The next day, Lu Cai came outside Liangyi Hall and waited patiently. When Li Shimin handled all kinds of things, he announced that Lu Cai entered the hall.
The ministers around who helped Li Shimin correct the documents were frowned unconsciously when they saw Lu Cai coming.
After all, Li Tai left, Gao Ling naturally became quiet, but now when he saw Lu Cai, he naturally thought of Li Tai.
Li Shimin kindly said to Lu Cai: "Qingque used the method of executing the Dao in Youzhou to make a lot of coarse salt, so he asked the mountain captain of Gaoling Academy to come over to solve the problem!"
When Li Shimin said this, he asked the eunuch to deliver the letter sent by Li Tai to Lu Cai.
After receiving the letter, Lu Cai saw Li Tai explaining the principle of salt drying method, which is the combination of the law of the sun and the law of water.
These are naturally the Book of Heaven for those who have not been in contact, but for Lu Cai, he understands the laws of the day and the laws of water.
Then he calmed down and said, "This method of salt drying is based on the use of the heat in the sun to build a flat salt field by the sea. When the water evaporates when the sunlight reaches the sun, the remaining salt will naturally be integrated into the water!"
Hearing Lu Cai's words, not only Li Shimin, but also the ministers present also understood this.
Li Shimin said, "Is this the method of enlightenment that you have been discussing in your institution?"
When Lu Cai heard this, he quickly replied: "Reporting to the saint, this can only be regarded as the use of enlightenment.
The method of proofreading the Tao first observes the phenomenon, then summarizes the rules, and then uses mathematics to calculate. Only after the data obtained in mathematical science is correct can the preliminary rules be calculated.
Next, we need to see whether the rules have guiding functions and can be verified and applied in life through these rules, so that the rules can be analysed!
For example, the laws of the sun and the laws of water mentioned in the salt drying method.
It means that the longer the sunlight is exposed, the higher the accumulation temperature will be generated.
For example, the evaporation rate of water is proportional to the surface area of water and the temperature of water, etc.
Lu Cai paused and continued, "Simply put, the Dharma of attaining enlightenment is a continuous cycle of continuous cyclical process of constantly verifying and falsifying the truth, and then re-summarizing, re-enabling the truth, the purpose is to make us more
Look at the world objectively.”
"There is still a false way of proof of this so-called enlightenment?" Li Shimin was a little surprised when he heard Lu Cai's words.
Lu Cai quickly replied: "Report to the saint, because it only took a year for the enlightenment of the Dharma to be put forward to practice.
We have not even summarized the Dharma of attaining enlightenment itself to form a perfect system, we can only say that we are still exploring it.
Perhaps with the continuous accumulation of experiments, a complete theoretical system can be truly summarized, so that the truth can be quickly proved!
When Li Shimin heard Lu Cai's words, he thought about it and felt that this subject seemed to be quite vital.
After all, this thing is not perfect when it comes to Lu Cai’s mouth, but this completely imperfect thing already has the results of the salt drying method. So what will happen if this thing is completely perfected in the future?
"The Qingque used the law of the sun and the law of water to create the salt drying method. So what about you? Have you studied anything?"
Li Shimin became a little interested in this so-called enlightenment method and asked Lu Cai.
Lu Cai replied: "Reporting to the saint, he has some attainments in music, but he relies more on his own spiritual talent.
So instead of letting me show it, it is better to let Shenxian Sun show it.
Recently, he has focused all his thoughts on the study of the law of fire. Compared to me, he should have a better understanding of the Dharma of attaining enlightenment!
When I came, I asked Shenxian Sun to wait outside the palace and asked him to send him experimental vessels. If the saint has doubts, I can find Shenxian Sun."
"Oh... go and proclaim Sun Simiao!" Li Shimin didn't expect that even Sun Simiao would join in and couldn't help but say.
After Sun Simiao came, he saluted the ministers and then made a request.
Because the Liangyi Hall is too majestic, I dare not conduct experiments here, can I move to the door?
It was just a matter of these few steps. The ministers present also wanted to see what Sun Simiao was doing and agreed.
At this time, Sun Simiao took out two ice-made covers, and candles were prepared inside.
The ministers looked at the two things Sun Simiao took out and took a breath. Although it was not unaffordable for the ministers present, whether it was an ice cover that was almost hollowed out or these candles,
That's all extravagant things!
