Because Huojia County belongs to Weihui Mansion and is the place of Huaiqing Mansion, although Zhu Zaiyu is only the son of King Zheng, there are inevitably people in the court who talk a lot, so he still chose to come quietly and did not alarm anyone.

However, after Gao Pragmatic entertained the officials and gentry of the two provinces, he still followed the highest etiquette that could be shown at this time, not only specially burned incense and bathed, but also sent a cavalryman to clear the field outside the gate of the courtyard where the local rich gentry borrowed him temporarily, and then opened the middle door and personally waited at the door, waiting for Zhu Zaiyu, the son of King Zheng.

Although Gao Pragmatic is only a student, his reputation among other scholars is quite not low!

He is not only the author of "The Shadow of the Dragon's Whip", "Xinzheng Rhyme", and other masterpieces, but also has a close friendship with many famous literati!

However, at this moment, he walked to a tightly covered carriage with a solemn face, personally lifted the curtain for the guests in the carriage, and bowed respectfully: "After the end of school, I entered Xinzheng Gao and was pragmatic, and I have seen Mr. Jiufeng." It is a great blessing for the students to be able to come this time! Please, sir. ”

"Huh? Why is Gao Longwen like this? The one who got out of the carriage was about forty years old, with a clear face, dressed in dark brown and a Dongpo scarf, and looked like an ordinary middle-aged scribe.

The "Mr. Jiufeng" in the mouth of Gao Shishi is Zhu Zaiyu, the son of King Zheng, and he is called Jiufeng Mountain Man by his nickname.

"Mr. Jiufeng is the world's legal sect, I heard that he is now writing "The Harmony of the Law Calendar", although he is not talented, he also yearns for it."

Zhu Zaiyu stood still, stared at Gao Shishi for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I heard that Jinghua Gezhi School has been continuously recruiting mathematical talents from all over the world in the past few years, I originally thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that it is really not." ”

Gao Shishi smiled, didn't speak, and didn't take advantage of the situation to make any invitations - he was Wang Shizi, even if he was willing to go, he wouldn't be able to go to Jingshi.

But Zhu Zaiyu's face quickly sank again, and said: "But the matter of "Legal Calendar Integration", even if even my cronies around me are not very clear, Gao Longwen can explain it in one word, it seems that some people's suspicions back then are really not unreasonable, and the current Dongchang and Jinyiwei probably don't know what their surnames are." ”

Gao Pragmatic laughed, shook his head and said: "This matter was told to the students by the emperor, Mr. Jiufeng should not be misunderstood." ”

Zhu Zaiyu's face changed slightly, he knew that he couldn't take it. He was originally a simple person, and he didn't look like a prince at all, but the emperor was in Beijing, and he actually knew how far he had reached in his academic research, which ...... Can you talk more?

Who is Zhu Zaiyu who can make Gao pragmatic so polite?

In the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zhen as a heretical thinker, Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing as scientists, Tang Xianzu as a playwright, Xu Xiake as a geographer, and Li Shizhen as a medical scientist, all of them entered the annals of Chinese history with great fame.

However, if it weren't for a speech given by the third generation of the core of the Red Dynasty abroad, hailing Zhu Zaiyu as one of China's historical celebrities who influenced the world, Gao Pragmatic would not have known that there was such a genius as Zhu Zaiyu!

Why is this happening? After checking the information of this genius, Gao Pragmatic became more and more surprised, this person is simply China's Da Vinci!

As early as a few hundred years before Gao was born, Westerners hailed his "Twelve Equal Laws" as China's fifth greatest invention, acknowledging that he opened a new chapter in the world of music, and recognized it convincingly. Without the 12 equal temperaments, there is no subtle transition from C major to G major; Without the twelve equal temperaments, keyboard instruments cannot be tuned; Without the 12 equal temperaments, the piano music, known as the king of musical instruments, could not have been produced......

Also, in addition to the twelve equal temperaments, Zhu Zaiyu also maintained the first to produce a set music instrument - string accuracy; The first one is made with an abacus; He was the first in the world to establish the 'Department of Dance' and set up a syllabus for this discipline. His research in the fields of astronomy, calendar, mathematics, physics, and computing continues to influence today.

