Chapter 10 Black and white abstract painting

"What kind of observation record did you teach Chi Nu and the others?"

His Majesty Li Er pointed to the paper on the table and asked Wei Chi. Wei Chi shook his head honestly and nodded, saying, "Your Majesty, it should be taught by me and my wife. The painting was taught by my wife, and the others were taught by me."

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Is this painting the handwriting of Mrs. Wei? This technique is the first time I have seen it, and it is quite novel."

Wei Chi said: "Go back to the queen, Xie Jiu of my family said that she has no talent in painting and is not good at painting. Fortunately, this observation record is only necessary to record the shape of the observed object faithfully, and does not require painting skills, so he taught the three high men."

Wei Chi meant that if Li Zhi, Gao Yang, and Yizi could not draw well in the future, don’t blame his family Xie Jiu, because Xie Jiu confiscated his disciples. Empress Changsun covered her mouth and laughed. Her eyes looked strange when she looked at Wei Chi, and Wei Chi felt at ease.

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said nothing. He looked through the observation records. Those who had corn seedlings and those who had turned into frogs were all done very seriously according to the format taught by Wei Chi.

After watching for a long time, His Majesty Li Er said, "I have never thought about how frogs came from, nor have I thought about what tadpoles would grow up. I took it for granted that these are two different things and have never linked them together. Ziyue, where did you learn these things?"

Wei Chi scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, these are all in enlightenment education. There are two courses, nature and biology, which specialize in teaching these knowledge. What I know is only superficial things. This tadpole turns into a frog is a very famous story."

"story?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, why don't you tell me to tell you? I liked listening to this story back then!"

So, in the Lizheng Hall, Wei Chi told the story of "The Tadpole Looking for Mother" vividly. The tone and tone were full of emotion. Try to get closer to the commentator in the cartoon to remember it. However, it seems that Wei Chi's kung fu is not as deep as others, and he is not as passionate as possible. Seeing that in addition to Xiao Yizi, there is also the Princess Xincheng who has not yet learned to speak, the two little girls gave him warm applause, everyone else had a strange expression on his face. This... is the generation gap?!

"Well... and not tell the story, the content is pretty good, it is both educational and entertaining, good, good."

It was probably Wei Chi's expression on his face that made the family Queen Sun unable to bear it. Women's hearts are soft and easy to feel pity. So, they expressed their support when they spoke. However, what was the feeling in the first half of the sentence? If not, it would be great. This praise is more agitated than criticism.

Wei Chi decided to use the method of changing topics again. The guy looked serious and said sincerely: "When I was in school, I was in nature and biology classes, and the teacher often asked us to make observation records. While witnessing the growth of things with my own eyes, I could also learn a lot of knowledge. Your Majesty and Empress gave me the three Your Majesty. I was stupid and had no knowledge and could not teach anything knowledgeable. I would tell you what I learned when I was a child and I thought might be useful. I could not let Your Majesty and Empress down."

His Majesty Li Er, who had been holding the observation record and thinking, nodded and asked, "Ziyue, what you are talking about nature and biology, is learning about these frogs, tadpoles and other things?"

Speaking of this, Wei Chi's heart moved, nodded quickly and said, "Your Majesty, basically, they are all similar. For example, why did the person I just mentioned turn black when I get sunny, and the process of tadpoles turning into frogs, etc., is to study and observe these. There are thousands of species in the world, climbing on the ground, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and even a tree, all are research areas of biology. Biology is just a classification of nature."

Wei Chi explained in detail what nature is and what biology is. His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "That means that nature studies the world and all things, and life is just one of the world and all things?"

Wei Chi nodded violently. His Majesty Li Er touched his beard again, as if he was ecstatic. He thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and kept paced beside Wei Chi, making Wei Chi dizzy. He wanted to grab his shoulder and let him stop, but he was not brave enough to give up.

"Can nature and biological what you mean by it be applied to farming?" After wandering around for a long time, His Majesty Li Er suddenly raised this question with a solemn expression.

