Li Qinzai’s understanding of the so-called monarch and his ministers playing against each other is that the emperor and his ministers sat together and chatted.
It's just that this kind of chat is very ritualistic, and the content of the chat is relatively serious, roughly similar to the way employees in previous lives showed project PPTs to their bosses.
When you meet an expert boss, explain everything clearly in detail, and the logic of every idea should not be confused.
If you meet an amateur boss, treat him as a fool and be prepared to revise the plan N times in advance. Of course, the boss will most likely choose the first plan in the end.
Li Zhi is obviously not an outsider. He has been on the throne for twelve years, and the Tang Dynasty has been clear and bright inside and outside. Although it is not a prosperous era, in these twelve years, the Tang Dynasty has accumulated enough foundation for a prosperous era.
The world only knows about the "Reign of Zhenguan", but few people know that after the Reign of Zhenguan, Li Zhi inherited the legacy of Zhenguan in the first few years after he ascended the throne. Historians call those years the "Reign of Yonghui".
Li Zhi just kept a low profile, he was not shy.
Li Qinzai made the divine arm bow, horseshoes, pulleys and other items. Li Zhizhi was so wise that he knew the importance of these three things to the Tang Dynasty without being reminded by others.
Technology can change a country's strategy.
This statement is no exaggeration.
The emergence of the Divine Arm Bow can change the battlefield array of the Tang Dynasty during its foreign campaigns and increase the winning rate.
With the emergence of horseshoes, the Tang Dynasty no longer had any scruples to expand its cavalry army, and battle formation charges could maintain its absolute advantage.
The emergence of the pulley block can greatly save the cost of manpower and material resources in Datang, regardless of the people's livelihood or the army.
Not only did it save money and rice for the national treasury, but it also allowed the saved civilian labor to be invested in farmland and workshops, which indirectly contributed to the increase in grain revenue in the Tang Dynasty.
All three are great contributions. After careful calculation, Li Zhi didn't even know how to reward Li Qinzai.
Li Zhi's friendly attitude indeed made Li Qinzai relax a lot.
The first conversation between two strangers, in addition to the exchange of information, also enhances the understanding between the two parties. They can detect each other's bottom line through their words, deeds, and expressions.
It is certain that Li Zhi is a very generous person, and it is easy to chat with him. As long as he does not have a bottle of wine to blow his head open, Li Zhi will not care about small mistakes such as saying the wrong thing.
A bit like the honest big brother next door.
"I'm calling you to report today. I don't ask about state affairs or seek the best advice. I'm just curious about you. How did you come up with these things? Is there any truth in it?" Li Zhi asked curiously.
The people in the middle school kept silent and brushed the books.
Li Qinzai lost his concentration again and kept glancing at him.
I'm a bit paranoid. I always suspect that this guy is secretly writing bad things about me. I really want to grab his paper and see clearly. If he dares to make up a sentence, he will be punished.
Li Zhi saw that Li Qinzai kept glancing at Shiren, but he was not angry. Instead, he looked at him with a smile.
After waiting for a long time, Li Qinzai didn't reply. He couldn't help but become anxious. Finally he couldn't help but raise his head and remind him: "What are you waiting for to reply to Your Majesty?"
Li Qinzai was shocked and hurriedly apologized: "I have behaved inappropriately. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Haha, I'm not guilty. Jing Chu will tell you carefully."
Li Zhi suddenly changed his title and called him by his nickname, which undoubtedly took the initiative to bring the monarch and his ministers closer by a big step.
Li Qinzai pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Your Majesty, everything in the world has its laws. As long as we can master the secrets, we can improve the tools we use and make them more effective, saving manpower and material resources for the people of the world."
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but sit up straighter: "I would like to hear the details."
At this point, we really got to the point.
Li Qinzai scratched his head. The thing was built, but in terms of principles, it was really difficult. It involved knowledge of physics, mathematics, etc.
With Li Zhi's IQ, he can look down on the world. I really don't look down on him when it comes to physics problems. He probably doesn't even understand the basic formulas.
So Li Qinzai looked around, trying to find something to vividly explain the principles of physics.
The first thing he saw was Zhongshu Sheren. There was nothing he could do about it. In the main hall today, Li Qinzai paid more attention to this Zhongshu Sheren than Li Zhi.
I always suspect that he is writing bad things about himself...
Li Qinzai immediately stood up and walked to Shiren.
