Chapter 438 Calendar Calculator
Su You quickly took off the futou, lifted up his sleeves and wiped his forehead: "Hahaha... It's quite difficult. Isn't it just the same as being rounded off? If you don't even have this bit of shame, then what kind of official do you have?"
Zhao Bian was about to speak a lesson when Su You raised his hand and said, "Yu Nu is enjoying herself in Bianjing. Wei'er and Mu Ke are outside, do you want to meet her?"
Zhao Pian waved Shi Wei in, took the white ape and caressed it lovingly: "I will copy Liu Hedong's "Hate the King and the Sun" again tonight. He is a fifth-rank official in the imperial court, and he is not as calm as a wooden guest."
The two talked for a long time, exchanging views on many political affairs in the DPRK and Shuzhong, Shaanxi, and Erlin. Finally, Zhao Pian took out a set of books: "I have always been a casual person, and now I only have one piano and one crane."
I can’t give it to you anymore. This set of "Ancient and Modern Collections of Chengdu" is now complete, so I’ll give it to you as a wedding gift."
The old man was so unreasonable, this was not a gift, this was obviously a big deal, and he wanted Su You to help him publish.
When I opened it, I saw that it was still Yong, and Shu began to record the year of Shu. There were no silkworms, fish, or birds to enlighten the kings!
What a stubborn old man!
Zhao Pian thought he was really giving the gift, and asked shamelessly: "How have the problems in "Shangshu Qiwen" been solved?"
Su You said: "I left those questions to Sima Dajian, Ouyang Xueshi and Jie Fu Gong. They are now quarreling. Jie Fu admitted that some of the articles in "Guwen Shangshu" may have been cut and added by later generations.
Later forgery.”
Zhao Pian was a little worried: "If this happens, the imperial examination will be in trouble."
Su You smiled and said: "The imperial examination tests literary talents and principles. Even if "Guwen Shangshu" is added, modified and edited by later generations, it is still in compliance with the righteousness of our Chinese civilization. I don't think it's okay."
Zhao Pian was obviously older. In one year, he had to transport materials to meet the construction needs of Weizhou in the first half of the year, and military supplies to meet the needs of the war in the second half of the year. He also had to organize several armies and civilians to cross the border from south to north.
In Sichuan, you still have to take care of daily affairs. Just looking at the changes in people, you can tell that it is quite hard.
Su You was naughty, but he was actually very moved in his heart: "Old man, it's you who worked hard."
Zhao Pian was delighted: "Don't expect me to accept your favor. I am following the order of the imperial court to transport the northwest. Don't tell me, this war will greatly stimulate the economy of Shuzhong. You once said that the war will promote the economy.
I thought the function was ridiculous, but now I understand it."
Su You nodded: "Actually, as long as the war is not lost, there will be certain war dividends. In the battle of Weizhou, from Hengshan to Qingtang, thousands of miles of land were gained, and nearly a hundred tribes were gained, which deepened the relationship with the Zu family and the tribe.
, allowing the imperial court to extend its tentacles to Qingtang."
"After the ancient Weicheng was repaired, the weak defensive situation changed fundamentally. Shaanxi can be relieved."
Zhao Pian said: "Now it seems that after twenty years of conscription, the imperial court owes the people the wealth they have accumulated."
Su You said: "Yes, fighting is actually about consumption. That is where this consumption comes from, where it goes, and what processes go through in the middle. It is worth studying."
"If war is regarded as part of economic behavior, then such economic behavior must become a closed loop."
"In this Weizhou war, we actually made a profit. We negotiated deals with the vassals before and collected 600,000 guan for military expenses. In the end, the captured camels and horses were no less than 1 million guan, and there were 20,000 free
prisoners of war, and more than 100,000 familiar Tibetan people inside.”
Zhao Pian put his hands together: "Speaking of it, this is the most profitable business, but the risk is too high..."
Su You said: "So, in the past, the imperial court was gambling. Gambling and doing business are two different things. I always thought of winning or losing, but in the end, I was always being plotted by others."
Zhao Pian asked: "Then did you write a statement and send it up?"
Su You shook his head: "I wrote private letters to Mr. Han, Mr. Zeng, and Mr. Fu, explaining the reasoning behind this. If this thing is made into a document, it will definitely cause an uproar in the court. It is better to be quiet than to move.