Wei Chi was stunned for a moment, admired her so much that she wanted to hold His Majesty Li Er's thigh and shouted, "Yes! Your Majesty, in fact, there is a relatively common saying that the origin of biology is observed and summarized from farming. An experienced farmer knows when to cultivate, when to harvest, and when to fertilize. This is an accumulation of experience, but in terms of biology, from a certain perspective, this is also because of the understanding of crops in the field, so that the timing can be accurately judged!"

"The observation of crop planting may have been done again since our ancestors, and passed down from generation to generation. These can be said to be the research results of our ancestors on biology. For example, what conditions are required for planting rice, where can we grow and survive, what kind of planting methods, and better harvests, etc. These are all objects of biological research. Overseas, there are a group of scholars studying biology. After years of research, they can adapt crops that can only be planted in the north to plant, so that the crop yields will increase and increase, etc.."

Before Wei Chi finished speaking, he was startled by His Majesty Li Er's bright eyes. He subconsciously looked at him and didn't find anything wrong. Uh... He wouldn't have accidentally seduced His Majesty Li Er, right?!

"Can you really increase grain production?"

His Majesty Li Er was a little excited. Wei Chi had never seen him like this before. He calmed down and said, "It really can! However, this is a big project and requires a lot of accumulation of biological knowledge. I am not a professional biologist and only know a little bit of the superficiality. If I want to do it in the Tang Dynasty, I can only develop step by step from the basics."

His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly disappointed, looking at Wei Chi's eyes were very enthusiastic and complicated. Seeing Wei Chi's heart made him feel irritated, and then he sighed: "I really don't know what kind of country the China you are talking about is, which is amazing and a little panicked. If one day, like you, fly over the sea and come to my Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid I won't even have the power to fight back!"

Wei Chi was startled, and seemed to have made His Majesty Li Er feel a little more dangerous. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, you have been worried too much. It is not so easy to fly over the sea and walk such a long way to my Tang Dynasty. The reason why Xie Jiu and I were able to come back is probably because of the favor of God. The journey from China to my Tang Dynasty is a bloody road built with human lives. Not to mention that the cars you go home cannot be built, they are just relying on boats and the tests you have to go through.

It is also not easy. First of all, it is the test of scurvy. This disease was discovered on our way back. It is common in long-distance voyages and is highly prevalent; secondly, it is wind and waves. The weather on the sea is changeable, and different sea areas, water currents, and climates are different. It is not a matter of one or two days to travel across the sea that is as wide as if it is boundless, but a year or two, year or two, and year or two, it is not something that can be done by luck."

"So you're serious?"

"I dare to use the head to guarantee it!"

His Majesty Li Er sighed with regret: "It's a pity, I really want to see what China you are talking about!"

Wei Chi was sweating profusely, and quickly shut up. Empress Changsun listened to her for a long time and said, "I have never seen the sea that Ziyue mentioned. I can't imagine the thrillingness in it. Wherever I see, there is water. How spectacular it is."

Wei Chi smiled and said, "I have a place bordering the sea in the Tang Dynasty. When the Empress is well prepared, when His Majesty has time, you two can go and patrol, see the sea, and taste the things in the sea. Although they are all water, the things in the sea are completely different from those in our rivers."

"Mr. Wei, what's the difference? Isn't it fish that grows in the sea?"

Wei Fei asked this. Wei Chi was a huge sweat and patiently explained: "Empress, it's different. Empress has never been to the beach. Maybe she doesn't know that the sea water cannot be drunk. It's bitter, astringent and salty. The water in the river can be drunk. The two different waters, the fish raised are also different. Take fish for example. Freshwater fish has a lighter fish smell, with a mud smell. The sea fish has a fishy smell that can be smelled at once. The meat of the sea fish is relatively tight, and the colors are different. Some are colorful and beautiful, with different shapes. Uh... Your Majesty, can you use paper and pen?"

Wei Chi was intrigued, picked up paper and pen, and outlined several common shapes of sea fish. By the way, there were so many episodes of "Animal World" back then, "Man and Nature" were not for nothing. Wei Chi was very sorry that he had no pigments, otherwise he could draw more beautifully, just watch black and white films. It was an abstract black and white film.

