    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 so anxious to come to me?" Li Min asked casually while sipping tea.  Originally, because of Yang Xian's incident, he didn't go out much these days except to visit some important elders. Of course, this was also the reason why his gang of friends were not around. Cheng Huailiang, Li Yong and others were all in the military academy.  , usually can't come out at all, while Yan Bei, Li Jingheng and others stay in Taiwan to cultivate plantations. Don't know when they can 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 was a worldly expert.

    "Haha, I didn't expect Elder Yuan to learn to tell the truth!" Li Min laughed, but since Yuan Tiangang didn't want to talk, 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?"

    Upon hearing Li Min's question 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,  I have also hired nearly two hundred fellow Taoists who are profound in Taoism to serve as teachers, 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: "Daoist Yuan is indeed the number one person in the Taoist sect. He can gather so many teachers and students in a short time. In 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 I heard Li Min's congratulations, I was naturally very happy, but I still said a few words of humility.

    "By the way. Chief 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  It¡¯s the chemistry foundation you provided, 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 the question you asked is  It's 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 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 chemical research.

    When Li Min was imagining the future development of the chemical industry.  But then I heard Yuan Tiangang say again: "Your Highness, speaking of chemistry, although there is no separate teaching yet. However, many students who are particularly interested in chemistry have formed a small group, and this group is independently conducting research on chemistry.  And they have 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? Is there 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, actually 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 medicine, and they are all here now.  Taught in the college, these people were very obsessed with the chemistry foundation 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 study.  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 the substitution of chemical element symbols and molecular formulas. Although Li Min cannot remember all the chemical element symbols and molecular formulas, it is just a symbol anyway, so he can just create another one by himself.  For example, oxygen was originally o, but in the Tang Dynasty, Li Min could just write any symbol instead of o. Anyway, he only needed to know that it was oxygen.

    During the conversation between the two, the carriage kept moving forward rapidly and soon arrived at the gate of Taoist Academy.  Taoist College was built in??Directly south of Anseong.  In fact, in order to show the difference between their Taoist colleges, Yuan Tiangang also asked Li Shimin for instructions. After the other party agreed, he built the Taoist College 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 exactly the same.  in a straight line.

    However, the Taoist College is not as close to Chang'an as the Observatory. After leaving Mingde Gate, walk 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 Yuan Tiangang chose 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 nameless. In order to build a Taoist academy, we bought this nameless hill years ago.  It is named Daoshan. The mountain gate in front of it was donated by King Huo. It is carved from fine white marble and can stand for thousands of years. After passing through the mountain gate, there is the mountain climbing ladder of Daoshan, with a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine.  These are 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 in anger. 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 the King Huo mentioned by Yuan Tiangang, Li Min also knew that he was the fourteenth brother of his father Li Shimin, named 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 has seen it a few times, but was not very impressed.

    Although the Taoist Academy is not a Taoist temple, there are also a group of Taoist priests gathered here, 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. Only in this way can you show your pursuit of Taoism.  People's sincerity, Taoist College is no exception. 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.  Mountain top.

    After reaching the top of the mountain, Li Min was so tired that he punched 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 sneered when he saw this. Could it be that these Taoist cultivators have relatively long lives, probably because they were 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 Palace. 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 to the military academy that Li Min personally supervised the construction of, the Taoist academy's architecture is even more unique. It can even be said that this is actually a huge Taoist temple, but it is mainly used for teaching.  As soon as he entered the Taoist Academy, he immediately heard waves of clear readings coming from the tall building with eaves next to him. The only thing Li Min could hear was a copy of the Tao Te Ching. The rest had no idea what the Taoist priests in the building were reading.  ?

    "Your Highness, this is the closest to the Sanqing Palace, so it is the place to study Taoism. 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, which really makes Li Min admire 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, he was not idle along the way. As he walked, Yuan Tiangang introduced the various building functions of 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,  Only then will all Taoist academies be completely completed.

    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.  , I couldn¡¯t understand why he was here for a moment?
