Chapter 752: Kite Flying
The inside story of why the emperor wanted to repair the geographical chronicles seems to have spread throughout the city of Beijing overnight.
In fact, the affirmation that came from Li Tianjing did not involve the issue of water power at all, but in fact, in the evening, the "well-intentioned people" in the entire city of Beijing knew that the emperor had repaired this geographical chronicle in order to seize the "landscape".
The cement factory must be built around the city, and there must be raw materials, fuel, and water power.
This matter was determined from Li Tianjing's mouth to be related to the human altar, in fact, it was the end of it, Li Tianjing did not confide in more things, but when the actual news was transmitted, he added the thing of water power, as for who first added the content of water power, no one knows, anyway, the rumors are like this.
Some of them are fast, they have already sent people to deliver letters out of the city overnight, and some are ready to take the mail route. The volume of mail in the capital has increased suddenly, and it still has to be expedited by 600 miles.
Now that he knows the emperor's thoughts, it is natural that he has to intercept the emperor in front of the emperor and do what should be done, and he has to seize the opportunity.
It seems that overnight, a strange wind blew in the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Reform also has a blind attitude towards this, allowing everyone to ferment this matter and pretend not to know.
In the days after this incident came out, Yang Reform met the ministers several times with some strange eyes, such as the meaning of "I see through the emperor's intentions" in those eyes, such as "Your Majesty, don't want to fool us, Your Majesty eats meat, and we will also drink soup", which made Yang Reform feel a little funny. This matter was leaked by yourself, and you really think you have taken advantage of it?
Some ministers thought that they had seen through the emperor's "scheme" and were complacent, and Yang Reform was happy to pretend not to know. Yang Gai knows that these officials of the Ming Dynasty have always had a donkey temper of not leaving, playing backwards, and you are asking them how to behave, they must have policies and countermeasures, and they will do everything possible to distort your meaning. But if you are secretive, hidden, and sneaky, they will have the spirit to find out the inside story and gossip, and they will definitely do it secretly.
Yang Gai hoped that the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty would carry forward this "problem" of taking advantage of others, and take advantage of other people's things as if they were their own. Therefore, Yang Reform actually hoped that the Ming Dynasty would blow the wind of "rushing to buy resources".
In fact, this matter cannot be kept secret for too long, even if it is not said that the cement plant is related to water power, in fact, when the site selection of the cement plant over there in Xishan is finished and ready to be put into production, this secret will also be revealed in broad daylight.
……
When the entire capital was still "secretly interpreting" the emperor's intentions, Zhang Xianyong finally ushered in what may be the most important moment in his life.
He's about to send the thunder down to the earth.
Zhang Xianyong doesn't have much talent in scientific research, but in the end, this thing was supported by Yang Reform, and the way of doing things is always passed down in the same vein. Once the direction is determined, then, the research is overwhelming, regardless of the cost, and it is verified by exhaustion.
As Zhang Xianyong, it is difficult for him to get a few kites and some copper wires. As soon as this experiment is rolled out, it is overwhelming, without dozens of kites, they are embarrassed to meet people, Zhang Xianyong is ready to plant a wide range of thin harvests, try to collect what he needs in place, if he is not busy with anything in this rainy season, then he may not have a chance until the next rainy season. …,
After being instructed to prepare for the experiment, Zhang Xianyong meditated alone and went to the retreat, and the content of the retreat was that Zhang Xianyong considered whether he wanted to participate in the experiment in person? It's better to let the apprentices be responsible, and they only need the results.
This question made Zhang Xianyong think about it for a long time.
Thinking of the sensation caused by his success in leading the thunder to the earth, Zhang Xianyong did not want to throw the credit to others no matter what, and then thought that if it was confirmed that the thunder and lightning in the sky and the electricity on the ground were the same thing, then this sensation would be even more incomprehensible, and he Zhang Xianyong would immediately become a "fairy" who could fiddle with thunder and lightning. He Taoism has always had such things as the Five Thunder Fa-rectification, and he is not willing to lose such a great opportunity in vain, he still wants to "prove the Fa" in person.
After thinking about it for many days, Zhang Xianyong finally made a decision, the consequence of this matter is that he can't give up in person, depending on the emperor's meaning, the emperor probably wants him to participate in the experiment in person, rather than really asking him to let his apprentices do it. Thinking of the scene when he and the Yiren missionary were "selected" by the emperor in front of the emperor, Zhang Xianyong understood more that he was a puppet in the emperor's hands, and the emperor told him to move how he moved, and as a puppet or chess piece, he should have this awareness.
"Anyway, I, Zhang Xianyong, as a fifty-first generation heavenly master, if I am unfortunately struck by lightning and die, it is also my life, no wonder others, this fame and fortune are related to the prosperity of my religion, and the descendants should fight for it, when I carry forward my teaching and fight ......for it, the ancestors of the past generations are on top, please bless the descendants of the unscrupulous......" Zhang Xianyong thought about it for many days, and finally decided to go into battle in person.
Silently bowing to the sky, Zhang Xianyong walked out of the place where he meditated and practiced. This thing that led the thunder to the ground, he Zhang Xianyong wanted to do it alone, and he was also ready to collect this consequence and achievement by himself, and he wanted to really fight it back.
