The female yamen servant Su Hao had in mind was none other than Han Qian, the rich daughter of Han Wen's family in the county magistrate.
Han Qian finally persuaded her father, who was the county magistrate, to allow her to put on men's clothes and attend Su Hao's class. Her disguise was mainly to avoid showing her true face in front of Su Hao and the students.
In fact, all the government officials have met the daughter of the county magistrate. After all, Han Wen's family lived in the back office of the county government. When the female relatives usually went out or came to see Han Wen for something, they would meet the county government officials. The Ming Dynasty
Society is still very open, and it is not considered immoral for a wealthy lady like Han Qian to show up in the county government.
Han Qian mingled among the government officials, entered the East Pavilion, which was used as a classroom, and found a corner to sit down. Her original intention was just to listen to Su Hao's Western theories, and she did not want to attract Su Hao's attention. Who would have thought that Su Hao would
After Hao started teaching, Han Qian was attracted by what he was talking about unknowingly. She couldn't help but raise her head from time to time and make eye contact with Su Hao. Eyes are the windows to the soul, even if a person is wearing the clothes
Although she was dressed up to cover up, the look in her eyes could not be hidden. After several eye contact with Su Hao, Han Qian saw a smile in Su Hao's eyes, and she suddenly realized that her identity
Su Hao has already seen through it.
This damn guy, what did you see?
Han Qian lowered her head in panic, her heart pounding. She felt that Su Hao's gaze was like a high temperature, which made her whole body feel unbearably hot. If she was wearing women's clothes, then Su Hao would stare at her like this,
She could jump up and accuse Su Hao of being rude. But now that she had changed into men's clothes and someone saw through it, she really couldn't find a reason to protest.
Su Hao didn't know who the student was who was disguised as a man. He just felt that the presence of a girl made the whole classroom a little more angry. He smiled and his lecture became more energetic:
"We just talked about rocks. According to different causes, rocks can be divided into three categories. The first category is called magmatic rock, mainly basalt and granite. The difference between them lies in the different formation mechanisms. Basalt is an extrusive rock, and granite is
It’s an intrusive rock…”
Su Hao's knowledge was profound, and his lectures were simple and easy-to-understand, yet humorous. The students in the classroom were made to burst into laughter from time to time. Even Han Qian couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth and snickering. In this way,
Su Hao was even more emotional. He lectured repeatedly throughout the class, which made him admire himself very much.
After finishing a paragraph, Su Hao signaled everyone to take a break, then he came to Fang Mengjin and Wu Zhicheng and asked politely: "Master Fang, Mr. Wu, did the students explain it clearly?"
"The Western learning he talks about is like that of Huang Zhongda Lu. It's refreshing. I admire it, I admire it." Wu Zhicheng praised.
Su Hao said: "Mr. Wu, thank you for your praise. This student is just getting a glimpse of the door. How dare you say anything about Huang Zhong Da Lu?"
Fang Mengjin waved his hand and said: "In other words, there is no need to be modest. What you said is indeed very good. I feel that what you said is not just what the missionary preached, but also your own experience, right?"
Su Hao smiled and said: "As expected, I can't hide it from Master Fang. Some of what I talked about today was indeed understood by me myself. However, it cannot be separated from its origins. These principles are still deduced from Western learning."
Fang Mengjin said: "There are indeed some methods in this Western learning. After I heard about it, I began to understand why the art of well exploration is so unpredictable. It turns out that everything has traces to follow."
"There are no such things as ghosts and gods in this world. Everything has its own mechanism." Su Hao said.
While the three of them were chatting, the government officials in the back row felt that they were not qualified to listen, so they all left the East Pavilion and went outside to bask in the sun. The scholars were unwilling to let go of such an opportunity to study, and they all gathered around
Beside them, they listened to Su Hao discussing Western learning with two great Confucians.
Han Qian was embarrassed to move forward at first, but she was really curious about what they were talking about. After much hesitation, she finally joined the crowd of listeners. She was most familiar with Fang Mengjin, so she stood behind Fang Mengjin, lowering her head.
Dare to look directly at Su Hao.
Han Qian did not dare to provoke Su Hao, but Su Hao would not let the only female student in the class go. He bowed his hand to Han Qian and asked:
"Brother, do you understand what I just said?"
"You ask me?" Han Qian was caught off guard. She raised her head and saw that everyone was looking at her. Her face suddenly turned red and she didn't know how to answer.
"Yes." Su Hao pretended to be dumbfounded, "I don't know what you call me brother."
"I...my name is..." Han Qian was speechless.
Fang Mengjin turned around and saw Han Qian standing behind him. He couldn't help but smile and said to Su Hao: "In other words, this is the old man's nephew, his name is... Han Qing."
"Oh, it turns out to be Brother Han." Su Hao saluted Han Qian and said, "Little brother Su Hao, please change the name."
This is Su Hao's bad taste. He clearly knew that the other person was a girl, but he pretended not to notice and called the other person brotherly. In fact, when Fang Mengjin said Han Qian's
When the name was "Han Qing", Su Hao had already guessed the identity of the other party. In this county government, who could ask Fang Mengjin to fight for her, and whose surname was Han, besides the daughter of the county magistrate Han Wen, who else could she be?
Han Qian couldn't tell that Su Hao was teasing her. When he was talking about brother, brother, etc., he didn't look polite at all. It was clear that he had bad intentions. But the other party didn't want to tell the truth, and it was inconvenient for her.
To expose it directly, I could only imitate Su Hao's example, also cupped his hands, and said in a rough voice: "Brother Su is a great talent, I have admired him for a long time. I wonder what other knowledge Brother Su is proficient in besides well exploration, and whether he can
Can you tell me a few things to open your eyes?"
