Chapter 223: Craftsmanship and enlightenment of all things

People who often become emperors understand that their image does not only belong to individuals, but especially when they are outside, they must always make a political attitude.
Zhu Yijun originally wanted to go and see the new school.
But colleges also need to be senior, and cadres must be ahead of technical colleges.
Since the emperor left Donghua Gate, he had to start a gentle smile and turn around the Imperial College.
First, we exchanged the latest progress in philosophy, which is the latest theory and theory since the debate in the second year of Wanli.
Let’s look forward to the beautiful picture of jointly governing the world with the supervisors.
Finally, I would like to give some encouragement to the imperial examination three days later.
It was not until the students around that they began to show signs of tears that Zhu Yijun hurriedly left and went to the school opposite the street.
It has been a while since the last time the emperor visited the institution.
Two small saplings planted in front of the gate during the construction of the courtyard were planted. After seven years, they were already level with the courtyard wall.
Four lacquer carved solid wood are getting older.
Perhaps because someone always writes and draws it on the screen wall of the inscription, two servants were set up as a rotating officer in the Imperial College.
Zhu Yijun did not enter immediately, but stood in front of the gate and looked up at the plaque.
It is Xu Jie's handwriting, with four big characters - Qiushi Academy.
The emperor stopped and said nothing, sighing, and he didn't dare to come forward to disturb him.
After a while, Zhu Yijun slowly spoke: "Last time, Master Xu and the Emperor's uncle submitted this name, I just gave it a brief look and approved it. I still haven't had time to ask about the origin."
Regarding the emergence of science and technology, he adhered to the attitude of careful care and never applied too much fertilizer to turn over the soil.
Even if the college frequently requests to give a name, Zhu Yijun tried his best to suppress his evil tastes - the name he named can carry the continuation of his spirit.
However, outsiders did not have the qualifications to name the academy, and no spirit was condensed in the academy, so it was vacant for several years.
At the end of last year, Xu Jie and Zhu Zaiyou suddenly submitted a memorial saying that they had set their names and wanted to write a plaque.
Zhu Yijun was busy with other things at that time, and he had no time to ask about it.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hong hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, this matter should start from last year."
"At that time, Liu Dunkai published a great article in the new newspaper "On the Criticism of Mathematics Over the Thousand Years and Its Future Development Direction", pointing out the current situation where mathematics is not systematic and has unclear futures."
"At the end of last year, Prince Zheng proposed that, together with Cheng Dawei, Liu Dunkai and others, they would hold a meeting to discuss the law together, and the main theme was "Reforming Our Mathematics."
"I don't know very well about the specific content. I only know that at the meeting, the college reached a great consensus and decided the name of the college."
"Take the word "seeking truth from facts" in "Han Shu: Biography of King Xian of Hejian" - exploring the truth from self-deduction and confirming the law from existence."
"So he was named 'Qiushi Academy'."
Zhu Yijun's expression was quite complicated and he nodded slowly.
Seeing that everyone around looked at him, he added with a smile: "The name is pretty good."
After a while, Xu Jie came out of the gate of the college and came to greet him with a cane.
Seeing this, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and asked him to follow him left and right: "Let's go."
...
Unlike the Imperial College, the political atmosphere of Qiushi Academy is very thin.
The children of nobles of high birth are used to seeing the emperor, and the people of low birth are as afraid as tigers and wolves, so the hospital did not make any scenes of welcoming each other and tears filled the eyes. The emperor also specially expected the teachers and students to continue the class.
Only Xu Jie led a few government officials to accompany the emperor.
"I heard that you held a conference a year ago, on "Reforming Our Mathematics"?"
Zhu Yijun asked casually.
The article "On Mathematical Criticism Over the Millennium and Its Future Development Direction" was written by Liu Dunkai.
Of course, there is nothing important, it is just urging me to promote the construction of the mathematical system.
As for how to rely on Confucian principles and how to establish sects, it is what scholars like them need to consider.
According to identity, only Xu Jie can accompany the emperor in the academy.
"Your Majesty, the college held a discussion on the law last year, mainly laying the foundation of "Theory of the Truth", taking logical deduction, practical argumentation, and learning from nature, creating "Theory of the Truth of the Truth of the Truth" or "Natural Philosophy".
