Yinreng intentionally refused, but the emperor came over with a gaze and asked him in a bad way: "Aren't you always wanted to do foreign affairs? I proposed it at the beginning, and now I need you to represent the Qing Dynasty to preside over the overall situation, why is it reluctant again?"

Yinreng said helplessly: "That was the aggressive general whom Peter threw to his son minister. Why did you accept it all?"

"The Lord of Rakshasa is also young and impetuous. After going abroad, he wants to reform the domestic ills. The envoys sent by the Qing Dynasty can also bring me advanced things back to the overseas. As for recruiting talents from various countries, he ran over to recruit. He didn't know what monsters and monsters he would recruit to the local area. I just nodded and agreed. Western countries sent the top scientists to the Qing Dynasty. How can his barbaric country compare with the power of our country?"

Kangxi spared no effort to trample the Rakshasa Kingdom under the country. A large area of ​​land in the country is still under the territory of the landlords and nobles, and even without ethics and culture education as the basis. I heard that there were still serfs there. The Qing Dynasty was here, and the social status of farmers and industry was higher than that of industry and commerce. However, on the Rakshasa, farmers were regarded as slaves, and their backwardness was generally seen.

From the literal meaning, we can understand what the serf system is. Farmers do not farm for themselves, not for the country, but for the lords. Isn’t this like the Zhou Dynasty’s feudal system and the lords governing the various places?

Their national beliefs are also chaotic, comparable to those of the West, such as Orthodox, Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, etc. Unfortunately, spies sent to their country have suffered a lot of losses. Kangxi was unable to receive more information, but this did not prevent him from underestimating the background of all aspects of the country.

Kangxi said deeply: "He reminded me, let me see how his reform will end in the future and how to suppress the opposition."

From his tone, it seemed that he would send someone to Rakshasa Kingdom again to find out its development.

After the two countries signed a border alliance and friendly trade began, the Qing merchants could really go to their country to conduct business with justification.

Yinreng:???

He didn't say anything, nor did he expect that Khan Ama actually had the idea of ​​letting Tsar Peter "try the poison with his body". By observing whether he poisoned himself to death or put him to death, he would learn from the experience of reform. At that time, good measures would be improved and bad disadvantages would be abandoned.

Yinreng: "Ah..."

Kangxi gave him a light look.

Yinreng was wise in a hurry: "This is really clever!"

Kangxi: "…"

He was not happy that he was praised by the prince for his cleverness, but he felt itchy.

Peter faced many difficulties. The great nobles and men in China bound serfs to the land and exploited their labor.

Local governments manage internal affairs, and wealth is confused with legal positions. There is no clear part of the work, and the situation of corruption and bribery is particularly serious.

The army operates real estate, and the military discipline is particularly poor, and most of them are lazy. There are no schools in China, and few people can read.

The country is even more poor. In the past few years, the royal family fought internally and fought with the Ottomans for a long time. They did not value agriculture or business. Only when they could have money would there be ghosts.

In the Qing people's cognition, Rakshasa was backward, poor and barbaric. Their biggest advantage in fighting was that the Russians were strong and brave, and they were as strong as ten.

Kangxi snorted coldly: "The king of Rakshasa Kingdom has just ascended the throne, and the power in his hands is still in the hands of his uncle! I will wait and see what he can reform the country."

Just wait to see the big drama of Peter fighting with the old nobles in the country.

He also told Yinreng: "Crown Prince, don't think about learning outside everywhere. Some things are actually the best in the Qing Dynasty. You have to compare them."

Yinreng wanted to speak but stopped: "But our country's scientific foundation and talent reserves were really insufficient. The Qing Dynasty had been on the spot for too long in the past few years. For example, the shipbuilding technology and artillery manufacturing technology were used in the previous dynasty and had not changed for decades."

He gave examples one by one: "There are indeed not as many scientists in our country as foreign countries, and it is also because of the emphasis on literature and Confucianism. People study and study literature in order to become an official, as if there is no other way out for scholars to get out of the imperial examination."

"Since the development of science, Khan Ama has also seen it. Grain production, people's lives, and shipbuilding are related to the development of the Qing Dynasty's national strength, and are closely related to science. The scholars in our country have all studied retrospect in the past few years, and in turn, the "primary school" that annotated ancient books and explained the thoughts of predecessors flourished. Only the spirit of innovation was lacking. This state continued until the Academy of Sciences achieved results, which made a group of young people among the people focus on this. However, among the people, young students gave up the imperial examination and devoted themselves to studying science, which was called their parents and unfilial. So science was still regarded as a path by literati in China."

However, Kangxi's attitude was still very clear: "I promised you to promote science, but it does not mean that I agree that science will become a master of learning and surpass Confucianism. Governing the country with Confucianism is related to the stability of the Qing Dynasty. I hope that we can fully understand it."

"Of course, of course, I have been familiar with the words of saints since I was a child, and my achievements have been praised by the Taifu many times. How could I not know that the status of Confucianism is related to the national system?"

"My deputies ask themselves to do better with their virtues, and they will definitely leave the impression that the Qing Dynasty is a country of etiquette in foreign affairs. Confucianism is the signature of the Qing Dynasty and the culture of the country. Science can promote the country, and these two do not conflict."

