Chapter 190: Jingshi Siege Eight
It's not good.
Su Baiyi looked coldly at the eight-foot-tall German in front of him.
This is here to smash the field.
Moreover, this thing seems to be a guy with a relatively high technology content.
Facing Su Baiyi's horizontal eyebrows and cold eyes, Tang Ruowang only smiled slightly.
Wen Tiren next to him also smiled, and continued to say to Su Baiyi: "I heard that Mr. Su knows astronomy and geography, it is a coincidence, our Lord Tang, well, is also your top boss, Sipin Qintian Supervisor Zheng, and he is also a strange man who knows astronomy and geography." Mr. Su probably didn't know that Mr. Tang had accurately predicted lunar eclipses twice. ”
Awesome, my brother Di!
Something as high-end as a solar eclipse can be predicted, so needless to say, the relationship between the sun and the earth must know more than the old man!
It's a bit of a hassle to deal with this guy!
"Not bad!" Xu Guangqi also spoke, he sighed slightly, and said calmly to Su Baiyi: "Since Mr. Xitai's death, Qin Tianjian has been in charge of Mr. Tang, and in the third year of the Apocalypse, Mr. Tang accurately predicted the Heavenly Dog Eclipse Moon, which many of you here today know. ”
Xu Guangqi did not stand in John Tang's camp to help him speak, in fact, John Tang's prediction of the lunar eclipse was a fact, and no one could deny it. The reason why he mentioned it to Su Baiyi again after Wen Tiren said it was to remind Su Baiyi and tell him that the guy in front of him called Tang Ruowang was not easy to mess with.
Su Baiyi nodded at Xu Guangqi to express his gratitude, and there was not much fear on his face.
Just kidding, what if you're from Europe?
Europe is still in the ignorant stage of science, Lao Tzu is a leapfrog talent who came over the mature period of the great development of science in the 21st century, is it not as good as you?
"Your Majesty!" Wen Tiren arched his hand towards Chongzhen: "The minister heard that when Su Baiyi was lecturing in Guide Mansion, he often preached with the lecture hall, saying that the ground under our feet is a big ball, and the minister was absolutely absurd when he first heard this, but in any case, Mr. Xitai had already said it thirty years ago, and it was not Su Baiyi who initiated it!" ”
The words are very clear, and the reason is also very clear.
You Su Baiyi said that the earth is spherical and round. Let's not talk about whether it's right or wrong, this statement has been put forward by people 30 years ago, and you only said it at this moment, it's just a cloud of people picking up people's teeth and wisdom, what's so strange?
Su Baiyi looked at Wen Tiren, who was bowing to the emperor with his back to him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: No wonder I am a famous traitor in the history of Great China, as far as this method is concerned, it is really amazing.
If he takes out the intellectual works of Confucianism to debate at this moment, there is no doubt that the best outcome for the traitorous ministers is that there is no result in arguing between the two sides, and no one can convince anyone!
But if you take technology to attack technology, not to go toe-to-toe with you, but to find loopholes and shortcomings from the opponent's theory itself, the effect is too obvious.
Really!
Traitors are not what ordinary people can do, sometimes it is much more difficult to be a traitor than to be a loyal minister, not only must you have the heart to be a traitor, but you also have to have the ability to be a traitor.
Everyone's eyes fell on Su Baiyi, and there was no murderous aura!
But Su Baiyi saw four words from this gaze: picking up people's teeth and wisdom.
Fortunately, when Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, he didn't have too many doubts, and his eyes were still full of expectation and trust.
Su Baiyi smiled at him, and his confidence was exposed.
"And!" Tang Ruowang groped in his sleeve for a while, suddenly took out a thick piece of glass the size of a palm, bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, and then put the glass piece on the table.
"Your Majesty, this is the glass brought by the minister's hometown, although it is not as fine as the glass made by Master Su, but it is indeed glass, so the method of making glass is not unusual."
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the seemingly worn piece of glass.
Clear and transparent!
Yes, it's a piece of glass.
Compared with the glass made by Su Baiyi, there is a slight green color cast, and there is basically no difference between others.
Su Baiyi also looked at it carefully, and had to admit that the piece of glass that Tang Ruowang took out was really good, not only crystal clear, but also dense and bubble-free.
It seems that the glass-making process in Europe is indeed good.
Yes, the Galilean telescope has been made more than ten years ago, and it is not unusual to have molten glass.
But the rest of the crowd didn't think so.
Contacting the fact that Su Baiyi has been to Western countries, a word emerged in their hearts at the same time, called: plagiarism!
It turns out that the so-called natural science of your Mo family is all copied from the West, and it is all something that has been passed down from the barbarian land!
China already looks down on barbarians, and it has to boycott barbarian things. Now that Su Baiyi's way of natural science comes from barbarians, those who have been suppressed by Su Baiyi or who once admired Su Baiyi's knowledge suddenly feel the superiority of Confucianism.
