Chapter 23 The Practical Significance of Prosperity
Chapter 23 The practical significance of prosperity
People who know that they are doing bad things and are ashamed of it are often people who can be saved.
Because, as long as you open the history of the seventeenth century, people will find that this is the fastest and most vigorous period in human history. Similarly, this history is also the eve of the eve of human beings beginning to truly understand themselves and themselves.
Before this, humans generally belonged to God or kings.
I don't have an accurate understanding of myself.
Seeing that astronomical observations are becoming more and more sophisticated, it has become an urgent task to calculate detailed trigonometric function tables, so they began to make sine, tangent and tilt tables every 10" every 10" and rely entirely on hand calculations. After five years, the calculations were finally completed.
The Yushan scholars have not only achieved certain achievements in astronomy exploration, but also achieved a series of achievements in algebraic equation theory.
Song Yingxing and others successively discovered and improved the universal solution to the three and four-order equations, and used imaginary numbers for the first time.
This is the biggest breakthrough in algebra since the Greek Diophanto.
Veda, a Frenchman who fled from France to the Ming Dynasty, gathered the achievements of his predecessors and created a large number of algebraic symbols, used letters to represent unknown numbers, improved calculation methods, and greatly improved algebraicism.
Because Yushan Academy invested a lot of manpower and material resources, Song Yingxing recompiled his book "On Qi and Qi Sheng".
Re-using scientific language to provide a scientific explanation for the generation and propagation of sound. He believed that sound is generated by the vibration of objects or the rapid movement of a sudden movement of the object to impact the air, and sound is transmitted through the air, similar to water waves.
After inspecting the Yushan Iron and Steel Plant, Song Yingxing re-sumed the shortcomings in "Tiangong Kaiwu" and re-compiled the continuous production process of smelting pig iron and dry iron (low carbon steel), steel heat treatment processes such as annealing, normalization, quenching, chemical heat treatment, and solid carburizing processes.
Through a lot of practice, Song Yingxing finally regarded many chemical elements such as lead, copper, mercury, and sulfur as basic substances when describing smelting technology, and regarded the substances produced by reactions related to them as derived substances, thus producing the germination of the concept of chemical elements.
What surprised Yun Zhao the most was the magnifying glasses, microscopes and dozens of optical instruments made by Sun Yunqiu, the manufacturer of Yushan optical instruments, are unique in the world. They have also written "History of Mirrors" and have been published in the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Fuzhi, a great scholar who was invited by Yun Zhao for a lot of money, did not disappoint Yun Zhao's silver coins. In "Siwenluo: The outer chapter", he put forward the concept of metabolism of organisms. He said: "The quality and the day are born and the shape is the same... The muscles are born and the old are gone, which is unknown to people. People see that the shape remains unchanged but do not know that the quality has changed..."
Now, we are doing the work of removing the mysterious and mysterious words in the article. After this book is republished, it will become a real scientific work.
Yu Ren and Yu Jie co-authored the book "Yuanheng's Horse Treatment Collection" and re-explained the treatment experience of horses, cows and camels, and won the highest honor in Yushan - the Royal Science Award.
In the fourth year of China, Gu Yanwu's "Zhaoyu Zhi" and "The Book of the World and the Counties and the Counties and the Counties and the Counties and the Counties" compiled by Gu Yanwu was also officially written. In the book "The Book of the World and the Counties and the Counties" that Gu Yanwu affirmed that replacing the feudal system was a historical progress.
Although the county system also has its drawbacks, it is absolutely impossible to reversely implement the feudal system. Gu Yanwu also pointed out that the disadvantage of the county system is that the imperial power is too autocratic.
Although there are not many words that accuse the imperial power, it has caused a huge uproar in Yushan Academy. Many people think that this description is a great disrespect to Yun Zhao.
However, Gu Yanwu didn't care and sweared that he would not change a word. After being criticized by many people, Gu Yanwu, who was angry, even added many mistakes that Yun Zhao made since he ascended the throne.
The criticism was extremely painful, and he also blamed Yun Zhao for all the mistakes made by officials in the world. If you only read this book, Yun Zhao would be a tyrant monarch far beyond Jie and Zhou.
After reading it, Yun Zhao was furious and shouted that he would dismember Gu Yanwu's five horses... However, this book, which added a lot of comments on Yun Zhao's "Book on Profits in the World and Countries and Countries", was still published as scheduled.
Because Yun Zhao was furious, the book was still in short supply after it began to publish 20,000 copies, so it finally printed 80,000 copies, making it the largest number of books published in the Ming Dynasty in the four years of China.
At this moment, Xu Xiake returned from watching the mountain and devoted himself to compiling his travel notes. During the four years of China, he reprinted his travel notes - "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes".
Fang Yizhi, a young professor at Yushan Academy, finally published his own work on physics research - "A Little Knowledge of Physics" after studying physics for many years.
Among them, in Volume 7, he summarized the method of practicing coke in Yushan: "Coal is produced everywhere. If it is smelly, it is burned and melted and closed. It becomes a stone, then chiseled and put into the furnace, which is called a reef."
