I am the king of the dead

The decline of the world and the collapse of ritual and music have nothing to do with the extravagance or barking of these carnivores. It is just that the people are miserable. How can they pursue virtue in the midst of hunger and cold?

Zhu Qiyu's education of the two children is not to let them be deceived by the shameless speeches of these writers, and to understand the essence of the world's operation. As for how much the two children can understand, it is not up to Zhu Qiyu to decide.

After Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen finished listening, they fell into a moment of silence. They were not stupid people. They could understand what His Majesty who led the rebirth of Daming Nirvana was talking about.

Zhu Qiyu took the two children to stay in Fuze Street all morning, and then returned to Nantang Bieyuan. In the evening, Zhu Qiyu had to accept the New Year's greetings from the courtiers, and he had to be busy until late at night.

When the sky filled with fireworks rose, Zhu Qiyu turned on the lime blowtorch on the table, and looked at the memorial in front of him. This memorial was written by a student named Wan Jieli, a student of Belin of the Ten Calendar Bureaus.

The memorials given to the emperor by others during the New Year are all congratulatory forms.

However, Wangeli's memorial was not like this. He came to ask for funds.

Wan Jieli was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, and he was the eldest son of the Wan family in Cixi. Wan Jieli's father was the commander of Ningbo Guanhaiwei, a hereditary fourth-rank military attache.

Wan Jieli has been a bit of a deviant since he was a child. He didn't like martial arts, and he didn't want to take the imperial examination. He was also the second child in his family. He didn't need to bear the mission of the family, so he was admitted to the top ten calendar bureaus and became an astronomy student.

And Wan Jieli's grandmother was the daughter of the Cai family in Xianyou, Fujian, named Cai Miaoqing, and Cai Miaoqing's younger sister, Cai Miaozhen, married Xu Youzhen, a scholar of the dynasty, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Xu Youzhen, the censor of the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, Wan Jieli wanted to call Xu Youzhen Uncle Zu.

Xu Youzhen is a minister capable of water control. Because of the battle of the capital and the opinions of the emperor and Yu Qian, he has been sending water control to the left for more than ten years. Xu Youzhen can’t help Wan Jieli in his official career, but Xu Youzhen gave Wan Jieli engineering and mathematics. on the help.

Wan Jieli's memorandum wanted to understand a problem, that is, why the water could not be pumped to more than three feet with Yuheng trucks and Hengsheng trucks.

Yuheng car, Hengsheng car and Longwei car are different. The principle of Longwei car is the principle of spiral movement, while Yuheng car and Hengsheng car are single-cylinder piston water presses.

The principle of the Yuheng car and the Hengsheng car is the same, that is, to use the balance to pull out the pillars so that they are as flat as the balance, one rises and the other falls, and the well water emerges like a tutu.It is mainly composed of tubes, columns, scales and frames.

In the mine pit of Shijingchang, neither the Yuheng car nor the Hengsheng car can pump out the water in the pit with a depth of more than three feet. The piston and cylinder wall are tighter, but still unable to lift water.

This made Wan Jieli wonder, why Sanzhang?

In order to clarify this issue, Wan Jieli needed a sum of money, about a hundred silver coins, which was originally approved by the Qin Tianjian, and the reason why it was reported to His Majesty was not because of the large sum.

It was the Ministry of Household Affairs, Hanlin Academy, Guozijian, Jixing, etc. of the Ming Dynasty who raised doubts after the audit of Qintianjian. The ten calendar bureaus spent tens of thousands of silver coins, but achieved little. There were many criticisms in the court, and so much money , can't even see a splash.

In the scientific research of the top ten historical bureaus, [-]% of the scientific research has no results, and failures abound.

This memorandum seems to be an application for funds, but in fact it is still a continuation of the dispute between Guozijian and Qintianjian. It is a matter of Zhu Qiyu erecting a statue of Mo Di in the top ten calendar bureaus. This is asking His Majesty to be the referee.

Qin Tianjian can't beat Guozijian.

Guozijian has a large number of people, and there are more than 500 natural talents or candidates; Qintianjian only has ten calendar bureaus, and about [-] astronomy students each year.

On the top of the Imperial Academy, there are Jinshi, Shujishi, and Wen Linlang from the Imperial Academy to cheer for them, and above the court, there are too many Minggongs from the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy.

The Qin Tianjian has nothing, and the Qin Tianjian only has His Majesty the Emperor.

Did Qin Tianjian really have no results at all?

During these ten years, Qin Tian supervised the revision of the "Jingtai Almanac", corrected the mistakes and omissions of the Ming Dynasty's seasons, and provided great help to the local officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty to Antu herdsmen. It is a big deal for farmers to collect grain and make a mistake in the farming time. Well, the increase in grain production in the Ming Dynasty is not just about farm methods.

