Road to science and technology

Chang'an City is bustling with traffic, and the wide Suzaku Avenue is paved with bluestone and has been cleaned cleanly.

Due to the tasks issued by the system, Ye Liangchen finally chose to contact Li Shimin because he knew that Journey to the West for Buddhist Scriptures had a great relationship with Li Shimin.

The process went quite smoothly, probably because of the trip to Mount Tai.

Li Shimin chose to meet him at the court meeting. As soon as Ye Liangchen entered the hall, he saw all the officials of the Tang Dynasty looking over. Ye Liangchen, who had never seen such a scene before, was a little flustered, but with the help of systematic protection, he calmed down. .

In the Xuanzheng Hall, Li Shimin sat on the throne. The ministers, divided into civil and military officials, stood in two rows in the hall.

In fact, it was the first time for women to go to the palace in the Tang Dynasty, and the officials also had objections. However, Li Shimin's prestige was very high now, so with his insistence, some of the objections disappeared.

In fact, it was not the first time, but it was not the Zhenguan Dynasty, but the Wude Dynasty.

That person was Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang, the third daughter of Li Yuan. She was a real hero among women. Historically, she directly gathered the heroes of Guanzhong, raised an army in Sizhu, and then led the Detachment of Women to join forces with Li Shimin on the north bank of the Weishui River to jointly defeat the Sui Dynasty's Daxing. The city is the city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

This is also the origin of the Detachment of Women.

After her death in the sixth year of Taketori's reign, she was given the posthumous title of "Zhao", so she was also called Princess Pingyang Zhao. She was the first princess in the Tang Dynasty to be given a posthumous title after her death, and she was also the only woman in history to be buried with military rites.

You can imagine how high-level etiquette this is. The two things that symbolized the country in ancient dynasties were undoubtedly sacrifices to heaven and military operations.

That's why it is said in Gongyang Zhuan that "the great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs." Sacrifice means offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestors. Rong is related to war weapons and symbolizes military. This is also what Sun Tzu said in The Art of War: "Soldiers are the most important thing in the country." ’ basis.

Why do ancient literati always say, "Return your body wrapped in horse leather"? This is a wish to be buried with "rong" etiquette after fighting for the country. For warriors, this is like the desire of scholars to leave a name in history. It is not difficult to understand Li Xiuning, not to mention that this is still in a patriarchal ancient dynasty.

Back to business.

At this moment, Ye Liangchen, already a woman, had stepped into the palace.

But if you don't count the sleeping time, he has only traveled here for more than half a month. He never thought that he would see the emperor one day, so he just walked to the middle of the palace and didn't salute, just staring blankly at the slightly fat man. Li Shimin.

At this time, Li Shimin was wearing a red-yellow court dress with a carved dragon, a folded scarf hat on his head, a nine-ring belt around his waist, and Liuhe boots. He was sitting on it, stroking his beard with his hand and looking steadily at Ye Liangchen.

At this time, one of the civil servants came out and shouted: "Be brave, you can't do it even if you meet His Majesty."

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shimin who raised his hand and said, "Wuji, don't be rude to female gentlemen."

Li Shimin looked at Ye Liangchen and couldn't help but think of Li Xiuning. When he thought of Li Xiuning, he thought of those prosperous years, so he did not allow Changsun Wuji to ruin this rare atmosphere.

Li Shimin looked at Ye Liangchen again, then closed his eyes, as if recalling how Li Xiuning stood in the hall at that time.

After a while, he sighed and suppressed the memory, and then said: "I once received advice from a wise man on the top of Mount Tai, saying that female teachers are the key to a prosperous country through science and technology. The time and place mentioned by the wise man are still there. There is a female gentleman who is dressed just like you, so I invite you to come here and ask me, may I ask her name?"

"Ye Liangchen." Ye Liangchen hugged Li Shimin in the way he remembered the ancients saluting, and then said: "Your Majesty, do you know the name of the great person you saw on Mount Tai?"

Ye Liangchen's clear voice sounded in the Xuanzheng Hall. Since he was not allowed to carry a sword when entering the hall, his hands were empty now.

"It turns out to be Mr. Ye. I really don't know his name."

Li Shimin shook his head, and then got down to business: "Although you are the person you are referring to, I don't know Mr. Ye's abilities. Sir, can you give me an answer?"

Li Shimin's call of "Mr. Female" made Ye Liangchen feel secretly happy. After turning into a woman, everyone he met before called him "little lady". Now this title made him feel much more comfortable.

