Chapter 55 Qian Liu's Iron Certificate
"How can we generate electricity by burning coal?" Everyone was still struggling with this question. It was really unbelievable. Many people decided to go home and try burning it. Since people in later generations can burn steam engines and electricity, then we can definitely do it too.

Zhu Biao plucked his beard, which had not grown much yet, and a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head. He said with bright eyes, "There is something missing!"

"What?" Everyone thought he had discovered something, so they asked anxiously without caring about hierarchy.

Zhu Yuanzhang also cast an inquiring look at him. Zhu Biao grinned and said excitedly, "That's the principle."

Concise but confident.

"Principle?" Zhu Yuanzhang also showed a suspicious expression.

"May I ask Your Highness, what does this mean?" Hu Weiyong was too lazy to think about it. Everyone looked at Zhu Biao with confusion in their eyes.

Zhu Biao organized his words and was very happy: "In the past, when Tianmu mentioned a certain technology, it would mention the principle. For example, hot air balloons can take off because the density of hot air is smaller than that of air, which allows hot air balloons to fly."

“Only by knowing the principle can we understand why burning coal can generate electricity, and under what circumstances can mercury turn into gold.”

“The principle is the most essential truth behind various phenomena. This is what we are pursuing.”

These words were spoken very quickly, but everyone could follow them. Zhu Biao wanted everyone to know that principles are what we should really pursue.

Otherwise, you will just know it as it is.

Zhu Biao wanted to explain more, but when he saw everyone's thoughtful expressions, he forced himself to swallow the words and waited for them to digest what he had said.

“The principle is the Tao!”

"That's true, but it's too general."

Everyone present is smart, and they will know it after a little thought. In the past, when Tianmu mentioned some magic (technology), he would always mention the principle. For example, what is carbon poisoning? It is the gas produced when charcoal and coal are not burned completely. It has a sentence written in nonsense, but no one can recite it.

This is a study that points directly to the origin of the Tao.

The eyes of Hu Weiyong, Song Lian and others were shining. These knowledge are truly priceless treasures.

With this knowledge, future generations will be confident about time travel.

These knowledge are like keys, keys to unlock countless treasures, but these treasures are things that we "ancients" do not care much about.

After figuring this out, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with anticipation: "What is the principle of coal combustion to generate electricity?"

Hu Weiyong, Song Lian, Liu Ji and others all looked at Zhu Biao.

All the civil and military officials in front of the Wuying Palace looked at Zhu Biao, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

The clerks in charge of recording had already spread out the papers and looked at Zhu Biao with confidence.

Zhu Biao smiled slightly, then spread his hands.
"May I ask, Your Highness, what does this mean?" Song Lian imitated Zhu Biao and spread his hands.

"It means I don't know." Zhu Biao glanced at his father, feeling a little embarrassed for having let everyone's expectations go to waste.

".!" Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead veins jumped a few times. He found that his eldest son seemed to have become more naughty. It was all because of Tianmu.
But if you think about it carefully, Biao'er is only fifteen years old, and in later generations he would be about the same height as a boy in junior high school.

Song Lian was also stunned for a moment. Finally, he shook his head helplessly. Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also new to this kind of knowledge.
Others didn't dare to accuse anyone.

As if he was embarrassed, Zhu Biao added: "Burning coal is thermal power generation, and hydropower stations are hydroelectric power generation. If they generate electricity based on the same principle, then they are..."

Zhu Biao got stuck here, because everything was his reasoning and imagination, and people could not imagine something they had not seen, just like now.

There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it or describe it. He could only gesture with his hands a few times, but it was fruitless. This feeling was like tickling, and he was the one being tickled.
Or in the words of later generations: the head is itchy, it needs to grow.
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, Song Lian, Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang and others probably understood what he wanted to say.

"If both of them generate electricity using the same principle, then they must be using that principle in both of them."

Uh. Hu Weiyong realized that he had said something nonsense and could only smile. He finally understood why the Crown Prince was stuck.
One is the tangible but intangible fire, the other is the endlessly flowing river.

No matter how hard Hu Weiyong tried, he always felt that there was a huge gap between the two.

Now it was his turn to feel itchy.

The sky screen switched again.

