What exactly is water?

This problem, for later generations, basically everyone knows, water is composed of two hydrogen and one oxygen. Water fuels combustion because it is decomposed.

However, for people in this era, it is a bit dumbfounded: isn't water just water, what else can it be?

This question will once again lead the people of this era to understand the microcosm and the problems that are usually taken for granted!

Here, he only raised a question and did not analyze it in detail. After all, what was explained on this day was shocking enough for them to discuss for many days.

That's it, the unveiling ceremony of the Daming Jingshi School is over.

On this day, October 30 of the 16th year of Chongzhen, it was designated as the Science Memorial Day by later generations.

After the dispersal, whether it was the people of Beijing, or the dignitaries and nobles, or the ladies and daughters who hid in the boudoir, they all discussed the views and questions raised by the Xingguo Gong.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the improvement of economic conditions turned the social atmosphere into extravagance and erosion, and men loved women's clothing, etc., such a situation would occur, because the imperial court did not guide this atmosphere, so that energetic people were crooked with their nature.

Today, Zhang Mingwei has made a strong guide to the social atmosphere. Let those who have money and time have a direction to explore the unknown natural world!

It just so happened that at this time, Jingdezhen Glass Factory brought five more carefully built microscopes.

Today, under these conditions, the microscope could not be mass-produced, and it had to be carefully built by hand by skilled craftsmen in the glass factory, so after a few months, only five units were produced.

And after the arrival of the goods, Zhang Mingwei also has to be verified.

Subsequently, two microscopes, Zhang Mingwei stayed in Daming Jingshi Academy, and the other three microscopes were used for auction.

There have been microscope experiments in the palace before, and they have been circulated among the groups of dignitaries.

As mentioned earlier? Human curiosity about the unknown? That's what anyone has.

Especially after experiencing Zhang Mingwei's speech, rich people? For this microscope? Even if it's not for yourself, for your own children to be able to enter Daming Jingshi Academy? Worship under the gate of the Guogong, that is also to buy one? Used to open your eyes? Explore the unknown.

Naturally, Jingshi is also a gathering place for the wealthy. As a result of the auction, the three microscopes were all sold at a price of more than 10,000 taels of silver.

I don't know if I've been pointed out by some people? The ones who got the microscope? It is used to observe various things, and then the results of the observations are written into articles and sent to the headquarters of Ming Pao. As a result, the vast majority of these articles were published.

Xinlehou Liu Wenbing? Is it the noble who grabbed a microscope, he was originally martyred in Jingshi City? I even took a microscope to observe all kinds of things, and then I also voted for the head office of "Ming Pao".

As the editor-in-chief, when Chen Yuanyuan reviewed his article? He blushed suddenly, and commented angrily: "Dengzi! ”

Just about? Zhang Mingwei is here. Because it's about the content of the science and technology section? And if he's free? That's also something to be reviewed. As soon as I heard what Chen Yuanyuan said, I was a little curious, so I wanted to take a look, and I smiled.

This Liu Wenbing actually took the liquid of animals and people to look under the microscope, and then found that there were insects inside. So I wrote such an article and submitted it to Ming Pao.

In the original history, the first to observe these was in 1677, when Dutch Hook described insects, dogs, and human sperm. Nowadays, because this kind of precision microscope was first introduced in the Ming Dynasty, there are naturally bored people, oh no, people with the spirit of scientific exploration, such as this worry-free Xin Lehou went to see it first, and published relevant articles.

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei immediately gave Chen Yuanyuan a popular science: "What is there to be a disciple who is not a disciple, observing this, it is very meaningful, this is scientific research." This article is going to be published. Also, I write a review! ”

When Chen Yuanyuan heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and although his face was still blushing, he still asked curiously: "Master, what's the point of this?" ”

"Of course it makes sense! This involves the mystery of how we came to be! If you're interested, we can experiment with it later, and I'll teach you......"

In this way, this issue of "Ming Pao" caused another sensation in Beijing.

For a long time, no one knew how people came to be. Because of this, there are some legends that Liu Bang and his mother dreamed of a big white snake, and they had Liu Bang with a big belly. There are many similar legends.

But now, Xin Lehou saw the worm in the man's fluid, and Xingguo Gong said in the comment that this kind of worm is called sperm, and it should be combined with the eggs in the woman's body.

But Xin Lehou laughed when he saw it, and then he wanted to go and see what kind of eggs it was.

It's a bit polarizing to say this.

Those who are very dissatisfied with these are some stubborn and sour Confucianism, as well as Buddhism and Taoism.

For Sour Confucianism, talking about men and women so openly is immoral and damaging to face!

For those Buddhas, children are gifts from gods and Buddhas, how can little insects become?

Of course, even in later generations, sending a son Guanyin or something, it is still very popular, not to mention the ancient people.

