Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"We will not discuss the economics of the Su family today,"

"Proceed according to the established strategy."

The established strategy was to conduct population and land surveys.

In key state capitals, large migrant families were separated.

The land seized by the former Song Dynasty was distributed to landless peasants.

In the realm of industry and commerce, the imperial court no longer personally engaged in business.

However, it is necessary to control important resources such as minerals, salt, and tea.

Furthermore, this control was generally weaker compared to the old Song dynasty.

To be honest, it is already very close to the governing philosophy of Su Xue.

The future official schools of the Ming Dynasty

It's mostly a hodgepodge of Luoyang Studies, New Studies, and Suzhou Studies.

Forcing a suture will inevitably lead to theoretical flaws.

Even when annotating classics,

This has led to contradictions in different places.

But once Zhao Yuan sets the tone...

The main idea remains unchanged.

The minor details will be corrected and filled in by great scholars.

Zhao Yuan stood up with a smile.

Have the eunuchs bring over a blackboard:

"The Astronomical Institute has astronomical telescopes,"

"Huang Aiqing (Huang Shang) has already seen it."

"Huang Aiqing, what did you see?"

Huang Shang stood up and answered:

"I see the moon as a large sphere,"

"There are also pits on the surface of the ball."

Hundreds of officials were present.

Someone has already seen it quietly.

But the vast majority of people,

This is the first time I've heard of this.

They were all incredulous.

Zhao Yuan drew a star map of the solar system on the blackboard.

He then labeled each planet with its name, saying:

"When I was in the old Song Dynasty,"

"Then he began to study astronomy,"

"These are some minor achievements."

"The astronomical institute's telescopes will be open to the public for the next two months,"

Anyone who is interested can go and see the moon.

"Today's lecture is now concluded."

Hundreds of officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

They watched the emperor leave.

.....

Above Genyue,

A large plot of land has been allocated to the Astronomical Institute.

This includes pavilions and towers that have not yet been demolished.

Ma Hui, the newly appointed dean

He is currently leading a group of astronomers to observe the stars.

There were also two vice deans beside him—Shen Wei and Li Yi.

Shen Wei was Shen Kuo's great-nephew.

His grandfather, Shen Gou, was a very young member of the family.

He was often mistaken for Shen Kuo's cousin.

He was actually Shen Kuo's cousin.

Shen Kuo lived a rather miserable life in his later years.

The second wife was irritable and vicious.

They even drove Shen Kuo's only son out of the house.

Shen Kuo was unable to resist.

Because he was imprisoned by the imperial court.

Moreover, his second father-in-law held a high position.

Therefore, Shen Kuo's lifelong learning,

Including its improved movable type printing,

They were all inherited by his cousins ​​and nephews.

Another vice dean, Li Yi,

He's only twenty-eight years old this year.

He used to be a soldier who knew a few characters.

He and several other soldiers from the local garrison

He was bestowed upon Zhao Yuan by Emperor Huizong of Song to serve as his personal attendant.

He has been studying mathematics with Zhao Yuan for ten years.

Dean Ma Hui also has connections.

His great-great-grandfather was Ma Yizhe (also translated as Mu Yiz or Mu Yiz), who compiled the Yingtian Calendar.

Ma Yize is regarded as an ancestor by many Hui people in later generations.

Born in the Byzantine Empire.

This person came to China in his forties.

Not only did they compile the calendar for the Song Dynasty,

A week system was also introduced.

Revising the twelve constellations, etc.

He was then granted the title of Marquis by Zhao Kuangyin.

He also took charge of the Imperial Observatory.

His eldest son also took charge of the Imperial Observatory.

The second son served as the deputy director of the Imperial Observatory.

The three sons introduced astrology into the Song Dynasty army.

Currently, Ma Hui, Shen Wei, and Li Yi are working...

Therefore, Zhao Yuan proposed the heliocentric theory.

In addition, several other astronomical observation instruments were built.

Furthermore, the star catalog and star charts need to be corrected and updated.

Their astronomical officials

It comes from the Imperial Observatory, the Astronomical Institute, and the Calculation School of the former Song Dynasty.

"Dean, a lot of officials have come down from the mountain!"

"Please invite them up."

Ma Hui felt a headache coming on.

He doesn't want to be disturbed at times like this.

From Zhao Yuan's ascension to the throne until now

For a full fifteen months,

He has been studying mathematics and physics.

And they studied the heliocentric cosmological model.

Now that I have acquired new knowledge,

Just getting ready to make a big splash.

The emperor, however, ordered him to give astronomical explanations to the officials.

After another period of busy work,

Dozens of officials came over carrying lanterns.

Shen Wei recognized the person in front of him and said happily:

"Master Huang (Huang Shang) is also here,"

"It can save a lot of talk."

The Northern Song Dynasty conducted six large-scale observations of the night sky.

The observations were then plotted into a star map.

The latest version of the star map,

This refers to the "Astronomical Chart" compiled by Huang Shang.

Chapter 1882 Gravity

With Huang Shang present,

That is indeed more convincing.

Wen Huanzhang walked at the very front.

He bowed to the astronomers.

He asked directly:

"How can we determine if the Hun Tian theory is false?"

Ma Hui bowed in return.

His eyes, however, were fixed on Huang Shang.

Huang Shang was the dean of the Astronomical Institute last year.

He smiled and said, "Does Mr. Wen know about the retrograde motion of the five planets?"

"Of course I know," Wen Huanzhang replied.

The five stars refer to the five major planets.
