Session 1 Fundraising in Hypatia

After Wei Zheng left, no one came to Yushan for a long time to harass them. The massacre of the Korean people also gradually disappeared under the suppression of Li Er. After Li Ke reported it to the emperor, he took the whole family to the Sichuan fiefdom and left.

He extended three fingers to Yun Ye, which meant that he was planning to come back in three years.

When sending Li Ke off, Yun Ye saw Qingque, his face turned green, and he looked more and more like a vampire. He was forced by Li Chengqian to go to Sun Simiao's medicine house to receive treatment from Lao Sun. Every day, Yun Ye and Li Chengqian came back from the potato fields.

, the greatest pleasure is to stare at the green bird and drink various medicines.

"It's so painful for me, Mr. Sun. I'm not sick, so why do I need to drink so much medicine? Do you think I'm a medicine man?"

"Shut up, you're not sick yet. People need to be exposed to rain, dew, wind, frost and sunshine to survive. If one of them is missing, the internal organs will be out of tune. It's damp and cold underground. It won't be a problem for a short time. But after a long time, people will be afraid of wind and fear when they go out.

"My joints are swollen, and you have already suffered from irregularities. If you stay underground for a long time, it will be a question whether you will have children or grandchildren in the future." Sun Simiao still took the big guillotine to chop the medicinal materials slowly.

, there is no joking expression on his face."

"Will it affect fertility?" Li Tai's eyes opened wide, and the hand holding the medicine bowl was trembling.

"Hey hey hey, what do you think will happen if yin energy enters the body? Yang energy will be slowly eroded by yin energy. If a man loses yang energy, do you think he will give birth to a baby?" Sun Simiao's casual words almost hurt Li Tai's body.

The soul was so frightened that he picked up the medicine bowl without saying a word and drank it all in one breath, leaving no trace of medicine left.

"Brother, Yezi, how are the potato fields you inspected?" Li Tai couldn't ask casual questions about what he was doing, so if he wanted to talk to Yun Ye and the prince, he could only talk about what they were doing.

"It's very good. It will be harvested in another month. We dug out a few trees and saw that there are a lot of potatoes harvested on them. There will be a good harvest this year. You don't want to go back these days. Let's just walk in the fields.

Get some sunshine, lest I always think you will become a kind of monster in the West."

"What will it become? Zombies? Drought monsters? Those things are all legends. Only if you put one in front of me will I believe it. Didn't you say that you have to dare to doubt and discard the false and keep the truth? But ah. A mouse eats salt and becomes

I have witnessed it with my own eyes."

"Okay, I'll give you a jar of salt and a nest of mice. If you can't turn the mice into bats, see how I deal with you. There are different types. Where have you learned all your schoolwork?"

"Okay, you two, don't argue. Didn't Hypatia have a great experiment to do today? Let's go and have a look. I heard that she invited many wealthy ladies, all ready to see what she would do with a ladle of water.

Burst a sealed barrel."

Li Chengqian was very helpless about the disputes between Yun Ye and Li Tai. Sometimes he couldn't understand what they were arguing about, so he was very depressed and had to use Hypatia's experiment to resolve the dispute.

"No. That big-assed woman is not a good person. The matter of framing me last time is not over yet. This time she did some tricks to trick those noble ladies into spending money to build some kind of laboratory for herself. Adamantine, mithril, this

What are all these things? Yezi, have you heard of it? She also said that she discovered a solution that can throw copper into it and finally turn it into gold. It’s nonsense, but it’s not a bad idea for us to kick her out, hahaha

Ha ha."

Thinking of such an interesting thing, Li Tai immediately became excited and completely forgot about Sun Simiao's words that he might not be able to give birth to a son. In his opinion, the most important thing now is to refute Hypatia and regain his face.

Everyone is busy harvesting wheat, and the fields are full of busy people. Yun Ye, Li Chengqian, and Li Tai are walking in the shade with their fat horses and light fur, which makes them particularly eye-catching. Watching the golden waves of wheat rolling, whether it is

Everyone will be in a better mood. Li Chengqian jumped off his horse, came to the edge of the farmland, picked an ear of wheat, rubbed it in his hands, and blew off the skin. Looking at the plump ears of wheat in his hand, he said to Yun Ye: "It's weird.

, why do your wheat ears seem to be longer than other people’s? I counted, hey, it’s true, there are twenty grains of wheat on your wheat ears. I remember when I was studying, someone from Sinong Temple told me:

I have at most eighteen grains in one ear of wheat, but usually there are only fifteen grains. Let me take a look."

Li Chengqian put the wheat grains in his mouth into his mouth, picked another ear at random, continued to rub it, and then counted the wheat grains. After counting, he happily spread his hands out for Yun Ye and Li Tai to see.

"Look, there are twenty-two grains in this ear of wheat. I see that the wheat ears in this wheat field are all about the same size, so I pick one and count it as twenty. This is also an incredible achievement, Ye

Son, why don’t you bring out the fine seeds you have? If everyone in Guanzhong grows your wheat, it will be a big deal."

