Winter has just passed, and the temperature difference between day and night in Chang'an City has been a bit large recently. It was quite warm during the day, but the wind became cold again at night.
Li Chunfeng's half-mad and half-demon state spread for a while.
In the East Palace, Li Chengqian was very puzzled when he heard the news, "Why is this Li Chunfeng crazy?"
The attendant in the East Palace replied: "His Royal Highness, it is said that he became like this after meeting Zhang Yang."
"Zhang Yang……"
Li Chengqian put down his pen, frowned and said, "Gu Ye thinks this Zhang Yang is quite weird. His temperament is somewhat unpredictable."
The attendant stood aside and said, "Is this Zhang Yang too high in numeracy?"
"It is said that this Zhang Yang is indeed accomplished in numerology, but he is not higher than Taoist Master Li Chunfeng."
The attendant nodded pertinently.
Li Chengqian added: "Taoist Li Chunfeng has been studying mathematics for half his life. No matter whether he is a person in court or a person in the street, no one has higher attainments than Taoist Li Chunfeng. As far as I know, Taoist Li Chunfeng has long-distance calculations." The realm of Yishu is very close.”
After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian couldn't understand, "How can a good person go crazy?"
With a long sigh, Li Chengqian said: "Take some pastries from our East Palace to express condolences to Taoist Li Chunfeng, and say that I hope he can get well soon."
"Here."
Just as the attendant was about to leave, he said, "Your Highness, I heard that Princess Runan has already visited the fiefdom."
Li Chengqian nodded slightly, "How about the fiefdom?"
The attendant looked troubled and said: "It's just that the fiefdom is particularly dilapidated."
Smiling bitterly, Li Chengqian looked at the sunshine outside the palace and said: "Well, Zhang Yang and Yue'er's life is already very poor. Father gave them such a fiefdom. Not only did it not give them a good life, but it would be good if it didn't drag them down. ”
Li Chengqian had also met many princes and princesses, and would rather have a dilapidated fiefdom near Chang'an than a fiefdom in a remote place.
Just like Li Yuanchang tried every means to stay in Chang'an City.
Yue'er has been frail and sickly since she was a child.
The father also thought about leaving Yue'er in Chang'an City so that he could visit her from time to time. Although the fiefdom was a little barren, it was still a good thing.
At least Yue'er can stay in Chang'an City. Even if she goes to the fiefdom, it's not far from Chang'an City. It's a good thing.
When the Zhengdian Palace was established in the harem, Li Tai was in a very low mood. After all, the cake business was found out by his mother.
Li Tai told his mother about the swap of soap and cake business people.
After hearing this, Empress Changsun said: "Is this your idea or Zhang Yang's?"
Li Tai lowered his head and said, "Xu Jingzong said that he used this as an excuse to get acquainted with Zhang Yang."
Queen Changsun thought of Xu Jingzong, who was also one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace.
At that time, His Majesty was still able to ascend the throne, and the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace were also the force that His Majesty relied on most.
It's just that some of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace back then were already in high positions, and others were in their respective positions.
But there are also a few that have not been used yet.
Xu Jingzong was a bachelor of the Prince of Qin's Mansion back then. At that time, there were many talented people in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, but Xu Jingzong's strategy and resourcefulness were not outstanding.
Now he is just a small court official.
Empress Changsun said to Li Tai: "The original eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace each had their own strengths. Do you know why your father is still unwilling to reuse Xu Jingzong?"
"My son is puzzled."
Empress Changsun looked serious, "Mother doesn't want to talk too much about government affairs. Emperor Qin said that Xu Jingzong is a very thoughtful person. Some people have too many thoughts. Qingque, you are still young, and you can't see through some people. You have to be cautious in everything.”
"My mother's teachings should be remembered by my sons and ministers."
Queen Changsun nodded, "Okay, you can go back too."
Li Tai saluted and said, "My son, please retire."
Your Majesty will raise some issues regarding Xu Jingzong, but Empress Changsun doesn't care.
After Li Tai left, Li Shimin also walked into the Ganlu Hall, "Did you talk about Qingque?"
Empress Changsun nodded slightly, "After scolding me, Qingque is a sensible kid, so he has no excuses."
Li Shimin took off his court clothes and said, "This kid Zhang Yang is also a wonderful man. He is very good at numerology. Doctor Sun said that he also knows medical skills, can provide some insights on political affairs, and can do business? I find this person more and more incredible." .”
Having such a son-in-law Li Shimin is a bit distressing and a bit unexpected.
