Prince Wei's Mansion, Literature Museum.
There were a dozen or so middle-aged scribes walking around in the mountains and seas of books, consulting classics, discussing with each other in low voices, or flipping through books and files while taking notes. The room was filled with people. There is a strong smell of books, and I have to say that there are so many books in Li Tai's literature library, at least ten thousand volumes, which is almost equivalent to a smaller library.
And what is Li Tai doing~?
This little fat man is currently holding a book and immersed in reading at a desk by the window. His expression is sometimes shocked and sometimes intoxicated, as if there is a peerless beauty in the book. Ah, there should be a table of peerless delicacies. It was so delicious that he got stuck in it and couldn't extricate himself.
Ahem, to be honest, for Li Tai now, the attraction of beauty is far less than that of delicious food~!
"Your Highness~!"
At this moment, a gray-robed scribe walked in from outside. He came to Li Tai's side and shouted in a low voice.
There was only silence in response to him. Li Tai still sat there motionless, without even raising his eyes. It seemed that he didn't hear at all.
The gray-robed scribe had no choice but to increase his volume and continue shouting: "Your Highness~! Your Highness~!"
But he was muttering in his heart: Ever since His Highness King Wei entered the Imperial College to study, he has never read as seriously as he does now. What happened today~? It’s so strange~!
"Hmm~?"
Li Tai finally realized that someone was calling him. He raised his head and looked at the person. A trace of apology immediately appeared on his face. He stood up and said, "Ahem~! I got a new book, and I was fascinated by it for a moment. Alright~! What’s wrong with Academician Xiao~?”
The gray-robed scribe in front of me is named Xiao Deyan. He is a bachelor of Hongwenguan. He was born into a family of officials. His father and grandfather were both high-ranking officials in the Chen Kingdom during the Southern Dynasties. During the Wude period, he served as Prince Xima, a vassal of the East Palace. This person belongs to that kind of person. People who spend their entire lives pursuing knowledge and truth are not enthusiastic about fame, fortune, and officialdom. They are "dedicated to learning, from day to night, without any rest. Every time they want to read the Five Classics, they must put on their belts, wash their hands, and sit in danger." To that."
If history develops according to its normal trajectory, Xiao Deyan will become one of the major contributors to Li Tai's "Kuo Di Zhi" in a few years.
"Your Highness~! Your Majesty just sent someone to send a message, saying that he wants you to enter the palace~!"
Of course Xiao Deyan would not be angry with a child like Li Tai. When Li Tai came to his senses, he quickly replied.
"Oh~! I will go there now~!"
Li Tai closed the book with some reluctance, then straightened his clothes and went out.
As for the book, of course he couldn't take it with him, but left it on the table. The literature library belonged to him, so what did he have to worry about putting his own book in it~?
"What kind of book is this~? I have read all the books in the literature library, why have I never seen this book~?"
After Li Tai left, Xiao Deyan was about to turn around and go about his own business, but was suddenly attracted by the book on the table that Li Tai had just closed with no word on the cover. He stood in front of the table and murmured to himself: .

"My son, please see your father~!"
In the Manlu Hall, the chubby Li Tai walked in with small steps and bowed to Li Er. He looked quite happy. No wonder Li Er always loved his son~!
"Qingque is here~? No courtesy~!"
Li Er raised his head when he heard the sound and smiled slightly.
Li Tai straightened up, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, father~!"
Li Er smiled, then put down the half-reviewed memorial in his hand, and asked: "I heard that Qingque, you haven't been to Yunshan in the past few days~?"
"Back to my father, it's true~!"
"That being the case, why are you still in such a hurry these days~? I don't see you entering the palace to greet me and your mother~?"
Li Er frowned and asked in a deep voice.
After Li Tai went to Yunshan to help build the academy, Empress Changsun felt sorry for her son who was tired from traveling back and forth every day, so she exempted Li Tai from the routine of visiting the palace to greet him every day. Now, for some unknown reason, Li Tai came back from Yunshan, but He still didn't enter the palace to say hello, which made Li Er a little unhappy.
Regarding his sons, he can tolerate their dull qualifications, but he will not tolerate their disloyalty and unfilial piety~!
Li Taifei blushed. To be honest, he had not visited the palace to say hello for a long time, so he had forgotten about this. Of course, this was something he could never say out loud. He had a legitimate reason:
"This is indeed my negligence. I will go to greet my mother later~! I have been really busy these days. I hope my father will atone for his sins~!"
"Are you busy~? What are you busy with~?"
"Back to my father, these are some studies that my husband gave to my son~! Yanhuang Academy is about to start school. Mr. Li has been compiling teaching materials behind closed doors for the past month. From what he said, my son seems to be planning to open four courses for newly admitted students. courses, namely arithmetic, physics, chemistry and geography.
About seven days ago, Mr. Li brought his son back from Yunshan Mountain just because he wanted him to participate in the compilation of geography textbooks~! Therefore, in the past few days, my son has been collecting ancient books and documents with other scholars in the literature museum for reference~! "
After hearing this, Li Er's face became a little brighter. He frowned and thought for a while, then stood up and asked: "Geography~? Doesn't he teach engineering~? What kind of geography does he teach~? This kid really thinks that he knows astronomy from above and knowledge from below. Isn’t Zhuge Kongming the best in geography~?”
Hearing this, Li Tai looked slightly excited and said: "Father, Mr. Li really understands geography~! This morning, Mr. sent the first draft of the "Geography" textbook to my son's house. When I opened it, I was deeply involved in it. , unable to extricate myself, even did not eat lunch~! Some of the new concepts proposed by Mr. Longitude, latitude, contours, sea level, etc. in the book made me feel as if a new world had been opened~! This "Geography" The teaching materials are definitely comparable to any previous mountain and river classics~!”
Li Er was slightly moved. He knows his son better than his father. Li Tai is a kid who has always set his sights high. A book that he can highly praise must be something special~!
"Latitude and longitude, contour lines, sea level? What are these~?"
Li Tai cupped his hands and said: "Father, to put it simply, the longitude and latitude means that Mr. has designated a set of data for each place on the map to facilitate finding the location on the map. Contour lines are curves that distinguish the height of the terrain on the map. The plane is the average height of the sea surface, which is used as a reference for the height of the terrain on the ground~!"
Li Er frowned when he heard what Li Tai said. He didn't understand a word of what Li Tai said, so he frowned and said, "Where is that "Geography" textbook now~? I want to see what magic it is~"
