Your uncle, you've found a treasure!

Tang Yi was completely shocked, this Qi Xuefeng, talent!

First of all, the "Hun Tian Theory" is not something that ordinary people can learn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not only must you have the nature of seeking truth and pragmatism, but you also have to have courage. Because the study of the astronomical calendar is a crime for ordinary people.

This matter has to start with the origin of the Han people's understanding of the universe.

Although the foundation of modern astronomy has basically not contributed much to the Han people, our ancestors have reached the sky, which is enough to impress today.

......

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when a hundred schools of thought contended, the Han people's exploration of "science" was already very developed.

Sometimes, Tang Yi couldn't help but think that if the First Emperor did not unify the six countries, if he did not respect Confucianism because of so many political factors. Then, although China may continue to be chaotic, the civilization process of the whole world does not know how many years it will be accelerated by that great era.

It was an era of masters, and one could even say that it was a civilization explosion.

Okay, get out of the way, back to the point.

At that time, there were different opinions on the understanding of heaven, earth, and the universe, and subjective conjecture still played a decisive role.

However, even with the very limited observation of imagination and the naked eye, the achievements of the ancients are breathtaking.

There are six main doctrines: Gaitian Theory, Hun Tian Theory, Xuanye Theory, Xin Tian Theory, Qiongtian Theory, and An Tian Theory. The first three are the most clustered.

......

Among them, the most nonsense is the "Gaitian Theory" -

"The sky is round like a lid, and the place is like a chess game."

It is advocated that the sky is like a dome and covers the four fields.

The four fields are square, there are Kyushu, where China lives, and Chixian Shenzhou.

Each state is surrounded by a sea of barnyard trees, and beyond Kyushu, there is also the Great Sea of Eikai, which has always been connected to the surrounding area of the drooping sky.

This is also the origin of the ancients using "Kyushu" to refer to the world, and "Shenzhou" means China.

The reason why it is said to be nonsense is that later generations will know at a glance that it has no academic value at all.

......

The more reliable thing is the "Hun Tian Theory"-

"The sky is like a chicken, and the earth is like a chicken."

This theory was made in the Warring States period and was carried forward by Zhang Heng of the Western Han Dynasty (that is, the one who invented the armillary heaven and earth moving instrument). It is asserted that the earth is spherical and occupies the center, and the sun, moon and stars form a celestial sphere around the earth, rising and falling, and the sun and moon change.

This is amazing, although it is still a little far from the truth, but it proposes that the earth is round and provides a scientific basis for the astronomical calendar.

Comrades, more than 2,000 years ago! The wisdom of the ancestors is still very good.

......

And the Hun Tian theory is not the most advanced, the most bullish is the "Xuanye theory" (the name "Xuanye" was only in the Qing Dynasty, and the doctrine began in the Warring States period. ）

The "Xuanye Theory" also asserts that the earth is round, but beyond it is not a celestial sphere, but an endless stream of gas. The universe is infinitely large, and the sun, moon and stars all float on the gas and are also composed of gas.

What do you think? Pretty close to the right answer, right?

It is a pity that the "Xuanye Theory" does not explain the laws of the movement of the sun and moon celestial bodies, and cannot be applied to the calendar deduction, so it is said. "Xuanye Theory" is the least marketable.

(There is also "An Tian Shuo" is an improved version of "Xuan Ye Shuo", which is closer to the truth than Xuan Ye, but unfortunately, Xuan Ye has no market, and An Tianhu?) ）

......

Since "Xuanye Said" is not perfect enough, it stands to reason that "Hun Tian Said" should be okay, right?

After all, its application has been confirmed in the calculus of the calendar and the lack of eclipses of the sun and the moon. Many astronomers in the Tang Dynasty completely denied the "theory of covering the sky", and the "theory of armillary heaven" should be the mainstream astronomical thought that dominated Chinese civilization.

......

It's a pity, wrong!!

The one with the most supporters and the most widely used is precisely the most nonsense and the most flawed "Gaitian Theory".

This pot is going to be thrown to Confucianism again.

The fallacy of "Gai Tian Shuo" that the sky is round and the place is round, and the superior is inferior and inferior, just caters to the Confucian preaching about "rites" and "heaven respects and the earth is inferior", and it just occupies an orthodox position in the theory of heaven and earth in the feudal dynasty.

For example, the royal building of the Ming Hall, which was sacrificed in all dynasties, was round and in line with the will of heaven; The imperial palaces are all square, and they fit into the center of the earth.

In all dynasties, the altar of sacrifice to the sky must be round, and the altar of sacrifice to the earth is also square, which is enough to prove the dominance of the "theory of covering the sky" in practical application.

