Chapter 206: Triumph
Li Chuan had booked a box in a restaurant early and spent a lot of money on him.
There is no way, the restaurant he invested in does not face Suzaku Street, and he can't see the latest live broadcast, such a classic moment, it would be a pity if he missed it.
First of all, a small group of soldiers rode slowly on horses in high spirits, everyone had a tense face, trying their best to show the solemnity and deterrence of the soldiers, followed by a small group of infantry, and the prisoner car was behind this small group of infantry, and behind the prisoner car was the general of the army, Li Jing, the secretary of the military department!
A few steps behind him was Zhang Gongjin, who served as the marching chief and deputy chief of this war.
Originally, this war was later in history, and Li Shimin also sent Li Shiji, but because of the explosives package made by Li Chuan, this war went very smoothly, and Li Shiji had nothing to do.
The two generals walked up to Suzaku Street and greeted the enthusiastic cheers of the people, and the two of them, who had not been smiling, had proud smiles on their faces.
It was followed by a small group of soldiers, 100,000 troops, but not many came back this time, only 5,000, but even if there were 5,000 people, it was impossible for them all to enter the palace through Suzaku Street, in fact, there were only two or three hundred people, on the one hand, to show the people the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, on the other hand, this is also a ceremony.
Just like at this moment, Li Shimin was slowly stepping out of the palace gate to greet the triumphant general.
The palace gate was a little far away from Li Chuan's restaurant, and when the team walked over, he didn't pay any more attention, just looked at the end of the team, and the last team, he saw two more familiar faces...... Chai Shao and Xue Wanche.
Li Chuan actually didn't have a good impression of Chai Shao, he remembered that in history, Chai Shao was not very good to Princess Pingyang, and he was very good at teaching his sons, both sons were taught to be squishy and rubbish, and they didn't do anything serious except to cause trouble.
But now Chai Lingwu is also his friend, and after contact, his impression of this child is still good, although he is a little skinny, but he is also obedient and sensible.
I don't know why they left such a name in history, or what happened in the middle that caused their personalities to change?
Chai Shao, Li Chuan has only been in contact with him twice, and the two are very polite to each other, so what kind of person this is, Li Chuan actually doesn't know.
He just hoped that this man would stop ruining the child.
The team slowly walked to the gate of the palace, and Li Chuan could only see one tail of the team, and many people followed the army, continuing to follow the ceremony ahead.
Li Chuan was not interested in the ceremony, he returned to the table from the window, and asked Xiao Yinzi to call the shopkeeper to serve the food.
"You're going to eat? There will be a banquet in the palace later. Xu Jingzong was still standing by the window, and only glanced back at Li Chuan.
"It's just because there is a banquet in the palace later, so I have to eat first." Is the banquet in the palace for people to eat? It's a party of bragging and slapping each other.
Xu Jingzong turned his head speechlessly, he felt that he might never understand what Li Chuan was thinking.
Obviously, the banquet is a good occasion for socializing, and if you can get in touch with the emperor and those important ministers, if you perform well, you are likely to be reused.
Thinking of reuse, Xu Jingzong especially wanted to sigh, he really wanted to know, how long did His Majesty want him to follow Li Chuan, it couldn't be a lifetime, right? That's not important.
Li Chuan didn't care about Xu Jingzong, he filled his stomach, and then slowly followed the crowd that had just dispersed back to the mansion.
Then he changed his clothes, got into the carriage, and prepared to enter the palace for a banquet.
This was a long-awaited victory for Li Shimin, and he wanted to hold a banquet to make everyone happy, and by the way, to publicize his exploits, Li Chuan felt that this was completely understandable.
If it were him, he would probably make a bigger move.
It's just that Li Chuan really doesn't like to participate in banquets, probably because he is not good at drinking.
After all, wine has been the only way to get close to each other since ancient times.
It's a pity he can't use it.
Now almost all the officials in Datang know Li Chuan's physique of pouring a cup, but this does not mean that they will let him go when they drink.
So on this day, Li Chuan came back drunk again.
Or rather, he has to eat in advance!
When he woke up again, it was noon the next day, but fortunately, his classes were generally arranged in the afternoon, which did not affect his classes, but only affected him to go to work at Sinong Temple.