What Li Shimin really wants now is this kind of talent with no background and simple connections.
If Zhang Yang can wash away the brilliance, he is also a talent that can be developed.
Li Shimin sat down and relaxed his back, "I am living a miserable and poor life in the palace, but these boys can still make money outside."
Li Zhi, who was only two years old, was still taking a nap on the bed. Queen Changsun looked at him fondly.
Li Shimin's words sounded like he was jealous, and he had an attitude of hating iron for being unable to make steel.
Taking the hot tea brought by the palace maid, Li Shimin said: "I don't know how many abilities this boy Zhang Yang has."
Queen Changsun said: "Qingque was inspired by Zhang Yang and collected a lot of miscellaneous books."
"There are many strange people in this world. I hope Zhang Yang can cherish his talent. There are also many people who are talented when they are young but have no progress when they get older."
Chang'an City, under the warm sunshine.
Zhang Yang was playing cards with his wife at home. "There was news from the fiefdom that the construction of the village has begun."
Li Yue nodded, "Yeah."
The two were playing cards when Aunt Wang came over and said, "Your Highness, Taoist Priest Li Chunfeng is here."
Zhang Yang looked up. Li Chunfeng stood at the door with his beard and hair a little messy and his eyes dull.
He took out a piece of cloth and said, "It's endless, it's endless."
It's like a person who is dying of thirst in the desert and will fall over at any time.
Zhang Yang helped him sit down and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Master."
Li Chunfeng pointed at the calculations on the silk with trembling fingers and said, "I am not as good as others."
He lowered his head feebly, as if his entire Taoist heart had been shattered.
Zhang Yang said: "Actually, I think as long as we know the algorithm, it's enough. Why do we have to know the answer?"
Li Chunfeng looked at Zhang Yang blankly.
Zhang Yang poured him a cup of hot tea and said, "Master Taoist, please take a sip of tea."
Li Chunfeng's eyes looked much better after taking a sip of hot tea. "It's really a trick of the world. I almost forgot my humility in front of the math skills. It was your question that made me think of this humility again."
As if the shackles on his body were being opened, Li Chunfeng slowly stood up after drinking tea, "If a person loses that humility in front of knowledge, sooner or later he will be lost because of his arrogance. It was you who pulled me back from the lost path. "
What Taoist Li Chunfeng said made people feel goosebumps.
Li Chunfeng held Zhang Yang's hand and said, "Thank you very much. I will definitely work harder to study mathematics in the future."
"You're welcome."
Zhang Yang quickly withdrew his hand.
Li Chunfeng added: "Your attainments in mathematics are not low. We should meet more often so that we can exchange more experiences on mathematics in the future."
"Study together? Make progress together?"
Li Chunfeng nodded heavily, moved himself, "That's it, let's make progress together and learn together!"
Li Yue also pursed her lips and smiled. The result of not distinguishing between top and bottom is the best.
Li Chunfeng asked again: "I don't know who taught the Prince Consort the math skills."
Zhang Yang said: "I have a lot of teachers. As I get older, my teachers also change. In fact, in the eyes of the teachers, I am not a very good student. On the contrary, there are many students with better grades. After all, I am just Just a bad student."
Thinking back to later math classes and taking exams again and again, it still feels like a nightmare when I think about it now.
Although the results are not bad, they cannot be said to be good.
At that time, I was called to the office every day and scratched my head to answer questions under the watchful eye of the teacher.
Looking back on those days, there was gain in the pain.
Every formula is in my memory and has never been forgotten.
There were two wooden boards hanging on the wall of his house, and Zhang Yang turned over one of them.
When he saw the back of the board, Li Chunfeng was stunned for a moment.
This wooden board has complex geometric diagrams painted on it, as well as densely packed formulas, written all over the board.
This was left behind when Li Yue was doing the questions.
Li Chunfeng looked at the wooden board and hesitated and said: "This is..."
Zhang Yang said: "Taoist Li Chunfeng doesn't need to pay too much attention to those formulas and symbols."
After studying numerology for half his life, Li Chunfeng can more or less see the meaning of these geometric illustrations, and can roughly guess the meaning of those symbols.
It's like opening the door to a new world.
Li Chunfeng looked at the board with fiery eyes.
Hmm... It's like looking at a girl without any clothes on.
Li Chunfeng murmured to himself: "Yes, this should be the calculation, it will be faster..."
After a while, Li Chunfeng said: "Can you let me write down the calculations above? I have had some enlightenment. These calculations have greatly inspired me in my mathematical attainments."