His Majesty Li Er looked at it first and smiled lightly, "Although his painting skills are not bad, he can still calculate it clearly. Wei Chi, the clown fish you wrote is really flat?"

Wei Chi was drooling again, from common clown fish, hairtail, eel, butterfly fish, to sharks, and to somehow, to dolphins and whales. But when everyone heard that there were fish as big as houses in the ocean, they were a little dumbfounded. Looking at the abstract whales painted by Wei Chi, they couldn't help but look up at the roof, estimating and fantasizing about what the size of a house looked like, and their expressions were a little dull.

Wei Chi said: "There is no less things in the sea than those on land at all. Because of the relationship between water, detection and research, it is not clear. According to speculation, it is said that it is only much more than on land. Take snakes for example. The venomousness of sea snakes is fifty times more venomous than the most venomous king cobra on land. Most of the water snakes on land are non-toxic."

There are many women present and are more afraid of snakes. When Wei Chi said this, there were many flowers that were fading away for a while. Even His Majesty Li Er was quite moved and said, "It turns out that there are many knowledges in the sea. Are these natural and biological teachings?"

"Back to your Majesty, yes."

Uh... I watch it on TV, but it also belongs to the biological category, so it is also considered. When you shouldn't care, don't be too serious. In this regard, Wei Chi's choice is more flexible.

His Majesty Li Er sighed: "It turns out that the world is clear and knowledgeable."

"The mystery of the world is so many. What we know now is just a small little bit. The more we know, the more we feel our insignificance. The more we know, the more unknowns we have in front of us. Your Majesty, I don't have much knowledge and are not professional and biology. My knowledge is limited, which disappoints Your Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er calmed down, pointed at Wei Chi, and scolded: "I have known for a long time what kind of virtue you are. It's really like you said. Except for the more exquisite medical skills, the rest of the things are just half a bottle of water, and everything is loose, so it can scare an outsider like me."

This question must be explained clearly! Wei Chi quickly said, "Your Majesty, give me a hundred courage, and dare not fool Your Majesty. I have always been honest. I have asked what I know. I have never hidden it privately. I have answered whatever I have. Although my level is a little worse, I am sincere, right? Your Majesty."

"You slim boy!"

His Majesty Li Er laughed and scolded Wei Chi, but looked at him with a gentle look. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Wei Chi, I want to apply what you mentioned to the biology of the farm and the mulberry trees. What do you think of?"

Wei Chi frowned and thought for a long time, and said, "Your Majesty, I can't remember it for a while. Rong Chen went back to sort out and summarize. All I learned were from enlightenment education. My Xie Jiu also learned it. When they went back, they recalled and summarized it together. It should be more important to gather the wisdom of the two of them than the one who did one."

"Okay! Go back and organize your wife carefully. I will never treat you badly for the contributions you and your wife have made to me, the Tang Dynasty!"

Seeing that Wei Chi agreed without any hesitation, His Majesty Li Er sincerely proposed to go back and think with Xie Jiu, hoping to sort out more useful things for the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty Li Er was very happy.

Wei Chi is also happy. She has no military knowledge, can't make arms, no industrial doctorate degree, and can't carry out the industrial revolution. But as a doctor, she is a child from the countryside, and is not unfamiliar with biology, agriculture, etc. When she goes back and organizes it with Xie Jiu, it will always be useful.

In the era of cold weapons, the Tang Dynasty's army swept across Asia, which was absolutely fine. If he didn't understand military affairs, he would not point fingers and just cause trouble. It would be better to work hard and contribute hard in the fields he knew. When it comes to biology, it is no longer the Chinese people who want to study abroad, but the foreigners who want to study in China. What a beautiful thing.

While yy was dying, Wei Chi reminded His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty, don't be promoted to the officials, especially those who need to go to the morning court, I will never do it! If Your Majesty has an official who doesn't have to go to the morning court and can be promoted, I don't mind doing it. If not, I will give you some gold, silver or something, and I basically have no objection. Your Majesty, my house has not been built yet!"