In other words, Sinong Temple is now very busy, the new furniture has made a lot, has been sent to the people of several nearby villages, after they tried it, they all said that the Quyuan plow is very easy to use, and privately found someone to build some.
Li Chuan's seeds here have been looted, but they are still not enough, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are still planted in the royal estate, there are not enough seeds, they can't be popularized, and they can't do anything in a hurry.
The speed at which the children learn words is still very fast, and now their self-study class is to translate agricultural books.
Of course, there are also those that do not need to be translated, for example, the agricultural books of the Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty have traditional Chinese versions, and those have been handed over to Sinong Temple.
What they can learn in it, and how much they can learn, Li Chuan doesn't know.
All the translated books were proofread by Xu Jingzong, and then sent to Li Chengqian's printing workshop to be printed, some of them were sold in the bookstore, and some of them were sent to the palace.
Of course, the printed books must also be of the type allowed by Li Shimin.
Li Shimin guarded books such as thick black studies and philosophy very strictly, and the ministers he could see were very limited.
But Houheixue seems to have helped Li Chengqian a lot, he probably learned something, or figured out something, anyway, Li Chuan saw that he didn't have the decadence he had before, but took the initiative to do things energetically.
This is a change of attitude, which means that Li Chengqian has fully accepted his identity and the responsibilities and pressures brought by his identity.
Seriously, Li Chuan really admires him, he can do this at a young age, and sure enough, there is no simple person in the royal family.
"Millennium! Millennium! Li Chuan had just washed up, and as soon as he picked up the porridge bowl, he heard a call from afar.
He gave Xiao Yinzi a look, and Xiao Yinzi immediately went out to pick people in, after all, this voice would sound once every few days, and he was not surprised.
Li Jingheng took the lead in running in, quickly swept around, and then pounced on Li Chuan's side, took it out in his arms, and said, "The translation of this book is complete, what about the comics?" ”
"yes, we should be given 300 to 500 copies this time." Li Ke followed.
Coming in behind him was Li Tai, as well as Li Yuanchang, Li Yuanjing, and a few princes who had only recently become acquainted with Li Chuan.
Li Chuan looked around and decided to retract the idea of 'there is no simple person in the royal family' just now.
This group of children who have been poisoned by comics can't be simpler than simple.
Their joy is to have comics to read.
"Wait until I'm done." Li Chuan was slow and leisurely, not in a hurry at all.
The princes sat around the table and stared at Li Chuan blankly.
Li Chuan turned a blind eye, he was used to eating under the gaze of others, and this did not affect his appetite.
After eating and drinking two sips of hot tea, Li Chuan raised his eyes to look at everyone and asked, "Did you take the book for proofreading?" ”
"Proofreading." Li Jingheng hurriedly took out the book, opened it, and showed the page stamped by Xu Jingzong to Li Chuan.
"Very good, come on, this time it saves a lot of time compared to last time, which means that you are improving." Li Chuan wanted to say slowly, but a few hands reached over and pressed on his shoulders.
Looking up at a few pairs of eyes that had exhausted patience, Li Chuan was very knowledgeable and asked Xiao Yinzi to get the book.
And then, there was no then!
The comic books are all in hand, why are you still here? Do you want to wait for Li Chuan to send them the next stage of the task?
Although after reading the comics, they still have to take the initiative to receive the task, but if they can be one day late, they can be happy for a day.
Isn't it good to be happy? Do you have to find abuse yourself?!
Li Chuan doesn't care, doesn't he just love to read comics? He doesn't have much else, but comics...... Hehe, the comics bought by a thousand live broadcast coins are enough for them to read for a lifetime.
With this carrot, are you still afraid that this group of donkeys will be disobedient?!
"Your Excellency!"
"Freshman, what's the matter?" Li Chuan was thinking about taking a look at the content of the afternoon class when he received a request from Xu Xinsheng who wanted to see him.
"Yes, I heard, uh, I just accidentally heard that you want to get a piece of land in the grassland?" Xu Xinsheng was a little uncomfortable, obviously he was still a little unsuitable for his new identity.
"I'm going to buy a piece of land." Li Chuan nodded.
