Li Qinzai's theory must be verified in practice. If he says something, Li Zhi will believe it. This emperor is too naive.
So while the king and his ministers were having dinner, Wang Changfu secretly ordered his guards to leave the village to verify Li Qinzai's mathematical formula.
The verification results were not bad at all, and Li Qinzai was right.
What surprised Li Zhi was not that Li Qinzai was very capable, but where Li Qinzai learned his unpredictable skills.
The Tang Dynasty was a very open dynasty. Although Confucianism was still the mainstream doctrine in the world, it did not restrict or prohibit other doctrines.
Taoism, Legalism, Mohism, Military, Yin-Yang, etc., these theories all have a market in the open Tang Dynasty. As long as you don't rebel, you can learn anything.
Li Zhi had heard more or less about other schools of thought, but he never knew which school Li Qinzai belonged to.
If he really had a master's background, Li Qinzai's master was indeed a rare talent for governing the world and would be of great use to the country.
After thinking about it, maybe Li Qinzai's ability is more inclined to Mohism.
The Mohists advocate universal love without attacking, and work on the study of mechanisms. The divine arm bow, horseshoes, and pulleys that Li Qinzai created earlier, as well as the so-called arithmetic formulas he created today, etc., all have more or less the shadow of the Mohist theory of mechanisms.
"Is he really a disciple of the Mo family?" Li Zhi frowned and murmured.
The Han Dynasty deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. The Mohist school gradually declined and almost disappeared from the world. There are basically no Mohist disciples walking around in the world.
However, before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were some knight-errants who did many evil deeds that claimed to eliminate violence but were actually extortion. Those knight-errants were all said to be descendants of the Mohist family.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that those knight-errants have nothing to do with the Mo family. They are just using the guise of the Mo family to cheat.
In Li Zhi's mind, the real descendant of the Mohist family was Li Qinzai. He was low-key, lazy, but clever and intelligent, and with just a move of his hand, he was something new and unheard of by the world.
Of course, for the emperor, Mohist thought did not cater to the emperor's thoughts, especially the so-called "love for all, non-aggression", calling for peace in the world, not to invade each other, etc.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has relied on conquering surrounding countries to become the king. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he was holding back a lot of energy and wanted to surpass the late emperor Li Shimin and become more powerful and more promising than his father. The second generation of Emperor Tiankhan.
Isn’t it a joke to love both sides without attacking? If I don’t attack, who will obey me?
Tiele in the north, Tubo in the west, Nanzhao in the south, Goguryeo in the east... Eudi, Eudi, all four!
At this moment, in Li Zhi's mind, he mistakenly identified Li Qinzai as a descendant of the Moh family.
Although Mohist thought is not practical, Mohist skills are of great use to the country. Li Qinzai has already demonstrated this with practical actions.
If Li Qinzai could teach the students of Datang what he had learned throughout his life, then inventions like pulleys and horseshoes would continue to emerge in Datang in the future.
Used in industry, in the military, in the people, and popularized all over the world, it will completely change the world.
Li Zhi's heart was moved. Today, Li Qinzai's formula gave him infinite shock. After the shock, there was expectation. From the perspective of the emperor, no matter what good things are, they must be used by the king and the people.
"Chang Fu, does the Imperial College have a clear plan for the Gongsheng students?" Li Zhi suddenly asked.
Wang Changfu said: "Yes, every year there are students from Mingshuang Ke Gong who enter the Imperial College to study, but the number is not too many, sometimes dozens, sometimes even only a dozen. Compared with Ming Jing Ke, there are too many students from Ming Shuang Ke. not enough."
To put it simply, Mingjing is a liberal arts subject and Mingshu is a science.
The science of Ming Jing is a subset of classics and history, famous works of sages, ways of governing a country, and strategies to bring peace to the world, which are the mainstream subjects of today's scientific examinations.
The subject of Mingshu is only about studying mathematics, geometry, Pythagorean and other subjects. Even if a high school scholar becomes an official, he is still a humble official with no real power, and there is basically no possibility of promotion. Therefore, most students in the world are unwilling to learn the subject of Mingshu.
After ten years of hardship, am I just trying to devote my life to the country silently?
No, I just want to be an official, a high official.
This is the universal value of students in this world.
"Tomorrow I will issue a decree. Feng Jingchu will be appointed as a doctor of the Imperial Academy and will teach students of Mingshu science." Li Zhi said decisively.
Wang Changfu was about to speak but stopped.
Li Zhi looked at him: "What do you want to say?"
"Your Majesty, I look at the look on Mr. Li's face today. It seems that... he doesn't want to take on too many things. Well, today your Majesty wanted to ask him to teach arithmetic students, but he immediately changed the subject. My servant is dead. I presume that Mr. Li's His temperament seems...very lazy."
Li Zhi was stunned for a long time, and then sighed dejectedly: "You guessed it right, he is just a lazy guy."
"I have been serving as a young officer in the Ordnance Supervision for two months. The people below said that he has never been to the Ordnance Supervision once. He doesn't even know where to open the door of the Ordnance Supervision."
"I can't live in the prosperous city of Chang'an, so I just hide in this village in the countryside and live a lazy life. If I grant him the title of Doctor of Imperial College, he will definitely be reluctant and will definitely refuse..."
Wang Changfu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the British Duke to come forward and persuade Young Supervisor Li? How can you not share your worries with your Majesty when you are deprived of your salary..."
