Whether you are doing astronomy, geography, or climate, in the end there is one thing you cannot get around: mathematics.
If there is any secret book in the real world that can make you invincible if you learn it, it is mathematics. Once you learn this thing, you can really defeat the world with a sword. The problem is that the secret book of this thing is posted everywhere. The masters of mathematics
I can't wait to spread my knowledge crazily in the world, hoping that someone who comes after me will join my method. I have no intention of cherishing it.
But most of the time, people who get the secrets just take a look and find ways to cope with it. Those who can get started can't see the end. Most of them switch to finance to make some money. Those who can really get to the end with the secrets.
Each era is numbered.
Of course, this is for normal people. For those who really need to study certain subjects, mathematics is a blind corner that cannot be circumvented. The Gan family and the Shi family can calculate the range of gravity acceleration by using a vacuum pendulum, and use the data to deduce it.
Puller's three laws are actually not weak in terms of mathematics alone.
At least compared to the average level of this era, it already belongs to the level that stands at the top of the era, and those above it are basically mathematicians who have been in the history books.
However, with such a level of mathematics, when Chen Xi said it was a mathematical calculation, his face turned green. It was not that the Gan and Shi families were not good at it, but that this thing was too difficult to calculate. You must know that future generations will calculate this thing.
Taking supercomputing into account, the Gan and Shi families are now at most aware of precession, nutation, and pole shift, and want to rely on existing data for accurate calculations and predictions...
"Well, lend me five Zhao brothers and we can figure it out next year." Gan Bao's face turned green for a while and he said with a bit of depression.
"Is it so exaggerated?" Li You frowned and looked at Gan Bao and Shi Tao. He actually didn't understand what Chen Xi was talking to these two people at all. At most, he got a little understanding of what precession was by asking his own son.
As for the other stuff, what is it.
But again, Li You still respects the Gan and Shi families. After all, these two families don't cause trouble. They are so exhausted that they have no money to deceive others into doing some heavenly sensing and then share some profits and continue to do their own work. That's enough.
It is an extremely reliable family among the aristocratic families.
What's more, if the celestial calendar is better and the food is increased by 5% to 10%, there will be countless people alive, so Li You is still willing to give a certain amount of respect to this kind of family that is really doing things.
"All five are conservative. We have looked through the records of ancient times. We suspect that this thing has a pattern, but the full picture of this pattern cannot be seen in the human life cycle." Shi Tao said very tiredly,
This is not a joke, but a judgment they made after comparing the declination angles of star palace shifts over thousands of years.
Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Precession actually led to a lot of interesting things. The cycle Shi Tao mentioned, Chen Xi estimated, is that the celestial sphere moves around the ecliptic pole. This cycle lasts for more than 20,000 years. As for more realistic things,
Well, it's probably because the vernal equinox has moved westward, so that the star chart's displacement has been accumulating, and it basically has to be changed every fifty years.
If the Gan and Shi families had compared the star charts between the Shang and Zhou dynasties and determined that there were no problems with the star charts, they should have realized that the coordinate system itself based on the concept of the equator was also changing, and this change was the manifestation of precession.
"It's difficult to calculate?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and asked. If he didn't know the math questions, he asked Chen Xi directly. This was the experience Li You accumulated.
"Yes, with the current incomplete data, it is quite difficult to calculate this, and the two family heads should be somewhat suspicious of the notes left by their ancestors." Chen Xi looked at Gan Bao and Shi Tao and said with a smile.
, the two of them did not deny it and nodded.
The problem lies here. When the overall image cannot be completely observed, mathematical calculations must at least have some accurate original data. But what can I say about the original data obtained by the Gan family and the Shi family now?
It is said that I can't trust my ancestors at all, but I can't judge which ones are usable and which ones are not. In this case, it is better to directly test them.
"Then let's do the actual test. I can provide funds and let the Gan and Shi families borrow the Xugong River for a period of time every year." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
It was impossible for Zhao Shuang to borrow it. It was Sun Qian's personal computer, and Guo Kai was not in the Department of Mathematics at all. Unless the Gan and Shi families deceived the picture and Guo Kai directly confirmed the truth or falsehood, Guo Kai actually had no knowledge of this aspect.
It makes no sense, so the only one who can use it is Xu Yue.
Li You gave Chen Xi a hard look. Xu Yue was his best tool!
"This requires continuous investment, and I'm afraid it won't be effective in a short period of time." Although it is here to defraud funds, Gan Bao still has to say it first.
"It's okay. This kind of thing is built bit by bit. Just remember to keep all the data and information in detail." Chen Xi said calmly. This thing is very important, and it will determine whether future research can be done.
keep going,
"We have also considered this aspect." Shi Tao nodded and said, "We have communicated with the Yuan family. The Yuan family is implementing a very strange management method. We here feel that it has some reference significance, so
I’m also going to promote it.”
"What kind of management method?" Chen Xi first took out the special paper made by the special papermaking department and maintained by Zhao Yun, wrote the corresponding entries on it, then took out the seal of the Marquis of Ziye Township and stamped it, and then went to
He stamped his private seal on the side, the spare seal of Chang'an Bank, added the serial number, handed it to Shi Tao and asked.
