Knowing that Lu Ya was a person with real ability, Liu Ji did not cower. Instead, he looked forward to it.
If he could defeat this person, then he would be able to get a better impression from Zhu Yuanzhang.
He might even enter the Stargazing Tower and become the new national master.
The more Liu Ji thought about it, the more excited he became.
He had never thought that he would fail, because that was impossible. This was absolute confidence in himself.
He didn't even care about the head of the civil officials, Li Shan Chang.
The more profound the other party's knowledge was, the more Liu Ji's competitive heart would be aroused, and he would step on the other party to get to the top.
"Your Highness, let's go up and take a look.”Liu Ji said.
"Ah?" Zhu Di was stunned and a little unwilling.
"No, that person said that unless I carry the book bag, I'm not allowed to enter the Stargazing Tower.”
Liu Ji narrowed his eyes and laughed.
"Your Highness, this old man thinks that there is nothing wrong with the Imperial Preceptor's words. You are all adults and there are many things that you have to do personally.”
Zhu Di blinked his eyes and looked puzzled.
After all, he was only an eight-year-old child. In the future, he would only have the IQ of a primary school student. Although he was a little stubborn, he was still very obedient when he met his respected elders.
Zhu Di thought for a moment and nodded.
"Alright, then I'll listen to Mr. Liu. I'll carry this book bag. It's not heavy anyway.”
Liu Ji smiled and nodded.
"Okay, then let's go up."
Zhu Di took five bookcases from the errand boy and hung them all on his body. The bookcases were so big that they reached the back of his calves, making him look like a primary school student carrying a huge schoolbag in the future.
It looked very funny.
However, in Liu Ji's eyes, it was somewhat unsightly.
After thinking for a while, Liu Ji went forward to help Zhu Di tidy up, trying to make his back as comfortable as possible.
As for helping him?
It was impossible.
This building had a total of nine floors. The old man was old, so he had to be supported up, let alone carry things up.
Thus, the old and the young walked up the stairs.
……
"Then we can't help but ask, what do we need to do to go to the ends of the earth?”
Liu Ji brought the panting Zhu Di to the ninth floor and heard this sentence.
Liu Ji couldn't help but frown. What kind of question was this?
The ends of the world?
Zhu Di, who was at the side, was so tired that he could not catch his breath. He sat on the ground and wiped his sweat while taking out a water bag to drink.
Liu Ji glanced at Zhu Di and smiled."
"Your Highness, if you are tired, you can rest first.”
As he spoke, he was about to enter when he suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks.
First, he wanted to hear how good this person was at teaching.
Before a head-on confrontation, it was better to understand the other party's background. Knowing yourself and your enemy would increase your chances of winning.
At this moment, Liu Ji heard another voice coming from inside.
On the Eight Trigrams Stage.
Lu Ya glanced at the five people and said,"
"No one answered, right?"
"Since that's the case, I'll tell you directly.”
"Our ancestors, from the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period to the Three Royals and Five Emperors period, drank the blood of Mao Ru, drilled wood to make fire, and tasted all kinds of herbs in order to let the Chinese tribes live.”
"If a person is unarmed and without a weapon, they are far from being a match for wild beasts. Thus, the ancestors invented the stone axe, and then invented the art of smelting copper, forging bronze, and then iron, bow, and arrow.”
" In order to improve their walking ability, they tamed horses so that they could travel more than a hundred li a day…With wooden slips, there was the Rites of Zhou. After that, the rules of etiquette were spread throughout the world, and thus there were classics and historical records.”
Lu Ya paused and continued,"
"Therefore, everything in this world is a gift from nature. If a person does not cherish it, they are stupid and ignorant.”
Lu Ya pointed at the world map he had drawn on the blackboard and said,""If you want to go to the ends of the earth, you need to build ships and carriages.”
"If you want to build a ship, you have to cut wood first. To cut wood, you need a sharper iron axe.”
"Refined iron is needed. If refined iron wants to be tempered, it needs to be rammed with earth to build a furnace. It also needs coal…As the saying goes, Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets infinite.”
Outside, Liu Ji frowned as he listened to Lu Ya.
Although he was right, Liu Ji felt that…something was wrong. Why did it seem like he was talking about the Taoist?
Confucius said, Confucius said?
Why not?
Liu Ji was still thinking when Lu Ya's voice sounded again.
"In ancient times, the sages advocated tasting hundreds of herbs and drilling wood to make fire, as well as those who could refine refined iron.”
"These people were known as the Three Royals and Five Emperors. When people settled down, they began to advocate morality and etiquette. Thus, there was the Rites of Zhou, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, and the Holy Learning.”
Hearing this, Liu Ji's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. He had finally reached the Saint's Studies.
This person was quite capable.
However, this was not enough. This was basic common sense, and it was not enough for Liu Ji to see through the other party's depth.
Hence, Liu Ji continued to eavesdrop.
Lu Ya looked at the four Zhu children and said indifferently,"
"However, can you really rule the world with just these four books and five classics? "I don't think so. The Hundred Schools of Thought were only established after people learned how to control water, improve the efficiency of farming, and know how to refine copper and iron better.”
Lu Ya smiled and said,
" From this, you can see that the knowledge in this world can be regarded as a piece of hair, and the hair is attached to the skin that produces all things. Without the skin, all the knowledge is just a joke, and humans are just beasts draped in knowledge.”
After Lu Ya finished speaking, he wrote three big words on the blackboard.
Production!
P.S. A new day, asking for votes daily!!!
