Chapter 1254 Postscript 110 · New Rhythm Balance Prosperity

For the scientific community's request to change the measurement unit, the court and ministers promised very much.

Because Xie Yan gives the solution very in line with nature.

One of 20 million in the meridian of Luoyang is 1 meter.

Based on this as a standard, the division is divided into rice, centimeters, and millimeters.

The weight of 1 cubic meters is determined to determine that its weight is 1 kg. This is divided into grams and milligrams.

What a heavenly man!

Although Taizu and Taizong repeatedly emphasized not to engage in the sense of people, people still pursue "the unity of heaven and man", which is a deep -rooted philosophical thought.

At the Qianqian meeting, the courts of the court spoke enthusiastically.

"Since ancient times, the accumulation of 尺 is a ruler. The seven -foot men of the Qin and Han dynasties have been five feet now. The meridian length of the earth will not change."

"It is extremely. When these lengths and weight units are determined, my measuring measurement is not easy."

"Did the meridian length test?"

"Haha, Zhang Xianggong is a scholar of liberal arts, and I don't know if this is normal. The monks in the Tang Dynasty had measured the meridial length. When I was in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, when the Taiquan was drawn the map of the world, it was calculated in the 27 observation points across the country. Once.

"The measurement results of the Daming and the Tang Dynasty are the same?"

"Different. The meridian calculated by the Tang Dynasty is more than 40 miles from Daming."

"Presumably it's my Ming's more accurate."

"Because of the large difference in measurement of the two dynasties, Taizong sent someone to test again in his later years. The observation point increased to 50 places. The northernmost side reached the North Sea and the southern part of the city. The western observation point in Pingzhou, Japan, is located in the crushed leaf city of the Seven River. "

"Two times before and after, the result is the same?"

"They are different. They are different from the Tang Dynasty, but also different from Daming for the first time."

"Ah? How can this be?"

"There are always errors in measurement. Daming's two measuring meridian differences in the meridian is less than 10 miles. After decades, it has been measured twice on a large scale. average value."

"In other words, not completely accurate?"

"It is already very accurate. There are about 40,000 miles connecting the duality lines of the north and south of the earth. What is the difference every few degrees? A divorce of 20 million as a length unit can be ignored."

"Why did Xie Moma use Mi and Klai as a new scientific unit?"

"It is to distinguish the title of traditional measurement. After all, the people have to continue using the previous measures."

"Ke has a limited meaning.

"Since ancient times, it is a ruler. Haha, the horse simply uses the rice to watch the length."

"..."

With the twelve average laws, the ministers are now very easy to talk about measures.

Anyway, both units are parallel.

The law changes, and the measurement can also be changed.

Because of the ancient Chinese measuring balance, it was originally obtained based on Ru Lu.

First use music to make standard laws.

Because Gong Yin is a monarch, the central Huangzhong law tube of the palace is the standard device.

Choose 90 grains of rice and sizes, which are placed and arranged, probably the length of Huang Zhongli.

According to the length of this kind of rice rice, one grain of rice is 1 point, ten grain rice is 1 inch, and hundreds of rice is 1 feet.

The volume and weight unit is similar.

The volume of one yellow bell tube is 1, ten -in -line is equal to 1 liter, and ten liters are equal to 1 bucket.

One yellow bell tube tubes (1200 capsules), which weighs 12 baht. Multiply 2 is 1 or two.

The 90 and 1200 grains here are the standards of the Han Dynasty.

Although the tone of Huang Zhongli has not changed, the length and diameter ratio can be changed. When the imperial court formulates the measurement, the length, weight, and volume unit size also changes with Huang Zhongli.

The Lulu of Music is the mother of China.

The amount of rhythm is balanced, and the "law" is always in front of the "measurement of balance".

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand. Why does Empress Ye use the twelve average laws? Some ministers' reactions will be so big?

Ru Lu has been settled over, no need to blame the pot. So it doesn't matter now, but all have political achievements, maybe you can still leave the name as a result.

Nympho

In the blink of an eye, public schools began to take summer vacations across the country.

Scholars came to Luoyang one after another, participated in the scientific conference once many years, and selected the Gold, Silver and Copper Awards of the Royal Society -the conference last year, was temporarily launched. This year's conference was regularly held.

Discussing a scientific measurement unit, it took only one day to pass it.

Almost all votes passed.

This thing is so easy to use, everyone is not a fool.

Immediately afterwards, a group of top mathematicians and physicists, through the length of the first -line meridian measurement measured by Daming, quickly produced length, weight, and volume standards.

To this end, the Empress Dowager Ye temporarily held the DPRK.

In front of the civil and military officials, the standard device is placed.

The ritual officer pointed at the twelve legal tubes and said: "This set of law tube is based on the twelve average law firm. From now on, the traditional twelve laws do not contrary to the twelve average laws. The ceremonies of the DPRK, Oath Division, Capture, Passing, etc. still use the traditional twelve laws.

Another ceremonial officer, holding a tray covered with yellow cloth, carried twelve newly made pipes and walked slowly in front of the civil and military officials.

