Chapter 295: Popular Science Activities at the Classic Seminar

Yang Jie fiddled with a dead snake at the lecture, and then fiddled with a thermometer at the lecture, asking the ministers to take their temperature.

"What? How, everyone? Are you still healthy?" Yang Jinge asked.

"Your Majesty, I am still healthy."

"Your Majesty, I'm fine."

"Your Majesty, I am almost the same."

All the ministers answered one after another.

"Haha, it's normal for between 36 and 37. If anyone doesn't have one, it's because of the physical problems," Yang Jingai explained with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I seem to be as high as thirty-eight degrees!" said a minister covered in sweat, "fearing".

"Thirty-eight degrees? I'm sure it's right? Take the thermometer to me quickly." Yang Jing thought it was a process problem of the thermometer. After all, it was made by hand, so there would be certain errors. Therefore, when talking about the body temperature of the human body, it was between 36 and 37 degrees. Even if there was a certain error, it would not be possible to reach 38 degrees. Now a minister told him that there was 38 degrees. Yang Jing thought there was something wrong with the thermometer.

Yang Jie took the thermometer and took a look. Although he had been away from the fat minister for a long time, the thermometer index was still close to 38 degrees. Yang Jie's first idea was that either this guy had a fever or his own thermometer manufacturing process failed, resulting in too much error.

"Da Pei, find another thermometer for the Qing family and continue to measure it. No, put a few more thermometers to see what was wrong." Yang Jie ordered immediately.

"As for your order, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen immediately directed the eunuch and stuffed several thermometers into the fat minister's arm.

Now it is June and July, and the hottest season of each year, the sun's heat penetrates the roof. Even if the Wenhua Temple is covered by the roof, many people still sweat on their foreheads, and this fat minister is one of them.

After a while, Wang Chengen directed the eunuch to take out all the thermometers. This time it was not just a thermometer, but four or five, not only the left arm, but also a few inside the right arm.

The eunuchs picked up the thermometers and looked like Wang Chengen checked one by one. The more they checked, the more they smiled on their faces, because each thermometer had as many as thirty-eight degrees. In other words, it was not a thermometer problem, but a fat man’s problem. According to the emperor, the fat man was sick.

Wang Chengen reported with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have seen all the servants, each one above thirty-eight degrees. In this way, it should be said that Lord Wang is sick."

After hearing Wang Chengen say that the thermometer is fine, Yang Jie breathed a sigh of relief. When he launched the thermometer himself, it would be boring if he made a joke.

"Since Wang Aiqing is sick, the imperial physician, immediately check Wang Aiqing." Yang Jie immediately said loudly.

"As for your order," the imperial physician agreed immediately. The imperial physician who had just dissected a snake was washed his hands and came over to take the pulse of the chubby Lord Wang, who was sweating on his forehead.

The imperial physician took his pulse for a while, and the more he took his pulse, the more “stars” there appeared in his eyes. After a while, the imperial physician reported enthusiastically: "Your Majesty, this is true. Lord Wang is indeed sick. It should be too hot and he has heat stroke. Just rest in a shaded place and take some heat-clearing and orifice-opening medicines such as Marine Powder, and it will be fine, and it will not be a big deal."

After the imperial physician's words, all the ministers made a loud noise. Without a doctor, a small glass tube would tell whether a person was sick. This was indeed magical. They all held the glass tubes in their hands and observed carefully. This was definitely a treasure!

"Quiet, be quiet." The scene of promoting the thermometer unexpectedly diagnosed a case, which greatly increased the interest of ministers who were not very interested in this thing. Yang Jingwei had to come out to maintain order.

The ministers were excited. It was absolutely new and strange that they could tell whether a person was sick without taking the pulse. He stopped after hearing the emperor's greeting.

"Big partner, immediately send someone to send Wang Qing's family to a shady place to rest, and treat it according to the instructions of the imperial physician." Yang Jing said happily. Unexpectedly, when promoting the thermometer, this fat man would appear to play a guest appearance as a patient. This was something that Yang Jing did not expect in advance. Now it seems that the future of this thermometer is great.

"I obey the order, let's go now." Wang Chengen agreed and asked a few eunuchs to support the chubby Lord Wang and go to rest.

