Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 23 Gathering Schools
Li Chunfeng was the first to report to Li Tai.

Li Chunfeng is not the godly Taoist priest that Li Tai imagined, on the contrary, he is a clean young man.

It's just that his clothes look a little old, and it's obvious that the salary of Chang'an, the official of the Taishi Bureau, is definitely not enough for daily expenses.

And Li Chunfeng looked at Li Tai, and the first sentence was weak,

"King Yue, can I sleep in the school for a few days? I usually live in the Taishi Bureau, and now I have to find a new house..."

Hearing these words, Li Tai sighed incomparably, and quickly said, "Our school has built a new house, and Mr. has his own house.

You are the section chief, and you can have an independent courtyard.King Bin, take Chief Li to his house. "

Ma Zhou immediately took Li Chunfeng to go through the entry procedures, and took Li Chunfeng to his courtyard along the way.

In fact, even the teacher assistants of liberal arts all have their own rooms.

And Li Chunfeng, as the section chief arranged by Li Shimin, can naturally enjoy the treatment of an independent courtyard.

With his own independent courtyard, Li Tai felt sorry for him, and even advanced a month's money.

Li Chunfeng was full of energy immediately, and immediately came to Li Tai to work full of energy. The money was paid in place, let alone [-], and [-] Li Chunfeng was happy.

"Help unify the basic units first!" Li Tai looked at Li Chunfeng who wanted to contribute to the school but didn't know where to help, and said, "I want to get a set of independent weights and measures in our college. !"

Li Chunfeng was slightly taken aback when he heard Li Tai's words, and said, "Your Majesty thinks there is something wrong with our measurements?"

"There must be something wrong!" Li Tai nodded and said, "An inch is the length of a row of ten millets, and ten inches is a foot.

The size of millet is different, and the officials will definitely take more when they collect taxes. The so-called big fights come in and the small fights come out because the weights and measures are not accurate!

Now Aye Shengming cannot tolerate those corrupt officials, but if the tax can be increased in the rules, this will be encouraged instead. "

Li Tai said that he couldn't help but sigh. In fact, ancient China chose to use food instead of human body parts as weights and measures.

However, the unit system of weights and measures has not changed throughout the feudal dynasties of China from beginning to end, but the unit volume has continued to increase. One chi was about 23 centimeters in the Qin and Han Dynasties, but it reached 32 centimeters in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

It can be said that this kind of weights and measures seems to be an invisible hand, constantly stealing the food of the people and increasing the burden on the people.

Moreover, when Li Tai was working with these workers, he found that unless they were brought out by a master, there would be differences in what they made. Even if it was discussed with the higher-ups, there would often be minor adjustments during work.

The problems exposed by weights and measures made Li Tai clear that he was still too far away from his goal.

It’s okay to say that the scale is small now, but if I want to play assembly line and scale, it’s completely useless, because the difference in the size of a single part is enough to make any scale a joke.

When Li Tai came to this world, every time he wanted to do something that he thought should be taken for granted, there would always be some inexplicable situations that made it difficult for him to carry out his plan, such as this weight and measure issue.

In fact, if he really wants to scale up and scientificize, Li Tai will immediately encounter the problem of insufficient workers with basic education.

Li Tai hadn't considered this point, and it was also the reason why Li Tai wanted to apply for an agricultural school.

Because Li Tai just wanted to accumulate basic educated people by himself, otherwise it would be impossible for him to continue Zhenguan and even change the fate of Datang due to insufficient manpower.

Even if he crossed over and became Li Tai, Li Tai didn't think he was the god of this era, and he could become anything he said.

After all, Wang Mang, the predecessor, told the later traversers very clearly that a traverser cannot go against the general trend of history at all.

Therefore, Li Tai wants to establish a school because he wants to imprint new knowledge and rules on this land through agriculture, the industry that is most acceptable to the people in this land.

At this moment, Li Chunfeng didn't expect that Li Tai's thinking had spread far and wide. He was only thinking about it from a technical point of view, and said, "Since King Yue has the idea of ​​re-establishing weights and measures, does he have a direction?"

Li Tai immediately thought of the mercury column, because it was the most stable weight and measure in the ancient environment.

But if he wants to do the mercury column experiment, Li Tai's problem is where to get the transparent glass!
Thinking of this, Li Tai became a little crazy, obviously there are some things that he takes for granted, but when he wants to prove it, there will always be various problems in the preconditions.

