Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 95 Belief From Today

Li Tai scratched his head, and then went to sleep first under Bai He's service.

Think about the problems that you can't figure out later, and you don't need to die on this when you are a minor, so as not to be exhausted and die young.

Moreover, the music department can be arranged first. Compared with the math department, at least I have a direction.

But Li Tai woke up the next day and followed Lu Anshou to exercise every day. At about three o'clock, Du Chuke came to the door.

"Shan Bin, have you ever eaten breakfast, let's have some together?" Li Tai greeted Du Chuke.

"Xiaguan didn't eat breakfast on purpose, just wanted to eat some food in the Yue Palace!" Du Chuke said with a chuckle.

There is no way, after finally becoming a prince, I can't lose money on food and clothing.

The cuisine of the Tang Dynasty has gradually become richer, but it is still a bit worse than that of later generations.

And although I don't know how to go to the kitchen to cook, but I don't know how to do it, so I will always ask for what I want to eat.

Naturally, Li Tai moved his mouth, the chef broke his legs, and Li Tai even asked Ding Jie, the chief food officer in charge of food, to forcefully come up with a hundred ways to eat noodles. It can be said that all the various ways of eating noodles are He was forced out by the Chief Food Officer.

Later, Li Tai asked people to gather this method into a book, which was called "One Hundred Ways to Eat Noodles".

Of course, this thing is not Li Tai's greed, so the main purpose of squeezing Ding Jie is to improve the happiness of the people.

After all, after wheat is made into flour, how to use it effectively needs to be studied carefully.

The purpose is to prepare for the promotion of wheat as a grain. After all, only by telling the people how to use it will they use it.

However, when Ding Jie saw that Li Tairang had edited "One Hundred Ways of Eating Noodles" into a book, the hand holding the rolling pin trembled with excitement.

He didn't expect that he was so lucky to be able to write him well and publish it as a book.

He didn't care if others looked at it or not, he took the initiative to copy a copy, and from time to time, he asked the literate people in the palace to take the initiative to learn, and even started to recite it.

In his words, if you don't even know the words in your own book, what qualifications do you have to say that this book is written by yourself.

It doesn't matter to Li Tai, if he wants to recite it, he should recite it, at least as a chef, it's not wrong to learn more.

However, because of this more or less, the delicacies near Gaoling basically come from Yuewang Mansion.

Although the imperial censor was a bit disrespectful, and would occasionally tell Li Tai that he was not doing business, and even used books to spread the method of eating, which was somewhat insulting, he did not say that Li Tai was extravagant and wasteful.

Because Li Tai advocates making gourmet food with food that ordinary people can eat, rather than pursuing delicacies from mountains and seas.

After all, like noodles, chicken, and vegetables, at least ordinary people still have the opportunity to eat them.

Li Tai only hoped that when the people ate these things, they could make them taste better, compared to other royal children, they were too extravagant.

In addition, Li Tai gave Ding Jie a task to study the sauce, in short, it should be delicious and cheap.

After all, there are too few condiments in this era, especially the main condiments of the common people are sauces.

If you can develop a sauce that is both delicious and cheap, it is actually quite delicious.

However, Du Chuke and others may be a little cautious when they come to the Yue Palace to eat and drink for the first time.

But after a year passed, I basically came to the Yue Palace for food, just to have a taste.

Li Tai's breakfast is also quite simple, just fermented bean curd, white steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, side dishes, sauces, and a piece of chicken breast.

Du Chuke took a sip of soy milk first, and said in surprise:

"Why is this soy milk so sweet today? And it tastes mellow, not like honey."

Du Chuke thought about it and took another sip. Although it tasted good, the one with sauce tasted better than the one with sugar.

"Oh, it was Geng Guogong Feng Ying who offered a batch of stone honey, and Aye gave me some." Li Tai said to Du Chuke.

"I always feel that King Yue is paying attention to something!" Du Chuke looked at Li Tai's appearance and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

In fact, Li Tai did not expect that there was already sucrose in this era, and it was solid brown sucrose.

Although this sucrose is still very rudimentary and has not even been decolorized, at least the first step has been taken.

"Is it possible to develop resources towards the south? After all, sugar, a high-calorie material, is too scarce in this era!"

Of course, this was just a passing thought.

After all, Li Tai still has a lot of things to deal with now, so there is no time to develop the sugarcane industry.

