of breast milk money.

However, the drug administration offices that have long been all over Daming must register each newborn. All the medicines and diagnosis and treatment costs for the newborns are not required to spend money, and the royal family will provide them until the newborns reach the age of three. Will stop.

Coupled with the policy that both men and women in Shanglantian have land distribution rights, the proportion of girls among newborn babies in Ming Dynasty has risen sharply.

Today’s Ming Dynasty does not lack land at all. On the contrary, there is still a large amount of unowned land that needs people to cultivate. Therefore, the control of population is only an impression in Yun Zhao’s head. It is a manifestation of national strength.

As far as a country is concerned, it would cost a lot of national money to feed the army, but that was not the case with the Lantian dynasty.

Since the day the Lantian army was born, the army has been a profitable unit.

Moreover, it is the third largest paying unit in the Ming series.

Although everyone knows that the army does not produce production, even fools know exactly how their money comes from.

Everyone holding a gun, dragging a cannon, and driving a warship, their means of production are hardly anything but the things in their hands.

For now, as long as it is not where Daming belongs, it is where the army makes money.

It is the Southwest and the Navy, their contribution to the army's wealth exceeds more than 70% of the overall wealth of the army.

At this time, Yun Zhao's self-confidence has reached its peak.

His huge fleet is sailing on the sea.

His huge army is expanding in all directions.

His people are working day and night to produce more wealth for the empire.

His courtiers are tirelessly planning for the future of the empire.

At this time, he, as the emperor, can naturally rest.

"Still angry with Gu Yanwu?"

When Han Lingshan came, seeing Yun Zhao lying alone on a brocade couch, half awake, he smiled and asked.

"No, I just want to rest, I don't want to rest in my head."

Yun Zhao's lazy answer.

"You can rest, you see, Li Dingguo has already won Jinzhou."

Yun Zhao took a look at the military newspaper that Han Lingshan had brought and said, "Wu Sangui didn't have fierce resistance?"

Han Lingshan put the fart stock on the case and lit a flue: "Guan Ning was the fastest runner, and Chu Dayong who defended the city was blown to pieces. On the contrary, the resistance of the people in Jinzhou City was the fiercest. "

"Because of our land policy?"

"That's it. Wu Sangui did a good job telling the people in Jinzhou City that when we come, we will take away the land they have cultivated, take away their cattle, sheep, and deer, take away their houses, and redistribute them. .

Therefore, even if Guan Ning Tieqi retreated, they desperately resisted. "

"How did Li Dingguo do it?"

"At this time, there is no time to reason. Therefore, Li Dingguo chose to attack by force. In front of the artillery, those people who want to defend their wealth by relying on their swords and spears have no chance."

"Severe casualties?"

"It's very heavy, especially after Zu Dashou forcibly ordered the people in Jinzhou City to shave all their hair, many people felt that there was no way to survive."

"Huh? Did Zu Dashou catch it?"

"No, I ran with Wu Sangui."

Yun Zhao put down the battle report in his hand and sighed, "Where can he go?"

Han Lingshan said, "They are determined not to return to Daming."

"I don't want it when it comes, just come back."

"Is the messenger of Tokugawa Iemitsu coming?"

"Come~www.wuxiahere.com~ is waiting for your Majesty's summons on the People's Palace Square outside the Congress."

Yun Zhao lazily turned over Yushan looking out the window and said, "You said, how would he explain the invasion of North Korea?"

Han Lingshan said: "Any explanation is useless, unless they start attacking Dorgon now."

Han Lingshan smiled and said: "The messenger of Tokugawa Iemitsu said, every time your Majesty delays summoning them, they will cut off the head."

"Oh?" Yun Zhao sat up in surprise, he really couldn't imagine the consequences of these people's murder in Yushan.

"Oh, I didn't say it clearly. The head of the messenger Hatoyama said that every quarter of an hour, he would cut off the head of a messenger as a plea for sin."

"Oh, then it's okay."

After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he changed to a comfortable position and lay down.
