Lao Liu originally planned to write a big article with the theme of "Proving that the Earth is Round". The hype became a hot topic nationwide, thus establishing the status of scientific authority in one fell swoop and making Guozi University a guide for the advancement of human civilization.
What about the lighthouse?
When he saw this record, Zhu Zhen was completely confused. Damn, this is different from what they said? Didn't the ancients know nothing except philosophy?
Lao Liu can't figure it out. Is this someone fooling us, or has this king traveled to the Ming Dynasty in a parallel world?
Now that the big article was ruined, I had to think of other ways to establish authority.
But there are advantages. At least this way, he doesn't have to explain why the earth is round. He can also display the globe in a generous manner and teach astronomy and geography directly in the university.
In fact, Zheng Zhangjun, the lieutenant of the Qintian Prison in the Ming Dynasty, was a disciple of Zhao Youqin, the governor. He had been hired by Zhu Zhen as a lecturer at Guozi University to teach the "New Book of Gexiang" to students.
Because in addition to astronomy, "The New Book of Gexiang" also has in-depth research on mathematics and optics, it was designated by the King of Chu as one of the required books in Guozi University. Not only science students must learn it, but also students in the other five studies and one library.

Dao Yan pressed his broad palm on the globe, and the ball stopped rotating instantly.
"Confucianism is afraid of the theory that the earth is round, because it directly falsifies their theory that the sky is round and the earth is round." The monk, who had eaten and drank enough, said angrily:
"Then destroying their theory of 'influence between heaven and man', making the theories they established since the Western Han Dynasty no longer able to withstand scrutiny."
"So after the Song Dynasty took over the dominant position, under their crazy suppression, the development of astronomy and mathematics has been stagnant. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty, when the status of Confucian scholars was low and they could no longer stop it, that astronomy and mathematics showed a spurt of development.
, with these improvements.”
He said with a mocking smile: "In this dynasty, after they succeeded in the restoration, they tried their old tricks again. This time they branded our Han people's achievements in astronomy and mathematics as the Hui Hui people's strange skills and crooked ways.
, and even asked the court to ban private practice. It’s like facing a formidable enemy! Your Highness knows how scared they are.”
"I thought the master was on good terms with Confucianism, but I didn't expect to have such a strong opinion of them." Lao Liu looked at Dao Yan carefully, wondering whether he really thought so or said it deliberately to suit his own liking.
"A poor young monk studied Confucianism, but because it was empty, he gave up studying Taoism. However, the Taoism was also vague and unconvincing, so he turned to Buddhism." Daoyan said with a self-deprecating smile:
"I didn't expect that the three religions are almost the same thing. I really don't know where to go. I can only live in Buddhism first and muddle along."
As he spoke, he looked at Lao Liu eagerly, and said with sincerity in his magnetic voice:
"The poor monk has been wandering for half his life and has never met the enlightened master. If His Highness does not give up, the poor monk is willing to worship you, follow His Highness to the death, and create a new knowledge that can truly benefit the world!"
"Oh..." Lao Liu's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't expect Dao Yan to know him so well. It seems that he has really worked hard on himself.
If someone else had said this, Lao Liu would have taken him as a confidant, stayed by his side, and taken the bait... He was a high ginseng.
It's a pity that the opposite person is Dao Yan, and Lao Liu understands him far better than others. To some extent, he even understands him better than Dao Yan himself.
This is not an exaggeration, because at this time, the down-and-out middle-aged monk Daoyan, who was trapped in the capital and only became a minor monk at an early age, never dreamed that he could surpass his idol Liu Bingzhong in this life and single-handedly contributed to the Jingnan War.
, assisted Lao Si to achieve the miracle of the only successful rebellion of a vassal king in Chinese history.
And then he helped Lao Si create martial arts and martial arts, leading to the unprecedented Yongle era, which established two hundred years of peace for the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop...
So Mrs. Liu knew how much energy that could destroy the world and destroy the world was contained in the body of this fat monk who looked like a useless person.
Although he did not summon Dao Yan until today, in fact, it was impossible for Lao Liu to ignore this fat monk with triangular eyes from the very beginning.
It's just that Lao Liu has never been able to figure out what to do with Dao Yan in the past. Should he chop off his head without saying a word? Or should he take him into his pocket before the fourth brother does? Or should he just let it go and let him be there?
After the death of the mother, the fateful reunion with the fourth brother was achieved?
Different choices may lead history in completely different directions. How could Lao Liu be so cautious?
It wasn't until last winter that he finally made a choice, clarified his direction, and knew how to launch this life-threatening time nuclear bomb.

After Dao Yan finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Zhen calmly, and Zhu Zhen looked at Dao Yan calmly.
The two looked at each other for a while, and then Lao Liu sighed softly and said: "I asked Master to suppress you for five years, why didn't Master teach you a lesson? Do I have to suppress you for another ten years?"
When Dao Yan heard this, his expression finally changed. He had always thought that Liu Bowen was the reason why he could not see the King of Chu. Unexpectedly, His Highness the King of Chu actually said that it was his own intention.
Regardless of whether King Chu's words are true or false, his prejudice against himself cannot be false - King Chu believed that he would bring disaster to the country and the people, so how could he still act like a fool in the Ming Dynasty?
No matter how much you jump around, you will be slapped to death...
Daoyan thought clearly about the pros and cons in an instant, and knew that he had no choice but to go the way arranged by the King of Chu.
Even though he had already mastered cultivation, he still couldn't hide his disappointment. His triangular eyes wrinkled into two points, and he almost cried: "Actually, I just want to follow His Highness and do something in my career. I really have nothing else."
beg……"
Zhu Zhen nodded, knowing that what he said was true. What Lao Liu admired most about Dao Yan was that after he succeeded in assisting Zhu Dijing, he retreated bravely and showed no mercy for power.
It can only be said that some people rebel for power, some people rebel for revenge, and Daoyan rebels purely to display his abilities and not let this life be wasted...
Such a pure villain, free from vulgar taste, is truly unprecedented.
"I know the master's heart, but have you ever thought about it," Lao Liu said lightly: "Is there any room for you to show off in this Ming Dynasty?"
"Nothing at the moment..." Dao Yan said sincerely: "The emperor is at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period and controls all directions. The prince is highly respected by everyone and is as stable as a mountain. This is not the time for a poor monk to show off."
"You don't have the future either," Lao Liu said solemnly: "As long as I am here, no one can even think of causing trouble in the Ming Dynasty!"
"Yes..." Dao Yan was disapproving in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything nonsense. If he talked too much at this time, His Highness could really kill his bald head.
"Believe me, go to Annan. There is a stage for you there, and you can show off your abilities no matter what!" Lao Liu patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.