Toneri looked at him with a confused expression, and the two looked at each other for a long time.
Li Qinzai finally stretched out his hand and said, "Can you please lend me two pieces of paper?"
Li Qinzai moved his head over like lightning, trying to peek at what Shiren had just written.
Unexpectedly, Sheren was extremely agile and faster than Li Qinzai. As fast as lightning, he took away the paper full of words and stared at him with a vigilant face.
Peeping failed!
Li Qinzai touched his nose nonchalantly, tut, stingy.
Shiren pulled out two pieces of paper from the desk and gave them to him. His eyes were fixed on Li Qinzai's movements, and his other hand was guarding the paper full of words. His eyes were as guarding against thieves as they were, making Li Qinzai feel a little bit insulted.
A silent secret war, Li Qinzai did not take advantage.
This guy is a character, Li Qinzai thought to himself.
"You haven't asked me your name yet?" Li Qinzai politely bowed his hand.
Sheren glanced at him and said calmly: "My surname is Cui, Cui Sheng."
Another surname is Cui! Li Qinzai currently doesn't have a good impression of people named Cui. No wonder I felt at odds with this fellow as soon as I entered the palace today.
The roommate named Cui just added coldly: "I am from the Cui family in Qingzhou, and the lady of the Cui family who you are marrying is my roommate..."
Li Qinzai couldn't take a breath and started coughing loudly, which was heartbreaking.
What the heck, he turned out to be my brother-in-law! Why didn't anyone tell me?
I wish I could commit suicide on the spot and leave you without a brother-in-law, so I ask you if you are afraid.
Li Qinzai refused his own marriage, and he even refused to the brother-in-law in front of him.
Even the courtesy ceremony was omitted. Li Qinzai pretended not to hear and quickly turned his head away.
The wife has run away, and of course the brother-in-law no longer exists.
Li Zhi smiled and stared at the two of them with interest and said, "So Jingchu is married to the Cui family in Qingzhou?"
Li Qinzai was startled and said hurriedly: "I am so dissolute and ridiculous, how can I be worthy of Miss Cui's family?"
Cui Sheng, a member of the Zhongshu House, glanced at him and snorted lightly in his nostrils.
Li Zhi said with a smile: "Jing Chu is so humble. With your talents, you can be worthy of being a princess of the Tian family."
Li Qinzai was relieved when he saw that Li Zhi's expression remained the same and he didn't seem to care about the British Duke's marriage to a noble family.
Li Ji's original words came to mind. The Tian family was not just in opposition to the aristocratic family, but actually needed to be used and defended, just checks and balances. The relationship was very complicated.
Obviously, Li Ji was right.
The marriage between the Li family and the Cui family did not offend Li Zhi's sensitive points.
Li Qinzai quickly changed the topic, walked to Li Zhi and sat down in front of Li Zhi holding two pieces of paper.
"Your Majesty, the only principles of all things are movement and stillness." Li Qinzai pointed to the paper on the table and said, "For example, if you want to throw a piece of paper as far as possible with all your strength, what should you do?"
Li Zhi thought for a while, grabbed a piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it out as hard as he could.
The ball of paper fell to the ground two feet away.
Li Qinzai smiled and said, "I have another way."
As he spoke, Li Qinzai quickly folded another piece of paper into a paper airplane, breathed a sigh of relief, and threw it toward the palace door...
The paper plane swayed, made circles in the air, and then flew outward smoothly and slowly.
When the plane landed, it had already flown out of the palace gate and was six feet away from Li Qinzai, much further than the paper ball thrown by Li Zhi.
Li Zhi's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face. Even Cui Sheng, who was busy writing at the side, also showed surprise. He looked at Li Qinzai with complicated eyes, and then continued writing silently.
"Jingchu, how did you do that?" Li Zhi said in surprise: "It's also paper, how come you can fly so far after just a few folds?"
"To put it simply, I make use of the floating force and inertial potential energy in the air. As long as you master the principle, you can use everything in the world for your own use, including air, sunlight, etc."
"Whether I made the divine arm bow or the pulley set, I used the principles behind them."
Li Zhi looked at him blankly. Although he didn't understand it at all, he was... so amazing!
After a while, Li Zhi asked curiously: "You breathed a sigh of relief at it just before throwing it. What does that breath mean?"
Li Qinzai's cheek twitched.
There is really no explanation for this tone. It belongs to the realm of metaphysics and cannot be explained.