Now Xingguo Gong actually told them that whether there are children or not depends on whether this kind of insect exists, whether it is active or not, whether it can be combined with women's things or something, this is simply a strange story!

However, based on the power of Xingguo Gong, and the person who published the article was not an ordinary person, but Xin Lehou, they did not dare to attack it in groups, so they could only slander it in private.

If this is a change for ordinary people, believe it or not, people come to the door every day to scold, or even go further.

It was in this context that Yan Shenggong's recital arrived at the General Administration.

Except for a few people, the concerts of the Ming Dynasty were sent to the General Administration Division, and then sent to the cabinet or the emperor by the General Administration Division.

So, the news spread from the General Administration Department, saying that Yan Shenggong accused Xingguo Gonggong of private use, and used his power as the commander of Jinyiwei to privately mobilize Jinyiwei to investigate Yan Shenggong and deal with Yan Shenggong.

This incident suddenly detonated those who were hidden in the shadows and were dissatisfied with Xinxue, including stubborn Confucianism, Buddhism, etc.

Of course, this also has something to do with Zhang Mingwei's style.

Although he was very powerful, he did not use his power to persecute his opponents like Wei Zhongxian. For most of the time after he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he had been leading troops to fight outside.

Of course, there are many people who have fallen because of him, but Zhang Mingwei can't be blamed.

The eunuch Wang Dehua, the former celebrant and the eunuch Wang Xinxin, who was the former imperial horse supervisor, were all nominally killed by Wang Chengen. In the name of corruption, it is real.

The original Jinyi Wei commanded Luo Yangxing, that was to send someone to assassinate Xingguo Gong, and was killed by Xingguo Gong's backhand, which is nothing to say.

Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, deserved it even more, he was arrested on the spot when he murdered the queen's father, and he also brought out the case of the Queen Mother Lotus, plotting against the prince, and it is reasonable to destroy the door.

Originally, the Jinyi Guard Yamen made people feel the change of style, but during the time when Xingguo Gong was the commander of Jinyi Guard, he had not arrested anyone at all, and some were in the army as supervisors, and he has been fighting with Xingguo Gong in the south and the north, and has made meritorious contributions on the battlefield.

Because of all this, these people who jumped out were not as afraid of Zhang Mingwei as they were afraid of Wei Zhongxian.

Of course, when Wei Zhongxian was in power, there were also people who opposed him.

So, with the help of the Yan Shenggong as an introduction, the voice of opposition to Xingguo Gong suddenly broke out.

It may be the reason for the accumulation for a long time, when it broke out, it was menacing, shouting that the Duke of Xingguo suppressed the Holy Father, if the scholar did not stand up, it would be to bully the teacher and destroy the ancestors, anyway, it was to use righteousness to suppress people.

However, they didn't have time to make a fuss. News came out from the Forbidden City that Jinyiwei did not go to investigate the Holy Duke of Yan, but Dongchang was ordered by the emperor to investigate the Confucian family's violations of law and discipline, which has nothing to do with the dispute of knowledge!

and also cited Kong Dazheng as an example, the cases were all tried by the Yamen of the Beizhili Prefect, and the facts are there.

The Kong family is all sages, and they have not violated the law and discipline?

Or is it that even if the Kong family violates the law and discipline, the court can't investigate it?

In the face of this kind of questioning, the menacing disturbance that has just come is a climax at the beginning, and then it immediately dies down.

No one dares to guarantee that the Kong family is a sage!

No one dares to say that even if the empty family violates the law and discipline, the court cannot investigate it!

However, although these people died down all of a sudden, in private, they were still connecting and comforting each other. He said that Yan Shenggong had written to the Great Confucian, and he would also hold a grand scholarly discussion, and invited Mr. Yu Shan, the leader of Shilin, to give a lecture and fight with this new scholar.

At that time, it will be the time for Confucianism and Xinxue to compete. At that time, they came again to show their solidarity.

I have to say that in the conflict between Xinxue and Confucianism, there are still minorities who choose to stand on both sides with a clear attitude.

Most people are watching from the sidelines. In other words, they are still hesitating, thinking that it is not good to betray Confucianism and Taoism, and that Xinxue also seems to be a very useful learning.

………………

On the Jingshi side, when the impact of Xinxue and the dispute between Xinxue and Confucianism were hot, Ma Xianglin, who was far away in Zhangjiakou, didn't care at all.

At this time, he wanted to fight very much and make military merits!

Although he is now in Shudi, there were many toasts in the past, but now only his Shizhu family is left, and the court has not moved him. But he understands that changing the land and returning to the river is the trend of the times, and it will happen sooner or later.

In this way, what he pursues is knighthood.

His mother Qin Liangyu was made a marquis by the imperial court, which made him very excited and grateful. And he himself doesn't have a knighthood yet!

Just as he was worried about this, his subordinates hurriedly came to report.
