Lishui County Night Market.
In an open-air wonton shop, Su Jing and Zhu Biao sat down casually.
"How's it going? How does it feel to be a telescope?"
Su Jing took a bite of wonton. The skin was thin and the filling was quite filling.
Zhu Biao answered truthfully: "I'm very tired, and it feels quite strenuous."
There is really no room for sloppiness in the process of polishing lenses, as anything too much will ruin it.
For a teenage boy like Zhu Biao, it was quite a test.
Su Jing smiled and said: "Then if you finished it so quickly, I guess your father will be happy for a while."
"Thanks to Master Su for inventing this telescope."
Zhu Biao said immediately.
Did I invent it?
Su Jing was stunned, but he had not explained it to Zhu Biao.
"Actually, I don't think I invented it."
Su Jing continued to eat wontons and replied.
Su Jing had no intention of being a copycat, nor did she intend to keep all scientific and technological inventions to herself.
This is not what he wants in life.
"Huh? Su Jing didn't invent the telescope? Who was that?"
Zhu Biao said a little surprised.
Su Jing smiled and said: "It was invented by a man named Hans Liebersch. He first discovered that two lenses can be used to see distant scenery clearly. After being inspired, he invented the telescope."
"After that, some people continued to develop and improve it, and ordinary telescopes evolved into astronomical telescopes."
Hansi?
Li Poxi?
When Zhu Biao heard this name, he felt a little weird: "Master Su, who is this Li Poxi?"
"It's not Liebersch, it's Hans Liebersch. He's a Westerner. Their names are a little different from ours. Hans is the first name and Liebersch is the surname."
Su Jing explained to Zhu Biao: "He was originally an optical shop owner. By coincidence, he discovered that two lenses superimposed together can see things in the distance."
Su Jing couldn't remember where she saw this story. Anyway, it was either in a physics book or some after-school stories.
Zhu Biao frowned and said doubtfully: "Optical shop? What is this?"
The Westerner Zhu Biao did know a little bit about it, and it was recorded in some ancient books.
Zhu Biao didn't know about this shop.
Su Jing hululu finished a bowl of wontons, ordered another bowl, and continued: "It's just a shop that sells glasses."
Sell your eyes!
Zhu Biao's expression changed, and he was a little surprised and said: "Master Su, do these Westerners still sell their eyes?"
He was really frightened. He had known that those Westerners drank hair and blood, but he didn't expect the horror to be so terrifying that even his eyes were sold.
"Ha ha."
When Su Jing heard this, she immediately laughed.
Zhu Biao asked in confusion: "Master Su, why are you laughing? Did the student say something wrong?"
Su Jing took a breath and said: "It's nothing, you just heard wrong. I'm talking about glasses, which are lenses made of glass. When placed in front of your eyes, they have the effect of improving eyesight."
Hearing this, Zhu Biao also realized that he had just misunderstood, and his face showed a little embarrassment.
But now Zhu Biao is even more curious.
"Glass lenses? Improve eyesight? Can this glass also be used as medicine?"
Zhu Biao had doubts again.
His idea is also very simple. If you can't see, you are sick. Glasses can improve eyesight, so naturally they are used as medicine.
Su Jing shook her head and said: "No, glass is not a medicinal stone. Niu Yi, remember the convex lenses and concave lenses I told you before."
"Of course I remember it. What Master Su said was an eye-opener for the students. How can we forget it."
Zhu Biao replied immediately.
When he was studying at that time, he was asked a lot of questions, which left a deep impression on him.
Su Jing continued: "The human eye is actually a convex lens. The reason why you cannot see clearly is that there is a problem with the focal length adjustment of the lens. These glasses help adjust the focal length, so that you can see clearly."
“Glasses are to the eyes what crutches are to the legs.”
This is the knowledge that Su Jing systematically shared with Zhu Biao before, and Zhu Biao understood it very quickly.
"That's it. Teacher Su is very knowledgeable and the students have been taught well."
Zhu Biao nodded, admiring Su Jing even more.
Su Jing added a few spoons of vinegar to the newly served wontons and said lightly: "I just read a few more useless books."
"Master Su is too modest."
Zhu Biao immediately said: "What Master Su has learned is all knowledge that can be used by the common people."
When Su Jing heard this, she felt that she was being lifted up so high by Zhu Biao.
"Okay, okay, your teacher, I'm not as good at boasting as you are, so I'll be fine."
Su Jing continued to eat wontons, which was very satisfying.
at the same time.
In the Fengxian Hall of the Forbidden City, Zhu Yuanzhang was reading Zhu Biao's latest letter.
This has become a necessary activity for him after reviewing memorials every day.
It can only be said that only an iron man like Lao Zhu has such ability. He has been busy with state affairs day and night, and he can't wait to make decisions by himself.
In this way, I still have extra energy to read Zhu Biao's letters.
It's no wonder that Lao Zhu became the emperor who deposed the prime minister in the history of feudal dynasties.
But his descendants do not have such ability as him.
The emergence of the cabinet system was, to some extent, established because the emperor could not stand the high intensity of government affairs and was just trying to be lazy.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand what was written in Zhu Biao's letter, mainly the content of the three major industries that Su Jing and Zhu Biao talked about before.
