Chapter 115: The Rise of the Chen Clan

After listening to Li Shimin's words, everyone looked at Li Shimin quietly, waiting for his next speech!

Li Shimin immediately said: "I look at Deng Jian, but he can create a talent, he can recite poetry in a few months, it is really rare, especially his understanding of poetry, which can be called mysterious." ”

At this moment, Li Shimin's heart is hot.

He even thought that I should compose some poems so that the common people could learn them.

As for the reading comprehension of the poems, Li Shimin is even more steady.

He was the emperor...... Any Emperor ...... They all hope to establish their own authority, which is the foundation for Datang to be stable in the future.

That is the so-called eternal inheritance.

The clans want to monopolize learning, not only do they look down on Deng Jian, but they are afraid that even I can't look down on them.

And this Chen Zhengtai ...... I really found a path for me to try!

The clan is too rampant, it has been rampant to the point of forgetfulness, this time ...... Be sure to hit it hard.

But it is not easy to beat them, because these people have already passed thousands of years, with marriages, teachers and students, fellow villagers, old officials, county prestige, land, slaves and countless other things, forming an invulnerable huge net, any beating on them will trigger a huge backlash.

In that case, then don't touch them for the time being, but ...... Encourage Chen Zhengtai.

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai and continued: "If this Deng Jian enters the school in the future, won't they also become my apprentices?" ”

Chen Zhengtai nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the teacher, their knowledge is all due to the students, but the students are the disciples of the teacher, so they ......."

"Good." Li Shimin said happily: "Everyone has relatives, and I have them, and I hope they can become talents." ”

Listened to this...... Everyone gasped!

Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?

Kong Yingda and the others were a little panicked.

This is obviously a terrible sign.

I saw Li Shimin and immediately said: "The prince is young, but he can't be idle all day long, let him come to this Erpigou University Hall every month to take a walk and supervise his homework." ”

This effect is really unprecedentedly good, Chen Zhengtai couldn't imagine that his teacher was so supportive of him.

But at the same time, Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai with a meaningful look, because he knew very well that he had expressed his full support in front of so many people, and to a certain extent, the person who would be under great pressure was not himself.

He is the Son of Heaven and controls the world's soldiers and horses, even if someone is dissatisfied with this, he does not dare to show off his might in front of him, but if these people want to do bad things, they must start from Chen Zhengtai.

That is to say, Li Shimin doesn't know whether this university can succeed, but he must do this, and whether he succeeds or not is no longer up to himself, but whether Chen Zhengtai can withstand the pressure, or whether it is ...... Many disciples have been cultivated.

What Confucianism, what Lao Zhuang, in fact, none of these matters!

The Han Dynasty determined that Confucianism was the only way to have hundreds of years of history. Can ...... now

After the fall of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has lost its role in stabilizing the world!

Over the past few hundred years, dynasties have changed endlessly, and those who have mastered Confucianism are no longer tied to the royal family, but are planning their own future for their families, making themselves immortal families that have lasted for hundreds and thousands of years.

Since these are useless, or ...... They don't want to die for me, so ...... Let the new replace the old.

It's just that...... These newcomers ...... I am afraid that I will sin, because ...... They will face endless pressure.

Therefore, when he said this, Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai's eyes, not appreciation, but a little heavy.

Chen Zhengtai said without hesitation: "The student must be exhausted, and then die." ”

He has already put so much money and effort into it, should he be afraid now?

Chen Zhengtai understood Li Shimin's meaning, but he couldn't turn back.

He felt that he was a time-traveler, and he came to this world with the thoughts and ideas of the afterlife, and the first thing he had to solve was the question of where I came from, where I was going, and what should I leave in this world.

This philosophical question, as ridiculous as it is, is ...... Chen Zhengtai has stood on the shoulders of giants and obtained things that others don't know, and he can rely on this to seek glory and wealth, and wait for death for a lifetime, such a life can be very comfortable, but ......

Is life all there is to it?

In fact, when he first came here, Chen Zhengtai had this idea, but soon, he became bored, he knew it very well...... A life without a goal has no meaning.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and at this time, his eyes overflowed with appreciation, he knew that Chen Zhengtai understood him, and Chen Zhengtai's answer also made him understand Chen Zhengtai's thoughts.

So, a relieved smile flashed quickly on Li Shimin's lips, and then said, "Go back to the palace." ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "The teacher doesn't eat and then leaves, he is here." ”

"Don't eat it." Li Shimin felt that when such a thing happened today, he was still angry, and if he still took his ministers to eat and drink here, he would inevitably look unserious, so he said: "If Cheng Qian wants to stay here to eat, let him stay." ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he cheered up and said, "Erchen obeys the order." ”

After bidding farewell to Li Shimin, Chen Zhengtai sighed, but Li Chengqian said happily: "What are you going to eat today?" ”

Chen Zhengtai pulled his face seriously: "Senior brother, please respect yourself." ”

Li Chengqian smiled and couldn't help but say: "I really admire you when I saw you arguing with Master Kong, Master Kong has always been able to speak well, why did you come here, but you always look powerless?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Do you want to know? ”

"Yes." Li Chengqian nodded very seriously, he felt that this was also a craft, and there was no harm in learning it.

