"I know that you kid sometimes likes to hide your clumsiness on purpose, and you still have a lot of skills that you haven't used yet!"
Hearing Li Zexuan's sincere admiration, there was no joy on Li Er's face. He stared at Li Zexuan for a long time, which made Li Zexuan think he had flowers on his face. Li Er finally spoke and continued:
"So, I want to tell you today, don't be timid, and don't be afraid that too much credit will arouse my suspicion. Boy, do it with confidence and boldness, no matter how much ability you have, just use it all! As long as you can make meritorious deeds, I will dare Reward! In my place, no one can take away your credit, let alone your great achievements! I can tolerate thousands of people in our Tang Dynasty, how can I not tolerate you?"
"My goal is to surpass the Qin Emperor and Han Wu and achieve unparalleled hegemony. I hope that all my ministers can make full use of their talents, instead of just caring about their own interests and being timid in doing things! Boy, do you understand?"
Li Er once again showed his broad mind and ambition to Li Zexuan. After listening to this, Li Zexuan had to admire Li Er's sharp vision, because he was indeed timid in doing things and deliberately hiding his clumsiness. He was afraid of the results of his hard work. , was picked off the peach, so he never seriously promoted the commercialization of the telegraph machine.
Although there were technical difficulties, those were all excuses. After all, he had no motivation to solve the difficulties.
"Your Majesty is wise! I believe that the Tang Dynasty will definitely become more prosperous and prosperous under your Majesty's governance, far exceeding any previous dynasty!"
Li Zexuan solemnly raised his hands.
"Ha~!"
Li Er shook his head, not satisfied, and said: "I have said so much, what do you think?"
Li Zexuan knew that he could no longer fool around. He suddenly remembered that Li Er called him here today to criticize him for malicious revenge on Cui Shanyou and others! But now, the topic has been infinitely distorted...
Li Zexuan couldn't help but mourn for Cui Shanyou and others...
"I admire His Majesty's grand ambitions very much. Many of the things I did were not originally intended to be rewarded by His Majesty, such as Quyuanli. At that time, I just wanted to help my own farmers. I didn't think about using it at first. Benefiting all the people, I never thought about obtaining rewards through it, but His Majesty has clear rewards and punishments. In just a few months, I have transformed from a white body to a full fifth-grade Imperial College Supervisor, and even obtained a hereditary title. I In a few months, many people have gone through a career that takes them a lifetime."
"I thought that the bigger the official position and the higher the title, the happier I would be! But this is not the case!"
"Since I was promoted to the Imperial College, I have worked hard and devoted myself to the students' learning every day. Even so, I was still jointly impeached by Dr. Cui and others. The three charges against the eight doctors and the impeachment of this minister are still vivid to this day. Now, the conversation I had with Kong Jijiu this morning also made me feel very chilled!"
"I have been studying martial arts in the mountains with my master for eight years. In addition to martial arts, I have only acquired 30% of my master's knowledge. Even so, it is enough to benefit me for the rest of my life. When I joined the Imperial Academy, it was just to learn from my master. One of the things I learned - new arithmetic - spread out, but I didn't expect that after I was promoted to the Imperial Academy, I would be impeached so quickly."
"So, I just want to leave a trace of my master's wisdom in the world, and I don't want to get involved in the fight for fame and fortune! I don't want to take the position of Imperial Supervisor!"
When Li Er heard this, he remembered that he had called Li Zexuan here today to vindicate Cui Shanyou and others, but he did not expect that the topic would be taken so far. Apart from embarrassment, he was even more angry in his heart, because he had just talked to Li Zexuan. Having said so much, is it all in vain?
"Bastard! After just a few impeachments, are you going to resign and go home? Look at your little potential! If Taoist Master Lingxu was still alive, he would definitely be ashamed of you! He has all the skills, but he is timid and afraid. How can you achieve great things if you are afraid of the future? I just told you so much, did you not listen at all? "
"Besides, I haven't made a conclusion yet on the three counts of Cui Shanyou's impeachment. Why are you so anxious? Do you think I will unjustly accuse you?"
Li Er patted Long An and scolded angrily.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood! The reason why I resigned from the position of Director of the Imperial College is because I want to focus on cultivating a group of "engineering" talents in the future and pass on all the knowledge I learned from my tutor. Being in a high position will only make people feel uncomfortable. I was immersed in the whirlpool of power, intrigued by others, unable to extricate myself, and wasted my good years!"
Li Zexuan looked calm and replied with his hands in hand.
Although he was cold-hearted towards Kong Yingda, he never gave up on spreading modern science to the children of the Tang Dynasty, and never gave up on the past to create some interesting modern products. His dream was to enjoy the benefits of modern technology in the Tang Dynasty. For the convenience brought by life, it would be best if you could stay at home, chat and play games online. Of course, this is a bit far away and can only be thought about in dreams.
"What is "engineering"?"
Li Er asked in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, the knowledge that I learned from my tutor includes arithmetic, physics, chemistry, mechanics, electricity, electromagnetism, etc. I call these knowledges engineering! There is another important reason why I want to leave the Imperial College. The reason is that except for arithmetic, the Imperial College does not offer corresponding subjects for other subjects. Moreover, in the eyes of some great Confucian scholars, these subjects will definitely be classified as miscellaneous studies."
"Which is better between miscellaneous studies and Confucianism? I won't judge now, and I don't want to provoke a school dispute. I'll see for myself in three years! Therefore, I want to stay away from this whirlpool, concentrate on studying, and transfer the knowledge of my family's teachers to Carry forward the science of engineering to comfort the souls of our teachers in heaven!"
Li Zexuan replied solemnly.
Li Er's expression softened slightly, he nodded and asked:
"What's the use of the engineering studies you're talking about?"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and replied:
"Your Majesty, the study of engineering is actually the study of engineering. As the saying goes, "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools." Engineering is equivalent to a whetstone. Only with it can we work more efficiently. Like the Naqu shaft plow that I built before, with it, farmers can cultivate the land faster and with less effort."
"I believe that within three years, these engineering talents trained by me will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes in the Tang Dynasty. By then, there will be a means of transportation faster than horse-drawn carriages. From Chang'an to Luoyang, maybe in one day Within a short time, you can run back and forth! There will be faster methods of transmitting messages, and transmitting messages thousands of miles will no longer be a dream! There will also be sharper weapons, tougher armors! And so on."
