(The picture shows Tang Ruowang)

The first year of Chongzhen.

February 23.

Nothing happened in the early court. After the Jingyan incident, the officials' impression of the emperor changed drastically. They expressed their incomprehension, fear and hope that the emperor's practice of "royal scandal" would explode at every turn.A courtier who meddles in these things will definitely end badly.

The morning ended in strange circumstances.

Back in **, Yang Reform said to Wang Chengen: "Big Companion, I remember that there was Li Zubai in the Qin Tianjian last time. He is a talent. Let him come to see me. I will discuss mathematics with him." Yang Reform suddenly Thinking of Li Zubai, the talent he discovered last time in the morning court, he is good at arithmetic.Yang Reform decided to include it in his talent plan.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will send someone to announce it." Wang Chengen agreed.

Li Zubai had mixed joys and sorrows at home. He waited hard for several days at home, just like a writer from Qidian waiting for A sign and waiting for Sanjiang.The joy is that the emperor has a very good impression of him, and he is ready to promote him. Unfortunately, he is in the Qin Tianjian, and it is very difficult to transfer to other departments. It is very difficult, and the worry is here.I've been thinking all day why the emperor hasn't summoned me yet!I have been thinking about the emperor summoning me all day long, what should I prepare for the emperor, so that the emperor will find it novel, and if I can impress the emperor, my future will be bright. no?It can still be upgraded.

Today, Li Zubai finally got his lucky star, a little eunuch.

"This is Li Zubai, Lord Li's home?" the little eunuch asked.It seemed that Li Zubai still respected Li Zubai in his words.

Li Zubai's disciples were very surprised, and replied: "Exactly, if you dare to ask this father-in-law, you are looking for my master."

"Quickly ask your Master Li to come out, Your Majesty will announce him into the palace." The little eunuch called.

"Master, master, someone is coming from the palace, and it is said that Master Xuan has entered the palace...Master..." This doorman rushed to report to his master. The master is going to be prosperous, and only the servant will have face. Followed by enjoyment, the ancient society is a typical "one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven".

After a while, Li Zubai came out.He opened the middle door, greeted him with a big gift, and said to the little eunuch, "Elder-in-law, please sit inside, it's not too late to have a cup of tea."

The little eunuch smiled and said in a sharp voice: "Congratulations to Master Li, congratulations to Master Li, don't bother, His Majesty is waiting in the palace, Master Li should follow our house to see His Majesty quickly, our family can't keep the emperor waiting for a long time It is." The little eunuch is also very direct, the emperor is the biggest, and the emperor's affairs should be handled first, as for drinking tea at your house, is the emperor's affairs important?

"Your Majesty obeys. Please wait a moment, Eunuch. I will change my clothes and come quickly with some things. Please sit in the hall for a while." Li Zubai was not an idiot either. Go get your own "things", prepare to bring in novelty objects dedicated to the emperor, and let the little father-in-law wait at home.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, Mr. Li, go and come back quickly, our family will wait here." The little eunuch took the silver letter with a smile, weighed it, and stuffed it into his sleeve.

After a while, Li Zubai went straight to the palace with the little eunuch.

……

In Wenyuan Pavilion.Although it is spring, the fire is still burning vigorously, and the room is warm.

"My minister Li Zubai kowtowed to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Li Zubai bowed his head to Yang Reform seriously.

"Get up. Li Zubai, I have a deep impression on you! Give me a seat." Looking at such a talented person, Yang Reform felt very happy.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty, I dare not be a lowly minister." Li Zubai was very humble.

"Well, tell me what you have learned about mathematics, or what superb insights you have." Yang Reform plans to discuss this aspect of mathematics with Li Zubai. Mathematics is the source of all science and technology!Without this mathematics, everything else is scum!
"My Majesty, I don't dare to say how knowledgeable I am in mathematics. It's just a lot of calculations. Practice makes perfect." Li Zubai is very modest: "If you really say that you have great knowledge and achievements, you have to count Xu Zixian, Xu Shaobao."

"Is Li Aiqing talking about Xu Guangqi?"

"Return to Your Majesty, yes, I am talking about Xu Shaobao. Xu Shaobao has great vision and great achievements in mathematics. I dare not claim to have made achievements."

"I know Xu Guangqi. I have already called him back to Beijing. I guess he has just received my imperial decree. After a while, Li Aiqing will be able to meet Xu Guangqi. At that time, I can talk to Xu Aiqing to learn more about skills." Of course Yang Reform would not Let go of Xu Guangqi, a great man in the late Ming Dynasty, a man who is a scientist, an agronomist, a Jinshi, a Christian, a mathematician, a military strategist, and a weapons expert. Yang Reform intends to use him as a living signboard.Use it well.

As he spoke, Yang Reform himself fell into deep thought.Let Li Zubai sit there awkwardly alone, at a loss.

……

After being speechless for a while, Li Zubai plucked up his courage, and said: "His Majesty, I have a wonderful book to present to Your Majesty today."

Yang Reform came to his senses, and asked curiously: "A strange book? What kind of strange book?" Yang Reform thought to himself, could it be something like "health preservation", remembering that in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were many people who gave money to the emperor. Offering this kind of "stuff", if this is the case, then I think I missed it.

