Compared with the rule in the north, the rule of central and southern Burma faced many difficulties due to the small number of Han people and officials. Zhu Yijun, who already had children around his knees in the Forbidden City, discovered that if he wanted to incorporate Burma into Han territory and achieve long-term peace and stability, the newly improved finances would
A big hole appears again - although the annual income in the eighth year of Wanli has reached 40 million, quadrupling that of the first year of Wanli, this feeling is not very good.
Although he feels that he has become poor again, Zhu Yijun is gratified that the contradiction between man and land in the entire empire has been greatly alleviated. One-third of the two-river water conservancy project has been completed.
The continuous advancement of basic water conservancy construction has opened up a large amount of newly cultivated farmland. These lands played a huge role in the Ming Dynasty when the military guard system was changed to the military recruitment system. Coupled with the development of Northeast China, by the eighth year of Wanli
At that time, the per capita cultivated land in the empire reached six acres, and the degree of annexation was very low, basically the same as in the Hongwu period.
Facts have proved that national governance is difficult, but it will become simple after solving the distribution problem. For the Ming Dynasty in the eighth year of Wanli, land distribution was the most important resource distribution. Zhu Yijun finally dared to take pictures nine years after time travel.
Chest said: "A prosperous age can be expected."
With the advancement of the reform, the entire empire reappeared the peaceful and prosperous scene that could only be seen in the prosperous age. When there was a recession in June of the ninth year of Wanli, there was a folk song that "if you are blessed today, you can enjoy it again, the Emperor Wanli was in peace".
Because the folk song spread so widely, the chief envoy of Nanzhili formally reported it to the court and regarded it as auspicious. Some officials in the capital wanted to join in the fun, but they couldn't muster the courage. Because now the whole court has lost sight of the idea of auspiciousness and other heavenly beings.
This has covered most of the ground for argumentation.
As Xu Guangqi, who picked up his father at Tongzhou Pier, said: "Those who are still talking about auspiciousness are probably not stupid, but ignorant."
His father, Xu Sicheng, was carrying his luggage. When he saw his son curling his lips and frowning, he got angry and cursed: "Didn't I see you carrying things? What are you talking about? Can't you just take it over?!"
Xu Guangqi was stunned and quickly reached out to take the leather suitcase from his father's hand. As soon as he took it, his arm dropped and he asked: "Is this outfit out of date?"
After hearing this, his father nervously glanced around at the crowd. When he saw that no one was paying attention, he looked at his son fiercely.
Xu Guangqi was stunned again before he realized what was in the box. He frowned and said, "I told you in the letter, don't bring these. Daddy, listen to me."
His father glanced at him again and cursed: "I've got a hard-on, and I'm engaged. If I don't buy a house, why don't I want my son-in-law to make cold porridge for me?"
Xu Guangqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, so he laughed and said: "I'm telling you, I don't want to buy a house. Besides, this is the master, how can I do it if I don't become my son-in-law? How can I do it instead?"
While they were talking, the father and son walked out of Tongzhou Pier. Xu Guangqi stood on the steps of the pier and waved, and Xu Sicheng saw a luxurious four-wheeled carriage, surrounded by several red cavalry, running along the passage surrounded by wooden railings.
.
A young man wearing the uniform of a chamberlain sat in front of the carriage with the carriage driver. When the carriage stopped, he jumped out of the carriage, approached and saluted, "Is this the noble Lord Xu of the Captain?"
Xu Guangqi nodded, and the internal official hurriedly bowed and saluted. Xu Sicheng had never seen such a royal style, and he was shocked by the luxurious carriage, so he didn't know how to react.
Seeing that he was nervous, the eunuch quickly apologized and said with a smile: "My lord, there is no need to be polite. Her Royal Highness Princess Leping came to pick her up due to the inconvenience, so she specifically asked my servant to apologize to my lord."
Xu Sicheng stammered: "No need, no need, little citizen, how can that one deserve His Highness's kind words?"
The official said auspicious words and reached out to take the bundle from Xu Sicheng's hand. When he reached out to take the leather box from Xu Guangqi's hand, Xu Sicheng said: "No, let him hold it by himself."
The official was stunned, looked at Xu Guangqi with a smile, and when Xu Guangqi nodded, he stopped mumbling and led the father and son into the carriage.
After sitting in the carriage, Xu Sicheng's eyes were out of focus for a long time, and he didn't speak for a long time. He just looked out through the glass window of the carriage at the cement road with weeping willows on both sides, and sighed.
Xu Guangqiyin introduced: "This road was only completed in May this year. My father looked at the flower pond in the middle and heard that flowers and plants can be planted next year. Well, there are many people in the capital now and there are many carriages. My father must remember to go to the right side.
Passage.—You know which way is the right."
Xu Sicheng glanced at him, stretched out his hand and touched his forehead. He cursed, "Do you think Dad is stupid?" Xu Guangqi scratched his head and smiled silently. Fearing that his father would be overheated, he opened the window again.
, the car suddenly became cool.
It wasn't until the carriage entered the city gate that Xu Sicheng finally came to his senses and asked his son: "How did you become the prince-in-law?"
Xu Guangqi's face turned red and he said: "My son published some articles in the newspaper to popularize the study of objects. His Highness was very interested and exchanged letters with his son several times. Later, when the emperor took His Highness to the Study Courtyard, he called me to go there."
We met the Holy Spirit, so we got to know each other."
After hearing this, Xu Sicheng's eyes were bright, and he looked at his son with pride on his face. He asked in a low voice: "Your Highness - this, um, how is his character and appearance?"
Xu Guangqi's face turned redder and he whispered: "Your Highness is gentle and virtuous, and has both good looks and good looks. I'm afraid my son is not worthy of her."
