"Why can't I understand Mr. Sun? Isn't this what you mean by cleverness?" Liu Qingchan continued to ask curiously.
Li Ke did not interrupt Sun Simiao, he just smiled.
"These are two concepts. When I say that His Highness is knowledgeable, I mean that His Highness knows a wide range of knowledge. It covers almost all aspects of life, and even involves many theories, but His Highness is not involved in these aspects deeply. , but some of his theories are correct. Take medicine as an example. Your Highness is not as knowledgeable as I am in the specific treatment of medicine, but some of His Highness’s ideas are more advanced than mine.”
"These concepts are not just based on medicine, but His Highness knows many aspects of knowledge, confirms each other, and then comes to the conclusion that everything in the world naturally has its own internal connection."
"But this situation... is actually very strange. To be honest, this kind of breadth of knowledge is theoretically difficult to appear in someone as young as His Highness. Unless His Highness is born with knowledge, otherwise, at least He must be in his sixties or seventies, have read hundreds of schools of thought, and must have traveled thousands of miles to have such extensive knowledge."
"But none of these His Highnesses have it." Sun Simiao glanced at Li Ke when he said this. Li Ke didn't care, but he was also filled with emotion in his heart, otherwise people would say that people become better with age.
Although Sun Simiao didn't know Li Ke's origin and identity, Sun Simiao used his knowledge to guess the answer that was very close to the truth.
As Sun Simiao said, in later generations, an ordinary twenty-year-old young man may not think much of the knowledge he has come into contact with, but in the Tang Dynasty... even someone like Sun Simiao, who spent his whole life walking around the country, It is difficult for people in the Tang Dynasty to receive such a breadth of knowledge.
This is the concept of technological progress, and this is why later generations born in the 1980s and 1990s think those children born in the 20s are so smart.
In fact, the truth is the same. Children born after the 20s receive far more information than children born after the 1980s!
The human brain is very magical. In fact, your brain has accepted a lot of knowledge for you that we usually don’t pay attention to at all.
A modern twenty-year-old college student, even if he is not good at politics, if he is thrown into the Tang Dynasty, and he happens to be a county magistrate, as long as he is not allowed to play dirty tricks, everyone will support him and let him If operated normally, this college student can definitely manage a county better than more than 90% of the county officials in Datang! Even bolder, ninety-nine percent.
This is how modern people accept information, which may seem of little use in modern times, but in fact they also play a huge role in daily life.
For example, Li Ke, a relatively outstanding social beast in later generations, knew that those aristocratic men in the West who claimed to be civilized often used a kind of service that ordinary people could hardly imagine: silver platter service.
In ancient times, which ordinary person could know this?
"Isn't that still smart? It means that His Highness is smarter and can see more things than anyone else." Liu Qingchan said proudly.
"Haha, that's right." Sun Simiao laughed twice.
"By the way, Master Sun, I have to trouble you with something." Li Ke remembered something, which was submitted by Tian Meng yesterday.
"What's up?"
"It's like this. The Ministry of Construction needs you to send a few experienced doctors to follow them in the construction work." Li Ke said.
"This is no problem. What are the main aspects?" Sun Simiao asked.
"Common illnesses such as headache, brain fever, wind and cold, and then trauma. There may be some serious trauma, such as the need for amputation. At the very least, you must have certain emergency response capabilities." Li Ke said seriously.
"In that case, it requires a relatively strong doctor, and he also needs to be trained by us." Sun Simiao thought about it seriously. Being able to deal with such a major trauma is not something that ordinary doctors can handle. This also requires special training from them.
"But what are they planning to build? Is it possible for such serious trauma to occur?" Sun Simiao looked at Li Ke curiously.
"Build roads and bridges." Li Ke smiled.
"No wonder." Sun Simiao didn't understand this, but he had seen the manpower used when building roads near Chang'an.
"In the short term, their working location will be near Chang'an, but the road will be built all the way to Chencang (Houbaoji), and eventually it will even stretch to Jincheng, Chihai City on Qinghai Road, etc. By then they will probably have to continue working all the way Follow, of course, you can rest assured about the welfare benefits, they are all affiliated with the Ministry of Construction of the Tang Dynasty and eat the national royal food." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Understood, I will make this clear to them when the time comes." Sun Simiao nodded. The doctor profession has not been particularly poor since ancient times, so Sun Simiao is not sure if there is anyone willing to follow the construction team. He has to go Have a good talk with the other person.
"But, do you want to build an official road all the way to Qinghai Road?" Sun Simiao asked curiously, "Build it directly with a concrete road?"
"Yes and no." Li Ke shook his head.
Naturally, this road cannot be built as a pipeline, but as a railway! To be precise, the first phase of the experimental railway was built from Chang'an to Chencang along the Wei River.
In fact, many national highways, county roads, and provincial roads in later generations are inherited from ancient pipelines. Especially the national highways and provincial highways that pass through mountains, excluding tunnels, are almost all ancient official roads.
When the official roads of the Tang Dynasty passed through the mountains, they also followed the edges of the river valleys in the mountains.
"New stuff?" Sun Simiao looked at Li Ke curiously.
"Of course, if it is completed by then, it may be possible to carry tens of thousands of tons of cargo thousands of miles a day." Li Ke said with a smile.
Sun Simiao was stunned for a moment. After following Li Ke for so long, he naturally had the concept of tons. After all, many of the medicinal materials they received now were calculated in tons. Tens of thousands of tons travel thousands of miles a day? ! If this is the case...then the Western Regions would not be called far away from the Tang Dynasty at all.
"Then you have to cultivate faster. I am ninety-six this year. I still want to live to see this day." Sun Simiao was very emotional. Although he was older, he was also very interested in new things. .
"Don't worry, you are in good health and you will definitely be able to see it." Li Ke's expression was somewhat strange.
It's true that you are ninety-six, but if you calculate according to the age in history, many babies born in the Tang Dynasty this year will not survive you.
