Chang Er scratched his head and looked at Little Marco Polo suspiciously,

Little Marco Polo has such a big posture, so he thinks he can tell what exciting secrets, but what he actually said is a big disappointment for Chang Er.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Little Marco Polo's eyes, and his perception of Chang Er in his heart plummeted, Chang Er didn't know how to pretend to understand, and it was really cheap.

"My lord, do you know what the geocentric theory is? This is a theory deduced by Italian theologians and countless astronomers.

By the time you keep your eyes on your feet, our eyes are already on the sky.

As for what you said, I have never heard of it.

My lord, it's better to be humble about what you don't know. ”

Chang Er smiled,

"What don't you understand about this, geocentrism is to take the earth as the center of the whole universe,

Heliocentrism is the belief that the sun is the center of the universe.

But I'm telling you, both geocentrism and heliocentrism are wrong,

The Sun is nothing but the center of the solar system, and the solar system is just one galaxy in the vast universe. ”

Little Marco Polo's eyes widened, and the picture in front of him was so weird, a businessman dressed in a fancy costume and covered with the smell of copper was actually talking about astronomy.

Even some of the words that came out of his mouth, Marco Polo had never even heard of them,

Besides, Chang Er's confident expression made Marco Polo unable to guess for a while whether he was talking nonsense or whether it was true.

"Great, sir, you...."

"I thought you were going to say something esoteric, isn't that common sense?"

Little Marco Polo opened his mouth wide and smashed his chin directly on the ground,

Often, often.... Common sense?!!

Geocentrism, which is regarded as the highest level by the Italian Church, is just common sense in the Ming Dynasty?!

And it sounds like the geocentric theory is still wrong?

Little Marco Polo couldn't stand still, and the confidence on his face disappeared in an instant.

Before coming to the Ming Dynasty, although his grandfather's Marco Polo's travels, China described as a country with high political wisdom,

It was inconceivable in the eyes of Marco Polo that it could manage tens of thousands of people in a stepwise manner with only a central bureaucracy of a few hundred people through its personnel and institutional structure.

But

The Central Plains has been in war all year round, so that there is no peaceful environment to give continuous development of scientific knowledge and technology.

Marco Polo Jr. inevitably had a condescending attitude when talking about astronomical knowledge, and in his opinion, revealing some astronomical knowledge casually was enough for Chinese to study for several years.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to cooperate with Chang Er too much in the ultra-thin business, Marco Polo would not have thrown such a big bomb at once.

However, who would have thought that such a big bomb would turn out to be a squib!

Chang Er's eyes were cold, and he said lightly,

"I don't know, what do you have to pack.

In terms of astronomy and geography, the Chinese people can be your ancestors. ”

Chang Er's statement is true, China began to use the calendar in ancient times,

Astronomical attainments have always been far ahead, in the absence of redundant high-precision instruments, the data measured by the naked eye, the error is negligible,

It's just that in the modern period, the Ming and Qing dynasties closed off the country for too long, and the scientific knowledge in the Central Plains could only eat the old book, which was overtaken by Western countries.

But this does not affect the strong foundation of scientific knowledge in the previous dynasties.

Little Marco Polo looked in a trance,

"Then you say, what is heliocentrism?!"

"Hehe, it just so happens that today's Beijing Normal University Hall is an open class on astronomy, do you want to know? Let's go. ”

Chang Er pushed the door out, and Gandhi, who was waiting outside the door, didn't know what was happening, and little Marco Polo followed behind him step by step, as if he had lost his soul.

Gandhi realized that something was wrong, and stepped forward to grab little Marco Polo and asked,

"What's wrong?"

Little Marco Polo didn't even hear Gandhi's words, but just followed behind Tsunei, and Gandhi's eyes flashed, and he followed.

A group of three people went to the second largest building in Yingtianfu, the Jingshi University Hall.

Chang Er motioned for the two of them to go in and said,

"Go in, follow the flow of people, and you can hear the open astronomy class on the playground."

Marco Polo relented and exclaimed,

"You mean everybody can listen?"

Chang Er said proudly,

"Naturally, His Majesty once said that everyone should have books to read and everyone to eat, and this is it."

Gandhi, who finally knew what was going on halfway, and Marco Polo stared at each other with wide eyes, and both of them had a shocked look in their eyes.

In their country, no, just their country, I'm afraid in any country, knowledge should be charged, and knowledge is monopolized only in the hands of a few,

Otherwise, how can the privileged status of the minority be guaranteed?

And the Ming Dynasty, who manages such a large population, should be even more so, but, but what is the situation now, everyone should have books to read? Everyone's wisdom?

Isn't this a self-digging grave for the Ming royal family?!

Thinking of this, Gandhi and Little Marco Polo suddenly flashed a hint of understanding,

If you want to say that knowledge can be learned by anyone at will, they don't believe it, there is only one possibility, and the knowledge taught in the form of open classes is completely virtual.

It's just a show made by the Ming Emperor to show his benevolence.

The two of them thought of this in unison.

"What are you doing in a daze, going?"

In Chang Er's urging, the two of them followed the flow of people into the hall of Jingshi University.

Two hours later, the open class ended.

Gandhi and Marco Polo walked out of the crowd again, both of them did not say a word, and there was a look of shock on their faces.

Marco Polo's book is already full of all kinds of astronomical knowledge, and he randomly takes out a theory that shocks the whole world.

In such a comparison, the geocentrism that is hidden by the Italian church and the royal family is really like a trouble.

Little Marco Polo was taught in this class, as if he was reborn,

At this moment, his worship of Da Ming has been gushing like a river,

"As your friend, I give you a sincere opinion."

Marco Polo looked at Gandhi, his eyes were more serious than ever,

"What?"

"No matter what Da Ming asks, you must do it, even if they monopolize the sugar, you must do it.

Don't have any thoughts of going to war with Da Ming, not even the slightest bit, you know? ”

Seeing Little Marco Polo's eyes, Gan nodded subconsciously, and then said stiffly,

"It's just some knowledge, can it make their soldiers more able to fight?"

Little Marco Polo sneered and looked at Gandhi with pathetic eyes,

"My friend, you weren't in the crowd just now, didn't you hear that?

Even an old farmer can talk eloquently about astronomy,

Even he spoke wiser than the theologians of the church,

Do you think that in such a country, the army can be weak? ”
