Chapter 752: Flying the Kite

The inside story of why the emperor wanted to compile geography seemed to spread throughout Beijing overnight. {《》 }

The affirmation that came from Li Tianjing was absolutely not involved in the issue of hydraulic power. But in fact, at night, the "minded people" in the entire Beijing city knew that the emperor compiled this geographical anatomy in order to seize the "landscape".

Cement is used when repairing people's altars, and cement plants must be built. Cement plants must be built around the city, and there must be raw materials, fuel, and hydraulic power. Once these factors are released, everyone understands that there are many cities in the world, and there will be not many places that can meet these four conditions. Then, it is indeed very important to seize the opportunity.

This matter was determined from Li Tianjing's mouth that it was related to the human world. In fact, it was at this point that Li Tianjing did not reveal any more, but when the actual news was passed, the water power was added. As for who was the first to add the water power content, no one knew, but the rumors were like this anyway.

Some of them are quick-moving, who have sent people to deliver letters out of the city overnight, and some are preparing to take the postage route. The number of postage in the capital has suddenly increased, and they still have to be expedited with 600 miles.

Since I learned the emperor’s idea, naturally, I have to do what I should do well in front of the emperor and seize the opportunity. After finally getting the emperor’s pulse, how could I let it go easily?

It seemed that a strange wind blew in the Ming Dynasty that night.

Yang Jing also ignored this and let everyone ferment this matter, pretending that they didn't know.

In the few days after this incident was spread, Yang Jing encountered some strange eyes when the minister looked at him, such as the look in his eyes with some meaning "I see through the emperor's intentions", such as "Your Majesty, don't fool us, Your Majesty, we should also drink soup with you", which made Yang Jing feel a little funny. This was originally leaked by himself, and do you really think you have taken advantage of it?

Some ministers were complacent that they had seen through the emperor's "scheming", and Yang Jing was happy to pretend not to know. Yang Jing knew that these officials of the Ming Dynasty had always been holding on and regressing. You asked them to do whatever they wanted. They must have policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom, and try every means to distort your meaning. But if you hide, hide, and do it secretly, they will have the spirit of inquire about inside information and gossip, and will definitely do it secretly.

Yang Jing hoped that the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty could carry forward the "problem" of taking advantage and take advantage of other people's things as their own. Therefore, Yang Jing hoped that the Ming Dynasty would "rush to buy resources".

In fact, this matter cannot be kept secret for too long. Even if the cement factory is not related to hydraulic power, in fact, when the cement factory in Xishan is selected and ready to be put into production, this secret will be revealed. Since this is the case, Yang Jingwei is willing to let these officials get a "cheap" and know the secret some time in advance.

...

While the entire capital was still "secretly interpreting" the emperor's intentions, Zhang Xianyong finally ushered in the most important moment in his life.

He is going to lure the sky and thunder into the earth.

Zhang Xianyong did not have much talent in scientific research, but finally this thing was supported by Yang Jing, and the way he did things was always passed down from generation to generation. Once the direction was determined, then it would be overwhelming and verified with exhaustiveness regardless of cost.

As Zhang Xianyong's identity, he would not be able to make a few kites and some copper wires. Once this experiment was launched, it would be overwhelming. If he didn't get dozens of kites, he would be embarrassed to meet people. Zhang Xianyong was going to plant and harvest widely and try his best to collect what he needed. If he didn't make any achievements in this rainy season, he might not have a chance until the next rainy season.

He ordered the experiment to be prepared, so Zhang Xianyong meditated alone and went to meditate. The content of the retreat was that Zhang Xianyong considered whether he wanted to participate in the experiment himself? Or asked the disciples to be responsible, and he only had the results.

This question made Zhang Xianyong think about it for a long time.

Thinking of the sensation caused by his successful thunder, Zhang Xianyong did not want to throw the credit to others no matter what. He thought that if the thunder and lightning in the sky were the same as the lightning on the ground, then the sensation would be even more unparalleled. Zhang Xianyong would immediately become a "god" who can trick on thunder and lightning. He has always had the Five Thunder Dharma in Taoism, and he was not willing to throw it away such a huge opportunity. He still wanted to "verify the Dharma" himself.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xianyong finally made a decision. The consequence of this matter was that he could not give up in person. Depending on the emperor's intention, the emperor probably hoped that he would participate in the experiment himself, rather than asking him to do it. Thinking about the scene when he and the barbarian missionary offered the emperor "select" in front of the emperor, Zhang Xianyong understood more clearly that he was a puppet in the hands of the emperor. He should move as much as the emperor told him to move. As a puppet or a chess piece, he should have this awareness.

"Well, as a 51st generation of heavenly master, if I am unfortunately struck by lightning, I will have a poor life and a shallow blessing. No wonder others. This fame and fortune is related to the prosperity of my religion. We should strive for it. When I carry forward my religion and fight for it..., the ancestors of all generations are here, please bless the unworthy descendants..." Zhang Xianyong thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to go into battle in person.