Currently, Chen Xi still makes the large-value exchange tickets himself. After all, he can't make many in a year, and normally no one would use such a large amount. Therefore, Chen Xi personally stamps and signs each one.
"It is said that a civil servant who newly joined the Yuan family suggested that secretaries be arranged for each local village and let the secretaries record what happened day by day. There is no requirement for quantity, just one note every day. There is no requirement for quality, but for outsiders
People who are travelers, travelers, and special events must be recorded, even in one sentence." Shi Tao thought for a while and said, this was what the brother of their family who ran back from the Yuan family said.
Chen Xi was silent for a while after hearing this. Who asked him to do this? After thinking about it for a while, he already understood that this thing was written by Cyprian.
Historically, after the European Catholic Church absorbed Cyprian, it was officially formalized. Many rules were instituted by Cyprian. What was the original reason for requiring priests in churches everywhere to keep diaries? Chen Xi did not know.
Too sure, but this operation solves a lot of problems.
Education, learning, inheritance, etc. are accumulated bit by bit, and then when the number of churches and priests increases, it is easier to manage such a thing. After all, if a big event happens, if you don’t record it, the people around you will
The church will also record it, and when the time comes to verify and compare it, we will naturally know who is messing around.
Of course, if you have the ability to block the mouths of several churches around you, it is difficult to block the mouths of all churches. After all, the more you block the mouths, the more people will know about your blocking, and naturally someone will record it.
This is also the reason why after the third century, there was no orthodox historian in Europe for a long time, but there were still enough local historical materials for reference. To put it bluntly, these priests recorded what happened in their place like a running account. Although
Most of them are trivial matters, and I can only mention a few words about major matters that do not involve the local area. But there are many churches, and there are always people around the matter.
To be honest, Chen Xi didn't quite understand the reason why Cyprian asked these priests to write diaries. It was unrealistic to say that he could see that far in the third century, but this matter was undoubtedly a clever move.
It's just that it's not suitable for the Central Plains. The Central Plains has always been an official history compilation and will not allow others to mess around. Even if you are writing a diary, some things cannot be written. This is why China's local history is very complete and the ancient people's lives are detailed.
On the contrary, there is a missing reason.
On the contrary, in Europe, because of Cyprian's method, many priests had nothing to write in their diaries today, so they just wrote about the conditions of the people around them. So in the Middle Ages, what did the poor people eat, how was it made, and how much wood residue and bran were mixed with it.
I know how to talk about everything. Anyway, I can’t stand the requirements from above, so I’m just trying to fool around with the head office. Today I’m going to give you a tutorial on how to make a baguette that’s enough to kill someone. Blah blah blah.
These things were undoubtedly perfunctory by the priests who recorded them at that time. These things were short-lived and had no meaning. They were just written down casually, but hundreds of years later these things became the basis for research.
Important material for real situations.
This kind of material is actually relatively rare in the Central Plains. Since the First Emperor, the perspective of all dynasties has been on how the rulers maintained their rule, and little attention has been paid to the ruled. The recorded information mainly focuses on the rise and fall of the country.
There is little focus on the ruled individuals, and at most some records of individuals can be seen in private letters.
But the number of such private letters is very rare compared to the huge number of ruled individuals, so that later generations of the Central Plains can clearly reproduce the prosperity of their own dynasty, but it is difficult to detail it.
To build the lives of people of the same generation.
What they eat, what they play, how they entertain themselves, these ordinary people's things were basically a desert before the novel was formed.
That’s right, the Ming and Qing novels, which are the most despised and considered low-ranking in the history of literature, finally construct a living and real underlying ecological reality of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, allowing people to clearly understand how the people of that era lived.
Even if it is not historical data, it is at least a reference, allowing most people in later generations to know how ordinary people lived in the Ming and Qing Dynasties when they want to understand.
As for going forward, it belongs to a very professional field. The information on big figures is very detailed, but the information on ordinary people is too sparse. It is so rare that you can only look for it one by one by looking through the history books.
Cyprian's gameplay seems to be just for the convenience of management, but if you stand on the lower reaches of the long river of history and think about it carefully, you will realize that these data passed down like a running account represent the lives of many ordinary people.
Every word in the historical data of a big shot needs to be considered carefully, but if you record the diary of a little shot and fill it in casually, even if you deal with it perfunctorily, what will remain is the truth of the person involved.
"This plan is quite good." After listening to what Shi Tao said, Zhuge Liang said with a somewhat serious tone.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Chen Xi asked with a bit of curiosity.
"Let the aristocratic families in Central Asia follow suit and submit one copy every year." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"Actually, they were asked to write this, but they haven't taken shape yet, and the requirements are not strict. In fact, the task of making internal history is to collect this diary, then compare the records, and then find the wrong places in it, and conduct
Accountability." Chen Xi said casually, "When the Emperor Zhou still had authority, the Central Plains were also implementing these, but only for the princes and kings."
"Oh oh oh, no wonder it looks so familiar to me." When Gan Bao heard this, he immediately reacted and said why it looked so familiar because his ancestors had already played with it.