Yinreng felt that in addition to promoting the change of the status of science from top to bottom, it could also influence the people from all aspects, and it was also a good idea to go from bottom to top. When the upper and lower levels are connected, science will become a huge boost to the country's soaring national strength, and the whole country will operate.

How to promote the prosperity of science is to establish education and establish schools in various places. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It requires the national strength to continue to be implemented from the capital city to various places.

Nalan Xingde said it well. Science outside the capital has already been on track. The next step should be to fully unfold from point to surface.

When Yinreng returned to the capital, he was committed to promoting the establishment of the Ministry of Medicine and the establishment of the school. Seeing that he was doing his best, Kangxi took the burden of the country on his shoulders, took the initiative to do things, and had a high level of ideological awareness. He never mentioned not to do the prince again, and his heart was slightly relaxed.

The matter of receiving envoys from various countries was familiar again and again. Yinreng earlier received foreign envoys and was a member of the Ministry of Rites. Now with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the government affairs in the North Korea and China are more perfect. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Rites are in charge and the handling is also fast.

Not long after, the Coastal Customs Office submitted the letters of the envoys from various countries to the capital. After approval by the capital, the envoys would be escorted into the capital.

A total of ten people came to the English Envoys this time, including five scientists from the Royal Academy of Sciences and two members of the parliament. Isaac Newton has both identities, and is one of the persons in charge of this time.

The Qing Dynasty had the impression of classical and elegant in the Westerners. I stayed at the station along the way, and was mostly decorated with small bridges and rockery decorations, which was quite a scene that incorporated buildings into natural scenery.

The decoration designs made Newton, who lives in London, feel novel.

The Qing officials who received them saw that he was interested in this and said with a smile: "The station is just borrowing good feng shui. To discuss the size and exquisite design of the garden, of course, it is still the royal garden of the Qing Dynasty. When the envoys enter the palace to meet the saint, they will have the opportunity to visit the Forbidden City."

Just like the Emperor's only summer palace, Changchun Garden, outside the capital, has a peaceful and natural mood, and takes into account the emperor's needs for governing the country, and builds it together with the Confucianism and rituals and music. If they are lucky, they will have the opportunity to visit Changchun Garden like the French envoys. Because the capital is hot, the emperor and His Royal Highness will live in the other palace for summer at the hottest time.

The clothes of the English envoys were relatively complicated. In order to maintain their decent clothes, they would rather wear appropriately in hot weather. Even if they were so hot that they were sweating all over, they would never show any bitter summer.

The temperature in London and the capital is similar, and it is exactly the same as the summer, and the envoys are still used to it.

There are people who pick up the stations back and forth, and the residence is clean and tidy, and the scenery along the way is also beautiful. When they arrive in the capital, it happens to be the hottest time. There are also vendors selling bayberry and peach-like cold water along the street.

The post station official smiled and said, "In order to relieve the heat, the post station prepares summer soup for all the envoys. Mung bean soup can clear heat and detoxify, and lotus seed soup can nourish the spirit and nourish the spleen. They are all good products for heat relief. You can rest at the post station and wait for the emperor to summon him."

Newton was in the most energetic middle-aged man and could resist the heat. However, Robert Hook, who worked for the Royal Society, was old and sweating profusely. Hearing this, he immediately brought someone a bowl of mung bean soup.

The mung beans were boiled sour that they melted in their mouths. White petals were added to them, chewing bitterness. Combined with the sweetness in the soup, the cold feeling slid down the throat, making people feel so comfortable that they were stunned. Hu Keha breathed, sat down with his butt, and ordered another bowl of lotus seed soup.

Hu Ke obviously liked the delicious food of the Qing Dynasty. When the inn attendant saw that he drank three bowls of mung bean soup in a row, he had a big appetite, he couldn't help but smile and reminded: "If you eat too much mung bean, you can easily bloat. If the messenger likes it, you can try something else."

What people are looking forward to in the Qing Dynasty is the delicious food they eat. The big cakes they sell on the streets here are crispy and delicious, and the variety makes these English people feast their taste.

Hooker is rude and ungrateful. He has a strange reputation in England and is not as elegant and reserved as Newton. If he really likes to eat delicious food, he may go to the streets by himself. He doesn't care about his image at all.

Seeing that he was so casual, the other envoys frowned and said, "This Hooker has become more and more perverted."

They went to see Newton one after another, and Newton smiled and said, "Why don't you go and rest as well. Look at Mr. Robert's reaction, mung bean soup and lotus seed soup must taste good."

The little old man Hook snorted coldly, giving him no face at all.

The reception of envoys from various countries fell on Yinreng, which became a political task. The meeting with Isaac Newton was formal and the atmosphere was serious. Some historians recorded it on the documents.

The crown prince of the Qing Dynasty was reserved and noble, showing the style of a crown prince of a great country. His etiquette was elegant and noble, with a kindness and alienation. The proportion of friendship between the two countries was impeccable.