"Master......"
"Master......"
Zhang Xianyong's apprentices have been waiting for Zhang Xianyong outside, and everything is ready.
"Hmm......" Zhang Xianyong's expression was solemn, he nodded, and walked out of the room. The first thing is to look up at the sky.
The sun was no longer visible in the sky, the clouds were thickening, and the light had dimmed, a sign of impending rain. Thunder often comes with rain. This is a good opportunity to verify whether the thunder and lightning in the sky are the same thing as the electricity rubbed on the spot.
"Aomine, are you all ready?" Zhang Xianyong asked.
"Master Hui, they are all ready, there are a total of seven hundred and forty-nine kites, each kite has three people in charge, Yi people are responsible for kites, Yi people are responsible for observation, one person is responsible for recording ......, looking at the sky now, it seems that it is going to rain, master, it should be the right time to ,......" Zhang Xianyong's apprentice immediately replied.
"Good! Since the formation has been set up, let's take a chance, except for the people who participated in the formation to go with the master, the rest of the people will stay here......" Zhang Xianyong said immediately, with an indisputable tone in his words.
The apprentices all agreed.
"Daddy...... the child is also willing to do this on behalf of his father, Dad, this matter is too dangerous...... Zhang Xianyong's son immediately said anxiously, leading the thunder and lightning in the sky to the ground, this kind of thing that makes people feel terrible when he hears it, he has the idea of going into battle on behalf of his father.
"No, Ying Jing, stay here, you are not allowed to ......go there" Zhang Xianyong is face is indistinguishable, his tone is very resolute, he is willing to fight for a future, but he will not lose the inheritor of his family, he is dead, so that his son can continue to be the teacher, if the father and son are dead, it will be a big joke. …,
"Daddy......" Zhang Yingjing was very anxious.
"Okay, don't say more, this matter is settled, remember, if there is any accident in my father, in the future, Ying Jing must remember that everything should be in accordance with His Majesty's orders, but remember......" Zhang Xianyong thought about it, and said to his son in an indistinguishable tone.
Zhang Yingjing is Zhang Xianyong's eldest son, how can he not be anxious when he hears his father's words as if he is explaining the future, but his father is talking about this matter with an extremely rare seriousness, and he is not allowed to argue at all, and he has no way except to be anxious.
After explaining, Zhang Xianyong immediately strode forward.
The apprentices behind him also followed with solemn expressions.
……
The place of the experiment is actually a fairly open place, and with Zhang Xianyong's current prestige, it is not difficult to borrow such a place to do things.
Zhang Xianyong soon entered his position, and the rest of the apprentices also went to their positions one after another.
The so-called seventy-seven forty-nine kites actually occupy a fairly wide area. It took a lot of time just to disperse and put people in place.
Originally, he didn't need so many kites, but Zhang Xianyong was afraid that he would fly a kite in vain, and he really had the idea of planting a wide range of kents, getting them in place at one time, and recording them in many ways, so he got dozens of kites at once and made up a more elaborate number like seven, seven, and forty-nine.
In fact, this is also done by exhaustive methods, because there are many things to test the mines, such as gold, silver, copper and iron, such as sweaters, leather pants, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, etc., so, all of a sudden, this scale has come up, in order to have a plural during the insurance period, and there must be more preparations such as a few sheep or something, so this scale is not small.
Such a large-scale test, although it consumes a lot of energy, there must be a lot of things that can be recorded, and a lot of things can be gained at one time, which is still worth it compared to his efforts. He Zhang Xianyong wants to produce results as soon as possible, this northern weather is dry, and it is not easy to encounter rainy seasons, who knows when it will rain next time.
Zhang Xianyong silently chanted the prayer that others couldn't understand, and after finishing the chanting, he inserted the incense candle in his hand into the incense altar.
"Aomine, are you ready? If you are ready, start to release it, look at the sky, if you don't release it, I'm afraid it's going to rain, and if it rains, it's troublesome, and I'm afraid that this kite won't be able to put it down......," Zhang Xianyong said.
"Yes, master!" Zhang Qingfeng immediately agreed.
After speaking, he waved it away, and on the hillside in the distance, someone immediately waved a red flag. This is to notify the people in the distance that it is time to start flying kites. Seventy-seven forty-nine kites, this territory is really a bit wide.
Zhang Xianyong is flying a kite himself, this kite, are pulled by a winch, not put in people's hands, according to what Zhang Xianyong can understand, since he wants to lead down the thunder and lightning in the sky, there is no need for the thunder and lightning to pass through the rope that pulls the kite, although Zhang Xianyong lacks common sense and does not understand electricity, but he is not an idiot, he knows what the consequences of the thunder in the sky hit people, so he made so many winches to pull the kite, and the line of the kite was also tied with copper wire, and it could not be pulled without a winch.
Zhang Xianyong's apprentice took the kite, only in the distant side of the wind lightly, the kite immediately caught the wind, flew up, and immediately drove the winch wheel to rotate, and it rose to the sky in a few moments.