Even in later generations, the trend of Chinese culture is weak, and the heaven and earth have long been determined, and even the home decoration of ordinary faces and surnames is still emphasizing the pattern of the round sky and the place, which shows that its influence on China is deep, and it has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Although there is a certain market for "Hun Tian Shuo" and "Xuan Ye Shuo" among "high-level intellectuals", in the face of the orthodoxy of imperial power and the "truth" of the avenue, this is just a statement and an absurd theory.

The most fucked up place of Confucianism is here. In order to cater to the ruling class, in order to consolidate the supremacy of Confucianism, it does not matter whether it is scientific or whether it is true or false.

Useful is true, useless, even if the evidence is ironclad, you should not see it, and even beat you as a fake.

Astronomy is just a myriad of tools that are swayed by "orthodoxy".

They can even change or destroy the history of the ancient Xia and Shang dynasties, what else can't they do?

Two thousand years ago!

2,000 years ago!!

The old ancestor has already opened up the second line of Ren Du.

However, it is only for political needs, just to justify oneself, even if the truth is clear, even if there are many masters, even if the heavens are in China......

But history is the history of the victors, and in order to rule, the First Emperor can burn history and truth with a single fire; Dong Zhongshu can respect Confucianism and strike a hundred schools; The Wei and Jin scholars can even deify Taoism and highlight Confucianism.

There are many applications of "Hun Tian Shuo", but it can only be regarded as not knowing. It's not even good to pretend you don't know, you have to hide it, right?

In order to monopolize the calendar, star images, and astronomical theory, since the Tang Dynasty (the Tang Dynasty was the most prevalent period of the Hun Tian theory), the rulers listed the astronomical calendar as a forbidden science, and ordinary people were not allowed to study and question. （1）

Qi Xuefeng's ability to say the Heavenly Theory not only shows that this is not a rotten Confucian who blindly gnaws books, but also shows that he dares to ask the truth.

The most important thing is that just holding the sextant in my hand and looking at it a few times, I don't even know how to use it, and I can tell the principle, this is a genius!!

Tang Yi doesn't care if Hun Tian is talking about the center of the earth or the heliocentric, and how many fallacies there are, as long as Qi Xuefeng understands that the earth is round, as long as he can see something special from this circle, this alone will have something to talk about.

At this time, Tang Yi was really a little excited, and sighed from the bottom of his heart:

"Brother Baishan, great talent!"

And Qi Xuefeng was also attracted by the sextant in his hand at this time, how could he still care about Tang Yi's praise, and said urgently: "Zihao quickly tell me, how to use this sextant?" ”

At the moment, Tang Yi explained to Qi Xuefeng in detail how to use the sextant and the principle.

For half an hour, Qi Xuefeng listened with relish, and nodded again and again from time to time, which made Shen Kuo bitter.

Now he has not yet reached the realm of academic achievement, and he only knows a little about what Tang Yi and Qi Xuefeng are talking about, and in the clouds, this half an hour is more difficult than a day.

"I said, can you take care of my feelings too?" Shen Kuo couldn't stand it anymore and complained.

Tang Yi was stunned, and when he understood Shen Kuo's embarrassment, he hurriedly comforted: "There is a specialization in art, and the strength of the store lies in water conservancy and geology, but it makes the middle brother bored." ”

Shen Kuo pursed his lips, this was the meeting of three fellow practitioners, of course he didn't want to stay out of it, but he really didn't understand it.

Tang Yi said this, and it can be regarded as giving him a step down, searching his stomach and thinking about saying something to fit into the two.

"I understand, this sextant is for measuring and positioning."

"Not bad!"

It was Qi Xuefeng who answered, and he couldn't be excited now. This thing is too delicate, if it is really as Tang Yi said, it is definitely an artifact.

And Shen Kuo frowned, "Since it is like this, how much error is there?" ”

Shen Cunzhong didn't eat dry rice either, so he asked about the idea, and if the positioning of the map was too wrong, it would not be of much significance.

This question can only be answered by Tang Yi, and said loudly: "The accuracy of the production is not high now, and sometimes it may be hundreds of miles away." ”

"Baili!?" Shen Kuo immediately found a catharsis point and intended to hit Tang Yi. "And what's the use of you doing it?"

"A hundred miles away? That is to say, in Kaifeng testing, if you don't get it right, you will be located in the Daimyo's Mansion, how can this be used? ”

Well, a bit of an exaggeration, but the meaning is that meaning.

"Ugh." Tang Yi was a little embarrassed, this is indeed a problem. "That's all I can do now."