He silently bowed to the sky, and Zhang Xianyong walked out of the place where he was meditating and practicing. Zhang Xianyong wanted to do this thing that caused thunder to the ground by himself. He also planned to accept the consequences and achievements alone, and he wanted to really fight for it.

"master……"

"master……"

Zhang Xianyong's disciples were already waiting for Zhang Xianyong outside, and everything was ready.

"Well..." Zhang Xianyong's expression was solemn, he nodded, and walked straight out of the room. The first thing was to look up at the sky.

The sky is no longer visible to the sun, the clouds are gradually thickening, and the light is dimming, which is a sign that it is about to rain. Thunder is often accompanied by rain. It is necessary to verify whether the lightning in the sky is the same as the electricity rubbed from the point. This is a good opportunity.

"Qingfeng, are you all ready?" Zhang Xianyong asked.

"Reporting to the master, you have already prepared it. There are 7749 kites in total. Three people are responsible for each kite. The barbarians are responsible for the kite, the barbarians are responsible for the observation, and one person is responsible for the recording... Looking at the weather now, it seems that it is going to rain. Master, it should be the time,..." Zhang Xianyong's apprentice replied immediately.

"Okay! Since the formation has been set up, let's have a chance. Except for the people who participated in the formation, the rest of the people stayed here..." Zhang Xianyong said immediately, with an indisputable tone in his words.

The disciples all agreed.

"Dad..., the child is willing to do this on behalf of his father. Dad, this fact is too dangerous..." Zhang Xianyong's son immediately said anxiously, luring lightning from the sky to the ground. This kind of thing that makes people feel terrible when he hears it, he has the idea of ​​taking the battle on behalf of his father.

"No, Yingjing, stay here, there is no allowed..." Zhang Xianyong looked indisputable, and his tone was very firm. He was willing to fight for a future, but he would not have to lose his inheritor. He died, and at least his son could continue to be the master of the heaven. If both father and son died, it would be a big joke.

"Dad..." Zhang Yingjing was very anxious.

"Okay, don't say much, this matter is settled. Remember, if there is any accident in my father, Ying Jing will remember everything in the future, you should follow His Majesty's instructions, but remember..." Zhang Xianyong thought about it, and then said to his son in an indisputable tone.

Zhang Yingjing is Zhang Xianyong's eldest son. When he heard his father as if he was explaining his funeral, how could he not be anxious? But his father said this matter in a very rare and serious manner, and he could not argue at all. He had no choice but to be anxious.

After the explanation was completed, Zhang Xianyong immediately strode forward.

The disciples behind him also followed with a solemn expression.

...

The place where the experiment was actually a very open place. With Zhang Xianyong's current reputation, it is not difficult to borrow such a place to do business.

Zhang Xianyong quickly entered his position, and the other disciples also went to his position.

The so-called forty-nine kites actually occupy a very wide area. It took a lot of time just to disperse and take up the position of the personnel.

Originally, there was no need for so many kites, but Zhang Xianyong was afraid that he would fly the kites in vain, and he would grow them in a large scale and harvest them at once, and recorded them from multiple sources. So he made dozens of kites at once and made up a more particular number like 7749.

In fact, this is also an exhaustive method, because we need to exhaust many things to test the thunder, such as gold, silver, copper and iron, such as sweaters, leather pants, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, etc., so suddenly, this scale has increased. For the insurance period, there must be multiple numbers, and there must be more preparations such as a few sheep, so this scale is very small.

Although such a large-scale test consumes a lot of energy, there must be a lot of things recorded. You can gain a lot of things in one go. Compared with his efforts, it is still worth it. Zhang Xianyong must make a result as soon as possible. This northern heavenly stem is not easy to encounter rainy seasons. Who knows when it will rain next time?

Zhang Xianyong silently muttered the prayers that others could not understand. After finishing the muttering, he inserted the incense candle in his hand into the incense altar.

"Qingfeng, are you all ready? If you are ready, start to fly it. Look at the weather, if you don't fly it, you'll be afraid it will rain and it will be troublesome. I'm afraid this kite can't be fed..." Zhang Xianyong said.

"Yes, master!" Zhang Qingfeng agreed immediately.

After saying that, he waved his hand and immediately waved the red flag on the hillside in the distance. This was to inform people in the distance and start flying kites. There were 7749 kites, and the territory was really wide.

Zhang Xianyong flew the kite by himself. The kite was pulled by a winch instead of on human hands. According to what Zhang Xianyong could understand, since he wanted to pull the lightning in the sky, it was necessary that the lightning had to pass through the rope that pulled the kite. Although Zhang Xianyong lacked common sense and did not understand electricity, he was not an idiot. He knew what the consequences of the lightning in the sky hitting the human body. Therefore, he made so many winches to pull the kite. There were copper wires tied to the string of the kite, and it could not be pulled without a winch.

These kites were also made by Zhang Xianyong, who was rushing to make kites. They were both relatively large and had a high production standard. Zhang Xianyong's apprentice held the kite and was only slightly away from the wind. The kite immediately grabbed the wind and flew upwards, which immediately drove the wheels of the winch to rotate, and rose to the sky in a few seconds.

