Chapter 1134 Self-knowledge
After Wei Ao finished talking about the experiment plan, Liu Xie didn't say anything about the plan itself, but instead suggested that Wei Ao take good personal protection.
Chemical experiments are different from physical experiments. No one knows what new things will be produced and whether they will be poisonous, but the lethality of gunpowder is obvious.If he dies before he leaves, it would be a great loss to blow up this genius chemist who is comparable to Lavoisier.
Therefore, a set of safety regulations is recommended to ensure the safety of experimental personnel without delay.
Liu Xie also suggested that the accuracy of measurement should be strengthened.
If you want to discover the deep-seated principles, you must keep improving the experiment, and it is impossible to generalize it.
Although Wei Ao and the others didn't understand the intention of Liu Xie's suggestions, they were moved by the emperor's concern for their personal safety and agreed to them one by one.
After talking for a long time, Liu Xie asked Yu Fan a few more words before getting up to leave.
Yuan Shu stood outside the lecture hall for a long time, looking at the inconspicuous plaque and the people coming and going, feeling a little depressed.
The martial arts instructors wouldn't let him in, even if he gave his name.
Not only did they not let him in, but they also drove him away, and kept watching him vigilantly to prevent him from suddenly violently breaking into the lecture hall.Yuan Shu didn't have such intentions at first, but he was really interested after being messed up by them like this.
Just looking at the spears in the hands of the two guards, he gave up.
Although it is said that the government belongs to the Sangong, the emperor has always held on to the military power, and the martial arts hall is more like an eyeball, which cannot be provoked by anyone.If there is a disturbance here, there is no guarantee that the emperor will not be furious and abolish him directly.
Seeing the Son of Heaven coming out from inside, Yuan Shu quickly cheered up and stepped forward to salute.
Liu Xie glanced at Yuan Shu, didn't say much, motioned him to follow, and continued to discuss issues with Zhen Mi beside him.
Zhen Mi is the noble person in the harem who is most interested in technology, and she has always had a wish to build a bridge across the Yellow River and win the reward from the Marquis.
This bounty has been announced for several years and has attracted the attention of many people, but no one has succeeded yet.
It wasn't until recently that the steelmaking process was improved, and the performance of the steel was improved, that Zhen Mi found a new way of thinking.She intends to use steel instead of wood and build a steel bridge.
Liu Xie is very supportive of this plan, and often takes her in and out of the martial arts lecture hall, and attends relevant conferences related to mechanics.
As the pioneering work of modern physics, the two new sciences mentioned in Galileo's "Dialogue on Two New Sciences" refer to the statics represented by new materials and the dynamics represented by the flight of cannonballs.The former is exactly what Zhen Mi needs now.
It's a pity that Zhen Mi is shrewd but not smart, and she has nothing outstanding in learning.It is impossible for her to study by herself, and she can only pin her hopes on others.
After returning to the imperial camp, Zhen Mi left with her harvest, and then Liu Xie formally summoned Yuan Shu.
The ones serving the tea and pouring the water are the newly-arrived nobles of the Qiao family.
After Yuan Shu saluted respectfully, he looked up and was stunned.He knew that Qiao Rui's twin daughters were good-looking, but he didn't know they were so good-looking.I haven't seen them for a few years, but they have grown from budding young girls into real national beauty, which makes people's eyes light up and they suddenly lose their minds.
For Yuan Shu's gaffe, Daqiao was better, but Xiaoqiao was a little displeased, snorted, and turned away.
Yuan Shu was a little embarrassed, blushing with embarrassment.
"Sometimes I can't help but doubt whether your three children are your blood." Liu Xie saw it in his eyes and said half-jokingly: "This temperament is not like it at all."
"They are all like their mothers." Yuan Shu said along the way: "But they also inherited some of the minister's bad habits. The dog Ziyao inherited the minister's laziness, and the little girl Heng inherited the minister's stupidity. Only the eldest daughter's right is slightly better."
"You're self-aware."
"The minister is nearly half a hundred years old, and he has passed the age of no doubts. He has nothing but self-knowledge." Yuan Shu said, offering the scroll of Luoyang with both hands. "Your Majesty never gave up, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. After two years of hard work, today I am successful, and I am here to report to Your Majesty."
Daqiao took the picture scroll, turned around and handed it to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie unfolded it, spread it out on the table, and watched it carefully.
It has to be said that this scroll of Luoyang is still beautifully drawn, even slightly better than the first scroll presided over by Liu Biao.
It can be seen from this that Liu Biao has not played any positive role and has always been an obstacle.
"Have you seen Yuan Tan?"
"See you." Yuan Shu said honestly, "I heard Song Zhong mention the sacrificial wine in the county school, so I rushed to see him."
Liu Xie didn't say anything more, and covered the scroll. "The scroll painting of Luoyang is finished, what's your plan?"
Yuan Shu froze for a moment, then looked at Liu Xie blankly.
Liu Xie asked again: "Are you in politics, in the army, or in business?"
Yuan Shu was stunned, and then said: "I am stupid, I only obey your Majesty's orders."
Liu Xie smiled silently, this fierce ghost is really cute.
