There is really something wrong with Huangzhuang's account books.
Feng Bao sent Huangzhuang's accounts to the accounts department. After careful analysis of the accounts, he found more than a dozen minor problems, but the total of these problems amounted to less than two thousand taels of silver, and most of them were It was caused by a few lazy eunuchs who failed to calculate carefully, rather than by some thieves deliberately making false claims.
The literati of the Ming Dynasty only commented on the eunuchs in the Longqing and Wanli years in two words: "Tranquility", because the eunuchs in this period really had a sense of being aloof from the world. The emperor did not fight anymore, so they eunuchs could not fight no matter how hard they fought. Civil and military relatives.
The accounts of Huangzhuang highlight two words: strive for success.
Even Feng Bao stood tall and straight in the Wenhua Palace. He was so arrogant that the eunuchs were somewhat proud.
This comparison caused a ton of damage to Zhang Siwei, to those who stole the country for personal gain, and to the civil servants who claimed to be moral gentlemen. At least the eunuchs were not that much better than others when it came to being domestic slaves. A little bit.
The streets and alleys were talking about Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu's family thieves. As soon as the share ratio was announced, people all over the city immediately discussed the matter. When people talked about it, Zhang Siwei directly divided the two big shopkeepers and a Dui's accountant sued the Shuntian Mansion Yamen!
Zhang Siwei reported to the official.
As the second-ranking figure in the Jin Party Cairong and a rival to Ge Shouli, after Zhang Siwei's family had a thief, he could only ask the government to help recover it, because it was a thief and it was difficult to guard against it day and night. Zhang Siwei, Wang Chonggu fell into a vicious cycle. It was all domestic thieves who were digging for the foundation of their family. And what criteria were used to judge whether the people they could send were family thieves?
Zhang Siwei knew he had made a joke, but he wrote a letter to Wang Chonggu and finally finalized the charter and reported it to the official!
The scandal in your family has become known to everyone, causing uproar in the city, and making the world laugh. There is no need to hide it, report it directly to the official, and ask the court to bring justice to the two families.
Zhang Siwei went to report to the official, but the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen refused to accept him. The Shuntian Prefecture Yamen was different from other prefecture yamen. He was a Gyeonggi Yamen. Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu were not only the bosses who had suffered losses, but also the third-rank officials of the imperial court. A governor of Xuanda, a teacher in charge of Zhan Shi's house, and a teacher of the unborn prince. They are the whips of the Jin Party. Whether to accept the case or not is a matter of political trends and sides.
At this point, Zhang Siwei had already lost his face, and simply submitted a memorial as a third-grade official, expounding the stakes and recounting the matter from beginning to end.
"Zhang Siwei, he is not very smart, but his small cleverness is the best. He is not ambitious but he is determined. If he has the world in his heart, he is an outstanding person." After reading Zhang Siwei's memorial, Zhu Yijun was full of emotions about Zhang Hong beside him. Zhao Mengyou was right. , Zhang Siwei is really smart, but not very smart.
Zhang Siwei wrote in the memorial: [Zengzi said: A gentleman cannot think beyond his position. ] Start the discussion.
Although there are differences in the status of ordinary people, whether they are big or small, everyone has their own duties to perform. If one abandons one's own duties and fantasizes about being in power, it will be regarded as absenteeism to oneself and to others as an intrusion into the official position.
A gentleman's body is where he lives, and what his heart is thinking about is also there. All he thinks about all day long is to do what he should do to fulfill his duty.
If you are in a warehouse position, you will want to review accounts, tell cashiers, and fulfill your financial management duties; if you are in a military position, you will want to train diligently, follow military orders, and fulfill your duties as a military officer, and you will not be out of position at the beginning. And something to think about. If this is the case, all the duties will be completed and the affairs of the common people will be fulfilled.
Zhang Siwei was discussing that only when everyone performs his duties and is in his proper place can things be done. This is a common saying in Confucian etiquette. However, Zhang Siwei later connected this matter with the theory of contradiction.
