Section 484 This is pure waste of money

That thing is so amazing.
Wanyan Xiang wants to see it.
Han Tuozhou took Wanyan Xiang back to the mansion, and there was a clock in the courtyard where the front yard of the Han Mansion welcomed guests.
The height is about six feet.
Wanyan Xiang looked carefully. This thing was many times better than the one that Xu Chiguo spent tens of thousands of yuan. The back cover was opened, and there were countless dense copper gears, large and small.
The craftsmanship of clockwork is still not enough, so it uses a heavy hammer to provide power.
Wanyan Xiang studied the incense stick for a full time and asked, "Prince, what's the use of this object?"
"Time. Tap it every time it reaches the right time."
“Is it cost a lot?”
Han Tuozhou sighed: "Since I had this item, I have been in a state of peace in the backyard. My concubine used to spend money randomly on buying clothes and jewelry. The money spent on just one item is more than the money spent on buying clothes and jewelry in a year by one person in my backyard."
"It's so annoying. They dare not come out to cause trouble because it was my eldest lady who spent the money, but they often say something annoying to me."
Wanyan Xiang believed what Han Tuozhou said.
The concubines in the backyard compete for favors are sometimes very annoying.
Think about it, aren’t jewelry fragrant?
Aren't treasures fragrant?
I have to arrange something that can be done by paying a few cents a month for a more powerful person, but I have to make one that I can knock on myself twice. Isn’t it good to exchange for such a lot of money for a hard bow?
Wanyan Xiang thought of another thing, which Han Tuozhou mentioned in Jin Zhongdu.
My own son who can burn money.
"Prince, can you see that there is an object that can carry people to the sky in your residence?
"Of course, let me prepare for two days."
"Okay, one word is determined." Wanyan Xiang must look at it, not only to confirm that Han Tuozhou once said that his son spent money like flowing water, but also to see what the strange thing Han Jiang played with was.
After seeing Wanyan Xiang off, Han Jiang said to the Song Dynasty officials who accompanied him: "Stay stay in the mansion and eat some light meal before returning?"
A middle-aged young official stood still and didn't move.
Han Tuozhou did not know this person. This was a historian. His mission was to record every word and deed of the Jin Dynasty's mission. If there was any major event, it would be kept in the record.
The official circled around the clock three times, and his eyes were placed on the other side.
Han Tuozhou greeted him: "What's wrong?"
The official shook his head: "The Jin people are barbarians. As the prime minister, they have short-sighted vision. This thing is the way of heaven, and this heavy hammer swing is to use the land of heaven and earth to maintain the most accurate timing. And the other thing, the official thought was even more extraordinary, but he couldn't figure it out. What is this."
It is five feet high, made of pure copper, and placed on a wooden stand.
This is a piece of scrap, a piece of scrap of Liufenyi.
It’s not that the design failed, but that the data was wrong after trying to make it, and it was left as a souvenir.
Han Tuozhou asked: "Who are you?"
"Seiguan Taishi Bureau, Deputy Supervisor of Sitian, and Yang Zhongfu."
Han Tuozhou ordered: "Come and entertain others." Then he said to the young official Yang Zhongfu in front of him, "Come with me."
There is a real big thing in the side yard.
The core is made of pure copper, and the rest is made of mahogany and is built on a solid stone platform. The name of this object: the water transport instrument platform can be said to have used the highest process controlled by Han Jiang, and even roller bearings are used.
This thing was first invented by scholars from the Northern Song Dynasty and was destroyed after the Jingkang Battle.
To find the original picture, it really cost a lot to restore this object.
Yang Zhongfu's eyes were straight.
He applied to the court sixteen times and asked for some money to be approved so that he could make the water transport instrument station, but no one cared about this matter and would not give him any money.
Han Tuozhou didn't show him this.
But another thing.
A table, a pure copper object only one foot in size.
Han Tuozhou put an hourglass on the table: "A stick of incense stick, I understand what this is. I will give you a future."
Without a stick of incense, even before Han Tuozhou reached out to the tea bowl, Yang Zhongfu spoke: "This thing uses the improved theory of Qihen and Liujian, with the center of the intersection of the north and south ecliptics as the horizontal line, Chang'an City as the vertical line, and the sky and earth as the grid. If the Xiaguan guessed well, when this thing was made, you can borrow the sun during the day and the Beidou at night for positioning at sea."
Han Tuozhou was shocked.
Talent.
This is talent.
This is Han Jiang's study. I have been studying this thing for several days but haven't figured out what it is.
Finally, I wrote a letter to Xishan, and my daughter-in-law replied to explain the use of this thing. This small official from the Taishi Bureau actually understood it in such a short time.
Han Tuozhou said, "This thing cannot be used for the time being."
Han Tuozhou didn't say why it couldn't be used. Yang Zhongfu immediately said: "Because, this thing is assuming that the world is a ball, then the vertical line must be 360 ​​grids, and the horizontal line has not been calculated. It is divided into the middle line, and the north and south are ninety grids. Only with these data can this thing be valuable."
"No, not enough. You need to position the world. The previous charts were all waste paper."
Han Tuozhou began to win over: "I will promote you, but this thing must be kept confidential."
Yang Zhongfu even more directly: "I resigned from office, just want to concentrate on research. I can just have coarse tea and drink."
Yang Zhongfu, a great man who calculated by paper and pen, had 365:2425 points a year. Unfortunately, he was eventually dismissed from office, but this value is the best in history.
In the absence of celestial mechanics, advanced mathematics, or astronomical telescopes.
I really don't know what he used to calculate this value.
After Yang Zhongfu showed his attitude, Han Tuozhou smiled: "I am not stingy, if you want to study these things, I can't make the decision."
Yang Zhongfu was puzzled.
In his opinion, the court would not study these.
The official family is even more... an idiot.
I just read and read a lot, but I didn’t learn the principles in the book at all.
Yang Zhong gave a gift: "Please give me advice."
Han Tuozhou laughed:
"These are my sons. If you want to study the mission of this official, if you get my son's consent, don't study these. Have you ever heard of the ancient Greek calendar, the ancient Roman calendar, the ancient Babylonian calendar, the Mayan calendar, and the legendary Atlantis, where there was once a brilliant civilization and then the entire land sank into the sea."
In fact, Han Tuozhou had no interest in these things. He understood the word Rome, but he didn't understand any of them except him.
But Han Jiang said all day long, and Han Tuozhou wrote down after he talked too much.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand, it doesn't prevent Prince Han from pretending.
Yang Zhongfu was shocked. He never expected that the Han family Shaojun had studied so deeply.
The calendar is only about what is convenient for people to calculate time in daily life. But to put it in depth, it is about astronomical science.
Chapter completed!
