I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Yin Xuan's words caught Li Shu by surprise.

Li Shu has always been very arrogant to her father, and feels that all the heroes, talented scholars and beautiful women in the world should rush to lie down, and want to be used by her father.

The environment she came into contact with was indeed the same.

Leng Buding met Yin Xuan who did not follow the usual path today, which caught her off guard.

Don't want to be used by your father?
"Then why does the shopkeeper still want to study?" Li Shu's voice and attitude were not as confident as at the beginning, and she asked very puzzled.

Yin Lulu also raised her head and looked at her brother.

In fact, she also has such doubts, why does she have to study so hard, get up early and sleep late every day, if Li Lizhi, Li Shimin, and Cheng Yaojin often accompany her to play cards, she would have given up a long time ago.

My mother can't read a few words, so she's living a good life, too?

Why do you want to study?
Yin Xuan smiled, and tapped Yin Lulu's little head: "Do you need any reason to study?"

"I don't want to be an ignorant person."

"You can not use what you have learned, but you can't choose to be an ignorant person all the time."

Yin Lulu heard it in a daze.

Li Shu understands it, she can understand it - after hearing Yin Xuan's words, she realized that the reason why she is driving herself to do things different from her sisters is such an emotion .

Don't want to be an ignorant person.

Li Shu curled her lips: "Since you don't want to be an ignorant person, why do you want to learn such useless knowledge as Mo Jing?"

useless?

Yin Xuan felt a little funny.

But from a certain point of view, Li Shu was right.

Why in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period nearly a thousand years ago, we already knew about pinhole imaging and some basic concepts of mechanics.

Why are the people in this land not so crazy and superstitious about the round sky and the earth? They can accept some seemingly "heretical" statements, such as the round earth.

Their minds are not limited by some so-called gods.

But, after such a long time, science still hasn't taken root in this land.

As an engineering student, Yin Xuan didn't believe in the "inferiority" of the Academy of Social Sciences. He flipped through the history books for a long time, and figured out something by himself.

In fact, the biggest reason is the difference in the root of civilization.

It is also a piece of steamed cake that can only be eaten by ten people, but it has to be shared among twenty people.The solution Gu Sa Civilization came up with was to snatch the steamed cakes from other people’s hands, and set up a Thanksgiving Day after he had eaten and drank enough to commemorate his great friend, sacrifice his life for righteousness, and eat and drink enough for himself.

And the way the civilization on this land thinks of is to let [-] people eat less through education, so that they will not take the initiative to grab the cakes in other people's hands.

If someone wants to grab your own pie, then reason with him first, if he doesn't listen, then beat him until he obeys.Then pull them over to be friends, and thirty people will share two cakes.

There is no distinction between these two forms of civilization.

But ask yourself, Yin Xuan still prefers the latter, at least you don’t have to worry about when your death day will become Thanksgiving, at least if you master the craft of making steamed cakes, everyone in these twenty people will have cakes to eat.

They are always willing to believe that Mingjun, Mingchen, and sages can make this world a better place.

Of course, this is true.

It's just that we can't fully trust people's moral standards. This system is as fragile as ice in summer. Once there is a foolish king, a treacherous minister, or a group of bad people, the balance that has been maintained will collapse in an instant.

Datang has no soil for technology.

It's just because the food in hand is still not enough to feed the stomachs of the people, so why go all out to develop technology?

Technology is not taken out today, and it will be effective tomorrow.

A thing that can improve human life requires a lot of resources and a lot of time.

This kind of introspective society cannot stand such a toss.

From such a point of view, what Li Shu said is correct. This is indeed a useless theory. It cannot achieve immediate results like policy theory. It can have obvious effects within one or two years.

Yin Xuan looked at Li Shu, and suddenly had an idea that it might be difficult for him to change the world, but... maybe he could try to fool around, no, change Li Shu?
"Useless?" Yin Xuan shook his head and said softly, "How can this kind of knowledge be said to be useless?"

Li Shu was very unconvinced, and pinched her waist: "Why is it useful!"

Confucianism and policy theory can govern the country.

Mathematics can also count the treasury and rule well.

But Mo Jing. Li Shuzhen didn't find it useful. Even the Mohists, they tried to change the world not through things like the Mo Jing, but by their theories.

Yin Xuan narrowed his eyes and said softly, "How about we make a bet?"

Li Shu tilted her head back: "What do you want to bet?"

"Let's just gamble. How's your strength?"

strength?

Li Shu looked at her little arm, then raised her head, looking at Yin Xuan like a fool: "Shopkeeper, do you treat me like my sister?"

Li Lizhi, who was inexplicably pointed out, looked bewildered.

Yin Xuan shook his head: "Of course it's not me and you. Later we will go outside to pick a stone. You can find anyone to come over. We will compare who can lift the stone higher."

After speaking, Yin Xuan paused.

"And it's not me who did it, it's Lulu who did it."

Yin Lulu, who was pointed out, also had the same blank expression on her face. How did this have something to do with her again?
Li Shu looked at Yin Lulu, a little girl the size of a bean.

"Are you sure?" Li Shu asked hesitantly.

Yin Xuan nodded: "Of course."

Li Shu asked again: "I can find anyone to come here? You wouldn't say that I bullied the little girl, would you?"

Yin Xuan smiled and shook his head.

After being repeatedly affirmed by Yin Xuan, Li Shu is full of confidence, and there is no shortage of powerful players in Qianniuwei.Besides, even in a competition of strength, she herself had the confidence to surpass Yin Lulu.

"Then what punishment will be given to the loser?" Li Shu was eagerly expecting it.

Yin Xuan waved his hand: "You say."

Li Shu still remembered what Yin Xuan said just now, and said without hesitation at this moment: "If you lose, you have to take part in the imperial examination and become an official in the court!"

Yin Xuan laughed and nodded: "Okay, then it's up to you."

"However, if you lose, you will come to me every day in the future and follow me to learn these... knowledge that is useless in your mouth."

This is not an excessive bet at all.

Li Shu also responded with all her mouth: "No problem, a gentleman!"

"It's hard to chase a horse."