He pioneered the method of solving the proportional number series, which was more than ten years earlier than the Dutch mathematician Steffen. His law of twelve equals, fifty-five years earlier than the French scientist Merson; The methods and formulas he proposed for the calibration of wind instruments were 300 years earlier than the same theory in the West; He composed a large number of melodic scores, three hundred years earlier than the "Piano Collection of Equal Temperament" by the world's earliest German composer; His "Complete Book of Music and Rhythm" can be compared with the masterpieces of the same era, such as "Heavenly Creations", "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", "Compendium of Materia Medica", and "Xu Xiake's Travels...... But why did he fall into obscurity?

Oh, it turned out to be because of the Tatar Qing.

Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of the attitudes towards the cattle in various industries in the three centuries of the Ming Dynasty and the Tatar Qing Dynasty are still recognized. Even the heroes who fought against the Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty were mostly commemorated in the Qing Dynasty.

However, for a strange person in the sixteenth century of the Ming Dynasty, the attitude of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty is quite exceptional - not only to block, but also to "stink"!

In this matter, the "holy monarchs" such as Kangxi and Qianlong of the Taqing Dynasty have spent great effort. He organized the ministers of the court many times to launch a "siege" against the prince of the Ming Dynasty more than 100 years ago, and even went into battle in person. For example, Qianlong, the "perfect old man" of the Taqing Dynasty, wrote a number of articles in his own handwriting, scolded this strange man of the Ming Dynasty, and listed the "Ten Major Crimes" for him.

The strange man of the Ming Dynasty who can make the Tatar Qing chieftains spend great efforts to suppress is the middle-aged scribe in front of Gao Shishi and a recognized giant in the history of world science: Zhu Zaiyu.

For example, in astronomy, Zhu Zaiyu found the loopholes in the calculation of Chinese astronomy in the past dynasties, and re-set the formula for calculating the length of the regression year. His calculation of the length of the year of return in 1581 was only 21 seconds wrong with modern high-tech calculations. Even the geographical location of Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, was accurately measured by Zhu Zaiyu, and the data is exactly the same as the modern latitude and longitude: 39°56'N, 116°20'E.

In the field of mathematics, which is the basis of science, Zhu Zaiyu's achievements can be called a blowout: he developed a series of calculation formulas for nozzle correction and accurately measured the density of mercury. He also creatively used abacus to open the square, and the equation he pioneered solved the decimal conversion of different advance positions. These calculation methods are not only often used in modern science, but also represent the pinnacle of world science at that time. Also with the pinnacle of mathematical ability, Zhu Zaiyu, who likes music and rhythm, has also completed a far-reaching and "hateful" major achievement in Taqing: the law of twelve equals.

The 12-equal temperament, also known as the 12-equal rhythm, is a system in music that divides a set of octaves into twelve semitones. This novel legal system was obtained by Zhu Zaiyu with a super-large abacus of 81 gears, using the world's leading opening method at that time. In the history of world music, it has even more cross-era significance: the problem that the fifth degree of rhythm and pure rhythm in music for thousands of years cannot return to the palace has been beautifully solved. The creation of musicians and the development of modern music have since had a broader platform. But in the Ming and Qing dynasties, this great creation made Tatar Qingqi so angry that it was smoke.

Because music is not an entertainment issue in Taqing, but a major issue related to etiquette and regulations. Therefore, Zhu Zaiyu's new creation, in the eyes of the Tarqing Emperor, is a serious deviance. So the captive chief Kangxi desperately plagiarized Zhu Zaiyu's achievements in his work "Lu Lu Justice", and at the same time desperately distorted the attack. In the Qianlong period, in addition to writing articles in person, the captive chief Qianlong smeared Zhu Zaiyu as a "speculation", and even ordered Wang Jie, Peng Yuanrui, Dong Huan and other ministers to initiate a bitter criticism of Zhu Zaiyu. As a result, this great scientist and his achievements are also in the rolling scolding, and the sadness is hidden in Chinese history.