"What does Your Majesty want to ask?"

When Ye Liangchen was talking, everyone in the hall was basically looking at him. The reason was for no other reason than that he looked pretty, and he was wearing clothes similar to those of the heroines in the movies, which were very different from the clothes of women in this era. .

This contrast made people above the Xuanzheng Hall look at him frequently.

However, most of the ministers felt that Ye Liangchen had lost a little weight and it would be perfect if he gained a few more pounds.

"Since science and technology are prospering the country, it is naturally related to it. Mr. Ye won't think that it is about wielding swords and guns! If I want to dance with swords and guns, I don't need to find Mr. Ye. I'm not bragging. In terms of martial arts, in this hall, Just one person can defeat a country."

Ye Liangchen really thought he was wielding swords and guns, but now he was relieved. When asked about other things, he was certainly confident. After all, I have the system in hand and I have the world.

Li Shimin continued: "Although our country, the Tang Dynasty, was short-lived, it was invincible in the world. However, for a long time, due to various reasons, most of the ancient scientific classics were lost, and the previous dynasties did not pay attention to them. As a result, most of the knowledge books in our Tang Dynasty today are incomplete. , so I invite Mr. Ye to help fill in the gaps. I wonder if you have any ideas?"

Ye Liangchen frowned when he heard this. Are you asking him to complete the book?

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Liangchen thought it would be better to just mess around for now. After all, the system had finally managed to do something like this, and he would wait until the plot progresses to learn more and then think of another solution.

Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen said: "I must first understand what academic books your Majesty has here before I know how to act."

However, Li Shimin didn't say anything. He only heard a eunuch shout: "Xuanjiang Shilang, Li Chunfeng comes to the palace!"

"Xuan Maoshi, Wang Xiaotong comes to the palace!"

General Shilang is the 29th rank of civil servants in the Tang Dynasty. He is a casual official among the civil servants. Li Chunfeng is still a young man. He has shown excellent knowledge of astronomy, calendar, mathematics and other things not long after he joined the job, so Li Shimin today I specifically asked him to come up and ask questions.

Wang Xiaotong, on the other hand, is an old man in his sixties and is the most proficient in mathematics in the Zhenguan Dynasty today. Different from the original history where he only wrote the "Ji Gu Suan Jing", he was influenced by the knowledge passed down from Mount Tai at that time. , this guy now even knows calculus, not to mention the quadratic square root that he already knew.

At this time, Li Chunfeng asked as soon as he came up: "Does the female gentleman know the multiplication formula, the Pythagorean theorem, the area of ​​a circle, and the volume of a cone?"

It turned out that the good guy asked me to take a test. Ye Liangchen was in a daze. He naturally remembered this, but he was a little unhappy with this kind of direct test in public, so he snorted: "Bring paper and pen!"

The little eunuch was naturally very cooperative and even brought a table up.

Ye Liangchen picked up the brush and wrote down the formula with two swipes, and then looked provocatively at Li Chunfeng, who looked like a teenager.

"Does the female gentleman know the principles of steam engines?" Li Chunfeng asked again.

Ye Liangchen spoke out the principle without thinking at all.

"Do you know the combustion equation of black gunpowder?" Li Chunfeng asked again. This question was asked by Li Shimin. In fact, he didn't know, because black gunpowder is now a secret technique of the Tang Dynasty.

Ye Liangchen was shocked. He really couldn't remember this, but he had a way. He said in his mind: "System, give me a black powder combustion equation."

System: "This is the content of physics and energy science technology. The host has not unlocked these two knowledges, so there is no comment. Unlocking requires 500 points and 700 points respectively. Whether to unlock it or not."

"Get it, get it, get it!" Ye Liangchen shouted hurriedly. He secretly thought that he was lucky. If he had exchanged all the points for cultivation at that time, he would be embarrassed now.

Who the hell would have thought that Tang Dynasty would ask such a question.

With systematic help, Ye Liangchen answered Li Chunfeng's next questions fluently.

At this time, the eyes of the officials, including Li Shimin, began to change when they looked at him, especially Li Shimin. He also believed more and more what the wise man on Mount Tai said.

At this time, the energetic Wang Xiaotong cupped his hands and said: "Female sir, do you know how to position the journey of the sun and the moon? Please use the formula to calculate the time of the next solar eclipse."

Ye Liangchen felt a chill in his heart and looked at Wang Xiaotong with a confused expression.
