Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

In this way, the contest between Qu Yuanli and Chang Zhiyuanli came to an end slowly amid the voices of countless people shouting "Your Majesty is wise". The three words "Zhenguan Award" also became a topic of discussion in the court in a short period of time. Some people think that this can indeed promote the development of the Tang Dynasty. The idea of ​​Li Xin, the king of Chu, is reasonable, while others think that this is "abandoning the root and chasing the end". Farmers work hard day in and day out.

For the latter idea, Li Xin scoffed.

This is the great flaw of Confucianism. It likes to over exaggerate people's subjective initiative, and at the same time, it overly underestimates the means and tools that can help people improve work efficiency. And greed gave birth to these "bells and whistles" or "flashy" things. Actually? This view is completely wrong.

To this day, Li Xin still clearly understands a passage in the history book back then. This passage is not important, because it is not in bold and bold in the textbook, but in ordinary gray Song typeface, indicating that it is just an insignificant supplementary material, just to restore the historical background at that time. But it is precisely this passage that Li Xin will never forget.

This passage tells a story that after the steam train came out, some people held a race between the horse-drawn carriage and the steam train. In the beginning, the horse ran faster than the train. People cheered and laughed at the bulkiness of the train. However, the train quickly completed the acceleration process, leaving the carriage far behind. After that, no matter how the rider swung his whip, the train moved forward indifferently, leaving only a long trail of black smoke, which was sucked bitterly into everyone's chest.

Li Xin has imagined countless times how desperate he would be if he were that rider.

The man, the rider, who mounted the strongest horse he ever owned, rode the horsemanship he was proud of, tried his best to prove something, tried to be a hero, and who knows only became Don Quixote who challenged the windmill.

Obviously go all out but encounter setbacks, only those who have tasted it know how hopeless it is.

Human power has an end. Li Xin has seen too many live examples. When people still think that computers can never learn to think and make decisions, and will never be able to conquer Go, artificial intelligence can already press the top chess player of mankind, the person who is recognized as the closest to God, to rub against the ground repeatedly. Until that person shed tears in front of the chessboard and finally conceded. At that moment, he was like the man who challenged the train on a horse, and also like the knight named Don Quixote that Cervantes said. Very stubborn, very unwilling, but helpless.

You see, history repeats itself over and over again.

Acknowledging the limitations of human power, and accepting new things that have never been seen with an open mind, if you can have such an attitude, what will the future of Huaxia be like?

To be honest, Li Xin didn't know the answer to this question either. He was just trying to do the right thing, doing his best to open a small window for Datang. As for the future, probably only God knows.

Li Shimin's approval established the legal status of the Zhenguan Award. But this is only a prototype, and many details need to be considered in the actual implementation. An invention has to go through a series of procedures such as declaration, review and so on from the application to the final award, and these procedures must be confirmed by Li Xin one by one, so as to ensure that the vast majority of people who want to apply for the Zhenguan Award can go smoothly Hand in the materials as quickly as possible, and at the same time, gradually filter most useless sand sculpture inventions in the process of reporting layer by layer.

All in all, a very mind-consuming job. The final draft of Li Xin's "Zhenguan Award Implementation Rules" has written more than ten pages. Of course, when he wrote, he wrote horizontally from left to right, completely starting from the reading habits of later generations. The last handed-in note was the standard format of vertical typesetting that Chen Youlan helped him re-transcribe. When she was free, she would often visit Chu Palace in a man's attire to see what novelty Li Xin had made, but in the end, Li Xin always caught the young man and did some paperwork for copying and writing.

Chen Youlan also complained more than once, saying that Li Xin's writing habit is simply inexplicable, where in the world does anyone write horizontally, and also write from left to right?

If she also knew the word "anti-humanity", then Li Xin believed that she would definitely use it. In this regard, Li Xin had no choice but to be helpless. The only gratifying thing is that after so much copying and writing, Chen Youlan gradually realized the benefits of writing horizontally from left to right, and occasionally couldn't help sighing at the horizontal manuscript written by Li Xin: "You still Needless to say, after reading more, I really feel that writing horizontally like this is much clearer, and the 'punctuation mark' you made is really easy to use."
