"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Marquis. It's just that I won't receive any reward for no merit. I can't accept this generous gift from you for no reason -"
Wei Zheng glanced at Wang Zi'an and shook his head resolutely.
Although he was very jealous of the warm house in front of him, he was not really shopkeeper Li's old accountant, but Wei Zheng, the secretary-supervisor of the Tang Dynasty. If he really accepts something as valuable as Wang Zi'an, he will lose his confidence to speak in court in the future.
Especially when the topic may involve Wang Zi'an.
Wang Zi’an:……
If you can, don't eat and drink in my house——
Wang Zi'an complained silently in his heart.
"Come on, do you want to go in and experience it first--"
Since he refused, Wang Zi'an did not force himself and made a gesture of invitation to the two of them with a smile.
At this time, it was just getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the sparse flowers and trees on the stainless steel glass, covering it with a hazy glow. From the outside, it looked like a gleaming Crystal Palace.
So rich!
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng sighed silently in their hearts and followed Wang Zi'an in.
Although it has just been built and the fruits and vegetables have not been planted yet, the cobblestone paths inside have been repaired, and the place for people to rest and drink tea has been placed at a designated location in the middle.
Probably because I tried floor heating after it was built, the greenhouse feels as warm as spring.
He casually took off his heavy robe and hung it on the small clothes hanger next to him.
"Sure enough, rich people just know how to enjoy it——"
Li Shimin held the smooth and exquisitely polished recliner and slowly lay down, shaking it from time to time while sighing. Wei Zheng also stretched his old cold legs, with an envious look in his eyes.
It would be great to have this thing.
If nothing else, just my old cold legs would save me a lot of trouble.
Wang Zi'an glanced at Wei Zheng.
"You must have had cold legs for quite some time. I'll help you get some plasters later - remember to dress warmly and keep the room warm, otherwise it will affect the curative effect..."
"Then I would like to thank you in advance - this old cold leg has been around for many years and I have seen many doctors, but unfortunately it has not been of much use. This disease is considered a terminal illness that cannot die, and it can be relieved by taking medicine. Points, how serious it would be if you didn’t take medicine - later I got angry and stopped watching. It was a complete waste of money..."
Looking at Wei Zheng who looked resigned to his fate, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but laugh.
"Look at what you said, it's just Lao Han's leg. It's not a real terminal disease, it's just that it's more troublesome to treat -"
When Wei Zheng heard this, he immediately became interested.
"You mean, you can cure it?"
The prince was happy when he settled down.
"It's so new. I can't tell you the truth if it can't cure the disease - I am also an unknown doctor who knows a little bit about medical skills..."
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng:...
Ah, this——
You do know a little bit!
"Remember to come here for an injection every two days, and soak your feet in hot water every night. I will help you prescribe some decoction to replenish your qi and blood, and use the plaster I prepared for you. It will be almost done. If you think about it, Hurry up, I can also teach you a set of massage techniques - by the way, speaking of this, Lao Wei, let me ask you something, how many young and beautiful girls do you have in your family? Let me tell you, age I'm old and my blood and energy are insufficient, so I have to pay attention to moderation..."
Wei Zheng was quite moved when he first heard it. While listening, he memorized it carefully, but when he heard it at the end, his face suddenly darkened.
This bitch is making fun of me again!
Instruct the kitchen to serve some side dishes to go with the wine.
Now, after this period of training, the chefs in his back kitchen have greatly improved their skills. Although they cannot make very complicated dishes, they can already make simple ordinary side dishes with a seventy-eight-point taste.
Wang Zi'an didn't seek complete blame.
Although it was only at a seven or eight-point standard, it was still comparable to the feast he had in his previous life, so what else could he ask for?
When I traveled back in time, I didn't want to open a restaurant and be a cook.
The life of the rich and idle people in the Tang Dynasty started with not having to cook by themselves——
The taste is so beautiful!
He called Xue Rengui to accompany him, and they drank slowly. When they were half drunk, Li Shimin pretended to be casual and took out a book, put it gently on the table, pointed at a few big words on the cover, and said with a genuine smile .
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry forward the unique knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations. Son-in-law, your book is really ambitious -"
Ah, they have all been printed.
During this period of time, I didn't care about those old men. Unexpectedly, it has been printed into a book.
