People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 143 Why Did You Lose?

Liu Bowen found that it was difficult for him to have a good impression of the boy in front of him.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Ji was furious.

However, Liu Ji's face changed slightly, and he just asked lightly:
"How do you know that the old man lost? Didn't the old man come here today to settle accounts with you?"

Zhang Yi laughed:
"You Master Liu are such an arrogant person, if you really win, if you look up at me more, I will lose!
Since you are here today, Xiaodao must have won! "

"you……"

Liu Ji found that even if he wanted to fool the kid in front of him, it would be very difficult to fool him.

He took a deep look at Zhang Yi, as if he wanted to keep him firmly in his heart.

Finally, Liu Ji turned around.

His pride does not allow him to swear with a yellow-mouthed kid here.

It's just that he hasn't left yet, but Zhang Yi said:
"My lord, why don't you come in for a cup of tea?"

Kong Na and Deng Zhongxiu finally looked forward to Liu Bowen's departure, but Zhang Yi's words startled them.

Kong Na stared at Zhang Yi with reproachful eyes, blaming him for making troubles.

Zhang Yixiao:
"You don't even look at who Mr. Liu is, since he has already figured out what's going on inside, won't he be unable to guess?
Our Lord Liu is pretending to be stupid!

Even if he can't guess it now, when he looks it up later, he should be able to guess it.

He is the imperial censor Zhongcheng!

Isn't that right, Master Liu? "

Liu Bowen turned around and stared at Zhang Yi.

He didn't say whether Zhang Yi had guessed right, but said:
"interesting!"

It was the first time that Liu Bowen had a strong interest in Zhang Yi, and when he fought against the boy, he actually had a vague feeling of meeting his opponent.

"I just want to ask about the future, so there is a Taoist priest!"

Liu Bowen flicked his sleeves, turned around, and walked towards the backyard.

Zhang Yi smiled and followed.

The two of them walked gracefully, Kong Na and Deng Zhongxiu looked confused.

Especially Kong Na, he was very helpless. With these people, Kong Na always felt that his brain was not enough.

"Wait for me!"

Seeing that the two had disappeared, Kong Na quickly chased after them.

Deng Zhongxiu put away his admiring gaze, turned around and made tea.

"The old man misjudged you!"

Entering the backyard of the Taoist temple, Liu Bowen said something abruptly, in a contemptuous tone.

Zhang Yi was stunned:

"Old man, what did you think of the poor?"

Liu Bowen pointed to the backyard and said:

"The old man has been walking all the way, seeing that the concept of pure heart is quite dilapidated, I thought you can keep your heart, and you are a seed of cultivation!
Although Taoist sect is a sect, there are also high-ranking scholars. If you really practice Taoism, this old man will treat you differently!
Just looking at your backyard, although it looks ordinary, it actually cost a lot of money, right? "

Zhang has a different qi, and the old man came here to find fault, right?
"Then what do you think Taoist priests should do?"

Zhang Yi responded to Liu Bowen with squinting eyes and a provocative tone.

Liu Bowen said:

"Concentrate on cultivating the Tao, prove the Tao and become immortal!"

"What about after becoming a fairy?"

"Nature is at ease..."

"Tch, I'm quite at ease now, doesn't that mean I've become a fairy too?
People can't do well, so what kind of fairy do you ask for?

People live comfortably, feel comfortable, feel comfortable, and have a clear mind!

Once the Dao heart is connected, where is it not a fairyland?

Mr. Liu, you are confused!

It is better to live in the present than to practice bitterly for a hundred years to become an immortal!
Seeking immortals is just trying to be at ease,

This is called avoiding a hundred years of detours and achieving the goal in one step, do you understand? "

Zhang Yi educated Liu Bowen in a serious manner, and Liu Bowen was very angry with his perverted ways.

Without morals, anything is possible.

This guy can even distort the highest ideals of Taoist priests. With his mouth, if he lives in the late Yuan Dynasty, he will be a demagogic rebel leader.

He knew that Zhang Yi couldn't be satirized, and he didn't care.

"Then why don't you take the old man to see your [Wonderland on Earth]?"

"What do you want to see, feel free..."

Liu Bowen deliberately did not mention Kong Kejian, and Zhang Yi also pretended that this incident never happened.

Two foxes, one old and one young, are full of gunpowder when they meet.

