In the extremely stable carriage, Li Min and Yuan Tiangang sat opposite each other. On the low table in the middle, there were a teapot and two teacups. The tea in the cups floated a faint mist, and dissipated in the air in the blink of an eye.

"Master Yuan, why are you in such a hurry to come to me?" Li Min asked casually while sipping his tea. Originally, because of Yang Xian's incident, he didn't go out much these days except to visit some important elders.

,certainly

Well, this is also the reason why his gang of friends are not here. Cheng Huailiang, Li Yong and others are all in the military academy and cannot come out at all. However, Yan Bei, Li Jingheng and others are staying in Taiwan to cultivate plantations, and they don't know yet.

When can I come back?

"Haha, don't be anxious, Your Highness, you will know when you get to the Taoist Academy." Yuan Tiangang stroked the three long strands of beard on his chest and said as if he were a worldly expert.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Elder Yuan would learn to tell the truth!" Li Min laughed, but since Yuan Tiangang was unwilling to say anything, he stopped asking and asked about other things, "Daoist Yuan, now your

How far has the Taoist Academy developed? Has it developed any products that can be produced industrially?"

When Li Min asked about the development of the Taoist Academy, Yuan Tiangang immediately raised his eyebrows and even said with some excitement: "Your Highness does not know that our Taoist Academy has enrolled 5,000 formal students since it started in February this year. As for teaching,

As teachers, I have also invited nearly two hundred fellow Taoists who are profound in Taoism, and the teaching materials are also being improved, so the entire academy is on the right track!"

Li Min was also overjoyed when he heard this. He raised his hand and said happily: "Master Yuan is indeed the number one person in the Taoist sect. He can gather so many teachers and students in a short time. After a few years, once these students graduate, they will definitely make me the Central Plains."

The traditional Taoism of the land has reached a new level!”

Although Yuan Tiangang usually looks aloof from the world, he still has the obsession to promote Taoism in his heart, which is why he is so concerned about Taoism Academy. Now when he heard Li Min's congratulations, he was naturally very happy, but he still said

A few words of humility.

"By the way. Taoist priest Yuan, I wonder how many of the teachers and students you have recruited are responsible for studying chemistry?" Although Li Min is concerned about the development of Taoism, what he is most concerned about is the chemical industry developed through Taoism College.

"Haha, your highness, please rest assured. Of course I have not forgotten about chemistry. However, the Dao College has only been established for a short period of time. Therefore, there is no clear division of labor. Therefore, in the teaching of the Dao College, in addition to studying various Taoist collections, there are also

Those are the ones you provided, Your Highness.

The basics of chemistry, as well as the chemistry experience summarized by us Taoists. After one year of teaching, the college will let these students choose their main study direction according to their own interests. So your question is a bit early!" Yuan

Tiangang replied with a smile.

Li Min thought it was reasonable when he heard it. Interest is the best teacher. The Taoist College has recruited 5,000 students in the first year. I believe there must be many who are interested in chemistry. When the time comes, I will use some small tricks to win.

It can enable more and more people to invest in the research of chemistry.

When Li Min was imagining the development of the chemical industry in the future, he heard Yuan Tiangang say again: "Your Highness, speaking of chemistry, although there is no separate teaching yet, there are already many students who are particularly interested in chemistry who have formed a small group.

, this group is independently conducting chemical research, and has achieved some results. One of the reasons why Pindao invited Your Highness to come here this time is to ask Your Highness to see if their results are valuable? "

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Li Min was also very surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that he had just started teaching and there was already a chemistry interest group.

"Haha, in fact, this is not surprising. Didn't His Highness ask us to study the wear resistance of gum last time? That time I invited many fellow Taoists who were very accomplished in alchemy and pharmaceuticals, and they are all here now.

Teaching in the college, these people were very obsessed with the chemistry basics sent by His Highness. They often discussed their experiences with each other. On this basis, some students who studied chemistry were also attracted to join, so there was such a chemistry learning institution.

A small group." Yuan Tiangang explained with a smile.

"That's it!" Li Min nodded slightly after hearing this. Not only did he help them build the Taoist Academy, but he also sorted out some of the chemical basics he knew and sent them all to the Taoist Academy, although these basics didn't count at all.

What, but it is the basis of modern chemistry in later generations, especially chemistry

Although Li Min couldn't remember all the chemical element symbols and molecular formulas, it was just a symbol anyway. He just had to create another one. For example, oxygen was originally o, but in the Tang Dynasty, Li Min could

Just write any symbol instead of o. Anyway, you just need to know that it is oxygen.

During the conversation between the two, the carriage kept moving forward rapidly, and soon arrived at the gate of the Taoist Academy. The Taoist Academy was built directly south of Chang'an City. In fact, in order to show the difference between their Taoist academies, Yuan Tiangang also asked Li Shimin for instructions.

