Chapter 914: An Opportunity for Geography

Seeing Kong Huisuo's carriage disappear to the end, Merton and Li Tai withdrew their gaze.

"Where is my sister-in-law going?" Li Tai saw that Merton was about to leave, and he actually came up again and said.

"Go back to Mofu!" Merton naturally said that he is now a good man in Datang, and he will go back to accompany the pregnant Changle whenever he has free time.

Li Tai smiled and said: "That's a good feeling, this king hasn't seen Sister Changle for a long time, and he happened to go to visit today." ”

"His Royal Highness King Wei, please!"

Li Tai's reason was above board, so he couldn't find a reason to refute it at all, so he had to invite him.

Along the way, Li Tai's eyes glanced at Morton from time to time, and he wanted to speak several times.

"His Royal Highness King Wei has something to say, and the little brother naturally knows everything!" Merton said helplessly.

Li Tai sighed: "This king thinks that he is familiar with the world's books, and his knowledge is no less than the world's great Confucianism, but today he is convinced, you gave arithmetic a vein of Tianzhu numbers to make arithmetic calculations much easier, and now he has given Confucian exotic pinyin characters, taking this as an opportunity, coupled with the wisdom of Kong Huisuo, I think it will not take long, the law of homophony will be created, Confucianism will surely go to a higher level, your light words are enough to make a hundred schools of thought rise, this kind of means make this king breathtaking. ”

I have to say that Merton's performance just now really shocked Li Tai, as if there are endless means in Merton's hands that can make an inconspicuous hundred schools of thought prosperous.

Mo Dun spread his hands and said: "The study of the foreign land is there, Mo is just one step ahead of others to learn about this, Mo is just a porter, and he deserves such praise from His Royal Highness King Wei." ”

"Although everyone knows about this, but under the leadership of Brother Mo, most of the students in the world are also interested in exotic studies, but most of them are facing empty-handed returns, and only Brother Mo has been able to find gold from the seemingly backward and vulgar exotic learning, which is really admirable to this king." Li Tai couldn't help but sigh.

"Mo is just the first person to eat crabs?" Merton said calmly, not proud of it.

"The first person to eat crabs, what do you mean? Why has this king never heard of it, and besides, no one has eaten crabs? Li Tai said strangely, and was instantly aroused by a strong desire for knowledge.

Merton laughed and said, "This is a metaphor, and it comes from Mozi's secret book. ”

"Oh!" Li Taike is extremely interested in this extremely mysterious book of the Mo family, but it is a pity that this kid has never shown it to others.

Morton said loudly: "According to legend, in the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a kind of beetle with a double chela and eight legs and a vicious shape in the rivers and lakes. Not only digging holes makes the rice fields lack water, but also uses chelates to hurt people, so it is called "trapping insects". ”

Li Tai suddenly said, presumably, this insect is the crab he said.

Later, the state of Chu controlled the water and sent a strong man PLO to supervise the work, but the infestation of people and insects seriously hindered the project, and the PLO came up with a method to dig a ditch on the edge of the city, and pour boiling water into the ditch, (the version that circulates is like this!) It's a bit of an exaggeration) The insects came over, and they fell into the ditch and scalded to death. The scalded insects were red all over their bodies, emitting a delicious fragrance. Curious, PLO broke the carapace and smelled the fragrance even stronger. I took a bite boldly, who knew that the taste was fresh, better than anything, so the feared pest suddenly became a well-known delicacy, and everyone rushed to eat it, so the problem of insects was immediately solved.

In order to be grateful to the PLO, who dared to be the first in the world, later generations added the word worm under the word "Jie" and called the worm "crab", which means that the PLO conquered the worm and was the first crab eater in the world. ”

"It turns out that the crab word came from like this, this is the essence of hieroglyphs!" Li Tai suddenly said that at this moment he was very interested in the pictograms of Chinese characters proposed by Merton.

Merton nodded and said: "When Mo Sheng heard this, he sighed and said: The shape of the crab is terrible, ugly and fierce, the first person in the world to eat crabs, and a true warrior!" ”

Li Tai nodded approvingly. The first person to eat a crab is very admirable, who would dare to eat it if he is not a warrior?

Just after Li Tai thought that the story was over, he didn't expect Merton to continue: "It does take a lot of courage for the first person to eat crabs, but it is also a delicious harvest that is difficult for ordinary people to taste, and the Mo family, as the first hundred schools to dabble in exotic learning, is like the first person to eat crabs, although he has paid a lot of price, but he has also gained a lot." ”

When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but feel greatly, and said solemnly: "This is indeed what the Mo family deserves." ”

"The risks and opportunities are equal, just like those Hu merchants who come from thousands of miles to buy silk, even if they are full of bones in the desert, they still can't stop their pace. The difference between the Mohists and them is that what they seek is wealth, while what the Mohists seek is knowledge. Merton said.

