Taking Li Shimin to Huaqing Pool again, Zhang Yang put down baskets of wooden barrels filled with saltpeter.
The saltpeter quickly reacted with the water, and Li Shimin also followed Zhang Yang's example and took off his coat. The monarch and his ministers sat in the Huaqing Pool, and the cold water immediately made the heat disappear.
The palace maid handed over a bottle of chilled ale, and Li Shimin took a sip of the ale, eh! The moment is even more beautiful.
Staring at Zhang Yang's pants, Li Shimin said suspiciously: "These pants of yours..." Zhang Yang explained: "These are pants I designed myself. The length just reaches the knees. They are very cool to wear in summer." Li Shimin said solemnly: " Is it made of silk?”
"Yeah." Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Silk is lighter and doesn't weigh much on you."
"Hmph! Clothes that don't cover your body are indecent." Li Shimin scorned it, took the meat skewers handed over by Li Zhi and said, "Slave slave, you don't have to imitate your brother-in-law on this point."
"Please remember this." Li Shimin nodded while eating meat skewers. It was so cool when the mountain breeze blew by, and after taking a sip of wine, I almost forgot what I was doing here.
First he cleared his throat, and Li Shimin said: "This time there is unrest in Tubo, should I kill you?" Zhang Yang leaned his hands against the stone wall of Huaqing Pool,
"The hundred pounds are here, waiting to be dealt with. If Your Majesty kills me, who will take charge of the overall situation of Tibet in the future? Moreover, our Diplomatic Academy has never stirred up civil strife. Songtsen Gampo is responsible for all this." Continue listening. Based on his sophistry, there are many reasons to kill him, so you might as well listen to his words.
"We from the Diplomatic Academy sent people to Tubo to get in touch with the local customs there, to understand the behaviors and customs of the Tubo people, and record them in the eucalyptus. In addition to here, our people will also help the Tubo people solve various problems. For Your Majesty, this is Is it also instigating civil strife?" Zhang Yang nodded and continued: "The civil strife in Tubo was caused by Songtsen Gampo's own inability to manage it, and it suffered backlash. The unrest was caused by the lower-class people of Tibet. They were dissatisfied with Songtsen Gampo's governance policy. Could it be that Is it our Diplomatic Academy’s fault?”
"Justice prevails in people's hearts. I think Songtsen Gampo is a smart man. He will use your Majesty to deal with me and alienate our monarchs and ministers. Your Majesty should not be provoked." Zhang Yang swam to the small waterfall on the side,
"Recently, Lishan has been researching a very magical creature. With this thing, our productivity in Lishan can reach a higher level. Don't you want this result?" The result...not to mention whether Zhang Yang is really there. The kind of creation in question.
This kid still has value. It would be a pity to kill him now. It would be a pity to kill him. He still has value.
Li Shimin looked at Zhang Yang like a piece of fat meat waiting to be slaughtered. This piece of fat has more and more oil and water.
Putting aside his thoughts of killing again, Li Shimin nodded and said: "This matter is not clear yet. When Songtsen Gampo arrives in Chang'an City, justice will be done." After soaking in the pool for a while, he stood up slowly and whispered: "Before this, I have to deal with the impeachment of the courtiers. You will be fined for another five years. We will discuss further punishments after Songtsen Gampo arrives in Chang'an City." The emperor left, walking very quickly.
There is no room for rebuttal at all. Zhang Yang swam to the shore, got up angrily, and roared to the sky: "My salary! I have been the Minister of Etiquette for four years, and I have not received a day's salary! You punish me!" He roared in the direction where the emperor left, and the roar could be heard. far away.
But the vicious Tian Khan did not come back, and he left decisively. Finding that his trousers had been pulled away, Zhang Yang looked down and saw that it was Li Zhi.
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, what can you do?" Li Zhi looked at his brother-in-law's lush leg hair, then raised his head and said, "Does your father like to pay fines very much?" Pulling Li Zhi, Zhang Yang scolded his father. , talking about His Majesty’s faults, His Majesty’s narrow-mindedness and calculations.
Seeing Yue'er holding her forehead and not daring to face him, how could she say such things about her father in front of the child slave. Zhang Yang put on his coat and said to him: "His Royal Highness, King Jin, will my brother-in-law be nice to you?" Li Zhi was still holding a bunch of meat in his hand and chewing it in his mouth. He was only ten years old, and his eyes were innocent and cute.
Compared with the original Li Tai, Li Zhi fits the image of a child in this way. He can be deceived by adults and let it go without refuting.