This makes it easy for me to want to say the answer, but if I want to prove this kind of thing, reality often does not allow it!
To be honest, Li Tai asked Ma Zhou to hurry up and collect coal mines, just thinking that if it really didn't work, he would study how to burn glass by himself.

After all, without the auxiliary props like transparent glass to directly observe the reaction, many things really cannot be handled.

"Generally speaking, mercury can be proved! But I lack a tool that can directly observe mercury!" Li Tai looked at Ma Zhou and said, "Can you find a way to make a transparent container, so that it should be able to get Come standard!"

"A transparent container?" Li Chunfeng hesitated for a while, then asked weakly, "Do you mean ice?"

For a moment Li Tai was stunned by Li Chunfeng's answer. Li Tai really didn't expect to use ice to solve the transparent container.

Although it is impossible for something like ice to replace the observation of many changes in chemical properties, it is definitely enough to study simple physical problems.

Li Tai patted Li Chunfeng on the shoulder and said, "Then I will leave this matter to you?"

Li Chunfeng had question marks all over his face, but Li Tai soon stuffed him with a lot of knowledge, and then went to study the mercury column.

In fact, after solving the problem of the transparent device, it is much easier to get out the mercury column.

And as the mercury column was released, Li Tai directly divided it into 76 equal parts for the convenience of future calculations, and centimeters were also released.

After the centimeter comes out, use water directly as the standard weight and volume, and then the units of grams and kilograms come out.

Li Tai looked at the unit he created, and tears welled up in his eyes. With these, he really has the foundation of mathematics.

I have to say that compared to the other two teachers, because Li Chunfeng helped him solve the problem of weights and measures, Li Tai was the most supportive of Li Chunfeng.

Moreover, Li Chunfeng's hobby is mathematics, and this thing doesn't cost much, so he sent someone to make him a simple abacus. Li Chunfeng quickly fell in love with this tool, and the beads were crackling.

Well, seeing how skillfully Li Chunfeng fiddled with the beads, Li Tai silently added the math course.

At least in the era when the calculator was not yet born, the abacus should be the strongest calculation tool.

At this time, Sun Simiao also came to the agricultural school, looking extremely young, but a person in his 70s looks like he is 50 or [-] years old.

"Sun Simiao, a poor man, was invited to join the agricultural school and met the head of the school!" Sun Simiao saw that Li Tai was the first person to call Li Tai the head of the mountain. Li Tai felt a little embarrassed when he heard Sun Simiao's words.

"The old god is very polite. You can come to this school to be the chief of the medical department, which means that the agricultural school is full of glory!" Li Tai sighed.

However, Sun Simiao cut straight to the point and said to Li Tai: "Shan Zhang, this old man is over seventy, and I feel a little exhausted.

Now he is the head of the medical department thanks to the grace of the saint, but he is powerless to manage the medical department.

So can you recommend my apprentice Liu Shenwei to assist me in managing the medical department. "

"You have lived all the way to the Gaozong Dynasty, and you have released "Tang Xin Materia Medica" vigorously and vigorously." Li Tai complained silently, but now he heard Sun Simiao's words, but he understood that Sun Simiao actually did not attach too much importance to this medical subject.

Li Tai also understands this point, Sun Simiao, a living god, is willing to come to his school to sit in charge, and he definitely does not come here to be a cow or a horse for him, but has Sun Simiao's own appeal.

It's just that he felt that it was meaningless to tell himself, so he didn't tell himself.

But it doesn't matter, for Li Tai, as long as Sun Simiao, the great god, can stay in his agricultural school.

As for whether he is doing things or his apprentice is doing things, it actually doesn't matter to Li Tai.

After all, the biggest advantage of Sun Simiao's existence to Li Shi is that he has an insurance policy. If he encounters any illness, it may save his life.

Therefore, Li Tai must agree to Sun Simiao's request.

However, Li Tai said to Sun Simiao, "The old god is the chief of the medical department after all, please set aside one day every month to answer questions for medical students."

Li Tai treats Sun Simiao as a visiting professor, and he is the top medical professor in the world.

To be honest, Li Tai also felt that it would be a waste for a top doctor like Sun Simiao to be a popular medical education teacher.

