Chapter 139: The Extra-Exclusive Theorem

In the Zunhua Iron Works, Wu and Bi saw some uses of steam engines.

Wu and Bi sensitively felt the powerful effect of the steam engine.

The most important point is that Wu and Bi discovered that the steam engine burns coal and does not use grain. That's a huge plus.

The horses on the gallop are all eating grain, really to say, the grain and grass consumed by these horses is not a small number, and for the people of the Ming Dynasty, many times the grain and grass eaten by horses can correspond to the food of the poor.

Grain and grass are limited, but coal is unlimited.

Especially for some places in northern China, such as Shanxi.

This coal is really how much there is, and when I opened the local chronicles, I saw that I don't know how many prefectures and counties said that they produced coal.

Wu Youbi didn't fully see the revolutionary role of the steam engine, but just some of the things he saw were already infinite benefits.

The theory in Wu and Bi's hearts is officially completed.

He didn't wait to return to Jingshi at all, and began to write at the desk.

He first found the theory in Zhu Zi's theory, that is, the theory of the distinction between the two principles.

What does it mean to be divided?

The distinction between science and science is a key node, and it was not invented by Zhu Xi, but it is found in Ercheng's Taoism, and to be specific, dozens of papers can be decomposed to analyze this concept in various senses.

I won't expand on it here

In a nutshell, it is the theory that there is a principle between heaven and earth, and this principle can be embodied in all things, that is, there is a principle in each thing. One reason in every thing is the heavenly principle.

This theory is also the basic theory of science.

Even Wang Yangming's bamboo may not be the practice of this theory.

Wu and Bi first combined the present and brought into play this thing, explaining that the heavenly principles of existence were combined with various substances to form their own principles. The study of each principle is a way to analyze and observe the principles of heaven.

If this is the case, Wu and Bi's theory is also ordinary, because this theory has also been put forward before.

Wu and Bi immediately turned into practice.

He incorporated the study of the steam engine into this physical practice.

The study of the steam engine is divided into two stages, the first stage is to analyze the theory of steam. The other is to apply the principle of steam, so as to do the principles of heaven for the benefit of the people, and to walk the royal way.

As long as we can exhaust all the material principles of heaven in the world and practice the way of heavenly principles, it will be enough to calm the people, set the world, achieve a well-off, and achieve great harmony.

It seems that Wu and Bi do not have many creative ideas in the whole article.

It's just a consolidation of a lot of existing things.

But this integration is quite substantial.

After all, the way of Confucianism has its own set of discourse system and a set of historical context, and Wu and Bi completely integrated scientific experiments into the Confucian system.

Without Wu and Bi's profound Confucian roots and status, it would have been impossible.

Not to mention, Wu and Bi even included many roles of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, such as Suihuo, Nest People, etc., into this system, so that this system suddenly has a deep foundation.

After Wu Youbi finished writing this article, he only felt sweating profusely, and his whole person was about to collapse, and there was only one thought in his heart, and he said secretly: "Even if I go underground to see Xue Xuan today, I can be ashamed." ”

On the same day, Xue Xuan died defending the road. Wu Youbi didn't say much. It's not that he's afraid of death, but that many times, life is harder than death.

Wu and Bi's article, although there is a place to vote for the emperor, but it also points to the defects of science, which is known as the sincerity of learning and self-cultivation, and the family rules the country and the world.

However, there are quite descriptions and methods of how to cultivate one's self and family with sincerity and sincerity, but how to govern the country and the world is very flawed.

Now he's made up for it.

Of course, he also knew that many of these concepts were cut off from the emperor's ideas.

Can it be called copying just a reader's business?

Especially after the deposition of the hundred schools, it is already a very common thing to change other people's theories for their own use.

For this article, Wu Youbi immediately sent this article to Tianli Newspaper and published it immediately.

After Zhu Qizhen got up early on this day, he still felt a little troubled when he remembered the insistence on rewarding Belin with the cabinet.

Generally speaking, the ministers chosen by Zhu Qizhen are all people who have both ability and integrity, and choose people who are consistent with their political views.

But there is a problem with this, a person who is capable and ethical will certainly have his own political opinions.

It is also very uncomfortable to have political disagreements.

Zhu Qizhen failed to convince the cabinet several times. This time, not only the civilian officials opposed it, but also the military generals. It's even harder.

He ate his breakfast while he asked Wynne to read the newspaper.

Wynne read the contents of Ming Pao first.

Zhu Qizhen didn't react, still using a silver spoon, drinking the white porridge in the porcelain bowl unhurriedly.

Today's Zhu Qizhen has long passed the age of dogs and horses, but he misses the food in his previous life, and what he eats is just ordinary white porridge, fried dough sticks, and a few vegetarian dishes.

But when Huai'en read the content of Tianli Bao, the silver spoon in Zhu Qizhen's hand suddenly did not move, and Zhu Qizhen pricked up his ears and listened to Wu Youbi's article in a daze.

After Huaien finished reading it, Zhu Qizhen immediately asked Huaien to take it

Come. It doesn't matter what white porridge is not white porridge. I watched it over and over again.

It seems that I can't finish reading anything.

"Your Majesty," Wynne said, "the time for the morning has come." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Let's just say that I occasionally feel cold, and I will not be able to go to court today." ”

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Qizhen goes to the early dynasty every day, although the early dynasty is more ceremonial in nature, but the emperor himself has a ceremonial responsibility.

Let the officials see the emperor, which is conducive to stabilizing the hearts of the officials.

It's just that at this moment, Zhu Qizhen can't care about this.

He repeatedly scrutinized this article, using his shallow knowledge of Confucianism to find out the flaws or incomprehensible places.

It's not that Zhu Qizhen doesn't appreciate this article, but he appreciates it too much.

Zhu Qizhen has always wanted to complete the grafting between the scientific system and the Confucian system. It's just that there are too many problems in this.

Although it does not talk about ghosts and gods, it interacts with Buddhism and Taoism, and naturally has a sense of unnatural power.

Many times, Zhu Qizhen doesn't know how to connect the two.

Even if he has some ideas, he can see the flaws in the words he actually writes.

Now I finally saw an article that could seamlessly connect the two, and I don't know how many obstacles were opened up for Zhu Qizhen at once.

First of all, Zhu Qizhen's promotion of the status of scientists will have a large number of supporters among civilian officials. Of course, because of the local conditions, Chinese scientists are probably called physicists.

It doesn't matter what kind of home it is, what matters is what you do.

Secondly, Zhu Qizhen can justifiably incorporate some things into the national plan.

Don't underestimate it.

A lot of scientific research, Zhu Qizhen is engaged in in the name of Shaofu.

While the Shaofu is getting bigger and bigger, there is already a lot of opposition among the civil officials. Moreover, there are some deformed development trends in Shaofu.

has always maintained the behemoth of Shaofu, which is not conducive to the development of the imperial court.

In the future, how to deal with the Shaofu and let the civil officials not interfere is a problem. In this way, some things in the Shaofu cannot be independent of the cabinet.

At the very least, the cabinet must have a certain amount of command, or leadership, in the ministry.

In this way, it is difficult to say whether some scientific research projects can be continued. It's all too normal for people to die. Now that he has opened up his thoughts, Zhu Qizhen is at least not worried that after his death, science will become a heresy, or a strange and obscene technique

That's a big win.

More importantly, this theory can bring a steady stream of scientific talents to Zhu Qizhen.

Whether Zhu Qizhen wants to admit it or not, the high-quality talents of the Ming Dynasty have always been among the scholars and doctors, and even some families are first-class in future generations.
