The Master of the Kingdom - Chapter 141
When Su Yi was busy, coolies came, no, Yi Ran came.
As soon as Yi Ran came, Su Yi took Yi Ran to study mathematics.
Yi Ran looked dazed.
Although Yi Ran knew that Su Yi was compiling the book before he came, he also thought that although the emperor gave him a task, he would definitely help Su Yi to coordinate the compilation of the book. Yi Ran is familiar with this coordination and overall work. It’s just that he didn’t expect that the first thing he did was not to do things, but to go to school.
Yi Ran’s strength is strong, and he can hunt tigers at a young age with the help of guards. He is also quite capable of doing things, but he is unkind, which makes some ministers in the DPRK hate it. However, Yi Ran’s mathematical ability is at odds with Mu Yan’s, and he can only apply formulas directly, and he won’t know how to turn a corner.
Su Yi was very heartbroken.
The only thing that made him gratified was the letter to the prince. The prince was very sensitive to mathematics and had a strong learning ability. Su Yi thought, he deserves to be his younger brother, let him go!
After Yi Ran was forced to study for a while by Su Yi, he found an excuse to go to the boat and stay.
That excuse is naturally the emperor’s will.
Although Yi Ran wanted to stay with Su Yi very much, the charm of mathematics was so powerful that he ran away in a hurry.
Mu Yan was also busy with official duties and ended Su Yi’s math class.
Su Yi pouted. Forget it, anyhow they memorized the formulas and sample questions, and he didn’t ask for the others. Let’s talk about math problems with his prince brother.
After Yi Ran arrived on the boat, he fell in love with the sea, and from then on, his ambition was toward the sea… that was impossible. He is seasick.
Yi Ran had been on a boat in the river before and did not find seasickness. Who knows that when you get to the sea, you will be dizzy.
Mu Yan pretended to regret: “It seems that your Royal Highness is not suitable for the sea, or please play with Your Majesty. Your Royal Highness will return to Beijing first?”
Yi Ran viciously poured a bowl of bitter medicine, wiped his mouth, and said, “This bit of bitterness can’t be eaten, how can I explain to my father. Please also ask Master Mu to hide it for me for some time, so that I will be familiar with it again. ”
Mu Yan sighed: “Why does your Highness bother? The sea is dangerous, and it is impossible for Your Highness to go out to sea in person.”
Yi Ran said: “That’s not impossible. You can’t go far away, but you can still go closer. In the words of the national teacher, the world is big, and I also want to see those places that have not been touched. ”
Mu Yan knew that he couldn’t persuade him to leave, and regretted to leave.
Su Yi had a thin face, and Yi Ran ate and lived with Su Yi very rudely. Although he could still sleep with Su Yi at night, when Yi Ran was in the day, Su Yi refused to show how close he was.
He had always hoped that Yi Ran would get out of his life quickly. Who knew that when Yi Ran was driven away by mathematics, he also fled.
Now Su Yi gave up and continued to teach him two maths, Mu Yan would take time to be lazy again in the daytime, but Yi Ran stayed back again.
This brother-in-law is really annoying.
Su Yi agrees that Yi Ran wants to overcome her seasickness. Su Yi has always wanted people in China to pay more attention to the sea. If a prince is willing to go out to sea in person and experience the charm of the sea, it will definitely help China pay more attention to the sea.
The compilation of the math book has been on the right track, and the road has to be taken step by step. Now that the first book is on the right track, Su Yi does not need to keep staring at it, so he also goes on board with Yi Ran to help Yi Ran train.
Su Yi once followed a sea-going ship on an expedition to Goguryeo, so naturally he was not afraid to take a sea-going ship. Su Yi thought about some modern treatments for seasickness, and finally decided to let Yi Ran take the helm himself.
Just like a person with motion sickness driving a car and not getting fainted, maybe Yi Ran will focus on driving the boat, so he won’t get seasick?
Unexpectedly, this method really works. Yi Ran still fainted when he was in a boat, but he really didn’t faint when he took the helm.
It seems that diversion is a very useful treatment.
After Yi Ran learned to sail, he liked the feeling of sailing on the sea.
Since Yi Ran has dared to hunt tigers since he was young, he knows that Yi Ran is very courageous and likes to take risks. This may have something to do with his childhood. After his mother committed suicide, Yi Ran felt very distressed and kept numbing herself with irritating things. But Yi Ran is a good boy. He can’t do anything to toss others-not counting the beating of the dude and the former veteran who persuaded him to **** the position of the prince, he can only toss himself.
Taking risks can make him forget his troubles.
Although this is no longer needed, the adventurous factor has penetrated into his heart.
What else is more exciting when sailing in the waves in a big boat? Probably only to fly a plane.