It's better to wait for some good seedlings to emerge in the medical science in the future, and find a way to stuff them with Sun Simiao.

As for Sun Simiao being able to come to the school to give a speech class or answer questions, in Li Tai's opinion, it is enough.

To be honest, Sun Simiao originally thought that Li Tai was young, so he might not agree to his conditions so easily, so he thought that if Li Tai's request was not too excessive, he would agree to it.

But he didn't expect Li Tai to give him such a loose condition. He only needs to work one day a month, and the remaining time is enough to study "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" by himself.

In contrast to Li Chunfeng and Sun Simiao who came to Li Tai's Agricultural Science Institute almost immediately after receiving Li Shimin's call, Du Chuke came down from Songshan Mountain unhurriedly after receiving Du Ruhui's letter, and followed Dongxue leisurely rushed to Gaoling.

It is different from the world where the road is silent all the way. After all, it is winter, and people in the north like to stay at home. If it is not necessary, no one wants to go out in a snowy day.

Because it consumes too much energy.

But the people here in Gaoling are completely different. My own ox cart drove past, and when I lifted the curtain, I could clearly see that they were not at all afraid of the coming of the severe cold, but one by two were working in full swing.

Working in the winter, it is not that there are officials behind them with leather whips forcing them to work, but that they are working hard by themselves.

Men are shoveling snow, women are sweeping the floor, and the streets that were originally covered by heavy snow become tidy again with them.

Du Chuke was amazed by this scene, which made Du Chuke slow down to go to the agricultural school.

Du Chuke suddenly felt that this place became interesting. As Du Ruhui's younger brother, Du Chuke's talent was not low.

In the Zhenguan Dynasty, he started his career as a general of Zuowei Zhonglang, and later served as the governor of the state, and even moved to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. If he had a chance, he would rush towards the seat of his late brother Du Ruhui.

But it is a pity that he was demoted to the county magistrate because he failed to support King Wei in seizing the heir.

However, for Du Chuke, he more or less followed his elder brother Du Ruhui's example, and also wanted to find his own monarch.

It's just that Du Chuke knew that even if he did a good job, if he missed the bond with Li Shimin, he would only be Du Ruhui's second, and he would be forever shrouded in the shadow of his brother Du Ruhui for the rest of his life.

Not to mention Du Chuke, who claims to be talented and capable, would be unwilling to be someone's shadow for the rest of his life if it were anyone else.

Therefore, what Du Chuke expects is to follow the path that Du Ruhui walked in the past, choose his own monarch, assist his own monarch to become the king, and then become the prime minister himself.

Even if this road is like walking on thin ice, for Du Chuke, even if he fails, it is better than being shrouded in Du Ruhui's shadow all his life.

"Is the founder of the Agricultural Academy the King of Yue..." Du Chuke murmured.

To be honest, Du Chuke was not interested in the King of Yue who was abandoned by Rulin.

Although he agreed to Du Ruhui's coming to this agricultural school, Du Chuke wanted to see the changes in Chang'an through this school.

But when he really came to Gaoling, Du Chuke saw with his own eyes the vitality of the people in Gaoling. This was the vitality that he had never seen since he came down from Mount Song.

For the ambitious Du Ruhui, he knew clearly that the people here had just been transformed from refugees, but in such a short period of time, what method did King Yue use to make these people seem to have new hope.

At this time, someone shouted in the distance: "It's time for dinner. Today's lunch has duck eggs and duck legs. This is a reward from the Agricultural University for helping everyone to sweep the snow. If you go late, you can only eat duck at noon." Drink the old duck soup!"

Hearing this sound, the common people put down their cleaning tools one after another, and immediately went to the canteen of the agricultural college.

"I seem to understand a little bit!" Seeing this scene, Du Chuke suddenly realized.

These people are willing to come out to work in winter. Obviously, this lunch is an important reason. Even if this lunch is not enough, the Agricultural Institute will also solve the dinner!

To be honest, these people who have become refugees are actually the most calculating.

They can clearly calculate their remaining rations, and if they can eat more food from the public, then they can eat less of the food they have saved.

Therefore, even if Li Tai only provided lunch and dinner for them, letting them go out to sweep the snow in winter would be a sweet treat!

It's just that Li Tai looked at the snow-covered scenery outside, and murmured, "Why haven't you come yet? Is Du Chuke lost?"