Soon, after Li Tai and Du Chuke finished their meal, they reported to Li Tai why they came back to Yue Palace today:
"Taipu Temple sent people to help build the horse racing venue yesterday."

"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded, but knowing that Du Chuke acted more assertively, he ordered,

"Horse racing venues should listen to the opinions of Taipu Temple, how to build it can better take care of the horses, this is the professional of Taipu Temple.

As for the internal layout, it is best to divide the inside, there are sky-shaped boxes that can look around the whole venue, ground-shaped boxes that occupy an excellent position to watch, and a herringbone field for ordinary people.

Then, the aisle of the herringbone site is a little wider, which is convenient for salesmen selling snacks and fruits to pass by.

It is best to be ready to go to the toilet in the venue. People have three urgencies, and no one knows what will happen.

In addition, if there is a fire or something, it is best to have an emergency passage that can quickly evacuate the crowd.

In short, all aspects must be prepared, don't take it lightly. "

"Chu Ke understands!" Hearing Li Tai's words, Du Chuke naturally understood Li Tai's emphasis on this.

Li Tai thought about it, then tapped his chin, and said:

"That area, don't just have a lonely racecourse there, it will develop into a large planning group in the future.

Concentrate on various social functions such as eating, shopping, performing, etc., and drop by to see if any family is willing to join in.

As for how to deal with the relationship of joining the family, I will leave it to you.

In short, please remember that our land in Gaoling is only rented and not sold, and all the aristocratic families love it or not.

Now Gaoling is a place where people gather, there is no need to beg for help, but people beg for us! "

"No!" Du Chuke immediately responded when he heard Li Tai's words.

Du Chuke understood that if he wanted to be promoted, or if he wanted to get rid of this code word on him, he needed a political achievement that could be achieved.

Although Gaoling Wharf was managed by himself, who told Ma Zhou to be Gaoling's county magistrate at that time, and he had more profit from this thing than himself, and now he is working with Du Ruhui by relying on the theory of water transportation.

When the Weishui tax payment system is fully completed, then Ma Zhou must have gone to the court, and King Yue may also leave.

And my goal is to try my best to stay and take full control of Gaoling, so I need to become the county magistrate of Gaoling at that time.

Although the position of the county magistrate is not high, it is the place where the king of Yue started his family, and only from here can he be the real confidant of the king of Yue.

As for the other so-called senior officials, to be honest, as Du Ruhui's younger brother, if he really wanted to be an official in the imperial court, he would be able to stand at the end that most people could not look up to in his entire life.

But that's because he didn't find a monarch worthy of his attention, so he was just dawdling in the court.

Now as long as he helps Li Tai protect this foundation, when Li Tai ascends the throne in the future, his elder brother's current position will be his own. When he thinks of this, Du Chuke is full of energy.

It has to be said that among the main cadres under Li Tai, apart from Yan Qinli, only Du Chuke was from a well-known family.

This kind of person is used to deal with aristocratic families, at least in terms of all etiquette in dealing with people, he knows how to get along with aristocratic families.

So let him take charge of the racetrack, Li Tai believed that Du Chuke would handle it well.

To be honest, Li Tai felt that when Ma Zhou and Li Chunfeng were by his side, Du Chuke's ability was only average.

But when Ma Zhou worked with Du Ruhui and Li Chunfeng went to Youzhou to take charge of his own affairs, Du Chuke's ability suddenly became apparent.

This feeling seems to be that the existence of his teammates limited his output. Now that his teammates are gone, Du Chuke said that I want to kill randomly!

Li Tai shook his head, formatted Du Chuke's rampant and unruly appearance in his mind, and said to Du Chuke:
"Shan Bin, according to Du Xiang, you have always been involved in the classics of the Mohist school. As far as you know, is the Mohist family still alive?"

"Should have died in the Han Dynasty... right!" Du Chuke recalled the classics at this moment, and said:
"As far as I know, Qin Mo, represented by the Xiangli family, seems to have pissed off Lu Buwei and Li Si...

Then Zhao Gao came to the stage and beat Zhao Gao, but Zhao Gao didn't have the guts of the first two, and when he pointed the deer at the horse, he killed it!

Chu Mo and Deng Ling seemed to have offended Li Yuan, and were basically buried with Chun Shenjun.

As for Qi Mo... do you know Tian Heng's Five Hundred Soldiers? "

"After Tian Heng's death, the five hundred warriors who accompanied him to commit suicide were all from the Mo family?!" The corners of Li Tai's mouth twitched involuntarily.