But after a while, I really couldn't find a suitable position for him.He is good at destroying, not good at building.Now that the world is peaceful, it seems that he can only be idle.
"You rest in Wancheng for a few days first, and make arrangements after I discuss with San Gong."
"Wei." Yuan Shu bowed and bowed again before retreating.
"This man is old, and he is still a dandy." Xiaoqiao pouted and muttered.
The bridge stopped in time. "Sister, speak carefully."
Liu Xie smiled without saying a word.
He could clearly see Yuan Shu's rudeness.But he didn't think Yuan Shu could have any ideas.Yuan Shu looks like a dandy, but in fact he knows the importance. It is his nature to watch the dishes, and it is his way of survival to join if he can't beat them.
Even his frankness may be intentional, just to make himself look like a city.
But he will not take it lightly, nor will he give Yuan Shu a chance to retaliate.
Asking the Qiao sisters to come out to serve tea and water is to tell Yuan Shu that although I drove your daughter Yuan Heng away, I didn't intend to blame you.Don't think too much, do stupid things, or even take risks.
"Go to the printing workshop tomorrow, and give this picture scroll to Mrs. Tang, and ask her to arrange printing as soon as possible."
"Wei." Daqiao agreed, and put away the scroll.
"Your Majesty, Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days. Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?" Xiaoqiao asked, "This picture scroll is not a mansion newspaper, it is to be engraved. Those engraving masters may have already been on vacation, even if tomorrow Sending it over will have to wait until the next year.”
Liu Xie touched his forehead and laughed. "I've been too busy recently, and I forgot all about the New Year. You reminded me well, don't give it away for now, just keep it in my hand, and look at it for two more days."
Xiaoqiao was proud of being praised, and said again: "That's right, Mrs. Tang will come to see you at the meeting anyway, so it won't be too late to give it to her, there is no need to send it off specially."
Liu Xie didn't say a word, but his face was a little sad.
It has been a long time since Mrs. Tang took the initiative to invite her to see her.Although she was supposed to come to the New Year Ceremony, according to etiquette, what she had to meet was the empress, not the emperor.
He had a feeling that Mrs. Tang was not busy, but avoided him on purpose.
But why?He couldn't figure it out.
Chapter 1135
Xiaoqiao asked again: "Your Majesty, do you know that Mrs. Tang is going to hold a book recommendation meeting?"
"Book recommendation meeting?"
"That's right, it is to gather some scholars to have a banquet, and then pick out the ten best articles from the books and articles published this year, and then publish the results in the Mansion Newspaper. The concubine heard that there are many famous people going to participate, it must be very lively."
Liu Xie turned his head and looked at Xiaoqiao who couldn't help himself. "You want to go?"
"The concubine wants to go with His Majesty."
"Why did you follow me?" Liu Xie laughed dumbly. "Give you two days off, just go by yourself."
"The concubine is no more knowledgeable than Cai Yan and Yuan Heng. Their knowledge is too poor. They are reluctant to serve His Majesty, and they are not so good at evaluating articles. At that time, they will not be able to argue. They can only follow what others say. What's the point?"
Liu Xie thought for a while, then said, "When?"
"It's not yet decided. If His Majesty is interested, the concubine can go and inquire."
"Okay, let me know if you find out." Liu Xie stood up and said again: "Also, keep quiet for now, in case some people have impure goals, not for academics, but to get close to me before going to the party."
"Wei." Xiaoqiao happily agreed.
Liu Xie was a little inexplicably irritable, and got up and left the hall.
Mrs. Tang held such a big party for recommending books, and he didn't even receive any news, which is really unreasonable.It stands to reason that even if it is not suitable for him to come in person, Mrs. Tang should ask for instructions in advance.
After all, Mrs. Tang is presiding over this bookstore in name, but in fact it is the content of the New Deal arranged by him alone.
Could it be because Cai Yan was demoted that she misunderstood?
-
When they came to the backyard, before entering the door, they heard the excited voices of Zhen Mi and Lu Xiaohuan.
Liu Xie followed the sound and saw that Zhen Mi and Lu Xiaohuan were talking enthusiastically about the sketches of the bridge, and they didn't even notice when he entered the door.The two children were thrown aside and forgot to take care of them.One stood by the cradle, stood on tiptoe, and looked at his younger brother lying in the cradle. The two looked at each other. They didn't know why they were so happy, and their mouths were drooling with laughter.
"What are you talking about, so happy?" Liu Xie walked over, picked up the child standing on the ground, and touched his little feet with his hand.Although there are heating ducts under the floor, the floor was a bit cold.
"Your Majesty, can sister Zhen's bridge be built?" Lu Xiaohuan walked over, excited beyond words.
"Whether it can cause it or not has anything to do with you?" Liu Xie asked inexplicably, "She built the bridge in order to become a marquis, and you also want to rely on this to make her a marquis?"
"Of course not, but if such a big bridge can be built, it will be more convenient to build bridges on the battlefield in the future." Lu Xiaohuan said with a smile: "I heard that although the Western Regions are not as rich as the Central Plains, there are still many big rivers, which will be indispensable in the future It is necessary to build a bridge. It is so difficult to build a bridge, those barbarians will definitely not be able to do it, and they can only be transported by boat."