Qin Tianjian imitated Longwei, Yuheng, and Hengsheng water carts. The value of Longwei carts alone is more than tens of thousands of silver coins. There are dozens of Longtail carts in Qingjiangpu, Suzhou, and each cart can irrigate three acres of land per day. Ten acres, pawns, peddlers, literati and inkmen all say it is good.

It is one-sided to say that the Qin Tianjian has no results.

As for why it is three feet, Zhu Qiyu knows very well that it is actually the atmospheric pressure that is causing the trouble.

There is a kind of sacrificial vessel in the Ming Dynasty, named: a copper wine-draining vessel with a bamboo handle, a long tubular handle, and a flat-bottomed, hollow spherical vessel shaped like a lotus bud.

The handle is in the shape of four bamboo joints, with hoop-shaped patterns on the top and bottom, and the end of the handle is closed and decorated with dragon head rings.

The surface of the spherical vessel is decorated with budding lotus pattern, the lotus petals are protruding, there is a rectangular hole at the second bamboo joint under the dragon head, and there is a round hole in the center of the bottom of the spherical vessel, and the two holes communicate with each other.

Insert the wine dipper into the wine, just press with your thumb, release the air hole, and you can easily drink the wine.

Wan Jieli wondered why it was three feet?

Because the atmospheric pressure can only press the water to three feet.

Zhu Qiyu Zhu approved this memorandum, and asked Wan Jieli to start researching why it was three feet a year later.

He wrote in the memorial: [Yuheng and Hengsheng drew water for three feet, oil is lighter than water, and it is higher than three feet; mercury is heavier than water, and it is lower than three feet, so it should be. 】

As for the extravagant expenses of the Qin Tianjian and the Ten Calendar Bureaus, Zhu Qiyu did not give specific instructions. He just released an attitude. He continued to support the research of the Qin Tianjian and the Ten Calendar Bureaus, and he also did not stop the plan. The provincial audit of Qin Tianjian and the top ten calendar bureaus.

There are a lot of domestic and national funds in Ming Dynasty, but none of them is superfluous. Zhu Qiyu treats corruption equally.

In the Roman anthology translated by Nicolaus, there is a famous saying by Aristotle, which is called nature abhors a vacuum.

The meaning of this sentence is: nature will not allow a vacuum to exist, once a vacuum occurs, it will be filled with water, so the water will be pumped up.

Wherever a vacuum occurs, water follows.

But obviously, with the development of the times, the depth of Yuheng and Hengsheng's water collection has increased, and Aristotle's explanation can no longer be explained.

Zhu Qiyu provided Wan Jieli with an idea. As for where he can go, it depends on his own luck.

Zhu Qiyu sorted out his work plan a little bit. In the next days in Nanya, Zhu Qiyu will miniaturize and standardize a room-sized double-action steam engine.

Too bulky is not conducive to transportation, the more complex the structure, the more likely it will be damaged, the high maintenance cost will increase the cost, and the inability to standardize parts is not conducive to production. Such products are not conducive to promotion and are doomed to fail.

Whether it was the original water conservancy screw embossing machine or the [-]-spindle spinning wheel, courtiers liked to use models to explain the principles, which meant that they could really be implemented.

Miniaturization and standardization are the way to go for the steam engine. The day when the steam engine can enter the hand-made cabinet of the Ming emperor is the day when the steam engine can be used on a large scale.

This is the logic of Yu Qian's constant simplification of complex issues. Translating and translating, it is four words: from the great to the simple.

The Spring Festival is a custom in the Confucian cultural circle, and Annan also celebrates the Spring Festival, but this year's Spring Festival in Shenglong City is more solemn than the previous festivals.

Shenglong City has long been dilapidated, but there are still more than 20 people gathered, and with the occupation of Shenglong City by the Ming army, this capital is restoring its former vitality.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, in Shenglong City, the alleys were empty, and all the people gathered in front of the Jiangwu Hall.

Today is the day to behead Annan King Li Yimin.

In the huge square in front of the lecture hall, there were crowds of people, everyone quietly waiting for the arrival of [-]:[-] noon, waiting for the moment of the death of the tormentor.

It was unexpected for the people of Annan that the Ming army wanted to behead Li Yimin in Shenglong City. When the yellow list was posted for the people to watch the ceremony, the people of Annan waited quietly before they gathered in the Jiangwu Hall.

In the Hall of Speaking Martial Arts, Chen Mao, Duke of Jun, Yuqian, Marquis of Wen'an, Zhang Mao, Duke of England, Zhu Yi, Duke of Cheng, Xu Chengzong, Duke of Wei, Jiang Wan, Marquis of Dingxi, Shi Biao, Uncle Dingyuan, Chen Ruyan, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, etc. Many people gathered in the hall, and the hall was extremely quiet.

Xu Chengzong doesn't know how to fight, he came here with His Majesty's decree to behead Li Yimin, this time in County Annan, Xu Chengzong didn't make much effort, he just made military achievements and took a Qili card to prove that he also participated in County Annan, he There is nothing to seek, just to prove that he supports and supports His Majesty's resolution.

