Chapter 404: What is the use of physical chemistry?
Hearing Qiao Qi's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile knowingly.
The last time, Wei Zheng came to Yizhou as an imperial envoy to investigate. After returning, he said: The people in Yizhou love to read. Why do they study? The answer is:
Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, continue the unique learning for the saints, and create peace for all generations.
At that time, Li Shimin felt that this was not something a common person could say, and it must have been secretly taught by Min'er.
And now, Li Shimin finally knows the truth about why they study.
Co-authoring is just for the double salary!
However, this double salary greatly accelerated the education of the people of Yizhou.
After chatting with Qiao Qi and combining it with Li Shimin's own knowledge, he already understood that the business of the villagers in Xiaohe Village has undergone earth-shaking changes since Li Min came to Yizhou.
The two chatted for almost half an hour before Li Shimin stood up and left.
Unexpectedly, what Qiao Qi's family used was not a Zhenguan chair, but a small bench made by themselves.
After sitting for a long time, Li Shimin stood up suddenly and stumbled uncontrollably.
This time, the guards who were protecting Li Shimin were startled.
He quickly stepped forward to support Li Shimin and asked nervously: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Li Shimin waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
But the guard accidentally shouted "Emperor", which frightened Qiao Qi's family.
Only then did they realize that this businessman had extraordinary magnanimity and was definitely a big shot.
In the Tang Dynasty, if he was not the real emperor, who would dare to call another person emperor?
This is a serious crime to destroy the nine tribes!
The person in front of me is actually the emperor?
Qiao Qi pulled her son Qiao Baiguan and her daughter Qiao Qiqi, and knelt down tremblingly on the ground. She was so frightened that she didn't know what to say.
It was Qiao Qiqi who said tremblingly: "Qiao Qiqi, the daughter of the common people, has met the emperor. Just now my father made a rude statement. If he has violated the emperor in any way, please forgive me online! If the emperor wants to blame, just blame the daughter of the common people!"
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, okay, let's all get up! What this old man said is very good, what's the crime? Okay, okay, you are busy with your business, I will leave. By the way,
You must not reveal the news about my arrival!"
After saying that, Li Shimin turned around and walked out.
After Li Shimin left, Qiao Qi was still kneeling on the ground in confusion.
It was Qiao Qiqi who pulled him up from the ground.
"Okay, Aye, the emperor has left."
Qiao Qi got up from the ground and asked in disbelief: "Is that person just now really the emperor?"
Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but said with laughter and tears: "Then there is still fakeness? Who dares to pretend to be the emperor?"
"Did I really chat with the Emperor for a long time just now?"
Hearing this, Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but get angry and couldn't help but say: "Aye, you still have the nerve to say that. In front of the emperor just now, you said that my mother and I were poor, Lian, you really dared to say anything!
"
Hearing Qiao Qiqi's words, Qiao Qi was not annoyed, she just grinned stupidly.
Now that the emperor has not left Yizhou, he naturally does not dare to talk nonsense.
But after the emperor leaves Yizhou, he can finally talk about it, right?
Qiao Qi felt that he could brag about this guy for the rest of his life!
…
In the following time, Li Shimin visited several villages one after another.
The situation of these villages is almost the same as that of Xiaohe Village.
In fact, if we say the richest village, it must be Xiaohe Village.
Because, after all, Xiaohe Village was the first to mine salt wells, and everyone was the first to work on it.
Moreover, Qiao Qi now also makes glass.
Qiao Qi's salary is not ten cents as he said. It has already risen to more than one hundred cents a day.
In front of Li Shimin, Qiao Qi just wanted to brag about her daughter.
However, in ancient times, it was important not to reveal one's wealth.
When they have money, they like to hide it.
Although the food has improved to a certain extent, I am still willing to buy two pieces of clothes and a few pieces of furniture.
But if they were asked to spend more money, they would be reluctant to do so.
Therefore, from the outside, the situation in each village seems to be similar.
What Li Shimin didn't expect was that the people near Yizhou were actually richer than the people around Chang'an.
This couldn't help but make Li Shimin become more and more satisfied with Li Min.
On the second day, Li Shimin went to see Yizhou University.
When Li Shimin saw thousands of children going to school here, he was even more excited.
The education in Yizhou is really amazing.
How great would it be if all the states and counties in the world could be like Yizhou?
There are more and more scholars, and by that time, it will be impossible for the five surnames and Qiwang to control the government.
However, after Li Shimin listened to two physics and chemistry courses, he couldn't help but frown.
This is really nonsense.
This mathematics course is just that. What is this physical chemistry course?
Isn't this a heresy?
If we learn these things, isn't it just wasting our time and wasting our students?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but stood up angrily and went to find Li Minxingshi to question him.
…
"Yin'er, the physics and chemistry courses taught at Yizhou University are of no use at all. Wouldn't it be misleading to teach students by offering these two courses?"
Hearing Li Shimin's accusation, Li Min couldn't help but smile, and then asked: "May I ask my father, do you think this winter wheat, rice can be harvested twice a year, as well as railways and trains, what about these new things?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but said: "These can make our Datang stronger and help us create an immortal foundation!"
Li Min then asked: "Father, do you think that just by reading the Four Books and Five Classics, you can make a train? Can you research winter wheat and twice-a-year rice?"
"This?" After hesitating for a moment, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "Yin'er, do you mean that as long as you learn physics and chemistry, you can study it?"
Li Min nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you learn physics and chemistry well, you can develop more and more advanced research inventions that will make our Datang even more powerful."
Li Shimin was a man of great talent and strategy, so he naturally understood the powerful relationship between them.
After listening to Li Min's words, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Then he couldn't help but ask: "Hey, but the imperial examination does not test these two subjects. I'm afraid students will not pay attention to these two subjects."
Li Min couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "Father, I think these two subjects can also be included in the imperial examination. Candidates who have passed the examination have corresponding official titles and benefits, but they have no real power."
"But Erchen believes that their research will be more useful than many officials of the Tang Dynasty!"
