Then, the great scholar of the time told Yao Jiuye's entire "Natural History Plan".
It didn't take any great scholar of the time to tell Emperor Mingguang that if someone could really answer Yao Jiuye's bunch of questions, then the map of the Ming Dynasty would have to be renovated.
It is an extremely grand project that consumes huge amounts of manpower and materials, and it may not be able to be solved even if it takes several years.
"Your Majesty, things haven't been done yet, how do you know that Yao Jiuye can't solve it?" The great scholar of the world looked helpless, "Look at me, these kids are serious, they really want to solve this problem."
"This problem... I'm afraid they may not be able to solve it even if they spend their entire lives, right? The listening room on this map cannot be completed in two or three days, not to mention that it involves such a huge area, and even involves things that people have never thought about.
The areas involved..." Emperor Mingguang felt that this kind of thing was impossible if he just imagined it.
If adults can't do it, how can a child do it?
The great scholar of the time gently shook his head, somewhat disapproving of it.
Emperor Mingguang saw it and said, "The master doesn't seem to think so?"
"Whether they can completely solve this problem, I don't know, but I believe that when they work hard to find the answer, they will definitely gain something." Having said this, the great scholar of the world bowed respectfully to Emperor Mingguang and bowed to him.
Emperor Mingguang prayed for something, "I am here today just to ask for a favor from your majesty on behalf of Yao Jiuye and others. I hope that your majesty will facilitate them when they do this."
Emperor Mingguang took a deep look at the great scholar of the time and said that he was indeed a smart man. Look, what he wanted was "convenience", not "permission".
"Convenience" means not only permission, but also giving certain care.
And "permission" is just permission.
"It seems that Aiqing likes this child very much. Okay, I promise you." Just in time, he also wanted to see how far these children could achieve.
Emperor Mingguang's eyes flashed, because in addition to the princes who had grown up and went out to build mansions, basically all the princes and grandsons who were still studying in the study were inside.
Except, Jinjun Prince’s Mansion.
This is indeed a problem!
Emperor Mingguang thought for a while, and it seemed that he had to find a way to give a hint and let these boys join in. Otherwise, he would miss the opportunity to perform, and he would not know when he wanted to exercise next time.
Unfortunately, things turned out to be the opposite.
Emperor Mingguang thought well, but the third emperor's grandson Li Zhen just didn't want to get together with the emperor's eldest grandson Li An and the others. Moreover, it was Yao Jiuye who led the team, and he couldn't stand it.
Therefore, Emperor Mingguang arranged for several people to hint, but they failed.
In the end, Emperor Mingguang had no choice but to give up.
Whatever you want, do whatever you want.
Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so he should worry less.
…
With the tacit approval of Emperor Mingguang, Yao Jiuye, the emperor's grandson Li An and others were very happy and worked enthusiastically.
From time to time they went to the Hanlin Academy to borrow people.
Especially since Uncle Yao himself is the editor-in-chief of "Da Ming Daily" and the brother of Yao Jiuye, this is even more convenient.
As soon as Uncle Yao is free, Yao Jiuye will take people over to ask for advice about the "newspaper". It seems that he really wants to publish a "Natural History Journal".
At first, Uncle Yao was a little worried, so he made a special trip to Prince Chong's Mansion to remind Li Wenchong. In the end, Li Wenchong said directly: "It's okay, just help them with it. Your Majesty should have known about such a big movement."
This means that if Emperor Mingguang doesn't allow it, he won't be able to get in front of Uncle Yao.
Uncle Yao: "..."
How does he feel that after his mother remarried to Prince Chong, he had more and more problems to worry about?
However, since Emperor Mingguang acquiesced, he had nothing to worry about. After finishing his work, he went to work for Yao Jiuye and others as a consultant to help design "Natural History".
First of all, this newspaper must make it clear that it is just a "children's newspaper", not an official newspaper, and is only for children and students from all over the world to study and discuss together.
The topics and questions involved are not final answers, but a process of "discussion".
In other words, if anyone wants to see the standard answers, please look for the year-end issue of "Dahua Science". This newspaper will summarize the issues discussed by "Natural History" in the past year and give a phased "standard answer"
Answer".
Why is it a staged standard answer?
Because Yao Jiuye said: "What if the conclusion we came to at that time was applicable at that time, but no longer applicable after that stage? Therefore, this answer is staged."
Uncle Yao: "...Okay, this newspaper belongs to you, you have the final say."
He is a thug.
"Natural History" refers to the layout of Jinling Entertainment News, adds many illustrations and Jiugongge comics, and adopts a more childlike style.
It contains not only some scientific knowledge summarized by Yao Jiuye and others, but also many questions they raised, hoping to discuss it with people all over the world.
If anyone knows the answer, a huge reward is offered.
The more difficult the problem, the higher the prize, which can even be worth a hundred taels of silver.
"Is it true?! You can get money by answering questions?"
"Really, it was written in the newspaper."
An old lady stretched her head to read it and felt that the newspaper looked different from what she usually saw.
"No, this newspaper...why is it different from the ones I saw before?"
"Of course it's different. What I saw before was a government newspaper, which was more serious. This newspaper was published by the children of relatives, have you seen it?" The scholar next door pointed to the "Newspaper Announcement" on the newspaper and said,
"Here, clearly written, this is not a science report, but a simple discussion report."
The illiterate uncle and aunt joined in the fun, and the rest was none of their business.
It’s not that they don’t want to earn the silver reward mentioned in the newspaper, but when the scholars think about it, they are all confused: Who knows what else is in the north?
Isn’t the north just the north?
"Aren't there Tatars in the north?"
"It seems like further north?"
"Isn't it a grassland?"
"How big is the grassland? Where is that side of the grassland?"
"Well……"
…
Qiu Hongbao didn't take the "Natural History Journal" seriously at all. When he heard that it was the prince and grandson who created it, he guessed that it was created to gain fame.
If it weren't for the fact that there would be a silver reward for answering the question, he wouldn't have wanted to spend those few copper plates.
Qiu Hongbao thought it was ridiculous when he read in the newspaper that two copper balls with the same texture but different weights would fall to the ground together when dropped from a high altitude.
How can this be?
Everyone knows that if heavy things fall faster, then the heavy copper ball must hit the ground first.
However, it is stated above that this is scientifically verified. If anyone disagrees, you are welcome to experiment privately, then sign up at the Imperial College, debate with the editors of this newspaper, and compete.
The truth becomes clearer and clearer, and everyone is welcome to question and boldly seek verification.
"Damn! Sure enough!"
Qiu Hongbao looked disdainful. He just wanted to make money now and had no interest in experiments or experiments.
He turned to the questions that were said to have silver rewards, and he was stunned: Are you sure, this is not a joke?!
The sky is round and the earth is square. How can you prove it? The sky is really round and the earth is square. Proving is nonsense. The sage said it. How can it be wrong?
