You must take a breath before throwing a paper airplane. This is the instinct engraved in your DNA.
I don’t know who passed down the rules or what scientific reason there is. Anyway, everyone in the previous life did this, without exception.
With this breath, it feels like you have lost your soul when you fly.
If I have to give an explanation, well, science also needs a sense of ritual.
Fortunately, Li Zhi was not one to ask questions. Seeing that Li Qinzai couldn't give an explanation, he smiled generously and ordered someone to pick up the paper airplane from outside the palace gate.
Looking carefully at the paper airplane in his hand, Li Zhi looked solemn.
"This thing... folded into such a shape, it can reach a distance of six feet. Jingchu really has a wonderful idea. I now believe that the divine arm bow, horseshoe and pulley set were not acquired by Jingchu by chance."
Li Zhi raised his head and looked at him deeply, smiled, and said: "Jingchu has great talent, but it is probably because of his many years of accumulation that he is now shining brightly."
"I feel ashamed. I really only get it occasionally. Some of it was forced, such as the divine arm bow, and some of it was out of sight, such as horseshoes and pulleys."
Li Zhi laughed and said: "If you push me hard, you can bring out Jingchu's true abilities. I'm afraid I will have to push you a few more times in the future so that you can really create some good things for the Tang Dynasty and help us in the development of the Tang Dynasty."
Consolidate and last forever."
Li Qinzai paid homage and said: "The foundation of the Tang Dynasty is due to the great talents and strategies of the heroes. Whether there are ministers or not will not change the results."
This flattery was really thoughtful, and Li Zhi’s expression became even happier.
After the joy, Li Zhi thought deeply. After a long while, Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "The things I created at the beginning of Guanjing can be used by the people and the army. In general, they can be used in the army."
"A few days ago, Feng Jingchu was appointed as the captain of Zhiguo School, but he was idle in his position. It is really a waste of his talents. I have been thirsty for talents since I came to the throne. How can I not reuse Jingchu's great talents?"
Li Zhi suddenly became serious and said slowly: "Li Qinzai."
"I'm here."
"I have made you the Young Superintendent of Arms, specializing in crafting utensils. Every time you earn something, you are allowed to enter the palace without any hindrance."
Li Qinzai's heart sank.
It's not that he's being hypocritical, he really doesn't want to be an official. He doesn't mind if he creates new gadgets when he has nothing to do. But once he enters the officialdom, he has to get involved in all kinds of right and wrong, which is completely contrary to Li Qinzai's original intention.
He didn't want to spend his whole life in intrigues. It would be sad and pitiful to look back on his life when he closed his eyes on his deathbed.
Gritting his teeth, Li Qinzai lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I will die, but I am not willing to serve the king and the country. I really don't want to be an official in the court. If I get something in the future, I will not hesitate to give it to the king. I just ask your majesty to take it back."
If the order is fulfilled, let me return to my idle white body."
Li Zhi was quite surprised: "Why doesn't Jingchu want to be an official? Is it because he thinks the official position is too small? Isn't it considered too small to be a junior officer of the fifth rank as a weapons inspector?"
"I am only grateful for God's grace, so how can I think that my official position is too small? It's just that I have an indifferent nature, my behavior is absurd and unrestrained, and I am not used to the rigor of officialdom. If I become an official in the court, I will eventually become a coward, and it will be difficult for me to do so again in this life.
That’s what you get.”
Li Zhi frowned, then straightened his brows.
"A gentleman does not force others to do something difficult. Since Jing Chu is unwilling, I will not force him."
Li Qinzai was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
At this moment, he saw Li Zhi's generosity and benevolence again, and he was worthy of his famous name in history books.
Li Zhi smiled, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Jingchu created these new things and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. If he has made contributions but does not reward them, I can't cover up the public opinion and tell others that I don't know the rewards and punishments..." "That being the case, the official position of the Ordnance Superintendent is still given to you. I allow you not to enter the court, join the office, and not manage politics. You should be regarded as a sinecure. However, you still have the power to supervise and handle the Ordnance Superintendent. What?
?"
Li Qinzai was really touched now.
Even though he is the emperor, his vassals still have to argue with each other and make compromise after compromise. Later generations should not call him "Gaozong", but "Renzong".
Li Qinzai knew that if he refused again, he would really be disrespectful.
Just give it up when it's good, Li Zhi said it himself, and treat it as a sinecure, just like the "Zhiguo Xiaowei" he was originally named.
The idle job is good. In the idle job, you don’t clock in, don’t get involved in right and wrong, and don’t have to smile with your boss. Not only that, the power of the young supervisor is solidly given to him, without any discount.
The original intention of not being a social animal has been preserved.
"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and I thank you for your grace!" Li Qinzai bowed and bowed.
…………
Duke Shen's Mansion, Gao Family.
Gao Zhenxing was sitting on a deck chair in the yard. The sun was so good that it made him feel lazy, as if it had injected an invisible energy into his body.
The body and mind are bathed in sunshine from the inside out, and the dark corners of the heart seem to have shrunk infinitely.
