"We know that you sometimes like to deliberately hide your abilities, and you still have many skills that you haven't used!"
Hearing Li Zexuan's sincere praise, Li Er didn't show any joy on his face. He looked at Li Zexuan for a long time, and Li Zexuan thought that there were flowers on his face. Finally, Li Er opened his mouth and continued:
"Therefore, We want to tell you today, don't be afraid of the slightest thing, and don't be afraid of making too many contributions and arousing our suspicions. Kid, don't worry and do it boldly. Whatever abilities you have, use them all! As long as you can make contributions, We will dare to reward you! With We here, no one can steal your contributions, and there is no such thing as a high merit shocking the Emperor! We can tolerate millions of people in Tang, so why can't we tolerate you? "
"Our goal is to surpass the Qin Emperor and Emperor Wu of Han, and achieve unparalleled hegemony. We hope that our subjects can each do their best, and not all of them only care about their own interests and be afraid of the slightest thing! Kid, do you understand? "
Li Er once again showed Li Zexuan his broad-mindedness and ambition. After hearing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but admire Li Er's foresight. He was indeed a little afraid of the slightest thing, and he deliberately hid his abilities. He was afraid that the fruits of his hard work would be taken away by others, so he didn't seriously promote the road of commercialization of the telegraph machine.
Although there were technical difficulties, those were all excuses. In the end, he didn't have the motivation to solve them.
"Your Majesty is wise! This subject believes that under Your Majesty's governance, Tang will become more prosperous and prosperous, far surpassing any previous dynasty! "
Li Zexuan solemnly cupped his hands and said.
"Ha ~!"
Li Er shook his head, dissatisfied. He said: "We have said so much, what do you think?"
Li Zexuan knew that he couldn't fool around anymore. He suddenly remembered that Li Er had called him over today to criticize him for his malicious revenge against Cui Shanyou and the others! But now, the topic had been infinitely diverted …
Li Zexuan couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for Cui Shanyou and the others …
"Your humble subject admires Your Majesty's great ambition. Many of the things that I have done were not for the Emperor's rewards. For example, the curved plough. At that time, I only did it to help my family. At the beginning, I did not think of using it to benefit the people, much less to obtain rewards through it. However, the Emperor was fair in his rewards and punishments. In a few short months, I went from a commoner to a fifth-level official in the Imperial College. I even received a hereditary title. In just a few months, I have walked the path that many people have walked for their entire lives. "
"This subject thought that the higher the rank of an official and the higher the rank of nobility, the happier this subject would be! But that's not the case! "
"Ever since I was promoted to the Imperial College, I have been working hard every day for the students' studies. Even so, I was still jointly impeached by Professor Cui and the others. The three crimes that the eight professors accused me of are still vivid in my mind. The conversation I had with Chancellor Kong this morning also made me feel extremely disappointed! "
"I have followed my master in the mountains for eight years. Apart from martial arts, I have only learned thirty percent of my master's knowledge. Even so, it is enough for me to benefit for the rest of my life. When I first joined the Imperial College, I only wanted to spread one of the pieces of knowledge that I had learned from my master — the new type of mathematics. I didn't expect to be impeached so soon after I was promoted to the Imperial College's official position. "
"Therefore, I only want to leave behind a spark of my master's wisdom in the world. I don't want to participate in the fight for fame and profit and intrigue! I don't want the position of the Imperial College's official! "
Hearing this, Li Zexuan remembered that he had called Li Zexuan over today to fight for justice for Cui Shanyou and the others. He didn't expect that the topic would be so far away. Apart from embarrassment, he was more angry in his heart. Did he say so much to Li Zexuan just now for nothing?
"Bastard! Just a few impeachments and you want to resign and go home? Look at how useless you are! If Priest Spirit Void was still alive, he would definitely be ashamed of you! How could he accomplish great things if he was timid and cowardly when he had the ability to do so? We have said so much to you just now. Didn't you listen at all? "
"Besides, we haven't reached a conclusion on the three crimes that Cui Shanyou impeached you for. What are you so anxious for? Do you think we have wronged you? "
Li Zexuan slapped the dragon table and berated angrily.
"Your Majesty misunderstands! The reason why I resigned from the Imperial College's official position is that I want to focus on cultivating a group of 'engineering' talents in the future and pass down all the knowledge that I have learned from my master. Being in a high position will only cause me to be immersed in the vortex of power and intrigue with others, unable to extricate myself. I have wasted my good years for nothing! "
Li Zexuan calmly cupped his hands and replied.
Although his heart had turned cold toward Kong Yingda, he had never given up on spreading modern science to the children of the Great Tang and creating interesting modern products. His dream was to be able to enjoy the convenience that modern technology brought to his life in the Great Tang. It would be best if he could stay at home and chat online or play games. Of course, this was rather far away and could only be dreamed about.
"What is' engineering '?"
Li Zexuan sternly asked.
"Your Majesty, this child has learned mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, electricity, electromagnetism, and so on from my master. This subject calls all of this knowledge engineering! This lowly subject wishes to leave the Imperial College for another important reason. Other than mathematics, the Imperial College does not have any corresponding subjects. Moreover, in the eyes of some of the great Confucians, these subjects will definitely be classified as miscellaneous studies.
"This subject will not judge which is superior between miscellaneous studies and Confucianism, and this subject does not wish to instigate a war between the schools. Three years from now, the outcome will naturally become clear! Thus, this subject wishes to distance himself from this whirlpool and focus on his studies. I wish to carry forward my master's engineering and comfort his soul in heaven! "
Li Zexuan solemnly replied.
Li Zexuan's expression relaxed. He nodded and asked.
"What is the use of this engineering you speak of?"
Li Zexuan thought for a moment before replying.
"Your Majesty, engineering, engineering, is actually the study of engineering. As the saying goes, 'to do a good job, a worker must first sharpen his tools.' Engineering is a whetstone. With it, we will be able to do things more efficiently. Just like the curved plow that this subject built, with it, the farmers can plow the land more quickly and with less effort.
"This subject believes that in less than three years, this subject will be able to train this group of engineering talents and bring about a world-shaking transformation to our Great Tang. At that time, there will be even faster transportation than carriages. We might be able to travel from Chang 'an to Luoyang and back in a single day! There will be even faster ways to send messages, and sending messages across a thousand li will no longer be a dream! There would be even sharper weapons and tougher armors! And so on and so forth. "