Suddenly, with the consent of the other party, the Taoist College was built on the extension of the central axis of Chang'an City. In other words, the Taoist College and Li Chunfeng's Chang'an Observatory were in a straight line.

However, the Taoist College is not as close to Chang'an as the Observatory. After leaving Mingde Gate, go south for another ten miles before you reach a small hill. Although this mountain is not high or big, the scenery is very beautiful.

, so it was selected by Yuan Tiangang to build the Taoist Academy on this hill. In order to facilitate transportation, a very wide climbing ladder was built. There is also a cement road at the bottom of the mountain connected to the cement avenue in Chang'an, and the transportation is also very convenient.

.

When Li Min arrived at the hill where the Taoist Academy was located, he immediately frowned. Because the Taoist Academy was built on the top of the mountain, and if you want to go to the Taoist Academy, you must pass the very wide climbing ladder in front of you. Although the slope of the ladder is very gentle,

Climbing up so many steps would probably be exhausting for everyone.

However, Yuan Tiangang did not pay attention to Li Min's expression. Instead, he pointed to the hill with some pride and said: "Your Highness, please see, this mountain was originally unknown. In order to build a Taoist college, we bought this unknown hill and built it there.

Named Daoshan, the mountain gate in front of us is King Huo

Donated, the whole body is carved from fine white marble and can stand for thousands of years. After passing through the mountain gate, there is the climbing ladder of Daoshan, with a total of 999 steps. These were donated by believers in Chang'an.

!" Yuan Tiangang introduced excitedly.

When Li Min heard that there were more than 900 steps, he immediately rolled his eyes angrily. The mountain was not high to begin with, but they built more than 900 steps. Each step was less than ten centimeters high. It was simply huge.

Waste. As for what Yuan Tiangang said

King Huo, Li Min also knew, was the fourteenth brother of his father Li Shimin. His name was Li Yuangui. He had a good reputation and had a good relationship with Wei Zheng. He even married Wei Zheng's daughter as his princess. Li Min also saw

I've been there a few times, but I'm not very impressed.

Although the Taoist Academy is not a Taoist temple, it is full of Taoist priests, so the rules of the Taoist temple are also the same here. For example, if you want to go up the mountain, you must pass the mountain gate, and then walk up step by step, so as to show your pursuit of Taoism.

The Taoist Academy is no exception to the sincerity of people. Although Li Min does not believe in Buddhism, Taoism is the state religion established by his old Li family, so he still has to adopt the necessary attitude. Therefore, he has no choice but to follow Yuan Tiangang step by step.

To the top of the mountain.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Li Min was so tired that he beat his back. Compared to Li Min's embarrassment, the white-haired Yuan Tiangang looked very relaxed, with only a slight trace of sweat on his forehead. Li Min couldn't help but feel a little agitated when he saw this.

I wonder if these Taoist monks live longer because they are probably trained by climbing mountains.

Since the Taoist Academy is used to teach Taoism, the architecture naturally comes from the Taoist lineage. For example, after climbing to the top of the mountain, the first thing Li Min saw was the Sanqing Palace dedicated to the Sanqing Dynasty. After entering the Sanqing Palace, he paid homage to the Empress of the Sanqing Dynasty.

, and then you can enter the real Taoist academy.

Compared with the military academy that Li Min personally supervised the construction of, the architecture of the Taoist Academy is even more unique. It can even be said that this is actually a very large Taoist temple, but it is mainly used for teaching. As soon as you enter the Taoist Academy, you can immediately hear the cornices next to it.

Waves of clear readings came from the tall building. The only thing Li Min could hear was a copy of the Tao Te Ching. Others had no idea what the Taoist priests in the building were reading.

"Your Highness, this is the closest to Sanqing Palace, so it is the place to study Taoism and Tibet. After passing through here, you will reach the back mountain. The buildings there are completely different from here. Instead, they are rows of small buildings built to imitate the military academy.

This is the place where you really learn chemistry, it is called the School of Chemistry, and students usually study in two groups." Yuan Tiangang introduced with a smile while listening to the reading next to him, stroking his beard.

"Oh, I didn't expect that Taoist Yuan not only has amazing physiognomy, but also has such superb management skills. Li Min really admires him!" Li Min also said with a smile. This academy has just been established, but it can be planned in such an orderly manner.

, it is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.

Yuan Tiangang was also quite satisfied with the Taoist College he founded, but he still said a few words of humility on the surface, and then led Li Min to walk through the courtyards to the Chemistry College on the back hill. Of course, this

He was not idle on the road either. As he walked, Yuan Tiangang introduced the various building functions of the Taoist College to Li Min. However, because it was established so short ago, some buildings are still under intense construction. It is estimated that by the end of this year, all Taoist colleges will have

Only then will it be completely built.

After passing through the middle living area, Li Min and the others finally arrived at the School of Chemistry. However, in front of the gate of the School of Chemistry, Li Min saw an unexpected person standing there, which surprised him.
Chapter completed!
