Li Tai fell into deep thought, as Suning said, among the hundreds of schools of thought, what is really meaningful for the current era, and the most meaningful for Datang, is only a few Confucianism and Taoism, and the rest are either specialized in academics, or they do not meet the needs of today's Datang, and what Datang needs is so much, according to what Datang needs to learn, it is the so-called art industry to specialize.

So, what exactly should you learn? What kind of knowledge will make me more successful? Perhaps, what kind of knowledge will make me more interested? Li Tai felt that he had no real experience, so he couldn't make a rash decision, so Li Tai said: "What the teacher said is very true, but the students have not been exposed to the learning of a hundred schools, so I don't know what to learn in the end. ”

Suning nodded: "This is also what it should be, know more, it's better than a blind man touching an elephant, first of all, it is the most qualified and successful columnist, the so-called columnist, that is, a diplomat, who goes to other countries to fight for the greatest interests of Datang, defeats other countries, and forces other countries to sign treaties that are beneficial to Datang when negotiating; The enemy's army is pressing, and our side is in a disadvantageous state, and the people will send the enemy army to persuade the enemy to retreat with an indefatigable tongue; Become a meticulous worker, lurk inside the enemy, and always be ready to give the enemy the last blow, which is also what the Vertical and Horizontal Descendants need to learn, what do you think? ”

Li Tai pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I am the prince." In any case, my father will not allow me to be in danger, once I am in danger, the whole court will make a pot of porridge, no matter in which aspect, I am not suitable to be a columnist, this, no. ”

Suning nodded, not angry because of Li Tai's refusal, on the contrary. Suning felt that Li Tai's thinking was very thoughtful. He will not become a figure like the famous Four Gentlemen of the Warring States, as a royal family, he has to commit dangers himself, and he will not be able to pass that level in the court, let alone others. So don't be a columnist. is a wise choice.

Suning continued: "That's fine. Don't be a vertical and horizontal family, there are also legalists, the so-called legalists. It is to pay attention to the rule of law, pay attention to the point that the six relatives do not recognize, do not close to each other, do not distinguish the noble and lowly, and break the law, just like this, from the perspective of the Shang Dynasty to change the law, Legalist scholarship is very suitable for weak countries in endangered situations, such as Qin and South Korea, Shang Yang and Shen Bu harm is to make Qin and South Korea strong through changing the law.

But after the defeat of the Qin State, people summed up the experience that Legalism is the art of troubled times, and the strong Legalists are adopted in governing the world, and they do not use the idea that the Legalists are equal to the world, but only adopt strict laws for ordinary people, and finally force the people of the world to rebel, and the Great Qin is overthrown, which is the defect of Legalism, and to this day, the meaning of Legalism for the Tang Dynasty is to punish criminals with strict punishment in the Criminal Department, crack down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and target the main spearhead at officials, not the people, this is the Legalist of the Tang Dynasty, what do you think? ”

Li Tai refused quickly this time: "In the end, I am still a prince, there are some things I can do, and some things I can't do, this punishment of officials is what my father should do, not what I do, so I can't learn from the Legalists." ”

Suning nodded: "This is also true, then you look at Taoism, the so-called Taoism, in fact, is pure academic, Confucius also once studied with Lao Tzu, that is, to learn Lao Tzu's academics, to the home can be said to be a very simple academic school, although the art of Taoism is often only applied in the early years of the founding of the country, but the impact is very far-reaching, just with the development of the Tang Dynasty, the significance of Taoism is only in academics, not in government affairs, if you want to return to government affairs again, at least hundreds of years, are you willing to learn?" ”

Li Tai was a little surprised, hundreds of years? Can you see that far? But thinking of Li Er's admiration for Suning, Li Tai felt that Suning would not talk big, and there must be Suning's own reasons here, so in the end, Li Tai still believed Suning's words, so Li Tai refused to learn Taoism: "In this way, there is no difference between me and learning Confucianism, I also like academics, not government affairs." ”

Suning nodded and said, "Very good, then the most reluctant, Confucianism will not talk about it, what about the soldiers, are you interested?" If so, I believe that Your Majesty will not mind sending you to the Military University to study the art of war, get along with the future generals of the Tang Dynasty day and night, experience inhumane training and tempering, become a strong soldier, and sacrifice the last drop of blood for the Tang Dynasty. ”

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Taiyuan's round head, and then he showed an embarrassed smile: "Teacher, if you look at my physique, you will know that I can also achieve some academic achievements, if this is put on the battlefield, well, I don't think my father will let me go to the battlefield, so forget it......

