Chapter 225 Hu Ye said that the earth is round
"Ahh What the! β
Hu Ye was awakened by Ruan An's shouting and quickly came back to his senses.
"I said that your kid was listening to me just now, our family told you so much, didn't you listen to it a little!" Ruan An said angrily.
"Well, the kid listened a little, wasn't he thinking about how to solve the problem for Grandpa Ruan just now?" Hu Ye smiled embarrassedly, just now he was asked by Ruan An's series of questions, he didn't expect that he was just playing tricks on Ruan An at the beginning, and until now, this Ruan An is still on the road of studying mechanics.
"Hmph, even if you kid has a little conscience, it is not in vain that I strongly recommend you in front of the emperor." Ruan An's face softened a little.
"By the way, Grandpa Ruan, you came this time, didn't you just ask me those questions just now? Didn't it bring some of the emperor's will? For example, about my Qingtian Street? Hu Ye asked tentatively.
"The will is there, but I can't give it to you now, if you can't answer my question just now, this holy decree will not be transmitted, I will go back and say that there is a boy who dares to resist the decree and refuses to accept the decree, and someone will naturally come to clean you up at that time." Ruan An said coldly.
The old money behind Hu Ye shook his body, he always thought that he was the thickest-skinned. But now it seems that this Ruan An is a scoundrel, and he can't catch up with him.
"Grandpa Ruan, there is something to say, something to say."
Hu Ye immediately laughed, but in his heart he slandered this Ruan An.
"If you want to answer my question, I will naturally pass on your holy decree." Ruan An touched his bare chin. Said proudly.
"What's that, please ask Gonggong Ruan to repeat the question just now, people are old. Somewhat forgetful. Hu Ye smiled awkwardly, he really didn't listen to Ruan An's question just now.
"You ......"
Ruan An was very angry by Hu Ye's words, but in order to have a deeper understanding of Newton, he still suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Listen, I only had two questions just now. The first is how to measure the size of Newton. Second, could Newton make this teacup fly. β
Hu Ye was shocked when he heard this. This Ruan An is worthy of being a contemporary master architect, and his understanding of mechanics is really superior.
This would be thinking about the units of mechanics, and there was already an interest in the rudiments of the airplane.
"Uh. That's a bit of a hassle to talk about the first question. Hu Ye paused, and then said.
"I'm not afraid of trouble, you can tell me about it first." Ruan An said without knowing what to say.
Hu Ye suddenly felt big. I was not proficient in this knowledge of mechanics in the first place. If you want to explain the relationship between a cow and a catty, I'm afraid that I will be dizzy, how can I tell Ruan An.
However, looking at Ruan An's situation, he will not give up until the Yellow River, if he doesn't tell the reason today, I'm afraid he won't get the holy decree in Ruan An's hands, and I'm afraid that the renovation plan of Qingtian Street will be aborted.
"Well, I'll ask you first. Do you know what is under our feet? Hu Ye asked loudly.
"Land, of course."
Ruan An glanced at Hu Ye with the eyes of an idiot, what kind of problem is this?
"I mean where we live. The Ming Dynasty is so big, and there are Goryeo, Northern Yuan, and Western Regions around, have you ever thought about what else is beyond these? Have you ever wondered what so many people live on? Hu Ye asked.
"O earth, only the earth can carry so many people. I don't know what you said this has to do with Newton? Are you trying to fool me? Ruan An was upset, thinking that Hu Ye was asking an inconsequential question.
Hu Ye rolled his eyes, it seemed that if he didn't give Ruan An some fierce information, this dead eunuch would not believe him.
"Old Qian, go get me a globe." Hu Ye said loudly.
"What? What is a globe called? "Old Qian was stunned, the young master couldn't have been driven crazy by this dead eunuch, right?
"Uh." Hu Ye smashed his head, how could there be a globe in this era.
"Forget it, you go and get me a big watermelon." Hu Ye changed his words.
"Young master, it's October now, where did the big watermelon come from, but there is a watermelon skin." Old Qian said in embarrassment.
