Chapter Twenty-Three: Lee's Six Questions
Xianyang, Prime Minister's Mansion
"Li Xiang, how can a common man be sealed, and you won't stop it."
"Zhao Gao, this pickled thief, this Li Chen must be a group of pickled thieves."
"Your Majesty, you are confused!"
"Lord Zhao said cautiously, it would not be good if he left my Li Mansion and entered the prison of the Black Ice Terrace."
Li Si's mansion was lively, and a group of civil officials were like keyboard warriors in their previous lives. In front of the First Emperor, one by one pretended to be more ostriches than ostriches, which would give each of them a command.
"I heard that the princess has been able to go down to the ground, and His Majesty wants to summon the common people in the past few days. As you should know, Your Majesty must not be disobedient. At that time, all of you adults will take the school examination school and our new marquis, and you will have a bad anger in your chest. Lees spoke.
Li Chen has fallen in love with walking in the past few days, walking in Tianlong, between the fields, everyone has to call Hou Ye when they see it. Compared with the owner, this title is really high-end, atmospheric, and much higher-grade.
Three days later
"Master Hou, summon your majesty tomorrow morning." As soon as Li Chen got up, he saw several eunuchs outside the door.
"A few people walk slowly." Li Chen sent away a few eunuchs who couldn't close their mouths with their mouths smiling, and the tea money was not less.
After sending a few people away, Li Chen thought in his heart.
You must know that the twenty-level title system of the Qin Dynasty is extremely strict when it comes to promotion. Although Li Chen is only an idle marquis, I am afraid that many people in the court are not convinced.
Tomorrow, if you don't show some real skills, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass this hurdle.
Xianyang, Afang Palace
"Li Chen, what kind of official do you want to be?" The First Emperor asked, sitting on the dragon chair.
"Don ......" Looking at the red shadow standing at the forefront of the ministers, Li Chen hurriedly swallowed back the words that almost blurted out. If these words are spoken from the top of the main hall, it will be light to have their legs broken.
"The minister thinks that there is no suitable position above this court. Things can't make the best use of them, and people can't make the best use of their talents. ”
"If the minister is an official, then he naturally wants to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, a continuation of the study for the saints, and peace for all generations. Therefore, the minister thought that His Majesty should set up a separate official position for the minister. Li Chen had no stage fright and talked eloquently.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the guards and eunuchs, all looked at Li Chen in amazement. This TM brags not to play drafts, the biggest madman in the history of Great Qin.
Let the first emperor set up an official position for himself, which is really a lantern in a pit.
"Fart."
"Shaft."
Before the first emperor could speak, some old scholars among the ministers couldn't help but scold.
"Alas, grandstanding." Zhao Gao muttered, this meeting has already regretted helping Li Chen ask for a seal.
"I have hundreds of sons in Daqin, so I have so many official positions. A soldier can fight, and he can be a general. Legalism, Confucianism, and general education can be officials. The Mo family, the Yin and Yang family, the vertical and horizontal family, and the famous family all have their own uniqueness, and they can also be officials. This Confucianism has Confucius, Taoism has Laozi, Mojia has Mozi, Legalism has Han Feizi, and Bingjia has grandson. This can be called a son, and everyone is a masterpiece of the world. I don't know what book Hou Ye reads, what he learns is the law of that family, and he worships the ancestor of that family. Li Si said, his tone was already a little unkind.
In that case, the contemptible man asked Li Xiang. When the flint made fire, there was a book. When there was a nest to build a house, there were books. When the clothes were made, there were books. When Fu Xi created gossip, he worshipped the patriarch. When Shennong tasted the herbs, he worshipped the patriarch. When Dayu set Kyushu, he worshipped that family. Li Chen did not show weakness, as if he was spitting out a blade.
Later, this dialogue between Li Si and Li Chen was also called Li's Six Questions by students studying science.
"If Li Xiang said, I have never learned any of these hundred schools, and I have never worshiped the ancestors of these hundred schools. I don't think knowledge is in books, knowledge is on the road, knowledge is under your feet. This world-governing knowledge is among the people. This farmer's learning is in the field. The knowledge of this soldier is on the battlefield. It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. I, Li Chen, have a knowledge, a name for science. I, Li Chen, have a book called an encyclopedia. Only mediocre people will walk on the road opened up by their predecessors and rest on their laurels. Our generation should open up a new path for future generations. Li Chen's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Li Si.