The fat man went out, and the warm atmosphere in the Wenhua Palace was still unabated. A small glass tube could be a doctor. This was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. They were very interested in the thermometer made by the emperor. No one said that this was a lecture and should not be done with these things, because this thing was so magical that people were curious.

"Your Majesty, this thing is really amazing. It's really a treasure!" Shi Fenglai took the lead in giving flattery.

"Your Majesty, yes! I didn't expect that a small glass tube could actually find diseases that ordinary people cannot detect. This is simply unheard of. Your Majesty, who is the master of this thing? He should summon this person to the palace and let this person make more of this thing. In this way, there are countless doctors and doctors in the world! It is a great thing that benefits the people!" The ministers couldn't wait. This was definitely a great thing for this dynasty.

"Your Majesty, why is this thing so magical? Can Your Majesty solve our doubts?" A minister with a very curious desire spoke.

"...Yes! How is Your Majesty making this thing? Why don't Your Majesty say the previous one to help us solve our doubts?" The minister who likes gossip also asked.

"...Yes! Your Majesty, how do you determine the scale of this thermometer? How can you ensure that the temperature of the human body is exactly between 36 and 37 degrees? Is it not possible for others?"

The ministers followed one after another. After the fat man's "appearance" and everyone's views on this thing changed drastically, they decided that it was a treasure. They asked the emperor about how this thing was made and what are the requirements here.

Yang Jing was very proud and said: "This thing, called a thermometer, is used to measure temperature and determine the specific values ​​of hot and cold. With it, you can get the specific values ​​of the human body's temperature. Through these values, it is just one of the functions..."

"OK!"

"OK!"

Before the emperor could finish his speech, the ministers immediately shouted, "It's better for the emperor."

"...If you want to talk about the principle and production of this thing, it is actually very simple. Some liquids, such as strong wine, will expand rapidly after being heated. For this reason, the person who invented this thing sealed these things into the glass tube. Once heated, the liquid in the glass tube will expand. Therefore, there are different values ​​that everyone sees... and can use this thing to measure different temperatures..."

"Yeah, OK!"

"Yeah, OK!"

"So that's it!..."

The ministers applauded again and nodded constantly. This was indeed a good thing. In the future, I felt uncomfortable. If I measured it myself, I would know if I was sick and could be a doctor. This was definitely a good thing and a treasure.

"...It is actually very simple to determine this scale. After making the tube, put it in a mixture of ice and water, make a mark here, then put the glass tube into boiling water, and finally the rising scale is also marked. The two scales are divided into one hundred equal parts, that is, one hundred degrees. Therefore, the resulting low temperature of the human body is between thirty-six and thirty-seven degrees, which is not directly determined to be between thirty-six and thirty-seven degrees. You can understand..."

“…I understand, I understand…”

"...so! It's reasonable..."

"...Your Majesty, the person who came up with this solution is really a talented person..."

"Your Majesty, can you demonstrate it for us?" asked a minister with a very scientific spirit.

"Haha, okay, great companion, get some ice cubes immediately and make a pot of boiling water. I really want to show you to all the ministers in the court..." Yang Jing accepted it with a smile. Originally, it was his purpose to give ministers popular scientific knowledge at the lecture. Now that some people have proposed to conduct scientific experiments, Yang Jing is eager to do it.

"As for the order, I will go now." Wang Chengen agreed and quickly ordered the eunuch to go to the ice cellar to get the ice, and then asked someone to go to the kitchen to carry a small stove.

After a while, everything was ready.

"Sir, please see, let's put the thermometer in ice water now. Please take a look at the reading of this thermometer first?" Wang Chengen had seen this thing and personally played a guest appearance as a scientist.

"Mr. Wang, I've just used it, and there are about thirty left." A minister looked at the reading on the thermometer and said.

"Okay, then we'll put this thermometer in the ice water. Please wait for a moment." Wang Chengen was also very happy. Today, he didn't let the young eunuchs take action and personally played the role of this scientist.

Wang Chengen grabbed a few thermometers and put them into the ice water. The mercury scale in the thermometer quickly dropped.