The so-called Momen, the so-called Suzi!
Hehe!
It's just a liar's ear!
"Mr. Su, if the old man didn't guess wrong!" Tang Ruowang didn't know if it had been in China for a long time, so he was contaminated with the problems of those old Chinese husbands, spoke stiff Chinese official words, touched his beard, looked at Su Baiyi with interest, and said proudly: "If the old man didn't guess wrong, Mr. Su's glass-making method was not created by himself, but from the West, I don't know if it's right or not?" ”
What's this?
Really!
You know 500 years in advance and 1,000 years later, such a profound question has been studied for you!
It's worthy of John Tang, a cheat!
Su Baiyi gave him a thumbs up in his heart, but he smiled on his lips, and did not answer Tang Ruowang's question directly, but asked rhetorically: "Your glass blue-green is too obvious, although the production method is the same as mine, but your method of removing color is not as good as the old man!" ”
Tang Ruowang pondered for a long time before nodding and saying, "It seems to be right!" ”
After all, Su Baiyi's things were much better than the best glass he had brought from his hometown, and he couldn't admit it.
As for how to make glass, he doesn't know either!
Because glassmaking, even in Europe at this time, was a high-level secret. It is said that in order to monopolize technology, all craftsmen were confined to a small island in the middle of the sea, and they were not allowed to go out, and their children and grandchildren made glass for their rulers.
"Then let's talk about this again!" Tang Ruowang groped through his magical sleeve again, and took out a piece of soap weighing half a pound and put it on the table, and everyone looked at it, and there was a dark engraved word "Yu" on the soap surface, which was the No. 1 gold-making product produced by Yuyuan: Yuyuan soap.
Fifty pieces of text, Tong Suo is not bullied.
Of course, this is only the price of Guide.
After the soap arrived in Kyoshi, it completely changed and became a special product for the nobility. It is said that they were sold for 500 yuan.
This damn Cheng Kai, really special mother's black!
After Su Baiyi greeted Cheng Kaifang's eighteenth generation female ancestor in his heart, he raised his eyes and said, "Isn't this the soap from my Yuyuan, Lord Tang actually carries it with him, could it be that he often picks up soap with Lord Wen?" ”
"Picking up soap?" Tang Ruowang was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand the meaning of heaven and earth contained in these three words, but just shook his head and said: "Speaking of soap, as far as the old man knows, many towns in England can make this kind of soap. ”
Speaking of this, Tang Ruowang smiled treacherously and arched his hand to everyone present: "Actually, there is nothing unusual about the production method of this soap, which is to mix the water from the mutton fat and plant ashes and stir it together, and you can get it." It's ridiculous that Su Baiyi is self-sustaining with his skills, and he actually made a windfall in my Ming Dynasty. ”
Su Baiyi could only smile bitterly!
I was really told by this guy.
In fact, there is no surprise, although soap appeared relatively late in China, but in the world, the history of use is really long, thousands of years.
However, if those dignitaries really made soap according to the method mentioned by John Tang, it would be really a pitfall.
Why?
Because the ash is potassium carbonate, although it is alkaline, it can be very weak; Su Baiyi uses caustic soda, which is thousands of times more alkaline than grass and wood ash water, and everything made has decontamination.
But can this performance be compared?
"Master Su, since you have been to the West, you should have also been to England, and this soap-making method was also learned from England."
"I see!"
"Su Baiyi deceived the world and stole his name!"
"It's so easy to make soap!"
"Hmph...... Su Baiyi is really black-hearted, a palm-sized piece of soap is actually priced at 500 Wen, you, you, you...... Why don't you rob it? ”
"Your Majesty...... Please cure the sin of Su Baiyi's foolish people! ”
……
Chongzhen just listened quietly, and then watched quietly, without expressing the slightest expression of the ministers' discussions and requests. He glanced at Su Baiyi and found that Su Baiyi was still sitting there, calm and still, just like the night when the two first met, talking with confidence.
So, the emperor just smiled!
Because from the very beginning, the reason why he listed Su Baiyi as a great ruler was not these useless theories and inventions. It was a five-handed arrangement that night.
And right now, what John Tang said is all a small way!
After discovering the emperor's attitude, everyone's anger slowly returned to calm.
Tang Ruowang took a deep breath and continued: "Let's talk about the atmosphere, the atmosphere seems to be very magical in our Ming Dynasty, but it is not new in the Western countries. A Western predecessor once said: All objects have their own weight, but each has different weights and dense textures, if people cannot recognize the existence of a vacuum by feeling and understanding, then how can they seriously exist with feeling and understanding?
Moreover, this person used the method of water sinking to drive away the atmosphere in the water pipe and obtain a vacuum. So, Mr. Su, don't say that you haven't heard the words of this Galileo senior. ”
