【The skill of"moving clouds and making rain" in mythical novels has been something that farmers in ancient China who relied on the sky have been looking forward to for thousands of years.】

【Finally, in the 20th century, it was realized】

【So, how is artificial rainfall achieved?】

【Today’s video will specifically talk about this issue.】

"record!"

"Write down everything that people in future generations say!"

"Don't miss a word!"

In different dynasty planes, many emperors gave orders loudly.

Not only the emperors were interested, but many ancients from many dynasty planes were also interested in this. They all looked at the giant screen in the sky intently.

【Under normal circumstances, when water on the earth is exposed to sunlight, it turns into water vapor and evaporates into the air. The water vapor condenses into small water droplets after being cooled at high altitudes. Due to the buoyancy of the air, water resources suspended in the air are formed. , that is, clouds】

【When the volume of the cloud increases to a certain level and the buoyancy of the air cannot support it, raindrops fall to the ground.】

【The so-called artificial rainfall is to use artificial methods to exert some influence on the clouds that may rain or are raining in the sky to achieve the purpose of increasing precipitation. Therefore, a more scientific method should be called artificial rainfall enhancement.】

【It is important to draw an important point here. Artificial methods can only work when the clouds have already precipitated or are close to precipitation. It is not like in the movie that artificial rainfall can be done anytime and anywhere. 】

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao:

"Boss, do you understand?"

"Can't understand. Zhu

Biao shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, he added:

"However, one thing I roughly understand is that this artificial rainfall will not be dropped by the Dragon Kingdom in future generations if it wants to."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

He also noticed this sentence.

【So, what is the specific method?】

【There are two main common methods】

【One is to use anti-aircraft guns, aircraft, and rockets to deliver the catalyst to the appropriate part of the cloud at the appropriate time and in the required dose.】

【The other is to arrange a combustion furnace on the ground and use the updraft to transport the catalyst into the cloud, where it becomes the condensation nucleus of the water droplets in the cloud, causing the water droplets to quickly condense around it and fall after reaching a certain volume.】

【These catalysts are mainly divided into three categories based on different physical conditions of clouds: refrigerants, artificial ice nuclei and hygroscopic agents. The first two categories are used for cold clouds with temperatures below zero, while hygroscopic agents are used for temperatures above zero. of warm clouds】

【The core of cold cloud catalysis is to increase the number of ice crystals in the cloud. This can be achieved by two methods. One is to spread refrigerant to reduce the temperature in the cloud. The dry ice we are familiar with is this type of refrigerant. The other is to directly Spreading artificial ice nuclei into clouds, such as the well-known silver iodide】

【Unlike cold clouds that have ice crystals, warm clouds rely on large water droplets for precipitation. At this time, hygroscopic agents, such as salt powder, urea, etc., must be used.】

【Once these hygroscopic agents enter the cloud, they can quickly and fully absorb the small water droplets in the cloud, then grow and expand themselves to form large water droplets, and finally fall into the rain we can see. 】

After watching the entire video, the ancients of all dynasties were completely stunned.

I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all!

The plane of Ming Taizu.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply:

"It seems that our country is unable to carry out artificial rainfall."

He couldn't understand or understand the narration subtitles on the giant screen.

Zhu Biaoshen felt the same way.

The artificial rainfall method used by the Dragon Kingdom in later generations was not something that the Ming Dynasty could hope for.

"Boss, tell me, we are all mortal countries, why is the Dragon Kingdom in later generations so much more powerful than our Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

Looking at history, he found that although there were many changes in the Ming Dynasty compared with the previous Chinese dynasties, they could not be said to have earth-shaking changes. This was not the case with the

Dragon Kingdom in later generations.

It was different from the Chinese dynasties. All the previous dynasties were completely different and extremely powerful, just like the kingdom of gods.

But they were all countries established by the sons and daughters of China. Why did this happen? I have seen the Dragon Kingdom in various videos before After becoming stronger, Zhu Yuanzhang had such a question in his mind. Zhu Biao naturally didn't know the answer to this question.

In the giant screen high in the sky.

Video refresh

【Who is the real master of the dynasty?】

【How can a wealthy gentry that controls resources bring down a country? 】

When these two lines of words appeared on the giant screen, many emperors in the past dynasties were suddenly shocked, and their eyes looking at the giant screen became more focused.

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin said to Li Zhi in a deep voice:

"Listen well, watch well, think carefully.~"

The struggle against the powerful gentry was a compulsory course for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The first step in the struggle is to have an accurate understanding of the noble families.

Li Shimin felt that the people of the Dragon Kingdom in later generations had thousands of years of experience and might have a deeper understanding of the noble families.

These understandings may help the emperor better deal with the noble family.

After hearing Li Shimin's instructions, Li Zhi nodded solemnly.