The main contradiction behind the Ming Dynasty's current financial deficit is the conflict of interests between the court and the powerful. The powerful embezzlement of the means of production has led to a shrinking of the tax base, resulting in a deterioration of tax revenue. As a government office destined to be notorious, how can the tax office maintain its long-term sustainability? Its transcendent status, the case of Zhang Siwei's family, has great practical significance. The accounts inspected by the tax inspector can be used as evidence for prosecution, which is enough to use secondary contradictions to reconcile the main contradictions.
Zhang Siwei also mentioned in the main contradiction that the complexity of the main contradiction is due to the mutual influence of many secondary contradictions. To solve the main contradiction in a problem, it is necessary to solve the relatively secondary contradictions. As long as these constitute the main contradiction, Only by resolving the secondary contradictions bit by bit can the main contradiction be resolved and a state of conflict and balance be achieved.
Zhang Siwei extended from resolving conflicts to celebrating the power of reward, power and punishment, and the power of mastering power and blessing.
Celebration, reward, power and punishment are the main means to adjust conflicts. Only power and punishment without celebration and reward is not a long-term solution. It can only show the majesty of the emperor, but not the benevolence of His Majesty. All things are always in a cycle and one after another. Keep moving forward.
Finally, Zhang Siwei asked the emperor to take action.
Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu suffered a serious loss of face due to the house thief incident, but in the end, as scholars, they further earned back their face as scholars in terms of contradiction.
Wang Chonggu's memorial is very interesting. He is expressing his merits and praising his achievements as governor in large sections.
Last year, he built a total of 142 cellars for sweet potato seedlings in Xuanda and Dazhou, and set up nearly 200,000 acres of farming land specifically for seedling raising. Last year, he had a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, and the average yield per mu reached treasure trove. About 70% of Qisi's population is far ahead of other farming areas. There are 12,000 people recruited and returned, and more than 46,000 people live in Shanxi. About 20,000 people from Shanxi left Yanmen Pass to work in Xuanda farming.
Those who were recruited were those who fled the famine and became bandits in the mountains, those who privately sought to live in the mountains and forests to avoid the Gaoshui Valley Rental Department, the Tatars who fled to the northwest Jin Kingdom, the northwest Tatars who were naturalized in the Ming Dynasty, etc. Such impressive results were achieved because Xuanda was really farming, planting the fields when he came, and collecting taxes according to the taxes set by the imperial court.
Wang Chonggu also put forward his own opinion, how to judge who did well and who did not do well in farming, clearing the land, and returning the land? How to judge this standard? Just look at population flow. If the population flows to his rule, it must mean that he has done something right, which can be used as a supplement to the examination method.
In the memorial, Wang Chonggu also looked forward to this year's prospects. It is expected that he will lead 220,000 landless tenants and tourists to further cultivate, restore at least 10,000 hectares of farming in Xuanda, build another 300 nurseries and fire rooms, and set up 10 more Tens of thousands of acres of farmland has returned to its heyday before the 29th year of Jiajing's reign. Wang Chonggu said that he should try his best to do his job as a governor.
In the end, Wang Chonggu hoped that the little emperor could help recover some losses.
"Let the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen accept the case. The money must go somewhere." Zhu Yijun finally made the decision and asked the court to come forward to recover part of the losses for Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei.
The four words of celebration, reward, power and punishment are the main means of adjusting conflicts.
There is a long table in front of Zhu Yijun. On the long table is a three-foot-long sealed water channel. At the end of the water channel there is a wind pill and a water pill for measuring wind speed and water flow speed. Zhu Yijun wants to understand one question, that is, why can hard sails Traveling with the wind from all directions.
Especially when there is a headwind, why can a hard sail sail against the wind?
His tool is a small sailboat with a weight and a hard sail. Daming's hard sail is a parallel sail, that is, a bamboo strip is installed at a certain distance in the horizontal direction of the sail surface to form a The purpose of a parallel skeleton is to sail in all directions, so that it can sail when the wind blows from all directions.
