Unconsciously, the seventh year of Zhenguan entered the middle of summer.

This year, Datang is still not calm.

Although there is no movement from the foreign enemy for the time being, there will still be rebellions. For example, in Sichuan, there has never been a complete annexation to the Tang Dynasty, before Yazhou rebelled, and later Jiazhou and Lingzhou also rebelled once, the loss of power is not big, Zhang Shigui and Niu Jinda led the army to quickly quell the rebellion.

And in addition to the rebellion, there are natural disasters.

In the middle of June, Huchong broke the embankment at the boundary of Yangzhou, and the flood flooded countless crops and houses, and the bitter Li Shimin could only send Sun Fujia over to relieve the disaster, and he had a good blood - Li Yuanjia was really not surprised at all when he heard the news, after all, if there was no drought or flood in any year this year, would it still be a feudal society?

Anyway, Yangzhou is far away from Luzhou, and it has nothing to do with him.

However, after waiting for two months, Li Yuanjia finally waited for the emperor's reward.

In recognition of his merits in making Quyuan plow, Li Shimin's reward for his younger brother was quite generous, not counting treasures such as Mingyu jewelry, there were 500 copper coins and 500 silk horses in the money and silk alone! Moreover, the emperor also knew that Li Yuanjiashan liked to write and paint, so he specially rewarded him with a set of his cherished four treasures of the study. It is said that the inkstone alone is worth hundreds of times!

As for the title or something, Li Yuanjia is already a prince, and there is no reward, so in addition to writing a large number of words of praise in the holy decree, Lao Li has no other expression - if the prince wants to rise further, then only the position of the emperor will remain!

In a word, Li Yuanjia's investment has earned back a hundredfold.

Therefore, after receiving the reward from Chang'an, Li Yuanjia instructed Han Shan with a smile early the next morning: "In the future, every time Chen Mu improves the Quyuan plow, he will send two to Chang'an!" ”

"Yes, King!"

At the same time as he hurriedly lowered his head, Han Shan also rolled his eyes secretly.

Heaven is pitiful, and the king is pleased.

Isn't it 500 copper coins, 500 pieces of silk, some valuable jewelry, and a set of four treasures of the study? It may be a splashing wealth for ordinary people, but for the king of Yu, who has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, tens of thousands of copper coins and countless silk cloths in the treasury, can these small coins really be eye-catching?

But before Han Shan could pity his own king in his heart, he heard Li Yuanjia continue: "By the way, I asked you to find a carpenter who can make a rollover, have you found it?" ”

"Back to the king's words, not yet."

Han Shan hurriedly lowered his head and said helplessly: "We searched all over the territory of Luzhou, but we didn't find a carpenter who could make a rollover...... However, I have already sent someone to collect relevant books, and as long as I can find a simple drawing, Chen Mu and they should be able to follow it. ”

After following Li Yuanjia for a long time, Han Shan also learned the word drawing.

“…… All right. ”

Although he was quite dissatisfied with Han Shan's efficiency, Li Yuanjia also knew that Luzhou was really not as good as Chang'an, and it was impossible for anyone to find talents so easily. And this place is thousands of miles away from Chang'an and Luoyang, and under normal circumstances, it takes a month to come and go, so you really have to be very patient if you want to do something.

"So, go back and give me a fief closer to Chang'an or Luoyang!"

Recalling the letter that his father-in-law wrote to him, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but pray secretly in his heart. Although he didn't know the "history" of "himself" in the future, he knew that during the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin seemed to wait for his father to die, and gave his brothers' fiefdom a big rotation!

If you can change to a good place, Li Yuanjia's many things will be easier to do.

But......

couldn't help but touch his nose, Li Yuanjia squinted his eyes and groaned: "What if the fiefdom remains unchanged at that time, or will it stay in Luzhou forever?" If you don't do anything, you'll have to wait for years in vain...... Alas, in the final analysis, there is still a shortage of talents! ”

Thinking that he was a prince of the Tang Dynasty, it was so difficult to find a carpenter who could do overturning, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but feel a little stuffy.

Not only is there a lack of craftsmen, but also a lack of "cultural people"!

As soon as he thought of the words "cultural person", Li Yuanjia suddenly remembered something: "Old Han, what time is it today?" ”

"Back to the king, today is the first day of junior high school!"

"The first year of junior high school, ......"

Touching his chin that had not yet grown a beard, Li Yuanjia raised his eyebrows and said, "Then isn't today the day when Chen Qian and Huang Licheng teach their students?" Hehe, in the past two months, has anyone failed the exam twice in a row? ”

Shaking his head, Han Shan hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the king's words, there is no failure." I've been staring at them, studying very hard, and I've been excellent in every exam...... The best one, now I can know and write more than 300 words! ”

"Well, that's not bad."

After listening to Han Shan's answer, Li Yuanjia nodded with satisfaction.

Although those five little guys don't want to be of any use in three or five years, Li Yuanjia's expectations for them are not low at all, so he never wants them to be scrapped because they are playful or neglected.

The only pity is that several children are learning a little slower.

But if you think about it, you can understand, after all, don't talk about pinyin and simplified Chinese in these years, there is not even a three-character scripture, a hundred family names, and the so-called teaching materials are all chosen by the teachers themselves. Therefore, in addition to personal talent, the speed of learning also depends on the teaching level of the teachers - it is obvious that the level of Chen Qian and Huang Licheng is very average, and the talent of the five students is not enough!

If you want to get ahead by reading, these kids must not even think about it.

Just a single classical Chinese can toss them for years.

You must know that Li Yuanjia has studied Chinese for 12 years in his last life, and he has also studied classical Chinese for several years, but if it is not for the integration of the memories of this life, it may be difficult to understand those books, not to mention these little guys who started from scratch and the teachers are particularly weak.

But fortunately, Li Yuanjia didn't need them to be able to understand classical Chinese.

To put it bluntly, what Li Yuanjia needs is a subordinate who can read and write simply, and at the same time master a certain mathematical foundation, who can help him by his side in the future, or who can command and record the experiments of the craftsmen or something......

The so-called "great talent" in this era, even if it can be cultivated, Li Yuanjia will not dare!

"Well, if only there was a dictionary."

Thinking of those students who worked very hard, but the teachers didn't pay much attention, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

There's a dictionary so they can learn on their own.

He himself has a lot of time, but it is okay for a prince to occasionally teach them some mathematical foundations, if they really teach them to read and write every day, I am afraid that it will not take a few days for Li Shimin to issue an edict to reprimand.

"Tsk, or ......"

pondering and pondering, Li Yuanjia suddenly had an idea: "I will refer to "Shuowen Jie Zi" myself and make a dictionary to come out?" ”
