Chapter 1783 Inspection of Gezhi Hospital——Happy for Daughter and Looks
"The law of universal gravitation? What a good name." Cao Zheng immediately praised: "This name is simple and easy to understand. Even a young child can understand the meaning of this name as long as he understands the meaning of gravity. It is very good."
"Haha, I also think this name is very good." Yun said with a smile.
He laughed for a while and then said seriously: "Cao Qing, Zhou Qing, and Siqing, the three beloved ministers also made great contributions to the discovery of this law. I want to reward you."
"Cao Zheng listened to the title. He granted Ai Qing the title of Chief Envoy of the second rank. He was initially awarded Zhongfeng Dafu, promoted to Tongfeng Dafu, and then Zhengfeng Dafu. He rewarded Ai Qing with a hundred taels of gold."
"Sichengtang listened to the title. He granted Ai Qing the title of No. 5-rank doctor. He was initially awarded the title of Fengyi doctor, then promoted to Fengzheng doctor, and was granted the title of official doctor. He received a salary of two hundred shi."
"Zhou Wei listened to the title and granted Aiqing the title of Zhengwu-grade Langzhong. He was initially granted the title of Fengyi doctor and promoted to Fengzheng doctor. As Aiqing was Wenluo's teacher, I gave Aiqing a higher reward, the title of Fenggongdafu. Jue, benefit three hundred stones."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Zhou Wei and Sichengtang both kowtowed quickly to express their gratitude. In fact, they both felt that they deserved the reward. After all, the final law was proposed by Wen Luo, and they both still had doubts. It was not until Her Royal Highness the Princess presented evidence that they accepted the law. They wanted to refuse, but the reward included a knighthood, which could be passed down to future generations, so they were reluctant to part with it. It would be even worse to refuse after hesitating for a moment, so they had to kowtow to express gratitude. .
But Cao Zheng said: "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to take back the reward of the second-grade official title."
"Why do you ask me to take back the reward? Do you think the reward is too heavy? If because of this, I don't need to ask for it anymore, I will definitely not take it back." Yun said.
"Your Majesty, this reward is indeed a bit heavy for me, but this is not the reason why I ask your Majesty to take back the reward. The so-called thunder and rain are all your kindness, how can I dare to refuse? The reason why I refuse is for the sake of Gezhiyuan."
"If the minister is given a second-grade official title, because he is a deputy envoy, then Yang Yuan Envoy must also be given a second-grade official title. However, according to the grade set when Gezhiyuan was originally established, Gezhiyuan is only a fifth-grade yamen, and the envoy of the courtyard is only a fifth-grade yamen. This official is only the fifth-rank official. If due to the additional title, all the envoys, envoys, and deputies are second-rank officials, second only to the sixth rank and on par with the chief envoys of the provinces, it would be too noticeable."
"This is not a good thing for the Gezhiyuan. The Gezhiyuan was originally established by His Majesty against all opinions. It attracts too much attention. Moreover, because the official rank of deputy envoy to the Yuan is too high, I am afraid it will cause criticism both inside and outside the government and the impeachment of the Gezhiyuan." There will be more memorials to pay for food and salary, and it will be more difficult for Gezhiyuan to communicate with other yamen. Therefore, for the sake of Gezhiyuan, I also ask your Majesty to exempt the ministers from the title."
"I have another reason for my resignation. The current title of Yang Yuanshi is the third rank, but I am only the fifth rank. Therefore, it is difficult to arrange errands after leaving the position of Gezhiyuan Yuanshi, so I can only be promoted to Honglu. Temple, Taipu Temple, Dali Temple and other yamen, only a senior official can suppress him if he is a fourth-rank young minister; if he is added to the second-rank official rank, unless he is promoted to a third-rank minister after resigning from the Gezhi Academy, he will not be able to suppress him at all. Being unable to arrange an official position is not a good thing for him."
"This," Yun heard what Cao Zheng said, and felt it made sense. Gezhiyuan is only a fifth-rank yamen, and the addition of a second-rank official title to the envoy is really eye-catching and not a good thing; and the official position of the envoy after he retires will also be It gave him a headache. Cao Zheng was Tie Da's vice-president, which meant that all future envoys would have to be at least the same as Cao Zheng before he retired. If he was really promoted to the second rank, there was really no way to arrange it. .
But the words had been spoken, and it was hard to save face by taking them back on the spot. Although Cao Zheng understood His Majesty's thoughts, he could not say anything due to his status, and the scene almost froze here.
Fortunately, Min'er was there. After listening to Cao Zheng's words and seeing her father's expression, she hurriedly pulled Wen Yuan over and whispered something in his ear. Wen Yuan immediately said a few words and resolved Yun's siege. He immediately got off the donkey and withdrew his reward for Cao Zheng's title.
It was already noon, already a little late. Yun said a few words to Yang Zhu, Cao Zheng and others, asking them to study the law of universal gravitation carefully, prove as soon as possible whether the size of gravity is related to volume or weight, and work out the calculation Formula, left Gezhiyuan in a hurry with his four children.
"Dad, my daughter feels that today has been a great harvest." On the carriage, Wen Luo first said: "First, I saw the steam engine that has been successfully developed, and then I witnessed the discovery of a law of astronomy. This day is worth the harvest of the past year. ."