"When you meet a person like Kong Gong, he has a strong thinking ability, and he is full of poetry and books, if he really talks to you about the past and the present, ten people like me will not be his opponent, so to argue with him, the first thing to do is to stay sober and calm enough, you have to understand where his strengths are, and what his weaknesses are. Understand this, that is to look for his weakness, and then use this weakness, to stimulate him fiercely, once he is stimulated, he will not be able to keep calm, and at that time, you will not have to do anything, you will find that he will show all the flaws all over his body, and send countless handles to your hands. ”

"Stimulation?" Li Chengqian nodded as if he didn't understand, as if he ...... It's a good way to do it.

Chen Zhengtai wanted to laugh in his heart, in fact, this method is very easy to use, how many great people on weekdays, once they are stimulated, they begin to speak without choice, and finally say a basket of nonsense, and finally in the keyboard world of later generations, it has become enough to make everyone laugh for three days and three nights. On the Internet, I don't know how many people who are usually sanctimonious have been picked off because they have lost their minds, these ...... It's all left over from the afterlife.

Li Chengqian said with an excited face: "In this way, can I use this trick to deal with my father?" ”

"Yes." Chen Zhengtai said very seriously: "As long as the junior brother is not afraid of death." ”

On the same day, I had dinner with Li Chengqian, and I ate some rice wine brewed in this era!

To be honest, Chen Zhengtai is not satisfied with the wine of this era, he has a better way to make wine, but Chen Zhengtai doesn't want to take it out, the wine is too strong, and the Tang people are addicted to alcohol, if they really want to toss it out, God knows how much it will cause trouble.

Li Chengqian loves to drink, but this guy can even get drunk with rice wine, and when he gets drunk, he has to ask Chen Zhengtai to find a woman for him, Chen Zhengtai wants to beat him, so he hugs the pillar, like a koala, his head tilted, and he snores.

The next morning, the morning fog together.

In the whole school, the sound of reading sounded loudly.

The people in the training class in the school are studying, and under the wall outside this school, there are also dense crowds of people.

They consciously took their textbooks with them, and as usual, curled up under the wall!

With their ears against the wall, they flipped through the books in one hand, looking for what they were going to teach in today's workshop.

At this time, it was still early, so the morning dew was very heavy, and if it was not good, the dew might wet the book, so that their bodies were almost curled up, and their heads were deliberately covered with the book, so that the book in their hands could be protected.

Some of them are still wearing night shift uniforms, some of them are not covered with clothes, and their bare skin is shivering because of the cold wind in the early morning.

But just such a group of people, at this time, they all pricked up their ears.

Deng Jian is one of them, he turned to the lesson he is going to teach today, this lesson is very important, there are some things that he can't understand, if he neglects the past, it will be bad, and the content of the future will ...... You may not be able to understand it.

So he covered his ears, in the shape of a trumpet, and listened attentively against the wall!

The voice of the lecture was high and low, and where he understood, Deng Jian hurriedly used his other hand to draw in the sand on the ground and record it, so that it was convenient to absorb and understand after class.

It was very cold, and he had already worked in the second half of the night, so his eyes were yellow because he stayed up late, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, but at this moment, he was ...... His spirit was very high.

In the school, no one will come to drive him.

The gentlemen who went to teach were all disciples of Chen Zhengtai and Li Yifu, and in addition, some people were hired from outside.

Everyone likes to listen to Li Yifu's lectures, because this person who is always smiling on weekdays is not only very kind in the past, but it seems that Li Yifu is also very considerate of these people outside the classroom, so every time he lectures, he deliberately raises his voice very high, so ...... can make Deng Jian and others hear more clearly.

And Mr. Hao Chujun and other gentlemen are different, they can't quite understand the feelings of people outside, and they don't have such awareness.

So Deng Jian and these people divided the gentlemen into many kinds, although they were not enrolled, but they already knew every gentleman well, they called Li Yifu Li Shanshi, Li Yifu himself did not expect that he had become a great benevolent person.

And Hao Chujun is not very lucky, he is called Hao Execution, which means listening to his class, like going to the execution ground.

At this time, early in the morning, I didn't eat breakfast, my stomach was empty, and I was cooing, the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty had two meals a day, one meal in the morning and one meal in the evening, and many people were reluctant to eat too early, for fear of being hungry at noon, so everyone endured it desperately.

When Chen Zhengtai and Li Chengqian left the school the next day, they looked at the young men who were densely packed outside the walls of the school, and even occasionally mixed a few middle-aged people!

Li Chengqian showed a look of surprise, and couldn't help but say: "Who are these people, I really can't imagine that there are so many ill-intentioned people outside, and I still feel scared when I think of sleeping here last night." ”

"They're here to read." Chen Zhengtai glanced at these people who were engrossed, no one noticed him, everyone was staring at the textbook, their ears were pressed against the wall, for fear of making a slight sound and pulling down something.

