"Not counting Fengzhu and the servants of the palace, there are really not many of them!"
After his brother-in-law left with a set of books, Li Yuanjia thought about it secretly: "The prince doesn't seem to be interested. King Wei seems to be getting by with it, and Fang Yiai... Oh, it's too little."
!”
Li Yuanjia felt heartbroken for a while when he thought that these people still didn't know whether they really valued the existence of mathematics.
Promoting Arabic numerals and related mathematics in the Tang Dynasty was just that, he was serious about it.
He traveled back in time to a Tang prince, and he was the Prince of the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period. He had already given up on being a big shot in the future. After all, Li Shimin was so talented and powerful that he could kill his own uncle, Changsun Wuji, Emperor Gaozong.
It’s not someone to be trifled with either. Wu Zetian later killed many members of the Li clan, which makes people feel cautious just thinking about it...
In any case, no matter how he calculated it, Li Yuanjia did not feel that he had the soil to perform politically or militarily.
Besides, he doesn't have the ability.
Playing politics requires talent. Li Yuanjia didn't think that he, who had been a doctor all his life in his previous life, was qualified to join the officialdom. Therefore, even if the Tang Dynasty was not so wary of princes, he would not plunge into this promising circle.
As for military talk, it was even more nonsense. Li Yuanjia didn't even dare to carry a brick to silence people, let alone go to war with thousands of troops.
So after much deliberation, all he can do is economy, technology and culture.
Among them, making money should be the easiest.
After all, you can make money just by taking out any of the things in your head. Thirteen incense and playing cards are typical examples. And with the status of Prince of the Tang Dynasty, many people will probably be happy to see Li Yuanjia focus on it.
Even the emperor Li Shimin might be dissatisfied because of the royal family's reputation, but he would not punish his younger brother for doing so.
But unfortunately, making money is also the thing that Li Yuanjia is least interested in.
This is actually easy to understand. After all, no matter which one he is, he became a real prince at a very young age. He owns tens of thousands of acres of land and a warehouse of money, and can make the whole family live comfortably every year.
Even if they have a salary, they probably have no idea about money. Especially since Li Yuanjia's descendants will all have titles and salaries in the future, there is no need to worry about them.
Therefore, Li Yuanjia's purpose in doing business has not always been purely for money.
Firstly, he is not particularly interested in money, and secondly, countless historical facts tell him that being too rich in this evil feudal society is not necessarily a good thing, especially when you have the ability to become rich enough to rival the country.
, it is extremely important to control your desire to make money...
So after thinking about it, the rest seems to be culture and technology.
Li Yuanjia, who doesn't want to spend his life doing nothing, actually really wants to leave a mark in Chinese history. There is no doubt that, regardless of culture or technology, he must be a wise king, or a super big man.
The rich have better prospects.
Then without any further hesitation, he eliminated culture again.
It is the easiest to be a copywriter, because Li Yuanjia does have countless ancient poems in his head; however, it is also the most difficult to be a great writer, because when your literary accomplishment is limited to the poems in your memory, in this era, it is actually
The kind of person who is a scumbag and can reveal his secrets anytime and anywhere.
No literary giant only writes poetry and does nothing else.
For example, Li Yuanjia had seen the most popular drinking ceremony in the Tang Dynasty several times. He was really a talent. Not only did he need to be able to write poems according to the occasion, but he also had to understand every sentence and allusion of each word in the poem.
Know it like the back of your hand. If you are like Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, you also need to be able to write articles. A small thing can pile up countless gorgeous words!
Being able to become a literary giant by only writing poetry is purely a dream scenario.
so……
It seemed that the only way God put in front of Li Yuanjia was to become a scientist.
Whether it is mathematics, physics, chemistry, or medicine, which he practiced in his previous life, Li Yuanjia possesses knowledge that is beyond this era. If you take any of it, it may change the historical process of this subject. For example, this Arabic numeral... No, now
It should be called Indian numerals, that's how it exists.
Mathematics is the basis of all sciences.
That's why Li Yuanjia wrote dozens of mathematics books, and spent several years carefully compiling six basic textbooks, hoping that this would make China's mathematics make great strides forward. Although most of the knowledge contained in it had already been published in the Tang Dynasty
Master, but it is undeniable that the use of Arabic numerals will make mathematics more intuitive, and the summary of various formulas will also make mathematics "simple"!
Can the best tools combined with the ingenuity of ancient mathematicians enable Chinese mathematics to develop by leaps and bounds for hundreds of years?
This is something that Li Yuanjia is looking forward to very much.
And it’s not just mathematics, but also physics and chemistry knowledge that future junior high school students will understand. What kind of sparks can be produced in ancient China when combined with mathematics, the mother of science?
When he had nothing to do, he would choose whatever he wanted, and Li Yuanjia would be so excited that he could not sleep at night!
However, looking at the reactions of the prince, King Wei and Fang Yiai after receiving the six books, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but feel disappointed. The most precious treasure in the world was in front of them, but their performance was very...
It is difficult to satisfy Li Yuanjia. Even though Li Tai seems to be very interested, there is still a big gap between Li Yuanjia's expectations...
"Your Majesty, Wang Pu wants to see you!"
At this time, Chun Yan walked into the house softly and asked in a low voice: "Should we let him wait outside now, or should we come in now?"
"Wang Pu? Let him come in!"
After being stunned for a moment, Li Yuanjia finally came to his senses and nodded.
After calming down for a moment, Li Yuanjia waited for Wang Pu to walk in. After bowing, Li Yuanjia smiled warmly and said, "Wang Pu, do you know everything about Xinhua Bookstore?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After clicking on the picture, Wang Pu said with a rather excited expression: "The white paper from our palace was sold out almost as soon as it was delivered to us. Now there are still many people who want to make reservations... Your Majesty, do you think we are good enough?"
Can we recruit more people to help?"
"Oh? Do you think you need it?"
"Of course, the more, the better!"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Pu's voice suddenly became louder: "Your Majesty, according to the situation in the bookstore, even if we sell a copy for 30 yuan, we can sell at least 30,000 to 50,000 copies every month. We are now
There are far from enough manpower!”
The production target of Hanwangfu Paper Mill is only 10,000 sheets per month.
Wang Pu originally thought that this number was enough, but now after looking at the sales of Xinhua Bookstore, he realized how naive his idea was! Chang'an City and Luoyang City, the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty, had a lot of powerful and wealthy people.
There are too many, if you include those original wealthy businessmen from the Western Regions...
How can it be possible to get 10,000 tickets a month?!
Seeing the excited look on Wang Pu's face, Li Yuanjia smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Okay, I understand what you think, but ten thousand a month is enough, no more!"
"Ah? Your Majesty..."
"Okay, I have made up my mind, you don't need to say anything anymore!"
Without giving Wang Pu a chance to speak, Li Yuanjia raised his eyebrows and said: "Put the blank paper aside for now. Next, you will mainly do another thing for me. Print six books for me first..."
