People in Datang have been expelled from school

The blueprints of Jingyang were spread to various blacksmith shops in Chang'an, and many blacksmiths were stunned by those strange and incomprehensible blueprints.

However, Jingyang's bid was extremely high and there was no time limit for the construction. These blacksmiths were also willing to take on the job.

A month of winter has passed.

The coldest winter season in Guanzhong is also over.

Li Zheng was busy in the field with a hoe. The soil in winter needs to be turned a lot, especially the soil in the greenhouse vegetables. These greenhouse vegetables are very precious.

There are not many that can be planted every year.

Ever since Li Zhi put down the boiler making, his whole body has become more smiling. At this moment, he and Xiao Sizi are walking by the Jingyang River, talking and laughing.

Kong Yingda stroked his beard and said, "Li Zheng, I have a question that I have never been able to figure out."

Li Zheng said with a smile: "Old Master Kong, if you want to ask anything, just say it."

Kong Yingda nodded and said: "You build an academy and spread knowledge. The so-called science seems to me to have seen things that I have never seen in my life. It's just that I have been studying for a year. I want to ask you, what is it that you have been pursuing?" ?”

Li Zheng still waved his hoe and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Kong Yingda sighed in the cold air, "What is the power you have always wanted to pursue?"

After thinking for a while, Li Zheng stopped his hands and said, "The power I have been pursuing?"

Kong Yingda nodded and said: "I found that all your science-related knowledge has a direction. I can't see the things at the end of that direction, but there must be something there."

Kong Yingda has read books all his life, and this kind of person is indeed the best in knowledge.

He is also the person with the most boundaries.

Perhaps people who have reached his level can see many things.

Li Zheng said: "Old man Kong Yingda, you see, what we are doing now is agriculture, right?"

Kong Yingda nodded and said, "Farming is naturally considered agriculture."

Li Zheng said to him: "The strength I have always pursued is industry."

Hearing this, Kong Yingda thought for a while, "Industry? Is it very different from agriculture?"

Li Zheng went on to say: "What I'm talking about is that industry and agriculture are interrelated in nature. Even if there is industry, it cannot be separated from agriculture. This is a kind of inheritance."

Kong Yingda shook his head, "I seem to understand a little, but I'm still a little confused."

With a helpless smile, Li Zheng said: "Old Master, look at our workshop, what do you think of our workshop?"

Kong Yingda frowned and said, "A lot of money?"

Li Zheng explained to him: "It seems to be very profitable now, but now manpower and production capacity have reached a bottleneck. Under this bottleneck, it is difficult for us to increase our production capacity. If I build a few more such The workshop is nothing more than using huge manpower to pile up production capacity, which is like using a stone as an ax to cut down trees, but the efficiency has not changed after all, so our current production capacity in Jingyang has reached a stage of stagnation.”

After stroking his beard for a while, Kong Yingda took a deep breath, "You think farther than the old man. Think carefully about what you said. Jingyang is indeed in such a situation right now."

Li Zheng said again: "So I need power, and this power is industry. If you want to do a good job in industrial mathematics, physics and chemistry, you must do everything."

Kong Yingda nodded and said: "So industry is a power that can only be obtained after the integration of mathematics, physics and chemistry, and this power cannot be achieved by you alone. Is the old man right?"

Li Zheng smiled and did not deny it.

Kong Yingda added: "It is said that there are some methods in this world that can be understood but cannot be cultivated, but you use what others have learned to achieve the power you want. If there are students from the academy to learn together, then the power of industry seems far away, but But you can approach it at the fastest speed, build an academy, you use the students in the academy to leverage your strength, and from then on you can constantly get close to the industrial power you want."

After saying this, Kong Yingda smiled relievedly, "So it's like this, so it's like this, the old man finally understands now."

Listening to Kong Yingda's soft voice, Li Zheng became more and more intrusive as he listened. This old guy seemed to see through the truth of the world.

Is he, Kong Yingda, going to prove Taoism and become an immortal?

Looking at his appearance, Li Zheng was speechless for a while.

Kong Yingda patted Li Zheng's shoulder and said, "Son, I'm getting old, I really want to live a few more years, and see what happens in the future because of you."

After speaking, he walked towards the academy with a smile.

Listening to Kong Yingda's words, he always felt like he was saying his last words.

Li Zheng put down the hoe in his hand, and hurried to Sun Simiao's clinic.

Sun Simiao was packing up the herbs, when he saw Li Zheng coming in a hurry, he asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

Li Zheng looked at Sun Simiao and asked, "How is Kong Yingda's health?"

Sun Simiao put down the herbs, straightened up and said, "Kong Yingda is already very old, it's not surprising when someone like him passes away."

Li Zheng stood a little weakly, "It's already reached that point."

Knowing what Li was worrying about, Sun Simiao said: "It's not that far. You can live for some years. Life, old age, sickness and death are all the same. We have to go through it too. Don't worry too much."

Li Zheng sat down by the side of the medical hall, and said in his heart that Li Zheng didn't like this backward era.

But in this era, there are always a few elders whom I admire.

After sitting at the entrance of the medical hall for a long time, Li Zheng got up and left.

The big iron smithy furnace started to fire early.

The villagers also started a busy day. In order to cultivate in the next spring, they ran to the fields one after another, so that they could plant some grain in time for the sowing season.

Ordinary people are simple, they are not so impetuous.

The boiler is a symbol of entering the industrial age.

Now it's just beginning to touch some doorways.

The imperative is now.

Li Lizhi took Wu Mei to tidy up the account books at home, and seeing Li Zheng returning in a disappointed mood, she asked, "What's the matter? Are you worried?"

Li Zheng sat down in the yard and said: "I just chatted with Mr. Kong Yingda for a while, and I heard something wrong with what he said, so I went to see Dr. Sun. Dr. Sun said that people are born, old, sick, and die, and no one can do without them."

Li Lizhi said with a gentle smile: "No matter how powerful you are, you can't change this situation."

Li Zheng thought about it and said, "How old do you think Kong Yingda is?"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Lizhi said: "It's nearly seventy years old, but Kong Yingda's life in the village has always been good. Kong Yingda's granddaughter also said that her grandfather likes life here very much. There are not so many troubles. It's not that much of a burden."
