"Oh! So this is Yanhuang College! You're really creative. You actually shrunk the layout of the college to such a size. It's clear at a glance. Not bad, not bad! "
Li Er wasn't stupid. He could see the function of the sand table model at a glance. He walked to the front of the platform and looked carefully while praising.
"Your Majesty, the scale of this college is so huge. I'm afraid it's almost as big as the Imperial College. There are mountains, rivers, flowers, grass, pavilions, terraces, and pavilions. The disorder is picturesque. It's very beautiful! But why haven't I seen the style of the buildings before? "
Empress Zhangsun also walked over with Li Er. She looked at the exquisite and beautiful Yanhuang College in front of her and sighed.
"Oh! This style is indeed not like the architectural style of my Tang Empire. Li Zexuan, come and tell me and the Empress. "
Li Er nodded and waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I call this big platform a sand table. It's a model of the future Yanhuang College that has been shrunk to a certain scale for people to see. The tall buildings inside are all designed by me with reference to the style of the college in the other world in my dream. As for the layout of the buildings, trees, mountains, and rivers, they are all in accordance with the true meaning of Daoism's Yin-Yang and Five Elements. It can not only ensure that the students have enough space to study, but also allow the students to relax after studying ~! "
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said.
Li Er heard him and asked curiously, "Oh? The world you're talking about also has a college ~? "
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Of course. The reason why the technology in that world is so advanced is inseparable from their perfect education system. The college there is called a school. If a person wants to become a talent, he or she must receive at least 16 years of systematic education ~!"
"16 years ~! There must be a cause for every effect ~! "
Li Er nodded thoughtfully and said, "Let's build it like this! Although these tall buildings look weird, I think they're quite magnificent. They're quite compatible with your engineering! Yan Lide, transfer a group of skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to help build Yanhuang College! "
"This old official obeys ~!"
Yan Lide stepped forward and cupped his hands.
Li Er nodded with satisfaction and turned back to look at the sand table model. This time, he wasn't looking at the buildings, but the mountains, rivers, and trees. At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind, and he suddenly froze in place.
"Your Majesty ~?"
Seeing that Li Er did not speak for a long time and just stared at the sand table, Empress Zhangsun called out softly.
"Li Zexuan, can your sand table simulate the topography of mountains and rivers?"
Li Er turned his head and looked at Li Zexuan with bright eyes.
Li Zexuan stared blankly for a moment before he understood what was going on. He guessed that Li Er had coincidentally discovered the miraculous use of the sand table model in a military formation and thus asked this question. In fact, when he decided to make the sand table, he had already guessed that Li Er should be able to discover the mystery, but he didn't expect Li Er to be so amazing that he could discover it with just a few glances. It could only be said that a person's success might be due to chance, but it was certainly not entirely due to chance. To forge iron, one had to be strong. Li Er's knowledge in the field of military formations was still very impressive.
"Replying to Your Majesty, this sand table can indeed simulate the topography ~! Whether it is hills, plains, or prairies, they can all be made on the sand table. With it, it is equivalent to having a three-dimensional map, which may be of great use for marching and setting up formations ~! "
"Haha ~! Of great use, it is indeed of great use ~! I will record your merit ~! I will ask the supervisor to send a master craftsman to learn the method of making this sand table from you later. You are not allowed to hide anything. I need a terrain sand table of the Liangzhou area ~! "
Li Er laughed loudly.
"Yes ~!"
Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands in obeisance. Of course, he would not hide anything. Of course, he was willing to teach others the physical work of making a military topography sand table for Li Er, because he still had a lot of things to do ~!
"Hmm ~! Let's go back to the palace ~! "
Li Er was satisfied with the results of this trip out of the palace. Not only did he hear some of Li Zexuan's secrets, but he also obtained a military tool like the sand table. Seeing that there was nothing new in the room, Li Er waved his hand "disinterestedly" and prepared to return to the palace.
Empress Zhangsun deliberately fell two steps behind. She walked in front of Li Zexuan and said with a smile, "You and Chengqian are good friends. I will call you Xiaoxuan for the time being!"
"It is my honor that Your Majesty is willing to call me this ~!"
This was the first time Li Zexuan had spoken to Empress Zhangsun at such a close distance. The woman in front of him exuded grace, love, and kindness. It was as if there was a kind of magical power on her body that made people unable to raise their guard against her at all. Instead, they would involuntarily feel a sense of intimacy.
Empress Zhangsun smiled and said, "Among the younger generation of the Tang Empire, I have never seen His Majesty value a person so much. Don't be complacent. The right way is to concentrate on learning and not disappoint His Majesty's high expectations. I know that you intend to carry forward engineering. As the disciple of Spiritual Master Lingxu, this is also a responsibility that you should take up. It just so happens that I have been entrusted by someone to send you a few students. Is that okay ~? "
Li Zexuan sighed in his heart. The students that Zhangsun wanted to send might be the children of the royal family, and none of those princes were easy to get along with. Wasn't Li Tai a super troublemaker in the past? Crazy troublemaker! If Li Zexuan didn't have some skills, he would definitely have been messed up by that little fatty.
But he had to give face to Zhangsun. Li Zexuan could only cup his hands and say, "Since Your Majesty has ordered, I dare not to disobey ~!"
So be it the second generation of the royal family! Logically speaking, Li Er had already given his academy a lot of support. He should also return the favor. At worst, the academy would implement militarized management in the future. He didn't believe that he couldn't kill the prestige of this group of playboys.
"Haha!"
Empress Zhangsun nodded with satisfaction. Then she glanced at Yan Shaoning, who was quietly acting like an obedient child, and said,
"Yan Shaoning, I heard that you haven't paid attention to worldly affairs recently and have been indulging in the way of machinery. Although your spirit is good, you have to understand the painstaking efforts of your father, Minister Yan! You are three years older than Little Xuan, but you haven't settled down yet. How about I see which minister's daughter is suitable in the future and arrange a marriage for you? How about it ~? "
What the hell, Zhangsun didn't like Yan Shaoning, this technical geek, and wanted to introduce him to a wife!
Yan Shaoning hadn't expected that Empress Zhangsun would make such a move at the last moment. He had been silent all this time in order to reduce his presence. Flabbergasted, he said, "Your Majesty, isn't this …"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will remember it in my heart. Unfilial son, quickly thank her!"
Just when Yan Shaoning was about to refuse, Yan Lide hurriedly interrupted him and thanked Empress Zhangsun with cupped hands.