The arithmetic line has been the rise of Tianzhu numbers, and Confucianism has obtained pinyin characters, not to mention the Mo family, today the king has the cheekiness to ask his sister-in-law to point out my geographical lineage, I don't know if there is an exotic mastery to learn from. Li Tai said sincerely.

"Geography? Could it be that King Wei also wants to be the first person to eat crabs in the geography lineage? ”

"Yes!" Li Tai nodded without hesitation and admitted.

"Then ......" Before Mo Dun could answer, he suddenly felt that the carriage stopped, and he immediately knew that the Mo Mansion had arrived, and then his words changed, "The children of the Mo family have already returned to the Mo Mansion to report, compared to Changle, he has already learned that His Royal Highness the King of Wei is coming, so it is better not to let Changle wait for a long time." ”

"It's okay, this king hasn't seen Sister Changle for a long time." Li Taiqiang held back the anxiety in his heart and said patiently.

As soon as he entered the Mo Mansion, he saw that Princess Changle, who was already pregnant, was already waiting outside the main hall, and when he saw Li Tai and Mo Dun coming together, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Why did the third brother have time to visit my sister today." ”

When Li Tai saw Changle, he couldn't help but show a smile of love and said: "Your Majesty chose the royal representative to see the discussion of a hundred schools, the prince's brother has not exceeded the foot injury and is recuperating, which happens to involve the third brother's "Kuodi Chronicles", and the father and emperor chose the third brother to come, this is not easy to go out of the palace, and I came to see you." ”

Among the children of Empress Changsun, although Li Tai has already had signs of conflict with Li Chengqian, the relationship with Princess Changle is extremely close, and Princess Changle is naturally in a very good mood when she sees Li Tai coming to visit.

"Third brother don't worry, my sister went to the maternity and children's hospital on time for prenatal checkup, but Dean Zhang got the true inheritance of Dr. Sun, and the fetus in my sister's womb is very healthy." Changle said with a happy face.

Before that, everyone envied Princess Changle's noble birth, she was the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, and she was loved by thousands of people, but now Princess Changle is even more enviable because she married a good husband, and in order to let her wife give birth smoothly, she actually set up a hospital herself, what a favor.

Li Tai glanced at Morton with satisfaction, for the sake of him being so good to Princess Changle, he didn't care about calling him brother-in-law at the beginning.

"I believe that my sister-in-law is not only a good husband, but also a good father, in today's hundred schools of thought, my sister-in-law is proposing in public to start a kindergarten for his unborn nephew in advance, so that he can spend his childhood happily?" Li Tailang said that in order to get Merton's guidance, he picked up good words to help Merton.

"Kindergarten?" Princess Changle couldn't help but light up when she heard Li Taixiang talk about the idea of the kindergarten, and she couldn't help but look at Merton tenderly.

"This is just an idea, I'm afraid it will take three years after the implementation of Mojia Village to enroll our children in school." Merton Road.

"My sister-in-law's talent is naturally trustworthy, and what Brother Mo wants to do, he has never missed, and he has repeatedly come up with strange tricks, just now Brother Wang still wants his sister-in-law to point out the "Chronicles of the Universe"?" Li Tai mentioned it again.

When Merton heard Li Tai mention it again, he was suddenly helpless in his heart, knowing that this time he couldn't avoid it no matter what.

"In fact, the opportunity for the geography is not outside the territory, but in Datang, and it is also by our side." Merton said solemnly.

"Right next to me while I'm waiting." Li Tai couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously looked around.

Merton laughed, and what he said was an exaggeration to say that he was around.

"I don't know how His Royal Highness the King of Wei surveys geography on weekdays?" Merton asked.

"Naturally, I sent someone to investigate the site and measure it myself." Li Tai said as a matter of course.

"In other words, except for the person who measured it himself, he could see the mountains and rivers, and no one else could see it?" Merton shook his head.

"This ......" Li Tai vaguely grasped something, but always felt that there was a layer of fog blocking it.

"And among the hundreds of schools such as me, there is one that can make people who have never seen the mountains feel like they are there." Merton nodded again.

"What the husband is talking about is a poet, and some famous works often make people feel like they are there, and the aftertaste is endless." Changle said in his heart.

Merton shook his head and said: "Some masterpieces are certainly unforgettable, but such masterpieces are very few, and how can they cover the geography of the world." ”

"Painter!" Suddenly, Li Tai had a flash of inspiration and blurted out his debut.