Shen Kuo's heart was secretly cool, and he didn't intend to let Tang Yi go, "I listened to you blow for a long time, it turned out to be a semi-finished product." ”

"Enough!"

But it was Qi Xuefeng who suddenly opened his mouth to defend Tang Yi.

"The current accuracy may not be suitable for land application, but it really shows its magic power, but it doesn't care about the 100-mile error."

"Oh?" Shen Kuo asked urgently. "Where?"

"At sea!"

Qi Xuefeng said firmly: "For nautical positioning, especially for long voyages, the maximum error of no more than 100 miles is completely acceptable. ”

"At sea!" Shen Kuo was suddenly shocked, and finally caught something.

Nowadays, navigation technology is still limited to compass and stargazing positioning, and it is good to be able to do the right direction, if you have this thing, it means:

No matter where you go, as long as it is a sunny day, there is a day and a star, you can do it without getting lost, which is the meaning of navigation......

looked at Tang Yi with a look of admiration, "It turns out that this sextant, Da Lang is specially made for your ocean-going fleet?" ”

"Ocean!?" Qi Xuefeng was startled, and looked at Tang Yi with round eyes. "Zihao wants to go to the sea!?"

And Tang Yi was also shocked at this time, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet. The three of them stared at each other and stayed there.

Tang Yi was shocked, this Qi Baishan god was a bit too much, right?

Not only did he understand the principle of the sextant, but he could also see at a glance the significance of this thing to navigation.

A little weakly, he suddenly asked Qi Xuefeng:

"Do you know about the atomic bomb?"

"Uh......"

"Do you know the three apples that changed the world?"

This can't be a peer, right? You didn't have to cross over, did you?

"'Atomic Egg'?" Qi Xuefeng looked confused.

"What are atoms? Can you lay eggs too? ”

"As for the three apples......" Qi Xuefeng looked embarrassed. Xuefeng doesn't know what apple can change the world. ”

"I really don't know?" Tang Yi didn't believe it and continued to ask. "Three famous apples."

Qi Xuefeng said embarrassedly: "Xuefeng's family is poor, but he rarely eats fruits. ”

Well, Tang Yi also had a bad taste.

Looking at Qi Xuefeng's outfit, if he also crosses the crowd, it is enough to be mixed.

"It's okay, I'll ask." Tang Yi cramped and wanted to change the subject.

"By the way, how can you think that the application of the sextant is focused on navigation."

Qi Xuefeng was really attracted by his words, and laughed loudly, "I also want to ask Zihao, why do you want to sail away?" ”

Tang Yi was stunned and said: "Listen to Brother Baishan, Brother Baishan is also involved in navigation?" ”

"Isn't it just dabbling!?" Qi Xuefeng replied proudly. "Snow Peak is the son of the sea!"

What's the situation? Tang Yi was even more confused.

"Aren't you from Luoyang?"

――――――――

Tang Yi was meeting Qi Xuefeng at the same time.

Guanlan and even a few places in Kaifeng City, if you know that this little madman is talking with people at night "not doing his job", he must be angry.

He got into a lot of trouble, but he ended up with nothing.

At this time.

Wen Yanbo was not in Huishan, but gathered with Tang Jie and Bao Zheng in Kaifeng Mansion.

Bao Zheng looked at the list of rankings listed by Bao Zheng in the candlelight, and pointed to a few of them: "You can take it and ask first!" ”

Tang Jie pointed to the names of several other officials and said fiercely: "Shocking case, how can you be careless?" In my opinion, these little officials can also ask questions. ”

Bao Zheng shook his head: "The stakes are important, don't act rashly, so as not to startle the snake." ”

Tang Jie didn't do it, "If you don't catch it, you can't do it, if you don't catch it, it's hard for the people to be angry!" ”

Bao Zheng replied: "No, the time has not come." ”

Tang Jie's eyes widened, "Bao Xiren, where are you?" Must be caught! ”

Bao Zheng didn't give an inch, "Who the hell are you Tang Zifang!?" That's the kind of ventilating message to that family! ”

"That's it!" Wen Yanbo really couldn't stand it, why didn't he do anything, the two cannons of the Great Song Dynasty exploded first.

He groaned again and again, "Just according to Hiren's opinion!" ”

Tang Jie was so angry that his beard was crooked, and he turned the muzzle of the cannon and glared at Wen Yanbo.

"Wen Papi, where the hell are you!?"

――――――

The other side.

Jiafu inner house.

A fat man came to visit late at night, and was directly led by the servants into Jia Changchao's mansion.

