"Your Majesty, stop...... Stop ......" Li Hao shouted in panic, the feeling of dangling was so uncomfortable, he felt that his stomach had begun to turn over.

"How do you park?" Li Shimin actually forgot how to park.

"Hit the brakes! Hit the brakes! Li Hao shouted in a panic because he found that there was a courtyard wall in front of him, and the car rushed straight towards the courtyard wall.

Li Shimin was also anxious, hurriedly looked down at his feet, and asked urgently: "Brake, brake?" Where is it? ”

"It's too late!" Li Hao shouted, suddenly raised his foot, stretched out to Li Shimin's side, stepped on the brake, the car came from a creaking sound, the speed slowed down suddenly, and finally slowly stopped, less than half a foot away from the courtyard wall, and it was about to hit it a moment later.

"Huh......" Li Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, his head covered with cold sweat.

Li Shimin was extremely excited and said: "Interesting, really interesting, this car is so interesting!" ”

Li Hao hurriedly hung the gear on the neutral gear, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Interesting your sister, I almost had a traffic accident!" ”

At this time, the ministers rushed over and said, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

"Your Majesty is frightened!"

……

Then Chu Suiliang took the opportunity to attack Li Hao: "Li Hao, you almost injured Your Majesty!" You are guilty! ”

Li Shimin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Hey, this is not about poetry madness, it is my unfamiliar driving skills, I don't blame poetry madness." ”

When the ministers heard this, they were immediately stunned, and they originally planned to take the opportunity to weave a charge against Li Haoluo, but they didn't expect Li Shimin to exonerate Li Hao.

Li Shimin got off the steam locomotive with the support of the waiter, Li Hao also got off from the other side, Li Shimin looked at Li Hao with a smile, and said slowly: "Poetry madness, you have opened my eyes today, this car is really magical." ”

"Your Majesty, this is the power of science." Li Hao arched his hand and said, "The steam engine can be used as the power source of many machinery, such as on the big ship, if the steam engine is used as the power, the speed will be doubled, and it is not limited by the wind, the presumption of the steam locomotive is not large, but it can be used as the power of the train, the train is a good thing"

"Trains?" Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "What kind of train is it?" ”

Li Hao thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he ordered the book to be on the same track as the Wen car, and in ancient times there were rail cars, and the train was a kind of rail car. ”

"I see." Li Shimin nodded and said thoughtfully, "Then is there anything peculiar about this train?" ”

Li Hao replied: "Your Majesty, the train is very big and very long, and there is a painting of the train here, Your Majesty can take a look." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Shimin, who took it and unfolded it, only to see a picture painted on the paper, a long track, on which lay a long train, the roof was still smoking, and there were several pedestrians on the ground next to the train.

This sketch was specially drawn by Li Hao for Li Shimin to see, and the reason why he painted a few people next to it was to use it as a reference to let Li Shimin know how big the train was.

"Is this a car?" Li Shimin exclaimed in disbelief after seeing it, "Pedestrians are so small compared to them, how big does this train be?" And...... That's too long, it's like a dragon! ”

Li Hao nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the train is really big, and it can be used both for the state and for civilian use, where the track is paved, the train can go there, Your Majesty can imagine that if the track leads directly from Chang'an to the border of the Tang Dynasty, if there is a war on the border, we can use the train to carry troops to the border, the train speed is extremely fast, from Chang'an to Xizhou, it can be done in three or five days, and the army can be transported to Xizhou by train within three or five days, and if it is the previous way of marching, it will take at least three months." ”

"Three or five days?" Li Shimin looked at Li Hao in shock when he heard this, and asked, "Train...... Is it really so fast? ”

Li Hao nodded vigorously: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to bully the king, the train is so fast, but it is not easy to erect iron tracks, if it is flat, it is fine, if you encounter mountains, deserts, rivers, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, things in the world are like this, if you want to have a return, you have to pay." ”

"Hmm......" Li Shimin nodded slowly when he heard this, and deeply agreed with Li Hao's words.

Chu Suiliang, who was on the side, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, since laying the track is so costly and costly, please think twice before acting." ”

"Of course I know." Li Shimin glanced at Chu Suiliang, he didn't seem to be very happy, it was obvious that Li Shimin was very excited about the train that Li Hao said, this is a great feat, which can make the transportation of Datang extremely convenient, but he also knows the difficulties, he needs money, a lot of money.

Li Hao said at this time: "Your Majesty, open railways, build trains, these ministers have money, but Your Majesty, the ministers show you so many scientific and technological achievements today, in order to make Your Majesty pay attention to science, what the ministers show is just a drop in the bucket of science, and the ministers hope that there will be more scientific talents in the Tang Dynasty, rather than Confucianism, which needs Your Majesty's support." ”

As soon as Li Hao's words came out, all the Confucian ministers suddenly became noisy, and Chu Suiliang glared and shouted: "Li Hao, you actually bewitched the saints, what is called Confucianism, Confucianism is the head of a hundred schools, I Datang established the country with etiquette, and naturally should respect Confucianism, do you want to let Datang ethics die out and let the people turn their backs on morality!" ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "Lord Chu is serious, Li Hao just persuaded His Majesty to open the door of science, educate people and cultivate morality, and naturally respect Confucianism, Confucianism is still the head of a hundred schools, and there is no intention of attacking Confucianism." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin slowly asked: "Poetry madness, then tell me, what do you need me to do?" ”

Li Hao was secretly overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister asks Your Majesty to change the scientific research temple into the Datang Science Research Institute, which specializes in accepting high-level scientific talents, and the state provides funds for them to do scientific and technological research. ”

"This can be played." Li Shimin replied without hesitation.