At Zhang Xianyong's order, 7749 kites started flying together, and not all of them had good luck. They could fly kites into the sky in such a strong wind. Many people's kites had just flew up a little and immediately plunged into the ground.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xianyong prepared 49 kites at one time. At the beginning, at least half of the kites did not fly up. In this half, some of them could be picked up and flew back again, while others were already broken and could not fly at all.

Zhang Xianyong was very focused on flying kites. After flipping his own kites into the sky, he had time to look at the other kites. Seeing that they were about half flying, he knew it. He didn't care much.

"Okay, Qingfeng, let's get more. Let's leave the rest to God..." Zhang Xianyong immediately said when he saw that the kite had already flown into the sky. He was not a fool, nor did he want to use the human body to test the power of lightning. Therefore, once the kite was put into the sky, he would immediately prepare to evacuate and the rain would come.

He is not afraid of flying kites. What he is afraid of is flying kites in thunderstorms, and what he is afraid of is to lure the lightning down.

"Okay, master, wait for the disciple to tie the copper wire..." Zhang Qingfeng agreed immediately, then followed the copper wire that led the kite with a copper wire, and then tied a sheep under the copper wire. The sheep had already tied to death and could not move. She bleated there, and there was a lot of copper wire wrapped around the sheep's body. The copper wire that came down from the kite was a little distance from the copper wire on the sheep. This is exactly how Zhang Xianyong verified that the lightning in the sky and lightning on the ground were the same thing.

According to the phenomenon on the ground, when a person comes into contact with active clothes, lightning will often bloom. If the lightning in the sky and the lightning underground are the same, then the wire on the kite that is about to come into contact with the sheep should appear between the sheep.

"Well, if you pick it up, hurry up and get more. It's going to rain now. It's easy to fly kites, but kites are not that fun on thunderstorms..." Zhang Xianyong urged. Indeed, everyone can fly kites, but it's better to fly kites on thunderstorms.

"Yes, master, the disciple has been tied up..." Zhang Qingfeng immediately finished the work at hand. His master Zhang Xianyong didn't say it was okay. He played with flying kites a lot when he was a child, and he had never been so thrilling. When his master reminded him, he remembered what he was doing. This was causing lightning to fall to the ground. Once the lightning to fall to the ground, it was not a joke.

"Okay, if you tie it up, you will have the signal. Let others hurry up and don't stay under the line. Just forget about the kites that have not been flew, don't let it go..." Zhang Xianyong said. At this point, the benefits of getting 49 kites at one time are reflected. Even if half of them are unsuccessful, he still has more than twenty successful ones.

"Yes, master!" Zhang Qingfeng agreed immediately, and then kept waving the flag in the distance. The people on the hillside in the distance also immediately shook the flag.

After the flag was shaken, no one could fly the kites that had not yet flown, and they all hid...

At this time, only those twenty kites were flying in the sky.

The place where Zhang Xianyong hides from the rain is slightly better than that elsewhere. It is a land temple. It has been slightly renovated and expanded, and it is no problem to accommodate a few people.

The other disciples hid in the temporary building. They wanted to record it here.

"Qingfeng, have you told them to stop flying kites? It's going to rain, it's still flying, how can this be done..." Zhang Xianyong stood at the entrance of the Land Temple, looking at some people in the distance, as if they were still trying hard to fly kites. Zhang Xianyong immediately ordered again anxiously. This kite is not fun, it's going to cause thunder to fall to the ground, it's going to rain. It's probably the thunder is coming and is still "playing". Do you think this is fun? Zhang Xianyong was so anxious that he wanted to scold people.

"Yes, master, I'll go and give me another order..." Zhang Qingfeng also saw that there were still people flying kites in the distance and said immediately. So he walked out again and waved the small flag in his hand. People in the distance waved the flag again to signal the personnel to evacuate.

After a while, no one flew kites anymore. Zhang Xianyong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, can this work? Flying a kite into the sky can lead to lightning? The disciple still doesn't believe it. If this is true, why did the disciple never encounter lightning falling to the ground when he flies a kite?" Zhang Xianyong's disciple asked in disbelief. Indeed, flying a kite can lead to lightning down the ground. So many kites flying every year have not seen anyone killed.

"You used to fly kites when the weather is clear. How can you compare to the kites flying on this thunderstorm? Besides, there is copper wire on the lead wire of the kite. How can that be compared with the kite?" Zhang Xianyong began to educate his apprentice.

"Master said it..." Zhang Xianyong's apprentice Zhang Qingfeng immediately admitted.

"By the way, Qingfeng, you are ready for the record book. Don't forget. I will personally record the scene when the lightning comes to the ground later. This is the key to the prosperity of my teaching... But you must not forget it because of the natural strange phenomenon at that time..." Zhang Xianyong ordered again. He was not sure, afraid that a "true thunder god" would come out at that time.