This is a very magical technology, and Zhu Yijun plans to study and understand the reason behind it.
On the third day of March, the spring was bright, and the little emperor ended the court meeting as always.
In the case of Wang Yaozhuo's family, everyone had been confiscated, and the family of the Lu family was directly confiscated. However, the rich and powerful people in the poor area did not have much profit and water after squeezing them dry. The Lu family was exiled to the border of Yunnan, among the primitive forests. The big boa constrictor bared its teeth.
Zhang Siwei's case has also come to a further conclusion. They are all family thieves. Behind these shopkeepers' accounts are the Zhang family and the Wang family. Uncles and uncles are embezzling wantonly inside. As for how to solve it, it is difficult for upright officials to resolve household affairs. The court finally It was decided to let Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu hold a family meeting to solve the problem themselves.
As for the shopkeepers and accountants, they were all imprisoned and served five years, which meant five years of hard labor.
And Zhang Siwei's case was published in Dibao again, which was a round of follow-up reporting. Everyone became more aware of the role of the tax office.
"I'll take your leave." Everyone was about to leave, but Zhu Yijun stood up and said with a smile: "My dear friends, please stay, I have discovered something interesting recently."
"Zhang Daban, please call the emperor's uncle here and bear witness together. It's really weird. I can't understand it at all. Please help me clear up my doubts."
Upon hearing the words "clear the doubts", the courtiers immediately became very energetic. How could the emperor's doubts be solved so easily.
"When I first started, I was always curious about how hard sails can move against the wind. Generally speaking, the wind blows the boat forward, which is normal, but it is really strange for me to be able to move forward against the wind, so I did it A series of experiments finally confirmed some things, but as Mr. said, contradictions are always like this. Once a contradiction is solved, endless problems will arise."
"The teacher said: You know something when you are born, you know it when you learn it, and you know it when you are trapped. The teacher also said: You can't understand it by its name, you must seek its reason."
"The teacher said: If you are not confused at forty, you know how it is; at fifty you know the destiny, because it is the way it is. The destiny is called nature, and the will of nature is called Tao."
"The teacher also said: This is what governs a country and studies. If you know how it is, you also know why it is so, and then you can know its inevitability."
Zhang Juzheng, who was called Sir, was already numb. The little emperor really studied the principles he taught the little emperor seriously! It was all taught by him!
When talking about the Analects of Confucius, Mencius and Doctrine of the Mean, Zhang Juzheng once said in order to explain clearly the principles of governing the country:
The master of Ming knows what it is and why it is what it is, and then knows that it is inevitable. He will respect the principle of being honest and honest to prevent slander, and grasp the power and principles to eliminate the arrogance. Therefore, there is no room for slander, and the evildoer will hide himself. Those who judge and govern the body should distinguish it.
Knowing that this thing exists, knowing why it happened, and knowing what will happen if you do this are three cognitive processes.
If we can know its inevitability, then the spirit of moderation in the court can block the atmosphere of excluding dissidents and slander, and we can take the power of celebrating power and punishment into our own hands to eliminate the spirit of disobedience, and then slander traitors who cannot stand up. In the court, if there are more gentlemen than villains, and evil men lurk themselves, the world will be in order.
The little emperor really cannot do anything without his husband.
Zhang Juzheng said that he was not that powerful. He just wanted to teach the little emperor to govern the country. That was all, and he knew how to do it. He was never omniscient and omnipotent. The little emperor raised him to a level that did not belong to him. .
"Sir?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said with a bright face.
Zhang Juzheng said bravely: "I am here."
"Sir, did you say so?" Zhu Yijun continued to ask.
Zhang Juzheng said: "I told you."
"Sir, please bring all the courtiers to the side hall." Zhu Yijun stood up and walked to the side hall. The young eunuchs opened the heavy curtains, and the early spring sunshine poured into the side hall. There were a lot of people who could understand, There are incomprehensible machines in them, with different shapes.