The content of the three major industries is mainly related to the economy.
When Zhu Yuanzhang first watched it, he didn't really care.
This is still due to his prejudice against businessmen. This relatively empty theory is very common among Zhu Yuanzhang.
But when Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Su Jing defined agriculture as the primary industry and bluntly said that the primary industry is the foundation, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was a little different.
"Well, Su Jing, you are not useless at all."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile on his lips.
He has always firmly believed that agriculture is the top priority and the foundation of Ming Dynasty.
Any commercial activities are just tricks played by businessmen. They will not add wealth to the country at all, but will only make farmers deceived and exploited.
To this day, he still remembers Su Jing's ridicule to him when he met Su Jing for the first time.
From that time on, Su Jing was hated by Lao Zhu.
Now seeing that Su Jing put agriculture in such an important position, Lao Zhu suddenly felt like Su Jing was admitting his mistake.
Very cool!
However, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw Su Jing's discussion on the secondary industry, his expression immediately became formal.
The secondary industry determines a country's national strength and modernization level.
As the leader of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu naturally knew how important a country's national power was. Only when the national power was strong enough could the country be stable and sustainable.
The more he looked at this, the more hesitant Lao Zhu felt.
Is this so-called industry really so important?
Zhu Biao's letters contain not only Su Jing's discussion, but also his own understanding.
Zhu Biao highly praised Su Jing's words.
He even directly suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang that he should vigorously develop industry in Ming Dynasty and promote the growth of Ming Dynasty's national power.
this.
Lao Zhu muttered.
Putting this aside for the time being, Lao Zhu continued to look back.
Su Jing explained the relationship between the three industries and its significance to the Ming Dynasty quite clearly.
Even though this was not Lao Zhu's area of expertise, he still knew the word.
According to Su Jing, the importance of the secondary industry to the Ming Dynasty is too great.
But how to do it specifically was not mentioned in Su Jing's discussion.
"Why is this kid Su Jing doing all these nonsense?"
Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself, not quite accepting this thing in his heart.
But he also knew that Su Jing was not just someone who made false claims. These things were taught to Zhu Biao, not to guide Ming Dynasty on how to develop.
You still need to find someone who understands.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and after all, only one person was more suitable.
Sincerity, Liu Bowen!
After thinking for a moment, Lao Zhu decided to summon Liu Bowen.
In this Uncle Chengyi's Mansion, Liu Bowen lived a comfortable life by reading, raising flowers, and sipping tea every day.
But these are Liu Bowen's superficial situations. In fact, he has been carefully studying Su Jing's theories.
The more he studied, the more he discovered that the future of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be right in front of him.
What lasts forever is just a passing cloud.
In the face of the wheel of history, no dynasty can escape the fate of destruction.
What he wants to know more is what kind of world will the next time productivity tools appear after feudal society.
"Uncle Sincerity, His Majesty has specially summoned you to the palace."
The appearance of the eunuch who delivered the order forced Liu Bowen to interrupt his thinking.
"I accept the order."
Liu Bowen accepted the order and immediately got on the carriage prepared by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Not long after, he arrived at Fengxian Hall.
"Bowen, you are finally here."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Liu Bowen, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
If Liu Bowen hadn't been aware of his situation, he might have thought that he was deeply favored by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
Liu Bowen said respectfully.
Although he has understood Su Jing's shocking theories, Liu Bowen is still a person.
He also has his own wife, children and family, so he will not do anything extreme or disrespectful.
He also wanted to keep it useful, study more of Su Jing's wisdom, and leave something for future generations.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Liu Bowen: "Bowen, come and take a look. This Su Jing has done some weird things again, so you can help me take a look."
Su Jing!
As soon as Liu Bowen heard about Su Jing, excitement flashed across his face.
In order to avoid Lao Zhu's suspicion and suspicion, he did not dare to ask anything about Su Jing.
Although I really wanted to know what else Su Jing had to say, she could only pretend to be doing nothing.
Now, he had another chance to understand Su Jing's wisdom, and he was extremely excited.
However, Liu Bowen did not dare to show off too much, so he could only nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
He came to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk and carefully read what Zhu Biao had written.
The theory of three major industries!
Liu Bowen carefully read it from beginning to end, not daring to make any mistakes.
His brows furrowed for a while, then relaxed again.
Zhu Yuanzhang was waiting aside. Although he did not disturb him, he kept observing the changes in Liu Bowen's expression.
After more than one stick of incense, Liu Bowen put down the letter and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, I have finished reading."
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Quick, Bowen, tell me, what do you think of Su Jing's discussion of these three major industries?"
As for Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang quite trusted his talents.
Trust to the point of suspicion.
This also shows that Liu Bowen's ability is definitely the best in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Zhuge Liang divides the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen dominates the world. This is not a rumor.
When Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand Su Jing's theory, it was natural for him to think of Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen bowed towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I cannot understand Mr. Su's discussion of these three major industries."
can't read?
Zhu Yuanzhang's originally expectant expression immediately turned into horror, and then from horror into anger.
Liu Bowen actually said he couldn't understand?
This is so sincere, Liu Ji!