He was able to finally stand out from the competition in the Tang Dynasty to win the direct line system, so he was certainly not a mediocre person.

Behind Li Shimin and Li Zhi.

Changsun Wuji looked at the giant screen and sighed slightly in his heart.

There was an uneasiness in his heart. What future generations would say next would probably not be a good thing for the noble family.

And the reason why he was uneasy was because he was a member of the noble family.

He was born in Guanlong clan

【In ancient China, was the emperor the true master of a dynasty?】

【In fact, in ancient Chinese history, the one who really controlled China was never the supreme imperial power in our impression, but another force.】

【This force has different names in different historical periods and dynasties.】

【Maybe they are called princes, maybe they are called local powerful people, maybe they are called noble families, maybe they are called gentry and landlords.】

"The flowing emperor, the iron-clad family"

"This is not necessarily true. Periods with different scores depend on the specific situation. Imperial power is not necessarily suppressed."

"It feels a bit like the Song Dynasty's sharing of the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. In different periods, the imperial power shared the world with different power groups."

"Princes, powerful men, noble families, gentry and landlords are actually different concepts and not the same group."

"Reply - From the perspective of fighting against the imperial power, they can also be the same type of force"

"Reply - There is still a difference"

"…………"

In the planes of all dynasties.

Many emperors had different answers to this question.

Some firmly believe that they are the real masters of the dynasty.

And some people have to admit in their hearts that they are not the true masters of the dynasty.

【So how did this force penetrate into the center of power, and how did it secretly control the ancient dynasty?】

【Today, I just want to talk about this issue】

【First of all, let me be honest. The following content only represents my personal views. If you have any different opinions, please feel free to express them through barrage or leave a message in the comment area.】

【From ancient times to the present, in the operating system of human society, a few people have always led the majority of people.】

【Especially during the feudal period of ancient China】

【Because technology was relatively scarce at the time and information was transmitted slowly, if the ruler wanted to break through this management ceiling, he had to find some people who could manage the country with him.】

【These people are the princes from the pre-Qin period, the noble families from the Qin to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the gentry and landlords from the Northern Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty.】

"Is there something wrong here? Didn’t the clans only appear in the Eastern Han Dynasty and then reach their peak in the Wei and Jin Dynasties?"

"Reply - It is indeed not accurate enough to say that it started from the Qin Dynasty. It should have started to appear from the Western Han Dynasty." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Reply - If we regard the great nobles as family members, then it can be considered as starting from the Qin Dynasty"

"Reply - Generally speaking, it is said that it originated from the Han Dynasty, and the earliest one should be the Western Han Dynasty. However, at the beginning of its birth, the clan was not so powerful."

"…………"

The Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang listened to the narration on the giant screen high in the sky and looked at the barrages on the giant screen, his face extremely calm.

He doesn't think there are any noble families in Da Qin who can secretly control Da Qin.

The only master of the Qin Dynasty is Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng!

All people must prostrate themselves under his dragon throne

【How to balance the relationship between these people and the imperial power, so that they can successfully assist the emperor in governing the world, but not enough to overturn the entire imperial rule, is the main problem faced by the feudal emperors in ancient China. 】

As soon as these words came out.

Many emperors in the past dynasties slightly lowered their jaws.

This is indeed a problem that they need to spend a lot of energy to deal with

【Because the gentry descends from the princes and from the gentry and landlords, it can better reflect the particularity of this group and the inevitability of their control of the world. Therefore, in this issue, I will mainly talk about the gentry.】

【During the Western Han Dynasty, when selecting officials, due to the relative lack of knowledge and the lack of a socially recognized assessment standard, the selection method could only be based on recommendations and examinations as a supplement, which is the inspection system.】

【To put it simply, it relies on the central government, county governors, princes, and local senior officials to select talents from civilians or low-level officials according to certain standards who meet the needs of the ruling class at that time in terms of morality, conduct, and talents. Official in court】[]

【The people at the bottom had no access to knowledge, so the emperor would often intentionally or unintentionally avoid this group when selecting partners for cooperation.】

"In the Western Han Dynasty, it cannot be said that there was a lack of knowledge. It can only be said that there was a lack of fast channels for knowledge dissemination."

"With the level of productivity at that time, it was difficult for the people at the bottom to support themselves and their families, let alone learn cultural knowledge."

"Before the invention of paper and movable type, the dissemination of knowledge was too inconvenient and too expensive."

"Reply - The invention of these two things is extremely important for the spread of knowledge"

"Reply - Especially the paper, compared to the previous bamboo slips, it is a leap forward"

"Reply - Movable type printing is also very important. Compared with woodblock printing, it greatly reduces printing costs and makes printing simpler and more convenient."

"…………"

The Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang looked at the barrage and wondered:

"What are paper and movable type?"

Taizong Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin asked:

"Dear gentlemen, does anyone know what this movable type printing technology is?"

