Wei Zheng still had doubts about whether the train was as magical as the King of Shu said.
However, the King of Shu really never boasted.
Regarding this issue, Wei Zheng decided not to dwell on it.
After all, until the railway is built and the train is not manufactured, such a dispute will be meaningless.
If this is the case, then simply leave this matter to the Emperor to decide.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Zheng asked the second question.
"Are the windows of Yizhou University's teaching building inlaid with crystals? How much do these crystals cost? Is this money too wasteful?"
Hearing Wei Zheng's question, Li Min smiled slightly and said: "Zheng Guogong, the windows in the teaching building are not inlaid with crystal, but with glass. In fact, even the mirrors are made of glass. And the cost of glass is,
Much lower than crystal.”
Of course it is much lower. As for how much lower, Li Min did not say.
As for Wei Zheng, I heard that it is actually glass, the raw material for making mirrors.
In fact, I didn't think it would be any lower than crystal.
However, I did not continue to dwell on this matter.
Instead, he directly asked his third question: "Your Highness, I wonder what is the use of the physics and chemistry subjects you teach in Yizhou University? The imperial examination does not test these two subjects at all, and teaches these knowledge to students
, wouldn’t it be a waste of time and a waste of money?”
It is also thanks to the fact that these two subjects were established by the King of Shu, and the King of Shu has created miracles many times.
Otherwise, Wei Zheng would definitely denounce these two disciplines as crooked ways.
However, since this was said by the King of Shu, not even Wei Zheng dared to say it.
After Li Min heard Wei Zheng's question, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Are physics and chemistry useful?
Naturally it is useful and of great use.
However, in the Tang Dynasty, it was hard to explain clearly.
Therefore, Li Min said to Wei Zheng calmly: "Zheng Guogong, the two subjects of physics and chemistry are naturally useful. It will take at most five years to show their results."
Facing Li Min's explanation, Wei Zheng frowned slightly and expressed that he could not accept it.
However, he didn't say much.
As an imperial envoy, his purpose here is to find out the truth of the matter.
As for how to rule, the emperor will decide after returning.
As of now, Wei Zheng's mission has been successfully completed.
Next, Li Min held a banquet to prepare for Wei Zheng.
However, it was flatly rejected by Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng bid farewell to the King of Shu directly, left the Shu King's Mansion, and moved into the inn.
On the second day, Wei Zheng returned the same way, preparing to return to Chang'an to resume his life.
But before leaving, I bought a set of Three Character Classics, Hundred Family Surnames and Thousand Character Classic.
Among these three books, apart from the Thousand-Character Classic, it is an enlightenment book that has been around for a long time.
For example, the Three-Character Classic and Hundred Family Surnames were all written by the King of Shu.
Wei Zheng believes that the significance of these two books is no less significant than the Thousand-Character Essay.
In particular, the Three-Character Classic is more suitable for enlightenment than the Thousand-Character Classic. It is best if this kind of book can be promoted throughout the Tang Dynasty.
However, it is really not easy to achieve the level of Yizhou where everyone wants to learn from it.
…
Not to mention that Wei Zheng had to eat and sleep in the open all the way, traveling day and night.
But on this day, Wu Meiniang came to find Li Min and proposed an idea of her own.
It turns out that Wu Meiniang carried out the farming work in an orderly manner.
But now, manpower is being used rationally and power is delegated.
At present, the entire farming is on track.
Wu Meiniang only needs to listen to reports from a few of her subordinates regularly.
Wu Meiniang, who had spared time, came to see Li Min this time because she had nothing to do and she had new ideas.
After not seeing each other for a while, Li Min discovered that Wu Meiniang was quietly changing.
It seems that because she has tens of thousands of servants in her hands, Wu Meiniang unknowingly has the aura of a superior person.
A strong woman has acquired the temperament and is gradually becoming stronger.
Coupled with her beautiful appearance and charming temperament, she is even more charming.
And it seems that during this period of time, they didn't see each other much, and Wu Meiniang and him were also a lot stranger.
Thinking of this, Li Min smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Wu Meiniang's hand, and hugged her into his arms.
Wu Meiniang's body froze slightly, then she smiled like a flower, stretched out her jade arms, and hugged Li Min's waist.
"Mei Niang, it seems that I haven't chatted with you for a long time? Do you miss me?"
"Well, Mei Niang misses you! I wonder if His Highness misses me?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "Why not? I think about you day and night. I miss you so much that I can't eat with my chopsticks or swallow my bowl!"
When she first heard Li Min's words, Wu Meiniang felt slightly moved in her heart.
But the aftertaste soon came to mind, and I couldn’t eat with chopsticks or swallow the bowl?
You can't eat it in the first place, okay?
Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang was immediately angry and couldn't help but stretch out her small fist and hit Li Min's chest time and time again.
"Mei Niang, I wonder if you came to see me for anything?"
Hearing Li Min's question, Wu Meiniang was still angry. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "Isn't it okay to come to see His Highness?"
Li Min couldn't help laughing and said: "Now you are in charge of tens of thousands of farmers. I don't believe it. You are looking for me just for romance! Tell me, what are you looking for for me? If you dare not tell me,
To be honest, do you want me to be spanked?"
Let's talk, Li Min looked at Wu Meiniang's butt with ill intentions.
Wu Meiniang couldn't help but feel her pretty face heat up when Li Min looked at her, and she quickly said: "Your Highness, it's like this. The railway has not been repaired yet. And if the railway is to be repaired, it will probably take another year and a half."
"If the railway is not repaired, it will be difficult to transport supplies to the outside world. This period of time will be wasted. So, my idea is, during this period of time, can we cooperate with Nanzhao, Tubo and Tuyuhun
Doing business?”
After Wu Meiniang finished speaking, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Because doing business with foreigners is an extremely sensitive matter.
If one fails, there is a possibility of being suspected of collaborating with the enemy.
If the King of Shu was not Li Min, Wu Meiniang would never dare to make such a suggestion.
Even if the King of Shu is Li Min, Wu Meiniang still feels uneasy in her heart.
And Li Min, after hearing Wu Meiniang's suggestion, couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.
Because this idea is exactly what Li Min wants to do next.
Next, Li Min not only wants to do business with these foreigners.
They are even prepared to teach them the techniques of road construction.
Unexpectedly, Wu Meiniang actually went with him.
However, Li Min is still preparing to take the Wu Meiniang exam.