Kong Na, who was chasing him, hid aside and shivered. He didn't understand why Zhang Yi wasn't afraid of Liu Bowen?

That's Yushi Zhongcheng!

Yushitai supervises all officials and has great power. Liu Bowen is Yushi Zhongcheng and is Yushitai's adjutant.
It's just that according to the practice after the Tang Dynasty, most of the chief officials of Yushitai, Doctor Yushi, were empty-handed and didn't care much about Yushitai's affairs. '

So Liu Bowen is the actual controller of Yushitai.

If he just made a small report to the emperor, Zhang Yi would be overwhelmed. Why is that treacherous little Taoist so stubborn today?

But Kong Na couldn't figure it out, that is to say, he saw through Liu Bowen's personality, so Zhang Yi spoke to Liu Bowen in this tone.

For Liu Bowen, pride is his background.

It is precisely because of this pride that when you get along with him, you either put yourself so humble that he doesn't bother to look at you.

Either you let him look at you high, arouse his competitive psychology, and make him disdain to use other means to deal with you.

Lao Liu's posture like a bullfight is actually the safest state.

Let him leave the Taoist temple like just now, maybe this old boy will give a book to the palace.

Although his dream of keeping a low profile has been gradually shattered, Zhang Yi still wants to struggle.

Liu Bowen pointed to a tall object and said:
"what is that?"

"The water tower is used to flush the toilet..."

"toilet?"

Liu Bowen is interested, this little Taoist is a bit interesting.

He first walked to the thing called the water tower. The water tower in Zhang Yi's Taoist temple was a relatively high platform first built by someone.

He didn't get the cement out, so the container on the water tower was a giant wooden barrel.

Liu Bowen felt that the quality of life of this product is really good, and then he observed that there is a well under the high platform, and there is a strange device beside the well,

"Is this the device that brings the water up?"

Liu Bowen instantly forgot the grievances between the two, squatting at the mouth of the well and looking around curiously.

Zhang Yi pulled the device, and the water was poured into the wooden barrel above from the wellhead along the water pipe.
"This is a double-acting reciprocating pump, the principle is to use the impeller and piston..."

Kong Na looked at Liu Bowen and Zhang Yi in bewilderment. These two people, the young one was like an old fox, and the old one was like a child, they squatted at the mouth of the well to study that strange device.

The enmity between the two seems to have vanished!

"After going up to the water, and coming down from here, I use a bronze pipe. In fact, if you want to save money, you can also use bamboo, but you have to change it often..."

The two moved from the mouth of the well to the toilet, and squatted on the toilet to study carefully.

"Where did the water go?"

"It's sucked down here with water pressure, and it goes into the septic tank!

Let me draw a picture of the principle of septic tank, Na Ne, go find me a pen and paper! "

Liu Bowen and Zhang Yi are like confidants, and they have already chatted passionately.

Kong Na was also sent by Zhang Yi to get a pen and paper to draw pictures for Zhang Yi.

"This septic tank can also extract fertilizers, yes... the old man thought you were so reckless, I must ask His Majesty to join you..."

"You and the old guy are too ruthless, can this also participate in me?"

After Zhang Yi finished drawing Liu Bowen, he gave him an annoyed look.

Anyone's "friendship" is very strange, he and this old guy were still fighting each other just now.

Although the two didn't want to admit it at this time, their hostility towards each other was much less.

This set of running water + toilet + septic tank is indispensable.

"Excrement and urine are fertilizers and the foundation of agriculture. If everyone in the world learns from you to build this toilet, wouldn't it delay farming? As a Taoist priest, but he is so greedy for pleasure, if I don't participate, who do you participate in?"

As Liu Bowen's curiosity receded, the hatred between the two began to rise again.

Zhang Yi said angrily:

"But you ignore the hygiene it brings, have you read "Wei Yan Lu"?"

Liu Bowen nodded.

"Then you should know that the food about dealing with bacteria is nothing more than keeping the environment dry and hygienic... I have no way to convince the emperor of the sewer system. If I want to transform it, I will definitely dig the sewers in Yingtian Mansion...

With just such a small change, countless people can live. You only look at the little fertilizer in front of you, but it is too narrow! "

Zhang Yi has long complained about the hygienic environment in Tianfu.

