The rise of the prince

Chapter 421 Unexpected visitor
What are the so-called intelligent creatures?What is the most basic manifestation of wisdom?
Many biologists will do an experiment when evaluating biological intelligence, called the "mirror experiment". The content is very simple. Bring animals to the mirror, let them look at themselves in the mirror, and then observe the reaction.

If animals can clearly realize that the thing in the mirror is themselves, then the animal intelligence is very high, and the faster this recognition is, the higher their intelligence is.

This method is obviously very useful, because with the gradual research, it has been discovered that animals with higher intelligence can indeed "recognize themselves" faster.

For example, killer whales, the ocean overlords that have not been widely seen by humans until modern times, have proved through these series of experiments that their IQ is roughly equivalent to that of humans aged seven to 15. It is precisely because of such a high IQ that they firmly occupy the world. At the top of the marine food chain, wherever they go, they can immediately adapt to the environment and ecology, and then change the ecology from top to bottom, and can hunt almost all creatures they can encounter, as long as they are willing.For example, the great white shark, which brings infinite fear to human beings, is also their snack.

The most basic logic of this experiment to determine the intelligence of animals is to see whether animals have "self-awareness".

That's right, the more intelligent a creature is, the stronger its "self-awareness".The more I can think, who am I?What kind of thing am I?
It is precisely based on this strong desire for self-knowledge that slowly stimulates philosophical thinking, and then there is a branch of psychology, which specializes in the field of human psychology and the study of our own thinking.

Because it is based on the "self-awareness" of biological intelligence, the value of psychological research is infinite, and the impact of psychological laws on life and the world is huge.

But it is also because it is based on self-thinking and is a reminder of self-awareness, many people do not feel its influence, because people will think that "this is the way it is".

Because of this difference in starting point, Li Xingzhou sees the world differently from people in this world.

Different thinking patterns lead to different methods of solving problems.

He solved this matter from a psychological point of view, and it was not just a theory. His predecessors had already practiced it for him, so Li Xingzhou dared to do this.

In the eyes of outsiders, his actions seem useless and illogical, but he knows that his actions are supported by strong internal logic and theory, and the initial efforts have begun to pay off slowly.

It's just that the public's observation angle is different from his, so it's hard to find it.

Li Xingzhou stretched out his hand to catch the rainwater dripping from the tile ditch, feeling slightly cool
Instinctively, people are hostile to things and knowledge they don't know, and he has long been prepared to criticize him.

The next day, the rain stopped and everything went on as usual. He sent many female workers to continue cleaning the streets as usual.

As for the government, as usual, people were sent out to paste official notices. The yamen servants were familiar with this job, and they even went to the villa to say hello to him first.

Although it wasn't raining, the sky was cloudy and it was cold outside. Li Xingzhou was too lazy to go out, so he just got some mutton and stewed it in a small stove. There was also good wine from the palace. , leave some for them too.

After all, he was just giving orders, and the two were running around. Although they didn't understand the reason, the matter in hand was not left behind.

At noon, the cold wind was blowing outside the house, and the sun was not visible. Li Xingzhou was eating alone, stewed mutton in a casserole, and enjoyed good wine.Xie Linjiang Wang Ke didn't come back, but a big surprise came.

Armed and armed with a sword, He Qian jumped and stepped on the stagnant water in the courtyard, and a young man in his 20s followed him.

Li Xingzhou was eating in the main hall, and almost dropped his chopsticks on the ground when he saw her.

The little girl didn't regard herself as an outsider, she rushed in with a smile, and before she had time to catch her breath, she put her hands on her hips: "Huh, you have good wine and food, and you eat happily, but everyone outside is scolding you. I go north, and there are people everywhere." Say you're stupid."

After speaking, he pulled out the chair and sat down by himself.

The young man beside her was startled, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "I hope the prince will forgive my younger sister for being rude, she is just young and ignorant, and she is just talking fast."

"Who is this?" Li Xingzhou looked at He Qian who was not polite, and asked in puzzlement.

"He's my second brother, he's in the cloth business." He Qian said.