Newton didn't know that the letter sent from the East was from the crown prince. As a member of parliament and a politician, he knew how to use his scientific knowledge to pry open the door of the Qing Dynasty and let them welcome the arrival of the envoys.

In order to show their welcome, the crown prince prepared a banquet for several envoys.

At the banquet, from astronomy and geography to physics knowledge, the prince had a rich knowledge reserve. It seemed that nothing could be done. He could even discuss mechanics, optics, and mathematics with professional scientific researchers.

After communicating with him, Newton was surprised to find that the crown prince had also read his book "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy".

"If I hadn't known that Your Highness, you are the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, and with your words and speech, I would have thought you were a scientist and a naturalist!"

Newton wanted to use this to introduce the topic to good diplomatic relations and trade between the two countries. After all, he chose to cooperate with the Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles Montagu after joining the English Parliament. It was because Charles promised that he would support him in charge of currency work when he returned home, which made him more concerned about England's future economy.

Yinreng chuckled and said, "Today I will invite all envoys to have a banquet. I will not talk about government affairs for the time being. I will take you to see Khan Ama tomorrow. You can make political-related requests in front of Khan Ama."

So he once again raised the topic of science.

Yinreng felt very regretful: Qin Shihuang was amazed by Han Fei's "Han Feizi" written by Han Fei. As a book fan, he could ask Han Fei for Han Fei, and Gu also wanted to ask Newton for the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, judging from his position among the English parliamentarians, I am afraid this wish could not be achieved.

So he once again turned his target on another scientist.

The bright eyes of the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty looked at Robert Hook, who was alone in a daze and silent state. He said warmly: "I didn't expect that Mr. Hook, who wrote "Micrographs", would also come to the Qing Dynasty. I have also read the "Micrographs" you wrote."

Hu Ke raised his head in surprise, but he didn't expect that the noble prince of the Qing Dynasty would notice him?!

It is rare to be noticed under the light of Isaac Newton. Hook said in surprise: "His Royal Highness has also read my "Microscience"?"

"More than that, I have also read your book "Description of Sunmeters and Other Instruments" (1). What is the answer to the secret code you left in it?"

Hook suddenly felt energetic. He was happy with the crown prince's understanding of his works. He couldn't help but follow Yinreng's words and talked with Yinreng: "That was what I discovered during the experiment. The answer after the word arrangement is 'force as long as it is'extension'. It means that the length of each coil spring is related to the tensile force it is subject to."

Hook naturally did not understand the Qing language, but Yinreng knew English. He was also following an interpreter, so the communication between the two was completely unobstructed.

Newton saw that the prince and Hook had a great time talking in detail, his expression remained unchanged, and he still smiled and talked to the people around him.

The embassy group was vaguely centered on him, and the English were chasing this new star born in the field of science.

The next day, the emperor summoned him, and the person who summoned him was also the representative of the envoys of England. People like Hook who were not well-known in the country came to serve as a foil, so naturally they were not qualified to receive such honors.

Yinreng did not expect that he could still eat melons from abroad to welcome the English envoys. He not only had fun watching the fun, but also had the intention of poaching.

Xinyu is now responsible for the information of all sizes around Yinreng, and he is also the most skilled and agile under his command.

Whether it is inquiring about news or killing and setting fire, Xinyu can complete it perfectly.

He told Yinreng: "Your Highness, according to other members of the English Envoys, Robert Hook had sued Isaac Newton for plagiarizing his achievements in London. They all called Hook a 'madman who used any means to become famous' and 'a old man who was not ashamed to have his money in the past few years'."

"The news of Robert Hook's disagreement with Isaac Newton is not a secret between their envoys, and everyone knows it. Because Hook's previous prosecution failed, his reputation was not good."

Yinreng thought to himself: "And Newton got the opportunity to become a member of parliament, and he was about to leap forward and succeed. Hook was in disagreement with him, and life in London might not be easy. You said, if he took this opportunity to recruit him to stay in the Qing Dynasty, would he agree?"

Xinyu was speechless.

The emperor asked you to fully entertain foreign envoys. How did you use your power to dig at other people's corners?

It was not that the letter sent by the Lord of Rakshasa Kingdom stimulated Yinreng. He not only reformed, but also poached many talents from various countries!

Khan Ama disdained these things, but Yinreng himself felt a little itchy.

"How can I know if I can succeed if I don't try it? There are too few experts like Hook who can write books in the Qing Dynasty. I can dig one by one. Khan Ama gave Gu power, isn't it easy for Gu to keep someone?"

Yinreng rubbed his little hands: Why not, let the orphan come and explore the bottom first?

The author has something to say: Comments (1)

Retrieved from search: Hooker's Law

In 1660, he found in his experiment that the elongation of the coil spring is proportional to the tensile force it is subjected to. In 1676, he published this result in the form of a riddle in his article "A Description of Helioscopes and Other Instruments". The riddle was ceiiinosssttuv. (This was the convention at that time. If you could not confirm your discovery, you would first post the alphabetical order of the discovery, and then return to the normal order after confirmation.) Two years later, the answer was announced, which means "force is like elongation (change like that)," that is, the Hook's law that is proportional to the elongation.

ps: Hooker is a member of the Royal Society of England