"Especially when you discovered that law of astronomy, the harvest will be even greater." Min'er smiled.
Wen Luo blushed, but then said loudly: "It is true that my sister discovered the law of universal gravitation by herself, so my sister feels that the harvest is greater."
"Sister, I remember that a few days ago you said that Mr. Zhou said that you have a great talent for studying astronomy. When we met today, it turned out to be true. Even the three gentlemen Cao and Zhousi didn't think of it, which made you think that your talent is still there among the three gentlemen. Above." Min'er said again.
Hearing this, Wen Luo showed a proud smile on her face, saying that was what she thought. But she immediately felt that this was too arrogant and did not respect Mr. Zhou enough, so she hurriedly said: "The reason why I can think of The law of universal gravitation is not because I am smarter than the three gentlemen, but because I am young and my ideas do not have so many restrictions."
"You don't have to explain." Min'er said again: "Look at Daddy, the smile on his face can't be suppressed. He is so happy for you."
"Dad, is dad really so happy that his daughter discovered the law of gravity?" Wen Luo turned her head to look at her father. As expected, she saw a smile on her face and said with expectation.
"Father is indeed happy for you." Yun said with a smile. In fact, Yun was very happy after Wen Luo said, "Everything in the world can naturally produce gravity." This is the law of universal gravitation, which is called the most powerful law in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that the laws of physics are important. How could he not be happy if he could study them now? Especially since this law was proposed by his own daughter, his happiness was doubled, which made him unable to suppress his smile.
"You will definitely become a world-famous astronomer in the future, and you will be remembered forever in the history books, not as a princess, but as the inventor of the law of gravity." Yun said with some solemnity.
Hearing this, both Min'er and Wen Yuan looked at Wen Luo in surprise. However, Wen Luo was still young after all and did not fully understand the meaning of his father's words. He just smiled and said: "This is great, except for Princess Biography." , my daughter can be recorded in other history books." Seeing her reaction, Yun also smiled.
Wen Luo mentioned the steam engine again. "Sister, I can't believe that this steam engine is of such great use. Sister has such a good sense."
"I also think I have good taste." Min'er added with a smile, and then added: "But what I was most optimistic about at the beginning was not Zhang Xuexi's research, but that of another person, who also gave the most funding to that other person; who
Thinking about that person, he was never able to research anything, and later even gave up; instead, it was Zhang Xuexi’s research that succeeded.”
"This is the so-called unintentional intervention." Wen Luo said: "But the steam engine is so useful, and even if the thing that person researches is completed, it will not be more useful than the steam engine. Zhang Xuexi's research is better."
"Moreover, my sister is more willing to see Zhang Xuexi's research be fruitful. After all, he is good-looking. My sister has also met many people in Gezhiyuan, and Zhang Xuexi is the most good-looking person among them."
"Why do you care about his appearance?" Wen Yuan said in a dumbfounded voice. Just when Yun sent someone to pass the book to Gezhiyuan to write the edict, seal it and read it on the spot, Zhang Xuexi changed his clothes in order to be more solemn, and also
After taking a shower, they all saw Zhang Xuexi’s appearance, which was indeed good. But why did the topic turn here?
"Only men are allowed to look at women's looks, and women are not allowed to look at men?" Wen Luo snorted.
"Fourth sister, you..." Wenyuan was about to persuade her.
"Second brother, my sister knows that she is wrong." Wen Luo said immediately: "My sister just saw a good-looking person and just admired it. She had no other meaning at all. I will never say such things again."
"Haha!" Yun said with a smile: "Wen Luo, the other brothers and sisters are all afraid of your eldest sister, but you are the only one who is afraid of your second brother. It is a strange thing."
Wen Luo hurriedly said: "The second brother is dignified and he is also the elder brother. How can I not respect my younger sister? Not only my daughter, but also other brothers and sisters respect my second brother. As for the eldest sister, the eldest sister is usually relaxed and casual, and the younger sister also respects the second brother.
How can you be afraid? Are you, eldest sister?" Wen Luo finally asked Min'er.
But Min'er seemed to be thinking about something. She came back to her senses after hearing Wen Luo's question and asked: "What?"
"Sister, what are you thinking about?" Wen Luo couldn't help but ask. She was still joking just now, why did she suddenly become thoughtful?
"It's nothing, oh, you mean I am relaxed and casual, how can I be afraid of my younger sister? This is natural. The second brother did the bad job, and the older sister can only be the red face." Min'er smiled.
At this time, the carriage had entered the palace and arrived at the Qianqing Gate. Here, even Yun had to dismount his horse and enter on foot or be carried by Bu Xue. He got off the carriage with his four children and walked towards the Qianqing Palace, and then ordered those who were already waiting here.
Lu Yi passed on the meal, and he and his four children wanted to have dinner at the Qianqing Palace.
The children all enjoyed their lunch. Not only did they eat half an hour later than usual, but they also walked around Gezhi Courtyard for a while in the morning. Their moods went through ups and downs and they were hungrier than usual, especially Wen Luo, who had eaten a lot.
, which made Miner laugh again.
After lunch, Yun stayed for a while and was about to take a nap. Min'er and others hurriedly said goodbye. Yun was about to agree when he glanced at Wen and hesitated, but still let them go back.