Li Hao also said: "Your Majesty, the minister also wants to ask Your Majesty to set up one or two primary schools in each county of the country for three years, to set up middle schools in all states of the country for three years, and to set up universities in all provinces of the country for two years. ”

Li Shimin thought for a moment when he heard this, and asked, "Do these primary schools, middle schools, and universities you mentioned teach science?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, yes." Li Hao nodded.

Li Shimin asked again: "What if spies from other countries get involved, learn science, and bring it back to their country?" ”

Li Hao said seriously: "Your Majesty, science is the world, it will never be limited to a certain country, and it will definitely spread all over the world in the end, what we have to do is to be one step ahead of others, when other countries begin to discover the importance of science, my Datang has already traveled all over the country, and all the people have electricity, and have completed the rejuvenation of the country through science and technology." ”

"Hmm......" Li Shimin muttered thoughtfully.

The scholars on the side suddenly couldn't stand still, and they spoke out against it, Li Hao's proposal was too much, and he actually wanted to build a school in the country, and built a school but did not teach Confucianism, which would definitely lead to the weakness of Confucianism in the end, only a few decades, I am afraid that Confucianism will tend to die, they oppose it, and there are some legitimate reasons, such as the establishment of a school in the country needs to spend too much money, such as if science is learned by other countries, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty...... Li Shimin couldn't make a decision for a while, and hesitated there.

Li Hao said eagerly: "Your Majesty, it is imperative to rejuvenate the country through science and technology, and please don't hesitate any longer." ”

"Let me think about it, let me think about it." Li Shimin raised his hand to stop Li Hao, and slowly paced in the courtyard with his hands.

While walking, Li Shimin suddenly saw a strange thing in the corner, and walked over quickly, and Li Hao and the ministers followed.

Li Shimin took a closer look, this thing was a bicycle, but Li Shimin and the ministers naturally didn't know each other.

Li Shimin pointed to the bicycle and asked, "What is this?" ”

Li Hao replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this is a bicycle." ”

"Bikes?" Li Shimin was surprised when he heard this, "Can this car walk on its own?" ”

"Not really." Li Hao explained, "Your Majesty, this is a rickshaw, you need a person to ride it, step on the pedals with both feet, and turn the wheels with it, and the car can move forward." ”

"Ridiculous!" Chu Suiliang said coldly when he heard this, "This car only has two wheels, and it is one in front of the other, how can people ride on it, I am afraid that it will fall when it goes up!" ”

"yes, yes." The ministers nodded in agreement.

Li Shimin was also puzzled, he also felt that this bicycle could not stand firm at all, how could he ride?

Li Hao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said loudly: "Lord Chu Sui, I can ride this bicycle forward for five hundred steps, do you believe it or not?" ”

Chu Suiliang glared and said loudly: "Chu naturally doesn't believe it!" ”

Li Hao turned his head to face the ministers and said, "Colleagues, do you believe it or not?" ”

All the ministers shook their heads.

Li Hao looked at Li Shimin again, arched his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, do you believe it?" ”

Li Shimin stared at the bicycle for a while, and found that the bicycle was supported by the iron frame behind it, so he said: "Poet, can you take this iron frame?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, you can." Li Hao said that he stepped forward and opened the iron support frame of the car, and the bicycle was about to fall down, but Li Hao held on to it, so it didn't fall.

Li Shimin walked over to hold the bicycle and said to Li Hao: "You let go of your hand." ”

Li Hao let go of his hand, Li Shimin held the bicycle alone, slowly let go, the bicycle was about to fall again, he hurriedly held it again, and looked at Li Hao suspiciously: "Once there is nothing to support, this car will fall, how do you ride five hundred steps?" ”

Li Hao smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, colleagues, it seems that you don't seem to believe it, okay, Li Mou will make a bet with Your Majesty and your colleagues, if Li can't ride this car for 500 steps, he will donate 1 million guan to the treasury, and lose another million guan to all of you to divide it equally, how about it?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they were all in an uproar, and even Li Shimin couldn't help but be moved, Li Hao's bet was awesome, and it was two million yuan as soon as he opened his mouth, and it can be seen from this point that Li Hao is really rich.

After the ministers were surprised, Chu Suiliang asked Li Hao: "Okay, then what if you win?" What do you want? ”

Li Hao said loudly: "If I win by luck, I hope that the emperor can adopt what I have played, and you adults must not have any objections, if you don't want to make this bet with Li Hao, please raise your hand now." ”

Everyone looked at each other, none of them spoke, and no one raised their hands, Li Shimin took the lead in speaking: "This gambling contract is very interesting, I will play with the poem." ”

Chu Suiliang rolled his eyes and sneered: "Okay, but Li Hao, how about we add another bet?" ”

Li Hao spread his hands and said: "What is the bet, Lord Chu, please speak." ”

Chu Suiliang raised his eyebrows and said: "If you win, when you and I meet in the future, I will salute you and call you Mr., on the contrary, if Chu wins, you will also salute me and call me Mr." ”

Li Hao smiled lightly and nodded: "Yes." ”