Zhu Yijun stood under the sun, inspected the machinery to be demonstrated today, went over the draft he had prepared, and saw Zhu Zaiyu walking into the side hall.
"This is a water column, this is a wooden ball. Ministers, please don't dazzle your eyes and witness this magical scene." Zhu Yijun held a palm-sized paulownia ball in his hand. This wooden ball was hollow and not very heavy.
The water column was about as high as a person, shooting upwards from the middle of the wooden basin, and the water splashed into the wooden basin below. Zhu Yijun casually placed the wooden ball on the water column, and the wooden ball began to roll continuously. But it stayed firmly above the water column, spinning rapidly.
The water dragon plays with the pearl, and the wooden ball keeps spinning, but it just won't run out or fall.
Zhu Yijun ignored the stunned expressions of everyone and continued: "Sir, come forward and block the water flow with the back of your hand."
Zhang Juzheng walked to the water basin and stretched out his hand. The water flow was blocked, and the wooden ball fell steadily into Zhang Juzheng's hands. Zhang Juzheng shook the wooden ball in his hand, convinced that this was not a juggling act or a magic trick. The wooden ball is just an ordinary wooden ball.
"Sir, please put the ball up again." Zhu Yijun said unhurriedly.
Zhang Juzheng is already used to it. If the little emperor says that he is the reincarnation of Emperor Shenwu, Zhang Juzheng will shout loudly, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
When Zhang Juzheng thought that the little emperor's work had reached his limit, the little emperor could always perform work that Zhang Juzheng had never seen before.
Ordinary water flow and ordinary wooden balls were combined together, and a ball that rotated and stabilized among the water flow appeared in front of everyone.
"Wan Shangshu, come and try." Zhu Yijun took three steps back. As the emperor's master, Zhang Juzheng could of course get within three feet of the emperor, but Wan Shihe did not have this qualification.
Wan Shihe came to the water basin, tried again and again, shook the wooden ball in his hand vigorously a few times, and fell silent. They were very ordinary things, without any consecration or magic...or rather, they were magic!
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "The water flow is fine, but what about the wind?"
Zhu Yijun came to the other side. Xu Jue pulled the bellows, and the whistling wind blew vertically upward from the vent. The little emperor threw the wooden ball up casually. The wind blew the wooden ball, and the wooden ball rotated and kept in the wind. stable state.
Zhu Yijun put away the wooden ball and signaled Xu Jue to stop the bellows. He said with a smile: "Someone wants to say, what's weird about this? Isn't it because the wind or water is holding up the wooden ball, so the wooden ball can't fall?" But why didn’t it get blown away but stayed here firmly? Shouldn’t it be washed away or blown away?”
"Actually, this is not a Taoist technique, but the infinite principle of all things. My teacher said that cognition is a shield and practice is a spear. When we practice it, we discover all kinds of weird phenomena that conflict with cognition. Contradictions explain everything one after another.”
"My lords, please come with me."
Zhu Yijun stood next to another water channel. The water flow was steady and the wind was blowing. Zhu Yijun put two wooden boat models in, and the two wooden boats slowly leaned together.
"Anyone who punts knows that two boats cannot be too close together, otherwise they will definitely collide. This is called boat sucking. Two boats running parallel is a taboo for punting, as it will capsize." Zhu Yijun said while looking at all the court officials. :"why?"
"I know why this is the case."
Zhu Yijun started walking again, came to the closed waterway, and said with a smile: "Our Ming Dynasty's sails have been hard sails since ancient times. The skeleton of the hard sail will support the sailboat with a concave and convex surface. So at this time, and this The concave and convex surface is the biggest secret of a hard sail sailing against the wind.”
Zhu Yijun put the model in his hand into the water, and then hung the hooks with cotton threads on the boat's hanging rings.
There are eight hooks on the cotton thread, and an iron piece is fixed at the end of the cotton thread, which can continuously add weights. The force on the boat can be visually observed through the specific number of eight weights.
