Zhao Hao has always believed that cultivating the soil for science is more important than drawing scientific conclusions.

Rather than cramming scientific knowledge into students, it is more important to let students learn how to think scientifically, use scientific tools, and explore the world of science independently.

"Mathematical Principles of Natural Science" is for disciples to learn how to establish a scientific system.

This book, "A Brief Account of Logic", which integrates Yazi's "Tool Theory" and Peizi's "New Tool Theory", is to teach disciples the logical tools for independent scientific research - deduction and induction.

Especially the latter - the scientific induction method proposed by Pei Zi, can be regarded as the cornerstone of modern experimental science and a pioneer in the logical organization of scientific research procedures.

It complements Niu Zi's "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" and illuminates the way forward for the development of modern science.

Speaking of which, Pei Zi was born in Britain, a country in the westernmost part of the world, and is eight years old this year.

For the sake of the scientific development of the Ming Dynasty, the great Master Zhao actually bullied an eight-year-old kid. He was really hardworking to finish the most important work of his life in advance.

I just wonder if the child will feel suffocated when he reads this book when he grows up, as if "I have something in my heart that I cannot express because Zhao Zi's writings are ahead of me"?

But there is no way, who asked Mr. Yanrou to publish this book fifty years later? The Ming Dynasty can't wait, and it is still unclear whether Mr. Zhao can live to that time...

Just as Mr. Zhao was racking his brains to recall how to use the "Three Tables Method" to organize the experimental materials he had obtained, he heard the guard outside report that Mr. Liu had arrived.

"Oh?" Zhao Hao thought that he had come at the right time, otherwise his brains would have been dug out. He sat up and sighed to Secretary Ma, "It seems that this is the only way tonight. I still feel unsatisfied."

Ma Xianglan rubbed her sore wrist, glanced at the master with her beautiful eyes and said, "Master, please spare my life. I can't bear it anymore."

"Hahaha." Zhao Hao couldn't help but laugh happily. He felt his fatigue swept away. He smiled at Qiaoqiao and said, "Sister Qiaoqiao is also exhausted. You should rest early."

"I'm in good health, I won't be unable to handle it." Qiaoqiao couldn't help feeling proud, and went to make tea for the guests.

After chatting and laughing with the young ladies for a while, Master Zhao went to the outer room, only to see Liu Zhengqi standing in the hall with an awkward look on his face.

"Why don't you sit down?"

"How can I sit in front of you?" Liu Zhengqi said with a smile, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late."

"I knew you were coming." Young Master Zhao smiled and asked him to sit down, "Why, are you so worried that you can't sleep?"

"Otherwise, why do I always say, 'My parents gave me life, but my son knows me best?'" Mr. Liu was able to become the vice president of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce, which clearly showed that he was quite capable. At least, his face was thicker than an iron pot.

He started to flatter him, not caring at all that the young man almost became his son-in-law.

"Hahaha." Young Master Zhao couldn't help feeling refreshed. He didn't expect that this man was a flatterer second only to his eldest disciple.

"To tell you the truth, it was me who gave the idea to Governor Cai to invite you here."

"Ah?" Mr. Liu was stunned. After a while, he murmured, "Young Master's behavior is really unexpected. It is beyond the comprehension of mortals like us."

At this time, Qiaoqiao came in to serve tea. Mr. Liu quickly stood up to thank her, not daring to treat her as a maid at all.

Young Master Zhao picked up his special azure-glazed Ru kiln teacup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and felt infinite satisfaction. This teacup would be worth at least 200 million yuan after a few hundred years.

Mr. Zhao has already collected more than a dozen sets... He plans to build a super safe and bury it after lighting up the metallurgical technology tree in the future, leaving it for future generations to hunt for treasures.

Alas, the happiness of rich people is so simple, boring and tedious.

"Young Master, Young Master." Seeing Zhao Hao suddenly motionless and a weird smile on his face, Liu Yuanwai was so scared that he dared to call him for a long time.

"Oh." Zhao Hao came back to his senses, but forgot what he was talking about. He put down his beloved teacup and casually changed the subject: "I saw that you were not in a good mood at the dinner. What's wrong? Have things not been going well recently?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his expression was not wasted.

In fact, he was so thick-skinned that even if his father had just died in the morning, he could still pretend nothing happened in the afternoon. The reason why he acted so lonely and helpless was simply to arouse Mr. Zhao's sympathy.

"Nothing can be hidden from you, young master." His eyes turned red as he said, "I am now in the Chamber of Commerce, like meat that cannot be sold in the dog days of summer - stinky goods. That is really the life of a young widow - very hard. That Xu guy doesn't produce chickens for 20 days - a bad guy, he is a tailor without a ruler - he has bad intentions. The car overturned on the edge of the cliff - taking advantage of others' misfortune!"

"Stop, stop." Young Master Zhao rolled his eyes and said, "Why are there so many allegorical sayings? Speak properly."

"Hey, just talk nicely - Xu has people spread the word that I have completely offended the Xu family and caused Mr. Xu to spend the night on Xishan Island. He also said that I bought Xishan Island at a low price and was a traitor, colluding with the young master to cheat the people."

"Many people believed what he said." Mr. Liu wiped his tears and said, "Not only did he stab me in the back, but the day before yesterday, only a few relatives came to my mother's 70th birthday. Even the brothers from Xishan Island misunderstood me."

"Wow, my personal honor and disgrace don't mean anything. It's just that when I think about the fact that I may not be able to fulfil the young master's trust, my heart feels like it's being cut by a knife. I wish I could jump into Taihu Lake and end it all, so as not to cause trouble for the young master." Liu Zhengqi burst into tears, mainly because of the pain of not being able to become the president, or even the vice president, and his nose was bubbling.

"Okay, stop crying." Zhao Hao was speechless for a while, so he had to stop keeping the secret and said, "I called you here to help you solve this problem."

"Oh...ah?" Liu Zhengqi stopped crying when he heard that, and his snot bubbles became so small that they disappeared. He asked with hope on his face:

"Sir, is there really still hope?"

"What? You doubt me?" Zhao Hao said with a half-truthful smile.

"How could that be? In my heart, you are the Buddha. Is there anyone in the world who doesn't believe in Buddha?" Liu Zhengqi smiled flatteringly and said, "Please enlighten me."

“Hahaha!” Zhao Hao bent one leg and put it on the back of the chair, pointing at Liu Zhengqi and scolding him with a smile: “If you were so obedient back then, you wouldn’t have suffered so much.”

"Alas, this is because I am not blessed enough." Liu Zhengqi sighed sincerely and thought to himself, why don't you just call me dad.

It's really a matter of one thought, and there's a world of difference.

Zhao Hao then said to him, "Your old brothers in Xishan are angry with you because they are jealous of the Jiangnan Cement Factory. You might as well tell them what I said. I can still make cement somewhere else. Even if I return Xishan Island to them, they still won't be able to make a bag of cement!"
