"Miscellaneous Poems of Literary Idleness"

Mounds, mountains, streams, rivers, and thatched cottages.

Zhuhu chickens and porpoises are scattered meat, and beggars in the wild forest feed the remaining bran.

The bedside is dying of ordinary medicine, and the bag will be a dowry.

May I cross the crowd first, and my kindness will be boundless.

With the opening of Datang Bank and the start of the operation of charitable foundations, Li Yaowei's fame rose again, and his poem in Guangzhou became popular again.

"Mind the family and the country, and care about the common people!" This is an evaluation of Li Yaowei by many people.

"He is also worthy of the court's commendation for him."

"That's right, at a young age, I guess many people are not convinced, and now they should not be convinced."

On the first day of September, there is a solar eclipse.

The Wenyao family had heard what Li Yaoyu said about the cause of the solar eclipse, and there was not much panic, but the people didn't understand, and Li Shimin didn't know, thinking that this was a sign of natural disasters, and ordered to open granaries to help the people and reduce taxes in some areas for a year. Li Yaowei didn't say much, anyway, if he did a good deed, he wouldn't be stupid enough to slap the emperor in the face.

"Huai Jin, you're here." In the East Palace, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were reading, but it seemed that Li Shimin was not very interested.

"Your Majesty has something on your mind?"

Li Shimin hesitated for a while, "I ...... I work hard and there is no mistake, why is there a solar eclipse in the sky? Am I not doing well enough? ”

Li Yaojian smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Your Majesty." Li Yaojie was upright, "Do you remember that the minister mentioned in "Persona Note" that the moon goes around the earth and the earth goes around the sun? ”

"Yes."

It took Li Yaowei a long time to explain to him the reason why the movement of the sun, moon and the earth caused the lunar and solar eclipses.

"In other words, this is the norm?"

"Of course." Li Yaoyu smiled, "Your Majesty governs the country sincerely, for the country and the people, the courtiers admire, and the people love you, how can the sky be dissatisfied?" ”

Li Shimin was in a much better mood, "Haha, that's good." Then again, how do you know these things? ”

"Based on some people's observations."

Li Shimin shook his head, "You don't want to say, I won't force you, come here, play cards with me." ”

Li Yaowei couldn't cry or laugh, the three kinds of games he taught were played by three or four people, it seems that he and Empress Changsun were unwilling to let their children play, for fear that the playthings would lose their minds. Li Yaojian knew that born in the emperor's family, his childhood was not very easy, especially the prince, under the management of his parents and the emperor, every day under the management of his parents and emperors, he studied scriptures and other books, and also learned archery and other skills, so as to lay a good foundation for governing the world in the future, and his life was actually much more difficult than that of ordinary children.

"Your Majesty, let me call you a little game for two, called Twenty-Four."

"Oh?" Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were interested.

"Divide the cards into parts, the aces in the cards are equal to 1, and the jacks, queens, and kings are all equal to 10, and then four cards, by addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so that they are equal to twenty-four. The first to think and answer correctly wins, and the loser gets four cards back until one side gets all the cards. ”

Li Yaowei explained and drew four cards, "For example, this time 4, 5, 10, 10, 10 divided by 10 is 1, 5 plus 1 is 6, 4624." ”

This gameplay is very simple, Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and Fifth Yao all understand.

"Let's try, can four of us?"

"Yes, one person can play a card, and if you can't think of it, you can get the card." Li Yaojian smiled lightly, "I'm afraid that you will say that I am bullying you." ”

Li Shimin blew his beard, "Don't be arrogant, you don't know who loses and who wins?" ”

I don't know who loses, but Li Yaoji's victory is very simple, they ancients rarely know how to multiply formulas, and their mental arithmetic ability is definitely not as good as Li Yaoji's.

"Multiply 10 by 10 to get a hundred, minus 4 is 96, and divide by 4 is exactly 24."

"Wow, Yan Gong, your arithmetic ability is too exaggerated, right?" Empress Changsun was completely surprised, many times, when she saw the cards for a few seconds, Li Yaojian calculated the solution, and sometimes they felt that there was no solution to the cards, and Li Yaojian could find the solution.

"How did you get your arithmetic skills?" Li Shimin also had to obey.

"When I was a child, I memorized multiplication formulas every day."

"Multiplication formula?"

"That's right." Li Yaowei said, "When I was a child, when I first started learning multiplication and division arithmetic, my husband asked us to memorize it. ”

"It seems that we have to bear them to memorize the formula." Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

Li Yaowei silently said sorry to Li Chengqian in his heart.

"But this game can also be taught to them." Li Shimin looked at Li Yaoyu with satisfaction, "I want to know now, how many things do you still have in your head?" ”

"Ahem...... The things I learned were miscellaneous. Li Yaowei was so afraid that Li Shimin suddenly said: Knock your head open to find out.

"Let's keep playing." Li Shimin did not force Li Yaoyu to explain clearly, "When you are needed in the future, you can use it without reservation." ”

"Of course."

Li Shimin doesn't say this, Li Yaowei will do the same.

In the first game, Queen Changsun lost, and she was a little helpless, "I rarely learn arithmetic, I thought it was useless, but now I have a heel." ”

Li Yaowei is not surprised by her words, ancient people, if they are not business families, or related professions, really rarely learn arithmetic, ancient schools have arithmetic teaching, but few people learn, resulting in the ancient times except for some interested mathematicians, the vast majority of people's mathematics level is really low, not to mention the eldest grandson and queen.

"You can blame Your Majesty for this."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun: "??? ”

Li Yaoyu replied in a low voice: "He won't let you." ”

Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin with a smile, Li Shimin looked at Li Yaowei with a black line, and gritted his teeth in his heart: You provoke the feelings of our husband and wife? Suspicious of a long life?

"You said the other day that games should be fair and equitable." It was Empress Changsun who spoke softly and gave Li Shimin the steps.

Of course, Li Shimin will not be really angry, "Come again!" ”

After playing a few times, Fifth Yao, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are all proficient a lot, and they have also mastered the tricks, and they have memorized some easy-to-calculate card types, and everyone has played back and forth in the back, unlike before, it was completely Li Yaoyu who was bullying people.

The time was not early, Li Yaowei and Fifth Yao said goodbye and left, and before leaving, they left Li Shimin and Empress Changsun a few games that could be played by two people, so as not to make them bored...... "Queen, remember to remind Your Majesty, don't be happy and waste the government." ”

Back at home, Li Yaoyu also taught this 24-point game to others, so that they could collectively fight wits and courage.

"Xianggong, how many more games do you have?"

"There are many more, and one of them is very fun, but not easy to do."

As a modern person, Li Yaowei will of course have one of the most popular - mahjong. But Li Yaowei didn't know what to use to make mahjong tiles, ordinary bamboo is easy to break, and it stabs hands, so he won't consider this for the time being.

"I'll teach you how to play flying chess."
