Chapter 1257

"For example, the four-wheeled carriage that the minister dedicated to His Majesty, and the four-wheeled carriage that is now very popular in Bianliang, Tokyo, are both stable and comfortable, why is that?"

"It's the same horse, pulling a two-wheeled carriage, maybe 1,500 catties is already the limit, but if it's a four-wheeled carriage, then don't say 1,500 catties, it's twice the weight.

A horse can still pull fast, and here there are a lot of geometric and physical problems that apply......"

"As for chemistry, Your Majesty must know how powerful my Great Song Dynasty's gunpowder weapons are, and using charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur according to a certain ratio, igniting with fire, and finally producing a violent explosion, there is a physical and chemical reaction here......

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

And when it burns out, only a small residue remains, and its solids are completely gone, because its chemical properties have changed greatly, from solids, to gases or ashes......"

Wang Yang's explanation, maybe some places are not very professional, but it is enough to fool, well, to persuade the emperor of the Song Dynasty more than a thousand years ago.

Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, couldn't help but be fascinated when he heard it. "I really didn't expect that these little casual things actually contain the principles of physics and chemistry as well as mathematics and geometry that you said.

Seeing the eyes of Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, full of admiration and admiration, Wang Yang still humbly said to himself.

"In fact, the minister is just more willing than ordinary people to observe the changes of these seasons and things, and then try to figure out the reasons and reasons, plus synthesize the principles of those predecessors, so as to summarize the ......"

"With your ability to figure out truth and knowledge from the things you observe, I'm afraid there won't be many people ......in this world," an old voice sounded from outside the door.

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

Wang Yang hurriedly saluted the scheming Empress Dowager. "Congratulations to the mother."

"Grandmother Huang, why are you here, it's such a cold day, be careful of catching a cold." Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, hurriedly stepped forward, and helped Gao Taotao to sit down in front of the stove.

"The mourning family is also bored, and I want to come over to see the official family, but I didn't expect that when I heard Wang Wushan's words, I was deeply touched......" Gao Tao looked at Wang Wushan, who was sitting on the side with a kind eyebrow, and smiled.

"These truths of yours are very fresh and novel, but they are extremely useful to my industry, commerce and armaments in the Great Song Dynasty, and the mourning family heard that you used a lot of novel materials and tools to build houses for those homeless people in Huanglongze, so that in such a short period of time, those tens of thousands of homeless people can move into new homes before winter comes."

"It turns out that the emperor's grandmother also knew, and at that time, my grandson heard rumors that Wang Wushan cut corners and built houses for those homeless people, and he actually used hollow bricks, and the roof actually used hollow prefabricated slabs instead of tiles."

The grandson also specially asked someone to inquire, and asked them to bring some samples, so that they knew the reason, these hollow bricks, not only very strong, but also warm in winter and cool in summer.

The prefabricated panels used for the roof, although it looks simple, are very sturdy, even if people walk on it, they will not crack at all, and they can also dry things on the roof, or put heavy objects on it......"

Wang Yang smiled very shyly and explained. "Those hollow bricks and prefabricated panels are actually the products of Chen's own trial production."

"I just think that nowadays, when I need large-scale construction, I often need to transport timber thousands of miles away, and now, the price of timber is so expensive that ordinary families can definitely afford it."

"Cement is a ready-made building material, and the important thing is that all the bricks used in the past cost a lot of earth, so he wondered if he could make a building material that was light in weight but suitable for building houses......

The Empress Dowager listened to Wang Yang's vivid narration of his invention of hollow bricks and prefabricated slabs, and she was very fond of it.

At the end, he also commented a few pertinently, hoping that Wang Yang could teach those students who were too learned to teach the truths he had pondered, so that those students could also benefit the Jiangshan Sheji and the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Yang naturally agreed, but soon, he did not appear to be full of fighting spirit as the Empress Dowager Gao Tao and the Son of Heaven Zhao Xu thought, but his face was solemn, and his expression was very serious and he saluted the two big guys.

"The minister is naturally willing to give what he has learned to those students, but the minister is very worried about a problem."

"Maybe it won't be long before there will be countless scholars with the Four Books and Five Classics in their hands, who open their mouths and say that they are benevolent, and Meng who closes their mouths and take righteousness, and who claim to be Confucian protégés and disciples of saints, will impeach Yu Chen to His Majesty and to the court......"

"Wang Wushan, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, looked at Wang Yang a little confused, not quite understanding.

And the scheming Empress Dowager Gao Tao frowned thoughtfully, as if she understood what Wang Yang was worried about.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that when Weichen was on the North Shaanxi Road, he once ran a vocational school?" Wang Yang directly made his words clear.

"The school taught some basic mathematical, geometric, and physical problems, so that craftsmen who did not have much knowledge base could master the principles of textile machinery as quickly as possible.

After they understand the structure and reasoning, they will be able to find a suitable job in those many workshops with the knowledge they have learned, and they will be able to solve their own livelihood. ”

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

In the same way, this is also the reason why the Son of Heaven instructed Na Shen Kuo to open the Gewu Department in Taixue, and the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Ministry of Officials would always try their best to find the ballast.

"It's okay, if they impeach them, you will continue to do what you think you should do, I know that all this you have done is for my Great Song Dynasty, and I hope that you can cultivate countless virtuous talents for my Great Song Dynasty that are useful to the country."

"When they are tired of impeachment and know that my will is unshakable, then it will naturally stop."

When the Son of Heaven said this, he turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, and Gao Taotao also smiled slightly. "The official family is reasonable, those ministers impeached Wang Yang, it is really better to block it, and the mourning family believes that Wang Wushan, you will definitely not feel that their actions will have an impact on you."
