Chapter 303 Watching the sky at night, there will be no rain tomorrow
That night, the whole Zhuangzi was quiet, except for the sound of the study room being turned around frequently.
It's just past midnight.
"Brother, it's getting late now, why don't we send him back to rest first.
Have a good rest tonight, and you can continue watching tomorrow!"
"That's fine, you should go to bed early!"
"yes, Sir!"
The group of people returned to the guest room and rested.
But when I saw this book, I was still excited, so I sat aside and started reading again.
In the blink of an eye, the rooster crows outside. Unexpectedly, the night passed so quickly?
I yawned and it was morning.
The rest of the group woke up, finished cleaning up, and went to the restaurant to prepare for breakfast!
"I'll go and say, Kong Fuzi, aren't you in particularly good shape?
Didn't you read all night last night?
Let me tell you, the body is the capital of learning. If you like reading and studying, that’s fine, but you must also pay attention to your body.”
"Hahahaha, Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I know my body myself.
But I looked at these books yesterday and liked them very much.
Especially the Dream of Red Mansions is very well written.
There are other books that I also read.
Regarding the postpartum care of sows and the planting of trees and flowers, I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be involved in such a wide range of topics.
These books were all written by Mr. Zhao."
This time Zhao Mu shook his head.
"Confucius, you really think too highly of me.
Even if I were to write a book from my mother's womb, there would be so many books in the whole study room and bookshelves that I would not be able to finish.
Some of the literature in it, as well as other things, were written by me.
The rest of the sow maintenance, trees and flowers, and other things were not written by me, but I collected them."
"Oh, I see, that's what I said."
He had thought before that there were so many books in the whole study, and even if he wrote hard, it would be impossible for one person to be so fast, right?
When I heard Mr. Zhao's explanation today, I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be honest.
If these books are unprecedented and unprecedented, Mr. Zhao can just say that they were written by himself, and no one else can verify them.
But today, he openly admitted that he did not write it.
It shows that he is indeed a person who does not care about fame and wealth. I really admire him.
"Mr. Zhao, if you have time today, I would like to discuss more with Mr. Zhao."
That's it, let's lure the wolf into the house.
Zhao Mu felt like his head was pounding. He was already dizzy after talking for a long time yesterday. Could it be that he had to study for another day today?
As if he already knew what Zhao Mu was thinking, Confucius burst into laughter.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, there won't be too many problems today. It won't take too long, half an hour at most."
"That's good, that's good."
I took a deep breath, their desire for knowledge was really terrible.
"Good brother."
Just when a few people were eating, drinking and chatting at the dining table, Li Er and Chang Sun Wuji rushed in.
Ask someone to prepare breakfast and sit in front of the table.
After seeing a few of them, Li Er didn't say much nonsense. You talk about yours and I'll eat mine.
After breakfast, I told Brother Xian that I was going back to Chang'an and got up to leave.
At this moment, Yuan Tiangang hurried in.
"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, the date you asked me to calculate has been calculated by me."
At Yuan Tiangang's words, Li Er was about to turn around and leave, but he also stopped and looked up, wanting to hear what they were going to say.
What date?
"Master Zhao, I watch the sky at night. Today at three quarters of noon, there will be dark clouds passing over Chang'an City."
Are there dark clouds passing by?
Doesn’t this mean that after all the hardships, the sweetness comes and the nectar is ushered in?
"It's just Mr. Zhao, it seems that these dark clouds can only gather together, but they can't bring rain."
Yuan Tiangang sighed helplessly as he spoke.
By observing the sky at night, you can predict weather changes, but you cannot control God.
Li Er, who was excited just now, immediately fell down.
This is not a good thing. Why is this kind of talk so popular now?
Can't we just say all these words directly, simply and crudely?
After hearing what Yuan Tiangang said, Zhao Mu thought for a moment.
"It doesn't matter, as long as there are dark clouds gathering together, we can artificially rain by then."
Artificial rainfall?
Li Er, who was standing aside, his eyes lit up again.
I have always listened to my daughter, Xiandi, and the others again, am I going to see her today?
"My dear brother, do you have the right time, right place, right people, and the right people this time?
Are you really going to implement artificial rainfall?”
Li Er was excited, his hands were trembling, and he looked at Zhao Mu with expectant eyes.
If my dear brother actually implemented artificial rainfall, he would have done a great good deed for the people of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that I'm really confused at this moment. Should I stay in Zhaojiazhuang or go back first?
Changsun Wuji, who was on the side, said softly.
"From the shopkeeper?"
Li Er thought for a moment, although he was also curious about what the artificial rainfall meant.
However, there are indeed many things going on at the court, and it would be a pity that I can't stay in Zhaojiazhuang longer.
But there are a lot of opportunities, so come and take a look when you have the opportunity in the future.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Er left Zhaojiazhuang and set off in the direction of Chang'an.
"Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by artificial rainfall?"
Kong Xian was dumbfounded again. Why did a new word appear? He didn't understand it!
The so-called artificial rainfall requires us to use human power to control the clouds in the sky to make it rain.
Ah, this?
Shouldn't it be God who can control the rain? It's incredible that we ordinary people can control God.
"Master, I am not trying to manipulate God, but to master God and its laws to make choices."
"Mr. Zhao, are you not a god?"
"I am just an ordinary person. How can there be any gods in this world?
What I am talking about is called science. As long as you master science, you can master these laws.
So as to understand the mystery.”
"Mr. Zhao, can you tell me what science is?"
At this moment, Kong Xian also turned into a curious baby and began to make various inquiries.
From what is science?
From the round sky and square place, we talked about the earth being round, and the place we live in is actually a sphere.
Let’s look at the distance between the moon, sun, and stars in the sky, and where we are.
The earth is constantly rotating around the sun and rotating on its axis, which is why the difference between day and night and the four seasons of the year are distinct.
"Um, Mr. Zhao, I also want to ask Mr. Zhao to ask a question?
Before, my ancestors of the Kong family traveled eastward and met two children named Bianri.
A child thinks that the sun is closer to us when it first rises and farther away at noon.
The other child, on the other hand, is on the contrary. Mr. Zhao, which one do you think is closer and which one is further?"
I??????
Zhao Mu felt particularly helpless.
I'm teaching science to you now, why are you asking me questions again? This chapter has been completed!