Li Tai curiously walked to the middle of the wheat field and picked two ears with his eyes closed. After rubbing them, he counted them and said to Li Chengqian: "That's right, brother, I picked two ears. There are forty-two grains of wheat in total. This guy

Hiding good seeds and not letting us use them, you basically have no conscience. It’s useless for me to catch a dog and eat meat just because I’m thinking of you.”

"What are you talking about? The seeds are still the same. My farmers are willing to fertilize. Where do you think all the excrement and urine from Xinghuafang went? Aren't they all returned to the fields? You think it's dirty and don't think it should be in your fields.

There is such a thing, the emperor's family is right to be more particular. However, if you are particular about the land, the land will also be particular about you. Just asking for it from the land without knowing the return, and being able to grow fifteen grains of wheat is considered partiality by His Majesty.

, I gave you all the good land.

Should we go to the academy or not? We will have to talk about these things when we are free. We won’t be able to tell for a while.” The two brothers looked at each other, threw the wheat in their hands into their mouths, climbed up the road, and continued walking.

Walk towards the academy.

Today, the academy is like a well-dressed and bearded place. There are ladies in cool clothes running around, accompanied by maids or their children. When they see big fish bones, they scream a few times, and when they see Tyrannosaurus rex skulls, some kneel down.

He couldn't hold it back, which made his nephew standing aside blush. Seeing the windmill automatically pouring water into the wooden trough, he actually picked up his skirt and ran with the water, intending to see where the water would flow.

Some people were obsessed with looking at the various butterflies in the butterfly room, making strange noises like a nymphomaniac. Those who were more daring wanted to see the famous gate of the academy. Of course, they couldn't figure out the mystery, and they only felt that they

Keep walking forward, why do you always come out of the door on the other side? Seeing their hairpins in a mess, it makes people want to pull them over to vent their anger.

There were many women around Li Gang. At Li Gang's age, he had already ignored any male-female defenses and was pushed by those women to introduce the scenery of the academy.

"Daughter-in-law of the Liu family, this rockery was made by your son. The brat was disobedient and climbed up the Eagle Beak Cliff in the middle of the night, preparing to jump down with a parachute. If he hadn't been discovered by the guards, something might have happened.

As a result, I was punished by Hong Cheng and spent two months building this rockery. Go and look at the nameplate, which also contains your boy's letter of repentance."

"Yes, it's right for grandpa to punish him. This kid is courageous and short-sighted. His father is a general who goes into battle to kill the enemy. The little woman's character is not obvious in him, but he looks like his father.

Totally ten.”

"Of course the child is a good child. After a few years of polishing his temperament in the academy, he will become a pillar of talent when he is released." Li Gang never said anything bad about that student. In his eyes, all students need to receive education, otherwise

, What should the academy do? It is precisely because children have such and such problems that they are sent to the academy for education. There are no children who cannot be taught well, only incompetent teachers. Therefore, he has extremely strict requirements for the teachers in the academy.

It got to the point of being picky at times, which made many gentlemen lament that it was difficult to get the high salary in the academy. They said so, but no one wanted to leave.

"Look, this is the masterpiece of the Tao family's children and eleven other children. You are women, and you don't know what this is. I tell you, this thing is called a water pump. Step on it with your foot, and the scraper inside will

The water will be continuously sent to high places, and Sinong Temple rewarded him with eight guan of money.

It’s just that the money is too little. It’s embarrassing to say it. What a wonderful water pump. With it, the dry land in the high places can be irrigated with water, turning the dry land into paddy fields. The reward is eight guan of money. Humph, a group of short-sighted people.”

Talking to these women, some of them played the harp to others, but these women kept their ears high. As long as they heard their children's names from Li Gang's mouth, no matter whether they were good or bad, they would become happy.

While he and Li Gang were joking happily, they heard the small bronze bell of the academy ringing. Li Gang picked up his teapot and said with a smile: "Mr. Hypatia from the academy began to read out his lecture notes. Let's go together."

Go and listen, I want to know what secrets she has discovered about the world, so that she can mobilize people like this."

The women surrounded Li Gang and came to the small auditorium. They were very curious about the large blackboard behind the podium. There was also a semicircular table. Under the table were rows of chairs connected together, and many students were already sitting under it.

, preparing to listen to the lecture, Yun Ye, Li Tai, and Li Chengqian stood at the small door on the side of the podium, ready to see how Hypatia raised enough money for herself to buy the so-called fine gold and mithril.

Hypatia didn't think about raising funds at the beginning. She made a serious report, saying that she had discovered some magical phenomena in her research, but the materials she had at hand were not sensitive enough to analyze the microscopic phenomena she had discovered.

To amplify the phenomenon, we must obtain more sensitive materials, such as the legendary fine gold and mithril.

Of course, the money was not approved. After being spat on by Yun Ye, Hypatia became stubborn and planned to give lectures to raise enough money from the ladies of the Tang Dynasty to buy fine gold and mithril.