The ice cover was made a bit slender. One ice cover was completely sealed with the cover, and the other one was covered with the cover, leaving two holes the size of a little finger.
"Because the King of Yan proposed the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and the five elements of gold, wood, water, and earth are natural materials that exist and can be touched by human hands.
But only fire is not, so my research is to determine whether this fire is material or not!”
Sun Simiao explained, "And now it is to prove that the flame cannot survive under seal."
Following Sun Simiao's words, he saw Sun Simiao lit a candle and covered the ice cover.
The ministers looked at Sun Simiao curiously, all surrounded him. After a while, the candle inside the completely sealed ice cover burned and then went out, while the candle inside the ice cover with two holes was still the same.
In normal combustion.
"What does this mean?" Li Shimin looked at the scene in front of him and said curiously.
"This proves that combustion requires invisible medium that we cannot see with our naked eyes, and maybe it is the air we breathe!" Sun Simiao said,
"If this is true, then fire is likely not matter, and that invisible medium is the fifth element of the five elements.
It's just that it's something that our normal eyes can't see!"
"Is there really such a medium? Could it be that you were randomly guessing, or even the flame was eroded by the cold air in this curling, so it was extinguished!" A court official couldn't help but say.
However, Sun Simiao was fearless and studied this himself to prove that the flames of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are not materials, but just a process. He was afraid that others would pick on it, and said, "Let's change another experiment."
Soon, the two ice caps were abandoned directly by Sun Simiao, and Sun Simiao replaced them with two new ice bottles.
One of the ice bottles was poured into mercury and characteristic ice tubes, and some joints were wrapped in cowhide.
Soon, the candles in the ice bottle were lit again, and everyone looked at the candle curiously again!
Sun Simiao said, "Everyone, I don't see this candle, but whether the tribute liquid in the ice tube is moving!"
Everyone couldn't help but look at the mercury, and sure enough, the mercury began to suck at the bottle connected to the ice tube.
"It's moving, it's moving, it's really moving!" But the ministers also saw the tribute liquid and began to suck.
Sun Simiao stopped after doing this experiment and said, "This experiment proves that during the combustion process, some of the gas in the places we cannot see is burned, and mercury will fill the vacancy, but I will do the exact amount of it.
Don't know.
You put an egg at the mouth of the bottle of the right size, and you will find that the eggs will fall when burned.
It means that combustion will make a part of it empty, and there will be a force outside rushing into the burning bottle mouth."
Following Sun Simiao's words, the ministers present showed a sudden look of enlightenment and looked at Sun Simiao with a little respect.
Although this kind of thing seems simple, it is really a kind of wisdom, but everyone doesn't know what this kind of wisdom is of use.
"After all, this is just a strange and lewd skill. Whether it is used to govern the country or the family, it seems to be of no use."
Tang Jian looked at the scene in front of him, and although he was a little confused, he still felt a big and useless feeling.
"That's right!" Although Wen Yanbo was shocked, he nodded at this moment. After all, this thing is really useless.
When Sun Simiao saw many ministers saying this, he obediently came to the side and said:
"The Dharma of attaining the truth is to constantly eliminate interference and prove the truth.
The experiment I designed was just to prove that combustion requires some medium in the air.
Although I don’t know what it is, it proves that this thing is the real substance that burns, and flames are just appearances!”
Sun Simiao did not explain anything further. After all, he knew how to burn the flames so that the flames could burn higher temperatures.
With these things, Sun Simiao's research results, he would definitely give Peacock a portion.
Peacock is now studying how coal can burn more comprehensively, and even how to make the steam engine exert greater strength through further combustion.
Whether or not there is a slow experiment with peacocks may not know the answer, but Sun Simiao's research is very important to Li Tai's entire industrial system.
Because of Li Tai's own knowledge, the use of steam engines and coal mines has been avoided.
But these detours are just Li Tai's insight as a time traveler, and to some extent, they are just a unique skill of "word-to-mouth".
These things are likely to be lost after Li Tai's death, but now with the supplements of these basic theories produced by Sun Simiao, many things that know the truth but don't know the reason will be explained after the theory is confirmed.
You will understand after learning it.
And what is foundation, this is foundation.
Even if Li Tai dies, he will even be absorbed by Confucianism.
But these things that already have basic principles will continue to be passed on.
Because this road has been completed.
Although Li Shimin did not understand what the meaning of Sun Simiao's so-called law of fire was, and what benefits could it bring to the Tang Dynasty.