"Please read, Your Majesty, this is the book." Li Zubai raised a thread-bound book above his head, and respectfully "presented" it to the emperor.

Wang Chengen went over to take the book and placed it in front of Yang Reform.

"Telescope Talk"! ! !There was a huge wave in Yang Reform's heart instantly.I have been making glass, preparing mirrors, and making telescopes to make money, and now I have a copy of "Talks About Telescopes" in front of me.Yang Reform has only one feeling, and that is collapse.

After a while, Yang Reform picked up "Theory of Yuanjing", flipped through it, and asked, "Li Aiqing, who wrote your book and what are you talking about?" Yang Reform was going to ask carefully.

"Your Majesty, this book is about observing the moon with a man-made telescope in the kingdom of Taixi. It also introduces how to make a telescope. I think this mirror is used on the battlefield..." Li Zubai found that the emperor seemed very interested in this book Interested, the emperor seemed to be shocked by this book. He gained confidence that this book could impress the emperor, and began to boldly "sell" his own book.

Rumble! !This time Yang Reform completely collapsed.Telescope, astronomical telescope, what's wrong with this world.Why are telescopes appearing in the world now, and they are still astronomical.Also observe the moon.According to the speed of communication between the East and the West, books have been spread to the East, so hasn’t the West been using them for many years?
Yang Reform felt that his blood pressure was at least over 300, and his heart was beating wildly.This news is really shocking.I was planning to climb the technological tree in the Ming Dynasty, but many of them had already appeared in the West.It seems that the introduction of technology from the West is urgent.I really am a noob and an otaku.

"Li Aiqing, who wrote this book?" Yang Reform couldn't wait.

"Your Majesty, this book was co-written by Weichen and Tang Ruowang. Of course, Tang Ruowang is the main writer, and Weichen is just helping to translate it." Li Zubai noticed that the emperor had such a crazy expression on this book, and immediately knew I bet right this time.The emperor had a "special" hobby for these "novelty" things.Just like other people in Lao Zhu's family, some love carpentry, some love to play, and some don't like court and so on.

Rumble! !Another thunder rang in Yang Reform's ears, Tang Ruowang, is this awesome character also in my era?It seems that he also appeared in the Qing Dynasty, and he is also a very awesome character. He has also been seen in many braid scenes. Yang Reform's heart rate and blood pressure accelerated to almost 400 this time.

"Tang Ruowang? Westerner?" Yang Reform could not help shouting out.

"Return to Your Majesty, yes, Tang Ruowang is from Taixi, which is what His Majesty called a Westerner." Li Zubai was very excited, he was a fool, now he should see how much the emperor likes these things.

"Well, I'm very curious about this person. Does Li Aiqing know where this person is now? I can't wait to see him right away." Yang Reform is too late to meet him!Such an awesome character, if I don't get him under my command, I'm really sorry for traveling this time.Will be struck by lightning.

Li Zubai was very excited, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Tang Ruowang is now in Xi'an Mansion." The emperor only read the title of the book, flipped through the book, and it was obvious that the emperor admired Tang Ruowang so much. It is these "novelty" gadgets, Li Zubai reckoned that he has the "pulse" of the emperor, and it will not be easy to be promoted in the future?
"Call Tang Ruowang back to Beijing immediately, I want to see him." Yang Reform exclaimed happily.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the servants have made a note, and I will pass the decree right away." Wang Chengen also noticed from the side that the emperor had never been so excited since his serious illness. It can be seen that this person is quite important to the emperor. Therefore, Wang Chengen decided to recall this person as quickly as possible.

……

Yang Reform has gradually calmed down. Tang Ruowang is still in Xi'an, and it will take some time before he comes back. I will ask Li Zubai again, what other amazing people do I know? If I can find more awesome people like Xu Guangqi and Tang Ruowang who are proficient in Western technology , then I am not fighting alone at the end of Ming Dynasty.

"Aiqing still knows those people? And these...these..." Yang Reform didn't know how to describe science.

"Your Majesty, are you talking about novel Western skills?" Li Zubai felt that he had grasped the emperor's "pulse", that is, he liked novelty things. Seeing that His Majesty could not describe something specific, he filled it in for the Emperor.

"Yes, yes, Aiqing still knows those people, knows those novel technologies and deeds, and you can tell me about them. To be honest, I stay in this palace all day long, and I am quite curious about the outside world. Aiqing, hurry up." Tell me." Yang Reform couldn't wait.Get restless.He doesn't look like an emperor anymore, and the otaku boy has shown his original shape.

……

It was getting dark.Night fell.

……

The conversation with Li Zubai is still going on.

……

The pig-like elites of the Ming Dynasty showed Yang Reform a picture of hell in the last days of the Ming Dynasty, and personally directed Yang Reform, Emperor Chongzhen, and his empire into the abyss of hell; while chatting with Li Zubai, talking about The people and things I saw showed Yang Reform the other side of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, a golden road leading to heaven, a group of people facing the world, open-minded, aggressive, insightful, thriving, full of passion and ideals.

Heaven and hell, these two different worlds appeared at the end of Ming Dynasty.

At the end of Ming Dynasty, heaven and hell blended together.