When facing nature, human beings are so small. Looking at the huge waves overwhelming the sky, the big ship is like leaves floating on the water in the huge waves, as if it would be overturned if you were not careful.
Yi Ran was addicted to sailing. At first he only practiced sailing skills offshore, and then he drove farther and farther until he was stopped by Su Yi.
Yi Ran pondered. He told Mu Yan before that he was going to sea, but he just wanted to stay here and work against Mu Yan. But now he really wants to go to sea.
If it is far away, the father would definitely disagree. But I heard that there are many islands in the south, and those islands can also grow food, as well as spices and precious woods. Maybe he can go to these small islands.
If there is a political power on the island, they would be willing to return to the behemoth Shun Yuchao. If there is no political power on the island, then you can directly emigrate or build a supply base.
Su Yi proposed the supply base. When the first huge fleet of Mu’s family returns with full load, maritime trade will definitely rise. At that time, there will always be a supply base for the fleet to be built along the route, and soldiers must be equipped to go out to sea at any time to **** the fleet away.
Otherwise, what should I do if I encounter a pirate?
If maritime trade really arises, so-called supply bases must be built on the southern islands. While escorting the caravan, the army might be able to collect some protection fees.
Although the sea is a bit harder, it makes a lot of money. Moreover, the troops stationed on the supply base will rotate at intervals, and they will not come back if they are not placed there. They would definitely be willing to blow the sea breeze for a period of time and make more money.
Yi Ran felt that he could be the vanguard.
Originally, Yi Ran first started to promote new crops. Now that the new crops have been harvested several times, and the resistance has been removed, there is no need for a prince to stare at all times, so Yi Ran has already handed the matter over to the Minister of Korea.
Before Yi Ran had another important task, it was to collect evidence that the feudal lords and the aristocratic family were linked to the enemy’s country. Now those feudal lords and aristocratic families have been punishable.
The prince is now in charge of the promotion of culture and education. The emperor has been thinking about what to do for Yi Ran and being responsible for opening maritime trade is one of the ideas.
Yi Ran thinks this suits him well.
So Yi Ran gave the emperor a book, that is, he wanted to take the fleet south to explore where the supply base could be built. However, the emperor said that he would wait for the first fleet to return.
Now the south is still a barbarian land, and people in the north are not suitable for the southern weather. They think that the miasma in the south is heavy and easy to get sick. In fact, the humidity is too heavy and there are many mosquitoes.
The emperor can’t worry about letting his son go to such a place.
But if maritime trade develops, the South may develop rapidly.
After Su Yi heard this, he remembered the plight of Southern Development at this time.
In the case of roads, cement can be solved. Explosives can solve the problem. Miasma, wait, maybe he can get some medicine? Like penicillin?
Su Yi once cultivated and extracted penicillin in her own laboratory. This is actually not a difficult experiment, it just requires a microscope.
Nowadays, the glass manufacturing process has broken through. Colorless and transparent glass can be made. Although the output is not high, the colorless and transparent glass must be used by Suyi first.
Su Yi had already used it to make binoculars, and the binoculars had also been sent to various frontiers. Although they could not become popular equipment in the army for the time being, the master had one set in hand.
When Wang Boyuan returned to northern Xinjiang, Su Yi also specially provided his friendship with a few telescopes.
The musket, Su Yi has already provided it to the emperor. The emperor is making people secretly make weapons. In the future, these weapons will definitely appear on the frontier.
Before that, the folks built mountains and roads, and they might use it first.
Su Yi began to make a simple microscope. Although he used to make simple binoculars by hand, all the parts and components at that time can be purchased, and the drawings can be downloaded from the Internet.
Now it is still very difficult for Su Yi to make a microscope through memory.
While Su Yi was tossing about the microscope, he was also making a simple astronomical telescope.
He still remembered his promise to Mu Yan to show Mu Yan the real moon.
Because the telescope has been successful, the astronomical telescope is faster than the microscope. Of course, this is related to Su Yi once made many simple astronomical telescopes for his nephews and nieces to play with, but made the microscope once and then bought a high-end electron microscope.
He is more familiar with this.
When the astronomical telescope was completed, Su Yi kept his promise and took Mu Yan to see the moon on a full moon night.
As a result, that night, the yard was full of people queuing to watch the moon.
Mu Yan felt a bit bitter in her heart, how about the two who agreed?
“They are all waiting for the astronomical telescope to be completed.” Su Yi said that he was also helpless. “Can’t refuse, right?”
Su Yi was soft-hearted, and couldn’t bear the small eyes of others expecting and pleading. Although he had planned to see the moon with Mu Yan first, and then show them to these people, everyone wanted to be the first to see such a big event as the moon.
If other people knew that Su Yi and Mu Yan wanted to be romantic, they might not have followed. But obviously they didn’t know, they thought Mu Yan and Su Yi were just pure friends.