Seeing that there was only an old woman waiting in the hall, she smiled faintly and stepped forward to salute: "Say hello to my aunt!" ”

The old woman in the hall chuckled when she heard this, "It's time to come, your uncle has sent you a few times, please come and talk about it before you come......"

Speaking of this, the old woman glanced at the fat man playfully, "The person came, but he came when he was not at home." ”

Gu Fatzi replied indifferently: "Uncle should be in Runan Wangfu at this time, right?" How do you want to see me? ”

The old woman darkened and said softly, "Is it true that Zhizhi doesn't plan to help your uncle?" ”

Gu Kai replied: "Kai is here to resign." ”

The old woman was stunned: "Go back?" ”

"Maybe."

"Alas!" The old woman burst into tears.

"Although my aunt married into the Jia family, she is still the daughter of the Gu family, how can she ......?"

"So heartless!"

Gu Fatzi didn't answer, just stood there so silently, but he couldn't stop complaining in his heart.

Why did the broken ship turn over at the sight of it, and its head was in the water, and it was still squeezing into the boat at this time?

Long.

"My nephew has a word, and I hope my aunt will tell my uncle."

The old woman hurriedly said, "What words?" ”

"One cut in two, a godsend! I hope my uncle won't be obsessed anymore......"

Saying that, Gu Fatzi saluted solemnly.

"That's all, aunt, take care!"

After speaking, Gu Kai turned around and walked away, striding away.

"Collect it!" The old woman cried out.

"Which side do you want the Gu family to stand on!?"

Gu Kai paused for a moment, "Did my aunt forget?" ”

"Gu family, don't stand in line!"

Maybe he shouldn't have come, but he still came.

――――――

And Jia Ziming ......

This time really shouldn't be at home, because 30 million copper coins are out of the warehouse, even if the imperial court sends enough manpower, it will have to be carried for three days and nights.

At this time, he should supervise the loan in Huishan.

It's a pity that he is not in Huishan either.

At noon, Tang Yi's words made Jia Xiangye sleepless, and after thinking about it, he returned to the city before closing the city gate.

At this time, he was standing in front of the door of the Runan Palace.

That's right, Lao Jia didn't go through the side door, maybe at this point, there is no difference between the main door and the side door.

For half an hour, he didn't know if he should go in or not.

If he doesn't go in, even if he has nothing to do with this family, he doesn't know about the tax deduction and even more things.

But once you get in...... It doesn't make any difference if you don't know it.

Just stood dumbfounded, struggling to move and in a dilemma.

The guards at the gate had already spread the word about it.

"What is he here for!? Or walk through the main entrance! Zhao Zongyi's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of doubts.

"This old thing!" Zhao Zongshi beside him was so angry that he hated it. "More and more ignorant of advance and retreat, how dare he stand at the main gate?"

"Thirteenth brother, don't worry." Zhao Zongyi comforted. "Maybe something happened!?"

"You have to be more careful when something happens, don't you have a brain!?"

"Forget it." Zhao Zongyi pressed down the thirteenth brother.

"Han Zhigui is going to return to Beijing in the near future, Cai Xiang is just a matter of the past few days, these two people think that their skills are not much worse than Jia Ziming, but the prospects are promising."

"Get it back!" Zhao Zongshi was still angry. "Looking ahead, not knowing how to forge ahead, how to take on a big responsibility!"

......

"Enlighten the world!" At this time, the guard came to report, interrupting the two of them's thoughts.

"Jia Xianggong has already entered the mansion and is coming this way."

"This bird!" Zhao Zongshi scolded in front of the guards.

"Who the hell is he? Or is it not the person who said about my Runan Palace!? ”

......

――――――――

In the city of Kaifeng, the mountain rain is coming.

In Guanlan, Zhao Zhen was quite relaxed, but it was not easy for Tang Yi.

At this time, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had just finished his work on government affairs, and Li Bingchen stepped forward, "It's not early, let's rest, sage!" ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, revealing a wry smile, "It's a little tired, let's rest." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and spoke out with fierce hatred: "Sooner or later, let him kill me!" ”

Li Bingchen held back a smile, "How can the old slave look at His Majesty's very happy appearance?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen was stunned and glanced at Li Bingchen. "Old thing, where are you?"

Li Bingchen was even happier, "It is precisely because the old slave is a saint that he thinks that little madman is rare?" ”

"You!" Zhao Zhen sighed. "It's better than me."

Li Daguan stepped forward to support Zhao Zhen, and replied that it was not what he meant, "Is the saint going back to the queen?" The old slave let people know. ”

seemed to be asking where to go, but it reminded Zhao Zhen, "Forget it, go to Concubine Miao!" ”

Li Daguan smiled even deeper, "Sage, slow down!" ”

......