After He Qian elaborated, he finally understood that He Xu was the second son of He Zhao, who was in the cloth and ceramics business, but he said that he was a knight-errant.

He Zhao didn't give him much money, so he started his own business. While doing business and making money, he traveled around the world. He went as far as the Yinma River in the north of Liao. The journey is long, and it takes several months at every turn, and it is very difficult to be careful of wild animals and bandits, and I am not at home all year round.

He Qian came to Jiangzhou this time with his second brother, and He Xu rented a boat to bring goods north, so she came along.

Li Xingzhou added bowls and chopsticks for the two to eat together. He Qian was used to it long ago, but He Xu was still reserved. After the meal, he arranged for the two to stay in Tubi Mountain Villa.

He Xu is going to go north tomorrow, this time he wants to go to Xixia, he brought some pottery and cloth, because Liao and Jin are at war, he dare not take the road north of Guan, but he wants to go northwest from Taiyuan Western Xia.

Li Xingzhou reminded him to be careful of the bandits in Taiyuan.

After settling in, He Qian came to him in high spirits in the afternoon, and asked him about being scolded by others, and about sending people to sweep the streets.

Li Xingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded her head: "You can't ask me something good."

"No way, I don't care about you." He Qian had reasons, and Li Xingzhou was at a loss for words. Although he cared, why did it sound so awkward.

He then took the little girl out to buy things, because she wanted to stay, and she came to Jiangzhou to play.

"Don't worry, that's my strategy. Those people don't understand at all. If you love to laugh, let them laugh." Li Xingzhou led her out of the gate, walking along side by side. The yamen arranged two carriages for him, but he didn't need them because He must always observe the changes in Jiangzhou.

"What kind of strategy is sweeping the street?"

"." Li Xingzhou rubbed her little head, "Can you tell, is that still called a strategy?"

"Pretending to be a ghost, making a fool of yourself" The little girl grabbed the hem of her clothes, followed behind him, and began to count one by one. Li Xingzhou listened to each sentence, and walked slowly.

"I need to buy two quilts. Jiangzhou is much colder than the capital recently." Li Xingzhou turned around as he spoke, and found that the little girl was teary, scolding him to tears
"What's wrong? Who bullied Miss He." Li Xingzhou was a little confused, and stopped quickly.

"Hmph, Miss Ben is fine.
You, do you know, people outside say you. How ugly they say, they all say that you are a fool. I listened all the way to the north, and I heard people talking about it when I got off the boat in Jiangzhou. I went to the restaurant. , I went to my brother's friend's house and said, if my brother didn't stop me, I would have beaten someone long ago." The little girl pursed her mouth.

Li Xingzhou stopped and was taken aback: "They are talking about me, why are you crying, let them talk about what they like."

"I want you to take care of it!" The little girl kicked him, then took his hand: "Take me shopping, don't ask if you shouldn't."

Li Xingzhou has a Coke, don't ask if you shouldn't ask.
He walked the street with the little girl, and he didn't care what others said about him, or he was prepared for it. While walking through the street, he observed the surroundings. It was still messy, but it was much better than when he first arrived. many.

Now he spends a lot of money on sweeping the streets every day, like running water.

"Is your father not worried about you? Tell him no." Li Xingzhou asked.

He Qian nodded: "I told him to come to Jiangzhou to play."

"Did you tell him you came to see me?"

He Qian nodded.

"He didn't scold you?"

He Qian shook her head.

Li Xingzhou was a little puzzled. If He Zhao had encountered such a thing before, he would have said that he abducted his precious daughter. He might have come to him for a one-on-one fight. Why is he so calm now?
"Is there any major event in the capital? How is the palace?" Li Xingzhou asked again. He Qian often went to the palace, and it was the same as going in and out of the palace. Ask her to know.

Sure enough, He Qian looked at it and said, "Everyone in the palace is very good, but something happened in the capital, Mr. Chen Yu, the judge of the Ministry of Rites, was dismissed because he offended His Majesty."

Hearing this, Li Xingzhou's heart tightened.