"It looks familiar because our ancestors have played with it before, but it doesn't react because the First Emperor burned all the diaries of other families." Fazheng said quietly. He also reacted and quickly understood what Chen Xi meant when he said this.
The reason why I didn’t follow it up is that the Central Plains is not suitable for this kind of gameplay.
"However, this kind of gameplay is suitable for the Yuan family. It can be regarded as mutual restraint and strengthening management." Chen Xi turned a blind eye to Fazheng's eyes. Even if the Central Plains side played this way, it would be in vain when they finally unified. This approach requires another person.
It is impossible for Zhongyuan to have another team, and Chen Xi will not allow it, so we can only wait and see.
"Forget it, let's not mention this. Everyone has his own way of playing. Speaking of which, the court meeting is coming soon this year. Who will the Yuan family send?" Chen Xi didn't want to get entangled in this matter, so he asked naturally.
"I don't know. We haven't had in-depth exchanges with the Yuan family yet. All this news was brought back by my brother." Shi Tao shook his head and said, "But if there is a meeting of the great dynasty, even if there is a personal grudge, Duke Zhong Guo can't come.
No matter how hard it is, a heavyweight needs to be brought in. Even if it doesn't work, the princess must come in person."
Yuan Tan conferred the title of Zhong Guogong, but the current titles of the Han Dynasty are basically clearly divided. According to the internal and external Kyushu, they are divided into two sets. The highest internal title is the marquis. The outer title is not promoted directly, but is given to the feudal state.
With a full set of legislative power and military and political power, it can be regarded as a complete princely state. The Duke of the country is directly transferred to the princely prince, so it is generally assumed that Wen is the princess and Stina is the concubine.
As for the other women in Yuan Tan's inner courtyard, none of them have official titles, which means they have no status. They can only be said to be maidservants with a certain status.
"If I remember correctly, Princess Zhong just gave birth to a child, and the banquet has not yet been held. The canonization edict is ready, but the Yuan family has to wait for five years." Zhuge Liang frowned and said after hearing this.
Yuan Tan will definitely not come to the Great Court Meeting, and Wen Shi has just given birth to a child, so it is unlikely that he will come. He can't let his concubine Stina come over. It's not impossible. Stina's identity and strength are there.
No one can say anything. The question is how brave the Yuan family must be to let Stina come alone.
"Of the three members of the Yuan family, the remaining two also fell ill this year." Fazheng added, which means that the Yuan family must send people to Chang'an to attend the court meeting. After Yuan Da passed away, Yuan followed the two brothers.
His health is not in good shape either. After all, his fate is approaching, and there are only a few people who are as strong as Zhao Qi.
"Zhongda should be impossible. Xu Ziyuan went to Rome. In this case, it will be Xun Youruo who comes?" Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
After all, it is the great court meeting at the beginning of the eleventh year of Yuanfeng. No matter how many things happen to the major families, they will come to participate. The development of the past ten years has made the major families clearly realize that it is better to rely on themselves than to hold on to others, and Chen Xi
Her thighs are really thick and powerful.
Therefore, all major aristocratic families will not miss the great court meeting at the beginning of next year. It will be either the head of the family or the person in charge who can make decisions with a single word, and given the current situation of the Yuan family.
"Well, I guess so. I just happened to be allowed to meet Xun Youruo." Fazheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Fazheng had met all the people in the Xun family, but Xun Chen was the only one who couldn't sit down and talk.
Fazheng is also interested in meeting this guy who claims to be able to analyze his opponent's thinking.
"Maybe we will bring Cyprian here." Chen Xi said with a smile. To be honest, he wanted to meet Cyprian. After all, in terms of his influence on world history, even Zhuge Liang is far away from Cyprian.
There is a certain distance, and in terms of ability, Cyprian is also worthy of being a heavenly being.
In addition, Sima Yi also wrote to Chen Xi complaining about Cyprian, and Chen Xi really wanted to meet this guy who stood at the top of countless wise men in this era.
"Are you very interested in that guy?" Fazheng felt a slight difference in Chen Xi's tone, "That guy is very powerful?"
"It's amazing. If you really want to say it, it can be regarded as the appearance of a man of heaven." Chen Xi thought for a while and gave a positive answer.
"It's rare to be praised so highly by you. I kind of want to know more about it." Li You glanced at Zhuge Liang, and then said with a bit of disdain.
"I'm not joking this time, he is indeed a man of heaven." Chen Xi saw Li You's expression and said seriously, "At least in a certain aspect, even Kong Ming would find it difficult to surpass him. The true pride of the times, the man of heaven.
The thing about people is that you don’t know if it will come at the end of the year.”
"Sneeze!" Cyprian rubbed his nose, and then raised his issue in the Senate, "Let's put aside the turmoil caused by the lack of food. This level of turmoil is nothing at all.
The most important thing at the moment is to deal with Odin in Northern Europe as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the local unrest expands and Odin takes advantage of the chaos to go south and coordinate internally and externally, the overthrow of Rome is imminent."
I'm probably really useless. I obviously want to update more, but I just can't get up.