The Tang Dynasty was using engraving printing at this time.

Therefore, he was very interested in the better movable type printing mentioned in the barrage.

"Report back to Your Majesty, I don’t know."

Changsun Wuji and other ministers of the Tang Dynasty replied.

Movable type printing would not be available until hundreds of years later. Naturally, they would not have any understanding now.

After hearing everyone's answers, Li Shimin felt a little disappointed.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke Ordered:

"Auxiliary machine, add a clause in the imperial edict that anyone who can provide movable type printing technology to the imperial court will be heavily rewarded"

".Obey the decree. Changsun

Wuji replied respectfully.

【After all, the king of a country, who sits high in the temple, has a cooperative relationship with local officials.】

【The local governors of each state and county are responsible for the selection of the next governor of the state and county.】

【This also leads to the inevitable formation of a mutually binding relationship between the recommender and the recommended person.】

【They controlled knowledge, controlled the local economy, united with each other, and achieved a monopoly on local official positions.】

【In this case, ordinary people have no chance of being recommended.】

"So familiar feeling"

"A certain group calls an expert directly"

"…………"

【This group of people who seamlessly monopolized official positions was the source of the later"local powerful" group.】

【During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he suppressed the expansion of this group by issuing the"Order to Move Maoling", which moved local powerful people to their original places and consolidated their property, and effectively curbed the phenomenon of land annexation.】

【However, in the feudal era, it was inevitable that people would be destroyed and political power would cease. After the death of Emperor Wu, the local wealthy families developed rapidly again. During the reign of Emperors Xuan and Yuan, they gradually became uncontrollable. The court had to abolish this system in 40 BC.】

"Hey, in ancient times, it was normal for people to die and their government to die."

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still awesome"

"Although the methods may seem crude, they did effectively prevent the development of local tyrants."

"Liu Che is still a man of great talent and strategy, that is, he can only achieve this if he has strong martial ethics."

"In fact, starting from Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the centralization of power in the Western Han Dynasty was weakened, the wealthy families were powerful, and the entire finance was almost controlled by the wealthy families. The court had no money, and there was no other choice but to abolish Ling County."

"Reply - Also, the food supply in Guanzhong cannot support the rate of population expansion, even if Lingxian County is not abolished."

"Reply - Isn't this the opposite of the effect? It was because the imperial court was weak and allowed the wealthy families to take control of the finances before they had any money."

"Reply - The weakness of the imperial court has something to do with the witchcraft rebellion that caused constant turmoil in the Western Han Dynasty."

"…………"

The plane of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che's face was gloomy.

He did not expect that his"Order to Move Maoling" would be abolished so quickly in later generations.

"Short-sighted! Incompetent waste!"

Liu Che cursed angrily.

The local tyrants were powerful and would definitely threaten the imperial power.

To abolish the"Order of Moving Maoling", in Liu Che's view, was to abolish martial arts.

"It seems that these people cannot be given a chance to stand up."

Liu Che looked at the giant screen high in the sky, with a sharp look in his eyes.

【《After the"Order to Move Maoling" was abolished, local tyrants grew stronger and became more and more arrogant.】

【How powerful are these powerful people? During the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, they dared to assassinate officials at the feet of the Emperor of Chang'an, but nothing happened when the county magistrate went to arrest them.】

【why? Political power comes from the barrel of a gun, and people raise their own soldiers】

【In fact, the demise of all dynasties was related to land annexation】

【When local powerful people are powerful, it is impossible for local officials to tax their own families, so they can only impose high taxes on the people.】

【When people can no longer survive, they have to sell their fields or become tenant farmers to powerful men.】

【However, the tax revenue of the imperial court continued to increase, resulting in the taxation of the tenant farmers by the powerful powers being lower than that of the imperial court. Then the people would leave the imperial court and join the powerful powers.】

【Now that the powerful have the people's capital to rebel, in the end it becomes a vicious cycle and they can only watch the dynasty change. three】

【A strong imperial power can certainly destroy a powerful party, but the emergence of this group is essentially an inevitable outcome of feudal society.】

【As long as this dynasty still exists, and as long as the people who make up this dynasty are still people, even if the old forces are destroyed, new forces will eventually be born.】

"I don't understand why it can't be completely destroyed?"

"Reply - Personal understanding: In ancient times, productivity and communication means were limited. If the emperor wanted to control the grassroots, he had to rely on powerful men, powerful families, or gentry and landlords. In short, they were called this group of people in different periods."

"Reply - As long as the imperial power can go directly to the towns, then this group will be worthless. However, in ancient times it was impossible"

"Reply - The problem of land annexation cannot be solved even in towns and villages. This can only be accomplished by transforming an agricultural society into an industrial society."

"…………"

Many emperors in the past dynasties looked at the giant screen in the sky, thoughtfully.

These barrages gave them new revelations..