Bar."
Zhao Pian touched his forehead: "I'm afraid the rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building..."
"History of the Song Dynasty": In the summer of the second year of Zhiping, in April, during the Wuxu period, the ceremonial officials and the superiors of the waiting system were ordered to honor the ceremony of King Pu'an Yi to hear the ceremony, and the prime minister Han Qi and others submitted the memorial in May of the first year.
…
The next day, Su You bid farewell to the old man, and together with Shi Wei, went to Yuju Temple to pay a visit to Yuan Degong and the Little Heavenly Master.
Duke Yuan De was already a hundred years old, and he was still in good spirits. He was very happy to see Su You and Shi Wei.
The hundred-year-old man was still so aggressive and aggressive. He pulled Shi Wei and asked her to tell her how to kill people.
Su You had no choice but to find another place to have a detailed discussion with the Heavenly Master.
Suyou asked Yu Juguan to study rubber for ten years, but still made little progress.
But what made Su You dumbfounded was that the rubber was not taken out, but the plastic was taken out first, and there were two types.
The first one is extracted from Eucommia ulmoides. In fact, this thing can be said to be rubber, but it is in the state of plastic at room temperature. It needs to be exposed to high temperature of steam to have the properties of rubber.
This is already a great progress. High-power steam engines are impossible, but small steam engines for irrigation and textiles are not impossible to try.
The second type was produced in the process of studying nitroglycerin. Xiaotianshi tried various nitrocellulose, but the cotton from Da Song was not up to standard, and what he produced was far inferior to explosives.
It was not possible to make explosives, but it was still possible to use perfume as a pyrophoric agent. As a result, when the wise people chose camphor as a spice, celluloid was born.
Su You couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is a good thing!"
The little heavenly master said: "Why is it such a good thing? Can it be used as a stethoscope?"
Su You shook his head: "It can't be done, but it can make a lot of money from rich people. Give me the formula, and I'll take it to Meishan to commercialize it, and I'll earn thirty-seven cents."
The Little Heavenly Master waved his hand: "No, not a penny. Yujuguan will no longer develop explosives in the future. That thing is really harmful to Tianhe."
Su You couldn't help but sigh: "The Song Dynasty is weak, and we can't kill the Yi people with just a knife, unless we choose their way of life. Forget it, let's leave this matter to Zhou An, Yu Ju Guan, just
Develop others.”
The little heavenly master smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, dear brother."
Su You also laughed: "You and I, brothers, are just talking about this. Speaking of which, it's my turn to thank you. By the way, the research on rubber cannot stop. Where is that Daoist Zhang?"
The little Heavenly Master said: "I'm crazy. I'm experimenting every day. By the way, I have an idea. I don't know if you think it's reliable, dear brother."
Su You asked: "How to say?"
The little Heavenly Master's eyes became profound: "Mingrun, tell me, is it possible that the stars, sun and moon in the sky are all spheres?"
Su You was frightened: "How to say?"
The Little Heavenly Master said: "Through the telescope, we have studied the moon thoroughly. It is not a disk, but a sphere. Its waxing and waning is actually...actually a shadow causing trouble."
Su You nodded: "It makes sense."
The Little Heavenly Master grabbed Su You and said, "Then tell me, where did this shadow come from? Also, the black spots on Jupiter move in a regular pattern, and the size of Venus also follows a regular pattern. These are all circles.
, so I estimate that all celestial bodies are spherical."
Su You's head is a little dizzy. You no longer want to be a Nobel Prize winner. Do you want to be Galileo instead?
"This... you can study this yourself..."
After sorting out his thoughts, Su You thought it would be better to secretly give the little Celestial Master some private goods: "Brother Xian, have you ever encountered any difficulties in the movement of the sun and the moon and the calculation of profit and loss?"
The Little Heavenly Master nodded: "It's more complicated, but it's not too complicated."
Su You said: "I came up with a set of calculators, which I think are quite useful."
After speaking, he found a pen and paper and drew a few circles: "Brother Xian, look, this largest circle represents a year. It can be divided into 365 scales, and each degree represents a day.
"
"There is a point on this big circle, and this point can move around this big circle, and then there is a small circle outside this point, and the small circle represents thirty scales, which represents the month."
