Section 35 The Direction of the Struggle
"I did as my brother ordered, spread people everywhere, and now don't say it's Beijing City, even the entire Beizhili knows that you scolded Zhu Xi." In an independent courtyard in a suburban workshop, Liu Satywolf took a glass of wine and then picked up a chicken leg and chewed it: "I don't understand, the big guys are pretending to be confused, why do you have to be this bird?" ”
Jiang Tian gnawed on the neck of the chicken and rolled his eyelids and glanced at him: "Pretending to be confused is because there is a benefit, and I don't want this benefit, so I can only tell the truth." ”
Song Yi looked at a roast chicken in front of him and turned into wreckage in a blink of an eye, and said in his heart that the two of you really smell the same, what is the difference between the style of tearing up the chicken and the barbarians in the countryside? Not to mention that one of the two of them is Sven sweeping the floor, and the other simply doesn't know what Sven is: "Brother Muhua's move to advance and retreat is really painful, and now if anyone above the court dares to say that he will recruit you as an official, it is simply working against the entire civil official group, and even my ancestor has a bitter face and asks me not to go back to the city, I can only come here to meet you." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, anyway, I don't have anything else to do, Zhi'er is learning to tell at home with Mr. Liu, and at the same time helping Boss Zhao do some physical work, there is no need for help there, and being idle is idle, it's better to come to you to see what you can do, so that you can get the rest of the silver as soon as possible."
The pervert threw the leftover bones: "Speaking of your telescope, my father was full of praise after using it, and I also took it and tried it on the moon at night, not to mention that it seems to really see the mountains." ”
"What's that?" Jiang Tian wiped the oil on his mouth: "If this furnace glass can succeed today, I will make you a telescope for looking at the stars." ”
The pervert also wiped his mouth cleanly: "Speaking of Zhao Zhi's kid, his family was caught by me, this kid denied it at first, but a set of punishments was considered to tell the truth, it turned out that this kid saw that their orphans and widows were bullied, so he privately swallowed the relief food given by the court, I asked him to spit out everything he could vomit, and then he threw it to the Wucheng Terracotta Division, it is estimated that this kid has been doing hard labor in which wilderness." In the future, Zhao Zhi can be regarded as having imperial food to eat. ”
This is a good thing after all, Jiang Tian was a little relieved when he heard this, even if he lived in seclusion in the future, Zhao Zhi and his mother would not starve to death, but it was a pity that he didn't have much time to guide this promising kid. But how long has it been since the founding of the country? It is said that the new dynasty weather, it seems that the one who sat on the dragon chair has not cleaned up the entire grassroots level.
"It's better to let the virtuous brother bother more, although I can't help the miserable people in the whole city, but who let me meet this kid. Just like Dexin won't let go when she catches me, today is just a furnace of glass, and she has to find me. ”
Jiang Tian said that the glass is the sample used for the test in the past few days, since the last time he broke the problem of internal stress, Song Yi after repeated practical and thinking finally found a way to make the glass strong, in fact, it is very simple to say, the hot glass liquid is poured into the mold, and the uneven cooling process produces internal stress, so if the cooling slows down, so that the liquid gradually tends to stabilize and then solidify, can it be easily solved? So his practice revolved around the idea, and after several failures, the current furnace was the one that had been smoldering in an annealing kiln for ten days, and if successful, it would have been possible to manufacture telescopes and other glass products on a large scale.
"By the way, what kind of clarifying agents did you try last time?"
Song Yi hurriedly replied: "According to you, we tried a lot of recipes, and finally found that saltpeter and arsenic were added to it for the best effect. ”
Liu Baokai listened to it and wondered for a long time: "The cleaner the liquid glass, the better, how can it be more smooth and translucent when mixed with those things?" ”
Jiang Tian smiled slightly: "This is the role of the clarifier, what do you use to clarify the white sugar you eat every day, so that you can have that white as snow?" ”
"With what?"
"Yellow muddy water!"
The glass of this furnace is really as expected, not only the transparency has been greatly improved, but also the solidity has also reached the expected standard, those old workers who have been burning the kiln for many years looked at Jiang Tian with respectful eyes, don't look at Song Yi who has been doing repeated experiments, but everyone knows that without Jiang Tian's guidance, they will not be able to burn such beautiful glass in their lives, no wonder people can make a lot of money.
