Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 102 Waiting for You to Grow Up Slowly
Li Qinzai's theory must be verified by practice. If he said something, Li Zhi would believe it. This emperor is too naive.

So when the monarch and his ministers were eating, Wang Changfu secretly ordered the guards out of the village to verify the mathematical formula Li Qinzai had formulated.

The verification result was not bad at all, and Li Qinzai was right.

What surprised Li Zhi was not how capable Li Qinzai was, but where Li Qinzai learned his unpredictable ability.

The Tang Dynasty was a very open dynasty. Although Confucianism is still the mainstream theory of the time, it will not restrict and prohibit other theories.

Taoism, Legalism, Mohist School, Military School, Yin-Yang School, etc., these theories have a market in the open Tang Dynasty, as long as you don't rebel, you can learn anything.

Li Zhi had heard of other schools' theories more or less, but he never knew which family Li Qinzai's ability belonged to.

If he really came from a teacher's school, Li Qinzai's teacher's school is indeed a rare talent for governing the world, which is of great use to the society.

After thinking about it, perhaps Li Qinzai's ability is more inclined to the Mohist school.

Mohism advocates both love and non-attack, and works on mechanism learning. Li Qinzai's magic arm bow, horseshoe, pulley block, and today's so-called arithmetic formulas, etc., all have more or less the shadow of Mohist mechanism learning.

"Is it really a Mohist disciple?" Li Zhi frowned and muttered.

After the Han Dynasty ousted hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism, Mohism has gradually declined and almost disappeared in the world.It is basically unheard of that there are Mohist disciples walking in the world.

However, before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were some knight-errants who did many evil deeds in the name of eradicating violence and peace, but in fact they were extorting money.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that those rangers have nothing to do with the Mo family, they are just bluffing and defrauding under the guise of the Mo family.

In Li Zhi's mind, the real descendant of the Mohist family is Li Qinzai's image. He is low-key, lazy, but smart and clever, and he can move his hands casually, which is a novelty that the world has never heard of.

Of course, for the emperor, the ideas of Mohism did not cater to the emperor's mind, especially the so-called "universal love and non-aggression", calling for peace in the world, not to invade each other, and so on.

From the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it relied on conquering the surrounding countries to become the king and hegemony. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he held back a lot of energy in his heart, and he wanted to surpass the former emperor Li Shimin and become stronger and more promising than his father. The second generation of Emperor Tian Khan.

What kind of love and non-attack is not a joke?If I don't attack, who will obey me?
Tiele in the north, Tubo in the west, Nanzhao in the south, Goguryeo in the east... Eidi, Eidi, all four Eidi!
At this moment, in Li Zhi's heart, Li Qinzai was basically identified as a descendant of the Mohist family by mistake.

Although Mohist thought is not practical, Mohist's ability is of great use to the community. Li Qinzai has already demonstrated this with practical actions.

If Li Qinzai can teach the students of Datang what he has learned all his life, then in the future, inventions like pulley blocks and horseshoes will continue to emerge in Datang.

It will be a big change if it is used in industry, in the army, in the people, and popularized all over the world.

Li Zhi's heart was moved. Li Qinzai's formula today gave him infinite shock. After the shock, he was looking forward to it. From the emperor's point of view, no matter what good things are, they must be used by the king and the people.

"Chang Fu, does the Guozijian have a clear account of Kegong students?" Li Zhi asked suddenly.

Wang Changfu said: "Yes, every year, there are students from Mingshu Department entering the Imperial College to study, but the number is not too many, sometimes dozens, sometimes even only a dozen people. not enough."

To put it simply, Mingjing is a liberal arts department, and Mingshu is a science department.

Mingjing science is a subset of classics and history, the famous works of sages, the way of governing the country, and the strategy of pacifying the world, which are the mainstream subjects of scientific research today.

Ming arithmetic is just learning mathematics, geometry, Pythagorean and other knowledge. Even if a high school Jinshi becomes an official, he is still a small official with no real power, and there is basically no possibility of promotion. Therefore, most of the world's students do not want to learn Ming arithmetic.

After ten years of bitterness, am I just dedicating my whole life to the country silently?

No, I just want to be an official, a high official.

This is the universal value of students in the world.

"Tomorrow, I will make an order that Feng Jingchu will be a doctor of Guozijian, and he will teach Mingshu Science." Li Zhi said decisively.

Wang Changfu hesitated to speak.

Li Zhi looked at him: "What do you want to say?"

"Your Majesty, this servant looks at Li Shaojian's expression today, it seems that... he doesn't want to take on too many affairs, heck, today His Majesty intends to ask him to teach Mingshu science, but he immediately changed the topic, this servant is dead, and he speculates, Li Shaojian's Temperament seems...very lazy."

Li Zhi was stunned for a while, and then he let out a long sigh: "You guessed right, he is just a slob."

"He served as a young supervisor of the Military Weapons Supervision for two months. The people below said that he had never been to the Military Weapons Supervision even once, and he didn't even know where the door of the Military Weapons Supervision opened."

"The bustling city of Chang'an can't live, but he just hides in this rural village and lives lazily. If I grant him a doctorate from the Imperial Academy again, he will definitely be reluctant and will definitely refuse..."

Wang Changfu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why don't you invite the British Duke to come forward and ask him to persuade Li Shaojian, since he is living on the king's salary, how can he not share his worries..."