After a while, Wang Chengen said proudly: "Sir, come and see what the reading is."

"Oh... it's really zero! It's really amazing!" The ministers had already stared at the reading, and as soon as Wang Chengen asked a question, they immediately exclaimed.

"Haha, okay! All the ministers, I see clearly, it's zero degrees." Wang Chengen handed the thermometer to the ministers and let the ministers pass it on one by one. The ministers were amazed when they saw that the customers in the glass tube dropped to zero.

"Haha, sirs, please return the thermometer to our house, and then put the thermometer in boiling water to see what it is." Wang Chengen said with a smile. This novel thing was invented by the emperor. He knew that he was happy for the emperor.

The ministers handed the thermometer to Wang Chengen again, and Wang Chengen was about to put the thermometer in boiling water.

"Big companion, wait a moment and let the thermometer return to normal temperature." Yang Jing explained. Yang Jing was afraid that the glass would be incompatible with heat and heat.

"Yes, I understand." Wang Chengen also did a lot of experiments and broke several thermometers. At this time, he would not make any mistakes again.

After a while, Wang Chengen put the thermometers into boiling water.

The reading in the glass tube rose rapidly and soon reached a position of 100. Everyone was so surprised that they saw it again! This kind of thing is definitely a rare treasure! The ministers finally knew how this thermometer represents the scale.

"Your Majesty, it's amazing!"

“…It’s an eye-opener!”

"Your Majesty, today I know that there is such a magical thing in the world, and it is worthwhile to have this life! Your Majesty, this thing is indeed magical... It must be a treasure..."

The ministers all commented happily and happily that this is definitely a strange thing, a novel thing, a treasure. If it is just a strange thing, the ministers will never be so interested and will definitely reject it. However, this is a tool that can eliminate diseases and measure cold and heat, that is different. With such a thing, it means that there are many doctors and doctors in the world, which can be regarded as a merit of saving countless people. This is definitely something worth talking about in the history of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and it is definitely a matter that can be written in history books. The emperor can pass on it for the ages, and we ministers can also benefit from some of the highlights, right? After all, it is also the "political achievements" of our dynasty.

An imperial lecture that was originally intended to brainwash the emperor, but now it has become a new technology press conference and Yang Jing uses technology to brainwash the ministers. Yang Jing is quite happy. In the future, if a minister asks for a lecture, he can do this accordingly, and turn the imperial lecture into a high-tech press conference, and turn it into a classroom for his own brainwashing of scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty.

"Haha, of course it's magical, not magical, useless, what did I do with it?... As for who invented it, in fact, you can understand this glass tube. Apart from Liulizhai, which other company can make such fine glass objects? The inventor is naturally Sun Liniang of Liulizhai." Yang Jing was happy and told the truth, without any preparation.

This time, everyone was no longer "wow". They looked at the emperor quietly, strangely, and ambiguously, looking like this. The relationship between the emperor and Liulizhai and the female shopkeeper of Liulizhai is a secret that everyone knows in the capital. This thermometer was invented by that woman...

Yang Jie was happy when suddenly the scene became cold, and then he remembered that he was a little too happy. Perhaps, the ancients were not easy to accept the achievements of a woman.

"What's wrong, why don't you talk?" Yang Jie asked embarrassedly when he saw the minister looking at him with an ambiguous look.

The ministers responded with more ambiguous and indescribable smiles. How can I say this? Everyone felt that this matter could only be understood, not expressed in words!

"What's wrong? Everyone, what I'm telling the truth. This thermometer was really invented by Li Niang." Yang Jingwei felt guilty.

"Your Majesty, I think that since this thermometer has such a great use, it can measure the cold and cold of the world and eliminate the health of people. This is a great thing, and it should be promoted to the world and seek benefits for the people of the world. This is a good opportunity to achieve Your Majesty's holy name!" Shi Feng came to see the emperor embarrassedly and decided to find a way for the emperor.