Looking at the magazine that suddenly appeared in front of him, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but feel slightly ashamed. After he started going there once, he never bothered with it again. Then, the group of old men started to generate electricity for love one by one. I worked all day and night to get this thing out.
And the efficiency is so high.
You glanced at Li Shimin sideways.
He joked half-seriously.
"You have great hands and eyes. I don't even know it here, but you already have it there——"
Li Shimin pretended not to understand the teasing in this brat's words, slowly took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
"Who are you looking down on? Your father-in-law and I are also a man with great hands and eyes. There is nothing you can hide from me in Chang'an City..."
"Ha-so, you were caught and put in Wannian County Prison..."
Wang Zi'an raised his eyebrows and clinked a drink with him with a smile.
Li Shimin:...
"Well, that was just an accident. An accident - by the way, I looked at it and saw that they were all famous scholars from the Imperial College - why, do you want to rely on this to break the knowledge monopoly you mentioned?"
Although Li Shimin pretended to be casually shaking the goblet in his hand, his eyes were fixed on Wang Zi'an.
"What kind of knowledge monopoly are you breaking? I don't understand what you are saying at all -"
Wang Zi'an leaned back lazily on his chair.
"I am just a rich and idle man, a lazy prince, and I can't care about so many bad things. I am such a pure person. I just want to set up my mind for the world, to establish my destiny for the people, to inherit the unique knowledge of the saints, and to create peace for all generations. ——Ah, by the way, I will accumulate good deeds and help those old men pass on their lifetime research results..."
Li Shimin:...
Wei Zheng:......
I believe you as a ghost!
"Well, establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations - that's very well said, son-in-law, you are well done -"
Li Shimin laughed and clinked a drink with him, pretending to be casual.
"For such a grand event for scholars, I feel like it's a bit lacking in just using the teachings of the old gentlemen from the Imperial College?"
Wang Zi'an was preparing the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables. He couldn't help but pause slightly and glanced at Li Shimin in surprise. Then he calmly picked up the chopsticks and put them into his mouth with a relaxed expression. I asked casually while chewing.
"What's the meaning?"
"To carry on the unique knowledge to the saints - the great scholars in this world are not just old gentlemen like the Imperial College -"
As Li Shimin spoke, he glanced at Wang Zi'an thoughtfully.
"What my boss said makes sense, but what each family has learned has always been kept secret. Even their own children must be carefully selected and passed through various tests before they can be taught. I'm worried that they may not be interested in this so-called nature magazine. Even if If His Majesty summoned you forcefully, he would do it perfunctorily, right?"
Wei Zheng stood by and praised him with tacit understanding.
Haha - I'm so promising now, I can even sing the oboe.
Wang Zi'an glanced at them with a half-smile, raised the small wine glass, took a sip, and then gently put the glass down. Li Shimin subconsciously wanted to pick up the jug and pour wine, but he missed it.
"Just let the disciples come -"
Xue Rengui smiled friendly at Li Shimin, then picked up the wine bottle and filled it for several people one by one.
Li Shimin:...
Suddenly I felt like tears were streaming down my face. It was not easy. This job was finally taken away by someone.
Well, Xue Rengui, right?
Zian said that he was his most promising disciple, so he remembered it, and when he finished his studies and became a disciple, he would rush over to him.
"Never mind them. They like to submit articles but don't. They like to be perfunctory but not perfunctory——"
Holding the wine glass, Wang Zi'an stood up, walked to the edge of the greenhouse, looked at the gorgeous sunset on the horizon through the glass, and chanted in a sweet voice.
"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk - why bother with them?"
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk!
This brat is still as good as ever, with perfect sentences.
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh silently in their hearts.
It's a pity that this brat is obviously extremely talented, but he never refuses to participate in any poetry gatherings. Even calligraphy is hard to see...
However, at this time, they did not care to appreciate these two lingering poems. Their minds were focused on Wang Zi'an's words.
Why bother with them?
"Are you going to just abandon them?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but frown slightly, showing a trace of doubt.
In this way, it is not impossible, because the people in the Imperial College are indeed chosen for the moment. Pulling out this group of people can really create some momentum and barely break the family's knowledge monopoly.
As for the effect, it's really hard to say.
Because the Imperial College has always been there and has been recruiting students, but the aristocratic family has a profound foundation and a large number of talents, the group of people trained by the imperial court have fallen behind in the end.