"It's done!" Jiang Tian put down the sample he had just ground out in his hand: "Now that the problem of large-scale preparation of glass has been solved, you can produce military telescopes in batches, and even make some monkey versions with reduced performance and sell them to surrounding countries. ”
Song Yi smiled bitterly: "What about you and my silver treasury?" Those two telescopes have not yet been made, how can they pay a thousand taels of silver immediately? Besides, isn't it too dazzling to give you all this money, and even if you give it, you can't make such a big show, right? ”
Jiang Tian thought about it and felt that what the other party said made sense, he took seven hundred taels from Old Man Song before and after, although this speed of making money is not worth mentioning compared with the unspoken rules of some yamen, but it is an extraordinary period now, and it is indeed a bit dazzling to let the pervert go to the teahouse with a thousand taels of silver.
"That's it, I don't have anything to do anyway, so I'll help you make mirrors slowly, and then the money will be brought back in batches in my carriage."
Song Yi thought that there was only that, so he nodded and agreed: "But the little brother still has to ask, since you have resorted to such a desperate plan in order to resign, aren't you afraid that everyone in the world will regard you as an enemy?" ”
Before Jiang Tian could speak, Liu Baokai was on the side: "What are you afraid of, those nerds are first-class in scolding, since they are not officials, even if they scold a thousand times a day, what's the use, and besides, the imperial court has not set a charter for scientific research so far, maybe these people will end up in a bamboo basket for nothing!" ”
The real situation is similar to what the pervert said, the emperor who crossed over has long known that there is such a suspected traverser in the people, but he is busy with official business and can't be sure, so he didn't startle the snake, but after reading Song Yingxing's scientific research report and letting the fake prince deliberately approach, he is very sure that the other party is a traverser, and the time and space he came to should be very close to himself, after all, those insulting words about Confucianism can only come from a place within a period of time, and the overseas Chinese circle has no experience of criticizing Kong, There are not so many novel references to stink Zhu Xi. In principle, as a senior, it should be nice to be able to see people who are close to their identity, after all, this is also a foreign country. But as the emperor, the countryman's cunz is very subtle, his own shocking exploits in the eyes of others can only be regarded as cheating in the eyes of the same kind, and this person is obviously well-educated, it doesn't seem so easy to be accused, and he must have discovered that he is also a traverser. So the choice before the emperor was that there were two left: kill or forbidden.
However, since he heard about Jiang Tian's words and deeds, His Majesty the Emperor suppressed the impulse to do it immediately, and also specially approved him to be an official, just to see what kind of reaction he had before making a decision. If he refuses politely, it means that this person has become vigilant and wants to deliberately keep a low profile, maybe he has other ambitions. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tian did not act in accordance with the normal code of conduct, although he refused to be an official, the method he could use was quite high-profile, not only provoked a large number of literati, but also effectively turned away these extraordinary mouth cannon parties, especially at the end of the door hung out "Those who are not complete in the six arts will not be accepted", which made the emperor laugh all day. He is now more and more interested in this person, and besides, this person is still in charge of developing the telescope, no matter what, he can't do it now, and see what tricks he can toss.
Jiang Tian was not idle, he knew that he must have attracted the attention of his predecessors, but he was just gambling, betting that the emperor would not arrest him immediately, not only because he Jiang Tian was refreshing technology, but also because he was doing this to guess that this senior was likely to abolish the imperial examination, at least to carry out large-scale reform of the existing scientific examination, so that his high-profile vanguard could not be imprisoned or evaporated from the world, which would give the people of the world an illusion that the imperial court would still return to the old road of Bagu. Then before the dust settles, the emperor has to endure even if he wants to shoot himself to death and never suffer in the future. Then the time gained is the key to your own layout. This is also the reason why he urged Old Man Song to cash in the silver. As for how to run, it's very simple, don't look at him sitting in a rented carriage every day, but as soon as he gets out of the city, he bribes the coachman with silver taels and asks him to teach him how to drive, even if he doesn't have the long-term accumulated experience of others, at least now he can catch up with the car. So every time he went out of the city, he gave the coachman a little money to wait for him near the city gate, and when he was in this spare time, he drove the ant to move and bury the heavy silver in the suburbs for later use. No one knows about his preparations, but as soon as he appears in the teahouse, he will inevitably become the center of attention, and recently even his cross talk has begun to develop towards satirical Confucian tendencies, such as this recent paragraph......
