Chapter 590: The Day Xi Shi Gave Birth

Compared with the "geocentric theory", in fact, Qingji knows that the "heliocentric theory" is a more correct conceptual theory.

Heliocentrism, also known as geocentrism, is the opposite of geocentrism about the motion of celestial bodies, which holds that the sun is the center of the universe, not the earth.

And the person who proposed this "heliocentric theory" was Nicolaus Copernicus!

A figure nearly 2,000 years later!

Is this too far ahead of its time?

Qingji thought for a moment, and then replied, "Mr. Muller, in fact, the widow recognizes the heliocentric theory more than the geocentric theory."

"There are three reasons. For one, the Earth is spherical. If you put a light source on the top of the mast, when the ship moves away from the shore, the people on the shore will see the light gradually decrease until it disappears."

"Second, the earth is moving, and it rotates once in twelve hours."

"Because the sky is so much bigger than the earth, it is inconceivable that the infinite heavenly dome is rotating and the earth is not moving."

"Third, the sun is immobile, and in the center of the universe, the earth and other planets move in a circle around the sun, and only the moon orbits the earth."

"Shhh

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Heliocentrism?

This is a doctrine that has never been seen before!

Not only Muller, but also Lao Tzu, Fan Li, Ji Ran and others, who have studied astronomy, are all dumbfounded.

They wanted to refute Qingji, but they didn't know where to start.

Mueller was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously, "Your Excellency King Wu, if you say it, where is the center of the earth?"

Hearing this, the ministers and doctors of Wu only thought that Muller was making things difficult and jealous, and couldn't help but glared at Muller.

Qingji just waved his hand and laughed it off.

"The King!"

Tingwei Bo was really intolerable, and said with a glare: "This envoy of the Fan Kingdom is really too rude!"

"In the middle of the world? Hmph, in this world, it is naturally in China, in Middle-earth!"

"Since ancient times, I have been known as "Zhongguo"!"

"Exactly!"

"If the world is the earth, the center of the earth, why not for me China?"

The ministers and doctors all expressed their opinions, believing that in the middle of the world, they were in the Central Plains.

And Qingji seems to agree with this point of view.

I saw Qingji say slowly: "Mr. Muller, the center of the earth, in the world, is naturally at the feet of the widow, at the feet of the second and third sons!"

Hearing this, the ministers and doctors of Wu State all agreed deeply.

But Müller disagreed.

Mueller looked disappointed and sighed, "Why is Your Excellency King Wu so arrogant?"

"How can you be sure that the world is under your feet?"

When Qingji heard this, he was not angry, but just waved his hand and said, "It is not difficult to answer this question."

"Someone! Fetch an egg for the widow!"

After receiving Qingji's instructions, not long after, a palace maid brought a raw egg.

Qingji stood on the platform, pointed to the egg, and said with a slight smile, "Second and third sons, which of you can erect this egg? Is Mr. Müller okay?"

Hearing this, everyone tried it one after another.

Including Mueller!

However, no matter what, they couldn't stand the eggs upright.

When the egg is placed, as soon as you let go, the egg has already fallen......

In the end, Qingji personally went out, gently smashed the corner of the egg, and then placed it on the tray steadily!

Seeing this scene, the wise men in the court had already reacted.

Qingji also smiled meaningfully: "Being able to think what ordinary people can't think and do what ordinary people can't do, this is the charm of academics!"

"Monsieur Müller, as the widow said before, the earth rotates, so the widow says

Is there anything wrong with your feet in the world?"

Mueller couldn't help but be in awe, and saluted towards Qingji with joy and sincerity: "Obey, contemptible!"

……

Because of the strong academic atmosphere of Wu Guoji's school palace, Mueller chose to stay in Jinling, preach and receive employment, and started a sect.

Gradually, a new school was formed in the state of Wu, the Yin-Yang school headed by Muller, Ji Ran and others, which belonged to a branch of Taoism.

As for the theory of "the sky is round and the place is round", the hundreds of schools of thought are also arguing over it, and it has become a major topic that makes the world's scholars talk about it.

Of course, that's a later thing.

The fame of Wu has spread to the West, so that including the Persians and the 36 countries of the Western Regions, they all choose to enter China through the Silk Road and do business with the Chinese countries.

The cultural and economic exchanges between the East and the West began with this, and new changes were produced......

"Ah! Yes! Ahh

"Lady Yiguang! Go hard! Push harder!"

At this time, outside a splendid palace, Qingji frowned and paced there with some uneasiness.

In the corridor, there were some palace maids carrying a basin of blood and water, walking around.

I don't know if this uneasy feeling of Qingji is caused by Yiguang, who is giving birth inside, or because of the increasingly bad weather......

"Click!"

Another purple-blue thunderclap rang out, piercing the sky and illuminating the huge palace complex as if it were day.

Above the dome, it rained heavily.

The heavy rain poured down, causing a large amount of water to overflow the floors of the Wu Palace.

Many of the chamberlains and palace maids were busy scooping up the rainwater overflowing in the courtyard, and then putting it out in a large basin.

Fortunately, when the Wu Palace was built, the drainage system was extremely perfect, otherwise the palace might have been flooded at this time.

A rare look of worry appeared on Qingji's face.

The sisters Jiang and Zheng Dan who followed along, as well as the sons and princesses of all sizes, just thought that Qingji was worried about Yiguang in the delivery room, and they didn't care.

Yiguang's biological sister Jiang was still comforting on the side: "King, Yiguang's body and bones are not bad, and when he was pregnant before, he was also properly taken care of, I believe that the mother and child will be safe."

"I hope so."

Qingji bowed slightly.

Regarding Yiguang's childbirth, Qingji also has some worries.

After all, the medical and health conditions of this era were backward.

There is also a great danger to a woman during childbirth.

In one sentence, it is-

The ghost door is closed!

This is Yiguang's first cover, and Qingji will inevitably be a little worried.

In ancient times, there were not a few children who died young, including Qingji's children, and a few of them have died......

This is something that makes Qingji heartbroken, but there is nothing to be done.

Baoda?

Keeping it small?

Qingji's choice is to protect the university.

If this is in ordinary people's homes, there are not a few stillbirths, and there are not a few mothers and children who die.

However, thanks to Wu's policy of encouraging childbirth.

In general, pregnant women can be cared for by a doctor from the day of pregnancy to the day of delivery.

This is also a major reason why the population of Wu can show a blowout growth!
