The Church of Science
Although Li Er had never come into contact with Pinyin before, Qin Mo had demonstrated a few of them and he knew how powerful it was. It made it extremely easy for him to read.
Li Lizhi was also very interested in Pinyin. She looked at Qin Mo with starry eyes, which made Li Er shake his head. The Guanyin maid said that her daughter was young and did not understand feelings. Looking at her now, she was completely hopeless.
Zhangsun Chong, on the other hand, looked very conflicted. He was very jealous that his cousin liked someone else, but Qin Mo had taken the blame for him previously, so he wanted to show that he was loyal.
Although Qin Mo had brought up the matter of Pinyin to interrupt him, Li Er was still brooding over the fact that Qin Mo had swept up tens of thousands of dollars in a few days." How much did you earn from selling ice these few days?”
Qin Mo looked as if he didn't know what money was. He had never seen money before. Li Er was so angry that his teeth hurt.
Li Lizhi said," Qin Dalang, is Qin Style Ice Cream Store yours? He heard that there was an item called ice cream that was especially delicious.”
As she spoke, she looked at Qin Mo with her cute eyes like a little cutie.
Qin Mo said," Princess, that ice shop belongs to the Duke of the Wing Nation, which is my uncle's. I wonder if Your Majesty and Your Highness would like to have the honor of tasting it?”
"Oh! I want to see what kind of ice cream you have.”
That's right, Qin Mo had set the ice-cream price as usual, and these were the cheapest.
There were no professional milk cows in the Tang Dynasty. Ordinary cows did not produce high milk, so there was not enough cream. If they did not book in advance and went late, there might not be any left.
Moreover, the rich ladies in Chang 'an were not short of money, so they bought and bought. They had never eaten ice cream before, and they had the nerve to call themselves rich and powerful.
Li Lizhi didn't think too much about it and just cheered.
When they arrived at the ice shop, they found a private room. A waitress in uniform served the ice cream in a bowl.
"Hurry up and eat. It won't taste good if it's hot.”
"Brat, this little thing is not enough for me to eat.”Li Er looked at the ice cream in his bowl and felt uncomfortable. He felt that Qin Mo was a profiteer who had harmed the people of the Great Tang.
However, Li Lizhi ate happily.
Qin Mo couldn't help but complain in his heart. However, he smiled and said," Your Majesty, it's my treat today. I'll treat you to your fill."”
"Do I lack this bit of money?" Li Er said.
Qin Mo changed the topic." Your Majesty, do you know what science is?”
Li Er scooped a mouthful of ice cream with a spoon." How did I know? What kind of science is this that you didn't come up with?”
" Science is the primary productive force." Qin Mo said," Your Majesty, do you know what productivity is?”
Li Er didn't answer. Qin Mo continued," The clothes we wear, the words we use, the oil we use to cook, and the grain produced by the farmers are all manifestations of productivity. Now, it's hard to find a pig in Chang 'an. This is a sign of insufficient productivity.”
Ever since Qin Mo started cooking, some of the cooking methods of pork had spread, making it difficult to find a pig in Chang 'an.
"The food that the common people grow is not enough to eat. This is a manifestation of insufficient productivity. At this time, we need to develop science.”
He tried to explain the relationship between science and productivity in simple language.
"Science can increase food production?”Li Er asked.
Qin Mo asked," May I ask Your Majesty, how much is the yield of one mu of rice?”
"About 200 catties per mu."
The Tang Dynasty attached great importance to agriculture, and even gave officials with fields a holiday every year to deal with the fields. Li Er was naturally clear about the grain production.
In the Tang Dynasty, one jin was equivalent to one jin and six taels in the future, which was about three hundred jin.
How much would the yield of rice in the future be? 800 kg, 1600 jin, was equivalent to 1000 jin in the Great Tang.
This was far from it.
"Your Majesty, science can make the yield of rice reach 1,000 catties per mu.”
In the future, the reason why rice could reach such a high yield was not only because of seeds, but also because of fertilizers and other factors. However, Qin Mo did not mention these.
"A thousand jin?" Li Er's eyes widened in disbelief." Brat, could it be that you deliberately lied to me in order to promote your science?”
Qin Mo said," Your Majesty, do you still remember that I said that putting shoes on horses can solve the problem of hoofs being worn out? Your Majesty and all the uncles didn't believe me?”
Li Er's face darkened." I'm asking you about rice.”
"Your Majesty, do you know about hybrid rice?"
Li Er shook his head.
"Do you know how to breed good breeds?"
He continued to shake his head.
"How do I apply fertilizer? How do I get rid of them?"
Li Er continued to shake his head, and his face darkened. He felt that he had become an ignorant person in front of Qin Mo.
Qin Mo sighed." Paddy planting is a systematic theory that involves many aspects. This is a science. However, the common people of the Great Tang did not grow high yield seeds. They did not know how to breed good seeds, nor did they know how to apply fertilizers and remove pests. How could they increase the yield?”
Li Er pondered for a moment and said," Can developing science really increase the grain production to 500 kilograms?”
"Your Majesty, if the people of the Sui Dynasty could produce a thousand catties of grain per mu, and everyone had food to eat, clothes to wear, and books to read, would anyone rebel?”
Qin Mo didn't answer but asked a sharp question.
Li Er's expression was solemn as he said," If that's the case, then what will the Great Tang do? My Li family will probably have to become a loyal general of the Sui Dynasty.”
Although it was the Guanlong family that supported Li Er to seize the world, if the people did not rebel and consume the strength of the Sui Dynasty, no one would dare to act rashly, be it the Guanlong family or the Shandong aristocratic families.
Qin Mo asked again," What if everyone in the Tang Empire has food to eat and clothes to wear?”
Li Er couldn't help but be moved. The beauty described by Qin Mo made him yearn for it.
Qin Mo said loudly," If that's the case, the Li family can be the ruler for all eternity.”
"Eternal monarch? Is that really possible?" Li Er calmed down.
Qin Mo said," If the yield of grain per mu is 500 kilograms, the people will have food to eat and will not borrow money. If the people do not borrow money, there will be no land acquisition. Without land acquisition, what is so strange about the Li family's dynasty passing on for thousands of years?”
Li Er nodded, clearly agreeing with what Qin Mo had said. In the later stages of every dynasty's demise, there would be the problem of annexation of land. The commoners would naturally rebel when they had no food to eat.
"It seems that science has to develop.”
"Yes." Qin Mo smiled.
"Brat, this is as you wish.”
Qin Mo said," I'm also sharing your worries.”
Once the scientific system was established, the terrifying energy it brought would make even the emperor submit to it, and the people would be able to escape from the fate of reincarnation.
