Yang Cong was "scared and tossed" for a while, but Yan Song was so happy, he sent people to sneak into Yuyuantan and stared at Yang Cong all the time, so he knew exactly what Yang Cong had done.

This guy is so sick that he has built such a strange school.

Yan Song felt that Yang Cong was either frustrated by officialdom and his brain was a little abnormal, or he was pretending to be crazy and stupid to paralyze him.

However, he believes in the former more, because if Yang Cong pretends to be crazy and stupid, there is no need to build so much construction, just pretend to be whatever you want, Yang Cong is obviously not pretending to be so large.

No matter what Yan Song thinks, Yang Cong is quite concerned about the establishment of the School of Physics, thousands of people have built it at once, and within three months, the School of Physics has begun to take shape, and at this time, it seems that it is time to list the enrollment.

At the beginning, Yang Cong asked Jiajing for Mobao in order to shoot Jiajing's sycophants, and asked Jiajing to help the School of Physics with the name, and Jiajing readily agreed.

So, on this morning, Yang Cong, who had been away from the capital for nearly three months, came back again, and as soon as he came back, he went straight to the palace to see Jiajing.

Jiajing was quite happy when he heard that Yang Cong was coming, because he was reading the first draft of "The Principle of Gewu Zhizhi" during this time, and he naturally had to read this book if he wanted to propose revisions, and there were hundreds of books in the whole set of "The Principle of Gewu Zhizhi", and he had to deal with government affairs and practice, so he could read it naturally quickly.

It's been nearly three months, and he can only read half of it, but he has a lot of questions and wants to ask Yang Cong.

Originally, he wanted to recruit Yang Cong into the palace, but when he thought that Yang Cong was building a physics college more than ten miles away from the capital, this time it was not troublesome, so he couldn't bear it several times.

The reason why he is like this is not that he is specifically thinking about the courtiers below, the main thing is that he sent someone to inform Yang Cong that it takes time, and it also takes time for Yang Cong to rush back.

It just so happened that Yang Cong came to the door by himself at this time, so there was no need to think about time, and he was excited to recruit Yang Cong in.

After the monarch and the minister saluted, he couldn't wait to ask: "Qingfeng, what you wrote in the "Instrument Chapter" and "Five Elements Chapter" that the fire of the five elements can be used to the extreme, and you can drive the car of thick gold without pulling or pushing, and the speed is very fast, is this true?" ”

This is just the ancient saying of the train, Yang Cong did mention it in the book, but at this time, the industrial base of the Ming Dynasty was too weak, and it did not have the conditions to make trains, so he mentioned it in the book by the way, as one of the specific goals of people who study the principle of learning from things in the future.

He nodded without hesitation and said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed true, the so-called carts, in fact, still need power to move, such as horse-drawn carts, ox carts, donkey carts are powered by livestock, and waterwheels are powered by water." And the so-called fire of the five elements is used to the extreme, in fact, Wei Chen observed the teapot boiling water, the emperor has ever seen that when the teapot boils water, the energy in it can withstand the lid of the pot and constantly tremble? ”

His "observation of the teapot boiling water" is not a brain disease, this is actually the so-called method of the reader, and this method was proposed by Zhu Xi.

To put it simply, the character of reading is to constantly stare at things and observe them in order to exhaust their reasoning.

To say that his "observation of the teapot boiling water" is nothing, Wang Yangming's "grid bamboo" is an exaggeration.

Wang Yangming did not put forward any concept of "unity of knowledge and action" at the beginning, he began to learn Cheng Zhu Lixue, one day, he saw Zhu Xi's theory of "exhaustive theory", and he had the idea of giving it a try.

So, he stared at the bamboo in his backyard, looking hard, trying to "grid" a reason from it.

As a result, he "qualified" to the end, and the "grid" had to spurt blood, and there was no reason for the "grid", so he thought that Zhu Shengren's interpretation of the knowledge of things was fallacious, so he put forward the theory of "the unity of knowledge and action" and "to conscience".

What kind of teapot boiling water Jiajing has really seen it, because when he was in Xingxian Palace, he and Lu Bing and Lu Ling'er brothers and sisters were naughty everywhere, and they naturally went to the back kitchen.

When he heard this, he thought about it, and couldn't help but wonder: "This pot lid is not heavy, compared to the car of thick gold, it is far behind, how do you think that the fire of the five elements can drive the car of thick gold?" ”

Yang Cong explained unhurriedly: "The flowing water looks soft and weak, but the waterwheel that is several zhang high or even a few zhang high can also be pushed by it, Wei Chen thought, this is mainly a matter of method, if you find a way, you can naturally push it." ”

Waterwheel?

Jiajing couldn't help but think of the warship again, and he was curious again: "Qingfeng, you seem to have said that the fire of the five elements can be used to the extreme, and it can also drive the giant wooden boat, and when the time comes, the giant ship can operate on its own without sails or oars, is this also true?" ”

Yang Cong nodded without hesitation and said: "Of course this is also true, how can Weichen talk nonsense and deceive the emperor." ”

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Okay, then when can you make this thick gold car that doesn't need to be pulled or pushed?" ”

There is naturally a reason why he cares so much about this, because he wants to go back to Xingxian Palace.

I don't know how long ago this idea came about, but he has been hesitating, because Xingxian Wangfu is too far away from the capital, if he takes the dragon chariot back, it will take at least more than a month on the road, and it will take three or four months to come and go, such a long time, he really can't afford to delay, so he really wants Yang Cong to make this fast car of thick gold.

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

This is just a long-term goal, and I haven't even skimmed the eight characters at this time, how can I tell Jiajing well?

He thought about it, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, Weichen dares to ask, do you want to take this car with a lot of gold?" ”

Jiajing nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I want to go back to Huguang to have a look, but this journey is too far, if you take the dragon chariot, it will take at least more than a month, and it will take three or four months to go back and forth." According to your book, the speed of the car is extremely fast, and it must take a few days to make a round trip, right? ”

It turns out that if the train is really made, it will only take a few days to make a round trip from Beijing to Huguang.

He thought about it, and simply gritted his teeth and said, "If Weichen goes all out to study, he should be able to make a sample within three years." ”

He is also ruthless, this steam power is the foundation of the industrial revolution, he wants to promote the principle of learning from things, and set off an industrial revolution in the Ming Dynasty, first of all, he has to make this steam engine.

At this time, since Jiajing is so interested, it is natural to make it before he re-enters the officialdom, otherwise, Jiajing will probably be unhappy at that time, so he set himself a three-year deadline.

Three years, I can afford to wait, Jiajing heard this, and couldn't help nodding slightly: "Well, then you should do it as soon as possible, by the way, why did you come to find me this time?" ”

Yang Cong only remembered the purpose of this trip at this time, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The emperor promised Weichen to inscribe the name of the School of Physics, and now the School of Physics has almost been built, can the emperor give Mobao to Weichen?" ”

It turned out that this was the case, Jiajing couldn't help but nod excitedly when he heard this: "Okay, okay, I'll write it for you." ”

He caught these four words and practiced them fiercely during this time, and was about to take them out to show off.