Gao Zhenxing showed a comfortable smile on his lips and murmured: "The recliner that the boy from the Li family gave me is really good for use. This boy... will definitely be a figure in the future."
Gao Qi sat next to Gao Zhenxing with a comfortable expression on his face.
After spending time in the sun with Li Qinzai at Li's house last time, Gao Qi fell in love with this leisurely and lazy lifestyle for some reason.
Now every morning, Gao Qi no longer goes out to hang out with his friends. Instead, he orders his servants to move a deck chair and sit in the yard.
If you follow the same example, you must have a low table at hand. There must be snacks and glutinous rice on the low table. The distance between the low table must be close enough, but not too close. It is best to reach it with your hand.
This is the life a lazy person should have.
Gao Qi copied exactly what the Li family saw and heard, and after enjoying it for a while, he felt really comfortable.
But there was something unexpected today. Dad Gao Zhenxing just came out of the backyard. Seeing his son's happy look, he kicked his frustrated son away without saying a word and lay down on him.
Then, both father and son were lying in the middle of the yard, reluctant to get up and move as it was almost noon.
The father and son lazily basked in the sun, but were relatively speechless.
Like Li Qinzai and Li Siwen, the relationship between the father and son of the Gao family is obviously not very harmonious. If it were not for the sake of the recliner, neither of them would want to be in the same space with each other.
After a long time, Gao Zhenxing suddenly said leisurely: "I heard that the boy from the Li family has made a new thing called a 'pulley set'. This thing is quite magical. The Ministry of Industry has received more than ten sets..."
"Shang Shu Yang Fang was astonished by him. People in front of him and behind him couldn't stop praising the boy from the Li family. Looking at his attitude, he wished he could sworn brothers with the same surname as the boy from the Li family. Hmm, such a disrespectful thing!"<
/p>
Gao Qi opened his eyes, a hint of astonishment flashed across his expression: "How can the things created by Brother Li Shi be so magical?"
Gao Zhenxing hummed and said calmly: "According to Yang Fang, this thing is of great use whether it is used for the people or the army. It is no exaggeration to say that if it is popularized all over the world, it can save tens of thousands of civilians and corvees for the Tang Dynasty every year.
, if this is true, it is really a great achievement."
With a faint sigh, Gao Zhenxing said: "That boy from the Li family is a great talent and a weirdo. I used to underestimate him."
Gao Qi was stunned for a moment and said softly: "Dad, when brother Li Shi drew the drawing of the pulley block, the child was outside his house and witnessed the appearance of this thing with his own eyes."
Gao Zhenxing opened his eyes and said: "Oh? He drew the pulley block on the spur of the moment, not the result of thinking about it day and night?"
Gao Qi hesitated for a moment and injured Liu Asi. Li Qinzai went to Beida Camp to pick him up in person. Then he suddenly thought of a labor-saving tool. After settling Liu Asi, he immediately went into the house and drew it casually. Finally, Li Cui
Taking the drawings, he hurriedly went to the blacksmith to make it.
A magical tool is available, and the process is so simple and quick.
Gao Qi's expression was complicated, and he gestured with his hands unconsciously, saying: "He... just drew it casually, and in less than half an hour, he got the thing out."
Hanging his head in shock, Gao Qi still murmured: "He...really just drew it casually."
The light in Gao Zhenxing's eyes flashed, and the young man seemed to be relaxed and indifferent in his mind. A casual drawing turned out to be a magical thing that would benefit the country and the people.
Glancing at Gao Qi, who was deeply shocked next to him, Gao Zhenxing sighed: "This kid has weird and unpredictable ideas, and is very rational. He has been in ignorance for many years, and now he is gradually showing his talents."
Looking deeply at Gao Qi, Gao Zhenxing said in a deep voice: "Qi'er, as a father, I hope that you will also have such a day."
Gao Qi shook his head in disappointment: "My child is far inferior to Brother Li Shi. There will never be a day in this life when I let my father down."
Gao Zhenxing smiled: "It doesn't matter, even if it is worse, you can still be a good son of my Gao family. As long as you stop getting drunk and fool around all day long, and behave more wisely and calmly, I will be proud of you as a father."
After a pause, Gao Zhenxing continued: "You rarely go out these days, and when you go out you always go to see the Li family boy. Qi'er, you have begun to change, and as a father, I have begun to be proud of you."
Gao Qi's eyes turned red. It had been many years since his father had praised him. The long-lost words "I'm proud of you" were as far away as the stars.
Then he pursed his lips and held back his tears. Gao Qi said softly: "The child will work hard to change. After years of being confused, the child should grow up."
Gao Zhenxing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Associate more with the boy from the Li family, he will be your good teacher and friend in this life. Choose the good one and follow him, and my son will surely rise to the top one day."
Gao Qi nodded with tears in his eyes. He could make his father proud of him in this life. He suddenly felt that life should have more meaning besides eating, drinking and having fun.
Li Qinzai's calm and quiet face suddenly appeared in his mind.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Gao Qi had to say that his life transformation was all due to Li Qinzai.