Xu Xinsheng was silent for a while, and said, "If the adults can be trusted, why don't you let me go to the grassland." ”
"Huh?" Li Chuan was really surprised at this time, go to the grassland? The environment in the grassland is not very good, everything has to start all over again, and even the only place he can help is to pay for it.
"My lord, I think about it, I seriously want to help you do things." Xu Xinsheng's expression became a little more determined.
The reason why he made this decision was because he had just learned that the bullies and corrupt officials in his hometown had been dealt with, and he couldn't think of anyone else who would help him like this except Li Chuan.
So he was grateful, but at the same time, he didn't know what he could do, after all, he didn't know what Li Chuan taught, he couldn't help with the affairs of officialdom, and he didn't know much about the work of Sinong Temple.
Until, he heard that Li Chuan wanted to raise cattle and sheep on a plot of land in the grassland.
In fact, he can't graze or anything, but he can't, you can hire someone.
Those Turkic people in the steppe, as long as they don't want to die, will be sold as slaves, and when the time comes, buy some, and then a little benefit, so that their lives are no worse than before, and they will not resist when they think about it.
He is not ignorant of the affairs on the grassland, at least he knows that in fact, ordinary Turks live a very hard life, more than the people of the Tang Dynasty, so Xu Xinsheng is confident that he can control them.
"This, on the prairie, you may not be used to life." Li Chuan was a little hesitant, but he really didn't have the right person to do such a thing, originally he thought, otherwise he would just send a guard to take care of it.
He's not here to make money anyway.
Li Chengqian laughed at him that he was really willing to spend money in order to eat, he felt that this was a matter of quality of life, and if he could live a better and more comfortable life, the money would be worth it.
Li Chuan also understands that this is because he has confidence, and when he has no money, he will find something to sell, as long as he does not squander it in his life, he will not be short of money.
"It's nothing, just get used to it." Xu Xinsheng is quite open-minded.
Li Chuan saw that his expression was not a little reluctant, and he really wanted to go, so he hesitated for a moment, and said, "If you can buy the land smoothly, then you can take someone with you." ”
"I believe that with the ability of adults, they can definitely buy land." Xu Xinsheng believes this very much.
Li Chuan was a little helpless, he didn't have this confidence himself.
After thinking about it, he directly gave Xu Xinsheng 10,000 taels of silver, and said, "Then you go and prepare, if you need anything, you can buy it directly, and when the time comes, emmm, you will bring a few more guards." ”
"The guards don't need it, the guards in the palace still stay by the side of the adults, I'm just a small person, no one will beat my idea, just buy some or hire some good families, as long as you don't get targeted by the Turks, it's fine." The people of Datang don't need to be guarded, after all, when he is under the banner of Jingyang County, everyone will know that he is Li Chuan's person, and no one dares to provoke him.
He was afraid that the small Turkic troops would come to rob, and of course, he had to make his own plans and recruit people to guard against it.
You can't count on Li Chuan for everything, so what else do you want him to do?!
Li Chuan also agreed with Xu Xinsheng's idea, anyway, when he was out of the house, safety came first, so he very much supported Xu Xinsheng to buy more people back.
After all, the people who buy it back can be used for a long time.
After finalizing this matter, Li Chuan took the book to class.
After he got out of class, as soon as he walked out of the classroom, he saw Li Chengqian.
"Yo, you're here for a lecture?"
"Sorry, I just arrived." Li Chengqian looked back expressionlessly.
"Ah, that's a shame, you're missing out on a great opportunity to learn." Li Chuan also looked serious, and felt sorry for him very sincerely.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Come on, as far as you teach, it's good that the students can understand half of the lesson." ”
"It's better than knowing nothing." Li Chuan can't help it, it's not so simple to let the ancients accept modern knowledge.
At the beginning, Li Chuan thought that he would start teaching from scratch anyway, slow down a little, how could he learn a rough idea in two or three years, if he had talent, maybe he would learn more than him.
But when he actually taught, he found that although ancient students and modern students are both zero-based, they cannot be compared at all.
It is mainly the worldview and outlook on life that have been formed since childhood that hinder them.
Modern children receive so much information every day, although they have heard a lot of knowledge and forgotten it, but slowly and imperceptibly, some things they have a vague concept.
A little bit of clarity in the textbook, they will have an epiphany.
But these students of his can't, that's completely confused.