Then, the ceremonial officer pointed to a set of standard rulers: "This set of rulers is obtained by dividing the prime meridian. From now on, the scientific research, experiments, records, teaching, and application of the Ming Dynasty must all use this set of rulers."

Another ceremonial officer walked in front of the civil and military officials holding rulers.

Then came a set of weights and measuring cups: "This set of copper rules (weights) is calculated using the new ruler and water. From now on, scientific research in the Ming Dynasty..."

After all the displays were completed, the ministers shouted long live.

Queen Mother Ye smiled, feeling quite satisfied.

Although the ministers shouted long live the little emperor, these new musical scales and weights were all made by her.

A queen mother who did not oppose the cabinet's opinions very much must show her presence from time to time.

Otherwise, people would only know that there was a cabinet and would gradually forget that there was a queen mother.

There is no mistake in the poem, the content, and the book in the forum!

All the officials in the palace looked at the empress dowager, and when they were swept by her eyes, they quickly lowered their heads to avoid her.

They had a good impression of the empress dowager Ye. After all, she never messed around and respected the opinions of officials. Everyone understood that she was a little bit temperamental occasionally.

Even though many ministers did not support the promulgation of the new law of scales and measures, as long as the original set was not abolished, everyone thought that the empress dowager was being temperamental again.

It is normal for women to have a temper, and they just need to coax them.

However, there are also some upright ministers who cast their eyes on Xie Yan who was attending the grand court meeting.

This son-in-law Xie is very restless.

Whether it is the production of the twelve-tone equal temperament pipe or the development of this set of scientific weights and measures, it is all related to son-in-law Xie.

Although he did not participate in politics, he flattered the empress dowager Ye.

A standard flatterer!

We must keep an eye on this person at all times. If he dares to interfere in government affairs in the future, he should be impeached at the first opportunity. Otherwise, if things go on like this, he might even encourage the Queen Mother to do something absurd.

Since it is a grand court meeting, the envoys of the vassal states must also attend. At this moment, they are all standing in the square outside the palace.

The envoys of the vassal states were all told by the etiquette officer that they would soon receive a new set of standard instruments for measuring scales and weights.

Because the suzerain state has made changes, the vassal states must also change accordingly.

For example, the Ming Dynasty would produce a calendar for the following year every year, and generally send samples to the vassal states half a year in advance. The vassal states would get the samples, print them out, and wait for use the next year.

The Japanese student who was a guest envoy watched the etiquette officer holding the pitch pipe in his hand and made up his mind to learn the twelve equal temperaments and their instruments.

Then he would return home quickly and immediately become the master of Japanese new music.

Maya is not a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for the time being, but Coco Kaba is very curious.

He has learned Chinese and has been studying mathematics and astronomy in the Ming Dynasty. He will have to wait two or three months before boarding the ship back to America.

This guy stood at the end of the square. The ceremonial officer walked up to him and completed his mission.

Coco Kaba stopped the ceremonial officer and asked him about the situation. Then he was surprised and said, "Can the Ming scholars measure the north-south length of the earth?"

The ceremonial officer laughed and said, "You actually know the earth."

Coco Kaba said, "I have studied Ming astronomy for half a year in Sifang Pavilion."

The ceremonial officer said, "The length of the longitude was measured hundreds of years ago, but the error was still relatively large at that time."

"The people of Ming Dynasty are really wise." Coco Kaba sighed.

When he returns to Maya, he will also spread this more advanced astronomy.

Of course, Mayan mythology must also be fine-tuned, otherwise the heliocentric theory and the geocentric theory will easily go wrong.

After a while, the grand court meeting ended.

The ministers lined up to leave the court one by one. Only Xie Yan was left behind and followed Empress Dowager Ye to the Chuigong Hall.

When they came to the Chuigong Hall and sat down, Empress Dowager Ye said, "This is the peace lock I asked the craftsman to make. You can take it back and put it on the child."

A female official walked up to Xie Yan holding the peace lock.

Xie Yan bowed and thanked him immediately.

This peace lock is made of gold and jade, and looks very beautiful.

Empress Dowager Ye became more and more optimistic about Xie Yan. After chatting about family matters, she suddenly asked: "The old president said that you should let him make up for the Yaoyu Bachelor and give up this Bachelor's promotion?"

Xie Yan was no longer afraid of the empress dowager. He said with a smile: "After the reform of the Bachelor's system, there will be multiple types of five-level Bachelors. I plan to get all kinds of bachelor's degrees in science. After getting the title of Bachelor of Science, I will try to get the title of Bachelor of Arts."

Empress Dowager Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are really ambitious and your ideas are different from ordinary people."

The attendant had just sat down and was still fiddling with his pencil case. Hearing this, he looked at Xie Yan in surprise.

He admired him a little.

At the same time, he also felt that Xie Yan was a lunatic.

Moreover, he began to like this lunatic a little, and planned to write a biography for Prince Consort Xie in the future.

The private biographies left by the historians are important materials for revising history.