Zhang Xianyong gave an order, and seven hundred and forty-nine kites began to fly together, not all of them had good luck, they could put kites into the sky in such a strong wind, and many people's kites just flew up a little, and they immediately plunged into the ground. …,
This is also the reason why Zhang Xianyong prepared 7749 kites at one time, at least half of the kites did not fly at the beginning, and among the kites that did not fly in the past, some of them could still be picked up and fly anew, and some of them were already tied up and could not fly at all.
Zhang Xianyong was very attentive to flying kites, and his own kites were put into the sky, so he had time to look at other kites, and saw that they were only about half of the flights, and he already counted them in his heart. I don't care too much.
"Okay, Qingfeng, let's have more, and leave the rest to God......" Zhang Xianyong saw that the kite had already flown into the sky, and immediately said, he is not a fool, and he doesn't want to use the human body to test the power of thunder and lightning, so once the kite is put into the sky, he immediately prepares to evacuate, and the rain comes.
He is not afraid of flying a kite, what he is afraid of is flying a kite in a thunderstorm, and what he is afraid of is to draw down the thunder and lightning.
"Okay, master, wait for the apprentice to tie up the copper wire...... Zhang Qingfeng immediately agreed, and then used a copper wire to pull the kite, and then tied a sheep to the copper wire, the sheep had already been tied to death, unable to move, bleating there, the sheep was wrapped with a lot of copper wires, and the copper wires that came down from the kite were some distance from the copper wires on the sheep. This is exactly Zhang Xianyong's means of verifying that the thunder and lightning in the sky and the thunder and lightning on the earth are the same thing.
According to the phenomenon on the ground, the moment a person comes into contact with electrified clothing, there is often a flash of lightning. If thunder and lightning in the sky and thunder and lightning in the earth are the same thing, then the wire on the kite that is about to touch the sheep should have a spark of electricity between the sheep and the sheep.
"Well, let's hurry up and get more after it, it looks like it's going to rain, it'......s easy to fly a kite, but kite wind on a thunderstorm is not so fun," Zhang Xianyong urged. Indeed, everyone knows how to fly kites, but it is better to fly kites in a thunderstorm.
"Yes, master, the apprentice has already tied up ......" Zhang Qingfeng immediately ended the work at hand, his master Zhang Xianyong didn't say that it was okay, this kite flying, he didn't play less when he was a child, and he had never been so thrilling, as soon as his master reminded him, he remembered what he was doing, this is leading the thunder and lightning to the ground, once the thunder and lightning are really led down the ground, it is not a joke.
"Okay, tie it up and signal it, let the others hurry up immediately, don't stay under the line all the time, forget about the kite that hasn't been released, don't let it ......go," Zhang Xianyong said. At this point, the benefits of making seven seven or forty-nine kites at a time were reflected, and even if half of them were unsuccessful, he still had more than two dozen successful.
"Yes, master!" Zhang Qingfeng immediately agreed, and then waved the flag in the distance. People on the hillside in the distance also immediately waved their flags.
After the flag was waved, no one flew the kites that did not fly, and they all hid......
At this time, only the two dozen kites flew in the sky.
The place where Zhang Xianyong sheltered from the rain was slightly better than that of other places, it was a land temple, and it was slightly renovated and expanded, accommodating a few people.
The other apprentices took refuge in makeshift buildings. They're going to make a record in it.
"Qingfeng, have you ordered everything? Tell them to stop flying kites, it's going to rain, it's still flying, how can this work......" Zhang Xianyong stood at the door of the Land Temple, looking at some people in the distance, as if they were still trying to fly kites, Zhang Xianyong immediately anxiously ordered again. This kite flying is not usually fun, this is to lead the thunder to the ground, this is going to rain, it is estimated that the thunder is coming, still "playing", think this is fun? Zhang Xianyong was so anxious that he wanted to scold.
"Yes, master, the apprentice will give instructions again......" Zhang Qingfeng also saw that there were still people flying kites in the distance, and immediately said. So, he walked out again and waved the small flag in his hand. People in the distance waved flags again and signaled for personnel to evacuate.
After a while, no one was flying the kite anymore. Zhang Xianyong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, can this work? Flying a kite into the sky can lead thunder and lightning down? The apprentice still doesn't believe it, if this is really the case, then why did the apprentice never encounter thunder and lightning when he flew a kite in the past? Zhang Xianyong's apprentice asked in disbelief, it is true that flying a kite can lead thunder and lightning to the ground, and so many kite flyers have not seen anyone hacked to death every year.
"You fly kites on a sunny day, how can you compare to a kite flying on a thunderstorm? What's more, this kite also uses copper wire on the lead, how can it be compared with the playful kite? Zhang Xianyong began to educate his apprentices.
"The master is right......," Zhang Qingfeng, Zhang Xianyong's apprentice, immediately admitted.
"By the way, Qingfeng, the record book, you can get ready, don't forget, the teacher will personally record the scene when the thunder and lightning go to the ground, this is the key ...... the prosperity of our sect, but you must not forget it because of the natural vision at that time......," Zhang Xianyong commanded again. He didn't know the bottom in his heart, for fear that a "real Lei Gong" would come out when the time came.