"The yellow-mouthed child is extremely rampant. Encyclopedia, self-created discipline. What a big breath, why don't you want me to call you a plum? Before Li Si could catch his breath, Wen Chen immediately came out and reprimanded.
"I, Li Chen, have never been empty talkers, Your Majesty, please look at this thing. This is a plaything I have made casually, and this thing looks thousands of miles away, as if it were in front of me. Li Chen said, taking out a monocular from his cuff.
"Bring it up, I'll take care of it." The First Emperor instructed Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao took the telescope and handed it to the First Emperor. His Majesty the First Emperor brought the telescope close to his eyes and looked beyond the palace. The palace is a huge complex, and the First Emperor was shocked when he looked at the mirror tube. I saw that the guards outside the palace gate seemed to be in front of me.
"This thing is very good, and the things outside the gate of the palace seem to be right in front of you."
"Pass it on, and let the ministers see it." The First Emperor was stunned for a moment and said.
"This thing is a thousand kilometers away, as if in front of you. If you just see clearly, the distance can be twice as far. Li Chen said lightly.
"Okay, if this thing is used in the army, our scouts will have a pair of clairvoyance." Wang Jian was holding a telescope, and suddenly patted his thigh and said.
"Whether this thing can be mass-produced, how much does it cost?" The First Emperor asked.
"Mass production is simple, and the cost is not expensive." Li Chen replied.
"It's just a strange trick, it's a little clever, it's nothing." Some ministers were not angry.
"It's just something that you did casually, but I don't know if this adult is not clever in your eyes?" Li Chen immediately asked rhetorically.
"My Qin army has always been strong, and this thing can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, not a charcoal in the snow. Compared with the military, my country has been fighting for many years, and the people's livelihood is on the verge of collapse. The minister said.
"The people take food as the sky, and I will ask this lord, if there is more food, the people will be safe." Li Chen asked.
"Naturally, but China's population is limited, and grain production has reached the limit in a short period of time." This man is supposed to be in charge of food and grass, and he knows this very well.
"Needless to say, it's easy to do at this time." Li Chen said indifferently.
"Easy to do."
"Easy to do."
This is the first time that the Manchu Dynasty has heard someone say that grain and grass are easy to manage. You must know that every time the Qin army fights, the people of the whole country have to tighten their belts for a period of time. It is also thanks to the Qin people's martial arts, otherwise this world would have been chaotic a long time ago.
"My Lijiazhuang has cultivated four new crops, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and hybrid rice. If it is in the field, the yield of this hybrid rice per mu is 800 catties, the yield of potatoes per mu can reach 1,000 catties, and the yield of sweet potatoes and corn per mu can reach 1,500 catties. Li Chen ignored everyone and said to himself.
"That's true." The First Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty can send a team of guards to my Lijiazhuang to check, my potatoes are just ripe." Li Chen said with a smile.
"Fusu, you go." The First Emperor commanded. Although Fusu has a rigid temperament, he is a very upright gentleman, and he is the most just.
It's about half an hour
"Father, it's a happy event, a great happy event. The yield of this potato per mu is 1,200 catties, it is Zhongtian, Zhongtian. The rest of the creatures are not ripe, but they are also growing amazingly. Blessed are the people of Great Qin, Great Qin Wan'an. Fusu fell to his knees covered in mud.
"I know, get up." The First Emperor's voice trembled.
"Father, the son has something to ask for." Fusu knelt on the ground and said.
"Say." The First Emperor's Road.
"The son asks the Hou Ye to be a teacher, to study science, and ask his father for permission." Fusu said.
"Exactly." The First Emperor's Road.
"Master Li." Fusu stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Chen.
"Father, the son also wants to learn science." The voice of the Moon Princess rang out.
"Li Qing, what do you think?" The First Emperor asked.
"This science is a rather cumbersome subject, and I have limited energy, so I am afraid that I will not be able to make two apprentices at the same time. It's not as good as this, when the prince of Fusu is studying on my side, Princess Yue can observe and listen to the class at any time. Li Chen had his own little calculation in his heart, even if he was killed, he would not accept Princess Yue as an apprentice.