"It can't be said that they are all, but at least there are 300 people, and Qi Mo has naturally been hit hard!" Du Chuke said,
"Later, Confucianism was respected by the great Han, and the surviving Mohist forces were continuously uprooted.

At most, the knowledge of the Mohist family was taken away by some family, but the Mohisthism should be dead.

If anyone claims to be a Mohist, he will be beaten to death by Confucianism in this world! "

"Tell me, how about I call myself the Mohist school and follow the Li Mohist sect?" Li Tai reminded Du Chuke enthusiastically.

"King Yue, this is not a show. If you do this, the saint will be the first to beat you to death!" Du Chuke said.

"Eh?" Li Tai didn't expect Du Chuke to say such a thing.

Du Chuke said solemnly: "After you are Lao Tzu, you can only be a Taoist.

It doesn't matter if you like Mohist theory or something, and it doesn't matter if you hate Confucianism.

But if you plan to set up the Mo Family Mountain Gate, the first one to kill you will definitely be a saint! "

To be honest, Du Chuke didn't understand why Li Tai had such an idea all of a sudden.

Fortunately, King Yue is just a child. Although he is gifted and talented, he still doesn't know the importance of it.

There are many things that the Royal can do, but there are also many restrictions.

It's just that a normal prince wouldn't step on this red line at all, he wouldn't even think about it, and the more things he would do, the more he would do.

"I always feel that King Yue is very capable, but also very unreliable. Do you want to support King Yue!" Du Chuke murmured daily.

Li Tai bowed to Du Chuke and said, "Xie Shanbin reminds me that if I make mistakes in the future, please speak up and correct me!"

"I obey the order!" Du Chuke said silently in his heart, "I was hesitant too, but he was willing to let me speak out and correct me!
Where can I find a monarch who can accept his mistakes so quickly! "

"Then Shanbin, do you know any Taoist masters, can you recommend one or two for Gu?" Li Tai said to Du Chuke.

"King Yue, you have always paid attention to practical work, why are you interested in Taoist masters today!" Du Chuke asked curiously.

"I'm suddenly interested in Dao!" Li Tai said to Du Chuke, "Because I really want to try to prove Dao!"

"Prove it?" Du Chuke was a little dazed when he heard Li Tai's words, and didn't quite understand Li Tai.

But for Li Tai, it's just that his normal path doesn't work, so he should take another path.

Because I want to find the descendants of the Mo family, and then re-establish the affairs of the Mo family, because the Mo family is completely dead and unable to get through.

Then he came forward to re-establish the Mo family, but he was afraid that he would be flattened by Li Shimin.

So here's another way...

Li Tai expressed without integrity that he would believe in Taoism from today onwards, and he would be the most devout Taoist believer.

To what extent is pious, so pious that he wants to prove the existence of Tao.

Naturally, the way to prove the Tao is not flashy flashes, golden lotus tongues, or purple energy coming from the east.

Instead, it really uses mathematics to prove it, and proposes a method to prove the Tao with mathematics.

The simplest thing is that the hook with three strands, four strings and five is always a right triangle in a plane. Is this an eternal theorem? Then is this thing the realization of Tao.

Similarly, other things cannot be proved by themselves whether they are appearances or inner terms, but mathematics is the only way that normal people can understand and can directly prove whether it is a theorem.

As long as mathematics can prove theorems, is it the manifestation of Tao, or even mathematics itself is the existence of Tao.

Then proving the Tao with numbers is to find all the mathematical formulas in the whole world, and after completing them, is it the Tao?

Even if you can't get the Tao, can you really piece together the Tao and find the Tao through the accumulation of generations.

Anyway, for Li Tai, things like Tao don’t cost money anyway, and belief is just belief.

As a descendant of Laozi (doubtful), in order to prove the existence of Tao, it is reasonable to propose the idea of ​​proving Tao with numbers!

The real purpose is naturally to gather the top talents of Taoism by the way, so that they can jump out of those supernatural theories, at least which they can't understand, and jump into the avenue of science.

It is best if they can come up with different formulas by themselves, and don't worry if they can't come up with theorem-level formulas.

Every few years, I will take the initiative to come up with some formulas from junior high school and primary school to prove that the road of proving the Tao with numbers can be walked.

At most, it is a little rough, but future generations can continue to walk on the shoulders of predecessors!
After all, if you want to develop science, there will not be too many mistakes in mathematics first.