Li Chunfeng is a Taoist priest obsessed with mathematics, and I am afraid that he will seek death and survival for the sake of mathematics.
Zhang Yang said: "This board will be given to Taoist priest Li Chunfeng."
"good!"
Li Chunfeng nodded quickly, "I will always keep this kindness in my heart. If you need help in the future, I will definitely help you."
After saying that, he held Zhang Yang's hand again.
Why does this ancient man want to hold other people's hands and touch them when he gets excited? Such an awkward habit.
Zhang Yang pulled his hand back again, "You're welcome."
After taking off the wooden board hanging on the wall, Li Chunfeng left with satisfaction, his steps becoming much firmer.
Li Yue whispered: "Why don't you show Taoist Priest Li Chunfeng another piece of wood."
The other board is a physics topic. If Li Chunfeng is involved in geometry and mathematics, then the physics topic is another field.
Li Yue is still learning mechanical conversions.
Mathematics can be understood by Li Chunfeng.
But physics is another story, and many concepts even subvert the common sense of ancient people.
Li Yue is like a blank sheet of paper. She can accept some knowledge of mechanics and slowly shape her understanding of everything in the world.
But people like Li Chunfeng have already formed an inherent concept. It is still unclear whether people like him can accept physics.
Even some physical theories are subversive to him.
Zhang Yang said: "Give Taoist Priest Li Chunfeng some leeway, don't really drive people crazy."
Li Yue smiled and said nothing more.
Many people in the palace saw Li Chunfeng returning to the Taishi Bureau with a big wooden board in his arms. As soon as he came back, he went into seclusion again and said that they would not disturb him for the past two months.
Fortunately, during this retreat, Li Chunfeng did not act crazy. At least in everyone's eyes, he became much normal.
Half a month after the end of the Great Court Meeting, many people from the Western Regions left Chang'an City, and some envoys still stayed in Chang'an City.
Only the Turkic envoys and Tuyuhun, and the Tibetan Prime Minister Ludongzan were left.
The three of them still have many things to resolve.
During the war between Tuyuhun and Tubo, as well as the last assassination, Li Shimin deliberately left behind Turkic envoys to frighten many Turkic tribes.
Sometimes it's good to be a bad friend, because you can legitimately base your happiness on the pain of your bad friend.
Zhang Yang made fried dumplings at home and Li Yue finished breakfast.
Li Yue and her two aunts are sorting out some fabrics and satins and making new clothes for next spring.
Zhang Yang went out with some endless fried dumplings.
There were too many people in the post house now. Zhang Yang didn't know until he arrived at the gate of the post house that Cheng Chumo and Li Tai had changed the meeting place.
All the way to Qujiang Pool, it is much cleaner here.
It seems that everyone is in business together, so it is really not appropriate to split money in a noisy place.
In a waterside pavilion in Qujiang Pool, Cheng Chumo and Li Tai were sitting here.
Zhang Yang held a snack box and handed it to Li Tai, "The fried dumplings you want to eat."
Li Tai opened the food box, took the dumplings and started eating, "I knew you wouldn't embarrass me."
A bad friend is a friend who can still eat meat and drink together after a day, no matter how unhappy they were before.
Zhang Yang looked at the two of them and said, "I recently want to renovate the fiefdom. I wonder if you two are interested in buying shares."
After paying off the previous debt, Li Tai also had some spare money in his hands.
Li Tai said: "I heard that the fiefdom is very barren, and I'm afraid I'll lose everything."
"I have an idea to turn the fiefdom into a tourist attraction. There will be tourists in Lishan Mountain during the spring outing. In summer, people will go to Lishan Mountain to escape the heat. In autumn, there will be beautiful autumn scenery in Lishan Mountain. In winter, there will be beautiful snow scenery. How wonderful. What a place."
"Moreover, there is also a palace in Lishan, and His Majesty also likes to go there. This is another sign."
Li Tai said melancholy: "But that place is very poor."
Sighing, Zhang Yang said: "His Royal Highness, King Wei, is too short-sighted. Don't just think that the fiefdom is poor now, it still has great potential."
"Where does the potential come from? In my opinion, the cake business has great potential."
"I also plan to sell some weird food in the fiefdom that people have never eaten, such as roasted flower duck, braised chicken, braised duck feet, twists, donuts..."
"Wait a minute!" Li Tai interrupted immediately: "What is that donut? Is it delicious?"
Zhang Yang looked regretful, "It seems that His Highness the King of Wei is unwilling to take risks. It is excusable and I will not force him."