Zhang Yang was lying on the deck chair beside Huaqing Pool,
"Your Highness Prince Jin, you must remember how kind your brother-in-law is to you in the future. If your father is unhappy and wants to kill me in the future, you must speak up for your brother-in-law."
"Well, I must help my brother-in-law." Li Zhi thought again with his little head.
"Father will not kill my brother-in-law." Zhang Yang turned over and said calmly: "That's because you are still young. You will know when you grow up."
"Yes." Li Zhi looked dumbfounded and could only nod in agreement. Every night, the couple would always study the volume and confirm the scientific outline of the first volume. It is best to understand it from an easy-to-understand aspect.
Li Yue looked at the first article written by her husband. The first article was about the spread of light, using vivid pictures to describe the principle of light.
It looked quite interesting, she said with a smile: "Will the children do these interesting things after reading the book?" These are drawn based on the impressions in the textbooks when they were children. There are some differences, even if they are If there is a difference, it won't be too far off.
After writing the first article on the propagation of light, the second article is on the refraction of light. Zhang Yang took a sip of tea.
"Your father was fined me with a salary for five years. I originally thought that after one more year, the salary I was fined at that time would be over. I didn't expect that after five years, it would be another five years. I would not be able to get my salary in this life."
"My family is so rich, why do I still think about these salaries?" Li Yue put down the article in her hand and said,
"Xiao Sizi will sleep at home tonight, husband, please do as you please."
"ah?"
"Yes." As he spoke, Xiao Sizi ran in and threw himself into Li Yue's arms. Zhang Yang sat alone in the study, looking at the messy books on his desk, and suddenly lost the idea of continuing to write.
At midnight, Li Zhi got up and went to the latrine to relieve himself. He heard the sound of shoveling in the distance. He looked curiously into the distance and saw a hazy figure under the moonlight, which seemed to be burying something.
The mountain breeze blew by, making the place even more eerie, and the shadow reflected by the moonlight in the pine forest in the distance was very scary, like a monster with teeth and claws.
He immediately thought of the rumors in the palace and fled quickly in fear. The next morning, just after dawn, Zhang Yang prepared meals for a large family and a group of children.
Li Zhi told Dongyang what happened last night, and Dongyang told Li Lizhi about it. Soon what happened to Li Zhi last night spread among the children.
What Li Zhi said was very impressive. This incident also reached Li Yue's ears. He recalled that when he lived in Chang'an, he would bury money at home in the middle of the night.
With this thought, she turned to look at her husband.
"It's time to eat." Zhang Yang waved. It has become increasingly rare for my brother-in-law to cook for himself recently. The children immediately sat around and ate the steamed buns and cake soup on the table.
Pulling her husband aside, Li Yue asked curiously: "Was my husband there last night..."
"I couldn't sleep last night, so I went to loosen the soil in the hot spring pool."
"So that's it." Li Yue nodded thoughtfully, and had to smile: "My husband doesn't know something. He scared the little slave last night. Don't do it at night next time." He explained clearly to the children. Misunderstanding, but I’m not afraid anymore.
Today I have to teach the children, and today it is my turn. They will only be in Lishan for these two days. According to His Majesty's plan, they will return to Chang'an City in the next two days, and these children will also go back with them.
Zhang Yang wrote a sentence on the wooden board, materialism and idealism,
"What did you think of when you saw these five words?" Xiao Qingqing also imitated the prince and listened to the class together.
Seeing that the children were silent, Zhang Yang added: "In fact, materialism and idealism are opposites, and they have different explanations for many origins."
"My world is made of matter, including ourselves. This is materialism." At this point, Zhang Yang said again: "It's like His Highness the King of Jin met me in loose soil last night. He was afraid because he didn't have enough in his heart. Be firm, if I were my brother-in-law, I would definitely arrest him and send him to the government." The children laughed again.
The lecture was very interesting, and Li Yue listened quietly. She had never heard her husband talk about this kind of knowledge before, but it sounded very interesting.
Zhang Yang added: "When we are dialectical, we must always think about what the thing itself is, then we will not have so much hesitation and confusion. Of course, in dialectics we admit contradictions."
"There is a man named Aristotle, he said metaphysics..." A lesson on materialism and idealism sowed seeds in the hearts of children.
After the lecture, the children wrote notes about the class. Li Zhi didn't understand much. He clumsily took his notes and recorded what the emperor wrote.
