While the two were talking, Qin Ming finished his experiment. He took out two paper boats from the water, put them in mid-air and gestured, saying:
"Look at the bottoms of these two boats. Does this paper boat with a pointed bottom have a deeper draft?"
The eyes of all the princesses widened and they nodded. At the same time, they looked at Qin Ming with even stronger admiration!
I just feel that Brother Ming is so awesome! Know everything!
After Li Shimin learned the cause and effect, he coughed lightly and asked doubtfully:
"This pointed-bottomed boat does have a deeper draft, but what does this mean?"
Qin Ming turned his head and explained:
"The deeper the ship's draft, the more stable it will be in the water!"
Li Shimin frowned and said:
"How can you see it? Why don't I know?"
Qin Ming rolled his eyes when he heard this. There are still many things you don't know!
"If you want to prove this, it's easy, just do another experiment."
Li Shimin immediately became interested when he heard this. After Queen Changsun's explanation, he now understood the meaning of the experiment.
"How to do?"
Qin Ming smiled mysteriously and said to Xia Zhu on the side:
"Xia Zhu, go to the wing and get two cattail fans."
Xia Zhu heard the words and said "Hey", then quickly walked out of the door.
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and had some guesses in their minds!
Qin Ming returned to his desk and was busy for a while. Soon he came back holding two paper boats with small flags in the middle.
Qin Ming pointed to the two small flags and said:
"Time is limited, so for the time being, consider these two small flags as sails."
At this moment, Xia Zhu also took the cattail leaf fan back.
Qin Ming looked around, first put the two paper boats into the basin, and then put the two ink sticks in respectively.
After doing this, Qin Ming picked up the cattail leaf fan and handed one to Princess Changle, while he took the other one.
"Li Zhi, take the Cattail Fan and fan these two paper boats vigorously."
Princess Changle nodded excitedly when she heard this, held the cattail leaf fan with both hands, and waved it vigorously.
At the same time, Qin Ming also started to fan.
"Pay attention to these two boats, which one will flood or capsize first."
When Li Shimin and others heard this, they stared at the two swaying paper boats.
After a while, Princess Yuzhang pointed to the flat-bottomed boat and said:
"Quick mother, look, that flat-bottomed boat has taken on water."
Empress Changsun nodded slightly, smiled and touched Yuzhang's head and said:
"The Queen Mother also saw it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the flat-bottomed boat overturned in the basin.
The other pointed-bottomed paper boat, although it kept swaying in the water, did not appear to be flooded.
When Qin Ming saw that the experiment had produced results, he asked Li Lizhi to stop.
Then Qin Ming picked up the paper boat with a pointed bottom, handed it to Li Shimin and said:
"Your Majesty, you can check to see if there is any water in this paper boat."
Li Shimin took the paper boat without hesitation, held it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly for a while, and was surprised when he found that there was indeed no water in it!
Every time I see this kid, I see something that subverts my understanding.
This morning's Quyuan plow was like this, and this little experiment was also like this.
I don’t know how many abilities this kid has that he hasn’t used yet?
There is also Baiqisi's report, which clearly states that he has never been out of Zhuangzi since he was a child. So where did he learn these skills?
[Is there really anyone in the world who is born knowing? 】
[If this kid’s rise had not been so strange, how could I not reuse him? 】
Thinking of this, Li Shimin, who was suspected of being ill, said with emotion:
"My dear nephew, where did you learn this skill?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at Qin Ming.
They are also curious about this question!
Let’s not talk about Qin Ming’s achievements in studying things, but only talk about his achievements in poetry and arithmetic.
It is a height that many ordinary people cannot reach in their lifetime!
Qin Ming was fully prepared for this question, so he smiled faintly, cupped his hands towards Li Shimin and said:
"Weichen, all I learned was given by my master!"
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed when he heard this.
"Do you have a master? Who is he? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Facing Li Shimin's three questions about his soul, Qin Ming smiled lightly and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone:
"The master's surname is Wang, his given name is Chongyang, and his Taoist name is Chongyangzi."
"I didn't mention it before because before my master left Zhuangzi, he told his ministers not to mention his old man's name before he was sixteen years old!"
After that, Qin Ming talked about his apprenticeship and learning experience.
After listening to Qin Ming's story, Li Shimin thought for a while and asked:
"Where is your revered master now? Why should you not mention him until you are sixteen?"
Qin Ming shook his head and said:
"Before my master left, he said he wanted to find a Taoist temple deep in the Qinling Mountains to practice Taoism with peace of mind."
"As for why you can't say it before you turn sixteen, Wei Chen doesn't know."
"My master is a scholar of heaven and man, and is good at divination! Such an arrangement must have profound meaning!"
Princess Changle on the side frowned slightly when she heard Qin Ming's words, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
"Brother Ming, are the Chongyangzi in the storybook and the master in your mouth the same person?"
Li Shimin was puzzled when he heard this:
"What storybook?"
Princess Changle explained:
"It's that book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"! The Taoist founder of the Quanzhen Sect in it has this name and Taoist name."
Qin Ming smiled slightly and explained:
"My master has been away from Zhuangzi for many years and has never returned. Qin missed him very much, so he wrote the storybook, thinking that one day, the master would learn about it."
"If you can think of this disciple, go back to Qinjiazhuang and have a look."
Princess Changle suddenly realized what she said.
Li Shimin frowned. There was such a strange person in the world. The disciples he taught were so powerful, so how powerful should he be!
[No, I have to send people to Qinling Mountains to look for this Taoist master. 】
Then Li Shimin thought of another question, so he looked at Qin Ming with bright eyes and said:
"My good nephew, do you also know how to divination?"
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile:
"My master mainly taught my nephew arithmetic and observing things! In addition, he occasionally told me some travel notes, but he didn't teach my nephew the art of divination!"
Li Shimin felt a little sorry when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was only reasonable!
Moreover, now that Si Tianjian has Li Chunfeng in charge, he has no shortage of talents in this field!
Li Shimin was silent for a long time and suddenly asked:
"So, the travel diary of Champa you mentioned before was not bought in the Western Market? It was the personal experience of the respected master?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming bowed and saluted:
"Your Majesty understands everything clearly, I admire you!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin raised the corners of his mouth slightly and snorted:
"Hmph, you kid, you still want to fool me!!"