Zhu Yijun began to demonstrate the soft sail in the Thai and Western boating method. While demonstrating, he said: "This is a soft sail. When the wind comes from the north, the weight in the south direction is pulled. When the wind comes from the south, the weight in the north direction is pulled. The sail and the wind When vertical, we kept adding weights to keep the boat stationary and set it to a standard amount.”
Zhu Yijun adjusted the sail and signaled the officials to observe the standard height. The wind blowing the sail will inevitably produce a force. When the sail is perpendicular to the wind, the force is the largest and the most weight can be pulled.
"If the angle between the course and the wind is 45 degrees, and the angle between the soft sail and the wind is 15 degrees, the ship can still sail slowly at this time. We added weights and found that it was only 6.5% of the standard amount. , the soft sail is not able to sail against the wind, but the speed is too slow, only 6.5%, and can only move forward at a zigzag turtle speed, and usually the wind is changeable, so in actual sailing, the A soft sail cannot sail against the wind.”
"And we took out a hard sail." Zhu Yijun replaced the experimental materials, fixed the hook, and said with a smile: "When the angle between the ship's course and the wind is 45 degrees, the angle between the hard sail and the wind is 15 degrees. , a magical scene happened.”
The hard sail directly drags a standard weight forward. In the case of headwind, the hard sail actually produces greater force than when the sail is perpendicular to the wind!
Zhu Yijun kept adding weights, and finally the hard sailboat reached a force balance at 1.3 standard weights.
Stiff sails run faster against the wind.
There was an uproar, and the courtiers talked about it. They looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. They were sailing too fast.
When the wind speed is constant, a hard sail can run faster against the wind than with the wind. No matter where you go to explain it, they will never believe it unless they see it with their own eyes.
But the facts are there.
Zhu Yijun picked up the hard sailboat, removed the hooks one by one, hung the underwater balance wing with a streamlined symmetrical wing with concave and convex surfaces on the model, and placed a counterweight on the side of the boat. Laughing "In fact, we can also increase the speed of the boat, and when we install an accessory on the bottom of the boat similar to the concave and convex surface of a hard sail, the speed will be even faster," he said.
This time, Zhu Yijun put the boat into a three-foot-long closed waterway, adjusted the sails of the boat, fixed them, and opened the air outlet.
The wind blew against the model, and the ship began to sail quickly, completing the three-foot journey in a short time.
Zhu Yijun picked up his small model, took out a book of observation data and handed it to Zhang Hong, asking Zhang Hong to circulate it to the courtiers and continued: "With the underwater symmetrical balance wing and hard sail, The wind speed is 24 to 40 miles per hour, and the ship can sail at 48 to 80 miles per hour, and the ship speed will be twice the wind speed."
"This is a hard sail. Not only can it sail against the wind, it can even run faster than the wind, more than twice as fast."
"It is a pity that it cannot be used on large sails. At most, it can be used on a sampan with two people, because a torque will be generated between the sail and the balance wing. The sampan with two people can also be balanced manually. Any bigger boat would surely capsize.”
"And these two crew members need to be fatter to be able to hold the boat."
"So, I added two more balance wings on both sides of the ship."
Zhu Yijun took out two more balance wings and placed them on both sides of the boat. At this point, the model of a hydrofoil sailboat was completely completed. Zhu Yijun put the model in his hand into the water again and opened the air outlet.
A boat with two horizontal balance wings, one vertical balance wing, and a rigid sail sped out on the water, and an incredible scene appeared in front of everyone.
"It's floating!" Wan Shihe pointed at the boat and said loudly in shock: "The boat is floating, have you seen it? The boat is flying!"
The boat is flying.
Only the vertical balance wing was still in the water, and the entire hull was floating in the air and moving forward rapidly. Then, under the action of inertia, it hit the wooden board at the end point hard and fell apart after the collision. In the closed glass waterway Floating and sinking.
Zhu Yijun turned off the air vent very calmly, nodded and said: "Indeed, it is flying."