"Great goodness, great goodness, it should be promoted, and it should be promoted. Then immediately order to promote the thermometer..." Yang Jing was embarrassed to give the ministers ambiguous eyes. Seeing Shi Fenglai distorted, he immediately found a way out. This was really embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, unified weights and measures can only be determined by length, weight and volume, and can be carefully considered. With length, you can also determine the length and shortness, and you will not make mistakes in tailoring. You can create houses and fortifications without deviations. With a unified quantity and measure, geniuses can collect taxes fairly and impartially, and the people can operate the country and trade according to a unified quantity, trade, and trade. These are the credits of the unity of weights and measures. Although these things seem inconspicuous, in fact, they are the people, the court, and the people of the world.

An indispensable thing is also the cornerstone of the ability of the court to operate. Unified weights and measures are the cornerstone of the unity of the world and the symbol of the unity of the world... I believe that this thermometer not only measures its function from the small purpose of severing diseases. If we put it together, it is a new weighing instrument for measuring hot and cold. In the future, it will definitely bring countless conveniences to the people of the world. People in the world can communicate with each other with a unified temperature, and speak and speak, it should be the cornerstone of the unity of our world. In this way, the real function of the thermometer..."

The words of this minister were astonished as if the ministers were shocked! Some of the ministers present were amazed by Yang Jing. Unexpectedly, there were still people who were sensible in the Ming Dynasty!

Yang Jing secretly praised the Ming Dynasty, not all fools. He made a hint at the moment.

Wang Chengen immediately leaned over and whispered: "Your Majesty, this person is He Ru's favorite of the new Minister of Rites."

Yang Jing nodded. He was indeed a "newcomer". Otherwise, he would have no impression of him. Many of the new officials are not in the way of dealing with the Wei Party and summoned after being dismissed from office. This person should also belong to this category.

"Haha, He Qing's family has a good eye, and they really look far! It's right. The real function of this thermometer is that it is a type of weighing instrument. It was impossible to measure the specific hot and cold values ​​in the past. Therefore, once it was said, it was often very vague. It was hot, or slightly hot, very hot, or hot. This kind of speech was not good for describing the specific details of the same object. For example, the temperature of the human body and the hot and cold problems, a weighing instrument must be used to determine how hot it is. It needs to have a tool.

The value of the body. For example, paying grain and tax, the number of cents and millimeters can be specified in the body. The premise is that there is a unified weighing instrument. With a unified weighing instrument, there can be a specific and unified number. The real usefulness of this thermometer lies here... In the future, any hot and cold things can be marked with specific values ​​and described, and there will be no vague speech and difficult to communicate... Haha, everyone, do you understand?" Yang Jing was enthusiastic to popularize science to the great bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, which was quite fulfilling.

The ministers were shocked! Unexpectedly, a small glass tube actually involved a weighing instrument. It was actually the standard for the unity of the world and a symbol of the unity of the world. If you look at this thermometer from this height, then this thermometer can be infinitely elevated. Everyone understands the importance of the weighing instrument.

"I have to submit to Your Majesty, I am convinced that this thing is indeed of great use, and it should be the standard for our dynasty to unify the whole world, and it can also prove the legal principles of the Ming Dynasty's unification of the world." A minister first stood up and politicized this thermometer.

"I have come to you, I am worshipping you. Although this thing is small, it is of great significance. I suggest that Your Majesty should quickly promulgate new weights and measures, so as to show the law of unity in the world of tomorrow." Another minister immediately followed up. What was just a small toy, but now it has become a weighing instrument, something that is comparable to the weights and measures, and something that needs to be highly politicized.

"I have come to you, and I believe that the thermometer should be issued as a new weighing instrument immediately, and the standard thermometer should be manufactured immediately to send it to all counties and counties, so that the people of the world can immediately use the new weighing instrument, so that the people of the world can bathe in the favor of my Ming Dynasty, and to forge the cornerstone of my Ming Dynasty, and to pass on it forever."

The ministers also understood that this seemingly small thing is now linked to the destiny of the country, the state system, the legal system, and the legal principles of the unification of the world. Then, this thing is no longer a simple little thing, and needs to be manufactured immediately and then sent to the prefectures and counties as standard weighing instruments for the people of the world to use, so that the people of the world can more agree with the rule of the Ming Dynasty, let the concept of unification of the world penetrate into people's hearts, influence people's ideas, and make the country no longer have the possibility of division.