"There are no watermelons in any broken places." Hu Ye scolded, but then there was no greenhouse in this era, and there was indeed no watermelon at this time, "No matter, just find me a spherical thing, it's round." β
"Oh, I'll go." Old Qian answered, and then walked out.
After a while, Lao Qian came in, holding a fist-sized stone in his hand, which was indeed very round, but Hu Ye felt as if he had seen it somewhere.
Suddenly, Hu Ye realized that this was not the stone in the mouth of the stone lion in front of the door! This old money is too loser!
"You scumbag! That's a faΓ§ade! Hu Ye stood up and kicked Lao Qian with both feet.
"Young master, didn't you say it's a round one, you're not happy that I found it for you." Old Qian felt very aggrieved.
At this time, Saren and Tsing Yi both walked in, covered their mouths and smiled, thinking that the young master was the most handsome when he bullied Uncle Qian.
After kicking twice, Hu Ye also stopped, and then said to Saren and Tsing Yi who were snickering outside the door, "You two also come in for me, I will teach you a good lesson today." β
Saren and Tsing Yi reluctantly walked in and stood behind Hu Ye in a proper manner.
"Grandpa Ruan, do you still believe in the round heaven and the earth?" Hu Ye asked straight to the point.
"Of course, how can something wrong with what has been passed down from our ancestors." Ruan An said disdainfully.
"Then I'm telling you now, you're wrong about this!" Hu Ye snorted coldly, then put the stone on the table, then pointed to the stone and said, "Shrink the land under our feet infinitely, and it will become like this in the end!" β
"What! You say the ground under our feet is round? Ruan An was taken aback, isn't this to subvert what has been passed down from the ancestors?
"Yes, it's very round and round." Hu Ye said firmly.
"Why do you say that? What does this Newton have to do with it? Ruan An was taken aback for a moment and then asked.
"For I have seen the whole picture of the ground beneath our feet. That's what it looks like. Hu Ye pointed to the stone and said, "As for what this has to do with Newton, only you admit that the ground under our feet is round." I'll be able to explain it to you. β
Ruan An was very reluctant to believe that the apprentice's land under his feet was round, but in order to know how to portray Newton, he still nodded very against his will.
Hu Ye smiled proudly, it doesn't matter if they don't believe it now, when Zhu Di comes to power, just let Zheng He take a round-the-world voyage.
So Hu Ye picked up the stone, found a brush and drew a circle in the middle. It is used to indicate the equator, and then points to a place above the equator and says, "We live here now." The Northern Yuan is here, and this is the legendary sea, and here ......"
Saren and Tsing Yi looked curiously at the stone in Hu Ye's hand, watching the brush wander in Hu Ye's hand. Then leave a mark on the stone. A simple little globe appeared.
"Are you saying that in addition to the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding countries, there are also large tracts of land?" Ruan An looked at the stone in Hu Ye's hand, pointed to the extremely ugly South American continent and Oceania drawn by Hu Ye, and said in surprise.
"Yes, although our Ming Dynasty is big, it is also a drop in the bucket compared to the entire earth." Hu Ye said slowly.
Obviously, Ruan An was shocked by Hu Ye's theory. The Ming Dynasty claims to be the first state in the world, but if there are so many other people's lands outside. And where does it come to be the first state?
"I said that you kid didn't come up with this to fool me to fool me, what does this have to do with Newton?" After a while, Ruan An's shock was a little smaller, and he still didn't believe Hu Ye's words, after all, the things of the ancestors have been tested for thousands of years, and they will not change because of Hu Ye's words.
"You can not believe this now, but one day I will make you believe it." Hu Ye put down the stone and said loudly.
He knew that it was rare to change the thinking of the people of the Ming Dynasty, so he wanted to build a college in Qingtian Street, and knowledge was the source of human progress.
"As for what Newton is measured by, I can only say that there is no specific thing to measure it yet, because it is not the same size in different places."
"On this line, for example, you can use the weight of two taels of things to represent a newton." Hu Ye said, pointing to the line indicating the equator.
