Jiajing thought for a while, the experiment site was at Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou, it was too far away, and he couldn't catch up.

Simply, change the place.

He said to Yan Song: "Yan Aiqing, although this matter is very small, it is related to the dispute between the imperial examination school and the science school. It is also extremely important. I want to see it myself!"

Yan Song was taken aback.

I go?

Things are getting bigger?

The emperor and queen are going to watch it?

However, Yan Song quickly thought of a way and said, "Your Majesty, you are concerned about state affairs, and I am very moved. Since the Emperor wants to see it, I will ask the Imperial Academy of Sciences to change the experimental location from Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou to Tongzhou in Beijing." How about the burning lighthouse?"

Many people know that Leifeng Pagoda is very famous, but they have never heard of the Lantern Tower in Beijing.

In fact, the Lantern Tower is even older than the Leifeng Pagoda.

Its full name is the Lighting Buddha Relic Pagoda. It was built in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, more than 1000 years ago in the Ming Dynasty!For thousands of years, it has been a sign of entering Beijing along Tongzhou.

This light-burning tower is 56 meters high and has [-] floors, symbolizing the highest number of floors in the pagoda.Like the Tianning Temple Pagoda, it is also a densely eaves pagoda with closely overlapping eaves. Although it cannot be seen from a distance, it does not hinder the experiment with two iron balls at all.

By the way, in the history of Galileo, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, where two iron ball experiments were performed, is 55 meters high from the ground to the top of the tower, which is almost exactly the same as the burning lighthouse.

Therefore, Yan Song made such suggestions.

When Jiajing heard this, Longyan was delighted, and said repeatedly: "That's great! This lighthouse has been burning for more than 1000 years, and the incense is at its peak. I still want to go and see it. It just so happened that we went together this time."

Although Jiajing Dao does not believe in Buddhism, it does not exclude monks, and it is always possible to go around.

Yan Song respectfully said: "The minister will go down to make arrangements. Ten days later, two iron ball experiments will be held at the Lighthouse in Beijing."

Li Guangxi snorted coldly, and said to Manchao Wenwu: "I hope Mr. Yan Ge, you don't play tricks, we will also send someone to supervise when the time comes! This is related to the reputation of my Saint Sect."

Yan Song smiled slightly: "Welcome to the supervisor! Welcome!"

This banquet ended here, but the whole Ming Dynasty was set on fire.

That night, major newspapers frantically reported on the incident.

"The two (good) iron ball experiments have been upgraded again! The two factions of the imperial examination and science have been triggered, and they will fight with each other at the emperor's banquet!"

"Emperor Jiajing decided to move the two iron ball experiments to Beijing to light the lighthouse!"

"Dr. Guozijian was stunned by scolding! The prison is making a big bet with Ouyang Yijing!"

"The truth about the Battle of Fengyang was exposed! Li Zicheng died of ignorance! Ming won in mathematics, physics and chemistry!"

"The emperor and queen attended in person and witnessed the experiment on the spot!"

This time, the "two iron balls" experiment became a hundred times more popular than before!

If there is a hot search for this thing these years, the popularity of the keyword two iron balls must be the first in the hot search.

Whether it is in the streets and alleys, dignitaries or ordinary people, there is a lot of discussion.

"I'm going. Now things are getting bigger. It's not just about the millions of bonuses. Even the emperor and queen are going to participate."

"The two factions of imperial examinations and science are fighting each other, which is interesting."

"No, I have to find a way to get into the Randeng Temple immediately. Otherwise, I won't be able to witness this grand event, and my life will be incomplete."

"Protest, why didn't you do it on the Leifeng Pagoda? Moved to Beijing, what's the matter?"

"No, even if Beijing is far away, I still want to watch the excitement! If I don't watch it, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

Once this matter is exposed, it cannot be controlled.

The entire Ming Dynasty, young and old, talked about how this experiment with two iron balls was like.

Originally, if it was a few months ago, even if this experiment was thrown out, it would not have aroused such an enthusiastic response from everyone.After all, there was a severe natural disaster a few months ago, and food was a problem for ordinary people. Who cares about this?

But now that the disaster has gradually passed, agricultural production in Ming Dynasty has recovered rapidly, and the price of grain in the market has also dropped repeatedly. The price of a stone of rice has plummeted from the most expensive 9 taels of silver to the current 3 taels of silver.Seeing the meaning, it will be a thousand miles away, and it will return to the normal 2 taels of silver in the past. The common people are all happy.

Those unscrupulous businessmen who hoarded, collected a large amount of grain, and refused to sell it, as well as the big landlords, were crying in the toilet one by one.

If the food produced by one's own family is okay, it's just that they missed the opportunity to make a fortune, but many unscrupulous businessmen and big landlords wanted to make a fortune for the country, borrowed a lot of silver, hoarded it, and wanted to salvage a fortune, but they were all locked up.

They lost all their money, and some unscrupulous businessmen even went bankrupt and jumped into the river.

In short, the common people's life is better now, and food and clothing are no longer a problem. Seeing that Ming Dynasty is about to return to its former style, the common people have become interested in ideas, science, and philosophy, and they have paid attention to the two iron ball experiments with the million-dollar prize.

In ten days, more letters flew to Daming Academy of Sciences like a snowflake, and more people participated in the voting.

According to the final statistics as of the day before the experiment, a total of 3000 million people participated in the "two iron balls" experiment in Daming!

Of course, there are also many foreign businessmen and students living in Daming who voted to participate, but even so, it can be seen how fanatical and fascinated Daming people (bdfj) are for this scientific experiment, and their enthusiasm for participation is high.

These 3000 million votes each have their own supporters and various weird answers.

During these ten days, the newspapers have been full of articles, constantly reporting various preparations for this event.Including ten days ago, Yan Song issued an injunction in the name of the cabinet, and sent a whole team of Jinyi guards to surround the Lantern Temple in Tongzhou, and no one was allowed to enter.

Including Lu Bing, the governor of Jinyiwei, personally took people to the Randeng Temple, passed the customs of the monks in the temple one by one, checked the proof of innocence such as the degree certificate, and prevented someone from taking advantage of the vain to make trouble.
