Zhu Houzhao glared at Yan Song angrily, and only wrote down the elements that can now be known to the Ming Dynasty on the elemental table in the early version of the Ming Dynasty, and said to Yan Song:

"Now these are the elements we know. Different elements have different properties, but they also have common rules. You see, these elements belong to gold, and we can collectively call them metal. Coincidentally, the ancients also set gold next to it, and sulfur and the phosphorus I mentioned to you before were next to it, saying that it is not gold, and new elements can be used to make words."

Yan Song was shocked for a moment and hurriedly said, "What Your Majesty says is very reasonable. I only say that all things have different energy and talents. Now Your Majesty replaces them with elements. A word of indivisible things is replaced by one word. Gold brings gold, and non-gold brings stones. In this way, the elements can be named separately, and people in the world can learn and learn them, and it is very cheap to remember them in books."

"All things have three states. What we see is, such as charcoal, sulfur is solid, while water is liquid. If water is burned, it can become a gas and disappear and evaporate, which means it becomes a gas state. Therefore, when some elements are composed of solid and liquid, they can be seen by us, but if it is a gas state, they cannot be seen, so many elements are still invisible and need to be discovered gradually."

Zhu Houzhao said again: "Different elements have different properties. For example, the phosphorus fertilizer I asked you to make before, can make rice and wheat grow better, while green alum is pure and light as water, but it can be heated and can destroy human faces. As long as we use the properties of these elements to create new things, it can benefit the country and the people."

"If soap is made, it will make it easier for the people to wash clothes and make it easier to wash the dirt in their bodies, which will cause fewer people to get sick from the plague. When gunpowder is used in firearms, it will give Han people the powerful weapon to check and balance the barbarians. In the future, our Ming Dynasty may also be able to use various elemental properties to create cars that can run without horse pulling, or even create objects that can fly, or ships that can move forward without paddles."

After Zhu Houzhao said this, Yan Song couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and was stunned for a moment before he had to laugh and said, "Your Majesty, a car that can run without a horse, an object that can carry people to fly, and a boat that can advance without paddles. This is impossible, even a god wants to ride a deer and a crane."

"Everything is possible. As long as you master the properties of all elements, there is nothing impossible. Before glass is created, can you think of a telescope in this world?"

After Zhu Houzhao said this, Yan Song also understood a little and hurriedly said, "According to Your Majesty's words, if you understand all the elements, you can create new things and control the laws of all things. I was responsible for improving crops before and found that the ash burned charcoal and the feces of humans and animals can help the growth of rice and wheat. Now it seems that the elements in the charcoal and the elements in the feces, and phosphorus have the purpose of increasing the growth of crops. Your Majesty, is it clear which elements are about increasing the weight of rice and wheat? I can directly make this element to make fertilizer without having to burn wood to collect manure?"

"It is true that phosphate ore can be made into phosphate fertilizer. Does some ores also have the elements of fattening rice and wheat in carbon ash? If you find that this ore is made into fertilizer, it will naturally be cheaper than logging and burning!"

Zhu Houzhao said.

Yan Song couldn't help but become excited: "I wish I had received the teachings of Your Majesty earlier. If I could really get this fertilizer, my Ming Dynasty would have a bumper harvest, and every family would not have the danger of being hungry!"

Immediately, Yan Song bowed to Zhu Houzhao: "Please rest assured, I will definitely find the elements that can increase rice and wheat!"

"I'll wait for your good news. You can check out what the ashes of charcoal are composed of. For specific methods, you can go to the Peking University, the Royal Industrial Experimental Base and the Ming Academy of Sciences to ask them. I'll ask the Ministry of Personnel to give you a doctorate in agricultural science at the Ming Academy of Sciences to facilitate your actions. In addition, I'll ask the Royal Taxation Bureau to give you 10,000 taels of silver as a capital."

"I thank Your Majesty!"

Yan Song was overjoyed and said to himself: "Since the promotion of rice and phosphate fertilizer in Chameng City, the single acre of grain in our Ming Dynasty has increased to 2 stones and 5 stones. If there is new fertilizer now, we will not worry about not being able to break through the number of three stones. Now Your Majesty has ordered the official land to be entrusted with the people's land. At that time, the people of a hundred acres of grain will be still possible!"

Zhu Houzhao only knew that Yan Song was a famous treacherous minister in later generations, but he never thought that he would be so considerate in agriculture. He was a little impressed with Yan Song, thinking that perhaps Jiajing used Yan Song in history because Yan Song was good at writing green poems.

In any case, Yan Song, who went to Beijing to serve as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Justice, focused on the development of new elements of burning charcoal whenever he had free time. Unlike other civil servants, he was extremely dedicated to his wife Ouyang, and did not drink flower wine, nor did he gamble.

If Zhu Houzhao was not a time traveler, he looked at Yan Song only from the perspective of the world, and only felt that Yan Song was a good official with good moral character and moral integrity, and could even be said to be a clean and rude official, which was completely inconsistent with the so-called image of a treacherous minister in later generations.