The environment in ancient times is not comparable to the TV series in the previous life. The Yingtian Street in the TV series is hardened and paved with bricks or stones.

But how can there be such treatment in the official ancient times?
Except for a few roads that are hardened, most of the roads are covered with flying loess.

This is true even if it is the main road leading into and out of the city.

Usually the dust is flying around, but if it is a rainy day, the muddy road and the excrement of livestock on the road will be mixed together, it will not be too sour.

If there is a heavy rain, the lower dwellings will also enjoy the baptism of the rain.

As a modern person, Zhang Yi can get used to many things, but he has long complained about the sanitation environment in ancient times.

This is probably why he doesn't like to go out.

It's a pity that he also understands that as an ancient man, Liu Bowen has never seen the prosperity of later generations, and he cannot understand his complaints.

No matter how much you say, it just makes people feel hypocritical.

"Humph!"

The boat of friendship between the two turned over as soon as it was said, and they returned to the state of disobeying the other.

"The city you imagined is flashy, it should only exist in the sky..."

"Then how do you know that I'm not a heavenly being?"

Zhang Yi's arrogant words made Liu Bowen look sideways.

He has seen almost all the things that should be seen in this yard.

Liu Bowen looked around, and finally walked directly to Zhang Yi's room.

Pushing open the door, Kong Kejian was sleeping peacefully on Zhang Yi's bed. Liu Bowen looked at Kong Kejian's situation and remained silent.

"Aren't you going to explain?"

"Is there anything to explain, in fact, with Master Liu's wisdom, even if you don't explain it, you can guess it pretty well!"

Zhang Yi's lack of cooperation made Liu Bowen's eyes fall on Kong Na.

Kong Na didn't have Zhang Yi's backbone, and he confessed honestly the first time Liu Bowen saw him.

"My grandpa has a problem, and the students are desperate. I just want to ask my classmates to help me!"

"The Master said: The righteousness of serving the people is to respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance. This can be said to be known. Although the sages of Confucius did not deny the theory of ghosts and gods, a gentleman should not put his emphasis on ghosts and gods. Great?
Ghosts and gods are misty, although they are high above, they have never affected the general trend of this world..."

Liu Bowen also had to make a long speech to teach Kong Na a lesson.

Zhang Yi couldn't see it, and rolled his eyes:
"You old man kept beeping before you figured it out, who said that Yan Shenggong's visit to me must be related to ghosts and gods?

His illness is heart disease, can I treat him? "

Kong Na immediately showed gratitude on his face, thanking Zhang Yi for exonerating him.

If the matter of Yan Shenggong is classified as ghosts and gods such as summoning souls, it will be a slight stain on the Kong family, but if it is used to treat diseases, at least it can be justified on the surface.

"Where are there so many things about ghosts and ghosts, Mr. Yansheng is suffering from a heart disease, and the poor are just reassuring him!

Pindao didn't do anything, it was to let him find a quiet place where he could sleep at ease! "

Can sleep make people sleep well?

Liu Bowen didn't believe it, but he also gave Zhang Yi a high look.

The Zhang family and the Kong family should have disliked each other, but Kong Na and him forged a friendship inexplicably.

At last, this guy's character is pretty good, and he didn't live up to Kong Na's trust.

He turned his head and looked at Gong Kejian Yansheng in front of him again. The old man was sleeping very peacefully.

Liu Bowen also believed it. Perhaps Zhang Yi let him sleep peacefully, which was the best healing for him.

After all, the mansion built by His Majesty himself is probably the most terrifying prison for Kong Kejian.

"Not bad!"

Liu Bowen indicated with his own attitude that he accepted Zhang Yi's explanation.

"Master Liu, Junior Brother, Young Master Kong, let's drink some tea!"

Deng Zhongxiu stood outside for a long time, and finally waited for the verbal confrontation in the yard to come to an end before bringing the tea over.

Liu Ji glanced at Zhang Yi, and went to sit down at the stone table in the yard.

He still has the heart to drink tea, and does not regard himself as an outsider at all.

Zhang Yi couldn't figure out why this old guy came here?
He walked over and poured himself a cup of tea, but the bitterness of the tea soon made Zhang Yi frown.

With his appearance, Liu Bowen saw a trace of immaturity that belongs only to a boy, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes, this old guy said it was fine if he had something to do.

"You are right, I bet with you, the old man lost..."