Liu Xie blinked, feeling that what Lu Xiaohuan said made some sense.
Compared with building a bridge over the Yellow River, it is more meaningful to quickly build a temporary bridge on the battlefield for the Western Expedition.
In fact, Jiangwutang has been researching how to quickly build temporary bridges, but it is not as radical as Zhen Mi, who wants to use expensive steel to build bridges, and is still at the stage of mainly using wood.
Sure enough, people's vision has blind spots, and they only see the part that they care about the most.
"Although bridges are needed in Hexi and Shangjun, they don't have many household registrations. Even if this steel bridge can be erected, there are not many people walking, and I don't know when the cost will be recovered. Building bridges on the battlefield is different. Speed, the chance to cause a surprise attack, and the cost can be recovered in one battle..."
Lu Xiaohuan counted the benefits of quickly building bridges on the battlefield one by one with his fingers. Even Zhen Mi was attracted, temporarily put aside his idea of building a bridge on the Yellow River, and discussed with Lu Xiaohuan.
Liu Xie finally poured cold water on them.
No matter where the bridge is built, whether it is a large bridge across the Yellow River or an ordinary small bridge, it is necessary to have a certain understanding of the structural mechanics of bridge construction in order to minimize the cost.In a sense, this is especially true for the temporary bridges required on the battlefield. Once the design is unreasonable, either it cannot meet the requirements, or it is too heavy and loses convenience.
With the current transportation capacity, it is impossible to run around with a heavy bridge.Even if it could, it would not be able to achieve the suddenness of the Raiders.
Therefore, if you want to build a good bridge, you must first settle down and do research.
When research was mentioned, Zhen Mi and Lu Xiaohuan frowned.
Lu Xiaohuan is a martial artist, insulated from knowledge.Back then Lu Bu and his wife forced her to study and tried everything, but she was still semi-literate. On the contrary, Lu Bu made a lot of progress and could read several Confucian classics eloquently.
Zhen Mi was a little better, but she was also powerless, she really didn't have that IQ.
"Your Majesty, my concubine... can I make a suggestion?"
"tell me the story."
"Recently, there are too many things to be studied in the martial arts hall. The craftsmen are all busy, and there are very few people who can concentrate on building bridges. It is so difficult to build bridges. I am afraid that it is difficult to see success with only craftsmen. There must also be a large number of talents who are proficient in arithmetic. The concubine wondered if it is possible to recruit some people to specialize in this technology. There are so many rivers in the world, if a good bridge can be built, it will be of great use. Bridges can be built on rivers, and bridges can be built on rivers. Bridges can also be built, bridges can be built on Huai River and Surabaya River.”
Liu Xie thought about it seriously and found it reasonable.
It may not be the best choice to put all the technical research in the lecture hall. Civilian functions such as bridge building are obviously greater than military functions, which can be separated and organized by civilian forces.In this way, the lecture hall can also concentrate on researching strategic technologies such as gunpowder and steelmaking.
"Why don't you try it first?" Liu Xie suggested.
Zhen Mi was right in her arms, and then asked another question, where did the money come from?
The salaries of so many people, the materials for trial production, especially high-quality steel are very expensive, and without the consent of the emperor, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them.
After discussing with Zhen Mi, Liu Xie decided to walk on two legs: the imperial court allocates part of the money, and then raises part of the money from the people, and the public-private joint venture.After success, the technology will be owned by the imperial court, and cooperative non-governmental organizations can get priority authorization, and thus get the supply of high-quality steel.
Situ Mansion is in charge of the court part, and Zhen Mi is in charge of the private part.
There are many wealthy businessmen in Zhongshan, Wuji Zhen is just one of them.If they are not short of money, they are short of good projects.As long as there are good projects, it is not difficult to raise hundreds of millions of dollars.
Zhen Mi is so enthusiastic about building bridges, besides wanting to be a marquis, she also has considerations in this regard.
Now that Liu Xie gave her this opportunity, she naturally had to seize it tightly.
Once the direction is set, the relevant details will be handled easily, and Situ Mansion will naturally arrange for people to connect with them at that time.
A similar approach has already been tried in Jizhou.Zhuge Liang is in charge of Handan, and Huang Yueying is in charge of related road renovations. The effect of the public-private partnership is very good.Situ's Mansion also held a special seminar for this purpose, intending to promote this experience to the whole country, so as to use the financial resources and talents of the people to accelerate the speed of development.
Everything is going to happen, it's just missing a chance.
Chapter 1136
Liu Xie and Zhen Mi were chatting lively, but Lu Xiaohuan was a little puzzled, and asked Zhen Mi, "Do you want to stay in the Central Plains, or go to the Western Regions with us? It's too fast to change your mind once in a while."
Zhen Mi rested her chin, feeling worried. "I don't know either. I want to go to the Western Regions, but I can't bear my family."
"Shouldn't we just go together?"
Zhen Mi smiled wryly and did not answer.
Liu Xie patted Lu Xiaohuan and changed the subject.