"I said your head weighs eight and a half pounds! Do you believe it or not? Jiang Tian stood and put on an arrogant face, and the audience who didn't expect the plot to develop like this suddenly burst into laughter.
In this cross talk, the burden was originally shaking in this place, but in the foreshadowing of the plot, the shopkeeper who raised the bar once asked Sage Kong speechless: "Since you yourself said that your parents must have a way to travel in the near future, then how do you travel around the world and live without a fixed place?" ”
Before this, no one dared to directly question the theory of the sage, even the sub-sage, if you feel that there is a problem, you can only secretly think about it and dare not speak out, just like Wang Yangming Gezhu, just be in a daze with the bamboo, don't discuss it with other readers, let alone preach it loudly, but Jiang Tian has recently intensified his attack on the saint's famous religion, and what's worse is that this kid is still taking the line of grassroots wavering, and the form of cross talk, which is popular at the bottom of society, is spread among ordinary people. In fact, when Confucius traveled around the world, his parents had already died, so there are huge loopholes in this traditional cross talk, although Jiang Tian is a traverser, but the memory of this life is very clear about Confucius's resume, so when the show is finished, everyone laughs almost the same, Jiang Tian sat behind the desk and put on a serious face.
He arched his hand to the audience: "Everyone! Jokes are jokes, don't take it seriously, someone asked me what kind of book I said, in fact, it's not a story, but a cross talk, this cross talk is the appearance of appearance, the sound of voice, it's just to make you laugh, but you should still be respectful to Confucius. ”
Everyone knows he's been pouring holes lately, why did he suddenly start talking about being respectful again? The audience listening to the fun at the bottom couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, and even Boss Zhao, who never interfered with the performance, was a little surprised, so he continued: "Confucius's surname is Kong, Mingqiu, and the word Zhongni, born in the late Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu State, his learning was influenced by Zhou Gong and Guanzi, and worshiped Lao Tzu as a teacher, and finally learned to found Confucianism, which shows that Confucianism is the best of all families, how can it be arrogant, and it is impossible to dismiss other learning as trivial tricks and tricks......"
First of all, I briefly introduced Confucius, so as not to make many white people unclear about the life of Confucius: "Say that he is a sage, it is because he respects teachers and values teaching, widely disseminates knowledge, and says that he is not worthy of his name because this person can't see through the hot and cold world, thinking that as long as everyone in the world is committed to sages, the country and the people can be educated in all directions, in fact, everyone knows that those Taoist gentlemen who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality in the previous dynasty, they shave their hair on the back feet when they enter the door with their front feet, which of these people is not reading the book of sages?" There is a difference between what he did and what he said, otherwise how could this great river and mountain be ravaged by the Tartars...... But is this Confucius' fault? Wrong! There are natural disasters and man-made disasters in the fall of the Ming Dynasty, but man-made disasters are even worse. If all the faults are blamed on the ancients 2,000 years ago, the shame of those who said this can be seen. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, all dynasties except for Meng Yuan are all exclusive to Confucianism, but this is also just a superficial talk, in fact, any dynasty is a combination of Confucianism and law, and the two complement each other, so why is the demise of each dynasty not as good as the Ming Dynasty? Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, after all, which last days are like this, but the Gonggong and the Yin students, fighting for power, saliva flies, but they completely ignore the people who are waiting to be fed, the foreign invaders slaughter the people, and the lives of Kyushu are ruined, but they waste time on some "famous religions" and "righteousness", and almost harm us to the country and extinction! Dare to ask Master Confucius how he taught them self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world? ”
Jiang Tian uncharacteristically changed from talking about cross talk to speeches, most of these people who have experienced the war have relatives, as Jiang Tian said, even if Confucianism is wrong, it will not poison the people, what is wrong is those who pretend to be gentlemen under the banner of famous religion and compete for fame and fortune, this can be regarded as a directional problem, with the sign he hung in front of the door, the direction of the struggle can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye suddenly changed from Confucianism to criticism of Confucianism, and the dispute over the survival and abolition of Confucianism was led to another direction.