"But here, there is more to represent a newton than two taels." Hu Ye pointed to the two points that represented the two poles and said.
"Don't ask me what I'm talking about, because I don't know what I'm talking about, I just heard my master mention it. All I can tell you is that Newton can be expressed in terms of the weight of something, but weight is not the same as Newton, and in different places, there are different conversion conditions. β
"If you don't believe it, you can do a simple experiment." Hu Ye looked at Ruan An's somewhat puzzled eyes, and then spoke.
Ruan An is really puzzled now, he has not yet accepted the concept that the earth is round, and he naturally has no concept of the north and south poles.
"What experiment?" Despite this, Ruan An still selectively believed in Hu Ye, after all, this kid was very magical.
"This experiment is very simple, you must know the way of springs, right?" Hu Ye asked casually.
"Nonsense, of course this thing knows the truth." Ruan An said loudly.
"What you have to do is to create a spring that is very elastic and sensitive, and you have to keep the ants attached to it, and you can see the change, it's not difficult, right?"
"It's a bit difficult, but it should be possible." Ruan An nodded.
"You should know that the heavier the thing hanging under the spring, the greater the elongation of the spring, right?" Hu Ye looked at Ruan An, saw Ruan An nodding, and then said, "But I want to tell you, the same thing, hanging on the same spring, in different places, the length of the spring is different, do you believe this?" β
"What, there's such a thing?" Ruan An was shocked when he heard this, he really hadn't paid attention to this problem before.
"I knew you didn't believe it, that's why I asked you to do the experiment. However, these two places should not be too close, one should be selected in Guangzhou, and the other should be selected in Beiping, and after you finish this experiment, you will naturally have some understanding of what I said. If you still don't believe what I say at that time, I won't have anything to say. Hu Ye shrugged. He knew that the same object, in different places, was subjected to different gravitational forces. This is the best way for Ruan An to understand this thing.
If Ruan An still can't understand this time, Hu Ye will be powerless.
"It looks like this experiment will take a few days, and I'm not sure if it's going to be as you said." Ruan An frowned, Hu Ye said too mysteriously, which naturally made him a little confused, and then said. "I'll wait until I'm done with the experiment you mentioned, but what about my second question? Can the cup fly? β
"Theoretically, anything could fly." Hu Ye smiled indifferently. Then he threw the stone in his hand out of the water.
"Look at this stone, it's flying in the air, but Newton has caused it to fall. But if there is a Newton that keeps it going up, it can stay in the air all the time. Hu Ye said.
"Can a stone stay in the air forever?" It's not Ruan An who is surprised. Old Qian didn't believe it anymore. I thought that the young master was blowing up the cowhide now.
"Not only can stones fly, but even iron sheets can fly, and steel can fly, as long as you can thoroughly understand the Newton I told you, you can do it, I am very optimistic about you." Hu Ye said hesitantly.
Ruan An's face changed several times, if it was another person who said this, he would ensure that a big mouth would disperse. But Hu Ye is amazing, what he said. Ruan An had to think about it many times.
"Then according to your meaning, isn't it possible for people to fly to the sky?" Ruan An asked in a low voice.
"Of course you can, Kong Ming lanterns can fly into the sky, but no one can go to the sky. Again, as long as you understand Newton, you will understand these things. Hu Ye comforted Ruan An, and said in his heart that this dead eunuch must not be able to sleep tonight, and he must be thinking about how people can go to heaven? How can the earth be round?
What Hu Ye didn't expect was that Ruan An didn't need to wait until the evening, after listening to Hu Ye's words, he couldn't sit still, stood up, and said to Hu Ye, "Our family can't wait, we have to go back to do the experiment you said, if you dare to tease our family, see if I don't clean you up!" β
Ruan An was about to leave after speaking, Hu Ye hurriedly reminded loudly, "Father-in-law Ruan, don't you have the emperor's will, if you don't pass on the holy decree and let the emperor know the way, you won't be able to eat and walk around." β
"Take it, you can do it yourself, the emperor can say it, if you can't figure it out this time, let you enter the palace to be a eunuch!" Ruan An took out the holy decree from his sleeve and handed it to Hu Ye, saving even the procedure of reading the holy decree.
