Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

The local officials who submitted the application materials probably felt that such an idea was too whimsical, so they specially attached a small statement, saying that this young man named Situ Liang knelt at the gate of the county government office for several days, pleading very hard. The magistrate, the magistrate couldn't refuse, so he handed over his things.

Indeed, a mortal body wants to fly into the sky, which will be a very whimsical thing in the eyes of most people. To say whimsical may be a bit too euphemistic. You know, before the Wright brothers actually built the plane, the two of them were not less regarded as lunatics. And that is the future more than a thousand years later, let alone in today's Tang Dynasty, people would not think that humans can fly.

From this point of view, it was not easy for the magistrate who was willing to hand over this document.

Li Xin shook his head with a wry smile, and whispered twice: "Situ Liang, Situ Liang"

Suddenly, he folded his hands and made a decision: give Situ Liang a chance.

As a soul from later generations, Li Xin certainly knows that human beings can fly into the blue sky with the mighty power of science and machinery. Therefore, in his eyes, Situ Liang's dream was not so comical from the very beginning, but there was something worthy of respect.

However, this is not the main reason why Li Xin supports Situ Liang.

No matter what era, there is a need for dreamers. Some people are down-to-earth, some people are dreaming, such a society is a progressive society. If Lu Daren is a down-to-earth person, then Situ Liang is a dreamer. One of them looked down at the yellow land down-to-earth, while the other looked at the blue sky ambitiously.

The meaning of the two of them to Datang is not high or low, they are only temporarily in different directions, but in the end they all lead to the same goal.

After Li Xin made his decision, he shook the documents in his hand, leaving only the two copies of Situ Liang and Lu Daren, and threw the others to the accompanying director of the Ministry of Industry, saying: "These are useless , Throw it away."

After returning home, Li Xin stayed up all night to write a memorandum, suggesting that Situ Liang and Lu Daren should be awarded this year's Zhenguan Award. Two or three people are suitable. If there is no good enough plan, it’s okay to just leave it empty.

The next day, Li Xin brought this memorial to Li Shimin. Li Shimin also attaches great importance to the Zhenguan Award, so he put aside other things without saying a word, and opened Li Xin's memorial first.

After looking at it for a while, Li Shimin frowned slightly and asked, "Can this human-driven waterwheel really irrigate the farmland efficiently?" He had never seen the real thing, so it was a bit hard to imagine.

Li Xin nodded without hesitation: "It is indeed possible. And it is very easy, even a child can step on it. Several children take turns to step on it and play, and they can irrigate several acres of fields without knowing it."

Li Shimin nodded slowly, and said: "Then this is a good treasure that benefits the country and the people, no less than your Quyuanli."

"That's right. I think so too." Li Xin laughed.

"However. What's the matter with this wooden wing?" Li Shimin obviously couldn't figure it out. "It's obviously just a whimsical idea. How can it be worthy of the Zhenguan Award?"