"Brother Han is overrated. I don't think I have any great talent. I just learned some exploration, surveying, metallurgy, hydrology, calculus, linear algebra, functional analysis, mechanics, optics, electricity, organic, inorganic and so on.
, there are only seventy or eighty things in total, which made Brother Han laugh." Su Hao said cheerfully.
In front of old masters like Fang Mengjin and Wu Zhicheng, Su Hao still tried to keep a low profile. But for Han Qian, he had no psychological pressure. Showing off his talents in front of girls is the instinct of any mentally healthy man.
, what's more, Su Hao's current body is only 17 years old, which is the age when youth is budding.
"Bragging!" Han Qian responded to Su Hao's bragging with two words, "How did I hear that Brother Su only learned from the missionary of Folangji for a few days? In these few days, you can learn so much."
A lot of stuff?”
Su Hao pretended to be depressed and said: "I can't help it, Brother Han, do you know what my biggest shortcoming is?"
"What is it?" Han Qian was indeed confused.
Su Hao said: "My biggest shortcoming is that I am too good and can learn anything quickly, which makes me often fall into painful self-blame."
"You..." Han Qian's mind was a little confused, and she was stunned for a while before she realized what was happening. Anger appeared on her face, and she stamped her feet and cursed: "Why are you so glib!"
"Haha, Qing'er, are you just kidding me?" Fang Mengjin chuckled and tried to smooth things over. He turned to Su Hao and said, "In other words, those organic and inorganic things you just mentioned are not the same.
Is it a Western saying?"
"Exactly." Su Hao also came to his senses. This was the Ming Dynasty. It was not harmonious to talk to a girl like this. Hearing Fang Mengjin change his subject, he quickly replied: "Fang
Master, these are indeed Western sayings, and I also heard what the missionary said."
"I just heard you talking about the science of electricity. Are you talking about the science of lightning in the sky?" Fang Mengjin asked.
"Yes, lightning is an electrical phenomenon." Su Hao replied bravely.
Fang Mengjin asked: "Does this lightning also have a theory?"
Su Hao thought for a while and said: "The theory is too complicated and I can't explain it clearly at the moment. Let's just talk about something simple. Electricity can be conducted through metal. If an iron wire is inserted into the cloud, lightning will be transmitted through the iron wire.
Underground. In the West, people know that when building a high-rise building, they need to put an iron wire on the roof and then connect it to the ground so that the high-rise building will not be struck by lightning. This is called a lightning rod."
"Could what brother Gai said refer to the method of owl? "Han Ji" records: Bailiang Palace disaster, Houyue Wu said, there are fish in the sea, the tail is like an owl, the waves are like rain, so I made a picture of it in
The house is auspicious of fire. This seems to be consistent with the lightning rod mentioned by brother Gai." A scholar standing behind Wu Zhicheng said to Su Hao.
Su Hao looked up and recognized that the scholar's name was Ma Yu, with a courtesy name of Duwen. It was said that he was a scholar who passed the exam in the same year as himself. However, Su Hao was the last among the scholars, while Ma Yu was the first.
.When Su Hao performed linear programming in the academy in the morning, this Ma Yu was the one who watched it most seriously. Now that he can recite an unfamiliar ancient text, Su Hao can't help but feel a little ashamed: "Uh-huh, it's a unique article."
What I said is true. This owl is actually a lightning rod in ancient China. However, the theory that the owl method is based on gods is somewhat different from the principle of lightning rods mentioned by Westerners."
Su Hao has not read the article Ma Yu said, but he knows to some extent what Ma Yu said. This happened in the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Weiyang Palace and Bailiang Terrace in the Han Palace were struck by lightning and a fire broke out.
.An alchemist named Yongzhi suggested to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that an animal called an owl could prevent fire. As long as an owl-shaped object was installed on the roof, such disasters could be avoided. This was the earliest lightning rod in China.
In fact, the otter's ability to protect against lightning strikes has nothing to do with its shape. It is mainly because the decorations on the roof are made of metal, and there are sharp objects pointing to the sky, which can attract current in the air. Compared with modern lightning rods
, the disadvantage of the otter is that there are no metal wires leading to the ground, but on rainy days, the building has a certain conductive ability after being wet, so it can also play a lightning protection effect.
In the Ming Dynasty, craftsmen summed up the experience of their predecessors and began to try to connect the metal wires buried in the ground to the otter. This was not much different from the modern lightning rod. At this time, Franklin, who invented the modern lightning rod, was still single.
What about cell status?
Fang Mengjin smiled and said, "So, when people in the Ming Dynasty built their houses, they put owl fish or dragon kisses on the roof. Is this a coincidence with the lightning rod method in Western learning?"
Su Hao said: "The role of science is to explain the knowledge that people have mastered in daily life and to generalize it. The function of the owl installation is to guide lightning to the ground so that it will not be destroyed.
House. Therefore, its shape does not have to be like an owl, it would be better if it is made into the shape of a fish bone."
"That's it." Everyone nodded and praised.
"Who knows if it's true?" Han Qian muttered in the crowd with her lips curled up. In her heart, she actually somewhat believed what Su Hao said, but she refused to admit it. Who made Su Hao do it on purpose?
Just pretending to be stupid to tease her.
Su Hao smiled and said: "There is no way to test this lightning thing. I have a very simple experiment that can show you how electricity works. Brother Han, that hair on your sleeve,
Can I lend it to my little brother?"
"My hair?" Han Qian looked down and saw that there was indeed a piece of her own hair on her sleeve. Her face turned red again.
