Han Dao world

Chapter 1102
In fact, it is not uncommon for the rising sun and the setting sun to become flat. Many people feel this way, but few people really compare it with a standard circle, or even measure how flat it is.

If he hadn't been stimulated by Yang Xiu's article, Zhou Qun might never have done such a thing in his life.

He will feel stupid.

But now, he realized that he might not be suitable for studying this subject.

He didn't even study the sunrise and sunset that were shining brightly in front of his eyes, let alone the much more complicated astrology.

Before Zhou Qun regained his composure, the second wave of blows followed.

Yang Xiu published the second article on the Di Bao.

This article covers a lot of subjects, but it is not as in-depth as the first article. It only mentioned a conjecture without specific experiments, so it did not cause much controversy.

But for Zhou Qun, this article had a greater impact.

Yang Xiu said in the article that the stars seen in the telescope are somewhat different from those seen with the naked eye. Some stars look flat, and these stars are all fixed on the ecliptic without exception.

Therefore, he guessed that these stars were not a single star, but a galaxy composed of countless stars, but they were so far apart that they looked like a single star.

Zhou Qun couldn't help being shocked by Yang Xiu's bold conjecture. What made him even more depressed was that he didn't know what the telescope Yang Xiu was talking about, and he could see whether the stars were round or flat?

Qin Mi didn't know either. After asking the people in the post house, she found out that this was a novelty that appeared recently.It belongs to the same category as the microscope, but it has different uses, one for microscopic and the other for telescopic.

It is said that the origin of these two things was initiated by the emperor, and now many people in Nanyang are playing.There are workshops in Nanyang that make these, and you can buy them easily.However, it is rare to be able to watch the stars, and it is not available to ordinary people.

Yang Xiu is not an ordinary person, it is entirely possible that he has a good telescope.

Zhou Qun spent a lot of money to buy a telescope.

As the people in the post house said, seeing things is blurry and can be used as a toy, and stargazing is not realistic.

Even so, Zhou Qun realized that a new era was coming.Just as printing has made books cheaper and the cost of education much lower, so the field of view of telescopes will be greatly different if the production skills of telescopes are improved.

The whole of astrology may be turned upside down.

Zhou Qun was very anxious, and as soon as he arrived in Nanyang, he went to visit Yang Xiu.

But he was in vain, and Yang Xiu returned to Hanyang.

Zhou Qun immediately wanted to go to Hanyang, but was stopped by Qin Mi.Qin Mi said, what you want is a telescope, not Yang Xiu.Since both the telescope and the microscope are initiated by the Son of Heaven, staying in Nanyang is your best choice.

The biggest use of telescopes is not stargazing, but military reconnaissance.

Therefore, the best telescope can only be in the hands of the Son of Heaven.If it doesn't work, the telescope in Yang Xiu's hand is a gift from the emperor.

Zhou Qun thought it was reasonable, so he stayed in Wancheng with peace of mind, waiting for the emperor to meet him.

-

Knowing Liu Zhang's arrival, Liu Xie asked Situ Mansion to send someone to receive him.

As far as official position is concerned, Liu Zhang is the Yizhou pastor who has just left office, so he should go to Situ Mansion to report on his duties first.

Yang Biao handed over this task to Zhang Song.

Yizhou people also estimated this possibility, Zhang Song's elder brother Zhang Su was among the entourage.

As soon as the two brothers met, they felt the meaning of the four words that the present is not what it used to be.

Zhang Su is tall and handsome, and he became an official early on. He is the hope of the family.Zhang Songwu is short in stature and ugly in appearance, so he has not been favored all the time.Now it's the other way around, Zhang Song is valued by the emperor and is arranged to practice in Situ's mansion, but Zhang Su is a prisoner and comes to see the emperor with Liu Zhang.

It was the kindness of the court that they were not loaded in the car.It is impossible to get promoted without being affected.