Zhu Yijun listened carefully.
He has already made a name for himself and established a discipline. He is only one step away from the Zongli School. He has sorted out theories and published them all over the world.
"Among the Prince Zheng, Liu Dunkai and others took logical deductions and found me to open the first college of the "Theoretical Mathematics" alone."
"Cheng Dawei took practical argumentation and opened another college of 'Applied Mathematics'."
Xu Jie bent down and stretched out his hand, leading the way forward, and occasionally answered to the emperor.
Zhu Yijun slowed down, so that the 78-year-old man would not breathe heavily. He couldn't help but quip: "What Master Xu means is that now the Qiushi Academy is also divided into mountains?"
Xu Jie was also the former chief minister who had been in power. After hearing this, he couldn't help but smile.
Where can I get nowhere to deal with people?
However, Xu Jie still skipped his mouth smoothly: "Your Majesty is joking. The matter of learning institution cannot be called a mountaintop, it is just that the direction of learning from nature is different."
"After opening the School of Theoretical Mathematics, Prince Zheng and Liu Dunkai once again divided the geometric mathematics and algebraic mathematics, and studied it separately by the two, but this did not prevent them from studying mathematics together all night long."
"And the School of Applied Mathematics has successively divided physics and statistics..."
Lao Xu is the best bureaucrat in the world.
Even if he is not clear about the specific research content, it still does not prevent him from holding a handful when summarizing the report.
Zhu Yijun smiled: "It is not easy for Xu Qing to ask the inner court for funds in different directions."
Although there are only one thing to say, there are not many people who can reach the level of "study" at this stage. Most of them will at most fight against Zhu Zaiyou and others and beat the edge drums.
There are many directions, although there are standard needs, but it is more convenient for old bureaucrats to ask for research funds.
Of course, he just didn't mind.
Xu Jie echoed and smiled. The emperor had been in power for many years and his keen insight had been trained.
He smiled and the emperor's figure gradually blurred in his turbid eyes.
He is wearing a Taoist robe, transcendent and elegant, his heart is like a mirror, and he is very particular about it.
It seems like an old friend is returning.
"...It's fine. If you ask the Military Weapons Bureau for gunpowder and other forbidden objects without authorization, and even injured my cousin, what crime should you be punished?"
Xu Jie came back to his senses in a daze.
The group had already arrived at Li Chengming's duty room. The emperor was poking around in front of a pile of iron lumps, and his mouth was whispering.
Before Li Chengming finished class, Xu Jie was happy to chat with the young emperor: "The old minister now only has a salary to receive. I would like to ask Your Majesty to be kind. Don't punish again, don't punish again."
Zhu Yijun smiled, no matter whether he believed it or not, but these officials of the court had no choice but to say the emotional intelligence, and they spoke one by one.
I really wish I could make a law for my ancestors. After the cabinet ministers retired, they would stay in the capital to tease the emperor.
"Is this the 'train' prototype that Li Chengming instructed?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously at Tiegeda.
This train is not that train.
It is said that Li Chengming borrowed the idea of ​​water trucks and replaced the power, and failed projects such as "windmills" and "magnetic trucks" one after another, and developed the "train" with gunpowder as the power.
After all, it is just to drive it in a different way, just to turn around.
Xu Jie knew nothing about the principle, so he briefly mentioned the reason: "Your Majesty inspected the pasture and involved the case of corruption in horses. After entering the Beijing camp, he stopped his way of dispatching soldiers to work."
"Whether the price increase in cattle and horses or the lack of labor have seriously affected the mill business at Li Xiaowei's family."
"I didn't know what inspiration I got before, so I wanted to borrow the waterwheel organization and use it on the mill."
"Anyway, it's all repeated actions. The water flow can drive it, and other forces can naturally do it, so I started to think about these things..."
Zhu Yijun did not look up. While listening to Xu Jie's explanation of the reason, he looked at Li Chengming's train from a different angle.
It has to be said that for most mortals like Li Chengming, interests are the first driving force.
He has heard of the monarchy that the country's uncle monopolized the 30% mill business in Beijing.
However, in order to increase production capacity and reduce costs, I started to think about optimizing the process, which is a bit too real.
Zhu Yijun was complaining in his heart, and heard a movement behind him.