"What should I put aside? Don't think about it in such a complicated way. Can the knowledge of us scholars be tainted by the dirty thoughts of those politicians?"
Wang Zi'an glanced at the two of them with disdain.
"You have such dirty minds——"
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng:...
"We are a group of pure people, noble people, people who want to delve into knowledge, people who want to establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations - it is simple I just run a magazine..."
Wang Zi'an looked serious.
It made Li Shimin and Wei Zheng almost doubt their lives.
If I hadn't known this brat's temper on weekdays, I would have almost been deceived by him.
"speak English!"
Li Shimin glared at Wang Zi'an angrily.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but curl his lips. These two bitches were really incapable of complimenting them. Things that were so elegant, so noble, and so pure had to be said in such a vulgar and dirty way.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
"As expected, Xia Chong can't talk to Bingye - I can't communicate with you common people at all - I just want to run my own magazine well, why do I have to think about it so much?"
Seeing that the two of them were still confused, Wang Zi'an was a little discouraged and had to sit back again with the wine glass in hand and said angrily.
"I don't care about their nonsense. They don't care what they want. Anyway, I will print as hard as I can. If 10,000 copies don't work, I will print 20,000 copies. If 20,000 copies don't work, I will print 30,000, 40,000, 50,000. In less than half a year, naturally, The magazine will be known to all women and children..."
Having said this, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"I want to build Nature Magazine into the top academic magazine in the Tang Dynasty and a holy place in the minds of readers in the Tang Dynasty. Some people are unwilling to publish academic articles in it? Think too much. Even if they want to publish it, they have to First, let’s see if they are qualified and have enough weight—whether they are great scholars, whether they are really knowledgeable. It doesn’t matter what they say. You have to ask the old men at Nature Magazine if they agree..."
hiss--
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng couldn't help but gasped in unison!
This is to directly take the right to evaluate into your hands!
Throughout the dynasties, this evaluation power has been in the hands of those aristocratic families. Who has good knowledge and who has deep knowledge depends on whether they recognize it. Which family's descendants have good knowledge and strong abilities also depends on whether they recognize it.
But now, this brat actually has such a plan to grab this evaluation right directly!
More powerful than I imagined.
Who are Li Shimin and Wei Zheng?
That is also an outstanding person who will leave his name in history.
When Wang Zi'an said this, they understood the key.
They didn't believe it if other people wanted to do this and beat them to death, but when Wang Zi'an said he wanted to do this, they felt it was reliable, because they felt that Wang Zi'an's matter was almost done.
First of all, the flag is correct.
Suddenly he stood on the moral high ground.
"Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry forward the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations."
Don't worry about whether this is arrogance or not, just ask him whether he deserves this pursuit and responsibility, whether he is right or not!
Secondly, Prince An can print books.
Others publish works by copying, but this piece of shit relies on printing.
It's simply cheating. He hasn't even finished copying one copy here, but he may have printed tens of thousands of copies over there. The most important thing is that this piece of shit is rich, and the thief doesn't use money as money.
He really dared to print tens of thousands of copies.
When it comes to learning, sometimes it depends on the depth and breadth of an influence.
Everyone in the world knows it, how can the scholars in the world not know it?
Then you must know!
If you want to know, you must learn——
At that time, whoever is praised by this thing will be the authentic and learned leader in the world.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought gave lectures everywhere. It was to expand their influence.
In the past, everyone relied on word of mouth and lectures.
Not now, this piece of shit like Wang Zi'an, he has money and technology, but now he relies on money to throw away his money!
If you have money, you are so arrogant!
What's more, this piece of shit now has the most powerful propaganda tool at hand, Datang Evening News. It's hard for this magazine not to be popular.
When I thought about the situation in the Tang Dynasty where the knowledge promoted in nature magazines was overwhelming. What the scholars talked about was also the knowledge in nature magazines. However, those guys who took knowledge as their treasure were caught off guard and at a loss. Li Shimin I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth.
Damn it, well done!
"Zian, you are so dirty-"
Wei Zheng picked up the wine glass, touched it with Wang Zi'an with a look of disdain, then raised his head and drank it.
Li Shimin also happily picked up the wine glass, touched one with Wang Zi'an while he was stunned, and then drank it. Then, he put down his wine glass with satisfaction and praised with disdain.
"Son-in-law, your heart is too dirty——"
Wang Zi’an:……
Damn it, you two thieves!