At this moment, Qin Mi is probably the only one who dares to think so.He is a meritorious minister, and for his efforts in persuading Liu Zhang to surrender, he will definitely be rewarded by the emperor.

"Relax." Zhang Song comforted his elder brother, "The Son of Heaven is magnanimous, and he will not be as knowledgeable as Liu Zhang. As for Liu Yan, he is already dead, and the Son of Heaven is unlikely to pursue it. Of course, don't think about the name behind him."

Zhang Su breathed a sigh of relief.

With Zhang Song's words at the bottom, the situation is not that bad.

Zhang Song then conveyed the general arrangement of the court to Zhang Su.

Although Liu Zhang surrendered, the counties in the south of Yizhou have not yet surrendered.Shi Sun Rui was temporarily in charge of Yizhou Governor, and the Northern Army also stayed in Chengdu. Afterwards, they should march into the southern counties, force them to surrender by force, and attack Jiaozhou with Zhang Ji.

For Yizhou, the biggest opportunity comes from education.

The southern part of Yizhou is mountainous and economically backward, but the emperor was not afraid of difficulties and firmly promoted enlightenment.For this reason, Yizhou scholars will have more opportunities.As long as they are not afraid of hardship and are willing to go deep into the remote mountains and remote areas to educate the people, they will definitely be rewarded by the court in three to five years.

It is obvious to all that the emperor attaches great importance to this aspect. The queen's two elder brothers are doing such things, and Fu Ya even stayed in Liangzhou to intermarry with local women from aristocratic families.

In addition to scribes, warriors have more opportunities.

Yizhou is not the Central Plains, and there are many Qiang and Di people around it. Even the children of aristocratic families are mostly familiar with martial arts, and there are quite a few people who are both civil and military.Zhang Song suggested that they send the children of the clan to the lecture hall, firstly to show their loyalty to the imperial court, secondly to learn the art of war, and in the future to go on expeditions with the emperor and make contributions.

After hearing this, Zhang Su immediately asked, "Is the news about the Son of Heaven's expedition true?"

Zhang Song nodded. "The emperor's ambition is in the world, and he will not live in the Central Plains for a long time. When Jiaozhou is pacified and the states and counties are surrendered, he will set off."

"Is this...too urgent?" Zhang Su was a little worried. "Qin Shihuang conquered South Vietnam, and Emperor Xiaowu expelled the Xiongnu. They are all lessons learned from the past."

"That was all three hundred years ago." Zhang Song said with a smile, "If it wasn't for being encumbered by the Confucian sect, the tyrants cared about their own interests and refused to save the land, my big Han cavalry would have made a show of power in the Western Regions. Today's trip Tian Zhice also encourages practical learning and educates the world. With ten years to make up for a hundred years of work, thirty years later, he will surely succeed. At that time, the world will truly be peaceful."

Zhang Su looked at Zhang Song in surprise, and wanted to reach out and touch Zhang Song's head to see if he had a fever.

He seems to have forgotten that the Zhang family in Chengdu can be considered as powerful.

Zhang Song was too lazy to talk to him. "Tell my words to the township party members, let them take the initiative, and don't miss the opportunity. As for Liu Zhang, that's the way it is anyway, just accept your fate."

After Zhang Song finished speaking, he turned to leave.Zhang Su grabbed him overnight.

"There's something I need to make up my mind."

"what's up?"

"Didn't Liu Hao marry Wu Yi's younger sister? With her current appearance, she originally wanted to reconcile, but she was afraid of the court's suspicion, so she never dared to make a decision. Can you ask the emperor to see how to deal with it. "

Zhang Song's mouth twitched. "Brother Wu Yi is here too?"

"Of course it is."

"If the relationship between husband and wife is still good, there is no need to divorce. The emperor doesn't care about these things. As for the Wu Yi brothers, let them find a way to ask Mrs. Tang for a favor, and it should be over. If you are young and strong, if you are willing to join the army Conquest, the emperor will not refuse."

Zhang Su felt relieved.