Miao Guifei got the news from the inner servant, and when Zhao Zhen's holy car arrived, she was already ready to welcome Zhao Zhen into the palace.

Before saluting, Zhao Zhen had already spoken first, "What about that girl in Fukang?" ”

Concubine Miao was stunned, so she asked Fukang why she came.

"Back to Your Majesty, maybe it's in her room, and I've already slept at this hour."

Zhao Zhen hummed, hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Li Daguan: "Go and call Fukang, I have something to ask her." ”

......

Fortunately, Fukang is preoccupied today, and the waiter has not slept yet.

I went to see Zhao Zhen nervously, and I didn't know what my father asked her to ask.

However, I heard that the guy mentioned the family matter to his father today, and he was scolded, most of which is the case, right?

Thinking of this, Fukang couldn't help but blush, and ran to his father, saying that he wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, because he was thick-skinned enough.

......

In front of Zhao Zhen, sure enough.

Seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen didn't go around the corner, "Today, in front of your mother, I want to ask you, and you have to answer truthfully." ”

Fukang is embarrassed, and his voice is like a mosquito and a fly:

"Father, ask."

"You ......"

"Alas!" With just one word, Zhao Zhen sighed, spread his hands and couldn't cry or laugh. "What's this called?"

Zhao Zhen called Fukang to come to see him, and Concubine Miao knew what was going on, so she could only hurriedly brush Zhao Zhen's arm to appease, "It's all my own family, what do you say?" ”

"Say what!?" Zhao Zhen pushed her back angrily. "I have no daughter, and it's not that I can't get married!"

Concubine Miao laughed out loud: "But who told us to fall in love with that kid?" ”

"What's in the picture?" Zhao Zhen immediately denied it. "It's getting more and more unpleasant!"

looked at Fukang: "As long as you say a word, I will go back to that bastard boy and find you a good husband." ”

"Erchen is willing to ......"

"What?" Fukang's voice was too small, and Zhao Zhi didn't hear it clearly.

"Erchen is willing to ......," Fukang said again.

This time Zhao Zhen heard it, and looked at Fukang with a smile, "I haven't asked you if you want to, what are you anxious about!?" ”

"That kid wants to marry three and share a husband with others, are you willing to do the same!?"

Without even thinking about it, Fukang replied, "Yes......"

"This ......"

Zhao Zhen is convinced, and her daughter, who has always been introverted and indecisive, is happy this time.

I heard Concubine Miao speak out at the right time: "According to the concubine, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this matter." ”

"That child is affectionate and righteous, if he throws away those two girls and marries our daughter, the concubine will not be at ease."

Get!

Zhao Zhen was completely speechless, and the fuck helped that bastard speak.

complained sadly: "Harmony, you are all good people, just a bad person?" ”

"You ......"

"Where the hell are you!?"

......

――――――――

Cangshan is reluctant to write a lot of explanatory texts, the suspicion of water is on the one hand, the main thing is that these things can be found on the Internet carefully, and cannibalism is not interesting.

However, sometimes I have to write because it is very important to let people who don't know know about it. Because it's an important part of the story.

Those who know how to take care of it, and those who don't understand it will also read it carefully, even if it is not a pedigree, you will find that it is actually part of the novel in the future.

(1): Yesterday, a book friend mentioned "private astronomy", because it has little to do with the text, so I won't go into too much detail in the text, which will affect the reading experience.

Here is a clear answer to everyone, private astronomy was not only a felony in the Tang Dynasty, but also a felony in the Song Dynasty, and the lightest punishment in the Ming and Qing dynasties was also a cane punishment.

As mentioned in the article, the intention of consolidating the theory of covering the heavens, but more importantly, the word "astronomy" in ancient times was different from modern times, and more often referred to: astrology, divination, peeping into the heavens and other metaphysical categories.

The prohibition of "private astronomy" has a restrictive effect on theoretical research, but objectively speaking, it is necessary to divide "people". To put it simply, people like Qi Xuefeng must have found one dead and one dead. However, Tang Yi is like this, he just publicizes it, and no one cares.

Literati such as Zhang Zai and Shen Kuo have published astronomical works.

Generally speaking, it depends on whether you are famous enough and whether your status is high enough.

Everyone knows that covering the sky is, as long as you are hard enough, then you can learn and speak. However, how many people believe you say otherwise, without it, there are too many Confucians.

It's like if you say that the theory of relativity is wrong, whether it is wrong or not, human beings have not yet been able to verify it, but no one will recognize you. Because, Einstein's clustering is the same as too much.