"This, this, this, me, me, me..." Wan Shihe pointed at the smashed wooden pieces, looking left and right, his face full of horror. Is this a Taoist technique passed down from Emperor Zhenwu, or some kind of demonic technique? How is it possible for a ship to fly and move forward?
Not only Wan Shihe, but also the court officials looked at each other with disbelief on their faces. Is it so miraculous that all things are infinite?
Zhu Yijun went on to say: "Mr. He once said: If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. A summer insect cannot talk about the ice, a frog in a well cannot talk about the sea, and an ordinary person cannot talk about the Tao. People's greatest fear is the unknown. When we don't know, we will You may find it scary and naturally resist, but in fact, if you understand the infinite principles behind it, you will find that it is nothing more than that.”
"Everyone, come with me."
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty led a group of civil and military officials to another wind channel that was less than half a foot long, wide and high. There was no water in this wind channel, only a ship model with two horizontal balance wings.
"The Bafang hook is responsible for maintaining balance and keeping the model from moving back and forth. There is also a hook at the bottom of the ship." After Zhu Yijun installed all the weight iron pieces, he opened the air vent and began to lower the bottom weight iron piece little by little. It was not until the ship with horizontal balance wings slowly left the contact surface and floated in the air that he stopped holding the weight in his hand.
Keep the small plane in a balanced state, suspended in the wind duct.
An incredible and magical scene truly appeared in front of everyone.
Zhu Yijun said with emotion: "Why is this happening? Everything starts with sailing against the wind."
"With the support of bamboo strips, the hard sail becomes a concave and convex surface. When the wind blows over the concave surface, the speed will slow down, and when the wind blows over the convex surface, the speed will speed up, thus creating a lift. and the driving force, which is the fundamental cause of all the above phenomena.”
"The wooden ball is stable in the current and wind, and the hard sail sails even faster in headwinds. With the addition of underwater balance wings, it will be faster, and with the addition of horizontal balance wings, it will fly on the water, all because of the hard sail Because of the concave and convex surfaces, the wind will speed up when blowing over the concave surface and slow down when blowing over the convex surface.”
This is why airplanes fly.
A hydrofoil sailboat can be seen as four wings responsible for balance on the boat. Even so, it is only a small sailboat that sails very fast. It cannot be made into a large ship made of hundreds or even thousands of materials. Big ships are completely different from small boats, and small boats and models are different. completely different.
Zhu Yijun said with emotion: "My dear ministers, I know this and the reason for it, but I still don't know its necessity. What is the reason for this magical phenomenon of concave and convex surfaces? How can the concave and convex surfaces be curved under the same conditions? To obtain greater lifting force? What other magical applications does this concave and convex surface have? I still don’t know how inevitable it is.”
"Who can answer my questions?"
No one answered. The courtiers were still studying the problem of the concave and convex surfaces. The emperor asked what would happen after knowing the reason. Who can explain it clearly?
It was also the first time that they knew about the magic of the concave and convex surface of the hard sail.
Seeing that no one responded, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Send this hydrofoil sailboat to Songjiang Shipyard and let them try to build it. If there really is a hydrofoil sailboat that can sail at this speed, no matter how lucky it is, The goods are great even for conveying news.”
"The road is long and long, and I will search for it high and low. Lord Gonggun, I send this sentence to encourage you all."
The courtiers left the side hall of the Wenhua Palace with questions in their heads. They were not confused at forty and knew destiny at fifty. The little emperor used his well-practiced iron fist to punch everyone's ideological seal, and the world Infinite principles can actually hold so many mysteries.
Zhu Yijun held the model of the hydrofoil sailboat in his hand, looked at Zhu Zaiyu and said, "Uncle Emperor, can you solve these doubts for me?"
"I...try your best." Zhu Zaiyu was under great pressure for a while. After Kuangsheng arrived in the capital, he really couldn't get mad anymore. This little emperor who did not do his job always asked many questions that made people scratch their bald heads and could not answer them.
