Chapter 1906 Astronomical Bureau!

"By the way, Your Highness, I have perfected a method of predicting the weather by combining the seasonal calendars of past dynasties and the technique of observing the stars and wind," Yuan Zhiqiu said.

"How accurate is it?" Tianxin also attaches great importance to this aspect. The weather is unpredictable. Even to this day, farming in the Ming Dynasty is still inseparable from the season and climate.

If we can roughly predict the weather in the next few days, we can respond in advance and avoid more damage to farmers.

In fact, the imperial court already had a fairly complete mechanism for this matter. The decline of any unified dynasty in the past dynasties was all related to the climate.

Of course, except Daqian.

"This is the weather forecast data that Wei Chen has used in hundreds of villages and counties around the capital in the past few months. Please take a look at it." Yuan Zhiqiu took out a thick piece of data. Qin Tianjian mainly observed astronomical phenomena in the Ming Dynasty, and Now it has become a meteorological bureau, mainly observing the climate.

Tianxin took the data and read it carefully. It took ten minutes to finish reading it.

He couldn't help but admire: "I didn't expect that the accuracy rate was as high as 80%. It's really amazing!"

"His Royal Highness, you have overestimated your praise. Eighty percent is still too low. It would be better if it could be raised to ninety percent." Yuan Zhiqiu said: "The main reason is that it is troublesome to climb high, and our Ming Dynasty is still quite weak in this area. We want to improve the accuracy." , Wei Chen also has some ideas.”

"Say it!" Tianxin said very seriously. It is no exaggeration to say that the data in his hand is an immeasurable weapon.

Once the weather can be artificially predicted, the Ming Dynasty's agriculture will make great progress, which means that they can completely get rid of the confusion of previous dynasties.

The court can also control its subordinates more easily.

"To promote astronomical bureaus, every place should have a astronomical bureau, and then use telegrams to make summaries. In this way, the climate in the next few days can be more accurately calculated.

Then, the daily weather is published in newspapers in advance, or broadcast on time by radio stations, so that it can be accurately disseminated to the people, and people can respond according to the weather. "Yuan Zhiqiu said seriously: "This is a huge job, and it is not easy to do it well. Moreover, the data in Weichen's hand is only for Xijing and does not mean other places in the Ming Dynasty.

Because the climate is different in different places and the regions are different.

Earlier, when I traveled with my father in Qianzhou, I saw some very strange celestial phenomena. It would be very inaccurate to estimate those celestial phenomena without standing at the highest point.

But Chen believes that although the weather forecast is not perfect yet, we must be prepared now.

Predicting the weather is taking a path that others have not taken. Even if there are mistakes in the process, it is still a way to avoid disasters for future generations.

Over time, the astronomical bureau will inevitably improve. One day, we may be able to accurately predict the weather of the day, even to the minute and second.

I still remember that the Xijing Daily said that Ming Dynasty is currently developing a celestial satellite. The satellite will be launched into our universe by a rocket, and then the changes in the celestial phenomenon can be accurately seen. "

When he said this, Yuan Zhiqiu's eyes were full of expectation, which was a huge attraction for people like him.

If he could observe the weather through satellites, his physiognomy would also improve.

Tianxin thought for a while, "Give Gu a plan, and Gu will propose it at tomorrow's meeting. However, the process is not that fast. It will take seven days at the earliest. After seven days, Gu will give you a reply."

Daming has its own mechanism to ensure that issues are responded to quickly.

Three days for small things and seven days for big things.

After collective discussion with the Secretariat, Cabinet, and Six Ministries, Tianxin was given feedback.

In the end, Tianxin makes the final decision.

Just like the astronomical bureau wants to go down to the local area, then the financial budget will be made, and Tianxin can see the difficulty of this matter more intuitively.

"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince." Yuan Zhiqiu was secretly excited. He had been in Xijing for a long time and wanted to make great achievements. Now was an opportunity.

Seeing Yuan Zhiqiu's resignation, Tianxin said hurriedly: "Uncle, don't be anxious yet, I still have something to ask you!"

Yuan Zhiqiu stopped in a hurry and said, "Your Highness, please speak!" After asking Yuan Zhiqiu about health-preserving skills, Tianxin let him leave. Looking at the data on the table, Tianxin clicked his tongue, "Father once said that if people Being able to predict celestial phenomena is the most important talent in the country.

Uncle Master is amazing, the accuracy rate is as high as 80%. If this is promoted nationwide, there will definitely be a bumper harvest of food. "

The Ming Dynasty has had bumper harvests for fifteen consecutive years, and the national treasury is full of grain. All the old grain has been put into various industries.

The brewing industry in the Ming Dynasty was also very developed, and various grain wines sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

But even so, food is still the most important.

This is the guarantee of a country's stability.

The granary of the Ming Dynasty should ensure that when the Ming Dynasty encounters a large-scale natural disaster, the people of the country can eat and drink for three to five years.

Regardless of major natural disasters, we can definitely get through it in three to five years.

Tianxin put down what she was doing and immediately took a walk in the Imperial Garden. She asked someone to fetch a fishing rod and followed her father's example of fishing in Xuanwu Lake.

And on the other side, the Western Region.

Li Xian has secretly established contacts with many countries in the Western Region, and through the exchange of resources, he has obtained many urgently needed things.

With these things, the speed of forging weapons will also be greatly increased.

And Xingan is also following the path of the Ming Dynasty, buying young slaves from various countries to enrich the domestic population.

In addition to this position, Li Xian also contacted the remnants of the Northwest slaves.

The lost remnants of the Yuezhi, the people of the Ming Dynasty who were hated by all countries in the Western Regions.

This happy person secretly joined the new gang.

There were also some turmoils in various parts of the Western Region from time to time, in order to attract Ming's attention and gain more development time for Xingan.

Not only that, Li Xian also contacted many kings, hoping to form a secret alliance.

For every kingdom, Li Xian's conditions were very simple. Once Xingan was defeated, they would surrender with the people of the whole country.

Few kings can resist this temptation.

Li Xian actually didn't care whether these people would inform Ming Dynasty.

If they don't inform Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty won't deal with them?

Will not.

Li Xian just wanted to bring chaos to the entire Western Region in exchange for more time.

Li Ran left himself a way out, but Li Xian felt that Xingan had no way out.

Once Shingan is defeated, all of them will die.

They are just rebellious, and they are rebellious without value. They are destined to be nailed to the wall of shame.

King Qian has reassured them, and in the eyes of most Li people, they deserve to die!
