Chapter 1257

"For example, the four-wheeled carriages I offer to His Majesty, and the four-wheeled carriages that are now very popular in Tokyo Bianliang, are both stable and comfortable. Why is that?"

"It's the same horse, if you pull a two-wheeled carriage, maybe 1,500 kilograms is the limit, but if it's a four-wheeled carriage, then, not to mention 1,500 kilograms, it's a double the weight.

A horse can still pull quickly, and there are also a lot of geometric and physical problems applied here…”

"As for chemistry, Your Majesty must know how powerful the gunpowder weapon of my Song Dynasty is. When using wood, saltpeter and sulfur according to a certain ratio, ignite it with fire, and finally the process of explosive explosion occurs, there is a physical and chemical reaction here..."

“For example, the candle we use at night has a weight, but when it is lit, it will continue to emit light and heat.

And when it burns out, only a very small residue will remain, and its solid has completely disappeared. Here, because its chemical properties have changed greatly, it has changed from solid to gas or ashes..."

Wang Yang's explanation may be that some places are not very professional, but it is enough to deceive, well, it is enough to convince the Emperor of the Song Dynasty more than a thousand years ago.

Emperor Zhao Xu couldn't help but be fascinated by his hearing. "I really didn't expect that these small and unintentional things actually contained the principles of physics, chemistry, mathematics and geometry you said. I've heard you today, and my horizons are really wide."

Seeing the gaze full of appreciation and admiration of the emperor Zhao Xu, Wang Yang still said modestly.

"In fact, I am just more willing to observe the changes of all things in the four seasons than ordinary people, and then try every means to figure out the reasons and principles, and then summarize them in the principles of those predecessors..."

"Just relying on your ability to figure out the truth and knowledge from the things you observe, there are afraid that there will be few people in the world..." A voice that seemed old sounded from outside the door.

The thick curtain was lifted open, and the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao walked into the imperial study with a smile under the support of Xu Degong.

Wang Yang quickly bowed to the scheming Empress Dowager. "I welcome the Empress."

"Grandma, why are you here? It's so cold, be careful of catching a cold." Emperor Zhao Xu quickly walked forward, helped Gao Taotao and sat down in front of the stove.

"The Ai family is also bored and wants to come and see the official family, but unexpectedly, when he heard Wang Wushan's words, he was deeply touched..." Gao Taotao looked at Wang Wushan, who was sitting beside him with kind eyes and smiled.

"Your principles are all very fresh and novel, but they are very useful for the industry, commerce and military facilities of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, when you heard that you used a lot of novel materials and tools to build houses for those refugees in Huanglongze, so that tens of thousands of refugees could move into their new homes in such a short time."

"It turns out that the emperor's grandmother knew it too. At that time, the grandson heard the rumors that Wang Wushan cut corners and built houses for those refugees. He actually used hollow bricks, and the roof did not use tiles, but hollow prefabricated boards."

"The grandson also took someone to inquire and asked them to bring some samples. Only then did they know the reason. These hollow bricks are not only very strong, but also warm in winter and cool in summer.

The roof is made of prefabricated boards, although they look simple, but they are very strong. Even if people walk on them, they will not crack at all. They can dry things on the roof or put heavy objects on it..."

Wang Yang smiled shyly and explained, "Those hollow bricks and prefabricated boards are actually the products of my own trial production."

"I just think that if my Song Dynasty needs large-scale construction nowadays, I often need to transport wood thousands of miles away. Nowadays, the price of wood is definitely not something that ordinary families can afford."

"Cement is a ready-made building material. What's important is that all bricks used to consume a considerable amount of soil, so I wondered whether to make a building material that is lightweight but is very suitable for building houses..."

The Empress Dowager listened to Wang Yang's vivid description of his invention of hollow bricks and prefabricated boards, and was very relished.

Finally, I commented a few pertinently, hoping that Wang Yang could teach the students of the Imperial Academy all the principles he had figured, so that those students could also benefit the country and the people of the Song Dynasty.

Wang Yang naturally agreed unshirkable, but soon, he did not look as full of fighting spirit as the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao and Emperor Zhao Xu thought. Instead, his face was solemn and his expression was very serious to salute the two big bosses.

"I am naturally willing to give all my studies to those students, but I am very worried about a problem."

"Maybe it won't take long to see countless scholars holding the Four Books and Five Classics in their hands, saying "Chengren" and "Chengren" and "Chengren" and "Chengren" and "Chengyi" and "Chengyi" and "Chengyi" and "Chengyi" will impeach the ministers of Confucianism and the disciples of saints to your Majesty and the court..."

"Wang Wushan, what do you mean?" Emperor Zhao Xu looked at Wang Yang in a daze, not understanding very much.

The scheming Empress Dowager Gao Taotao frowned thoughtfully, as if he understood what Wang Yang was worried about.

"Your Majesty still remember that I once opened a vocational school when I was on the North Shaanxi Road?" Wang Yang directly made the words clear.

"What the school taught was a few basic mathematical, geometric and physics problems, so that those craftsmen who do not have much knowledge base can master the principles of textile machinery as quickly as possible.

After they understand the structure and principles, they can find a suitable job in many workshops based on the knowledge they have learned and can solve their own livelihoods."

But even such a vocational school that had no influence on the intellectuals and scholars of the Song Dynasty caused the impeachment of Wang Yang by countless ministers in the court.

Similarly, this is why the emperor instructed Shen Kuo to open the Department of Interpretation in the Imperial Academy, the Censorate, the Ministry of Personnel, etc. would always find ways to find fault.

"It's okay. If they impeach them, you will continue to do what you think you should do. I know that all you have done is for my Song Dynasty. I hope you can cultivate countless useful talents for my Song Dynasty."

"When they are tired of impeachment and know that my will cannot be shaken, then they will naturally calm down."