But Li Shimin also admitted that this is a way to understand the world, and even gives people a kind of intuitive knowledge.
The greatest significance of Li Shimin is to roughly understand what the Dharma is to attain enlightenment.
But Li Shimin felt that if he really followed this path of enlightenment, wouldn’t he have to prove all the three thousand great ways?
How much effort does this take?
You should know that today, just showing the law of fire is to use extravagant objects such as ice sculptures, candles, etc., and even a colder weather in the cold winter can be used to successfully display the experiment.
What about summer? Isn’t it even more expensive to prove again?
I'm afraid that only Li Tai has money and leisure in this world, so go for such trouble!
When Li Shimin thought of this, he felt that he wanted to support this theory, but he didn't know how to support it.
After all, Li Shimin would definitely not be able to do it if he spent money into this academic program for a long time.
In the end, they were given one hundred pieces of silk each of Lu Cai and Sun Simiao, which was considered to express their feelings.
Everyone present thought that this so-called enlightenment method was a skillful skill. Even if it was not a skillful skill, the cost would be too high.
And such high-cost things are basically impossible to play with, so I don’t pay attention to them anymore.
But Fang Xuanling looked at Lu Cai and Sun Simiao's departure thoughtfully.
He naturally understood that this method of enlightenment must have been created by Li Tai. Only with Li Tai's luxury could Sun Simiao devote himself to the research.
The existence of the salt-salt method shows the value of this research, but Fang Xuanling also knew that if this theory wants to develop, only a rich master like Li Tai can spend money crazy, so it is certain that it will develop.
It's a lot of difficulties.
But when Li Tai thoughts were put on, Fang Xuanling suddenly realized that the so-called enlightenment method was just an appearance, which was Li Tai's prop to deal with Confucianism!
That is to use reality to the virtual, not to play any argumentative argument, it is to use experiments made by a wealth of money to deal with other people's words.
No matter how much money you spend here, in short, you just have to create an experiment that you can understand by yourself.
At that time, I will touch the words in the Analects of Confucius little by little.
As long as one sentence is proved to be false, then the book "The Analects of Confucius" will have problems and the sage's words become a joke.
If there is a problem with the words of the sage, it will naturally shake the foundation of the entire Confucianism!
"The King of Yan wouldn't use this, it's almost the stupidest way!" Fang Xuanling was also shocked when he thought of this.
After all, how much resources does this idea need to be invested in, and how lucky it takes.
More importantly, the book "The Analects of Confucius" has been passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, and is naturally the foundation of the entire Confucianism.
With so many wise people reading this book, how could it be wrong? Even even if there is a loophole, it is impossible to have talent?
But if Li Tai used the idea of debating the scriptures to find loopholes in the Analects of Confucius, Fang Xuanling would not have any concerns. After all, if Confucian students can't even argue with Li Tai, then what is the meaning of Confucianism to pass on?
But if Li Tai searches for the flaws of the Analects of Confucius from various experiments, this is the way that the King of Yan is best at.
Now that Du Ruhui is leading the construction of the Grand Canal, wasn’t it just that Li Tai first experimented with the “Cache Transport Plan” on the Wei River before taking it to the Grand Canal to implement it!
I want to use this practical experiment to pick out the mistakes in the Analects of Confucius. To be honest, Fang Xuanling is really not sure about the Analects of Confucius.
Because this is not a normal debate, but an experiment!
"What a headache!"
Fang Xuanling pressed his head, but he really didn't expect that King Yan was still staring at Confucianism even now.
How much grudges and how much grudges are there? Can you remember them for a lifetime?
However, it is fortunate that King Yan was staying in Youzhou. Even if there is a Dharma of enlightenment, it will not cause any serious impact at least in a short period of time, but it can only take one step at a time.
"Or, was it possible to arrange a group of people to enter the agricultural institution... Yi Ai's age seems to be almost the same, and it doesn't seem to be very conspicuous when entering the agricultural institution." Fang Xuanling touched his beard and felt that he could arrange it.
Li Taike didn't know what happened in Chang'an. For Li Tai, the most important thing is to build the road beside the Youzhou Canal.
However, this road cannot be repaired in a short time. With the arrival of the New Year, the corvee workers were arranged to go home one after another, and the construction of the entire road also stagnated.
However, Li Tai was not idle and began to celebrate the arrival of the New Year with everyone.