Xu Sicheng patted his back gently and said with a smile: "You don't have to belittle yourself, you are very good, very good. Although you have not pursued a career, how can being an official compare to being an academician?"
Although Xu Guangqi had already reconciled with his father about running away from home, he still felt his eyes welling up when he heard his father's gentle comfort. He said in a low voice: "I am an associate researcher, and I am still one hundred thousand away from being an academician.
Eight thousand miles away."
"Hey, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. How can it be so easy to be an academician? From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of anyone who can't help but kneel to the emperor. If it were easy to become an academician, he wouldn't be in trouble."
Xu Guangqi didn't say anything, and heard his father say again: "Your mother-in-law also wanted to come, because your Ana (grandma) was not feeling well, so she waited for a few days. Well, there is nothing wrong with your Ana, I left home.
It's time for her to be fine. Let your uncle accompany her when the time comes."
"Tell me, my father and I are going to be ministers now? You are the earl, and I am the baron?"
"How much is your salary now?"
"In the future, will you live in the princess's mansion? Should your sister-in-law and I live in our own home or in the princess's mansion?"
"Princess Leping is sixteen, right? Why won't the wedding be held until next year? You are already twenty. Well, your zodiac signs match. Your Ana also said that the dog and the rabbit are prosperous."
Amid Xu Sicheng's chatter, the carriage arrived at Xu Guangqi's house. Although it only had a small courtyard with three entrances, in the capital where land was at a premium, this was a great piece of real estate. After all, many officials in the capital still rented their homes.
...
After settling his father down, it was already dark. Xu Guangqi took a shower, entered the study room wearing a light and breathable silk robe, lit an oil lamp, and continued his work. As a member of the compilation committee of "Imperial Primary School General Textbook"
, he is responsible for the editing work of "Nature".
With the invention of the telescope, the popularization of the round earth theory, and the establishment of the "heliocentric theory", the mystery of solar and lunar eclipses has long been stripped away. At the same time, the accuracy of the revised "Grand Unification Calendar" has also been raised to a new level.
Order of magnitude - this is why Xu Guangqi believes that the "auspicious theory" is completely ignorant.
After Xu Guangqi completed the manuscript of "The Universe We Live In" last year, he read it again and couldn't believe it - does this prove that we live on a big ball in the void?
In addition to the common sense of cosmology, Xu Guangqi had a lot to write. In the seventh year of Wanli, the Gewuyuan produced the first thermometer. This thermometer marked minus twenty-seven degrees to one hundred degrees above zero. Zero degrees were determined by the mixture of ice and water.
One hundred degrees is the temperature of boiling water.
This thermometer, which is as thick as a writing brush, advanced the Ming Dynasty's theory of geology a big step forward. Every time Xu Guangqi revised this chapter of "Temperature", he was excited about the development of Ming Dynasty's geology.
At the beginning of the ninth year of Wanli, the Gewu Institute had raised the upper limit of the thermometer's temperature measurement to 300 degrees. Later, they studied the relationship between air pressure and temperature, and invented the relative humidity meter based on the theory.
As the achievements of the Institute of Geosciences have shown a surge, hundreds of thousands of rewards have been distributed to researchers of the Institute of Science and Technology who have made contributions. The half box of silver cakes brought by Xu Sicheng is almost the entire liquidity of the Xu family - and Xu Guangqi had already
I just kept two big boxes.
What's even more satisfying than the silver reward is that more than 30% of the people in the Institute of Geosciences have left their names in history. Anyone who proposes a theory and has it verified will be named simply and crudely after the researcher. Of course, the theory will be named after the researcher.
, who don’t want to be so high-profile, the naming rights still belong to the founders themselves.
A modern person who travels back from the Internet era is the biggest problem, especially when he is an emperor. Zhu Yijun may not remember the details of these technologies and theories - but as an emperor, he has too many resources to hint,
Inducing others to test the theory and add details.
As an emperor, Zhu Yijun does not need the title of physicist, so he does not have any name in the theories that he hinted and induced. As of now, there are only two theorems in the name of Zhu Yijun:
The first one is called "Zhu Yijun's theorem of determining things", which is specifically stated as: "A proposition is determinative of things if and only if it is falsifiable."
The second theorem is "Zhu Yijun's Razor Principle", which is specifically stated as: "If a certain principle is falsifiable and sufficient to explain the nature of natural phenomena, then Physics should not accept more reasons than this - unless there is evidence to overturn this.
principle."
These two principles put forward by the emperor at the plenary meeting of the Imperial Academy of Wanli Seventh Year were like a sharp scalpel, making an irrefutable distinction between "Gewu" and "Non-Gewu".
Moreover, Zhu Yijun's theorem of geophysical studies gave the "reform" powerful and unquestionable legitimacy. The emperor proposed this theorem not only for the scholars of geophysical studies, but also to tell the whole world that there is no absolute truth. We only have
One principle can be followed - "The only thing that remains unchanged is reform."
As for whether a certain policy needs to be reformed and when should it be reformed? Please refer to the second theorem.
At the end of the seventh year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun wrote the first academic journal of the Ming Dynasty, "Gewuxue", which will have these two theorems printed on it forever.
By the summer of the eighth year of Wanli, the Gewu Institute had expanded to more than 1,400 people. According to the classification of different scientific research groups, magazines such as "Biology Monthly", "Physics Semimonthly", "Chemistry", "Agriculture and Gewu" etc.
, journals have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
This kind of journal has a high reading threshold, and it is very easy to form a new knowledge monopoly. After Zhu Yijun noticed this problem, he asked the Institute of Gewu to write and publish popular articles at the same time when compiling textbooks on nature and Gewu.
.
As a researcher with high moral literacy, Xu Guangqi stood out in this process and won the favor of Princess Leping.