Chen Zhengtai said again: "Senior brother, let's not make noise here, if we quarrel with them, I can't guarantee the safety of His Highness at that time." ”

Li Chengqian wanted to shout loudly, but they dared, thinking that Lone was a vegetarian?

However, he was soon dragged away by Chen Zhengtai, and he had no chance to brag about it.

While walking, Li Chengqian thought of another important thing, so he said, "What are you going to do today?" Gu doesn't want to go back to the East Palace, Master Kong is afraid that he will be angry now, and he will have to complain in front of Gu at that time. ”

Obviously, Chen Zhengtai has already made arrangements: "Go and build a blast furnace." ”

"Blast furnace?" Li Chengqian was stunned.

"It's something that can smelt copper and iron, junior brother forgot, the teacher is very kind, and made Naju County my fiefdom, I need to build a blast furnace, then you wait and see, it's time for my Chen family to make a fortune."

Li Chengqian muttered: "What does it have to do with me if you make a fortune? ”

"Don't say that." Chen Zhengtai sighed and said, "Isn't it a gratifying thing that your senior brother has made a fortune?" ”

Li Chengqian was curious about what this blast furnace looked like, but he proposed to ride a horse to see it, and he was immediately vetoed by Chen Zhengtai!

Horseback riding is too dangerous, let's walk, it's not far.

This guy has a criminal record, and Chen Zhengtai has a shadow!

When it comes to copper and iron in ancient times, the output is not high, not without reason, on the one hand, it is the technical problem of smelting, and on the other hand, the manpower required for mining is too large.

The vast majority of ore veins are called hard labor, carrying hoes to dig, but the problem is that hoes will be lost, and the quality of hoes in this era is like this.

On the other hand...... Smelting, it takes a lot of charcoal, but if coal is used as fuel, there are open-pit coal mines in Juxian County, and it is easy to collect, but in ancient times, coal smelting could not be solved, the fundamental reason is that charcoal has few impurities, and the pig iron smelted has a fine structure and no cracks, but if it is coal, it is completely different.

Charcoal is good, but charcoal needs to be burned, and the charcoal itself costs a lot of money!

Under normal circumstances, 100 catties of iron costs 700 catties of charcoal! On top of that, there's a lot of time and labor costs!

Copper is rarer than iron, and its cost is several times higher...... The cost per pound of iron and copper is staggering.

Thus...... In order to solve these problems, we must solve them systematically, such as...... Mining methods need to be improved, the method of using coal instead of charcoal to burn copper and iron also needs to be improved, and even the smelting process needs to be systematically reformed.

Chen Zhengtai ...... for this Furious gray hair.

He is a modern person, and unlike the ancients, the production of the ancients, relying on the experience of their predecessors, they will fall into a misunderstanding, thinking that how the predecessors burned it, how they burned it.

But Chen Zhengtai needs to find a way to improve through science and technology.

In fact, these days, he is also hiding from reading textbooks, and he has forgotten to give the teacher the knowledge of many textbooks, and then he goes to observe the experience of other people's iron-making every day, and he has probably figured out a way.

All this, the first thing to solve is the problem of the blast furnace, with a good blast furnace, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

Thereupon...... In this Erpigou, a group of skilled craftsmen gathered!

They didn't do anything, they built a new blast furnace according to Chen Zhengtai's method, the blast furnace was built, they tried to produce, and then they found new problems, and finally ...... and then resolve, and after that, build a new blast furnace......

This process can be described as costing a lot of money, and even Chen Zhengtai almost felt that he was going to lose money and vomit blood, this blast furnace is all money, built and destroyed, and then built new ones, all of which are used as guinea pigs.

When we encounter certain problems, we find our own solutions, and we don't know how much time it takes.

Li Chengqian, who went to see the blast furnace for the first time, felt that there seemed to be nothing new in the blast furnace, and he ...... about it Can't get too much interest.

But...... The craftsmen seemed to be very happy, because they found that the output of this latest blast furnace was more than ten times that of the previous iron furnace, and they could not imagine that this new thing could increase the efficiency of such a high degree.

From Chen Zhengtai's point of view, he is still not satisfied, because ...... In Chen's opinion...... In the world of later generations, in a town and a village in Tangshan, Hebei Province, where the world's largest steel output is the world's largest steel output, people can casually produce tens of thousands or even 100,000 tons a day.

So, keep pushing down and start over! Chen Zhengtai himself, on the other hand, went back to continue reading textbooks, hoping that perhaps ...... What inspiration can be found.

Seeing that the son was still not satisfied, the craftsmen were speechless, as if they had been poured cold water, listless.

Chen Zhengtai asked people to call his third uncle at this time: "Third uncle, there is one thing...... You'll have to do it. ”

The third uncle is afraid of everything, but he is not afraid of things, so he said with great interest: "It seems that the old man is not old, and he can still use it, you say this, the old man is very pleased, you say, what to do?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "I have a lot of use to find a way to get money to buy more land." ”

"Zhengtai, you're right." The third uncle's eyes lit up!

This is a qualified head of the family, what the family relies on, is to rely on the land, a steady stream of land, this is a sign of the revitalization of a big family! This is strongly supported by the third uncle.