"I am the Jinyiwei, the assistant commander of the Jinyiwei, and I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Turning back, Li Chengming rushed over and bowed outside the door.
Judging from the anxiety of sweating, I mostly ran all the way after class - I felt nervous when I heard relatives and children coming to my house and fiddling with their valuables.
Zhu Yijun waved: "Cousin is here just right. Come here quickly and introduce me to your mechanism. Why did you use gunpowder?"
"If I can't explain clearly, I will forbid the college from receiving forbidden items such as gunpowder because of my cousin's health in the future."
As he said that, he pointed to the train in front of him.
After all, Li Chengming is a royal relative, so naturally he will not be restrained.
He stood up and walked to the emperor: "Your Majesty laughed."
Perhaps because of the inconvenience of the shoulder belt, Li Chengming's outer robe was a wide robe, which looked like a navy general when he was worn.
The newest ⊥小⊥小⊥ said⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
He glanced at Li Jin and Xu Jie, knowing that he had been messing around with his own affairs and had been completely sold to the emperor.
I heard that I was prohibited from receiving gunpowder, and I was even more anxious.
Li Chengming took a deep breath, pointed at the iron lump and explained as if he was decent: "Report to Your Majesty, I have named this item a train, which consists of valves, cylinders, rods, shafts, and vehicles."
"When using it, first open the valve, put the gunpowder into the cylinder, ignite it, the rod is driven by an explosion, drives the shaft, and finally makes the car rotate."
As he said that, he pulled the connecting rod in front to show how the shaft and the car were driven.
Zhu Yijun took a deep breath when he heard this.
Is it so primitive?
Explosion is technology?
He asked subconsciously: "The gunpowder explosion is very violent, can you control it without any means?"
Li Chengming scratched his head, and was helpless: "The idea raised by the craftsman said that as long as the valve and cylinder are sealed tightly, there is no problem. As a result, I tried it a few times and it didn't feel that it was very easy to use. I was thinking about whether to improve it or change it."
After saying that, he pushed Xu Jie aside, pointed at the train in front of him, and looked at the emperor.
"First, as Your Majesty said, the explosion is fierce and difficult to control. If you add less gunpowder, the car can't turn a few times, let alone drive grinders and other objects. If you add more gunpowder, it is very dangerous, especially the cylinder, which is not difficult to seal. It also needs to be assembled with valves, stems, gaps or over-assembled, and the effect will be greatly reduced."
"Secondly, the power itself is not good, it is driven by water, and it is endless, and no one needs to take care of it in the middle. Now, the train still needs to be frequently added to gunpowder, which can only save some manpower, but cannot be replaced in large quantities."
"Third, I feel that the control is just unsatisfactory. I poke and move it like a toad. Even if the above problems are solved and can drive the millstone, it can only rotate in a row. The taste of the goods sent is not good, affecting the market."
Zhu Yijun saw Li Chengming talking and felt a sense of strangeness in his heart.
After the proliferation of Yangming later generations, although social morality has seriously declined, the benefits are not lacking.
The so-called "no destruction" does not exist. After abandoning the moral burden of "a gentleman is ashamed of making profits", everyone is a good player in making money, embezzling and accepting bribes, and oppressing good people.
The new theories, new morals and new political environment that have been established have severely cracked down on these harsh and simple passages of money.
The new way to be put on the table now is eight words - the royal franchise, opening the door to do business.
And Li Chengming's current appearance is, replacing manpower at one bite and affecting the market.
It is simply the whole process of the transformation of capitalists in the noble dynasty!
"As for improvement, the craftsmen have thought of several ways. First, they are replacing the gunpowder formula. The gun requires power to match it in this way. The train should do the opposite..."
Li Chengming was still chattering.
Zhu Yijun suddenly interrupted Li Chengming: "Why do you have to use gunpowder to drive it? It's too dangerous. I and my mother are afraid that my cousin will have a good or bad luck."
Li Chengming's words came to an abrupt end.
The emperor rejected his "core technology" when he came up. If Empress Dowager Li said this, it would have been pure concern, but the emperor would probably be different.
Out of trust in the emperor's usual "inspiration" in the past, Li Chengming immediately asked: "I have no better way at the moment. Does Your Majesty have another idea?"
The cousins ​​are in harmony.
