Chapter 196 False Alarm

The third news is that Tian Kuang, the envoy of the Third Division, is appointed as the Deputy Privy Envoy.

This appointment, among other things, is very important to Sichuanxia Fourth Road.

Ouyang Xiu returned to the court a few years ago. After experiencing a political struggle, he failed and was framed and demoted.

However, just when the opposition was rejoicing, the officials said: "Don't go to Tongzhou, stay and become a Hanlin scholar and compile the "Book of Tang" for me."

So Ouyang Xiu stayed and compiled history with Song Qi.

There is also a short story in the middle. Ouyang Xiu's writing is sophisticated, while Song Qi likes to write articles in a strange way.

Song Qi was the elder, and Ouyang Xiu couldn't say anything. One morning, the boy wrote eight words on the door of the bookstore: "Light sleep is not true, Zha Da Hong Xiu."

Song Qi came to work and looked at the door for a long time: "Hey! Isn't this the old saying of 'Uncle Yong, why do you make it so complicated?"

Ouyang Xiu smiled and said: "Old Song, I didn't learn this from you. When you were revising your book, you wrote 'thunder is too fast to cover one's ears' instead of 'thunder is too fast to cover one's ears'."

Song Qi was also knowledgeable and laughed heartily. "New Book of Tang" followed Ouyang Xiu's style.

Long Changqi told the visiting Su and Su about this matter, and solemnly told the two boys to take care of themselves. Now that the writing style has changed, it means that the spring for scholars in Shu is coming.

The officials did not allow Ouyang Xiu to leave Beijing, which was obviously a political balance and deterrence.

Tian Kuang was Fu Bi's younger brother, and his wife was Fu Bi's sister. Ouyang Xiu was Fu Bi's subordinate during the Qingli New Deal period, and they both belonged to the same party.

Historically, only one famous "On Clique" by Ouyang Xiu has been handed down, but many people don't know that Tian Kuang also wrote one.

One civil and one military, one light and one dark, this is obviously a further balance between the official family and the government.

But these are not important. What is important is that Tian Kuang managed Shu and managed it very well. According to historical evaluation, his management of Shu was similar to that of Zhang Yong.

He attaches great importance to education, and another point is that he was transferred from the Planning Department where Zhang Fangping worked to be the Deputy Privy Envoy.

In other words, in today's imperial court, there is Tian Kuang, an important official who understands the political ecology of central Shu and understands Zhang Fangping's economic policies.

In Shu, there was Zhang Fangping, who understood his predecessor Tian Kuang's strategy for governing Shu and at the same time understood the political trends in the court.

Zhang Fangping has no party and cannot cooperate with Ouyang Xiu, but he and Tian Kuang belong to the same category.

Both of them are capable, capable and very knowledgeable.

Especially regarding Xixia's views, the two people had almost the same views from the beginning. The Song Dynasty should not think that others are easy to deal with, and must be cautious and cautious.

But one is based on situation analysis, and the other is based on data analysis.

If Zhang Fangping is similar to an economist, Tian Kuang is more similar to a statistician.

Moreover, depending on the methods used by the officials, we can have considerable expectations for the future of this field situation.

For the scholars and businessmen in Shu, and for Su You, this was an extremely good thing.

Don’t you like to talk with data? It just so happens that I like it too.

Then the fourth news immediately made Su You jump up from his seat in shock. Si Tianjian said: Solar eclipse on April 1st.

"The Song Dynasty was already able to accurately predict solar eclipses?"

Long Changqi folded up his newspaper: "Isn't it strange? In the Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng and the monks all left records of predictions. Their fashions are mixed. However, now, it is certain that solar eclipses can be predicted."

Su You certainly knew that solar eclipses could be accurately predicted. He knew the orbits of the earth and the moon, and also knew the movement of the sun. In theory, solar eclipses could be predicted accurately to the minute.

He also knew that solar eclipses follow the Saros cycle, which is a cycle of 6585.32 days. During this period, a total of 71 solar eclipses occurred.

However, its location is different, because each Saros cycle has 0.32 days left, not a full day, so at this time the earth rotates another 117 degrees. Then this degree must be predicted and used for correction.

Determine the exact location of the birthday eclipse.

Because the locations are different, this cycle is based on global observation surveys and cannot be calculated just by looking at the solar eclipse record at one location.

So this is a concept and law summarized by later generations. So, how did the astronomers of the Song Dynasty do it now? They must have an independent algorithm.

