Anyone bought it ten million? This missionary is either the emperor's child care or has a water in his mind, right?

The Ming officials thought so in their hearts.

Including Zhu Zai-chan himself, he thought that he could sell one-tenth of Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" and picked up his head and laughed. He could pay off the emperor's loan, but he didn't expect that the emperor offered 10 million...

Zhu Zaiyu didn't dare to think about it. He did think that his theory was very valuable. After all, he boldly and completely abandoned the old law system that had been for more than a thousand years.

But is the value really that great?

The emperor asked him to try to make a piano based on the twelve equal rules, but the piano is different from ordinary ancient zithers, and the most difficult one is the strings.

If the strings are not good, the audio we need cannot be achieved, thus losing the meaning of the piano.

Zhu Zai-chan can't find the reason why he can't make a standard piano himself.

And Zhu Yili knew this better than anyone else.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, even in a few hundred years, today, piano strings must be imported from Germany and Japan. China cannot produce strings suitable for piano use.

Although we learned to make steel shortly after humans invented iron, steel has better physical, chemical and mechanical properties than the original pig iron, so it was quickly used in large quantities.

However, due to the limitations of technical conditions, people's application of steel has always been limited by steel output. It was not until the industrial revolution in the 18th century that the application of steel has developed rapidly.

So at this time, it is impossible for Zhu Zai to make a decent piano based on the twelve equal rules he invented.

Just like let Yu Dingqian and Yu Dingkun's twin brothers study and make a decent bicycle. Because they do not have the key materials, even if they have the prototype of the bicycle, they can only be called defective products.

It must not stand the test.

Zhu Yiliu knew it was unrealistic, but he was still willing to support them in research. After all, all research results cannot be successful at one time. They are made by experiencing continuous exploration and failure and then accumulating experience.

Only after failure can they know where the flaws are and where they work hard.

For example, Zhu Zai-chan discovered that the most difficult thing to make a piano is piano strings, while Yu's twin brothers found that the most difficult bearings and tires to make a bicycle.

There are actually all kinds of prototypes, but because the technical conditions are not met, the requirements cannot be met.

Could it be that this foreign missionary knew how to make a perfect piano? And there are also materials needed for the most difficult piano strings?

This is Zhu Zai's estimate when he was surprised, otherwise why would he dare to bid 10 million? The designation will not be just for this book and a theory, but as a project that can make money by investing.

Although Zhu Zai-chan has not yet made a perfect piano, he knows that the piano structure is complex and if it is successfully produced, it will definitely be valuable.

After all, the Emperor also said that the twelve equal laws are an outstanding contribution in the history of acoustics, and pianos must be based on this theory to set the pronunciation.

Although Zhu Zai-chan was also shocked by 10 million, he knew how to earn the money back as soon as possible, that is, to make a piano based on his theory.

Do it as a project that can make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zai's heart seemed to gradually calm down. After all, if a piano was made based on his theory and a perfect sound was set, it would be a bright future.

The missionary who promised to buy 10 million taels of silver was from Germany.

Zhu Yiliu was also more at ease. Germany really represents the pioneer of technology.

The first missionary who wanted to buy and bargain came from France.

When everyone's eyes were turned to the German missionaries, he just heard him say:

"If I buy it, it will only cost 10 million if I don't bargain, but can the right to use be extended to two hundred years?"

"Okay!" Zhu Yiliu nodded and agreed, "Two hundred years will be two hundred years, and the deal will be completed."

The French missionary shook his head and sighed, saying dejectedly: "What a pity, what a pity..."

Zhu Zai-chan felt like he was about to fly.

Ten million, five million... He is really about to own five million? If he really has so much money, he must use it to study and make a good piano.

Other countries in the world are under the jurisdiction of German missionaries, but the Ming Dynasty still belongs to him and the emperor.

Other officials of the Ming Dynasty kept their voices and felt like they were dreaming, and they didn't believe it at all. They didn't know how awesome the twelve average rhythms were.

I don’t know that this can be used to make a piano and use this theory to set the piano.

For people who don’t understand, isn’t “10 million” a fantastic number?

French missionaries wanted to buy it first, and at this time they regretted and longed to say to German missionaries:

"I actually want to buy it, but I don't have enough money, but I like this theory very much, and I believe that I can definitely shine and make me invest in it?"

Of course, he spoke not Chinese, but the language translated by the translator.

Zhu Yiliu and Zhu Zaiu were both very pleased. It turned out that there were indeed soulmates among the foreign missionaries.

Only by truly understanding and knowing how to use it can you dare to spend so much money to buy it.

It can be seen that he is a real person.

Although there are very few, there are still some.

From the beginning of excitement, Shen Yongjia was a little desperate as if he had bottomed out and rebounded.

Because the value of Zhu Zaiyu's "Twelve Average Laws" is too scary, Shen Yongjia dared not think about the value of his own human sketching art.

At first, like Zhu Zai-kun, he also fantasized about selling one-tenth of Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", then he would be satisfied.

But when he saw that Zhu Zai's works sold for 10 million, he no longer dared to think about it.

So let it be left to fate. Anyway, it depends on the emperor, how the emperor arranges it.

Zhu Yiliu said to the German missionary: "After signing the agreement and paying the payment later, the development and management rights of all countries except the Ming Dynasty will belong to you."

Then he turned his attention to Shen Yongjia and said slowly: "Next, I will introduce you to the third treasure art, a woman's body sketch."

No one listens attentively.

In fact, it is usually believed that sketches originated from Western Europe and are part of Western painting.

As a painting style, sketches existed before the Middle Ages. Because early painting materials were difficult to preserve, their traces were only reflected in the illustrations of religious books at that time. The pictures were basically in line drawings, and most of them were very weak and naive.

Since the Middle Ages, there have been painting workshops like masters and apprentices, and apprentices have learned how to copy craftsmen's sketches, but their artistic level is very low.

Sketching developed into the Renaissance and made a qualitative flight. Painters (representative figures Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Vasari, Chugari) established scientific basic theories of painting, art theory and sketching theory based on extensive practice.

Among them, art anatomy, perspective, and light and dark shaping theory have promoted the progress of sketching art.

But no matter how you look at it, the female body sketching at this time is still a new thing.
