The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 710 Li Tai Plagiarized Again (Part [-])
Li Tai took Li Tianming to the school leisurely by himself.During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, there was no TV, so most of the common people still didn't know Li Tai.

So even if Li Tai walked on the street swaggeringly, as long as there were no honor guards and guards.Few people would have guessed that this is the famous Yan Wang Li Tai.

When Li Tai came to the school, he heard the sound of reading aloud from the school.This can't help but remind Li Tai of the scene he read earlier when he was studying.

So Li Tai walked into the school slowly, stopping outside each classroom for a while.Some classrooms are reading articles aloud, and some are learning pinyin letters.

Don't forget the pinyin letters, but Li Tai created them all by himself.Although Li Tai just plagiarized the achievements of later generations, no one knew about it during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty.They only think that Li Tai has the talent of the world, otherwise he would never be able to come up with such a miraculous thing.

After looking at several classrooms in a row, Li Tai stopped outside a classroom.In this classroom children are being taught arithmetic.

But no matter what the teacher said, some students still looked blank.They can't even understand the simplest addition and subtraction.

This couldn't help but surprised Li Tai, so Li Tai knocked lightly on the classroom door.Soon the teacher in the classroom opened the classroom door for Li Tai.

The teacher in the classroom naturally didn't recognize Li Tai, so he said to Li Tai: "We are in class, what do you want?"

"Teacher, I just visited the school in my free time. I just saw you teaching children mathematics, but many children couldn't understand it at all, so I walked in."

"Most of these children come from poor families, and they have never been exposed to these things since they were young. Although they are sent to schools now, they know a lot of simple words. But they just can't master calculations." The teacher also sighed. Said to Li Tai.

So Li Tai called out a stunned student.Open your mouth and ask the student: "Is mathematics really that difficult? Why can't you understand what the teacher is saying?"

"Big brother, I only have ten fingers. So as long as the sum of two numbers is greater than ten, I can't use my fingers to calculate." The student stretched out his hands and said to Li Tai.

Hearing what the student said, Li Tai suddenly thought of something.So dozens of copper coins were taken from Li Tianming.

Then put the copper coins on the table and said to the student: "You can use these copper coins to try and see if you can complete the addition and subtraction of these numbers."

After the student nodded, he counted the copper coins on the table one by one.Sure enough, the teacher wrote the arithmetic problems on the blackboard.It was all said by this student very easily.

Seeing the happy expression on the student's face, the teacher at the side said excitedly to Li Tai: "Young master, it is a good way to use these copper coins for calculation. It seems that the school should prepare some for the children for preparation."

In fact, the ancients had already thought of Li Tai's way of calculating with copper coins.And the choice is to use a cheaper and more convenient bamboo stick or wooden stick.It is called counting chips in history.

However, Li Tai felt that it would be impractical for these children to carry these calculations on their backs and keep fiddling with them every day.And once the number is too large, even counting chips cannot be calculated.

Although now Li Tai has started to promote the flying bear sky calculation, which is Arabic numerals.Although this makes the calculation easier, it is also not accessible to everyone.

After Li Tai left the school, he took Li Tianming back to the Yan Palace.After returning to King Yan's Mansion, Li Tai did not go back to the inner mansion, but went directly to Tiangong Pavilion in Gaoping.

All the important departments in Youzhou are all in this Prince Yan's mansion.Of course, Tiangong Pavilion is just a research and development department, and the production department cannot be in Yanwang Mansion.

When Li Tai entered Tiangong Pavilion, he directly called Gao Ping over.When Gao Ping heard that Li Tai was coming, he rushed out to greet him.

After saluting to Li Tai, Gao Ping said to Li Tai: "My lord, why do you have time to come to Tiangong Pavilion today? Is it possible that you have some wonderful ideas, and you have to explain to your subordinates?"

Every time Li Tai comes to Tiangong Pavilion, he will bring his own whimsical ideas.In fact, only Li Tai himself knew that these were just plagiarized by him.

Li Tai nodded and said, "Today, I saw the children in school having difficulty in counting. So this king thought of a calculation tool."

"Go get the pen and paper, and I will draw it to you in detail. It's best to make a sample for me right away."

When Gao Ping heard Li Tai's words, he didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest.Immediately ordered someone to take the pen and straw paper, and asked Li Tai to draw the calculation tool he said.

Today, all Yan State officials know how to use brushes unless they are practicing calligraphy.All other written records use this pen, which not only greatly improves the speed of writing records.At the same time, the accuracy rate is greatly improved.

Li Tai picked up the pen and sketched a few times casually on the straw paper.He sketched out the shape of the abacus and handed it directly to Gao Ping.

Gao Ping took a look at the blueprint and said to Li Tai with a smile: "Master, today's design is simple, please wait for a while. The subordinates can make it right away."

After all, there is no complicated process to make this abacus.So it took Gao Ping a short time to make an abacus.

After Gao Ping handed the abacus into Li Tai's hands, he asked, "My lord, I don't know what this thing is called. What's its use? How can it help children calculate?"

Li Tai took the abacus from Gao Ping and placed it on the table.Then he said to Gao Ping: "This king calls it an abacus. With it, children are learning to calculate, so it will not be so difficult."

Then Li Tai explained to Gao Ping how to use the abacus in detail.After Gao Ping understood how to use the abacus.A look of admiration could not help showing on his face.

So he opened his mouth and said to Li Tai: "My lord, with this abacus, not only the children can calculate easily, but even the merchants do business, it is also much more convenient. This is definitely an invention that benefits the country and the people."

"Immediately ask the factory to make this abacus for me. I will distribute it to every student in a short time. However, the size of the abacus should be as small as possible, so as not to be inconvenient to carry." Li Tai said Said to Gao Ping.

"My lord, please don't worry. In a few days, my subordinates will show my lord that the students have used the abacus. At the same time, my subordinates will mass-produce the abacus, and then sell them in the 33 Heavens." Gao Ping told Li Tai.

"It's said that this king is rich, and he always thinks of making money in everything he does. I don't think you are any worse than this king, and you are definitely even worse." Li Tai said to Gao Ping with a smile.

"My lord, I'm afraid this is the old saying that there is a servant like a master." Gao Ping said to Li Tai with a smile on his face.
