Chapter 334 This time the imperial examination will take the cannon test!
What Zhao Kai said is that the "method of investigating things" created by Yue Fei is actually the "simple induction method" and the "hypothetical deduction method".
For example, during the process of "grid gun", Yue Fei found that when the number of drugs, bullet weight and caliber were exactly the same, the longer the barrel was cast, the further the shells were hit, and the more stable the ballistic.
Of course, Yue Fei could not conduct unlimited tests. He just used a bronze cannon weighing five kilograms as the main observation object, casting three casserole cannons of 12 times, 15 times, and 18 times. After dozens of test shots, he came up with the conclusion that "the longer the barrel, the longer the range."
This is a simple induction! It looks very simple, but it is actually very simple, so simple that it is easy to be overlooked. However, the Xuanwu City Artillery Academy and Xuanwu City Artillery Factory chaired by Yue Fei conducted a very formal experiment based on Zhao Kai's suggestion - with records, accounts, data, observation reports, and it must be repeated.
Moreover, the experiments that the artillery school and the artillery factory need to conduct are definitely not just "exploring the relationship between barrel length and range". Instead, there are countless experiments to be carried out! Because artillery is an emerging military branch, almost blank, unable to obtain relevant knowledge from books, and there is no way to ask the master.
Everything depends on experiments, which is actually a way to investigate things - an empirical research method! However, Zhao Kai, who proposed this method, not Yue Fei, but Zhao Kai knew that he was not an "original" person, but was copied from later generations, so he did not dare to call himself a great scholar. If the subordinates must cry and make a fuss and ask him to be a great scholar, he could only reluctantly be a difficult person.
After Yue Fei came down from the battlefield in Heishan, he no longer led his troops. Instead, he was with a group of artillery school students and artisans from the artillery factory, doing experiments, conducting research, and exploring the methods of casting and using cannons every day.
What is Yue Fei's personality? He is a guy who is extremely serious and can't rub the sand in his eyes. You can say that he doesn't understand politics, but isn't it necessary to lead troops and conduct scientific experiments?
These two things cannot be fooled! Especially science, there is no falsehood.
Therefore, every experiment hosted by Yue Fei will have very accurate records, accounts, data and observation reports!
After a long time, Yue Fei naturally discovered that many experiments were not necessary, and could be deduced through the phenomena discovered and data that had been conducted.
At the same time, Yue Fei also found that in many cases, a conclusion can be deduced first and then verified through experiments.
For example, when Yue Fei was studying the relationship between bullet weight and range, he took it for granted to use the experience obtained from archery, believing that within a certain range, the lighter the bullet weight, the further the shooting. However, after conducting rigorous experimental tests, Yue Fei found that his interpretation was wrong. The shells with relatively large bullet weight seemed to hit farther...
After placing artillery for a period of time, Yue Fei wrote these two methods into his book "Methods of Artillery", and regarded this book as a textbook for the Artillery School, and gave it to Zhao Kai.
After reading "The Method of Gauge", Zhao Kai was surprised to find that Yue Fei and Yue Pengju were actually trained to become a scientist by himself, his wise ruler!
Because the two methods discovered by Yue Fei combined with the empirical research method plagiarized by Zhao Kai can not only be used for grid guns, but also for grid mathematics, grid chemistry, grid physics, grid war horses, grid bombs, grid steel, grid muskets, grid armor, grid warships... and even grid to steam engines, grid a revolution!
Of course, it is impossible to achieve the industrial revolution by relying on the two "great Confucians" Zhao Kai and Yue Fei. This requires the aspiring Confucians in the world to form the same, and also to exert the spirit of "fool Confucians to investigate things" and continue to form the descendants!
To achieve this goal, Zhao Kai must attract some of the interests of aspiring scholars from writing essays to investigating things.
But the matter of investigating things is to positively explain it is to investigate things to lead to knowledge, to study things and to explore things and to explore things and to seek the Tao and ask for the Tao.
To explain the disadvantages, it is strange tricks and tricks.
In "The Book of Rites. The King's System", there is content such as "making obscene sounds, strange clothes, strange skills, and strange weapons to doubt the crowd and killing". "The Book of Rites. The King's System" is regarded as a system defined by Confucius as the "Su King" of later generations. It has a very high status among Confucian classics.
And the cannons created by Yue Fei should be "strange weapons"? If they follow the requirements of "The Book of Rites. Royal System", they will be "killed"!
But the question is how to kill?
How could a group of Confucian scholars holding the Book of Rites kill a group of enemies with cannons?
If you can't kill it, you will even be killed by the cannon... Then the cannon cannot be a strange trick, but contains the way of heaven.
If the cannon has its own way, then there must be some way of blowing pots, muskets, plate armor, warships, steam engines, etc., which are not strange tricks and tricks.