[What ruins young people in every age? ]

[Now: My children should have been 985211, but videos and games ruined them]

[Parents’ era: My children should have been college students, but TV and pop stars ruined them]

[Republic of China: My children should have had the advantage, but novels and mahjong ruined them]

[Qing Dynasty: My children should not have been afraid of the British, but they were ruined by watching operas and listening to music]

[Ming Dynasty: My children were supposed to conquer Liao in five years, but it was the Mahjong game that ruined them]

During the Hongwu period, Jinling City.

Zhu Yuanzhang was choked. Was Tianmu doing this intentionally or accidentally? Who was behind the five-year pacification of Liao?

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was not the only one who was choked. Some people looked in the mirror, while others checked themselves. In short, there is always one that suits you best.

It can be seen that many people in front of the hall have red faces, obviously angered by Tianmu's weird attitude.

[Yuan Dynasty: My children's territory was supposed to be from Ireland to Khitan, but horse racing and cockfighting destroyed them]

[Song Dynasty: My children were supposed to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but they were ruined by tea-fighting and cricket-fighting]

[Tang Dynasty: My children would never have gone to Xuanwu Gate, but polo and leaf play ruined them]

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City.

From Qingming to Yuan and Song, Li Shimin had always been worried. Although he didn't want to admit it, it would be best if that matter was not mentioned.

As a result, my uneasy heart slowly rose to my throat, then fell heavily, and finally died.

At this moment, his face turned red and white, and he was obviously very angry.

You can’t get over the hurdle of Xuanwu Gate, right?

All the ministers pretended not to hear the words and kept silent. As for the general, Li Jing was very glad that he was not alone with His Majesty. Otherwise, he would be worried about his relatives.
[Two Jin Dynasties: My children should not have experienced the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China. It was the hidden hook and the pitching pot that ruined them.]

[Three Kingdoms: My child was supposed to unify the Three Kingdoms, but he was ruined by shooting the tiger and attacking Hefei]

[Han Dynasty: My child should have been stronger than Cao Cao, but Tanqi and Cuju ruined him]

Moling in the late Han Dynasty.

Sun Quan didn't need to look at the comments to know that this was a tactic to tease him.

[Qin Chao: My children should not have died in the second generation, but the fight ruined them]

[Stone Age: My children should have been at the top of the food chain, but the Bronze Age destroyed them]

[Neanderthal: My children should have been very smart, but playing in the mud ruined them]

[Cretaceous: My children were supposed to be Tyrannosaurus Rex, but mammals ruined them]

"My child would never have gone to Xuanwu Gate" [Smile]

Guo Jia's Mother: My child could have participated in the Battle of Red Cliffs, but the Five-Stone Powder ruined him.

"The Single-Cell Era: It was that two-cell that ruined my child"

"Now: games, videos, mobile phones, mahjong, alcohol and tobacco, television, star-chasing, novels, and a major historical achievement [covering face]"

[Is there any successful case of saving life with the death-free gold medal? ]

[It really exists, and it has been preserved to this day]

[The death-free gold medal is not made of gold, but iron, and the words on it are filled with cinnabar or gold, so its official name is "red-lettered iron certificate" or "gold-lettered iron certificate"]

[Iron is a relatively hard mineral under natural conditions. Writing on it with cinnabar or gold symbolizes a firm and unwavering oath.]

[The red-lettered iron certificate in front of us was given by the penultimate emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Zhaozong, to the governor Qian Liu, so it is also called the Qian Liu Iron Certificate.]

[Qian Liu was given the iron certificate for suppressing Dong Chang's rebellion. There were 333 golden characters embedded on it, which read "You are pardoned nine times of death, and your descendants are exempted three times of death. If they commit ordinary crimes, the officials shall not impose additional punishment."]

During the Hongwu period, Jinling City.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the iron certificate on the skylight that was almost rusted away and could hardly recognize it.

Last year, I sent someone to retrieve it in order to make a golden medal of immunity from death. I didn't expect to see it again in future generations hundreds of years later. However, it is too rusty.

Strangely enough, in later life, this iron certificate is probably the only thing I have known and touched.

Zhu Biao was also amazed. The feeling of being able to meet each other after hundreds of years was really mysterious. One could only say that fate was truly magical.

Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang and others were all stunned. It was no secret that His Majesty had made a golden medal of immunity from death based on Qian Liu's iron certificate, but this thing was really difficult to deal with.

Although the civil and military officials did not say much on the surface, one could tell from the fiery looks in their eyes how much they desired the golden medal of immunity from death.

Especially the sky curtain, the four major cases of Hongwu involved a wide range of people. Now it is the third year of Hongwu, and Your Majesty was born in the thirty-first year of Hongwu.
No more talking. Hu Weiyong suppressed his thoughts and made up his mind to work on it.

[Qian Liu never used this red-lettered iron certificate, but it actually came in handy in the Ming Dynasty 500 years later]

[Qian Liu's descendant Qian Yongqin was found guilty of corruption and bribery when he was the prefect, and was sentenced to beheaded. You should know that Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials the most.]

[In order to save his father's life, Qian Yongqin's son Qian Xun went to Beijing to see the emperor with a red book and a certificate]

[When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the iron certificate again, he was silent for a long time. Finally, he recognized the golden certificate of immunity from death which had expired for 500 years and pardoned Qian Yongqin.]

[You know, Zhu didn't even recognize the death-free gold medal he himself issued, so why did he recognize this one?]

[Because it was issued by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, recognizing the legitimacy of the golden medal of immunity from death is also to show that he inherited the Tang and Song dynasties and the orthodox Chinese tradition.]

[But the story does not end here. After Zhu Yuanzhang pardoned Qian Yongqin, the gears of fate began to turn.]

During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City.

Li Shimin looked at the sky curtain and saw the second to last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he felt a little depressed.

But this happened hundreds of years ago, and it is beyond his control.

"This is quite bizarre." Fang Xuanling exclaimed, Tianmu's story did not end here.
During the Hongwu period, Jinling City.

Hu Weiyong was completely numb.
Your Majesty doesn't even recognize the golden medal of immunity from death that he himself issued? ? ?
Wang Guangyang and the others looked embarrassed for a moment, then naturally returned to their calm demeanor.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and did not comment. If you behave yourself, how could we treat you unfairly?

Zhu Biao felt helpless when he saw Tianmu constantly spreading rumors about his father. Maybe he should persuade his father to control his temper?
The group of people below exchanged glances with each other and saw the sadness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Good days are still to come.
Really
[More than 500 years later, the Qian family produced several great people, including Qian Xuesen, the father of Chinese missiles, Qian Sanqiang, the father of the atomic bomb, and Qian Zhongshu, a literary master]

[Qian Xuesen decided to leave the United States and return to China to serve his motherland after the founding of New China. Before leaving, he was arrested on trumped-up charges and was unreasonably detained for five years. Later, he was awarded the "Two Bombs and One Satellite Medal" for his outstanding contributions.]

[Qian Sanqiang, who discovered the tri-fission and quad-fission of heavy atomic nuclei in nuclear physics research and gave a scientific explanation for the tri-fission mechanism, made significant contributions to China's atomic energy science and is also a recipient of the "Two Bombs and One Satellite Medal"]

【So, the statement that "Zhu Yuanzhang made a huge contribution to the development of China's atomic bomb" does make sense.】

"The first shock: the iron certificate of immunity from death in the Tang Dynasty was still valid in the Ming Dynasty; the second shock: this family existed from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty until now; the third shock: Zhu Yuanzhang protected China's future in secret!"

"Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely admit it. How can this be considered as a pardon? This is righteousness and orthodoxy delivered to your doorstep! [Covering face]"

"I am a commoner from Huaiyou. What can the world do to me? Zhu Yuanzhang did not use these things to prove that he was orthodox. He relied on expelling the barbarians and restoring China."

"Who would complain that they lack legitimacy and righteousness? If Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty could surrender to Ming Dynasty, it would be no problem for Zhu Yuanzhang to build a temple to worship the emperor of Yuan Dynasty. He also spent a lot of money and manpower on the Northern Expedition."

On the History of the Development of the Atomic Bomb in China. Tang Dynasty

"I saw a video before. There are 109 academicians in the modern Qian family. They are really the cornerstone of the country."