Although Yan Song did not dare to fill the water and fire into the elemental form because His Majesty Zhu Houzhao did not think that water and fire were elements, he still insisted in his heart that water and fire were elements.

In Yan Song's opinion, he was a child prodigy at least. After being admitted to Hanlin, he would not have misunderstood elements. Therefore, he believed that charcoal must be composed of elements such as fire and charcoal ash. Of course, he also believed that charcoal was not composed of single elements. Yan Song created a compound for himself, and he wrote in his notes:

"Charcoal is burned into fire and charcoal ash, so charcoal is made from the combination of charcoal ash and crevices, and it is a compound!"

Yan Song was very happy. He felt that he was creating a new knowledge. He believed that his future achievements should be no less than Wang Shouren, and he believed that he might be better than Wang Shouren, because what Wang Shouren said was not necessarily correct, but what he said was definitely correct. No one can argue that charcoal is a compound, because the combustion test is enough to prove it.

"A real man is in the world, and his ambition is nothing more than making meritorious, making words, and establishing virtue. Although I, Yan Song, cannot make meritorious, at least I can make words!"

Yan Song thought to himself as he looked at the row of glass instruments in front of him.

...

Wang Shouren was identified as the winner of the Royal Highest Science and Technology Award for Creating the Heart Science and Technology Award.

Wang Wensu, Tong Laowu and Tao Hei were identified as winners of the Royal Highest Science and Technology Award for the Interpretation and Arithmetic Award.

Wang Wensu doesn't need to be detailed. His book "Academics and Treasures" has recorded the operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by abacus. It also provides mathematical arrangement and combination and geometry related knowledge. It also summarizes the rules for the conversion of tax rate and price statistics of Daming. It even began to propose calculus under the influence of Zhu Houzhao, and formally introduced Arabic numerals to establish a new way of operation.

In this era when there were no computers, Wang Wensu applied simple and complex mathematical operations to abacus, which greatly helped the Ming Dynasty in opening banks, financial management and financial scheduling.

Otherwise, to be honest, without the foundation of computer technology, it will be difficult for Zhu Houzhao, a time traveler, to open a bank successfully, and it will even be difficult for him to successfully carry out the money law reform.

Therefore, Wang Wensu deserves to win this award.

It was just a matter of taking this opportunity to let people in the Ming Dynasty know that the Ming Dynasty not only valued the art of literature and martial arts, but also valued the study of mathematics and physics.

Tong Laowu was awarded this award for manufacturing firing guns at the Military Weapon Bureau.

The awards in the chemical industry and smelting category were won by eunuch Qiu Ju and Tao Hei.

Qiuju was the first person in the Ming Dynasty to master the manufacturing technology of two acids and two alkalis. Whether a country's industrial foundation can be complete depends on whether it can produce three acids and two alkalis. Qiuju is naturally of great effect.

Tao Hei was awarded this award for repeatedly improving steel smelting technology from crucible steelmaking to open furnace steelmaking.

besides.

Li Yanwen became the winner of the Medical and Physiology Award because he was the first female surgeon in the Ming Dynasty who could intact suture wounds after caesarean section.

Originally, Zhang Zhong, the internal officials, could also compete for this award, but Zhang Zhong is good at cutting 0 packets and 0 skins, which involves suturing small wounds, has a relatively less effective effect than Li Yanwen. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao finally chose to win Li Yanwen.

The winner of the Money Law Award was Xu Jing. After all, the great butler around Emperor Zhu Houzhao was also an indelible contribution to the Ming Dynasty's current economic landscape.

The Fengtian Gate where all officials gathered was as grand as when they were ceremonial. All civil and military officials appeared in crowns and uniforms, and Zhu Houzhao also wore crowns and uniforms to the place, which showed his importance to the award when the award was awarded.

After the mountain shouted long live, Zhu Houzhao asked the Minister of Rites Ouyang Dan to preside over the award ceremony.

then.

Ouyang Dan started to sing the name, saying why Emperor Zhu Houzhao had set up this award, and the winners were all read. In front of all civil and military officials, he praised him for every person he read.

In the past, such solemn etiquette could only be achieved by making great contributions. Now Zhu Houzhao used this as an etiquette to reward the Ming Dynasty's innovative achievements in the academic field, which naturally made these winners feel very honored.

Even civil and military officials did not expect that the court would attach so much importance to the ninth-rate learning.

Although some Confucian scholars of Neo-Confucianism were a little bit stingy, they were hard to say anything after knowing that Guo Nan was demoted, and they could only accept this phenomenon.

Wang Shouren, the Minister of War, did not expect that he would be presented so grandly by His Majesty for his heart and making words.

Many officials also expressed envy, and they did not expect that the words of the emperor would be so valued by His Majesty, and even if they learned such distorted words in their hearts.

For example, at this time, Yan Song felt that he would be able to win awards in the flying fish suit like Wang Shouren in the present for his innovative knowledge.
