Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Li Xin immediately noticed the change in Meng Jiao's attitude, and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no! I didn't feel impatient, but Mr. Meng's words reminded me of some past events, so I was a little distracted."

Meng Jiao obviously didn't believe in such an explanation, and nodded slightly, not even intending to ask questions—since the words are not speculative, and even half a sentence is too much, it's better to keep silent.

Li Xin had no choice but to smile wryly and said to himself: "When I was young, I once met a white-bearded grandfather who was about to starve to death. I gave him some food, and in return, he gave me a book."

Meng Jiao frowned slightly: This sounds too fake.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Meng, what you said just now is very similar to some words in the book." Li Dao said.

Meng Jiao said indifferently: "It is really an honor to be an official to be able to cooperate with the ancients."

"This book says that what life in the world looks like is determined by genes." Li Xin said slowly, "After the rice is planted, what will grow is rice; people can only give birth to people, these are all genes." Controlled in the dark."

Meng Jiao listened dubiously.

So, in the next hour or so, Li Xin took out all the knowledge of genetics in his stomach that did not exceed the scope of high school biology. Of course, he also considered Meng Jiao's ability to accept, mainly using pea as an example, and briefly introduced the dominant and recessive traits, the dominant and recessive genes, and the phenomenon of gene segregation in the process of inheritance, etc.

At first, Meng Jiao just pretended to be a snake, but then he listened more and more seriously.

Regarding the explicit and implicit matters, he had only had some preliminary assumptions, but he didn't expect that after hearing Li Xin's words, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, and he had the urge to shout "So that's how it is".

The word "gene" sounds like Li Xin's nonsense, but after listening to the whole story, Meng Jiao had to say—indeed, genes must be used to explain this series of phenomena, and even he tossed about it. The pair of shapes of soybean grains and adzuki bean grains that have been around for so long, if you understand it from the genetic point of view mentioned by Li Xin, then you can't understand it.

"Presumably, the old man His Highness met must be a world-shattering wise man, otherwise it would be impossible to sum up such knowledge." Meng Jiao said with emotion.

Li Xin smiled awkwardly, and echoed casually—he couldn't really tell Meng Jiao that there was no old man with a white beard, could he? If you insist on saying yes, then you can only thank the biology teacher back then. The lectures were quite interesting and impressed Li Xin so much that he still remembers them even after he was reborn in Datang.

Meng Jiao hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Highness, I have an unfeeling request from you, and I still look to Your Highness."

Seeing Meng Jiao's expression, Li Xin knew what his "unfeeling invitation" was: probably he wanted to borrow this legendary secret book from a mysterious old man with a white beard.

"That book has been lost." Li Xin said regretfully.

"Ah?" Meng Jiao was taken aback, his eyes were full of disappointment, and he almost beat his chest. Frankly speaking, if Li Xin's status was not too noble, he would have picked up Li Xin's collar and questioned: How could he not copy hundreds of copies of this unique book? Lost it so easily?

Seeing this, Li Xin smiled, and said, "But it's okay. At that time, I thought this book was very interesting, so I read it many times, and I remembered the content. I will write a copy silently and give it to Mr. Meng."

Meng Jiao was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I thank you, my lord!"