In the end, Mu Yan had to adjust his mentality. Anyway, I knew that Su Yi first made the astronomical telescope in order to fulfill his promise with him, so that’s it.
Su Yi had looked at the moon countless times, and the potholes on the moon were what he was already familiar with and could no longer be familiar with. But for these ancients, this is really a miracle.
When they saw the moon, no fairy palace, no Chang’e, no laurel, they were very unhappy. Especially those who are quite romantic.
Su Yi had to talk nonsense, even if there was an immortal world, it would not be the same interface as the human world. Even if a mortal can go to the sky, he can’t find the Heavenly Palace and the Yin Cao Difu. Otherwise, although people can’t go to heaven now, it’s okay to dig pits. Do they think that if the pit is dug deep enough, they will be able to dig into the Yin Cao Netherworld?
When everyone heard it, they felt polite. Even if there are fairy palaces and fairies on the moon, they should not be in the same world as them. So the so-called “moon” is just a human imagination. In fact, the immortal world and the human world shouldn’t be the same world, and no matter how human beings think of a solution, they can’t go there.
Perhaps Su Tianshi was able to go before, but now for the Li people, he can’t go anymore.
“Can we go there after that?” If it wasn’t for the image, Yi Ran really wanted to hold the binoculars and not let go.
The sight from the telescope was just that, but he was willing to keep watching.
The starry sky is so beautiful.
“When we go up here, it is the atmosphere. That is, the clouds you see. Going up, thanks to the gravity of the earth, it is a vacuum. A vacuum has no air. Without air, you can’t breathe.” Su Yi briefly introduced the planets and The concept of the universe makes these people dizzy.
However, Zhang Heng has already created an armillary sphere, and some scholars also know that the Tianyuan area is just a legend, and Zhang Heng’s armillary sphere is accepted by many scholars. Now they looked at the moon through an astronomical telescope, and they agreed with the idea that the earth is a ball.
Besides, this is what Su Tianshi said.
“Then we can’t go?” Yi Ran said regretfully.
Su Yi said: “Of course I can go, but I can’t go now. After thousands of years, people can make machines that can fly in the sky. If the machines are fast enough, they can break through the gravity of the earth and enter space. If it is fuel Enough, you can go to the moon. At that time, the spacecraft will be equipped with equipment that can produce oxygen…well, air. People wearing thick protective clothing can set foot on the land of the moon.”
“Perhaps after a few thousand years, people’s science and technology will be developed to solve the lack of air on the moon, and it is possible for people to move to the moon.” Su Yi said, “people must have dreams. Now our dream is For the entire earth, we must use our footprints to measure every inch of the earth’s land, our ships, and every inch of the ocean. After we have completed our journey to the sea, the next step is the sky, the stars. Human dreams are endless. of.”
When everyone heard Su Yi’s words, they felt very excited.
They never doubted Su Yi’s words. Since Su Yi said that after thousands of years, humans can step on the land of the moon, it is certainly possible.
Although they are envious, as Su Yi said, the land they are on has not been measured clearly, and they can’t be far away.
“If the earth is a spherical shape, then if we move in one direction, will we return to the origin?” Mu Yan asked.
Su Yi said: “I once said, of course. It is too difficult to walk on this land, and you can sail through the sea. But because of the long distance, it is very dangerous. If you want to complete the voyage around the world, the people on the ship must do a life of nine deaths. Prepare.”
Although he may prepare as much as possible and even draw a rough map of the world, no one knows what dangers he will encounter on the sea.
If his western navigator of the world hadn’t done such a dangerous thing if he didn’t want to find a “golden place all over the east” and want to open a new route.
Few people have this courage just for scientific research. It must be supported by sufficient interests.
Perhaps the New Continent of America is a good support for interests, but with their position, there is no need to sail the entire journey, as long as it goes all the way east. If you set sail in the summer and sail along the land bridge, it might not be too dangerous.
After Su Yi explained, everyone sighed. They also knew that in order to prove that the earth is spherical, it is indeed impossible to spend such a huge amount of money. Every human life is precious.
“But New World… I really want to go…” Yi Ran sighed.
“It’s still a land of no owner.” Su Yi said, “There is no country there, and you can plot a territory when you go.”
Yi Ran felt even more greedy.
“If this is the case, when the fleet comes back, maybe I can tell your Majesty to send the fleet to the east to find it.” Mu Yan said, “The vast and fertile land…”
Su Yi said: “There are still a lot of minerals on it. Even if you don’t send people to cultivate, somehow dig back the mine on the land.”
Several people nodded together, and even the Mo family agreed.
Since Su Yi has said that it is a land of no owner, there will be no war.