The rest of the time is left to the children to discuss on their own. Li Yue said curiously: "I have never heard my husband talk about this knowledge before." Zhang Yang held her shoulders and looked at the children,
"My teacher used to say that as long as you understand the spirit of it, you will be fearless, and you will not be afraid of monsters and monsters in the world."
"So the stories in Liaozhai are all made up."
"Liao Zhai writes strange stories, but it talks about various situations in the world. This is not the same thing. It is just a metaphor for irony. The human heart is more terrifying, isn't it?" The couple could talk about this kind of knowledge for a long time. Auntie was arranging the bowl quickly. She could still listen to the conversation between the princess and the county prince before, and she could still understand it at that time.
As the princess learned more from the magistrate, the conversation became more bizarre and difficult to understand. Regardless of government affairs or these knowledge, this is not just a talk about being short-sighted, but also an obscure and difficult-to-understand talk about how to live in the world and how to be a human being.
When they have nothing to do, the two aunts will also listen to some, sometimes they can understand, sometimes they can't.
Leave these dialectical thoughts in the children's minds. Materialism can make them stronger, and their hearts will be stronger than the vast majority of people in the Tang Dynasty today.
Who knows that these children are all disciples of his wife's Lishan School. They are both younger brothers and sisters and disciples. They can teach more.
There are many old scholars in the Central Plains, including Huang Lao, Confucian scholars, and Taoists. What Lishan teaches is a brand-new knowledge, which has the most powerful spiritual power.
Children learn knowledge and skills in Lishan. At the foot of Lishan Mountain, Li Shimin came to Li Tai's residence. The queen often brought people to visit here. She knew that Qingque lacked everything here, so she rarely came to ask about it.
Among the children, Qingque is the smartest and the one who needs the least care. He has been very clever since he was a child, and after following Zhang Yang, he was able to take care of the palace, for which the queen praised him a lot.
The furnishings of Li Tai's residence are very simple. There is an empty courtyard with only a table and a chair.
There are kitchen utensils placed in the corner of the yard. The cooking area is neatly tidied. Those strange iron kitchen utensils are the same as those in Zhang Yang's home.
Walking into the house, the furnishings in the house are as simple as a roll, an oil lamp, and a quilt, and the quilt is a soft quilt.
The house is very clean and seems to be cleaned every day. There is even a stove, and when you turn on the pot on the stove, the tea eggs are still warm.
Li Shimin picked up a tea egg, peeled the shell and ate it slowly. He built a thatched shed in the yard to enjoy the shade in the summer and even grew some vegetables.
"Eh? Isn't this a courgette from the Western Regions?" Li Shimin ate the tea egg and picked off the only melon on the vine, then started chewing it on the spot.
Knowing that his father was coming, Li Tai asked his guards to come in a hurry carrying a pot. The sweat on his back was wet from running all the way, and he saluted, "Father." Li Shimin nodded in understanding,
"I heard that Zhang Yang is currently working on a new creation. Did you know?"
"My son, I have been inspired by my brother-in-law to do something recently." Li Tai asked someone to put down a pot.
"Back to my father, this is it." Li Shimin chewed courgette in his mouth.
"What is this?"
"This thing is called a pressure cooker."
"Hehehe..." Li Shimin sneered. It turned out to be a kitchen utensil used for cooking. He also said that it could take Lishan's productivity to a higher level.
He was indeed playing with me in the lake. Li Tai was still rummaging through the parts in the package, planning to show them to his father, but then he turned around and saw that his father had left quickly.
Holding a wheel and bracket in his hand, Li Tai asked doubtfully: "Huh? Why is Father gone? Is he busy with something?"
"Maybe so." The guard whispered back. Li Tai walked to the entrance of the hospital, saluted at the back of his father as he left, and then came back to continue the experiment. He installed the bracket on top of the pressure cooker and then installed the wheels.
Pour water into the pot until it is half full. It took Master Jiang three to five days to build this pot. Li Tai lit the fire and burned the pressure cooker with excitement in his eyes.
He took out the tea eggs from the house and looked at the wheels on the pressure cooker while eating them. While waiting for any movement, a palace maid hurriedly came over.
"Your Highness King Wei, this is the portrait sent by the Queen. Please take a look at it." Li Tai looked back and slowly opened the scroll.
"Whose girl is this?"
"It's Yan. I wonder what His Royal Highness the King of Wei thinks? I want to report it back to the queen." Thinking that his mother was still planning for his marriage, he ate the eggs and asked, "Well, does his girl like tea eggs?"