After seeing this, Yun Zhao scolded Fang Yizhi, thinking that the language he wrote was obscure and difficult to understand, the craftsmen could not understand, the scholars could not understand, and they did not know who they wrote for.
Therefore, before Fang Yizhi's book was sold, it was taken back and burned by Fang Yizhi, and was ready to be re-compiled and then published.
The symbol of the prosperity of an era is that all kinds of talents emerge, all kinds of discoveries emerge, and all kinds of industries are extremely prosperous.
Therefore, when Yun Zhao came back from the Yushan Academy's research results exhibition, he was in a good mood. Even though he had an unpleasant argument with Gu Yanwu at the venue, overall, he was in a good mood.
Philosophy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, medicine, agriculture, astronomy, and geography have made great progress, which has given Yun Zhao even more hope for the future.
The Ming Dynasty population census has ended. Today, the Ming Dynasty has a total population of 164.52 million. Nearly 8,000 newborns are born every day, and there are about 3 million new people throughout the year.
For every newborn, Yun Zhao, Qian Duoduo, and Feng Ying have sent them the most sincere blessings. As long as a newborn is born, this family will receive three silver coins of breast milk.
The pharmacy bureau, which has long been spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, must register each newborn. All medicines and medical treatment costs are not required to be spent on the royal family. They will not stop until the newborn reaches three years old.
In addition, in Lantian, the policy that both men and women have land distribution rights has increased significantly.
Today, the Ming Dynasty did not lack land at all. On the contrary, there was still a large amount of unowned land that needed to be cultivated by people. Therefore, controlling the population only had an impression in Yun Zhao's mind. As for others, more children and more blessings, and a large population was a manifestation of a strong national strength.
As for a country, feeding the army will consume a lot of national funds, but the Lantian Dynasty was not like this.
Since the day the Lantian army was born, the army has been a profitable unit.
And it is the third unit to pay the most money and grain in the Daming sequence.
Although everyone knows that the army does not produce, even fools know how their money and food come from.
One by one, people holding guns, dragging cannons, and driving warships, it is difficult for their means of production to have other flowers besides the things in their hands.
As of now, as long as the place where the Ming Dynasty is not belongs, it is a place where the army makes money.
It is the Southwest and the Navy again, and their contribution to the military's wealth exceeds more than 70% of the military's overall wealth.
At this time, Yun Zhao's self-confidence had reached its peak.
His huge fleet was sailing on the sea.
His huge army is expanding in all directions.
His people were working day and night to produce more wealth for the empire.
His ministers were tirelessly planning for the future of the empire.
At this time, he, the emperor, could naturally take a break.
"I'm still angry with Gu Yanwu?"
When Hanling Mountain came, he saw Yun Zhao lying alone on a brocade couch, half-awake, and asked with a smile.
"No, I just wanted to take a break, and I didn't think about anything in my head."
Yun Zhao answered lazyly.
"You can take a break, look, Li Dingguo has taken Jinzhou."
Yun Zhao took the military newspaper brought by Han Lingshan and looked at it: "Didn't Wu Sangui resist fiercely?"
Han Lingshan put his butt and his hips on the table and lit a cigarette: "The Guanning Iron Cavalry ran the fastest, and Chu Dayong, who was guarding the city, was blown to pieces, and the people in Jinzhou City resisted the most intensely."
“Because of our land policy?”
"That's right. Wu Sangui did a good job and told the people in Jinzhou that after we came, we would take away the land they had already reclaimed, take away their cattle, sheep and deer, take away their houses, and redistribute them.
Therefore, even if the Guanning Iron Cavalry retreated, they would still resist desperately."
"How did Li Dingguo do it?"
"There is no time to reason at this time, so Li Dingguo chose to attack. In the face of artillery, those people who wanted to rely on the big sword and spear in their hands to defend their wealth had no chance."
"Severe death or injury?"
"It's very heavy, especially after Zu Dashou forced all the people in Jinzhou City to shave their hair, many people felt that they had no way to survive."
"Huh? Did Zu Dashou catch it?"
"No, I ran away with Wu Sangui."
Yun Zhao put down the battle report in his hand and sighed: "Where can he run?"
Han Lingshan said: "They are determined not to return to the Ming Dynasty."
"I don't want it even if I come, I'll just need to come back."
"Has Tokugawa Ie-gun's messenger come?"
"Here I am here, waiting for His Majesty to summon him in the square of the People's Palace outside the representative meeting."
Yun Zhao lazily turned over and looked at Yushan outside the window and said, "What do you think will 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 envoy of Tokugawa Ikawa Ikawa said that every moment his Majesty delayed summoning them, they would cut off a person's head."
"Oh?" Yun Zhao sat up in surprise. He really couldn't imagine the consequences of these people committing crimes in Yushan.
"Oh, I didn't make it clear. The head of the messenger, Hatoyama, said that every quarter of an hour, he would cut off a messenger's head as apologize."
"Oh, then it's all right."