Li Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth: "He really doesn't care about the emperor's salary. Not to mention anything else, he made that beauty cream in Chang'an City. The income in one year can keep him rich for half his life. The salary that the court gives him every year is only How much is it worth? Can it catch his eye?"
"As for asking the British Duke to speak out, it's probably not feasible. Even if the British Duke forces him to take office, Jingchu will definitely spend his days living alone and refuse to teach students attentively."
Wang Changfu didn't dare to say anything.
In the final analysis, he was just a eunuch. He occasionally helped Li Zhi, and it was his duty to be a flatterer. If he talked about state affairs in the court or the appointment and dismissal of officials in depth, Li Zhi would definitely feel disgusted. This is not something that eunuchs should get involved in.
After being silent for a long time, Li Zhi suddenly said: "Chang Fu, do you think the... formula that Jingchu listed today is useful for our country, the Tang Dynasty?"
Wang Changfu said hurriedly: "This servant only thinks it is very magical. Without leaving home, he can decide the outcome thousands of miles away with just a few strokes. This ability is amazing. If all your Majesty's ministers are such people, I am sure." Tang Hechou cannot conquer the world and benefit the world."
Li Zhi perked up and laughed: "Yes! This skill can be used by the country. It should be taught to students all over the world, so that our Tang Dynasty talents can emerge in large numbers, and there will be more pillars of the country like Jingchu. Why worry about the injustice of the world!" "
"It's not just the formula, but more importantly the person Jingchu. I'm really curious about how many abilities he has yet to reveal. These abilities cannot be lost and must be passed down to future generations so that the Tang Dynasty can protect the country for thousands of years."
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to be an official. I always have other ways to dig out his abilities, hum." A calculating light flashed in Li Zhi's eyes.
…………
In the middle of the night, in another wing room, Li Qinzai woke up again.
Others always see him as listless during the day, either basking in the sun or sleeping. Who knows how sleepless he is at night.
Qiao'er also has abilities, especially her ability to wet the bed every night, which she cannot learn from others.
After sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, Li Qinzai let out a long sigh, then got up, took Qiao'er, who was still sleeping, aside, and asked the maid to come in and change the mattress.
The maid left after changing, but Qiao'er suddenly woke up.
Seeing Li Qinzai looking at him speechlessly, and then looking at the clean mattress, Qiao'er's little face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.
"Dad, did Qiao'er wet the bed again?" Qiao'er asked timidly.
Li Qinzai smiled: "Yes, I wet the bed again. The amount was particularly heavy tonight. Did you drink a lot of water before going to bed?"
"Qu'er was thirsty before going to bed..." Qiao'er lowered her head and whispered.
"I don't blame you, and there is no need to bear any burden. Dad also wet the bed when he was a child, and he didn't stop peeing until he was eight years old." Li Qinzai said softly.
Qiao'er knelt on the bed and suddenly bowed to Li Qinzai and said, "It's wrong of Qiao'er to let dad work for Qiao'er in the middle of the night..."
Li Qinzai picked him up with one hand and said, "Okay, it's very hypocritical for father and son to say this. If you really understand my father, you can stop embarrassing me when he finds a stepmother for you in the future."
"Dad, do you want to find a stepmother for Qiao'er?"
"I'm not looking for a stepmother for you, the main reason is that dad wants a stepmother, and you don't want to?"
Qiao'er thought for a while: "Will the stepmother know how to beat Qiao'er? Will she not give Qiao'er food to eat?"
Li Qinzai's eyes widened: "How dare she! If she treats Qiao'er even the slightest bit, I will beat her to death."
Qiao'er smiled: "That's okay, dad, go find my mother-in-law. There are a few good-looking girls in the village, and they are quite familiar with Qiao'er. Qiao'er can introduce them to dad someday."
Li Qinzai was shocked: "You... do you know all the girls in Zhuangzi?"
"We all know each other, they are young, and they are all well-behaved..."
"Uh, when you say 'not old', how old is it?"
Qiao'er thought for a while and said, "There are five-year-olds, and there are also six- or seven-year-olds. No matter how young they are, it won't work. Anyone younger than five years old loves to cry and make noise, and Qiao'er doesn't like it."
"Are you going to introduce a five-year-old girl to be my mother-in-law?"
"There are also six or seven-year-olds. Dad can choose at will. After he has chosen Qiao'er, he will tell her parents."
Li Qinzai nodded. He is indeed your father's great son. Knowing that your father has bad teeth, he specially fed your father tender grass. His filial piety is clearly visible.
It's not just young grass, it's just a small sprout that has just emerged.
"Go to bed now. I won't worry about finding my mother-in-law. I'll figure it out myself..." Li Qinzai sighed.
"Yeah!" Qiao'er nestled in his arms and closed her eyes.
The room became quiet.
After a long time, Qiao'er suddenly opened her eyes, stared at Li Qinzai's face and whispered: "Dad..."
"What?"
"Can dad just wait for Qiao'er? Qiao'er will grow up quickly. When Qiao'er grows up, he won't wet the bed, and dad won't have to work so hard."
Li Qinzai sniffed and tried his best to smile: "Don't worry, you will grow up slowly. Dad can afford to wait."
Qiao'er smiled innocently in his arms, then closed her eyes and fell asleep slowly.
The leaves outside the window are rustling, like a gift given to the world by the passage of time, with a sound of thought.
It's silence, it's tears, it's growth.
