People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 156 The Power of Science

Brought pen and ink from home, Li Zheng wrote a few names in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin watched and read out: "Shangguanyi, Shan County, Shanzhou,"

"Xue Rengui, Jiangzhou, Hedong Road."

"Pei Xingjian from the Pei clan of Hedong.

"Di Renjie, Jinyang, Bingzhou."

"Chu Suiliang from Yangzhai County"

Li Zheng handed these names to Li Shimin and said, "I only have these five."

"Di Renjie from Jinyang, Bingzhou is the son of Di Zhixun, and Chu Suiliang is now the servant of Huangmen. It is said that he has some attainments in calligraphy. I know these two people, but Xue Rengui? Pei Xingjian? Shangguanyi?"

"It doesn't matter if I haven't heard of it. Your Majesty just needs to help me find them and bring them here."

Li Shimin hesitated for a while, "What do you want these people to do?"

"Just bring it."

After collecting the list, Li Shimin turned and left.

All the way back to Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin opened the list again, looking at the names on it with a heartbroken heart.

No matter how you look, you can't find any connection between these people.

Di Zhixun's son should be only five years old now.

Chu Suiliang is already in his 30s.

It would be fine if they were all of the same age.

But these people are not in the same place, Chu Suiliang is in Chang'an, Di Renjie is in Bingzhou, let alone Hedong Road.

The age difference is too much, and the places are too far apart.

After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin put down the list and said to Li Junxian: "Look up all the people on this list, see what relationship they have with Li Zheng, and call Chu Suiliang here."

"Here."

Jingyang
Li Zheng took out a middle school science textbook from the system library.

I started to flatten the typeface and printed a few pages.

A few pages of simple content were selected a little bit.

The science is too powerful, so as not to frighten those guys in the DPRK.

After flattening the fonts, hand them over to Zhang Qi, the foreman of the craftsman class.

Now the artisan class is in charge of the technical aspects of the book printing house, Li Yifu is in charge of business, and Li Jiangshan and the maids are in charge of the books.

There was a drizzle falling from the sky, and the wind was a little cold.

Zhang Qi handed the newly printed science to Li Zheng.

After checking to make sure there were no mistakes, Li Zheng said to him: "Five hundred books will be printed in this way and sent to Chang'an. We will not sell these books and give them away for nothing."

"Understood." Zhang Qi nodded.

Daniel is cleaning the academy in Jingyang.

Seeing Li Zheng coming back, Daniel put down the broom and said, "Teacher, you are here."

Handing the science in his hand to Daniel, Li Zheng said, "This book is for you."

Daniel took the book doubtfully.

"Use the fastest time to learn the knowledge in it."

Daniel nodded vigorously and said, "The student understands."

It has been raining continuously for three days, and it has not stopped until now.

The cold wind in the air tells the arrival of autumn.

The scorching summer is finally over.

The [-] free science books immediately caused a sensation in Chang'an.

Each science book has only a few pages, and five pieces of knowledge are written.

The refraction of light, the combustion of oxygen, the rise of heat, the formation of saltpeter into ice, the expansion of heat and the contraction of cold.

Once it appeared, scholars in Chang'an immediately came and circulated it to each other.

If an ordinary child wrote this knowledge, everyone might just laugh it off.

But these were written by Li Zheng, so people have to speculate.

In a mansion in Chang'an, Cui Que, who was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, is over 60 years old.

"How can Your Majesty allow Li Zheng, a young man, to be so presumptuous!" Elder Cui shouted angrily.

The same aged Ouyang Xun also said: "Old Cui, Li Zheng doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, so why should you have the same knowledge as him."

Cui Que pointed to the science book on the ground and said: "Look at what that kid wrote on it is full of fallacies!"

Yu Shinan also persuaded: "Mr. Cui, I don't think Li Zheng is aimless. This person is doing business with the queen. It's better not to provoke him now."

Cui Gan said loudly: "Behind him is the queen. The old man's ancestors were the Northern Wei Chariot General, Dr. Zuo Guanglu, and the third division of Yitong! Back then, Li Shimin would salute respectfully when he saw the old man, but now he calls a young man to come Humiliate the old man?!"

The servants of the mansion stood aside, looking at the three old men here.

Cui Que is a member of Qinghe Cui family.

Yu Shinan was one of Li Shimin's Eighteen Scholars in the Qin Palace.

Both Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun are masters of calligraphy today.

Leaving Cui's mansion disappointedly, Yu Shinan met Chu Suiliang waiting at his door on the way home.

"I have met Uncle Shi." Chu Suiliang said with a salute.

Seeing Chu Suiliang drenched in the rain, Yu Shinan opened the door and said, "Come in and sit down."

"Yes."

Chu Suiliang respects Yu Shinan very much, and Yu Shinan always guides himself in calligraphy.

Yu Shinan was one of the Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Palace back then.

Although he has a good relationship with Cui Que, he is not from the Cui family.

Yu Shinan's reputation is very loud among the gentry.

Wu Xing won him over not once or twice.

They were all declined by Yu Shinan.

Entering Yu Shinan's home, Chu Suiliang saluted and said, "Shi Bo, Your Majesty summoned my nephew, and I want my nephew to go to Jingyang to do business for Li Zheng."

Yu Shinan took off his coat, sat down by the table and said: "As an official in the court, you have to listen to His Majesty's will. What you care about is the old man's opinion."

"Shibo Mingjian."

Breathing the air in the room that smelled strongly of pen and ink, Yu Shinan said: "I'm getting old, and I won't live for a few more years. I can't accept my old age. The future of the Central Plains still depends on you young people."

Cui Que was puzzled and said: "Shibo means..."

Yu Shinan looked at Yu Jing and said, "You might as well go and meet Li Zheng."

Li Zheng holds movable type printing in his hands, and has the support of the current queen. As long as Li Zheng wants to print books, he can have as many books as he wants.

This is Li Zheng's greatest advantage.

It is also the biggest pain point of the five surnames.

Whoever masters books masters scholars.

Chu Suiliang said: "My nephew understands, but my nephew also read Li Zheng's science."

"how do you feel?"

Chu Suiliang brought a basin of water from the outside, and then took out a few pieces of saltpeter prepared in advance from his arms and put them into the water.

Observing the reaction in the water, some thin ice formed after half an hour.

Chu Suiliang said: "This is Li Zheng's ice-making method, and it is also written in Li Zheng's science."

Yu Shinan smiled wryly and said, "But the facts we have seen with our own eyes are still fallacies to Cui Que and his gang."

The five surnames control the knowledge, and they also control the scholars in the world. They only respect Confucianism and the kingly way.

Yu Shinan sighed: "If there were no rivalries in this world, only Confucianism, what I see is not prosperity but the decline of knowledge."

Chu Suiliang understood what Yu Shinan meant.

A generation of calligraphers looked at the changes in the water and muttered to themselves: "Is this Li Zheng's science? It feels like turning decay into magic."