The first day of the lunar month is the first day of the lunar month, accurate to the sky.

Monsters, these are a group of real monsters...

Long Changqi was not interested in science and casually told Su You that solar eclipses could now be predicted, which had lost its mystery in the eyes of Song people.

But don't relax, Emperor. A solar eclipse will still make the king lose his moral character.

The emperor is stupid, why? Do I have regular convulsions?

The minister said that there is a solar eclipse, so if you lose your virtue, you must practice it... Well, otherwise, we will only consider you to have lost your virtue if there is a solar eclipse on the first day of the lunar month, okay?

If the emperor says come less, doesn't that just lengthen the cycle? Although I study less than you, don't try to lie to me!

The wise minister said that it is better for us to do this. It is still impossible to predict the extent of the solar eclipse, so we should take this as a sign of prosperity and decline.

As long as it is not a total eclipse on the first day of the lunar month, then you are not considered unethical. Are you happy?

The emperor has no choice but to hold his nose and admit that he is my dynasty. That’s why I’m so indulging in you...

…

Su You nodded his chin and thought, this is a rare opportunity, so we need to get the telescope quickly...

With the prediction of the solar eclipse, Meizhou began to prepare for the disaster. God had given a warning, although it was an early warning.

As if to coincide with the occasion, the school has just started, and the weather in March is a little strange.

Hachiko panicked when he looked at the cold and heat watch, and quickly called Zhang San, who was on duty this week and was working on the glass with Shi Fu: "Sanwa, Sanwa, go and call Youwa back! It's going to be a cold spring!"

Zhang San had never farmed before, so he didn't know how serious it was, so Pegasus ran towards Meishan. As soon as he entered the academy, he shouted: "The young master is not good. Hachigong is about to collapse. He said he was exposed to the cold!"

Su You was so frightened that he threw away his books, mounted Huang Chu and ran away. When he arrived at Kelong, he saw Hachigong arranging the hoe and rice seeds.

When Hachiko saw Su You, he was furious: "Who told you to ride so fast?! It's okay if you fall!"

Su Youfei dismounted and pulled Hachigong to look around: "Hachigong, are you okay? Third brother said you have typhoid fever, you are almost... No, this doesn't look like it either..."

Hachiko stared: "What's all this mess? I think your butt is itchy again. Do you want to eat stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots?"

After a while, Zhang San also followed on horseback, carrying a doctor behind him: "Don't be afraid, Hachigong, I have invited the doctor here for you!"

Hachiko threw away the hoe in his hand: "It's just nonsense! When did I say I was sick?!"

Su You hurriedly interjected: "Isn't it? The third brother is just messing around! But look at Hachigong, the doctor has been invited. It's not easy to go all the way. Why don't you let him take your pulse?

Son, just sit down and rest for a while, okay?"

Hachiko was still unhappy: "Weier called me and said I was healthy!"

Su You had a black line on his forehead. Shi Wei was afraid that she was still half-measured, so she had no choice but to persuade him: "Hachigong, as the saying goes, 'medicine is not autonomous'. Wei'er is now considered a member of our family, so she said no."

Forget it. If you don’t believe me, ask the doctor, ask him if he said this!”

Hachiko asked the doctor suspiciously: "Is there any other explanation?"

The doctor was bent over and still panting: "Yes, this is true."

Su You quickly pulled Hachigong to sit down: "Look, that's right, right? Come on, let's show our wrists and show the doctor how healthy our old man in Kelong is!"

The doctor evened out the breath and took Hachiko's pulse: "I tell you two, your old man is really fine, but it's true that my old bones almost fell apart!"

Su You was overjoyed: "Third brother, give the doctor a big seal!"

After saying that, he handed over his hand to the doctor: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, doctor, I'm sorry for going all the way. I'll apologize to you."

The doctor sighed: "Forget it, it's just a show of filial piety from you... Then, kid, what do you want when you come back? Soy sauce, give me two bottles of soy sauce, as well as mustard and bean sprouts, just get me some!"

Su You was very happy: "Hey! The doctor knows our specialty in Kelongli very well. Fans, would you like some?"

The doctor was also a wonderful man. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "The young man has already spoken, so it would be inappropriate for me not to accept him!"

Su You smiled and turned his head: "Third brother, catch another stupid chicken for me. If the chicken soup turns out to be a fan, that's the real thing!"

After sending the happy doctor away, Su You turned back home and said, "Then... what on earth is going on?"