In fact, there are aboriginal people on the American continent, but according to China’s foreign policy, as long as they don’t attack the people they send on land, China will not go to war with them. The Americas are so big that they can enclose land where no one is planting. As for minerals, if there is no government in that place, there is no demand for minerals.
Moreover, unless the Chinese people relocate to settle down, unless they are urgent, it is very unlikely that people will be allowed to immigrate to the American continent on a large scale to reclaim land and conflict with the local natives.
After all, not every ethnic group treats people in different places as people like those “adventurers” in the West.
However, if foreigners land on the American continent, even if they do not actively conflict with the local people, it may be a disaster for the local people.
Because of the virus carried by the landers, there are no antibodies on the local indigenous people.
And this is the same danger for new arrivals.
It can only be said that the position is different. The Americas cannot remain isolated from the world forever.
Su Yi believes that being discovered by Hua Guo is definitely better than his world. At least the Chinese cannot do the brutality of enacting genocide laws specifically to exchange money for the scalp of the indigenous people.
King Hua wanted to pay attention to word of mouth, if he did something too cruel, the ministers of the DPRK and China would hit the pole. Some pedantic ministers even killed many people in wars and would punish the soldiers, let alone slaughter civilians.
Su Yi ignited the fire to explore the world in the hearts of everyone. Even if the fire is not ignited now, but word of mouth continues, there will always be people interested in accomplishing the unfinished feat of the predecessors.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The emperor and prince also knew about the fact that Su Yi made an astronomical telescope.
The emperor and prince jumped anxiously, and they wanted to see the moon too. On that day, the telescope was expensive, so if someone brought it back, they were worried that it might break. And it’s just boring to see, and Su Yi needs to explain it.
I happened to meet the emperor on his birthday. The emperor has not celebrated his birthday for several years. This year, the weather has been smooth, the frontiers are fine, and the court is calm. The emperor is finally in the mood to celebrate his birthday.
So taking this opportunity, the emperor summoned Su Yi to come back and bring his astronomical telescope back.
As a magistrate, Mu Yan was busy during this time and he could not return to Beijing together. Although Mu Yan was reluctant, he knew Su Yi’s true identity. The emperor must be looking forward to Su Yi returning to Beijing to wish him his birthday, as did Su Yi himself.
Besides, the palace was so curious about the astronomical telescope, the emperor had already sent a bit of an urgent decree to urge Su Yi to return to Beijing soon.
So Su Yi took his astronomical telescope and set off first.
Yi Ran originally wanted to go with Su Yi, but he wanted to collect some birthday gifts. He had to make a detour, so he didn’t go with Su Yi.
But now the Yu Dynasty is very stable, the princes and the disobedient family have died, and Su Yi is returning to Beijing under the banner of the national teacher, and the rest are not worried about Su Yi’s safety.
Mu Yan specially sent a team of cronies to accompany him. If he really meets a bandit who doesn’t have long eyes, he can also protect Su Yi’s safety.
But Su Yi didn’t want to be too ostentatious, so he was still lightly dressed. Along the way, Su Yi kept declining requests from local officials.
It is really annoying to just keep rejecting, or someone keeps coming.
So Su Yi changed the way from land to water as much as possible, and the lodging was also on the boat, so he didn’t get off the boat and tried his best to stop contact with outsiders. This was a little quieter.
When there is nothing to do, Su Yi will stop the fleet and bring one or two entourages to drive a flat boat and fish on the river where the fleet can see.
Although basically nothing can be caught.
Su Yi just felt that he was in a hurry before, and he didn’t take a good look at the scenery. There was no rush to return to Beijing this time (the emperor: I was very anxious!), and the road was safe, so he started to travel, and without deviating from the route, he took a good look at the scenery along the way.
People on the road put Su Yi’s orders first, and Su Yi said they were not in a hurry.
Even if an official arrives, if he leaves early and is not in a hurry, he will go all the way to play.
Su Yi was already very relieved, he basically did not deviate from the route. Only stay for a day or two occasionally.
So slowly, Su Yi and his party are also about to enter the boundary under the jurisdiction of the capital.
When he first entered the boundary of the capital, Su Yi listened to the sidewalk, and there was a mountain temple nearby that was very effective, and Su Zhai was well-known far and wide.
Of course Su Yi would not ask for a visa, but he was a bit greedy.
Su Yi thought, now that he has entered the realm of central Beijing, it doesn’t matter if he deviates slightly from the route. He was about to take a detour and pretend to go to the mountain to eat a delicious vegetarian meal. It’s not an overnight stay, he thought, there should be no problem.
To put it bluntly, he is greedy.
In order not to reveal his identity, Su Yi left some people to wait in the small town below the mountain, and only took a few guards up the mountain. Just eat a meal, but half sunny.
