Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 344 Theory of National Subjugation

The moonlight is like yarn.

Bianjing Tai Chi Palace, a nine-curved pavilion by the West Lake, is full of frogs croaking one after another.

Li Ye raised his glass and had a drink. Next to him were Liu Wei, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Pei Jian, a new scholar in the Hanlin Academy. He was also currently assigned to the Hanlin Academy.

His Majesty the Emperor wanted to build the Hanlin Academy into his secretarial team and think tank, and many political ideas were expressed through the Hanlin Academy.

There are three books on the desk.

Ranked first on the upper left is number theory, which covers the mixed operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It introduces the concepts of decimals and fractions, as well as logarithms, square roots and other concepts. Of course, the concept of functions is the top priority.

The second book is graph theory, which is actually geometry, basic concepts such as triangles, quadrilaterals, angles, straight lines, parallel lines, and perpendiculars.

The third book is analytic geometry, which is more complicated. It connects functions with coordinate axes, and graphics on the coordinate axes can be represented by functions.

The fourth book is Gewu Xue, which mainly covers motion, rest, speed, density, temperature, and several basic concepts of mechanics.

The fifth book is Biology, which mainly puts forward the concept of inheritance in order to provide theoretical support for agricultural breeding. It also proposes the concepts of dominant and recessive inheritance. For example, large earlobes, rolled tongues, and double eyelids are dominant inheritance. No earlobes, no rolled tongue, and single eyelids are recessive inheritance.He also concluded that parents with double recessive symptoms would definitely not be able to give birth to dominant children.

The last one is one that His Majesty the Emperor has not yet decided whether to publish. The content is too sensitive, so the title is Political Commentary.

Li Ye systematically described the various strata of Tang Dynasty society in "Political Commentary", which can also be said to be a new interpretation of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, in which peasants were subdivided into farmers and landlords.

Among them, the landlord class and the gentry class are highly overlapping. The gentry class is also the bureaucratic class. Basically, their families will not be without land, and they have a lot of land.

Of course, the royal family is also included in this level. The Li family of the Tang Dynasty is naturally the largest landowner in the Tang Dynasty.

His Majesty the Emperor clearly concluded in the book that the fundamental contradiction of the dynasty was the contradiction between landlords and peasants.

The demise of the dynasty was basically due to the irreconcilable conflicts between landlords and peasants, which led to the demise of the country.

The reason is very simple. Landlords are powerful and their crazy obsession with land is their essence. However, farmers are unable to resist the exploitation of landlords. Land will become more and more concentrated in the hands of a few people, leaving farmers with no place to stand. At that time, even eating became a luxury, and the world was about to collapse.

His Majesty the Emperor cited the "Snake Catcher's Theory", the Huangchao Rebellion, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Han Dynasty as evidence.

"The most basic meaning of a country's existence is to allow the people to have food to eat and clothing to wear. If even the most basic survival cannot be guaranteed, it is natural for the world to rise up..."

This theory also provided the basis for the imperial court to issue strict restrictions on land annexation.

Li Ye attaches equal importance to both natural science and political science.

In fact, Li Ye doesn't know what will happen to Datang after these six books are released.

Li Ye said to the two of them: "If you understand it or not, just read it. These are all written by me. I don't want to flatter you. I want to publish them all over the world and want to ask your opinions!"

The writing is relatively simple. In fact, His Majesty the Emperor still has a lot of things in his stomach, such as probability and statistics, sequence, and calculus in mathematics. Although he has forgotten a lot, he can still figure out the general ideas, as well as chemistry. , electromagnetism, geography, etc. in physics... The number theory, analytic geometry, physics, and biology that are written now are equivalent to children's enlightenment books, and these are nothing.

But the "Political Commentary" is different. His Majesty the Emperor has revealed his butcher knife in the book, that is, land annexation is the root cause of the country's subjugation. The landlord class is severely attacked by His Majesty the Emperor, and the landlord class and the scholars are seriously overlapping. Obviously , His Majesty the Emperor has come to the opposite side of the scholars.

And what does Li Ye rely on?Naturally, it is the army. The vast majority of the army is civilians. This is why His Majesty the Emperor dares to show this book at this time.

Surprised…amazed…still amazed!
Liu Wei and Pei Jian thought they were very accomplished in mathematics. One of them took a book of number theory, and the other picked up a book of geometry and read through it.

Liu Wei was amazed by the functions in number theory. When he used a binary linear function to solve the historical problem of a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage, the steps were unexpectedly simple.

"Wonderful, wonderful..."

In geometry, a circle can be infinitely divided into a rectangle. When the concept of area was proposed, the size of the land was clearly defined, and the definition of the sum of the interior angles of a triangle was unprecedented.

"Your Majesty and mathematics are already the best in ancient and modern times!"

Looking at analytic geometry again, the two of them can no longer describe it in words. Cartesian coordinate system, three-dimensional coordinate system, polar coordinate system, each is more difficult to understand than the other, and each is infinitely more mysterious than the last. A function can form a straight line, why is the quadratic function? It’s called a parabola, why is a cubic function called a hyperbola?

There is no quartic function in the book, and even if there is, I can't understand it.

The two took a cursory look. Liu Wei picked up the Theory of Biology, and Pei Jian picked up the Theory of Physics.

Not long after, Liu Wei frowned and said to Li Ye: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this biological theory is untrue?"

Li Ye asked: "Where?"

Liu Wei pointed to the content in the book and said: "Your Majesty, I have single eyelids, and my concubine also has single eyelids. According to your majesty's book, I and my concubine both have recessive traits, and my son has double eyelids. This is Doesn’t it say above that double recessive children cannot have children with dominant traits? I think this is untrue!”

Li Ye looked at Liu Wei with a strange look on his face, sighing secretly that for the sake of science, it seemed that he had to break up many wild mandarin ducks.

Pei Jian said: "Zhao Chen is right. I don't have earlobes, and neither does my wife. The three sons and two daughters I gave birth to have no earlobes. At that time, my brother laughed at me. Without earlobes, I am destined to have short blessings." !”

"..."

The servant Zhao Xi also followed the emperor's advice: "My brother also has single eyelids, my sister-in-law also has single eyelids, and my eldest nephew has double eyelids. Originally, my brother was happy. Our Zhao family finally gave birth to a child with big eyes." When he was seven or eight years old, my brother realized something was wrong. Why did our eldest nephew look more and more like the butcher king next door.

The slave brother was so angry that he gave the slave sister-in-law a beating with a stick, and the slave sister-in-law attacked her on the spot. This shameless bitch had already hooked up with Butcher Wang..."

Forehead!Liu Wei's breathing became rapid, and he was embarrassed in front of His Majesty.

Li Ye held back his laughter and said, "Didn't I tell you above that there are also mutations? What I mentioned above is only most of them. Maybe there are accidents..."