Zhu Yijun nodded immediately: "I look at it, isn't it like blowing fish bubbles? One end blows in, the fish bubbles bulge, the other end deflates, and pushes the connecting rod."
Li Chengming thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "It's almost the same."
Xu Jie, who was beside him, glanced at Li Chengming. The Captain Li was still not absorbed by politics. As soon as he thought about things, he subconsciously became casual.
Zhu Yijun naturally would not care about this trivial matter with his cousin, and said to himself: "Since that's the case, why should we choose gunpowder? As long as we can contradict the connecting rod, isn't it? For example, what about blowing air?"
Li Chengming sighed: "I will not hide it from your Majesty, this is my original method."
"However, the wind is too small and the organization has difficulty collecting wind, which is not enough to push the connecting rod."
Craftsmen all say that it is possible to drive it with wind unless they go to the mountain and use huge leaves.
This kind of restriction has no commercial value to Li Chengming.
Zhu Yijun shook his head: "Whip air may not necessarily be wind, how about water vapor?"
Li Chengming was stunned.
Water vapor?
He couldn't help but frown, and subconsciously wanted to refute: "The power of water vapor is slightly weak..."
Zhu Yijun simply interrupted him: "My cousin only talks about mild water vapor."
"Water boils water in the inner court, and the water vapor can often only lift the lid of the pot."
"You and I know that when the emperor's grandfather was practicing elixirs, he was careless and could lift the top of the furnace and soar for several feet!"
"The two have a very big difference in strength, but why?"
After hearing this, Li Chengming immediately remembered what he said just now, the sealing of the cylinder.
He almost didn't have to think about it and blurted out: "The old Taoist priest's furnace body seal must be very good!"
He patted his thighs and paced back and forth in the room: "Yes! Yes! This method is good! Seal the cylinder and pour boiled water vapor into it, which will naturally push the connecting rod!"
"Even frequent feeding is free, you just need to boil water below."
"But the water vapor needs to be discharged when it comes in. This should be easy to deal with. Just add a downward cold pipe, so the water vapor will turn into water when it encounters it."
"In this case, the valve may be controlled by in and out. You have to ask the craftsman for specific design."
"His Majesty……"
Li Chengming turned to look at the emperor, and saw that the emperor and the eunuchs were dark, and Xu Jie and other bureaucrats looked up and smiled.
Bad! He was so proud that he said the wrong thing!
Only then did Li Chengming realize it.
He was about to make a terror to apologize, but Zhu Yijun snorted coldly and took the initiative to expose the matter: "However, it is probably inevitable that the institution and parts are embarrassing and useful."
Steam engines cannot be made simply, and industrial industries require a lot of pre-tech.
What bearings, seals, and high-pressure resistant metals are not overnight.
Even in the key theoretical part, the systematic research on gas expansion work is even more ignorant, and I can only make a little empirical point of view.
But then again, the capitalist market lacks the most demand.
With demand, the first generation of products will be able to be used and the technology will be gradually optimized - at least we have to take a step forward on the iteration road.
Li Chengming was still secretly regretting calling Shizong nickname. He heard this and hurriedly took the steps given by the emperor: "This matter is about to be reported to Your Majesty."
Zhu Yijun turned his head and said, "Oh?"
Li Chengming paused: "Your Majesty, I think that nowadays, all kinds of parts and craftsmen in institutions have different standards, but they even regard them as secrets and word of mouth."
"Once the two parts are different from the blacksmith, it is like water and fire that cannot be matched. At the least, it will fail, and at the worst, it will harm people."
He paused, his tone was a little resentful: "This is how I was injured by the bomb this time!"
Zhu Yijun glanced at Li Chengming and realized what this cousin wanted to say.
"It was also me who found Dean Cheng of the School of Applied Mathematics to establish mathematical models and cooperate with each other to know the problem."
"I think it is possible to order the Ministry of Works to formulate standards for basic parts, institutions, and agencies based on the wisdom of the Mohist school. It is approved by the Ministry of Works."
"In this way, it is not only convenient for mutual cooperation. If there are any missing points, it can also be mathematically calculated and verified, and even optimized and improved later. It is also evidenced and reasonable."
"Only by combining it in this way and studying it in detail can we seize the work of nature and create all things!"