So Zhao Kai suddenly introduced Yue Fei as a great Confucian scholar in order to bring out the "way of cannons" and use the "way of cannons" to break the Confucian sayings of strange and lewd skills.
This method... is simple, rough, but absolutely effective!
Because the truth has always been within the range of the cannon!
"Have you finished reading Yue Fei's "Method of the Cannon"?" In the west warm cabinet of Zhenguan Palace, Zhao Kai's voice was once again reminded of Zhao Kai's voice, "How is it? The method of induction, calculation, and the method of empirical research mentioned in the "Method of the Cannon" is also a wonderful method of investigating things and obtaining knowledge? These methods can be used to map all things in the world. Can the great way mentioned by the sages be used to explore this set of methods of investigating things? After the sages are successful, can they be used to govern the army and peace in the world?"
"Brother, the method of investigating things proposed in the "Method of the Cannon" is indeed very reasonable!" Right Prime Minister Chen Ji had already reacted and was the first to echo, "Although Peng Ju has never studied Confucian classics and is not very good at writing articles, the gate of the great way he has indeed seen is indeed a great Confucian scholar.
The law of empirical research proposed by me is the method of induction and the foundation of the method of calculation, so you are also the gate of the great way! So you are also a great scholar in the world, and even my great master of Confucianism!"
"Yes, it's very reasonable, and it's just right!" Lu Yihao also woke up at this time, "The official and the genius are so envious of the great man!"
Although this book "The Method of Gauge" was written by Yue Fei, it clearly mentioned that the "empirical research method" was created by Zhao Kai! How could the truth created by Zhao Kai be not the true truth? If Lu Yihao had such a cognition, why would he be the prime minister?
Besides, the truth of cannons is really gone.
Lu Yihao said again: "And this cannon method has been empirically tested in the Battle of Lingzhou and the Battle of Heishan, and it has proved to be the truth!"
Zhao Kai was a little embarrassed by Lu Yihao's praise. When others traveled through time, they would just be regarded as a "Wen Copyright". Why did he accidentally copy a great scholar?
He blushed and smiled: "Mr. Lu has said that I dare not take the cadets and gods... I just summarized some methods of opinion. There is nothing extraordinary."
"The official is too humble!" Chen Dong, a Hanlin scholar, said seriously, "If the official is not a scholar, and if the official cannot be ranked as a great scholar, then what great scholars will there be after Confucius and Mencius? The official is not only an empirical research method in the way of investigating things! The official also explores the secret of gunpowder and discovers the secret of 'gunpowder when encountering copper'. Moreover, the official is also well-versed in mathematics, morphology and the change of all things. It is really a rare great scholar in ancient times!"
Zhao Kai thought to himself: Chen Dong’s advice makes sense! I was worried before that someone regarded the study of things as a skill and trick, but now it seems that he is too worried. The Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty were still very open-minded!
"Sir Chen," Zhao Kai smiled, "In this way, there should be no scholar in the world who treats "The Method of Gauge" as a strange trick, right?"
How could this... not be there?
The same thoughts popped up in the minds of the civil servants present!
But, they all shook their heads together immediately.
Although many people will regard "The Method of Gauge" as a strange trick... But who dares to say it out? Your official family is fierce and unreasonable, and a little crazy! Even the Jin thief is afraid of you, and how many scholars dare to oppose you?
Besides, you have done too many things to offend people! Just a mansion soldier and a clear field, I don’t know how many literati and official families have been defeated... But who dares to rebel? That’s a death!
So it’s not a problem for you, an official, to do some tricks and tricks. “Okay!” Zhao Kai smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, I will let Yue Fei be the chief examiner this time…Sir Chen, you will also be the chief examiner, and this time I will have a double chief examiner.”
Chen Dong was still ecstatic when he heard this.
Because Yue Fei would not ask about the candidates for Jinshi, he would only be in charge of the affairs of the three military schools. So in fact, he was the chief examiner of Chen Dong!
The last "Wu Hanlin" was very close to him. If he could become the examiner of the new "Wu Hanlin", then this relationship would definitely be closer to them.
It is a matter of time to become a priest in the future.
Just when Chen Dong fantasized that he would take the support of a group of "high-quality Jinshi" to ascend to the position of prime minister, and then control the government and call for the wind and rain, Zhao Kai suddenly said "crazy words", "Pengju, Mr. Chen, I have already thought about it. We will take the cannon exam for the imperial examination this time!"
What? Test the cannon?
Chen Dong was still stunned, and Yue Fei had already spoken: "Officials, is it a military school exam cannon?"
"No," Zhao Kai smiled, "It's a Jinshi Cannon!"
Cannon Jinshi?
Chen Dong and Yue Fei were both stunned.
Chapter completed!