Hearing that he was allowed to enter the palace as a eunuch, Hu Ye was cold under his crotch, I don't know what Zhu Yuanzhang meant by this, or what Ruan An meant.
Before Hu Ye could react, Ruan An had already disappeared, presumably in a hurry to go back to make such a spring, and then let people go to Guangzhou and Beiping to experiment.
"Young master, we are optimistic about you, but you are going to inherit the ancestor of the nameless mansion, and you must not enter the palace as a eunuch." Saren came to Hu Ye's ear and said.
Hu Ye turned around and glanced at Saren, this girl is getting bigger and smaller now, look at how quiet Tsing Yi is.
But the next moment, Hu Ye overturned his opinion, because when he turned around, the holy decree had already reached Tsing Yi's hands.
"You ......"
Hu Ye was so angry that he got used to these two girls, and he could do such things as snatching the holy decree.
"Young master, the emperor said that he would give you 100,000 taels of silver." Tsing Yi opened the holy decree and glanced at it, and then said to Hu Ye in surprise.
These days, Saren and Tsing Yi have learned a lot of words with Hu Ye and Yin Changlong, and the content of this holy decree is not difficult for her.
"What money was given to me, it was used to build Qingtian Street." Hu Ye rolled his eyes, how can this Tsing Yi be worth caring about money, it must be that if you stay with old money for a long time, you will subtly fall in love with money.
Then Hu Ye snatched the holy decree, which roughly means that Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the jurisdiction of the entire Qingtian to Hu Ye, and also allocated 100,000 taels to let Hu Ye complete his concept of this comprehensive community.
Hu Ye didn't expect that his plan would pass Zhu Yuanzhang's level so easily, and he gave himself 100,000 taels of silver.
"It seems that this Zhu Yuanzhang is still quite discerning, and I know that my community will bring changes to the Ming Dynasty." Hu Ye muttered.
"Young master, with 100,000 taels of silver, we can transform this nameless mansion into a grand and magnificent mansion like the nameless mansion in Beiping!" Lao Qian stepped forward and gave Hu Ye advice.
"Get out!"
Hu Ye kicked again, kicking the old money and turning it on his back.
If it is really used to build a nameless mansion, it will be embezzlement of public funds, which is a great crime in later generations, and it is also a big crime in the Ming Dynasty.
When the time comes, if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't have to do it, there will be countless officials who will start attacking him.
"Tsing Yi, when the money arrives, you will keep it for me. Now that Aunt Lan and Su Rina are in Beiping, there is one less person in charge of money in the Nameless Mansion, and this important task will be handed over to you. In the future, you will have to record the amount of money spent on any project you dare to do, and you have heard it. Hu Ye suddenly said to Tsing Yi.
Tsing Yi was stunned, 100,000 taels of silver, that's not a small amount. She had grown so big that she had never owned a hundred taels of silver, and now a hundred thousand taels of silver suddenly came, which made her a little panicked.
"Young master, I'm ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to manage it. Tsing Yi said with some cringe.
"If you can't come to school, Su Rina will definitely go back to Mongolia in the future, and the Nameless Mansion needs someone who can manage money. Aunt Lan only manages a small amount of money, and she can't manage a large number. You've seen a lot with me these days, so you'll naturally be handy. Hu Ye said irrefutably.
He knew that Su Rina was still managing the entry and exit accounts of the Nameless Mansion in Beiping, but as a Mongolian nobleman, she would definitely not stay in the Nameless Mansion for the rest of her life. At that time, the Nameless Mansion needs someone who can manage the accounts, and it will start cultivating now.
"Then I'll give it a try." Tsing Yi said tremblingly, completely like the two of them when he grabbed the holy decree just now.
"Saren, go and call me all the farmers on Qingtian Street, and I will discuss with them the main details of the construction of Qingtian Street." Hu Ye put away the holy decree and said to Saren.
Now everything is ready, just waiting for this integrated community to start work. (To be continued......)
