Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 588 The day Xi Shi gave birth
Compared with the "Earth-centered Theory", Qingji actually knows that the "Heliocentric Theory" is a more correct conceptual theory.

The heliocentric theory, also known as the earthquake theory, is a theory about the motion of celestial bodies that is opposite to the geocentric theory. It believes that the sun is the center of the universe, not the earth.

And the person who proposed this "heliocentric theory" was Nicolaus Copernicus!
A character almost 2000 years later!
Is this too far ahead?
Qingji thought for a while, then replied: "Mr. Muller, in fact, I agree with the heliocentric theory more than the geocentric theory."

"There are three reasons. First, the earth is spherical. If a light source is placed on the top of the mast of a ship, when the ship sails away from the coast, people on the shore will see the light gradually decrease until it disappears."

"Secondly, the earth is in motion, and it rotates once in twelve hours."

"Because the sky is much larger than the earth, it is really unimaginable if the infinite sky is rotating and the earth is not moving."

"Thirdly, the sun does not move, and at the center of the universe, the earth and other planets move in circles around the sun, and only the moon orbits the earth."

"hiss!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Heliocentric theory?
This is a theory that has never appeared before!
Not only Mu Le, but also Lao Tzu, Fan Li, Ji Ran and others who have studied astronomy, all looked dumbfounded.

They wanted to refute Qingji, but they didn't know where to start.

Mu Le was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "Respected Your Excellency King Wu, according to your statement, where is the center of the earth?"

Hearing this, the ministers and officials of the state of Wu only thought that Mu Le was trying to make things difficult for Qing Ji, and couldn't help glaring at Mu Le.

Qingji just waved his hand and laughed it off.

"Your Majesty!"

Uncle Ting couldn't bear it anymore, he stared and said, "This envoy from the Fan Kingdom is really too rude!"

"In the world? Hmph, in this world, it is naturally in Huaxia, in Middle Earth!"

"I, Huaxia, have been known as 'China' since ancient times!"

"Exactly!"

"If the world is the earth, the center of the earth, why not for me China?"

The ministers and officials all expressed their opinions, thinking that in the world, they are in the Central Plains.

And Qingji seems to agree with this point of view.

Qingji said slowly: "Mr. Muller, the center of the earth, in the world, is naturally at the feet of the widow, at the feet of the second and third sons!"

Hearing this, all the ministers and officials of the state of Wu agreed.

But Mueller begs to differ.

Mu Le looked disappointed, and sighed, "Why is Your Excellency King Wu so arrogant?"

"How can you be sure that the world is under your feet?"

When Qingji heard this, he was not angry, he just waved his hand and said, "It's not difficult to answer this question."

"Come here! Bring me an egg for the widow!"

After receiving Qingji's order, not long after, a court lady brought a raw egg.

Standing on the stage, Qingji pointed at the egg, and said with a slight smile, "Second and third sons, who of you can erect this egg? Can Mr. Muller?"

Hearing this, everyone tried it out one after another.

Including Mueller!

However, no matter what, they couldn't stand the eggs upright.

Just placed the egg, let go, the egg has fallen...

In the end, it was Qingji himself who broke the corner of the egg lightly, and then put it on the tray firmly!

Seeing this scene, the wise men above the court have already reacted.

Qing Ji also smiled meaningfully: "It is the charm of academics to be able to think what ordinary people cannot think, and to be able to do what ordinary people cannot do!"

"Mr. Muller, as I said before, the earth rotates, so I say that the world is under my feet, is there something wrong?"

Mu Le couldn't help being awed, and saluted Qing Ji sincerely, "I'm convinced, I'm convinced!!
……

Because of the strong academic atmosphere of Wu Guojixia Academy, Mu Le chose to stay in Jinling, where he preached and received his job, and founded a sect.

Gradually, a new school of thought formed in the state of Wu, the Onmyoji School headed by Mu Le, Ji Ran and others, which is a branch of Taoism.

As for the theory of "round sky and place", hundreds of schools of thought are also arguing about it endlessly, and it has become a big topic that scholars all over the world talk about.

Of course, this is a later matter.

The reputation of Wu State has spread to the west, so that people including the Persians and the 36 countries in the Western Regions chose to enter China through the Silk Road and do business with the countries in China.

The cultural and economic exchanges between the East and the West began, and new changes took place...

"Ah! ah! ah—"

"Mrs. Yiguang! Work harder! Work harder!"

At this time, outside a magnificent palace, Qingji frowned, pacing there a little uneasy.

In the corridor, there are some court ladies carrying a basin of blood, walking around.

I don't know if Qingji's uneasy feeling was brought by Yiguang who was giving birth inside, or it was caused by the worsening weather...

"Crack!"

Another purple-blue thunder rang out, piercing the sky and illuminating the huge palaces like daytime.

On the dome, heavy rain fell down.

The heavy rain poured down, causing the floor of the Wu Palace to overflow with a lot of water.

Many servants and maids were busy scooping up the rainwater overflowing from the courtyard and releasing it in large basins.

Fortunately, when the King Wu Palace was built, the drainage system was perfect, otherwise the palace might have been flooded by now.

A rare look of worry appeared on Qingji's face.

The younger sisters Jiang and Zheng Dan who followed, as well as the princes and princesses, big and small, only thought that Qingji was worried about Yiguang in the delivery room, and didn't take it seriously.

Yiguang's biological mother and sister Jiang still comforted him, "Your Majesty, Yiguang's body is not bad. When she was pregnant before, she was well taken care of. I believe the mother and child will be safe."

"I hope so."

Qingji nodded slightly.

Qingji also has some worries about Yiguang's childbirth.

After all, the medical and health conditions in this era are backward.

There is also great danger to a woman during childbirth.

To describe it in one sentence, it is——

The gate of hell is closed!
This is Yiguang's first cover, Qingji will inevitably be a little worried.

There were not a few children who died young in ancient times, including Qingji's children, and a few have already died...

This was something that made Qingji heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.

Baoda?

Keep small?

Qingji's choice is Baoda.

If this is in the common people's family, there are not a few mothers and children who are stillborn.

However, thanks to Wu's policy of encouraging births.

Generally speaking, pregnant women can receive proper care from doctors from the day of pregnancy to delivery.

This is also one of the reasons why Wu's population can show a blowout growth!
