Yipin Tang

Chapter 75

The day of going to Gaochang as an envoy has been settled, and Wang Xiang still has a lot of things to deal with, such as Gewuyuan, Dengxianlou, the vegetable garden outside the city, and the promise to Ningxiang and the others...

Knowing Ju Yiya's identity, Wang Xiang naturally wouldn't wait for her to take the money to redeem the knife. He wanted to return the golden knife to her directly, but Princess Gaochang was quite proud, so she insisted on paying the debt owed by Deng Xianlou. After getting back the golden knife, he repeatedly asked Wang Xiang not to tell about the deposit knife.

After returning to the mansion, Steward Wang was so excited that he passed out when he heard the news that Wang Xiang was made a Marquis, causing everyone to be in a hurry, and finally woke him up. After he woke up, he was busy with Zhang Luo's celebration. The maids and servants were extremely excited, Wang Xiang could not let them down.

The mansion was preparing for the celebration, while Wang Xiang went to Gewuyuan.

Seeing the stone turning into crystal clear glass with his own eyes, Li Chunfeng admires Wang Xiang now. He finally understands why Yuan Tiangang let him stay in Gewuyuan, which is more suitable for him than Qintianjiangewuyuan.

After such a long period of reconstruction, the Gewuyuan is no longer the dilapidated look it used to be. The tall courtyard walls and the patrolling guards outside the gate are a team of guards dispatched by Li Er from the palace. They usually guard the Taiji Palace. Patrolling here is enough to show that Li Er attaches great importance to Gewuyuan. After all, Li Er accounts for [-]% of Liuli's business.

Wang Xiang intentionally controlled the production of glass. Nowadays, there are still a few pieces of glass ornaments produced by Gewuyuan in the major treasure shops in Chang'an City. They don't know that these things are mass-produced with stones. To them, the lifelike colored glaze It is simply a miraculous existence, and it is not an exaggeration to regard it as the treasure of the town store, and the income is naturally very considerable.

Wang Xiang did not know how long it would be before he returned from his mission to Gaochang this time. He copied some basic mathematics and basic physics knowledge of later generations into a small book and handed it to Li Chunfeng.

He is just an ordinary person, lazy and timid, without any ambitions. He thought he could not do it and didn't want to do it when he led the Tang Dynasty to rule the world. He expresses anger.

Maybe he is neither a hero nor a sage by nature, so he will feel in awe in front of Li Er, unwilling to care about gains and losses, and he will feel fear in the face of the battlefield, not even as good as nine-year-old Li Zhi.

But he thought he was barely a good person, and when he saw the hardships of the people, he couldn’t help but help them. He had a small wish in his heart. He hoped that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty could continue forever without going through so many storms. So many ups and downs.Huanghuang Huaxia has a history of thousands of years, but it has been turbulent several times in later generations. It is not even as good as a country that has risen for only a few hundred years. He hopes that with the little knowledge he knows, China can be less rough and less windy. This is He, an ordinary person, can do things for Datang. Daxing reform, fighting and fighting is really not suitable for him.

"Li Daochang, my judgment is really unqualified. Everything is done by you. This is some basic knowledge of arithmetic and Gewu that I have recorded. I hope you can continue to run Gewuyuan well."

In Li Chunfeng's eyes, this is not basic knowledge. He still remembers Yuan Tiangang saying: "This person may be able to create a new school." In his opinion, what is recorded in this small book is the essence of the new school. Wang Xiang's ability to give it to him without reservation is a great trust in him.

The more casual Wang Xiang behaved, the more Li Chunfeng admired and appreciated him.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely carry forward Gewuxue."

Wang Xiang shook his head, pointed to the students of Gewu Academy who were studying not far away, and said: "It doesn't matter whether you can carry forward or not, you just need to remember that they are the future hope of the Tang Dynasty, not those who are full of sages in the court. taxi officer."

Li Chunfeng looked at Wang Xiang because he didn't understand. Although he also thought that Gewuxue was very powerful, he would not agree with it if it was more important than the study of sages and sages.

Wang Xiang could also guess what Li Chunfeng was thinking, and said, "Since ancient times, officials must read the books of sages. What are sages? The way of Confucius and Mencius. The study of sages has been spread for a long time, and the dynasty where the sages belonged is still unable to escape the change of dynasty after all. Destiny, do you know why this is?"

Li Chunfeng had never considered this question before, and heard Wang Xiang frowned at this moment: "After all, sages are not omnipotent."

Wang Xiang laughed: "That's right, the sages are not omnipotent, because the sages can't increase the grain production, they can't make the people worry-free. The sky is full of hype, and the people who are extremely hungry are going to explode after all."

Li Chunfeng opened his mouth to speak for the sage, but he didn't know how to argue.

Wang Xiang smiled slightly: "I know what you want to say. The study of sages teaches people etiquette, good and evil, and distinguishing right from wrong. The merits of enlightenment last for thousands of years, so they are sages. These are all true, but what the people really care about It is whether there is food to eat when the stomach is hungry, and whether there is clothes to wear when the weather is cold, and the sages can't give them these things."

"Could it be that Geology can make the common people have food and clothing?"

"What do you think?" Wang Xiang asked with a smile.

Li Chunfeng was silent for a moment, Tudou, Quyuanli, and the windmill that Gewu Academy is currently researching under Wang Xiang's suggestion, all these prove that Gewu can do things that sages can't do, and these things are of great importance to the common people Real benefits.

"You should tell His Majesty these words."

"Your Majesty is the king."

Li Chunfeng didn't say anything, the topic was a bit heavy, Wang Xiang laughed and said: "Don't think too much, just remember that Gewuyuan is doing things that benefit the country and the people, and don't forget to recruit more good people for Gewuyuan. student."

Wang Xiang left, and Li Chunfeng stood there silent for a long time. Wang Xiang's remarks could be described as deviant, but it was hard to refute.

With a sigh, Li Chunfeng recorded what Wang Xiang said today, maybe his teacher Yuan Tiangang can explain his doubts.

God-given auspiciousness, the grain yield of [-] shi per mu, the news spread quickly throughout Chang'an City after Li Er's birthday banquet, and spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.

The news that Wang Xiang was granted the title of Marquis of Jiayuan also spread to Yicui Tower.

Just after performing a stage play, Xiaoyun, Qing'er, and Xiaobei were all sitting and resting in Ningxiang's room. Xiaobei held his chin and asked Ningxiang curiously: "Sister, you said that the yield per mu is thirty? Is the grain of the stone real?"

When Ningxiang first heard the news, she was also very surprised. Later, when she heard that Xiangrui's name was Tudou, she thought of the scene where Li Shimin personally boarded the boat to meet Wang Xiang on the Jinguang Lake painting boat.

"It should be true. I heard that His Majesty personally affirmed it. This auspiciousness was presented by the prince."

Xiaobei pouted and said, "If Xiangrui had appeared earlier, Auntie wouldn't have sold me."

Ning Xiang lovingly touched Xiao Bei's head and comforted him, "Didn't Mr. Wang promise you that he would help you find your mother?"

"Your Majesty has made the Prince Jiayuan Marquis, will he still remember us?" Xiaobei asked worriedly.

"Will do."

Ning Xiang smiled knowingly, for some reason, she had an inexplicable trust in Wang Xiang.