The corner of Li Zhi's mouth twitched: "He really doesn't care about the salary of the emperor, among other things, he made that beauty cream in Chang'an City, and the income he got in a year can keep him half of his life. How much is it worth? Can it catch his eyes?"

"As for asking the British official to talk about the project, it probably won't work. Even if the British official forces him to take up the post, Jing Chu will inevitably spend his days in a mess and refuse to devote himself to teaching students."

Wang Changfu didn't dare to say anything.

In the end, he was just an eunuch, and occasionally he helped Li Zhi, and it was his duty to be a fan. If he talked about the state affairs of the court or the appointment and dismissal of officials, Li Zhi would definitely feel disgusted. This is not something that eunuchs should get involved in.

After being silent for a while, Li Zhi suddenly said: "Chang Fu, do you think the... formula listed by Jing Chu today is useful for my Datang Sheji?"

Wang Changfu hurriedly said: "Your servant only thinks it's miraculous. Without going out of the house, you can win and lose thousands of miles away with just a few random swipes. This ability is amazing. If your majesty's subjects are all such people, I am very proud." Tang Hechou can't subdue the world, and his grace is everywhere."

Li Zhi cheered up, laughed and said: "Yes! This skill can be used by the country, and it should be taught to the world's students, so that my Tang Dynasty talents will emerge in large numbers, and there will be more pillars of the country like Jingchu, so why worry about the world being injustice! "

"It's not just the formula, but more importantly, Jingchu. I'm really curious about how many abilities he has yet to reveal. These abilities must not be lost, they must be passed on to future generations, so that the Tang Dynasty can protect the country for thousands of years."

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to be an official, I always have other ways to dig out his abilities, hum." A calculating light flashed in Li Zhi's eyes.

…………

In the middle of the night, in another wing, Li Qinzai woke up again.

Others always see him listless during the day, basking in the sun or sleeping, who knows how sleepless he is at night.

Qiao'er also has skills, especially the ability to wet the bed every night, which I can't even learn.

Sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, Li Qinzai heaved a long sigh, then got up, hugged Qiao'er who was still sleeping aside, and ordered the servant girl to come in and change the mattress.

After the maid changed, she took her leave, but at this moment, Qiao'er woke up suddenly.

Seeing Li Qinzai looking at him speechlessly, and then at the clean mattress, Qiao'er's face suddenly became ashamed.

"Father, did Qiao'er wet the bed again?" Qiao'er asked timidly.

Li Qinzai smiled: "Yes, I wet the bed again. The volume was very heavy tonight. Did you drink a lot of water before going to bed?"

"Before going to bed, Qiao'er is thirsty..." Qiao'er lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"I don't blame you, and there's no need to be burdened. Dad also wet the bed when he was a child, and it's better to urinate until he is eight years old." Li Qinzai said softly.

Qiao'er knelt on the bed, suddenly bowed to Li Qinzai, and said, "It's Qiao'er's fault to make Dad work hard for Qiao'er in the middle of the night..."

Li Qinzai picked him up with one hand: "Okay, father and son are very hypocritical when they say this. If you really understand old father, when father finds you a stepmother in the future, just don't give me a face."

"Does father want to find a stepmother for Qiao'er?"

"I'm not looking for a stepmother for you. The main reason is that my father wants a wife. You don't want to?"

Qiao'er thought for a while: "Will the stepmother know how to beat Qiao'er? Will she not give Qiao'er food?"

Li Qinzai's eyes widened: "She dares! If there is anything wrong with Qiao'er, I will beat her to death."

Qiao'er smiled: "That's all right, Dad, hurry up and find your wife, there are a few girls in the village who look good, and they are quite familiar with Qiao'er, someday Qiao'er can introduce you to Dad."

Li Qinzai was shocked: "You...do you know all the girls in Zhuangzi?"

"We all know each other, they are not very old, and they are very well-behaved..."

"Uh, you said 'young', how old is it?"

Qiao'er thought for a while, and said: "There are five-year-olds, and there are also six-seven-year-olds. It doesn't matter how young they are. Anyone younger than five loves to cry, and Qiao'er doesn't like it."

"Are you going to introduce a five-year-old girl to me as a wife?"

"There are six or seven-year-olds. Dad picks them at will. After picking Qiao'er, go tell her parents."

Li Qinzai nodded, it really is your father's big son, knowing that your father's teeth are bad, he specially feeds your father young grass, his filial piety is clearly visible.

It's not just tender grass, it's just a small bud that's just emerging.

"Go to sleep, I won't bother you about finding a wife, I'll figure it out myself..." Li Qinzai sighed.

"En!" Qiao'er nestled in his arms and closed her eyes.

The room fell silent.

After a long time, Qiao'er suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Li Qinzai's face and said softly, "Father..."

"what?"

"Daddy wait for Qiao'er, okay? Qiao'er will grow up soon, and when Qiao'er grows up, he won't wet the bed, so Dad won't have to work so hard."

Li Qinzai sniffed, tried to smile and said, "No hurry, you grow up slowly, dad can afford to wait."

Qiao'er smiled innocently in his arms, then closed her eyes and fell asleep slowly.

The rustling of the leaves outside the window is like a gift bestowed to the world in the passing of time, and the chanting sounds.

It's silence, it's tears, it's growth.