Chen Mao could fully understand His Majesty's plan to behead Li Yimin in front of the Lecture Hall in Shenglong City.

Because Song Zhang, Fujian's chief envoy, was beheaded in full view of the public, the rebel army in Fujian, who was stubbornly resisting, immediately dispersed, running and surrendering, and the southeast was settled.

Killing Li Yimin in Shenglong City will play a decisive role in the long-term stability of Jiaozhi.

Yu Qian can also understand, because His Majesty carried King Jili into the Taimiao under the eyes of everyone, and stabbed him to death in the Taimiao himself, without fake hands, let alone using swords, axes or shadows. Such unsolved historical cases as the Nanya Imperial Palace fire.

It is His Majesty's journey to be open and aboveboard, just and honest, as always, always the same.

"Yu Shaobao, do you think that kid Li Sicheng will come?" Chen Mao spoke first, breaking the silence.

The reason why it was set on the New Year's Eve was to let the fourth son Li Sicheng come to the Jiangwu Hall in Shenglong City to be imprisoned. Li Sicheng's condition was that the tormentor Li Yimin died, and the Qinghua army could surrender.

In the agreed agreement, Li Sicheng is still the king of Annan, and Li Sicheng's imprisonment is justified.

But the alliance agreement that has not been implemented is like a butt wipe, worthless. Whether Li Sicheng will surrender and naturalize is still unknown.

This involves Daming's next strategic deployment.

If Li Sicheng said one thing and did another thing, Daming County Annan would have to rely on twists and turns, but it was just twists and turns.

Daming is powerful, far from being able to defeat Li Sicheng.

However, the people of Annan can no longer bear the disaster of war and military affairs. If Li Sicheng refuses to come, it will still be the people of Annan who will bear the price.

Yu Qian thought for a moment and said: "If he is willing to come, he will never be able to return to cross-toe in his life. If he does, there will be chaos. If he refuses to come, it is just recklessness, so don't worry about it."

"If he is willing to come, he can still go to Tianjin Wei to be an overseas king who doesn't care about things. If he refuses to come, he can only be a grassroots bandit."

Chen Mao agreed with Qian's statement. He said helplessly: "He can't decide whether he will come or not. If Li Sicheng doesn't arrive at [-]:[-] noon, then we can only put down the rebellion."

Soldiers are expensive, Chen Mao, Yu Qian and other generals, from the perspective of the country's system and military administration, still hope to complete the battle of Annan in the counties and counties within three months, so as to prevent the Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi guards from becoming too big to lose and support the bandits. army head.

Transform external conflicts into internal conflicts to solve, and completely eat the Annan [-]th House.

Seeing that the sun was getting higher and higher, Yu Qian and the others looked more and more serious. Just when Xu Chengzong felt that the atmosphere was a bit dignified, a commander ran into the hall.

"Report! 3000 soldiers from the Qinghua Army arrived at Shenglong Pass! Li Sicheng, Ding Lie and others brought [-] relatives to the Jiangwu Hall, which is [-] miles away from the Jiangwu Hall, and it will take half an hour." The commander shouted loudly shouted.

Chen Mao patted his seat and stood up, saying loudly, "How courageous!"

Yu Qian also breathed a sigh of relief. If Daming's quick victory really turned into a public security war, the people of Cochin will bear the price, and Daming will also pay an extremely expensive price.

This is not what Yu Qian wants to see.

The fourth brother, Li Sicheng, didn't know how to convince his subordinates, and he didn't know how many games he had gone through, but when he came, he came, and when the next letter of alliance landed, it came to the stage of implementation.

"Report! Li Sicheng has passed the Sanqing Pass, and it will take a quarter of an hour to get to the fifteen miles of the Jiangwu Hall!"

"Report! Li Sicheng has arrived at the Hall of Martial Arts and asked to see the angel."

Chen Mao nodded and said, "Please."

"Annanrui Wang Li Sicheng visited the angel, and bowed to the ruler of the world and the emperor of Ming Dynasty. Long live, long live, long live." Li Sicheng walked into the hall, knelt down respectfully facing north, and performed a big salute of three prostrations and five prostrations.

Yu Qian looked at Li Sicheng. When we met in Nanya Mansion last year, Li Sicheng was still a little rich, but now he is skinny and tired.

Li Yimin is indeed a tormentor, but he is the king of Annan, fighting a rebellious vassal, still brought great pressure to Li Sicheng, the manpower and material resources that Li Sicheng can use are definitely not comparable to Li Yimin.

Li Yongchang, the eunuch of the supervising army, shouted loudly: "Licheng, King Annanrui is dead, and it's already [-]:[-] noon. Please move the generals outside the palace for punishment."

"Taichang Temple music class, play music!"

The short and intense sound of drums and the long and far-reaching sound of horns sounded slowly, and many generals commanded by the former army of the Ming Army came out together and arrived at the execution ground outside the Hall of Martial Arts.

The banners fluttered in the wind, and there was a big guillotine on the execution ground.