Suning also knew Li Tai's answer, and then said with a smile: "In this way, it seems that there is only the last one left for you to learn, the art of the Mo family." ”

Li Tai frowned and said, "But the world suspects that this is a strange trick, an opportunistic trick, and it is despised by righteous people, doesn't the teacher understand this?" It seems that the teacher admires the art of the Mo family, oh, the teacher is not Confucian, which is reasonable, but now it is still Confucianism and Taoism, and the art of vertical and horizontal is also forgotten, it is not a strange skill, but the Mo family is a strange skill! ”

Suning said very seriously: "Qingque, let me ask you, you have to do something, you can do this thing in two ways, one method can be done in one hour, and the other method can be done in two hours, one method can be done as long as it is very easy, and the other method will make you tired half to death, which one will you choose?" ”

Li Tai opened his mouth to answer, but after all, he was silent, if he chose the first method, it would be contrary to his concept of hating strange tricks and tricks, if you want to say that the second method is really tiring, and it will waste more time, let him be tired and tired to do one thing for two hours, it is better to kill him, so Li Tai fell into silence and entanglement, on the one hand, it is the academic concept. On the one hand, there is self-awareness, this thing, how to choose?

Suning looked at Li Tai's performance and knew what Li Tai was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Are you thinking, on the one hand, you really don't want to waste so much time doing a very tiring thing, but on the other hand, you don't want to ruin your concept with strange tricks, isn't it?" ”

Li Tai's face changed several times and nodded: "That's right, Master." Such. How do I do that? ”

Suning sighed and said: "You have only listened to Confucianism for a long time, preaching that any ingenious art is a strange skill, and anything that helps to save energy is a source of laziness. But to this day. This statement is indeed out of place. They are outdated! As the saying goes, keeping pace with the times can be in line with today's development and what we need today. What you don't need, it's all that matters.

Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is sparsely populated and has a lot of land, if you don't use new farm tools with high efficiency, it is obviously out of place, that will tire the people to death in the fields, and there is no time to do other things, but with farm tools, all this is different, at the earliest, our ancestors cultivated the fields with slash-and-burn farming, low efficiency, and very little production, so there was the birth of the most fertile farm tools, and the farm tools were originally used for what to be created? It's all about saving effort and improving efficiency.

This kind of truth can be accepted in agricultural affairs, so why can't it be accepted in other places? Isn't this a big fallacy? It's like King Qi Xuan can't bear to see the cow killed, so he wants to replace the cow with a sheep to be killed, it's the same reason, the same reason is put in different things, what can't be accepted? The trick of tricks and tricks, to put it simply, is to save energy, improve efficiency, and make people's lives happier, in this case, why not? To hell with those rotten people! What do you think? ”

Li Tai's eyes were glazed, obviously quite shocked by Suning's disrespectful speech, and then fell into contemplation, his heart experienced a fierce battle of thoughts, Suning just sitting, drinking water, and then waiting to see what choice he would make, in fact, Suning also found that as a prince, the son of Li Er's majesty, Li Tai really can't do many things, or he doesn't have to do it, choose to choose, the most suitable for Li Tai is to engage in scientific and technological inventions, etc., in this case, He may be able to live on in another way.

But whether to do it or not, it's all in Li Tai's own thoughts, he is willing, he tries his best to teach, he is unwilling, he has no way, even if he is willing, it depends on whether he can get happiness from it, only if he can get happiness from it, he can get achievements, get great achievements, that's all.

Li Tai finally made Suning breathe a sigh of relief, he agreed to learn the Mojia learning, of course, it was only the Mojia technique, but the premise was that he wanted to see if these so-called tricks could make him feel happy, which coincided with Suning, Suning also felt that if he was not happy to learn, he could not learn, he was a prince, and he would not worry about food or clothing for the rest of his life, as long as he did not rebel.

Mojia tricks, in fact, Suning himself is also half-understood, but those delicate things still belong to the category of carpentry blacksmiths, and the dignified prince and the marquis go to be carpenters and blacksmiths? Isn't it a joke to say it? So Suning plans to transform Li Tai from the level of physics and chemistry, so that he can become a science monster and a science madman, which is the best, anyway, there are still organizational remnants of the Mo family in the world, if you can find them, you still have to worry about not having the Mo family's tricks?

Take physical chemistry to fool Li Tai first, anyway, Mozi's works also have knowledge of physics, which is quite awesome, so awesome that people have to wonder if Mozi is also a traverser, but it's a pity, no one cares about these knowledge after Mozi, I have to say that this is a sadness, so in the end, we have to start from Datang, starting from Suning himself, although he is a liberal arts student, but there is no problem with basic physical chemistry.

Draw a frame for Li Tai and let him swim and learn in it, when he can become his own and pass on himself, Suning's goal will be achieved.

Suning invited Li Tai to go to his own home, to the most important place in his home to see what is called Mojia mechanism, in fact, it is a simple lever principle and pulley block, but it is very labor-saving to use, and the efficiency has been improved a lot, and now after the improvement of skilled craftsmen, the simple pulley block and lever have become a tool that can be quantified and produced, and can be widely used in various construction sites, and even build city walls.

Probably it is also a fate given by God, Li Tai was deeply fascinated by this scene when he saw it for the first time, especially when he saw a big stone that a strong man couldn't lift, but was easily pried into the car by a thin man relying on a lever, he couldn't help but ask Suning what this was for, looking at Li Tai's anxious appearance, Suning smiled proudly, he knew that this matter had been done.