Liu Bowen said this when Zhang Yi was unprepared.

Zhang Yi: ...

He tentatively asked:

"You have found so many reasons before, and you are suppressing and finding fault again. Do you want to find a less embarrassing opportunity to say these things?"

Liu Bowen: ...

His head also started to hurt. Talking to such a smart kid is really not a good experience.

"The old man just can't figure it out, why are you so sure that I will lose?

Are you sure that I will get angry and lose to you in the end because of looking in the wrong direction? "

This is the question that Liu Bowen couldn't figure out, and he came here to ask this question clearly.

Liu Ji is a very smart person, from the moment he lost, he knew where Zhang Yi's confidence came from.

He was too obsessed with showing off his skills, and compiled all kinds of math problems that he thought were good in his textbooks. In fact, when he thought about it carefully, he had this kind of anger since he was angry and bet with Zhang Yi.

So when he was in Yushufang, he simply surrendered, because it was true that his skills were not as good as others.

But being seen through by others is very difficult for a person who is famous for his schemes, so Liu Ji approached Zhang Yi and asked him to understand.

Zhang Yi: ...

He can't say that it's because he admired the old man in front of him in his previous life, so he paid more attention and researched more,
Then, according to the image in history, boldly analyze this old man, right?

People, self-knowledge is the hardest!
Whether it is the first emperor, Li Shimin, or the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace, or the sincere uncle Liu Ji who was deified in the history of the wild,

It's all so!

However, it is relatively objective to get an impression of a person from the history books of later generations.

If you meet him in "reality", it's not too difficult to guess his behavior pattern.

But Zhang Yi definitely couldn't say anything about it, so he curled his lips:
"Is this difficult? The most common problem for people like you is probably the word pride. You looked down on me, and I provoked you again.

Human instinct will make you instinctively want to suppress me!
If I were an opponent worthy of your attention, you will probably find that your anger affects your decision-making when you introspect later. For example, if you face Li Shanchang, you probably won’t make this mistake!

But in the final analysis, it is because you look down on me, so you will not reflect on me as a small person.

You don't think it is so difficult to beat me, so naturally you don't put your heart into that textbook! "

Zhang Yi's words were exchanged for Liu Bowen's silence.

The truth was no different from what he had guessed.

He and Zhang Yi each contributed a copy of a textbook related to thousands of students in the future.

He chose the high-rise building, while Zhang Yi chose the lower Liba people, step by step. '

Given his status and relationship, Song Lian and others would not choose the textbooks of this little Taoist priest if his textbooks were slightly different.

The reason why Zhang Yi wins is precisely because of his sincerity.

Zhang Yi chose a completely different path from Liu Ji. He broke and smashed the complicated things in mathematics,

Then, in a seemingly stupid way, from children, to teenagers, to adults, what to learn and what to master at each stage

Bit by bit, it is passed on to the students tirelessly.

Twelve books, three stages of life, and twelve grades.

This is a set of teaching materials that can truly affect the future and benefit students!

This is why he lost for no apparent reason.

"This time Liu was convinced to lose!
Although I still have some dissatisfaction in my heart, since Liu is careless, then I am willing to bet and admit defeat!

You and I have not made a bet, but Liu is not a stingy person. If you have any request, as long as it does not violate the conscience of heaven and earth, I can help you do it!
But before that! "

Liu Bowen stood up, solemnly, and saluted Zhang Yi.

"The old man apologizes for his words that day!"

Kong Na and Deng Zhongxiu who were peeking from the side were all dumbfounded.

Master Liu came here to apologize to Zhang Yi?

Kong Na looked at Zhang Yi with a look of admiration, that was Liu Zhongcheng, and his classmate was too good.

Seeing Liu Bowen's actions like this, Zhang Yi was taken aback, but he laughed.

Liu Ji, Daming's future sincerity uncle, is still an upright person after all.

But he didn't pretend to get up and return the gift, but accepted Liu Bowen's gift for life.

This gift is not for Zhang Yi.

It's the Dragon and Tiger Mountain behind him, or the Taoist Gate of the World!
"Master Liu, please allow the boy to correct one point of your opinion!"

Zhang Yi waited for Liu Bowen to finish his salute before jumping up to return the salute:
"That is, even if you don't underestimate the enemy, you will lose this competition!"
