Inside the shed.
It didn't take long for Li Zexuan to finish the food in his bowl. Putting aside the ingredients, the taste of the food was similar to the school cafeteria in his previous life. In this life, although he was more particular about what he ate at home, he wasn't someone who hadn't suffered before. Naturally, he wouldn't find it hard to swallow just because the quality of the food wasn't as good as at home.
At this moment, he was about to clean up the bowls and chopsticks and take them out! However, he saw Li Tai walking in with a young man.
"Hello Boss! I am the vice-captain of the eighth team of the first regiment, Gu Xiaomao. I came from Xinfeng County's Stone Village! "
The young man was probably not even twenty years old. He was very young, and his whole body exuded a quick-wittedness. He had been trembling with fear as he followed behind Li Tai. After entering the shed, he discovered that Li Zexuan was also here. He hurriedly came over and bowed to greet him.
"En! Hello! "
Li Zexuan nodded lightly and looked at Li Tai.
It would be a lie if Li Zexuan said that he was not surprised that Gu Xiaomao had become a vice-captain at such a young age. However, a hero's background was not important. Li Zexuan did not question or look down on Gu Xiaomao because of this. Li Zexuan believed that Yan Shaoning had his reasons for promoting a young man like this.
His main target was still Li Tai.
The little fatty's face was expressionless. No one could tell what he was thinking. He walked over to the table where he had his meal just now and shouted at Gu Xiaomao, "Gu Xiaomao, come over here!"
"Hey ~! Coming! "
Gu Xiaomao responded and hurriedly ran over.
"Here, all the meat is for you. Bring your bowl over!"
Li Tai raised his bowl and pouted his lips as he said.
"Ah ~?"
Gu Xiaomao was dumbfounded. He never thought that Li Tai would call him over for this.
"What's wrong ~? This King … I have never touched this food before. Why are you complaining about it? "
Li Tai stared at him and was about to throw a tantrum.
"No no no!"
Gu Xiaomao almost peed his pants when he heard that. He hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, this lowly one wouldn't dare to dislike it. It's just that this lowly one doesn't dare to eat Your Highness' food!"
"What His Highness? Gu Xiaomao, let me tell you one more time. In these two months, there is no Highness on Cloud Mountain, only Captain Li. Please call me Captain Li in the future, do you hear me? "
Li Tai frowned and scolded.
Looking at his serious face, Li Zexuan almost burst out laughing. "Please call me Captain Li." This sentence was too f * cking out of character.
However, this was not the right time. Li Zexuan could only hold back his laughter and watch how Li Tai would play.
"Eh! Yes, yes, yes, Captain Li, Xiao Mao understands! "
Gu Xiaomao touched the beads of sweat on his forehead. This was not sweat from the heat, but cold sweat from fear!
Only the heavens knew how painful it was to be the vice-captain of a prince. Anyway, Gu Xiaomao was under a lot of pressure!
"Then why aren't you bringing your bowl over!"
"Oh, oh! Thank you, Captain Li! "
Although Gu Xiaomao was very greedy for those fat slices of meat, he still wanted to see who gave them to him! Looking at the pile of fat slices in his bowl, Gu Xiaomao was very anxious.
"Alright! Hurry up and eat outside! You still have work to do in the afternoon! "
Li Tai put all the fat slices into Gu Xiaomao's bowl and waved his hand to chase him away.
"Yes, Captain!"
Gu Xiaomao felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly ran away with his bowl.
In an instant, only Li Zexuan and Li Tai were left in the shed.
Li Tai sat down and finished the food in his bowl. He did not even frown. He was a completely different person from the person who was having a hard time eating.
Seeing this, Li Zexuan knew that Li Tai had thought things through. The reason why Li Tai was still unwilling to talk to him was probably because he couldn't bring himself to do so. After all, his words just now were indeed a bit harsh. It was already good enough that Li Tai, who had always lived like a prince, didn't use a sword to cut him down.
Thinking of this, Li Zexuan smiled. He did not say anything to provoke the little fatty. He took his cutlery and prepared to leave.
"Sir!"
At this moment, Li Zexuan, who had not spoken to Li Tai since he came in, suddenly spoke.
Li Zexuan was startled. In private situations, Li Tai rarely called him mister. Usually, he would use the name between friends. Now, he was calling him that. What was the little fatty trying to say?
"Sir, can engineering allow the people of the world to wear new clothes and eat meat?"
Seeing that Li Zexuan paused, Li Tai continued to ask.
Li Zexuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Of course not!"
When Li Tai heard this, his brows furrowed into a ball. His eyes stared fixedly at Li Zexuan's back, wanting an explanation.
"Engineering is just a kind of knowledge, just like Confucianism. It's just a dead thing! For the people of the world to have enough food and clothing and for every family to be able to eat meat, the key is how the ruler acts! Although Emperor Qin and Emperor Hanwu were the Divine Lords of the world, they only managed to pacify the world so that the country would not be bullied by foreigners. The people of the country still did not have enough food and clothing.
Compared to Confucianism, engineering has its unique characteristics. It is more like a tool, a tool to increase the productivity of the people. As for whether this tool can be fully utilized, it depends on whether the ruler is willing to use it! Fortunately, the current emperor was magnanimous and was willing to give engineering a chance to flourish! Then, the result might be different!
So, Qingque, if the young people of Tang can all wield the sharp blade of engineering, although I don't dare to say that 100% of the people of Tang can have enough food and clothing, I'm sure that 80% to 90% of the people of Tang can have enough food and clothing! At that time, we will truly usher in an unprecedented golden age! "
Li Zexuan knew that Li Tai would have doubts in his heart. He put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice.
In the modern era, even a country as great as America still had beggars. Thus, Li Zexuan did not dare to guarantee that 100% of the people of Tang could have enough food and clothing once the industrial production level of Tang improved. However, he could still guarantee that most people would have enough food and clothing.
"Tai understands! I'm willing to work with Sir to bring engineering to greater heights! "
Li Tai gave a disciple's salute and cupped his fists in a serious manner.
"Haha! Good! I hope that when Yanhuang College leads the people of Tang to have enough food and clothing, there will be a great achievement in it! "
Li Zexuan waved his hand with a smile and went out the door!
Li Zexuan was very happy that Li Tai could walk out of his inner demons and comprehend such principles. In the end, he still valued Li Tai very much. If it were someone else, he would not have put in so much effort. ,
"Hehe! I, Li Tai, don't need great achievements. I just want to live happily! "
Li Tai looked at the door and mumbled to himself.
